Chapter 42: Duty
[There is my opinion on the Xue family in the comment area, welcome to discuss!] 】
"Thirteenth brother, since we are going to deal with the officials of Jinling Province, how should we deal with it?"
After sighing, Zhu Jingyuan, who had no choice at all, was a little embarrassed to ask this question.
This is the consequence of being brainwashed by the virtuous people around me since I was a child...... Zhu Jinghong secretly sighed.
"Fourth brother, now the public opinion in the Heavenly Mansion is turbulent, do you know?"
"I know some because of this case, the government has exploited it too much, and the people are miserable...... Hence the righteous indignation! Zhu Jingyuan looked compassionate.
Maybe when he became the emperor, he would also get the nickname of "benevolence" after his death...... Looking at Zhu Jingyuan's compassion from the heart, Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
Putting aside the messy thoughts, Zhu Jinghong said: "The people are miserable, and it is the time to make decisions for the people!" ”
"So the fourth brother ...... What else are you afraid of? ”
In Zhu Jinghong's view, Xue Pan's public opinion can be used, and it is a very good banner.
Therefore, when necessary, you can also take advantage of the situation to make the people make greater movements, and take advantage of the situation to fight against the Jinling magistrates.
"This ......"
Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan hadn't understood yet, Zhu Jinghong could only continue: "Fourth brother, it is natural and righteous to be the master for the people...... Everything you do is right! ”
After pondering for a while, Zhu Jingyuan said very solemnly: "You can use extraordinary means, but I am afraid that the government and the opposition will not stop criticizing!" ”
This is very correct and critical, in the final analysis, only officials have the right to speak, if the government and the opposition condemn him as the prince together, he will lose the hearts of the people, and his position will really be finished.
After all these years as the prince, I still have this knowledge of Zhu Jingyuan.
"We are not afraid to spread the banner of asking for the people's lives, but we can't do it...... The fourth brother will put the fault on me when the time comes! ”
Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan was about to speak, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Fourth brother...... No matter what the government and the opposition say, as long as the matter of the Japanese is settled, my father will not have an opinion on you! ”
In other words, as long as the emperor is satisfied, no matter how much others say, it will be.
What's more, things are not as extreme as Zhu Jingyuan imagined, and he, the prince, still has many supporters in the government and the opposition.
Zhu Jinghong said with a serious expression: "What we have to do now is to send people to deliver news among the people and firmly grasp the dominance of public opinion!" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Jingyuan didn't seem to understand, so in order not to look like a fool, he didn't ask any more.
…………
Besides, He Gu Jin replied to the judge, Zheng Xianlin was already waiting for him in the yamen, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked how the situation was.
"You're not very busy, how can you have the leisure to come and ask this?"
"You can always squeeze in some time!" Zheng Xianlin laughed dryly.
"Tell me quickly, what did the Thirteenth Master say?"
Sitting back on the chair, He Gujin said with a serious expression: "The Thirteenth Master said ......"
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing He Gujin's embarrassed face, Zheng Xianlin couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?" ”
"Alas...... The Thirteenth Master asked us to find a way, no matter what means are used, the case will be judged! ”
Seeing that Zheng Xianlin was thinking, He Gujin directly singled out and said: "It is torture to extract confessions, and torture is a confession ......."
When he lamented Zhu Jinghong's unscrupulous means, Zheng Xianlin sighed: "This is because we haven't done enough!" ”
"Since you have embarked on this path, what else can you do, do it......"
His eyes swept to Zheng Xianlin, and He Gu Jin said in a deep voice: "If you really want to do this, the news will definitely not be covered, and when the time comes, the spit will come like a flood, and the old Zheng Ling will help me!" ”
"How many times do you want me to say, we are grasshoppers on a rope, why can't you trust me!"
In the end, Zheng Xianlin was already a little angry, and after getting up, he stared at He Gujin with burning eyes.
"That's the best!"
The two discussed it for a while, and then went their separate ways.
