The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

"Come here! Fan Jin, go to the prison immediately and release Yu Qian. If he makes a mistake, the officials handling the case and the guards will come to see me in advance! In addition, Li Xi, the general manager, will be waiting at the Meridian Gate. I would like to hear from you, where does he have the confidence, is he a worm in Yu Qian's stomach, who can firmly insist that Yu Qian is resenting the court!"

Being charged with the unwarranted charge of "resenting the court", eight out of ten is an unjust case, and it is Yu Qian who offended someone.This kind of trend of accusing people of murder and punishing their hearts will not stop, and it is unknown how many loyal ministers and generals will die unjustly in the future.

Fan Jin retreated out of the hall in a frenzy, ordered his horses to be prepared, and galloped away all the way.

I have always been mild-tempered, it is rare for Qi Yu to see me furious, and he was quite frightened, his whole body shrank, and he said timidly: "Mother, why are you..."

I was furious: "Human life is at stake. The official of the third-rank imperial court said that if he was sent to prison, he would be sent to prison, and if he said he would be killed, he would be killed? You said that he was 'resenting the court', which is a condemnation. Is there any evidence? Not to mention whether Yu Qian's actions are guilty , Is there any grievance, even if the crime is established, the mere "resentment against the court" is a crime to the death? How did your mother teach you on weekdays, do you ignore it? How can you ignore human life! Besides, when you sentenced an important official like the Minister of the Ministry of War to death, how could you hide it? So I decided on my own? If I hadn't asked you today, would you have planned to kill him quietly?"

Seeing this, Qi Yu hurriedly knelt down and said, "My son dare not!"

"I see how brave you are!"

Qi Yu knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground, not daring to answer a word.

If it was in the past, it would be fine if someone was there to persuade her. Xiao Lian hadn't come back from Jinju, and Fan Jin went out to do some errands, so Wu Ya, a palace servant serving inside and outside the palace, knelt down on the ground, not daring to vent her anger.

My anger persisted for a long time, so I gave Qi Yu a hard reprimand.Out of anger, the volume was a little louder, and in the end it was Fan Hong who came out to make amends.He pointed to the back room, and called "Niang Niang" in a low voice, signaling not to disturb the emperor.

If Heidan knew about it, he would definitely be angry too, which would be bad for his health.I listened to Fan Hong's persuasion and stopped talking.

Fan Hong said again: "The little master did this, there must be a reason for it, why don't you listen to what the little master has to say?"

I glanced at Qi Yu and saw that his face was flushed and his eye circles were also red, knowing that he was losing face in front of the palace people, I said, "Get up and answer."

Qi Yu knelt for a long time, his legs were numb, he got up suddenly, and staggered, but fortunately Fan Hong's eyes were quick to hold him.

I saw it in my eyes, although my heart ached, I still kept a straight face.

Qi Yu looked at my face and said cautiously: "My son does not despise human life... Besides, my mother mentioned being too modest a few times before, saying that he is good, and my son kept it in her heart. It's just that several ministers impeached him on this matter this time. The son thought, if one or two people framed him, there is still a possibility, so many people accused him, it must be true on weekdays..."

"You are naive... What do you mean by 'forming a party for personal gain'? A large number of people does not mean being reasonable. Wait, you said 'several ministers'?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him: "Mother wants to delegate power to you, but since there are many If someone impeaches him, it means that the matter is serious, and you didn't even send your mother a copy of it?"

Qi Yu muttered: "My son was not sure, it was my big companion who said..."

The more I listened, the angrier I became: "Are you in charge of the country, or is it your eldest partner?"

Qi Yu lowered his head and did not speak.

Fan Hong persuaded from the side: "Madam, although the young master did not do it properly, after all, the young master is still young, and Fan Jin has the responsibility to teach as a big companion. This matter is also Fan Jin's negligence. Empress Wanwang, don't criticize the little master."

I calmed down and sighed: "You have a selfless heart, so you don't protect Fan Jin just because he is under your name."

Fan Hongdao: "The emperor and the empress trust the servants, and the servants dare not have selfish intentions."

I want to investigate Yu Qian's case to the end and find out who is trying to kill him.

Fan Quan and others around me are not very literate, and I was afraid they would be fooled, so I called Fan Hong: "This matter is very important, and I don't worry about other people. Go ahead and report all the cabinet memorials that mentioned Yu Qian's case. How many are there?" Take as much as you want, bring it all." Fan Hong took the order and went.

I beckoned Qi Yu to come over: "Show mom, have your knees turned green?"

Qi Yu drooped his head and replied softly: "No."

"Resentful mother loses such a temper with you just because of an outsider, making you lose face in front of everyone?"

Qi Yu was poked at the center by me, blushed and said, "My son dare not."

