Bright Spring

Qi Tai looked embarrassed, and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other.

But Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "Fear can make people surrender, and it may also make people desperate to do things that are completely unimaginable, as long as there is a little chance."

Qi Tai bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty knows the work by observing the details."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Let's talk next time. I don't know who notified the officials of Guangdong's chief envoy to send some good Chaozhou tea recently. I will be very happy to share good things with you."

Qi Taifu paid homage: "My lord, Long En, I can't repay you even though I'm so dazed. Please leave me."

Chapter 834 The Tree Falls and the Hozen Scatteres

Jian Butang's illness recovered very quickly.

This morning, Wang Gui brought his godson to the Palace of Rouyi, reported that Zhu Gaoxu and Jian Yi had arrived at the Ministry of Officials, and personally signed Liu Ming's letter of appointment. See thank you.

Zhu Gaoxu let out a short laugh with an "heh", then shook his head lightly, and put his gaze back on the book in front of him.

Wang Gui stood beside him for a while.Zhu Gaoxu muttered again, "The people of the Yang family can finally be killed."

He didn't think about this decision at the moment, but he had weighed it back and forth many times before.

Roughly, there should be some prerequisites. First, Yang Ji, the son of Yang Shiqi, must be arrested to avoid creating hatred, but the hatred cannot be completely eliminated; It is not enough to show Zhu Gaoxu's justice and confidence in winning the throne.

Until the night before yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu thought of another premise.That is the issue of Liu Ming's tenure, and it has to wait until the monarch and ministers have reached a compromise and consensus; in this way, the Yang family will not be slaughtered, connected with other things, and create a misunderstanding that creates a terrorist atmosphere.

Zhu Gaoxu finally remembered his original idea, to achieve a kind of "political sincerity" with civil servants.Otherwise, with the myriad of things governing the dynasty and governing power, where can we find someone who can rest assured?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly noticed that the eunuch Wang Gui and others were looking deep in thought.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said again, "When I kill someone, I will have a clear order and take full responsibility for it. Human life is at stake, and you must not guess."

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "Yes, the servants will leave."

But his godson Cao Fu didn't leave, he came forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, this servant brought the bitter Lord Lianshi outside the gate of Xi'an."

"Lian's?" Zhu Gaoxu repeated, suddenly said, "Oh... why did you bring her here?"

Cao Fu bowed and said, "This person once beat drums in Yingtian Mansion and the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to cry out for grievances. Later, she was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a while, and was released after the emperor led troops to Beijing; the officials were afraid that she would continue to cry for injustice and damage the reputation of the court. , and asked Beizhen Fusi to send someone to watch. At that time, there was nothing to do, the murderer Yang Ji was not caught, and no one could vindicate her, and Yang Shiqi's punishment was not finalized).

A very ridiculous thing happened two days ago.There was a young boy near the Taiping Gate, and when he heard the news that Yang Ji had been arrested, he went to Lian's with the intention of defrauding him.

Later, Jin Yiwei learned through torture that Qing Pi claimed to have relations in the officialdom, and was brotherly with someone in Ying Tianfu, and asked Lian to commit himself to him, so he asked someone to sentence Yang Ji to death.Otherwise, the dignitaries that the Yang family has made friends with will find a way to get Yang Ji out again.

That guy also recruited, and indeed he had some knowledge, and he believed that Yang Ji must die, so he thought of taking the credit for himself in front of the Lian family. "

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said, "The world is so big, there are so many wonders."

"Isn't it?" Cao Fu said, "But that guy doesn't know, Jin Yiwei has been watching Lian's; this disaster has come from heaven, because of the crimes of fraud, deception, and attempted rape, he was exiled to Liaodong. And that Lian Shi seems to be confused, and thought that the Jinyi guards who arrested the liar were relatives and friends of the Yang family, and they followed all the way to the imperial city. When the servants learned about this, they took her to Xi'an gate to wait."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu repeated in confusion, "Why did you bring her here?"

