Feng Jian understood Zhang Dalai's mood at the moment, waved his hand and said, "Go quickly!" ”

Zhao Shougang has been busy training new recruits recently, and he is still most concerned about the issue of the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion; the commander just said that more than 200 craftsmen will come to Huluyan, but the problem of the lack of weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion cannot be solved in a short period of time.

He asked a little eagerly: "Commander, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the weapons and blades that our Zhenshan Battalion urgently needs are still in short supply!" ”

Feng Jian smiled slightly, and teased: "Shou just arrived and couldn't hold his breath first, look at your Xu Qian is the demeanor of a general, don't be in a hurry or sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!" ”

Xu Yannian, who sat down and was silent, had a rare red face, and hurriedly left his seat and said: "The commander's words are not a joke, the villain thinks that the commander has become a bamboo in his chest, and we as subordinates only need to obey!" ”

Feng Jian smiled and said, "You have confidence!" ”

"This commander negotiated with Chen Zhizhou, and the state capital's arsenal raised weapons and equipment of no more than 2,000 people to support our Zhenshan Battalion, on the condition that the largest bandit force in Daze Mountain, the Daqingfeng Bandits, was exterminated."

"Lord Zhizhou agrees, our Zhenshan Battalion can choose the weapons and equipment in the arsenal at will. Now the biggest shortcoming that plagues our Zhenshan Battalion has been solved, and how much combat power our Zhenshan Battalion can burst out depends on the ability of your military commanders. ”

This is another shocking good news, Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun, Zheng Qing and other major officers of the Zhenshan Battalion looked at the commander blankly, and the commander went to Pingdu City, and the weapons and equipment of the Zhenshan Battalion were solved in this way. Several people have a feeling of unreality!

"Look what I'm doing, after the New Year. It is very likely that the imperial court's edict of appeasement and the court's will will be issued, and then all the villagers in Huluyan will no longer be thieves and become private households again. You can freely enter and exit the state city, and you are no longer a spurned bandit! ”

"At that time, the commander will personally lead you to the state arsenal to select weapons and equipment, haha!" Feng Jian couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Haha, haha" A group of surprised Hulu Yantou figures laughed heartily......

Everyone laughed for a while, Feng Jian waved his hand and stopped: "To go back and forth to Pingdu City, you need to go through the new camp of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the commander of this book has decided not to mine the carboniferous ore found in the station for the time being, and make every effort to ensure the construction of the Zhenshan Battalion station." In this matter, Mr. Xu Qian, you have to personally supervise the construction. This commander has only one request, that is, after the beginning of spring, all the soldiers of our Zhenshan Battalion must move into the new camp site. ”

"The subordinates will definitely live up to the commander's orders. Quickly prepare for the construction of the Zhenshan Camp station. ”

"In addition, the Xiaohuakou bandits, who are located ten miles southwest of the new station of Zhenshan Camp, have taken the initiative to submit to us, and their cottage commander Chen Huan will come in a few days. Xiaohuakou is located on the only way to and from Pingdu and Laizhou, and I have ordered Zhou Donkey to lead the soldiers of the next bureau to be stationed temporarily, and how to garrison the troops here must be decided in consultation with Zhao Shougang and Huang Fuchun. ”

……

At the same time, in the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City Imperial Palace, the heart of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, a man wearing a black gauze folded scarf, wearing a golden silk peacock feather dragon robe, asking for a jade belt, and leather boots on his feet, was holding a notebook full of anger. Under the throne platform are nearly 100 important ministers of the imperial court.

This person's outfit is called the Wing Shan Crown, which is the regular dress of the Ming Emperor. Needless to say, this young man who looks to be in his twenties is Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Since his accession to the throne, in order to reverse the increasingly inclined country of the Ming Dynasty, he made a decision: in the future, except for the summer and cold days. Every day, I must go to the Wenhua Hall to deal with official business, and all the chapters and auxiliary ministers will be detailed in person, respectively. Be the most appropriate.

Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the worship of the ancestors and emperors is completed. Then he came to the Wenhua Hall to look at the court. It should be said that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is a rare diligent emperor other than Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the country!

