Zhu Shou's approval was written in cinnabar, and the handwriting was as red as blood, which made Han Bangqi's eyes feel stinging.
The emperor is going to be cruel to the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Hejian Prefecture. What is implicated? It is not called implicated when it involves the relatives and old friends of the officials to be punished. It is to catch all the officials in the same area and the same political faction without leaving any future troubles.
This is Taizu’s method!
Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu were both outstanding men. Unfortunately, they met Taizu, who was more powerful than them. So all the people, regardless of guilt or innocence, who Taizu wanted to get rid of, were all killed.
Why did the emperor kill the officials of Hejian Mansion? Yes, why? Han Bangqi kept asking himself, was there some problem that he had ignored?
Holding the book in his hand, Han Bangqi's mind flashed to the eunuch faction struggle, and he shook his head. This was definitely not the emperor's original intention.
Jinghai, Hejian, Renqiu, Wen'an, Bazhou, Xiongxian, Baoding! These place names suddenly surged out of Han Bangqi's mind, forming a half-moon-shaped lineup. Han Bangqi suddenly realized that this was so!
No wonder the emperor wanted to kill people, and he killed a group of people! Han Bangqi threw away the memorial, nodded to the ground, and loudly said: "I will dedicate myself to my life and die!"
Zhu Shou put down the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, pondered for a long time, and said to Chen Jing: "Give him two royal guards and one hundred households."
Chen Jing hesitated for a moment and then asked: "But where is Wang Qinian..."
Zhu Shou raised his head, glared at the confidant eunuch, and said slowly to Han Bangqi: "I know Cao Yuan is loyal and reliable, but there was a discrepancy of more than 10,000 taels in the accounts of the Ministry of War last year. Go ask.
He then took these pieces of silver and the guards in royal robes with him to Renqiu to take up his post."
Han Bangqi felt a chill in his heart when he saw that the emperor had already made up his mind to kill people, but still wanted to take money from the dead man's pocket. The more he came into contact with Zhu Shou, the more he felt that this young emperor was definitely not as foolhardy as he seemed.
Regarding the people who should be eliminated and the obstacles that should be cleared, the emperor not only lacked the benevolence of a woman, but also had the style of a great ancestor.
Cao Yuan is Liu Jin's confidant. It seems that even if Liu Eunuch escapes with his life this time, his power will be greatly reduced. The emperor's skill in driving away wolves and devouring tigers has indeed become more and more skillful, and he has achieved numerous successes with one fell swoop.
After Han Bangqi left worriedly, Chen Jing quickly knelt in front of Zhu Shou and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, you can't scare the grass and scare the snake."
Zhu Shou said slowly: "I am the Son of Heaven. I can use the power of thunder to strike a chicken or a dog. What's the point of frightening me?"
Chen Jing replied: "Then Wang Qinian has planned things properly and can be said to be a serious soldier; but Han Bangqi is just a rare soldier. Now he is very serious and weak. When the news spreads to Hejian Mansion, Wang Qinian may be in danger of his life!"
Zhu Shou smiled disapprovingly and said: "If he is really dead, then it means that he is not good enough. What use do I need him for?"
Chen Jing urged: "Wang Qinian's loyalty is commendable. If he can be given some experience, he can be of great use in the future."
Zhu Shou lowered his face and said angrily: "Experience? Are there fewer officials with decades of experience? But what use are they? A group of experts who fight among themselves spend all day planning how to discipline me.
It’s a waste of my thousands of miles of land!”
Chen Jing wanted to persuade him again, because he knew that Zhu Shou wanted to establish his own team of civil servants. These civil servants must obey the orders of the emperor alone, and even have the courage to sacrifice their lives at any time. Wang Qinian was the first, and he will do so in the future.
There is a second one, a third one...
But is it so easy to establish a civil and military team loyal to the emperor?
Chen Jing was not optimistic about this, but he could not confront Zhu Shou. Regardless of whether it was for justice or personal reasons, he could only reply respectfully: "I am ignorant."...
