Chapter 218: It’s your own fault and you won’t survive
Weng Dali actually came to see the excitement, but his and the Tiqi’s detection directions deviated.
According to past murder cases, the probability of an acquaintance committing the crime is more than 80%. In other words, if you really want to solve a murder case, you can find it among 80% of the people around the deceased, and there are many poor coolies. During this period, the probability of an acquaintance committing a crime will exceed 90%.
As the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Weng Dali found out that the maid He Hua had an affair with the butcher Lu Jin in the murder case of Zhou Shichen, so he naturally came to the conclusion that the butcher Lu Jin was the murderer.
Zhou Shichen's ancestor was very prominent. He was Zhou Shou, the younger brother of Emperor Xianzong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou. By the Wanli period, more than a hundred years had passed. His family had two hereditary titles: Qingyunhou and Changningbo. , and Xianzong's biological mother, Zhou, served as the empress dowager for seventeen years during the Hongzhi period.
The fights between relatives in the Xiaozong Dynasty were mainly concentrated between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Zhang family.
Zhou Shichen’s ancestors were also rich, but by his generation, Zhou Shichen’s life was already very difficult. If Zhou Shichen had not gambled, he would not have been able to say how comfortable his life would have been with the salary of the hereditary Jin Yiwei commander, but At least alive.
After Zhou Shichen's first wife died, Zhou Shichen was unable to marry again, so he stayed with his maid Hehua. His life was not considered extravagant. Hehua had resentment in his heart and collaborated with his adulterer to kill people. However, the adulterer was also a butcher. Everything was in trouble. So reasonable.
Because it was involved in the major Meishikou case, Tiqi intervened and hunted everywhere, finally digging out the real culprit behind the scenes.
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Congcheng, the consort commander, could actually commit suicide in order to fulfill the relationship between relatives. However, the Tiqi soldiers still surrounded the Xu mansion and arrested Xu Congcheng.
"Why do you bunch of bastards catch me! I am His Majesty's uncle! I even hugged Your Majesty, you hawks and dogs, get out of my house!" Xu Congcheng heard the noise and immediately came to the front hall, roaring angrily.
Zhao Mengyou looked at the people in front of him and saw how much effort His Majesty had put in to cheer up the Ming Dynasty. In Zhao Mengyou’s view, there was no need for His Majesty, a born nobleman, to do many things. However, as a favored one, Xu Congcheng did not cooperate with His Majesty. It's just a matter of excitement. He does whatever he wants by relying on his status as a royal relative.
Your Majesty spent so much effort on opening the Xishan Coal Kiln and fought with the courtiers round after round. Is Your Majesty just looking for trouble? Isn't it to let the people of Gyeonggi Province breathe a sigh of relief?
Xu Congcheng did not understand His Majesty's inspiring wishes.
He waved his hand and said: "Take away."
"Zhao Mengyou! You wait! You have to die!" When Xu Congcheng was pressed down, he was extremely angry. He was the emperor. Relatives!
The Ming Dynasty dealt with relatives of the emperor more than once or twice. During the Jiajing period, the methods used to deal with the two Zhang brothers were much crueler than this.
When the emperor's relatives cannot be the emperor's helpers, they must make up their minds to dig out this piece of carrion.
Wang Qian helped his father put coal and had been paying close attention to this case. He saw a group of Tiqi guards gathered in front of the Xu Mansion, saw the Xu Mansion was broken into, and saw Xu Congcheng being detained. He showed a smile and continued to check on the coal burning.
In fact, when Wang Chonggu was putting down coal, he discovered that the frantic Xu Congcheng was gathering coal to explode and drive up the price of coal. However, he could only suspect that his uncle was involved. Even if his Majesty repeatedly He showed that he would not tolerate it, but Wang Chonggu would never dare to gamble.
Xu Wenbi reminded His Majesty that this matter can only be handled by Your Majesty personally.
The emperor’s ancestors taught that only the emperor’s relatives should be questioned. This was based on considerations from both upper and lower levels. Those who investigated below would not dare to inquire more deeply. What if the emperor himself was involved?
Zhu Yijun issued an order and arrested Xu Congcheng. He took all the servants, grooms, housekeepers, etc. into custody and began to ask questions slowly.
This case will definitely be completed after the New Year.
