Daming heir

Chapter 392

In front of Jin Yiwei, especially in front of Jin Yiwei who has received the emperor's order, it is best not to show any pretentious behavior and possibility.

Bai Yuxiu didn't want to pretend at the moment, it was only because he was the head of the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials, and Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest the officials under him, so he asked this question.

After asking, Bai Yuxiu frowned, and realized that she shouldn't have asked, and just let them take them away.

Among the Xinxue classmates at the Book and Newspaper Bureau, there are still many who have never been officials.

The Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei who led people into Wenxuan's office, his face obviously sank, and he looked at Bai Yuxiu with a little solemnity.

If I hadn't known that the young chief officer of Wenxuan Department in front of me was from the school of Xinxue, it had been written by the emperor's grandson a few days ago, and the emperor agreed, and Xie Xueshi brought it to His Majesty.No matter what he said, he would open his mouth to warn.

The Chief Banner Officer's lower eyelid showed a pensive expression.

Bai Yuxiu's eyes moved, and she immediately added an explanation: "I am the first official in the Department of Literature and Selection, and there are many things going on in the department. Right now, rebels are everywhere in Henan Province and Shandong Province, involving the local government. The court needs to sort out the new officials of the two governments as soon as possible. Appointment is also necessary to fill in the official vacancies requested by Taisun Chu's writing. The department is complicated and there is a shortage of manpower. I hope the general flag will know."

The chief banner officer of Jinyiwei, who lowered his eyebrows in thought, loosened the flesh on his face.

Commander Tong Zhi of Jin Yiwei looked indifferently at the officials in front of him.

He knew very well that these people were just out of fear that one day the Jinyiwei Yamen might directly send them to the Imperial Prison just like today.

Not to mention the progress of Bai Xiuyu, a young psychic official, in the officialdom.

All the officials of the Anthology Department who were called out by name trembled all over.And those people whose names had never been called out quickly walked to the side of Chief Bai Yuxiu who was standing under the window.

An invisible gap appeared in the small Wenxuan office.

"I'm waiting for my duty."

I might as well have died on the road to Yingtian. Since I returned to Yingtian, I was tricked into Zhejiang Road, and then I was tricked into Liudaotian Tax's errand.

Just looking at it, Hu Wenhai also felt that it was meaningless. These people were sent to prison and ended up beheaded.In these years, are there not many heads that have been beheaded in Yingtian City?

"Come here, take it away by name."

The officials of the Wenxuan Department who were taken away began to cry and beg for mercy, trying to imagine a glimmer of life.

As for the vitality of Qinglong, on Qinglong Street to the east of Hongwumen, there are six yamen and the yamen of Hanlin Academy, Zhanshifu, Imperial Hospital, and Zongrenfu.

After thinking about it, Hu Wenhai recalled what Sun Qingshu said earlier.

Outside the window, there were Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army in every office of the official office. A famous official was taken out of the office by the officers and soldiers and escorted outside the office.

Hu Wenhai hesitated and said: "I still don't understand how those people came up with the idea of ​​coercing the so-called public opinion and begging to abolish the emperor's grandson. They think that the emperor's grandson can be abolished just by talking about it." of?"

After speaking, Sun Qingshu waved his ink-spotted robe.Compared with watching these officials being arrested by the Jinyiwei, I would rather write a few more articles on the principles of psychology.

Jiaofangsi is the housekeeper's place. Although it is also a place of love and moon, it is not as good as the ten-mile Qinhuai River, which makes everyone in the officialdom relax.

If you co-author, you can only do things that offend others?
Ladies and gentlemen of Prince Qin's Mansion, I almost forgot what I looked like!

Sun Qingshu sneered: "Since when does His Majesty only have this knife? Today is just the first dish on the table."

There were already several people fighting with each other, their faces turning pale.

Bai Yuxiu also bowed her hands to the coming General Banner officer: "Tired General Banner is released, and the General Banner is light."

……

Bai Yuxiu hummed for a moment, then looked at the rest of the people: "Seven or eight people have gone to Wenxuan Department today. In the past, I probably asked you to work hard."

The officials who were at the forefront of the crowd looked at it and stepped forward one after another.

Now, I still have to do the work of Jingcha.

If you don't believe me, you can go to the palace to ask the saint.

