Chapter 460: Gathering in the Capital to Fight (Asking for Rewards!) )
Looking at Cui Yingyuan in front of him, Wang Dengku's face became very ugly. He stood up and said, "You are so perverse, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" Traitors and rebels, sooner or later there will be retribution! ”
After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan immediately laughed, and he said, "Just people like you, are you embarrassed to come to me?" I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, unlike you people who sell their country to seek glory. You deserve to die! ”
After saying this, Cui Yingyuan seemed to feel a little distracted, and waved his hand directly.
Looking at Wang Dengku, Cui Yingyuan said impatiently: "Forget it, don't say it, it's useless to say it." Can they still convince you with their mouths? People in this world are like this, and they can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. ”
After hearing this, Wang Dengku was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, come with me." Cui Yingyuan said with a smile: "You'll know when you get to the place." ”
Wang Dengku's arrest represents the official start of the anti-corruption campaign around Zhangjiakou.
Groups of men and horses began to officially surface, not only those businessmen who betrayed the country to seek glory were arrested, but also Zhangjiakou large and small stable officials and military generals were also arrested.
The action was very swift and the results were very good. After all, the arrangement began about half a year ago, and the personnel arrangements had already been in place, so there were basically no big twists and turns in this operation.
Even if someone in the army is not convinced, it is useless. After all, the current Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the army of the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger. Many generals on the side also know that although the situation in the imperial court is not too good, it is much stronger than before.
After all, although Sun Chengzong asked for the allocation of money, although not all of them were in place, some of them had already come. Life on the border was much better, the imperial court gave a lot of food, and the morale of the army was quite stable.
In addition, the border here is quite peaceful, and life is relatively easy. If the officers don't make trouble, the military households below won't make trouble, so there are no big twists and turns.
Before there is chaos in the world, no one dares to rebel blatantly, that is, they are looking for death. What's more, there are still upright people in the army, and these people can also ensure the effective operation of the army.
All of a sudden, the whole Northland was arresting people everywhere. Jin Yiwei went out in all directions, and it can be said that he became famous all of a sudden.
At this time, in the capital, the situation is not too good.
Public opinion has fermented very strongly, and many people have begun to criticize Jinyiwei.
On the one hand, these people are involved in the business of the north, and on the other hand, they are cold-lipped. After all, everyone's business is not very glorious, and if it is really pursued, it will be very troublesome.
Although I don't want to keep those people in the north, I also want to prevent the imperial court from doing such a thing again.
Suddenly, public opinion was boiling, and the officials in the court were also very big. However, the people at the top know that this is His Majesty's doing, and they don't have a good way.
in the Cabinet.
Three Cabinet Ministers are meeting again.
Since Sun Chengzong went to the General Staff, there have been three cabinet scholars left in the cabinet. Although there is news that "non-Hanlin can also enter the cabinet", His Majesty does not seem to have the intention of adding, which makes people a little confused.
However, Xu Guangqi is not independent, after all, he has the support of His Majesty's ministers.
This time, the three of them got together, naturally to discuss the affairs of the north. Now the situation in the imperial court is very complicated, and there are some things that need to be done by the three of them.
His Majesty is not in the capital, and their power has been greatly increased. It's just that no one dares to mess around, and no one knows what His Majesty explained before leaving.
After all, in addition to them, there is also a staff office.
Among the ministers of the General Staff Office, there are ruthless people like Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, which really cannot be underestimated at all.
"How's it going out there?" Han Yi looked at Xu Guangqi and asked directly.
The current Han Yi actually has a big head, and the things that His Majesty made out when he went to the north are so big, and now the capital is making such a big noise, and without His Majesty in charge, it really makes Han Yi's heart a little unconfident.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Han Yi, Xu Guangqi couldn't look down on this cabinet chief assistant who was not responsible, and he didn't know why His Majesty still used him.
However, Xu Guangqi also knew that he couldn't have anything to do with Han Yi at this time. After pondering for a moment, Xu Guangqi said: "Just now, the people from Shuntianfu came to report, and there was a fight in the city. ”
After hearing this, Han Yi's face became a little ugly, and he asked, "How did Chen Qiyu do things?" ”
This Chen Qiyu, who can be said to be His Majesty's henchman, suddenly rose to prominence in the matter of King Fu of Henan, and then was reused by His Majesty and sat directly in the position of Yin of Shuntian Mansion.
