The back hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Li Qing said solemnly: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are places of Shura, so don't go there. This time you go to Fujian. During this trip, talk less, see more, and remember more."
"Remember?" Yu Qian was a little confused, "Remember what?"
"Remember the evidence of their crimes." After a pause, Li Qing continued, "I will give you an additional task."
"Sir, please speak."
"Alive."
"Alive..." Yu Qian's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in disbelief, "You mean, what Admiral Dongchang said is true, and also, someone will kill me to silence me?"
Yu Qian was so shocked that he even forgot to use honorifics.
Since the people from the south moved to the north, Yu Qian had already obtained the right to enter the palace. He knew everything that happened in the court today, so he was so rude.
Although his impression of civil servants has been greatly reduced, he still can't believe that the civil servant group dares to be so crazy. This is simply a rebellion.
"Under normal circumstances, they will definitely not take risks, but if they are really desperate, they can still dare to kill you all. I almost got killed because of the Weaving Bureau." Li Qing said in a serious tone, "What do you think?
Don’t you want to do something great to make people’s lives better and make Ming Dynasty more prosperous?”
"I think!" Yu Qian nodded without hesitation.
"Live!" Li Qing said, "When a person dies, there is nothing left. Live and live well. Only when you are alive can you have the opportunity to display your ambitions."
In fact, Li Qing originally didn't want Yu Qian to take this risk. The reason why he did this was to let Yu Qian recognize the reality as soon as possible and understand the face of a civil servant from a noble family.
The temple is no less dangerous than the battlefield. If he continues to maintain the inherent concept that "most officials are good people", Yu Qian is destined to not last long.
The Ming God of War incident will probably never happen, but Yu Qian will probably end up on a dead end.
Because he thought too well of civil servants!
It’s too idealistic to look at things!
At this moment, Yu Qian's views were shattered. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he frowned and said, "It's just rumors, rumors, but I don't think they are really like this."
"Whether it is, you will know when the time comes." Li Qing said nothing more. Many things can only be believed if you experience them personally and see them with your own eyes.
"Huh~!" Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and warned: "Remember, your main task is to collect criminal evidence and then send the criminal evidence back alive."
After a pause, he said, "If you want to achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters. As long as you have justice in your heart, it's okay to be in harmony with each other appropriately."
Yu Qian's outlook was violently impacted. He stared blankly at Li Qing for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "Even if it is true as Lord Shangshu said, I will never choose to live in peace with him."
He couldn't believe that his boss, who had been training him, would suggest that he had taken bribes.
Li Qing sighed and taught the way of life: "You don't have to be soft-spoken to eat people, and you don't have to be short-handed to take people."
Yu Qian's frown deepened and he retorted: "Taking a bribe is taking a bribe, whether you do something or not, you are taking a bribe."
This is my unique secret book. You wouldn't be surprised if I gave it to you... Li Qing had no choice but to say, "It's up to you. Anyway, I only have one request, don't stand out and come back alive."
"Don't worry, Minister, I naturally don't want to die." Yu Qian nodded, "My lord, I will definitely handle the matters assigned by you."
"Yes." Li Qing waved his hand, "Go and get ready. We will set off with Dongchang Fanzi tomorrow morning."
"Your Majesty, please leave." Yu Qian stood up, cupped his hands, turned and left.
Watching him leave, Li Qing frowned and weighed the pros and cons of letting Yu Qian follow.
Finally, he was relieved.
Although Yu Qian is too principled, he is not pedantic. Whether it is his deeds in history or his previous refutation of ministers in the court, it is proved that Yu Qian is not just a scholar, he has the ability to execute.
…
The tea on the table had already gone cold. Li Qing took a sip and put it down, and began to think about the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
With the implementation of a series of national policies in the Ming Dynasty, the interests of the wealthy gentry, especially the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, were gradually compressed, and even after they were continuously exploited, it was inevitable for them to resist.
Li Qing was not surprised by this.
However, he originally thought that the rebellion of the ministers would start after Zhu Di's death, but he did not expect that it would start now.
"Oh... let's take it one step at a time." Li Qing sighed and whispered to himself: "This power field is like a meat grinder. Once it starts running, it will never stop because of a certain person."
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Eternal and unchanged!
Even if you kill all the officials, nothing will change it.
Did Zhu Yuanzhang kill too few people?
What's the result?
Treating the symptoms but not the root cause!
Selfishness and greed are the evil roots of human beings.
Li Qing has no ability to change, he just wants to make the people's lives better as much as possible, that's all.
As for the court... Li Qing shook his head.
The tea had cooled down, and Li Qing drank it all in one gulp, preparing to go home and have a drink to relieve his bad mood.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the back hall, he met Zhu Zhanji who looked hurried.
"What's wrong?"
"Grandpa Huang wants to punish my father."
"What did I think?" Li Qing laughed and said, "Come on, if you are fine, come to my house for a drink."
Zhu Zhanji was still in the mood to drink, and said anxiously: "Grandpa Huang is going to kill my father and let his second uncle come back."
"...Do you believe this?" Li Qing was a little amused, "Thanks to you for being so smart, if the emperor really wanted your second uncle to take over the throne, why would he train you across generations?"