The surviving stewards of several departments immediately said in unison: "The principal has been in the anthology department for a few days. Recently, the affairs of the department are busy, and I have delayed to meet the principal. Today, the department is probably unable to do things. Why don't we borrow This opportunity, going to the Qinhuai River to host a banquet for the principal, can be regarded as a break from today's mess."

"There is a word in the imperial edict that this time the emperor's grandson is on a westward tour and receiving relief from Henan Province. There are disobedient ministers who are arrogant, traitors and sycophants, coercing public opinion, and intending to abolish the emperor's grandson. It is a matter of the court and society, and a matter of the royal family and the country. , when will these people be allowed to speak their beaks?"

Hu Wenhai's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in amazement, "Your Majesty's knife, which has been hanging for several days, has come down. Isn't this the end of the matter?"

Standing in Wenxuan's office, the Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei waved his hand again, and the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately took out the roster.

He was holding his head high, his face was red and angry, his face was tense after roaring, his face was firm and unyielding, and he had a decisive attitude of not changing his color when Mount Tai collapsed. He knelt with his legs fixed in the cold hall On top of the gold bricks.

The Chief Banner Officer coughed lightly, cupped his hands as a return gift, and left a trace of incense. His eyes sank to the officials of various departments in the office of Wenxuan Office.

Sun Qing wrote and looked at Hu Wenhai with a smile: "Do you think today's matter is over? You only have this kind of means and kindness when you are our majesty?"

"I don't want it!"

The emperor wants Jingcha!
Moreover, it was specially chosen at this time, when there were rebellions everywhere in Henan and Shandong provinces. Today, when Jin Yiwei was seeking the officials of the capital, His Majesty the Emperor actually announced that he would call for all officials in the imperial court.

There are really a lot of people seeking talents and setting up courses.

When a person is caught, it is only an ordinary crime.

The crowd changed from excited to whispering.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Xi who also served as a tax errand for the Liudao field.

"Jin Yiwei's yamen disregards the laws of the country, is arrogant and domineering, and is not like a minister. I will ask your majesty to judge."

After just saying these two sentences, Zhu Xi's face was full of grievances, and his heart was filled with incomparable resentment.

And as the officials of the various ministries and offices were brought out, the short Qinglong Street became more crowded, people were almost sticking to each other, chest to back spread out to Chongli Street in the south.

The crowd fell silent.

"Since it's all blocking the way, and miscellaneous families can't go to the General Secretary, I'll tell you here."

Bai Yuxiu just looked away from the window, and he walked back to his desk with light steps: "Official vacancies in Henan Province..."

There was a commotion among the crowd.

A lot of officials were arrested today, not only the Beijing officials on both sides of Qinglong Street, officials from other government offices in the city were also arrested.

A large number of officials, abandoning their errands and forgetting the rules of going to the Yamen, all ran to the Jinyiwei Yamen, hoping to get a clear answer.

Directly in front of Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang had his hands on his hips, his face was full of blackness, and he stared gloomyly at his second son who announced loudly.

"When did Jinyiwei Yamen become so unreasonable?"

Outside the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Qinglong Street has long been blocked by Jin Yiwei and the pro-military officers and soldiers of the Great Nei.

The young people looked at the bustling Qinglong Street, unable to move their feet.

The leading eunuch glanced at the Tongzheng Shi Yamen who was blocked behind the crowd, and cast a rather unlucky glance at the crowded Baihu Street.

Bai Yuxiu smiled, looked at these officials who were completely different from the previous moment, and nodded: "If that's the case, you will have to spend money."

The current situation will be another opportunity for Xinxue.

Behind the two of them, the younger Xinxue disciples also looked blank.

But before he could walk a few steps, a group of pro-military soldiers and horses escorted several eunuchs from the inner palace from the West Chang'an Gate.

"I'll enter the palace after this!"

Bai Yuxiu had a smile on her face: "There's a lot of noise in the yamen today. I'll treat you to a drink after I leave the yamen."

Not far in front of Zhu Xing, Prince Zhu Biao sat cross-legged on a low chair, with several piles of state affairs memorials in front of him.Even under the roar of his brother, he can still maintain a calm mood, flip through the memorials he has read from time to time, and look sideways at Zhu Xi from time to time.

