Chapter 158: I really don’t know if it’s because of the Emperor Hongfu or the Emperor Hongfu
Chapter 158: I really don’t know whether it’s the emperor’s blessing or the emperor’s blessing
After hearing what Lao Wangzhi said, Yu Qian couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Yang Hong stroked his snow beard and said in a deep voice: "Behead Yan Shun and others to pacify the soldiers, civilians and gentry in the border towns of Xuan Mansion, and use thunderous means to collect them."
Courage in both civil and military affairs makes officials awe-inspiring so that they can act smoothly and make government orders unimpeded."
"In the shortest possible time, the whole Xuanfu can be united and restored to its former prosperity. The Emperor has no choice but to do this. Otherwise, there will be many things that go against the rules."
Yang Hong's words made Lao Wangzhi and Yu Qian nod in unison. Yes, if you want to achieve results in the shortest time, do well, and don't kill chickens to respect monkeys, how can those monkey spirits give you honestly?
work?
"To sum up, if you kill well and create a great reputation in Xuanfu's border towns, I'm afraid no one will dare to disobey the emperor's will." The expression on Yu Qian's face seemed a bit complicated. "In this way, Xuanfu will
In the land of the government, government orders will be smooth, and who among the officials would dare not do their best?"
Yang Hong chuckled and said: "This is better. After all, the Xuanfu border town is an important place for our Ming Dynasty's frontier fortress, and it serves as a barrier for the capital. If Xuanfu is stable, the capital will be safe. Besides, Xuanfu is adjacent to the royal court of Waci.
If the Xuanfu is strong, it is even more necessary to deploy heavy troops to defend Waca, which can also reduce the pressure on our Ming Dynasty from all sides."
"That's true. I heard that Guo Shun's stepson was having sex in Xuanfu City, and the Emperor met him. Not only did he punish the boy severely, but when Guo Shun heard the news, he was so frightened that he took him away all night.
He took his belongings and went north to the Xuan Mansion to plead guilty to the emperor." Lao Wang's straight fingers tapped briskly on the armrest of the chair, and the smile on his face made people feel that he was taking pleasure in his misfortune. "It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes.
Seeing the grand scene of those eunuchs being beheaded, I think the soldiers, civilians and gentry of Xuanfu must be very happy."
Yu Qian couldn't help but nodded with deep sympathy. Although his time as an official was not as long as that of Lao Wang Zhi and Yang Hong, he also experienced a lot of twists and turns, among which he had a lot of connections with those eunuchs.
.
Yu Qian, the governor at the time, did not give Wang Zhen a gift when he went to Beijing to report on his work. You must know that at that time, Wang Zhen was already deeply favored by the emperor and powerful, so it was natural to accept bribes. Yu Qian, let alone gold and silver, even
Not even a single hair on the mouse's tail was given to Wang Zhen.
The eunuch Wang suddenly flew into a rage. Everyone in the world is afraid of me. You are a little governor. When you go to Beijing to report on work, you don’t even understand the rules of bribing yourself, the head eunuch. How did you become an official?

In anger, he found an excuse and sent Yu Qian to the imperial prison to enjoy a few days of happiness and eat a few free meals. But as a result, within two days of being sent in, the civil and military officials of the DPRK were arrested.
They were all shocked, because Yu Qian was a figure in Sanyang's prime minister, and Sanyang had been in power for decades. His high prestige and popularity were definitely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Moreover, Yu Qian also had a good reputation and was quite popular among civil servants.
With prestige, civil servants began to mobilize Qingliu and play collusion.
Wang Zhen was so distressed that he finally had to send Yu Qian out of prison. Although Yu Qian didn't suffer much, how could he feel comfortable in his heart? Naturally, he hated eunuchs deeply. It's a pity that the emperors did not.
Yu Qian and other civil servants who were close to the eunuchs could only stare blankly when faced with such a situation, even if they had all kinds of means.
From the corner of Wang Zhi's eyes, he noticed the change of expression on Yu Qian's face. He slightly curved his mouth and said in a warm voice: "Brother Ting Yi, what do you think of the Supreme Emperor's appointment of ministers to guard the Xuan Mansion?"
