Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 530

Looking at her newborn son, Zhu Yunying's mood can be said to be very good.The main reason is that his wife is healthy and his child looks stronger, which of course makes Zhu Yunying feel more comforted.

It's just that as an emperor, such things as love for his sons and daughters are a bit extravagant for him.There are still many things in the court, and they all need to be done by Zhu Yunying, especially at such a critical node now, we must not slack off.

Going up to court again, after some routine reports, there are still some things to continue to discuss.

It's just that this time, everyone is considered to be smarter.Naturally, everyone will not talk about things like Huang Zicheng linking "elegance" with the violation of the court's laws.A normal person would not think like Huang Zicheng.

In fact, Huang Zicheng was too anxious for public affairs and profit. He just wanted to help scholars get more privileges, and wanted the so-called "ruling the world with scholars and bureaucrats".It's just that this guy doesn't have much political wisdom at all.

Ru Xun didn't want the matter to escalate, but she didn't cover it up either.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the offender Liu Yong has a lot of contacts with some officials. He obtained a thousand taels of silver and helped the prefect of Guangxin Prefecture to pass the evaluation. The officials of Ganzhou Prefecture are incompetent. 3000 taels of silver and several pieces of jewelry."

One by one, one by one, it also made Zhu Yunying, the emperor, look bad.

This is not only the three-year Qing magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes, but also some officials here who secretly colluded with each other and sold their titles to officials.

This also made Huang Zicheng want to cry, but the news he got was that Liu Yong was a Jinshi of the same discipline as him.For Liu Yong, a classmate, Huang Zicheng thinks he is quite familiar with it. He is very talented, can write beautiful articles, and is familiar with the scriptures of sages.

When Liu Yongqiu came here, he just said that it was an elegant thing to have a chat, poetry and wine with some like-minded people.But why did this Liu Yong do such a big thing directly? !

Zhu Yunying sighed and said, "Jin Yiwei was ordered to ransack the house during the joint trial of the three divisions. The stolen money he got was confiscated and sold to the national treasury. Officials who participated in it will be severely punished."

Zhu Yunying would never allow the matter of selling a noble and an official.The Ming Dynasty is full of vigor and prosperity now, and there is no need to sell nobles and officials to obtain some gold and silver to enrich the treasury, and it has not yet reached that point.

When encountering such a thing, Zhu Yunying will naturally punish him severely without mercy.Such things cannot be tolerated. Once the thing of killing chickens and monkeys is not done well at this time, this unhealthy trend will naturally intensify.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to exist by Zhu Yunying, and this kind of atmosphere must be curbed.

It is not surprising that the emperor made such decisions.Any capable and ambitious emperor would not allow such a thing.It can only be said that the prisoner Liu Yong hit the cusp of the storm, and the incident happened just as the emperor wanted to rectify the administration of officials, which naturally meant that the punishment would be heavier.

Many people are also trembling now. When Emperor Hongwu launched a vigorous and vigorous anti-corruption campaign, it lasted for a long time, the measures were strict, the methods were cruel, the punishments were cruel, and the number of murders was rare in thousands of years of feudal history.

For example, Emperor Hongwu once stipulated in the "Da Gao" that people can report corrupt officials. If there are officials who are corrupt, the local virtuous, upright and heroic people can arrest these people and send them to the capital.If someone dares to intercept halfway, he can show his head to the public.

There are also examples. For example, Guo Xuaner, a citizen of Jiading County, went to Beijing with the "Da Gao" to sue the county leader Yang Fengchun and others for harming the people.After the incident, Ma Dewang was beheaded to show the public, and He Tianguan was shown with his feet cut off and shackles.

In the previous feudal dynasties, the government arrested and tied up the common people, but giving the common people the power to directly arrest corrupt officials is really unprecedented and unheard of.What's more, Lao Zhu set up the "Dengwen Drum" outside the Meridian Gate, so that the people can "go up to heaven and listen".

So in the Ming Dynasty, a group of ragged people escorted corrupt officials on the road leading to the capital. This is nothing new.

Embezzled 60 taels of silver, beheaded for public display, and peeled the real grass.Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, in front of the government offices everywhere, there was often a skinning field and a long pole for picking the heads of corrupt officials; next to the office desks of the government offices, there was a human skin stuffed with straw, which was used to deter and intimidate those who were greedy. Officials with blasphemous thoughts make it shocking.

It is precisely because of such severe measures that the corruption left over from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties was well curbed.

During the reign of Lao Zhu, the rivers and seas of the Ming Dynasty were clean and the people were happy.It's simply because many officials were really frightened by Emperor Hongwu's thunderous and ruthless methods.After Lao Zhu's iron-fisted purge, incidents of officials disturbing the people are very rare, and honest and upright officials can be seen everywhere, which can be said to be upright and smooth.

Although after Emperor Yingshi ascended the throne, such things decreased.Whether it is corrupt officials, it seems that they have some living space, or the officials who were clean and honest in their early years have also seen some breathing opportunities.