Sun Qingshu was much older than Hu Wenhai, and it was only because of his bad luck that he was never selected by the emperor in these two subjects, so he stayed in the Book and Newspaper Bureau to settle down and do things while studying psychology.

But in other places in Yingtian City at this moment, because Jin Yiwei was ordered to arrest the officials of various departments in Qinglong Street, countless people turned their attention to Dongcheng, to the commander of Jin Yiwei, the Si Yamen and the imperial city.

At this time, no one would have the thought of entering the palace to meet the emperor.

"Take them all away." Seeing that all the people to be arrested were gathered, the Chief Banner Officer yelled, and then said to Bai Yuxiu: "For bothering Chief Bai's work, please leave now."

Bai Yuxiu looked sideways at these officials who were still shirking with him about their affairs, and kept silent and turned a deaf ear.

Undoubtedly, from among these people, some fish that slipped through the net in the past can be found.

"I'm begging the Lord, please help me. I didn't do anything. We really didn't do anything."

"With just one sentence, can countless officials from various ministries and yamen in Beijing be arrested?"

Bai Yuxiu turned around and nodded, "Excuse me."

Zhu Xi quietly glanced at the boss next to him, seeing that the other party was still reading the memorial, his heart sank even more.

This young principal who has been secretly watched by countless bigwigs and has an almost limitless future has already given himself a new level.

"This time, no matter how hard you punish your son, he won't do it!"

With his words, there was a burst of laughter in Wenxuan's office, which was completely different from the atmosphere in other places outside the official office.

But those eunuchs who left the imperial city under the escort of the emperor's personal army looked calmly at the crowd blocking the Baihu Street.

After Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers made such a fuss today, the officials in the public house had long since lost their so-called spirits, and everyone opened their mouths.

Hu Wenhai, who has already won the two rankings of Jinshi and is watching politics in the middle of the court, and works in the Book and Newspaper Bureau on a daily basis, looks at Sun Qingshu, who is the chief manager of the Book and Newspaper Bureau.

Older, always calm down.

The Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei asked back, then closed his mouth, his eyes swept over the officials in Wenxuan's office.

"They're all a bunch of idiots! If you think that His Majesty has ignored government affairs for the past two years, you really don't care?"

Seeing that they could not get the desired promise in front of Jinyiwei Yamen, the gathered officials began to move towards West Chang'an Avenue on the north side of Baihu Street under the call.

Bai Yuxiu moved her footsteps, what the other party said was enough to save face.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Xi lowered his head involuntarily, and his voice became much lower: "Father, my son is still working on the work of changing the land tax in the six lands, and you let him take care of the Beijing inspection. Even the donkeys in our hometown don’t command them like this.”

Jin Yiwei's commander Tongzhi looked coldly, and swept every official blocking the yamen.

"You can take so many people today, will your Jin Yiwei send all the officials in the city to prison in the future?"

But Sun Qingshu shook his head: "They are all from gentry families. Some of them are from Henan Road, Shandong Road, and Huguang and other places."

A few people stood by the side of the road, silently watching what was happening on Qinglong Street.

At the corner of Chongli Street turning to the north, several young men in green shirts with ink stains all folded their hands together and hid them in the cuffs that had been blackened by the ink stains.

With a wave of his hand, Hu Wenhai, like Sun Qingshu, went back to the newspaper bureau by himself.

The officials of the Anthology Department who were detained performed a lot of life in a short time.

The Jinyiwei Commander Tongzhi, who came out to deal with these officials, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Jinyiwei's yamen imperial privilege!

Hu Wenhai cursed a few words in a low voice, then shook his head and turned around, looked back at a few young Xinxue students, and shouted: "Go back, this periodical will start to be sent to Jiaozhi Road Yes, don’t miss the day.”

Lord Baihu killed, and all the left and right sides of Baihu Street on the west side of Hongwu Gate in Yingtian East City were Yamen such as the Five Army Commander's Mansion.

The chief banner officer turned around and walked out of Wenxuan's office.

If it wasn't for the commanding envoy's explanation, today's matter will be ordered by His Majesty to point out the criminals found out, and he will order these people to be sent to the imperial prison first for the crime of gathering a crowd to make trouble and disobeying the order Scared.

