Deng Ping opened his eyes suddenly, "Speak clearly!"
He Guangyi sighed, "Want to understand? Ask your brother-in-law!"
Deng Ping was silent.
And He Guangyi sighed again, "It's been a troubled year!"
"How can you be so angry?" Deng Ping was puzzled. "The civil servants are making trouble and they can't cause any trouble. In the end, they will be disgraced and disgraced!"
"You!" He Guangyi looked at him, "It's better to ask your brother-in-law about everything!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are not outsiders!" Deng Ping said again.
He Guangyi smiled and said, "You'd better ask your brother-in-law!"
"My brother-in-law?" Deng Ping thought about it, "He talks like you, in a cloud..."
"That's your brother-in-law too!" He Guangyi responded, suddenly pulled down his cloak, exposed his face, and looked ahead.
In the dark of night, a person without a lantern came walking through the rustling snow.
"Fourth!" He Guangyi asked, "Looking for me?"
"I've told you many times, I am a junior!" On a cold day, Guo Guanseng wore a round-necked cotton robe, which looked no different from an ordinary royal guard.
"Is there something wrong?" He Guangyi asked with a smile.
Guo Guanseng glanced at Deng Ping, who immediately understood his interest and said, "I'll do a patrol over there!"
Then, there were only two chiefs of the Jinyi Guards left under the wall.
"Check it out!" Guo Guanseng glanced at the officials still kneeling outside the Meridian Gate.
He Guangyi squinted his eyes, "Yeah!"
"Arrest people now?" Guo Guanseng asked.
He Guangyi thought about it and said, "Wait until they withdraw! Do it now, in the middle of the night, they will start making noise again, shouting, "Long Live the Lord!"
"Yes!" As he said this, Guo Guanseng leaned against the wall and began to take a nap with his eyes closed.
Snow suddenly fell again.
There was also wind, which made the fire crackle.
Some of the kneeling people are still stubborn, while some have reached the point of collapse.
"Your Majesty, are you really not willing to meet the officials?"
Suddenly, someone pulled his neck and shouted.
Immediately, the shout was echoed by many feeble howls.
"Fuck!" He Guangyi closed his eyes and cursed.
"These scholars can really make a scene!" Guo Guanseng opened his eyes and looked in front of the Meridian Gate.
"Ha!" He Guangyi sneered, "Where the hell is this!"
"Is there any more trouble?" Guo Guanseng turned his head.
"You, let's learn!" He Guangyi wrapped his cloak tightly again, but it still couldn't block the biting cold wind.
"How dare they continue to make trouble?" Guo Guanseng asked.
"Not necessarily in the capital, but locally...it's hard to say!" He Guangyi said, "Do you think the south is as obedient as the north?" He said, sighing, "There are still troubles, it's a troubled year!"
"Arrest whoever makes trouble?" Guo Guanseng said with a bit of cruelty on his face.
He Guangyi moved, as if his shoulder was itchy, and kept rubbing against the wall, "Can it be solved by scratching?" He opened his eyes and said, "Back then, you were like a red-eyed rat, and you attacked the inside of Jinyiwei!"
"I am now thinking that a moth is a moth!"
"Then why don't you catch me?"
He Guangyi's words immediately left Guo Guanseng speechless.
"You didn't catch me, but you scared me. The people below have restrained themselves a lot and don't dare to mess around!" He Guangyi sneered, "Remember, stability is more important than anything else!"
"I don't understand!"
"Go home and ask your fourth uncle!" He Guangyi curled his lips.
The fourth uncle he was talking about was Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.
"My fourth uncle has not been in good health recently!" Guo Guanseng said, "I just received a letter from my hometown. I heard that the emperor encountered something like that a few days ago. I almost passed away without even thinking about it!"
He Guangyi turned his head and said seriously, "Have you reported it to the emperor?"
"Reported, the official has just come out of Qianqing Palace!"
He Guangyi narrowed his eyes, "What did Long Live Lord say?"
"Sigh! Sigh all the time!" Guo Guanseng said.
"I'm asking about what's going on over there!" He Guangyi pouted at Baiguan again.
"That's what the official said!" Guo Guanseng said expressionlessly.
He Guangyi said again, "There are no specific regulations?"
"You are the leader, ask me?"
Just as He Guangyi was about to speak, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in front of him.
He glanced at Guo Guanseng and hurried forward to greet him.
~~
"The Emperor asked me to tell you a few words!"
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong pulled He Guangyi, and the cat was in an inconspicuous corner.
"You say!"
"Hey... The emperor said that he doesn't want to see the person. If you arrest him, don't make too much noise. Just arrest him. Don't humiliate him!" Li Jinglong said solemnly, "After all, those few people are talking about it. , even if he is a bit pedantic, he is not really a treacherous and evil person!"
"You've already made such a fuss, why don't you commit evil and evil?" He Guangyi sneered.
"This is what Long Live Lord said!" Li Jinglong lowered his face.
Suddenly, He Guangyi did not dare to say anything.
"Long live the Lord said it! People, stupidity and badness can happen in a single thought!" Li Jinglong continued, "It's not just interests that go to your head, it may also be for reputation or for others. In the court, opinions cannot be used. If we don’t get along, we will treat the other party as bad, do you understand?”
He Guangyi rolled his eyes, "Treat them differently?"
"It's always so easy to talk to you!" Li Jinglong smiled.
"Those who take the lead are those who lead, those who are in series are those who are in series, those who support the fire from behind are those who support the fire, and those who come forward to spread the cause are those who are spreading the show!" He Guangyi said like a jingle, "Catch them equally and treat them differently."
