Chapter 392

Chapter 392

"I am very regretful now. I regret that I should have ignored the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the border town, and encouraged the fried barbarians to wait for the invaders!"

"Now I fully understand that the new rituals are the true way of benevolence, so after the implementation of the new rituals, the offensive and defensive trends have changed! It's my selfishness, and I don't hesitate to co-operate in order to make the world respect the old rituals forever!"

"But gentlemen, can you, for the sake of my generations of Hanlin and three generations of Confucian ministers, beg Your Majesty for me in front of the emperor, and ask him to give the criminal another chance. The common people dedicate their lives!"

"I can go to Saibei, go overseas, to promote new rituals, and to spread the royal style!"

In front of the hall official of the Sanfa Division, Shen Renzhong spoke with a sad face.

Yang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, asked, "Have you never thought about what will happen if you fail?"

"have not thought!"

"At that time, I only thought about causing trouble for the construction of the new ceremony. In addition, I didn't expect that some colleagues would report it after finding out about it!"

"In this way, even if the ethos of Ding Mao and Mao has already begun to appear in the officialdom, I was not used to it for a while. I didn't think he had really become an ethos, and I still couldn't help but behave as before. Do things with the ethos of hiding what you can."

Shen Renzhong said.

Yang Wei didn't intend to tell Shen Renzhong that this was Li Rusong's exposure, and said: "It's too late to regret now, don't think about intercession, this dynasty has no shortage of Qingliu Confucian officials, especially Qingliu Confucianists who are high-spirited and upright Minister, it’s not enough for you to act dishonestly to make up for it.”

Shen Renzhong smiled wryly after hearing this, and said nothing more, and was hanged in the city shortly afterwards.

"Follow us!"

"All arrested! I really don't understand you guys. Why do you support the Tartars and the invaders, just because the new rituals treat the people as human beings? Isn't benevolent government and love for the people what you have always advocated?"

"Don't dawdle, Mei Hanlin, since you still can't hang yourself from a beam, come with us. I really didn't expect that you, who always talk about benevolence, justice and morality, have evil intentions!"

It is no coincidence.

From the border towns to the interior, powerful bureaucrats who colluded with the Tartars like Shen Renzuo began to be arrested by Jin Yiwei by name, and they had no family members.

In addition to Ruan Jing's sudden death, Ji Fengyi and Han Guangmao were also escorted to the capital and awaited interrogation.

After Han Guangmao was escorted to Beijing, he happened to be locked in the cell next to Ji Fengyi.

Ji Fengyi, who had been imprisoned for many days, couldn't help asking Han Guangmao: "Are you also committing the crime of communicating with barbarians?"

Han Guangmao asked, "You too?"

"That's right! I also understand Yi."

Ji Fengyi replied, and then asked Han Guangmao: "Do you think the world is normal now? Officials are less and less greedy for money and not afraid of trouble, and the crime of collaborating with barbarians is more serious than conspiracy."

Han Guangmao asked, "What do you think?"

"unusual!"

"Very abnormal!"

Ji Fengyi answered a few words loudly, and then said: "My master released me from the mansion, and used money to support me from Jingwei experience to general manager. The purpose is to let him hold the military power in the future, so that his Shen family can have more Money is powerful, but when you encounter such a world where officials and officials suddenly no longer protect each other, how does this allow my master to expand his family business, and this allows other families of powerful officials and gentry to enrich themselves?"

"The world's dignitaries, officials and gentry really like such a world that obeys the rules? This is obviously only a world that the common people like!"

After Ji Fengyi said that, he looked at Han Guangmao again.

"At least it's normal now, otherwise we won't lose!"

"As long as the world's wealth can continue to increase, he can continue to be normal."

"People die for money, and birds die for food. This situation is happening now only because those in power can get more money instead of collecting money from the people, so they can establish new rituals and correct the atmosphere."

"It's only those of us who are out of season that we appear abnormal and end up being hacked."

Han Guangmao said at this time.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The sound of tick-tock-tick water leaks rhythmically in the tall and majestic hall.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun was admonishing Fang Fengshi who was summoned.

"You should understand that if the new rituals want to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the only way to get more people to accept the new rituals is to increase the wealth of the world before the people's wisdom is fully opened!"

"Let more people accept the idea that benefiting the people is as important as making the country rich and strong, so that the people can turn from cowardice to strength as soon as possible, so that the citizens and workers can really grow up to fight against the powerful and right subordinates, and then ensure that the imperial court can govern the world as it should. The arm finger can make everyone have the heart of the community and the common people, and it will make the world flourish forever."

"But if you want to increase the wealth of the world, you must either get it from the barbarians or get it from practical affairs. Both of them need to be armed, so that you can make the barbarians fearful and submissive to the outside world, and make the powerful people not only know how to cheat because of cunning and cunning at home. abduction;"

"But now, quite a few military officials from the Nine Frontiers have made a secret report saying that civil officials such as the governor of the border town and the Bingbei Dao have withheld rewards to make up for the shortfall. How can such behavior make the military stronger?"

"What's more, the rewards and silver are all issued from my gold flowers and silver, it's my money!"

"Why do they use my money to make up for the shortfall?"

"Also, why did they lose money?"

Zhu Yijun picked up a bunch of secret notes and waved them in front of Fang Fengshi, but he didn't say which military official made the secret notes, he just kept questioning Fang Fengshi.

Zhu Yijun then stared at Fang Fengshi, and continued to ask: "These, you, the chief minister in charge of military aircraft, do you know or not?"

Fang Fengshi lowered his head and replied: "I know!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun relaxed his shoulders, but asked in a serious tone: "Then why didn't you play?!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the output of border towns is small, so many times when disasters occur, border ministers will use military salaries and rations to relieve disasters. This is a common occurrence, but it is not ruled out that many of them will take military salaries and rations. The rewards of meritorious officers and soldiers are transferred to the Tartars, and the Tartars are asked not to invade their side. Even if it is useless, there is no fault. If you die or bear the fault of losing your defense, you will only deduct the military pay to make up for the unpaid reward silver, or use the method of killing the good and pretending to be a meritorious service to falsely claim the reward silver, and the civil servants will also lose money to the barbarians because they themselves, Therefore, it is generally not strictly investigated.”

"In this way, they gradually concealed each other."

"In this way, because the border ministers are more willing to have nothing to do, they donate money to the Tartars, which makes the frontier town's treasury appear to be in a deficit."

"Of course, over time, because both civil and military officials protect each other, sometimes they directly embezzle public funds from the treasury or even do nothing, or even use public funds to eat and give gifts in the name of entertaining border patrol officers and governors. .”

"The reason why I didn't go to the memorial is because there are too many people who do this, and your Majesty is taking care of everything. Since the grand master left, it has taken a lot of effort just to eliminate the evil faction and clarify the righteous way. In addition, there is another matter of conquest , In addition, the development of Dongpu also needs to worry His Majesty, so there is no need to worry about it at this time, and His Majesty will be troubled!"

"After all, Your Majesty is a wise king. He knows that when punishing the evil sects in Beijing who slandered the grand master and the foreign expedition to Burma, it is impossible to strictly investigate the deficit and the unpaid wages at this time and cause chaos in the border town. In this way, if you know it, it will only increase your troubles, so the old minister has never talked about it."
