Inside the palace, Luo Kedi kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dressed in casual clothes: "I, Luo Kedi, are following the emperor's secret order to investigate Huang Zicheng's affairs. I will renew the order today. []"
"Hmm..., how's the situation?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't scream, and Luo Kedi didn't dare to move. He knelt on the carpet and replied respectfully: "I acted immediately after receiving the secret order. There are too few secret agents available to the Jinyi Guards now. However, according to the emperor's will, I
Not daring to neglect, we immediately gathered all our hands to monitor Huang Zicheng openly and covertly, paying attention to his every move."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and smiled faintly. Of course he could hear the implication of Luo Kedi, but the power of the imperial guards to ride on the world was a special decision he made in a special period. Now that the world has gradually stabilized, he will not make another comeback.
The Jinyiwei allowed them to be superior to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
Luo Kedi paused for a moment and then said: "According to the information obtained from the surveillance these days, Huang Zicheng does not understand what the Yang family is doing. He is just being deceived by his disciple Yang Chong. A few days ago, Huang Zicheng had an affair with
Qi Tai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was drinking in Jixian Tower, and his subordinates approached them disguised as waiters. From what Huang Zicheng said, they were just pretending to be unfair to the Yang family, and did not discuss privately with Qi Shilang to form a party or criticize the government."
"In the past two days, Yang Rong fell, and the scandals of the Yang family were exposed one after another. Huang Zicheng was greatly depressed after learning the truth. In the past few days, he went back to the house without seeing any outsiders, and paid a lot of money to bribe the Huang family.
, I learned that he often got drunk and cursed when he was in the palace, scolding Yang Chong for wronging him, and ruining his reputation. In this way, Huang Zicheng... must be selfless, and please ask the emperor to show his judgment."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "What happened to Yang Xu? How did he become a member of your Jin Yiwei?"
"this……"
Luo Ke's enemy looked troubled, so he lowered his voice and leaned over to answer: "Your Majesty asked, but I dare not refuse to answer. This Xia Xun... was originally a member of Qingzhou. His family owned land and also ran a shop. And
King Qi..., well, some of the ministers and guards who had benefited from the King of Qi's Mansion also ran some industries, but they were unable to get away from the business and did not know how to do it, so they entrusted Yang Xu. Therefore, Yang Xu had an affair with the King of Qi's Mansion.
From very close.
When Yang Xu went to Peiping to buy leather goods for Prince Qi's Mansion, he accidentally rescued the young princess of Shanwang Mansion. He was kind to Shanwang Mansion, so he started a lawsuit and asked for asylum in Shanwang Mansion. Shanwang Mansion knew that Yin Wang Hongrui of Yingtian Mansion and
Huang Zicheng has a good relationship with him, so he is afraid that he will be unfair, so he approached the minister and wanted to give Yang Xu a military background. The minister thought that Yang Xu had served the prince and prince before, and he had done a lot of merit, and now he was asked by the Shanwang Palace again, so...
..., so he was admitted as a captain in Jinyi, just an idle job, just...just to deal with requests."
"Hmph! The internal bodyguards of Prince Qi's Mansion?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered coldly, "What are you talking about as an internal bodyguard? It's obviously his son who is making money outside, but he doesn't know about his son? Is he still too poor with a huge salary every year? But after all, he is his son, he is not just the Ming Dynasty's son"
The emperor is also a father and grandfather who looks stern but is very kind and caring to his children and grandchildren. As long as the things his son does are not too excessive, he does not want to pursue them.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "I understand, that's it, you can go down."
"Yes, I will retire."
Luo Kedi kowtowed again, stood up, bowed and stepped back.
Turning around and leaving the Jinshen Palace, Luo Kedi was about to leave the palace when he saw an official approaching in a hurry. He took a closer look and saw that it was Qitai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, whom he mentioned just now. Luo Kedi frowned.
Wrinkled, he immediately turned around and walked along the hall corridor to avoid meeting him head-on...
"Sir, we are also warriors. Why not take advantage of this martial arts dispute to bring down Huang Zicheng? In this way, we can not only protect and please the generals, but also if the emperor becomes angry and punishes his ministers, we can also take advantage of the situation to make a comeback. Sir
Why did you cover it up for him instead? How can a person like him, who has a high level of respect, be able to win the Lord's favor?"
Xiao Qianyue was an officer of the Jinyi Guards, so he could naturally enter the palace. However, he had not arrived in front of the Jinshen Hall and was only waiting in the outer hall. At this time, he accompanied Luo Kedi as they walked out together and asked casually.
