Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 154 Diligence
Yu Xin and An Tong are ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ren Hengtai is currently in charge of the Ministry of Rites.Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and called Shen Min from the Ministry of War. He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was responsible for the hereditary rule of the guards and the army's supplementary personnel in the early Ming Dynasty.

Among the six books, Zhu Xiongying called four people. Although Ren Hengtai and Shen Mo were not legitimate books, what they were doing now was what a book should do.

Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Li Jinglong, Geng Bingwen, Cao Zhen and other princes and marquises were also called to Wenhua Hall by Zhu Xiongying.

The five military governors of the Ming Dynasty had great power. Each governor was not only responsible for managing the training and production of the guards, but also participated in the central military decision-making of the Ming Dynasty.In Lao Zhu's edict, the Ministry of War has no right to intervene in the affairs of the five armies.

But Zhu Xiongying didn't need to worry about such things, and the left and right governors of the five armies' governor's mansion would not be unaware.Nobles like them naturally know who they should be loyal to, and naturally they also know who the current noble group should be like.

Although it cannot be said that Zhu Xiongying has received the support of all the Xungui Group, the overwhelming majority of the Xungui Group will naturally support Zhu Xiongying.The most powerful forces in the Xungui Group also have a constant relationship with Zhu Xiongying.

An Tong was a little impassioned at this time, counting some appalling punishments in the prison.Even Zhu Xiongying couldn't help frowning, and summoned the Minister of Dali Temple and the left and right censors of the Inspectorate.

Looking at Xu Yungong, Zhu Xiongying said, "Wei Guogong, I order you to go to the trial. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate will conduct a joint trial to strictly investigate the case of Jin Yiwei's accusation in recent years, and strictly investigate the matter of Jin Yiwei's punishment."

Zhu Xiongying seemed to be really angry. This was to give Jin Yiwei some color, and even completely dismantle Jin Yiwei.

Just when the trial of the three divisions was about to take place, the emperor issued an imperial decree, and King Ning Zhu Quan also came to hear the trial.It seems that it's not just the emperor's grandson who is dissatisfied with Jinyiwei's arrogance, but His Majesty the emperor is also starting to re-examine Jinyiwei at this time.

After these people left, Zhu Xiongying immediately summoned Song Zhong, who could be regarded as Zhu Xiongying's spokesperson in Jinyiwei.

Song Zhong, who was sweating profusely, prostrated himself on the ground. He knew that Jin Yiwei was on the verge of life and death, and he also knew that his official career might be ruined at any time.What may be ruined is not only the official career, but also his own life.

Zhu Xiongying didn't play tricks, and said directly, "Do you understand the principle of cutting off your wings and tail to survive?"

Song Zhong was ecstatic in his heart, the emperor's grandson could say that he had spared him, or let him take some people away.

Zhu Xiongying continued to speak at this time, "Jin Yiwei has indeed acted perverted and lawless these years, remember how I explained to you a few years ago?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the general has never intervened in the case these years." Song Zhong quickly replied, and this time he was also showing his loyalty, "The general has not fought for power with the command history these years, but just watched from the sidelines."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and said with a smile, "Oh? If you're just watching, why should I let you go, just put a mud-bodied Bodhisattva over there."

Song Zhong started to break out in a cold sweat all of a sudden, mainly because his answer just now obviously made the emperor's grandson dissatisfied.Originally, the current situation was quite embarrassing, but at this time, if you pretend to be smart, not to mention the benefits of not being good, you may even be alienated and disgusted by the emperor's grandson.

This is not possible, Song Zhong is still trying to struggle, "Returning to your highness, the last general has been screened over the years. There are indeed some illegal activities among Jin Yiwei, and there are also some rebellious people, but most of them are still loyal to the king." Your good minister."

"Jin Yiwei, this is the emperor's own army." Zhu Xiongying said to Song Zhong, "The first thing to do is loyalty, and then talk about other things!"

It’s no wonder that Zhu Xiongying said this, mainly because Jinyiwei is a special institution. If there is some infidelity, it will be a huge hidden danger to Daming and the emperor, and it is unacceptable. .

Glancing at Song Zhong, Zhu Xiongying continued, "You heinous person, draw up a list. If you are a loyal and capable person, give me a list too."

Jin Yiwei definitely needs to be rectified, but Zhu Xiongying still needs to keep some kindling, and he will need to make great use of Jin Yiwei in the future, so naturally it is impossible to kill at this time, he needs some special talents.

Song Zhong knew that he had no choice now, and he seemed to be betraying some of his colleagues.Of course, looking at it from another angle, that is, he now has a chance to save his colleagues, after all, Jin Yiwei looks a bit precarious now.

