Chapter 43
Chongzhen’s second imperial decree directly allocated 2 taels of silver to the nearly 40 men and horses remaining in the Beijing camp with a swipe of a pen. Except for the 20 taels, all were distributed to those hard-working soldiers, and all the rest were used to replenish weapons for the Beijing camp. , firearms, military uniforms, grain and grass.

The decree also mentioned that the Beijing camp will be expanded in the near future. When the Beijing camp is full, there will be 16 soldiers in the [-] battalion, the fifth military battalion, and the Shenji battalion. Bloody.

But after all, it is still too little. Now that the court has money, everything will be easy to handle.

20 taels of silver is a huge sum of money for the remaining [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp. The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who heard the news cheered thunderously and shouted long live. Yelling at home to buy this and that for the child.

And the six thousand Jinyiwei contributed a lot this time, and proved the ability of Jinyiwei with practical actions. Chongzhen also allocated 20 taels of silver without hesitation.

Jingying and Jinyiwei are currently the most important forces in Chongzhen. One is responsible for guarding the capital, the other is responsible for inspecting officials, one is for the butcher's knife outside, and the other is for eyes and ears inside.

Half of the chief officials of the six ministries were arrested. In order to comfort the frightened officials, Chongzhen's third imperial decree promoted all the existing officials of each ministry to a higher level.

In this arrest, the main officials of the Ministry of Officials, Shangshu and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were annihilated. Chongzhen discussed with the Ministry of Officials for a long time, but only tentatively appointed two ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and the candidates for the Minister of the Ministry of Rites have always been pending.

Finally Liu Hongjian mentioned Li Banghua's name, and Chongzhen and Zheng Sanjun fell silent.

Li Banghua is indeed a rare talent, especially in rectifying the military administration. It is said that as early as the Tianqi period, he had temporarily emerged. The Beijing camp has always had the disadvantages of occupation and false reporting.

Occupation means that soldiers serve corvee for the generals. There are 500 such soldiers in a thousand households, and there are also disadvantages of being idle and doing sex.

Pretense means that there is no such person in the army, but in order to receive this generous salary, the generals pretended to be strong men in the Beijing camp with their own servants.

Li Banghua was ordered by the apocalypse to rectify the Beijing camp, and personally tested the soldiers of each battalion. Those who were not young and strong were not hired. It only took one month to get all the vacancy, occupation, and idleness.

Of course, it only took him a month to offend the officials in Beijing all over the place. In the Beijing camp where corruption is serious, who doesn't have an empty quota?

In Liu Hongjian's words, this Li Banghua is a copy of Hai Rui. Does Hai Rui know that as a fifth-rank official, as long as you let him know that you are corrupt and do not abide by the law, no matter what kind of minister or duke you are? , Even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu did the same thing!
Ever since, with an order, Li Banghua, the Minister of the Ministry of War who had only been in office for more than a month, was collectively sued by the ministers and sent to Nanjing to retire.

Undoubtedly, this is a person who makes people love and hate, and headaches.

But Liu Hongjian didn't think so. Regardless of other people's eyes, he strongly recommended Li Banghua to sit on the position of Minister of War, and promoted Jiang Dejing from the former Ministry of Industry to Minister of Rites.

In Liu Hongjian's mind, the work done by the Ministry of Rites seems to be of no use in this troubled world, unless there is the kind of bully who scolded Wang Lang to death before the battle, what is most important now, guns and money.

In this way, Hai Rui's second Li Banghua took the position of Minister of War.

And Chongzhen did not treat Liu Hongjian badly, not only made up the previous debts at once, but also rewarded Liu Hongjian with an extra 3 taels, which greatly benefited Liu Hongjian, thinking that the emperor had finally opened his eyes.

Next, Chongzhen ignored the objections of the ministers and appointed Liu Hongjian as a bachelor of Wuyingdian.
Although the Grand Scholars are only fifth-rank officials, they are above the Six Departments. It is a relatively unique institution in the Ariming Dynasty, similar to the Military Aircraft Department established by the wild boar skin later.

