Hearing the anger in the emperor's words, the commander of the Jin Yiwei ordered Mao Xiang to lower his head even lower. After a while, he boldly said: "Your Majesty, what should I do if I receive you from the east?"
"Please think of some ways first to stabilize Marquis Yongjia and those distinguished nobles..."
"Stabilize? Then let me tell you, how should you stabilize?" Lao Zhu's voice seemed to be still angry.
"Uh..." Mao Xiang didn't expect Lao Zhu to ask that question. After thinking about it for a while, Fang cautiously said, "Maybe... we can temporarily punish Dong Bo in the fifth hall to calm people's hearts?"
"Ha, our son was wronged and vented his anger on them? I have a good idea." But he didn't want to, Lao Zhu just snorted, his tone was unkind.
Mao Xiang was shaken up, and he changed his posture to kneeling on his knees, and lowered his head deeply to the ground as a sign of apology. He thought to himself that Bidong could not be like you. I just made it clear that you were wrong about Wu Diandong's behavior.
Add scolding.
Did he figure out the meaning of your words...
"Get up, don't kneel down." Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to mean to rebuke. Mao Xiang felt like he was being pardoned, so he quickly stood up and bowed his head in silence. Lao Zhu glanced at him. Although Mao Xiang didn't dare to raise his head, he felt as if he was being attacked by a tiger or a hawk.
His whole body trembled as if staring at him.
"Remember the identity of Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei is not the Three Laws Division. We must be loyal to our Zhu family and don't think too much about other matters."
"If you ask me, Jin Yiwei, if I can do ordinary things with the Ministry of Punishment, what's the use of promoting me, Mao Xiang?"
Mao Xiang hurried over and bowed to say no. However, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing that Mao Xiang was already bright red, Lao Zhu stopped hammering. He raised his legs and put the broken and stained memorial aside, and said, "How are you doing with the things you asked us to do before?"
"Go back to Bidong. According to the list you gave me, I have arranged spies."
"Most of them, as Bidong said, there are always illegal things done by him and others every month. Most of the secrets that Bidong has seen are actually true." Mao Xiang said with a hint of sincerity in his tone.
He was convinced. He could not understand why the Emperor, who lived in the deep palace, was so well aware of the secret affairs and plots of those ministers.
They didn’t have any royal guards at the time!
"No, but there are some officials whom Bidong mentioned who have not done anything explicit."
"For example, Guo Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, may occasionally be greedy for a small gift of one or two liang, but if he is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, it will not be enough to incriminate him..."
"If it's not enough to increase the crime, I will find a way to get him to increase the crime. Can you please teach me?" Lao Zhu said impatiently. "There are also people from the Ministry of Punishment involved in the list. How can the Ministry of Punishment get involved again?"
"Then the case will be in the hands of our Jin Yiwei. If the government and the opposition in the East obstruct our Jin Yiwei's handling of the case, I will come to us to stop it!"
"No." Mao Xiang bowed, but his heart was beating wildly in his chest. Isn't that a big case? Let them Jinyiwei take charge without going through the Third Judiciary of the Ministry of Punishment. This is the first time that Jinyiwei has superiority over the imperial officials.
.
With this being the first of its kind, the power of Jinyiwei is within our grasp, just around the corner!
"Marquis Yongjia, Marquis Ji'an, what have you discovered?" Lao Zhu asked again.
"As Bidong had predicted, when the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Yan'an were out guarding Dai County, they ordered the housekeepers to take over the farmland properties of the local tyrants and gentry, and annexed the private farmland properties. The certification materials are complete."
"Although the Marquis of Yongjia made some arrogant remarks in the palace, as the moon traveled from north to south, although he did some illegal things, he did not do anything too outrageous."
"Just because there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary yet, doesn't mean there won't be any in the future." Lao Zhu smiled coldly.
His little book is there, and it clearly records the future actions of Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu: In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Zhu Liangzu went to Guangdong, and had deep conflicts with the Panyu magistrate and county magistrate Tong.
