eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 651

The emperor's imperial chariot stayed in Huai'an for several days because he got angry that day. In the absence of Yang Yiqing and Wang Hao, there was no minister with real weight enough to bear the anger.

A few days later, the Fengyang Governor's Yamen came to the trial court. What was being tried was not a specific case, but the word "bullying".

Since Song Heng agreed in front of Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't do nothing.

The grievance drum was wiped clean, and two tall yamen guards were added to guard the side. The notice on the wall next to it was also posted. The passing people heard Mr. Yi read:

I heard that in the countryside, tyrants are running amok and doing great harm.This generation relies on the power of their parents, whether with wealth, power, strength, or the masses, to oppress the kind and do anything to the best of their ability. However, once the poor and weak are harmed, their lives will be restless and fearful of their coercion, as if they are walking on thin ice. .The harm caused by this generation is like a scourge, raging in the countryside, and the people are complaining, and there is no way to cry...

……

"Mr. Liu, what does this mean?"

"It means...the emperor has issued an order to punish the strongmen and evil people who are causing trouble in the countryside."

"How to fix it?"

"Here, the governor's office is open, and the grievance drum is here."

……

"Brother Chen, why do you think this is happening?"

The scholar-looking man shook his fan and said, "The emperor wants a prosperous civil society, but this is just one part of it."

"I know this. I heard that the emperor sent people to visit secretly and found that there are bandits in Shandong. I guess there will be more such things after leaving Shandong. That's why this section is created."

This guy's explanation is more logical, and others believe it more. Maybe he has a relative who is an official in his family and knows some inside information!

……

The one who is nervous now is Song Heng. Do you agree to the emperor? It's simple.But after the emperor became angry, he pointed the finger at those who caused trouble in the countryside. This was different.

In addition, Gu Renyi's letter to Liu Jian has been written. He is now trying to convince the second governor. He pointed out the grievance drum outside the Yamen and said, "Song Zhongcheng, your Majesty has made it clear that on the one hand, the country gentry has preferential treatment from the imperial court. , on the one hand, they bully the local people. This anger will not come out of nowhere. The people are already afraid and used to being bullied. It is useless just to complain at the door. You must really arrest a few people. , and it is necessary to arrest those who cannot be touched in ordinary times, so that it can be effective."

Feudal society itself was a hierarchical society.In this hierarchical society, it is definitely not difficult to find a few people's children with bad deeds.But no matter what, it is always stressful to do this kind of thing.

"Brother Yishan, there is no need to worry. Since I have promised His Majesty, I must fulfill it. Otherwise, how can I report to Your Majesty?"

Gu Renyi felt a little at ease. Fortunately, there was an emperor on top, otherwise the people would be able to catch up with such good things in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

"only……"

"What? Song Zhongcheng has concerns?"

"Brother Yishan also knows that there are 13 provinces in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty. In the final analysis, there is only one Shandong. Your Majesty is in a rage now and really wants to submit matters in the countryside..."

As the emperor ascended the throne, his authority grew stronger.

The people below are scared!

It turns out that the emperor is not angry, so if they do it [-]%, there will basically be no problem.But with the current situation, if we can't do this more than [-]%, we will definitely not be able to pass this level.

But if you really do it with this kind of intensity, and show it to the emperor when the time comes, won't it be full of illegal activities committed by such-and-such members and such-and-such young masters?Just because there are fewer in Shandong doesn’t mean there are fewer here!

Wouldn't that make the emperor even more angry?

But Gu Renyi only said one sentence, "If you are really afraid, you should not ask this question."

Song Heng understood that he just said something pretentious and quickly made up his mind, "If it means death anyway, it would be better to die heroically!"

"it is good!"

……

……

Zhu Houzhao called Yang Shen back.

Yang Shen is a very talented person, but historically he has not shown particularly amazing talents in officialdom, so for now he is kept around for use.

