high official

Chapter 446 The Decree
Even when the power of later generations reached its peak, the cabinet was still the emperor's secretarial body in name.In the current Yongle Dynasty, the cabinet is far less powerful than later generations. Not only in name, but in fact it is also the emperor's secretariat.Therefore, the value room of the cabinet is located in the east side hall of Da Nei Wenyuan Pavilion, which is low-lying and narrow, exposed to the sun in summer and cold in winter, and the working conditions are very difficult.

In winter, a few bachelors simply huddled together to work in one room, for the convenience of communication and discussion, and for the warmth of the huddle.At this moment, the four cabinet scholars, Hu Guang, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Jin Youzi, stood face to face, staring at a freshly opened report on the table.

Naturally, the report was the one that had just arrived urgently from Eight Hundred Li in Shanxi and was transferred to the cabinet by the emperor.It has been unpacked at this moment, and one by one is pressed with paperweight and jade stones in order, and placed on the big case.The contents in it were read by several academicians, and Hu Guang read it the slowest. After the other three finished reading, they all looked at Mr. Shoufu, waiting for his opinion.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shoufu thought for a while and had to open his mouth, but he recited the "Book of Songs" and said: "Shuo Shu Shuo Shu, I can't eat millet! Three-year-old girl, I don't care about it." This poem also It has been sung for more than 2000 years, but it is a pity that the rats are beaten every year, and they can’t be beaten every year. Corrupt officials are killed, and there are corrupt officials. The New Year has come to a successful end."

The rest of the three felt bored for a while. The chief assistant had nothing to say about his talent, but he lacked a bit of character. After Xueshi Xie was imprisoned, he completely lost his integrity.Report good things instead of bad things, and any bad things can be turned into good things.He obviously investigated and dealt with the biggest corruption case in the Yongle Dynasty so far, but in his mouth, it has become the achievement of the court, which is nothing short of credit.

"Yuanfu said so." Yang Rong resisted the tiredness: "Then according to Yuanfu's meaning, how should the ticket be issued?"

"Strictly deal with it according to the law. In this memorandum, Zhang Chun, He Zhucai and others are listed one by one for various crimes such as colluding with bandits and embezzling ink and military food. The interrogation is detailed and the evidence is solid. The criminals are escorted to Beijing and handed over to Dali Temple for review. Severe punishment will do."

"..." Seeing that the three of them were silent, Hu Guang said a little displeased, "What's wrong with issuing tickets like this?"

"Sure." Jin Youzi forced a smile, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi also nodded with their beards twisted. The emperor didn't even look at such a big case, so he asked the cabinet to issue a ticket, which in itself showed that the emperor lost interest in investigating it further.Then there is nothing to say, the tickets are issued in a satisfactory manner.

"Then why didn't you say anything?" Hu Guang frowned.

"Yuanfu, there's really no way to talk about this case, so I have to not talk about it." Yang Rong is an honest person, and said with a wry smile: "Let's get over this in a daze, and quickly turn over this page to deal with it."

Only then did Hu Guang understand why the three of them were waiting for him to speak. It turned out that none of them wanted to be labeled as "flattery and unprincipled".I couldn't help but blame myself secretly, why should I talk so fast, I should ask them what they mean first.But the words had already been uttered, and it was hard to take back the water, so he had no choice but to say with a straight face: "I think this case has been handled very well, and there is no limit to it if it is further raised. To govern a big country is like cooking a small fish, there is no need to rush, and if you are in a hurry, it will be ruined." .”

"So let's leave a hole." Shou Fu said so much, and Yang Shiqi had to say, "Ting Ji, the imperial envoy who investigates the case, can't just praise him blindly. He must make persistent efforts and dig deeper. Bad guy."

"Can Wang Xian continue to investigate?" Hu Guang frowned.

"Whether to investigate is his business, but the imperial court has not made a final decision on this matter." Jin Youzi continued: "In this way, if the situation changes in the future, the emperor will not be passive."

"That's exactly the reason." Yang Rong nodded and said, "It is estimated that he will not continue to investigate, but it is always good to leave a foreshadowing, and it can also show that our cabinet has not been fooled."

"Let's do it this way, Shiqi, you write the bill, Youzi, you write the court post, and I go out for a while." Hu Guang waved his sleeves, and left a little unhappy. growing estranged.The reason is also very simple. When the prince was in danger this year, he habitually shrank his head again.Others fought hard for the prince, and even when he was imprisoned, he became a silent gourd, and even attended the chrysanthemum poetry meeting held by King Zhao.It is very disdainful to make a clear stream.

As soon as Hu Guang left, the eyes of the three of them showed excitement, and Jin Youzi hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness the Crown Prince can be free this time!"

"It should be possible." Yang Rong Nianxu nodded with a smile and said, "The Shanxi military ration case has been solved, and the suspicion of the prince has been cleared. What reason does the emperor have to doubt the prince?"

Only Yang Shiqi was not excited, the two looked at him and said, "Brother Shiqi? Are we wrong?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Yang Shiqi sighed: "Although we don't pursue it this time, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Han Wang Zhao Wang, but in fact, the two princes have lost face. When it is more serious, the emperor may also be suspicious of them. gone."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but they won't remain indifferent." Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "I'm worried that they will organize another attack against the prince. Your Highness, the prince, can't bear this blow."

"It is necessary to be careful." Jin Youzi nodded and said: "But you can't be so scared that you can't sleep. Since they can't move them this time, they must make moves. Soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them."