Luo Kedi smiled faintly and asked: "Oh? So, do you think Huang Zicheng is Li Shanchang or Hu Weiyong? Or General Lan Yu?"
Xiao Qianyue didn't understand what it meant and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Luo Kedi said contemptuously: "It's just him. If the emperor wants to kill him, he only needs to say a word. Why bother to carry out a large-scale attack? Will the emperor retaliate against us because of this?"
Xiao Qianyue said: "Then... there is no need for you to defend him or cover up for him."
Luo Kedi said: "The emperor is old, and the emperor's grandson will be in charge of the country in the future. And Huang Zicheng will become the emperor's master. Although the emperor's grandson is afraid of the emperor's uncles, he was not so eager in the first place. It is not Huang Zicheng who wants to save the country.
The country is in crisis, and he is the pillar who is trying to turn the tide. This is why he keeps bewitching the emperor's grandson? Only with his instigation can the emperor's grandson cut down the vassal. If the emperor's grandson wants to cut down the vassal, can he not rely on us? Those princes who guard the vassal country
We are the ones who are qualified to compete with Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu. How can I not defend him? Helping him... is helping myself!"
Xiao Qianyue suddenly realized.
Jin body in the palace, Qi Tai said in a panic: "Your Majesty, urgent military situation, urgent military situation."
Qi Tai didn't reach Luo Ke Enemy. As soon as he entered the Jinshen Hall, he fell to his knees. He didn't have time to kowtow, so he shouted hurriedly.
"Huh? What happened?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became sharp.
Qi Tai said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has just received news that the White Lotus Sect in Mian County, Shaanxi Province has rebelled."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, leaned over from behind the desk, and said sternly: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
Qi Tai said: "Back to the emperor, in Mian County, Shaanxi Province, there was a White Lotus believer who preached. He opened an incense hall and was called the incense master. His name was Tian Jiucheng. Last month, he and Gao Fuxing, a minor official in Mian County, and the monk Li Puzhi planned a rebellion.
After the report, Mian County officials led an inspection and arrested the monk Li Puzhi. Tian Jiucheng and Gao Fuxing led the believers in the two counties to rebel hastily, calling themselves emperors of the Han and Ming Dynasties, with the title of Longfeng. Gao Fuxing called himself "Maitreya Buddha", and his followers were all sworn kings.
King Kong Nu, He Miaoshun and others are called "Kings of Heaven". They conquered Lueyang and other places, occupied dangerous strategic points in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and became quite powerful. Now there are 50,000 to 60,000 people in opposition."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically. He thought for a moment and immediately issued an order: "Immediately pass the order and order Changxing Marquis Geng Bing to be the general of the rebellion. He will immediately command one hundred thousand troops to go to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion!"
"I obey the order." Qi Tai also knew that the military situation was raging and could not delay. He kowtowed and stood up and ran out.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat back on the dragon chair and murmured to himself: "I am diligent and thrifty, work hard at night and day, work hard for the world, and worry about the people. I never slack off for a day. It has been thirty years since the founding of the country, and I can't believe that there is still no peace."
His eyes slowly fell on the thick pile of memorials for the impeachment of officials and military officials on the imperial desk, and he sighed softly: "You bookworms, do you think that the world will be peaceful and the foreign enemies will be exhausted? You have read a few poems and books,
We are going to step on the heads of warriors. If there are less vulgar warriors like you, the world will be stable? One is martial, one is strong, and the other is soft. Can't you be both strong and soft at the same time?"
"Someone is coming!"
A young chamberlain hurriedly took three steps forward and stood with a bow. Due to the sudden rebellion in Shaanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind about the fight between the Wu Group and the Wu Group taking advantage of Yang Xu's family conflict.
"The Ministry of Rites, Taixue, is the place where talents are educated. The imperial court provides generous salary, wide range of schools, and invites Confucian teachers to teach students in the hope of success and being used by the country. In recent times, the teaching system has not been established, and scandals have occurred one after another.
; The academic regulations are neglected, and all students are lazy; they are even unreasonable, not careful in calculation, and not familiar with official affairs. What's more, they resist the imperial code and violate the etiquette and laws. This is not the way to educate talents. Order the Ministry of Rites to reiterate the academic regulations for teachers and students.
obey."
"This slave takes the order."
"Also, Jinyi Colonel Yang Xu, Yun Yunwu, who knows how to advance and retreat, understands etiquette, understands right and wrong, knows honor and shame, has been granted the title of the first three sword-bearing guards, and will go to the palace to learn etiquette. Three days later, he will sit in court with me.
