eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 673 Taking advantage of the situation

As a companion capital, Nanjing retained an almost complete administrative team. Although it had not been used for nearly 100 years, Zhu Houzhao stayed here for a few days, and the bureaucracy soon began to operate normally.

The six ministers had to sit in the yamen according to the rules. Those who sat in the yamen were officials of the imperial court. Zhu Houzhao couldn't leave them idle. At least he had to summon them and give some instructions for his face. This was a symbol.

These officials themselves have to move forward, otherwise they will easily be impeached by the officials.

Anyway, it was the first time that the six yamen in Nanjing were crowded with people.

They were probably not used to the emperor's way of doing things, but they did not dare to disturb Zhu Houzhao and could only surround Wang Bing.

There's something, something big.

Now in Yingtianfu alone, people have sued 28 people.Although there was no murder or arson, there were still many people who united with subordinates to oppress the people and used their power to dominate one party.

Forget it if there are only 28 people, and I don’t know how many people are involved behind the scenes.

So everyone was disappointed.

Wang Bing was not a person who was easy to talk to. After seeing no progress for two days, he threatened: "Your Majesty's rules are very clear. No matter whether these people commit big or small things, they must have an explanation. You If your butt doesn't move like this... when you get to His Majesty's place, Your Majesty will wonder if you have anything to do with these people?"

"Old Wang Ge!" These people are also old scholars with gray beards and are not afraid of him. "You have no evidence and you can't talk nonsense! When did we people stop moving? Every case involves Many people's lives can't be decided arbitrarily, right? You are used to showing off your hat, but we have small brains and can't handle it."

Those who can be brought here to serve as idlers are basically not taken seriously by the emperor, and they are more or less people with weird temperaments.The name of the person who contradicted Wang Bing was Xie Ti Zhong. He was the minister of the Ministry of Works in Nanjing. He was not clear-headed and liked to contradict the emperor. He always insisted on his own way and even called it upright.

If these people want to return to Beijing like Wang Hua, they have to give birth to a son like Wang Shouren.

In fact, Wang Bing despises such a person in his heart, "It has been more than ten days, and there has been no movement. Is this what Xie Shangshu said about not being arbitrary in finalizing the case?"

"What happened after more than ten days? We are investigating the case carefully, but most of these cases are based on the one-sided words of a few ordinary people. There is no conclusive evidence. How dare Mr. Ge dare to convict easily? This is a lot of human lives!"

The emperor "rashly" settled a case in Huai'an, but that was the emperor, which does not mean that everyone can do it.In fact, it stands to reason that the emperor has done this, and it is easy for the people below to follow suit.

But it depends on who you meet.

The veins on Wang Bing's head began to throb uncontrollably. No wonder the emperor wanted to throw them here. Anyone who faced them would have a headache.

He had no choice but to turn around and report to the emperor.

I didn't complain, and I didn't dare to complain. Of course, I was very angry.

Zhu Houzhao laughed as soon as he saw it, "What's the matter? Apart from me, few people in the world dare to make Mr. Wangge look like this."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. How dare I be angry with Your Majesty? However, I am sometimes stupid and make Your Majesty angry."

"Then what happened?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to...in response to the public sentiments and civil affairs of Tianfu and Changzhou Prefecture, can we not ask the various ministers in Nanjing to intervene?"

Zhu Houzhao crossed his arms and crossed his chest. After thinking about it for a while, he gradually understood, "Are they acting against the will?"

"I think it is." Wang Bingcai was not polite and said unpleasant things, "They all said that human life is at stake and should not be taken lightly. There has been no progress in the past few days. I am afraid of ruining the emperor's important event!"

"kindness……"

Zhu Houzhao began to pace, and slowly thought, "Have you asked more about the situation in Huai'an Mansion? The imperial court has arrested many powerful people there. What is the response now?"

Wang Bing did not dare to tell the truth. In fact, most of the so-called powerful people were landlords, and landlords were more or less connected with officials.More than ten years ago, when the emperor was desperately trying to investigate the case, someone said that the gentry was the foundation.

So for this kind of large-scale operation, there are actually complaints, and there are complaints within the bureaucracy.

This is the basis of domination.

Zhongjun's plan is a lie to [-]% of people. Once it starts to harm one's own interests, it will definitely change its face.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more ruthlessly, and he did not use people's power at all costs like Yang Guang. Even if the gentry group was dissatisfied, they could not shake the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you, I haven't asked you carefully yet. Or I will send you a letter today to inquire."

"Let's ask." Zhu Houzhao nodded, "It's not easy for Song Heng to do this. It's probably not easy in South Zhili either. As for the people you mentioned today, I have experienced their tempers and I want to help. You vent your anger, but what I say 'doesn't work'. Besides, since ancient times, smart people have always taken advantage of circumstances. Since they have a hard temper, you quarrel with them. The louder the quarrel, the more I like it."

Wang Bing began to think about the four words of taking advantage of the situation.

"I am brave, and I beg your Majesty to give me some advice."

"kindness."

Wang Bing has been by his side for many years, and he can be considered a loyal minister with flaws, so to speak.

"I want to make this matter bigger, but no one in Huai'an Prefecture or Jinan Prefecture has done this. Although some people have been arrested, the outside world will probably only say that the emperor is really angry. But here are these things People, they are not even afraid of death, what else are they afraid of? In that case, let’s just let the quarrel go. Gentlemen, the foundation of the court is important matters, so they have to quarrel. The more violent the quarrel is, the more those beasts will do. The more people know about it.”

Wang Bing gradually understood that making such a fuss was actually an excuse for the emperor's future affairs.

"Then the old minister will..."

"They don't check, you go check. Without Butcher Zhang, you can't eat pigs with hair on them." Zhu Houzhao was actually a bit harsh when he said this. The emperor's decree could not be carried out. This matter itself cannot be condoned.

Wang Bing is also such a person, so what if he is allowed to fight with them?The few tycoons who bully the common people cannot be caught.

After Wang Bing got the decree, he acted much bolder.

Wang Bing doesn't care if those people want to investigate carefully or let them investigate. They also brought people from Beijing, especially the Jinyi Guards.

The 28 people from Yingtian Mansion were arrested starting from Zhang Chun, who was vaguely said to be related to the Wei Guogong Mansion.

Nanjing's street flying fish suits began to appear openly in pairs on the streets and alleys, and even some high-end compounds were kicked in directly.

When the latest news came, Wang Bing couldn't let go of the man named Xie Tizhong. He put on a bad face and walked over. When he arrived, he scolded: "That Zhang Chun absconded out of fear of crime, do you know?!"

People in the room looked at each other, and some people suddenly thought of something and lowered their heads in shame.

"What did you tell me about a detailed investigation? By the time you figure it out, the day lilies will be cold."

Xie Tizhong couldn't believe it, "...and what about his family? If he left like this, where would the Duke of Wei be left?"

Wang Bing was a little dumbfounded when he heard this question. This is how scholars think about problems, using normal logic to deduce, but who cares about so many people who are about to lose their lives.He can't think about anything else except surviving.

The emperor wanted him to quarrel with these people. This was also an entry point. If he didn't arrest him, would he wait for them to escape?
