Jinyi Night Walk

Xu Ming'er puffed up her chest and said, "Of course. Although I, Xu Ming'er, belong to my daughter's family, I also know the principle of repaying favors. It's evil, the Yang family is really deceiving people too much. Yes, Mr. Huang, Yang Xu wasn't called Yang Xu at the time, but his name was Xia Xun. If he hadn't come to my house for help this time, I wouldn't have known about this Yang Xu. It's Xia Xun from Beiping, I really don't understand why he changed his name."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I'm not a god, how could I know? I'll ask about this later."

Zhu Yuanzhang was talking, but he was thinking anxiously in his heart: "A ten-and-a-half girl should not lie in front of me. From what I know, Xia Xun and Xu Zengshou really don't look like they are friendly. From this point of view, it was indeed because of Ming'er that Yang Xu was able to climb into the Xu family. If so, then it doesn't matter.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, what worries him the most is that the courtiers will fight in groups with ulterior motives, and use this opportunity to form cliques, form cliques for personal gain, and divide factions, thereby controlling the court and shaking the imperial power. Especially at this time, he is gradually handing over power to the emperor's grandson , need the stability of the imperial court even more, this is an overriding general strategy.

The people behind Yang Xu's lawsuit, one is the Taifu, and the other is the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. Once the contest starts, more and more officials may be involved, which will lead to an unstoppable turmoil. From this point of view, how do you know that Yang Xu's case is not a flag thrown by some conspirator?If the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is only because the little princess owes him a favor, it is not a big deal, so there is no need to be too cautious.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in on tiptoe, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him" and said to Xu Ming'er, "Go and see Baoqing, that girl likes you the most, and she was chanting your name two days ago. "

Xu Ming'er agreed and ran out.Princess Baoqing is the youngest nun of Zhu Yuanzhang. She is not yet four years old this year. The little princess is very bored in the deep palace. She really likes Xu Minger, the lively young lady the most.

When Xu Ming'er went out, the kind and peaceful expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual coldness: "What's the matter?"

The little servant didn't dare to breathe too loudly, hooked his chin, and said in a soft voice: "Return to the emperor!" There was news from outside the palace, and the students said that the five-army commander's mansion was unfair, so they carried the injured Yang Chong to the Imperial College first. , followed by the Gong Yuan "The Ministry of Rites, and blocked the street to express their feelings to the censor, and now went to the Confucian Temple to cry..."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and a wave of anger rose up.He has a strong character, and he has always kept his word and acted arbitrarily." The Tai students were creating public opinion and forcing the court to make concessions to them, which immediately aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's strong resentment.

Provoking the imperial power is the most intolerable thing for Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he loves his people, his ultimate starting point cannot be because the world is public, but for the stability and long-term of the world. A group of Tai students gathered to make trouble Forget it, but if there is another person behind them, what is the purpose of this person?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget that Huang Zicheng, who appeared in Yang Xu's case like a surprise, is the grandson of the current emperor's grandson. His every move may affect the future emperor. If there is another political purpose here, It cannot be ignored.

Zhu Yuanzhang governed the country with one Confucianism and one Law, combining rigidity and softness, and advancing hand in hand.

One Wen, one Wu, strive for balance, do not want to weaken either side.The way of balance is not only reflected in the power of the emperor, but also the key to governing the country, regulating the family and the world. Now the Korean, Chinese and military forces can achieve a delicate balance, which is the result of his painstaking efforts over the years.These are the two pillars supporting the Great Tomorrow. If one is too strong, or the other is too weak, there is a danger of the building overturning.

Considering the weakness of the emperor's grandson Wen, the future emperors will continue their careers and rely more on civil officials. In the future, the power of Chinese officials will inevitably increase, and eventually the embarrassing situation in the Southern Song Dynasty will inevitably appear. Zhu Yuanzhang also consciously made the current Wuchen group maintain a stronger power than the civilian group, so that in the future, one will ebb and flow, and the balance of civil and military forces can be maintained in a longer period of time.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a man of great talent and strategy, and every step he takes is actually carefully considered. You may think that it is not the most mature and scientific method, but it must have Zhu Yuanzhang's own considerations and reasons.He opened the stereotyped examination to obtain scholars, not to strengthen the civil official group, but in fact to control the civil official group.

It's just that although the idea is good, the actual effect is not good, because he can't do everything by himself, and it is still civil officials who actually control the right to select talents. In this case, the only way to prevent the civilian power from becoming too strong is to ensure the existence of the military attache group.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's worries were not unreasonable. The rapid growth of the power of civil servants in the following hundreds of years did make the emperor empty. They dreamed of making the emperor a "sage king" who would do nothing. The civil service group is engaged in a fierce power struggle.Ming Wuzong, Ming Shizong, Ming Shenzong...

