As soon as this person shouted, everyone knew about it, and they were all stupid!

Isn't this a doctor for the Ministry of Justice? Why did this official book drag out like a dog in the blink of an eye?

There were people who didn't know Tian Weijia, and hurriedly asked the one on the side: "Is it wrong, how could the official book be dragged out?" ”

There are people who know Tian Weijia, blink their eyes vigorously and look at it again, that's right, it is indeed a book of officials!

Just when they were confused, they heard a Dongchang stall head shouting loudly: "Tian Weijia is corrupt and perverts the law, for fear of accountability, he is not sick and pretends to be sick, deceives the emperor, obeys the order, beheads the decision, and hangs the head on the Zhengyang Gate!" ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately waved his hand, and Dongchang Fanzi, who had already carried a ghost head knife on the side, did not hesitate to raise the knife and drop it.

Blood spurted out, and the head fell to the ground.

A fan picked up the head, said loudly, the head was correct, and then quickly rode together, carried the head, and went to Zhengyang Gate.

In this way, Tian Weijia, who would have surrendered to the Manchus in history, would never have had this opportunity again. In the history books, he will no longer be called a second minister, but a corrupt official.

At the gate of Tianfu, it is very quiet, except for the news of copying the house in the house, the door of this house is really quiet, even if there are many people.

Almost everyone was stunned by this scene. didn't even bring the slightest mud and water, just like that, with such a "click", the head of the official book fell off!

It wasn't until Tian Weijia's head could no longer be seen that the crowd of onlookers came back to their senses. Suddenly, many people ran away, faster than rabbits.

As a result, in the various mansions of the Beijing Division, the following scenes often appear.

"The master is not good, hurry up and go to the office! If it's too late, your head will be lost! ”

"Master, let's go, it's too late for Dongchang Fanzi to come to the door, and the head of the official department will be cut off when he says it!"

“……”

Hearing this kind of news, those officials who pretended to be sick at home naturally wanted to ask what was going on.

When I asked what was going on, I was so frightened that I ran so fast that I couldn't see a little sick at all, so I hurried to the office. If it is too late to be blocked in the mansion by Dongchang Fanzi, the imperial doctor will diagnose it again, and it will be another crime of bullying the king, and the head will go to Zhengyangmen as a companion.

"Master, your official uniform, you haven't worn your official uniform yet!"

"Master, your shoes have fallen off, your shoes have fallen off......"

“……”

In the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, these local officials who pretended to be sick at home ran faster than rabbits. Some didn't even dare to change into official clothes at home and then go out, so they directly took their official uniforms and wore them in the sedan chair to the yamen.

So, after Cao Huachun copied the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, when he came to the next house, there were already servants waiting at the gate of the mansion, and hurriedly explained: "My master has recovered from his illness and went to the yamen to deal with official business!" ”

and then to the next one, and the result is still the same as the previous one.

After a busy day, Cao Huachun finally only copied the book of one official, and it was getting late, so he had to go back first.

And those officials who were so frightened that they turned into rabbits once came back to their senses after slowly calming down, and they couldn't help but feel a little indignant again. I feel that the emperor directly cut down a dignified official book like this, which is really disrespectful to the scholars.

The Ming Dynasty was founded for nearly three hundred years, how many emperors were so arrogant? It's really going to chill the hearts of the courtiers, how can you rule the Ming Dynasty by relying on your emperor alone?

However, the people of Jingshi have a different opinion from them.

The grain merchant who hoarded Qiju was arrested, and the people of Beijing applauded, eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate! They don't care if you're rebelling or not, anyway, these grain merchants almost starved them to death!

Yushi and grain merchants colluded, that's good, Yushi was arrested, that's also very happy! And what, and the Cabinet Auxiliaries? It's good that he is all arrested, and he doesn't care what auxiliary ministers he is!

As for the Ministry of Officials, those candidate officials who are waiting for new official positions in Beijing, and the candidate officials who are being manipulated by the Ministry of Officials, are also clapping their hands one by one, let you fish, you can't kill you!

For all this, Emperor Chongzhen naturally has sources and knows what the situation is.

He himself can also think that if it is just a chicken, the effect may not be very good!

Although those officials did not dare to pretend to be sick anymore, after arriving at the yamen, they did not work well, and they knew that they would complain, which he could not tolerate.

