Li Jinglong immediately said loudly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Isn't this about catching a lame man and kicking him to death? Every time I do such bad things and offend others. Last time I impeached those nobles, they almost beat them up. Now I am asked to impeach the feudal king.
, or the powerful vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
But, do you really want to be this gun this time?
If I really do this, all the vassal kings will hate me to death!
They are my father and son, no matter how angry they are, they are the two of us, and I, Li Jinglong, am just an outsider. In the end, I am afraid that both sides will not be pleased, and both sides will have complaints!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yunxi nodded in approval.
He quickly changed his words, but, Your Highness, I think you should not use me!
Zhu Yunxi was quite surprised, oh, tell me?
It's not that I want to stay out of the matter, but you have also said that everyone in the court knows that I am yours! Li Jinglong said quickly, if I impeach you, I am afraid it will be self-defeating!
That’s right! Zhu Yunxi thought about it for a moment.
Although Li Jinglong came forward with sufficient weight and his words were meaningful, it is not difficult for those who are interested to see that the person behind the scenes is himself.
In that case, it will be all in vain!
Think about it, if you use someone else, you, the salt seller, will not be able to escape the relationship! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Aren’t you here for me? Li Jinglong said with a smile, even if the emperor is angry and I am aggrieved, you will still be there to excuse me and make amends for me!
You, you, you! Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, it is really an exquisite heart with seven orifices!
I only have the heart to serve my master loyally! Manager Li said seriously.
Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said with a smile, "They are all loyal, not selfish at all?"
Speaking of selfishness, I have a little bit of selfishness! Li Jinglong said quickly, I just want to serve His Highness well. In the future, my official title will be promoted again. If one day, I commit something, Your Highness will also
If you can think of the benefits of your ministers, you will be punished lightly!
What he said was extremely beautiful and had no flaws.
But Li Jinglong didn't wait for Zhu Yunxi's reply, only the curtain of the car window quietly fell.
Instantly, Li Jinglong became anxious.
Why are you so stupid?
Suddenly, Li Jinglong really wanted to slap himself twice.
If someone wants to impeach someone, they have to know about this kind of thing! I can't just go out and shout about it on the street. Is there a businessman from Prince Ning who is selling private salt to me?
The secret report of Jinyiwei? The old prince knew about this family scandal and it was too late to suppress it. How could he make such a big show of asking others to investigate his son!
Li Jinglong, you are so smart that you are misled by your cleverness!
After reacting, I wanted to say something hastily. But when I looked at the curtain of the carriage that was pulled down and slowly swaying as the wheels moved, I didn't dare to reach out. Moreover, my eyes were full of fear.
~~
The next day was the first court meeting.
The old man, who rarely appears these days, is ceremoniously dressed in robes and sitting on a dragon chair. Next to him on the stool is the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, who is also dressed in the same attire.
One is an old man, the other is a young man. One looks a little mentally weak, and the other is full of energy. On the high throne, grandparents and grandchildren with similar faces sit side by side. The courtiers in the audience look at them inadvertently, feeling a bit in a trance.
It's like a young emperor and an old emperor overlapped together. It seems that one is the past and the other is the future.
Minister, I have this memorial! The ministers shouted long live, and after they stood in line, Ling Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out to report to Your Majesty that three officials in the Ministry of Personnel were vacant in winter. Yunnan Tongzhengsi, Jiangxi Salt Tea Ceremony, also
There is a Shandong River Department. The ministers and other officials do not dare to take charge of their own affairs. Please ask His Majesty to rule!
Although these officials only have goods, they are involved in tea, salt, mines, and rivers. They are all the best in the world and the most fertile. Typically small officials have great power and pass hands every year.
There are tens of thousands of silver coins.
On the dragon chair, the old man was leaning on the throne. He seemed a little tired and waved his hands impatiently. Didn't I tell you that you can discuss these small matters with the emperor's grandson? You don't need to ask us. He said, smiling slightly. Now, he
But he is the head of our Ming Dynasty!
My grandson is still young, and the selection of officials still requires your decision-making! Zhu Yunxi said respectfully from the side.
People are old and their minds are confused! The old man smiled and patted Zhu Yunxi's hand. Since the country has been entrusted to you, just do it with confidence. If you do something wrong, grandpa will not blame you!
Grandpa Huang, have you taken the medicine given by the imperial doctor recently? My grandson always thinks you are old...? Seeing that the old man looked bad, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but use a voice that only the two of them could hear.
, asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Let’s talk about state affairs first! The old man smiled, as we are old, we are ghosts and ghosts from time to time, it doesn’t matter!
The ministers in the palace did not dare to speak when they saw the two men whispering.
Zhu Yunxi looked at his ministers and said, although these officials are not of high rank, they have important responsibilities. Those who use them must be of high moral character and have excellent conduct! After saying that, he paused, Ling Han, look back on these few years.
, let me take a look at the list of officials who have excelled in the official assessment and should be promoted!
Minister, obey the order! Ling Han said.
Fu Youde, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, reported again to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. The Ningbo Customs reported that with the arrival of the Japanese Kingdom this year, there will be more ships and more people traveling between China and Japan. In the Japanese fleet, there are Japanese envoys and Japanese envoys.