They were dismissed by civil officials as absurd, but the essence behind the appearance was actually a struggle for power.This kind of internal friction is of no benefit to the country, and the dominance of the civil official group has indeed caused serious consequences. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's will to never increase taxes, the Ming Dynasty never increased taxes for the rest of the Ming Dynasty. The lowest dynasty.

But the people are still suffering, one of the important reasons is that the civil official group is its class and its backup group: all the scholars who have achieved fame, as well as the gentry class greedily strive for welfare, do not pay taxes, do not serve, but they are still the richest As a result, there are more and more rats, and the responsibility of supporting the entire world can only fall on the poorest people in the end.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while with his hands behind his back, his expression slowly became serious. He had to figure out what role Huang Zicheng played in it, and how much this turmoil had to do with him. In order for him, the grand tutor, to hold power in the future and let the civil servant group dominate and build momentum, this poisonous weed must be pulled out.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly stood up, and said to the little eunuch, "Xuan, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Kedi, see you!"

Xiao Qianyue and Xia Xun were sitting near the window of a tea house at the foot of Jilong Mountain, sipping tea slowly, and looking at a house not far from the window.

Xiao Qianyue said leisurely: "Did you see it? It's here."

Xia Xun nodded: "Well, he was beaten up just now, and I'm afraid he won't come out for a while. But after her sweetheart was beaten up, she will definitely find a way to see him as soon as possible, so..." Staring at him, he It's just Pi Ran's injury. A young and strong man will recover in a short time. "

Xiao Qianyue chuckled, sipped tea and said, "Okay, then when will we do it?"

Xia Xun said: "Have you found out everything about Yang Jiahua?"

Xiao Qianyue said: "Not yet, someone has already gone to the Ministry of Households to check on Yang Rong's grain requisition and customs clearance. This is different from the past. We can't do it in a big way. It will take some time."

Xia Xun said: "Succeed, the preparations over there are ready, let's do it here."

With that said, Xia Xun drank dry tea and stood up, Xiao Qianyue also stood up, and walked out, saying: "Master Luo appreciates you very much, it is not that there is no manpower around you now, but there are few handy ones around you." People. So, after finishing this matter, my lord intends to keep you as an errand in the commanding department of the capital.

You used to work in Qingzhou, in case King Qi heard the news and became suspicious, you just took advantage of these two cases and said to the outside world that you were introduced by the Zhongshan Palace, and Master Luo gave you this official status. Make a new book for you.If the emperor asks, you can't be so sloppy, your lord will mention to the emperor that you have done things for Prince Qi..."

Xiao Qianyue laughed, and whispered in his ear: "All princes have their own ways to make money. The emperor is not ignorant, but the emperor loves his son and deliberately pretends to be confused. You won't mention anything else. It is only said that it is inconvenient for the palace to do business, and you will take care of it all. Because of this relationship, my lord will sell Prince Qi's face and give you a background for a retired person. The emperor is a smart person and will not ask more questions .Otherwise, if some scandal of the prince is revealed, the emperor will not be able to pretend even if he wants to."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qianyue's smile faltered suddenly, and a strange expression slowly appeared on his face. Xia Xun already felt it. Seeing his strange look, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qianyue took a breath slowly, and said with a half-smile: "It's interesting, someone is staring at the tip of our Jin Yiwei!"

Xie Yuli had never believed that Xia Xun would ignore the humiliation of her parents' coffin being dug out of her ancestral grave, so she had been secretly watching Xia Xun's every move.

In fact, she has nothing to do with Xia Xun now. She could have stayed out of it, but she still came.Is it because of Xia Xun's sympathetic and understanding gaze in Beijing, who died for his confidant?Or was it because Xia Xun willingly accepted her unwarranted accusations, obediently broke off the engagement, saved her face, and repayed her kindly?Or was it because Xia Xun was not allowed to discuss another marriage within three years, which gave her a glimmer of hope?

She also couldn't understand her exact thoughts. She had a clear purpose in everything she did before, but this time, she didn't.

She disguised herself and sneaked behind Xia Xun, when she suddenly saw Xia Xun and Xiao Qianyue flashing into the crowd, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, but just after taking two steps, she suddenly felt a warning: " No! There is fraud in it!"

Xie Yuli immediately turned around, and also flashed into the crowd, Hong Fei disappeared without a trace.

However, the female snitch is very skilled, so is the secret spy in Jinyi a vegetarian?Xia Xun and Xiao Qianyue stared closely at her looming figure, and a backtracking began...! ~!
