Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 527 Human Heart
As the Qianhu of the fifth rank of the Qianhu after Runing, Zhao Yi has the confidence.

Because he is also a native of Fengyang, his father defected when he followed Emperor Hongwu when he left Haozhou and planned a long-distance plan.It can be said that they were the earliest core team members of Emperor Hongwu, and they were the group of people that Emperor Hongwu trusted most.

Although Zhao Yi's father was not as capable as the so-called 'Huaixi 24 generals', he still had some credit.If it weren't for his death in battle in his early years, he might have been able to get a title.

As for Zhao Yi himself, naturally he inherited his father's career, even though he was only a mid-level officer, he also fought with the King of Zhongshan back then.The year before last, he followed Uncle Guo and Lord Zhongshan in the Northern Expedition, and made contributions after the bloody battle.

Zhao Yi also knew that the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince were patrolling the world, and they are now in Runing.He really wanted to get close, but there was no chance.

There are three major battalions of the Beijing Army in front of the Supreme Emperor, and there is even the Son of Heaven's pro-army, so there is no need for the guards in various places to undertake the core defense work.The only thing Zhao Yi and others can do is to stay at the outermost perimeter, which is also the treatment of middle and low-level officers.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry approached quickly, with bright armor and swords and guns like a forest, and directly surrounded the Thousand Households behind Runing.

When Zhao Yi and Runing's rear Qianhu soldiers were surprised and panicked, a group of teenagers appeared surrounded by a strong and burly young man.

Sitting on the tall horse, Fu Zhong announced loudly, "According to the order of the crown prince, the criminal Zhao Yisuo took him for questioning. The rest of you wait, lay down your weapons and wait for your punishment."

In fact, according to Fu Zhong's meaning, His Royal Highness's handling method is too simple and rude, which is not the best way.

But Fu Zhong also had self-knowledge, since the Supreme Emperor didn't have any opinions, since the Supreme Emperor had his back, then of course he obeyed His Highness the Crown Prince's decree, there was no need for him, the son-in-law, to say anything, it was enough to do things well.

Zhao Yi was a little apprehensive and uneasy, "Captain Consort, the general refuses to accept! What is the general guilty of?!"

Glancing at Zhao Yi, Fu Zhong said indifferently, "What's your crime? You know what you're guilty of! Your Highness the Crown Prince can do everything to you!"

Gently tugging on the reins, Fu Zhong didn't even bother to say anything to Zhao Yiduo.Don't say that this is just a small five-rank thousand households. Over the years, Fu Zhong has also seen that many princes in the Ming Dynasty were seized and imprisoned, their homes were ransacked and their clans were wiped out.

Therefore, a small thousand households is really nothing, and it has no weight at all.What's more, whether this person has committed a crime or not is naturally clear to many people, but it was just that someone covered him up in the past, or someone didn't dare to provoke Zhao Yi at all.

But the situation is different now. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so angry and wants to interrogate himself, this can explain a lot of problems. This Zhao Yi is now a prisoner, and there is no need to question it at all.

Zhao Yi, who used to be quite majestic, was kicked in the hollow of his knee just like that, and when he knelt uncontrollably, his hands were tied up by several teenagers.

Many guardsmen were curious or worried, but most of them seemed to be gloating, or making no secret of their hatred.

Little Zhu Haisheng is very patient, and he doesn't care about the uneasiness or dismissiveness of the magistrate of Runing Prefecture, Tong Zhi and others. Little Zhu really doesn't need to care about these things.

Because such an identity is really enough, he is the king, and the people below are ministers, everyone knows what kind of identity and what kind of gap they are, and they all know what they should do. something.

Shuangquan also had a serious expression at this time, and he did not flatter and please Xiaozhu in private. He is now the crown prince's eunuch, and he also represents the imperial power.

A small school in armor entered the government office, and reported politely, "His Royal Highness, Prince Consort, please see me."

Seeing little Zhu nodding, Shuangquan immediately raised his voice and dragged his voice, "Xuan."

Fu Zhong was also very aware of his identity, and knelt down on one knee to report, "His Royal Highness, I have ordered the arrest of criminal officials Zhao Yi and others. Now return to order, Zhao Yi and other criminal officials will be taken into custody."

