little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 185 Emergency

As expected, the development of things depends on people's calculations, but they are completely different, just like clouds floating in the sky, changing rapidly and unpredictable.

At today's court meeting, Shen Yiguan's face was so ugly that everyone present owed him hundreds of taels of silver and did not pay back, and the same was true for another important Shen Li, so that today's court meeting had not yet started, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony seemed to be arrested. A strange and dull atmosphere was heavy and heavy, and there was a faint dullness that was about to come and wind filled the building.

Compared with the restlessness of the ministers below, Zhu Changluo, who was sitting on the chair, looked as if nothing had happened. With a smile on his face, he took in all the disturbed expressions of everyone, and suddenly remembered in his mind when he met Shen Shixing yesterday. , a conversation between the two.

"Loyal ministers are not necessarily capable ministers, and corrupt officials are not necessarily not capable ministers. There are many honest officials who are demanding on themselves and others in the court, but if it is said that an honest official can govern the country, it is not biased."

"Governing the country is based on benevolence first, supplemented by the law. It is necessary to combine strength and softness, but one cannot blindly attack with fire and fire. Too much haste can only backfire, and it is not good."

What Shen Shixing said was earnest, Zhu Changluo shook his head after thinking about it carefully, and did not fully agree with the point of governing the country with benevolence: "What Ge Lao said is very true, whether the human nature is good or evil at the beginning, even a sage can't tell." Clear, but there is one thing, the human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages has never changed. From Chang Luo's point of view, only by governing the people with the law, with clear rewards and punishments, can we determine divisions and stop disputes, and the people will live in peace."

One word is like a heavy hammer falling on a golden bell, rumbling and shaking the heart, which is thought-provoking.After Shen Shixing thought about it for a while, he suddenly got up and saluted, with a look of relief and excitement: "I hope that Your Highness will never forget this original intention. The Ming Dynasty will surely have a clear sea and a clean river, and the people will be strong and the border will be safe!"

Taking his mind back, Zhu Changluo looked at the stack of papers on the case, and flipped through them casually. As expected, they were all memorials to impeach Xiao Daheng for favoritism and fraud. Among them, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the most troubled. Needless to say, it was Shen Li's gang Turning around, it really is taking advantage of your illness to kill you.Calmly read the memorials one by one, stretched out his hand to greet Shen Yiguan, and pointed to the pile of memorials in front of him: "The matter of Daheng Xiao, how do Mr. Ge think it is appropriate to deal with it?"

Seeing the half-smile on the prince's face, the guilty Shen Yiguan already had sweat on his forehead. After thinking for a while, he bit the bullet and said in a low voice: "Although Xiao Daheng made mistakes, he is considered diligent in his daily life. Now the courtiers Ling Luo, the old minister wants to speak out for him, so he will be demoted and fined, can you keep him for inspection?"

Zhu Changluo remained indifferent, knocking on the table a few times with his slender fingers like jade, and Shen Yiguan's heart jumped a few times. Facing this handsome young prince who was getting taller and handsome, he saw a faint gleam in his eyes. When the disgust was imperceptible, Shen Yiguan's heart suddenly jumped extremely high, and an inexplicable panic filled his heart.

"It's nothing to say that a Xiao tycoon keeps it. I'm afraid that the elder Yu Ge's reputation will be hindered in his first life. It is for the country. Is it better to ask the elder to reconsider?"

The other party obviously smiled like a spring breeze and was amiable, but what he said was like being hit on the head with a brick, making Shen Yitong dizzy, a chill shot from the back of his feet to the sky, and even the friendly smile of the other party completely changed in his eyes. Taste... He has seen countless smart and wise people in his life, and now he has picked them up one by one from his heart, and compared them with the jade-like prince in front of him, all of them have become bricks and tiles.

He lowered his head and stared at the shiny gold bricks under his feet.Shen Yiguan suddenly thought that if he had obeyed the queen mother's wishes and kept the fifth prince's position, what would happen today?
...It's a pity that there is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow. There is no medicine for regret in the world. Shen Yiguan, who knew that the matter must be done, sighed, "His Royal Highness, Xiao Daheng neglected his duties and used his power for personal gain. The old minister begged His Highness to depose him and choose someone else."

