Chapter 010 Talking about abolition

"The reason why I am not exaggerating here is to speak out about the country's major affairs is that I am not talking about selfish nonsense because of my own job. Because my brother has promised me to have an errand for me in the imperial guards. If I don't eat here, there will be food. So the Jinyiwei has nothing to do with me. Only in this way can I analyze this matter from the most fair perspective. I would like to forgive Mr. Huang if it is right."

This is a premise, which shows that one has no interests and shows that one has a fair position and is truly dedicated to the country.

Mr. Huang nodded silently. The little fat man's face was filled with joy, because he was happy about his brother and was finally willing to hang out with him.

First give the fat man a grateful smile, then smiled and said to Mr. Huang: "Hongwu set up the Jinyiwei, and not to mention whether the descendants of future generations should be invalidated. Just the role of establishing the Jinyiwei, Hongwu's good intentions should be understood by the descendants of future generations."

Mr. Huang said: "At that time, Mr. Hongwu was very talented and had a great strategy. The purpose of establishing the Jinyiwei was to directly command the guards, patrol and arrest, and engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. He also participated in the work of collecting military information and instigating enemy generals. For example, he collected a large amount of Japanese military information during the Korean War of Wanli. He was very successful in military achievements."

Zhao Xing clapped: "Young Master Huang's understanding of the Jinyiwei is deeper than that of the lower class, and I admire it." Then he said bluntly: "The Jinyiwei was established as a transcendent existence, not under the jurisdiction of other yamen, and not involved in any other officials' interests. In addition to the censors, this institution is also supervising the civil and military officials of the court again."

The commanders of the Jinyiwei are all trusted generals of the emperor and are directly responsible to the emperor. Anyone, including royal relatives, can be arrested.

Mr. Huang frowned and said, "All civil and military officials in the court are enough to have censors. Why do you have to do this in vain?" This is one of the reasons why civil officials criticized the Jinyiwei.

Zhao Xing smiled: "Ha, if Mr. Huang thinks that the censor can do it, why would Mr. Hongwu have to do such a trouble again? Now, the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was in the same year, and climbing the countryside and pulling the family has become popular. What is this for? It's not about taking care of each other. And taking care of each other is to protect each other, which is the most terrible style of administration. A censor who broke the law in the same year, did he report to the present truthfully?"

Mr. Huang was stunned for a long time and refuted: "I firmly believe in the ethics of a gentleman."

Zhao Xing looked at him like a monster, and then sneered: "The most unreliable thing in the world is the ethics of gentlemen. If Mr. Huang had to believe it, unless the world was full of gentlemen." Then he suddenly asked inexplicably: "Mr. Huang thinks the character of Mr. Fan Wenlan, the governor of Zhejiang Province?"

Mr. Huang seemed unable to keep up with Zhao Xing's ideas, but he thought about it and finally concluded: "A honest and noble man, a true gentleman. Otherwise, he would not be one of the leaders of Donglin. He should be a role model for the world."

Zhao Xing sneered: "But as far as I know about the Jinyiwei, this Donglin leader, a honest and noble gentleman, is rich, and his favorite is the elegance of brothel wine. Now, he is busy fighting for a courtesan with a scholar who has settled, and he spends 100,000 yuan to build a garden for the courtesan in Hangzhou." Then he asked the fat man with a profound meaning: "No matter where his money comes from, such a matter of disobedience to etiquette, the court strictly prohibits officials from taking brothel actors as concubines. Has the censor alone reported it to the present?"

The little fat man immediately shook his head like a rattle, which made Zhao Xing very worried, worried that he would throw out the fat oil on his cheeks and make him oily.

"There is still this?" Mr. Huang was surprised and disbelieved, and then naturally asked Wang Chengen, who was hiding among the ten guards: "Is this really true?"

Wang Chengen was embarrassed, and his identity was almost revealed, so he replied: "The master said, the master said—" It's really hard to fulfill his lie.

Zhao Xing laughed: "No need to ask, the Hangzhou Censor will not report it to the upper house because--" Then he stared at Mr. Huang and said word by word: "Because, the Zhejiang Censor is the in-laws of Fan Wenlan."

No one needs to say this. Chongzhen knew that what Zhao Xing was talking about was the truth. Zhejiang Censor was Fan Wenlan's in-laws, which is well-known to everyone in the world.

Mr. Huang depressedly picked up the dishes in front of him with chopsticks and muttered fiercely: "What a good official Fan Wenlan, Fan Qing. When the emperor gave the banquet, he also said to the emperor, 'My family is poor and dare not eat the emperor's greasy food to avoid discomfort. But I invite the emperor to be frugal and keep the whole world, thinking of me, a gentleman who can't eat oil and water for a year, and there are poor people in the world who can't eat oil and water for a year.'" But then he became confused: "No, how did your Jinyiwei know that his family's capital is huge, and he also took out 100,000 silver to build a garden for a brothel woman?"

Zhao Xing smiled: "The duties of the Jinyiwei."

"But your Jinyiwei is lying?"

Zhao Xing smiled slightly: "If Mr. Huang doesn't believe in the Jinyiwei, he can send his confidant to investigate."

As soon as such words came out, Mr. Huang was choked at that time.

It is nothing else to choke him. According to the current situation, if the censors are sent to investigate, there will definitely be no real result. Instead, there will be more people who are praised by Zhejiang governor Fan Wenlan. However, the Jinyiwei and the eunuchs in the military supervision and guards in various places themselves do not trust them. Who else can I send to investigate?

Only then did Chongzhen realize sadly that he had no trustworthy feelings.

Zhao Xing bowed to Bei in a fake manner: "I don't think it's possible for the children and relatives to help the relatives, but the direct descendants of the emperor will be sacked and it's impossible to investigate. So, who else does the emperor expect to tell the truth to the emperor?"

Then he knocked on the table and felt heartbroken: "All officials have the disadvantages of protecting their feelings, and they instructed the emperor to sack the only personal army that could give the emperor the truth of the world. I don't know, how can I control the world without leaving the deep palace and relying on memorials?" Then he added: "I guess there is a severe drought in the northwest. Yulin has not rained for three years. The king gathered tens of thousands of people two or three years ago. The emperor definitely did not see the matter of killing officials and uprising the matter in the memorials."

Chongzhen's hands shivered, his face flashed with fear, and he changed into a huge shock: "Is there actually something wrong? Is there really someone in the northwest who kills officials and rebels?"

This is a big deal, but Chongzhen has never received any news, which is going to ruin a big deal.
