Wang Yongji is sincere, otherwise he would not have become friends with Hai Rui, so after Zhu Yijun said this, he also dismounted directly and said:

"The minister doesn't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, the local bureaucrats and scholars are indeed not as good as Your Majesty said, and they are not so loyal to the monarch and love the people!"

Wang Xijue and the others were stunned on the spot when they heard Wang Yongji's words, did anyone say this about their own circle?

Wang Yongji continued to tell the truth: "The ministers are often taken seriously by them! And there will still be bold bureaucrats who do things with the same set of behaviors as before, wantonly arresting the people to serve themselves, and deliberately not letting the people know that the court is no longer serving the people, especially the people in the countryside. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "I don't believe this, if I wasn't so loyal to the king and loved the people, how could I see so many people living comfortably along the official road, and so many schools?" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"This is because they all know that His Majesty is going to pass there, so they don't dare to be sloppy."

"Not only have the rulers long written letters to remind the bureaucrats along the way not to derelict their government and bully the people, but even the ministers, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, etc., because these places are very important, they often come to the places where His Majesty wants to pass through to seriously visit."

"Therefore, in the places where His Majesty passed, the bureaucrats and scholars did not dare to come nonsense, neither dared to forcibly arrest the common people as slaves, nor dared to enslave the common people, and even those who had already served had to be put back, and gave full salaries, and would take the initiative to preach the policy of the imperial court to be exempted from forced labor forever, and did not hesitate to spend money to invite the people to understand the policy, and would also ask for a notice to the following, so as to prevent the people from not knowing the new policy when His Majesty and the ministers went to ask."

"In addition, even if Your Majesty will not come, in fact, the bureaucrats themselves have to be vigilant in the vicinity of these official roads and big cities and towns, and they dare not come nonsense."

"Because they are worried that there are big people who will find bad things after discovering them, such as the story of the Marquis of Tieling, not to mention, the secret agents of the factory guard often visit these important places, so these places should have a more New Deal atmosphere."

"But in places far away from the official road, it is still difficult to guarantee that there are no evil officials and gentry who do evil."

"Your Majesty said that Weifu came to look at other places, and the minister knew that this kind of thing might happen that disappointed His Majesty, but how could the minister stop it."

"After all, the real situation is like this, and the good government that is not conducive to the officials and gentry to do evil is not something that can be thoroughly implemented with repeated orders, because the cangshi does not necessarily know the etiquette, and there are many people who will never fail to do the evil if they have the opportunity to do it, so the minister thinks that it is good for His Majesty to see it, so as not to really have too many illusions about the ministers and other bureaucrats and doctors, and feel that the ministers can implement the new policy very well."

Wang Yongji said at this time.

"I actually know all of this, and I don't think it's strange, and I won't be disappointed in you because of this."

"I asked that just now, but I was quite helpless for a while, and I would be embarrassed sometimes, but in fact, it is nothing, no matter how many bureaucrats and scholars in the world do to be sorry for me, I will still believe that Qing and others are of the same mind as me."

Zhu Yijun said that the king used to be embarrassed.

Wang Xijue and other accompanying officials also blushed even more, eager to eat the officials in front of them and the three scholars with domestic slaves who said that they would take the robbed women to satisfy the wild taste.

After Zhu Yijun finished saying this, he dismounted, and walked towards the officials and scholars who locked up the people with his sword:

"I have already issued an edict to avoid forced labor forever, why are you still serving in locks and people in this small mountain village?"

At this time, the official and the scholar had already passed the conversation between Zhu Yijun and Wang Yongji, and knew that Zhu Yijun was likely to be the Son of Heaven, so they were all stunned in place.

At this time.

As soon as Zhu Yijun asked, the official who reacted more quickly knelt down first and said, "The emperor is tolerant, it is the upper authorities who are still issuing official tickets, and we also have to act according to the orders of the officials." ”

"Since you obey the orders of the superior and do things without a monarch's father, then I will give you a good time!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun drew his sword and killed the official, letting his blood drip down along the blade of the sword, and the whole person also spat out blood and looked at Zhu Yijun dumbfounded.

The rest of the officials and the three scholars were so frightened that their legs were weak and their whole bodies trembled.

If it weren't for Zhu Yijun personally appearing here, they would only think that it was the emperor's intention, and let these officials arbitrarily lock them up to serve these sons and brothers, and even be insulted by them as slaves.

"Whose orders are you obeying?"

At this time, Zhu Yijun pulled out his bloody sword and asked several other officials.

At this time, the official who came to his senses hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it is the county of this county." ”

"What a hundred miles of marquis, send an edict, send Jinyi Wei to arrest all the officials in the county to the camp! Wait for me to ask and behead on the spot! ”

Zhu Yijun said this.

Zhang Jingxiu immediately said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at the three scholars again, and asked the scholar who said at the beginning that he wanted to taste wild fun: "What is your identity and what fame?" ”

The scholar replied tremblingly: "Student Fu Mengxia." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked the other officials: "What he said is true, if it is false, it will be regarded as meritorious!" ”

"It's true!"