All the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath, secretly thinking that this Shen Ge boss really turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He is the chief assistant of the cabinet and a big celebrity in front of the prince. No matter what, it’s okay to be transferred to another job, but no matter what, it’s like going through this to the end, and returning home naked.

Everyone in Shen Yiguan's cronies was chilled by the push, and Xiao Daheng was even ashamed and turned into a walking dead.

In the uproar of the courtiers, Ye Xianggao gently pulled Gu Xiancheng, lowered his voice and said: "This Master Shen is so cruel, Daheng Xiao is indeed wronged."

"Jinqing was wrong... Shen Yiguan is definitely not the cruel one." Gu Xiancheng and Ye Xianggao stood at the end of the court, looked up, Zhu Changluo's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, and suddenly chuckled "A strong man cuts his wrists and has to do it. If Shen Yiguan dares to protect Daheng Xiao today, I'm afraid even he himself will be hard to get rid of." After speaking, he glanced sideways at Shen Li, and finally landed on Zhu Changluo .

"According to what Shen Ge said, Xiao Daheng will be dismissed from office and will never be used again. He will receive thirty court sticks outside the Meridian Gate and leave Beijing to return to his hometown within three days."

Shen Yiguan visibly shivered, "Your Highness is wise."

Already completely panicked, Daheng Xiao couldn't stand anymore, he fell limply to the ground with a thud, and grabbed a few Jin Yiwei beside him, and dragged him out quickly with his hands and feet.

"Masters should take Xiao Daheng as an example. You will always have the intention of being loyal to the country in your heart. If you dare to give and accept privately and bend the law for personal gain, our Ming laws are not written for fun." Zhu Changluo stood up and glanced lightly at the officials. , wherever their eyes looked, all the ministers lowered their heads tremblingly.

"The Yaoshu case is not yet over, and the position of Minister of Criminal Affairs is indispensable..." Zhu Changluo's clear voice echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Yiguan and Shen Li's eyes lit up, thinking how important the position of the six ministers is, the official , Household, Ritual, Military, Penalty, and Labor, each has its own importance and division of labor. Although the Ministry of Punishment is ranked fifth, everyone knows that apart from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment is actually ranked in the top three.

Such a prominent and powerful position is naturally the target of any party in the current court.Shen has always been like this, and Shen Li is naturally like this. It is conceivable that the two of them are excited.

It's a pity that Zhu Changluo didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said in an unhurried voice: "Wang Shugu is upright and upright. He was recommended by Mr. Li, the censor of the Zuoqin capital, and praised him for being strong and strong. He does not flatter power, but he is worthy of praise. .”

There was an uproar among the ministers. Facing the strange eyes of the ministers, Li Sancai opened his mouth a few times, and secretly groaned in his heart. It was true that he was on the memorial, but he did not protect Wang Shugu as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... What the prince said , Li Sancai felt that he couldn't argue with anything, not only Shen Yiguan and Shen Li turned their scrutiny eyes over, but even the faces of Gu Xiancheng and Ye Xianggao had changed color.

For the ministers, although Wang Shugu had been mentally prepared for this time, he would definitely be promoted this time, but no matter how he thought about it, it would not be like this. A sixth-rank principal would suddenly become a second-rank minister?This is impossible!
Shen Yiguan's thoughts turned quickly, and he took a step forward and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Wang Shugu is only the head of the first and sixth ranks, and cannot take the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Your Highness, please think twice before acting."

Shen Li would not let him focus on the former: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister recommended Li Tingji, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Mr. Li as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Li is well-known, and he will not form a party for personal gain like Xiao Daheng, and waste the country's grace. "

These words were harsh and heart-wrenching, and Shen Yiguan's pent-up anger suddenly flared up, and he was about to retort, but Zhu Changluo suddenly lowered his face, and the vague smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth became cold With a voice like ice soaked in water: "My lords are worrying too much, and you are too impatient."

"Wang Shugu is just upright and upright, and he will be promoted to Shandong Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately. He will still preside over the case of Yaoshu; The post of soldier should be concurrently held by Datong General Soldier Ma Gui."

