The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1572

[1572. Chapter 1493 The imperial edict arrives]

Emperor Hongzhi’s face turned pale, and he almost didn’t have the courage to continue reading the files at the back.

This… is only verified, what about those that have not been verified?

It would be okay if I didn’t check, but if I checked, it would be scary to death.

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes, looking perhaps tired, and said, “So many people were involved?”

“Yes.” Xiao Jing said, “Among them, thirty-two were guilty of the most serious crimes; twenty were more serious. In addition to the rest, there are also many stupid people, there are more than a hundred people. Duke of Qi… Duke of Qi…”

Emperor Hongzhi finally opened his eyes again and looked up at Xiao Jing and said, “What did he say?”

Under the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing did not dare to hesitate anymore and said immediately: “Qi Guogong said that your majesty will be worried when he sees it. However, in all the dynasties, after the glory, there must be stinking ditches with sewage flowing across them, but this light cannot Just go in. Now, your majesty is different from others. Your majesty is wise…”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was livid, and he pressed his hands: “Skip these and pick up the important things.”

“Qi Guogong said, this light came in, it was not. There are many bad things and sensational things. Instead of ignoring him, it is better to see him clearly. His Majesty is a holy king who has done something. When he sees these, he will be shocked at first, but he will also be very happy soon.”

Emperor Hongzhi said. He murmured: “How can I be happy? It’s terrible, it’s terrible.”

Xiao Jing looked up at Emperor Hongzhi and fell silent.

Now, I can only wait for His Majesty’s Holy Judgment, and I will never dare to say anything.

After three days of busy work, Xiao Jing was extremely exhausted. When he went there, he didn’t expect to stay behind closed doors for so many days, so he seemed careless. Now he just wanted to find a place and fall asleep.

Emperor Hongzhi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back anxiously.

He didn’t even know if the backlog of cases involved people he was familiar with. Perhaps that person had gained his favor and trust not long ago.

But he didn’t dare to look.

The lid of the pot was lifted. He was so angry that he ordered Fang Jifan to lift it.

But now…what should I do?

He thought of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shao. At that time, Yuan Shao was in great power. Many people in the court secretly communicated with Yuan Shao and exchanged letters with Yuan Shao. After defeating Yuan Shao, these letters fell into Cao Cao’s hands, and Cao Cao showed them in front of people. , burned these letters cleanly to show that bygones are bygones.

This… was recorded in Zizhi Tongjian, and also mentioned Cao Cao’s words: “When Shao is strong, I can’t protect myself alone, let alone everyone.”

This story is also found in other places. Recorded.

However, such a story is emphatically mentioned in Zizhi Tongjian, and the profound meaning behind it is completely different.

This book was edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. The purpose of compiling it was “to be able to govern the country in view of the past.” To put it more straightforwardly, this is an emperor’s book, meant for emperors to read.

Almost in the East Palace, Zizhi Tongjian, like the Four Books and Five Classics, is the most important study textbook. Its purpose is to use historians to govern history and to assist government.

But now… Emperor Hongzhi also found that he encountered the same problem as Cao Cao.

Cao Cao already has a role model.

What about yourself?

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and finally had determination in his eyes: “Although I live in a deep palace, I have not yet penetrated into the people. The people are already suffering unspeakably, and now I see you here again.” If we ignore the corruption that harms the people, I will feel uneasy. If one day I die, I will not be able to explain the spirit of Emperor Taizu and Gao. I am shocked that there are people who are so rampant. Beijing Chao I will accept all the envoys’ petitions and handle them strictly!”

Xiao bowed and kowtowed.

“Your Majesty, your Majesty!”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was livid, and he waved his sleeves and said, “Are you mocking me?”

Xiao Jing: “…”

“This slave will die!”

“Go and have a rest.”

A decree that has been approved will be followed quickly .

Tianfu House.

The imperial envoys and inspectors here are anxiously waiting for the news.

The food here is quite good, with enough chicken, duck, and fish. Zhang Heling is very satisfied. This makes him miss the good old days when he was rich. Although that time is gone forever, it is still unavoidably missed.

So… this reminded him of “Pipa Xing”. Didn’t that long poem describe himself? The pipa girl is still holding her pipa, half-hiding her face, telling about the beauty of the past, but now, she is old and yellow, and the beauty is no longer there… This is a reflection of herself.

Zhang Heling, who was chewing the leg of lamb, couldn’t help but his eyes were wet and he was about to cry. He decided to collect the nearly chewed leg of lamb, wrap it in lotus leaves, and take it back to his brother to eat.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were hiding aside to play chess.

The two of them were both bad chess players, half a catty against eight ounces, and with surprisingly poor chess skills, they were so indistinguishable that Zhang Maoren and others who were watching the battle with great interest were so angry that they vomited blood. I wish I could kick Fang Jifan or Zhu Houzhao away and let me come.

Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jin, one stood silently behind Fang Jifan, the other with a smile on his face, kept praising: “His Royal Highness, this step is really good, wonderful, wonderful. Oh, this step of the Lord is really amazing.” Unexpected. “

No one knows which side Liu Jin is on, and I’m afraid he doesn’t even know.

Chen Tianjin and several people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment sat on the other side stupidly, saying nothing.

In fact, they were scared, and they were extremely frightened. The three-day review was shocking, terrifying, so terrible. Only then did they realize that they seemed to have come to the wrong place and held the wrong official position. This was like being used as a weapon.

So my mind went blank, and all I could think about was how to get out, how to draw a clear boundary, but now I’m stuck here again, and I can’t think of anything to do.

Mou Bin folded his hands and leaned in a corner. There was no light here, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness. Those eyes, with the help of the darkness, all the sharp edges were covered up.

The hurried footsteps finally came: “Your Majesty has an order.”

Fang Jifan, who was about to lose, was overjoyed when he heard this. He wiped the chessboard with his hand and messed up: “Okay, let’s get down to business, get down to business.”

Zhu Houzhao got angry and chirped. He

hummed and said: “Old Fang, you are cheating again.”

He pointed at Fang Jifan and said to Ouyang Zhi: “You have seen everything. Your mentor is cheating. He is obviously going to lose, right?”

Ouyang Zhi was dumbfounded. He stood there with no reaction on his face, as if he had gone into a fugue. He was silent for a long time and did not answer.

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth, he was from the same group, and said: “Liu Banban, you tell me.” After

Liu Jin had been tested for a long time, he decided that before being beaten, he took out a broad bean from his sleeve and threw it into his mouth as quickly as possible. , after chewing desperately, he said: “Yes or no.”

“What?” Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth.

Liu Jin said: “It’s nothing.”

Zhu Houzhao glared at him: “Say it again.”

Liu Jin quickly swallowed the broad beans and then knelt down: “Your Highness, you’d better just beat the slave.”

Fang Jifan said calmly: “His Royal Highness, how long has it been and you are still here worrying about winning and losing? Serious things are important. If His Highness the Crown Prince refuses to accept, then it will be regarded as my defeat.”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily. “No matter what, you were going to lose.”

At this time, a eunuch hurried in and said seriously: “Your Majesty has a decree, and all the envoys from the capital have requested, everything will be approved!”

Zhu Houzhao finally changed his words . He couldn’t

help but clenched his fists and said excitedly: “Father finally got the idea.”

Fang Jifan was also excited and said: “Sign the arrest warrant and search warrant, start immediately, make sure to catch them all, and don’t let any fish slip through the net. !”

Zhu Houzhao had already prepared it and winked at Liu Jin, who immediately brought a box.

When the box was opened, there were driving stickers and documents that had been prepared and waiting to be issued.

Zhu Houzhao took out a bunch of seals.

These are all small prints.

He rummaged through and found the seal of Beijing Inspector Chen Tianjin. He breathed a sigh of relief and stamped the seals one by one.

Chen Tianjin’s eyes widened when he saw it, and he quickly stepped forward: “Your Highness, why do you only cover one person?”

“This saves trouble. Such good things are done in no particular order. They are all the same as the imperial inspectors.”

Chen Tianjin opened his mouth and thought .

What to say, but my mind went blank.

He was so shocked.

The prince and the Duke of Qi are just messing around, but your majesty is so unscrupulous?

This… This is really not afraid of the sky falling.

The driving stickers and orders were stamped one after another, and then they were thrown directly to Liu Jin: “Distribute.”

“Yes.”

Zhu Houzhao sat down, then looked around: “The British Duke Zhang Mao.”

“I am here.” Zhang Mao stepped forward. salute.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Immediately sit in the capital camp and be ready for orders within twelve hours.”

“I have your orders.” Zhang Mao’s face was red and he looked in high spirits. He recalled the time when he won the golden belt when he was young. when.

Zhu Houzhao said: “The commander of the Jinyi Guards is Mou Bin.”

Mou Bin came out of the darkness, stood up straight, and saluted silently.

“Beizhen Fusi, assist the Beijing Police in the arrest. In addition, the prison of Nanzhen Fusi will be vacated, and the captured prisoners will be temporarily imprisoned here.”

Mou Bin only spit out one word: “Yes.”

Zhu Houzhao continued: “The police officers have worked hard for so long, and we, I’m afraid, have suffered a lot in the past few days. Now my father has issued an edict, hoping to use our hands to remove some stupid insects that harm the people. This is the trust that my father has in us. , I must not betray the Holy Grace, okay,

let’s all do our own thing and take action!” After receiving their respective orders and driving stickers, the various policemen set off immediately, and then directly transferred people to Shuntian Mansion or the factory guard. , that day…the capital was shocked…

no one expected…this time the Jingcha was so loud and violent.

These new born calves in Beijing, who are not afraid of tigers, seem to have endless energy and fearlessness.