Cao Fu showed a flattering forced smile, "I have seen her before, and she looks good. The origin is also very clear, not to mention that the emperor avenged her wrong, so can't he repay her kindness?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Cao Fuyi

Eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment.Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Cao Fu, nodded his finger, and said with a wry smile, "Am I such an unqualified person?"

"No, no! This is something I did on my own initiative." Cao Fu continued with a serious look as if exploring the truth, "My servant is also very curious, why do people love to provoke widows so much, and rack their brains for it? Maybe there is something else Something special."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "That's because there is no owner."

Cao Fu hurriedly said, "The emperor is holy."

Suddenly Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing, because it's a bit absurd for a eunuch to study women here.He changed his comfortable posture and leaned sideways on the chair, "Sometimes I feel curious, why do you like to help me search for women so much?"

Cao Fu bowed and said, "This servant only wants to make the emperor happy. As long as the emperor is happy, this servant will be happier. Unlike Ji Gang, this servant is not like Ji Gang, who used the banner of the palace to find a good one and intercept it by himself. This servant is an eunuch. This kind of thing is just handy.”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Cao Fu's chubby face, and said after a while, "The old man is still loyal."

Cao Fu said, "The lives of slaves and servants also belong to the emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Bring that man in, I'll take a look."

Cao Fu bowed and bowed, and walked away from the desk.

"Cao Fu." Zhu Gaoxu called again.

Cao Fu trotted back in a hurry, "What else can the emperor order?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Don't mess around, I'm too lazy to clean up the mess for you."

Cao Fu laughed and said, "The servants are doing things, the emperor can just rest assured."

After a long time, Cao Fu really came in with a strange young woman, who should be Lian Shi.Lian looked around first, and then saw Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting behind the big table.

Zhu Gaoxu was also looking at her, she was really pretty, no wonder Qingpi was tempted.She was dressed very plainly, her hair was simply pulled up and a wooden hairpin was inserted. Although the cotton gray dress and white dress were old, it could be seen that the tailoring and material used were very good.The appearance is very regular and well-proportioned, the slightly plump facial lines are soft, but the person is not fat, and he looks quite fair, the eyes are not big but pretty, and the expression gives people a serious and correct feeling.

Cao Fu touched her arm lightly, and Lian hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "The daughter of the people kowtows to the Holy Majesty, please the Holy Majesty to be the master for the people!"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Get up."

Lianshi got up carefully as he said.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "The person who said he wanted to help you is a liar and has been arrested by Jin Yiwei. It's not that the government didn't decide for you, but because Yang Ji ran away and was not caught. He was arrested and brought to justice a few days ago, and he died It's settled, it's useless to find anyone, no one in the world can save him anymore. Killing people pays for their lives, the truth remains the same. You don't have to run around for it anymore.

No one is your benefactor, and neither am I.The court monarchs and ministers are just maintaining the rules they set.Understand? "

Cao Fu silently bowed and stood there.

The Lian family is different from ordinary common people, she is more courageous, otherwise she would not dare to spend so many years alone in the capital.She asked at this time, "Why did Yang Ji kill someone and he was fine soon, and it's useless for the slave family to file a complaint?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Any rule must be enforced by people. If the person who enforces it is powerful, he may not be bound by the rules. The person who originally protected Yang Ji was that kind of person; to be sure, he abolished the prince's party. Our court Governing the world is not perfect and fair, and it is also difficult to achieve. Nowadays, the lives of common people cannot be taken at will by others, and they must be maintained at least

Security already requires very complicated rules.

But after I was punished by heaven, that party has all been wiped out.Who is willing to break the rules and play favoritism for the fallen Yang family? "

"The tree fell and the hozen scattered?" Lian said.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "I didn't say it for nothing."

Lian raised his head and glanced at him, then immediately lowered his eyes, "Why did Your Majesty tell the servants this?"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin, "It has been difficult for you these past few years, and I feel deep sympathy. I am a reputable and honest person... most of the time, this is the case. Besides, power is not for playing | toy with."

Lian said in a trembling voice, "The slaves, the slaves think that the emperor is on top, and the common people can't see it."
