Chapter 417 If the law is not strict, it cannot be trusted, and if the law is not believed, it cannot be governed
Anyone who has ever served as a county magistrate can clearly feel that Hai Rui's ability is really strong. Most of Wang Qian's little tricks can be done It serves the purpose of finding clues, and it is always Hai Rui who really catches the corrupt officials.
The basic social form of the Ming Dynasty is in a stable and out-of-control contradictory state. To put it more simply and understandably, it is the big evil person controlling the small evil person.
After passing the Jinshi exam, I kept running around in the capital, and finally found shelter in someone's name. I got an official status from the Ministry of Personnel and went to a certain place to serve as a county magistrate. At this time, the first thing I had to do was The thing is not to take office immediately, but to recruit masters and long-term servants.
Without a master, it would be difficult for a family member to move forward.
Once you get there, you will find that it is not easy to manage a county well.
The only official position in a county is the magistrate of county affairs, and there are no more than seven people receiving imperial salary. In addition to the county magistrate, they are: county magistrate, chief registrar, patrol officer, tax ambassador, teaching edict, and postmaster. These people will never be of the same mind as the magistrate, because these people are all locals.
Local officials have different customs and customs in different places. I don’t care whether they are polite or not, but they are definitely a community of interests.
A county government office does not only have seven people, but also has three classes and six wards. In some places, the number of government officials is as high as thousands. These are also locals, and their official positions are like grates. These government officials are a mixed bag, and they are determined to They are not good people, there are many people who are robbers themselves.
The magistrate is like a dragon crossing the river, and except for the magistrate, everyone is a local snake.
In this environment, arresting criminals is like a joke, and beatings are the norm. Every collection of summer and autumn taxes is like going to the countryside to plunder, and armed resistance to taxes is common, and even civil unrest breaks out to break through prefectures and counties. Most of the people like prosecutors, brokers, and compradors are the mouthpieces raised by wealthy gentry.
The staff are unreliable, so they need masters, and the government servants are unreliable, so they need long-term servants.
When you become a county magistrate in a place, the first problem you face is the salary of the thousands of people under your command. Take the Linzi County government office as an example. There are 4,000 government officials, three shifts, six rooms, and two clerks. For one hundred people, the salary alone would cost tens of thousands of shi of food per year.
The county magistrate will be confused. There are only a dozen or so people working in three shifts and six rooms. Why do so many people have to be paid when the salary is paid? It is true that there are only a dozen scribes working, but there are more than 200 scribes who receive salaries. These people who do not work also receive salaries. There are all kinds of strange reasons, such as being sick, studying abroad, performing filial piety before the sick bed, etc. This is what it means. Eating free money is the norm, not just among the military.
When the magistrate is ready to take drastic measures to clean up these free-paying borers, everyone will advise, listen to the advice, you are the magistrate, if you don't listen, you will be a piece of shit in the future.
Hai Rui was known for his integrity. As the governor of Yingtian, he had neither a master nor a long-term servant. When he arrived at Yingtian Mansion, he promoted benefits and eliminated harm, built water conservancy projects, renovated the Wusong River, cut postage fees, and deprived It is related to Huma Pai, Qingzhang, investigating the corruption and mergers of Xujie, and all these things, it is impossible to do it just by relying on integrity and righteousness.
So, Hai Rui is very capable. The clues that Wang Qian found are just clues in the hands of others, but in the hands of Hai Rui, they become Chaoyang Gate. In the Happy Forest of Steles outside, there are many steles of greedy ink.
This is also the reason why local prominent families in Sichuan have relaxed their vigilance towards Wang Qian. These local snakes have been local snakes for so many years. No matter who comes to their territory, they must be controlled by me. Even a tiger has to lie down for me!
What happened to Zhang Juzheng’s disciples? Then Luo Yao, the governor of Sichuan, was not only a disciple, but also a fellow villager. When he reached the border of Sichuan, didn’t he have to join in with them?
In addition to Wang Qian's wild behavior along the way, the noble families recognized him as one of their own, because Wang Qian behaved like one of their own in every aspect.
The emperor gave an imperial edict to Wang Qian to handle the case. How to reply was not just a matter of Wang Qian's words? The most important thing is that this is also a great opportunity for the Jin Party to expand its influence in Sichuan. Although Jin Dang and Zhang Dang are not life-and-death in the court, they are constantly fighting each other. With such a good opportunity, Wang Qian, as Wang Chonggu's only son, will plot no matter what.
