Chapter 224: One Month

Listening to Chen Hong's words, Liu Yijing was slightly stunned, which one is the Emperor of the Apocalypse singing? Who else needs to say hello themselves? Wouldn't it be better for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to decree it? But Liu Yijing knew that this was not what he should ask, and looked at Chen Hong with a smile, Liu Yijing asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, since it is the emperor's will, father-in-law, please speak!" ”

Nodding slowly, Chen Hong said with a smile: "Lord Liu really knows the general situation, no wonder the emperor values you so much, the person the emperor said is called Li Biao." The emperor hopes that His Excellency will be a slip and promote him to be a household servant. ”

"Father-in-law Chen, rest assured, this official will do so, please ask your father-in-law to restore the emperor!" Smiling lightly, Liu Yijing said very politely.

"Since that's the case, then our family will go back, Lord Liu is so busy here, I hope it won't delay too much time!" Looking at Liu Yijing with a smile, Chen Hong said with a smile.

Glancing at the scribe on the side, Liu Yijing said in a deep voice: "Send Gonggong Chen for me!" ”

In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the second day of the fourth month, it is advisable to do a stove bath, and avoid weddings and funerals.

In the Apocalypse Dynasty, this day left a strong mark in history, and later generations called this day the beginning of the Apocalypse. On this day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued a decree to reappoint all the important official positions that had been vacant due to the Liaodong Case.

At the same time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse appointed Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the envoy and launched a large-scale Jingcha. Whether it is an incumbent official or a gentry and wealthy family, all of them are in the inventory. However, unlike the Liaodong case, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seems to have changed his temper, and all officials who are corrupt confiscate family property. Don't kill, don't plant, don't exterminate. All the rich and unkind, rampant in the countryside, the lawless local tyrants and inferior gentry. It's all in the crackdown. The light one will be fined and the board will be beaten, and the heavy one will be raided!

For a time, the whole city of BΔ›ijing was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. After the start of this campaign, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an order to severely punish the officials in the Liaodong case, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not show the slightest mercy in this case. According to the Great Ming Law. The family should be raided, and the family should be exterminated. For half a month, executions were carried out every day in the capital's vegetable market, and countless people were beheaded.

At the same time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse promulgated a new policy that anyone who reported corrupt officials, even if they were former accomplices, could produce evidence. Depending on the severity of the case, the whistleblower will be rewarded and exonerated from the crime. In the case of Liaodong. Shenyang general Lu Lin and Liaodong governor Yang Yuan's Huang Da shopkeeper because of the report. The Emperor of the Apocalypse specially pardoned his capital crimes, but confiscated his family property, and he was not allowed to follow the government within three generations.

Compared to the few things that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did before, the last one caused an uproar, and everyone was dumbfounded. Then came the protracted argument, which some people thought was exculpating the offender and was very inappropriate. The Emperor of the Apocalypse should retract the decree. Others think that this is a good thing, and it can better catch corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Give a chance to officials who have gone astray.

Although the debate was very fierce, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not seem to take it to heart, and this holy decree was still promulgated. No one is coming out to make a mistake because as long as someone does this, they will soon be labeled as a shelter for corrupt officials.

In all this just subsided, the first year of the Apocalypse on April 12. Once again, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued a decree. Sun Chengzong, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, the Taibao, the Guanglu doctor, and the governor of Liaodong, was promoted to the governor of Jiliao. With the title of secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, he commanded the military affairs of the Governor Jiliao, Baoding and other places, and also managed food and salary. Control the three provinces of Shuntian, Baoding and Liaodong, and all the soldiers and horses in the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong and Baoding.

The government and the opposition were immediately shocked by this holy decree, and Sun Chengzong suddenly became an enemy of the dynasty. It can be said that one person is below ten thousand people. The first assistant scholar of the cabinet, the Taibao, the Guanglu doctor, and the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, all of this is reminiscent of only one person, that is, the teacher of the Wanli Emperor, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant Taishi of the year. However, unlike Zhang Juzheng, Sun Chengzong mastered the military power again this time, and the entire army in the north was under Sun Chengzong's control, and even the Shuntian Mansion where the capital was located was also within the scope of Sun Chengzong's control.

Whether it is in the court or among the people, Sun Chengzong's limelight is unmatched for a while, but many people still let out a deep sigh when no one is around. Sun Chengzong's status is so high, it is difficult to predict the fate in the future, and it is likely to be another Zhang Juzheng. Some people are wondering if Sun Chengzong will come to a yellow robe one day, and some people are also quite worried.

However, this discussion did not last long, and at the moment when the holy decree arrived in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong sent someone to write a letter to his family, and the Sun family's more than 40 members entered Beijing. After the Emperor of the Apocalypse learned of this, he specially issued a decree to reward a vacant courtyard in Xicheng to the Sun family.