"Be specific?" Li Jinglong asked knowingly.
"The difference in treatment is whether they have other mistakes!" He Guangyi whispered, "Some people are stupid, but some people are really bad! You don't have to care about stupid people, but they are stupid and let others chase them away. I thought I was a fucking red-crowned crane! The bad guy needs to be found out and find out what other bad things he has done!"
As he spoke, he sneered, "I'm good at finding faults and settling old scores!"
Li Jinglong said nothing and gave a thumbs up.
"It's a troubled time!" Li Jinglong said again, "Be cautious!"
"I understand!" He Guangyi handed over his hand, "Thank you!"
"Which one of us is following who?" Li Jinglong rolled his eyes at him.
~~
Hululu!
A huge iron grate is placed on the charcoal stove.
On the top of the iron grate, there is an open copper kettle on the left, and a few roasted sweet potatoes on the right.
Hou Yong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, carefully turned over the sweet potatoes.
Next to him, Bao Zhao picked up the copper pot and filled several empty cups with tea.
The tea is reddish brown and is saffron scented tea with rock sugar added.
"This sweet potato was rewarded by the emperor in the autumn!" Hou Yong, dressed in coarse cloth, spoke slowly, "The mountains in Fujian have grown a variety of this kind of potato this year. I think many people will be less miserable because of it." !”
As he said this, he didn't mind the heat, so he opened it with a grin, revealing the fragrant yellow flesh.
After taking a bite, he continued, "If this thing had existed in the early years, why would the Central Plains and other places be so miserable!" As he said that, he seemed to remember something, "The years when I was the chief minister in the Central Plains coincided with the successive years of the imperial court. Use troops outside the Great Wall!"
"Officers and soldiers from the guard station were transferred to the front line, and the strong laborers became civilian laborers, and livestock, money and food were raised on the spot!" Hou Yong said, "Every victory was so great that even Emperor Meng Yuan was almost arrested. It sounds like a boost. But when it comes to people's livelihood,
?Hey, some families among the people will drown to death after giving birth to a girl..."
Opposite him, Yan Zhen, the censor of the right capital, sighed and said, "Everything comes from the people, but the lives of the people... just survive!"
"Yes, the people are suffering!" Yang Jing, another censor, also said, "The people are afraid of war, but those high-ranking families are not afraid. When there is a war, they are the ones who collect the money and food from the people. Haha, they hope that the people will all
If they die outside, or if the peasants borrow money from them and bribe officials to escape from the service, then they will have every reason to annex the land!"
"Just by collecting grain and helping to collect taxes, they have made a lot of money!" Ruyu, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also among them, and said, "When I was participating in politics in Fujian, there was a Japanese pirate incident. The imperial court ordered the local chief minister to use troops, and the chief secretary
Allocate food and wages to the people below. Ha, the gentry below have been given double the amount! The extra money has gone into their own pockets!"
"So, it is virtuous policy to divide the land between farmers and farmers!" Bao Zhao hugged the tea cup, "It is also virtuous policy for the officials and gentry to share the food together!" He said, sighing, "The emperor is right, if this shortcoming is not corrected, the Ming Dynasty will be like this
Looks good on the outside, but rotten on the outside. The common people are still miserable, and the gentry are still fat!"
"It's cooked! It's fragrant!" Hou Yong ate the roasted potatoes and exhaled the heat, "Try them all!"
Immediately, seeing everyone picking up Hongshu, he continued, "A good policy is not afraid of distortion. At least it can be adjusted if it is distorted. The only thing I'm afraid of is that it will be violated locally! Such troubles in the capital are just the beginning. Locally...especially in the south
, the gentry and the officials are like brothers born from the same mother's womb, inseparable!"
"Haha!" He rarely said a bad word, and everyone around him laughed.
"It's the end of the new year. After the new year, it's February, and February is the spring of the exam!" Hou Yong said again, "You still have to be careful!"
"The emperor's intention is very obvious, arrest the big ones in the capital and let the small ones go!" Bao Zhao pondered, "What about the local level? Virtuous government is good government, but local stability is also of great importance. Li Zhigang, who does not recognize his relatives, is too afraid of death.
few!"
"I actually admire him a little!" Censor Yan Zhen sighed, "If I were put in his position, I would never have the courage!"
"Do you think it's a good thing?" Yang Jing glanced at him, "If you make a fuss now, you will clear up the order in the future!"
"When there is a commotion in the local area, there will definitely be many vacancies!" Hou Yong clapped his hands and then wiped them on his clothes, "I am in charge of the staff department, and people have started to send messages in the past two days!"
"Haha, there are so many smart people!" Baozhao said with a smile, "Who is it? Our Integrity Agency hasn't arrested anyone for a long time!"
"What kind of crime is it to recommend oneself?" Hou Yong glanced at him.
"I want to remind you to use caution!" Bao Zhao said coldly.
Hou Yong smiled and said, "The teacher's warning before he left has been ringing in my ears."
The teacher he mentioned was the late Wenhuadian University Scholar Ling Han.
"I've called a few of you here today because I want to say that you should all think about what the old man said!" Hou Yong blew into the tea bowl and whispered, "The Qingliu of the Southern School...can be defeated but will not fall...that's right.
We will not allow him to fall. Therefore, we cannot follow their tactics and trample on them desperately."
"Let's put aside all the grudges at this time. The top priority is to help the emperor sort out the new policy!" After saying that, Hou Yong put down the tea bowl, "Don't let your disciples make trouble down there!" At this point, he sighed, "It's a troubled year!
Keep a low profile, be cautious, and don’t let others take advantage of you!”
