Chapter 56 Cao Zhengchun: A slave is always a slave
Above the court,
In the main hall,
The young man in the dragon robe was sitting on a high seat, quietly looking at the fold that Tobe Shangshu had just handed over, and saw that the last page frowned slightly,
I heard about the things that Luo Congee did earlier, and the haze brought by it was also dispelled a lot.
"In this way, the results of the food and military salaries raised recently are still extremely good, and you are a good secretary of the household department......
"Be rewarded!"
Zhu Ming finally glanced at the number on the fold, and then closed it with peace of mind, after all, in the current Dali Imperial Court, the Northern Expedition is the top priority.
"Old minister, thank Your Majesty first!"
"However, I don't dare to take this trick!"
Hubu Shangshu walked out of the ranks and thanked him first, and then pointed to a person not far behind him and said:
"The matter of raising rice and military salaries still relied on Xie Shilang's hard work during these days, which made all the families in the state and county generously contribute money and food, so that they were able to make up more than half of the army's needs in a short period of time."
"Hmm."
"There's also a lau Xie squire."
Zhu Ming looked at Xie Wenyuan in the ranks on the left and nodded with satisfaction, he naturally knew very well the relationship between him and Xie Wenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was originally the brother of a fellow mother.
But why did his brother commit such a big crime, and he never mentioned that he wanted to punish this person, the reason is also very simple, since he entered the court as an official, he has never been in contact with Xie Wenyuan, even the festival is also a closed door, and it is even more clear above the court, and there is absolutely no possibility of participation.
Another reason is his identity, most of the people who are officials are from the family, which has long been tacitly understood, and he also needs to rely on their identities to complete some things, such as the Northern Expedition this time.
If there are no families to take the lead in digging out the silver, how can those powerful squires be reluctant, and the strong squires are reluctant, not to mention the people at the bottom, and in the end, they will inevitably have to forcibly increase taxes and forced labor.
The court has not been very stable recently,
I don't want to do this unless I have to.
"Minister, panic!"
"I definitely don't deserve such praise from Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Xie Wenwen walked out of the ranks and knelt down in the tunnel.
"Well, you do your best."
"After this is done."
"I, there will be a reward!"
Zhu Ming waved his sleeves.
"But there is still a performance?"
Zhu Ming looked at the ministers and asked in a deep voice, after the Northern Expedition process was completed, the incident that Luo Congee did yesterday naturally lingered in his heart.
It's not a big deal,
Strangely, no one mentioned it.
"There is no play!"
"There is no play!"
Wherever Zhu Ming's gaze passed,
All ministries and institutes have responded in this way.
Zhu Ming's expression turned cold inexplicably when he heard this, last night's incident caused a lot of uproar in the Shangjing City, even the palace could see the fires burning all over the city, and it was absolutely impossible for them not to know about it.
"Princess, is there something missing?"
The man on the dragon chair asked with a cold face when he saw this.
The voice fell,
Everyone looked at each other,
"Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, I think it's gone."
Jiang Ziming, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was originally responsible for the discipline of picketing officials, and naturally walked out of the ranks after hearing the sound, but he pretended to be contemplative, and after recalling it for a long time, he responded solemnly.
"Oh, really?"
Zhu Ming was inexplicably annoyed in his heart,
You must know that the Yongle Street incident exploded in the court a few days ago, but no one mentioned yesterday's incident, you know, this is still the case when the person was not on the spot.
"That's it......"
Zhu Ming frowned and waved his hand impatiently.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
Seeing this, the eunuch also said in his throat,
But the voice fell,
None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty spoke out again,
Luo Congee didn't say a word about what he did last night,
Li Zhijie, who was in the front row on the left, glanced at the imperial history surnamed Jiang, and suddenly understood that they were secretly stumbling on the kid surnamed Luo, and they were also looking for unhappiness in His Majesty's heart and causing estrangement.
When the eunuch had finished reading,
Zhu Ming was tense for a long time, but where were these old ministers, with thick skin and black belly, who pretended not to know for half an hour.
"That's it, let's retreat!"
Zhu Ming finally got up impatiently and left, but when he left, he glanced at Li Zhijie who was huddled in the crowd, and the meaning was self-evident.
In the Imperial Study,
"Gong Li, what do you think of today's events?"
Zhu Ming turned his back to Li Zhijie and asked.
"According to the old minister, the Northern Expedition is worry-free."
