I don’t want fifth elder brother to get involved, so what’s going on?

Isn't this just adding to the chaos?

Concern leads to chaos, this is what Geng said.

So the Queen Mother spoke. She spoke very clearly and clearly. You kept telling Hong Zhou to stick to his duty. Do you still remember who you are, what your status is, and what your duty is?

Geng had never heard of such a thing before. When he asked it in one sentence, he immediately started to sweat in the cold weather.

However, the Queen Mother was able to save face for the Geng family. She only asked people to announce the oral edict, and it was only in Lin Yutong Palace. There were not many people who knew about it, so no one said it, and there was no way to cause trouble outside.

This is where the Queen Mother acts kindly.

Seeing Geng leaving in embarrassment, Lin Yutong then ordered, "Whoever dares to talk outside should go to the Criminal Punishment Department." After saying that, he asked Aunt Ping with a smile, "Sit down and have a cup of tea. This year's

Winter tea is good…”

"No!" Aunt Ping smiled humbly, "I know your Majesty is busy, so I won't bother you. I have to go back to meet the Queen Mother."

Lin Yutong asked Bitao to send the person out in person, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that sometimes I am too democratic and too talkative, which is indeed not good for managing the harem.

Aunt Ping went back and learned everything from the Queen Mother: "...The Queen has decreed not to call it a side story. It seems you are right. There is no need to specifically explain that the Queen will do the same thing. This person is indeed a kind person.

people."

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's better to be kind. If you are kind, these children's life will be easier." As she said that, she frowned again, "The one in Yongshou Palace... just wants to take care of too much. If Mr. Geng also follows her

To learn, good children must be taught bad things.”

This is because the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with Xi Concubine.

Aunt Ping said to herself that, if nothing else, she was just too anxious. The Queen Mother met some of her natal family members, and Concubine Xi came to greet her. The reason for this was that the Queen Mother's natal family brought two grandnephews.

Is the girl coming here? How can the Queen Mother not know what she has planned? She has been in the palace all her life and has never memorized things, but she is thinking about people.

She advised: "You just said that the concubines will not be clean after leaving the palace, and now you are worried about it again. Why bother?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "The adopted son is one hundred years old and has ninety-nine worries. The fourth child is now..." Put the sixth elder brother Hong Sheng here. Smart people don't think too much, but that fool must think too much.

?Do you think you are more biased towards this child? A two-year-old child is already too old for you, but he is biased. How many years can you raise him? How long can you wait until the child grows up? This is all done by the fourth child.

Don't you still have to endure this trouble? As he was talking, he seemed to think of something and immediately stopped, "When will Hong Zhou return to the palace? When you come back, please tell me..." He meant well, but the child misunderstood it.

That's not good.

Aunt Ping smiled bitterly in her heart. In fact, the Queen Mother did not need to be so considerate at all. Her own son became the emperor, so she had the power to do whatever she wanted, but seeing this, she was more cautious.

People can't help but think about it, no, so many people are looking forward to it, and Hong Zhou finally came back on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is Laba porridge, sweet, salty, and all kinds of things, but where can I get the time to drink it?

Hong Zhou was kneeling in front of Fourth Master at this moment, and next to him was a box of confessions that were said to be fingerprinted.

"Get up and talk." The Fourth Master looked at Hong Zhou who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but laugh. There were earth dragons in the pavilion and a thick blanket on the floor. He was kneeling, but his buttocks were sitting on his own calves.

, it didn’t tire him. But he had to stand when he got up to talk, so he was very well-behaved and would rather kneel than get up. He didn’t bother the child with a chair, “Sit on the kang.”

Hong Zhou doesn’t dare!

He didn't know whether what he had done this time was considered successful or not. In the past few days, the news had spread to the capital. The capital was in an uproar.

Is there anyone who can do this? Put all the civil and military ministers on a boat and put them in the middle of the lake for questioning. Do you dare not to say this? If you don't say this, they will be thrown into the water and soaked.

Sensational!

Some people say that all these confessions are not counted. Although this is not torture to extract a confession, the nature is similar. How can such confessions be used as evidence in court? Some are relatively mild and moderate. They can only be used as reference, but not as evidence.

Convicting evidence.

There was also the impeachment of the imperial censor, and the papers in front of the Fourth Master were piled up. Some of them were admonishing the Fourth Master not to be nepotistic, and not to listen to partial beliefs just because the fifth elder brother was a prince. Some said that the fifth elder brother was young.

If you are young and do things based on your likes and dislikes, the officials who were brought back to the capital should be sent back to their posts and compensated.

Hong Zhou had expected it before he returned to the capital, so he was not surprised. Even if he did something wrong, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven because he is still a child. But what really scared him was another thing, "

...The prevalence of corruption in the Jiangnan officialdom shocked his son..." He also told the confessions of those who had not originally planned to investigate, "These people are guilty, and their crimes are unpardonable. But my son still makes the decision, first

The money was taken back, but the people were put back..." As he said that, he carefully looked at the fourth master's face and said, "The people who were brought back to the capital are still the people on the list you gave your son... In addition, Li

Xu also has a report, please give the Emperor ama a preview."

When Fourth Master saw that he couldn't get up, he stopped shouting. If you want to kneel down, just kneel down.

He took the memorial handed over by Hong Zhou and didn't rush to read it. He knew what Li Xu would write without reading it. It was just to recall the late emperor and ask himself to remember his old feelings for the sake of the late emperor. Then he was determined to serve the new king, and finally

I must have picked out the few things I had in my stomach and wrote down all the things I could use, hoping that for the sake of his so-called loyalty, I would be more generous.

Looking aside, the Fourth Master looked at Hong Zhou and asked him about letting some people go privately, "What do you think? Tell me." He looked very interested.

Hong Zhou glanced at the Fourth Master and saw that his expression did not look like he was angry, so he gained courage again, "Huang Ama, I don't think much about it either? The first thing is to listen to Huang Ama's words. Huang Ama said

Things must be done, but Jiangnan cannot be chaotic. Then the son will take care of things first. Whatever needs to be done, one is corrupt officials, and the other is money. The son thinks that money matters are more important than corrupt officials. But if corrupt officials are not killed, it is not enough.

Warning people's hearts is not enough to quell people's resentment. There is also a saying, it is called the three fires of a new official when he takes office. This is true even for officials, let alone the emperor. This is your first fire since you came to the throne.

It has to be lit no matter what. So, even if this corrupt official doesn’t have money, he still has to do what needs to be done.”

Fourth Master nodded, most people would not dare to say such things. What is the first thing a new official does when he takes office? To put it bluntly, isn't it to establish prestige? This prestige must be established no matter what, so there is a certain political risk in rectifying a large number of corrupt officials.

, but he still did it. He also said that he focused on money. Why he wanted money? It was because of the needs of the war. In his heart, there was a standard for weighing the importance of internal troubles and external conflicts.

When worries coexist, put aside internal worries and resolve external worries first.

He was speechless and signaled Hong Zhou to continue speaking.

"Second, you still have to listen to Huang Ama. Huang Ama said that Jiangnan cannot be chaotic, so Jiangnan must not be chaotic. If all the officials in Jiangsu are raped and brought back, the result will be - the officials in Jiangnan

The people in Jiangnan were in danger, and the people in Jiangnan were in panic. Therefore, the son released the people, not to let them go, but to postpone the discussion. These people had bad personal ethics, but they had no obvious fault in major matters, so

, my son feels that it is wise to pause a step and give the court some time."
