I am the king of the dead

For example, this time, Zhu Qiyu absolutely dare not entrust Yao Kui to do it. It's not that Yao Kui has any bad intentions, but that Yao Kui doesn't have so many bad intentions and can't deal with so many bad people.

"The minister just entrusted him with all the errands of the Ministry of Rites, so as not to miss the state affairs." Hu Yan said with a smile: "Speaking of the matter of the banned books, Your Majesty, do the opposite, we are like this That's right."

Hu Yan said a few words in a low voice, and Zhu Qiyu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, quite approving.

"This trick is done in the opposite direction. It's really clever. It's worthy of being Hu Shangshu." Zhu Qiyu looked at the smile on Hu's face. This old fox is full of bad water.

But Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Your Majesty said this, and if I don't mention it, Your Majesty will do the same. It's just that I said it, and I will do it."

Hu Wei knows His Majesty too well, he has demonstrated all his tricks long ago, and even put on He Zhang's right arm. It's not that His Majesty didn't expect it, but he just had to find someone to do it. He said that His Majesty didn't expect it. Bad idea, Your Majesty's bad idea here, that's an old sow with a bra, one set after another.

"Then do this?" Zhu Qiyu didn't deny it. It's been countless times. Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei's thoughts coincided with each other. The old fox and the little fox are both foxes, very cunning.

Hu Wei held up his hands, and said with a gloomy face: "I will do it. If I don't obey them, I will be buried in Jinshan Cemetery in the future. When I see Emperor Wen, how can I explain to Emperor Wen? Emperor Wen asked: This group of heartless things just arranged us like this, and you didn't deal with it? It's all gone underground, so I can't die again to apologize."

Hu Wei was only a courtier of Ming Dynasty from beginning to end. If he was a courtier of anyone, then he was a courtier of Emperor Wen.

Hu Wei had been the governor of the region for many years in the Yongle Dynasty, and then became an official in the Ministry of Rites. The kindness of knowledge and encounter belonged to Emperor Wen, not Zhu Qiyu.

Over the years, Hu Wei has tried his best to assist Zhu Qiyu. In fact, it is because Zhu Qiyu has seen the shadow of Emperor Wen more or less in Zhu Qiyu that he is willing to take such painstaking efforts.

No matter whose subject this Hu Miao is, when he deserves to enjoy the imperial mausoleum, he is also worthy to enjoy his sacrifice to Zhu Qiyu, so Hu Miao is his subject of Zhu Qiyu, Hu Miao refuses to accept?Then you climb out and object!

Hu Wei's tricks highlight a model who treats his own body with his own way, and doubles it.

The emperor wants to check these historical books, but Hu Wei's idea is that they can't directly check these books, because the more they are banned, the more they will be believed to be true. Instead, it is better to let them go. Lu's books are all banned, and the reason is that Confucian scholars start with the four words of public order and good customs.

Books are for scholars. This kind of obscenity and rubbish are spread in Shilin. The world is declining, people's hearts are not old, and public order and good customs are ruined. Who will be responsible?

This is doing the opposite, doing things with the core principles of Confucianism, and expanding the scope of attack.

Confucian scholars are not easy to object, if they say to block the way of speech, can they use the books of Xiasanlu to remonstrate?It's no wonder that Qingliu's gang of Hanlin didn't tear you up.

But Hu Wei's real purpose is to sort out these folk bookstores and let them grow wildly, but they are disorganized and out of order.

If the high ground of public opinion is not occupied, the enemy will occupy it.

Hu Wei has always been very opposed to the behavior that His Majesty does not care about reputation, and he has personally sprinkled water to wash the ground for 11 years, trying to protect His Majesty's reputation and achievements. Yelling and comparing His Majesty with many stupid kings is not a good way to deal with the problem.

Your Majesty doesn't care, but Hu Wei cares a lot. This is etiquette.

"Your Majesty, this civil servant is talking nonsense. You have to use the court stick when it is time to use it. Over the years, Your Majesty has used this court staff twice. If you are not powerful, you will not be righteous." I persuaded His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu asked back: "Look at what Mr. Hu said, what can I do? Can't I break up with them one by one? The courtiers still scold Mr. Hu for being immoral every day, and Mr. Hu for being a flattering minister. Why don't you see me?" Mr. Hu and his father broke up with them word by word?"

