Chapter 200 The Change of Liaodong

() looked back and smiled four times, Wang Chengen said with a solemn face: "Is the capital ready?"

"Back to father-in-law, get ready. I have already dispatched people to various places, all of them are led by our East Factory's people, and Yang Daru's people are also leading soldiers to follow. It is agreed that as long as it is bright, we will all do it. "Xiao Sixiao smiled calmly, and said with confidence.

Slowly nodding his head, Wang Chengen said in a deep voice, "How is the governor of Jiliao, Liu Che?"

"Back to Eunuch, Governor Ji Liao is too involved. I have already followed Eunuch's order and sent a letter to the capital. I believe the Governor will handle it."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Wang Chengen didn't speak, watching the sun rising slowly, Wang Chengen waved his hand behind him, and immediately groups of soldiers rushed towards the mansion not far away!

This day was the fourteenth day of March in the first year of Yaoqi. In the history of later generations, this day was called the beginning of the Liaodong Change, and the Liaodong Change was the beginning of the reform of the entire Yaoqi Dynasty and the beginning of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. , known as the historical curtain that was pulled up.

During this day, the entire Liaodong was in chaos, and countless officials were ransacked and arrested.Many people were arrested before they knew what happened.From the magistrate to the low-ranking officials, countless officials in Liaodong officialdom were arrested.According to later statistics, during this change in Liaodong, the arrested officials were equivalent to half of all officials in Liaodong, and the entire administrative system of Liaodong seemed to be disintegrated.

Also on this day, there was a big earthquake in Shenyang City, and the mansion of Yang Yuan, the former governor of Liaodong, was confiscated.Among the [-] garrisons in Shenyang City, many generals were arrested, ranging from generals to soldiers, and several conflicts even occurred.Because Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, was in the town, and He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, suppressed it, so nothing major happened.

After that, the new governor of Liaodong, Yang Lian, who had not attracted attention before, stepped forward.Clean up the administration of officials, reduce incompetent officials, and use talented people in an exceptional way.Many low-ranking officials without fame, or even down-and-out candidates, have all been promoted as long as they have talent and integrity.The most widely circulated one is that a clerk who was originally excluded in the county government was dismissed and sent to prison because he was not flattering and upright.Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong, knew about this person, and personally assessed him, and found that this person had his own views on people's livelihood and government.He has lived in the local area for many years and knows the sufferings of the people well, so he was promoted to county magistrate the same day.

Originally such a thing should not have happened, but after Emperor Yaoqi knew about it, instead of blaming Yang Lian, he rewarded Yang Lian instead.There was a sudden shock, and countless aspiring scholars, regardless of whether they had fame or not, all flocked to Liaodong.

After stabilizing the situation in Shenyang City, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, began to reorganize the army.Starting from Shenyang City, [-] of the [-] garrisons in Shenyang City were laid off by Marshal Sun.After that, Marshal Sun started his inspection tour of the Liaodong frontier defense, inspecting generals in each place, investigating corruption, and cleaning up military discipline.

From this day onwards, Liaodong officials were governed by Qingming, and military discipline was strict. For a time, the people rejoiced and flourished.

There are Yang Lian and Sun Chengzong in the matter here in Liaodong, and there is no big mistake. Moreover, the two have entered into the purge of military discipline and clarification of the administration of officials.The later Emperor Yaoqi reformed Liaodong and made pilot reforms across the country, laying a solid foundation.

Although Liaodong was a bit chaotic, with Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian sitting in the town, nothing went wrong, but on March [-]th, an imperial decree issued by the Emperor Yaoqi blinded all the ministers.

Looking at Wei Chao kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yaoqi gently placed the secret letter on the Longshu table, and frowned slightly.After pondering for a while, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "Wei Dynasty, although I trust you, you also know the status of the Governor of Jiliao, who is in charge of the military affairs of the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong, and Baoding, and controls Shunyao and Baoding. , Governor of Liaodong. In this court, he can be described as a first-class feudal official in the frontier. He can stand out from the right with no entry. He has a high status and great power. I think you know. If there is no real evidence for this incident." Said here Emperor Yaoqi looked at Wei Chao with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice: "Wei Chao, you are different from those censors, do you know what will happen to you?"

"Your Majesty, the factory minister entered the palace at the age of 12. He started as a small handyman, and now he is the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the admiral of the East Factory. These years, the palace is the factory minister's home, and the emperor is the minister's." Master, both the late emperor and His Majesty have a lot of trust in the minister. Liu Che, governor of Jiliao, the minister has verified this matter. Even if the case is reversed in the future, the minister will have no complaints or regrets! If you can be loyal to your majesty, the factory I have no regrets in my death!" Wei Chao said with his head on the ground, his voice was quite low, but his tone was quite decisive.

