Emperor Chongzhen's tone was very cold, so cold that the killing intent in his words couldn't be suppressed at all.

Wen Tiren was also constantly thinking about it in his heart.

Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang fought horses all his life and never lost a battle, Emperor Yonglewen seemed to have lost a battle and almost died in the hands of Jianwen, and few of the remaining emperors of the Ming Dynasty had really led soldiers.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has never been defeated in successive battles, and from the perspective of the emperor leading troops, Emperor Chongzhen has gone straight to the military level of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of his Zhu family.

At the very least, the current military department can be said to be a die-hard fan of Emperor Chongzhen, especially after angrily scolding the feuding Tatars, Emperor Chongzhen has begun to be mythologized in the army.

In terms of the ruthlessness of the officials, it is basically no worse than Zhu Yuanzhang, and much more ruthless than Zhu Laosi.

As for the people, Emperor Chongzhen alone can completely abuse the fifteen emperors in front of him, which is not much worse than Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the old Liu family, and I don't know how much the immortal tablet has offered.

If Emperor Chongzhen really wants to lift the table, I am afraid that there is really no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can stop it.

And the current Emperor Chongzhen is obviously ready to flip the table, and calling his people together is just a formality and a notice.

After Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to send the files of the officials sent by Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory to Wen Tiren and Fang Zhuangli, he said coldly: "Look, this is my humerus minister, this is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty!"

Open your mouth and close your mouth to let me be a ruler who rules by hanging the arch, but you see, take a good look, how long has it been since I left Nanjing, and they have begun to let themselves go? ”

The more Wen Tiren looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore in the back, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, these kingless and fatherless people are just punished, why should Your Majesty be angry with such a villain?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "If I don't get angry with them, who will I do with them?" On the one hand, he is holding the court's Yulu, and generally digging the corner of the Ming Dynasty, are these bastards planning to kill me to death, and then change an obedient emperor to come up and be a Ming monarch who rules by hanging arches? ”

Facing Wen Tiren and Xu Xianchun and others who knelt down together to plead guilty, Emperor Chongzhen's anger was obviously not so easy to dissipate, and he snorted coldly: "Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun will go to Jiangnan next time, and bring these bastard things into Beijing according to the law, I want to take a good look at these loyal ministers!"

The cabinet and the ministry have been busy in the past two days, and they have prepared all the manpower to replace them, and followed Xu Xianchun and them to Jiangnan to replace them directly.

I want to see if my Ming court really can't function without these bastard things, or if I take these bastard things, my Ming dynasty will be ruined right in front of me! ”

Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun, who had long been a little out of breath by the atmosphere in the palace, immediately bowed down to receive the order, and after leaving the palace, they each ordered the horses and went directly out of Beijing to Jiangnan.

Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, involving these many people at one time, nearly 10,000 officials and gentry, the land south of the Yangtze River is inevitably turbulent, is it not to start with officials at all levels?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Then let Jiangnan be completely chaotic, it's a big deal to break Jiangnan and start over!"

These bastard things, I give them face too much, so that they can't find the north of their beauty! ”

What does this have to do with the United States and the North?

Wen Tiren was a little confused about what these people's affairs had to do with the United States and Bei, but he felt that he was a little confused now.

But the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words, Wen Tiren understood it - it's a big deal to beat Jiangnan and start over!

This means that the current emperor has made all the preparations before flipping the table, and he really plans to kill in Jiangnan!

After returning to the cabinet, Wen Tiren had just sat down, and the others looked at Wen Tiren together.

Lai Zongdao pondered and said, "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Lord Wen this time?" ”

Wen Tiren picked up the tea on the table that was completely cold and drank it down, then wiped the tea that flowed down his beard, looked around and said, "Everyone, you haven't had any contact with those people in Nanjing recently, right?" ”

Lai Zongdao said with a smile: "Except for the exchange of official documents of the imperial court, there is not a single private letter, where is the connection?" ”

Jiang Dejing also smiled: "What the Lord said is good. Those people in Nanjing still don't have the same heart as us, they all play their own little ninety-nine, and the lower officials don't bother to pay attention to them. ”

Wen Tiren breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Listen to the advice of this official, if you have anything to do with those people, it is better to break it off as soon as possible." ”

Lai Zongdao said curiously: "Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to deal with these people with a heavy hand?" ”

Wen Tiren stared at Lai Zongdao for a long time, and saw that there was no other color on Lai Zongdao's face, so he spoke: "Hangzhou Lai didn't participate in it, right?" ”

Lai Zongdao sneered: "Even if they still have to recognize the lower officials, relying on the lower officials for a day, the lower officials will categorically not let these people participate in the peace!" ”

Wen Tiren said: "That's good." Before the old man came out of the palace, Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun had already left the palace first. ”

Although Wen Tiren's words were simple, they were like dropping a depth charge among the crowd.

Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun's reputation among the people is quite average, because the factory guard was aimed at officials rather than ordinary people from the beginning of its establishment.

As for the previous reputation among the people, it was also because the targets of these guys were all literati who had mastered the pen and the right to speak.

But in the officialdom, the reputation of Jinyi Wei's East and West Factory is simply a stinking existence, Xu Xianchun himself is called the living king of Hades, and Cao Huachun's reputation is also not much better.

And these two guys have already gone to Jiangnan first, so what kind of purge Jiangnan will be, everyone has a little bit of a plan in their hearts.

Judging from the historical records of Emperor Chongzhen's previous dispatch of Tiqi and fans, if there are not thousands of eight hundred people who die this time, it will not be a big deal!

After staring at the ministers present for a long time, Wen Tiren continued: "The factory guards went down to Jiangnan together, which means that there is no need for the old man to say anything, and everyone should ask for more blessings." ”

After finishing speaking, Wen Tiren simply shook his head, took leave from the cabinet, and went back home.

Fang Zhuangli, who returned to the ministry, was not as leisurely as Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren only needs to consider the candidates in the Nanjing cabinet, and there are other bigwigs in the Beijing cabinet to help find a way, but he has to work hard a lot.

Judging from the list in his hand, the entire Nanjing from the first rank to the seventh grade, twenty-seven levels of officials have participated, plus the entire land south of the Yangtze River, the number of officials involved has reached as many as 1,000.

And many of these need to be replaced by the Ministry of Officials - the list even contains eight or nine out of ten of the Nanjing Officials, do you still expect the Nanjing Ministry of Officials to choose people?

After summoning the left and right attendants and other horses, Fang Zhuangli sent the list that had been copied by the order, and said lightly: "It's all hard work today, when will the replacement be selected, and when will you go home." ”

The right attendant Gu Youyu said tentatively: "Today's a day? There are nearly 1,000 officials on this list, right? ”

Fang Zhuangli sneered: "It's not nearly a thousand, it's 1,275 people, from the first grade to the seventh grade, one radish and one pit."

Today, we will elect people, and tomorrow we will let these people go to Jiangnan early in the morning, ready to take over the vacant positions. ”

Zuo Shilang Zhang Mi said suspiciously: "Isn't my lord looking for me to be happy?" There is a vacancy of 1,275 people at one time, how can there ever be since the establishment of the dynasty?

Even if Xinming Island was newly developed at the beginning, it didn't vacate so many positions at one time, right? What's more, it's the land of Jiangnan? Could it be? ”

The coldness on Fang Zhuangli's face became heavier and heavier: "Some people are always looking for death, and no one can stop them, but won't there be so many vacant positions?" ”

Gu Youyu stood up with a snort and arched his hand: "The officials in the land south of the Yangtze River are six or seven out of ten, if there is a mess?"

What's more, at the moment, let alone finding out 1,275 officials, even if they can't even make up the number of 800! ”

Fang Zhuangli snorted coldly: "Fang also knows that he can't make it up for a while, but since His Majesty has confessed, he has to make it up if he can't make it up!"

In this way, the Jinshi who have been trained in the six walks have also caught out the top number, and the selected ones are arranged into low-grade officials such as county orders, and the rest are arranged on the higher-grade and more noble official positions! ”

Gu Youyu arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, even if you add those Jinshi, you won't be able to make it up for a while!" ”

Fang Zhuangli's face also darkened: "Do you want Lord Gu to go home and rest first, and wait for Fang to find all the manpower before arranging it for Lord Gu?" ”

After Gu Youyu retreated, Fang Zhuangli continued: "This official is not afraid to tell you and others that Xu Xianchun of Jinyi Wei and Cao Huachun of Dongchang have already taken the first step to go to Jiangnan, and these 1,275 people are the people they want to take."

If it is late, Your Majesty will blame it, and the official will not be happy, so don't think about it! ”

……

The Xu family of Huating in Songjiang Mansion has produced a capable person.