Today is the Great Pilgrimage. The Cabinet, the Five Prefectures and Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration, the Dali Temple, the Six Branches, the Thirteen Provinces, the Hanlin Academy, and the Jinyi Weitang Shangguan all had to participate.

Originally, such annual court meetings should be held in the Qianqing Palace, but in order to show frugality, Chongzhen placed the large and small court meetings in the Wenhua Palace, and the courtiers had no objection to this.

Under the throne platform, the courtiers were dressed in formal court clothes of red silk and silk, a bullfight, a flying fish, a third-grade python, and a fourth, five-grade unicorn.

In the Wenhua Palace, the emperor's face was full of anger when he looked at the book, which made the hall of hundreds of people become silent, and occasionally one or two irrepressible coughs could be heard.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "I have been working hard all night since I was at the imperial pole. However, the people of the feudal territory are miserable, Tuwei is in mind, and the side is prepared to accumulate Chi, Lu Yan has been trapped for a long time, the customs of the ministers are along the way, and the feelings are still involved, and the political affairs are not true, and the empty words on the paper are exaggerated......"

As an emperor, there are too many things to be anxious about, not to mention that Chongzhen is a person who must bow down to everything, no matter how big or small, he is concerned about everything, and he is most worried about the governance, people's livelihood, Yiqing, border preparation, etc., and he feels unshirkable by disasters such as floods and droughts!

Emperor Chongzhen's words were nothing more than expressing his hard work for the people of the world, but the ministers of the imperial court only knew that they had relationships and friendships, that personal fraud was prevalent in buying and selling officials, and that the political party always deceived the upper and lower levels to report good news and not bad news.

The emperor's few words made the first assistant of the cabinet, Wu Yingdian University, the prince Shaobao Zhou Yanru unable to hold back, as the first assistant of the cabinet to assist the emperor in governing the world, and has always been favored by Chongzhen.

Today, the emperor of the Great Dynasty suddenly talked about the matter of the rule of officials, and the lack of governance of officials shows that he, the head of the cabinet, has no way to govern. Could there be anything thought-provoking about this?

Zhou Yanrumai walked to the bottom of the platform and knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor should be in the middle of the luck, he used the heavy code to punish the culprit of the chaos, and now it is appropriate to raise the world for peace." The meaning of spring is often more than autumn killing. But the situation is not as good as it could be, and the prisoners often do not obey the law. Arbitrary severity; Officials often pay bribes and commit fraud, which is used to get promoted. This is contrary to the idea of relying on the will of God, and the minister is the head of the cabinet and is willing to bear his responsibility. ”

Zhou Yanru first showed that he was calm and responsible, whether it was true or not, Chongzhen was first gratified, and it seemed that the cabinet chief assistant he selected and defended was still a person who had the courage to do things.

The second assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, a scholar of Dongge University, grinned secretly, Zhou Yanru, the fox, said a lot of words, but they were all empty words, and all the things that went around were sycophants, and in the end, he could win the emperor's approval. This sharp-tongued is simply unmatched!

Chongzhen picked up the recital on the imperial case and checked it, and said: "This is the recital of Gong Shouzhong, the Fujian Taoist test imperial history, and the cabinet entered the imperial review, this recital shocked me, my Ming Dynasty officials were corrupted to such a degree, the officials filled the vacancies to bribe the number of good or bad, the date of appointment was given as a gift, and the main hall Zuo Er was selected early to price two thousand taels of silver......

"Smack"

Chongzhen put down the notebook in his hand again, "Incorruptible and dirty." The dethroned people are confused, the money god has a spirit, and the ears and eyes are ownerless, which is simply outrageous. The law of election is corrupt. There are many drawbacks, and some are not known to outsiders. It is not the responsibility of your cabinet to govern the government. Immediately after the court meeting, the cabinet drafted an order to give Fujian Dao the imperial history Gong Shouzhong. With its full supervision, the Fujian Institute carefully inspected the regulations. They intend to be dealt with separately from the same company, and the law is corrected on the spot! ”

This remark reflects Chongzhen's strict and rigid character. Because of his status, he has a more thorough view of the rule of officials in the world: the source must be clear, and the root cause of all the evils of employing people lies in the officials' department, and only by cleaning up the source and killing a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials can things turn around.