There is no choice, this is how Song Zhong is treated now.However, as a pro-military, he really has no right to choose. His status and rights are all given by his superiors. He only needs to play the role of running dog and minion well.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying said, "Find a reliable person, if you have insight, give it to Wang Chengen."

Regarding this point, Song Zhong had no opinion at all.When he was in Beiping, he knew that the emperor's grandson had a group of people who were independent of Jinyiwei, the so-called East Factory, and acted almost the same as Jinyiwei.

And now it is also obvious that the emperor's grandson is planning to send some people to Dongchang when he is suppressing Jin Yiwei.The so-called Jinyiwei may not be as prestigious as before, but it does not mean that the surveillance of the court and the officials has been reduced.

A Jin Yiwei fell down, Dongchang might stand up at this time.What's more, according to the emperor's grandson's wishes, maybe this time Jin Yiwei is just a little injured, it may not be broken, and Jin Yiwei may soon appear majestically in the court again.

Maybe now some people will feel that they will relax in the future, and there will not be so much high pressure.But as someone close to the emperor's grandson, Song Zhong knew that those people definitely thought too much.

The emperor's grandson is not so easy to get along with. Never think that the emperor's grandson is a kind-hearted person, and never underestimate the emperor's determination.He made a decision, and ordinary people can't change their minds, even if there is a lot of resistance in the court, it doesn't matter.

Because the emperor's grandson has the same temperament as His Majesty the emperor, when encountering difficulties and resistance, they will only resolve those resistance instead of giving in.

And once that time comes, maybe it will be a bloodbath in the court.Those who wanted to stop at that time would definitely be swept out of the game by means of thunder and the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The rectification of Jin Yiwei is imperative, and some people were worried that Jin Yiwei might have the last madness.In addition to the 'rebellion', some people also worried that Jin Yiwei would have some accusations, frame-ups, etc., but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Mao Xiang "feared crimes and obeyed the law", Jiang Yu was demoted to be in charge of punishing thousands of households, and what was even more ridiculous was that he was reduced to the subordinate of Donggong Wang Chengen.

Many people probably did not think of these things before. They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Grandson would be so ruthless that they would wipe out all the senior officials of the Jinyiwei, which even meant some humiliation.

But there are also many people who think that such a thing is really normal. The current emperor even humiliates the children of Confucianism, not to mention a domestic slave like Jin Yiwei. But one thing, not worth the fuss.

Old Zhu was undoubtedly angry, because news came from various sources that Jin Yiwei was no longer the reliable sharp blade that he had been in the past.They also have many acts of illegally humiliating and ill-treating prisoners. The most important thing is that the current Jinyiwei has shown signs of corruption, and Emperor Zhu is no longer holding the knife.

In the final analysis, Jin Yiwei continued to weave accusations in order to ask for credit and rewards, and unscrupulously expanded the scope of involvement, creating countless unjust, false and wrong cases, and they often colluded with various forces to eradicate dissidents.

Old Zhu issued an order to burn Jinyiwei's torture tools, which also reduced the power of Jinyiwei by a large amount, and they were no longer qualified to torture prisoners.When Lao Zhu abolished the internal and external prisons from Jinyiwei's duties and handed them over to the judiciary, Jinyiwei was no longer the terrifying spy organization it was before.

For many people, this is a huge victory, because Jin Yiwei's status has dropped too much.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying thinks that this is just an illusion, and he is also very confident that Jin Yiwei, who has been dormant for a while, will bring more surprises, or panic, to many people.

It seems that Zhu Xiongying has gained some benefits, although the will is from the old Zhu.But many people know that the abolition and rectification of Jinyiwei this time was inspired and led by the emperor's grandson, which also made many civil and military officials and scholars sing praises to Zhu Xiongying.

This is probably a misunderstanding, but Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to correct it, just let those people continue to misunderstand. Such misunderstandings are indeed not harmful to Zhu Xiongying.

For Ren Hengtai and the others, at least they are at the top of the temple.This time, Jin Yiwei suffered a big loss, and it also improved their reputation a lot.

Really speaking, they are also working hard to climb to a higher position.What happened this time more or less proved his ability, which can be regarded as each taking what he needs.

Jin Yiwei's affairs could not be completely dealt with in a day or two, and many things still needed to be sorted out slowly.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to do everything himself in these matters. He doesn't need to do many things himself. As long as he grasps the general direction, this is enough for Zhu Xiongying.It is enough to make sure that some things are not out of his control.

In the final analysis, even if Zhu Xiongying could be regarded as diligent, there were too many things, and he obviously couldn't handle all the big and small things by himself.
