"Don't worry, the emperor will do it!" Wang Chengen nodded and said respectfully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and did not continue to say anything, this matter is arranged like this, and it can be regarded as a complete explanation.

Soon the news spread, the first assistant of the cabinet Shi Fenglai to Zhishi, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded Shi Fenglai, and Yin Shi Fenglai had a son as a hereditary brocade guard thousand households. Although Shi Fenglai returned to his hometown, he still enjoyed the three-grade treatment given by the court.

Shi Feng came to Zhishi, although it was a big event, but the ministers in the court were prepared, and it was not so shocking.

Since the fall of Wei Zhongxian, Shi Fenglai began to resign from the government, and everyone knows that the emperor will approve it sooner or later. After experiencing Emperor Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, Shi Fenglai carried a lot of pots for Emperor Chongzhen, and he also obeyed Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree, and Emperor Chongzhen gave him this treatment as he deserved.

Although many people are still unwilling and want to turn over the old things of Shi Fenglai during the Wei Zhongxian period, there is no reaction, everyone knows that this is the conclusion of Shi Fenglai's coffin.

For the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong is naturally the most suitable, and no one can say anything about this. Since Sun Chengzong was activated by Emperor Chongzhen, everyone knows that Sun Chengzong will definitely be like the cabinet, and he will definitely be the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, after all, his qualifications and abilities are there.

Shi Fenglai Zhishi and Sun Chengzong's entry into the cabinet represent the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.

The era of Wei Zhongxian's power was over, and the entire Ming Dynasty officially declared that it had entered the era of Sun Chengzong's cabinet and the era of Emperor Chongzhen.

After the cabinet was replaced, the matter of Shaanxi was also immediately resolute and resolute to come up with a strategy, Emperor Chongzhen set a strategy based on suppression, and ordered Wang Zhichen to lead the four towns of Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu and Taiyuan to cleanse Shaanxi and exterminate all the anti-thieves.

In the palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua in front of him, and asked with a smile, "How is the injury on your body?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave's injury has long been healed, and the saint is much healthier than before!" Fang Zhenghua hurriedly bowed and saluted and said loudly.

"Very good, it's good that you're in good health, this time there is really an errand for you to do!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua, handed a list to Wang Chengen beside him, and motioned for him to hand it to Fang Zhenghua: "Look at this list!" ”

Fang Zhenghua respectfully took the list, looked up and down, and found that he was not familiar with it, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"This time I asked you to go to Shaanxi, the names on this are some anti-thief bandits, after you arrive in Shaanxi, once you find that these people are captured alive, directly put people out of the army, and directly see through and kill them, understand?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

On this list, Emperor Chongzhen put Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong all on it, and they all had records of being captured by the imperial court in history, but they were all fake surrenders, and they rebelled again after recuperating their strength, and none of these people could stay.

Li Zicheng entered the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, and Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind that this time it would definitely not be allowed to happen.

"Slave understands!" Fang Zhenghua nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor can rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely do things beautifully!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said again: "This time you enter Shaanxi, there will be 3,000 new troops with you, and the commander is Li Banghua. The grain and grass recently raised by the imperial court were escorted by them for the imperial court's relief of Shaanxi. ”

"However, the food in the imperial court is a little insufficient, and when you arrive in Shaanxi, you have to raise some on the spot, do you know how to do it?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua and asked with a smile.

Fang Zhenghua was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "The slave maid has long heard that the local officials in Shaanxi have colluded with merchants and oppressed the people, and they are insatiable. The slaves and maids must be the emperor to clarify the rule of Shaanxi officials, rectify corrupt officials, and severely punish those landlords who are rich and unkind. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, Fang Zhenghua has matured a lot, and he can quickly comprehend his meaning, and Emperor Chongzhen is very satisfied.

As for putting Dongchang in Shaanxi to spread wild, Emperor Chongzhen had long been ready to do so, and he would send them to clean up and squeeze.

The ordinary people who suffered from the drought, whether it was Fang Zhenghua or other eunuchs in Dongchang, they looked down on them, and all of them could be targeted by rich businessmen. The reason why Wei Zhongxian's reputation is bad is because of his means of getting money for the imperial court.

Exploitation from the rich merchant gentry, how can they say good things about you, you must know that the public opinion of this era is in their hands.

Fangzhenghua is the eunuch prepared by Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Zetian used it for Junchen and others, and Emperor Chongzhen can only use Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's reputation being too bad, Emperor Chongzhen would want to use Wei Zhongxian, of course, Wei Zhongxian's strength was too inflated, and he had a tendency to be big, which was also an important reason, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to be mastered by an old eunuch.

Killing Wei Zhongxian has many benefits for Emperor Chongzhen, such as establishing prestige and establishing prestige, but these do not prevent Emperor Chongzhen from cultivating one himself.

Shaanxi is the place where Fang Zhenghua brightened the butcher's knife, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua, and said in a deep voice: "Do a good job, Li Banghua is a messenger, where it is inconvenient for him to do it, you can all stretch out your hand, whether it is a corrupt official or a hereditary officer, understand?" ”

"Slave understands!" Fang Zhenghua nodded, he naturally heard the killing intent in Emperor Chongzhen's words, this is to be ruthless himself!

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and said again: "I will write a letter to King Jin, and ask him to contribute a little, and I will not say hello to the emperor's relatives in Shaanxi, but you can focus on taking care of it!" ”

The royal relatives also moved? Although Fang Zhenghua was surprised, he didn't dare to show it on his face, and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"For those royal relatives who have great grievances and have done a lot of evil, I will allow you to raid their homes and directly demote them to commoners." Emperor Chongzhen said in a very light tone: "For these moths who have received the favor of the country in the world, but do not want to repay them, it is nothing to kill a few parties and bleed!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen is going to implement the integration of the officials and gentry to pay taxes, these people will definitely make a hindrance from it, and it is also necessary to kill a few chickens to respect the monkeys first.

"Slave understands!" Fang Zhenghua complained bitterly in his heart, it seems that his knife is not very easy to be this time!

"Okay, go back and prepare, set off in seven days, go back to Dongchang to select some competent people, don't go to Shaanxi to let people play tricks, after all, that's their territory, don't make any mistakes!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chengen to go down.
