"Palm print, this is a gift from the envoy Cui Zhicha, and this is the note of His Royal Highness King Qi."

On July 30, with the recovery of Kaiyuan and the northern section of the Great Wall, the Battle of Fuliao ended completely, and at the same time, Wei Zhongxian, who was "entrusted with important tasks", gradually raised his head.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I'll send it to Banzai later."

The celebrant and Wei Zhongxian did not open Zhu Youzhen's recital, or they didn't dare.

He just waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to send Song Shu to the Qianqing Palace, while he opened the gift from Cui Chengxiu.

This is a wooden box, and inside the box are gift lists, and after Wei Zhongxian opened these gift lists, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Seventeen gift lists, more than 90,000 taels of silver, seventeen mansions, more than 10,000 acres of land, and dozens of jewelry and jade, it can be said that Wei Zhongxian has never received such a big gift so far.

He put away the wooden box with satisfaction and opened the note sent by Cui Chengxiu.

[Ministers inspect South Zhili, Zhejiang, its salt tea ......]

Sprinkled with hundreds of words, Wei Zhongxian glanced at it, and only noticed the final amount of salt tax and tea tax.

More than 2,76,000 taels of salt tax silver, 720,000 taels of tea tax silver, 75 other houses, 352,300 taels of silver, more than 24,600 acres of land, more than 3,000 people implicated in the families of the main and accomplices, and 234 mansions.

The combined value of these things is more than 6.4 million ......

"Cui Chengxiu has done a good job, and now our family also has the capital to ask for credit."

Holding the song, Wei Zhongxian got up triumphantly, and then ordered someone to prepare a carriage and drive towards the Qianqing Palace.

Half an hour later, he got off at Donghua Gate, and then walked to the Qianqing Palace, and while entering the palace, he met Zhu Youxiao, who was handling wood on the Qianqing Palace.

"Long live, slaves and maids come to report the good news......"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian, he immediately put on a smiling face, and Zhu Youxiao also stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, what's the joy?"

"The first joy, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has recovered Kaiyuan, the Great Wall of Liaodong, and the whole territory of Liaodong has been recovered, this is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the slaves and maids have not seen it." Wei Zhongxian handed out Zhu Youzhen's note, and Zhu Youxiao also took it and asked:

"Where's the second joy?"

"Second Xi and Cui Chengxiu inspected Jiangnan, verified the salt tax and tea tax, and collected a total of more than 3.4 million taels of tax silver, and after implicating officials in raiding their homes, there were 3 million taels worth of acres of land and houses."

Wei Zhongxian handed over his invitation to the recital, and after Zhu Youxiao took it, he first glanced at the recital handed in by Zhu Youzhen.

In Zhu Youzhen's recital, he mainly explained the transfer of troops to prepare for the abolition of the guard post and the Beijing camp, and then said that the future garrison of Liaodong was the 34th battalion, which was mainly arranged outside the Great Wall, and then set the salary quota for the soldiers and horses in Liaodong.

The 34th battalion of the 34th Guard had a fixed salary of 1,800,000 taels, 1,000,000 taels of grain, 100,000 taels of silver for meat, and 100,000 taels of silver for horses, with a total of 2,000,000 taels of military pay and 1,000,000 taels of grain.

Compared with the previous military salary of four or five million taels in Liaodong, this expenditure made Zhu Youxiao feel very relaxed, so he handed it directly to Wei Zhongxian:

"Approve the red, and the mobilization of troops and horses in various departments is also all red, but the generals will arrive in Liaodong first to celebrate."

"Yes......" Wei Zhongxian responded, and then waited for the emperor to praise him.

After Zhu Youxiao handed over the recital, he also picked up Cui Chengxiu's recital and looked at it, and when he saw that the raid on the house involved more than 3,000 people, he said:

"Cui Chengxiu did a good job, he is worthy of being a person recommended by Zhongxian, all the acres of land are charged into the south field of the Imperial Horse Prison, and the mansion is charged into the imperial store, and the more than 3,000 people will be exiled to the Ryukyu Mansion, and the silver taels will be sent to the inner money."

Zhu Youxiao's sentence of silver taels was sent to the internal treasury, which was equivalent to the salt and tea classes of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and other Beijing and nine provinces.

In other words, this operation is to rob the money bag of the household department.

Wei Zhongxian understood the deep meaning of this move, but he didn't care about it at all, no matter how powerful Wenchen was? The emperor sheltered him.

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian responded, and was not unhappy because the fields and mansions were assigned to the imperial horse supervisor.