Originally, everyone still wanted to watch the excitement, after all, what can such a young man achieve by sitting in such a high position at such a young age?
Besides, if he suddenly gets such a high position, this person will definitely float up, and then he will slap His Majesty in the face.
But the facts made everyone unexpected, after this Chen Qiyu sat in the position of Yin of Shuntian Mansion, it can be said that he governed Shuntian Mansion in an orderly manner, and he was not arrogant or impatient, neutral and balanced, and he was simply a very suitable official candidate.
In such a situation, it is impossible to get him. However, many people also realize that Chen Qiyu is a capable person.
On weekdays, Han Yi also knows that this Chen Qiyu has always been very sure of the governance of Shuntian Mansion. It is precisely because of this that Han Yi would say such things.
After all, a person who has always been very sure cannot suddenly do something that he is not sure of, unless this person loses his wisdom.
But Chen Qiyu is not such a person at all, so there is probably something in this that Han Yi doesn't know, so Han Yi said so.
Han Yi wanted to know what was going on here.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Han Yi, and the old god said, "It's the scholar and the scholar who are fighting." ”
After hearing this, Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then sat down thoughtfully.
He raised his head and looked at Xu Guangqi and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Somebody is talking about the Northlands, but somebody is against it. These people think that the northern land is all traitors, and that not severely punishing them is not enough to anger the people, and not severely punishing them is not enough to uphold people's hearts; Those who run for the people of the Northland simply have no conscience for those who read. ”
"The two sides started a fight without saying a word, and now the person has been arrested in Shuntianfu. The people of Shuncheonfu asked what to do? ”
When Xu Guangqi said this, the old god was there, and he took out a stack of question books, looked at Han Yi directly, and said: "This is what the cabinet has just received, and all of them are question books handed over by officials at all levels. They are all saying that the affairs of the north should be severely punished, not only severely, but also punished as soon as possible, and the edict should be told to the world, so that everyone knows that there is no good end for betraying the country and seeking glory! ”
This made Han Yi stunned.
Is this reversal too fast? I love Chinese.com
There was such a thing just after the commotion, is this the arrangement of whom?
Or is this His Majesty's arrangement?
Han Yi couldn't help but look at Xu Guangqi.
"Don't hide it anymore at this time." Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "If you have anything, just say it directly." ”
"This time Your Majesty is going to the Northlands, and you must know what to do." Xu Guangqi glanced at Han Yi and Huang Kezhang and said, "I won't say much about this, and I naturally understand what I should understand." ”
Han Yi and Huang Kezhang looked at each other for a moment, and neither of them said anything about this matter.
This is naturally understood by everyone who should understand. His Majesty went to the north. It's not so much an inspection, it's actually a matter of getting money. Han Yi and the two of them knew this very well in their hearts.
Although there is no need for His Majesty to go in person about this matter, His Majesty went in person, and they all know why Han Yi.
First, it is to increase certainty, and second, it is to prevent corruption by those who investigate corruption.
There are too many things in the Ming officialdom, and Your Majesty is really not at ease. The money in the north is needed by the imperial court, not only His Majesty's inner treasury has no money, but the treasury of the household department is also running out of money. The expenses of the imperial court are very large, and His Majesty has done a lot of things, and this money is absolutely indispensable.
These people in the north just gave His Majesty an excuse, once the court was going to fight or something happened, it was not too unusual to get some people to get some money.
These bigwigs in the court also know it in their hearts, and it's not that they haven't done it, and that's how they have come over all these years.
Why are those people in Jiangnan very insecure?
Why do wealthy businessmen everywhere train their own officials?
To put it bluntly, he wants a voice and will not become a lamb to be slaughtered in the court.
Otherwise, the richer you are, the more dangerous you are. Once there is something in the court, you are the money jar of the court. Only people with backgrounds can keep them, so they collude with each other and with officials.
