Section 200 The Great Pilgrimage

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Chongzhen is diligent in government, 365 days a year, every day, never stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the civil and military officials do not need to go to the palace to listen to the government on the two days of the new moon every month, that is, the first and fifteenth days of the first month of each month, which is the so-called great court meeting.

At this time, just after Yin, the ministers crossed the noon gate and crossed the Jinshui Bridge to the square, and a few of them were in a trance, but no matter how sleepy and tired they were, they didn't dare to yawn and rub their eyes.

Otherwise, it would be a big mistake to let the picket imperial history write it down, and the only way to do it is to pretend to fix your hair but secretly turn around and yawn.

Of course, it's not forbidden to talk to each other and whisper to each other.

Several elders of the Donglin Party even held a group in private, bowing their heads together to discuss whether the recent trend of the court situation would have a bad impact on the Donglin Party.

It didn't take long for the bell of the morning dynasty to finally ring. The ministers stopped talking, and lined up one by one and walked towards the Taihe Palace.

The new first assistant Xue Guoguan wears a crown of seven beams, a purple Ming robe, and an ivory wat in one hand, standing at the head of a group of civil officials, which can be described as complacent.

He is a native of Hancheng County, Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, and has been a scholar in the forty-seventh year of Wanli.

Originally, he was a remnant of the eunuch party, but when Chongzhen investigated the eunuch party's reverse case in the early years, he was included in the list of reverse cases and was one of the dozens of people who missed the net.

During the Apocalypse, Xue Guoguan, who served as the head of the household department, took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, cracked down on Donglin people, and successively impeached Xiong Mingyu, the imperial history of the Jiangdu, Xiao Jingao, the squire of the military department, and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department.

In the early years of Chongzhen, when he investigated the eunuch rebellion case, he was exposed by the official.

In order to divert his attention and cooperate with Wen Tiren's attack on Qian Qianyi, he deliberately muddied the waters, slandered Shen Weibing and Xu Yuqing for the main alliance of Donglin, and manipulated the addition of cabinet members with Qu Shiyun in an attempt to evade his investigation.

This ploy did not succeed, and upright officials impeached him one after another, and under the pressure of public opinion, he had to resign.

But people's opportunities are magical, and he has always hated Donglin people, and he was appreciated by Wen Tiren.

In June of the tenth year of Chongzhen, before Wen Tiren was dismissed, he secretly recommended this person to Chongzhen.

Although Emperor Chongzhen dismissed Wen Tiren's official, he did not doubt his "Pu Zhong", and without consideration, he promoted Xue Guoguan to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, and became the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen regarded him as a shadow of Wen Tiren.

This time, he took advantage of Qin Haoming's east wind to sit in the position of first assistant five months earlier than in history.

And what he has to do is to help Qin Haoming sit in the position of governor of Fujian and Guangzhou.

For him, it doesn't matter who sits in that position, the key is His Majesty's appreciation.

The former first assistant Liu Yuliang was because he shirked Qin Haoming's age, seniority and other issues, and now he has been cut to the people and is idle at home.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived, and the officials are silent!"

Cao Huachun, the eunuch of Si Li Bingbi, the governor of Dongchang, and the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, remembered the sharp rooster voice.

This was the last time Cao Huachun accompanied Chongzhen to the court, and he begged for leave due to illness, and asked Emperor Chongzhen three times.

It was only at this time that Cao Huachun received Chongzhen's permission to return to his hometown.

Behind him, Wang Chengen, who will be in charge of replacing him in the future, is wearing a python robe, holding a dust, standing solemnly beside him.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Under the leadership of Xue Guoguan, the ministers bowed and saluted and shouted slogans.

"Everyone, all of you, love Qing Ping! There is something to play, and nothing to retreat. ”

Even though he repeated the same words thousands of times, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair in a court robe, still meticulous and tried to embody the royal majesty.

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, Wu Weiye, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward and played Chen Shizheng:

"Just after Jiannu Koubian today, Gyeonggi, Shandong, Hebei and other places have been devastated.