Your Majesty is on duty!"
"This slave takes the order."
Everyone knows that the imperial students are causing trouble, and those behind the instigation and support are the officials headed by Huang Zicheng. Since Zhu Yuanzhang has learned that Huang Zicheng is indeed selfless, and there is a rebellion outside, he does not want to cause more trouble and pursue strict investigation, but he has to express it, especially when
At this time, there was a rebellion in Shaanxi, and it was even more important to stabilize the morale of the military. Although this time he was punishing students, everyone knew that he was beating officials.
To give such a comment to Yang Xu, a guy who was demoted by the officials as worthless, and then let him stand in the palace to serve as a chariot, and keep him there when all the officials came to the court, it was a slap in the face of the officials.
Drum towers all face north and south. Zhu Yuanzhang built a drum tower facing east and west in Fengyang, which is the largest in the world. The shrine of the mausoleum does not face the tomb. When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Xiaoling Mausoleum for himself, he had the shrine face the tomb, which was unexpected.
Others built palaces in order to seek natural land. Zhu Yuanzhang found a place with a lake below it, which was not suitable for building a house. He did not replace it, so he filled in the lake.
This is Lao Zhu's consistent character. He is unconventional, straightforward and honest, and likes to express his love and hate tit for tat. If you are greedy for food, I will crush you to death with food; if you cut corners on the school building, I will let the students step on it every day.
Go to school with your head; you scolded him as worthless, but I left him there to disgust you!
Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, the fun is endless.
The emperor issued an order, and the Ministry of Rites naturally carried it out unswervingly. The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, and the Ministers on the left and right held a hurried meeting, figured out Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, decided on a punishment policy, and hurried to the Imperial College to convey the orders of the Ministry of Rites.
The Imperial College is temporarily unavailable for the Imperial Concubine's wine ceremony. The Prime Minister and the teaching staff gathered together more than 8,000 students and foreign students in the school. They stood in the spacious open space and listened to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites announcing the academic rules and doctrines to all the teachers and students in the school.
: "The instructors in each hall must show their respect to all students, be diligent and prudent, and do not be lazy in teaching, so that the students can achieve success. This is called competent.
From now on, all students will memorize the book every three days, read the "Imperial Imperial Edict" and the four books of the Sutra, one hundred words each, memorize the words by heart, and understand the meaning carefully. If you have any questions, ask questions to make sure you understand. Do not be embarrassed.
Mr. Nang. If you have a question that is not clear and you have no doubts, please go to the hall and endorse the letter. You must follow the order of the class and do not overstep it.
Each month, write two chapters each of the four books on the classic, edicts, chapters, strategies, judgments, and internal medicine. Every day, I will imitate one book, at least 200 words, with Xi, Xian, Zhi, Yong, and Ou.
Yu, Yan, Liu, etc. wrote the scripts as Dharma, and each specialized in writing the script in regular script.
When you go to the hall at dusk, you must be well-dressed and step step carefully. When sitting in the hall, you must be polite and solemn. You must recite diligently and recite diligently. You are not allowed to take off your scarves and undress. When you go to the class meeting for farewell, you must eat respectfully and not make any noise. At the end of the day, you must follow the class to visit the temple.
You are allowed to visit nearby places on vacation, and you are not allowed to get drunk, run around in the streets, or fight with others, which is harmful to the public health. During the rest of the time, you are not allowed to leave the Imperial College.
When dealing with matters, you must first inform the instructor of your class, and ask the head of the hall to lead the hall and tell you whether it can be done. If you are sick and have no wife, you must be treated in the nursing ward, and you must rest in the prison dormitory every night. Although you are working in various departments
Those who do this must also be returned to prison, and are not allowed to gather in groups to drink. If there is a choice of people to be appointed and dispatched to do things, they will be selected from the public to offer wine, and offenders will be punished. The wine will be sacrificed, the prime minister will be given, and the instructions will be given, and the person will be called by name every day.
The dormitory is inspected every night, but those who leave without any reason will be returned to their hometown..."
At the same time, Xia Xun also received an order. His officials were too young and did not require the emperor to personally issue an order. The emperor made an order and notified the Fifth Army Commander's Office. The Fifth Army Commander's Office then notified the Jinyi Guards Command Commander, Xia Xun.
The Xun family happily welcomed a letter of appointment stamped with the bright red seal of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace, and the third-class sword-carrying guard in front of the imperial family, which sounded awesome.
As for what this official does, Xia Xun doesn't know yet.
