Chapter thirty-ninth
He has rotten eyelids and is an alcoholic.
Normal people cannot understand the world of alcoholics, only real alcoholics can understand it.
"The world is big in the pot, and the sun is long in the cup." He does not have this elegant wine country. He just drinks for the sake of drinking, and drinks for the sake of solving alcohol addiction.
Drinking all year round has caused him to tremble in his thugs, but it is strange. As long as he drinks a sip of wine, his hands will no longer tremble and his body will no longer tremble.
For this sip of wine, he drinks it in the morning, at noon, and at night, and whenever he has time.
Drinking can make him happy, and at the same time, it also makes his family's house full of barely walls. The salary was gone, his wife ran away, and he made all the valuable things in the house. He could only keep a ancestral home and was not sold by him. If someone hadn't given him fifty taels of silver, he would have to sell this ancestral home when he had no money to buy wine one day.
Giving fifty taels of silver is just to give convenience to the prisoner. How can such a good thing be done without a bad eyelid? It is impossible to tell people like him to distinguish the importance of "giving the criminal to do convenience is tantamount to bringing the disaster of killing himself". In fact, even if he can understand this principle, he will not leave fifty taels of silver without taking it.
The appeal of wine to him was much more than the threat this incident had brought to him.
If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, no matter how great the disaster will come tomorrow - this is the kind of person with rotten eyelids.
He was lucky. The person who was waiting for his life was taken away by the Jinyiwei halfway through the way.
The Jinyiwei doesn't want his life, he just needs his confession.
Even if Bi Kexing's suicide case was solved, the Jinyiwei's method and follow the clues, Zhou Zhongxing, Hong Zulie, Li Yongmao, and Sun Guonan were all taken out.
The case was solved, but Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi had different opinions on how to close the case.
Lu Daqi believed that it would be best if his arm was folded in his sleeve. The case should be until Bi Kexing. Sun Guonan and Li Yongmao dealt with it secretly. Doing so would preserve the face of the court. In particular, Sun Guonan and Li Yongmao once made contributions to the country and were trusted ministers of the emperor. If they were killed according to the law, they would also hurt the emperor's wisdom to recognize people.
Huang Zongxi did not think so. He believed that merit was merit and fault was wrong. The crimes they committed should be executed according to the law and were enough to kill ten times. They should not be exempted because of their achievements, as this would damage the fairness of the court. Moreover, the implementation of the new policy and the rectification of corruption in the administration of officials requires such a case to open up a gap and give the court a sigh of justice.
The two of them had their own opinions, and in the end they had no choice but to submit the case and their opinions.
The memorials were discussed in the cabinet first, and the opinions of the Grand Secretary were clearly divided. Wu Bing and Chen Zizhuang supported Huang Zongxi, Qu Shixi, Chen Bangyan and Yang Qiaoran supported Lu Daqi.
The opinions cannot be unified, but Wu Bing summed up the two views and reported them to the emperor for ruling together with the case.
Zhu Youlang suppressed the memorial for two days because he was a little hesitant.
He hated corruption from the bottom of his heart.
Because in essence he is not a real emperor, and there is a commoner's heart hidden in the shell of an emperor.
As a former civilian, he could better understand the hatred of ordinary people for corrupt officials, because the existence of these privileged classes has created a lot of social injustice.
The officials are so popular and delicious, but the people are busy day and night for a full meal; the officials' words can even solve things without saying anything, but the people have no choice but to sigh to the sky; the officials can surpass the law, but the people are heavily exploited by the government and bullied by the constables and yamen runners; it is difficult for poor people to marry a wife, but not only do they have three wives and four concubines, but they also occupy many rare resources for beauty.
What makes people most angry is that these corrupt officials often show off. Just laugh secretly, what are you showing off? Isn’t it showing off your sense of superiority? Isn’t this even more a blow to the people’s deep unfair heart?
He became an emperor in this life, but he had not received the education of the emperor's skills. When making decisions, he often did not think about the emperor, but still had common people's thinking. Sometimes he played with his character, which was also due to his personality.
The reason why he suppressed him for two days was because of Li Yongmao.
When Zhu Youlang was dismissed from Li Yongmao's position, he did not want to kill him with one stick. After all, this man was a loyal minister in history. He was just extremely conservative in his thoughts and could not keep up with his own rhythm. Zhu Youlang wanted to let him go, but when he regretted, he had to use him again.
Therefore, he was ordered not to leave Guangzhou and reflect on himself at home.
So I kept sending it to him for the diary.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not understand the purpose of implementing the new policy or his painstaking efforts, he actually joined Sun Guonan, opening a door of convenience for him and killing Bi Kexing.
This incident shows that Li Yongmao has a sinister and vicious personality factor in his bones, and this personality is especially disliked by Zhu Youlang. Of course, he also has the shortcomings of being short-sighted and not knowing what to do or what not to do.
There is no doubt that in order to promote the new policy, to rectify the administration of officials, to maintain the legal system, to blow a fresh air to the court based on corruption, and to create a vibrant era, it is beneficial to start a killing. Especially this is the first case of greed and abuse of power.
Killing Li Yongmao and Sun Guonan, I believe that the government and the country will vibrate. I believe that for a period of time, everyone will see their attitude and the atmosphere will definitely be renewed.
However, Li Yongmao is a famous loyal minister in history. Can loyal ministers do such things? How do you understand this?
Besides, can loyal ministers be killed?
Another reason that made him hesitate was the attitudes of Qu Shisi, Lu Daqi, Chen Bangyan and Yang Qiaoran.
Undoubtedly, these three people were all brought by Laochen Long and were brought by himself in Zhaoqing. The difference between them and Wu Bing, Chen Zizhuang and Huang Zongxi was that they had a natural sense of superiority. As for the Zhaoqing Gang, they supported his emperor, and they all made great contributions at the beginning. Even if there was a short time, the emperor would forgive him for his love.
Therefore, they will consciously or unconsciously maintain this sense of superiority and will maintain people in this small circle.
what to do?
What if I were to tell Li Yongmao a little bit? I would really be unable to kill him. What's more, there are also the faces of Qu Shisi, Chen Bangyan, Lu Daqi and Yang Qiaoran.
Zhu Youlang thought for two days, but finally he made up his mind: "Since he became the emperor, he should be responsible for the world and cannot ruin national affairs because of personal affection. If he killed a Li Yongmao, he could win the Qingming Festival of the administration, which would be considered as Li Yongmao's contribution to the court."