For Zheshe households, to put it bluntly, even Liu Xian, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, is one of our own. Liu Xian took the martial arts exam in Sichuan under false pretenses, and the military merit he won in Sichuan became his deputy. Qianhu came out of Sichuan to pacify Japan. After the war, he returned to Sichuan.
No matter which angle you look at it, a distinguished family can confidently shout: I have the advantage!
When Wang Qian arrived at the place, he had a big quarrel with the governor Wang Tingzhan, and then immediately hosted a banquet and invited all the Zheshe households to have fun. Naturally, everyone responded. You, Wang Tingzhan, are committed to implementing it. The harsh government of the court, I hope the court will give you more support. The support from the court has come, it is a young man who is gold-plated in the local area. These noble families come to Huayang Mansion to learn and eat, maybe they come to see the excitement of Wang Tingzhan. .
The land of abundance has thousands of miles of fertile fields, fertile fields, prosperous people, and abundant reserves.
But when Wang Qian went to Chengdu, what he saw and heard when he entered Shu was that the road was full of bones. He saw many corpses beside dead roads. Struggling on the line of hunger and death, all the people they saw were barely clothed and had no food to eat. The fertile fields were thousands of miles away. They were indeed fertile fields, but they were all overgrown with weeds. The cultivated land was abandoned and famine lay before their eyes.
Wang Qian, who left the most benign place in the capital, finally faced the tragedy of the world for the first time.
Wang Qian knows a word called falling on the road, which means that a person faints from hunger. While walking, he suddenly falls to the ground and never stands up again. After entering Shu, Wang Qian witnessed this several times with his own eyes. .
He finally fully understood for the first time why His Majesty gave Zhang Juzheng unreserved support.
Returning the father-in-law to the land, only four words, is the only chance for the people to live, and the only opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to survive and become strong.
The reasons for the abandonment of cultivated land are extremely complicated. It is annexation, excessive taxes, tax evasion, and apportionment. It is the misery of the people and the precarious situation of the Ming Dynasty.
After Wang Qian entered Shu from Baima Pass, he saw a village called Shenghua Village. In this village, there was not a single man, and they were all women and children. After careful questioning, Wang Qian learned from Tiqi Qian Hukou After learning the reason, the local county hall gathered strong men to work for prominent families in the name of levying labor force. All the men fled to the mountains and became bandits.
On the 15th day of August in the eighth year of Wanli Period, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The bright moon hangs high in the sky. There is a peaceful atmosphere in Chengdu. Chengdu is the largest city in the southwest and has always been prosperous. The bright moon sheds layers of silvery white. It was sprinkled on the well-proportioned streets, with shops lined up in rows, and high-speed cars and horses flowing continuously on the streets, flocking towards Huayang University.
Wang Qian stood on the high pavilion of the school, watching the cars driving into the school, showing a gentle smile.
"Is that Yang Ningren of the Xindu Yang family?" Wang Qian looked at a figure. The Yang family's carriage had arrived, and Yang Ningren came in person, which was quite grand.
Zhao Qianhu nodded and said: "Yes, the Yang family in Xindu has four mansions in Chengdu. The largest one is located on the north side of Zhengfu Street inside Qingyuanmen, covering an area of about 40 acres, with a multi-story complex. , swaying in the air, there are 234 musicians in the mansion, everyone is beautifully painted, singing and dancing all night long, advocating elegance and beauty, the goddess is charming, the skirt is hand-in-hand, the woman next to Yang Ningren is the head of the mansion Hua Dan is called Luo Xiangxian.” In the place where fine wines are distributed, Yang Ningren has two hundred servants. These are the servants in Yang's house. There is a lackey Taihehui in the city, which is a gang with more than three thousand people. There are nearly a thousand people in the government office documents, all of whom are Yang's. running dog.
Does the Prince of Shu care about it? With the vassal ban, the Prince of Shu had to apply to the emperor to even leave the palace, and often did not receive approval or response.
Wang Qian looked at the leading actress Luo Xiangxian and shook his head. However, there was a beautiful lady named Liu Qiniang in the Yongsheng Woolen Official Factory. She used to be the Yanxing Tower before the official woolen factory flourished. Wang Qian had seen so many beauties and wanted to take a look at her, but he had never seen her because she was one of His Majesty's people, and everyone in the official factory, large and small, knew her very well.
