There were no outsiders in the study, and Qian Qianyi didn't care much anymore. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Tang Jingxiao up and looked him up and down. After confirming again that he had not been beaten, he asked softly: "Tang Tang, is Niu okay?"
It didn't matter. Tang Jingxiao's tears fell like broken pearls. He put a hazelnut in front of Qian Qianyi's stalwart chest and sobbed silently. Qian Qianyi knew that his lover had been wronged and patted her gently.
His back coaxed: "It's okay, it's okay, no one will bully you anymore with my brother here."
Qian Qianyi knew that Liu Ziguang would never take the initiative to release Tang Jingxiao. Seeing Liu Rushi's smiling face, he asked: "If so, what is going on?"
Liu Rushi said: "I was feeling unwell yesterday and was about to go to Tangshan Hot Spring for a dip. But on the way, I met a group of soldiers who captured Young Master Tang and several other young masters. I recognized them as people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.
, and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division was the subordinate of Zhenwuhou, and was just a concubine, so he had no choice but to rush back to the capital overnight, and when the gate opened in the morning, he went to Zhenwuhou Mansion and asked Mrs. Liu to rescue Mr. Tang through various channels.
, Fortunately, Mrs. Liu gave me some mercy and immediately went to Marquis Zhenwu to write a warrant and handed it to me to go to the Military and Horse Department to rescue Young Master Tang and several other young masters. I did not go to the master first but went to find him first.
If you kill Marquis Zhenwu, you won't blame me, right?"
Qian Qianyi thought to himself that Liu Ru was really smart and knew that it would be better to find Mrs. Zhenwuhou than to find him. Fortunately, she went in time, otherwise Tangtang would really have suffered. He immediately said: "In this case, I thank you for your return."
It's too late, so how can we blame it? It's fine as long as everything is fine."
"Who said it's okay? Those soldiers are so cruel to others, brother, you have to help them get revenge. And Zi'ang, he was taken back, and they don't care. Brother, you must save Zi'ang."
Tangtang twisted his snake-like body in Qian Qianyi's arms, making it difficult for Lao Qian to hold him or let him go.
"Jingxiao!" Qian Qianyi said solemnly, and then pressed Tang Jingxiao on the chair and said earnestly: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, it's because he can't help you. Chen Ziang committed a heinous crime and cannot be pardoned no matter what. Could it be that you
Don’t you understand?”
Tang Jingxiao didn't speak, and Qian Qianyi continued: "Jingxiao, this time you put Chen Ziang on medical parole behind my back. This is very unsafe. If political opponents get caught, it will be very difficult for me to do."
Liu Rushi took over the conversation and said: "Master, don't blame Mr. Tang. I did it without telling you. Through the documents issued by Master Qi, if you want to be punished, just punish me."
Qian Qianyi sighed and said nothing. He felt powerless now. It was enough that Tang Jingxiao and Liu Rushi did these things behind his back. But Qi Zhenming also followed suit and actually helped them get Chen Ziang released on medical parole. Isn't this what he said?
Will he cause trouble and provoke a conflict between himself and Liu Ziguang? Qi Zhenming must be guarded against, and Liu Ziguang actually let Tang Jingxiao back so easily. There may be a conspiracy in this, and we must also be guarded against."
Seeing that Qian Qianyi was unhappy, Liu Rushi seemed to have guessed his inner thoughts and said softly: "Master, what are you worried about? Is it something with Marquis Zhenwu? Although I did not see the Marquis today, but
He readily agreed to release Mr. Tang, and did not take the opportunity to ask for any conditions. He should not be a treacherous villain, but an upright man. I don't have to worry about what he will do to Mr. Tang."
While they were talking, Huang Zongxi also came back from Nanchang, and the emperor's handwriting was useless. Nanchang politely told him that he had never seen Mr. Tang at all. Huang Zongxi immediately rushed back to Qian Mansion to report back, and saw Tang Jingxiao sitting safe and sound.
In the study room, he felt relieved.
Huang Zongxi and Tang Jingxiao had some contacts, but it was not a negative relationship, but they just cherished each other's literary talents. Although in the eyes of outsiders, he was introduced to the palace by Qian Qianyi, he was not a member of the Qian family, but a very independent person.
Since Tang Jingxiao was fine, he stopped delaying and went to the palace as usual.
Liu Ziguang really didn't know the relationship between Tang Jingxiao and Qian Qianyi. He thought that Tang Jingxiao was Liu Rushi's foster son. He couldn't help but feel a little sad for Lao Qian. After thinking about it, he found it quite interesting. In Liu Rushi's mind, he
After all, it wasn't her face. Since someone came to ask for help, he was just a handsome boy. Why not sell her this favor? So Liu Ziguang wrote a warrant without hesitation and asked the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to release him.
But what happened later made him a little confused. First, a team of Jin Yiwei went to the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to ask for someone, with an attitude of not giving up if they couldn't find someone. Then Qian Qianyi also happened to come forward. Likewise,
Is it to get people? Later, Huang Zongxi, the now red and purple imperial master, ran to Nanchang with Zhu Youxiao's handwriting. It was also to save people. If it was just to save Liu Rushi's face, this matter can be said
It makes no sense. The only possibility is that this boy named Tang has an extremely close relationship with Qian Qianyi or Huang Zongxi.