On the contrary, he was still a little happy, after all, in this way, His Royal Highness King Qi was probably very satisfied with his behavior.

With both the emperor and the king of Qi satisfied, what else could he Wei Zhongxian fear?

Thinking of this, he continued to say attentively:

"Long live, after the Jiangnan incident is over, why don't you send Cui Chengxiu back to investigate the Beijing officials?"

What Wei Zhongxian said was the list of more than 4,000 Beijing officials who were involved in the transfer of gunpowder and food last time, and the reason why Wei Zhongxian was so attentive was also because Yang Huan prepared a gift for him when Jinyiwei was raiding his home.

Wei Zhongxian is very reasonable, and since the civil officials have provoked the emperor and the king of Qi, he naturally has to behave well.

In case Zhu Youzhen is not satisfied with him, as soon as Zhu Youzhen returns, maybe his power will be deprived by the emperor.

Ranwen

Only if he shows value enough, he can feel at ease enough.

Therefore, cleaning up these 4,000 Beijing officials is naturally something he needs to do to please Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen.

"Hmm...... Otomo himself watched and did it. ”

Zhu Youxiao rarely called a big companion, which means that he is very satisfied with the choice made by Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian is also very happy when he sees this:

"Slaves and maids should be smeared with their livers and brains, and do their best."

"Let Cui Chengxiu and Yang Huan transport the southern Tianfu to the north by the way." Zhu Youxiao turned around and picked up the planer, and Wei Zhongxian also knew that Zhu Youxiao was busy with "business", so he immediately responded, and then withdrew from the palace.

It's just that after he withdrew from the palace, Zhu Youxiao, who had dug the wood a few times with a planer, suddenly said:

"How to ...... the people who copied the house of Yang Huan and Cui Chengxiu"

When this sentence was spoken, a person walked out from behind the thick pillars of the palace, and it was Lu Jianxing of the Jinyi Wei Supervision Division, and after walking out, he also bowed down and said:

"Most of them are diehards of the three parties of Zhejiang, Xuankun and ......"

"Hmm......" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a few seconds, and then said:

"Continue to supervise, inform my younger brother separately, and wait for the Beijing officials to be investigated before returning to the capital."

"Liaodong civil and military officials, those who should be promoted, I will promote them according to my younger brother's performance, and let them enter Beijing first."

"Yes......" Lu Jianxing responded, then got up and slowly exited the palace.

After his exit, only the sound of carpentry remained in the palace......

"Seventy-five, more than 3,600 people! Isn't this a provocation to the officials of the world? Isn't it trampling on the legal system of our ancestors?! ”

An hour later, in the Wenhua Palace, when Gao Panlong's roar of filial piety appeared, everyone frowned.

Since the compilation of "Shenzong Records" and the compilation of "Guangzong Records" a few days ago, Zhao Nanxing of the Ministry of Officials has reinstated Gao Panlongguan and transferred him back to the Imperial Procuratorate as the imperial history.

However, since he returned, this Wenhua Hall has not been quiet for a day.

Seeing that he was roaring filial piety, Zhao Nanxing, who was still in the ministry, frowned slightly and felt a slight headache.

After all, Zhao Nanxing is an existence that can fight with Shen Yiyi, the founder of the Zhejiang Party, and naturally knows why the new policies of the Qingliu people cannot be implemented, so after he served as the secretary of the ministry, he immediately arranged for Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, and Zuo Guangdou to take charge of the decrees of the imperial court.

Li Tengfang and Chen Yuting assisted in the election of the cabinet, Wei Dazhong and Yuan Huazhong were in charge of the imperial examination of the ministry, and Zheng Sanjun, Li Banghua, Sun Juxiang, Rao Shen, Wang Zhihuan and others were all placed in the ministry to govern.

And Zou Weilian, Xia Jiayu, Zhang Guangqian, Cheng Guoxiang, Liu Tingji and others, who were regarded as good officials in the hearts of the people, were placed in the important four divisions of the Ministry of Officials.

In this way, in the eyes of the people, Donglin officials seem to have become the first clear stream of the Ming Dynasty, and as for the filthiness in the secret, only those in power can know about it......

"It's the people of the three parties of Zhejiang, Xuankun, what does it have to do with you......" Zhao Nanxing complained in his heart, but he still comforted on his face:

"Save it (the table), at this time, we will discuss it later, and what I am invited to do now is to deal with the performance of the King of Qi first."

After Zhao Nanxing said this, he immediately turned his head to look at dozens of important ministers in the Wenhua Palace, including the cabinet, the six departments, the six sections, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi has made meritorious contributions, and a total of 323 civil and military ministers have been promoted, among which the main generals of the Four Route Army have been put on the list of meritorious services."

