In front of the Jin Yiwei, especially in front of the Jin Yiwei who has received the emperor's order, it is best not to show pretentious behavior or reveal the possibility.
Bai Yuxiu didn't want to pretend at this moment. He only asked this question because he was now the head of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest the officials under his rule.
After asking, Bai Yuxiu frowned, and then realized that she shouldn't have asked, and just let people take her away.
Among the Xinxue classmates in the book and newspaper bureau, there are still many who have never served as officials.
The flag officer of Jinyiwei, who led people into the office of the Wenxuan Company, looked at Bai Yuxiu with a slightly solemn look on his face.
If he hadn't known that the young officer in charge of the Literature and Selection Department in front of him was from the Xinxue sect, a few days ago, through the handwriting of the emperor's grandson, the emperor agreed, and Xie Xueshi brought him to His Majesty. He would have warned him about anything he said.
It’s time.
The commander-in-chief’s eyelids showed a thoughtful expression.
Bai Yuxiu's eyes moved, and he immediately added an explanation: "I first took up the position of the Literature and Selection Department, and everything in the department is complicated. At present, rebels are everywhere in Henan Road and Shandong Road, and the local officials are involved. The imperial court needs to sort out the new officials of the two departments as soon as possible.
The appointment also has to fill the gap of officials requested by the Grand Sun Office to fill the vacancies. The department is complicated and the manpower is insufficient. I hope the general banner will know about it."
The flesh on the face of the flag officer of Jinyiwei, who lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, loosened a little.
This young boss, who is secretly watched by countless elders and whose future is almost limitless, has already given himself a step up.
The chief flag officer coughed lightly and bowed his hand as a return gift, which was also considered as leaving a trace of incense. He looked down at the officials of various departments in the office of the Wenxuan Company.
"It is stated in the edict that this time the Emperor's grandson visited the west and took charge of the relief work in Henan Province. He was arrogant and treacherous, causing chaos and swaying public opinion with the intention of deposing the Emperor's grandson. The affairs of the imperial court, the country, and the foundation of the royal family.
, when will these people be allowed to speak up?"
The flag officer of Jinyiwei asked back, then closed his mouth and glanced at the officials in the office of the literary selection company.
Several people are already fighting with their buttocks and their faces are turning pale.
Bai Yuxiu moved her steps. What the other party said was enough to give her face.
Your Majesty will not tolerate those people interfering in the affairs of the country. He is even more dissatisfied that the emperor's grandson went to the west and took charge of the relief work in Henan Province, but he allowed these people to write a letter to abolish the establishment sooner or later after the rebellion.
What does this mean?
Bai Yuxiu's eyes glanced at the officials in the public room, whose expressions changed greatly after the arrival of the Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers.
There are really a lot of people looking for Xianke and opening courses.
Bai Yuxiu also raised her hands to the approaching flag officer: "The tired flag is released, the flag is light."
After finishing speaking, Bai Yuxiu took the teacup and walked towards the window in the public room that looked out onto the Yamen courtyard.
Outside the window, in each department room of the Libu Yamen, there were figures of Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers of the imperial family coming in and out. One by one, the officials of the Libu Bureau were taken out of the office by the officers and soldiers and escorted outside the Yamen.
"If someone comes, take him away according to his name."
The flag officer of the Imperial Guard, who was standing in the office of the Wenxuan Company, waved his hand again, and the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately took out the roster.
All the officials of the Literature and Selection Department who were called out by name trembled all over. Those whose names were not called out quickly walked to Chief Bai Yuxiu who was standing under the window.
An invisible gap appeared in the office building of the small anthology company.
"Take them all away." Seeing that all the people to be arrested were gathered, the general flag officer shouted, and then said to Bai Yuxiu: "I'm sorry to disturb Chief Bai's work, so I'll leave you alone."
Bai Yuxiu turned around and nodded: "Excuse me."
The two ended their brief conversation, and Bai Yuxiu continued to look at the officials outside the window in silence.
The chief flag officer turned around and walked out of the literary selection company's office.
Those detained officials of the Literature and Selection Department acted out a variety of life scenes.
"Master! Master Bai!"
"I'm asking my boss to save me. We haven't done anything. We really haven't done anything."
"Ask the boss to take action."
The officials of the Literature and Selection Department who were taken away began to cry and beg for mercy, hoping to have a chance to survive.