Compared with Lao Zhu's period, Emperor Yingshi seems to have indeed lacked in rectifying the administration of officials.

But it's different now, because Jin Yiwei, who had once had a bad reputation, was released again by Emperor Yingshi.

Everyone knows that Jin Yiwei was not actually dethroned, but only took a little bit of power.Everyone also knows that Jin Yiwei is still helping the emperor to monitor the officials, but Jin Yiwei has really kept a low profile in recent years, and Jin Yiwei did not continue to ride around.

This is an extremely bad signal, because Emperor Yingshi also imitated Emperor Hongwu and began to reuse eagle dogs.This is not just used in private, but directly brought to the court to discuss the matter, which is trying to deter civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunying didn't care about the reactions of these civil and military officials. The Jin Yiwei made a lot of trouble in the past few years, so it was normal for the Jin Yiwei to take back and temporarily hibernate.And now Zhu Yunying didn't intend to let Jin Yiwei return to its heyday, but he could use some excuses to make Jin Yiwei come to the front of the stage.

The emperor's eyes and ears must be clear, and Zhu Yunying doesn't care about the so-called reputation.Jin Yiwei has the value and necessity of their existence, Zhu Yunying does not want to be trapped in the palace and be deceived by civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunying, who was in a good mood, naturally went to the Hall of Martial Heroes and continued to be busy reviewing memorials.

Li Jinglong came and saluted respectfully.As for the fact that Zhu Yunying seems to be close and respectful to Li Jinglong, that is also a manifestation.Speaking of it, I still want to give Li Jinglong a little face, after all, he is also Zhu Yunying's cousin.

Don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, but for Li Wenzhong and Li Zhen's face, this is even more face for Lao Zhu.

Looking at Li Jinglong, Zhu Yunying asked curiously, "What's the matter with my cousin entering the palace this time?"

Li Jinglong didn't hide anything, and said directly, "Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the Henan Capital Commander, Commander Tongzhi, and Commander to the Runing Mansion in the Runing Mansion, and the Commander of the Runing Guard. I am afraid that this move is a little urgent."

Zhu Yunying also understood, because there was a fast horse to report.It can be said that some of Xiao Zhu's operations were indeed a little too hasty. This kid wiped out all the high-ranking officials of the Henan Metropolitan Division, which also made some leaders over there now.

Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Cousin, it doesn't matter if you tell us about this matter. If you tell us in front of Grandpa Huang, you may be scolded."

Li Jinglong naturally understood this truth. He said in front of Emperor Yingshi that the magnanimous Emperor Yingshi might not care.Because the crown prince's handling was indeed urgent, in fact, it is completely safe to replace the senior generals of Henan Dusi step by step.

But this kind of thing can't be said in front of Emperor Hongwu, because when Xiao Xiao Zhu dealt with those people, Lao Zhu was right in front of him.Since Lao Zhu had acquiesced and believed that Xiao Zhu's handling was right, it must be right.

If someone dared to persuade him, it would be easy for Lao Zhu to suspect that he did not follow the instructions of the crown prince.Even if it is Li Jinglong's own family, he will definitely not be able to escape a scolding.For outsiders, maybe there will be more severe punishment.

Zhu Yunying also smiled, and said, "Henan Dusi, there is no war now, and the Crown Prince's handling of it will be fine."

This can also be regarded as one of the reasons why Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu acquiesced, because there is no war in the current capital of Henan, so it doesn't matter that no one sits in the town.

It's just that Zhu Yunying also understands that this is only temporary.He definitely needs to send someone there immediately. It's okay if there is no commander for a while, but if there is no one all the time, it will be easy to cause trouble.

Li Jinglong immediately said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has just established the Wuyuan. Although the Wuyuan soldiers entered school not long ago, most of them are the sons of honorable nobles, or veteran generals with military merits. I think that the commander of the capital of Henan can be promoted from the Wuyuan. .”

Zhu Yunying was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed too.It seems that Li Jinglong is not unaware that Xiao Zhu's previous behavior has nothing to do with it. Li Jinglong's entry into the palace this time is actually to fight for some power for the people under him, and wants to increase the influence of Wuyuan.

Wuyuan is Daming's military academy, and many people have also seen the importance of Wuyuan and the potential of Wuyuan.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after Wuyuan officially recruited students, Li Jinglong couldn't wait to implement the particularity of Wuyuan.

It is not surprising that Li Jinglong has such thoughts. After all, Li Jinglong is now in charge of Wuyuan, and his status is already quite special.Although he does not seem to be a banner on the top of the mountain, Li Jinglong also needs to represent the interests of some people.

Wuyuan's interests are also Li Jinglong's interests.Wu Yuan's status can also show Li Jinglong's status. It is only natural that he is so enthusiastic.

But it is obvious that although Li Jinglong has thoughts and ideas, Zhu Yunying does not necessarily make Li Jinglong fulfill his wish.Li Jinglong has his thoughts and ideas, and the emperor has his own ideas and plans.
