Chapter 274: The Emperor is Humility, and Heaven's Will Is Dark (Monthly Pass 4)

"Your Majesty, the slave maid will lead people to arrest Zhu Ji to Dongchang?" When Liu Jin heard that Zhu Ji couldn't be allowed to run away, he immediately understood.

Zhu Youzhu almost didn't squirt out all the tea he had just sent into his mouth, and looked at Liu Jin with resentment, not expecting that this product was not as smart as he imagined.

It's just that this kind of IQ seems to be more in line with history, otherwise it would be impossible to naively send civilian officials to rectify the military tun for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, but as a result, they were framed by the entire civilian clique for rebellion.

"Your Majesty, did the slave say something wrong?" Liu Jin noticed Zhu Youji's reaction and immediately asked weakly.

Zhu Youzhu gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "Sun handed it over to the East Factory, and Li Min also handed it over to the East Factory, what did the East Factory give me to judge?" Now that I really allow you to torture Zhu Ji, can you guarantee that Zhu Ji will confess everything? ”

It is said that since Zhu Ji has been suspected, he only needs to make a will to arrest Zhu Ji and torture him, which can be regarded as a way to solve the problem.

It's just that Wang Zhi is not in the capital, and the people in Dongchang are actually not much better than Jinyiwei, and he really can't believe that the people in Dongchang can forcibly pry Zhu Ji's mouth open.

Arresting and interrogating people is certainly a matter of lip service, but if innocent people are always wronged, perhaps "innocent people" will die tragically in prison, which will actually have a bad consequence.

Even if he doesn't mind being a tyrant who kills on a killing spree, an emperor who doesn't pay attention to the rules at all is destined to be detached from morality, and he can't get a worker who really works hard for himself.

As an emperor, you only need an excuse to execute any important minister.

Yingzong killed Yu Qian because he suspected that Yu Qian wanted to establish the son of King Xiang, and Chongzhen beheaded him because he suspected that Yuan Chonghuan had taken refuge in Nurhachi, and even killed Yue Fei without a warrant.

After all, Zhu Youzhu is the emperor who wants to lead China to the top of the world, and now is not the end of the dynasty that needs to cut through the chaos quickly, so the best thing to do is not to slaughter because of suspicion, but to try to find out the evidence of the crime that can convince the people of the world.

The emperor is suitable for the world; The king is the place where the world goes.

Zhu Youzhi is the emperor and the lord of all the people in the world, and he is also the object of everyone's allegiance. It only needs to establish a positive image of the world to win the support of all the people, but it is impossible to adopt such despicable means in a hurry.

Although he was already very convinced that Zhu Ji had a problem, it was probably difficult for Dongchang to make Zhu Ji confess. Even if he really confesses, it is difficult to convince the world, and in the end, he will still blame his evil deeds as persecuted by Wang Zhi like Yang Rong's son.

What's more, although Zhu Ji has problems in forming a party and economics, he may not be disloyal to himself, after all, his daily conscientiousness is what he has seen with his own eyes.

It is precisely in this way that Zhu Youzhu is not ready to give up the road and take the small road, but to be an emperor who can make all the people in the world loyal and supported from the heart.

"What is Your Majesty going to do, the slave is willing to go to the soup!" Liu Jin also realized that Dongchang was really ineffective, so he expressed his loyalty.

Zhu Youzhu was about to ask him to find Wang Yue, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of him still having a note in his hand, so he asked suspiciously: "Who else wants to resign?" ”

"This is Ying Tianfu Yin Yumian's resignation!" Liu Jin reacted immediately and presented another copy of the recital.

Zhu Youzhu hadn't reacted at first, and then said with a wry smile: "Ying Tianfu Yin Yumian? I remember this person, the son of Yu Qian, I heard that the six born to him were all daughters? ”

"Your Majesty has a good memory, Yu Shaobao only has one son in Yu Mian, so Yu Shaobao's bloodline is probably going to be broken!" Liu Jin has actually admired Yu Qian all the time, and sighed helplessly.

Zhu Youzhu also felt sorry for Yu Qian, but when he saw Yu Mian begging him to give Yu Qian a nickname, he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.

Yu Qian was killed by Emperor Yingzong, although he obviously did something wrong, but his relationship with Yingzong was still too close, but it was not appropriate to give Yu Qian too much praise.

In fact, in terms of behavior, Chenghua Dynasty has corrected its mistakes, and it is not thin for the family.

Emperor Chenghua personally tried and rehabilitated Yu Qian, originally Yu Mian could only get a military position of a thousand households, but Yu Mian was reluctant to take a military position at that time.

In the face of this request, Yu Mian is not even a person, at most he gives a civil official a shadow. It's just that Emperor Chenghua directly gave a soldier the fat shortage of Wailang, and now Yu Mian is already a Ming official of the third grade, and Ying Tianfu Yin is not much inferior to Ying Tian's governor.