At the same time that Zhu Shou and Chen Jing were talking, Wang Qinian was sitting in the upper room of an inn in Hejian Mansion, listening to the reports of the Jinyi captains.
"If you kill the prefect, you become the prefect; if you kill the county, you become the magistrate," Chen Jing told him when he left the capital. "If you can't kill anyone, then there is no need to go to Yizhou and be exiled."
, I went to the beach in Cangzhou and wiped my neck to avoid being embarrassed."
Ten captains in royal robes, five hundred taels of silver, and a dedicated memorial passage. These three items were the weapons used in Wang Qinian's fierce fight with more than a hundred officials in Hejian Prefecture. Without the status of an imperial envoy, he did not have a Shangfang sword to await his exile.
Confronting the officials, he seemed to be undertaking an impossible task.
"The Gaozhi Prefecture already knew that I was waiting for the Hejian Prefecture," a military captain in Jinyi said in a low voice with a sad face. "When it was time to light the lamp, he sent a few quick hands to knock on the villain's door and threw a
A bloody rooster."
Another captain in Jinyi also smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers in the capital have received news, and now both eunuchs and civil servants are watching from the dark."
"Cao Shangshu recently donated more than 10,000 taels of silver to fill the gap in the Ministry of War's accounts," said a middle-aged captain in Jinyi with a sinister face. "The emperor even issued a decree to commend him!"
These Jin Yiwei are all experts among the factory guards. They can go through many selections and enter the expert factory among countless Jin Yiwei. They can also be selected from the expert factory to Wang Qinian's side. Each one has his own unique ability. Wang Qinian was recently
Everything goes so smoothly in my life, and it all depends on these ten people.
But now everyone can see that the emperor has shifted his focus to Renqiu. Magistrate Han took office with more than 200 Jinyi guards, reaching Xiongxian, Xincheng, Baoding in the north, Hejian, Xianxian and Raoyang in the south.
, who dares not to give face to County Magistrate Han?
Just look at Han Bangqi to know what a county magistrate is. But what about the Mr. Wang they followed? He was neither famous nor profitable, and he only had to save five hundred taels of silver! If it weren't for Admiral Chen's strict order,
The body, the royal guards had already sent Lord Wang's head to the table of Gao Yangyi, the prefect of Hejian.
Gao Yangyi was not born in the imperial examination system. He was a supervisor, and he was also the most shameful example of a regular prisoner. A regular prisoner is an official's son who obtains the qualifications of a prisoner by donating money to "repay donations" and "donating money to the prison".
Those who are called "regular supervisors" are also called attached supervisors or additional supervisors.
Although he has no knowledge or skills, Gao Zhifu is good at boasting and flattering, and he is a top master in the way of dealing with people. In the early years of Zhengde, he caught the fast train of Boss Liu and was appreciated by Liu Jin. His official position also
He rose rapidly like a rocket and was promoted to the post of prefect within two years.
There was someone in the court who wanted to be an official. While Wang Qinian was still painstakingly searching for evidence of the crimes of the officials in Hejian Prefecture, Gao Yangyi learned of Mr. Wang's existence.
This thief joins the army. He doesn't want to go to Yizhou and become a native. He insists on coming to my Hejian Mansion to wander around. Isn't the knife of Master Gao really not strong enough?
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Although it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Outside the capital, Zhu Shou's deterrence shows a straight downward trend. Especially against a powerful local emperor like Gao Zhifu who has a backing.
He said, Emperor Zhu in the capital is hundreds of miles away from me, what should he be afraid of?
Therefore, he sent a number of government officials to keep a close eye on Wang Qinian and his entourage. He also cast a net everywhere and invited all the officials who were close friends in the government to the city. He planned to let everyone watch a good show and admire the power of Kozhifu.
Good means.
