The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 296 clear rewards and punishments
Chongzhen slammed the memorabilia on the Longshu case and gasped, "Damn it, it doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and turns black and white!"

Wang Chengen, who had been serving carefully all this time, quickly waved his hand to make the two court ladies who were fanning behind the emperor retreat, picked up the fan and fanned the emperor lightly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please calm down, it's too hot, don't you Injured the dragon body."

Chongzhen said: "Jin Sheng played the report, in order to prevent the Shen family, who had been fornicating and building slaves, from fleeing, so they hurriedly marched to Laizhou to do something cheap.

The final result was good, and the culprits of the Shen family were caught.Are those officials blind?Why is there no distinction between primary and secondary?Don't know how to act in a hurry? "

Wang Chengen said: "I'm afraid these scholar-bureaucrats are worried that this will become a common practice, and there is no guarantee that someday someone will search their homes and arrest people without permission on the grounds of solid evidence."

Chongzhen asked: "Since the evidence is convincing, I will definitely order to ransack the house and arrest people. Why would they take the opportunity to make trouble?"

"Your Majesty, the request will be known to everyone, and the adults will have time to deal with it. It's like the Shen family in Laizhou who was suddenly taken over by others. No one can feel at ease."

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Wang Banban is right, for a Shen family, the highest official position is just a fifth-rank Fang Langzhong.

Jin Sheng and Huang Long suddenly confiscated them, 2 taels of silver and more than [-] shi of grain were handed over to the imperial court, there were thousands of fertile land, and more than a dozen mansions were handed over to Denglai to take over. Far more than that, at least [-]% of them were corrupted by Jin Sheng and Huang Long.

This is strange. Last year, I decreed to copy the family of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the crime, but in the end, only 5000 taels of silver and more than a thousand acres of land were handed over to the court. I don't know what to do? "

Wang Cheng'en echoed: "Your Majesty, the three judges of the court have been convicted for a long time. Firstly, the criminal officials transferred the property early, and secondly, they sold the property to clear up the relationship between the criminal officials. If we really wait until the order is issued to raid the house, of course there will be little gain."

"The confiscated money obtained by the imperial court was distributed by the scholar-bureaucrats, and no one said anything. After being enriched by military officials like Huang Long and Zhang Tao, so many officials jumped out to impeach. The two standards are clearly revealed."

"Exactly, His Majesty doesn't need to be angry about these things, it's not worth it."

"I know. General Huang Shen contributed a lot to the elimination of a big rebellion in Dongjiang Town this time. Shao Xishao went to inspect the troops of the 'Red Banner Army' a while ago, and found that they were already full. The money, food and yellow ginseng will not only not fill their own pockets, but also pay a lot of money."

Wang Chengen followed the emperor's voice and said: "General Huang is brave in doing things and full of wit. He not only rushes the arrests of witnesses and material evidence to the capital, but also takes the initiative to help Pidao without personally raising troops. The general arrived in time to fear that the destructive power of the rebellion would be doubled."

Chongzhen nodded and said: "I will not hesitate to reward civil and military personnel who take the initiative to share the worries of the court. Jin Sheng recommended by General Huang Shen is also a person who dares to do something. He did not hesitate to offend many scholars and bureaucrats and decisively attacked the Shen family."

"Your Majesty is so high in the sky, I am so admired by servants!"

The emperor wanted to understand why the scholar-bureaucrats calmed down after the turmoil, and he had a decision in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, the ministers talked a lot, because the scholar-bureaucrats felt a sense of crisis, and they could not tolerate being surrounded by the army and having their homes searched and arrested without getting a little bit of news.

Fortunately, Huang Han didn't stand on the cusp this time, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

However, the impeachment of Jin Sheng for corruption and perverting the law, and the impeachment of Huang Long and Zhang Tao for drinking blood and killing good deeds have been flying all over the sky.

The act of confiscating the Shen family was correct, and it has already been concluded, because there were some evidences that were sufficient to convict the Shen family, so there were no officials to entangle this matter. They all dug into the past mistakes of Jin Sheng, Huang Long, and Zhang Tao, The purpose is to stun them as a warning to others.

If we don't punish these early birds, and everyone will follow suit in the future, how can we scholar-bureaucrats live comfortably?

Chongzhen's head was quarreled by those officials who grabbed Huang Long and Zhang Tao's braids, and Huang Long was the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town. His subordinates were preparing to rebel and surrender to the enemy. Yu Mingjun died, how can he convince the public if he is not punished?
The forced and helpless emperor could only issue an imperial decree, and the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town stayed in his post to see the effect.

After dealing with Huang Long who made a mistake, the emperor personally asked the officials: "My dear friends, only by distinguishing rewards and punishments can we win the morale of the army. Mr. Huang's negligence caused a lot of losses to the court. General Yongping Huang Ginseng took the initiative to share the country's worries and contributed a lot. Qing also has to discuss how to award rewards."

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, Xu Guangqi was overjoyed. He came out of the class and said: "General Huang Han is an ancient genius. He has made great achievements many times. The court should reuse him. The veteran thinks that even being promoted to three ranks is not an exaggeration."

Zheng Guochang did not come to the early dynasty. He was actually a foreign official and a feudal official who managed the entire Beizhili.

The old father-in-law was not in the court, Liang Tingdong retired, and the golden voice was released. Elder Xu Ge proposed that the Holy Son of Heaven give Huang Han a three-level promotion, which became a one-man show.

It can be seen that Huang Han's unpopularity in the court can basically be stereotyped as a lone minister, and the emperors of all dynasties liked lone ministers, and Emperor Chongzhen liked it even more, and he became more determined to promote Huang Han.

Chongzhen said: "Master Xu thought that only by giving the yellow ginseng three consecutive promotions can he be commended for his merits, I..."

The emperor deliberately spoke slowly, as if he wanted to agree with Xu Guangqi's performance, the court immediately exploded, and a small number of civil servants immediately became unhappy, and they interrupted the emperor in time.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. General Huang Shen is only twenty years old, and he was just promoted in the first month. Now it has only been half a year, and it is so hasty to even be promoted to the third rank!"

Xu Guangqi smiled. He found out that the emperor had the intention of promoting Huang Han, and he also knew that Huang Han had offended too many scholar-bureaucrats, and there would be many people who opposed him. The purpose is to ask for prices and let those who oppose them bargain.

The emperor nodded and said: "My loves are right. It seems too much to be promoted to three levels in a row. How do you think it is reasonable to award rewards?"

Emperor Chongzhen played his mind well, first finalized the rewards, and then ensured that there should be no troubles at the first level.

Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant minister, did not express his opinion. Most of the people who came out to oppose him were members of the Donglin Party. It was obvious that the emperor was firm in his intention to promote Huang Han. He came out to support Xu Guangqi at this time, not only because he had made friends The "Red Banner Army" fought should also cater to the emperor's heart, so why not?
