"Hold the thunderbolt means, and hold the heart of the Bodhisattva!" Sun Chengzong sat behind the desk, chewing on Li Xiao's two sentences.

"That's what the big marshal said!" Zhang Huangyan knew that the purpose of Li Xiao and him was to let him tell Sun Chengzong. As the three pillars of Ming politics, some things must be ventilated in advance.

"Since you have a thunderbolt method, what else is there to be a bodhisattva's heart. Holding the life and death of the Liao army, who wants to kill someone with a look, the people below will rush to do it. Could it be that he really wants to ruin the accumulation of thousands of years of questioning for the sake of party fighting? ”

As a former member of the Donglin Party, Sun Chengzong also grew up reading sage books since he was a child. The Confucianism in his head is absolutely false.

The reason why he helped Li Xiao was because he saw that only Li Xiao could guarantee the safety of millions of Han people in the land of China. Later, he helped Li Xiao govern the Ming Dynasty because he saw that what Li Xiao promoted could make the Chinese people rich and stand at the top of the world's nations.

But now it's different, and what I've been worried about for a long time has finally appeared. Because of the long-term agitation of the Donglin Party, Li Xiao became more and more impatient with readers.

Schools were used instead of seowons, and the children of the common people could attend school for free. It has greatly expanded the scope of the country's selection of talents! After all these years of accumulation, Li Xiao already has a bargaining chip in his hand to replace the Donglin Party, that is, a large number of young talents cultivated by the school.

Talent! As long as there is a person, he can really do whatever he wants.

These young people, as well as those officers who retired from the Liao Army, were all greatly favored by Li Xiao. The education they received was also where they are today without the handsome.

They are naturally loyal to Li Xiao, and sometimes this loyalty has surpassed loyalty to the country and the nation.

Now that we have the confidence, we naturally want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots of the Donglin Party. After tossing for more than ten years, the Donglin Party never dreamed that a small miscellaneous fish in Liaodong would actually pull out this towering giant tree that grew barbarously in Daming and even once oppressed the imperial power.

"Old Sun! There are some things that I can't actually say, such as the one that the Ministry of Supervision just reported last month. A petty official in charge of coal mines in the Ministry of Industry is just an outsider.

The Supervision Department found out that the villa given to him by the coal boss filled a room full of silver dollars. There was a safe in the basement, which was full of silver tickets. The smallest denomination is also a thousand silver dollars!

Counting these dollars alone would have taken twelve people a whole day.

And also! In recent years, the real estate that has emerged from the capital has also been followed by the local government. After selling the land, the yamen had money, and they did not have to rely on the silver taels allocated by the imperial court. Local officials can spend as much as they want, and it is also called a small treasury.

How is the money spent? It's all a mess, and in the end only God knows.

Housing prices are rising day by day, and people have to empty their savings for two generations to buy a property for their children to marry. The imperial court implemented that men should be nineteen years old and women should be married at the age of eighteen. The reason why it is easy to succeed in the city is not that the people support the imperial court, but that the women who can't afford to buy a house don't marry.

Not being able to marry a daughter-in-law has become a common problem everywhere. This is just sent by the Ministry of Supervision, one of our political envoys, a person from Yuelu Academy.

greedy for ink no less than two million silver dollars, and the whole family ran to the Wa Kingdom.

Do you say that they are stupid, with the prestige of the Ming Dynasty today, you can even run to the UK. The big handsome had to be sent back obediently, and he was only sentenced to hanging. Now there is one more crime of treason, and the Ministry of Supervision means that all the family property will be confiscated.

The main culprit was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market to be executed in order to set an example! ”

Zhang Huangyan took out a file sealed in a brown paper envelope and put it directly on Sun Chengzong's desk. For the Donglin Party, Zhang Huangyan has no sympathy at all. Even though he used to be a Donglin party too!

Over the years, these people have been too unscrupulous. The local government colluded with wealthy businessmen to sell land and engage in real estate. In order to force people to move, all bad tricks and bad tricks are used.

There are even some who directly find some ruffians and hooligans to forcibly force people to demolish and move. Except for being a little jealous of the Liao army, he has no scruples about other people at all.

What they saw was that Li Xiao was busy fighting outside and had no time to take care of it internally.

Some officials are even forced to collect money, which is also something that cannot be helped. Your boss is greedy, your subordinates are greedy, and people at your level are greedy. You're not greedy?

Do you still want to do it, this official!

Sometimes looking at the dossier, Zhang Huangyan finds it hard to believe that these are all things made by people who read the books of sages. Drinking flower wine and rewarding prostitutes is already a common thing.

There are even people who specially bring out female prisoners from prison for their sexual pleasure. When the noblewoman arrived, she was almost indistinguishable from a prostitute.