"The minister is the minister, and your majesty is the king. Can it be the same? How does the minister argue, and the description becomes darker and darker. How many people say that when He Zhang went to Yunnan for inspection, it was the minister who caused trouble inside. The conscience of heaven and earth, He Zhang himself was passed the examination. Let the law go outside, what do you do with the minister?" Hu Wei said helplessly, this means that His Majesty does not care about reputation, so how could it be blamed on him.

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands, and said cheerfully: "Isn't this what it is? What Mr. Hu said is getting darker and darker."

"I'm too lazy to tell them, and I don't need to spank them. They are always spanking their own faces. I can still have fun. This time, they are the ones who want to communicate with the Wala people. They were slapped by the Ara Zhiyuan." The ones who can’t find Bei, the ones who are so excited and want to beat them up, isn’t this just slapping yourself?”

"I said before that my Northern Expedition was the act of Emperor Yang of Sui. Hey, when I fought wars, I was just a warlord. I am a king of subjugated countries. If they want to fight fiercely, aren't they all ministers of subjugated countries?"

"After so many years, we also understand that these courtiers just say that what they say is not all right, but it is not all wrong, but they have a shortcoming, that is empty talk, they don't care if it can be realized. But We are the emperor, we have to take care of him, we have to implement him, if Ara Zhiyuan wants to kill Yu Shaobao, I will put the army into his mouth and force him to die by himself."

"They have scolded the King of Subjugation for all these years, and in the end, their mouths are drawn on their faces."

"That's true." Hu Wei did not persuade His Majesty, but was persuaded a little bit, but it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites to ensure that His Majesty's reputation and achievements are not damaged. Compiled on His Majesty's head.

Hu Yi leaned on the back of the chair, and suddenly said: "If the crown prince has half the talent of His Majesty, my Ming Dynasty can be extended for a hundred years."

"Mr. Hu's father said carefully, this is the foundation of the crown prince's country. It is not appropriate for you to discuss this matter privately and get involved with the emperor's heir." Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table to remind Hu.

"If you say this in Yanxing Building, if you say it to Changxiang at home, it is a private discussion, but if you say it to Your Majesty, how can it be a private discussion?" Hu Wei sat up straight, and His Majesty asked him to stop, and he Even if you don't stop, you still have to say it.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Min, thought about Hu Min's persistent attitude, and then replied very seriously: "The prince's intelligence is indeed not as good as Ji'er, nor is it as good as Ru'er, but in my opinion, there are no mistakes or omissions. , A successful person can be a king, and the pioneering work is left to his elder brother, Daming is too young to accommodate the ambitions of Ji'er and Ru'er."

"Mr. Hu is a good teacher. With Ji'er and Ru'er's thoughts, Dapeng will rise with the same wind in one day and soar up to [-] miles."

"Master Hu suggested that I should change the crown prince?"

Zhu Qiyu was puzzled, but this Hu Wei firmly supported the prince and gave Zhu Jiancheng a lot of ideas.

Zhu Qiyu sometimes even feels that his ambition is not as good as that of the two children. In many things, Zhu Qiyu is very petty. He is relatively narrow, and he only cares about the three-acre land of Daming, the places inside and outside the Guan, the Western Regions of Sichuan and Tibet, and the Jiaozhi of the Northeast. However, Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen, the two children, are as high as the sky and as wide as the sea, and under the whole world, even the sky is the king's land.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Hu Wei hurriedly thanked him. This is not a problem of his education. King Chong and King Yi are fighting for their own strength. King Yi is currently in Helin. He has already traveled nearly ten thousand miles in the army before he was 13 years old. up.

Hu Yi also taught King Jili, didn't he also teach such a valuable thing?

"The subject is actually to see if His Majesty intends to change the crown prince." Hu Mei also chose to tell the truth. In fact, Hu Wei was more worried that the more his Majesty looked at the crown prince, the more he would dislike him. It would be a big deal to change the crown prince.

"I can't promise you. If he learns from Liu Shi and Li Chengqian one day, I don't want to change, and I have no choice." Zhu Qiyu didn't make a promise, but it was equivalent to making a promise, as long as he didn't learn Without Liu Shi and Li Chengqian, Zhu Qiyu has no reason to abolish the prince.

The stable replacement of the throne is a great thing for Daming and the imperial court.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Just as Hu Wei was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and wanted to bow three times and kowtow five times. Xing'an immediately supported Hu Wei. At his age, he absolutely couldn't kneel anymore.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said, "I also thank Mr. Hu for his help these years."

"Minister, resign." Hu Wei no longer insisted, Jingtai has been in business for 11 years, Hu Wei has no regrets in his heart.

