The poor queen was the one who took the blame for them without knowing anything.
but……
The cabinet rejected the decree.
As for the reason, it is very simple. The Queen has previously decreed that all those who rebelled will be let go, except for a few who have committed the most heinous crimes. But now she wants to arrest more than 5,000 people at once...
And it's connected.
This is a counter-indictment, and of course it must be implicated.
Although it is true that there is no such rule for the implicated nine tribes, it is still necessary for the implicated three tribes.
This time there are tens of thousands of people again!
By the way, is Her Royal Highness going to learn from her father?
The Queen's accession to the throne has already made the ministers of the DPRK very angry. Recently, many old ministers have even resigned. After all, no matter how you look at it, this top-level group is a combination that brings disaster to the country and the people. Yang Feng was originally regarded as a monster.
The princess openly wears strange clothes every day. It can be said that all the women in the Ming Dynasty have been taught bad things by her, and she is the main culprit for the decline of women's morals. Moreover, the two of them are guarding a witch who only hears her but does not see her. When they come together, they are like
It looks like they are engaging in witchcraft. This kind of court looks like a general without a country, and a gentleman would not bother to associate with it.
Now he has openly reneged on his promise, torn up his previous promise to let things go, and started to go to jail.
I can't bear it!
However……
What good can this do?
The cabinet is just an adviser. They are allowed to draft edicts just because they are good at writing and the edicts they write are beautiful. It does not mean that they are really needed. They are advisers and are not willing to provide opinions, so just stay aside.
The little princess dictated it to the Chief of Ceremonies, and the eunuch, the Chief of Ceremonies, wrote it down, then stamped it and sent it to the Criminal Division.
But it was rejected by the Criminal Division.
Criminal Division.
"I tell you, whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life.
The decree is here.
I can bring it to you for inspection just to give you face.
But don't be shameless.
Her Majesty the Queen is young and has no time to handle government affairs due to her raising the Queen. Therefore, she entrusts me to handle it, and I have to take responsibility. The Queen has indeed issued an order before, except for Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and more than ten people, and all others who rebelled will not be punished.
But that is because the queen did not know the truth about the murder of the late emperor. She did not know that these rebellious ministers and traitors were so crazy. Now that they know the truth, is it worthy of the late emperor's spirit to let them go unpunished now that they know the truth?
Don't you think it's ridiculous that an emperor was murdered and only a few people died?"
The little princess angrily scolded the criminal department for the things they did.
In the regicide case, less than ten people were killed in total, and only a few rebels were in Guangzhou.
In fact, even if Fang Xiaoru is waiting for death, most of his family members have also run away, especially Fang Xiaoru’s whole family. However, the Jinyi Guards have recently captured a few of them, but most of them are indeed still at large. Therefore, the regicide case is really true.
There aren't many. These days, there are so many places where the emperor is far away, so it's easy to run away.
Huang Zicheng's family members also ran away, and the little princess wanted to kill all ten of his clans.
Of course, run quickly.
After all, the imperial court was in chaos before and couldn't care less about this.
"Princess, this is the duty of the Criminal Division. The duty of the Criminal Division is not only to check for omissions in the imperial edict, but also to make remonstrances. How can a monarch change his orders day by day and be capricious? He once pardoned him, but now he is breaking his promise.
How can you convince the world?"
Chen Jingzong couldn't bear it and said.
"Convinced, why should I convince the world?"
said the little princess.
Then she stood up directly.
She was wearing a new type of long skirt, which was cut to show off her figure. Chen Jingzong, who was not far away, was facing a certain part. Because he was hunched over, he could only stare at him if he looked straight, so he had to lower his head and lift his waist.
Bow again. The little princess stood there without any awareness and looked at the remaining seven subjects. At this time, there were eight subjects in the criminal department. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's system. These are all Jinshi in the previous subjects. How many of them are there?
There are still some hard-core officials. For example, Chen Jingzong originally said that after Zhu Di seized the throne, he was summoned to prepare to be reinstated as an official, but he stubbornly wrote a letter to Zhu Di, asking Zhu Di to abdicate. The angry Zhu Di immediately ordered him to be beheaded.
It's a tough guy.
We have reached that point, and those who can still do this are either fools or hard-core.
"Do you think the imperial edict must be convinced by the world? Then my father's imperial edict can be convinced by the world? You said no when I arrested thousands of people. When my father arrested tens of thousands, who dared to say anything? You said this is a capricious change of orders from day to day. I
When Dad kills those who have iron bonds, does anyone dare to say that he is capricious?
No.
The imperial edict is not for you to judge and make irresponsible remarks.