"Chopping? This kind of punishment doesn't seem to be suitable for use in the prosperous era, if you want to deter people's hearts, beheading is enough to show the public. Sun Chengzong listened to Zhang Huangyan's words, and opened his mouth for a long time before he spoke.

Da Ming has not used this kind of maximum punishment for ten years, and now he actually wants to use this article, can it be said that this is the beginning of a bloody storm?

"There is one more treason in the charge, which is determined on the "Da Ming Law", traitor will be punished!" In this kind of thing, Zhang Huangyan and Li Xiao wear a pair of pants.

If the traitor doesn't cut it, will he still keep the cubs?

Sun Chengzong glanced at Zhang Huangyan, the age of fifty-two was more youthful and aggressive than him. Before, he didn't dare to talk to himself like that.

Old!

The mouth full of teeth is about to fall out, and now the mouth is full of false teeth, and the taste of eating is three points worse. Every night, it's only two hours of sleep at most.

Many times, it is until dawn.

"The rise of a country requires a lot of wealth, especially a country like Daming that has almost been destroyed. Rebuilding requires silver as high as a mountain, not to mention that there are so many moths in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as they are greedy, they can't bear the gold and silver mountains. The events of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, you can see them all.

To put it irreverently, if it weren't for the fact that the marshal came back with so many soldiers overseas, Da Ming would have been unable to hold on. The Liao army was overstretched, but the marshal stubbornly did not expand.

With only 300,000 troops, it swept thousands of miles. After this disarmament, there were only 930,000 military personnel in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Sun, 930,000 people! The Ming Dynasty, with a population of 260 million, has only an army of 930,000 people in its huge territory. Among them are more than 300,000 Navy and Marine Corps!

During the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, how many troops did we have in the Ming Dynasty that could protect the Ming Dynasty?

Elder Sun, you have been in charge of government affairs all these years. I don't believe you don't know what those filthy officials did. At that time, it was important to have a stable rear in the war.

But now it's different, the battle is over. The state does not allow them to be greedy like this, and if they continue like this, the Ming Dynasty will be finished. No matter how much money you get back overseas, you will be greedy by these moths. ”

"Hey......! The old man is old, since you are here to talk, just talk to the handsome. There are thousands of mistakes, and the blame belongs to me, Sun Chengzong.

Those people have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and I hope that the handsome man is really holding a thunderbolt and holding the heart of a bodhisattva. Daming has experienced turmoil, and it can't be chaotic anymore. If the chaos continues, the country will really be destroyed. ”

"Old Sun, you know, you use fierce medicine to treat Shen Zhen. Sometimes killing is a last resort, and now it must be killed. ”

"Alright! The old man has always been in poor health, tell the big handsome, the old man's resignation will be handed over tomorrow. Clean, send-off! He took a sip of tea.

"Serve tea and send it off!" The steward next to him shouted, and Sun Zhijie stood in front of Zhang Huangyan, and made a gesture of please with an unkind expression.

Zhang Huangyan came today, and to put it bluntly, he came to force the palace.

"Farewell!" Zhang Huangyan arched his hand, stood up and walked out of the study.

Sun Zhijie sent Zhang Huangyan away, and when he returned to the study, he found Sun Chengzong lying on a chair with his eyes closed.

"Grandpa! The Li family is really deceiving people too much, you have worked hard for the sake of the Ming Dynasty......! ”

raised his hand to stop Sun Zhijie from continuing, Sun Chengzong opened his eyes: "Silly boy, what is the politics talking about. Your grandfather is old, so he should give Zhang Huangyan a place. ”

"Zhang Huangyan, that old horseman, his conscience was eaten by a dog, and you have actually exchanged ...... for so many years of support!"

"Say stupid things again, there is no Zhang Huangyan, there is also Li Huangyan and Chen Huangyan. Don't blame Li Xiao, in this matter, he has done a very authentic job.

Let me tell you, politics is extremely dangerous. As soon as you embark on the first day of your political career, you are in Vanity Fair.

Look at those people outside, what are they living for? Sun Chengzong raised two fingers: "Two things!" One is fame and the other is profit.

If you have a fate, you will fight, and your grandfather has been in charge of the Ming government for 12 years. It's good to have today's end, Zhang Taiyue was so majestic back then.

Shoufu 10 years! In the hall hangs a couplet: The sun and the moon are bright, and all the nations look up to the Son of Tomorrow.

The hills and mountains are the mountains, and the Quartet is the prince of the Taiyue.

That is the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, covering the sky with one hand. But look at what happened to him behind him?

It's been ten years, and your grandfather's protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition. No matter who is in power, it is a taboo thing. Li Xiao can let our Sun family have this end, which is already extraordinarily gracious.