On the fifteenth day of September in the third year of Zhengde, all the officials and gentry of Hejian Prefecture gathered in Hejian Prefecture. What made Gao Zhifu the most happy was that Han Bangqi, the new county magistrate of Renqiu, did not come and stayed there honestly.
He established the county government office to handle political affairs.
This made some of the methods prepared by the Gaozhifu useless, but it didn't matter. One more thing would be better than one less thing. Although he was not afraid of County Magistrate Han, he didn't want to easily provoke the two hundred Jin Yiwei...
Gao Zhifu is very cautious and knows how to balance gains and losses, which makes Liu Jin very happy. Last month, Shaanxi Juren Hao Xu violated Taizu's old system when he buried his deceased father. Liu Jin hated this fellow villager for looking down on him, so he beat him
He was imprisoned. However, there were really very few fellow villagers who looked up to Boss Liu. Except for Kang Haikang, the number one scholar, who was willing to come to his door to save his friends, there were only a few of them.
Ma Yongcheng and others said that Mr. Liu was seeking personal revenge and attacked so fiercely that Mr. Liu was unable to resist.
When the Gao Prefecture had a private gathering, they advised Mr. Liu: It would be better to make the fathers of the eight of them governors, build tombs and sacrifices, and let Li Dongyang, the elder of the pavilion, write the memorials!
The sedan chair was carried by everyone. When Li Dongyang waved away the memorial text, the other seven tigers all shut up. Even Zhang Yong, who was the most unfaithful, quietly stopped talking.
From then on, Liu Jin admired Gao Zhifu even more, but Jiao Fang disapproved of this and said, "A villain behaves like a villain."
Liu Jin was furious: You are a gentleman by using a fucking kitchen knife to chop people?
The Gao Zhifu did not dare to comment on the quarrel between Prime Minister Jiao and Boss Liu. He invited officials who were friends with him to lift the ban on fireworks in the city and declare universal celebration.
Not only are they having fun with the people, but all the shortfalls in the granary of Hejian Prefecture have been filled to the max. Dozens of big businessmen from North Zhili are waiting in the prefect's Yamen at any time, waiting for the call of the prefect.
The guards from various places also brought troops and horses to surround the city. Wang Qinian's royal guards, not to mention private inspections, even when they went out to the hut, there were still several people watching overtly and covertly.
With both civil and military preparations, Mr. Gao's clever move made officials at all levels in Hejian admire him. They came to learn from him one after another, and also checked for leaks and filled in the gaps. This large gathering was turned into a Ming Dynasty corruption and bribery exchange conference.
"Even if the Han Po family comes here in person, they can't do anything to me, Gao Miemen!" When communicating with his friends in private, Gao Yang smiled proudly, "Two hundred Jinyi guards, do you really think they can control our Hejian Mansion? Your Majesty really wants to take action.
For us, one Jinyiwei is enough. It is nothing more than a warning to the people of the Ming Dynasty that we must always remember the Ming Dynasty and never engage in bribery or favoritism."
The magistrate of Nanpi County echoed: "What the prefect said is true. Under your governance, Hejian never closes its doors at night and does not pick up things on the road. In private, everyone calls you Gao Qingtian."
Mu Ziyu, the magistrate of Jinghai County, was the focus of Wang Qinian's investigation. He had long been filled with anger and said viciously: "If you don't do it, you won't stop..."
As soon as Gao Yang looked at this dandy, he felt contempt in his heart, but he said: "Brother Mu Shi, the Ming Dynasty has a king's method. We will use this king's method to kill Wang Qinian!"
Muzhi County hurriedly asked: "How to kill it?"
He was really a young man who was only thinking about women and money. Gao Zhifu was disdainful in his heart, but he replied with a serious face: "You disobey the emperor and stay in the river!"
Only then did Muzhi County suddenly realize: Wang Qinian was exiled to Yizhou by the emperor! Using the emperor's will to fight another will is a good move with the son's spear and the son's shield!
He stood up convinced and saluted Gao Zhifu: "Brother Gao Shi is really good at it."
