Chapter eight hundred and thirty fourth
Jianbutang's illness was cured very quickly.
This morning, Wang Gui brought his godson to Rouyi Hall and reported to Zhu Gaoxu: Jian Yi had already been to the Ministry of Personnel and had personally signed Liu Ming's appointment letter, and seemed to have to submit a statement to thank the two Korean men for their gratitude.
Zhu Gaoxu let out a short laugh, shook his head gently, and then turned his eyes back to the books in front of him.
Wang Gui stood beside him for a while. Zhu Gaoxu pondered again: "The Yang family can finally be killed."
He didn't think about this decision at the moment, but he had already weighed it back and forth many times before.
There should be some prerequisites. First, we must catch Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji to avoid creating hatred, but we cannot completely eliminate hatred; secondly, we must be killed sooner or later, because Yang Shiqi is the deposed princelings. If such people are not killed, it is not enough to show Zhu Gaoxu's justice and confidence in obtaining the throne.
As of the night before yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu thought of another premise. It was Liu Ming's appointment issue, which had to wait until the monarch and ministers reached a compromise and consensus. In this way, the Yang family would not be killed, and would be linked to other things, creating a misunderstanding that creates a terrifying atmosphere.
Zhu Gaoxu finally remembered his original idea and wanted to reach a "political sincerity" with civil servants. Otherwise, there would be many things to do in the management of the dynasty and the power of governing the country, where can we find people to be assured?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that eunuchs Wang Gui and others were looking thoughtful.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately spoke again: "When I kill someone, I will have clear orders and be fully responsible for it. Life is at stake, so you must never guess."
Wang Gui hurriedly said, "Yes, I will leave."
But his godson Cao Fu did not leave, and came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, I will bring the miserable Lord Lian outside Xi'an Gate."
"Lien?" Zhu Gaoxu repeated, and suddenly said, "Oh...what did you bring her here?"
Cao Fu bowed and said, "This person was once in Yingtian Prefecture, and the Ministry of Justice's Office beat drums and shouted for justice. Later, she was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's prison for a while, and the emperor led his troops to the capital and released him. The ministers were afraid that she would continue to shout for justice and would damage the reputation of the court, so they asked the Beizhenfusi to send someone to watch. There was no way at that time, and the murderer Yang Ji was not captured, and no one could quell the wrongs for her (Yang Shiqi's handling was not finalized).
A very ridiculous thing happened two days ago. There was a young man near Taiping Gate. When he learned that Yang Ji was caught, he went to find Lian, with the intention of cheating.
Later, Jinyiwei learned that Qingpi claimed to have a relationship in the officialdom and was in the same way as someone in Yingtian Mansion. He wanted the Lian family to commit himself to him, so he asked someone to convict Yang Ji. Otherwise, the Yang family would find a way to get Yang Ji out again.
That guy also got tricked, and he really had some knowledge. He believed that Yang Ji would die, so he thought that he would take the credit for himself in front of Lian."
Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "The world is so great that it is really amazing."
"No?" Cao Fu said, "But that guy didn't know that the Jinyiwei had been staring at Lian's family. This disaster came from the sky, because of fraud, attempted lure and attempted rape, the slightest exile to Liaodong. The Lianshi seemed to be confused, and he thought that the Jinyiwei soldiers who arrested the liar were relatives and friends of the Yang family, and followed them all the way to the imperial city. When I learned about this, I took her to Xi'an Gate to wait."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu repeated in confusion: "What did you bring her here?"
Cao Fu showed a pleasing smile: "I have seen her and she looks good. I am very clear about the origin. What's more, the emperor will not repay her kindness if he sanctions her injustice?"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Cao Fu, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Cao Fu, clicked his finger, and smiled bitterly, "Is I such a big shot?"
"No! This is something that I do on my own initiative." Cao Fu then looked serious as if he was exploring the truth. "I am also very curious. Why do people like to provoke widows so much and rack their brains for it? Maybe there is something special about it."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's because there is no master."
Cao Fu hurriedly said, "The Emperor is wise."
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly couldn't help laughing, because it was a bit absurd and funny to study women here. He changed into a comfortable position and leaned on the chair, "I sometimes feel curious, why do you like to help me search for women?"
Cao Fu bowed and said, "I just want to make the emperor happy. As long as the emperor is happy, I will be even happier. I am not like Ji Gang. I find the good and intercept it first by myself under the banner of the palace. I am a eunuch, and I am a good person, and I am very comfortable to do such things."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Cao Fu's fat face and said after a while: "It's still loyal to the old man."
Cao Fu said: "The life of me is also the emperor's."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Take that man in, let me take a look."
Cao Fu bent down and bowed, and stepped back and left the table next to the table.
"Cao Fu." Zhu Gaoxu called out again.