So, the next day, he went crazy again.

"I still want to give away a few pillars of the country, but look, there is not a single plaque to give away! What is the state of officialdom in my Ming Dynasty? Don't think I don't know! ”

After saying this, the factory guard acted again.

This time, none of the officials such as the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Officials ran away, and all of them were arrested. At the same time, Wu Linzheng was promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, temporarily acting as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the operation of the Ministry of Officials.

In addition, many people from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment were also arrested, but most of these officials of the yamen wore prison uniforms and continued to deal with political affairs.

For a while, this situation reminded many people of the Hongwu period. At that time, there were also cases where officials in prison uniforms were handling government affairs.

In this situation, it is not that Emperor Chongzhen wants to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, but there is no way, he does not have enough talent reserves on hand, and if he really wants to arrest all the corrupt officials, the yamen will really be paralyzed. Therefore, if there are talents, they will be promoted, and if there are no talents, they can only let these corrupt officials wear prison uniforms to handle government affairs first. After all, it's still an eventful time, and there's a lot of work to do.

In this regard, many officials also touched the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen. is that the emperor must know the corruption of most people, but he does not mean to punish all of them. Only those serious cases were directly arrested, and no more chances were given at all.

Other corrupt officials are tantamount to making meritorious contributions to their crimes. If you behave well, you may be able to take off the prison uniform and put on the official robe again; If you don't behave well, you'll probably be wearing that prison uniform all the time!

After reaching this conclusion, the various yamen were unexpectedly operating with rare efficiency.

Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with this. However, he also understands that his heavy-handed attack is only temporarily subduing the civilian clique. If they can stay strong, then they can't resist. But if they can't be strong all the time and don't have strong capital, then they will definitely have a time to fight back in the future.

For example, the case of rebellion has not yet been decided. If the evidence presented is not convincing to the public, it may be used as a fuse to fight back.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried about this at all, because through the eavesdropping system, he already knew that Lu Xiangsheng led the Yongwei Battalion and the Hussar Battalion, and there was no accident on the road, and he had already arrived in Shanxi.

At this time, on the grassland outside the Guanwai, there was a group of six horsemen, who were galloping. Judging from the attire, from a distance, it seems to be a Mongol.

But suddenly they all stopped, and one by one they looked at their path. I saw that there were also quite a few people on their way, about fifty or sixty horsemen, resting there.

After a little look, one of them said excitedly to the leader of the man: "Big brother, it seems to be the Qing Dynasty's Tanma." ”

That eldest brother, named Fan Liujian, was the messenger sent by Fan Yongdou to Liaodong, and he also saw it clearly. Although it is far away, judging from the outfit, it is indeed a Qing Dynasty exploration horse.

So, he said in surprise: "Could it be, it's the Qing Kingdom that is in a hurry and rushed to contact us, right?" ”

In the past, there was indeed such a situation, and the Qing Dynasty sent people to Zhangjiakou to contact them. Of course, it was more Jin merchants who went to Liaodong.

"It must be, the lord and other merchants have hoarded so many materials, all of which are urgently needed by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, they must be in a hurry!"

"There are so many grain and grass materials piled up in Zhangjiakou, this time I will definitely get a lot of silver!"

“……”

They were obviously excited, and they were already dreaming of how much silver would be rewarded for the completion of this business.

Fan Liujian touched the neck of the horse under his crotch, and then said to his men: "Let's go, it's not the imperial court officials anyway, let's go over and ask about the situation, maybe we don't have to run to Shengjing!" ”

"Hehe, big brother, where did the court officials and soldiers come from on this grassland, we have all run so many times, when have we met the court officials, haven't we?"

"That's right, many years ago, maybe the imperial court officials and soldiers occasionally came out to fight the grass valley, but now when is it, then there may be the imperial court officials and soldiers, all of whom are afraid to death, and they are all hiding in the Great Wall!"

"Hehe, it's not safe to hide inside the Great Wall, the Qing army will break it, and it is said that a governor was killed just now!"

“……”

The men chatted with each other, and slowly drove their horses to meet the horses in the distance. When the speed is up, they stop talking, or their mouths are full of wind and they can't hear clearly.

It didn't take long for them to get closer, and they could see that the horses were resting, forming a circle, as if they were roasting a fire.

