After the end of the dynasty, it was the small court meeting of the Wenhua Hall as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Now there are only three cabinet ministers, but they are much cleaner, and the efficiency of deliberations is not what they used to be.

The emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, changed into civilian clothes, and rested for a while. By the time he came to the Wenhua Palace, the three ministers were already waiting.

After seeing the three of them salute, Zhu Daming said: "Today's court is discussing all matters, and you Aiqing must handle it as soon as possible." In particular, Li Aiqing should speed up the examination and approval of the eunuch case. Agree on a list as soon as possible, and I will prepare to officially announce it to the world on New Year's Day, the day of the change of the Emperor's Palace. ”

Li Guoqi bowed down to receive the order. It's not that Li Guowei doesn't do his best, it's really a bit big for this project, although he is suspected of being a eunuch, but after all, he is not a member of the eunuch party, and the so-called eunuch party is just a very loose alliance of interests.

Some courtiers took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, not necessarily because they really wanted to form a party with Wei Zhongxian for personal gain and bring disaster to the world, it should be said that some were to avoid trouble and protect themselves, some were to rise to high positions, and some were squeezed out by the Donglin Party to find a way out for their careers.

In short, there are all kinds of reasons, especially some peripheral personnel of the eunuch party, except for some interests relationship, they are not deeply involved with the eunuch party, how to characterize and convict such a person is really a headache.

But no matter how much headache it is, Li Guowei has no way to continue to delay, and a list must be agreed as soon as possible.

Zhu Daming saw that Li Guowei silently received the decree, and was silent, so he continued to say to him: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, similar to the Five Tigers and Five Biao, and it is extremely harmful to the government and government, it can be determined as a first-class, and so on, according to the size of the crime of rebellion, and the depth of involvement with the Wei Party, it is convicted in different grades, and if it can be convicted, it will be convicted of several classes, and the first class will be killed and the family will be convicted, the second class will be convicted of the family, the second class will be exiled, and the fourth class or less, the Qing and others can be convicted as appropriate. ”

Seeing that the emperor had thought it through to this point, Li Guowei could be regarded as further clarifying the emperor's determination, and once again bowed down to receive the decree, expressed his stance to act according to the decree as soon as possible, and resolutely completed the conviction of the eunuch case before the Yuan was reformed, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, recently, there is a statement that the official Shangshu impeached Yuan Chonghuan during his tenure as governor of Liaodong, built a shrine for Wei Wei and sent a congratulatory message, and this matter has been found to be substantiated. And His Majesty was not long ago the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo, I don't know how to deal with this matter? ”

Of course, Zhu Daming also knew about this matter, which was also one of the arguments for Yuan Chonghuan to be criticized later, but he also knew very well that Yan Mingtai was the initiator in this matter, and Yuan Chonghuan was only a joint name as the governor of Liaodong. But the joint name is also an attitude, and now it is the evidence of the crime of Ah Wei Wei!

Zhu Daming didn't speak, but Sun Chengzong spoke: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan and Yan Mingtai and others jointly signed a letter to ask for the establishment of a shrine for Wei Wei, and the minister heard about it, this matter was initiated by Yan Mingtai, and Yuan Chonghuan just had to join the name, and soon after the incident, he was not on good terms with the ministers of the prison army sent by Wei Wei, and he resigned.

"The minister thinks that Yuan Chonghuan's joint request for the establishment of the ancestral hall is absolutely different from Pan Ruzhen's initiative to establish the ancestral hall, and it must not be the same as the crime. At that time, there were many civil and military officials who had no choice but to ask for the establishment of the ancestral hall, and if they were guilty of this matter alone, it would be too much, and the ministers were afraid that the world would be in an uproar. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”

Li Guowei did not hold on to Yuan Chonghuan, but in order to find out the emperor's attitude and set a standard for such cases of rebellion, what kind of rebellion is considered rebellion, and what is not considered rebellion.

Zhu Daming listened to Sun Chengzong's words, knew his thoughts, and asked Shi Fenglai's attitude, and Shi Fenglai said that he would ask the emperor to make his own decision.

So Zhu Daming said: "What Qing and others said are reasonable, although such rebellious behaviors must not be investigated, there is no need to investigate deeply. In my opinion, the initiator can be condemned as a rebel, while the co-sponsor can not be prosecuted.

Since the initiator is Yan Mingtai, then Yan Mingtai is guilty of rebellion, which can be included below the fourth class, and Yuan Chonghuan is a joint name of last resort, which is extenuating and will not be investigated. All other similar bullet stamps are handled in this way. ”

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong immediately said, "Your Majesty Shengming." Li Guoyi also gave a sigh of relief, and he could bow down and receive the order.