"Mr. Hu, has the burden on him been completely relieved?" Xing'an looked at this posture and said with a complex expression.

"He has a good idea. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites have been relieved, and he still has to do the errands of the young master of the prince. If I let him do the errands, can he not do it?" Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "He is old, but he is not confused. , as long as you don’t get confused, you have to keep doing errands.”

Xing'an couldn't bear it and said: "It's time to retire, according to the usual practice, it's time to rest, it's such an old age."

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial and said: "How can my holy family have such a good time? At most, I will give less errands in the future."

Xing'an tried his best, but His Majesty in front of him, the first principle of employing people is to make sustainable use of resources.Sustainability is important, and so is fishing to the fullest.

Hu Wei thought that he was completely relieved when he resigned from office this time, and moved out of the government office. He went to Tai'an Palace for a job, and then went fishing to take care of his life. Even if nothing came to light, and there was no reply, Hu Ming would understand completely.

His Majesty will not let him go until he dies.

The words are divided into two parts, isn't this a kind of approval from His Majesty the Emperor?

"Mr. Hu." The crown prince Zhu Jiancheng stretched out his hand, waiting for the ruler to fall down. Hu Yu slapped Zhu Jiancheng's palm vigorously. The painful Zhu Jiancheng shuddered, but he didn't dare to cover his hand.

"Knead it." Hu Wei put down the ruler and asked Zhu Jiancheng to rub his hands to relieve the pain.

"The third brother is also wrong. Master Hu doesn't beat the third brother, he is biased." Zhu Jiancheng said aggrievedly, rubbing his palms.

Hu Wei said solemnly: "You are the prince."

Zhu Jianjun, who was standing next to him, didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said loudly: "I heard from a maid in the palace that since ancient times, I have never heard of the prince's young master beating the prince. Mr. Hu is the first one. When the time comes, the second brother will beat the prince." I will definitely settle accounts after autumn."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Jiancheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to stare at Zhu Jianjun and said, "Father told me very clearly that if I ascended the throne, no one would dare to beat me. If I scolded me, teacher and father beat me In order to correct my bad habits, I did make mistakes, and if I am wrong, I am wrong!"

When Zhu Jiancheng was beaten for the first time, he went to Zhu Qiyu to complain. After Zhu Qiyu asked the reason, he explained the reason clearly. Hu Wei beat the prince in the hope that he would become a talent. A courtier can't do it for the prince. However, it is the responsibility of the emperor to take this risk. If he refuses to study hard because of resentment, he will fail everyone's expectations.

The Tai'an palace was airtight, and Hu Wei beat the prince with a ruler. The courtiers didn't know about this big event.

"See father." Zhu Jiancheng saw the figure, saw that it was his father, and hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Jianjun said nonchalantly: "Father is going to discuss with the court now, don't scare people."

"Third brother, where did you learn the ability to poke outside?" As soon as Zhu Qiyu came in, he heard Zhu Jianjun fighting, picked up Zhu Jianjun and slapped him on the buttocks, Zhu Jianjun was not honest at all, kept going Struggling, wanting to break free.

"Learned from my father!" Zhu Jianjun shouted after being beaten.

Among the emperor's heirs, the only one who is not afraid of Zhu Qiyu is the youngest Zhu Jianjun. This child follows his mother and started climbing trees to dig out bird eggs at the age of three. It is commonplace and unrepentant.

Zhu Qiyu was not annoyed either, pinching Zhu Jianjun's cheek and said: "Hey, you little bastard, who are you scolding!"

"Father, you scold yourself, it's not me who scolds you, I'm a little bastard, and my father is a rabbit!" Seeing that he couldn't shake off the hand pinching his face, Zhu Jianjun said angrily.

Zhu Qiyu cheerfully let go of Zhu Jianjun, and Zhu Jianjun puffed up his cheeks in anger. In his world, he didn't succeed in making a fuss, and was even pinched by his father. It was a failure.

As for being beaten, Zhu Jianjun didn't care, he was used to it.

"What's Mr. Hu going to say today?" Zhu Qiyu touched Zhu Jianjun's head, and Zhu Jianjun turned his head angrily, still angrily.

Hu Wei looked at Zhu Jiancheng and said very seriously: "Short hand to take people, short mouth to eat people, not to be obedient, but good intentions, to distinguish loyalty from traitors."

"Then Master Hu, I'll listen to it too." Zhu Qiyu sat upright like a student, waiting for Hu Wei to start class.