"In the past few days, everyone who wants to see me has been stopped by me. What do the people outside, including the local people in Huai'an, think of the emperor's anger?" The emperor and Yang Shen were sitting opposite each other. Both of them were young and in poor health. Wearing satin.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao did not have Yang Shen's talents, but as a monarch, he was naturally relaxed in every move, while Yang Shen was a little more awkward.

"Wei Chen only knows that Youdong's family was so frightened that they could not sleep for two nights."

The emperor's eyes turned slightly, "I'm not going after her."

Yang Shen did not dare to directly ask the emperor who he was targeting. That would be too rude.

"Your Majesty is right, but His Majesty is so powerful. How can she not be afraid of a commoner girl?"

"What about the other people talking about it?"

"I don't dare to hide it. I have indeed asked Wei Chen about it in the past few days, but how can I guess the Holy Heart? From what I can see, there are not a few people who are worried outside, especially the local officials."

Zhu Houzhao looked up to the sky, looking indifferent.

At this time, You Zhi came in again and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Ge and Mr. Yang Ge would like to see you."

"Gone. Let them go back."

amount……

You Zhi looked at Yang Shen in embarrassment, but the latter did not give him any help.

These slaves are a little confused about the emperor's temper. What a big deal, even the bachelor of the cabinet is missing.

The key was still missing. Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe had no choice but to say anything to the emperor, but they forced him, the eunuch, to death.

"Your Majesty..." Yang Shen also considered this, and he felt that it was not the case.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything about pleading. I have my own reasons for doing things; I have my own reasons for being angry. When I left the capital, you thought I was just here for fun, right? Ha, I think so too. But we still have to look at the faces of these people!

No one in the government or the public, nor among the monarchs and ministers, has worked hard in the past few years.Don’t talk about me, and don’t talk about others.Just look at your own father. How gray has his hair become?It's not easy.But in the end, the common people benefit the least. They work hard all year round and have to be bullied.I am worried that this problem is not easy to solve, and I am also disappointed. Many of them are people who have been exempted by the imperial court. "

From preferential treatment to preferential treatment,

The difference between one word and another seemed to hit something.

Yang Shen said: "Wei Chen understands that your Majesty is not angry with Mr. Wangge, nor is he angry with any of the accompanying ministers. Your Majesty is angry with the world and the people. But what Wei Chen doesn't understand is that since If you are not angry with them, why don’t you see the ministers of the DPRK again?”

"Rural bullies and big clans often use wealth and power to oppress people." The emperor sighed deeply and frowned, "Yong Xiu, all that wealth and power were given to them by me. I , is the final sinner."

No matter how close Yang Shen was to the emperor, he did not dare to accept such words. He and You Zhi knelt on the ground together, "Your Majesty has worked hard day and night to govern the country. Over the past ten years, the people have been safe and peaceful, and the government and the public have been peaceful." Celebrating together, all ministers in the world praise the emperor for his saintliness and benevolence. However, everyone has a place to live and food to eat, and his government cannot be achieved overnight. Your Majesty, there is no need to belittle yourself and blame yourself."

"I have heard your words a thousand times. In short, I don't see them. You Zhi, go out and tell them not to kneel here every day. I will call you if something happens."

You Zhi had no choice but to repeat the original words to the two bachelors.

What about Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe?

As soon as they left, Gu Zuo also came, and when he saw their faces, he understood everything.

"What's going on, Your Majesty? In the past, when you were angry, you didn't go to the extent of isolating your ministers."

Yang Ting took a few breaths. It was indeed abnormal for the emperor to do this, but if you think about it carefully, it was not without trace. Wang Bing had already said it before he said it.

"Do you still remember how this happened?"

Yang Tinghe nodded, "Xiaguan and Ge Lao want to go together. To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be tied."

"Governor Fengyang?" Gu Zuo also thought about it.

Yes, only Song Heng, the governor of Fengyang, could give the emperor an explanation for what made the emperor angry.

In this case, the three of them have nothing to do.Now that the emperor is showing this face, what else can they do except suppress Song Heng?

"Let's go and have a look at the governor's office."