At that time, there were many local tycoons in Guangdong who bullied and dominated the market. If the citizens did not comply, they would be framed in the East Prison. Daotong arrested the leader of the tyrants and paraded him in shackles. The tycoons rushed to bribe Zhu Liangzu, who was greedy for wealth.
It provides shelter for those local tyrants and gentry.
The people of Guangdong were in dire straits, and Dao Tong couldn't tolerate it, so he wrote a memorial to the Ming Emperor. Who knew that after Zhu Liangzu heard about it, he actually wrote a false accusation against Dao Tong and reported Zhu Yuanzhang to him first.
Regrettably, he trusted Zhu Liangzu at that time and actually sent an envoy to consecrate Daotong for his death. When Daotong's memorial arrived, he was shocked to realize that Zhu Liangzu had deceived the emperor. He had no time to send an envoy to pardon him.
But when the messenger of forgiveness arrived, Daotong had already been killed.
Dao Tong Ru Ming has been promoted to the outer cabinet by him. This person is upright, loyal, and caring for the people. He is enough to be the humerus of the moon queen, but he is not as big as the Ming Dynasty. He is a rare pillar of the officialdom.
After Yue, Zhu Liangzu was killed because of his domineering behavior. How could Lao Zhu not be angry?
After finding out what kind of person Daotong was, the little-known official, Lao Zhu was convinced that the information Zhu Su gave him was indeed correct. Otherwise, how could Lao Wu, a prince from a deep palace, interact with a small official?
?
Since Daotong is indeed not an upright official, then it is natural that Zhu Liangzu Yuehou is domineering and lawless.
"Your Majesty is red." Mao Xiang nodded and said again: "Let's go to the east of Yongjia and the Marquis of Yongjia to Peiping. We will rely on the Jin Yiwei, but we are afraid that we will not be able to catch him."
"There are many nobles on the list, most of them are armed with heavy troops..."
"It doesn't matter. Let's let Tiande calm down the military situation." Lao Zhu said eloquently. "That kid from Lao Wu is quite smart. He knows that he has the Qixia Guard under control and comes back to report the news first."
"One step first, step by step. If we know one step first, whether we have the upper hand, we can naturally make arrangements calmly."
After thinking about it, I finally couldn't help it and cursed in a low voice: "That's what Lao Wu did... He suddenly killed someone with a sword, and he didn't even wait for us to be fully prepared. He asked me to be the father."
Wipe his butt!"
"He was killing people happily, but we asked Luo Zhi, who was in a hurry to go there, to accuse him of an unfounded crime. It seems that we are destined to never take off the name of that tyrant."
Mao Xiang was submissive and did not dare to say anything, and felt cold sweat dripping from his back. If the emperor said that he was not a tyrant, could he listen to his words?
Bu Nao Lao Zhu just complained casually. I bet the Ming Dynasty will never care about those posthumous names. He turned to Mao Xiang and said: "Let's go. We know that the heels that I, Jin Yiwei, found are very good."
葑.”
"We'll capture Hu Mingbu first, so we can act more arrogantly. We are our hawks and dogs, so we don't need to bend our knees for others..."
"We have to think of a way to deal with those pedantic people..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two tigers coming in hurriedly, leaning over and saying:
"Your Majesty! There are guards outside bringing news from the east of the Fifth Palace."
"Zhu Xian, the eldest son of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, colluded with Wang Zaixian, a student from Korea, and planned to seize the cement industry of Wudiandong. After the incident, Zhu Xian became angry and wanted to assassinate Wudiandong."
"Wudiandong was lucky enough to escape and killed Zhu Xian with a reverse leg attack. However, he was also seriously injured. His clothes were stained with blood and he fell unconscious!"
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and turned to look at Mao Xiang inquiringly, Lao Wu was injured? Why didn't I say anything just now?
Mao Xiang also looked confused and shook his head.
"Hey, I got five points smarter that time." Lao Zhu smiled.
"Is there any reason to capture Zhu Liangzu and evade Confucius?"
Then he suppressed his smile, adjusted his mood, and deliberately looked shocked and angry.
"Come on, summon the chief officer of the Three Laws Department for us."
