When Huang Liji left the palace gate alone, his steps were staggering, and his expression was lonely.

He handed over all the silver sent by the Shaanxi political envoy to His Majesty's internal money, and His Majesty did not investigate his fault this time, but the shock in Huang Liji's heart was greater than ever.

When the housekeeper next to him saw Huang Liji coming out of the palace, he also hurriedly ran up and helped Huang Liji up, "Master, what did Your Majesty say over there, did he blame you for this incident?" ”

Huang Liji just shook his head, looked at the gray sky again, turned his head to look at the housekeeper next to him, and muttered, "From today onwards, whether it is an official or a businessman, don't accept all the filial piety they send, and I have also collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver over the years." ”

"It's all this silver, if there is no unfilial son in my family, it won't be spent for three generations, it's enough."

"Tell your subordinates, tell the ladies of each room, young master, if anyone dares to accept bribes outside, rape and plunder in the future, regardless of whether the court pursues him or not, the old man will definitely chop him up first."

The housekeeper was also stunned when he heard this, their master has never been so honest and honest, and a good minister who disciplines his family.

But now that the master has entered the Forbidden City to meet His Majesty once, there has been such a big change.

The housekeeper glanced in the direction of the palace gate, and sighed in his heart, Your Majesty is really not an ordinary emperor, and he can make this old man's stubborn stone be ignited.

Huang Liji was helped into the carriage, and then the housekeeper heard Huang Liji say in the carriage, "Tonight..."

Huang Liji suddenly didn't know what to call his group, but in the end he still chose the most direct title, "Invite several ministers of the eunuch party who are above the fifth rank to my mansion, and I will have a banquet for them tonight." ”

There are not too many officials above the fifth grade in the capital, but there are definitely not a few.

The housekeeper was a little worried, "Master, we are a little too ostentatious in doing this, Your Majesty knows about this matter, I don't know if I will mind, this is a bit unsophisticated." ”

Yes, he Huang Liji, a first-auxiliary university scholar, summoned so many officials above the fifth grade in the capital to his private residence, what did he want to do?

Who knows if they are plotting to rebel?

But Huang Liji in the carriage did shake his head and said: "Your Majesty won't mind, this thing is what Your Majesty asked me to do, and the eunuch party is about to change." ”

Sun Chuanting's army carried a large amount of baggage, and the march was slow, and Liu Hongxun was also anxious, and the wheels of the carriage were thrown off by him, and finally kept up with the army.

He could sensitively perceive that this was a good opportunity for their Donglin Party members to make Zhu Youxiao change his mind.

If he can handle this matter well this time, then they Donglin Party members may still be able to be used in front of His Majesty.

In fact, this is a hint from Zhu Youxiao.

Liu Hongxun guessed which minister His Majesty would use as the representative of the new forces of the Donglin Party.

Originally, there was already Sun Chengzong Xu Guangqi, but these two people could only be mascots, and His Majesty also needed a ruthless, capable and obedient person.

But Liu Hongxun didn't expect that His Majesty would choose him in the end.

The officials of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department had already arrived and were waiting at the city gate.

After Sun Chuanting, Liu Hongxun, and Tian Ergeng all arrived, these officials hurriedly greeted them.

Tian Xinyi, the political envoy of the two Zhejiang Cheng, looked at the 30,000 troops behind Sun Chuanting and was also surprised.

When he saw the Guards, his first feeling was one, that is, majestic.

Just looking at the murderous aura on the faces of the guards, as well as this neat queue, Tian Xinyi felt a little emotional, he had hardly seen this kind of spirit on any Ming army.

Even this time, Xu Xianchun and the others carried two Apocalypse II artillery, but they were all wrapped in tarpaulins.

Tian Xinyi and the others only saw the thing like two giant beasts wrapped in oilcloth, and thought that it should be artillery.

The officials were very curious about the muskets and artillery of these guards, because they had all heard that His Majesty was able to defeat Jiannu mainly because of these muskets and artillery.

There was once a rumor that the price of these muskets and cannons was at least two or three times higher than the price of ordinary muskets and artillery.

But now it is enough to prove that no matter how much more these musket guns cost than the price of ordinary muskets, it is a good deal.

Because Jiannu's strength has been greatly damaged this time, I am afraid that I will not have the strength to launch a large-scale attack on Daming for more than ten or twenty years.

I'm afraid that now Jiannu can't even solve the Mongolian rebellion, how they controlled Mongolia back then, and how to accept Mongolia's backstab now.

Jiannu no longer has the ability to attack the Central Plains, so the army of the Nine Sides can already be dismantled.

In fact, they heard that the army of the Nine Sides had already been removed by His Majesty.

Liaodong originally had two or three hundred thousand border troops, but now there is only one Lu Xiangsheng, who has been reorganized into 30,000 people.

Among these three people, Liu Hongxun should be the leader, and originally Sun Chuanting and Tian Ergeng were not very good at dealing with this kind of officialdom.

At this point, Liu Hongxun is very good.

He chatted with these officials of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department very happily.

It's just that Tian Xinyi is also a smart person, although he chatted very happily with this Liu Hongxun, but he did not snub Sun Chuanting and Tian Ergeng.

Because he knows very well that these two people are really His Majesty's henchmen.

There are two people, Sun Chuanting and Tian Ergeng, who said a few good words about him in front of His Majesty, which is much more useful than Liu Hongxun who said good things about him.

He arched his hand to Xu Xianchun and said, "General Xu, Commander Tian, this military camp has already been set up for you outside Suzhou City, and a large amount of grain and grass materials are also in the military camp. ”

Sun Chuanting gave a gift, just like the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Tian Ergeng reluctantly arched his hand, he was originally cold, and he had been eating in Jinyiwei for a long time, which also made his personality even more gloomy.

However, Tian Ergeng still barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Then thank you for Futai's strong support." ”

Although Tian Ergeng was a little cold, Tian Xinyi didn't mind.

He had already inquired about Tian Ergeng's character, coupled with Tian Ergeng's identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, even if Tian Ergeng pointed at him and scolded him, he didn't dare to do anything to others.

He just said to Liu Hongxun and the three again: "The three of them have come here specially, and we should do our best as landlords, why don't we hold a banquet for you tonight in Futai Yamen?" ”

In fact, Liu Hongxun was tired of traveling and felt quite tired, but when they came here to do business, they also needed the help of Tian Xinyi, a local snake, and it was not good to be too cold to others.

He glanced back at Sun Chuanting and Tian Ergeng, and found that these two people had no opinions.

The two people here are military generals, and their bodies and bones are much better than him, he doesn't have any opinions, how can people have opinions.

Liu Hongxun was helpless, bowed to Tian Xinyi, and said, "Then tonight, I'll be disturbed later." ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
