Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, rectifying the administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty was a long process, and the administration of officials should not be rushed, but could be effectively resolved.

Officials protect each other.

Use power for personal gain.

Fraud for personal gain.

So don't think about uprooting them all at once. This is unrealistic and impossible.

"Unification of science and roads, inspection system, these must gradually develop."

Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Chongzhen recalled what he had said to Han Jisi, squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Don't think about being greedy, as for the current Daming, after all, you can't eat too much.

If it fails in three years, it will be five years.

If it fails in five years, it will be ten years.

As long as we aim at this goal and continuously expand the base of actual control, I firmly believe that when the right opportunity comes, the Ming government will definitely be able to completely reform! "

At the beginning, there were Jiankui from outside who invaded the pass, and the court was chaotic inside. In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen frequently ended up in person, playing games with civil servants again and again.

In a sense, this is not a wise choice.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice.

If everything followed the old path, the situation he faced would be even more chaotic. Even if he had the advantage of foresight, he would not be able to turn the tide.

Thinking about it now, in the original timeline, in the third year of Chongzhen, the rogue forces that ravaged Shaanxi broke through many barriers and ran to Shanxi, which was caused by the invasion of Guanzhong in the second year of Chongzhen.

A large number of frontier troops rescued by King Qin, especially soldiers from Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and other places, were pulled to Beizhili, but they couldn't even solve the food and wages, so how could they not be stabbed and collapsed?

And it was precisely under such circumstances that the bandit forces that ravaged Shanshan and Shanxi continued to absorb this group of frontier soldiers, and gradually reached the point where they could not be controlled.

So much so that they finally broke through the two places of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and began to flee under the rule of Ming Dynasty, and finally formed a situation that was out of control.

"My lord, Fang Zhenghua is presenting the secret performance."

Wang Dehua hurried into the East Nuan Pavilion, holding a memorial, bowing to each other.

"Bring it up."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since Fang Zhenghua and Luo Yangxing led the team to Shandong to escort the food and pay for disaster relief, but they have not led the team back for a long time.

Now that Fang Zhenghua is presenting the secret performance, it seems that something has happened.

With this kind of emotion, Emperor Chongzhen flipped through the secret records, but his expression became ugly when he looked at it. Wang Chengen, who was on the side, saw this, and his heart became tense.

Something went wrong.

"There's no such thing, it's really such a reason!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hide his anger, he slapped the imperial case angrily, and said sharply: "This group of suzerains and vassals are extremely hateful, how dare they take advantage of the place to create disasters and do such things!

What a good ethnicity of Huang Ming!
Everyone is afraid of Daming, the chaos is not too bad.

OK, that's great.

If I don't punish you this time, then this Daming Emperor will be wronged! ! "

When Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua heard the words, they knelt down on the ground one after another.

They didn't know what it was that made their emperor so angry, but their intuition told them that the matter must not be simple.

Things are indeed not simple.

Taking advantage of the disaster in Shandong, the vassals headed by the lineage of King Lu wantonly raised food prices, forced good people into prostitution, and annexed land, regardless of the current situation.

It was not Fang Zhenghua, Luo Yangxing and the others who rushed to Shandong to escort the relief food and salaries in time, fearing that civil unrest would break out in the disaster-stricken areas.

Even part of the Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangjin was seconded by Yuan Keli when they went to investigate the remnants of Bailian, otherwise the situation in Shandong would be even more serious.

"Wang Banban, pass on my oral order to order the eunuchs of the Rites Supervisor and Yuma Supervisor to come here immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Slave order!"

Wang Chengen bowed in response.

The problem of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty must be resolved. Even though the branches of the vassals in Jiangnan and Southwest, which are far away, cannot be effectively contained, the branches of the vassals in the northern provinces must be severely beaten.

Although some of the Huangming ethnic groups in the sect and vassal branches, and even the lower-level clans, are relatively good, most of the ethnic groups have become moths that gnaw on the Ming Dynasty.

In their respective vassal territories, they used their power to bully others, oppress the people, and oppress the people, especially the Chief Secretary of Henan, and the branches of the vassal vassals such as Fufan and Chongfan under his rule, all doing so in private.

And under the rule of the adjacent Huguang, Xiang Fan, Chu Fan, Hui Fan and other suzerain branches, not to mention one by one!

These family wealth accumulated over many generations are richer than the national treasury, but they cry poorly, even if the court encounters great difficulties, they are unwilling to donate generously.

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards these moth-like suzerain and vassal branches was resolute, and they must all be defeated.

But how to fight, how to fight, is a science.

Outside the suppressed Qianqing Palace, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps, and the group of eunuchs, the Supervisor of Rituals and the Supervisor of Horses, hurried over.

"Slaves, wait, pay respects to the emperor."

Seeing the dozens of eunuchs kneeling on the ground, Emperor Chongzhen looked cold. Now is the time to release these eunuchs from the inner court and leave the capital to do some business.

"Nowadays, the imperial society is in dire straits, and the imperial court encounters many malpractices. I want to call the vassals of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong to come to Beijing to meet your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "I want to discuss state affairs with the Huangming ethnic groups in the four northern provinces, and all princes, county princes, nobles, and vassals who rule under me must enter Beijing under the imperial edict.

Except for Wang Banban, the rest of the people all left the capital and conveyed my oral order. I will dispatch a group of soldiers from the Zhongyong Army, the Shenshu Camp, and the Fifth Army Battalion to accompany you and others to leave Beijing.

I only give you two months, you must invite all the above-mentioned Huangming ethnic groups to the capital, and if you delay my discussion of state affairs with the feudal vassals, you will not be pardoned immediately! "

"Slaves wait for orders!"

Wang Dehua, Gao Qiqian and other eunuchs bowed immediately when they heard the words.

"Wang Banban, you are in charge of this matter."

Ignoring the group of eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said, "The two-month deadline is the final deadline, but the distance between different places and the capital city is different.

How to define this deadline is up to you to decide.

In the shortest possible time, bring the feudal vassals back to the capital, and after this is done, prepare a memorial and submit it. "

"The servants lead the order."

Wang Chengen made a bow.

Except for a few eunuchs such as Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, whom Emperor Chongzhen absolutely trusted, Emperor Chongzhen did not trust those eunuchs who wanted to stay in the capital.

Because once they are out of my sight, they are vicious wolves, but they are still useful at present, so they all perform their duties.

People like the useless Pang Tianshou have died quietly.

In particular, Pang Tianshou dared to believe in Western sects. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this was a variable. With such uncertain factors, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was very clear, that is, death.
