After greeting the ministers, Chang Yu bowed to the front of the saint, and after saluting, Chongzhen asked lightly: "But are you going out of Beijing?" ”

In front of the public, in order to avoid the cabinet's tongue, he didn't dare to call Chang Yuqing, and Chang Yu didn't dare to call him a minister, so he hesitated and kowtowed: "There is something else to discuss."

His Royal Highness Li Banghua and others raised their eyebrows, the ministers are not allowed to be officials, and they are not allowed to discuss politics, what do these two people want to do, do they challenge the bottom line?

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter, let's hear it."

"The plague rebellion will investigate and punish corruption," Chang Yu hurriedly said.

Everyone was shocked, could it be that he had a cure for the plague? Immediately lifted the spirit.

Even Emperor Chongzhen was shocked: "But there is a good plan, the plague rebellion is getting more and more serious, and it has reached an urgent point."

"There is no good plan for the small one, but I have read many medical books and found that most of this disease is infected by rat mosquitoes, and now the weather is getting warmer, and rats, ants and mosquitoes are rampant, and I am afraid that the epidemic will be more serious, so the small one should quickly clean up the root cause of the spread in the whole city!"

The root cause of transmission? Chongzhen frowned, and the ministers were also in the clouds.

"Clean up garbage and debris, especially some human and animal filth, reduce the breeding of rats and mosquitoes, so as to prevent the spread of the epidemic, in short, the whole city is cleaned, public toilets are built, and the capital is clear, and the expansion of the epidemic is greatly controlled...... Chang Yu gushed endlessly.

The official toilet was built, and Chongzhen, Li Banghua and other ministers glanced at each other.

In fact, there were no public toilets in China before the invasion of the Eight-Nation Coalition at the end of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was a small county town or a dignified country, pedestrians were in a hurry to find a wall root to solve, that is, Chang Yu was still outside the Daming Gate last night.

Therefore, the streets and alleys are full of feces and urine filth, and every summer is even more stinky, this phenomenon was not until the invasion of the devils of the eight countries, and public toilets appeared in the capital until 1956, and in Europe, the British Harrington invented the flush toilet after the toilet popularized.

The proposal to clean up and build official toilets in the whole city is novel, not only Chongzhen thinks it is feasible, but the ministers also nodded slightly, now that the plague is raging, everyone is helpless, if it can eliminate or reduce the epidemic from this source, it can be regarded as something to do.

It's just that the construction of the official toilet will inevitably require a large amount of silver, and the treasury is already so empty, and the war is raging everywhere, and the salary is not enough......

Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu with a little embarrassment.

Chang Yu shook his head slightly, the meaning is very clear, don't play like this, I mentioned it and asked me to pay, I really have no money!

Anyway, Chongzhen knew that Chang Yu now had four battalions of men and horses under his command, as well as hundreds of thousands of mouths in Dongchang, and his hands must be tight enough!

I was a little bored in my heart, and suddenly saw Chang Yu squeezing his eyes, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned at first, and then suddenly, almost couldn't hold back his laughter: "This matter is feasible, the cabinet will discuss it for a while, and the Ministry of Industry will do it, and tell me what you just said about investigating and dealing with corruption, but why?" ”

"Your Majesty, Li Jiantai, the former right attendant of the Ministry and a member of the cabinet university a month ago, was murdered, and Dongchang was ordered to investigate, but unexpectedly found that Li Jiantai had accepted bribes before his death, and he had tens of thousands of taels of silver hidden in his home!"

Ah, so many! The Emperor's Palace exclaimed!

"The small one immediately made people investigate the former assistant Chen Yan in the same case, and Wei Dezao and others found that it was even worse than Li Jiantai, and the amount of corruption and bribery was huge and appalling!"

"I'm angry" Chongzhen angrily slapped the case: "Chen Yan has been in vain for several years, but he is a good money-maker, check it, check it to the end, and see how many people and people have been looted by these thieves who are not worried about the monarch, but only know how much people's fat and ointment have been looted."

Chang Yu received the order, and felt that the corruption of these people had reached an alarming level, and proposed to start an anti-corruption storm and strictly investigate some bigwigs of the yamen with big oil and water.

Chongzhen nodded without hesitation.

The little eunuch previously proposed the construction of the official toilet, and several people were still thinking about another question when they nodded, whether this is considered a minister interfering in politics, and thinking that this is related to the epidemic, just a suggestion.

When he was thinking about whether to bring a hat to the little eunuch, this guy suddenly had an anti-corruption storm, and Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate to express his support, which made them frown.

First, there are a few clean people who can achieve this position, although these people are all diehard fans of Chongzhen, they will work for state affairs, and they will eventually be martyred, but it cannot be said that they are not corrupt or take bribes.

Second, they were thinking again, whether this was meddling in the government and politics, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter was under their control, but then they thought about it, Dongchang is the emperor's person, and he also has the power to investigate and deal with corruption and bribery!

It's a bit big! It's also a bit self-assured!

It's okay to scare them, but of course Emperor Chongzhen won't really use the knife on the few people in front of him, there are very few people in Daming who are sincerely willing to guard the country with him at this time, only these few diehard fans are left, no matter what, he will keep them, but for those who are waiting for the fall of the old Zhu family, he is not welcome!

Immediately, Chang Yu was ordered to strictly investigate the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, which are several large yamen, and the non-Dongchang family investigated alone, and at the same time investigated with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which made Li Banghua and others a little relieved, not that they were afraid of finding them, but that the emperor was quite level, and did not throw the Metropolitan Procuratorate aside, otherwise this suppression would be too obvious.

When Chongzhen was about to discuss these two things in detail with Li Banghua and others, Chang Yu suddenly returned, and whispered a word in front of the emperor, Chongzhen heard this, stood up and said to Wang Chengen: "Out of the palace"

The system of the Ming Dynasty was relatively strict, and the emperor could not go out of the palace at will like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and some of them never went out of the imperial city several times, and even did not step out of the capital.

It is possible to leave the palace except for the generals who have returned from the war in person or to welcome the triumphant return of the war, and as for the favorite plot of the microservice private visit, it is almost impossible to happen.

But why did Emperor Chongzhen suddenly leave the palace.

Because Chang Yu said: "Li Yanbu went to Beijing and brought 10,000 Tartar heads!" ”

It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, only all kinds of etiquette specifications are enough to be busy for a few hours, but Emperor Chongzhen dictated: "Everything is simple, as soon as possible!" ”

It only takes half an hour, everything is properly prepared, thousands of guards of the government army guard are lined up outside the north gate of the imperial city to escort them, and the Dongchang fan is exhausted, plus the traffic control of the Jinyi guards along the way, from the north gate of the imperial city to the northeast Anding Gate all the way unimpeded!

Four carriages drove out of the imperial city, beside the car were more than 200 heavy armored cavalry of the palace battalion, and the front and rear periphery were the personal soldiers of the government guards, rushing towards the outside of the city.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the big headline of the emperor leaving the palace suppressed the storm of Chang Yu scolding the civil officials in a blink of an eye, and the people of the capital all rushed to tell each other and went to watch.

The emperor is out of the palace, it's rare in a hundred years, but what are you going to do?

I heard that to welcome a victorious army, it may be Wu Sangui......

I heard that Wu Sangui had tens of thousands of Tartar heads, just outside Andingmen......

I'm rubbing, it's really fake, if the rumors are true, then the good news of the little overseer of Dongchang and Wu Sangui is true, let's take a walk and see what the tartar looks like......
