Emperor Chongzhen looked at the lines of words, and to be honest, he was in a very good mood.

This Qian Qianyi is also famous in later generations, because he also has another nickname: the water is too cold!

Regarding Qian Qianyi's performance in the original history, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen did not have a good impression of him. When he crossed over, this Qian Qianyi had already been cut and went home. Otherwise, with the current atmosphere in officialdom and Qian Qianyi's style of life, he would definitely have something to do in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, now that he has gone back, as a Donglin boss, he is probably trying to use his old qualification to teach Zhang Pu a lesson at the beginning, but things have developed seriously, and finally developed to the point where no one shows mercy to anyone and completely tears his face.

Not bad, not bad! Emperor Chongzhen was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but think that it seemed that he was right to approve Wu Changshi's recital before. In this way, where Zhang Pu patrolled, there was Qian Qianyi's hometown, which was equivalent to giving Zhang Pu a chance to rectify Qian Qianyi.

It is estimated that within these two days, he will reply to Wu Changshi's will to Yangzhou. Then continue to sit and watch the Diaoyutai and watch a good show.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly, he saw a line of words slowly unfolding in front of him. Needless to say, the system reacted again, which made him rejoice in his heart, and hurriedly looked at it.

"The dilemma of the Ming Dynasty today lies in the fact that the Ming officialdom has been decaying after nearly two hundred and seventy years. All kinds of officialdom rules have long been completely destroyed. And to be Ming Zhongxing, a clean and efficient government organization, is indispensable. Otherwise, no matter how wise the emperor is, there is no reliable execution of officials, and he will not be able to bring real benefits to the people of the Ming Dynasty! The host now uses Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, as a breakthrough point, and successfully provokes the original monolithic Jiangnan officialdom infighting, which is the best start to rectify the officialdom and refresh the rule of officials. If the direction is right, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, and a Grade A eavesdropping seed is hereby rewarded for encouragement! ”

After reading this content, Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to praise the system well, and thought in his heart: My heart is very fragile, so I should encourage it more!

Looking at the glittering Grade A eavesdropping seed, Emperor Chongzhen thought again about what to do with this seed?

For the first time, of course, he was thinking about what he had just thought, that is, the verification of the preferential and exempt quota of the official gentry and the reminder of the arrears. This incident should be the biggest shock to officialdom. Even to put it mildly, on the southern officialdom, even if the Manchu Qing invaded the Guannai, it was not as big as the shock brought to them by this incident!

This can only be done once. If it is boycotted by those Jiangnan officials and gentry this time, it will be even more difficult to go back and want to do this thing again.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen decided to use the newly obtained Grade A eavesdropping seed for this matter.

So how do you use it? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously he had an idea. Then, he listened to his decree and sent Yang Tinglin, the imperial history of the right capital, to meet him.

It didn't take long for Yang Tinglin to rush to the Wenhua Palace.

The year before last, he was only a member of the Ministry of War, but in the war of Jianyu's invasion of Guannai, he performed well, and was promoted by the emperor to the right capital of the imperial history. For the emperor's kindness, he naturally remembered it, and since he took office, he has been conscientious and conscientious.

This time, the emperor summoned, and he thought that he was going to ask about the situation of the Imperial Procuratorate, so on the way here, he made preparations in his heart.

However, he didn't expect that the emperor would ask him: "What do you think is the atmosphere of officialdom in the south?" ”

Yang Tinglin is a native of Jiangxi, Chongzhen's four-year jinshi, also ranked high, but he has not been very happy, and has been suppressed by his colleagues in the officialdom. Earlier, he was not used to Yang Sichang and had impeached him. Therefore, he does not have a good impression of those colleagues in the officialdom.

At this time, he listened to the emperor ask him this, and did not hesitate, and immediately played the right word: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Jiangnan officialdom only cares about small families and has no sense of justice. Greed for ink is rampant, drunk dreams and death, and greed for pleasure is the most! ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect his comment to be so low, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he immediately asked, "Oh, why did Qing say that?" ”

Yang Tinglin originally said the truth, but when he saw that the emperor was not angry, he talked to the emperor endlessly.

