Zhao Zhigao was robbed for leaking secrets, which shocked the ministers of the Imperial Palace.

Especially the performance of Emperor Zhu Yijun in the process of this matter.

this day.

When the red sun climbed the Forbidden City triumphantly again.

Inside the government hall.

Yu Youding, a university scholar, had just finished eating a bite of the wooden lotus jelly given by the emperor, and put the crown back on, and turned to look at Shen Shixing, who was wearing a ticket to look at the ticket, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is the master who inherits the master, and attacks the shield of the other with his spear, so that Yuan Fu will say a word, and from then on, all the people in the world will become beasts!" ”

Shen Shixing sighed, then put the pen on the pen stand, took off the bridge of the nose engraved with the words Taiyue gift, and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief, and only after wiping it did he put this thing into the silver box, and closed the silver box, picked up the fan and shook it in the breeze, while saying:

"The servant said it!"

"There is a right and wrong in the holy will, don't reason with Your Majesty, Zhao Zhigao doesn't listen, and he has to reason with His Majesty, and the result is like this, and the external gift can't be changed now."

"That's right, I'm afraid the entire tributary system has to be changed!"

Pan Cheng followed at this time.

"Yes, I don't believe in the truth, tell it to Your Majesty, can a talented and intelligent son like Your Majesty believe it?"

Fang Fengshi also agreed, and after speaking, he got up from the right side of Shen Shixing and shook the fan.

Shen Shixing glanced at the mechanical clock made by the newly hired craftsmen of the palace in the political affairs hall, and said: "It's almost the beginning of the day, presumably the things in everyone's hands should be almost completed, just right, call everyone here, the servant has a few words to say." ”

】

Zhang Xueyan and Hai Rui, the newly arrived household secretary in Beijing, put down their pens and got up, and walked towards Shen Shixing.

Syllable!

Syllable!

For a while, the living house made Zhu Geng also clapped his hands and called the housekeepers and Sun Jigao from outside.

Shen Shixing said earnestly at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Confucian ministers are also treasonous, and this matter cannot but arouse our vigilance, not to mention, everyone has been valued by His Majesty and entered the center, and we must learn from it in the future!" Be cautious, have few desires, and think of danger, whether it is for the country or yourself, it is beneficial! ”

All the officials bowed their heads.

"In this way, in the future, before the major decisions of the center are made to the world, all those who serve in the center should not write to anyone, including family members! Even if it's just sending something, you don't have to rush to greet your parents within a month or two. ”

Shen Shixing said.

"Okay!"

Fang nodded at the right time, and looked at Sun Jigao: "Especially here as the official of the decree, all the holy decrees have passed through your hands, you can't have any claims, even if you don't approve of it in your heart, you have to rot in your stomach!" ”

Sun Jigao said yes after hearing this.

"Very good!"

The other ministers and central ministers all replied.

Shen Shixing nodded after hearing this: "In this case, the servant will be written into the regulations for the examination of the Imperial Secretary and the Political Affairs Hall, and when the servant exercises the right to pass the examination in the future, if any of you have to be careless because of this, don't blame the servant for not saying anything first." ”

"Don't dare!"

The ministers hurriedly replied.

Shen Shixing nodded accordingly: "Very good, in addition, please remember that since you are here, you have to be sincere!" ”

"As the saying goes, clothes are not as good as newcomers, and those who can come here are either old ministers, or old men of the heavenly family who have been close ministers for many years, all of them have watched His Majesty's accession to the throne and now dominate the world, you have to be intimate with Your Majesty, flesh and meat, don't say anything on the scene, embarrass yourself!"

"How wise the Son of Heaven is, don't treat yourself as a gentleman, but as a courtier."

"We remember."

"That's what Motosuke said."

The ministers replied.

Shen Shixing smiled and waved his hand: "After finishing today's business, go back if you should go back." ”

……

"In the future, the mailing of the political affairs hall and the imperial secretary will be collected and distributed by Jinyiwei, and the notes that need to be printed and distributed by private individuals will also be collected and printed by Jinyiwei, and a special person will be assigned to be responsible, which will not only serve as a new favor to the central minister, but also to preserve his innocence."

"I don't want to kill people again when the time comes."

Zhu Yijun here, also instructed Zhang Whale about strengthening the Jinyi Guard's monitoring of the central officials of the Political Hall and the Imperial Division.

