Chapter 394 came to an end
Chapter 394 came to an end
Tens of thousands of displaced people divided the grain of the Confucian Mansion, robbed the county treasury of Qufu, killed the county commander and more than 100 adult males of the Confucian family, and then dispersed, and they were scattered completely. Such a thing, at first glance, is an organized action.
But Chen Xie wrote in the notebook: When the thief heard that the army was coming, he dispersed and left, and when the minister arrived in Qufu, the thief was gone. Thinking of the suffering of the people's livelihood, the combination of swords and axes may provoke greater civil revolt. The ministers have mobilized food in the vicinity to comfort the hungry people, and will not change again. This matter arose because the minister's inspection was not detailed, so he resigned from the post of governor of Shandong.
The Jinan side went to Beijing first, and the cabinet immediately sent it to Zhu Youzhen. Zhang Bingwen and Song Guanglan joined forces to play, and in the two prefectures of Dongchang and Yanzhou, profiteers colluded with civil and military officials, colluded with each other, and stole and sold grain from the warehouse, which was a heinous crime. The matter was revealed, and the self-murderers included the commander of Shandong, the Yanzhou branch guard, the Yanzhou prefect, the Jining governor, the commander of the city guard, and the Jining garrison.
The reason why these people committed suicide was not actually stealing and selling grain, but because of the popular uprising, which led to the destruction of the Confucian Mansion. These three sins add up, and there is definitely no salvation. Look at Dongchang Mansion, aren't there no officials who commit suicide? If the people don't make a fuss, they'll be fine.
It was also emphasized that Qingzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, and Jinan Mansion, these four prefectures are one qiē Taiping. After the displaced people of Dongchang Province transported grain and relief in time to the provincial capital, they also regained their peace. The summer harvest is about to begin, and the rebellion in Shandong is safe.
How to deal with Shandong officials, the cabinet was divided into two factions, one faction was represented by Kong Zhenyun, demanding severe punishment of Shandong officials. The leaders Chen Xie, Zhang Bingwen, and Song Guanglan must be severely punished. But it's useless for Kong Zhenyun to make trouble alone. Wen Tiren and others believe that Chen Xie had inspected the drought situation in advance and asked all prefectures to make preparations, and the results were good. The key is that local officials deceived and joined hands to deceive, and it was difficult to see the clues during Chen Xie's short-term inspection. Under the current overall situation, it is better to issue an order to reprimand.
In other words, if it's messy enough now, don't make another incident. Who is Chen Xie? Do you think he's a soft persimmon? He has soldiers in his hands. The most capable soldier of the Ming Dynasty. What else can you do if you remove him from his post? Could it be that someone was sent to arrest him? If you want to go, we won't do it. Besides, this matter is counted on Chen Xie's head. Nor is it suitable. Chen Xie is a leadership responsibility at best. Just reprimand two sentences.
Zhu Youzhen naturally favored Chen Xie. There's nothing to say about this. Dongchang's recital came up first. I'm sorry to find out later, the two sides said the same. It shows that Chen Xie did not deceive the king. This matter has not yet been decided, Chen Xie's twists and turns have also arrived, and when he saw Chen Xie's resignation, Kong Zhenyun came back to his strength. This pavilion elder usually doesn't have any words, but he is ruthlessly suppressed by Wen Tiren. Now it is about the Kong family, although he is from Jiangsu, but he can't stand his surname Kong, and there is reason to speak.
The matter in Shandong is controversial in the cabinet, and Zhu Youzhen is also hesitating. The courtiers impeached the sea and also came, and they all went to the Shandong ministers. There is more than one Chen Xie, this is a posture to exterminate the Shandong officialdom. Naturally, the opposing side began to fight back, who was the official and there were few teachers in the same year? Began to quarrel, quarreled at the court, and scattered the impeachment quarrel.
Interestingly, the scope of these people's quarrels is actually just two words: "responsibility". No one mentioned at all what the drought situation was in Shandong and how the victims were resettled. is biting the civil unrest that the Kong family was broken, and Wang Ba bites people and does not let go.
Wenchen quarreled, and Zhu Youzhen was very unhappy. Why? It's very simple, Shandong's twists and turns are here again, this time more specific. How much food has been mobilized and how many victims have been resettled, the chaos in Yanzhou Mansion has been charged, and there is no intention of making trouble again.
After arguing for a month, Chen Xie stayed in Yanzhou for a month. There are more than a dozen copies in a row, and none of them are self-justifying. They all said that the minister was guilty of negligence, and then said what they were doing. Interrogate officials, find out the facts of the case, crack down on profiteers, and fine as much as the grain confiscated and how much the fine is. The accounts are very clear, and this is the attitude of doing things in a real way.
Another day of early court, when the civil officials were still spraying on both sides, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help it. Standing up with a lap on the dragon chair, he raised his hand and pointed at the officials who were arguing under the stage, and shouted angrily: "You are attacking each other here, do you know that Shandong is busy settling the displaced people, saving the summer harvest, and preventing similar things from happening again?" Do you know how much grain Shandong has transferred from all over the country? Do you know that Chen Sihua stayed in Yanzhou for a month, busy pacifying the place, and didn't defend himself a word in the recital? Do you know that Chen Sihua collected the stolen money and issued a fine to the profiteers, and the silver obtained was more than 500,000 yuan, and the Shandong place did not leave a tael, all of which were escorted to Beijing and handed over to me for disposal? Chen Sihua is in Shandong, and he is working hard to stabilize the place, what about you? Is there a practical solution? ”
This scolding, the ministers below were stunned, and they didn't react at all, and Zhu Youzhen walked away. After a month of arguing, the curtain finally came to an end. With unprecedented efficiency, the cabinet drafted a vote and handed it over to the celebrant to be issued in red.
