Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 231 Debate at the Imperial College (1)

The Institute of Integrity specially set up by Zhu You's school has already become a blockbuster without even making a sound. It sent summonses all over Beijing. This was called a summons, but it was actually an arrest operation. It caused a storm in the city.

However, few people know that among the people arrested by Cui Chengxiu, the Secretary of the Institute of Integrity, under heavy pressure, some of them have nothing to do with the Cangchang case, but are related to the previous Baoding wage riot. These people were arrested and arrested by the Institute of Integrity. Not long after he arrived at the hospital office, he was taken away by another group of people.

Cui Chengxiu was very sensible and did not interfere.

And in the context of the high-profile summons by the Integrity Commission, no one knows that there are still a group of people who do not need to show their driving status, but are being arrested collectively.

It involves the Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing and Wanping two counties in Guojing County, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, the warehouses in Beijing, the grain office in Tongzhou, and the warehouses in Tongzhou and other government agencies.

Subordinate officials, this special and large group that is passed down from father to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, are no longer holding an iron rice bowl.

But his mother's gold-encrusted bowl.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, the household registration system and the health system established in the early Ming Dynasty were good strategies in line with the special background of the early Ming Dynasty. They effectively stabilized the local order, especially the old northern lands recovered from Yuan Tan, allowing China to They were unified again, but as time went by, they also became the dregs that destroyed the rule!
There is no system or policy in this world that can be implemented once and for all. As society develops, it is necessary to assess the situation and make adjustments, otherwise good governance will eventually turn into bad governance.

What disgusts Zhu Youxiao most is the so-called conservative thinking.

This is definitely not a matter of Confucianism!

Instead, they have practiced the way of sages since childhood, and then changed their destiny through scientific research. After they truly entered the official career, they compromised with a larger group, and then gradually tampered with it, because unchanged means eternal interests, and change means eternal interests. Damage to the interests of.

Master Kong, who was capable in both literature and martial arts, if he knew that Confucianism was as virtuous as it is today, he would jump out of the coffin in anger and chop off all those self-proclaimed disciples of Confucianism with one knife after another.

Subordinate official.

For those who hold power and enjoy privileges, they usually don’t even take a second look at them. These are a group of handymen wearing so-called official uniforms and earning a meager amount of money. They are responsible for running errands, doing things, dealing with people and other chores.

But for the powerless people at the bottom, they are the biggest officials, because how can bigger officials be accessible to ordinary people?
The King of Hell is easy to provoke, and the kid is difficult to deal with.

These few words, which are widely circulated among the people, also express all the blood and tears.

In a sense, it was doomed that the imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the 13 provinces of the two capitals under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, injustices could happen all the time, or had already happened.

But how difficult it was for the imperial power to go to the countryside.

Governance by doing nothing means that the upper class will have less to worry about, which in turn will reduce the burden on the lower class.

Because it is not the upper levels that do the actual work, but the middle and lower levels of the ruling circle. Once the policies are deliberately misinterpreted, the blame will be all the fault of the lower levels.

It is precisely for this reason that since Zhu Youxiao Yuji came to the throne, he has rarely directly intervened in local affairs or expressed any opinions or remarks.

One abolishes Liao pay.

One will never be endowed.

This can effectively reduce the burden on the grassroots, so Zhu Youxiao did it, but even so, some people are still speculating on it.

This is the human heart.

This is human nature.

He just wanted to rule the Ming Dynasty well and bring order to the chaos, but he had to intervene in the local areas. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was gathering momentum and strategizing, leading around him as the core, gradually increasing his control over the local areas, and then re-evaluating the situation and selecting opportunities to implement the New Deal.

The New Deal is a battle between the old and the new, a battle between imperial power and ministerial power, a battle between the central government and local governments, a battle between the old and the new...

"Cui Chengxiu, you must die a damn good death!"

"Let me out!"

"Cui Chengxiu, I will definitely impeach you!"

"The little one is ready, the little one is all ready!"

"what!!!"

In the Office of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, various voices alternated continuously. As groups of people were arrested and entered into the Institute, the previous calm was gone and replaced by noise.

"Integrity, what are the identities of the people responsible for the custody?"

Li Kuilong followed Cui Chengxiu, thinking of the events of the previous two days, and expressed his doubts: "Is it related to the British public? When there was a pay riot in Baoding, it caused a commotion between the government and the public..."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't think about what you shouldn't think."

Cui Chengxiu stopped, frowned and looked at Li Kuilong, and said in a low tone: "Have you finished all the errands of the Institute of Integrity? Do you have other thoughts to think about these?"

"No."

Li Kuilong hurriedly explained: "Xiaoguan just finds it strange. When the British Duke returned to the capital, few people in the capital knew about it. In Baoding, Xiaguan heard that many people died, and not many people were captured in the capital. few."

"Just do your job."

Cui Chengxiu said: "Those who were unable to hold on were all taken into custody and interrogated individually. We don't have much time left."

"Yes."

Li Kuilong hurriedly lowered his head and said.

