I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 988 Wang Fu is Homesick

Even if he found out everything, he had to report it to the imperial court first, wait for the imperial court's decision, and then punish those officials after the imperial edict was issued.

In terms of time, it is often delayed for more than half a year or even longer.

Such a long time gave those guys enough time to move up and down.

Whether it's designing to frame and investigate his officials, spending money to bribe important ministers in the court, or framing the blame, it's all a means of surviving and escaping punishment.

Often, many lawsuits end without a problem like this.

In the end, the corrupt officials resigned from their posts and returned to their hometowns to become rich with the money they plundered over the years. They would not receive the punishment they deserved at all.

Those plots in film and television dramas that are cut by upright officials and pleasing people's hearts rarely happen in real history.

This happens unless a certain guy is really too much, too unscrupulous, causing the emperor's strong dissatisfaction.

Otherwise, even a big official in the frontier would not be able to deal with a prisoner so happily.

Some people may not understand.

In fact, this is very easy to explain.

Since ancient times, China has always been a society of human feelings.

That official didn't have three or five close friends, no mentors and fellow villagers of the same year.

This group of people is actually a small group. If one has an accident, the others will help if they can.

Some people say that officials and officials protect each other, but in fact, it is not an alternative way of embodying the sophistication of the world.

Another point is that since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there has been a saying that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world.

This is not just talk, but a real fact.

Even the emperor had to think carefully if he wanted to kill an official of the fourth rank or above.

Otherwise, it is very easy to offend other officials.

Since ancient times, it has not been an emperor who is not without tyranny, who kills when he says he will kill.

But you see, which emperor who killed countless people can end up with a good death in the end!
An emperor, if he wants to force all the officials to his opposite, then he is destined to be emperor soon.

Li Tian gave Zhou Chen the right to kill first and play later, which can be said to have great trust in him.

Even if he uses this right, as long as this thing is on him, he will naturally have a great deterrent effect on those officials below the fourth rank.

The words he speaks will have power and will not be easily ignored by others.

Of course, once this kind of power falls into the hands of a corrupt official, he will be helping the evildoers, and it is very likely to cause extremely serious consequences.

But Li Tian has absolute confidence in Zhou Chen's character, which is why he gave him such strength.

In fact, he had other considerations in doing so.

Whether it is Yang Suwen or Zhu Zhanji, their number is still too small after all.

It is almost impossible to suppress the honorable and high-ranking officials in the entire Nanjing city with the two of them.

But Zhou Chen is different. He is nominally the governor of the entire Southern Zhili and the highest official.

Even though his current strength is still very weak, it cannot be ruled out that there will still be a large part of the wall faction to curry favor with him.

Although this group of people is unlikely to be able to control, the direction of power in Nanjing in the future can give Zhou Chen a feeling of superiority in numbers.

The top part of the people may not be affected much, but for the people in the middle and upper reaches, the influence is still very considerable.

As long as Zhou Chen can seize the opportunity and control the support of more than [-]% of the officials, it will be very easy for him to gain a firm foothold in Nanjing.

In addition, the more important point is that Zhou Chen can use his existing influence to invisibly put a certain amount of pressure on those honorable groups.

Forcing them not to dare to make excessive moves.

It is not impossible to relieve the pressure on Yang Suwen and others.

Generally speaking, the Nanjing side urgently needed someone like Yang Suwen who was hiding in the dark to cut off all troubles, and also needed a person who stood in front of the stage and represented the court's right to speak.

These two aspects have met the expected standards, and it should be no problem for them to wait for more than a month until their arrival.

Three letters, three completely different contents.

Li Tian spent a lot of energy.

It was already noon when I finished writing the letter.

Wang Fu saw that there was no movement inside for a long time, so he walked in quietly and asked if he could have a meal.

In general, Li Tian is still in a good mood today.

There is also a large amount of financial income, which is still second.

The main thing is that he found that even if he didn't personally participate in it, as long as he arranged the manpower properly, he could still accomplish great things.

This made him very pleased.

In a good mood, the appetite is naturally wide open.

He said happily, let's go to the queen's place to eat today.

Wang Fu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the way ahead.

On the way, Wang Fu seemed to have something to say, but he wanted to open his mouth several times and finally held back.

After Li Tian found out, he chuckled lightly,
"You bastard, if you have something to say, just say it, what do you look like hesitating."

Wang Fufei forced an ugly smile on his face and said,
"Your Majesty, this old servant just heard that your Majesty is already preparing candidates for Nanjing.

This old slave is requesting an order, and wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Your Majesty..."

Li Tian smiled slightly, and immediately understood what this guy was thinking.

Wang Fu is from the south, and his hometown is actually near the city of Nanjing.

In the past, when the capital city had not moved to Beijing, he could go home and visit every now and then, but now he could not go back once a year.

It is unlikely that he would miss home.

Wang Fu is not like other eunuchs. After being in the palace for a long time, he has lost his thoughts about his family. He not only often asks people to bring money and rewards from the palace to his family, but also often writes letters back home. .

Li Tian knew all this.

Wang Fu grew up in a poor family. Five or six children were supported by his parents.

Other people's eunuchs are basically sold into the palace by their parents.

Wang Fu was one of the very few who entered the palace on his own initiative, mainly because he wanted to help his parents relieve some pressure.

Since my family was very poor since I was a child, when I arrived in the palace, I was finally able to eat a meal.

Once he confiscated it, he just fed up with this big fat man like a bucket.

People who were sold into the palace by their parents naturally had a lot of resentment towards their family. Even if they later became eunuchs, they would not be able to pass this test in their hearts.

After all, it is their parents who deprive them of the right to be a man and carry on the family line.

Even if it develops later, or even the power is in the hands of the government and the public, it is a fact that they cannot be men, and there is no way to change it. How can they feel good about it.