In an instant, Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jiliao, was dismissed, and the emperor sent Jinyiwei to arrest Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, and Liu Zhixuan, the governor of Caojiang, were overthrown by three local governors within one day.

This emperor's mind is really difficult to grasp, this is Shi Fenglai's true thoughts at this moment.

And for the emperor's practice of eliminating evil and acting vigorously, Sun Chengzong and Li Guoqi applauded unanimously in their hearts, put aside the past, and wanted to remove a local governor, and the court did not know how long to argue.

But after these people are removed, who will take over has become a problem, and Shi Fenglai, who is also the secretary of the ministry, is naturally more concerned about this matter.

"Your Majesty, now the governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Caojiang, Liu Zhixuan, and the governor of Jiliao, Yan Mingtai, are all guilty of the Wei Party, and the vacant position of governor is still to be made clear by Your Majesty."

Zhu Daming listened to Shi Fenglai's words, and pondered for a moment, although he knew something about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know everything, what he knew was only the general trend of the late Ming Dynasty, just some more representative events and figures, no matter how specific he was, he couldn't say that he was ugly, so he said: "Is there a suitable candidate for Qing and others?" ”

Shi Feng looked at the other two and took the lead in saying: "The position of the governor of Jiliao is very important, and those who need to know the affairs of Liao can let it go, and now the minister of the governor of Jiliao is a personal choice." It's just that Wang Zhichen only took office in July this year, and now he has been reappointed in less than half a year, which is probably not appropriate. Although there are people with the right rank in the DPRK, most of them have never served in the Nine Sides. Your Majesty is still to be aware of it. ”

This is equivalent to not saying it, Wang Zhichen is indeed a candidate, but although this person is decent, but he is not capable, and now he is put in the position of Jiliao Governor, which has exceeded his ability, and he has not been in office for a long time before he is reappointed, which inevitably gives people a sense of child's play. Zhu Daming nodded, and then looked at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong then said: "Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong, is a suitable candidate, but His Majesty has been appointed as the governor of the three sides not long ago, and now he is on the way to the resignation of His Majesty in Beijing. ”

Can't let Yuan Chonghuan serve as the Jiliao Governor again, this is something that Zhu Daming has decided a long time ago, so Zhu Daming was noncommittal to Sun Chengzong's words, and looked at Li Guoyi with an inquiring gaze. Li Guowei now seems to be a lonely minister, everything is based on official affairs, and he has not much selfishness.

Sure enough, Li Guowei said: "Your Majesty, if there is no suitable candidate, the governor of Jiliao might as well be withdrawn and not appointed." Nowadays, in the land of Shanhaiguan, there are not only the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, but also the Shanhai Town General Military Mansion, as well as the Yamen of the Ministry of Soldiers, with many institutions and overlapping powers.

"And now there are only Jinzhou, Songshan, and Ningyuan in Liaodong, and there are only Jiliao Governors, and Liaodong Governors, and at the same time, the cities and cities have general soldiers, and the ministers think that the Jiliao Governor can be abolished, and the power is unified outside the Guanli, and they can all be attributed to the Jiliao Governor."

When Zhu Daming heard this, he said in his heart that this is a solution, in short, the Jiliao Governor and the Jiliao Governor can keep one.

Previously, Zhu Daming was also inexplicable when he learned about the institutional setup of Liaodong, and later learned that this was all caused by party strife.

Ningyuan City is the Xingcheng of later generations, the old city of Xingcheng until the 21st century, still intact the ancient city of Ningyuan, the most important building in it is the Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

After the Jiliao Governor's Mansion was moved to Ningyuan, the courtiers were worried that once Liaodong fell, it would be difficult to protect the back road, so they simply set up the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Shanhaiguan.

The Jiliao Governor's Mansion was in charge of the north of Shanhaiguan, and the Jiliao Governor's Mansion was in charge of the Jingdong Prefectures south of Shanhaiguan, and ensured the logistics supply of the Liaodong operation.

Of course, it is difficult to say the role played by the Jiliao Governor's Mansion after it was set up, although the general army of Shanhai Town was managed to the death, but it did not play its due role in pacifying Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Daming suddenly had an idea, the governor of Jiliao is located in Shanhaiguan, if it is to govern Liaodong, it will form a constraint on the governor of Jiliao, if it ignores the military and political affairs of Liaodong, then there are only several prefectures in Jingdong, and it is enough to set up a governor, and there is no need to set up a governor.

However, in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there were several defensive battles in Beijing to deal with the invasion of Jianyu, and there was no governor around Gyeonggi, so it was difficult to unify the powers and form a joint force.