It seems that besides the factory guards and the Institute of Integrity, the Emperor also has other government agencies.

Looking at Li Kuilong's leaving figure, Cui Chengxiu narrowed his eyes slightly but began to think secretly in his heart.

In fact, Cui Chengxiu was also thinking about what Li Kuilong suspected, or even more, and this also gave Cui Chengxiu a sense of urgency in his heart.If the Integrity Institute fails to meet the emperor's expectations and loses the emperor's trust and reliance, the Integrity Institute will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Thinking of this, Cui Chengxiu turned and walked towards a detention place.

"Release me quickly!"

"What right do you have to imprison me!"

"Cui Chengxiu!!!"

The detention facilities set up by the Office of the Independent Commission Against Corruption are very different from the Penal Department Prison, Shuntian Mansion Prison, and even the Jinyiwei Prison. They are cramped rooms where criminals are detained with their hands and feet fixed on special chairs. There are no windows, and once the door is closed, there is nothing but darkness.

When people are in this kind of environment, their fear will gradually be amplified. Even if they are strong-minded, their psychological defenses will inevitably collapse if they are kept in confinement for a long time.

All the structures of the Institute of Integrity were determined by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao wants to be an official. Everyone knows that if anyone falls into the hands of the Institute of Integrity, death is a luxury. Don't talk about human rights when dealing with corruption!
Either don't be greedy at all, if you want to be greedy, pray not to be caught. As long as you are caught, you will have to bear all the costs!
……

When Cui Chengxiu was busy with the Office of Integrity in order to perform well and get the errands done as quickly as possible, he was driving a moving car somewhere in the capital.

"Your Majesty... Young Master, why do you want to come out to relax?"

Cao Bianjiao, who was wearing a brocade robe, subconsciously wanted to adjust his armor, but when he stretched out his hand halfway, he thought of something, looked up and said to Zhu Youxiao.

"how?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and said to Cao Bianjiao with a smile: "Do you want to leave Beijing and go to Baoding to relax, so that we two brothers don't need to relax?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Youjian.

"Master, I'm not going to relax, I'm going to do business."

Cao Bianjiao frowned.

"Yes, I heard that you killed many people with the British Lord."

Zhu Youjian on the side looked at Cao Bianjiao and said, "You dare to kill people with a knife at your age. I want to ask you, were you afraid at that time?"

"No...but I'm a little scared."

Cao Bianjiao looked proud, but immediately said: "I'm not afraid that it's fake, but when I think of those guys and the evil things they did before, I'm not afraid anymore. Fifth Young Master, you didn't follow me to Baoding. I don't know where it is." Case."

"Good kill!"

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly and said: "If you dare to do such a crazy thing, you should be killed."

"Hehe~"

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head.

"Master, no, Your Majesty, General, can I ask you something?"

At that time, Cao Bianjiao raised his hand and saluted with a serious expression.

"Say."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "You have made a great contribution by following the British Duke this time. Just ask for whatever you want."

"Your Majesty, could you please add another group of young men to the Yongwei Camp in Beijing?"

Cao Bianjiao said seriously: "Even if I am not called the last general to take charge, I can share your majesty's worries. If something happens, I will be the pioneer in the Jingyong Guard Camp."

Cao Bianjiao, who had not yet reached the championship, was not thinking about things for himself. When he thought about the performance of the Yongwei camp in Baoding, he was not very satisfied.

After accompanying the emperor on this tour and returning to the Xishan Camp, he will train those brave guards hard!

"can."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "While you were leaving Beijing under the imperial edict, I have ordered a group of brave guards to be stationed in various imperial villages on the outskirts of Beijing. After you return to the Xishan Camp, I will ask them to return to the camp. , the Yongwei camp in Beijing will still be under your command."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely train Yongwei Lang well and live up to your Majesty's expectations."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said nothing. He attached great importance to the cultivation of Cao Bianjiao. What a good seedling he had, he didn't want to raise Cao Bianjiao to waste.

If your growth environment has changed, you have to make up for it in other ways.

The military generals of the Ming Dynasty must build up three generations of old, middle and young people. Through reasonable training and promotion, one generation will withdraw from the stage of history, and the next generation must take over. This is the key to the continuous growth of the Ming army.

"Master, the Imperial Academy has arrived."

While they were talking, the driving car stopped slowly, and Han Zanzhou, who was outside, said respectfully. Outside the car, followed by a dozen Han generals, they changed into civilian clothes. As for the surroundings, there were a group of loyal and reliable forbidden soldiers. Guards, disguised as various identities and responsible for police patrols.

"Let's go."

Zhu Youxiao stood up with a smile and said to Zhu Youjian and Cao Bianjiao: "I heard that there will be a good show in the Imperial College recently, so let's go and have a look, so we can relax."

Zhu Youjian and Cao Bianjiao looked at each other and didn't say much else. They followed Zhu Youxiao out of the car and saw the bustling Imperial College. However, they were a little confused. What good show could there be in the Imperial College?