After hearing this, Zhang Whale hurriedly said yes, and then reported to Zhu Yijun: "Emperor, Nandu came to express urgently that Yue Lan, who was in contact with the Zhao family and sent Burmese Yi into Beijing to see Zhao Zhigao, suddenly exposed his body in the wild, and a prostitute who lived in his permanent residence recognized him. ”

"So, can't you find the person behind Yue Lan?"

Zhu Yijun suddenly frowned and asked.

Zhang Whale said: "Yes, Emperor! The failure of Nanzhi to burn grain must have aroused the vigilance of those who wanted to spoil the imperial court, and wiped out this population in advance. ”

"It's okay!"

"Although the chess is played in Jiangnan, the game is the entire destruction of Burma!"

"Things inside and outside are always connected! Solving external troubles can calm internal worries, and calming internal worries can often help external troubles to be solved! ”

"The breakthrough to find out these people is still in the war to destroy Burma! You factory guards have to work this important matter, study your opponents carefully, and don't let me spend money in vain to feed you! ”

Zhu Yijun said.

"The slave knows."

"It's just that I'm afraid that the slave and maid themselves won't be able to stay for a long time in the next term as the governor of Dongchang, and I heard that the secretary has received a chapter for impeaching the slave and maid for accepting bribes."

"The emperor is the lord of the world, and it is impossible to break the law of the world because of the slave and maid, so the slave and the maid know that it is difficult to escape the sanction, so now I also ask the emperor to set a new factory as soon as possible."

Zhang Whale suddenly choked up and said.

Although most of the money that Zhang Whale was greedy for was handed over to the emperor, he couldn't say that, so he still only said that he was greedy for money.

"Governing the country must be strict and lenient, and now the success of the destruction of Burma is the most important, and the relationship between the world and the imperial court should indeed be eased, at least let the ministers of civil and military affairs who still have great righteousness believe that I am not partial to the inner court, lest the civil and military generals be lazy in the matter of destroying Burma, and even continue to destroy; And for Master Shen, they can rely on tens of thousands of civil servants and clerks across the country to complete the new reform, and they must also ease up, at least to be just in government! ”

"So, you're right! I can't just say it's right to take bribes because of you. But I know that you have no choice but to take bribes, and you may not be in this position for a long time. ”

"Exactly!"

When Zhu Yijun said this, he got up and held his belt, walked to the railing of the palace, looked at the Forbidden City at dusk, and said:

"When the time comes, you will go to Nanjing to see Sun Hai and them, and you will also contact with the scholars on the grounds that the monarch is unpredictable, form a society to raise a drama troupe, and even build a garden to collect books and gold and stones, and you will be more scholars than scholars!"

"Then use the way of scholars to inquire about the scholars, and report to me as soon as there is news!"

"In addition, I also give you the right to act secretly and cheaply, and you can order the local Jinyi guards to listen to your orders at any time, so as to find out the true secrets behind these literati."

"Sometimes, if you don't join them, you really can't fully understand what kind of people each of them is."

"It's not just them who have to infiltrate the factory guards, you have to infiltrate their Shilin circles now."

Then.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale: "I will give you 200,000 taels of silver, and you will go down to Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou when the time comes, and whoever is famous will use silver to knock on the threshold of whom!" I want to see how much resistance the literati in Jiangnan have in the face of gold and silver, and whether they will also call you Zhang Gonggong a romantic gentleman at that time. ”

"The qin, chess, calligraphy and painting that the slave maid learned in the inner study hall have long forgotten about it, and I am afraid that when the time comes, I will only be ridiculed by them if I really go to show off in front of them according to the emperor's will."

Zhang Whale said with a smile.

"Then you go to someone who is willing to look at the silver and not laugh at you!"

"After going down to the south of the Yangtze River, be sure to buy more down-and-out literati in the market, most of these people are from the poor family, know the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and need someone to guide them, you can organize them to arrange more operas and scripts that can make the people know the virtue of the new policy, the heart of me, the difficulties of the court, the greatness of the country, and the splendid national culture! To be easy to understand, first set up some awards in your personal name, and select talented people to recommend me to know. ”

"In addition, bring Tang Xianzu from the edict prison, he may be able to help you!"

Zhu Yijun said.

"Yes! The slave and maid will be loyal and wise to complete the emperor's edict! ”

After Zhang Whale saw the official of the factory guard and announced the emperor's decree that night, he went back to his outer house to change into a Confucian robe, began to practice the piano, and flipped through a few poetry books from time to time to begin to cultivate his feelings.