As soon as Xu Congcheng's house was copied, Zhu Yijun received a memorial from another uncle requesting an audience.
Zhu Yijun has two uncles in total.
Only one of the eight sons of Emperor Jiajing has descendants, and that is Emperor Longqing. Among the five princesses of Emperor Jiajing, only two have descendants, one is the eldest princess of Ning'an, the other is Princess Jiashan, and Xu Congcheng The one I admire is Princess Jiashan.
The eldest princess of Ning'an, Zhu Luyu, brought her consort Li He to the palace to meet. First, she went to Cining Palace to meet Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li regarded the Meishikou fire case as an important case in the outer court. The emperor's aunt and uncle were not received due to inconvenience.
Three days after Xu Congcheng was arrested, Zhu Yijun summoned the prince-in-law Li He, Duke Yingying, Duke Dingguo and Duke Chengguo, Qian'anbo Qi Jiguang, first assistant Zhang Juzheng, and others in the side hall of Wenhua Palace. Assistant Lu Tiaoyang, Minister of Punishment Wang Chonggu, Minister of Dali Temple Lu Guangzu, and Chief Xian Hairui and Ge Shouli of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
On one side are the noble relatives and on the other side are the civil servants.
If we look at it in terms of official ranks, most of the honorary relatives on the left are of the highest rank, Prince Consort is the fifth rank, and the highest rank on the right is the first rank and the first rank.
First, Tishuai started the whole process of reporting the case.
Tishuai Zhao Mengyou said very solemnly: "In early March, Xu Congcheng, the commander-in-law of the Prince Consort, began to instigate cunning people to set up a trap for Zhou Shichen, so that Zhou Shichen lost all the few remaining assets in his family. , and also owed a gambling debt of 1,500 taels. In order to pay off the gambling debt, Zhou Shichen went through all kinds of tricks, but still could not pay it off. In the winter of this year, Xu Congcheng sent his servants to trick Zhou Shichen into setting fire. "
Zhou Shichen was addicted to it. Gambling is a habit, but relying on the prestige of the Empress Dowager, the family still has some background. However, in the gambling game, he was treated as a pig and slaughtered, and he was deceived. Zhou Shichen was heavily in debt, including gambling houses, servants, noisy gamblers, etc. When he was captured, the documentary evidence was an IOU written by Zhou Shichen himself, while the physical evidence was a legacy gift that Zhou Shichen mortgaged to the gambling house.
The reason why it is said that Zhou Shichen was slaughtered is because in fact there were many others besides him who were also slaughtered. It was not an isolated case.
The bankers in gambling houses know gamblers very well and always use various methods to deceive people into bankruptcy and debt.
Human evidence, physical evidence, and irrefutable evidence.
The bookmakers of the gambling houses are all cunning people in the city. Most of them are doing various illegal activities among themselves. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, they opened gambling houses and beheaded people. In front of the table, you can cut off your hands, but if you are under the protection of the Prince Consort, nobles, or ministers, you can do it blatantly.
"On the third day of December, the robber Zhu Guocheng found Zhou Shichen and asked Zhou Shichen if he was willing to do something big. Zhou Shichen was forced by gambling debts and went to Meishikou Street to set fire to it. According to the maid Hehua He confessed to his servant Wang Kui that at this time, Zhou Shichen still didn’t know who was setting up a trap for him, but he went to set the fire for money.” Zhao Mengyou presented documentary evidence that Zhou Shichen was killed as a pig, and killed twice. .
"It is worth noting that Zhou Shichen did not get the one thousand, five hundred taels of silver promised by Zhu Guocheng. The prince-in-law Xu Congcheng never thought of paying this money."
"According to the account of the thief Zhu Guocheng, five people should have set the fire separately. Zhu Guocheng and his three brothers knew the crime and did not dare to go there. Zhou Shichen set the fire alone. After the arson, the court was determined to arrest him. Zhu Guocheng was afraid and wanted to find the prince consort. Wei Xu Congcheng discussed it, but could only see the slave Zhao Shiyin. "
"Zhu Guocheng killed Zhou Shichen, and the slave Zhao Shiyin arranged for Zhu Guocheng to escape, and was finally captured by Tiqi. "
Zhao Mengyou finished. The whole process of the case.