The people Feng Bao sent to the official factory for placement should be treated as if they were related, whether they were related or not.
In Wang Qian's eyes, this Luo Xiangxian is beautiful, but it is far inferior to Liu Qiniang when she was still in Yanxing Tower, and even worse than Liu Qiniang now. After Liu Qiniang became Zhi Niang, although she did not apply pink and white, she lost a lot of aura. With a more dusty smell and a bookish air, Liu Qiniang, who teaches in the weaving courtyard of the official school for craftsmen and women, is somewhat elegant.
This Luo Xiangxian is too dusty.
The curtain opened and after everyone took their seats, the lights on the stage were brightly lit. Several beauties were sitting on the stage, each holding a musical instrument in their hands. The leading woman held an erhu in her hand. This is a famous Jiangnan master, whom Wang Qian borrowed from the Sun family in Songjiang.
In the night, the ancient stage seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver powder by the moonlight, looking solemn and mysterious.
The famous artist adjusted his posture and gently pulled the strings. The melodious music was like a trickle, slowly smearing in the night. The pathos of the song suddenly opened up, like a violent wind and rain, or like an iron horse coming from the glacier into a dream. It seemed like a story was being told.
The lyrics are "Marrying the Army" and the song is called "Happy Flowers and Full Moon". It is one of the movements composed by Zhu Zaiyu, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty and King of Virtue, and one of the designated movements for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is indispensable for singing and dancing to bring peace to the world. The sacrifice and dedication of the soldiers guarding the border. The war was far away from the hinterland because the war took place on the border. The military march and the full moon are now closely linked.
Zhu Zaiyu’s talent in music is definitely unparalleled in the world. Of course, the biggest regret of the emperor’s uncle Zhu Zaiyu is that he did not cultivate his majesty’s musical ability when he was a boy. His majesty has always been indifferent to these. interest.
In this song, there are the ancient frontier city, the Xiongguan Fortress, the soldiers guarding the border with cold armor and high ambitions, and the figures of distant marquises on the pier who did not close their posts that night, galloping on the grassland, and also the coastal defense. During the inspection, they cut through the waves in the sea. When the song ended, the cheers came one after another.
The lights on the stage dimmed, and when they brightened again, the stage was replaced by beauties from all over the world. There were twelve beauties in total, holding their waists, raising their heads, straightening their swan necks, and wearing extremely bold clothes. Ready to go, this is also a program at the Songjiang Sun Family Boating that Wang Qian borrowed. As the cheerful music plays, big white legs swing on the stage in a very dazzling way. With the movements, professionally trained expressions follow The dancing postures are constantly changing, swaying the hips and swaying the hips, with various styles, and the beauty is as charming as the wind.
Anyone looking at this thing will be confused.
For a person like Wang Qian who is accustomed to extravagance, it was eye-opening when he saw this beauty from all over the world perform for the first time. Sichuan has always been closed-minded, and the singing, singing and dancing are a bit conservative. This scene has never been seen before.
Luo Xiangxian clenched her fists tightly, these beauties from all over the world were so hot! Burner than her! 80% of men like this, and 20% of them are stubborn.
"Are you taking action?" Wang Qian clutched the wine glass in his hand. The Tiqi had already prepared. As long as the glass in Wang Qian's hand fell, there would be a bloody storm.
According to the agreement, when these people gather together, Liu Xian, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan Dusi, will follow the orders of the emperor’s envoy to clean up the servants and gangs in Chengdu Mansion. The more lively the Huayang Academy becomes. , Chengdu Mansion becomes more and more lively.
Wang Tingzhan, governor of Sichuan, Wang Qian was not worried. Wang Tingzhan had already made his choice when he impeached Luo Yao, and he had no way out.
But Liu Xian has more choices. Liu Xian is a local. He ambushes five hundred swordsmen and axemen, breaks the cup as a sign, and kills the people here. The power of the noble family is still in the city. If it is not done, Where the government is located, let alone other places, Liu Xian can choose not to take action, so that he can get more benefits. On the road, Wang Qian looked at the firearms he was escorting, always worrying whether Liu Xian would make the wrong choice. .
Who is stronger, Liu Xian or Qi Jiguang? There is no answer, because they are comrades-in-arms, not enemies.
