Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 496 Yuan Bin Released Without Torture
The prison officials announced that Jin Ying and Xing'an would be thrown into the mountains to feed the wild dogs, and then they packed up and left.

Seeing that the excitement was over, officials and common people prepared to disperse and go home.

At this moment, a large group of Jinyiwei entered the small square in front of Daming Gate, and the leading Qianhu loudly ordered Yang Xun to accept the order.

Seeing that the emperor had finally responded, the officials and common people cheered up and continued to watch.

Although Zhu Qiyu became a monk halfway, as an emperor, his prestige among the people in the capital is not low at all.Although the decree was for Yang Xun, the officials and the common people knelt down on the ground, quietly waiting to hear the decree.

The eunuch who delivered the decree didn't say much, and read it directly.

As soon as the imperial decree was read, the officials and the people shouted for the Holy Spirit.

Zhu Qiyu did not meet Yang Xun, so he made a verdict directly: Yuan Bin was acquitted, and he had contributed to dissuading Emperor Gongrang from rebelling, and was promoted to be the commander of the capital and responsible for guarding Nangong.

Yang Xun played a speech, righteousness and integrity, and gave a hundred silver coins.He also ordered that one side of the lacquer and gold curtain be made every year to be presented on the Longevity Festival of Emperor Gongrang, and the cost of raw materials will be paid by Qi Wangfu.

Yang Xun was quite surprised when he heard the decree.The emperor simply compromised like this?And let yourself make a lacquered gold screen for Emperor Gongrang every year?The labor and materials are all paid by Qi Wangfu, so that means that I can get hundreds of taels of silver from it every year?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Without waiting for Yang Xun to think about it, the eunuch passing the decree pointed to a commander in brocade clothes next to him and shouted to everyone: "The one next to me is Yuan Bin, the commander and fellow acquaintance. Publicly acquitted.

Please distinguish and understand, and don't spread rumors. "

Yuan Bin also took a step forward and bowed deeply to the crowd: "Thank you all for your concern, the official was indeed acquitted after a simple interrogation at Jinyiwei.

My emperor is sage, who can clearly distinguish right from wrong, please don't listen to rumors. "

As soon as these words came out, the place below suddenly boiled.It turned out that everyone thought that Yuan Bin was tortured in Jinyiwei Prison and suffered all kinds of torture.

But now Yuan Bin stood in front of the crowd in person, with bright clothes and a radiant look, obviously he did not look like he had been tortured.

Well now, the truth is out, everyone has misunderstood the emperor.

Yang Xun didn't think about it until now, and when he recalled the imperial decree just now, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat: "The emperor boasted that he was righteous and virtuous in the imperial decree."Thinking about it now, it's called praise, but it implies ridicule. The key point is that ordinary people can't hear it, but I understand it, but I can't express it.

There is righteousness and integrity, which means that he has righteousness and is willing to risk his life to defend Yuan Bin.

But loyalty, loyalty, and righteousness are often associated with loyalty.

However, in the imperial decree of the emperor, it only mentions righteousness, not loyalty. The implicit meaning is that since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma.

If one has a sense of loyalty and a good reputation, but falls into the unjust position of the king and father, and is misunderstood by the people and subjects, this is disloyalty.

It is an extremely serious accusation to be a citizen of Ming Dynasty but not be loyal to one's monarch father. '

Yang Xun couldn't care less about wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, but fortunately the emperor was extremely generous, so he just mocked a few words secretly, and that's all.

Now that Yuan Bin is standing in front of many people in the capital, the rumors are self-defeating.His Majesty the Emperor is magnanimous, magnanimous, discerning, and a true sage.

This is the way of doing things before you want to promote, first let the people think that the emperor is mean, and then use facts to prove that everyone has wronged the emperor.One depression and one promotion can enhance the emperor's evaluation in the hearts of the people.

Yuan Bin went up to thank Yang Xun, and sent Yang Xun home in person.

