Chapter 0028 Cast a wide net and catch more fish
When looking at a person with a filter, there will always be a deviation, whether it is behavior or character.
Mao Xiang is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and his professional needs must wear colored glasses, and now when he goes to see Zhao Mian, he always feels that there is a deep meaning in his behavior.
It is difficult to read the records in a single book of impermanence, but when all the records of the six years are put together and the repeated behaviors are extracted, Mao Xiang is keenly aware that these seemingly normal behaviors hide impure purposes.
"In April of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian relieved six people and sent rice and grain."
"In July of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian relieved four people and sent rice and grain."
"In December of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian relieved eight people, sent rice, food and clothing."
“……”
The records in the book of impermanence do not have any emotional color, they are just a record of Zhao Mian's behavior.
These records of Zhao Mian's relief of the people were extracted from the book of impermanence by many brocade guards within two hours before they were presented to Mao Xiang for inspection.
In other words, because of the relatively long time span, these behaviors are hidden in the book of impermanence, and there is no problem at all with ordinary behaviors.
Even, this can be said to be evidence that Zhao Mian is full of enthusiasm and care for the people.
Even if the emperor knew about it, he would only praise Zhao Mian as a good official, and he would never think of other aspects.
The long time span, coupled with the deeds of the government and the people enjoying together, no matter who comes, there is nothing wrong with it.
When the person who records it is accustomed to it, and when the person who examines it is familiar with it, even if there is anything hidden in it, it will not be known.
However, Mao Xiang is wearing colored glasses at the moment, and these deeds, which can be called beautiful talks, are full of awkwardness in his opinion.
Yingtian is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty and the area with the highest concentration of wealthy families in the world.
Here, Zhao Mian was able to find so many poor people in need of help, which was really well-intentioned.
Mao Xiang carefully checked these records, from April of the 22nd year of Hongwu to December of the 24th year of Hongwu, a total of two years, Zhao Mian would help a group of poor families every few months.
Due to problems with the records, the relief did not specify who was specifically targeted, which made Mao a little dissatisfied.
If it is changed to Jiang Xuan's record, it must be understood in detail that these spies are still much worse, and they are suspected of being lazy and slippery.
At this moment, it is useless to pursue this matter, these things have been a long time ago, and Jin Yiwei has been transferred frequently, and it is even more difficult to investigate.
But fortunately, there was already a preliminary direction, and the general location of the relief had been figured out, Mao Xiang thought about it carefully, and decided to cast a wide net and fish more, and disperse the Jinyi Wei spies to investigate in detail.
Thinking of this, Mao Xiang immediately sent someone to find out, especially those who seemed to be poor, but in fact they were hungry.
In this world, there are many mediocre and laypeople, this yellow and white thing is intoxicating, and it is really difficult to hold back after getting it.
As the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Zhao Mian's "good deeds" may hide the conversion between thrift and luxury.
Jin Yiwei quickly took action, showing the ability to act beyond cognition, like a fine net, and began to focus on screening the people Zhao Mian helped.
And Zhu Di and Zhan Hui, after leaving the Wuying Palace, did not immediately go to the Wenhua Hall to get people, but discussed the specific plan of action under the corridor.
Zhu Di, who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, did not feel any nervousness, only felt a little excited, as if he had returned to the time when he had pursued the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Soldiers, treacherous ways. Zhu Di used it in the court, and he felt that it was very suitable, Zhao Mian, as a secretary of the ministry, was undoubtedly an old fox, and it was not beautiful to arrest people directly.
Just relying on the remarks of his wife Liu, he was punished, and if Zhao Mian resisted everything, he would be able to kill him at most, which did not meet Zhu Di's inner expectations.
He thought about uprooting the entire chain of interests, completely destroying a series of civilian officials with Zhao Mian as a pawn, so as to stabilize his position even more.
This was not his sudden thought, Zhu Di was clear-minded, and when discussing matters, he could see who was fishing and paddling.
For Zhu Di, since it is useless to him, then he simply does not do anything, or he must do it.
Such a simple idea obviously comes from his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who is extremely ruthless, and anyone who can't be used by me can be killed.
Zhan Hui had a different view on this, although he was not worried that this matter would affect him, but he also did not want to see the civil officials being killed too much, otherwise the imbalance of power above the court would not be beneficial to civil officials like him.
Therefore, he still carefully persuaded: "Your Highness, find out the culprit, just kill him, and it is not appropriate to implicate the public." ”
Zhu Di sneered and said: "I don't agree with Lord Zhan's words, this kind of huge corruption should be killed, and those who buy officials are even more so." ”
He paused for a moment and continued: "The person who buys the official position has spent such a large price to obtain an official and a half position, and if he wants to return to his capital, he must scrape the fat and ointment of the people, so I don't know how many people will suffer because of this, and if they can't be cut off completely, they will definitely harm the people." ”
Zhan Hui knew that this was also a lord who advocated heavy punishment, and it was difficult to persuade him, so he had to say: "What His Royal Highness said is reasonable, and the embezzler should be severely punished, such as Zhao Mian, the culprit should be killed to set an example." Weichen thought that if it was a person who committed a minor crime, exile was sufficient, and there was no need to kill him. ”
If the person in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang, then Zhan Hui would definitely not say a word, and he would never have made this suggestion.
But now it is the crown prince Zhu Di, and Zhan Hui has been with him for a while, and he can be regarded as touching some veins.
As the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each has its own differences, Zhan Hui knows that although the prince is like His Majesty, there are still many differences.
Perhaps Zhu Di has not experienced as much suffering as Zhu Yuanzhang, he is not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who is full of hatred and distrust of officials by nature.
Zhan Hui is sure that Zhu Di should have a little softness, and his means will not be as fierce as His Majesty's, and even Zhu Di can clearly understand how to choose and employ people.
This point can indeed be proved by the original history that in the selection of civil officials, the auxiliary ministers arranged by Zhu Di are indeed more clever than the auxiliary ministers arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because of this, Zhan Hui dared to make some suggestions euphemistically, he was really worried that Zhu Di would kill the red eye and completely ruin Wenchen's foundation.
In this regard, Zhu Di just said: "Everything will be handled according to the "Da Ming Law"! ”
Hearing this, Zhan Hui didn't feel much relaxed, and even had a bit of bitterness in his mouth, which was familiar, and His Majesty said something similar when he formulated the "Da Ming Law".
It's just that after the red eye is really killed, "Da Ming Law" has become a pile of waste paper, and even all kinds of torture that do not exist in "Da Ming Law" have come into being.
He was thinking about what kind of way to admonish, when he saw a eunuch running over in a hurry, coming to Zhu Di's side, first saluting, and then whispering a few words in his ear.
The next moment, Zhan Hui saw Zhu Di's expression and immediately became happy, and said: "Lord Zhan, you go to the Wenhua Hall first, and the palace will go to see someone first!" ”
The voice landed, and before Zhan Hui could speak, he saw Zhu Di walking out quickly.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised, who had such a big face to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so happy?