These officials thought that what this scholar said was false, but they didn't expect that this scholar was so frightened that he only knew the truth after Zhu Yijun's murder.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun continued to ask this Fu Mengxia: "What is the relationship between Fu Mengchun, the left deputy capital imperial historian, and you?" ”

"It's my brother!"

This Fu Mengxia replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun pointed to those officials and the people and said: "They either dare not disobey the orders of their superiors, or they are deliberately concealed by the officials from the news of the new policy. ”

"So it turns out that he has been exempted from forced labor forever?"

"No one in the county came to the township to inform him, but he still received Ding Yin."

At this time, some people on the side began to discuss after hearing Zhu Yijun's words.

And after Zhu Yijun asked this Fu Mengxia, Fu Mengxia only sweated and said: "It was the local prefect Xue Fu Yin who sent the official ticket of the people to the students." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun shouted again: "Arrest all the big and small officials of the Zhending Prefect to the camp, and behead them on the spot after I ask!" ”

Fu Mengxia suddenly shuddered.

"He gives you an official ticket, you take it, you dare to serve the people like this, and you have to defile the innocence of the people who were forcibly captured, what have they become in your eyes, are they your servants, or wild beasts who can be trampled on wantonly?"

Zhu Yijun asked this Fu Mengxia.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

……

Fu Mengxia kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Chop!"

"The Ministry of Culture and Etiquette, forbidding the examination of three generations of his family, Fu Mengchun's family education is not effective, he does not know how to teach his children to learn new rites, and abide by the new policy, which is tantamount to indulging his children in trouble, dismissing his post and exiled to Luzon to fill the army!"

"His house slaves have also been cut down, and the master is in trouble!"

Zhu Yijun only dropped these few words, then looked at the other two scholars, and instructed Zhang Jingxiu: "Also take them down for careful interrogation!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun returned to the horse, turned the horse's head and said, "Go back to the camp!" ”

Liu Ling, Wang Xijue, and Wang Yongji immediately followed.

And Wei Peng, the general banner of the Janissaries, who only made great contributions in the war against Yang Yinglong, obeyed Zhang Jingxiu's orders to lead a team of brocade guards to stay, and personally cut off Fu Mengchun's head with a knife, and carried his head back to the camp to hand over to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun issued an order to pass on the first to the major prefectures, county schools and academies.

Wang Xijue found Qi Jiguang after returning to the camp with Zhu Yijun, and the two looked at the snow scene outside the tent while drinking tea, and talked about what they had seen today.

"Gong has seen it now, let His Majesty go out of Beijing to inspect, and sure enough, there will be deaths."

Qi Jiguang smiled at Wang Xijue first.

Wang Xijue nodded: "Yes, I still let Your Majesty see some evil things for bureaucrats and scholars." ”

"Your Majesty must be even more disappointed in the bureaucrats!"

Qi Jiguang nodded, replied, and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty still trusts us, and does not blame the Governor Wang Butang for this, let alone the second assistant in charge of internal affairs." ”

Wang Xijue smiled helplessly: "At the beginning, I changed my mind and asked Your Majesty to leave the palace, so that Your Majesty could see that the new policy really changed the Ming Dynasty and benefited the people of Li, but Your Majesty still saw the bad side of the bureaucrats and scholars. ”

"Don't be too disappointed, the chronic disease of hundreds of years can be completely solved in one or two decades, Your Majesty has at least seen the side of the people who have indeed become rich, and he should not be too disappointed in the hundreds of officials in the world, at least he did not blame Wang Butang, and even kept emphasizing that he trusts you and me."

Qi Jiguang comforted Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue nodded, sighed and said: "What Ming Gong said is true, but I think that Your Majesty is not disappointed at all, because Your Majesty has never believed that the bureaucrats in the world will benefit the people, and he will believe that a single minister like Gong will rest assured of the people, but he obviously knows that human nature is evil, and thinks that the bureaucracy as a whole will only oppress the people and have no favor, so he did not react so violently. ”

"You made me believe that all the officials in the world are good, and I don't believe it either, let alone Your Majesty."

Qi Jiguang also said this with a smile at this time.

Wang Xijue said: "But he is the monarch's father!" If the monarch feels more and more that his courtiers should be killed, and has always been contemptuous and prejudiced against his courtiers, how can this country be governed? ”

"I can only hope that Your Majesty can see more bureaucrats and gentlemen in the future!"

Qi Jiguang replied.

Wang Xijue nodded: "I believe that most of the bureaucrats who believe in the new rites are gentlemen, and they will also correct His Majesty's prejudice against us!" ”

Qi Jiguang bowed his head: "First of all, we must be upright ourselves, so that the Son of Heaven can believe that there are still more gentlemen than villains in today's bureaucrats." ”