When the letter comes, I need to ask Your Majesty to allow the Japanese to go ashore and enter the city!
Ningbo is the only port designated by the old man to communicate with Japanese merchants.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty at this time, Japanese merchants and sailors, even officials, who came to the land of the Celestial Empire must live outside the city and were not allowed to enter the city without permission.
To put it bluntly, they are qualified to do business, but not really qualified to enter the city.
The old man has no good feelings towards the Japanese country. When the country was young and had just been established, if it hadn't been for the persuasion of his ministers, he might have actually sent troops to fight.
The Japanese king? What kind of Japanese king? On the throne, Zhu Yunxi said displeasedly, there are many kings in the Japanese country now, who knows whether they are real kings or fake kings? I am afraid that he is another person who pretends to be a fake king!
At this time, the Japanese country had just ended the civil strife in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but there were still many warlords in the country. There were many people who respected the Ming Dynasty, but there were also many who were quite disrespectful because of the natural dangers of the strait.
If these people want something from the Ming Dynasty, they will be respectful and courteous. If they want nothing, they will behave like you can't hit me and you can't do anything to me.
That's why the old man felt that the Japanese were treacherous.
Still follow the old rules! Zhu Yunxi continued, Japanese people who come to Daming are not allowed to go ashore. They all live outside the city and are not allowed to set foot in the inland territory. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!
I obey the order! Fu Youwendao, the Minister of Household Affairs.
In fact, this was not a deliberately disrespectful act against the Japanese country. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty at this time, as long as they were not Ming people, they were all Fans. No matter they were blond merchants or curly brown-haired people, they were not qualified to go ashore.
I have this memorial! Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, reported that the king of Ryukyu wrote to Honglu Temple, wishing to come to the heaven to see the beauty of heaven. However, the country is small and weak, and there are no talented shipbuilders in the country. Therefore, I have been thinking about it for many years.
But in the end we couldn't make it. I would like to invite your majesty for a special tribute, and please work with the craftsmen and sailors to fulfill their hopes!
This time, the old man finally spoke and said slowly, although Ryukyu is small, it has always been very respectful and loyal to the Ming Dynasty! After saying that, he pondered for a while and sent an order to the Chief Secretary of Fujian to select skilled craftsmen from the Fujian Shipping Department.
Move to Ryukyu and work for the King of Ryukyu!
As he said that, he thought deeply for a while. Although he moved to Ryukyu, he is still a Chinese citizen and must live up to his ancestral heritage. Let’s choose thirty-six surnames from the Fujian people. The Fujian people have many rules. Choose more surnames to be more precise.
Good spread of branches and leaves!
Your Majesty is wise! All ministers praise you.
Zhu Yunxi wanted to make the old man happy and asked, "A Brief Summary of Awakening to Corruption" compiled by Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, and the emperor's grandfather, had been printed? Is it enough to distribute it to officials all over the world, so that everyone has a copy?
Liu Sanwu went out and returned to His Highness. More than 33,000 copies have been printed and can be released at any time!
In the name of Yuci, he made it known to the world, and let all the officials in the world read it. After reading it, all officials of the fifth rank and above should write a memorial to me! Zhu Yunxi said, let's talk about it and see what it feels like!
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi recited aloud: Among the four peoples, scholars are the most valuable, and farmers are the most hardworking. Who is the most valuable person among scholars? Read the books of the sages, understand the ways of the sages, serve the emperor, and achieve prosperity. Farmers are the most valuable.
Who is the most laborious? In spring, when the roosters crow and the cattle are plowed, the seedlings are strong but need to be ploughed, and the hot sun is red, and the body is haggard. When autumn comes, what will be left besides losing the official position?
Or if there are floods, droughts, insects, or locusts, the whole family will be left alone with no hope. Those who are now in office do not care about the hardships of our people, and go so far as to carve, peel, and torture them. This is so unbenevolent.
The luckiest and most noble people in the world are officials. They enjoy the support of the people and hold the power of life and death for the people. However, some people clearly read the books of the saints. However, they forget the teachings of the saints, do not know the sufferings of the people, are greedy for money, mean and cruel.
Common people, I, the Ming Dynasty, do not want or use such heartless people!
This book is a book that the old man hoped to use reason to move Xiaozhi to emotion after he was tired of killing corrupt officials.
However, such a book is ultimately just a wink for the blind, disappearing into the long river of history, and will not be remembered by others.
When the old man heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he smiled happily. His eldest grandson is interested! There is no small matter in the official system. The conscience and morality of officials are more important than their talents and learning. They must be beaten at all times, and they must not forget the suffering of the people, let alone their responsibilities!
My grandson has remembered it! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked at the officials. Who still has the original memorial?
You, my minister, have your roots! Among the military ministers, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu suddenly came out and loudly announced that I want to impeach someone!
Zhu Yunxi frowned, Xu Aiqing, who do you want to impeach?
I want to impeach Duke Cao Li Jinglong! Xu Huizu said loudly, making friends with businessmen for personal gain. It harms the state and is disgraceful!
Oh? Zhu Yunxi said in a cold voice with a long voice, please tell me in detail!
