Chapter Ninety-Six: The Wind of the Hero
The incident mentioned by Su Qin made Jiang Chuan think about it solemnly.
Regarding the deaths of Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Yunyi, he has always felt that these two people died too unjustly.
Although Yuan Chonghuan once fought with him, he moved to swallow his own mind. But this does not prevent Jiang Chuan from having an impression of Yuan Chonghuan.
In his mind, Yuan Chonghuan is still a respectable opponent and a loyal courtier.
Not to mention Zhou Yunyi. Although he didn't do anything earth-shattering, he was able to speak out and fight to the death, in fact, he did his duty as a courtier.
Moreover, now that Deng Xiaojin's identity is involved, it is even more necessary to solve this matter.
If this matter is very tricky for others, there is almost no possibility of overturning the case for these two people. Because both of these men were executed by order of the emperor himself.
If you want to overturn the case, it is equivalent to directly confronting the emperor.
But for Jiang Chuan, there is no resistance to this matter at all.
It was an easy thing for him to do. And as Su Qin said, rehabilitating these two people will be of great help to enhance his prestige among the government and the opposition. Moreover, it can also completely solve Deng Xiaojin's identity problem and end her heart.
So Jiang Chuan didn't think about it for too long, and said solemnly: "What Mr. said is very true, these two people are models of courtiers, loyal and righteous people, and they are wronged by death, since this king is now regent, then they must redress the grievances of the two of them, so that their families can rest at ease, so that the two of them can rest in peace under the nine springs."
This matter will be handled by the cabinet, and the burden on the gentleman is already too much, so the king will not add a burden to the gentleman."
Su Qin nodded in agreement, he knew that Jiang Chuan was thinking about himself. I have done my duty to be able to raise this matter myself, and it is more appropriate for the cabinet to do it.
Jiang Chuan is a man of action, and he does what he says.
He immediately called the Chinese army's chief Sima Li Jian and asked him to personally go to Xia Junze, the first assistant of the cabinet, with his warrant.
Xia Junze has led several cabinet ministers and court officials of the Three Law Divisions in the past few days, and because of the rebellion of Liu Lin and others, the Duke of Wei, he has been so busy that he has not touched the ground.
Now that Liu Lin and the others have been beheaded, there is still some finishing work to be done, so Xia Junze has basically lived in the cabinet's duty room for the past few days, and he can't even take care of his home.
Of course, the reason why he did this, in addition to being busy, was also to make a good impression in front of the new ruler Jiang Chuan.
As the head of the cabinet, one of the most important things is the draft.
To put it simply, it is to make various handling suggestions for the official documents reported below.
According to the original process ticket, the excerpts after the ticket were drafted were sent to the palace, and then the eunuchs of the celebrant were approved for red.
The so-called approval of red refers to writing opinions in cinnabar on the official documents sent by the cabinet, agreeing or disagreeing.
Strictly speaking, the power of the celebrant is actually equivalent to acting as the secretary of the inner court for the emperor.
After the red fold approved by the celebrant supervisor, if the emperor has no problem after reading it, the eunuch with the palm print can finally stamp the emperor's seal. Then the whole process is over.
Now of course, this process has changed, the emperor has been completely locked in the deep palace, and the celebrant has naturally lost the right to approve red.
Now it's a matter of inconsequential matter, and the cabinet makes its own decisions and reports to the Regent's palace afterwards.
For some important matters, the cabinet first made preliminary proposals, and then sent the excerpts to the regent palace, which was finally approved by Jiang Chuan.
And Jiang Chuan would let Su Qin review the excerpts sent by the cabinet before making a final decision.
He gave this power to Su Qin because he knew that Su Qin was absolutely loyal and experienced.
As far as he is concerned, after more than a year of battlefield training, he has some experience in things on the battlefield. However, for the handling of internal affairs, many times he is still inexperienced, so he hopes that Su Qin can first review the excerpts from the cabinet.
If Su Qin and the cabinet agree on the same opinion, then Jiang Chuan will make a decision on this matter soon. If the two disagreed, Jiang Chuan would discuss further with Su Qin and finally make a decision.
So in fact, it means that Su Qin has now replaced the role of the celebrant and even has greater power.
When Xia Junze's scribe on duty reported the news sent by the regent's palace, he happened to be reviewing the excerpt about the riots caused by the soaring grain prices in the capital.
Because Jiangnan was captured by the Dashun army, the transportation was blocked, and the capital was cut off from food supplies.
The stock in the capital is getting smaller and smaller, and merchants naturally start hoarding in order to make more money, so many grain stores have closed their doors.
The people of the capital, who could not buy food, were naturally dissatisfied, and some people began to make trouble, and even began to smash grain stores. Shuntianfu has arrested a lot of people in the past few days, and the prison is almost full.
Since the Dashun army occupied Jiangnan, the price of grain in the capital has already soared, and now it is time to run out of grain.
For this matter, the only thing he can do now is to order the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to maintain order on the street. If he wants to completely solve this matter, the most fundamental way is to mobilize a large amount of grain from other places to enter the country, so as to stabilize prices and calm the people's minds, and he is trying to report this matter to the Regent's Palace.
Hearing that the regent palace had sent someone, he hurriedly asked people to invite the envoy of the palace in, and he himself went out of the duty room to greet him.
Li Qian, the chief of the Chinese army, strode into the cabinet office. happened to meet Xia Junze, who hurried out in a hurry.
Xia Junze couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the person who came was a tall military general with a cold face, thinking that it was about the army again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked. "Dare to ask the general's surname, what does His Highness command?" ”
Li Jian handed Jiang Chuan's warrant to Xia Junze and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shoufu, the specific matter, His Highness's warrant is very clear, you can see it at a glance." Before coming to this point in the end, His Royal Highness personally instructed that the cabinet could come up with an implementation plan as soon as possible, and then report it to His Highness for approval. ”
Xia Junze couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he saw that Li Jian said so solemnly, and hurriedly opened the warrant to read it quickly, and after reading it, his mood instantly became excited.
Regarding the death of Yuan Chonghuan and the death of Zhou Yunyi, Xia Junzhe actually has a very great sympathy.
felt that these two people died unjustly, especially Yuan Chonghuan, who was loyal to the Ming Empire, but was finally framed by the rogue, the emperor listened to the slander, cut him with a thousand knives, and Ling Chi was executed, and his death was unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The cause of his death is really extremely sympathetic.
He didn't expect that Jiang Chuan had just become regent, so he wanted to redress Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Yunyi.
This surprised him at the same time, and at the same time, Yu Jiangchuan's evaluation was at a higher level.
He felt it even more deeply. His Royal Highness the regent not only won a hundred battles on the battlefield, but also had a knack for governing the country and winning the hearts and minds of the people. From him, he felt a real wind of heroism, and a lord worthy of following and serving.
He knew that once this matter spread, it would be praised by the government and the opposition, and it would have a huge blessing effect on the regent's personal prestige. And it is of great significance for stabilizing people's hearts.
Xia Junzhe bowed and said, "Please report back to His Royal Highness the Regent." The minister will definitely handle this matter, and he will definitely not disappoint His Highness. ”
