Chapter 82: I want to rebuke him
Li Yan never expected that this envoy would be really moved.
As a result, in the whole Mizhi County, a large number of people were driven out of the towns like cattle and sheep, like cattle and sheep.
The vicious servants began to search from house to house, and whenever they saw anyone who did not want to move, whether they were men, women, children, or children, regardless of their status, they would be forcibly taken away.
If you encounter someone with a tough attitude, or even use force to resist, then you can't stand it, we still have 3,000 battalions behind us, see who can beat whom!
The temporary camp on the outskirts of Mizhi County was like a huge prison, and countless people, like homeless people, were forced to fill this small camp, and there were complaints everywhere.
…………
It also snowed in Jingshi, and the snowflakes were like goose feathers, with ice, floating on the earth.
Although Zhu Qizhen does not go to court, he is very busy every day.
The Xishan cement workshop, the Wang Gong factory firearms workshop, and the construction site of the Martyrs' Shrine circle around these places almost every day.
The cement workshop is progressing most smoothly, with a daily output of 3,000 catties, and this output is still increasing.
Wang Gongchang was in charge of Li Shulin, and recruited a large number of skilled craftsmen from all over the country, divided into several groups such as cast iron forging, flowering bombs, and granular gunpowder, each group specialized in a topic, and at present, the progress was relatively slow.
Because the things studied by Wang Gongchang were too powerful, Zhu Qizhen had ordered him to move out of Beijing and simply move to Xishan, and when he was studying granular gunpowder, he could also help the cement workshop open mountains and blow up stones.
The progress of the Martyrs' Shrine is also relatively smooth, Lu Xiang originally got the design drawing is a reinforced concrete structure, but in this era, pig iron is a strategic resource, and it is too luxurious to build a house, so bamboo strips are used instead of steel bars to make a skeleton, and then mixed with cement, gravel and sand to pour, the effect is not bad.
According to the current progress, it will be completed before the year and put into use after the year.
It was getting late, Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace from the construction site of the Martyrs' Shrine, and Huai En stepped forward to report, saying that Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, and Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, asked to see him, and had been waiting for a long time.
"Let them wait in the Imperial Study!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Qizhen washed his face, changed his clothes again, and came to the imperial study.
"Minister Zhu Qiyu knocks on my emperor, long live!"
"Long live the minister Cao Nai, knock to see my emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "The two Qing families are exempt from courtesy!" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
"Emperor Xie!"
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What is the matter with waiting for me so late?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Cao Nai took out a note and said, "This is an urgent note from Yulin Mansion, impeaching the Qin Heavenly Supervisor Bei Lin for mistreating the people of Mizhi County, and countless soldiers and civilians were driven out of the city in the cold and snowy weather, which is even more murderous than the Warat people." ”
Zhu Qizhen silently calculated the time in his heart, it has been ten days since Belin set off, and he said that there will be ground movements in seven or eight days, how can he feel unreliable......
Zhu Qiyu then said: "According to the report, three people froze to death on the first day, and hundreds of people were injured. If it is allowed to continue, I don't know how many people will be harmed by it. ”
"This Belin, what a daring!"
Zhu Qizhen slapped the table and said, "I just asked him to go to warn, but I didn't expect this person to act so recklessly and meddle in local affairs." When he returns to Beijing, I will reiterate the reprimand! ”
Zhu Qiyu and Cao Nai glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts, is this a matter of reprimand?
It's already angry and complaining over there, big brother, he took your central order, and now that something happens, you have called people back!
"Let's go back first, I will deal with this matter."
Cao Nai couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the recital of Yulin Mansion is transferred from the Ministry of Officials, and tomorrow morning, someone will be impeached, I'm afraid it will ......."
"I know!"
Zhu Qizhen thought about it, Bei Lin was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand it, so he might as well come forward himself.
I just hope this guy doesn't pit himself......
Cao Nai shook his head helplessly and said, "The minister retreats." ”
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything more, bowed and saluted, and then left with Cao Nai.
The two came to the cabinet, and at this time the others were already on duty, and only one scribe was still on duty.
Cao Nai first sighed and said: "The emperor listens to and believes partially, and lets that Belin toss, if it goes on like this, there will be a lot of complaints, how is it good?" ”
"This king has also communicated with the royal brother about this matter, and Belin is there to save people, but the means are a little extreme."
"Saving people?" Cao Nai shook his head and said, "Just relying on a false prophecy, let people run to toss the army and civilians, and make people leave their hometowns under the banner of saving people and righteousness?" ”
The ancients valued the countryside, if it weren't for being forced with knives, no one would be willing to leave home unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhu Qiyu could almost imagine how many brutal and heinous means Bei Lin and the soldiers of the 3,000 battalions had exerted.
"Things have happened, there's no point in me complaining here, or think about how to deal with it tomorrow morning, when the time comes, there will be a few people who will be impeached, if people with ulterior motives take advantage of this to create rumors, things will not be easy to do."
After the two finished speaking, they were silent for a long time, and then Cao Nai said again: "The lower officials just don't understand, why does the emperor trust the northwest so much?" After all, there is no certainty in this world, otherwise it would be too simple to govern the world. That's it, the matter has come to this, and this mess can only be left to us to clean up. ”
…………
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qizhen got up early in the morning with great reluctance.
According to the time of the afterlife, it is only four o'clock in the morning, and getting up at this time is simply intolerable.
I don't even let me sleep if I'm lazy, what's the point of this emperor being fooled......
In fact, the civil and military officials were even more pressed, and they had to get up at three o'clock, and they were already waiting outside the noon gate at this time.
If it's summer, it's fine, but now it's winter, and it's snowing, if you have the conditions, you can only huddle in the sedan chair and shiver.
Especially those who speak official imperial history, even if they have money, they can't show it, because their positioning of themselves is a clear stream, and they have to show a posture of a clean breeze with two sleeves.
However, it was really cold.
The more these people think about it, the more angry they become, and the resentment in their hearts can't help but increase a little, and when they reach the palace, they will definitely impeach a few people fiercely, and show the evil anger in their hearts.
At the end of the day, there was a drum sound from the castle tower, and the palace gate was opened.
The hundred officials entered in turn under the leadership of Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, and crossed the Jinshui Bridge to form a team in the square.
This process is extremely rigorous, and if any of the officials coughs, spits, or walks unsteadily, they will be recorded by the imperial historian in charge of picketing, and they will be dealt with.
Coming to the Fengtian Temple, all the officials lined up according to their ranks, first the officials of the Honglu Temple went out of class, reported the number of people in the court, and the number of officials who entered Beijing to thank him and left Beijing to resign, and then, the early dynasty officially began.