Everyone knows that as long as an official is taken away by the Jin Yiwei, he will basically form a strong bond with death.
Bai Yuxiu looked sideways at these officials who had shied away from her affairs, and remained silent and turned a deaf ear.
Wait until the last person is taken out of the office of the Wenxuan Company by the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
Bai Yuxiu's gaze had just been withdrawn from the window, and he walked lightly back to his desk: "There is an official vacancy in Henan Province..."
"Reporting to the chief, there is a vacancy of officials in Henan Province. The list will be sorted out within three days of opening the department."
The officials of the Literary and Selection Department who survived the capture by the Jin Yiwei rushed out to answer the question immediately.
Bai Yuxiu nodded and looked at the remaining people: "Seven or eight people from the Literary and Selection Department have gone to the Literary and Selection Department today. In the past, they probably required a lot of hard work from you all."
After the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers made such a fuss today, the officials in the public house had long lost their so-called morale, and everyone spoke one after another.
"That's my responsibility."
Bai Yuxiu said with a smile: "There is a lot of commotion in the Yamen today. After I go to the Yamen, I will treat you all to a drink."
The surviving officers of several departments immediately said in unison: "It has been a few days since the principal came to the Literature Selection Department. The affairs in the department have been busy recently, so we have been delayed in taking care of the principal. There is probably nothing we can do in the department today, so why don't we take advantage of it?"
Taking this opportunity to go to the Qinhuai River to host a banquet for the principal can be regarded as a break from today's messy affairs."
Jiaofangsi is the housekeeper's place. Although it is also a place of romance, it is not as relaxing as the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away.
Bai Yuxiu smiled, looked at these officials who were very different from the previous moment, and nodded: "This will cost you all."
As soon as he said these words, there was a burst of laughter in the literary selection company's office, which was completely different from the atmosphere in other places in the official office outside the office.
Not to mention the progress of Bai Xiuyu, a young Xinxue official, in the officialdom.
Outside the official office, Qinglong Street has long been blocked by Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers of the imperial family.
As officials from various ministries and yamen were taken out, Qinglong Street, which was not long, became even more crowded, with people almost leaning against each other, chest against back, and spreading out to Chongli Street in the south.
The White Tiger Lord is killing all the people on the left and right of Baihu Street to the west of Hongwu Gate in Yingtian East City. There are yamen such as the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
As for Qinglong, which governs vitality, on Qinglong Street to the east of Hongwu Gate, there are the Liubu Yamen and the Hanlin Academy, Zhanshi Mansion, Imperial Hospital, and Zongren Mansion Yamen.
At the corner of Chongli Street turning to the north, several young men in green shirts with ink stains on their bodies had their hands clasped together and hidden in their cuffs that had been blackened by ink stains.
A few people stood on the roadside, silently watching everything happening on Qinglong Street.
Hu Wenhai, who has now won two imperial examinations, is observing the politics of the imperial court, and works in the Publishing House and Newspaper Bureau every day. He looks at Sun Qingshu, who is the general manager of the Publishing House and Newspaper Bureau next to him.
Hu Wenhai whispered: "They are all people of Neo-Confucianism."
Sun Qingshu shook his head: "They are all from gentry families. Some of them are from Henan Province, Shandong Province, and some from Huguang and other places."
Hu Wenhai took a few more glances at the chaotic scene on Qinglong Street. Those Beijing officials who were naturally high-ranking in the past were now gray-headed and gray-faced. They lowered their heads one after another for fear of being recognized by their former colleagues in the court. In the presence of the officers and soldiers,
After being detained, he walked up Chongli Street.
Hu Wenhai hesitated and said: "I still don't understand how those people came up with the idea of coercing the so-called public opinion and begging to depose the emperor's grandson. They think that the emperor's grandson can be deposed with just a word from them.
of?"
Sun Qingshu was much older than Hu Wenhai. It was just because of bad luck that he had never been admitted to the imperial examination for these two subjects, so he stayed at the Book and Newspaper Bureau to settle down and work while studying the mind.
As you get older, you should always be calmer.
Sun Qingshu looked at Hu Wenhai with a smile: "Do you think this matter is over today? Do you think our Majesty only has this kind of means and temperament?"
Hu Wenhai's eyes widened, and he asked in amazement: "Your Majesty, the sword that has been hanging for several days has fallen. Is this matter still not settled?"
