Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 527
"What do I do and what don't I do, how can I let those ministers in the outer court figure out what I really think?"

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, pointed at the pile of memorabilia in front of him, and said with a sneer: "There is nothing new about it, it's just the original three axes.

Violating the ancestral system, shaking the foundation of the country, and unsettling the hearts of the people.

These are what they can represent?The rectification of officials in the court involves their interests, and it starts to implicate them. If they can't sit still, can they generalize?
It's a big joke.

All these impeachment regulations and admonitions will be left unpublished. I want to see how Zhou Yanru and Han Jisi deal with this trend. "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed in response.

Emperor Chongzhen never expressed his position on the turmoil in the administration of officials caused by the outer dynasty, but he had a very clear understanding of the situation of the various factions in the court.

Most of Ming's civil servants have the blood of struggle and party struggle, which cannot be eradicated. Disputes over regions and political opinions are very common.

Since party struggles cannot be completely eradicated, let party struggles become catalysts to restrain each other and not affect their many plans.

"Your Majesty, there is not much silver stored in the internal treasury at the moment." Wang Chengen thought for a while, bowed his head and said: "It may take some time to transport the silver from the various vassals in the north to the capital. Now Zongxue has started, and many heirs of the vassals are studying Zongxue at Xishan."

"Well, I see."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "The Supervisor of Rituals and the Li Fan Yuan are urging the vassals who are stranded in the capital to raise money to go to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise they will not even think about returning to the feudal land.

On Cao Huayu's side, how are the errands of the Jinyiwei hidden piles that were screened out?From now on, every move of the various vassals in the Northland will be summarized and submitted to the imperial court. "

"All of them have been selected, and some of them are orphans, so they are very reliable."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed and said: "Cao Tongzhi is now making arrangements to send these hidden Jinyi guards to various palaces in the North in batches."

Exploiting those vassals in the Northland was just the beginning. Sending their heirs to Beijing, secretly investigating the hidden piles of Jinyiwei, and monitoring the affairs of the vassals was a series of combined punches.

The purpose is to strengthen the prestige of Zongxue, prepare for the subsequent transfer of vassals, restrict the illegal activities of vassals, reduce the pressure of land annexation, cultivate Jinyiwei by the way, and build a complete promotion channel.

This series of combined punches, if they can be played well, can play a good positive role no matter whether it is in the court or in the local area.

"Tell Cao Huayu to keep doing it."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious expression: "The Jinyiwei's supervisory agency must be established as soon as possible, and the secret guard organization led by Li Ruolian must also speed up the preparation process.

Taking advantage of the uncertain situation in Eastern Liaodong, he placed a lot of hidden stakes on Jianlu's side. He didn't want to spy on Jianlu's internal military affairs, but he had to infiltrate them.

Only with the first step can there be the second step.

In addition, the Mongolian and Tartar tribes adjacent to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty must pass through the gates in an orderly manner and infiltrate outward as soon as possible. I need to know more about the external situation. "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen bowed hurriedly.

Before he knew it, Emperor Chongzhen had more energy to build internal and external secret organizations. Once these organizations could develop, Emperor Chongzhen would have many active advantages.

After all, the passivity encountered in the early stage, after more than a year of precipitation, was initially resolved by Emperor Chongzhen, which made him rule the Ming Dynasty with ease.

"My lord, the cabinet is warm and benevolent, please see me."

After Wang Chengen left the Qianqing Palace to implement the orders of the emperor, the eunuchs who were waiting outside the palace walked into the East Nuan Pavilion and bowed respectfully to report to the Ming Dynasty.

"Xuan."

Wen Tiren went to the palace to have an audience at this time, which made Emperor Chongzhen think about it. This is because of the influence of Zhou Yanru, and he couldn't sit still anymore?
The Independent Commission Against Corruption under his leadership has not had any bright spots since its establishment until now.

This made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little dissatisfied.

"Wen Qing, come to see me in the palace, what's the matter?" Seeing Wen Tiren entering the palace, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said casually: "You also asked me for mercy for the affairs of the court?"

"Report to Your Majesty."

Wen Tiren hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister came here for the sake of clean government. The secret investigation by the minister began from the fourth year of Tianqi to the third year of Chongzhen. Affected by the disasters in various places, there were divisions in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. There is serious corruption.

A lot of food and salaries allocated from the national treasury are often manipulated by some people before they leave Beijing, so that after they are transferred to other places, the food and salaries for disaster relief are constantly being exploited..."

Wen Tiren, you are really perceptive.

Taking advantage of Zhou Yanru's first wave, there was a big thunder explosion, this knife was ruthless and accurate!
Emperor Chongzhen showed a smile on his face, looking at Wen Tiren who talked eloquently, he was well aware of the embezzlement of food and salaries for disaster relief.

As a result, after the establishment of the Disaster Relief Office, some ministers from the Central Committee raised questions and objected from time to time, wanting to get rid of the ICAC.

After all, this cut off many people's money.

"Have you checked everything out?"

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind and said with a calm expression: "There will be no fabricated facts, right? On the ICAC side, will the truth of these facts investigated by the ICAC be questioned?"

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen would like to hear that Wen Tiren wanted to make up for it, but it would never be allowed to use the excuse of deep investigation of disaster relief and corruption to engage in the same party and attack dissidents.

Party disputes must be limited to appropriate areas.

Uncontrolled faction will only affect the order of the court.

"Your Majesty, please be clear. All the investigations by the ministers have conclusive evidence."

Wen Tiren hurriedly held a memorial, and said solemnly: "These are the facts ascertained by the minister. I also ask your majesty to order me to rectify the situation in the court."

"Leave the memorial."

Emperor Chongzhen calmly said: "The ICAC, you can start preparing for a public investigation. Wang Yongguang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will respectively allocate personnel to participate in the investigation of this case.

Wen Qing worked hard, let's take command in person.

What I have always hated the most is the corruption of officials. The officials are not governed clearly and the country is unstable. Since they dare to reach out for corruption, it is a violation of the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations.

Once conclusive evidence is found, he will be immediately arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Wen Tiren hurriedly bowed in response.

Zhou Yanru's affairs have not yet been determined, and Wen Tiren's side will follow up with the promotion of clean government. Emperor Chongzhen can predict that the outer court will become more and more interesting for a long time to come.

However, the vigilance in Emperor Chongzhen's heart will not be relaxed, and these turmoil cannot be allowed to affect the basic order of the court, otherwise some plans will not be easy to advance.