Liu Xian is famous for his fierceness. If you really want to be the military governor of the Ming Dynasty and separatist power, this is the best opportunity, but your Majesty has special trust in Liu Xian and his son.
Zhu Yijun knew that Liu Xian himself fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life, and Liu Xian's son Liu Wei died for his country in the Battle of Saarhu. He did not become a traitor like Hong Chengchou. Zhu Yijun knew that, Wang Qian didn't know, so Wang Qian had doubts.
If Liu Xian has joined forces with the noble families, Wang Qian's move will be very, very dangerous. The prey in today's trap is not these noble families, but Wang Qian himself.
"Let's do it." Wang Qian saw several places in the west of the city. One after another, the sounding arrows were rising. The sounding arrows exploded in the air with a cloud-piercing scream, shining like stars.
This is a signal, representing that Sichuan General Liu Xian led the military guards to clear out a gang's den of thieves.
Cut its wings, cut off its mouthpiece, and finally cut off its head. Liu Xian made his own choice. The executioner was his son Liu Wei. In other words, Liu Xian had already made his choice. When he left Sichuan to pacify Japan, he had already seen the Ming Dynasty in decline. He did not want to become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. When Liu Wei was in Hunan, he once punched Zhan Shu, the prefect of Mahu, just because this guy took something by force.
Today’s choice is the result of all the choices in the past.
Wang Qian turned the wine glass in his hand and waited for the lights on the stage to darken completely. Wang Qian drank the wine in one gulp, threw it to the ground, and shouted loudly: "In accordance with His Majesty's imperial decree, I supervise the administration of It's a big case. The rebellious traitors will be arrested today. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy! Arriving on the courtyard wall of the academy, the Tiqiu began to enter the courtyard. Four mother cannons were pulled to the door and aimed at the bewildered noble families. The flint-haired muskets in the hands of the Tiqiu were also taken out. He got up, obviously intending to take action as long as there was resistance.
"Wang Yushi, is there any misunderstanding? All of us here are the Ming Dynasty gentry, and the Antu herdsmen are responsible. Why are we meeting each other like soldiers?" Yang Ningren tightened his grip on Luo Xiangxian's thigh, and even touched Luo Xiangxian's face. My hands turned white, it hurt too much.
Wang Qian did not talk nonsense to Yang Ningren at all, and shouted loudly to Zhao Qianhu: "Get it!"
"Everyone, put down your weapons, put your hands on the back of your head, and lie down on the ground. I will count to ten. Anyone who is still standing will be charged with treason!" Zhao Qianhu raised his left hand and said loudly: "Ten , nine..."
"Bold!" The gun in Zhao Qianhu's hand suddenly pointed at a servant, because the murderer suddenly rose up and rushed towards Tiqi. Zhao Qianhu pressed the trigger. Under the action of the spring steel, the fire sickle slid towards the flint, and sparks flew everywhere, igniting the tinder powder in the fire door.
Bang!
There was a gunshot, smoke filled the air, and the particles of black powder in the gun barrel suddenly exploded. Under the pressure and explosion, and under the action of the yin and yang lines, the lead quickly rotated and flew towards the murderer. He hit the murderer directly in the abdomen, blood splattered everywhere, and he screamed again and again.
The melee has begun. The noble families who came here all brought their servants, who are the confidants of the noble families. There are too many life lawsuits in their hands. At this time, the only option is to fight hard. With their weapons in hand, they began to charge towards the Tiqi's line. The smoke was filling the air, and the sounds of gunpowder explosions and shouts of beating and killing came and went.
Two quarters of an hour later, no one dared to stand in the stadium anymore. Zhao Qianhu could not even finish counting to three. The smell of blood echoed in the school. Those people held their heads and shouted loudly. I am afraid that I will never forget this scene for the rest of my life.
“I originally wanted to dig a hole in the school, and then blow up the entire school and these famous families.” Wang Qian, who was very satisfied with the results, looked here and there and was very satisfied.
"What made Wang Yushi give up this idea?" Wang Tingzhan asked curiously.
Wang Qian said with great certainty: "It's poverty."
"Oh?"
"The entire venue is less than two acres of land. If you want to blow it up to the sky, you will need at least five thousand kilograms of gunpowder. One tael of gunpowder costs six coins and two cents of silver. In other words, if you want to blow these two acres of land to the sky, you will need 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder." Two taels of silver. "Wang Qian is indeed very rich, but fifty thousand taels is still a bit too expensive. One-tenth of the price is for the late emperor's mausoleum.