Behind the two of them, the other younger Xin Xue disciples also looked confused.
Sun Qingshu sneered: "When did your majesty only have this knife? Today is just the first dish on the table."
After finishing speaking, Sun Qingshu waved his robe full of ink spots. Compared with watching these officials being arrested by the Jin Yiwei, he would rather write a few more articles on the principles of Xinxue.
The current situation will be another opportunity for Xinxue.
After making up his mind, Sun Qingshu stopped walking and turned around to let the book and newspaper office walk back.
Hu Wenhai stopped for a while. After all, scenes like today on Qinglong Street are rare, probably only a few times in a lifetime.
Just looking at it, Hu Wenhai found it boring. After these people were sent to prison, they would just be beheaded. Are there not many heads that have been beheaded in Yingtian City over the years?
After thinking about it, Hu Wenhai recalled what Sun Qingshu said earlier.
"They are all a bunch of idiots! Do you think His Majesty has ignored government affairs in the past two years, and that means he really doesn't care about anything?"
Hu Wenhai cursed in a low voice, then shook his head and turned around. He glanced back at several young disciples of Xinxue, and shouted: "Go back, this issue of the magazine will start being sent to Jiaozhi Road."
Yes, you can’t miss the date."
The young people looked at the bustling Qinglong Street and could not move their feet.
Hu Wenhai could only shake his head with a wry smile. Most young people are like this, although he is also young.
Waving his hand, Hu Wenhai, like Sun Qingshu, went back to the book and newspaper office.
At this moment, elsewhere in Yingtian City, because the Jinyi Guards were ordered to arrest the officials of various departments and yamen in Qinglong Street, countless people turned their attention to the East City, to the commander of the Jinyiwei, the yamen and the Imperial City.
Many officials were arrested today, and it was not just limited to the officials on both sides of Qinglong Street. Officials from other government offices in the city were also arrested.
When a person is caught, it is treated as if he has committed something illegal.
When one person after another is arrested, everyone knows that something big is going to happen.
A large number of officials abandoned their errands and forgot about the rules of the Yamen. They all ran to the Jinyiwei Yamen, hoping to get a clear answer.
Countless officials wearing blue robes and green robes gathered at the entrance of Jinyiwei Yamen, almost blocking half of Baihu Street.
"When did the Jinyiwei Yamen become so unreasonable?"
"With just one edict, countless officials from various ministries and yamen in Beijing can be arrested?"
"If you can take so many people today, will your Jin Yiwei send all the officials in the city to prison in the future?"
Countless officials, blushing and flushed, crowded in front of the Jinyiwei Yamen, criticizing and criticizing the Jinyiwei Yamen for their arrogance and tyranny.
The Jin Yiwei commander looked at the officials in front of him with an indifferent expression.
He knew very well that these people were simply afraid that one day the Jinyiwei Yamen might send them to prison just like today.
If the commander had not given an explanation earlier, His Majesty's order would have ordered today's affairs to end with all the lawless people identified. He would have ordered these people to be sent to prison for the crime of gathering a crowd to make trouble and disobeying orders.
Be scared.
It’s hard to say, but we can also find some fish that slipped through the net from these people.
The commander of Jinyiwei who came out to deal with these officials took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei Yamen imperial power charter!"
Today's matter also has His Majesty's oral instructions, and the Yamen of this department has conclusive evidence.
If you don’t believe it, you can go to the palace and ask the Holy Spirit to find out.
If you dare to gather a crowd here again and obstruct the Imperial Guards from carrying out the execution, I will definitely convict you of being a comrade and send you to the imperial prison for careful interrogation. Why do you want to speak out for those who made the decree?"<
/p>
The commander of the Jin Yiwei looked at every official blocking the Yamen with cold eyes.
The words are full of threats.
Everyone who was touched by his gaze, under the threat of being designated as an accomplice, lowered their excited and high-spirited heads.
In the crowd, someone shouted.
"His royal guards are unreasonable and disrespectful of the laws of the country. We will go and see His Majesty!"
"Enter the palace!"
"I'll enter the palace soon!"
Seeing that they could not get the promise they wanted in front of the Jinyiwei Yamen, the gathered officials began to move towards West Chang'an Avenue to the north of Baihu Street.
Just before he could take a few steps, a group of pro-army soldiers came out from the West Chang'an Gate escorting several eunuchs from the inner palace.
The officials walking at the front of the crowd looked at it and stepped forward quickly.