The emperor's other uncle, Prince Consort Li He, after listening to what Zhao Mengyou said, frowned slightly and said: "This family has a big business, so there are inevitably some moths. The Xu family runs a coal mine, and there are some shopkeepers below. , In order to please the family master and make some money, how can it be said that the prince-in-law Xu Congcheng ordered him to do dirty things?"
"There is no evidence or evidence to support Xu Congcheng's instructions. It was Xu Congcheng’s plot, and Qi Wan found it hard to accept such a skin-and-bones verdict.”
The prince-in-law Li He meant: Xu Congcheng is clearly clean, courtiers should not slander the emperor’s relatives!
These cases are really connected together. It was not Xu Congcheng, the consort, but the servants who did illegal things in order to please their master.
Zhu Yijun looked at the Prince Consort Li He, and he also felt that Li He, the Prince Consort Commander, must think of ways to try his best to save Xu Congcheng. If Xu Congcheng dies, he is afraid that Li He will be next.
But the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Emperor was very clear. The Queen Mother avoided seeing him, and the Emperor announced to see Li He in the presence of foreign ministers.
This made Li He very passive.
Zhao Mengyou spoke again: "Your Majesty, I have the certificates of Xu Congcheng's maids and housekeepers, which can prove that the above-mentioned things were all under the instructions of Xu Congcheng himself. There is also the certificate of Xu Congcheng's account book, which has Xu Congcheng's personal signature on it. For gambling houses, Xu Congcheng knew everything about driving up coal prices. The Empress Dowager Xiaozong rewarded the Zhou family with some treasures, which can be used as physical evidence."
In three days, Zhao Mengyou pried open the mouths of the people involved in the case and imprisoned them. The evidence chain was completely completed. Luo Sigong had an uncanny ability to dig deep into the ground and dug out all the hidden physical evidence.
The corner of Li He's mouth twitched and he looked at the three princes. The three princes did not help at all. In the final analysis, this case was still a contradiction and conflict organized by the Xishan Coal Bureau. Before the preparation by the Xishan Coal Bureau, , the emperor called the three princes to this side hall, and the three princes had already chosen to surrender.
"It's just a trick after being beaten." Li He still defended forcefully.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Li He and said, "This case is well-founded and the person who did it is just trustworthy. How can we neglect and make false accusations if it involves God?"
Zhang Juzheng's meaning is very clear. If Li He wanted to defend Xu Congcheng, he would have to change the angle and say that Xu Congcheng didn't know. From this angle, His Majesty already knew.
In order to handle the case well, the emperor even went to the Ministry of Punishment to get a driving certificate before he began to arrest Xu Congcheng.
Li He took the case file and read it for a long time, and finally chose to give up Xu Congcheng’s defense of ignorance, because Xu Congcheng really knew about it.
What an idiot!
There is an incident recorded in the case file. In September, Xu Congcheng received a pair of jade beads given by the Empress Dowager Xiaozong from Zhou Shichen, and he also specially invited a group of people to appraise the treasure. Arty Feng Yayin The poems were written in pairs and a collection preface was left behind.
Li He really didn't know how to continue to defend. Xu Congcheng was so stupid.
Xu Congcheng was very stupid in carrying out the imperial decree.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me as a close relative." Li He changed his perspective. After all, he is your Majesty's relative.
Zhu Yijun said with great sincerity: "In order to break the appeasement trend of the Ming Dynasty, sir, he passed the imperial exams for the law, the law for clearing the husband, and the law for returning the land. How many people did he offend? How many things did he do? It took a lot of effort to stop this trend of appeasement. If the Ming Dynasty is slightly inspired, does your uncle want me to tolerate Xu Congcheng, the prince-in-law? If the Ming Dynasty cannot be encouraged, how can I have the face to go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to my ancestors? "
"In the Meishikou fire, one hundred and twenty-seven people were burned alive, and tens of thousands of kilograms of coal were blown up and burned. Just because he is a relative of the emperor, I have to forgive him privately. Is he the local gentry and powerful man? Can we tolerate private pardons? All things in the world can be pardoned privately? "
"I am a relative of the emperor, and enjoys the country's wealth. I don't care about the prosperity of the country, and it's fine if I don't help me. You made such a big mistake, uncle, why do you have to forgive me for this?"