Gunpowder is expensive to make, expensive to transport, and even more expensive to preserve.
“It’s indeed expensive.” Wang Tingzhan said with certainty as soon as he heard this figure.
The arrest of Huayang Academy was very smooth, and the actions of Liu Xian and Liu Wei and his son were also extremely smooth. Several gangs in Chengdu were wiped out, thanks to the car brought by Wang Qian Another carload of firearms, the value of the firearms is fully reflected in Liu Xian's hands.
Zhang Juzheng once taught Zhu Yijun a saying: Don't use people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.
If you have doubts about a person, don't use him. This is good for both the emperor and his ministers. For example, Wang Zhigao, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Juzheng has never wanted this son and daughter's relatives to come to the court again, because Zhang Juzheng doubts Wang Zhigao, even if They are the sons and daughters’ in-laws;
And employing people without suspicion means appointing a person without doubting him. If something goes wrong, solve it and be willing to admit defeat. Every choice in life has already been marked. Ok price.
If you still employ people who are suspicious, both the monarch and his ministers will lose their dignity. The emperor will be worried, and his ministers will not try their best. If you still employ people who are suspicious, you are destined to achieve nothing.
Zhu Yijun has great trust in Liu Xian. If Liu Xian really makes another choice, Zhu Yijun can only accept defeat and appease the Jin Party leader Wang Chonggu and send troops to Sichuan!
Fortunately, that result did not occur.
The first time Wang Qian took action, Sichuan was shaken three times. The pursuit of the Yang family and the liquidation of the Yang family's lackeys took only three months. The Yang family and their lackeys in Xindu , was uprooted.
Liu Wei, the deputy general of Sichuan, led two thousand troops to garrison Bozhou to prevent Yang from Bozhou. He brought the seedlings with him to cause chaos and strengthen the Yang family's momentum in the new capital. Liu Wei's two thousand guest soldiers supported Bozhou Yang. On his forehead, Yang of Bozhou did not dare to make any move, but there were more things that Liu Wei could not do.
The chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou are facing each other offensively and defensively. If Liu Wei really attacks at this time, he will be forcing the chieftains to rebel. Outside the Ming Dynasty, King Mangyinglong of Toungu is about to die. Wait for Mangyinglong to die. , The overseas seedlings are leaderless, and when the chieftains inside the Ming Dynasty and Taungu outside the country cannot cooperate internally and externally, it is not too late to take action.
The reaction of the chieftains to this is quite strange. It is probably due to internal strife among the Han people. It has nothing to do with me. For the chieftains to understand the principle of lips dying and teeth cold, Wang Hua's continued promotion is needed.
When Wang Qian entered Shu, the first ambush battle was fought very beautifully. The chief case he supervised was investigated to the bottom of the matter, including a group of forced and voluntary Ming bureaucrats, who influenced the administration, According to the inspectors, several prefects and their staff, the entire Sichuan ground was in turmoil.
Before receiving Wang Qian’s memorial, the imperial court had already made a round of personnel appointments and went to Sichuan to supplement officials. After receiving the memorial, another round of appointments was made.
The Ming Dynasty is like three people waiting for a trap. If you don’t do it, others will do it.
Wang Qian’s reputation is completely rotten. It’s a foul-smelling one. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion, and the day of harmony and beauty, Wang Qian did something like this. It can be said that there is no etiquette, justice or shame at all. , even dirtier than Yan Shifan’s reputation!
Wang Chonggu was a treacherous minister, and he gave birth to a son who was still a treacherous minister!
Xue Hua Pian's memorial was sent to the cabinet, and they all criticized Wang Qian and Wang Chonggu by the way.
"It's surprising that Wang Cifu didn't take the opportunity to expand his power." Zhu Yijun made an x mark to indicate that he had read it and refused to listen, and said to Feng Bao with some emotion.
Wang Chonggu’s choice is very interesting. He chose to mingle with Sichuan’s prominent families in a physical sense.
This choice is somewhat unexpected, but it makes sense. The territory of the Jin Party is large enough. If it were larger, the emperor and the court would not be able to accommodate it. Wang Qian did not pick and choose among the prominent families. He is actually quite good at cultivating henchmen. As a dandy, he cannot train henchmen and is not worthy of being a dandy.