However, general bachelors are held by officials from the six ministries, who are responsible for solving various difficult and miscellaneous diseases for the emperor. They are senior advisers to the emperor.

For a young boy who just turned 20 years old, how can He De join the cabinet and become a bachelor of the Hall of Martial Arts?
What's more, the cabinet members were also dismissed by Chongzhen. Now it is obvious that the cabinet needs to be reorganized, and the first person promoted by Chongzhen was a young man outside the Sixth Ministry, and then there was no voice?How can this not make the officials startled.

Of course, the censors who heard the news would not let go of the opportunity to complain about the emperor. All the tainted censors were wiped out by the emperor, and the remaining poor and white censors were even more confident. Official uniform, what are you afraid of?

And the enlightened Emperor Chongzhen was not ambiguous at all, still stubborn as always, and finally even pulled a few censors out to eat the court stick, which made the censor shut up happily.

It is a very honorable thing to accept the imperial staff after death remonstrance, which means that you are loyal to the imperial court and dare to say no to the emperor. When you meet people in the future, you will be able to brag about how upright and selfless you are.

But Liu Hongjian, the protagonist of the incident, was noncommittal about this matter. Anyway, as long as he is not allowed to go to the sixth department to do real work, you can fix those nice-sounding false jobs as you like.

But here lies the problem, because Chongzhen only mentioned Liu Hongjian to join the cabinet alone, and did not make supplements to other cabinet members, which is very intriguing.

Although most of those who can stay in the court are those with clean buttocks, but in the Ming Dynasty, being able to join the cabinet as a courtier was the greatest ideal of an official's life.

The emperor believed in Liu Hongjian so much, and he only mentioned his entry into the cabinet, which shows his position in Chongzhen's heart. Did he condescend to give this court upstart something, just...?
So, for the next two days, Liu Hongjian, who originally wanted to rest at home and accompany his little wife, would be visited by a goatee grandfather carrying all kinds of small boxes and boxes every day.

Most of these old grandpas were not very flattering, and those small boxes and boxes were full of pastries, and what's more, they directly packed a few steamed buns and gave them to Liu Hongjian, claiming that they were passed down from their ancestors.

In the beginning, Liu Hongjian listened patiently to them telling about his glorious deeds of being loyal to the country for many years.

Later, Liu Hongjian was really annoyed, and he was embarrassed to hurt the "sincerity" of these old grandpas, so he directly asked Niu Zhuang to guard the door with a mace.

The visitor said, my lord has a stomachache recently and can't see guests, what?Did you bring medicine?Oh, that doesn't work either, our lord said it, it's a three-point drug, so I can't see you anyway!

Reasoning with the five big and three thick bull sticks?Then let you experience what it means for a scholar to meet a soldier.
Sun Xiuxiu was able to get out of bed these days, Liu Hongjian put aside the court affairs and concentrated on walking around with Sun Xiuxiu at home. Liu's new house had a large yard, and there were not many people in his family.

Sun Xiuxiu whispered to Liu Hongjian that when she recovered from her injury, she wanted to open up an open space in the backyard to grow some flowers and vegetables by herself.

As a countess and a loyal minister, it would be unseemly to do such rough work. After speaking, she glanced at Liu Hongjian, her eyes full of sincerity. Liu Hongjian usually works for the court, and it is really difficult for her to be alone at home. so boring.

Liu Hongjian embraced Sun Xiuxiu in his arms, and kissed his little wife's small nose. Of course, Liu Hongjian could not refuse such a small request.

Don't talk about a small garden, just plant the whole yard with flowers and plants. As long as the little wife is happy, he can tear down the house, but he is afraid of tiring her. With a husband like this, Sun Xiuxiu thinks that she must be married in her previous life. Good fate.

Otherwise, how could God treat her so favorably and give her such a husband who is almost pampered.

The happy time is always short, and it is April [-] in a blink of an eye.