Hu Wei said with a complex expression: "Your Majesty, if I teach the children, will Your Majesty also listen?"

"At that time, I was just the king of Yan, and I became the emperor by driving the ducks to the shelves. I made up lessons, made up lessons." Zhu Qiyu said quite seriously, he didn't come to make up lessons once or twice, every day or two, as long as he was not busy, he would come It would be too embarrassing for Zhu Qiyu not to understand a word when the courtiers quoted scriptures.

Most of Zhu Qiyu's cunning is learned from Hu Wei.

Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei, the sons and ministers, are also strange, one dares to speak, the other dares to learn.

Chapter 9 uses food and grass as bait to advance greedily

Zhu Qiyu really didn't have Emperor Education, he really came to make up lessons.

And Hu Yiren is nearly 90 years old, but the order of his speech is still very smooth. When he talks about classic history collections, he quotes from the classics, and he doesn't even need to read the book, but when he speaks the truth, it is a polite sentence. nothing.

Hu Wei raised his hands and said: "This is short of hands and short of mouth. If one of the parties is a parent official, such as Yin Qian, he told the left and right that the woman sang correctly, and then the woman was voluntarily sent to Yin Qian's residence. Yin Qian After taking the benefits, when others ask him to do something, he has to do it. When the spring and autumn taxes come, he has to pay for the misfortune and be exempted. Another pen."

"Being an upright official is much more difficult than being a treacherous official. It requires a delicate heart. This kind of win over will accompany Yin Qian's life. If he is disciplined and respectful, he will be able to live in a down-to-earth manner." Going on, if you don't hold on to any place, you will be like Xiao Zhen, from a mainstay who has been famous through the ages, to a traitor who everyone gets and punishes."

"But this person has selfish desires, and if he thinks wrong, he will never recover. This is also what Yang Shan said to His Majesty before pleading guilty to the law."

Zhu Qiyu looked a little helpless and said: "Yang Shan has also been on the saddle for Daming for so many years. Before leaving, I went to see him. I remember his clamor. He said that this world will not eventually become the world of Datong that Yu Shaobao said , because of human nature, the heart has five poisons; he said, I am willing to compromise with the world, no matter how poor and extravagant I am, the world still praises and praises me."

"Yang Shan is a talented person. He is not stubborn. He even knows about Cangmingliu and Cangminghai. I always thought that an old pedant like him would disdain the things I fiddled with, but he is such a person. It’s a pity that we’ve gone astray.”

In the past 12 years as the emperor, Zhu Qiyu felt that the most difficult thing was talent. How could there be enough talent?Whenever he didn't get along, Zhu Qiyu would talk about Wang Fu and Wang Yue who were in the Kang country. They were happy and happy in the Western Regions, and they didn't think about the nervousness of the people in the court at all, and they had no respect for them.

Yin Qian is a talent, Zhu Qiyu has some expectations for him.

Yin Qian's report on the matter of the woman was very detailed, and even Yin Qian felt that he had betrayed the emperor's kindness, so he was so detailed.

That woman is voluntary, and she is just a little girl for Master Qingtian, which is much better than singing in a building, and this official figure is always the most respectable, even if she is discarded, she will arrange for her place.

Yin Qian explained in detail that as a county magistrate, his power is within his territory, and he can do whatever he wants as long as he wants. Why is Li Binyan so annoying?Li Binyan stretched out his hand to other people's fields, relying on the holy family, and did whatever he wanted, without even saying hello!

Yin Qian used three words to accurately describe the power of being a county magistrate, that is, the magistrate of the county, as long as he becomes the magistrate, he is the grandpa of everyone in the county, everyone, and those wealthy households who hide extravagance must also be the magistrate. look at your face.

This kind of power makes Yin Qian, a new Jinshi, walk on thin ice and dare not slack off at all. In Changle County, Yin Qian has done a lot of things, such as repairing bridges and roads, punishing corruption, inspecting the county treasury, setting up rural schools, etc. .

What impressed Zhu Qiyu the most was that Yin Qian killed three bully leaders in the county, one of whom had been in danger for a long time, and even reached out to the yamen to manage all the yamen servants, the true emperor of Changle County.

In order to deal with the local emperor, Yin Qian specially invited the Beijing army stationed in Yuegang City Bosi to prevent changes. After taking care of these three bullies, Changle County has been governed for three years.

Zhu Qiyu is very happy to stand for this kind of courtier, just like he is very happy to stand for Li Binyan, isn't he the emperor for this purpose?

