Chapter 56: Do it when you're ready
After Emperor Chongzhen finished talking with Zhang Zhiji, the decree of the day was transmitted to the cabinet, and the British father and son were reinstated, and they became the governor of the Chinese military capital, the governor of the Beijing camp, and the guard.
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was originally in charge of this affairs, was transferred to the former military capital governor's office and assisted the British Duke. Xu Yunzhen, the deputy governor of Dingguo, was transferred to the Houjun Governor's Office and was the assistant British duke.
At the same time, a series of imperial nobles and nobles who held military power, such as Xiangcheng Bo Li Guojiao, Wuqing Hou Li Guorui, and Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing, all changed their positions.
Among them, some people's military power has deepened, some people's military power has weakened, and some people have been reduced to bare-bones commanders, and they have empty positions.
The ups and downs of it cannot be experienced by non-parties.
Moreover, Li Banghua, the right attendant of the military department, was ordered to count the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, and by the way, he also eliminated some vacant positions.
For a while, the sons and daughters of the nobles in the capital talked a lot, and they didn't understand what was wrong with Your Majesty.
At the moment of the great enemy, is it useful to temporarily come to rectify the Beijing camp?
And the fact that the original popularity was quite high gradually died down and quietly became silent because of this matter.
Of course, there are also some royal relatives and nobles, who are uneasy and secretly ask to see Emperor Chongzhen, but they all eat closed-door soup.
Emperor Chongzhen thought that if something was missed, it would be difficult to recover.
It's just that, having said that, it has something to do with Emperor Chongzhen being too busy.
These days, in addition to arranging the imperial conquest, Emperor Chongzhen has also been constantly receiving talents from all walks of life who rushed to the capital by order.
Shi Bangyao, the secretary of the General Administration, Yang Weiyuan, the left deputy capital of the Ducha Yuan, the former deputy Wang Yingxiong and others, and Emperor Chongzhen interviewed them one by one.
At the same time, he has a lot of urgent matters to deal with, where can he take care of this garbage?
"My lord, the price of grain in the capital has begun to rise wildly, and many rice shops will be sold out in less than an hour as soon as they open in the morning, and then they will rise four or five times when they open again in the afternoon.
Moreover, many people have no rice to buy, and even some poorer court officials have run out of rice for several periods, and if this continues, there will be civil unrest. ”
One afternoon, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished meeting with an official who was going to Beijing, and Lao Wang came in to pray.
"Good!"
Stretching his waist, a cold glint flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, and he turned around and asked Wang Chengen: "Have you sent all the people, when are you going to do it?" ”
"Emperor, everything is arranged, just wait for the emperor's orders." Wang Chengen replied.
"How much power do Jin merchants have in the court?"
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and then asked faintly.
Lao Wang immediately took out an account book, took it seriously, and said: "Emperor, the factory guard spent half a month, and it clearly involved the three former first assistants.
There are no less than 10 current ministers and officials above the fourth rank, seven people are implicated in the emperor's relatives and nobles, and those below the political envoy cannot be counted. ”
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing: "It is said that Donglin is powerful, and now compared with this Jin merchant, it is not much inferior." ”
After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen lowered his face and said with a serious expression: "Do it when you're ready!" ”
"The old slave obeys!"
After speaking, the old king withdrew from the palace.
On the same day, the imperial court sent additional manpower, and martial law in the capital was strengthened.
In the capital of millions of people, every house is closed, and few are open. In the past, the capital was full of fat and powder, and the meaning of liveliness and leveling disappeared.
The street market is becoming more and more deserted.
The people on both sides of Chaoyang Gate in the capital have a small samovar to boil some hot water, and they will get some food, and carefully look out from the cracks in the doors and windows.
If you are a little bolder, you still show half of your head on the wall, looking at the street where the soldiers and horses are constantly coming.
Everyone in the sensitive capital knows that something big has happened in the capital again.
At this time, in the private room of Yaxiangju, the first restaurant in Beijing, the housekeeper and Fan Yonggen, the former first assistant Liu Yuliang, were chatting and laughing, and the laughter was continuous.
"Brother Han doesn't know, although Fan is only a lifelong member, he also knows a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries in the court, and now the one in the Forbidden City is still being played with by me between applause.
As long as my brother can take my friend out of the city, Fan will be grateful in the future! ”
Jie Ji ......
The laughter of the male duck sounded, and Liu Yuliang's housekeeper said arrogantly: "Who in the capital doesn't know that the shopkeeper Fan is interesting enough, no problem, it's a trivial matter, and it's on me." ”
After saying that, there was a loud laugh in the private room.
At this moment, there were several screams outside the house, followed by a splash of blood on the window, which frightened Fan Yonggen and Steward Han to stand up immediately.
The door was directly slammed in, and then Fan Yonggen was shocked to find that all his bodyguards had been killed.
Moreover, just when he was puzzled, a long chain directly wrapped around his neck, and at the same time, Steward Han was also entangled in a long chain.
The fat-headed and big-eared two people were dragged out of the private room like two fat pigs, and a pair of feet wearing white soles and black boots appeared in front of them.
Dongchang's fan didn't say anything, pulled out a long knife and directly cut the hamstrings of these two people, and the pain made the two of them suddenly scream hoarsely.
"Shut them up and bring them back to prison!"
At the same time, near Chaoyang Gate, in front of the mansion of the Eight Great Jin Merchants, it was also surrounded by the Great Army.
"Take it directly! If you resist, you will be killed! ”
Lao Wang waved his hand and commanded.
"Obey!"
The elite Dongchang fan responded loudly, pulled out his blade and killed the team.
These people are not court officials, and Dongchang Fanzi doesn't bother to care whether they resist or not, anyway, they will be slaughtered directly for a while.
His Majesty and the factory boss asked for silver, and it was not a pity that these traitors died.
Lao Wang looked at these murderously and said nothing.
Once the power of life and death is grasped, a loyal and honest person will become a ruthless and murderous person.
Lao Wang is such an example, and now he has almost become the second Duke of Wei, even more vicious than Grandpa Wei.
Because his emperor is about to go desperately.
And what he can do is to become a butcher knife in the hands of the emperor and remove some obstacles for the emperor.