Zhao Nanxing accentuated his tone, then picked up the recital on the table, and said to Zhu Guozuo, Shen Yu, Qi Shijiao and others:

"Long live has agreed to play the song, the celebrant has approved the red, and the list of people who have made merit is ...... from top to bottom."

"Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi, plus the Jingcheng Jingluo, the first award from the first grade Ronglu doctor, from the first grade of the pillar country, the bounty of 1,000 taels, silver 10,000 taels."

"Sun Chengzong, the political envoy of Liaodong, was transferred from the first rank of the prince Taibao, transferred to the cabinet, and awarded the Wuyingdian University Scholar."

"Yuan Yingtai, the political envoy of Liaodong, was awarded the first rank of the prince and the first teacher, and the first second grade of the good doctor."

The most important in this battle, or the promotion of the three people involved in each party, was said by Zhao Nanxing, among which Xiong Tingbi was the Chu party, Yuan Yingtai was the Qin party, and Sun Chengzong was the Donglin party.

Although the three of them belong to three parties, everyone knows that Xiong Tingbi has already fallen out with the Chu Party, and the Qin Party where Yuan Yingtai is located has a small power.

As for Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party, he was actually transferred back to the capital and transferred to the cabinet by Zhu Youzhen, which is a bit of an eye medicine in the eyes of the five parties of Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun.

At present, Donglin only occupies one seat in the cabinet, while the five parties occupy five seats, if Sun Chengzong joins again, among the eight cabinet ministers, Donglin's power will be expanded.

Zhu Youzhen's behavior is hard not to make people feel that he is sowing discord.

But the question is, can the Donglin Party refuse to sow discord like this?

"The old man thinks that these three people can pass directly!"

Zhao Nanxing held up the song, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the party leaders frowned, but no one said anything to stop him.

Although Zhu Guozuo and Shen Yu didn't want Donglin to occupy two seats, at least the seats were not officials of the Qi Wang Party, and they also wanted to unite with Donglin to fight against Zhu Youzhen and maintain the current balance.

Therefore, the three people who were the most difficult to decide were passed in a delicate atmosphere.

Faced with Sun Chengzong's passage and transfer back to the capital, Zhao Nanxing was a little happy in his heart, and then continued:

"After the three of them, His Royal Highness the King of Qi will be on the list as the commanders and generals of the various armies."

"Qi Jin, the chief soldier of Liaoyang, was awarded the title of Zuo Governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, and was awarded the title of Protector of the Second Rank and the General of the Second Rank Jinwu."

"Qin Bangping, the chief soldier of Shenyang, was awarded the title of the governor of the right army and the left governor, and was awarded the second rank of the upper protector army and promoted to the second rank of General Jinwu."

"Daning General Soldier Mangui, enshrined as the Left Army Governor and the Right Governor, and awarded the ......"

"Sun Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Tianjin, was enshrined as the right governor of the right army and was awarded the ......"

The merits of the four military generals of the First Battle of Liaodong were reported, and it is worth noting that for these four people, Zhu Youjian's performance was to make them the left and right governors of the right army and the left army in the five army governors' mansions.

The right army governor's office, this place in the Yongle years is responsible for the Yunnan Division, Guizhou Division, Sichuan Division, Sichuan Division, Shaanxi Division, Shaanxi Division, Guangxi Division, and other seven divisions, and the guards are all over the five western provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

The Left Army Governor's Mansion is the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the Shandong Metropolitan Division, which are mainly outside the territory, involving three provinces.

Judging from Zhu Youzhen's division of these four people, it is obvious that he has to directly attack the guards in at least eight provinces, or actually six, because the guards in Liaodong and Shandong have already been renovated.

For such an arrangement, Zhu Guozuo and Shen Yu gritted their teeth, because in this regard, Zhejiang Dusi is particularly worthy of attention.

Zhejiang Metropolitan Division and its guard station have a total of 16 guards, involving nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses, more than 400,000 people, and 4.48 million acres of land.

Of course, this is data on paper, but in fact it may be more than that.

In any case, if Qi Jin and Man Gui were to be in charge of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, then the three provinces of Liaodong, Shandong, and Zhejiang would be under their control.

It's just that even if they are dissatisfied, the merit of these two people is really high, and if they are not allowed to enter the Governor's Mansion, then in terms of merit, it is estimated that they will be transferred to the capital as Beijing officials.

This is unacceptable to Zhu Guozuo and them.