Little Zhu nodded. Although the number of times that little Zhu appeared in the court was relatively limited, little Zhu knew a lot of things under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Zhao Yi was pushed into the lobby, and Zhao Yi, who was still somewhat dissatisfied, glanced at the prince sitting on the chair, and now he seemed to know what it means to be afraid, and now he seemed to know some of his past actions, as if to provoke got into huge trouble.

Little Zhu's voice was still clear and clear as a child's, "Officer Zhao Yi, since I'm from Fengyang and your father was a soldier under the emperor's account, I wanted to save you some dignity. It's just you If you don’t live up to your expectations, I will naturally not spare you.”

Zhao Yi wanted to say something else, but Xiao Zhu yelled loudly, "You are one of the thousands of households behind Ru Ning, and there should be 1120 people in the account! You are so brave, and you are short of three hundred!"

This is what many generals are used to doing.Because this is the fastest way to make money, don't say that this is an era of peace, even in times of war, some bold and reckless people will take risks for money.

Little Zhu continued, "Leaving aside the lack of pay, you have only been in office for less than a year. How dare you make the soldiers of the guard station slaves and let the soldiers cultivate your rewarding fields?!"

Zhao Yi, this is really inflated, and he probably got carried away once he gained power.

Not to mention empty pay, it is also a serious crime to occupy the fields of the army and private soldiers to cultivate them.What's more, Zhao Yi didn't make up for it from the military register when the guard died.Not to mention the increase in deserters, Zhao Yi's governance was not strict, so most of the soldiers harassed the people and officials, and some officers used this to embezzle and persecute the people.

Little Zhu didn't need to say anything at all, and dealt with it directly, "Zhao Yi, the verdict is decisive. The commander of the capital of Henan is mediocre, and he is demoted to the commander of the guard. He will go to Wuyuan for further training today!"

The commander of the capital of Henan Province wanted to cry but had no tears, and was downgraded from the second rank to the third rank.But he doesn't need to be too sad, because other commanders and commanders are basically the least demoted.

This is a lot of people, because there are also commanders of the capital and commanders of the guards above the Qianhusuo.

In the Ming Dynasty, from the capital to the prefectures and counties, guards and offices were established, and the outside was unified in the capital, and the inside was unified in the Dudufu of the Five Armies.The Wei and Suo belonged to the capital commanders and envoys of each province, and the capital commanders and envoys of each province were under the jurisdiction of the Central Five Armies Dudufu.All commanders and envoys have several guards under their jurisdiction, and guards have a certain number of thousands of households and hundreds of households under their jurisdiction.

That is to say, the Yunnan Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division is affiliated to the Central Right Army Governor's Mansion, and this is not just because Yunnan has the Mu family sitting in the town.The main reason is that Yunnan is too special, and the emperor must also control this force.

Little Zhu's handling was not at all sloppy, and it seemed that he had no intention of showing mercy at all, because he was the successor to the empire taught by Old Zhu and Xiao Zhu.For some groups, little Zhu will not have too much kindness.

Zhao Yi panicked, and all he could do was beg for mercy, "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, the last general's father was a soldier of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor! Your Highness, the last general is also a native of Taiping!"

This is really scared, and brought out his father's background. This is not just a soldier under Lao Zhu's tent, but also Lao Zhu's out-and-out fellow villager.

Seeing that little Zhu was unmoved, and was about to be dragged away, Zhao Yi continued to shout, "Your Highness, I will eventually serve under Duke Zhongshan! Your Highness, I will eventually be under Duke Zhongshan!"

Little Zhu jumped off the stool, turned around and left.With a cold face, Fu Zhong drew out the saber from his waist and smashed the hilt on Zhao Yi's mouth.Immediately, broken teeth flew and blood spattered everywhere. Fu Zhong couldn't let this criminal continue to talk nonsense.

Little Zhu ran to the back hall aggrieved, and said pitifully, "Great-grandfather, this man was a brave general in his early years. The court and his official position and rewards, this man doesn't know what is good or bad, and doesn't want to serve the country. Soldier."

After struggling to pick up little Zhu and put him on his lap, Old Zhu said, "We killed many people in the early years. We also feel sorry for you. Many of the people we killed were brave in battle. Wushuang, who has made great contributions. It’s just that these individuals are corrupt and pervert the law. If we don’t punish them, it’s not enough to command the world.”