As for Yu Qian's son-in-law, he was promoted to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard early.

It's just that some things are still unavoidable after all, Yu Mian knows how to sell miserably, and said that his dying wish is to see the court give his father a nickname.

Zhu Youzhu had no reason to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved: "Withhold Zhu Ji's resignation, and I am about to pass on my will, and let him discuss the matter of Yu Qian's name with the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhu Ji is Yu Shaobao's son-in-law, is it inappropriate for him to participate?" Liu Jin was slightly stunned at first, and then carefully reminded Zhu Ji that he should avoid suspicion.

Zhu Youzhu found that Liu Jin still had to polish more, so he calmed down: "Do it!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Jin found that the emperor in front of him was good at everything, but sometimes his methods were incomprehensible, but he naturally didn't dare to disobey him.

Dashi Yongfang, Zhu Mansion.

This mansion is located in the innermost part of Gongming Hutong, and outside the alley is West Chang'an Street, which has an artistic conception of "quiet in the middle of noisy". Although the courtyard looks very ordinary, the interior presents a luxurious architecture.

In the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, even if the dignified Jinyi Guard commander wants to own such a big mansion, it is actually not an easy thing.

In the evening, a spring rain poured down on every corner of Beijing.

A sedan chair came here in the rain, and an old man in a black robe walked out of the sedan chair, and the old man in the black robe was directly led to a secret room by the housekeeper.

The person who came was none other than Ma Wensheng, the former imperial capital of the Zuodu Imperial Palace, and when he saw Zhu Ji coming in, he complained: "Brother Zhu, didn't I tell you?" Wang Yue does have some real skills, he has already seen through a few of our ecstasy arrays, and knows that Yang Han has sneaked back to Beijing City to hide! Yang Han is not reliable, you don't have to be nostalgic for this power, it is the best policy to resign freely like the old man! ”

Zhu Ji looked at the anxious old man, and his eyes flashed with contempt.

Ma Wensheng was because he was aggrieved by the first corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty, so he could not continue to stand in the court, so he resigned. Now it's a good thing that he actually boasted that he had resigned from the government and saved his life as a free and easy resignation.

It's just that these words in my heart are not suitable to say, so I asked Ma Wensheng to sit down first, and asked my subordinates to bring good tea.

Zhu Ji actually didn't want to resign in his heart, even if he had already noticed that the emperor had guessed about him, and even arranged for Wang Xiang to investigate him secretly, but the power of the Jinyi Guard's envoy was too tempting.

Although everyone knows that monkeys can come out as long as they let go of the fruit in the small hole, human nature and animal nature are actually the same thing, and how many men are willing to give up the power in their hands?

"Brother Zhu, but the emperor keeps you, but this must be the emperor's expedient measure, you must not be deceived!" Ma Wensheng knew that Zhu Ji had to leave so that he would not find out about himself, so he seemed to persuade bitterly.

Zhu Ji took a sip of tea, but shook his head gently: "Your Majesty doesn't have any instructions on my resignation, but now I can't leave for the time being!" ”

"How could you not go? It's a big deal for you to hang up your boots and leave, the old man will let you roll call, and you will definitely be able to leave a story through the ages that does not admire power! Ma Wensheng was relieved to learn that Zhu Youzhu did not pour ecstasy soup into Zhu Ji, and immediately said with great disdain.

In fact, he knew that Zhu Youzhu must be in a dilemma now.

If Zhu Ji is allowed to leave, it will make it impossible to continue digging deeper; just used sweet words to retain Zhu Ji, if the evidence of the crime is really found in the future, then the emperor is a self-defeating behavior.

Zhu Ji found that everyone despised the wisdom of the diligent emperor, and asked playfully: "Your Majesty issued an order today for me to discuss with the Ministry of Rites about my father-in-law's name, if I choose to hang up my boots and leave office, can you really leave a good story for me?" ”

"Huh? He...... How could he think...... Thinking of such an excuse? Ma Wensheng's eyes widened hard, looking incredulous.

Although Zhu Ji is not greedy for power and hangs up his boots and leaves, it can indeed be shaped into a good story, but now the emperor wants Zhu Ji to stay and discuss Yu Qian's name.

A person's life is nothing more than "loyalty" and "filial piety".

If Zhu Ji dares to ignore this matter and forcibly leave, then if the matter spreads, let alone go down in history, Zhu Ji may not even have the qualifications to return to his hometown.

He had always suspected that the Emperor had been guided by a superior person by his side, and now that he had undoubtedly confirmed this judgment, such wisdom was definitely not something that the young Emperor could have thought of.

Zhu Ji actually knew that the matter might be related to his brother-in-law's resignation, but he was able to directly use his brother-in-law's affairs at once, which shows that the current emperor is extremely wise.

However, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he chose to stay in the capital for a few days temporarily, deal with this matter and leave.

Not to mention that he can't leave in the name of disloyalty and unfilial piety, because his father-in-law only has a son and a daughter, but he has always regarded himself as half a son, so he needs to stay and fight for a good name for his father-in-law.

"Brother Zhu, it's really not good to hang up your boots and leave office immediately, but if Wang Yue investigates like this, Yang Han may really be found out by him! The top priority is to finalize the name with the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, and then leave the capital immediately tomorrow evening! Ma Wensheng knew that he couldn't force Zhu Ji to leave, so he even warned the authentic.

In fact, he was very anxious on the surface, but he was not very anxious in his heart, but he didn't believe that Wang Yue really had the capital to find out the people he had hidden. The reason why Zhu Ji was repeatedly encouraged to leave as soon as possible was mainly because he hoped that Zhu Ji would leave to add another layer of insurance to his safety.

I have to admit that Wang Yue does have two brushes, so that he had to encourage Zhu Ji to take the initiative to hand in his resignation and leave.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, the altar of mountains and rivers.

"Sow seeds!"

After ploughing the field, the ploughing ceremony came to an important part of spring sowing.

"Rice!"

"Millet!"

"Su!"

"Mai!"

"Shuffled!"

"Cotton!"

……

In the process of planting grains, cotton seeds were also added this year.

None of the civil and military officials questioned this move last year, and now after seeing the benefits that cotton brings to ordinary people, there is naturally no reason to oppose it.

After Zhu Youzhu changed back into the dragon robe, he rewarded the civil and military officials according to the custom, but the interest in this banquet was not high.

Although Wang Yue found Yang Han's hiding place all the way through clues yesterday, the news still leaked out in advance, so that Yang Han was transferred first.

The more things are investigated, the more things are exposed.

This time, I don't know if there is an internal response within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or if the cleaning of his palace is not thorough enough, which caused the news to leak out one step in advance.

The ploughing ceremony ended successfully, and Zhu Youzhu returned to Beijing in a palace car, followed by a large group of civil and military officials.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the palace car, and when he looked at both sides of the road, he brought him a little surprise.

In addition to the Royal Weaving Mill and the United Weaving Mill, many spinning, dyeing and weaving workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, like a textile industrial park in later generations.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't see the scene of the workers going to work, and the roads in front of him were all under martial law, and he still felt a little sorry in his heart.

However, he knows that the textile industry is only in its infancy, and whether the domestic textile industry can really take off, in fact, the core is that the people have money in their pockets.

Perhaps it was the relationship between his background at the bottom in his previous life that made him see the savings of the people at the bottom, and he also deeply realized the importance of people having money in their pockets in any era.

If the majority of people can't survive and only need ordinary black cloth sewing and mending to live, then the shuttle loom can only create an ordinary cotton market.

Only by making the people's pockets really bulge can the cotton industry present a new industry with a hundred flowers contending.

When I returned to Xiyuan, I suddenly felt like I was back home.

"Your Majesty, the will has been given!" Guo Yong stepped forward and reported bitterly.

Zhu Youzhu saw that things didn't develop in the direction he thought after all, so he nodded lightly: "Got it!" ”

In fact, I have figured it out in the past few days, who doesn't have a few mice at home, and now the most important thing is to promote the development of the Ming Dynasty, but we can't put too much energy on these mice.

Now God actually wants to give Zhu Ji a way out, so that he can't get out of the mastermind behind the scenes through Zhu Ji's line, so the right to heaven will do it.

Yu Qian's nickname has been conclusive, although Zhu Ji has always insisted on Yu Qian's Wenzheng and Heng Taimiao, but Zhu Youji could not give Yu Qian the highest nickname and treatment since the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that the defense of Beijing cannot all be attributed to Yu Qian alone, but also to the benefit of all parties to use the power of the whole country to defend the city, and his relationship with Yingzong is still too close.

Even if Yu Qian is really worthy of being the first minister since the Ming Dynasty, then Yingzong cannot be allowed to bear the charge of manslaughtering the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, which is not conducive to the prestige of the royal family.

It is precisely in this way that he gave the nickname "Su" according to the original history. Looks respectful and respectfully says "Su", in the country in times of trouble it is said "sorrow", and in times of trouble in the country it is said "sorrow".

Now that Yu Qian's nickname has been finalized, he has also allowed Zhu Ji's resignation, and this matter has come to an end.

Zhu Youzhi knew that he couldn't ask too much of Wang Yue, after all, the muddy water in the capital was too muddy, and even he didn't know how many rats were hidden.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yu, deputy Qianhu of the Investigation and Inspection Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wang Shouren, the supervisor of Guozi, have just had an incident outside the palace, I don't know what to do?" Liu Jin walked over and reported cautiously.
