At this time, under the guidance of my father-in-law.
As if in an instant, Shen Lie's mind gradually became clearer, and he had to say sincerely: "My father-in-law is wise."
Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, and with just a few clicks, a disaster was revealed.
At this moment, Shen Lie's heart was pounding.
Thinking about it.
in this case.
As long as the disciples, disciples and grandsons of the adults started to make a fuss over the matter of establishing a prince, he, a thousand households in the East Factory, would only need to send people to control the crazy students in the Imperial College.
What rumors are there, most of the essay is missing.
at this time.
Zhang Juzheng looked calm, coughed slightly, and then said quietly: "In this world, although I am determined to reform and strive for innovation, the atmosphere is getting worse and worse. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and even children are being bought and sold... …The scholar-bureaucrats are even more obsessed with the land of romance, laughing at the poor but not at the prostitutes… Alas.”
"The world is declining!"
These words.
Shen Lie was a little confused at first and didn't understand what his father-in-law meant.
There is a hidden edge in these words!
Suddenly.
Shen Lie's mind was spinning, and he suddenly realized something. Why did his father-in-law bring up this affair? What's the deep meaning in it?
This is another reminder to him!
"My father-in-law's wishes..."
Shen Lie thought hard for a moment and suddenly realized something.
Except for those trouble-making scumbags in the Imperial College, there are places in the capital where those scholars who like to speak out most often go, except for restaurants and teahouses.
Of course it is a brothel!
"oh……"
Shen Lie took a deep breath as if he understood something.
My father-in-law taught me the right lesson. He, a thousand households in Dongchang, was too benevolent and did not make full use of the power in his hands.
A bold idea came to mind.
If he, who has thousands of households in Dongchang, personally leads people to search teahouses and restaurants, especially brothels, and arrest those scholars who go in and out of the land of romance.
Isn't that right?
Did you take the initiative immediately?
This trick seems familiar!
At this time, Shen Lie remembered the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty". The Laws of the Ming Dynasty explicitly prohibited officials from visiting prostitutes. Any official who stayed with a prostitute would be punished with a sixty-year sentence, and those who conspired would be punished by one degree.
That is to say, not only officials who visit prostitutes will be slapped with sticks, but those who go with them will also be beaten.
Later, it was stipulated that "officials sleeping with prostitutes are as guilty as murderers!"
have a look!
Official prostitution is a crime second only to murder.
How scary!
At this time, there were penalties for officials who visited prostitutes, so were there any legal provisions regarding scholars who visited prostitutes?
There really is.
I remember that Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Danji once promulgated a law. Emperor Xuanzong ordered that all official prostitutes in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty be demolished.
At the same time, it was stipulated that scholars were prohibited from visiting prostitutes, and if they were discovered, they would be revoked.
Never hired!
even though.
These days, no one takes the Ming Law or the decree promulgated by Emperor Xuanzong seriously, but it is still a decree after all.
It’s written in black and white!
After a while of silence.
Shen Lie looked at his father-in-law's elegant and old face, and the admiration in his heart was like a surging river, which was a hint that he was launching an anti-pornography and anti-illegal campaign in the capital.
Those scholars who like to talk nonsense in the name of prostitution and immorality should be punished, and a few of their honors should be severely expelled.
It would be best to catch a few Yanguan Yushi and the nephews of the Qingliu adults.
Isn't that right?
Shen Lie was amazed.
Otherwise...
Why is he the great master of the Ming Dynasty!
This method!
He really controlled the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty. This method was really bad, but also very clever. He used the crime of immorality to control the scholars who liked to criticize the government.
And it will leave all the scholars in the world speechless!
If he doesn't die.
Shen Lie had mixed feelings in his heart, what was going on with the Donglin Party?
With gratitude.
Shen Lie saluted and said, "My father-in-law is wise, and my son-in-law understands."
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and nodded: "Boys can be taught."
He was also very satisfied with his son-in-law's understanding.
but.
Soon Zhang Juzheng stopped talking. His expression seemed to say, you came up with such an immoral and smoking method yourself.
It has nothing to do with me!
If you tell me, I won't admit it.
Looking at the noble and reserved face of the father-in-law.
Shen Lie chuckled knowingly: "I understand, my son-in-law understands!"
At this time, Shen Lie was already eager to give it a try, so he said softly: "That's it...my son-in-law retires."
Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction and said majestically: "Go."
Seeing Shen Lie leaving quickly, Zhang Juzheng walked slowly to the rockery with his cane again, and coughed lightly: "Come out."
Zhang Jianxiu walked out from behind the rockery and said respectfully: "Father."
Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a low voice: "Help him!"
Zhang Jianxiu responded quickly: "Yes."
Two days later.
Cining Palace.
The palace, which had been peaceful for a few days, became lively again because of the full moon of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo.
Although everyone in the palace knew that the noble eldest son of the emperor was not favored by the emperor, the empress dowager was in charge of the overall situation and the magnanimous empress did not care.
Therefore.
The infant emperor's eldest son still earned the title of Concubine Wang Gong for his biological mother Wang, and the full moon celebration in the palace was held as usual.
Xiyuan.
It's busy in winter.
It’s just the first month of the year.
A large number of coolies, under the guidance of craftsmen, have begun to build the Royal Lecture Hall in a large area beside the North Sea.
Most of the buildings are ready-made.
I don’t know whether the young emperor intentionally or unintentionally chose the school building of this martial arts hall next to the Leopard House built by Emperor Wuzong.
Lean on the fence.
Knocking on sunflower seeds.
Shen Lie looked at the abandoned Leopard House not far away and the open space that was being renovated, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, this location selection was intentional!
He understood the emperor's mentality very well.
You scholars, didn’t you just attack Emperor Wu Zong because he built a royal zoo? I must fight against you!
I will build another royal lecture hall next to this royal zoo.
Are you angry?
This behavior is very similar to that of our emperor, Wanli, the Qing gossip official who hated the most in his life.
Amidst the busyness.
Looking at the young emperor who was pointing and directing the construction not far away, Shen Lie threw away the crushed sunflower seed peels in his hands and patted the dust on his official uniform.
He quickly left Xiyuan.
Arrive at Dongjishichang Yamen.
In the Yamen.
Several high eunuchs under Feng Bao had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Shen Lie, they hurriedly smiled warmly and hurried out of the official hall to greet him.
Shen Lie had no intention of being polite, but gathered together with a few people to whisper, and then several eunuchs handed over the secret box containing the informant.
Shen Lie looked through it carefully, and it was true to his father-in-law's expectations. According to Dongchang's limited information, the day when the emperor's eldest son was full moon was getting closer day by day.
In the Imperial College, the clear stream in the middle of the court moved upon hearing the wind.
Guess.
The memorial for the adults to ask for the crown prince has been written.
As Shen Lie's eyes became dim, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his mind drifted to the sky, recalling the complicated life of this Ming prince.