The decree requires you to obey it.
convince?
Be convinced and execute!
Do it even if you are not convinced!
This is the imperial edict!”
she shouted.
Then she slapped the imperial edict that had been refuted by the Criminal Division on the table next to her...
"Hurry up, sign and seal, and send to the Ministry of Punishment to order various places to arrest these rebels."
she shouted.
"Princess, this decree will make the whole world laugh, and the subordinates will not dare to obey the order."
Chen Jingzong said simply.
"Drag him out, the imperial staff is thirty!"
The little princess shouted simply.
The Jin Yiwei behind her immediately stepped forward. At this time, the commander of the Jin Yiwei was still Song Zhong. However, after experiencing a series of previous events, Song Zhong had completely abandoned his moral integrity and became a pawn of Yang Feng and the little princess. After all, he was not right.
The responsibility for the death of King Xiang was all due to the support of the little princess. Besides, the Jin Yiwei were originally minions of the imperial power, and now the little princess represents the imperial power.
"thirty?"
Ambassador Yang, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, said in a long voice.
"Uh, eighty, Tingzhang eighty!"
the little princess shouted.
Jin Yiwei immediately dragged Chen Jingzong out.
The latter looked at Yang Feng...
"Is someone other than your Excellency interfering in our Ming Dynasty affairs?"
Chen Jingzong sneered.
The imperial staff is eighty!
There was no way he could survive. Since he was destined to die, why not scold this evildoer angrily to clear his name?
"You misunderstood. I actually felt that thirty imperial staffs were too much, and wanted to rely on my relationship with the princess to ask for a favor. Unexpectedly, she misunderstood. Princess, you have misunderstood."
Yang Feng said.
"It's a misunderstanding. Just now, Chen Kedao taught me that I must practice what I say as a person and not be capricious. Since I have misunderstood, I can't change it. I can't be capricious as a man. Eighty will be eighty. Just hit me lightly.
After all, I misunderstood."
The little princess said with a smile.
"My subordinate understands!"
Jin Yiwei, who was leading the team, said quickly.
Of course, he is also sensible and can still understand the meaning of hitting lightly.
Chen Jingzong almost vomited blood because of this pair of bitches.
But in the end he had nothing to say. Ambassador Yang said that he meant well, but the little princess had just misunderstood. But the little princess had just been accused by him of being capricious, so even if there was a misunderstanding, it could not be changed.
You can't be capricious. If you say eighty, you have to give it eighty. The little princess has specially reminded Jin Yiwei to be gentler. Is there anything else he is dissatisfied with?
As for after the eighty court staff...
Life or death is up to you!
"As for you..."
The little princess looked at other people doing things.
"Who will sign and seal it?"
She said with a charming smile.
The remaining seven looked at each other, then six of them turned their eyes to the left to Shi Zhong, who could only respond with silence, and then the remaining five turned their eyes to the right to Shi Zhong, who also could only respond with silence.
"I've counted to ten, and if you haven't come forward yet, let's go hit the imperial staff together!"
said the little princess.
Those in charge looked at each other anxiously.
"ten!"
The little princess said suddenly.
Several people looked at her in astonishment.
"Drag them all out to beat the imperial staff!"
the little princess shouted.
Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward.
"Princess, princess, I do, I do!"
The four of them shouted anxiously.
"It's late. I told you to count to ten and come over to sign after you finish!"
The little princess said calmly.
Then each of the seven people performed different reactions, some were sad and angry, some were proud, or some were crying bitterly. They were dragged away by the Jin Yiwei. The little princess sat down leisurely and suddenly snatched the teacup from Yang Feng's hand.
Drink it all eagerly.
"Now I feel that my dad is really awesome."
She said with emotion.
"Nonsense, how many people did he kill, and how many did you kill? That's why the past dynasties have become more and more useless. If your father is really dictatorial in the world, your fourth brother will have to promote eunuchs and even move the capital to ensure control. His sons and grandsons will have to
If you respect civil servants, you will have to fight with them, or even rely on eunuchs. Those who conquer the world will all emerge from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and every hand is stained with blood. They know very well that the root of power is four words, life and death.
.Everything else is illusory. What is destiny, what is the will of the people are illusory, they are all feudal emperors, what is the meaning of the people?
Does it match?
If you scare everyone to death, you will naturally be the supreme one in the world."
Yang Feng said.
"Are you asking her to become a tyrant?"
Sister Liu said very dissatisfied.
"What's the big deal about tyrants? These guys are starting to let themselves go now. We have to let them understand that even if Lao Zhu dies, they won't be able to turn over today. If we don't give them a blow, let them all wake up. We will still be in the future."