Some people gain power, like Yin Qian, walking on thin ice. Some people get power, but forget themselves, get lost in the enjoyment brought by power, completely forget the ambition of the imperial examination, forget the original intention, and forget why they want to be an official. Son.

"This side is short-handed for taking people, and short-mouthed for eating people. It's the same as a courtier, and it's the same as an emperor." Hu Wei's words were somewhat disrespectful.

As an emperor, you can still have short hands and eat people with short mouths. As an emperor, shouldn't you be the only one in the world?

Zhu Qiyu knew clearly that this was not the case.

Hu Ming continued: "This is about Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen is very obedient and changes his way of saying things. He does what he likes to coax King Jili all day long. King Jili knows that Wang Zhen has done something wrong, such as orthodoxy. For ten years, Wang Zhen will have to toss about Shaobao, and the government and the public will be turned against each other, and the trip will not be possible in the end."

"However, most of the time, King Jili said that he would not help his relatives. He just took the money that Wang Zhen extorted for bribes. After taking the benefits, he couldn't stand up. Even if King Jili wanted to deal with Wang Zhen, he couldn't deal with it."

"Wang Zhen doesn't have a heart of obedience. He just pulls the banner of King Jili for personal gain, but Xing'an Dadang doesn't. They are all close ministers of the emperor. If His Majesty doesn't take advantage of Xing'an Dadang, Xing'an Dadang won't." Dare to act recklessly, but be careful everywhere, and the heat is just right."

"This is also the way of the emperor."

Xing'an directly broke the defense, and argued: "Mr. Hu, Your Majesty is dedicated to the public. Our family follows His Majesty to leave a long history, or get some money and sons. These superficial things are more important. Our family still divides the matter." Be clear!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, and let Xing'an defend himself, this is him, the emperor, Hu Wei dared to be so outspoken, otherwise Hu Wei would only make far-fetched quotes from scriptures, saying a bunch of things he didn't understand to fool.

Hu Yan said with a full smile: "Xing'an Dapan, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry, let me speak slowly, Your Majesty, as far as I know, Taibai Tower and Yanxing Tower are both It's Huangzhuang, under the care of Xing'an Dadang."

Almost everyone knows that the two largest restaurants in Beiya have a strong background, but almost no one knows that behind these two restaurants is Dongchang Fanzi.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Yes, but how did Mr. Hu know? This matter is confidential."

"I still know a thing or two about the matter in the capital. For example, the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Xiang has raised a foreign room." Hu Yu said to Xing'an: "This Yanxing Building and Taibai Building are the same. May I ask Xing'an Dadang, if it weren't for the strict inspection by the eunuchs, if His Majesty wants to pay this account, will this guy be able to get money?"

"Yes." Xing'an frowned, but still had to nod.

"Your Majesty has made this account, and the eunuch dare not fool it, dare not fool it. This opening is not opened. If it is opened, is it a matter of course for the younger ones to respect their ancestors?" Hu Wei continued to ask.

"Yes." Xing'an's brows were all frowned, but he still had to admit that this Hu Yi was a mature man, and he could see clearly. If he hadn't been strict, even if he didn't take these two deals, the little eunuch would take them. In order to honor the ancestors, it is logical.

This is the beginning.

Then Hu Wei continued: "So, you took the money, this little yellow door committed a small matter, don't you have to take care of it and say something nice? This time and again, this small matter, if you commit a crime, you will be fine." In order to usurp the divine weapon, Wang Zhen has reached the position of a traitor step by step, step by step, and if you ask him to say it himself, he doesn't even know where to start."

"The reason why Xing'an Dadang is virtuous is because His Majesty is diligent and discerning."

"Yes." Xing'an felt the cold sweat coming out of his back. The last one who broke up with Hu Yan was He Zhang and Chen Xun. Xing'an was really afraid. As Da Dang, if he was impeached by civil servants, it would be fine. If the master cut him off because His Majesty refused to allow corruption, then what is the difference between him and Wang Zhen and others?

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and said with a frown: "Mr. Hu wants to say that I'm cheating. He even has to look at the accounts of the two restaurants. Every penny must be compared, every detail must be investigated, and there are a lot of beating around the bush. Mr. Hu will not just do it." Does this mean? If you want to say it, say it clearly, it’s not like we don’t want people to say it.”

The young master of the prince, Hu Minghu, who talked eloquently and seemed to be in control of everything, directly gave His Majesty a word to make him dumb. He froze in place for a long time, with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