"En." Yang Shiqi nodded, frowning tightly. He also knew very well that the most difficult days for the crown prince were about to pass, but the most dangerous thing was the darkness before dawn. There was an unprecedented emptiness around the crown prince!
.

The cabinet quickly proposed to submit the ticket. After Zhu Di looked at it, he approved it as red, threw it back to Yang Rong who was on duty, and said, "Don't forget the one who wrote novels in the Imperial Academy! Faint and incompetent, as stupid as blind. If you participate, it will be even more sinful!"

"Follow the order!" Yang Rong responded.

"Re-draft the decree." The emperor had other decrees.

Yang Rong hurried to the big case, where there was always a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yang Rong quickly picked up the pen to dip in the ink, holding his breath and staring at the emperor.

"I was ordered by heaven to protect the country and the people. Liu Zijin in Guangling County has been entrenched for a long time, blocking traffic, and living in misery. The local government and army are not effective in suppressing them. Today's order..." The emperor paused and said: "The emperor Taisun Zhu Zhanji is the commander-in-chief, leading his troops to the north to suppress the rebellion, and the army will set off immediately after receiving the order, and there must be no violation!"

Listening to the emperor's words, Yang Rong was agitated for a while, and his hand that was as steady as a rock almost scribbled the words.The emperor finally chose to send his grandson to lead a young army to suppress the rebellion. What does this mean?It means that the suspicion of His Royal Highness has been cleared, and the emperor is giving the grandson a chance to avenge his shame!

After all, Jiulongkou was almost captured, which was really a great shame and humiliation to his grandson. Only by uncovering this page can he continue to hold his head up.

"Also," Zhu Di said slowly, "Jinyiwei's Qianhu Wangxian is capable of handling errands, and he is really a talent. I am only a talent, and I don't hesitate to promote him. I was promoted to Jinyiwei Town Fushi, and I temporarily returned to the grandson's account. .”

"Yes," Yang Rong replied, quickly drafting the second order.

"Furthermore, Zhao Changzhen, the magistrate of Fenyang County, was upright, did not evade the axe, refused to join forces with his superiors, secretly collected evidence of crimes, and was eventually killed. His intentions can be described as loyal and upright, which is actually a sign of the officials. The special order rewards the title of magistrate, The internal funds were used to bury him generously, and he was named the City God of Fenyang to continue to protect the people..." The emperor said with a sigh: "A good man does not live long, and he will be harmed for thousands of years... Take these ten words exactly as they are. Engraved on the stele of Zhaozhi County, it can be regarded as his epitaph given to him."

"Yes..." Emperor Yongle is such a great emperor full of personality, there are many more outrageous things than this, Yang Rong has long been used to it.

"That's it." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he turned his attention to other places. He was the emperor of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to always focus on Shanxi.

.

After receiving the order, Zhu Zhanji jumped three feet high, and he was convinced by his father... His face was calm, but he knew it better than anyone else.Quickly changed into court clothes, and entered the palace to bid farewell to the emperor's grandfather.

Zhu Di also happened to be having lunch, so he ordered his grandson to add a pair of chopsticks and asked Zhu Zhanji to eat with him.Looking at his beaming grandson, Zhu Di couldn't help making fun of him: "Finally, it's not a forced smile?"

"Grandson is forced to smile, but it's not what Grandpa Huang thinks..." Zhu Zhanji smiled embarrassedly: "It's just that the scene of Jiulongkou keeps circling in my mind, and I really can't laugh."

"Well, only when you know your shame can you be brave." Zhu Di's expression also became solemn and said: "You have to suffer and gain wisdom, and you can't be reckless in the future."

"Grandson remember it." Zhu Zhanji nodded heavily.

"The Bailian rebel bandits in this attack are helpless even the elite soldiers from the second town of Datong, Xuanfu, are you confident?" Zhu Di's appetite was very small. After eating a small bowl of rice, he began to drink soup.

"Grandson is confident." Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said, "In my humble opinion, Bailian's rebellion is hard to get rid of. The fact is that it is not because of its own strength, but because the civil, military and princes of Shanxi are tied to each other and are intricately intertwined. Only then did the thieves take advantage of it. Now the grandfather of the emperor has controlled civil and military affairs for his grandson, suppressed the prince, and the bandit leader Liu Zijin is nowhere to be found. The rebel bandits in Guangling County are at a time when there is no leader. At this time, a large army raided , it will definitely work with one blow!"

"Hehe, good." Zhu Di said approvingly, "I can see Grandpa Huang's painstaking efforts. You have indeed grown in the past six months. Yes, the Bailian rebels are now weak and weak. This is a good opportunity for your grandson to stand up. !" But he said with a more serious tone: "But the more this happens, the more cautious you are, if the gutter capsizes, even if I don't blame you? Do you still have the face to come back to see me?"

"Shameless." Zhu Zhanji shook his head firmly and said, "If my grandson makes the same mistake again, I can only die to thank the emperor!"

"Don't say unlucky things." Zhu Di shook his head again and said, "You still have to take care of yourself and come back safely."

"Yes, my grandson will remember it!" Zhu Zhanji responded respectfully.Emotionally said: "Grandpa Huang should also take care of the dragon body, don't stay up late, get more rest."

"Well, we two take care of each other." Zhu Di was also a little emotional, looking at his grandson who was carved out of the same mold as himself, he was like an ordinary grandfather, feeling a lot of reluctance and concern for his grandson who was about to go on an expedition.
