The Nuan Pavilion in the East Palace has always been called the "Little Imperial Study Room" by officials.

Because His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, who has the power to supervise the country, will summon the six ministers in the imperial study room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony if there are any state affairs that need to be discussed after the court.

When the cabinet submits Zhu's memorial, it must be sent to Nuan Pavilion for reading and processing.

Therefore, many courtiers joked that if you enter the imperial study room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you will probably be promoted.

If you are called to the Nuang Pavilion for an audience, you are likely to be embarrassed and scolded.

Especially this time, His Highness the Prince is like the Lord of Hell looking at the book of life and death. With a tick of the ink pen, countless heads fall to the ground.

From Taipu Temple to the pasture below, officials at all levels and more than thirty unlucky guys in blue robes were beheaded for taking bribes and bending the law.

The floods in the south of the Yangtze River killed two real officials in the local state capital.

Even Prince Ning's Mansion and the East Palace did not treat him leniently. The prince personally issued an oral order, ordering him to shut up and reflect on his mistakes.

Nowadays, all the forty-nine prefectures of the Jing Dynasty are afraid of the Tiqi Pegasus of Fusi in Beizhen. If they see black and white, they will be frightened by the news.

Now, even a central official like Liubu Shangshu.

Every time I go to Nuange, it's like walking through the gates of hell, as if walking on thin ice.

"Wan Qishi, I order you to take charge of the horse administration and reorganize Taipu Temple.

How did you do?"

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, Bai Hanzhang did not even raise his head, concentrating on marking the memorial with a red pen.

"Your Highness, from the Shaoqing, to the Si Cheng, to the chief bookkeeper and the recorder, they all have colluded with the local government to make money by colluding with the government.

Depending on the amount of bribes accepted, I will be punished leniently or severely.

In addition, Mingguang Ranch and Jinyun Ranch, these two areas have a lot of land reclamation and occupation.

Among them, the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Yue were also involved, but the stewards of these two families had contacted Taipu Temple a few days ago.

He claims that in the past, some unscrupulous dog slaves used the skin of a tiger to pull the flag, and they just did such a heinous act.

After an inventory, we learned that not only will the land be returned, but full compensation will also be given."

Wan Qishi bowed and replied.

"The two princely palaces are quick to adapt to the wind, that's all. Just make a note of it and take the lives of a few 'chief criminals' to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Give small punishments and big warnings first, and settle accounts later when you have the chance."

Bai Hanzhang held the red pen in his hand without any pause, as if he had already guessed the result.

"The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion conducted a thorough inspection of the military horse registration list and found that Huangzhai Racecourse has been transporting nearly fifty Feixue horses to Yangwuhou Mansion since the 57th year of the reign of Emperor Tatong.

Wei Chen went to Heilongtai to ask Commander Ao of Beiya, and retrieved the files and documents and found that the son of Marquis Yangwu went to the Rift Sea Corridor, and was accompanied by about fifty soldiers, so he privately equipped military horses and twenty pairs of armors.

, several bows, crossbows and swords."

Wan Qishi answered truthfully and before coming to Nuange to give his speech, the chief steward of Yangwuhou Mansion handed over a greeting card and secretly sent two large boxes of gold and silver gifts.

But Wan Qishi, who had been working hard for several years in Zhanshifu of the East Palace, knew very well that the current scenery was all due to the appreciation of the crown prince.

If you don't try your best when completing the errand, you will return to your original shape sooner or later.

By that time, the Yangwuhou Mansion, which has its eyes high, may not be able to take a liking to itself.

So he accepted the two large boxes with a smile, turned around and presented the gift list to the East Palace to show his loyalty.

"From the Marquis Yangwu family? I have some impressions. Jiang Yingwu reported his merits to him, saying that he was brave and killed many monsters."

Bai Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone still calm and calm:

"Private use of military horses and weapons cannot outweigh the merits and demerits. I issue an oral edict from this palace and ask Jiang Yingwu to bring the Yangwu Marquis family to justice under military law.

I thought that Marquis Wu of Yang was old, so I cut his body and sent it back to his mansion.

If Marquis Yangwu has any complaints, please ask Jiang Guichuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, to come over and say Haosheng.

In addition, the soldiers and servants in his mansion will be reduced to slaves and distributed to the Dragon Snake Mine."

Wan Qishi's eyelids twitched fiercely. He originally thought that the prince would be beaten twice at most and take away his military honors.

Unexpectedly, the prince was so resolute that he showed no mercy.

Marquis Yangwu was also one of the heroes of Conglong. Although his military exploits were not as outstanding as those of Duke Liang and Marquis Dingyang, he was praised by saints.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Hanzhang was almost indifferent, and the voice of incomprehensible joy and anger sounded again, which shocked Wan Qishi's heart.