This matter has not yet subsided in the capital, and the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse came again, and promoted Xiong Tingbi, the former governor of Liaodong, to the governor of Liaodong. Reward the Guanglu doctor, and give him a flying fish suit to show his merits.

Xiong Tingbi's promotion was expected by many people, Yang Yuan fell, Xiong Tingbi's case was an unjust case, and it was also found that Xiong Tingbi had quite a meritorious career in Liaodong. Sun Chengzong went on another excerpt and played Xiong Tingbi's contributions in the Battle of Shenyang one by one. Such ministers who are loyal to the monarch and have meritorious service should naturally be promoted.

The officials in the court focused their attention on one position at a time, that is, Liaodong Jingluo, and after Xiong Tingbi was promoted, this position was naturally vacant. For such a position, there are many people who want to go, but who will go is still up to the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself.

It's just that the person promoted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse this time once again exceeded everyone's expectations, and the person promoted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse was Zuo Guangdou. Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian were Jinshi in the same year, at this time Yang Lian was the governor of Liaodong, and Zuo Guangdou was only a petty official from the seventh grade.

After just one month, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has completed the adjustment of the personnel in the court, and after this adjustment, the court has been able to implement the Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse very effectively. Since the Wanli period, the party has been fighting, and in this adjustment, it has been initially suppressed, and it is known as the Apocalypse to change the official.

In this month, Zhang Juzheng's case has also come to an end. Cha Zhang Juzheng has been loyal to the country all his life, and he is actually the dry city of the country. Zhang Siwei, the second assistant of the cabinet, framed Zhang Juzheng, deceived the saints, and deprived him of all titles. The Emperor of the Apocalypse officially rehabilitated Zhang Juzheng, and for a time he revisited the top and down, and praised the Emperor of the Apocalypse unanimously. After this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an order to overturn the case for the entire Jiangling Party, and countless people were corrected, including Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other military generals.

Although there was a lot of noise outside, the Forbidden City was indeed calm, and he didn't dare to talk about anything to the Emperor of the Apocalypse here.

Looking at Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "You have been by my side for a long time, and you are also the person I trust the most, but I don't know who to turn to this time." ”

"Your Majesty, no matter what happens, the ministers will do their best to do it, please ask Your Majesty to command." Chen Hong slammed his head to the ground and said with a solemn face.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Since the death of Gao Huai, the eunuch of the Liaodong Prison Army in the Wanli period, there have been continuous wars in Liaodong, and the eunuch and eunuch army have always existed in name only. I promoted Sun Chengzong's official because I was about to make a move in Liaodong, and I didn't want Sun Chengzong to be involved too much. ”

Regarding the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong could only listen quietly, because he really didn't know what to say. Since the Emperor of the Apocalypse said this, Chen Hong believed that he was probably going to Liaodong.

After a slight sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "Liaodong now has Xiong Tingbi in charge, and there will be no mistakes. Yang Lian, as the governor of Liaodong, and Zuo Guangdou as the governor of Liaodong, believe that they can do a good job in the next things. Although I don't know if Zuo Guangdou can be promoted, let's take a look first! With Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi on the side, and Sun Chengzong behind him, there will be no mistakes. ”

Quietly listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong's expression was calm, he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse must have sent him to Liaodong this time.

"I shed a large sum of silver in Liaodong, six million taels of silver, which I used to prepare for the cavalry and sailors. I am going to let you go to Liaodong to be a eunuch of the prison army, help me look at this silver, and make sure that this silver is used where it should be used. Remember, when you arrive in Liaodong, I will give you the power to mobilize Jinyiwei and Dongchang in moderation, and you can call Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Liaodong. There is just one thing you have to remember, you don't care about all the military and political affairs in Liaodong. Just report to me what you think should be reported, and I will make a decision, don't make your own decisions. Looking at Chen Hong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he said with a calm face.

"The minister understands that this measure must be mastered, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong still knows a little about the temper of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his duty is to help the Emperor of the Apocalypse look at Liaodong, not to point fingers in Liaodong.

Nodding with satisfaction, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that Chen Hong was a good hand at managing money, and his inner treasury had always been taken care of by him, and he had always been in good order.

After a slight sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with emotion: "You have been by my side for so long, and you are suddenly leaving, I still feel a little reluctant. However, state affairs are important, and I want you to put national affairs first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured! The ministers must bear in mind His Majesty's teachings and do their best to serve His Majesty. Chen Hong was also quite emotional in his heart, but when he entered the palace since he was a child, he had long forgotten what it was like outside, and now that he can go out for a walk, he is naturally very longing in his heart.

Sighing softly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "You know the Tai Fake in the palace very well, after you leave, who can take your place?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wang Chengen, who was sent to Liaodong by His Majesty last time, is fine, this person is quite talented, and His Majesty's promotion of him at this time is also a reward for the last time!" Chen Hong bowed and said affirmatively. (To be continued......)

ps: It's a little late today, I'm sorry everyone, it's not enough or three more than 10,000 words, everyone can rest assured.
