At the end of December, it was the day of the Lunar New Year.

King Ning's rebellion could come to an end in the eleventh year of Zhengde, and Zhu Houzhao was still satisfied with the performance of Zhou Shangwen and others.

A Zhu Chenhao really doesn't need him much as an emperor,

But without this emperor, the chaos caused by the rebellion of the vassal kings would cause deep and long-lasting disasters to the Jiangnan area.

Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, is different in Nanjing,

Close to Nanchang, close to the whirlpool, many things do not have to run thousands of miles, you can get the holy decree in a few days by boat, and under the pressure of the emperor, the efficiency is high, so the order is restored quickly.

Zhu Houzhao was originally indifferent to festivals, and even more indifferent to how an emperor celebrated festivals, rather than being used as ornaments to do so many sacrificial ceremonies, it was better to use war as an excuse to withdraw.

However, Ming Xiaoling, the ancestor of Zhu Yuanzhang, still has to worship.

For the others, he sent Cheng Guogong and Wei Guogong to replace him, which was one of the few roles of the old faction of nobles.

And he himself summoned Zhang Xuan, Zhang Zilin, Jing Shaokui, Zhang Yong and other officials to quickly deal with all kinds of post-war affairs.

It is rare to see so many busy people in the imperial palace in Nanjing.

"In the middle of winter, the weather is cold, and there is war, and it must be difficult for the people to survive the bitter cold of this winter......"

Zhu Houzhao was standing by the fire and talking, in fact, it was snowing outside.

Covered with snow and staining this red palace white, it was originally a holy landscape, but no one had the heart to appreciate it.

Zhu Houzhao is afraid of heat and cold, but he is ...... Winter is colder again......

This may have been a psychological delusion formed by him knowing the facts in advance, but in terms of the degree of coldness alone, it was at least ten degrees lower than he felt.

"After the war, the bureaucratic system must first be rebuilt, and the officials who were killed by Ning Reyi before, the imperial court must not forget, and those who should be posthumously sealed must be posthumously sealed, and if there are descendants, all academies, including the Navy and Army Academy, must be inclined when recruiting. Some officials who have made meritorious contributions this time will be promoted on the spot, and the prefect can make an exception and directly promote them to political envoys and probationary envoys as a sign of commendation. However, Zheng Yu, the governor of Jiangxi, did not move for the time being, he had patrolled Jiangxi for many years, and his prestige was very high, and he was ordered to rule all the prefectures in Jiangxi. ”

Zhu Houzhao turned around and pointed at Fan Yuchang behind him, "The decree makes it clear that after the officials are in place, they must quickly find out the victims in each prefecture, open the granaries as soon as possible to provide assistance, and there must be no more civil unrest after the chaos." ”

The emperor dictated, and Fan Yuchang had to write it immediately and convert it into written language.

This is a skill that a squire must have.

In fact, there are some 'unspoken rules' for officialdom promotion.

The most typical, for example, in the early years of Zhengde, everyone felt that the Beijing officials were better than the local officials.

Even if it is the third grade of the Beijing official, it is better than the second grade of the magistrate.

For example, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the third grade, and the political envoy is from the second grade, and the rank of the official is definitely high, but in terms of who is better, nine out of ten people will choose the waiter, and the remaining one is also not good.

You become a squire, that is, the core of the Beijing official, every day on duty to meet Shangshu, business transactions are also Shangshu directly with you dialogue, when you go out, you meet the waiter of other departments, once Shangshu is old or has a problem, there is a great chance to replace.

But the political envoy?

It was far from it, especially after orthodoxy, when the governor gradually changed from a temporary official to a fixed official, and became a de facto feudal official, and the gold content of the political envoy declined even more.

It is not easy for the emperor to remember all the powerful people in the Beijing circle, let alone remember the small envoys of which province.

Until Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne.

On the one hand, he sent a large number of his henchmen to these official positions, and then created a 'precedent' by promoting them, thus gradually breaking through the stereotype.

For example, Zhang Zilin, who was promoted earlier, was only a political envoy, and it was absolutely impossible to be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in one step.

But in the Zhengde Dynasty, there is nothing possible or impossible, and the will of the Son of Heaven is possible.

The rules of officialdom are set by the officials themselves, which is the stupidest thing an emperor can do.

“…… The prefects of Raozhou Prefecture, the prefect of Anqing Prefecture and the prefect of Linqing Prefecture all performed well in this counterinsurgency, not to mention how talented they are, at least they are loyal and credible, have good courage, and are sober at critical moments. On the occasion of this chaos, they are being used to stabilize the officialdom of various provinces. ”

Zhu Houzhao is still making an order, "The prisoner sacrifice ceremony will be held on an auspicious day in the first month, and there is no hurry to carry it out, let them finish the matter at hand first." In addition to maintaining stability, the next thing is how to deal with this reverse case......"

Jin Yiwei commanded Mao Wen, and deputy commander Han Ziren was here.

When the Son of Heaven arrived in Nanjing, of course they had to wait in the palace.

"This reverse case is implicated in the Qingtian Order of the Imperial Court, and the Jiangnan officialdom was shaken before, and Jiangnan people are indispensable in this reverse case, so the slightest clues have to be dug deep."

With the words of the Son of Heaven, Jinyiwei understands.

At this moment, there is no obstruction from the annoying literati, and Yang Tinghe was imprisoned, which caused a shock to the court, and many people no longer hit the iron wall with their own flesh and blood.

The changes in Jiangnan are no longer stoppable.

Zhang Xuan could feel the killing intent in the emperor's words.