"Yu'er..." I stroked his temples lightly: "When the children of ordinary people are not sensible, you have to supervise the country at a young age. It is not easy. Mother knows, and Mother loves you. But who made you a father?" Mother's son, born in the emperor's family, enjoys the blessings that others can't enjoy, so he has to take on responsibilities that others can't afford. All the people in the world work hard to worship you. Why? You have to govern the country well to be worthy They are worthy of the seat you are sitting in. Now mother looks at you, stares at you, scolds you, you don’t like it, but at least mother can protect you from making big mistakes. In the future, father and mother will leave, leaving you alone as the emperor, You have to make decisions on everything alone. Being an emperor is more difficult than being a prince. If you don’t force you to become stronger quickly, how can you feel at ease? Seeing that you are getting better at what you are doing, and just about to delegate power to you, You made such a big mistake, and a capable minister of the world almost fell into your hands, do you think mother can not be angry?"

"Mother, my son understands...'" Qi Yu leaned on my lap and said in a sticky voice.

When Fan Hong took the time to get the memorial, I explained the matter to him in detail: "First of all, you must know people and be good at responsibility. Do you know what kind of person Yu Qian is? He is shrewd, capable, and upright Integrity. If you knew this, what would you think if you saw him write a letter recommending someone else to replace you?"

Qi Yu said: "He is not greedy for power and position, he puts state affairs first."

I said: "Isn't that right? You have to call him to talk to you, and then see what he has done, don't just listen to what others say." If you don’t form a party, you are alone and weak in the court. If you still don’t support him and show it to the officials, who would dare to be a clean official like him?”

Qi Yu said: "But there are so many courtiers, and my son has to understand them one by one like this, how can I understand them all?"

I said: "When you are in the court, pick out a few trustworthy people, such as Nanyang (Yang Pu), entrust them with the power of personnel affairs, and then ask them to criticize people from time to time-but you can't believe them all. You have to listen to them more. If you have different opinions, you have to send someone to investigate. Otherwise, what is the use of you as a Jinyiwei? But Jinyiwei obeys the orders of the eunuchs of the East Factory, and there may be interests involved in it, so the words of Jinyiwei are only for reference. In the end, I still want you Make up your own mind...Although there are many courtiers, you only need to arrange the six departments and nine ministers and other important positions. These key people are capable of handling affairs, and those low-level officials will naturally help you find suitable people."

Qi Yu nodded: "My son has written it down."

"Besides, Yu Qian's accusation is ridiculous to say. 'Resentment against the court' is also considered a crime? Not to mention that most of these accusations have no evidence, and most of the evidence is forged. Even if it is confirmed by the facts, he does have resentment. Isn't it true? The imperial court treats him unfairly, and people are not allowed to "resent"? If you have wronged someone, do you still need someone to be grateful? As a king, you can't blame all your faults on your subordinates, and you need to introspect in everything. Thinking about it a little deeper, let's legislate and punish crimes What is it for? It is to scare chickens and monkeys. You punished him, and the government and the public will not accept you? Those who have resentment towards the court in their hearts dare not complain from now on? They still have resentment, but they just hold it back and don’t say it. If you can't reach the top, you don't know anything about the mind of the subordinate, how can this dragon chair sit securely in the future?"

Qi Yu said aggrievedly: "My son asks himself, his father, mother and son have treated him well. Hearing that he has a heart of resentment, my son is naturally upset."

I sighed: "Yu'er... people in the royal family, you can't be so willful... One thought of you can make the country prosperous, one thought can ruin the people's livelihood; one thought can bring life to life, and one thought can kill people. To serve the country, as long as he pleads for the people, you have to keep him. Not only keep him, but also show kindness to him, use this method to resolve his grievances, instead of throwing him into a prison. You are the master for the people , not to make decisions for yourself. If you can’t control your selfishness, one day in the future, this selfishness will be used by people with ulterior motives. They provoke and incite you to kill people who shouldn’t be killed in a fit of anger. Just like Yu Qian today."

"It's tiring to live like this, mother..."

I touched Jiaoer's cheek affectionately: "But mother believes that you can do it, huh? Your father started supervising the country at the age of 12, and it's the same way he walked all the way. Both parents will accompany you, don't be afraid. When you are older , these things are done well, it will be fine.”

"Daddy is amazing."

Thinking of his father's appearance when he was in charge of the country, a smile crept onto the corner of my mouth unconsciously, I smiled and said: "Your father is very powerful. But the tiger father has no dogs, you are not bad, don't you think?"

Qi Yu nodded while snuggling on my lap.

After a while, Fan Hong came back with the memorial, packed it in a sack, and Xing'an led people to carry it.

It could be seen that Fan Hong was mature and cautious, and even those who carried the memorial had chosen those who were steady and strict.

I was amazed by the sheer number of excerpts.After taking a look at Qi Yu, Qi Yu also seemed a little surprised.When he saw me looking at him, he knew he didn't do well, so he lowered his head again.I didn't say anything, and asked Fan Hong to put the folder on the table.

I flipped through a few books at random, and I didn't know if I didn't read them. I saw that there were not only those who impeached Yu Qian, but also those who called for grievances for Yu Qian.

I picked out the censor Gu Zuo and others' grievances against Yu Qian, showed them in front of Qi Yu, and asked him: "Have you ever read these notes?"

Qi Yu was taken aback.
