When the Ming Dynasty entered the Tianshun period, the power of the cabinet went through repeated struggles, and at this time it did not control the subsequent power.
To a certain extent, Zhu Qizhen still holds power and has room to display it.
However, due to the Tumubao Incident, his prestige among the government and the public was greatly reduced. Although he still held supreme power, his confidence was completely different from that in the orthodox years.
Every morning when he got up early, he would be ordered to clean up by the palace staff, and then go to the court to listen to the instructions of the ministers.
In fact, after seizing power, whether he was expelling Xu Youzhen or Shi Heng, or even tacitly allowing Cao Shaoqin to leave the capital, he showed his good political skills.
But no matter how clever his methods are, he is no longer as high-spirited as he was at the beginning.
"Feng Zhou, that young Jinshi? Can he take the title?" Zhu Qizhen asked casually.
"Your Majesty, Feng Zhou is only sixteen this year and has not yet taken his name." Zhang Qingbo was stunned and replied, with a strange feeling in his heart. This is Jane in the emperor's heart!
"Sixteen years old, a talented young man. Why, is he confident in catching that night thief?"
The look on Zhu Qizhen's face was very strange. He was naturally very impressed with Feng Zhou. He was the youngest person in the palace examination. He could be seen in the crowd at a glance. Zhu Qizhen would notice this person even if he had nothing to do.
.
Then again, Zhu Qizhen no longer has any high-spirited thoughts, and he is determined to secure the throne. As an emperor, he can loosen his control over the rest of the world, but his control over the capital is extremely tight, otherwise the throne will also be lost.
Unable to sit properly.
If someone uses such a thief to "seize the door" again, then Zhu Qizhen will become a joke in history.
Naturally, he knew that a nocturnal thief suddenly appeared in the capital, wreaking havoc in the city and causing panic among people. He was very angry and at the same time quite dissatisfied with Shuntian Mansion's ability to handle affairs.
It's just that Feng Zhou's conditions made people in Zhuqi Town very dissatisfied. As an official of the Ministry of Punishment and the person in charge of the prison affairs in the Gyeonggi region, shouldn't it be appropriate to arrest the arrogant nocturnal robber? Why did he dare to raise conditions?
However, Zhu Qizhen just thought so in his heart and was not too harsh.
You must know that no gold is pure and no one is perfect.
Shi Heng can be capricious and greedy.
A small fifth-grade chief executive aspires to be the second-in-command in Shuntian Mansion. This is a sign of ambition.
Besides, after all, Feng Zhou is not a front-line case-handling officer in Shuntian Prefecture. It would be unreasonable not to give him some benefits if he is asked to contribute.
"Can't you, Shuntian Mansion, catch the night thief?"
Zhu Qizhen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qingbo and said: "Shuntian Prefecture seems to have many veterans of prisons. Isn't it possible that no clues can be found?"
Zhang Qingbo was covered in cold sweat, knelt down and said guiltily: "I can't help it, that night thief is really not simple. He did leave a lot of traces, and he left them deliberately, but the government's police officers couldn't catch him at all."
catch!"
"You guys, it's really... ugh..."
Zhu Qizhen was annoyed in his heart, but on his face he just shook his head.
In fact, he knows more than Zhang Qingbo. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are all skilled players. They have long noticed that the nocturnal thief is not simple. He may not be Sikong Zhaixing, but he must have a close relationship with him.
deep.
This is called Zhu Qizhen very scared. The wealthy houses that can go to and out of the wealthy households are not in the imperial situation. Is it not necessary to enter the palace?
Since "the change of winning the door", Zhu Qizhen re -sit back to the dragon chair, and he has a deep sense of crisis for any wind blowing. He will never arrange Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters to arrest.
Rather, he is worried that things will develop into an abyss unknown to him.
Every emperor, born with a kind of "always have Diao Min want to harm me", naturally it is even more important to be the throne under his little life and the throne under the buttocks. What is the loss of the wealthy households stolen?
To say that for the urgency of catching the thief of the night, Zhu Qizhen is no worse than the rich households who have been glory by the night walk, and all unpredictable factors are quite dangerous.
Zhang Qingbo kowtowed and admitted his mistake, but he kept silent about the certainty of catching the night thief.
"Well, go and tell Feng Zhou that as long as he catches that bold night robber, he will be the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, life or death!"
Shuntian Prefecture was useless, and Zhu Qizhen was helpless.
Now he only wants to keep the throne, and has no thought of dealing with these high-ranking officials.
What's more, Zhang Qingbo is a capable official. He cannot be removed from his official position just because he cannot catch a flying thief. Who will dare to be loyal to him in the future?
After Zhang Qingbo came out of the palace, he rushed directly to the Ministry of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and told Feng Zhou about the "good news". In the end, he was not angry. If Feng Zhou could not solve this trouble, the previous account was calculated together.
With a further opportunity, Feng Zhou naturally would not care about Zhang Qingbo's threat. After he sent it away, he packed up and cleaned up and left the criminal minister.
Of course he is going home.
The case of Guan Yu, the flying thief of Shuntian Prefecture, is very important, but it should not be rushed.
…
In just a few days, several wealthy households in the capital were robbed, causing panic among nearby residents.
One of the merchants, Xu Minglin, surnamed Xu Minglin, is exactly the tools for collecting wealth for a dignitarian official in the DPRK. This time, it lost several very precious treasures. The value was at least equivalent to more than one hundred silver.
Including the losses of several other wealthy households, the total value of the stolen property this time exceeded 200,000 taels!
At this time, the entire government and opposition parties were shocked.
While those big households were tormenting the Shuntian Mansion, they also brought matters into the palace through various connections.
Naturally, Zhu Qizhen got wind of this, so he was furious at the court meeting and ordered the Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment to solve the case within half a month, otherwise he would be severely punished.
Therefore, Feng Zhou settled in Shuntian Mansion as a matter of course, and was immediately given the important task of hunting down the Feitian Thief.
Naturally, everyone in the Shuntian Mansion was very unhappy. Feng Zhou had slapped the Shuntian Mansion in the face many times before. How could it be so easy to ask them to obey orders now?
In particular, Huang An, the current Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, is the most angry. He already knows the conditions proposed by Feng Zhou and Prefect Zhang Qingbo. Doesn't he want to take over Nestlé?
"Hmph, you think that if you pass the Jinshi exam and are proficient in moral articles, you can solve the case of the flying thief, go ahead and dream!"
"If we don't cooperate, how can we solve the case even if he has great literary talent?"
"Hey, he is so young and frivolous that he dares to slap our Shuntian Mansion in the face continuously. Let's make him look good this time!"
"..."
With Huang An's secret push, everyone in the Shuntian Mansion was extremely unwelcome to Feng Zhou's arrival, and even secretly agreed not to cooperate with Feng Zhou, but to make him look good.
Governor Zhang Qingbo saw this and did not express his opinion. Although he had a huge pear, he did not like Feng Zhou at all. He was naturally happy to see him holding back his food.
As for the emperor's time limit, there are also particular about the heads. There are so many cases of Shuntianfu every year, and there are many major cases.
It was only the news about the flying thief's case that aroused great dissatisfaction among some powerful people, and this prompted His Majesty to start such a big fight.