Yu Qian raised his brows and said seriously: "According to my opinion, although it is inconsistent with etiquette, it is the best way at present."
"Oh, what do you mean, you also agree with the emperor's move?" Lao Wang was secretly happy in his heart, but his face didn't show anything, and he continued to ask as if he were chatting normally.
Yu Qian nodded and said: "Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and courageous, and he is vigorous and resolute in his actions. Today, there are not many people left..." Although this was said in a low tone, after all, it is somewhat inappropriate for ministers to talk about longevity in private.
After hearing this, Yang Hong and Wang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sad. Yes, after getting along with each other for more than half a year, and comparing it with the current behavior of the Supreme Emperor, it is simply like comparing a three-wheeler with a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW.
.
As soon as the emperor came to power, he vigorously cultivated party members and cronies. Many officials who had good reputations but had always spoken for the emperor were demoted or dismissed from their posts. It seemed that he wanted to eliminate the emperor's influence in the court.
.However, he was not very concerned about political affairs and often lingered in the palace. Although the power of the eunuchs was not as good as when Wang Zhen was in power, it was not much better.
Yu Qian paused and then continued: "Yu X has received news from the palace about Ruan Lang. This person entered the palace in the first year of Yongle. He is conscientious in his work, makes no mistakes, and is quite talented. When he was proclaimed his virtue,
Xuanzong was very happy and made him the eunuch in charge of the imperial eunuch."
"Palm trees, stones, tiles, earth, building materials, eastward and westward, paints, weddings, ten works of gunpowder, and rice and salt stores, construction stores, royal altar stores, and all the state-built palaces, mausoleums, and copper and tin dows,
He was responsible for the use of utensils and ice processing. He worked in the Imperial Guard for thirteen years, and during this period, the cost of the Imperial Guard was reduced by 30% compared to previous years."
"He is neither corrupt nor very talented, but he doesn't like flattery. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he was tabooed by Wang Zhen and his minions, so they managed to figure out the reason and transferred him to the Palace Supervisor to do the work.
A young prisoner."
"However, even though he is a young eunuch, he is still diligent in his work. He is actually a model for all eunuchs after Zheng He." When Yu Qian said this, he also had a look of admiration on his face. As a eunuch, he can be like this.
His integrity is probably much better than that of most civil and military officials in the court. Unfortunately, he is a eunuch after all. Otherwise, with such talent, even if he does not join the cabinet and becomes a minister, I am afraid that
There are also people with this ability.
"Well, yes, after I heard about this, I also inquired about it. Among the eunuchs that the emperor sent to the Supreme Emperor, there were indeed many capable ones, but there were not any of those treacherous eunuchs who liked to flatter and flatter each other. Speaking of which,
, I really don’t know whether it’s because of the emperor’s great blessing or the great emperor’s great blessing.” Lao Wangzhi’s expression seemed a little dumbfounded. Those who are good at flattering flatter the eunuchs who can make the decision, so they will naturally keep these flatterers; or
I didn't want to take on this hard work, so I gave them money and silk.
But those eunuchs who were conscientious and devoted to their work were not good at this, so naturally they were not liked by the big men in the palace. Naturally, they kicked these unsightly people away so that they could arrange for their own cronies to take over. From this, it was really preferable.
That's the emperor.
When Yang Hong heard Lao Wang's straightforward words, he almost choked on the tea that had just reached his throat. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. This old guy said such a thing, it was too embarrassing.
Yu Qian couldn't help grinning, and shook his head with a wry smile. The old guy's bad taste was really unique, and it hurt both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. He had to cough twice and said sternly: "After all, Ruan Lang...
The post of a young eunuch is in a local area, and the duties are equivalent, which is very appropriate. Although the emperor today is ashamed of his government, he can at least be good at accepting people's opinions. If we and all the ministers can fully support the emperor's wishes, there should be no more changes in Long Live
meaning."
"What Ting Yi said is exactly what I thought. In that case, when the court meets in the future, I hope Ting Yi can tell the emperor and restore peace to the Xuan Mansion."