Cao Fu hurriedly trotted back: "What else does the emperor have to give?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Don't do anything nonsense, I'm too lazy to clean up the mess for you."
Cao Fu smiled and said, "I will just rest assured when doing my business."
After a long time, Cao Fu indeed came in with a strange young woman. The woman should be Lian. Lian first looked around, and then saw Zhu Gaoxu sitting behind the big table.
Zhu Gaoxu was also looking at her. He was indeed a little pretty. No wonder she was so excited about the green skin. She was dressed very simply, with a wooden hairpin tied up with a cotton gray dress. Although the cotton gray dress was old, it could be seen that the cutting and the materials were originally very good. She looked very well and well-proportioned, with a slightly plump facial line, but she was not fat, she looked quite white, with little eyes but pretty, and her expression gave people a serious and upright feeling.
Cao Fu touched her arm gently, and Lian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The young lady bowed to the emperor and asked the emperor to be the master of the people!"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Get up."
Lian got up carefully as he said.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The person who said he wanted to help you is a liar and has been arrested by the Jinyiwei. The government is not not not taking the initiative for you, but because Yang Ji ran away and was not caught. He was arrested a few days ago, and he was dead. It is useless to find anyone. No one in the world can save him. Killing people will pay for his life. The truth will remain unchanged. You don't have to run around for this anymore.
No one is your benefactor, nor am I. The monarch and minister of the court are just maintaining the rules set by themselves. Do you understand?"
Cao Fu stood there silently.
Unlike ordinary common people, Lian's family is more courageous, otherwise she would not have dared to make trouble in the capital for a few years. She asked at this time: "Why did Yang Ji kill someone? It's so good that it's useless to complain?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Any rule depends on people to implement. If the person who executes it has power, he may not be bound by the rules. The person who originally protected Yang Ji was the kind of person; to be sure, he was abolishing the prince's party. Our dynasty governed the world is not perfect and fair, and it is difficult to achieve. Nowadays, the lives of common people cannot be seized by others at will. Maintaining minimum safety requires very complicated rules.
But after I was punished by heaven, all the members of that party have been destroyed. Who is willing to break the rules and favor the fallen Yang family?"
"The tree falls and the money scatters?" Lian Shi said.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "I didn't say it in vain."
Lian looked up at him, then immediately lowered his eyes: "Why did the Lord tell me this?"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin and said, "You have not been easy for the past few years, I feel deeply sympathy. I am a reputable and honest person... This is the case most of the time. Besides, the power is not for playing."
Lian said in a trembling voice: "I think the emperor is above all else, and the common people cannot see it."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "It is indeed not easy to see. There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty who can see the emperor. So do I still have to eat and sleep?"
When Lian heard this, he peeked at Zhu Gaoxu again.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "But as long as I see it, I don't need to emphasize authority in front of a commoner. You don't have to be afraid. You have neither broken the law nor have you have to take salary from me. What will I do to you?"
He was silent for a while, rubbed his palms on his forehead, and waved to Cao Fu over and whispered a few words in Cao Fu's ear.
Cao Fu kept nodding, then bowed and said, "I will do it immediately."
Cao Fu walked down to Lian and asked, "Have you met Yang Ji's father?"
Lian nodded.
Cao Fu said, "Then you go with our family..." He touched Lian again and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, we have taught you."
Lian knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed and said, "My daughter thanks you and give up."
After saying that, she stood up, followed Cao Fu and took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out nervously.
...Cao Fu prepared, and at night, he took Lian to a carriage, Du Erlang, the North Pacifier of the Jinyiwei North Pacifier, and a team of soldiers followed him all the way to Yang's Mansion.
As soon as Lian got off the carriage, he said, "Eunuch Cao, this is Yang Ji's family."
Cao Fubai's fat round face showed a harmless smile of humans and animals: "It's really not a good thing to have enemies staring at him."
Lian said: "Yang Ji is at home?"
Cao Fu shook his head and said, "How could the murderer be at home? He is now squatting in the imperial prison in Hongwu Gate. He should be sent to Yingtian Prefecture Prison in a few days. The Jinyiwei does not care about the civil criminal trial."
The crowd walked to the gate, and the people guarding the gate came forward and saluted respectfully: "Young people pay homage to Eunuch Cao and General Du."
Du Erlang said: "You have nothing to do. Go home and rest. I will go to Beizhen Fushi tomorrow."
Everyone answered: "Get order!"
"Does Eunuch Cao love to watch dramas?" Du Erlang asked.
Cao Fu asked back: "What kind of play?"
Du Erlang said: "A theater, there is a pear garden on the other side of the Qinhuai River. It was run by the Shen family. It sang very well, and it is not comparable to a casual opera troupe."
Cao Fu said: "Our family doesn't have that hobby, so the emperor is interested occasionally. General Du is talking in front of the emperor."