The officials and the people dispersed separately.

……

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu drank tea leisurely and listened to the two concubines report on the general affairs.

Qianxue handed over two memorials: "Husband, please take a look, Yuan Bin thanked you for your gratitude, and attached the memorial of Yang Xun's plea, which was delivered early in the morning."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Hmph, what kind of crime are they asking for, what kind of favor are they thanking, anyway, they are loyal to the Emperor Gongrang, but they are not loyal to me.

I don't bother to pay attention to what they say, and it's a waste of my precious feelings to read this playbook. "

Qian Xue said with a smile: "Yang Xun pleaded guilty quite sincerely."

"What's the use of sincerity? I was also sincere when I committed a crime. I was also sincere when I went to condolences at the home of the dead Xungui in Tumubao. I was also very sincere when I knelt outside Xizhimen to greet the emperor and let the emperor return to Beijing. I was also very sincere. I didn't see anyone who could be moved.

Take care of yourself, these days, no one can move anyone. "

Hearing this, Qianxue changed the subject, and praised with admiration: "Your husband is a god, how can you take care of Beizhen Fusi and order him to be kind to Yuan Bin while you are taking care of everything.

Yuan Bin was not subjected to any torture, which was unexpected by everyone.Therefore, when Yuan Bin appeared in front of everyone, he could instantly reverse the wind direction.

Not only did the husband's reputation not suffer the slightest damage, but he also won a lot of hearts. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I have been waiting for them here for a long time. Not only Yuan Bin was not punished, but even Ma Liang, because he was sent by Emperor Gongrang to sacrifice Jingling during the mutiny, I turned a blind eye. Let him go.

However, these small fights are only suitable for accumulating over a long period of time. In the final analysis, the most important thing is to firmly grasp the military power.

Now the army in the capital is mainly composed of two battalions and two guards, Xiaoqi Battalion, Shenji Battalion, Tiance Guard, Yingzhou Guard, these are my people.

The only one out of control was Jin Yiwei.

It is still necessary to reduce Jinyiwei to death, and it will not work if it is not reduced.If the tens of thousands of people in Jin Yiwei supported and respected the emperor's restoration, there would still be a chance of a comeback.

There have always been only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.I suppressed Beijing Jinyiwei to 5000 people to see how they rebelled. "

"Where do you want to start?"

"First, dismantle the six military craftsman Qianhu Office under Jinyiwei and assign it to Tiancewei.

Then Jin Yiwei, who participated in the mutiny, was killed and no longer filled the vacated positions, reducing the number of places by several thousand.

Another group of people will be sent to various provinces to serve as detective captains.

You see, there is nothing we can do. After just a few words, it turns to Sanyang's head again.These bastards fired all the good detective captains, and ended up wandering around Shanxi as if they were in their own gardens. It's funny to think about it. "

Qianxue asked again: "The eight eunuchs including Pei Dang and Fu'an that my husband transferred from Nanjing have arrived. When will you meet?"

Mentioning this, Zhu Qiyu finally became happy: "See you, see you tomorrow morning, let them have dinner at noon, let's set it up at Qingyanfang."

"Oh, these people have a lot of face. It's the first time that they can see the Longevity Mountain on the left and Kunming Lake on the right."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's not an outsider, these are eunuchs who have been with me since childhood, much earlier than Wang Cheng and the others.

This is the group of the most loyal ones. Think about it, when the Sun family was powerful, they didn't turn to the Sun family and helped kill me. You can see how sincere they are. "

"Then the power of the inner court will be redistributed?"

"Yes, but don't worry, you have to ask the ministers to write a letter asking for the dismantling of the factory guards. I will take advantage of the trend to cut the inner factory and the western factory, and then make a thorough adjustment to the 24 supervisory bureaus of the inner court.

Since then, the inner court has stabilized, and there will be no large-scale personnel changes.

However, Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin can also get the best share. They are all our confidantes, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. "