Li He was speechless, not knowing how to answer your majesty's question. One hundred and twenty people died under the imperial chariot? How can I forgive the big case of seven people in private?
The strange thing is that a person in this profession is just honest, and many things get passed by in a confused way. Zhou Shichen and Zhu Guocheng could be scapegoats, but His Majesty wanted to find out, and finally found out. The emperor's uncle is imprisoned. Isn't this the biggest disadvantage of faithfulness?
"For the sake of the royal family's face, can he be allowed to commit suicide to apologize?" Li He proposed a compromise method. Since he cannot forgive himself privately, he should die in a dignified manner. Beheading in public would really undermine the emperor's majesty. The emperor was still young, so if he were to be beheaded at Caishikou, Zhang Juzheng might have threatened the emperor and he would never be able to escape. When the emperor planned a counterattack, Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's master, would be one of the culprits.
If Xu Congcheng commits suicide out of fear of crime, the face of the cabinet, courtiers, courtiers, heavenly companions, and His Majesty will all be preserved.
After all, the case has not yet been decided and punished clearly, and the court and the central government are still discussing it. Xu Congcheng killed himself, so you can't blame the emperor for being ruthless, can you? It not only safeguarded the New Deal, but also maintained His Majesty's close friendship.
Zhu Yijun looked at Li He, thought for a long time and asked: "What do you think, sir?"
"I think it is very good." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, this is to give Xu Congcheng dignity and to the court. Decent. Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "That's it. Let's stop here for today's discussion."
"I thank you for your kindness."
"I respect you. Send it to Your Majesty." Zhu Yijun stood up and all the ministers bowed their heads.
Li He stood up. He had tried his best to protect the Prince Consort's face, at least not to the point of beheading him in public. This was a good compromise.
Li He returned home, took two taels of silver, prepared a banquet, and went to the prison in Fusi, Beizhen, to deliver Xu Congcheng's escape meal.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me! I am your Majesty's uncle. How dare these eagles and dogs treat me so poorly!" As soon as Xu Congcheng saw Li He appearing, he rushed to the cell door and grabbed The doorpost of the cell said in surprise and anxiety.
"Alas." Li He motioned to Tiqi to open the door of the cell and looked around. Xu Congcheng was not living a bad life in the prison. This was the top cell in the sky prison. There were beds and Tables, chairs, benches, and a toilet.
"Let's eat first." Li He sat down, laid out the banquets he brought, and took out a bottle of Guojiao.
During the holidays, the emperor would reward each family with a bottle of wine brewed by His Majesty himself. The little emperor had a close relationship, but it was not many. If he did not commit any crime, he still recognized this relative, but he did. , that’s faster than turning the page in a book.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Xu Congcheng, who still didn't know that his life was over, looked at the table of delicious food, his face showed excitement, and said with a smile: "After entering prison, my mouth has faded. The bird is here, there is no oil or water in the food, but my brother-in-law is kind to me."
Xu Congcheng started to wolf down a bowl of wine before he asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, when can I go out?"
Li He did not answer.
Xu Congcheng was chewing on a chicken leg and suddenly realized something. The drumstick in his hand fell on the table. The corners of his mouth twitched twice. He looked at Li He and said, "Brother-in-law, please speak."
< br>"Brother-in-law, please don't scare me. Brother-in-law, please speak. When can I go out?"
"In a while." Li He then showed a forced smile and said, "You should take good care of yourself first. Let’s eat.”
“I knew my brother-in-law was scaring me!” When it stopped, he stopped and drank a few glasses of wine.
Xu Congcheng already knew that Li He was here to see him off. If he was really rescued, there would be no need to set up a table for him in the cell, and Li He didn't move a single chopstick during the meal. , Xu Congcheng was stupid, but when it came to matters of wealth and life, his mind became a little brighter.
Li He stood up, and Zhao Mengyou came in with Tiqi. A Tiqi was carrying a plate with Bai Ling on it.
"Brother-in-law, save me, brother-in-law!" Xu Congcheng knelt on the ground, grabbing Li He's pants and holding on tightly without letting go.
"You will not live if you do it yourself." Li He signaled Tiqi to pull Xu Congcheng away. Tiqi hung up the white silk, and four Tiqi hung Xu Congcheng on the white silk.
