I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 73 The way of emperors, the way of employing people.

"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang is asking to see you!"

Not long after Zhu Zhangui saw off his father and mother, the guards reported that Ji Gang had arrived.

Looking at the dusk sky outside, Zhu Zhangui was a little surprised and said:
"This old Ji is very efficient! It's not dark yet, and the arrests are over."

When Ji Gang arrived at this time, it was obvious that the matter had already been finished.

In less than two hours, Ji Gang completed what he told him. No wonder he made so many mistakes and the old man was reluctant to kill him.

With this ability to handle affairs, most emperors are really reluctant to throw away this good knife unless they are brain-dead or forced to do nothing.

"Ji Gang, Commander of Jin Yiwei, please refer to His Royal Highness Taisun."

As soon as Ji Gang came in, he hurriedly saluted and paid respects.

"Hehe, you don't need to be too polite, Uncle Ji, we are almost a family, and it will be a bit strange if we do this again."

Ji Gang didn't dare to call Zhu Zhangui like that, and quickly waved his hands and said, "The emperor is the emperor, and the minister is the minister. Your Highness is called this, and the minister will never be able to bear it. In the future, I hope that your highness will not insult the humble minister like this."

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile.

It's enough to pull the relationship properly. If the number of times is too high, the subordinates will drift away.

"How is it? How many have you caught?"

The two sat down, and after the servants served tea, Zhu Zhangui took a sip of the tea and asked nonchalantly.

Ji Gang hurriedly stood up and reported: "This time all the Jinyi Guards were dispatched, and a total of 113 assassins were arrested, and 1568 people were suspected of being related to the remnants of Jianwen. The highest rank is a fifth-rank official."

Speaking of this, Ji Gang looked around and said in a low voice: "Although there are some ones further up, I didn't catch them, for fear of causing trouble to His Royal Highness."

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Where is my brother and sister?"

"Miss Sun Ruowei, His Majesty's edict had no choice but to let her go. Except for a small number of people who were captured alive, most of them were executed on the spot during the resistance."

After finishing speaking, Ji Gang smiled slightly and pointed to his head.

"According to the report just now, the girl surnamed Sun seems to have something wrong here because her adoptive father and friends were killed, and she is already a little crazy at this time."

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, "Hehe, are you crazy? I don't think so!"

He tapped the table lightly, "Give me the list of those people above, and I'll ask the old man for his opinion later."

Then Zhu Zhangui thought of something again, and asked Ji Gang: "The bugs in the Ministry of War, how did you check? If you check it out, please hand it over together, and let them go on the road together. a companion."

Hearing Zhu Zhangui's inquiry about the Ministry of War, Ji Gang looked a little embarrassed.

Noticing Ji Gang's expression, Zhu Zhangui frowned.

"What? Didn't you find a few bugs?"

Ji Gang shook his head quickly.

"The subject has already found out, but these people are a little troublesome."

With that said, Ji Gang put a small notebook by Zhu Zhangui's hand.

Zhu Zhangui was a little curious, what kind of person is he?Even Ji Gang felt a bit tricky.

Reaching out to open the small book, the first name immediately attracted Zhu Zhangui's attention.

"Han King Zhu Gaoxu!"

Seeing the name, Zhu Zhangui suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that in Zhu Di's time, some people dared to drink soldiers' blood, and their feelings were because of their second uncle, who stood in front of them.

After seeing the name below, Zhu Zhangui frowned.

Zhu Zhangui is very familiar with many names.

Most of these people are heroes of Jing Nan, and some of them are not heroes, and they are inextricably related to these heroes of Jing Nan.

Either so-and-so's son-in-law, or so-and-so's nephew.

"Your Highness, these people are not moving!"

Looking at Zhu Zhangui who was frowning tightly, Ji Gang said helplessly: "Actually, His Majesty is also aware of these people reaching out to the army, but His Majesty can't move!"

"These are the main generals of the imperial court. Once they are taken down, it is tantamount to cutting the imperial court's own flesh and blood!"

"Take them all down, and the young generals behind will not be able to take over. Once the court is about to fight, there will be no one to command the troops."

"So after so many years, as long as these people don't go too far and don't affect the combat effectiveness of the army, His Majesty will also acquiesce."

"Actually, Weichen suggested that you should pretend not to know about these things, Your Highness. After all, you need to win over these people the most. Once this matter comes out, you will push them to King Zhao of Han."

After speaking, Ji Gang bowed down.

"Your Highness, for your great cause, I implore you to seal up this matter, and it will not be too late to take it out and settle it when you master the great treasure in the future."

Flipping through the pages of the list, Zhu Zhangui fell silent.

To be honest, these people really don't move.

Let's not mention how urgent the Northern Expedition is now, and these people are urgently needed to fight on horseback.

Even in normal times, moving these people can hurt the imperial army's muscles.

The role of the generals of the ancient army was very important.

A heroic general and an army led by a fool are completely different in nature.

Although cleaning moths can keep the army clean, the consequences may cause the army's combat effectiveness to plummet, and even fall directly from the elite army to the waste army.

A certain Dalin back then was cleaning too hard, and when the war broke out, he suddenly found out that no one under his command was available.

In the early days, the generals of the Ming Dynasty went through two purges by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and they changed from a wealth of talents to a withering of talents.

In the period of the God of War in the Ming Dynasty, this guy who should have been stuffed back into the furnace and rebuilt even threw out the last bit of inventory, causing the powerful military strength of the Ming Dynasty to plummet and fall to the bottom.

Thinking of all kinds of historical materials in later generations, Zhu Zhangui squeezed his brows with a headache, and waved to Ji Gang.

"Let's temporarily seal up these materials at Jinyiwei, and don't need to keep those Jianwen remnants. These days are good days, let's send them on their way!"

"Remember, you must get the approval note from the Ministry of Punishment, otherwise you will be annoyed to death by those censors."

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui accepted his suggestion, Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Watching Ji Gang leave, Zhu Zhangui sat on the chair in silence for a long time, reached out to pick up the small book, and put it on the nearby lamp.

Looking at the list slowly being engulfed by the flames, Zhu Zhangui murmured.

"As a king, you should not act in favor of doing things. You must focus on the overall situation, the country, and the people. Upright officials have their uses, and corrupt officials have their uses."

"As an emperor, you can't expect all officials to be honest and honest. You must put useful people in useful positions. You can't recognize them as evil because they are greedy, and you can't regard them as loyal just because they are clean."

"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. You need to have all kinds of flavors, and only by mastering the balance can you cook a peerless delicacy."

"The way of an emperor is the way of employing people."

"If you use the right people, a pig can create a glorious and prosperous world. If you use the wrong people, even if you have millions of soldiers and hundreds of millions of property, they will be destroyed in a flash."

Talking to himself, he said something about Zhu Zhangui who didn't know if it was to comfort himself, or to find a reason to kill these people.

He raised his hand and threw the burning book on the ground, stomped it out with one foot, and strode out the door.

"Come on, go back to the East Palace!"