The reason why His Majesty went to the Northland in person was to cut through the chaos quickly. No matter who is behind it, they dare not stand up. Even His Majesty can follow the vine and pull them all out.
This kind of thing is that they understand each other, but they can't say it.
Xu Guangqi looked at the two of them and nodded, knowing that they understood what they meant, so he said: "Although many merchants in the north are smuggling, serious trading is also very profitable. This time, after the merchants of the north were arrested, the business of the north still had to be done. ”
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has joined forces with many merchants, and it is said that they have already stocked a lot of goods, and now they are all starting to ship. These people are ready to go to the north and make a fortune. ”
The meaning of this statement is obvious, the people who have the accident this time are all stakeholders.
The commercial interests of the North are vacated, and that is a huge commercial gap, and a lot of money can certainly be made in that position. After all, the geographical location and the current situation dictate this, and there is no way to change it.
As long as you ship things over and sell them, you can make money.
It's not that I didn't want to do it before, but it was all controlled by people in the north and pressed by officials. If you send something over, you may be robbed halfway through, and then you will be empty of money and goods, and it is not up to you whether you can save your life.
But now it's different, officialdom in the north is being purged, and a large number of merchants in the north have been killed, and all of them are big shots.
This time, the business was led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What kind of yamen is that?
It was the royal yamen. To put it bluntly, people are doing business for the royal family, and the emperor's is the emperor's when they lose money and make money, who dares to wear small shoes in this kind of business?
They don't oppress people with force, that's already their rules, and they dare to give them the means?
With the Ministry of Internal Affairs taking the lead, these businessmen naturally flocked to it. Judging from the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, there is a group of people standing behind each big chamber of commerce, most of whom are township parties formed by regions, and the strength of these people should not be underestimated.
Now that some people want to speak for the people in the north, these township parties naturally have to stand up, because next they have to do business, and it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs that takes the lead and the royal family acts as a guarantor.
Under such circumstances, it is natural for these township parties to show their loyalty. In order to make things bigger, let the above see their own things, what is it to fight?
That's where we are today.
Xu Guangqi's words were only to the point, and after talking about the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, he stopped talking.
However, Han Yi and Huang Kezhang are both smart people, and they are still big bosses in the court, so they naturally understand what is going on.
The two of them knew it after a little thought, and they were both a little helpless.
I'm afraid this is also in His Majesty's calculations, right?
Seeing that the faces of the two of them were suddenly revealed, Xu Guangqi said directly: "What do you say about Shuntianfu?" Chen Qiyu is still waiting for our answer. ”
After hearing this, Han Yiyi frowned, and said with some disdain: "Is he Chen Qiyu Shuntian Mansion Yin or am I Shuntian Mansion Yin?" Should such a small matter also be brought to the cabinet? Let him figure it out for himself, and don't go to the cabinet for everything. ”
Although this may seem like a reprimand, it is actually a gesture. Han Yi was telling Xu Guangqi not to let Chen Qiyu jump up and down.
The matter has basically been resolved at this point, and a safe and stable past is the best. Stop making any more of this nonsense.
The fight in Suncheonfu is a trivial matter, and it can be dealt with as it should be handled. Do you still need to make a fuss when you get into a fight?
Xu Guangqi also understood that this was a consensus reached by several people.
This matter is like this, the big thing is small, the small thing is small, and the matter is directly suppressed. The fermentation of public opinion does not have to worry about the cabinet.
However, Xu Guangqi understands better that Chen Qiyu will definitely not stop there.
Those who support the merchants in the north are estimated to be beaten well this time. As for how to be partial, this kind of thing doesn't need to be taught.
Whoever comes out first, who picks quarrels and provokes trouble, then clean up first; If the other group of people fight back passively, then they will be lightly fired.
Who picks quarrels and provokes trouble, this kind of thing is in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, as long as you investigate a little, you can understand.
If Chen Qiyu can't do this thing, then he won't be Chen Qiyu. The reason why he reported it was because he asked about the attitude of the cabinet.
Now the cabinet has given an attitude, the cabinet doesn't care about small things, you can do it yourself. The credit is yours, don't look for me if something happens.
