Chapter 81: Eyes on SX

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen say Li Banghua, Lu Xiangsheng's face was full of joy, but he didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to transfer Li Banghua to do things with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Banghua's official reputation is very good, Lu Xiangsheng has been friends for a long time, but he has never met.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is still looking forward to the cooperation between the two, after all, it is said that Li Banghua is not afraid of the powerful, is not greedy and does not bend the law, and is a good official.

Wang Chengen listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words, nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked out, preparing to summon Li Banghua.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man to be brought in, his figure was a little thin, but he was still very energetic. Wearing a civil official's official uniform, it is very well-cut and clean, but it looks a little faded.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Li Banghua's official mansion had faded not for other reasons, but because he had worn it for too long and washed it too many times. On his own Longshu case, there are the results of Jin Yiwei's secret investigation of Li Banghua.

Li Banghua's family conditions have not been good since he was a child, it can be said that he was born in a bitter cold family, and his father and son studied together, but his father failed repeatedly, but he still did not plan to give up studying, and his father and his father worked hard for each other. In the year when they went to Beijing to take the exam, because they really couldn't afford to buy a horse or even a donkey, the father and son went all the way to the capital, and their shoes wore out several pairs.

Even so, after Li Banghua became an official, he was still able to be honest and self-controlled, except for the so-called silver money agreed in the officialdom, there was no corruption at all.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Banghua and sighed in his heart, there are not many officials in the Ming Dynasty who can find such officials at this time.

Li Banghua's current position is the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, the governor of the river, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was the governor of the river. This official position has been mentioned countless times in later TV dramas, because this is a very, very easy official position for corrupt officials.

There is no other reason, the oil and water of the river governor is too rich, it is like an oil depot, and it is too difficult to enter and get out cleanly.

"Minister Li Banghua participates in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Banghua also saw Lu Xiangsheng, he just looked at Lu Xiangsheng a little familiar, but he was not very familiar, after all, Lu Xiangsheng was a talented jinshi behind him.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, waved his hand to let Li Banghua stand up, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is exempt, I rushed all the way, I worked hard!" ”

Li Banghua hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, and the journey went smoothly." ”

Glancing at Li Banghua, Emperor Chongzhen once again walked to the back of the dragon book, leaned on the dragon chair and said, "You have already seen Sun Aiqing before you came, right?" He's already told you about it, right? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already seen Master Sun!" Li Banghua nodded and said.

"That's good, I'm rambling on it!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said directly: "Your duties are very simple, count and calculate the personnel and accounts of the Beijing camp, solve the problem of empty salaries and shortages, and eliminate the old and weak, understand?" ”

Li Banghua nodded and said, "The minister understands, the emperor can rest assured!" ”

"As for the standard of the old and weak, this person next to you has the final say!" Emperor Chongzhen pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "His name is Lu Xiangsheng, for a period of time in the future, you will all have to work together, he is the squire of the military department, and he holds the title of the left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace." ”

"As for you, it's obviously not suitable to do this, so be the right waiter of the Ministry of War!" Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "For the position of the Ducha Academy, I will give you a left deputy imperial envoy, the same as Lu Xiangsheng." ”

Like Lu Xiangsheng's official position, Li Banghua was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

With his original official position, the position given by Emperor Chongzhen now can be regarded as a promotion at most, and it is not overused.

"Do you two have any other questions?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two of them and said expressionlessly: "If there is no problem, I will let the cabinet draft the decree, you go back and prepare, and after the decree is issued, the matter will be supported as soon as possible." ”

"I don't give you a lot of time, three months, and I will see results in three months."

The two of them glanced at each other, and their hearts were tight, but Emperor Chongzhen's meaning was obviously that there was no room for turnaround, so he nodded and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will do their best, and they will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" ”

Seeing the two of them bow down and retreat, Emperor Chongzhen stretched his waist, glanced at Wang Chengen beside him, and asked, "Is there anything else going on today?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the king's minister is back!" Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen and spoke.

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, Wang Zhichen came back? His heart suddenly moved, this emperor Chongzhen, the minister of the king, was not a stranger at all, a relatively famous figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but he was famous not because of his merits or anything, but because he was a standard soy sauce party.

Wang Zhichen has served as the governor and supervisor many times, but most of them are transitional in nature, where something happened, Wang Zhichen went to stabilize the situation, once the court decided on a new candidate, Wang Zhichen would be taken away immediately, basically hit a soy sauce and left.

There were even times when Wang Zhichen had not yet arrived, and he immediately received the holy decree of dismissal.

Emperor Chongzhen doesn't need to think about it to know how depressed this king's minister is, he definitely can't wait to hit the south wall.

Looking at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said to Wang Chengen: "Go and bring me a copy of the resume of the king's ministers!" "Emperor Chongzhen is ready to study it well, and it can be used as a soy sauce party, and Emperor Chongzhen also feels that there must be a suitable position for him.