"Several eunuchs, we request to see His Majesty today, and we ask for your help in reporting."
"The Jinyiwei Yamen has no regard for the laws of the country, is arrogant and domineering, and is not like a human minister. We will ask His Majesty to judge him."
"..."
The crowd became restless.
But the few eunuchs in the inner palace who left the imperial city under the escort of the emperor's personal army looked calmly at the crowd blocking Baihu Street.
The leading eunuch glanced at Si Yamen, the general affairs envoy who was blocked behind the crowd, and glanced unluckily at the crowded Baihu Street.
"Since everything is blocking the road and the Za family can't get to the General Administration Department, I'll tell you here."
The leading eunuch's tone was gentle, but it felt quite harsh.
And he also continued: "Your Majesty has a decree to ask the General Affairs Department to inform the yamen of all the ministries and departments in the capital. This year, all the government offices and yamen in the court hall will be inspected. He ordered His Highness the General Office of the King of Qin to inspect all matters in the capital this year.
All ministries and agencies should conduct self-examination, self-examination, and self-examination, and don’t say that what you said was unpredicted.”
The emperor wants to inspect the capital!
And it was specifically chosen at this time. There were rebellions all over Henan Province and Shandong Province. Today, when the Imperial Guards were searching for officials in the capital, His Majesty the Emperor actually announced that he would inspect all the officials in the imperial court.
The crowd changed from excitement to whispers.
They went to the Jinyiwei Yamen because the officials were taken away by the Jinyiwei today, and they went to use the law of the court as an excuse. Their intention was just to reiterate that the arbitrary power of the Jinyiwei that was authorized by the imperial authority should be restrained.
But now, the Beijing investigation is the real direct matter, and it is about to affect everyone.
In an instant, the officials on Baihu Street calmed down.
The eunuch, who was leaving the palace to deliver the decree to the General Affairs Office, looked sarcastically at these court officials who were armed with tricks but extremely cowardly.
The leading eunuch said quietly: "Everyone, do you want to go back to the palace with your family to report to your majesty? Do you want to meet the emperor?"
The crowd stopped responding.
At this time, no one will have any thoughts of entering the palace to meet the emperor.
No one needed to remind me, just a gust of wind left Baihu Street with only dust floating on the empty street.
……
"I don't want it!"
"I won't do it!"
"This time, no matter how hard you punish your son, he won't do it anymore!"
While the officials outside the imperial city who had been frightened today were so angry that they did not dare to go out, inside the palace and the Huagai Hall, there was a burst of hoarse opposition.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qian, who was also responsible for the six-way field tax.
He held his head high and his chest high, his face flushed and angry. After roaring, he tightened his face. His face was firm and unyielding, with a decisive attitude that would not change even if the mountain collapsed. He knelt down firmly in the cold hall with his legs.
On top of gold bricks.
Not far in front of Zhu Xi, Prince Zhu Biao sat cross-legged on a low platform with several piles of state memorials in front of him. Even under the roars of his brothers, he could still maintain a calm mood, flipping through it from time to time.
He finished the memorial, and he could still look sideways at Zhu Xi from time to time.
Directly in front of Zhu Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang had his hands on his hips, his face full of black anger, and his expression was gloomy as he stared at his second son who was announcing loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, he just put his hands on his hips and stared at Zhu Xi calmly.
The old man's strange reaction made Zhu Xiang, who was still roaring and trying to resist, feel paralyzed in his heart.
Zhu Xi glanced at the boss next to him quietly, and his heart sank when he saw that the other man was still reading the memorial.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Ping lowered his head involuntarily and said in a much softer voice: "Father, my son is still doing the work of changing the land tax in the Sixth Road. You have asked your son to take charge of the capital inspection.
Even the donkeys in our hometown are not handled like this."
After just saying these two words, Zhu Xi's face was full of grievances, and his heart was filled with incomparable resentment.
I might as well have died on the way to Yingtian. Since I returned to Yingtian, I have been tricked into Zhejiang Road, and then I have been tricked into the six-way field tax errand.
Nowadays, I still have to do the work of Beijing Police.
If you co-author, you can only do things that offend others?
The ladies in Prince Qin’s Mansion have almost forgotten what they look like!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, with a faint look in his eyes: "Go on, tell me everything, tell me all the pain in your heart these past few years."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were already on the belt around his waist.