In comparison, they could only endure the pain and let these four people successfully enter the Left and Right Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Nanxing glanced at Zhu Guozuo and Shen Yan, Qi Shijiao and others with some contempt, and then continued to read:

"Chongqing Bingbei Dao Hong Chengchou, enshrined as the political envoy of Yunnan Zuobu, crowned as the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi Province, and was first awarded the ...... from Sanpin Yazhong"

"Bijie Governor Sun Chuanting, enshrined as the political envoy of Shaanxi Zuobu, crowned the governor of the three sides, and promoted to the doctor from the three grades"

"Yang Wenyue, the governor of Guangdong, was awarded the title of Doctor Zhongshun of the fourth grade."

"Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiangxi, and the first doctor of Zhongshun of the fourth grade."

"Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Liaoyang, was appointed as the deputy envoy of Liaodong and the governor of Jianzhou, and was first awarded the doctor from the Sipin Dynasty."

After the four generals finished speaking, they reported on the civil servants who had made meritorious contributions in this battle, but unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng, who basically did not participate in the war, was mixed in the list.

The appearance of Lu Xiangsheng's name made Gu Tianjun's face ugly, because it showed that Lu Xiangsheng also took refuge in Zhu Youzhen and became the Qi Wang Party.

Lu Xiangsheng is a person, Gu Tianjun thought that he could fight for it, but now Zhu Youzhen's performance can be regarded as breaking everything.

His expression is naturally in the eyes of everyone.

In the final analysis, Lu Xiangsheng is the prefect of a place after all, and there are only more than 140 people in the Daming prefect, not to mention that Lu Xiangsheng is a talent who was promoted in the second year of the imperial examination high school.

However, everyone didn't want to laugh at Gu Tianjun, they just felt that Zhu Youzhen's performance this time was a bit interesting.

Let's not mention Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who are also political envoys and governors, which can be said to be a combination of military and political affairs.

However, after all, the place where they were canonized was Shaanxi and Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, far away from the rich land in the southeast, so Zhu Guozuo and others had no intention of resisting.

However, Wu Aheng and Yang Wenyue, a governor of Jiangxi and a governor of Guangdong, although they are still related to military power, these two people are from civil servants after all, if Zhu Youzhen shows his merit again and let them concurrently serve as political envoys in the future, then the situation will be a little bad.

Thinking of this, everyone frowned, but they still didn't say anything, but Zhao Nanxing's next words made everyone clench their fists.

"Qin Bangping, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, and Qin Banghan, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, were promoted to the commanders of Sichuan and Guizhou."

"Ma Xianglin, the chief soldier of Zunyi, was promoted to the commander of Yunnan."

"Qi Yuangong, the chief soldier of Kuandian, Qi Yuanfu, the chief soldier of Phoenix, and Qi Yuanbi, the chief soldier of Wusong, were promoted to the commanders of Zhejiang, Fujian, and the central capital."

"The chief soldier He Shixian is the general soldier of Liaodong, and You Shigong is the chief soldier of Jingcheng......"

"Staff General Wang Chong was promoted to the general army of Jianzhou, staff general Qin Gongming was promoted to commander of Sichuan Xingdu Division, and Qin Yiming was promoted to general army ...... Songpan"

"Qin Liangyu was canonized as the first-grade lady, posthumously presented her deceased husband Ma Qiancheng as the new uncle, and her daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi was canonized as the second-grade lady."

"The general soldier Zhang Jixian was transferred to the general army of Gansu Town and promoted to the second rank of the upper guard, Lu Qinping was transferred to the general army of Shanxi Datong, and the merits were offset, and Yang Zhaoji was transferred to the general army of Ningxia Town and promoted to the second rank of the upper guard."

"The chief soldier Cao Wenzhao was transferred to the chief soldier of Yansui Town, and he was awarded the captain of the fourth rank of the cavalry......"

"Counselor ......"

sprinkled with the canonization of more than 300 people, the more Zhao Nanxing read it, the more ugly the face of the minister in the main hall became.

Without him, Zhu Youzhen's performance skills almost covered the two capitals and fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for Huguang and Zhu Youzhen, who did not interfere, the rest of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces have his arrangements.

Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces have commanders, and Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Shaanxi have governors and commanders.

The most difficult thing is still Nanzhili, Zhu Youzhen also stationed soldiers and horses in Fengyang with an official position of "staying in the central capital".

As for the north, not to mention, Liaodong, Beizhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan are all the outer arch guard battalions and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

After such an arrangement, if Wenchen makes any more small moves, I am afraid that Zhu Youzhen will be able to control the two capitals and thirteen provinces between thunder.

The rest of the lake will be taken down in an instant.

