Chapter 43: The Authorities Are Confused

In view of the fact that Jia Yi and others have the courage to admit their mistakes, have a correct attitude, conduct a deep review and reflection, and promise not to make mistakes in the future, coupled with the merit of reporting and exposing, the merits and demerits are offset, I am in line with the principle of confession and leniency, resistance and strictness, and give them a chance to change their minds and reform themselves, however, although the capital crime is exempted, the living crime is unforgivable, everyone is reduced to the seventh grade, the six departments are miscellaneous, and the original six department officials take over their official positions.

A few days later, in the early dynasty, Wang Chengen read out a long holy decree, which was also specifically aimed at Jia Yi and others, which made all the courtiers stunned, is this okay?

Some people are happy and some are worried, most people's minds are mushy, and their faces are confused, but they are demoted and demoted, and they are not dismissed, this kind of treatment is too light, right? This completely subverts everyone's normal thinking.

Those who hooked up with Wei Zhongxian too deeply, and did not admit their guilt with a fluke mentality, both regretted and feared, and knew that it was only a punishment of demotion, so they had already confessed and fought for leniency, but unfortunately there was no regret medicine in the world, and the wolf-like palace soldiers pulled off their official hats and uniforms and dragged them out of the hall.

Among the happy people are Jia Yi and others, they already knew such a result, and they are all glad for their decisive choice, as for the demotion, this is the consequence they have to bear if they hook up with Wei Zhongxian, and it is also the price that must be paid to appease the ministers, this is the best result, not to mention that there is a big secret here.

The happiest are the officials who have been transferred to jobs in the six departments, although the six departments give great power in the matter, and dare to touch the dragon scales of the Son of Heaven, but if they top the sky, they will be seven grades, who doesn't want to climb higher? Of these dozen or so Wei thieves who have been demoted, a few of them are in the fifth grade, most of them are from the fifth grade to the sixth grade, and the most inferior is from the sixth grade, all of which are one grade higher than their seventh grade, and they are promoted one or two levels for no reason, who is not happy? I can wake up laughing when I dream.

Among the officials of Lehe, the Donglin Party accounts for the majority, and the Ruan Department points the small half, I want to oppose the decision of the Son of Heaven, but I am worried about causing dissatisfaction among my own people, this is not a matter of one or two people after all, they all say that blocking people's money is no different from killing parents, not to mention blocking the official road, opposition is equivalent to digging people's ancestral graves, even if it feels inappropriate, you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

As for the few officials who did not admit their guilt to death and now regretted it, they all confessed before Jinyiwei was punished, and signed and waited for the final verdict of the Son of Heaven.

During this period, their family members were instructed by mysterious and well-wishers during their prison visits, and secretly paid a large amount of life-saving money, and they were quietly released after a few months, and then left the capital and went to other places where the local lord Lao Cai went.

These criminal officials have all been dismissed, which means that there are a few more vacancies, and the Jinluan Palace has become a PK venue for the Donglin Party and the Ruan family civil officials to spit and fight, and Jia Yi and other officials of the Son of Heaven are obscenely shrunk in the corner as turtles, and everyone almost forgets their existence.

However, Jia Yi and the others were not idle, they secretly made some small moves, and a few unambitious petty officials joined the camp of the Son of Heaven Party, and the team was quietly growing.

This is not the main thing, under the instruction of Zhu Jian, they vacated the house and made up a sum of money to fund the placement of poor students from all over the country who came to Beijing to participate in the entrance examination, this trick is that he stole the Jin merchants, those Jin merchants are powerful, know that the net is everywhere, long-term investment, and now the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, many of them have been funded by the Jin merchants, and the relationship here has become complicated, the interests of the Jin merchants are the interests of the civil official group, and the interests of the civil official group are the interests of the Jin merchants, no matter who moves, they will be fiercely counterattacked by the two forces.

Zhu Jian also knew that the most powerful weapon of the Donglin Party was public opinion, and he also considered controlling this extremely sharp knife by running a newspaper, but he still gave up after thinking about it, the cost was too much, and what he lacked most was money and time, and among the civil officials who were loyal to him, there was no literary bigwig who could handle it, and he couldn't fight with the talented Donglin Party.

Ming's can't do it, he has to play yin, in addition to the notorious Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as Lu Jiantong's Red Gang, this is one of the secret weapons in his hands, under his instruction, under the support and connivance of Jinyiwei, Lu Jiantong is leading his Red Gang disciples to encroach on the underground forces in the capital city step by step, half of the underground forces in the capital have been controlled in their hands, and the name of the red master is already a supergod-like existence in the underground forces of the capital.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are in the light, the Red Gang is in the dark, the two sides cooperate closely, and Zhu Jian basically knows the secrets of the entire capital, which makes his sense of security increase by one or two points.

What he is most concerned about now is the wolf camp under the command of Cao Bianjiao and the Shenji camp organized by Li Xin, this is the trump card in his hand, in fact, Lu Hongniang is also a trump card, but it has not grown yet, and the time has not yet come.

According to Jinyiwei's secret report, during this time, Lu Hongniang often went to the children's camp to visit the children, watched them carry out various training, and did not go home until the evening, Lin Qing has always been by her side, and the relationship between the two is as good as sisters.

Zhu Jian knew in his heart that Lu Hongniang was not bored, but under his various failures and brainwashing, her military talent had been activated, and going to the boy camp to see the children was just a passing, and observing and learning was true, what he was struggling with now was whether to provide Lu Hongniang with a stage to show her opportunities?

It's a bit cruel to let his beloved goddess go to the front line to fight, but Da Ming is terminally ill, even if he tries his best, he can't stand alone, and he needs a lot of talents to help tide over all kinds of difficulties, and another fatal problem is money.

Supporting a wolf battalion with an establishment of 5,000 people, not to mention the military expenses spent, burning money, now adding a 3,000-person Shenji battalion, it is another roaring burning of money, he did everything possible to get a large amount of black gold to reduce it, if he now gets a new army for Lu Hongniang, he is afraid that the military budget will not be able to support it, and there are too many places to spend money, but he doesn't want to kill Lu Hongniang's talent, what should he do?

"Your Majesty, if you are concerned, the authorities are confused." Song Xiance came over with his fart, he also figured out Zhu Jian's character and style of acting, so he dared to say such a heart-wrenching word, if he wanted to change it to another emperor, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb if he was killed.

"What's the best way to do it?" Zhu Jian's eyes lit up, this guy really had bad water in his stomach, and he had a lot of ghost ideas, but fortunately, he was grabbed by his brother Kai and hung first, and Li Zicheng lost a powerful arm to help, hehe.

"Your Majesty, this matter is actually simple."

Song Xiance made a plan to reduce the 5,000 people in the wolf camp to 3,000 people, and the extra 2,000 people were allocated to Lu Hongniang, and another 1,000 recruits were recruited to make up the amount of 3,000 people.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Zhu Jian slapped his forehead, according to Song Xiance's method, he had three elite troops in his hands, but in fact it only increased the military expenditure of 1,000 people.

Uh, the establishment of 3,000 people, is there a little less troops?