He Gujin implemented it quickly, but after some coercion and lure, the people who were arrested from Ying Tianfu were recruited.
But the problem is that the prisoner's confession is not strong enough, and he needs stronger evidence.
So he ordered to go to Yingtianfu to arrest him, intending to make the case an iron case in one fell swoop.
At this point, I can't care about any rules and regulations, and it is important to do a good job and keep the black yarn hat.
…………
With the arrival of the commissioner according to the judge, Ying Tianfu was made a fuss.
More than a dozen officials were taken away, which made the people watching the excitement at the yamen addicted.
There is no doubt that this will be the talk of the town when they return home, and they will be able to show off in front of their neighbors again.
Jia Yucun, who was sitting in the palace, was not calm at the moment, and even a little restless.
He has just filled the vacancy for less than a month, and there is such a case under his rule, and the situation will inevitably be stabbed in the imperial court.
stirred up the wind and waves, and his black gauze hat might be blown off.
Thinking of this, Jia Yucun was even more restless, and after thinking about it, he immediately put pen to paper, and wanted to inform Rongguo Mansion of the situation in Jinling, hoping that they would mediate more between the DPRK and China.
After hurriedly writing the letter and sealing it, Jia Yucun summoned his relatives and asked him to leave for Shendu immediately.
After doing these things, Jia Yucun cleaned up again, planning to meet his great benefactor.
asked people to prepare a sedan chair, and Jia Yucun rushed to the Yamen of the Imperial History of Salt Patrol.
There are more than a dozen imperial histories in Jinling Province, only the imperial history of the patrol salt has a separate yamen office, and the rest are all under the imperial history yamen of the patrol capital.
There are many yamen in Yingtianfu City, and they are basically gathered in the north.
The government and the salt patrol imperial history yamen are not far apart, and it takes only 20 minutes to arrive by sedan chair.
Today, Lin Ruhai is in poor health, and he usually does not see outsiders unless necessary, and he made an exception when he learned that Jia Yucun was visiting.
Jia Yucun waited in the living room for a few minutes, and Lin Ruhai, who had finished changing clothes, appeared.
"Brother Lin, have you heard of what happened in the city recently?" Jia Yucun asked softly, looking extra cautious.
Lin Ruhai is deeply trusted by the emperor, and has been promoted to the fourth grade, and he is one of the most important figures on the ground in Jinling, how can Jia Yucun not treat him respectfully.
Coughing twice, Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup and said, "I've heard some, it's eventful!" ”
Leaning over, Jia Yucun asked, "Brother Lin, what is your opinion on this?" ”
"Alas...... The state affairs are difficult, and the whole of Jinling should be working together, but now such a thing has happened, I am afraid that I will live up to the expectations of the saint! ”
Seeing Lin Ruhai mention the emperor, how dare Jia Yucun not treat him solemnly, so he continued to ask: "Please also ask Brother Lin to solve my doubts!" ”
didn't call for an answer, I saw Lin Ruhai put down the teacup slowly, and then stroked his beard and said: "Now that the state affairs are difficult, the court has to use silver inside and out, and the saint hopes that the matter of Jinling will be solved by itself......"
"But now the situation is what things look like, once the matter of Jinling is eroded...... Who do you say will suffer? ”
Jia Yucun frowned and replied, "I'm only afraid of the prince's ......"
Lin Ruhai asked rhetorically: "The crown prince is the eldest son of the Holy Lord, but who are the officials in Jinling?" ”
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor has the custom of killing his subordinates, and the higher the merit, the more obvious it is.
Zhu Xianming compared himself to Tang Taizong, and naturally regarded officials as cattle and horses, and when they were useless, they were deposed, and they were not merciless when they were killed.
The crown prince is the son of the emperor, but the officials are not, the defeat of the prince in Jinling is very miserable, but the troublemakers among them will only be worse.
"So Brother Lin means that we are going to help the prince with his errand?" Jia Yucun asked intently.
"It is duty to be loyal to your ministers!" Looking at Jia Yucun, Lin Ruhai's eyes were like torches.