Staring closely at Wei Chao, Emperor Yaoqi sighed deeply. At this time, Emperor Yaoqi finally understood why so many emperors could trust the eunuchs around him.Sometimes I believe even to the point of blind faith. For an emperor who claims to be a loner, these eunuchs are the closest people around him.

After staring at Wei Chao for a long time, Emperor Yaoqi said slowly: "Wei Chao, I have written down your thoughts, and sent a decree to confiscate the home of Liu Che, governor of Jiliao, and send him to prison. "

"Your Majesty, do you need to find someone to check? If there is a mistake in the investigation over there, wouldn't it damage your Majesty's reputation?" Wei Chao also seemed to be a little worried, and said hesitantly.

Emperor Yaoqi stood up slowly, walked slowly to Wei Chao's side, and gently helped him up.Patting Wei Chao on the shoulder, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Wei Chao with a smile, and said in a soft voice: "This time in Liaodong, the governor of Liaodong, Yang Yuan, was found by Jin Yiwei, and only some prefects and county magistrates were found by Dongchang. What. But I believe that the governor of Jiliao is definitely not wronged, and you will be able to find evidence, right?"

After being slightly stunned for a moment, Wei Chao immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Liu Che, governor of Jiliao, is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, committing a heinous crime. The factory official believes that as long as his home is raided, he will definitely be able to get evidence!"

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Let the supervisor of ceremonies draw up the decree, and you will go there in person this time! Let Sun Chuanting send some people, and nothing will go wrong!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the factory minister will do it right away!" After saluting Emperor Yaoqi, Wei Chao turned around and strode away with a strong sense of fear on his body.This dormant old eunuch seems to have found his life goal at this moment.

Emperor Yaoqi's imperial decree had just been spread out, causing an uproar in the capital, and the entire capital's officialdom was shaken.The case of rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng was still being discussed just now, but now all the targets are aimed at Governor Liu Che of Jiliao.

After getting the news, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Xing, couldn't sit still for the first time, and immediately sent for his first counselor, Wang Wenyan.

After the two guests and hosts were seated, ** Xing was not polite, and said anxiously to Wang Wenyan: "Wang Wenyan! How did this happen? How did things become like this?"

Clasping fists at the ** star, Wang Wenyan said in a deep voice: "Da Ru, don't be too anxious, let's analyze this matter slowly."

"Okay, tell me! The old man is all ears!" Seemingly feeling that he had lost his composure, ** Xing sank, and then asked with a serious face.

"Daru, now we know too little news, it's hard to analyze anything. Since the capital was under martial law, although we knew that something would happen, no one expected it to happen. The emperor is in seclusion, and he decreed that Ji Liao governor Liu Che ransacked the house, is there any connection here?" Wang Wenyan said slowly after bowing his head and thinking for a long time.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, ** Xing said helplessly: "It's the old man who is embarrassing classical Chinese. I don't have any news. What can I guess!"

"Daru, I think it's definitely not an easy matter this time. The one who won is Liu Che, governor of Jiliao. This is our leader. It is second only to Daru, and the same level as Ye Xianggao, the former cabinet chief assistant scholar. Come on, what happened this time is probably aimed at us!" Wang Wenyan shook his head quite seriously, and said solemnly.

Slowly nodded, ** Xing said in a deep voice: "Because of Wen Yan's strategy last time, we underestimated the enemy, and it seems that someone has unknowingly defeated us!"

"Da Ru, the most urgent thing now is to know why Liu Che, the governor of Jiliao, was arrested. This is very important! If you know this, maybe you can find out something!" Wang Wenyan frowned slightly. Brows, the voice is quite serious.

While the two people were talking, a person suddenly ran in from outside, came to ** Xing's side panting, and said eagerly: "Master, I have found out about the matter, and now it is spreading in the capital. Ji Liao governor Liu Che colluded with slaves, smuggled and collaborated with the enemy, embezzled military pay, and the emperor ordered him to be punished!"

Sitting on the chair in a daze, ** Xing seemed to be in a daze, and after a long time he said slowly: "Gao! It's really high! While we are focusing on Zhang Juzheng's affairs, let Liu Che Check it out, it looks like we lost again this time!"

Shaking his head and smiling wryly, Wang Wenyan said helplessly, "It's my fault, Daru. I underestimated our opponent, but I don't know whose handwriting it is? Is it Sun Chengzong?"

"Wen Yan, you are wrong! It's not that we underestimated our opponent, it's that we always thought he had nothing to do! We didn't pay attention to him from the very beginning. After such a long time, we kept a low profile and bide our time, and every move was thunderous .Although we are serving the country and the people, we are endless! Those of us have shortcomings, and if we are caught, we can only wait for death!" Smiling dejectedly, ** Xing Said expressionlessly.