The leading eunuch said quietly: "Everyone, do you want the miscellaneous family to go back to the palace to play for you, Your Majesty, do you want to face the saint?"

"..."

Today's matter is also ordered by His Majesty, and the yamen of this department has conclusive evidence.

Under the threat of being designated as an accomplice, everyone who was touched by his gaze lowered their excited and high heads.

The leading eunuch's tone was soft, but it was quite harsh.

Hu Wenhai could only shake his head with a wry smile. Most young people are like this, even though he is also young.

"He Jinyiwei is unreasonable and disregards the laws of the country. I will go to see His Majesty later!"

"Several supervisors, I will ask to see His Majesty today, and I ask you to help me report."

They went to Jinyiwei's yamen, thinking that because those officials were taken away by Jinyiwei today, they went to talk about the court law as an excuse, and their intention was just to reiterate that the arbitrary power of Jinyiwei's imperial franchise should be restrained.

"I won't do it!"

While the officials outside the imperial city who had been frightened by tons today were made too angry by Jingcha, there was a burst of hoarse voices of opposition from inside the imperial palace and Huagai hall.

Wait until the last person is taken out of Wenxuan Office by the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yuxiu took the teacup and walked to the window in the public house overlooking the courtyard of the yamen.

"Master! Master Bai!"

No one needed to remind, just a gust of wind left Baihu Street with dust floating on the empty street.

Hu Wenhai stopped for a while. After all, such a scene on Qinglong Street as today is rare, probably not a few times in a lifetime.

The old man's strange reaction caused Zhu Xi, who was still screaming and trying to resist, to feel suspended in his heart.

The two ended their brief conversation, and Bai Yuxiu continued to silently look at the officials outside the window.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, just put his hands on his hips and stared at Zhu Xi calmly.

Countless officials crowded in front of the Jinyiwei Yamen with red faces, condemning the arrogance and domineering of the Jinyiwei Yamen.

"I beg the master to do something."

Hu Wenhai said in a low voice: "They are all Neo Confucianists."

When people were arrested one after another, everyone knew something big was going to happen.

Your Majesty cannot tolerate those people meddling in the affairs of the country.He was even more dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor's grandson made a westward tour and received relief for Henan Road, but let these people write a letter to abolish the establishment sooner or later after the rebellion broke out.

Hu Wenhai glanced at the chaotic scene on Qinglong Street again. Those Beijing officials who used to be naturally high-ranking were already ashamed at the moment, and they all lowered their heads for fear of being recognized by their former court colleagues. Under custody, walk up Chongli Street.

The words were full of threats.

In the crowd, someone shouted.

The eunuch who was going out of the palace to pass the decree to the governor's office, looked at these court officials with sarcasm but were extremely shy.

But now, Jingcha is the real direct thing, and it is about to come to everyone's head.

Countless officials in green robes and green robes gathered at the entrance of the Jinyiwei Yamen, almost blocking half of Baihu Street in the same way.

"Reporting to the master, there is a shortage of Taoist officials in Henan Province. The list will be sorted out within three days after the opening of the department."

Escaping the capture of Jin Yiwei, the surviving official of the Wenxuan Department's Opening Section rushed to answer it immediately.

In an instant, the officials on Baihu Street calmed down.

Everyone knows that as long as the officials who are taken away by Jin Yiwei basically form a solid bond with death.

If you dare to gather people here again to obstruct Jin Yiwei's handling of the case, I will definitely condemn you as a fellow party member and send you to the imperial prison for careful interrogation. Why should you speak out for the people who have been judged by the imperial edict! "

And he continued: "Your Majesty has a decree to ask the Secretary of General Administration to spread the news to the yamen of the various ministries in the capital. This year, all the yamen of the government office above the court will be investigated. His Royal Highness King Qin is ordered to take charge of all the affairs of the Beijing inspection this year. All ministries and yamen have their own investigations, self-clearing and self-explaining, so don't say that they didn't predict it."

After making up his mind, Sun Qingshu stopped stopping, turned around and let the Book and Newspaper Bureau walk back.

What does it mean?
The corners of Bai Yuxiu's eyes swept towards the public room, the officials whose faces changed drastically after the arrival of the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers.

"Enter the palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, his eyes darkened: "Go on, tell me everything, and tell me all the pain in your heart in the past few years."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were already on the belt around his waist.
