Chapter 55: Completing a Big Case

Zhu Youzhen did not directly abolish the prince.

There is another reason.

It is not allowed to have a dispute for succession in the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

In that case, although he suppressed the arrogance of the Donglin Party, he added a fight for his son-in-law.

I'm afraid that the infighting will not stop.

The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince was not deposed.

At least it shows that the entire court is generally stable.

As for the officials implicated in the Qian Qianyi case, there is no way to do it.

After all, who made them so ignorant.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to let go of the civil and military officials who were still in the court.

He's going to bang and bang.

Therefore, after the decree was issued to put the crown prince into the Zongren Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen stood up directly and faced the civil and military officials:

"I know that you don't like me very much as the emperor, I am not as easy to control as the crown prince; But you are also familiar with the books of sages, and you also know the truth that loyalty and filial piety are greater than heaven!

As early as in Shandong, I asked Shi Kefa and Chen Chunde to come to Nanjing to inform you and others, why didn't you come to pick up the car for a long time! ”

Although Zhu Youzhen's words were flat, he was so frightened that all the officials knelt down:

"The ministers are guilty!"

"It's good to know that you are guilty, I am not a person who blindly loves to kill, if today is turbulent, although it is necessary to rule the country with an iron fist, but it must also be compatible with the art of Huai Rou, and other past crimes, I can forgive them, but after today, if you dare to do anything wrong to the country and the king, don't blame me for not being merciful!"

Zhu Youzhen said and slammed the dragon case.

A group of civil and military officials were so frightened that they knelt down again:

"Don't dare!"

Very good, very much Jiannu after the founding of the Qing Dynasty after the feeling of the monarchy.

This is the relationship between monarchs and ministers that an empire should have.

It is not for nothing that the Manchus could rule the Central Plains for two hundred years.

Seeing that these officials in front of him were so frightened that they didn't dare to disobey the slightest, Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied.

"At present, the country is poor and the people are lacking, most of the country is lost, I also have sins, and you are naturally the same sin, as the saying goes, you can change it, good is great, from today on, I will not add sin to you, etc., and you should not seek all in me, our monarchs and ministers are united, and we will work together to save the country from danger, pour all the people into fire and water, revive the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, restore my Ming Dynasty thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, unify the north and south, and the world will belong to my Han land!"

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, the ministers sang together:

"The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty to the death, and don't dare to slack off a little!"

"Very good, when the extraordinary time is to use the extraordinary method, the previous court of the court will be temporarily suspended, and now listen to the order:

Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, was changed to the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and was a scholar of the University of the Great Palace, and entered the cabinet as a second assistant;

Liu Zongzhou, a famous scholar of science, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites;

Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, was changed to the secretary of the household department, and was a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and entered the cabinet to do things;

Zheng Sanjun entered the imperial history of the right capital, Xu Shilin entered the Ministry of Works, and Jiang Yueguang became the secretary of the Criminal Department;

He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, was added as the left squire of the military department and the leader of the right deputy capital Yushi, and the general leader of Huguang. Shanxi and Shaanxi military affairs;

Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, was appointed as the secretary of the military department and a scholar of Dongge University, and ordered him to enter Beijing and enter the cabinet;

Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, supervised the military affairs of Henan and Fengyang;

Caoyun Governor Huaiyang Lu Zhenfei was changed to Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, Yingtian Governor, and Dongge University Scholar, and entered the cabinet;

Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, was added as the left deputy capital of the imperial history and the right attendant, the governor Cao Yun, and the commander of the training and recruitment of troops.

Ning Wubo Zhou Yuji Jia was the Marquis of Ningwu, Jingwu Bo Huang Degong was promoted to the Marquis of Jingnan, Gao Jie was crowned Xingpingbo, and Liu Fangliang was crowned Jianningbo; He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, was crowned as Dongxiang Bo; Han Shoujing was promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi; Shi Kefa was promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi;

Let the Cabinet follow suit. ”

After Zhu Youzhen severely suppressed the arrogance of Nanjing officials with the help of Qian Qianyi, he directly began to reward them.

This is also a big stick and a carrot, and these ministers can't help but not listen to their orders.

From the original officials in Nanjing to the current feudal officials guarding various important places, as well as the generals with heavy troops and the eunuchs of the inner court with heavy powers, they were all reappointed by Zhu Youzhen.

This can be regarded as the emperor's grace, and Ze has been a hundred officials.

It is worth mentioning.

There are now seven Cabinet Fellows.

They are Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Jinshen Temple, who is still in Nanchang, and Gao Hongtu, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, who is now in Nanjing, and Li Banghua, a scholar of Wuyingdian University who suppressed bandits in Xuzhou, and Wu Xian, a scholar of Wenyuange University, who is still temporarily staying in Hangzhou.

In addition, there are Shi Ma Shiying of Dongge University, Zhang Shenyan, a scholar of Dongge University, and Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Dongge University.

Zhu Youzhen deliberately balanced.

Therefore, among the seven cabinet members, there are those from the Donglin Party, those from the Eunuch Party, those who have served as local governors, those who have stayed in the Hanlin Yuan and served as auxiliary officials of the East Palace, and those who have come from Beijing.

From the cabinet to the six ministries, as well as the appointment of civil and military officials in the inner court and various important places in Jiangbei, except for Zuo Liangyu, a semi-independent bull who could not be moved, Zhu Youzhen moved almost the entire inside and outside the court, and it can be regarded as firmly controlling the inside and outside of the court in his own hands.

At present, only by waiting for the end of the recruitment of Li Mingrui, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Huai, and the end of the suppression of Liu Liangzuo by Li Banghua, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, can he train his troops on a large scale and prepare to fight against Jiannu.

The eight million cash has been put into Zhu Youzhen's internal money.

In addition to the gold and jade jewelry worth tens of millions of taels in the palace, most of them were also handed over to Han Shoujing by Zhu Youzhen for auction.

As for the future revenue of the state treasury, Zhu Youzhen naturally wanted to start with commercial taxation and trade.

However, at the moment, Zhu Youzhen is not in a hurry to let these Jiangnan officials and gentry pay for it, after all, he still has a few big fish to slaughter.

Moreover, if the commercial tax is directly levied now, I am afraid that it will cause the entire Jiangnan gentry and common people to rebel together.

The Suzhou tax resistance incident that occurred during the Apocalypse is a microcosm.

Because of factors such as clans and township parties, the entire Jiangnan people and commerce are controlled by these Jiangnan gentry, and if they forcibly collect commercial taxes, it will naturally lead to the closure of many shops and workshops to resist the imperial court's taxation, and it will easily lead to a large number of ordinary people who have lost their land and become unemployed, and it will easily cause civil unrest.

Therefore, even if Zhu Youzhen has announced an increase in commercial taxes, he does not intend to implement it immediately, and he wants to come step by step.

Qian Qianyi, Wu Weiye, Dong Zuyuan, Wang Duo, Hou Fangyu and others are all local squires who are invincible, and naturally they are all big fish that are rich and rival the country, so Zhu Youzhen naturally has no need not to slaughter them first.

From confiscating Wei Zaode and other officials to confiscating the Confucian Mansion, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that in fact, after he came to the Ming Dynasty and became the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, even if he was short of money, there was no need to go to great lengths to make glass and soap to go to the market to make huge profits.

To solve the problem of military salaries, there is no doubt that raiding homes is the most convenient and effective.

These big squires and landlords who have been raised by the people of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, which one is not a fat pig, and even includes those Zhu family vassal kings whose relatives are far or near.
