Chapter 1523 My thoughts are different from those of you loving gentlemen
"What, caught Peng Ju?" Yun said in surprise after hearing Lu Yi's words.
"Yes, the official family. The memorial was sent six hundred miles from Binzhou, Shandong in a hurry. The 'summary' indeed says the words "Capture Peng Ju alive." Lu Yi said again.
"Bring the memorial to me quickly!" Yun ordered. But after saying this, Yun said: "That's all, I'll go to Qianqing Palace to see the memorial. Lu Yi, send someone to pass it on to Huang Huai, Qitai, and Jian. Yi and others went to the palace to see him."
As he spoke, Yun walked out. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of Zhu Zhu, turned around and said to them: "Wenyuan, Wenqi, you talk to Yuan Zheng and Uncle Hou first, and then wait until father has dealt with the matter." Come back and continue talking about the gifts. Wenyuan, please send someone to tell the imperial kitchen to prepare more meals for two people at noon today. Uncle Hou and Yuan Zheng will be left to eat in the palace at noon today. If father does not return to Kunning Palace at noon, You will accompany me to have dinner with Uncle Ho and Yuan Zheng, just like when Uncle Ho came to Beijing a few years ago."
After giving these instructions, without waiting for their agreement, Yun hurriedly walked out of the pavilion where he had just spoken to them, and headed towards Qianqing Palace.
After a while, Yun came to Qianqing Palace. The young eunuch had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Yun walking in, he bowed and immediately handed the memorial to him with both hands.
Yun took the memorial and pulled out something that seemed to be a bookmark but was similar in style to the wat held by officials when they went to court. He took a look and saw the words "capture Peng Ju alive" written on it.
This is the abstract. Writing abstracts on memorials is a new rule he has established in recent years. In order to show their contribution, ministers are often willing to write down everything in detail, but how can you have so much time to write thousands of words of memorials from scratch? Read it to the end? So the summary system was implemented, requiring that all memorials with more than 500 words must be summarized. The number of words in the summary of less than 1,000 words should not exceed one-tenth of the number of words in the memorial, and the number of words in the summary of more than 1,000 words should not exceed 100. Words. All long memorials without abstracts, unless related to major events such as rebellion or disaster, will not be read and returned directly. After several months of confrontation between Yun and the ministers, this rule was finally established. Some officials tried to figure out Yun's thoughts. , the abstract becomes shorter as it is written, just like this memorial, which only contains four words.
Yun read the summary and made sure Lu Yi read it correctly. He opened the memorial and read it carefully. Yun read it very carefully. After a while, he raised his head, smiled and said three words "good".
Of course he was happy. This time the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, at least the White Lotus Sect in Shandong was a great success. Peng Ju, the leader of the White Lotus Sect's Shandong altar, was caught at the last moment; eight of the thirteen altar leaders had been captured and four killed. , only one person's whereabouts are unknown; more than 90% of the more than 100 incense owners were captured and killed. The fruitful results even exceeded Yun's imagination.
"Okay, okay!" Yun said three more good words in a row.
"The official, Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is waiting for summons at Qianqing Gate. Do the officials want to see him?" Lu Yi said again at this time. He just went to ask the young eunuch to send a message to Huang Huai and others, and came to Qianqing Gate. At the time of the Qing Dynasty, Yun had already begun reading the memorial. He did not dare to disturb him, so he stood aside and waited until Yun had finished reading the memorial before he came forward to speak.
"I also feel that for such an important matter, Qin Song cannot just send the memorial to the palace without coming. Quickly announce Qin Song's audience." Yun said.
Lu Yi agreed, turned around and left. After a while, Qin Song, who was wearing a third-grade official uniform, walked in and saluted: "I, Qin Song, have met your Majesty."
"No need to be polite." After Yun said this, he immediately smiled and said: "Qin Song, Jin Yiwei did a good job on this errand."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is all the responsibility of the Jin Yiwei. And without the White Lotus cultists in Suzhou, the Jin Yiwei alone would never be able to achieve this level." Qin Song said hurriedly.
"Although it is a matter of duty, there is a difference between whether the errand is done well or not. Besides, since those White Lotus believers have turned their backs, I ordered them to wear the flying fish uniforms of the Jinyiwei. They are the people of the Jinyiwei, and they have made great contributions.
It's also the credit of Jin Yiwei." Yun said.
Qin Song said a few more words of humility. However, Yun paid no attention to his humble words and said: "This time, the Jin Yiwei sent to Shandong to suppress the White Lotus Sect will be rewarded with half a year's salary except for those who have made obvious mistakes. Those who have made outstanding contributions will be rewarded with a salary of half a year."
There are also rewards; if the Jinyiwei policemen in other provinces who suppressed the White Lotus Sect can do such a good job, they will also be rewarded in the same way, and people like Aiqing who sit in the capital will also be rewarded with half a year's salary. I will also reward you, Aiqing.
reward."
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Qin Song could only kneel down and thank him.
"But I'm not in a hurry right now about how to reward them. The imperial edict to reward them won't be issued yet, and I still have to think about it. The most important thing now is how to deal with these White Lotus believers who might be captured anyway," Yun said.
As he was talking, Huang Huai, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and others had already walked in. After he finished speaking, he bowed and saluted. He excused them from the ceremony and asked them to sit down. After that, he briefly introduced the progress of the suppression of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong.
, and then said: "My dear friends, although the memorials for the suppression of the White Lotus Sect in other provinces have not yet been sent to the capital, now that Shandong has captured so many people, I want to discuss with you all how to deal with these White Lotus sects."
"Your Majesty, the treatment should be carried out according to the precedent of the late emperor and the White Lotus believers in the early years of Jianye. The altar owner and the hall owner will all be executed, and their descendants will be executed. If the incense owner is a meritorious person, he can be dealt with according to the merits of his crime and meritorious service.
The incense owner who was not captured alive will also be executed, but his wife and children do not need to be executed; elite believers will treat him as the incense owner. Ordinary believers can be pardoned if they have not done any evil." Huang Huai was the first to say. He was the head of the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister, of course, should be the first to speak.
After listening to Huang Huai's words, Yun did not immediately express his opinion, but looked at the others. "Your Majesty, I think that what Huang Shangshu said is generally good. However, if there is a righteous hall master, he should also be regarded as a righteous successor.
The merits will be considered based on the small amount of merit, rather than all executions. In addition, the altar masters, hall masters, etc. who have not turned out to be in any way, although I want to be executed, but their wives and children can be punished according to whether they are evil or not, and there is no need to kill the whole family. "
Jian Yi said. He thought about what Yun meant. According to past management, he should be unwilling to kill too many people, so he put forward this opinion.
Yun still did not express his opinion and looked at the others. The others also expressed their opinions, which were generally similar to those of Huang Huai and Jian Yi.
After a while, when no one spoke again, Yun said: "My thoughts are different from those of you, dear sir."
