Jinyi champion

Yang Tinghe promised to come up with the result one day in the court.

But in fact, Yang Ting and himself are not very sure.

It can't be all kindness, and it can't be all prestige. It's easy to say both kindness and power, but how to control those scholars so that they don't go any further. Even he, a senior scholar of the first auxiliary university, is not very confident.

When Yang Tinghe went to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishments in person to discuss the countermeasures with Lin Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Lin Jun asked with some concern, "Is there someone secretly contributing to the flames?"

Lin Jun has a hot temper, but he is a veteran in the officialdom after all.

How could he fail to see that the emperor might be behind the scenes to push this matter?

Intimidating a group of scholars is troublesome enough. After all, in this era, scholars have the right to speak. Yang Tinghe and Lin Jun may be classified as "female cadres" by public opinion. That would be even more difficult.

Yang Tinghe said: "Didn't the Ministry of Punishment send people to take down some scholars who took the lead in making trouble? What did they say?"

Lin Jun sighed: "There is no punishment, and a confession can be obtained after a short questioning... They are also used by others. There are two cases. They found that they did not win the Jinshi. Coupled with the rumors outside, they believed it to be true. Under the influence of some people, So he took the lead in making troubles in the Gong Yuan and the Confucian Temple.”

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the status of scholars was very high.

Especially juren.

In this era, juren is already equivalent to an official lord. Ordinary people should kneel and kowtow theoretically when they see a juren.

"Call out all the files, I want to check them myself," Yang Ting said.

Lin Jun was very surprised: "Does Zhongtang really want to explain to those troubled scholars? In fact, there is no need for it. As long as more people are brought back, they can be completely suppressed."

Yang Tinghe sighed: "It's easy to control people, but it's hard to control people's hearts."

……

……

Yang Tinghe went to open the file in person, pretending to be serious about investigating the fraud case.

When Yang Tinghe was in the Ministry of Rites, digging into the test papers of the candidates, news came from outside that the Jinyiwei Yamen had sent someone over.

Mao Cheng, Minister of Rites, who accompanied Yang Tinghe to review the exam papers, said, "The visitor is not kind."

Yang Tinghe's handling of the case is also extraordinary.

Those who communicate with him are all senior officials of the Shangshu level, and the servants can only act as messengers, not to mention those who help carry and check the files. Most of them are doctors and chiefs. It's a great honor to do something in general.

After Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng came out to meet the visitor, they found that it was Zhu Chen, the Commander of Jin Yiwei.

"I've met Mr. Yang Ge."

Zhu Chen approached, clasped his fists and saluted.

Yang Tinghe frowned and asked, "You are..."

Zhu Chen said: "Your Majesty has an order to let the humble official assist Mr. Yang Ge to investigate the case. If there is a dispatch from any place, Jin Yiwei will obey the dispatch."

"Oh!?"

Yang Tinghe's expression was uncertain.

Mao Cheng said with a smile: "Commander Zhu, Your Majesty won't let you help arrest people, will you?"

Zhu Chen was very curious why Mao Cheng would say this, and respectfully said: "When your Majesty sent the humble officer here, he only told the humble officer that he should give his full assistance, and did not mention any other matters related to how to handle the case, saying that everything was under the orders of Elder Yang Ge. "

As soon as these words came out, Mao Cheng couldn't help laughing.

What does emperor mean?
It's fine if you don't make trouble behind the scenes, but you actually asked Zhu Chen to assist in the investigation without any confession?Do you still listen to Yang Tinghe?

If you just use the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate scholars, it will be effective, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice is controlled by civil officials after all, and arresting people will make people feel that Yang Tinghe is "revenging private revenge", but if Jin Yiwei is involved, the situation will be very different. However, those scholars are more afraid of the emperor and Jin Yiwei.

After the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested people, they didn't even dare to beat them. If they did, it would make Yang Tinghe's reputation worse.

But if it falls into Jin Yiwei's hands...

Just ask you troublemakers

Are you scared! ?

"it is good!"

Yang Tinghe said, "Then trouble Commander Zhu, go and bring some Hongru who are famous in the capital, as well as Guozijian Jijiu, as well as gentry leaders, representatives of troubled scholars, etc., to the Ministry of Rites, and the old man will personally submit all the examination papers Open it, and if they have any doubts, explain them together.”

……

……

The inner garden of the palace.

Zhu Hao hadn't left yet, this time he directly helped Zhu Si criticize the memorial in Qianqing Palace.

The two monarchs and ministers happened to be able to talk, and Zhu Si also wanted to know Zhu Hao's opinion on Yang Tinghe's way of doing things.

Zhu Si said that he learned how to govern the country from Zhu Hao, but in fact he always chatted with Zhu Hao, and he was laughing and laughing. The main reason is that he and Zhu Hao are too familiar, and now they share the same hatred and have a common enemy. Zhu Si has no grudge against Zhu Hao in his heart.

"...Jingdao, you said that the surname is Yang, how will you calm down the incident? The Jin Yiwei was transferred to him just to make it easier for him to arrest people?" Zhu Si asked.

Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin stood by and waited. Hearing this, they couldn't help looking at Zhu Si and Zhu Hao, the pair of monarchs and ministers who were sitting together.

Zhu Haodao: "Yang Ge is always a smart man, with Jin Yiwei backing him, what he has to do is to use Jin Yiwei to intimidate those scholars. Arresting people is what scholars think he will do, but in fact he will not do that , Let Jin Yiwei be by his side, and then explain something to others, the group of scholars will be more willing to listen."

