Jinluan Hall is more splendid than before, since Li Yunzhong arrived in Beijing, it is still the first time to decorate, there are some industrial techniques, it looks like it was pleasing to the eye before, the yellow thin edge is no longer decorated with gold, the transparent crystal is also replaced by glass, and the colorful pearl agate is also inlaid in the conspicuous place, which greatly saves the decoration cost.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

Li Yunzhong looked at the dozens of courtiers below, and suddenly smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to start today?" ”

Shen Baozhen didn't hear what Li Yunzhong meant, and stepped forward to bow and said, "Your Majesty, the two thousand garrisons and three thousand prisoners who went to Beizhou have already set off. ”

Li Yunzhong nodded and said, "I know that this kind of thing will be directly handed over to Wenyuan Pavilion for handling today, ladies and gentlemen, is there anything important to do?" ”

After a while, no one came out to answer, Li Yun had a few in the center, and said with a smile: "Then let's just cheer up the family and say some jokes today, after the three dynasties, everyone doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

Lu Jianying and Hu Yihuang glanced at each other and shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't know what to do, and the Manchu civil and military also whispered.

Li Yunzhong mainly wanted to mention the matter of corruption, which is called playing on the topic, and the ministers of various ministries have recently sung praises of virtue and whitewashed the peace, but the intelligence collected by the Ministry of Intelligence is shocking, and even his sworn brothers have all accepted gifts and bribes, and there are more concubines in the family than the other, and the houses are more luxurious than the other.

"Your Majesty, how can such a child's play be mentioned in the court." Ye Mingchen's righteous words of advice.

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Didn't I say it just now, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously!" I ask you. Have any of you ever thought about doing a position under my ass? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" The ministers bent down together, all confused. How can you answer 'yes' with this kind of words, then you have to move your head.

Li Yunzhong covered his chin. A slap doesn't make a sound, it seems that someone has to cooperate, Li Yunzhong looked at it one by one, Lu Jianying can't do it, this old fox will only pretend to be stupid, Ye Mingchen can't do it, he will only do bad things, Hu Yihuang, Zhang Suimou, Zhang Weikun and others are the targets of today's beating, Shen Baozhen doesn't know how to be flexible. I'm afraid I won't be able to react. Zhao Yali can't do it either, her relationship with me is well known to all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty......

Li Yunzhong looked at them one by one, and fixed his eyes on Zhang Zhidong, since he had been trained in the General Staff, he had a little more heroic spirit, his eyes were also smart, and he was not as pedantic as before.

"Zhang Zhidong!"

"The minister is here!"

"Come forward!"

Zhang Zhidong's official residence is five products, standing at the back. Hearing this, he hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward quickly.

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Zhang Zhidong, how many taels of silver do you have in your family?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Zhidong didn't understand why the emperor asked this, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Enlighten the emperor." Weichen's mother was seriously ill, and the family invited two maids, and Weichen's money was just enough. I'm afraid that I don't have more than fifty taels of silver at home! ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "Then how much is your monthly salary?" ”

Zhang Zhidong replied: "Thirty taels of silver!" ”

"Thirty taels of silver!" Li Yunzhong repeated, and then asked, "Then do you think Yulu is enough?" Do you want to raise your salary? ”

Zhang Zhidong was stunned. This is not easy to answer, and refused to offend colleagues. agreed to appear insatiable, pondered for a while, and replied: "Listen to the emperor's arrangement!" ”

Li Yunzhong smiled and said in an affirmative tone: "I think it should be added!" You are a fifth-grade official, a second-grade official's a second-grade official is a few hundred taels of silver, and the Han Dynasty's a few times that of the former Qing Dynasty, it stands to reason that it should be enough for a family's living needs, but why is your family living tightly. ”

Zhang Zhidong understood what the emperor meant, and replied: "Wechen's family is already content, in the past few years, prices have risen, and Wechen's income is enough to live, if Wechen's mother is sick, he can buy a few more maids to serve his mother." ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "Haven't you ever thought about making your family better?" For example, how many concubines will be accepted and the house will be built bigger? ”

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly said: "How can Weichen have so much silver? ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "You can be corrupt and take bribes, you think, one hundred taels of cashiers at a time, you can earn thousands of taels of silver a month, which is much higher than your money, as long as you do it unknowingly, or pull your colleagues into the water, then you can sit back and relax, take concubines with peace of mind, and build a house." ”

Before Zhang Zhidong could answer, the Manchu officials whispered.