If it is replaced by the emperor surnamed Zhu, hehe! Believe it or not, the matter of Zhang Juzheng's family will appear in our Sun family again.

The people of our family will be confined in the courtyard like dogs and starved to death, and those who survive will also be sent to the bitter cold to suffer. ”

"Then it won't be ...... now!"

"Huh!" Sun Chengzong smiled slyly: "Zhang Huangyan came to force the palace, which means that Li Xiao is not ready to do that." After all, he Li Xiao is not the emperor of the Zhu family, at least his heart is bigger than that of the emperor of the Zhu family.

Go back to the barracks now, and take care of your soldiers. If they make trouble at this time, a thunderbolt blow will fall on the heads of our Sun family. ”

"Got it, grandpa!"

"Don't be careless, many people want to take advantage of our Sun family's momentum. Now that our Sun family has fallen, although you don't want to, it is inevitable that some people will want to jump off the wall in a hurry. Don't give them a chance, and when you go back, collect your weapons and store them in storage.

Not a single soldier is allowed, understand? ”

"Got it, grandpa!" Sun Zhijie bowed and hurriedly turned around and went out. In a place like the capital, the news spreads faster than the wind. All of this had to be done before the news of Grandpa's resignation spread.

Although he has a guard regiment in his hand, the entire capital is stationed with a tiger and wolf-like Liao Army Division. That is the army that Li Xiao started, and it is definitely the elite of the elite.

As long as it is released, it is an existence that can destroy the country.

Such a tiger and wolf army is lying next to Li Xiao, and its role is self-evident.

If someone really dares to be unfavorable to Li Xiao, the end must be dead without a place to be buried.

Today's capital is still lively, and people come and go on the streets at the beginning of the lanterns. The teahouse and liquor shops on the street and various shops are doing brisk business, and the shopkeeper has a snow-white towel on his shoulder, greeting business at the door of the store.

Pedestrians rub shoulders, some call friends to eat and drink in the restaurant, and some people stroll around the night market under the street lamps to choose their favorite goods.

Since the Ming Dynasty allowed women to work, women's purchasing power has increased significantly. On the street, there are many big girls who walk together, choosing left and right on the stalls.

A lot of young men are staring at the girl they like, and if they see the right eye, they ask the matchmaker to propose. Absolute love at first sight!

No one knows what kind of crisis is brewing tonight.

Assuming that Sun Zhijie really has any ideas, there will be chaos in the capital tonight, and there must be many dead and injured people.

Sun Zhijie did not make a mess, but returned to the guard regiment as soon as possible. The whole regiment immediately began to collect weapons, even the guns in the hands of the soldiers standing guard at the gate.

In the whole regiment, not a single bullet remained. All of them are confiscated in the ammunition depot!

The subordinates came to inquire, and the unanimous reply was to check the weapons of the whole regiment.

After a stressful day, the soldiers went to sleep after hearing the lights out as usual. The people of the capital have gradually fallen asleep, and they have to go to work tomorrow, so it is not possible to rest well.

"What is Sun Zhijie doing?" Li Xiao sat on the chair and looked at Xiao Zhan who came in a hurry.

"Marshal Qiqi, Sun Zhijie returned to the guard regiment this afternoon. The first thing to do was to collect the weapons of the whole regiment and then put them in storage and mothball.

In addition to normal duties, not a single soldier or soldier of the regiment is allowed to move without permission. Sun Zhijie personally sat in the gatehouse at the gate of the camp and supervised military discipline. ”

Li Xiao nodded, in the end, it was Sun Chengzong's grandson.

"Dashuai, do you want to arrest those people?" Xiao Zhan looked at Li Xiao's eyes carefully.

"Together with the people of the Criminal Department, arrest! Belch......! The people who brought the newspaper also went and told them to write down what they had seen.

The common people like this kind of joke the most, so let the people watch enough. said to the outside world that the imperial court wanted to fight tigers, and fight the big tigers who were greedy for ink.

Find a group of heinous criminals, interrogate them as soon as possible, and then send the file to Dali Temple. Punish the Ming canon punishment heavily, if it is found that the people of Dali Temple are favoritism. Then even they will clean it up! ”

"No!" Xiao Zhan shuddered in his heart, the people of Dali Temple wanted to be cleaned up for personal gain. If your subordinates are favoritism, then ......!

Although Li Yongfang's old guy doesn't care much anymore, the female devil of the green bead girl can't be found. God knows when this female devil will pop up.

Walk up to yourself and take yourself with a stack of evidence to take you away.

That is a she-wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones, and she finds her sore feet, and it is absolutely worse than death.

Watching Xiao Zhan walk out of the office, Li Hao limped in.

"Big brother, Sister Luzhu said that everything is normal in the Sun family, and there is no sign of chaos."