Jiangnan Shilin, the atmosphere is erosive, there are many places in the wind and moon, and the reputation of the place is the best, far better than in the north, which can be seen. And fortunately, he is masculine, he likes to wear women's clothes, apply grease and powder, swagger through the market, and take pleasure.

Local officials are all profiteering, wealth, or fame. Those who are rich make real money, and those who are famous are placed in a frame in front of the yamen, so that the merchants and the people can pay their own taxes, which is called the parents and officials!

……

Yang Tinglin said a lot at once, and when he said to the end, he suddenly made up his mind in his heart, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Jiangnan officialdom will be like this, there is a big reason, it is that I set up two capitals in the north and south, and the officialdom acquiesces that the officials of the capital should be accompanied by Tianfu, and they are all frustrated places for officialdom to retire. In this way, the officials who accompany the capital have no hope for their careers, and they have the heart to pursue pleasure. That's not right! ”

This kind of thing, if it were an ordinary official, would never have said it. Because this thing is like this, and it was told to the emperor, will the emperor still change? And if this matter is going to get out, for the officials on the Jingshi side, they don't like to hear it.

However, Yang Tinglin is such a person, upright and pursuing. Since he said it, he didn't care whether it was a thankless thing or not, and he had to tell the emperor about it.

In the original history, Yang Tinglin was suppressed by Yang Sichang, and finally returned to his hometown. It stands to reason that he should have an opinion on the Chongzhen Dynasty. After all, Yang Sichang's power was caused by Emperor Chongzhen's partial listening and belief, and he Yang Tinglin was the victim of this incident.

However, when Li Zicheng invaded the Beijing division and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself and spread to the south, Yang Tinglin wept endlessly, so he recruited troops in Jiangxi and called himself Jianshan, intending to imitate Wen Tianxiang (Wenshan) and Xie Fangde (Stacking Mountain) These two mountain festivals. In fact, he also practiced his strength, and finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the water after the defeat of the anti-Qing army.

At this time, after Yang Tinglin finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen with his head held high, anyway, he had already said it, whether it was a curse or a blessing, he would have to bear the consequences for what he said.

But who knows, after Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he laughed, which was a little different from what Yang Tinglin thought.

Because he thought about this matter, even if the emperor was not angry, he would avoid this topic, because there were no other dynasties, only the Ming Dynasty had it, and this was the pot made by Chengzu.

He was a little puzzled, but Emperor Chongzhen had already spoken: "Regarding the matter of accompanying the capital, I have also been thinking about it, if it is just a retirement place for idle officials, it is indeed a little inappropriate......

Yang Tinglin immediately showed surprise on his face when he heard this, he thought, he was already daring to speak, but he didn't expect the emperor to be really unscrupulous, he said that accompanying the capital is a retirement place for idle officials, is it appropriate for the emperor to say this?

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to care about whether it was suitable or not, and still said: "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, if the capital is only in Beijing, it is too far away from the south, and it is a bit beyond the reach of the whip." In the future, I have other plans, and it will be more important for the south to change. Therefore, I thought that I couldn't let the officials who accompanied the capital become idlers who ate dry food, so as Qing said, doing nothing would bring about the atmosphere in Jiangnan. ”

Yang Tinglin was dumbfounded when he heard this, what is the emperor going to do? Is it difficult to move the capital?

After Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, the later emperors actually thought about moving back to Tianfu, but for various reasons, even if they were prepared to move the capital, they did not move back in the end.

Moving the capital is a big deal, involving all aspects, and it is not so easy to move!

Before he could ask, Emperor Chongzhen said himself: "My idea is to let the officials of the capital earnestly perform their official duties, and the six ministries and nine secretaries must do things well." The main thing, of course, is to react quickly to things in the southern provinces. ”

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't say it, it doesn't need to be said that it involves some major matters, of course, it is up to the emperor to decide.

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face, bowed down and played: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

He didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen was talking about this time, in fact, he was already thinking about whether to sit in Beijing for a few years in the future, and then go to Yingtianfu for a few years. On the Jingshi side, to be honest, the traffic is not very convenient for Tianfu.

Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yang Tinglin obviously agreed with him at this time, so he said to him with confidence: "In this way, I intend to change the Qing to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, go over first, and picket the officialdom for me, and when there is a foundation, I will issue an order to announce what I said today, how about it?" ”

If you don't say hello first, you will be promoted, but if you go to Nanjing to take up a post, in the eyes of others, it will be to lose your sacred heart and become an idle official.

Yang Tinglin listened, of course he was happy, not only was he promoted, but his suggestion was responded to by the emperor, which was an absolute importance to him. Therefore, he immediately bowed down and said, "Wechen obeys!" ”

"Oh, yes!" When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he seemed to think of something, so he explained to Yang Tinglin again, "Zhang Pu patrols the locality, verifies the preferential and exempt quotas of the official gentry and collects the arrears, if he can't stand it, Qing wants to support him, because this is also a very important thing to rectify the officialdom atmosphere!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Yang Tinglin responded loudly again, without hesitation.

So, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded him with the Grade A eavesdropping seed.

As soon as Yang Tinglin left, Emperor Chongzhen sent a decree to recruit Lu Jiude to explain to him, and then changed him to the eunuch of Nanjing, and rushed to Nanjing to take up his post.

On the Nanjing side, in fact, the biggest is not the six departments and nine qing, but the eunuchs who guard the town, and they have a lot of power.

Emperor Chongzhen was worried that it would not work with Yang Tinglin, so he asked Lu Jiude, who had led the troops to fight, to go to the town.

After arranging these things, Emperor Chongzhen's mind turned to Wu Zhong, who was now a Manchu concubine.

At this time, he was already at sea, listening to the conversation between him and the commander of the Jianyu Naval Division, the two ships did not dare to go south along the coast after arriving directly in Dengzhou, but went directly south to the south side of the Yangtze River, and now I don't know where they were?

This one is a bit of a hassle! Now, only by eavesdropping on the seeds, he can know exactly where Wu Zhong is and what he does. If someone is sent to Jiangnan, it will take many days to pass from Beijing, and if Wu Zhong changes places and does something else, there will be no way to make arrangements for the situation on Wu Zhong's side.

Speaking of which, the traffic at this time is still too backward. In later generations, it was an hour's drive to drive for a day, and at this time it was necessary to ride a horse for a day, not to mention comfort. If you change it to high-speed rail and airplane speed, not to mention.

The traffic is backward and the communication is inconvenient!

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this matter, and felt a little troublesome, the best countermeasure was to rush to Jiangnan in person, so that not only could he know what Wu Zhong was doing in time, but also knew whether he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, or had he defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty completely? In addition, according to the situation in Jiangnan, Wu Zhong's chess piece can be arranged according to the situation, so as to maximize the rectification of the gentry in Jiangnan, so that the Ming officialdom can be cleared.

However, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he easily leave the capital division? Although there has been one time before, it was a personal expedition to exterminate the thieves who had grown stronger, and this matter could at least be passable on the bright side.

If you want to go to Jiangnan, of course, you have to go secretly. In this way, on the Jingshi side, the emperor is missing, and the impact will be greater. What's even more painful is that the transportation in this era is inconvenient, and it will take at least a few months to go to Jiangnan, not two or three days, to go out secretly and come back secretly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen still couldn't decide.

But after a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he decided to take this opportunity to take it first.

On the other hand, Lu Xiangsheng is already making final preparations and is about to cross the sea. On this side, we should also pay attention to it.

……

When he was thinking about these things here, when Wu Chang, who was sick in bed, had already heard the news from the servant, and knew that Zhang Pu had made a big fuss about Qiuyue Pavilion, not only arrested eight people with official positions, but also made Hou Fangyu and Qian Qianyi so angry that they fainted, vomiting blood, this matter is a big trouble!

When Jinyiwei was by his side, he sighed and said, "Brother Zhang is really impulsive, why bother to meet those people!" ”

As he spoke, he looked worried about Zhang Pu and felt sorry for him.