There is no difference between committing suicide and being committed suicide. They are both suicides.
When Li He walked out of the cell, Xu Congcheng was no longer breathing.
As the Prince Consort, Li He also participated in the Xishan Kiln incident. Jixiang Kiln, Desheng Kiln, Gongshan Kiln, and Pushui Gou Kiln were all coal mines of his family, and the capital produced millions of coal for fireworks. , all taken from Xishan, everyone did it, Li He naturally did it too, but Li He also constantly scrutinized the imperial decrees.
Li He always paid attention to letting the wind blow for a while to see the effect of the decree before making plans.
His Majesty wrote very clearly in the edict of the Xishan Coal Bureau that he could hand over the coal mines in his hands to the Coal Bureau for unified mining, or he could continue to mine as usual. Leave it to the Coal Bureau, and then everyone will just pay dividends and continue mining as usual. This does not count as resistance, but they will continue to live the same life as in the past.
The three princes chose to donate, Li He chose to mine as usual, and Xu Congcheng chose to resist the imperial decree. The ministers all had their own choices, and everyone had a bright future.
That’s why Li He said that Xu Congcheng would not survive because of his own misfortune.
In order to make a profit, a fire was set on Meishikou. His Majesty the Emperor, who had just been thrown into a state of disarray by the fire and was driven to live in Baoqisi, would be surprised if he was not angry.
The Meishikou Fire ended with Xu Congcheng's suicide, and the Quanchu Guild Hall became lively again. The emperor sent Feng Bao, the eunuch of the ceremonial department and chief seal officer, to the Quanchu Guild Hall to announce the decree with the emperor's handwriting.
Feng Bao stood in front of the imperial edict at the entrance of the Quanchu Guild Hall and opened the small yellow door, and said: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says:"
"Sir, I personally accept the will of the late emperor. , assist me in the new year, now the world is at peace, all the barbarian guests are submissive, it is Mr. Lai Kuangbi's contribution, Mr. Lai is a great hero, I can't describe it in words, and I can't reward you as an official, but the saints of my ancestors have learned from it, and I wish you and your descendants to be with the country for generations to come. Xianxiuye, hereby, after nine years of performance appraisal, he entered the Zuozhu Kingdom with a special certificate, was promoted to Taifu, received a count's salary, and held concurrent officials as before. In addition to the regular code, he was given an additional two hundred taels of silver, and a python robe for each person. , I will give you a fortune and a hundred stones at the same time.”
“I appreciate this.”
“I thank you for your kindness.” Zhang Juzheng accepted the order to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Yuan Fu, this imperial edict was written by His Majesty himself." Feng Bao specifically stated that it was written by His Majesty himself. Don't refuse anymore. The emperor's holy will has been lost. The emperor's stubborn temperament, Once you've made a decision, it won't be easier.
"I have a copy of the "Resignation and Exemption of Grace", and I sincerely ask your Majesty to take a clear view." Zhang Juzheng prepared a total of four memorials on resignation, and this is the second one.
For the first time, he declined, saying that his virtue was not worthy of his position. He said that he had been in the cabinet for nine years, and the country had been slightly improved, but the main contradiction had still not been resolved. He said that his credit was not enough, and Zhu Yijun's handwriting was Zhang Juzheng must be credited.
The reason for the second refusal, Zhang Juzheng meant, was that it was completely unnecessary. His Majesty was wise and wise and had been able to exercise the power in his hands correctly. He had lived up to the late emperor's expectations. There was no need for him to lead the Queen. Fu position.
Zhang Juzheng still wants to retire. Stargazing, studying arithmetic, and traveling around the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are a wonderful retirement life.
Feng Bao did not move, accepted the memorial, and asked Xiaohuangmen to take out an imperial edict and said: "Your Majesty's edict says: It is not enough to be full, but to be humble? Is it a matter of integrity? I wish you no more. The officials know this."
The little emperor predicted Zhang Juzheng's prediction, and Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial to refuse. He prepared four in total.
But Feng Bao stretched out his hand to block Zhang Juzheng from taking out the memorial from his sleeve and said: "Sir, the national gift can only be delivered in three words. If you refuse again, I may be suspected of intimidating the Lord."
"Ah this?" Zhang Juzheng never expected that the little emperor raised the big stick of etiquette and hit Zhang Juzheng on the head, knocking Zhang Juzheng straight away.