Wang Qian chose Yiguoduan, which was obviously given by Wang Chonggu before leaving.
"Wang Cifu is respectful. I am not speaking for Wang Cifu. In recent years, the errands Wang Cifu has done in the court are obvious to all." Feng Bao rarely said a kind word for the ministers. I don't know. I thought he had accepted a bribe from Wang Chonggu, but Feng Baoke, Wang Chonggu, Yang Bo, Ge Shouli and other members of the Jin Party scolded him very fiercely.
Feng Bao really confiscated Wang Chonggu’s money. Your Majesty rewarded you with enough money. Your Majesty hates those dogs that eat inside and outside. He doesn’t want to be like Chen Hong and be made into a taxidermy in the Jiecuyuan. .
Feng Bao stood from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty and said a few good words for Wang Chonggu. His Majesty's words were a relatively dangerous signal.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and it is always the courtiers who can directly threaten the emperor.
"What you said makes sense." Zhu Yijun agreed. This time Wang Chonggu's choice in the Sichuan Zhutou case added a thick layer of holy family members to the old Wang family.
"Wang Qian's method is easy to use, but it can only be used once. No one will be fooled next time, and only he can use it." Zhu Yijun was quite pity, and was disappointed with Wang Qian's arrogance and domineering behavior. Have an in-depth understanding.
"Promote the prince, and after returning to the capital, he will serve as the censor of Qiandu." Zhu Yijun promoted Wang Qian, but still worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was promoted to three ranks in a row and climbed to the fourth rank.
This official position is actually very low. Yan Shifan started out as Shangbaosi Shaoqing, Xu Jie's son. He also started as Shangbaosi Shaoqing, a fifth-rank official. Wang Qian was only a seventh-rank official in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The sons of Zhang Juzheng, the supervisory censors, also started as doctors of the fifth grade.
Wang Qian has made great contributions to Zhu Yijun and helped Hai Rui investigate corrupt officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He also did a good job on this job, so naturally he should be promoted.
Zhu Yijun finished reviewing most of the memorials, threw those impeaching Wang Qian into the trash can, and said to Feng Bao: "I will order to the British Government, the Chengguo Government, and the Dingguo Government. The palace will hold a memorial ceremony for Yongling in the suburbs tomorrow, and let Emperor Shizong know the news of the arrest of the Yang family in the new capital."
Master Dao's intentions are difficult to find, and Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen must have died well. The Taoist master, who was still very young at that time, let the two of them go, which eventually led to an endless stream of imitators who stepped on the emperor to gain fame. This happened many times during the Jiajing period.
The Yang family in Xindu suffered such a misfortune. It would be a lie to say that they had no personal grudges.
"Former Sichuan Governor Luo Yao, just deprive him of his official status and never use it again when he returns home. Mr.'s disciples should always be treated with extra leniency. What do you think, Feng Bao?" Zhu Yijun looked at the hand in his hand. The memorial was slightly hesitant. This was not the first time that he had forgiven Zhang Juzheng's disciples. Zhu Yijun also forgave Gao Qiyu when he did that kind of thing in Yingtian Mansion.
Feng Bao thought for a moment, then reminded: "Your Majesty, Mr.'s floating ticket said that he was exiled to Yunnan. If the law is not strict, it cannot be believed. If the law is not believed, it cannot be cured. Now that the Ming Dynasty Huidian has been repaired, it is natural to Acting in accordance with the law and abolishing public affairs for private purposes may break the trust of the world and make people uneasy. Luo Yao patrolled Sichuan as the censor of Zuodu and colluded with the local prominent families. If he indulges in private affairs easily, he may attract criticism. "
"Your Majesty, what Gao Qiyu did was not a matter of punishment."
The mistakes Gao Qiyu committed are completely different from those of Luo Yao. In the final analysis, Gao Qiyu directly offended the Ming Emperor himself, and His Majesty, the person involved, does not care. , others have no right to care about it, it is private; but Luo Yao connived and protected, which led to the further deterioration of the situation in Sichuan, it was public;
Therefore, according to the Ming Dynasty Law, exile to Yunnan is already a lenient treatment.
"Then let's go into exile in Yunnan as the teacher said." Zhu Yijun finally chose exile. This was a business matter.
When the rules are broken, they are completely broken.
"When will Xu Wei come to Beijing?" Zhu Yijun asked Xu Wei, Governor of Nagasaki, who had returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
