Chapter 567 Shooting yourself in the foot

After the most urgent matters were arranged, Emperor Chongzhen finally dealt with the previous impeachment matter and quickly issued an imperial edict.

The assistant minister Cheng Ji was appointed as the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, but he did not realize the merits of the frontier civil servants and military officers, officials and soldiers. He took the lead in slandering and had a bad impact on the morale of the border areas. He was demoted to the position of magistrate of the naturalized prefecture and supervised by the naturalized governor, such as If he does bad deeds again, he will be punished severely!

There were also five censors and six doctors, two of whom were slanderers. The slander was serious and they were dismissed from their posts and sent to the naturalized army to engage in education. Only those students who have made meritorious deeds and are rewarded will be allowed to return to their hometown.

In addition, the Criminal Division assigned Wu Rong, who knew that he had violated the law and participated in the impeachment of a loyal minister and good general, to remove him from office and assign him to Pi Dao to engage in education, with a three-year repayment period.

The remaining officials who participated in the impeachment will be demoted one level and remain in their posts to perform meritorious service. If they commit any misdeeds within one year, they will be punished for several crimes and will be dealt with strictly without mercy.

In addition to those who were punished, the imperial edict also commended Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and other loyal ministers and generals. In addition to their respective awards, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were also asked to learn from them and regard them as role models to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Fear hardships and serve the country with loyalty.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, the world immediately turned their attention. More people's attention is focused on Guihua Prefecture, which was newly included in the territory of Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Guihuazhou. Even the assistant ministers of the cabinet were demoted to the local area, as well as the censor and officials. These are all Jinshis, and there are few places in the world where so many Jinshis are working!

Although no one was killed in this incident, the changes in the political situation were obvious. The position of chief minister has been further consolidated, with higher prestige and smoother government orders. Many people also noticed that the Criminal Division had replaced Shi Zhong with someone recommended by the chief assistant, which made them even more wary of the power of factory guards.

When people all over the world were discussing this incident, Emperor Chongzhen also secretly ordered his royal novel editing team to compile the Liaodong War and the Grassland War into a novel narrative, demanding that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fight bloody battles and strongly express the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and the country. After he reviewed it and had no objections, he sent it to the storytellers in the station system for publicity.

At about the same time, Yang He was taking a lunch break at the Guyuan Trilateral Governor's Mansion. He is a bit old now, and if he does not take a lunch break, he will lack energy, so Yang He's lunch break is unstoppable. Even when the thieves invaded the Qin Dynasty, he has always maintained this habit.

But at this moment, Yang He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the noise outside. If you are woken up during lunch break, your temper will not be good!

"What's the fuss about?" There was anger in Yang He's words, and anyone could feel it. As long as he gave an unsatisfactory answer, thunderous anger would erupt!

This is also due to the fact that the city has become deeper as we age. If it had been the same as before, maybe we would have beaten it down first.

"Master, it's two staff members who are asking to see you, saying they have something urgent." A servant reported outside the door, "I have already emphasized that the master is taking a lunch break, but... but they still want to disturb the master!"

When Yang He heard this, he frowned and rubbed his slightly dizzy forehead with his hand. These two staff members have been with him for many years. Logically speaking, they know his lunch break habit and will not disturb him. There is an emergency. What emergency can there be at this time?

When Yang He thought of this, he suddenly thought that it had been many days since the various cavalry troops were mobilized. There should be news, right? The two of them were so anxious to disturb themselves. Could it be that they knew the result of the grassland war? Was it...defeated?

Thinking of this, Yang He felt that the matter was serious. If the cavalry on the three sides cannot come back, then I don't know how much trouble there will be under my rule.

Yang He thought, and hurriedly stood up, sending orders to discuss matters in the study, he would be there soon.

After a while, Yang He hurried into the study. Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the two staff members when they came to greet him, he was calm. As he walked to the main seat, he said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. , I still had the foresight to send a memorial to the court in advance to express my concerns..."

"Lord Governor, we have won, the war on the grassland has been won!" Seeing that Yang He had lost his mind, the staff member with a goatee quickly interrupted and reported.

Yang He sat down on the main seat and nodded: "It doesn't matter. I can come back as many cavalry troops as I can..."

Just after he said this, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but look up in surprise and confirmed: "Won? Who won?"

"Hong Zhongcheng won the battle and wiped out Lin Dan Khan's troops. Guihua City belongs to the Ming Dynasty. It is a rare victory!" Another fat staff member quickly replied, "And this victory has already been achieved." It happened many days ago, and the capital has probably known about it for a long time."

Yang He didn't believe his ears, and asked in confusion: "Total annihilation? Impossible, right?"

"Master Governor, please read this. This is the message sent back by General Liao Shen. It is absolutely true!" Goat Beard held a letter in his hand and handed it to Yang He.

General Liao Shen is Yang He's confidant, and his words must be credible. When Yang He heard this, he immediately read the letter.

But at this moment, the fat staff member was chattering beside him: "Then Hong Zhongcheng didn't have any good intentions. He didn't even send any news and went directly to the capital to report his victory with great fanfare!"

"Yes, he must want to see the Governor's joke, otherwise how difficult would it be to breathe?" Goatee also said angrily.

Yang He ignored their conversation and glanced at the letter. After reading the letter quickly, his face became very ugly.

He thought he could not win before, so he took precautions and prepared an ambush. This way he would have an explanation if he lost the battle. Even if it is a tie or a small victory, he can be said to be cautious, mature and prudent, and there will be no problem!

But the key now is that the war on the grassland is a great victory, a great victory that has been counted since the founding of the country! The more glorious the victory, the more it slaps him in the face. In contrast, let alone any mature and prudent comments, if you just don't know the military affairs, you will definitely not be able to escape.

The governor's duty is to govern the local military and political power. How could this ignorant soldier hold the position of governor? I remembered that I had specially asked the messenger to deliver the memorial to the capital, and asked him to deliver it with great fanfare so that everyone in the capital would know his attitude. Yang He couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. Look at the date, how many days have passed, and there is no way to remedy it.

Thinking of this, Yang He couldn't help but feel depressed, feeling that his role as governor had come to an end. He threw the letter on the table and reached out to rub his forehead. He felt that his head really hurt. He thought to himself, it was like shooting himself in the foot!

"Mr. Governor, look at what happened during the war. Hong Zhongcheng deliberately tricked the Governor!" the fat staff member said bitterly.

There are extra updates in the evening, which are high-order ones.