"How? Isn't this embezzlement and bribery! ”

"Yes! I want to dismiss the official and kill the head! ”

"Alas! The emperor's salary is already very high, how can he still be corrupt and take bribes? ”

"That's right! Right! I pay one hundred taels a month, that's ten big ingots! ”

……

Zhang Zhidong replied: "Wechen doesn't dare, even if Wechen dies poor, he doesn't dare to be corrupt and take bribes." ”

Li Yunzhong asked: "Why don't you dare, others only give silver, you don't accept anything for Lu, I remember that last month, a businessman gave you a silver ticket, one hundred taels!" It's you who pay for three months, and he doesn't ask you to do anything, so why don't you take it? ”

How did the emperor know the Tao! Could it be that the merchant was sent by the emperor? Zhang Zhidong calmly replied: "The merchant gave the minister silver, and the minister owed him a favor, and he would have to pay it back one day." ”

"I want to pay it back!" Li Yunzhong smiled coldly, glanced down, and reprimanded: "But some people don't think so, I know how many corrupt officials you are doing, so I won't name them." ”

Zhang Zhidong was bold and stepped forward and said: "If the emperor has something to say, you might as well say it directly, and Weichen and others will listen to it." ”

Li Yunzhong nodded secretly, and deliberately said loudly: "Okay, I'll just say it, there is a report to a certain department, a certain member of the department, a bribe of 10,000 taels of silver, it's strange to say, that businessman just asked for a piece of waste land in Tianjin, do you know what I want to do with that piece of land?" ”

"I don't know!"

Li Yunzhong said angrily: "I plan to build an arsenal!" What presumptuous! As soon as I passed the order out, someone was wantonly enclosing the land, what did they want to do? Aren't you afraid that I will kill people! ”

Chen Chengying trembled for a while, and the palpitations instantly spread throughout his body, how did the emperor know such a secret news. That businessman is a relative of Hu Yihuang, and he will ask the emperor later. I'm going to tell the truth, no! Hu Yihuang is the emperor's sworn brother. At most, it will be a reprimand, if I bite Hu Yihuang out, his righteous brothers will never let me go, not only will I be finished, but I will also be affected by Chen Yucheng, a nephew.

Li Yunzhong sneered and asked Hu Yihuang: "Hu Aiqing, what do you guess this businessman wants this land for?" ”

Hu Yihuang didn't understand why the emperor asked this, and replied honestly: "Maybe it's to build a factory." ”

Ye Mingchen's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Lord Hu's words are different. Where can you build a factory, why bother so much effort and pay such a big price, the emperor, Weichen feels that things are not so simple, this businessman wants to sell the land to the imperial court at a high price and make huge profits! ”

Li Yunzhong looked at Hu Yihuang and said seriously: "Wrong, he wants to take the land to invest in the arsenal!" ”

"What a guts!"

"Damn it!"

"Isn't this person crazy?"

"The most important weapon of the country. How can you give it lightly, I don't understand this simple truth, this death is not unjust! ”

……

Zhang Sui made a move, looking at Hu Yihuang secretly anxious. He heard some rumors about this matter, this businessman is Hu Yihuang's own brother Hu Yifang!

"Alas!" Li Yunzhong sighed heavily, and said self-deprecatingly: "Why is the businessman so bold? The arsenal dared to reach out. What else can't be betrayed, if foreigners lure it. Won't they betray the Motherland? Hu Aiqing, I will leave this businessman to you to deal with. If you want to kill or release, you make your own decision, you don't need to ask me! ”

Hu Yihuang knew that the matter must have involved him, and the emperor read the old feelings, so he gave himself face, and secretly made up his mind to investigate when he went back, no matter who it was, he had to deal with it impartially.

Li Yunzhong looked at Zhang Suimou and said with a smile: "Fourth brother! How much silver do you have in your house? ”

Zhang Suimou immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen is guilty of selling weapons without permission, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

When Li Yunzhong saw him admit the matter, he was exempted from heavy responsibility, and just said: "It's really relying on the mountains and the water, two thousand three hundred and twenty-eight consecutive guns, do you know who bought the Dao?" ”

Zhang Suimou was even more afraid, he didn't know how many Lu Dao had sold, how could the emperor know Lu Dao? It must be the Ministry of Intelligence! Zhao Laoqi, this old boy, dared to check me!

"Weichen doesn't know!"