Li Zhijie groaned.
"Gong Li, why do you have to pretend to be confused and understand?"
Zhu Ming turned around and looked directly at the latter.
Looking at the old face, Zhu Ming was faintly disappointed in his heart, why he was always unwilling to give up the fast knife of Jinyiwei, instead of completely relying on this desperate minister who was loyal to the imperial power, he didn't care about this.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, protect oneself wisely,
That's the biggest problem with people like them!
"Your Majesty, I ...... old minister"
Li Zhijie hesitated,
"Say, you know what I'm asking!"
Zhu Ming directly stabbed the skylight road,
Don't give him the slightest chance to shirk.
"In this way, the old minister will speak bluntly!"
Li Zhijie took a deep breath and said.
"According to the old minister, since the head of the tiger is too sharp, Your Majesty might as well tie it with an iron chain with his own hands, and feed it with delicious food and drink on weekdays, so that it is physically strong and sharp, with sharp teeth and claws, but it can't break free from the chain, indiscriminately hurt people, and when His Majesty needs it, let it go out to eat people......"
"In this way,"
"It doesn't affect the sharp teeth and claws of his brocade guard,"
"There's also a way to clamp it."
"I don't know Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Li Zhijie asked.
"Is there a specific charter?"
Zhu Ming was a little moved when he heard this.
"Throughout the ages, whether it is the Inspectorate, the Jinyi Guard, or other yamen who have reached the heavens, there have been many overlaps, nothing more than that, they are all rumors and deeds, and the biggest difference is nothing more than the difference between power and responsibility."
"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty set up a new Yamen, and also only obey Your Majesty's orders, and let it restrain the growing Jinyi pro-army?"
Li Zhijie thought for a moment and said in detail, these words should not have been said by his own courtier, but he really couldn't stand the rampant appearance of the Luo family's boy.
"The new Detective Yamen?"
Zhu Ming pondered for a long time when he heard this,
There was no affirmative answer for a long time.
"This matter will be discussed in the future......"
"I have my own considerations."
Half an hour later,
Zhu Ming finally waved his hand, after all, the manpower and financial resources involved in opening a new yamen were too great.
Of course, the most important point is, who will be the leader of this newly established investigation yamen?
If the employment is improper,
The colorful tiger has no constraints to say,
Instead, a jackal was added,
"Then, the old minister retired ......"
Li Zhijie looked at Zhu Ming's obviously somewhat moved look, and he didn't persuade him too much, knowing his thoughts, he was already cautious, if he pressed too hard, it would be self-defeating.
……
"New Detective Yamen ......"
"New Yamen ......"
After Li Zhijie left,
Zhu Ming sat alone in the imperial study and said to himself.
Before I knew it, the sky was also dark,
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner......"
"Look ......"
At this time,
Father-in-law Cao, who was holding a dust, shouted outside the door,
"Well, let's pass the meal."
"There are too many trivial matters lately, you let them pick some and send them to this imperial study, I still have to deal with political affairs."
Zhu Ming waved his hand and said,
And didn't have a bit of an appetite.
"Your Majesty, the porridge is here."
"The old slave sees that His Majesty has been a little angry recently."
"I specially asked the imperial dining room to make porridge for you."
After a while, Gonggong Cao brought in a bowl of white porridge, then put it aside, took a pair of chopsticks again, divided it first, ate a bite, waited for a long time, and then lightly put it on the case in front of Zhu Ming.
"Tell me who is the most loyal to me in this Manchu Dynasty?"
Zhu Ming looked at Gonggong Cao, who was busy with his body,
The ghost asked the gods.
"Oops, hey......"
"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to speak falsely!"
Hearing this, Gonggong Cao knelt down in fear and fell to the ground.
"I told you to say it, just say it."
"The slave only cares about Your Majesty's body, thinking about what Your Majesty will eat today and what to drink tomorrow, and the slave will not know anything about the government......"
Gonggong Cao explained with a flustered expression.
"You dog minion, you're really boring......"
When Zhu Ming heard this, he kicked Gonggong Cao angrily and scolded.
"Your Majesty, a slave will always be a slave, because in the head of a minion, he only thinks about what a slave should do......"
Gonggong Cao said very seriously.
"Oh?"
"What's the use of me asking for your dog minion's head?"
Zhu Ming scolded with a smile,
But for some reason,
After hearing these words, I was inexplicably happy.
