23. Ming law and government

In short, in a state of Xiao Zi'an's great resistance, he was still carried to the camp in Kyoto by Jiang Huaice, and went through a tragic experience, and finally came to a conclusion, first of all, don't provoke Jiang Huaice, and secondly, don't provoke the jealous Jiang Huaice!!

After torturing Xiao Zi'an, Jiang Huaize felt that the anger in his heart was smoother, but when he saw Shen Fu in the morning on the second day, his footsteps turned and went towards him, Shen Fu looked at Jiang Huaize who was walking towards him, and his steps were still a little uncontrollable and retreated.

"Shen Langzhong."

The man's voice was cold, the lion complement on the crimson court uniform highlighted his majesty, and Jiang Huaice's long-term experience in the battlefield was a little frightening for a while, and Shen Fu bowed to him: "Marquis Changping." ”

"I heard that something good is coming in Shen Langzhong's family?"

Jiang Huaice lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, Shen Fu frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about: "What do you say about Master Hou?" ”

The doubts on his face didn't seem to be fake, Jiang Huaice's only remaining qi was all smoothed out, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's Ben Hou who listened." ”

After that, the man stood back to his place, but Shen Fu and the others didn't know why, this Changping Hou came over just to say something inexplicable?

Without waiting for Shen Fu to continue thinking, he listened to the ceremonial officials outside singing until His Majesty arrived, and everyone knelt down to salute, and Emperor Yongdi came and sat on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "You Aiqing don't have to be polite. ”

Only then did everyone get up, and then Emperor Yongdi opened his mouth and continued: "Marquis Changping, can there be progress in the corruption case of the political envoy of Guangping? ”

Jiang Huaice stepped forward and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, there has been no progress for the time being. ”

Emperor Yong sneered: "I read the book of Shang Jun yesterday, there is an article that makes me puzzled, all of you Aiqing are from famous families, and you have read the classics of Confucianism, why don't you explain this book of Shang Jun to me, how about it?" ”

He stood up, and said slowly in a voice that was not in a hurry: "If the husband abolishes the law and is good at private discussion, then the traitorous ministers will have the power to make a covenant, and the officials of the rank will be hidden and the fishermen will be hidden." As the proverb goes: "The beetle (du) is numerous, and the wood is analyzed, and the gap is large and the wall is broken." Therefore the ministers are fighting for their own interests and do not care about their people, and they will be separated from the top. Those who are separated from the top are also the "gaps" of the country. The officials of the rank and rank are hidden to the fishermen, and the "beetles" of the people are also. Therefore, there are "gaps" and "beetles" and those who do not die, and they are rare in the world. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you help me with any doubts?"

Listening to Emperor Yong's sudden raised voice, all the ministers knelt down one after another, even if they knew what it meant, they didn't dare to say it, for fear of touching the mold.

"What? No one answered? Okay, then I said, Shang Junyan, the state has three elements, one is the law, the second is credit, and the third is the right, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been cautious and have never dared to relax a point, and I have never dared to compare myself with Yao Shun, the Yellow Emperor and other saints. ”

"I have a law, rectify corrupt officials, and want to create a prosperous era for Dayong, and how do you repay me now, do you want me, abolish the law, and listen to private opinions, what, you don't want to be loyal ministers, but want to be beetles, do you want to be a gap?"

After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he walked down step by step, looking at the courtiers who were kneeling all over the ground, he laughed angrily: "Why, aren't they usually quite able to speak?" Why don't you keep silent now, do you think that if you push Yang Mingwang to be a shield, I can take this matter lightly? ”

"Tell you, don't be delusional, you'd better pray that the amount of money you are greedy for is not much, otherwise you will be the one who will be beheaded at noon tomorrow!"

After these words, it can be seen how angry Emperor Yong is, the ministers are terrified in their mouths, and they see Emperor Yongdi withdraw from the Taihe Palace.

How can Emperor Yong not be annoyed, then Yang Mingwang is in office, he is simply a fish and a common man, he has done all kinds of evil things, and among the embezzled silver, there is even the disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court last year.

Jiang Huaize stood up and walked out of the Taihe Palace, and Guo Lun on the side stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

"It's running very fast, so Chen Xing keeps an eye on it."

A few days ago, they found out the whereabouts of a sum of Yang Mingwang's stolen money, in the hands of his housekeeper, coincidentally, on the day they received the letter, the housekeeper seemed to have received a letter, and he ran fast.

In this way, Jiang Huaize still has something he doesn't understand, it is clear that someone in the court sent him a letter, and this person is really covering the sky with his hands and eyes, so Jiang Huaize fortunately stopped chasing him, and boiled the frog in warm water, and naturally he could hook out that person.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Qinzheng Palace."

Cao Yongjing, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yong, came up and saluted Jiang Huaice, Jiang Huaice bowed his head and signaled to follow him to the Qinzheng Palace, and when he arrived, Qi Chengze was playing chess with Emperor Yong inside.

"Minghuai is here? Have a seat. ”

Gonggong Cao respectfully stepped forward to bring him a chair, Jiang Huaice sat down, and watched the game between Emperor Yongdi and Qi Chengze, Qi Chengze's chess skills naturally needless to say, he learned from the holy hand, and it was naturally exquisite, Emperor Yongdi watched his chess pieces being strangled, touched his beard and smiled: "Chengguang's chess, I am ashamed of myself." ”

"Father-Emperor agreed."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and Emperor Yongdi turned around, leaned on the side and said to the two: "Over the years, I have tried my best to give you a prosperous Dayong, but unfortunately, people are old and useless, but let the old brothers in the past calculate." ”

There was a bit of loneliness in his eyes, Emperor Yong came from the fight between his five sons, and this throne was not easy to come by, not to mention the change of imperial power experienced in the middle, how many people died and how much blood was shed.

As everyone knows, Emperor Yong is stepping on the blood of his brothers step by step to the top, he has a thunderous wrist, and he is better at imperial power, it is rare that he is a Ming Jun and wants to really create a prosperous era belonging to Dayong.

But those brothers who were born and died with him are now dissatisfied, and they are not willing to lose their rights and everything they have, so these old fellows began to make trouble for him.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister will definitely find out the truth."

Jiang Huaice said calmly, and Emperor Yong nodded slightly: "I am naturally relieved of you, then please Minghuai, no matter what you find, you can't hide it." ”

After saying this, he turned his head and said, "Listen to Chengguang, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Huaize looked at Qi Chengze, only to see Qi Chengze, touching his chin and feeling a little embarrassed: "It's not that you have a lot of excitement that day, even the queen mother knows it." ”

He can't be blamed for that, he didn't say anything about it.

Jiang Huaize was helpless: "The girl is timid, and when the time is right, she will naturally bring her to see her aunt and Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yong looked at him with a satisfied smile: "You are also not a small one, if you fancy it, you will work hard, and strive to let your aunt be able to handle the marriage for you this year, she is always nagging in my ear, my ear, I am almost hearing the cocoon." ”。

He looked miserable, for Minghuai's marriage, he, the queen, was heartbroken.