The specific content is that in the affairs of Yanzhou, the governor, the chief political secretary, and the prosecutor are all responsible for negligence. Remembering that they are decisive, timely in dealing with the aftermath, and not taking heavy responsibility. Temporarily stay in office to observe the after-effects, and if there is another incident, the two crimes will be punished concurrently. All commanded Mao XX, Yanzhou patrolled the road, the crime deserved, and the death was innocent. Although a person died, he could not get rid of his crimes, and he was instructed to raid his house in Shandong, and his female dependents were used as official prostitutes.
For such a disposition, the important officials in Shandong, except for the commanders who committed suicide, did not lose a single hair. As a result of such a disposition, Shandong naturally celebrated and finally saved its job.
Chen Xie came back from Yanzhou, and after seeing the results of this disposition, he still played a copy, saying: If you run away with death, you still have a sense of shame when you think of it, you can raid your home and pay a fine, and your daughter's family will return to your ancestral home, which can show the virtue of your father.
This part of the concert was folded to the Beijing Division, which once again caused an uproar, and the civil and military officials unexpectedly unanimously supported Chen Xie's construction. Zhu Youzhen looked at the face of the fine for copying the house, thought about it again and again, and reluctantly agreed to this construction. So hundreds of officials played one after another, praising the virtue of the monarch's father, no less than Yao Shun. He also implored that in the future, all non-treasonous crimes should be followed by this example.
Catching up with the receipt of the bill of exchange of 500,000 silver yuan, Zhu Youzhen, who heard that the Shandong place had been restored to calm and was in a good mood, unexpectedly agreed to build this time. He also said that some companies could set up regulations for future reference. It means that it is necessary to raid the house, and it is also necessary to pay a fine for a life, and you have to have a standard for how much you should be punished. However, it is up to the emperor to decide whether or not to follow this example, and it cannot be used as a regular practice. It means that the rules can be worked out, and whether or not they are in accordance with this rule, the standards are in the hands of the emperor. This trick came out, although it is said that the imperial power is still playing a major role, but it has already been smashed out.
No one mentioned the matter of Shandong, and no one mentioned the problem of the Kong family. In the end, it was Chen Xie who jointly played according to the judge and the political secretary: The saint's door must not fall. Some of the fines could be allocated to them to settle down, and another heir could be chosen, and the government would come forward to help the Confucian family restore their family.
Zhu Youzhen is very simple, he doesn't bother the two masters, the women and children of the Kong family were saved by Chen Xie, and the fines of some corrupt officials were confiscated, and all of them were handed over to Chen Xie to be transferred to the Kong family. The establishment of another head of the family was also selected by Chen Xie, and a ceremony was held on a certain day for approval.
Chen Xie wrote a long recital very seriously, first saying that the Caoyun Guard Institute was abolished, and he could take the opportunity to rectify it and accumulate experience for the future rectification of the Guard. Then he said that the case of officials from the two governments in Shandong involved a lot, and the factory guard should take over the aftermath. Speaking of the affairs of the Confucian family, it is still necessary for the Ministry of Rites to send an old and serious official to preside over it, and it is more convincing for the local government to deal with the officials who are not justified in name and carry the name of the monarch's father. When it comes to money and grain, Shandong can afford it. Finally, when it comes to officials, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War should do their best to select officials to take over.
This performance was folded to the Beijing Division, and Chen Xie was once again praised by the hundred officials. The guys who impeached Chen Xie before suddenly changed their faces and praised Chen Xie to death. Zhu Youzhen simply followed Chen Xie's meaning this time, but added an article that Chen Xie was responsible for the rectification of the health office. As for the specific issue of the officials of the health center, Chen Xie recommended it to the military department.
went around in a big circle, and finally gave Chen Xie such a benefit, or for the sake of Chen Xie's powerful face in leading the troops. Zhu Youzhen's stingy side was exposed. Chen Xie went around in a circle, isn't this what he wants? Then the opportunity of the drought, the whole Shandong officialdom was cleaned up. The officials of the two prefectures were basically loaded in. The key is the right of the guard, Chen Xie got it, and now the entire canal is in Chen Xie's hands.
On the issue of the health center, the relationship between Zhu Youzhen and Chen Xie is actually the result of a tacit understanding. Chen Xie was worried about collecting fees on the canal, but Zhu Youzhen remembered this matter very clearly, otherwise he would not be able to deal with all the affairs of the guard station to Chen Xie. No matter how much the emperor trusts an official, it is all in moderation.
Shandong's affairs have reached this point, even if it is basically over. After the emperor's consent, Chen Xie immediately set about rectifying the Shandong Guard. Originally, there was a big river guard in Nanzhili, but Chen Xie couldn't reach it. Wei has a large amount of land in the hands of officers, and this time Chen Xie took this opportunity, and the officers up and down were clean. The land is naturally in hand and is taken care of by a special person. Military households are still military households, but they don't need to be soldiers anymore, they can farm with peace of mind, and the land rent has been reduced to three or a half. The person in charge of agriculture led the military households to repair water conservancy and dig deep wells, and the expenses were all out of the confiscated money.
After some combing and tossing, all the banks of the Shandong Canal fell into Chen Xie's hands. The officials of the hundred households, patrol inspectors, and so on along the way were all replaced by officers of the Dengzhou battalion, and the officers and soldiers of the city guard and the Pingshan guard were also replaced by new recruits from Shandong.
There is a cabinet elder in the cabinet, but it is not Kong Zhenyun, but He Fengsheng. Chen Xie did not delay the cost of relocating the Kong family at all, and allocated 10,000 silver yuan and 2,000 stone of grain. With such cooperation, He Fengsheng is also very satisfied. (To be continued......)