At this time, they obviously also discovered Fan Liujian and them, but they didn't greet them, they just glanced at them and continued to do their thing.

Getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, Fan Liujian, who was the leader, suddenly felt that something was wrong, when they met the Qing Dynasty people on the road before, they all reacted immediately, they would outflank them, and after confirming the identities of their people, they would let go of their hostility. Now these people, how can they be indifferent to a few people on their side?

Although I was a little puzzled in my heart, I hadn't had an accident for many years, and I didn't think much about it, but I just wondered if this Daqing Tanma should be waiting for their companions, but it shouldn't be, when did Daqing Tanma be too lazy to move? What if it's an enemy?

Could it be the people of the Mongolian Eight Banners? Fan Liujian thought so, so he knelt on the horse's back and looked carefully.

Some of his subordinates had already waved to the Daqing Tanma, signaling that everyone was their own and greeted them in advance, so as not to have any misunderstandings.

Finally, the Qing scouts reacted and beckoned to them, and half of them began to walk towards the war horses that were freed on the side.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is already closer, and it is probably just a stone's throw away, and they can already see each other more clearly.

Although the previous Daqing Tanma was dressed without a problem, how could their behavior be different from the Daqing Tanma they had encountered before? And, what was that other pile of stuff they were surrounding around?

As it approached, the speed of the horses here began to slow down. At this time, someone under Fan Liujian suddenly said: "Big brother, why don't there be any Mongols in these Qing Dynasty detectives?" ”

There are still some differences between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, which can be seen at a glance. Among the Manchu Qing horses, the Mongols must be indispensable, because of their riding skills. These Jin merchants had a lot of contact with Liaodong Jianyu, and they all knew some details.

"Yes, I don't see any of them being Mongols!" Another subordinate also confirmed.

Hearing this, one of his subordinates had already mounted his horse over there, and the Qing Dynasty detectives who were coming over shouted loudly: "Hey, we are from Shanxi, and our own people ......."

As soon as he heard this, he was originally just sitting there, looking at the Qing Dynasty scouts here, and suddenly they all stood up one by one, as if they were quite excited. Then someone went and lit the pile, and then the smoke came out and began to float into the air.

And those who were already on the war horse, just after hearing the sound, began to accelerate.

"Wolf smoke?"

"Wolf smoke!"

“……”

Almost as soon as they saw the smoke coming out, several people on Fan Liujian's side almost unanimously shouted.

They couldn't understand why as soon as it was said that people from Jin were coming, the Daqing Tanma began to light wolf smoke. What message are they conveying? Is there anyone else?

At this time, even the other party's eyebrows could be seen clearly, and Fan Liujian was suddenly shocked and said, "It's not good, they are not Daqing Tanma!" ”

The others also saw clearly that these people who greeted them in front of them were just wearing Qing military uniforms, and from under their helmets, there was no sign of a money rat's tail at all. And all of their faces looked like hunters had caught their prey.

Although he had never encountered this kind of thing before, at this time, Fan Liujian, who felt that something was wrong, did not dare to delay, and immediately began to pull the reins and turned around and left. Either way, we'll have to check the situation first.

Some of his men were stupidly asking, "Who are you?" ”

However, in response to them, it was the other party who accelerated and rushed over.

At this time, even if you are a fool, you know that the comer is not good, and you want to run away quickly.

However, they had all run all the way, and the horses were already tired, and it was a process of slowing down and speeding up to turn the horse's head and run again. On the other side, it had been recuperating for a long time, and it had already begun to accelerate, so the distance between the two sides soon began to approach.

"Ming army, they are pretending to be Ming army."

It was so close that someone turned to look and suddenly shouted in horror.

When Fan Liujian heard this, he was in a hurry, so he stood up from the horse, took out a letter from his arms, and was about to tear up the letter.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring, and then he felt that his vest hurt, and he could no longer sit still, and fell off his horse.

And the moment he fell off the horse, his eyes swept over, and it seemed that at the end of his sight, there seemed to be a faint movement.

It's the Ming army that has been in ambush for a long time! As soon as he had this thought, Fan Liujian slammed into the ground and was no longer conscious.

It didn't take long for these people to either be shot down or forced to stop and surrender. At the same time, the first person found what he wanted on Fan Liujian, who had already been shot to death. He finally felt a little relieved and said, "I finally lived up to the emperor's trust!" ”