This made Li Changgeng, the secretary of the ministry, feel the heavy pressure, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The disadvantages of the official book are only small officials, and as for the responsibility of the big bureaucrats and ministers, I dare not blame them." His consultation with the old order, near the clear decree shall not be abused, in the future all matters must be consulted, so that the evil deeds of buying and selling officials will be extinct, so as to look up to the holy arms! ”

The malpractice of bribery and employment of personnel is of course a fundamental problem, and the phenomenon of buying and selling officials among military attachés is even more widespread, so it is difficult for the military department to take a stand.

Zhang Fengyi knelt down and said: "Today, the East has not been settled, and the thieves in Shaanxi are fighting each other, just because they will not be able to be used, and this is the crime of ministers." In the matter of pushing officials, the martial artists have always been in the camp, but now the emperor and the gods are in the palace, and there is no disadvantage in this matter. ”

This kind of attitude of pretending to be wrong immediately aroused Chongzhen's disgust, and he said coldly: "Regardless of the slightest emotion, you can use a few good people if you completely clear it." If you say that there is no harm, who can believe this? In the first year, Fang Shilang had a general soldier asking for push, Xie Yin 3,000 taels, how can this be said? As soon as I arrived at the place, I naturally stripped the army. As ministers, they need to clean themselves and their subordinates. ”

Zhang Fengyi, who said this, was speechless, sweating profusely, lying on the ground and claiming guilty.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, knelt on the side and said: "The military department of the Ministry of Officials must be able to participate in others, and not be afraid of others, so that they can complain and do things." This seems to be blunt, but it is actually exculpating the two.

Chongzhen glanced at him and said: "Everyone is dutiful, I judge myself, how can floating words move me!" ”

Zhou Yanru lay on the ground and peeked at the young emperor, feeling that the power of heaven was unpredictable, and immediately kowtowed: "The minister has been used since the special grace in the field, and he dares not to report his intentions. ”

Wen Tiren didn't say anything, he watched Zhou Yanru and his two comrades being reprimanded by Chongzhen, and felt very relieved in his heart.

He and Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet one after another, and it should be said that he Wen Tiren entered the cabinet under the recommendation of Zhou Yanru, but due to the conflict of power and interests, the relationship between the two quickly changed from mutual cooperation to mutual conflict, so that the party struggle of the courtiers evolved into a situation of Wen and Zhou.

This recital happened to be seen by Chongzhen, and the criticism of Zhou Yanru's faction was also made through the ingenious arrangement of Wen Tiren and his family to achieve this effect.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren's gaze turned to Wang Chengen, the emperor's companion standing behind Chongzhen, and it happened that Wang Chengen's gaze also turned to him, and the two exchanged a tacit smile.

Wang Chengen is now the master of ceremonies, and the cabinet votes must be printed by the master of ceremonies before they can be sent to the world, so he knows very well the open and secret battles between the cabinet Zhou and Wen.

Wang Chengen understands this master who is so happy and strict very well, and knows that the emperor has been skillfully controlling the fight between Zhou and Wen and maintaining a balance.

Originally, as the great eunuch of the inner court, he was still happy to see the fight between the courtiers, and only when the two sides fought fiercely could the emperor better control the government.

The reason for him to intervene in the battle between the two sides came from the two recitals of Governor Denglai, and he knew that once Chongzhen saw these two recitals, he would inevitably trust Zhou Yanru and his family more often, and Wen Tiren and his family would fall into disadvantage.

This is not the result that the emperor wants, nor is it the result he wants to see, so he quietly only informed Wen Tiren, and said that he would take advantage of the opportunity to put the recital he specially presented to the imperial review in the most conspicuous position.

Of course, the treacherous and cunning Wen Tiren understood what he meant, so he started the scene just now.!! (To be continued......)