Xu Jie, in the study, there is a banner of "return the lord with blessings, return the ministers with government affairs, and return the public with the punishment reward".

Xu Jie is not greedy, it is his son who is greedy, and he got 400,000 acres of fertile land in his hometown of Songjiang Mansion behind Lao Xu's back - whether others believe it or not, Lao Xu believes it anyway!

After killing Yan Song, Jiajing later found out that Lao Yan didn't have much money, so he wanted to ask Lao Xu for an explanation, and then Lao Xu took the first step to let Jiajing give an explanation - to ascend to Bliss.

Since Xu Jie, although the Xu family has been dormant for a while because of Hai Rui, after using the silver to drive Hai Rui away, the Xu family has taken a step further.

Even since Jiajing to the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Xu family has never produced a cabinet chief, but its influence in Songjiang Mansion is more than before.

The contemporary head of the family, Xu Wenxuan, is the direct descendant of Xu Jie, and is feasting the heads of the Hu family, the Wu family, the Chen family, and the Wang family.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Wenxuan waved his hand, causing more than ten singers in the lobby to retreat, and raised his wine glass and said: "You are all busy people with all kinds of opportunities, Xu is fortunate to invite you to drink today, it is really a blessing for three lives, please!" ”

Hu Changfeng, the head of the Hu family, raised his glass and smiled: "Master Xu is too polite. In this land south of the Yangtze River, you have to rely on Master Xu a lot, please! ”

After everyone drank it all, Xu Wenxuan put down the wine glass, sighed and said: "Things have come to this point today, it is already a situation where the arrow is on the Hong, and it has to be sent.

Xu has exhausted all the relationships, and now the adults' recitals should have arrived in the capital, I don't know where you are? ”

Hu Changfeng groaned: "We are naturally the same as Master Xu, presumably the one in the capital is having a headache, right?" Six or seven out of ten officials in Jiangnan, and even close to seven or eight out of ten officials are impressively listed, even if that one is ruthless, I am afraid that he will have to scruple one or two? ”

Wu Zhen, the head of the Wu family, sneered: "How did I not have a branch of the Wu family before, do you still remember?" It's just that some goods were taken from the sea, and they were all over the house, and they were all over the place, and they were even three tribes!

I won't tell you anything, if it wasn't for the early separation of the family, I'm afraid that I, Wu, wouldn't be able to drink with you today! ”

Xu Wenxuan and the others are all related to each other - at the beginning, the Wu branch was killed by the three clans, and the heads were rolling, and it was Xu Xianchun, the living king of Yama, who personally led people to do it.

To say that you are not afraid in your heart is to talk about calves.

After pondering for a while, Xu Wenxuan continued: "If it is possible, no one wants to come to this point.

At the beginning, we all paid taxes honestly, but we were not like other unscrupulous wealthy businessmen, who made a thousand taels of silver but reported a loss, and never paid a penny of taxes!

However, even so, the master in the capital was still not satisfied, and thought about registering the hidden and runaway households.

What should I do when the time comes? The people in the south of the Yangtze River are withering, and they can't tolerate that master coming again! ”

Hu Changfeng said: "What Master Xu said is very true, last month Hu Mou's family earned ten taels of silver, but he paid taxes according to the regulations, and he paid one or two taels of silver!"

If that master registers those hidden households, runaways, or something, I am afraid that Hu's family will lose money year after year, and I will not be qualified to drink with you in the future. ”

Xu Wenxuan held the wine glass playfully and said to Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family: "What did Master Chen say? Are you ready for everything or something? ”

Chen Qi smiled: "Which one of the people who eats our bowl of rice doesn't pin their heads to the waistband of their pants?" The 20,000 strong men have already been prepared, and it is just the things that Master Xu is missing. ”

Xu Wenxuan also smiled: "Thanks to the fact that the master never remembered to check the things in the school army in previous years, Xu's family has some crossbows and firearms from the Apocalypse period, as well as a few tiger squat cannons. ”

Wang Wenyi, the head of the Wang family, said with a smile: "Coincidentally, my Wang family also has a lot of these things, and I also have some people available." ”

Xu Wenxuan nodded and said, "Just like what was discussed before, we can come up with a total of 100,000 horses, it depends on how the master in the capital chooses." ”

PS: It's okay to sacrifice "The Son of the Ming Dynasty" today, anyway, the big guy who is so high in the rankings, it's no problem to sacrifice it.