"The emperor really dares to agree......"

Zhu Guozuo almost gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao was really not afraid of his younger brother's rebellion.

With this arrangement, if the cabinet, the six ministries, and the six departments all agree, then it will really be handled by Zhu Youzhen at will in the future.

"This is a transficent!"

Sure enough, as everyone expected, hearing Zhu Youzhen's arrangement, Gao Panlong immediately got up, and Wan Yanyang also echoed:

"Since ancient times, I have never heard of just one war, and all the generals will be promoted and arranged in the world!"

"If His Royal Highness the King of Qi really has no intention of rebellion, then he should return to the capital and dictate it in the court to show his merits!"

Zhu Youzhen did not return to the capital, and had to say that he let the ministers throw a mouse trap.

Not to mention the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, just the soldiers and horses belonging to the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Shangzhi and the north are enough to take down the entire northern one capital and four provinces in a few days.

As long as one capital and four provinces are taken, the rest of the places may not be able to spend much energy.

Therefore, compared with the original idea of preferring to drive Zhu Youzhen far away, what the current ministers want to do most is for Zhu Youzhen to stay in the capital honestly.

Staying in the capital, it is better to stay in the imperial city or outside the city.

"When you ask for long live, transfer back to the king of Qi, and build the palace of the king of Qi, please ask the king of Qi to temporarily serve in the capital and become a vassal."

Zhu Youzhen's arrangement was too big, even Ye Xianggao had to weigh his mouth, instead of blindly covering up Zhu Youzhen and helping Zhu Youzhen and the mud.

For a while, the entire Wenhua Hall was noisy, and everyone was talking about how to arrange Zhu Youzhen and let Zhu Youzhen come back.

But they also all know that no matter how they urge, as long as the emperor does not agree, then Zhu Youzhen can stay in Liaodong forever.

Compared with them, Zhu Youxiao has a more long-term vision, and asked Cao Huachun to tell his younger brother a long time ago not to come back in a hurry, and repeated the reminder three times or twice.

To put it bluntly, for the next political whirlpool in the capital, Zhu Youxiao is not ready to let his younger brother wade into this troubled water.

It is easy to lead the army, enter the customs and slaughter, and with a wave of the hand, those barking officials and imperial historians will fall, but what about after that?

It sounds very good, as long as there is a need, the scholars of the world will squeeze their heads to join the court.

But if Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen really use this method, then there will really be people who will squeeze their heads to join?

Sima Yi pointed to Luo Shui as an oath not to kill Cao Shuang, and finally raised a knife to kill Cao Shuang's entire family, this move made Huaxia's moral level directly cut in half, and people no longer believed in the oath, because some people dared to tear the world as an oath.

So the question is, if the two brothers raised troops to kill the ministers, then what would be the reaction of the people in the world?

The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy......

Since ancient times, it is not that no one has directly lifted a knife to kill the heads of Wenchen, but what are these kings in front of them? What's behind you?

The strong one, the bomb in front of him, and the Wenchen behind him accumulating strength to fight back, using world governance and public opinion propaganda to make the next generation of kings restricted by Wenchen.

The weak person was overturned by Wenchen and others in front of him, and his body was in a different place......

No one dares to say eternity, this is the same as whether the dynasty is a feudal monarchy, or other systems.

Most of the ministers in the world are connected with the township party and are involved in blood.

It is useless to kill the minister, and the township party behind them will recommend new people.

Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang kill anyone? Tens of thousands of civil officials died, and as a result, the imperial examination in his later years was not a comeback after a civil servant recuperated.

If it is said that one person is killed and his three children are forbidden to participate in the imperial examination, then there are more than 2 million officials in the world, and more than ninety percent of the literate population of the Ming Dynasty is involved.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen killed without raising troops.

It's just killing people, killing people's heads, and it can only solve a temporary problem, and what he wants to do is to support a new civilian student force to fight against the civilian forces of the old system.

The two learn differently, and the values produced are different.

This is like some modern ordinary college students, but they think that they can go back to ancient times to be a high school scholar and champion.

The difference in learning system and values will eventually be the collision of old and new concepts, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be the beneficiaries of this collision.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Guozijian's students the status of "protégés of the Son of Heaven", and then used their inner vanity to attack other student officials besides them.

Military generals often do not kill people at every turn because of differences in military opinions, but once the civil servants have different political views, it is a party struggle for a hundred years.

Wenchen was noisy, worried and afraid, not because they knew that Zhu Youzhen not only had an army, but he also had hundreds of thousands of students from Yanshan Academy.

These students are the ones they are most afraid of......
