Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

With the soldiers and horses in Bailang's hands, it is not a big problem to control the Sijiu city. The key is that after he entered the city, even the Zhejiang soldiers who were transferred back did not move around, and obediently obeyed the emperor's orders.Bailang can fight by himself, so there are very few soldiers and horses left to protect him.In fact, the Forbidden City was quite empty before. Bailang released a large number of court ladies in the past few years, and many palaces were directly sealed by him.

At least one-third of the palaces in the Forbidden City are closed and locked. On weekdays, there are occasional eunuchs who come to clean and count the furniture—as for other things, they are basically sent to the warehouse.

Few people went to the streets to rob, because they were all afraid of being caught by the soldiers and beheaded on the spot.On the second day when Bailang took down BJ City, there was no movement. On the third day, Jin Yiwei and the people from Dongchang gathered together a little bit, and then Bailang sent orders to all officials, civil and military, to go to court. "I want to see how many people come to court today." Bailang was quite interested.

When he entered the city the day before yesterday, he did not slash and kill. Not even fifty people died before and after, and most of them were eunuchs, grandfathers, eunuchs, fathers, and sons of eunuchs in the palace.Wanli leaned on the dragon chair, "This thing is a little uncomfortable to sit on, so I'll have someone change it next time—the main problem is the backrest. If this thing is really an Arhat couch, that's all."

Just as he was thinking about this and that, hundreds of officials arrived one after another, and many military officers came, headed by Qi Jiguang—this Marquis did not participate in this coup, he just sat and watched.Bailang is not interested in pursuing those who sit on the sidelines, his focus is on those who did this.Sure enough, the commander of Jin Yiwei turned pale and reported to him the situation that Bailang had already estimated.

"Nine out of ten suicides? These idiots shamelessly took a step ahead when I asked them to settle the score, just wanting to die so cheaply. Prepare to search the house one by one, according to the law to seek rebellion It's the three tribes of Zhu, I don't like to kill people, so this kind of thing can be avoided, just kill the males of his direct lineage, and those under ten years old can't be asked."

But it is certain that the house is stolen, not only the mansion in the capital, but also the old house of the hometown. Confiscating everything is their only end.At least one-third of the officials were involved in this coup d'état, and the leaders among them all quickly hung up the southeast branch yesterday not long after Bailang entered the city. Let your wife and children hang the southeast branch together.

Looking at the civil and military officials who came to court, Bailang just laughed, "Such a rebellion is really ridiculous. I thought it would be like the restoration of the Ying Temple, or the change of the Xuanwu Gate, but this is the result? King Lilu's next order? You really are extremely incompetent." Bailang looked at the things sent by Dongchang, and looked up at the officials below from time to time.

"Arrest people according to the list, carefully review, and don't use punishment. Check each other's confessions and dig." Bai Lang casually returned the list to the factory supervisor next to him and ordered, "Nothing happened today, all officials will retire."

The elders who participated in this matter have already terminated themselves, and their home is now being ransacked by Jin Yiwei. The nobles who intervened in this matter have unrealistic expectations about whether they committed suicide or not. Of course, there are things It has nothing to do with Duke Ying and Duke Cheng who are in charge of stability, it's just that Bailang is not going to make it easy for them.

"Elder Ying Chenggong, the two should also pay a sum of money for atonement. The family has 200 million taels, and all the land will be given. Today's matter is over, if not, the two dukes can get rid of the dukes." Bailang said It's an understatement, but the two princes really felt as if they were struck by lightning. The emperor above has shown the ferocity of his old Zhu family, which is probably not as good as Taizu and Chengzu.

This emperor is extremely murderous, but his benevolence is worse than those two - up to now, the murder has not implicated the nine clans, and even the direct males under the age of ten are not going to kill, but this confiscated family has money. His temperament is much stronger than those two, and he has to pay taxes as a whole. He is really not as good as those two who give respect to nobles and literati, and belong to the extremely mean generation.

Of course, this is the opinion of the civil servants and nobles. This emperor is shameless, vicious and mean, and shameless, which is much more difficult to deal with than his grandfather.Everyone present wanted to say, "Your Majesty, you can't be shameless." However, Bailang wanted money today to be shameless, so he took out something from behind the dragon chair and threw it down with a bang.

"Everyone has the money to discuss crimes, otherwise you will be caught with a stick, and your brains will come out when the time comes, so don't say that I didn't predict it." At the same time, Bailang Zhubi also hooked up the soldiers who violated military discipline and military laws in the past two days, and they were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Beheading at Waihe Xisi Pailou, there are more than [-] soldiers and gangsters involved in this one-off execution. Strictly Shen Jun disciplines his soldiers not to disturb the people again.

As long as the people are not moved, the officials in the capital will not cause much trouble. They copied one by one in order, and all the officials also received orders one by one. About half of them had to hand over the crime money, and the other half did not.Anyway, from this day on, Xisi Pailou is killing people every day.They killed people in batches for a whole month, and the blood seeped into the bottom of the stone slab and couldn't be washed away.

This scene was recorded by foreign envoys, especially North Korean envoys. These few words of today's Great Son of Heaven are extremely cruel, and these words were secretly recorded in the envoy's personal notes, and they did not dare to write clearly
Wanli became rich, and in this month, the treasury increased by more than 5000 million taels of silver, and some officials were promoted to the positions of six ministers. As for joining the cabinet?Bailang directly threw out the list of governors and envoys of the three sides, and asked the court to recommend them—of course, these six ministers were also urgently promoted from the capital officials, and after that, these ministers had to be promoted step by step from the people-friendly officials from all over the country. promoted.

The rule that non-Hanlin people are not allowed to join the cabinet was not the rule of Ming Dynasty in the first place, what Bailang did was to return it to the original one.However, he was going to give the cabinet enough ministerial power, and determined it by imperial decree. If the emperor took care of everything, he would not be able to take care of everything, not to mention that Bailang was not a workaholic in the first place.

One month is enough time for him to clean up the officials in the court, and the state affairs have not stopped. Firstly, there are too many officials. Secondly, under the traffic conditions, there are not so many government affairs that need to be dealt with urgently.What happened in Shandong and Hebei can be taken care of. In other places, when they arrive in the capital, the daylilies are cold.

Moreover, Bailang already knew that the ability of great people in future generations can only say "government orders do not leave the capital", and Bailang himself can do this well.In the final analysis, the speed of information transmission in this era makes the control of the central government gradually decline. At least Bailang thinks that officials in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are not so afraid that it is almost [-]% that he will fool the court.