"We know, we know this." Little Zhu said still very depressed, "We hope that he died on the battlefield, he would still be a hero. Now it's not worth it."

Even if it's not worth it, such things have already happened, and everyone needs to be responsible for what they do, which is beyond doubt.

Especially when encountering some iron-blooded and harsh kings, it is basically difficult for these criminals to end well once the incident happens.

In fact, according to Lao Zhu's thinking, he still felt that Xiao Zhu was a little soft-hearted.According to Lao Zhu's temper and style, it is obvious that not only Zhao Yi will be punished, but also Zhao Yi's relatives will not be able to get a good one.

This is not the so-called eradication of grass and roots, because Lao Zhu knew that even if Zhao Yi's relatives were resentful, they would not be able to cause any trouble.To deal with the relatives of these prisoners is naturally to deter other officials and make them think twice.

What's more, Lao Zhu is also very clear that those criminal officials have been corrupt and violated the law, and their family members have received enough benefits. Naturally, it is impossible for those criminals to escape unscathed.

It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't plan to say anything more now, because it's his precious great-grandson's disposal.Although there are some simple and rude, and immature wrists, but in any case, this is the disposal of the crown prince Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Zhu's majesty must be maintained.

As for the fact that a second-rank official like the commander of the capital was punished, that was nothing more than a punishment.Leaving aside the presence of Lao Zhu, the Supreme Emperor, even if Xiao Xiao Zhu encounters such a 'offender', he can deal with it first and then make a statement.

Now that the affairs of the Runing Mansion have been dealt with, it naturally means that the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince, who are patrolling the area, will return to Ying Tian Mansion.

It's just that they don't need to hurry up, they can return to Ying Tian Mansion slowly, after all, there is nothing too urgent.What's more, it's better not to travel too much for the "old old, young young".

Zhu Yunying, who is thousands of miles away, naturally doesn't know what happened in Runing Mansion, and even if he knows, he won't care too much.Because Zhu Yunying has long known that no matter which dynasty there are some moths, they cannot be eliminated, because this is human nature.

For Zhu Yunying, what he needs to do well is naturally to grasp the direction and further rectify the administration of officials. This is what an emperor should do well.

It is no secret that the Emperor Yingshi wants to rectify the administration of officials. Many people have heard some rumors.It's just that many people are curious now, or have some concerns.

They will wonder where the emperor started the first knife, or whether they will be the first unlucky ghost to be knifed.

In fact, some people are speculating that they really want to know whether Emperor Yingshi will start to implicate and start a big case like Emperor Hongwu did.Or this time the rectification of the bureaucracy was done with a lot of thunder and a little rain, or it was just a matter of pretentiousness.

It is perfectly normal to have all kinds of thoughts.After all, everyone also understands that matters such as rectifying the administration of officials can be said to run through every period of the past dynasties.

Lian Zining is on the move. This Zuodu censor impeached the Ministry of Officials Wenxuan and Qing officials for prostitution in the morning. This can be regarded as the first shot in the official rectification.

This also makes many civil and military officials feel drummed, because one of the current hobbies and pastimes of many officials is indeed to go to the brothel to paint boats. This is not just one or two people. So rich and exciting.

Whether it is a literati or a scholar or a beautiful woman, or even a pear tree pressing a begonia, a normal man always has some needs, or a "love of beauty".

This matter may not be a small matter, because once such an excuse is made, many people may also be unlucky, and many people also have dirty buttocks.

It would be best if this doctor could be kept alive. This may not necessarily be due to a connection of interests or the intention of his colleagues. It may simply be that he does not want the situation to be magnified, and he does not want the fire at the city gate to affect Chi Yu. It is as simple as that.

And it doesn't matter even if they can't save it, the emperor should understand the thoughts of all civil and military officials. Sex with prostitutes is indeed against the court's laws, but this is definitely not a reason for a big purge, and it is also a reason that everyone can't accept.

Zhu Yunying was still silent and didn't speak, just watching the civil and military officials constantly fighting with each other.

It seems that there are still some honest ministers, and not everyone wants to pass the test vaguely.

To continue to make trouble, this is just a pretext, and some information and decisions now are only understood by Zhu Yunying.