It seems to be falling from a very high sky, with a thunderous and majestic atmosphere.

"There is no mercy under the law, and the relationship between relatives and strangers is equal. You don't need to worry about it for the rest of your life.

The Duke of Liang, Duke of Yue, and Marquis of Yangwu are not the only ones involved in the quagmire of Ma Zheng.

Go down and check, dig deeper, and the top will work and the bottom will work, so first remove the top, and then destroy the small ones.

I have watched the civil and military affairs of the dynasty and have been in a high position for a long time, so I have an illusion.

I feel that the seat under my butt is as stable as Mount Tai. There are thousands of yamen in this department, a division, a prefecture, a state, and even a county.

It seems that if you leave them, it will immediately stop functioning.

Sharing the world with aristocratic families, sharing the world with petty officials, sharing the world with squires... What a big joke!"

Bai Hanzhang finally raised his head, his gentle face full of coldness, and said loudly:

"I want to see who wants to share the world with the Bai family?

The saints will kill a group of aristocratic families, and the squires will kill a group.

Now it's my turn to take action, and the courtiers call the yamen clerks a carrot and a trap.

According to me, even if all these 'carrots' are pulled out, there will be no need to worry about finding new ones to fill the holes.

Wanqishi, do you understand what I mean?"

Wan Qishi suddenly felt his shoulders sinking, as if a real dragon entrenched in the sky looked down from him, making him tremble with fear.

His whole body is transparent, as if there is no secret at all.

"The humble minister will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations and clear up the long-standing abuses of Ma Zhengzheng to strengthen the country's strength!"

Bai Hanzhang nodded and said:

"Go down."

Immediately, he stopped looking at Wanqishi and continued to draw the ink pen.

As the newly promoted chief registrar of Taipu Temple in the East Palace, Wan Qishi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Playing against the prince is like taking exams again and again. It is not easy to pass.

If I had accepted a financial bribe from the Marquis of Yangwu Mansion, I would have stepped half-foot into the gate of hell today.

"The power of God is unpredictable. This is a wise saying.

His Highness has not yet ascended the throne, and his momentum is getting stronger day by day. Every word is like the condensed mountains and rivers of Jing Dynasty, and its weight is boundless!"

Wan Qishi walked out of Nuan Pavilion and left the palace door behind. Only then did he dare to raise his hand and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"It's funny that some people in the court don't understand. They only think that His Highness is in a mood of change because of the death of the Queen.

On the contrary, the two royal palaces could see clearly that the prince had been in charge of the country for twenty years and had been dormant for twenty years.

The imperial examinations promote talents every year, and Zhan Shifu has raised many young talents.

I still have a big spring and autumn dream of a carrot and a pit!

No matter how many people your Highness kills or how many officials you demote, you don’t have to worry about having no one to replace you!”

Wan Qishi was born in Jixia Academy and did not advocate simple conversation and debate. However, as a disciple of Confucianism, he was very familiar with the way of kings, righteousness and interests.

Rewards are used to encourage good deeds, and punishments are used to punish evil deeds. The sage is the one who controls the most powerful people in the world!

Obviously, the prince knows this well.

This is exactly the opposite of the "pure Confucianism" advocated by Shangyin Academy.

"No wonder Shangyin Academy is close to King Huai. The prince attaches great importance to merit, and the king and hegemony are used together. Justice and benefit are both cultivated. This is Jixia's theory!

You are not one of the same people."

Wan Qishi thought in his mind that he had nothing to do in Zhan Shifu, and he had read through the stacks of files on imperial examinations and martial arts recruitment in the past ten years.

From this, a "little thing" was discovered that has not been noticed by the court officials so far.

Although the top three in each year are mostly obtained by generals, a large number of talents from the provincial examination and the general examination are assigned to some Qingshui Yamen or lower counties in Fuzhou for polishing.

Wan Qishi dared to pat his chest and guarantee that even if the prince dragged out half of the officials and courtiers under the sixth department and beheaded them.

It only takes half a month to fill them up one by one without delaying the operation of the court.

This is the reason why the prince is uncharacteristically tough-minded!

……

……

As the night gets darker and dusk falls, candles are lit early in the imperial city and lanterns are hung high.

It's just that it's still a period of mourning, so everyone is wearing plain clothes.

If you are in the inner court, at first glance, it looks even more profound.

"Chen Gui, I won't go to the Crown Princess's place tonight."

When General Bai Hanzhang had made arrangements for the promotion and demotion of generals in the military department, he put down his pen.

He would go to the princess's palace to rest or have dinner for several nights in a row.

"Is Your Highness going to stay up late to review the memorial again? Is this servant going to order someone to fetch the 500-year-old soothing incense?"

Chen Gui bent down and asked.

"No need, I will go to the chess hall to have some quiet time.