After such a long run-in, Wang Chengen has become accustomed to the strange words that come out of Emperor Chongzhen from time to time, such as resume, Wang Chengen already knows that what Emperor Chongzhen wants is the record of Wang Zhichen as an official over the years, and the article in the ministry.

Soon, Wang Zhichen's resume was taken to Emperor Chongzhen, and when he looked at it, Emperor Chongzhen himself smiled.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he replaced Wu Yongxian as the governor of Jiliao. After the Battle of Ningyuan, Wang Zhichen replaced Gao Di, who was dismissed for not aiding Ningyuan and Juehua Island, and became the economic strategy of Liaodong. He operated the Guanningjin defense line with Yuan Chonghuan, and had a dispute with Yuan Chonghuan over the retention of Man Gui. Yuan Shangjuan asked to send him to guard other towns, so Man Gui was recalled to BJ and Wang Zhichen strongly objected, and asked the imperial court to order him to guard Shanhaiguan.

In order to alleviate the contradictions between all parties, the imperial court ordered Wang Zhichen to guard the Guannei, and the soldiers and generals outside the Guanguan were all dispatched by Yuan Chonghuan. After that, Yuan Chonghuan repented and asked the court to follow the advice of the king's ministers.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan returned to his hometown, and Wang Zhichen acted as the governor and governor of Liaodong. In the first year of Chongzhen, he was dismissed from the position of Jiliao Governor and was held by Yuan Chonghuan.

Generally speaking, Wang Zhichen was the loser in the struggle with Yuan Chonghuan, and Emperor Chongzhen had to sigh that Yuan Chonghuan's fighting ability was so strong. First there was the king in Jin, and then there were the king's ministers, and no one had ever been the governor of Yuan.

But seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen set his eyes on a person's name, that is: Man Gui!

Man Gui is a famous person, although he is a Mongolian, but he has great achievements in battle, and he died on the battlefield.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led his troops to bypass the Shanhai Pass and approached the capital, and Man Gui took 5,000 people from Datong Qinwang, but was completely annihilated by Huang Taiji, and Man Gui also died in battle. It can be said that the death was very heroic and very dignified.

Thinking of Man Gui's death, Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Mao Wenlong, thought of Mao Wenlong, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Yuan Chonghuan.

The thought of finding something to do for Yuan Chonghuan that had just risen was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

However, Emperor Chongzhen thought of another role of Man Gui, that is, in SX! It doesn't have much effect to put Man Gui in Liaodong, but it's different to put him in SX.

"Wang Chengen, hang up the map for me!" After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Wang Chengen.

Things to do in Liaodong, and things in SX can't be delayed! After all, in history, Huang Taiji besieged BJ several times, but it was the SX peasant army that broke BJ, and Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to slack off at all. The best thing to do now is to provide disaster relief in SX to prevent an uprising.

However, Emperor Chongzhen can only think about it, because there is no money, no food, and no one.

Needless to say, there is no money in the treasury, and the more than 10 million taels in his own treasury are just a drop in the bucket. If there is no food, it will be simpler, natural disasters continue to occur in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, grain production has been seriously reduced, and a large number of landowners do not pay grain, and the imperial court has no food at all.

Spend money to buy it, go to collect grain, then it's over, a lot of people are hoarding, and it is imminent to increase grain production, but it will be winter soon, and Emperor Chongzhen can only stare dryly.

Nobody, what is the virtue of an official of SX? Emperor Chongzhen knew very well in his heart that if he sent the disaster relief money now, there would be no one out of ten in the hands of the people. Substitution, no one, Emperor Chongzhen has very few people in his hands, especially low-level officials.

Cultivating low-level officials is a huge and systematic official, and Emperor Chongzhen can't help but sigh in later generations, if only this era was also full of college students.

When the map was hung, Emperor Chongzhen saw a place at a glance, that is, Datong.

Datong is one of the nine sides, and it is also the place where Mangui served as the chief soldier, Datong has jurisdiction over thirteen guards, eight hundred and twenty-three forts, and three hundred piers. Absolute military town, but Datong is in the territory of SX, and the flashpoint of the peasant uprising is that Emperor Chongzhen of SX looked at it and moved his eyes to the two important towns of SX, one is Yansui Town and the other is Guyuan Town.

These two places are under the jurisdiction of more than a dozen guards of the nine-sided town, in history, after the outbreak of the SX peasant uprising, a large number of soldiers here rebelled, not only did not have the slightest benefit to the suppression of bandits, but also joined the peasant army in batches, which was a great increase in the strength of the peasant army.

A large number of officers joined the peasant army, which made the combat effectiveness of the peasant army very strong, and it was also one of the reasons why it was repeatedly suppressed later.

"Put Wang Zhichen and Man Gui here?" Emperor Chongzhen pointed to these two places and thought quietly.