"Oh, it's different this time." The authorities were confused. Zhu Zhanji was really afraid that his father would lose his position as the crown prince. "The emperor blamed all the trouble caused by bandits on my father.
Just now, thousands of households in Dongchang reported: Now Tang Sai'er's rebellion has become Tang Sai'er's uprising. Among the people, Tang Sai'er's uprising has become Shan. Dong people's heroic act of resisting the tyranny of the emperor.
Not only that, even the arson case in the three main halls became the wrath of Emperor Taizu, which caused heaven to punish the three main halls and burned them to ashes. It was spread in a clear way..."
Zhu Zhanji said anxiously: "Grandpa is really angry. He accuses my father of how he supervises the country. He scolds me so harshly that you should go and see!"
Li Qing nodded helplessly. Obviously, this was the strategy of the southern civil servants. The purpose was very clear, which was to disgust Zhu Di.
But...it is indeed disgusting, and it is reasonable for Zhu Di to be furious.
Someone has to take the blame, and the prince, who oversees the country, cannot escape the blame.
The reason why the civil servants dared to do this was because Zhu Di trained Zhu Zhanji across generations, which showed that the position of the prince was as stable as Mount Tai, so they had no scruples.
The reason why Zhu Di took advantage of Fatty was to let the civil servants understand that the crown prince's position is not unbreakable. If you do it again, I will replace him with the crown prince.
In the final analysis, it is all a psychological game, and only the good saint-grandson takes it seriously.
…
"I asked you to supervise the country, and you will look like this?
Why did bandits cause chaos in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jian?
How could Tang Saier's rebellion become an uprising against my tyranny?
There are also three main halls..."
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, the sound of Zhu Di yelling and cursing could be heard, accompanied by the sound of punching, kicking, throwing things, and the clanging of bells, which was very lively.
"Father, my sons and ministers have focused their energy on the important matter of people's migration, but they are really... useless!" Xiao Pang's aggrieved voice sounded.
Then, Zhu Di cursed loudly: "Why don't you imprison a country if you don't know how to do it? Why don't you become your free king?"
I asked you to supervise the country, and you asked the people of the world to scold me, why don’t you let them scold you?”
Jingle bells clang...
Zhu Zhanji bent down and patted the small yellow door where he was kneeling on the ground, "Go and report to the emperor. Marquis Yongqing wants to see you."
Xiao Huangmen's face was full of reluctance, "Emperor Grandson, Your Majesty is very angry. How about you and the Marquis..."
"If you keep grinding, I will chop you up right now." Zhu Zhanji glared, and Xiao Huangmen immediately lost his temper and went to complain tremblingly.
After a while, Zhu Di cursed and yelled: "Get in!"
Li Qing touched his nose and walked towards the main hall.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, vases and fruit plates...it was all devastated and miserable.
The little fat man squatted on the ground, looking from behind, he looked like an aggrieved giant panda, breathing heavily and shaking.
"What are you saying?" Zhu Di scolded, "Are you dissatisfied?"
"No, I feel uncomfortable kneeling." Xiaopang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said truthfully.
His body really couldn't stand kneeling for a long time. It wasn't that his knees hurt, but that he was suffocating.
"Long live my emperor, my humble minister (grandson)."
Zhu Di glanced sideways at the two of them, sat back on the chair, and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty (father)."
After benefiting from the two of them, Xiaopang finally didn't have to kneel anymore.
Zhu Di looked at Li Qing, "What's the matter?"
Li Qing pointed at Zhu Zhanji and said, "The emperor's grandson asked me to break up the fight."
Zhu Zhanji: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a "Ah ha ha... Grandpa Huang, please calm down. My grandson is afraid that you will be angry."
"Oh, it's only a lifetime after all." Zhu Di snorted coldly, "This grandson's pain is in vain!"
"No, no, no, the pain is not in vain." Zhu Zhanji quickly confessed, "How can my grandson have bad thoughts? My grandson feels sorry for his grandfather."
We are close to each other in the next generation, and we are close to each other in the next generation. Regardless of whether our grandchildren are close to each other, grandpa is truly a close relative.
After listening to his grandson's words, Zhu Di's face turned from cloudy to clear.
He was not ignorant. He knew that being a grown-up was not easy, so he calmed down his anger.
"Go and bring me the papers you handled during my personal expedition."
"Yes, yes, I will go get ready now." The little fat man seemed to have received an amnesty, and he didn't bother to make out with Li Qing, and went away in a huff.
Li Qing sighed: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? It's not easy for the prince either..."
"Is it easy for me?" Zhu Di's anger that had just subsided suddenly came back up again, "I am already over sixty, and why do I have to travel thousands of miles to fight?
Why do people all over the world scold me?!"
"..." Li Qing scratched his head, apologized, and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the bandits are causing trouble this time. If there is real evidence, as Admiral Dongchang said, what should we do?"
"What else can I do? Catch those who deserve to be arrested, kill those who deserve to be killed, exile those who deserve to be exiled, and confiscate the homes of those who deserve to be confiscated." Zhu Di sneered with murderous intent on his face, "If you don't want to live with it, then don't live with it."
