72 God helps himself
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but be very happy. The system is a surprise! Worthy of recognition! However, who to "reward" this Class C eavesdropping seed to will have to be considered again.
After being happy for a while, he reclined on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, and began to think about what was going on.
The case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor involved almost all the people with official ranks, including the generals in the army. Now that the East Factory is raiding and arresting people, it is inevitable that people will be panicked.
The most important thing is that these armies under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Guardian hold important positions in the Suwei Palace, and if something happens, the Imperial Palace will be the first to suffer. Also, the Yongwei battalion is fighting outside, and the combat effectiveness of this unit is still very strong. It can't be because of the rectification of the Imperial Horse Prison that it affects the Yongwei Battalion!
Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen became more cautious about rectifying the Imperial Horse Prison in his heart.
In fact, in the corruption list handed over by Cao Huachun, he saw the names of the two overseers of the Yongwei Battalion. However, relatively speaking, these people who did not stay in Jingshi are serious. Or from another point of view, the heart of the eunuch king who was the former imperial horse eunuch was not stupid. He also knows that he can't wipe out the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, and there must always be an ace division in hand, so that he can also have the right to speak.
Therefore, among the four guards and two battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, they did not move the Yongwei battalion much, and tried their best to ensure the training and logistics of the Yongwei battalion. Because of this, there is only such a "Royal Forest Army" that can fight in the four guards and two battalions.
The original Emperor Chongzhen didn't know the twists and turns in the middle, and thought that out of the Yongwei Battalion, a capable division, he felt that this method of forming an army was useful, so he hurriedly set up another one, but there was no longer the combat power of the Yongwei Battalion.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, so he made a decision, for the Yongwei battalion, it was mainly to pacify, and for several other armies, it was mainly to reorganize. For the time being, let Cao Huachun take Dongchang to do enough of the wicked, and then selectively pardon some low-level officers, at least to stabilize the guards of the palace.
At this time, Cao Huachun didn't think that he was being a villain. The expansion of the East Factory replenished five hundred people at once, and also brought down the second prison in the palace, and the sense of accomplishment brought by this made him feel happy like never before.
When he saw the palm print eunuchs of the other eunuchs, he was very confident in his heart. Pi smiled and entertained one or two without smiling, and thought in his heart, wait, Liwei first, and then clean you up one by one!
Dongchang was raiding the relevant people of the Imperial Horse Prison, and there were not enough people, so Cao Huachun asked them to pack up the five hundred refugees who had just been replenished, and sent them to those servants to continue to investigate. and the group of boys who just came over, they also have to serve early and report the situation to the emperor as soon as possible. I have to say that this day, he is very busy, but very happy!
However, others may not necessarily have Cao Huachun's mood. After leaving the refugee camp, in the cabinet, the auxiliary ministers were listless, sitting behind the desk in a daze, and did not deal with the mountains of music.
Xue Guoguan came over, and when he saw him like this, he walked up to him and asked seriously: "It's just that a mouth has been added to the mansion, as an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, is it necessary for you to be so sullen?" ”
When Fang Fengnian heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, you Xue Man, you have done so many things but you don't know how to be afraid! He was very angry in his heart, but on the surface, he just replied coldly: "The weather is cold, and the body is slightly unwell, Xue Ge thinks too much!" ”
When Xue Guoguan heard this, he didn't speak again, turned his head to look at Yang Sichang on the other side, and saw that he was holding a pen on the ticket, so he didn't speak anymore and walked back to his seat.
Fang Fengnian watched him leave, scolded "Xue Manzi" in his heart, and then sighed in his heart. At this time, he was worried!
Of course, he was not worried about the extra mouth to eat in his house, but because of today's incident, he had a very bad premonition. If it is not possible to figure out the loan proposed by Xue Manzi to the emperor before, it is very likely that it will be made public and implemented.
The matter of borrowing money from hundreds of civil and military officials and princes and nobles is not comparable to the trivial matter of receiving a refugee above the fifth rank official today! Or conversely, today it is only an official above the fifth rank who takes back a refugee, and such a trivial matter, civil and military officials, including honorable nobles, are all opposed. If you have to wait for the loan to be made public, wouldn't it be stepping on everyone's tail, they will all jump up, and they will probably go crazy!
However, the imperial court had no money, but the Qin Wang army asked for money, and it cost money to clean up the post-war mess, and it cost money to reorganize the defense line of the Great Wall...... Anyway, everything you can think of, all you need money. In this context, it is very likely that the emperor will use Xue Manzi's loan proposal, unless there is another way to get money, and there must be enough money, but is this possible?
Dongchang is checking those people in the Imperial Horse Prison, but how much money can be reported in the end? Besides, many of this kind of confiscation are silk and satin, antique calligraphy and paintings, shops and farmhouses, etc., and it is difficult to realize them. Pinning my hopes on these, it is estimated that even the money for a reward is not enough!
After thinking about it, Fang Fengnian felt that the possibility of borrowing money was getting bigger and bigger. The thought of this made him a little scared.
Xue Manzi's previous proposal was to collect the loan in the name of the cabinet, which means that the entire cabinet will be dragged down by Xue Manzi and hated by all the civil and military officials and princes. Thinking of the scene in the early dynasty today, Fang Fengnian was a little afraid to imagine what would happen after the loan was proposed?
Thinking like this, he felt that the position he was sitting in under him seemed to be a little hot.
At this time, in Fang Fengnian's mind, a thought suddenly popped up, resign and return to his hometown?
Yes, instead of waiting for Xue Manzi's loan to break out, it is better to return to his hometown now! You must know that the battles in officialdom today are often dead!
With an idea in his heart, Fang Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Yang Sichang, and saw that he was engrossed in watching the recital, and couldn't help but think: Ziwei, Ziwei, the old man can't accompany you anymore, so do it yourself!
He didn't know that although Yang Sichang looked serious, in fact, he was also full of worries in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Since his assertion that the outside must be safe first was refuted by Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang actually had hidden worries in his heart. Although he changed his course in time, echoed Emperor Chongzhen's statement, and tried every means to follow the emperor's wishes, the effect was still not good, and the emperor did not immediately accept his proposal to increase his salary.
In today's early dynasty, Yang Sichang opposed Xue Manzi's proposal, but the emperor accepted Xue Manzi's proposal, which made him stand on the opposite side of the emperor again, which made him even more uneasy.
But it's a Ming Auxiliary Minister, a top figure among civil officials. After such a long buffer, Yang Sichang found another reason to comfort himself: he was known for knowing soldiers in front of the emperor, and now in an eventful season, his position is indispensable. Even if there is a disagreement with the emperor, it should be a trivial matter, and it will not have much impact on him.
Of course, there is a concern here. It is Lu Xiangsheng who has regained the attention of the emperor, and judging from the feeling these days, it seems that the emperor regards Lu Xiangsheng more seriously than himself!
Thinking of this, Yang Sichang suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled coldly, and thought in his heart, fortunately, God is helping him. That Lu Xiangsheng was looking for death by himself, but he was surrounded by 100,000 Manchu Qing troops in Julu, eight or nine times out of ten, it was impossible to live. In this way, his position should still be very stable!