His Majesty's edict of grief at the moment, compassion for others and sin for oneself, thinking of blame and fear of disasters, hanging oneself for loyalty, rewarding merit and prohibiting violence, so that the fathers and children will be sad and angry, and the people's hearts will be full of anger, and the fighting spirit will be doubled.

Linqing, only one state, Jia people buy soldiers, and use thieves, which is a great disaster.

Fortunately, Qin Haoming, the general of the Tianxiong Army in the Lu Inspector's Army, was born out of thin air, and saw through the cunning of the Fan family, the Wang family, the Liang family and other businessmen.

He was captured one day, and the three clans were beheaded everywhere, so as to remind the merchants of the world not to forget their righteousness and ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Wu Aiqing is reasonable, but the three clans are exempt, and just after the chaos, only the first evil will be punished, so as not to panic."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Wu Weiye bowed down and returned to the Wenchen train, for him, today's task has been completed. How could the court boss go into battle shirtless, he was the pawn.

Next, Zheng Qiqing stood up in the middle of the military department and said:

"Your Majesty, the crime of the wreck of the Wu Zhuchen has now been agreed, except for the mistake of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, everything else has been implemented, please make it clear to Your Majesty.

There are other crimes to be punished, but there is merit to be rewarded, so that the rewards and punishments can be clear, and the soldiers are hard, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment! ”

"The crime of the civil and military ministers being wrecked shall be carried out according to the previous court discussion, and the other meritorious soldiers will be sorted out clearly, and then they can be sparse.

Today's court meeting only discusses the first three people, what do you think Aiqing? ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his crown and said indifferently.

"Yes!"

The courtiers were neat.

This time, Jiannu Koubian did not return with a full load as usual, and it is difficult to say who won and lost, and it also aroused the morale of the courtiers.

Yang Sichang secretly complained in his heart, and he really didn't want to participate in this court meeting, but Chongzhen's instructions made him have to stand up and say:

"Your Majesty, the most successful result of this battle is the officers and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army under Governor Lu.

The first three who killed the enemy, Wei Chen felt that it should be Governor Lu, Commander Qin, and General Zu.

Among them, the officers and men of the Tianxiong Army killed more than 20,000 enemies, with 16,300 heads, and the Zukuanbian Army had 3,200 heads. Your Majesty, please make it clear. ”

After speaking, he returned to the courtier train expressionlessly.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and shook his head unconsciously, Yang Sichang can have it, but the pattern seems to be as Qin Haoming said, the amount is small.

With iron-like data in front of you, why not be willing?

However, there is no gold and no one is perfect, so it is inconvenient to be demanding.

"Lu Aiqing's contribution this time is in the community, and it is very good! Can you tell the courtiers about the training measures? ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say how to praise it, but he took this opportunity to ask this question, which was well-intentioned and had other profound meanings.

"When the minister first arrived in Xuanfu, each battalion had officers and soldiers, and they had always been pretending to be false. Weichen is deliberately concise, and if he has a amount, he will seek a soldier and practice at any time.

Therefore, during the five years of training the Tianxiong Army, not a single soldier was paid. ”

Lu Xiangsheng stood up and bowed in reply.

"Aiqing's training method, how is it called the world?"

"Most of the soldiers set up by the quota have the original salary, but they can be used for practical training, and the soldiers are not in vain. That is, the nuclear soldier is fully paid. If the soldiers are not trained, it will not be beneficial to take measures. ”

"Then how exactly should the troops be trained?"

"What Wei Chen saw was only practiced by generals and guerrillas. For example, if a general or guerrilla selects 1,000 people, a total of 100 will be selected, and the responsibility will be in accordance with the art of war. If there is a person who does not reach it, it will be dealt with by military law! ”

"How?"

"The key is to get the right people. If the drum casts people, the profit will return to the public nuisance, otherwise it will be in the private room. ”

"Are your subordinates as handsome as Aiqing?"

"This time to build a slave Koubian, Weichen can be described as very difficult and at a loss in the early stage. Fortunately, Qin Haoming, the son of Linpu, joined the army at a time of crisis and turned the tide.

During this period, Wechen communicated with him a lot, and his talent was better than Wechen! ”

"What is his character?"