This is also what Zhang Juzheng taught the young emperor. The "Book of Rites·Rituals" says: Three speeches and three concessions.
In order to show humility, the emperor would refuse humility three times. At the third time, he chose to take office. Not only the emperor, but also ministers appointed by the court, the ministers also had to submit three memorials to express humility. This is a ritual. .
Three concessions are Zhou etiquette, which is roughly equivalent to getting a certificate before marriage is legal.
This can be traced back to Zhou Taiwang, Tai Bo and Zhou Wen Wang Jichang.
If Zhang Juzheng gives in again, he will be the master of power and commit the crime of transgression. This will be detrimental to Zhang Juzheng, the New Deal, and the Ming Dynasty. There will be officials in the court watching this refusal. This move once again set off a round of impeachment.
"I deserve it." Zhang Juzheng bowed in the direction of the palace and could only accept the appointment. There were boomerangs everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. These were all cards he gave to His Majesty, and His Majesty played them all back.
Feng Bao happily handed the seal and ribbon to Zhang Juzheng, and then returned to the palace.
Feng Bao, Zhang Hong, and Xu Jue are all close ministers of His Majesty and know the Emperor very well. His Majesty plays cards with Zhang Juzheng and does not play cards with anyone else.
Zhu Yijun is very busy because the Chinese New Year is coming.
In addition to the daily parade of military horses, Zhu Yijun also started a home visit. He randomly selected a few relatives from the list in the Beijing camp the night before, and made a surprise home visit the next day, asking the soldiers in the Beijing camp about their difficulties at home, and recorded them in the book.
He took the time to go to Yilun Hall again and gave a math class. The content of the lecture has been expanded from the quadratic interpolation method to the universal interpolation method. He also summoned the parents of poor students and supervised more than 10,000 students. Man, it has been a year. There are 14 proctors who have scored less than 12 points in the twelve monthly exams. Seven of them are in Beijing. Zhu Yijun called his parents to the palace. The average monthly exam score is 1 point. He is tired of studying. , or are you tired of studying, or are you tired of studying?
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the official factory of woolen cloth was preparing for the New Year's holiday, the little emperor went to the official factory of woolen cloth on the last day before the holiday and met with all the masters of the craftsmen. Talk about the difficulties you encountered and mention the opinions of the official factory.
In the end, no one had any opinions, they were all singing praises.
"Wang Qing, are you saying hello in advance?" Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this lack of opinion and criticized Wang Chonggu.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while and took out a book of official factory records, handed it to Zhang Hong, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't know that Your Majesty is coming. How can I say hello in advance? You are so powerful. We are so intimidated by the power of heaven that we dare not speak, but on weekdays, we often express our opinions.”
"This is a summary of the opinions of the top leaders this year."
Zhu Yijun opened it and looked at it. The content mainly focused on salary increases, canteen improvements, factory environment improvements, machinery improvements, etc. Zhu Yijun After reading the book of opinions with great interest, he said with a smile: "I just said that without the big Sikou, this official factory cannot continue to run. I am very happy that the big Sikou is doing things properly."
Only myself From top to bottom, it is like a tree without roots and water without a source. It cannot last long at all. It is a good thing for craftsmen to express their ideas through big leaders. Wang Chonggu is willing to read this book of opinions and is willing to solve it. Then It's the best of the best.
Wang Chonggu, who is good at gathering profitable ministers, is best at doing things and increasing his enthusiasm for production.
“I accept the emperor’s orders and do my best when carrying out errands.” Wang Chonggu, with a smile on his face, quickly bowed his head and thanked the emperor for his praise.
Zhu Yijun continued: "I found that what the craftsmen hate the most is blind command. It is indeed easy for laymen to supervise experts and to blindly set goals. For this blind goal, all People who work hard but fail to achieve their goals are fined. This is a common method of expropriation and is absolutely undesirable."
"Da Sikou accompanied me to Yongsheng Haomao. Let’s take a look.”
The Ming Dynasty had a very serious situation of forgiving the relatives of nobles, but in the past dynasties, the phenomenon of forgiving was not common. The execution of the Eight Pips and Eight Policies depends entirely on the emperor's mood. Please give me your monthly vote, ow! ! ! ! !
