Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 778
If Zhu Yousong didn't say the word "flat body", Li Guofu had to lie on his stomach all the time. This five or sixty-year-old man, with speckled temples and a bloated figure, has been by his side for so many years. Zhu Yousong is not ruthless It's not that the righteous man doesn't feel sorry for him. He looked at him and his voice softened.

"Do you know why I summoned you?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the servant is guilty. Zhao Lin is a beast that cannot be punished. The servant committed the crime of negligence and lax supervision. Please punish him." Li Guofu kowtowed.

"Killing people and taking their lives, paying debts and repaying money, has been a matter of course since ancient times. Zhao Lin has been in the palace for such a long time without knowing that the reason why he is so domineering and domineering, disregarding human life, and having nothing to fear is because he is covered by your big tree. "

As soon as Zhu Yousong's words came out, Li Guofu was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, "I am guilty of this slave, I beg your majesty to come down."

"Be flat." Zhu Yousong couldn't bear it. After all, Li Guofu was only responsible for joint responsibility, or leadership responsibility. In addition, this case has not yet been investigated by Jin Yiwei, and the final conclusion is that Li Guofu is usually loyal to him. , it is too early to punish him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Guofu got up and was sweating.

"Your Geng this year?"

"Ah, dare not, slaves have wasted their lives for 56 years."

"It's not too young. It's been hard enough to follow me all these years, to fight north and south, and to be exhausted on the pommel horse. Now that Ming Dynasty has recovered, you should take a rest. Let Lu Jiude take the part of the imperial horse supervisor for the time being." Let's make a fuss first."

With a few words, Zhu Yousong is equivalent to suspending his post.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and your maid obeys the order." Li Guofu kowtowed again to thank him.Of course he knew that His Majesty had granted him an extrajudicial favor. This was to make him sue his old age and return to his hometown. If he wanted to convict him, it would definitely not be so cheap. It is estimated that it will not come out.

To use the new words of later generations, this is to take the blame and resign.Li Guofu's old fate is saved, and he doesn't have to live in prison in his later years. He is already very satisfied. He is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and thinks of his own son Zhao Lin. After thinking about it, he had to resign himself to fate. In addition, he hoped that his uncle and the golden queen could save Zhao Lin's dog's life, so he didn't dare to expect anything more.

After Li Guofu thanked him, he went back to the mansion to deal with his funeral.

On behalf of the emperor, he went to southern Xinjiang to reward the three armies, so Zhu Yousong had to let An Lin, another eunuch of the Yumajian, go there instead.An Lin is the admiral eunuch of the Yumajian, and his status in the Yumajian is second only to Li Guofu. Now that Li Guofu has fallen, and Lu Jiude is not in the court, Zhu Yousong is sent to his head.

After An Lin received the decree, he heard that something happened to Li Guofu. He was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head to reflect on himself. Fortunately, when His Majesty was not in Beijing, he did not do anything out of line, and there were no evil slaves under his command, but he had to be careful with them, he secretly warned Otherwise, like Eunuch Li, I will die without knowing what is going on.

Regardless of the fact that the murderer has not yet been punished, the story of Li Guofu quickly spread throughout the government and the public, shocking all the officials, the government and the public, and even ordinary people in the capital were quietly discussing this matter after dinner.

This incident was like a wake-up call for the entire eunuch system, not just the eunuch system, including the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet, Civil and Military Affairs, Sansi Yamen and other civil and military officials. They not only restrained themselves, but also put a curse on their children, wives and concubines.Especially those corrupt officials, and idle princes and grandsons all refrained, behaved in a low-key manner, for fear of being caught by His Majesty and the factory guards, even a well-rooted generation like Li Guofu would fall if they said they would fall, let alone them?Your Majesty is no better than Chongzhen.

Some rumors went even further, saying that His Majesty intentionally took the Dongchang knife this time.If you don't believe me, just wait and see, that dead eunuch Zhao Lin must have a hard life.

Some fans reported the public opinion, and Zhu Yousong felt that their interpretation was correct, but he just laughed it off and didn't say much.

At this time, an eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Eunuch Lu has returned to the court according to the order. Brother Song has already entered Beijing with Eunuch."

"Lu Jiude really lived up to my expectations, and I will meet you in person." Zhu Yousong was overjoyed when he heard the news. When the brothers Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng came, a stone fell from his heart. These are two scientists. It is said that agriculture, handicrafts, machinery, papermaking, textiles, coal, salt, oil, weapons, gunpowder, etc., all have high attainments. Zhu Yousong has studied history, and Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation" was the first It is the most comprehensive and high-end scientific and technological achievement, known as an encyclopedia. Of course, what Zhu Yousong values ​​most is their brother's military accomplishments, training expeditionary forces, and many topics are still waiting for them.

Zhu Yousong knew that the two brothers had been officials since the time of Chongzhen, but no one knew what to do, so that such a great talent became an eighth-rank official, a seventh-rank county magistrate, and a teacher. After Chongzhen hanged himself, that After Zhu Yousong came to the throne, he still didn't know what to do. One got a soldier to patrol the road, which was equivalent to a prefecture-level city mayor, and the other got a Guangzhou prefect, and the Tartars entered Beijing. So they resigned and returned home. Their ancestral home is Xinfeng, Jiangxi.This is of course the original historical development trend.

Now that Zhu Yousong has traveled through time and has three bodies, of course he knows these details. Several years of hard work has changed the fate of Daming, and he has succeeded against the sky. How can Zhu Yousong let Mingzhu secretly vote again?Only when people make the best use of their talents can their goal of strengthening the country be realized. Of course, this cannot rely on the efforts of any one person.

Knowing their situation, Zhu Yousong was worried at first that the two brothers were disheartened and unwilling to enter the court as officials, but unexpectedly they followed Lu Jiude into the court so smoothly, how could Zhu Yousong be unhappy?It was also to show that he valued talents and talents, and Zhu Yousong drove out of the palace to greet him.

Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, and the senior officials of the six ministries all followed Shengjia and formed a long line. The Beijing soldiers and guards had already put several streets under martial law.

As soon as Zhu Yousong's holy driver left the imperial city, the travel-worn Lu Jiude and others arrived.

Zhu Yousong knelt down to meet the driver, and called the Song brothers over to meet the driver.

Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng are both educated and well-cultivated people. They have participated in the imperial examination and served as officials. The two brothers never thought that His Majesty would order them to serve as officials. Will the current Emperor Hongguang be okay?Achieve fame and success, the real dragon emperor.Little sesame officials like them have been forgotten long ago, but His Majesty remembered them, and sent Lu Jiude, the chief eunuch of the admiral Dongchang, to their hometown in person.

Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng were deeply moved, and felt that His Majesty is really a righteous and enlightened emperor, following such an emperor can accomplish a lot.Therefore, the two brothers did not delay for a day, and after making simple arrangements for the family, they followed Eunuch Lu to the capital.What the two brothers didn't expect was that His Majesty would personally lead civil and military troops out of the imperial city to welcome them. What an honor this is?

Therefore, the two Song brothers were grateful and bowed to the ground.