Liu Ziguang immediately ordered a secret investigation into everything about Tang Jingxiao, including the real owner of the villa in Tangshan Hot Spring. He had a premonition that this would be his opponent's destiny and needed to be caught as soon as possible.
Besides, the team of Jin Yiwei who were beaten by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division was finally released. Twenty-eight of the thirty people were beaten with broken arms and legs. They were unable to get out of bed for three months. On the contrary, the Soldiers and Horses Division
Although there were hundreds of injured people, they were all minor injuries. This time the bridges between the two sides were closed, but no one in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division regretted it, and they had reached unprecedented unity. It was all life.
His parents were both raised by the imperial family. Who is shorter than the other? This fight showed the majesty of the Soldiers and Horses Division and the ambition of the men of the Soldiers and Horses Division. From now on, he can be proud of himself in the capital.
The main source of this secret contest was the corrupt officials who were waiting to be sentenced. Due to the incident involving Tang and Tang, Qian Qianyi was always suspicious. Liu Ziguang knew his secret, so he did not dare to protect Gao Yifei and others.
, lost his asylum, Gao Yifei was eventually sentenced to beheaded, and his son Kaohsiung was also sentenced to beheaded. Ma Yun was not an official, so there was no resistance to the sentence. It was also a beheaded, with all family property confiscated. Patrol
Jiang Yushi Lin Ruhai was Ma Yun's so-called father-in-law, so he couldn't escape the connection. However, because he did not accept bribes, the sentence was slightly lighter, and he was beheaded as a prisoner. There were also a group of corrupt officials in prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River who were sentenced to death because they did not have a backing in Beijing.
The Qiu Hou Judgment was sentenced, and Cheng Liangjue, who was extradited from Badawi, was severely sentenced to be executed by Lingchi. He was guilty of treason and should be punished by Lingchi. Chen Ziang was an accomplice. Lingchi could be avoided, but the death penalty could not be avoided, so he did it.
A decisive decision was made. Since then, the Jiangdi fraud case that had been going through ups and downs for several months has come to an unsatisfactory end.
This is the result of the game between two forces. The Zhenwuhou side, which represents the emerging forces and the working people, has achieved a staged victory and reversed the corruption trend in society. The majority of officials, who represent the traditional forces, have not been completely defeated, but have just abandoned their efforts.
It's just an abandoned son. Most officials don't continue to be officials and live happily. When the limelight is over, their nephews will take care of the situation - it's the same as before. How can the corruption that Emperor Taizu was unable to curb back then be cut down?
They could turn it around with just one head. However, they still lost a little vitality. Since then, Huguang has completely fallen into Liu Ziguang's sphere of influence. Even the hundreds of thousands of people along the river, when they mention Zhenwu Marquis, they are respectful and respectful, just like their reborn parents. Previously,
Those people who were arrested by the Huguang Police Department were released without charge and returned home. Every household had a memorial tablet of Liu Ziguang at home, burned incense and worshiped it every day, and the public sentiment was extremely high.
The two sides fought to a close draw, and the only winner turned out to be the current emperor Zhu Youxiao. He played the game really well, pardoning corrupt officials and letting them work in chains. Although this was a precedent in the Taizu period, but
The implementation is quite new, and at least it can curb the trend of corruption for a period of time. Most officials praised His Majesty as a benevolent and wise monarch. The people saw the Emperor's determination to fight corruption, and loved him even more. The eighteen-year-old Zhu Youxiao,
Support ratings reached a small peak.
Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and there is no need to rush. This is what Mr. Huang said to Zhu Youxiao. Huang Zongxi was young, extremely knowledgeable, and had his own opinions. He was not just like those old gentlemen in the past.
He knows how to talk about ancient times, and the stories he told about ancient monarchs' governance are all very representative, such as Li Shimin during the Xuanwumen Incident, Song Taizu who wore a yellow robe and drank wine to release his military power, and Song Gaozong who used Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei, and the Jingnan Incident during this dynasty.
Lord Yongle, these short stories have taught Zhu Youxiao, who has a weak cultural and historical foundation, a lot of things. Every time he listens to Mr. Huang telling a historical story vividly, Zhu Youxiao feels like a middle school student who has just finished reading "Reader's Digest"
, I feel that my IQ and EQ have risen like a rocket.
The way to be a king is nothing more than checks and balances. This is the story Huang Zongxi told Zhu Youxiao today. An excellent king does not need to be a capable general like Taizu of the Song Dynasty, nor a talented man like Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He only needs to be wise.
It is enough to be the decision-maker and balancer. It is wisest to use the talents of the civil servants and generals below to govern the country. By suppressing one side and suppressing the other, and ensuring the balance of several forces in the court at all times, only then can the throne be securely seated, and the Ming Dynasty be able to prosper.
.
After listening to Mr. Huang's talk about balance, the first thing Zhu Youxiao thought of was Wei Zhongxian, who was still thinking about the wall. Xiao Weizi was loyal to him after all, and it was reasonable for him to frame Marquis Zhenwu because of the fight for favor.
Give him some cold shoulder now, test his patience, and re-enable him when the right opportunity comes.