Want reform?
Why do you think these guys reacted so calmly to the Queen's succession?
They shouted that the general will not rule the country, but in fact they were secretly happy. They believed that a woman must be easier to deal with than a man, especially the queen was still a baby, and the queen and princess were not the kind of tyrannical. They were very happy.
, just don't say it, look at these things, they have never been really afraid in front of the princess. They all know that the princess, apart from wearing strange clothes and being greedy for money, is actually very talkative.
They are not afraid of her.
At most, because I was following her, I had to pretend to be afraid of her.
But now they are really scared."
Yang Feng said.
He just wanted to show off his power on purpose.
Of course, it is not only about establishing authority, but also about cleaning up the old officials of the imperial court.
The current imperial court has not experienced any real purges, because the little princess directly closed the door. Except for those who were imprisoned in Daqing Hall, other courtiers had no chance even if they wanted to rebel. Therefore, the entire imperial court was basically the result of Lao Zhu's late imperial examination.
Of those officials, at most some wise and self-protective veterans chose to quit. However, due to the special circumstances in the past, there was no purge at the local level. The majority were still Confucian scholars who took the imperial examination. Without them, it would be difficult to carry out effective reforms, such as the reform of the imperial examination. Now the Ministry of Rites can almost say that
Didn't do any real work.
This is even more true locally.
According to the plan, we will start from each county and quickly select talents in various subjects.
But basically no one in the counties moved.
The county magistrates are all Confucian scholars, what a bad choice they have!
In the few counties that have been completed, they just randomly recruited some Confucian scholars and then replaced them with scholars in various subjects. That is to say, the capital and Shanxi were really doing it, and other places were fooled.
But Shanxi is because those emerging industrial and commercial owners originally need this.
However, the clans in the south rely heavily on Confucian farming and reading, so if they want to truly complete it, even if it is only completed to a minimum, they must clean up the officialdom. Since the cleaning was not completed in the previous chaos, it must be done now
If one big prison is not enough, then another one is needed. Lao Zhu used one big prison after another to complete his ruling system. Now if Yang Feng wants to build a new one, and one that will have a greater impact on the gentry, the same thing will happen.
It depends on going to jail one after another.
He can't rely on these people.
The reform is aimed at these people. Will they be stupid enough to dig their own holes and wait for him to push them in one by one?
Of course they don't dare to openly resist, but they can work against him, ruin good things for him, delay them, and even deliberately lead him into the ditch, turning his reforms into anger and resentment. These are what they are good at, these guys' greatest ability
This is it.
Leaving them alone will cause endless harm.
"Your Highness, that Chen Jingzong is dead."
At this time, the Jin Yiwei officer walked in and said cautiously.
"If you die, just die!"
The little princess said calmly.
"other people?"
The officer hesitated to speak.
"continue!"
said the little princess.
"I understand, little one!"
The officer quickly resigned.
Of course, he is sensible. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess did not say that the remaining ones should be treated lightly, and this imperial edict was finally approved by the people from the Criminal Division, it is still necessary to grasp which of the remaining ones should be treated lightly and which ones should be treated seriously.
"There are so many subjects in these six subjects. Hurry up and abolish them. All of them are given to Shizhong, and some are left to Shizhong. It's just a small number of subjects. Why do we need so many people?"
said the little princess.
"Originally in history, Zhu Yunwen cut off the left and right sides, but later your fourth brother restored them."
Yang Feng said.
"Then cut off both the left and right sides."
said the little princess.
"We still need to increase their salaries, but Zhu Yunwen upgraded them all."
Sister Liu said.
"Salary is an ancestral system, how can it be increased casually?"
Yang Feng said.
"Do you remember the ancestral system at this time?"
Sister Liu was speechless.
"Of course, the ancestral system is the ancestral system. The ancestral laws are immutable and the salary cannot be increased. Besides, the salary of the Ming Dynasty is not low. Even if it is the eighth or ninth grade, let alone letting the whole family live a life of ample food and clothing, just buy another
Korean maids are enough.
Of course, if they want to have three wives and four concubines, it is indeed not enough, but the salary given by the court is to make their wives and children have food and clothing, and it is not to make them romantic and happy. Do they have to pay for them to have three wives and four concubines?
It won’t work.”
Yang Feng said.
Of course it cannot be increased. Low salary itself is also a means of cleansing.
Those Confucian scholars of the seventh and eighth grades, with their meager salaries, saw those industrial and commercial people hugging each other, and their own future was bleak, they inevitably thought that I would no longer serve them, so that they could make room for those Jinshi who came from the new imperial examination.
