"Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission!"
Luo Yi said in a deep voice.
When Lin Fan said the last words, Luo Yi was extremely moved. This is their Crown Prince, who is serving the country and the people, and he wants to spend money to raise those orphans without fathers and mothers!
"Okay! This war horse belongs to you! Now take the secret order from me and go to various places in the Ming Dynasty to collect orphans, regardless of gender, and gather them all!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Luo Yi got up, mounted his horse, and left directly.
Lin Fan rode back to the capital with a soldier of the Xuanjia Army. On the way, he could see many Jinyi guards sitting on the ground and resting.
When these people saw Lin Fan, they hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt on the ground. Lin Fan knew that today's actions might make them dissatisfied with him, but at the same time, they were also afraid of him.
"You all should quickly report to the Jin Yiwei Yamen. From today on, you are no longer Jin Yiwei, but Eagle Guards!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Although these people were unwilling to accept it, they still responded loudly.
Lin Fan returned to the capital all the way and left the affairs of the Jin Yiwei to Zhu Cijiong, so he would have nothing to do. He wanted to go home and rest for a day before entering the palace, but Wang Chengen was already waiting at the door of Lin Mansion.
"Your Highness, it's time to change the Lin Mansion's signature brand."
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for reminding me. I will change this sign to Prince's Residence later."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
In any case, since he is also the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed inappropriate to continue to use Lin Mansion as his residence.
Wang Chengen said: "Your Highness, you are welcome. Your Majesty is waiting for you at Qianqing Palace now. What you did in Shunqing Fucheng frightened Your Majesty."
"kindness?
Does Your Majesty already know about that matter?
These are just small things, so why worry."
Lin Fan said.
He thought to himself, Emperor Chongzhen was actually so timid. Couldn't he just kill the defenders and officials of a city? What could he do?
The worst that can happen is to quell the chaos again.
Today, there are still many officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty who are superficially obedient to the imperial court's will, but those people do not openly oppose the imperial court. Lin Fan has no reason to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Otherwise, he would have sent troops long ago.
"Alas! Your Highness, you are really careless in doing things. You used to be the Marquis of Wu. You have done some excessive things, and it is not your Majesty's fault."
"The ministers can at best criticize you verbally, but now that you are the prince, everything you do represents His Majesty, and the ministers will also use this as an excuse to cause trouble for His Majesty!"
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice.
"What reason do they have to trouble His Majesty?
This is really nonsense, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Hush! My good prince, don't say such nonsense, hurry up! Let's enter the palace quickly. Your Majesty has something to say to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go to court tomorrow morning."
As Wang Chengen said this, he pulled Lin Fan onto the carriage and quietly entered the palace.
At this time, the main entrance of the palace was filled with officials from various ministries. As long as they saw Lin Fan entering the palace, officials would enter the palace to meet the Holy Emperor. Emperor Chongzhen did not want to cause trouble, so he could only let Lin Fan enter the palace through the back door.
Arriving at Qianqing Palace, Lin Fan saw Emperor Chongzhen and stepped forward to salute respectfully. Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Fan'er, do you know how much trouble you have caused this time?"
After Emperor Chongzhen said this, he kept staring at Lin Fan, wanting to see something in Lin Fan's eyes. At the same time, he was also looking forward to Lin Fan's voice.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Father, what trouble did I get into?
It’s just to clear out some rebellious people, it’s also a disaster to keep those people!”
"Fan'er! Those were the defenders of Shunqing City, and they were killed by you just like that. When the officials heard about this, they were all panic-stricken, worried that you would extend the butcher knife to them."
"Alas! What you did was a little thoughtless. However, I know that what you did is right. Therefore, I will try my best to help you tomorrow morning."
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
kindness?
"What does this old guy mean by saying this?
This is the first time that he said that what he did was right and that he should help himself regardless of the objections of his courtiers."
"Haha! This old guy seems to have enlightened himself. He knows that he, the emperor, should be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. He will never allow anyone to betray him."
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally heard these thoughts and was dissatisfied with Lin Fan calling him an old guy. However, his son's opinion of him had improved somewhat.
"Your Majesty, if someone comes to court tomorrow morning to impeach me, I will not be afraid. I have already thought of a countermeasure."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Oh! What countermeasures did you think of?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty, I will only need to present the facts to them, reason with them, and tell them that those people are traitors and are hindering the Ming Dynasty from bringing benefits to the people."
"I believe that any official who is dedicated to serving the people will understand my painstaking efforts!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Then, he muttered in his heart: "Hey! If those who don't listen to advice are naturally officials who only want to mess with me and don't want to pay for the people, what awaits them is death!"
kindness!
Hearing Lin Fan's answer, Emperor Chongzhen was a little disappointed. If it is useful to present facts and reason, why did the Ming Dynasty end up like this?
Those officials were each more stubborn and pedantic than the last. All they wanted was their own interests. However, Emperor Chongzhen was a little shocked when he heard what Lin Fan said next.
Lin Fan actually wanted to kill officials again.
That’s it!
It is true that the officials of the Ming Dynasty needed to be dismissed and some new ones promoted.
"Well, since you have already thought of a countermeasure, you will come to the court early tomorrow morning. I am waiting for you to quarrel with the Confucian scholars!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Lin Fan resigned directly, and Emperor Chongzhen asked him to fight with the Confucian scholars, haha! How can I deal with so many mouths with one mouth? When the time comes, I will still have to use force to suppress it.
At this time, news of Jinyiwei's reform also spread, and officials from various ministries were stunned when they heard about it.
"What! There are only 30,000 Jinyi Guards left, and the rest have been reorganized into the Eagle Guards. Now we are in big trouble!"
"Running twenty-seven kilometers! This! Is His Royal Highness treating people like animals?"
"The people we arranged to enter have all been eliminated. In other words, we will no longer have spies among the Jin Yiwei in the future!"
"Damn it! The prince, this bitch, really has some tricks up his sleeve. He actually thought of using this method to force the spy we arranged to get out."
…
At this time, these people all came to their senses. Lin Fan asked Jin Yiwei to run not just to tease them, but to eliminate all the spies!