"Ha ha."

Zhu Dada laughed, "I understand. If you put a knife on someone's neck, that person will listen to you obediently. Is that what you mean? Haha, it's so interesting."

Zhu Hao nodded: "That's the reason...Jin Yiwei provided it to Mr. Yang Ge to use it to put the knife on other people's necks."

Zhang Zuo laughed beside him and asked, "Then let the people from the Ministry of Punishments go, isn't it the same?"

This time without Zhu Hao returning, Zhu Si said, "Can it be the same? What is Jinyiwei for? For scholars, that is killing gods! And the Ministry of Punishment is the place where the law is taught. Even if scholars take the lead in making troubles, at most they will be punished." After being locked up for a few days, he was beaten with a board and then released, but if he entered Jinyiwei Prison, he might be ordered to go in but not to come out.”

In the past, when Zhu Si was just the eldest son, Zhu Hao told Zhu Si a lot about Jin Yiwei.

After all, Zhu Hao himself was born in a family of thousands of households in Jinyiwei, so he has more say in the operation process of Jinyiwei.

Under Zhu Hao's design, when Zhang Zhong went to Anlu, there was an incident of "poisoning" Prince Xing's son. At that time, Jin Yiwei participated in it, and Zhu Si felt that Jin Yiwei was lawless.

When Zhu Si took control of Jinyiwei himself, the dragon slaying warrior finally became an evil dragon. He would also use Jinyiwei to make waves, and it would intensify, but now that the court was deterred by Yang Tinghe, Zhu Si didn't dare to go too far.

Zhu Sidao: "I understand the truth, but Jingdao, what do you think Yang will do?"

Zhu Haodao: "It's actually not complicated. If there is any misunderstanding between him and the scholars, just make it clear. He should have been worried before. Even if he came forward to explain, those scholars would not listen. Even if he finds some highly respected people to stand up for him , the scholars outside will still make trouble. But now with the help of Jin Yiwei, it will be easier for him to speak clearly."

"What do you say?"

Zhu Si continued to ask.

"If he were the minister, he would call more people, and take out the test papers of people who have doubts from the outside world in public to see if they have been opened or marked in advance, and then check the test papers and look at their examination room. Let some people with outstanding talents make judgments on how they perform in the field." Zhu Hao said.

"Oh."

Zhu Si seems to understand but does not understand.

Zhang Zuo asked: "Then what if the scholars outside think that they are leaking the exam questions in advance?"

Zhu Haodao: "Those scholars are just asking for an explanation, it doesn't mean that they really feel that they have leaked their questions ahead of time. Now even the Shoufu University scholars have come forward, and Jin Yiwei is sitting in the town, giving both kindness and power. If there are still people making trouble, then Mr. Yang Ge can go public Establish a rule, unless someone has solid evidence to prove that someone has taken the question in advance, otherwise... all will be brought to justice.”

Zhang Zuoxiang

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's a good strategy."

Zhu Si smiled and said: "Although the strategy is good, if I hadn't lent him the Jin Yiwei, would it have been possible? He thought that being the chief assistant, he would be able to control the situation? Don't we still have to rely on me?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Zuo is flattering.

Zhu Si looked at Zhu Hao again: "All this time, in order to buy people's hearts, the surname Yang is so cheap, right? I heard that his son passed the Jinshi exam. After that, won't he have another helper in the court?"

Zhu Hao said: "Yang Yongxiu is in the Imperial Academy. He has been in the court for so many years. How much can he help his father? His Majesty really doesn't have to worry too much about such a young dude who has just entered the court. After all, Yang Ge is always in the court. ...I don't think there will be many days left."

"well."

Zhu Si couldn't stop laughing, "With Jingdao here, what you do is to make me feel at ease and fun. In the past six months, Jingdao, you are often not in the capital, and I have no one to talk to. From now on, you will do things well for me, and wait for the surname Yang I’m leaving, I will let you join the cabinet and make you the chief assistant!”

……

……

Zhu Si wanted to promote Zhu Hao as chief assistant. He had already said many times, and Zhu Hao had also refused before.

But Zhu Si may feel that there is nothing to reward Zhu Hao, so he keeps using the position of chief assistant as a cover. He also wants to be a smart hunter, catch a bone with a stick, and let Zhu Hao fight for it.

He still learned this method of drawing big cakes from Zhu Hao.

Because Zhu Hao emphasized strict rewards and punishments in his teaching since he was a child, and he often used some things that he liked as introductions to let him study hard in order to get rewards.

These are all means of doing things that are gradually mastered by deaf ears.

Zhu Hao stayed in the palace for only two hours before leaving the palace.

Zhang Zuo was supposed to send him off, but he was afraid that Zhang Zuo's goal would be too big to be noticed by others, so Zhu Si asked Huang Jin to send him off.

But in fact, Huang Jin, as the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, has no small goals wherever he goes.

"...Sir, I haven't seen His Majesty laughing like this for a long time. You should come to the palace more often." Unlike Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin is rigid and cautious, but occasionally gets emotional and understands the world.

Compared with Zhang Zuo who pretends to be a good guy everywhere, he looks much more serious.

Huang Jin is a person who can keep his head down and do things.

Zhu Hao said: "The place of the imperial palace, it's better not to come here. It's good to be able to help His Majesty in the future, but if you can't help...it will all depend on you, Eunuch Huang."