Langzhong started from the fourth rank, and Wang Shugu's promotion speed was indeed comparable to a rocket launcher, which can be described as reaching the sky in one fell swoop.

Although Xiao Ruxun is not an unknown existence among the courtiers, the rules of the Ming Dynasty have always been that the text is strong and the military is weak, and the emphasis is on using literature to control martial arts.In terms of official rank and conduct, the second-rank general soldier and the second-rank minister are on the same rank, but the meaning is quite different. As the chief soldier, Xiao Ruxun can only eat sand on the frontier, but once he becomes the minister of the Ministry of punishment, he will immediately enter It is not impossible for him to enter the cabinet if he has established the center of the power of the Ming court.

The ministers couldn't bear it any longer, and there was an uproar again.

Gu Xiancheng's eyes flickered, he seemed to understand what the young prince meant.It can be foreseen that from this moment today, the situation in the DPRK and China has begun to change, and the prince finally made a move.

Glancing at Shen Yiguan and Shen Li, Gu Xiancheng suddenly let out a long sigh. This is the battle between the crane and the clam, and the fisherman wins... Can't help but look at Ye Xianggao. From the bottom of each other's eyes, both of them can see The answer he wanted was that Gu Xiancheng thought about it a little further, and his brows were already tightly knit.

Li Ruzhang was a little moved, so he quietly gave Li Rusong a hand, and whispered: "Brother, this is such a good job, why doesn't His Royal Highness miss us? The fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields."

Li Rusong turned his head and glared at him, "Whisper! Did you just say that casually? An Sheng just watch."

"I spend every day here, why don't I go back to Liaodong!" Li Ruzhang shrank his head and muttered unconvinced. Since Ningxia came back from the rebellion, he has been staying in this capital for a few months. From the ice and snow to the spring flowers Hey, after Prince Rui became the crown prince, he never responded positively to his father's request. It stands to reason that the elder brother should have been in a hurry... Glancing at the elder brother, Li Ruzhang scratched his head in distress.

Li Ruzhang became more and more impatient with his brother Li Ruzhang, jumping up and down every day, showing his existence in front of him, afraid that he would forget what he was here for, Li Rusong was very angry and funny.Thinking of the things mentioned in several letters received from Liaodong in the past few days, Li Rusong's eyes passed over a group of chaotic ministers, and fell on the prince Zhu Changluo who was sitting high on the golden palace, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily. , I suddenly felt a strange and extremely confident feeling in my heart... Presumably it will not be long before the prince will finally give the answer the Li family wants, and it will be very soon. If this is the case, what is the rush now What about?
Seeing Zhu Changluo's calm and confident expression, both Shen Yiguan and Shen Li understood one thing, the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu Xiao Ruxun was determined, and in the eyes of others, today's incident seemed to be a whim of the current prince. However, Shen Yiguan and Shen Li have been struggling in the officialdom, ups and downs in the wind and waves for decades, and nothing has been seen or seen. What happened today is clearly powerless. The prince is far-sighted. It's also in vain, it's better to have a favor, and the two of them bowed together at the moment: "I respect Your Highness's decree."

The two raised their heads and stared fiercely, and they could see a strange and extremely cruel intent from the bottom of each other's eyes, like a cold current pouring in from each other's heavenly caps, freezing the bones and muscles all the way, as if even the flesh and bones They can all be frozen into a ball, the so-called enemies of life and death are nothing more than that, not to mention that each of them is stirring up troubles in their hearts and has their own calculations, but these are all things that are not humane.

At this moment, Wang An, who was serving in the corner of the palace, saw a little eunuch rushing out from behind with sharp eyes. His round, fat face was covered with beads of sweat, and his expression was rather anxious, but Not daring to step into the palace, he hid himself behind the golden dragon pillar and winked at Wang An.

Isn't this the little Fuzi who was serving His Royal Highness earlier?Ever since he became a close servant of the prince, Xiao Fuzi has been sent by the prince to serve by the side of Young Master Ah Man. What is he doing here?Wang An, who was turning back and forth in his heart, quietly walked over.

Even though Xiao Fuzi still didn't like Wang An's eyes, but the matter was urgent and he didn't dare to neglect for a minute, so he whispered something in his ear, and Wang An's face changed instantly...