Li Yunzhong said softly: "All of them were bought by Fusang people!" Now that they have made a sample, maybe it won't be long before they will attack the big man with these bead guns! ”

Zhang Suimou kowtowed again: "Weichen should be damned!" ”

Li Yunzhong sighed: "You have made such a big mistake, I can't keep you, there is still a lack of a governor in the Northeast, you can go there to retire!" ”

Zhang Suimou closed his eyes and said loudly: "Weichen obeys!" ”

Li Yunzhong turned to Chen Chengying and said with a smile: "Chen Aiqing, there are a few silver mountains piled up in your secret room, I wonder, how can you have such a hobby, Li Xiucheng is piling up a silver mountain in his own compound, and you are stacking beds and building houses in your secret room, you are not afraid of crushing you to death?" ”

Chen Chengying consciously took off his official hat, kowtowed, and said, "Weichen is guilty." ”

Li Yunzhong said: "You also go to the Northeast and become a militia commander-in-chief!" ”

"Wechen thanks!"

Li Yunzhong saw Zhang Weikun's legs trembling, looked at it for a while, and then walked around, and everywhere his eyes went, everyone looked down and trembled, not daring to look up.

"I don't understand, when we fought the world together, everyone rushed to be the first to fight, no one was afraid of death, compared to those generals who died on the road, how fortunate you are, just don't remember the past, and it has intensified, are you worthy of the dead soldiers, what are they fighting the world with us, it's not that corrupt officials are rampant, everyone can't survive, what is the difference between what you do now and those corrupt officials in the past, I don't say much, you send the embezzled silver to the household department, and Wang Lei of the Intelligence Bureau will personally register it, Even if I don't know these things, I'll double your income. ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Li Yunzhong said: "You don't have to thank me, it was Lord Zhao who advised me not to make a big move, affect the country, and shake the society, if you want to thank her." ”

Sure enough, many officials threw a grateful glance at Zhao Yali.

Li Yunzhong sighed: "It's not easy to be the emperor, the cabinet has approved the chapters, I can see it, and the chapters sent by the ministers have to be approved, whenever I play and play, the queen will always persuade me to deal with state affairs and be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, in fact, what is the use of relying on me alone, you have to be able to do your duty, I don't have to be so tired, I want to inspect Liangguang several times, but every time I decide to leave, there is always something big happening, this delay, a year has passed, Lu Aiqing?" ”

Could it be that the evidence of his corruption is also in the hands of the emperor? It's impossible, all I collect is student filial piety! Lu Jianying hurriedly said: "The minister is here!" ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "Where was the construction of that railway?" ”

Lu Jianying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "Your Majesty, the railway from Beijing to Nanjing is divided into three sections, the first section of the railway from Xuzhou to Nanjing was contracted to the Americans, and it has been accepted, the railway from Xuzhou to Dezhou was built by our imperial court itself, and there are still more than 50 miles away, and the railway from Dezhou to Beijing is raised by businessmen and built by themselves. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry asked for a more magnificent cover. ”

Li Yunzhong estimated it and said with a smile: "So it will be open to traffic in half a year?" ”

Lu Jianying said: "The officials below said that it will be open to traffic in another four months. ”

Li Yunzhong said happily: "Okay! After this railway is repaired, it will be good, the railway can be used to mobilize materials from the south, and I will no longer need to be a foreigner's warship to patrol Liangguang! When it comes to battleships, I remember, Ling Aiqing, how is the Admiralty's ironclad research going? ”

Ling 18 said: "Your Majesty, there are three ironclad ships, one is bigger than the other, and now the latest warship is being developed, which can prevent seventy cannons on board. ”

Li Yunzhong advised: "Be quick, Westerners are also building ironclad ships, foreigners can place more than 100 cannons on the ship, and the Han can't lag behind. ”

"Wechen understands!" Ling Eighteen bowed down to receive the order.

Li Yunzhong said: "The navy is strong, the Han is not afraid of any opponent, the Westerners are thousands of miles away, and we have the advantage in fighting with them, and with the same strength and equipment, the chance of winning is at least fifty percent!" I await good news from the Admiralty. ”

After the Three Dynasties, Li Yunzhong left Zhang Suimou alone.

"Fourth brother, do you know why I want you to go to the Northeast?"

This sentence suddenly reminded Zhang Suimou of the scene when he was dismissed from the Suzhou front, and said: "Please ask the emperor to order." ”

Li Yunzhong made a long story short: "I plan to garrison Korea, but the king of North Korea pushes back, your task in the northeast is to train and raise troops, and when the time is right, you will enter Korea, and then you will let Chen Chengying be stationed in Pyongyang, monitor Japanese movements, and can log in to Japan at any time to fight." ”

"Weichen will never live up to the emperor's trust!" Zhang Suimou was secretly happy that he was not beaten into the cold palace! (To be continued......)