Zhu Houzhao did not shy away from it, "I will not hide it from you, in my planning, the future of the Jiangnan region must be rich and prosperous, on the one hand, there are seaports, commercial trade is constantly immersed in various provinces, counties, and even villages, no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth." On the other hand, Jiangnan is a place where humanity gathers, and as long as Chengping is peaceful, it has always been a place where people will be everywhere. So Jiangnan can't be subjected to the second rebellion of King Ning! ”

In other words, this time it is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles!

"Mao language, Han Ziren."

The two of them stepped forward and knelt down together, "The minister is here." ”

"You start with the gentry of King Ning's rebellion, follow the clues, no matter who you meet, I will not let go. When the Marquis of Jingyu returns to Nanjing, I will lead 60,000 troops to be stationed in Jiangnan, and when the time comes, take a look at what is the surname of the He family, and then dare to say that if you move them, you will move the foundation of the imperial court! From today onwards, you will scatter all the captains in brocade clothes, and go quickly! ”

"Yes!"

He still has the Shenwu Guard and the Six Guards in his hands, and the defense of the Imperial City of Nanjing no longer needs the guards here.

He's here, taking care of the follow-up to the rebellion.

Jiangnan was not untamable, at least later the Manchus did.

And it has solved the old and difficult problem of tax arrears.

Then again, why are these people in arrears?

It's not that there are people in the DPRK yet.

But when using the people of the DPRK and China, it is necessary to divide the time, and if it is linked to the case of rebellion, this matter will not be fun, and most people will avoid it.

Mao Yuyu didn't care about this year's holiday, and immediately started to act after receiving the holy decree.

Among the Jinyi guards, there were originally spies placed in King Ning's mansion, and they were just used at this time.

He asked Han Ziren to transfer all the people, and more than a dozen came.

These people were amazed to see each other,

"It's you!"

"Why are you too?"

There is a feeling of this.

Fortunately, Lord Ti Shuai sat on it, and everyone did not dare to be presumptuous.

However, Mao still thinks it is exaggerated.

Han Ziren comprehended, "After the establishment of the Nanzhen Fusi Internal Affairs Office, he has been installed in the Ning Shun Mansion, and he has been the most restless over the years, so naturally there are more." ”

"It's okay, let's get started." Mao Yuyu took a sip of tea, "Since they are all Jinyi Guards, then we are our own people who close the door and talk." The emperor has already made a decree to thoroughly investigate the collusion between the Jiangnan gentry and Ning Rebellion. You were all in his house at the time, and you explained everything you saw and heard about how these people colluded with Ning Reyi and who colluded with him. The emperor can't remember your little merit, Ben Shuai will give you credit in the Jinyi Guard, a hundred or even a thousand households can also be. ”

Among them was the little maid next to the princess Lou, Yuanxia.

She was one of the only two women in the audience, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel interested, "Ning Shun has a favorite concubine, surnamed Lou." On weekdays, Ning rebellious calls her Concubine Lou, because she is the daughter of Lou Liang, she is knowledgeable, good-looking, intelligent and quiet, so she is very fond of her. Probably because of Lou Liang's relationship, many scholars have also heard of her reputation. Therefore, in the name of Lou's old name, there are a few that are linked to Ning Wangfu. ”

Mao Yuyu's eyes fell on this woman, and he asked, "Can the princess see outsiders?" Don't you need to avoid suspicion? ”

Yuanxia said: "If you want to contact King Ning, you can naturally let your lady come forward, if you really can't, then offend and write letters, these gentry are trying all kinds of ways to survive." ”

Madame Diplomacy!

Mao Wenwen and Han Ziren smiled when they met.

"But ......"

"But what?"

However, Concubine Lou did not agree with King Ning's rebellion, and persuaded her several times, but Ning was obsessed and never changed, and finally went to a dead end. Therefore, it is not difficult to check the gentry who have shown up under Ning Rebellion's account. The subordinates also knew that some people were blocked by the Lou clan and were not satisfied. ”

Mao Yuyu's eyes lit up, "If you have a rebellion, you will also be a rebel." These people should not be let go. Tell me, who are they! ”

"There should be a family surnamed Wang in Wuxi County, and it is the same family as the Yixing Wang family, and they have all sent people."

"Record it fast!"

……

Yuanxia is right, does the surnamed Xu under the account of King Ning's Mansion still need to be checked?

At the beginning of the war, the ancestral graves of that family were dug up.

The point is that these are unknown.

If he could find out to such an extent, he would be able to report the word 'clean' to the emperor.

After that, the captains of the Nanjing City began to ride out of the city, and they took all kinds of clues and went straight to each house.

Open the door is a word,

"Traitor! Take the whole family away! ”

After these people are arrested, they will be tried one by one, and the people implicated will not be counted for a while.

So much so that the former left capital of the imperial capital, Fei Hong, who guarded filial piety at home, went to Nanjing to see the emperor and intercede with the emperor.

Fei Hong is the champion of Chenghua for 23 years, is the old official of the East Palace, after changing the Yuan Zhengde, he successively served as the governor of Sichuan and Fengyang, and later went to Beijing to serve as the imperial history of the left capital, Zhengde eight years, his mother died, so he returned home to worry.

In addition, he is also a native of Jiangxi, the Fei family is a big family in the local area, and his second uncle Fei Xuan and fifth uncle Fei Rui are all officials in the court. But because he didn't obey King Ning, he was retaliated.

After the Son of Heaven arrived in Nanjing, Fei Hong felt the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, so he came to visit him again, hoping to kill less.

Zhu Houzhao saw that he saw him, Fei Hong was upright after all, and he was able to stick to the bottom line, draw a clear line with King Ning, and did not lose the face of the old man in the Qiandi, of course Fei's family jumped to the loyal family.

But even when he arrived in Nanjing, he only got a stern sentence that 'the gentry of Jiangnan lost to me first'.

And it's not a good thing to be disappointed by the emperor in this kind of year......
