The actions carried out by the Inner Factory and the West Factory under the emperor's order to purge the Imperial Manor under the name of the Inner Court undoubtedly added some variables to the already uneventful court situation.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't care about this. After beating Cao Huachun and others, he put down what he was doing and went to the British Duke's Mansion before leaving the palace.

When the country was in turmoil, Zhang Weixian was entrusted with important responsibilities by himself. In order to stabilize the order of the capital after the emperor left the capital, Zhang Weixian became the auxiliary minister. On the eve of his triumphant return to the court, he was seriously ill and bedridden.

Emperor, if you don't pay attention to this, you will inevitably be labeled as cool.

"Sun Qing, you really didn't disappoint me."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the soft cushions, looked at Sun Zushou who was sitting respectfully and Sun Chuanting beside him, and said with a smile: "In just a few days, we can clarify the relationship between the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Five Cities Patrol."

He took over the authority of the City Censor's Office and selected the soldiers and horses that originally guarded the city, which was a good job."

Sun Zushou was overjoyed when he was praised, but on the outside he looked a little frightened. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the work of one person.

Without His Majesty's planning and Sun Fuyin's help, I would never have been able to do this well, and I would have even failed to live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."

After Sun Zushou said this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting who looked calm, and said with emotion, after all, he was a good minister in the late Ming Dynasty. He summoned him for the first time, but he didn't show any signs of panic.

"Bo Ya, you have worked hard during this period."

Emperor Chongzhen, who calmed down his mind, smiled slightly and said: "At this time of national crisis, I entrust you with the heavy responsibility of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, which is really a bit embarrassing for you.

But during my personal expedition and leaving the capital, you were able to cooperate with the court to appease the people and stabilize food prices. Without true talent, it is absolutely impossible to achieve these results."

Without the external trouble caused by Jianlu, Emperor Chongzhen also had extra time to meet with the ministers he relied on after all the relevant matters were sorted out.

If he wants to check and balance the imperial court, he must suppress the party that has emerged on the surface, so that the ministers in the court can act in the direction he envisions, prepare to build the imperial party, and reuse the imperial party. This is what Emperor Chongzhen wants to do.

"Compared with what your Majesty has done, what I have done is insignificant." Sun Chuanting bowed his hands respectfully and saluted Emperor Chongzhen: "But your Majesty, in recent days, there have been a lot of returnees here in the capital.

Among those living in Beijing, except for some who have abundant wealth, the rest are all runaways from various places."

"As for this matter, Boya, your Shuntian government office can do this."

After listening to what Sun Chuanting reported to him, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, stretched out his hand and said: "Temporarily house these fleeing households who have flocked to the capital area, take some measures to prevent epidemics, and register them.

If there are craftsmen among them, they will be registered separately, and after the renovation of the imperial village is completed, they will be placed in batches under the jurisdiction of the imperial villages in various places."

"I accept the decree."

Affected by the Jianlu invasion of the Ming Dynasty, the entire capital was in panic, which also caused a large number of dignitaries and tenants under the names of officials and gentry to flee south. However, with Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition, the situation gradually became clearer and people fled south.

The groups began to return again.

Emperor Chongzhen knew clearly that land annexation under the Ming Dynasty was serious. It was easy for these bankrupt groups to escape, but it was difficult to come back. They would inevitably suffer further exploitation.

Fortunately, under the purge of Wang Cheng'en, Fang Zhenghua and others, Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court not only uncovered a large number of domestic thieves, but also the extra land under their names will be under the jurisdiction of Huangzhuang.

Emperor Chongzhen planned to use this as a basis and no longer continue to expand the scale of the imperial estate. At that time, he would prepare to build some industries to expand internal fund income.

"Your Majesty, the British government has arrived."

Zhu Chunchen's voice sounded outside the imperial palace. Emperor Chongzhen raised his robe sleeves and raised his sword eyebrows. Under the salutes of Sun Zushou and Sun Chuanting, he stood up and walked towards the imperial palace.

"My lord, Zhang Zhiji, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

As Emperor Chongzhen walked out of his royal chariot, he saw the middle door of the British Duke's Mansion wide open. Everyone, headed by Zhang Zhiji, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to welcome the holy chariot.

"Your Majesty~"

Zhang Shize, who was waiting next to the imperial driver, moved the horse stool early, with a serious look on his face, and reminded him respectfully in a low voice.

"Let's go, come with me."

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Shize, flicked his robe sleeves and said, "I was negligent. I didn't ask you to leave the palace these past few days and come back to take care of the British prince."

As the eldest grandson of the British Duke, Zhang Weixian was seriously ill and bedridden. Zhang Shize should be taken care of by his bedside. He could be selected as the avant-garde of the government army. After returning to Beijing in triumph with the emperor, he was busy obeying orders in front of the emperor. Emperor Chongzhen was busy

All kinds of government affairs, I couldn't come back.

"It is my duty to be loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Shize, with red eyes, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "If my grandfather knew..."

"Let's go."

Emperor Chongzhen stepped down from his chariot, grabbed Zhang Shize's hand, and walked quickly towards the middle gate of the British Duke's Mansion under the astonished gaze of everyone.

This simple action by Emperor Chongzhen made Zhang Shize burst into tears of gratitude, and the people accompanying him on the left and right were filled with emotion. Zhang Zhiji, who called out to greet him, was extremely excited after seeing it.

"How is the British father doing now? I'm late."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was dragging Zhang Shize along, saw Zhang Zhiji and said, "Let's go, take me to the British Crown Prince's residence, and talk as we go."

"I obey the decree!"

Putting aside everything else, the lineage of the British Duke interprets the meaning of separation from the country. During the Jiashen national disaster, Zhang Shize, who attacked the British Duke, was killed by Li Zicheng's troops.

In fact, the relatives of the Ming Dynasty are really a very contradictory group. There are many who are greedy and selfish in their daily lives, but when the Ming Dynasty encountered national calamity, there were also some who acted extremely loyal.

When dealing with the Ming Dynasty's relatives, we must use them, but we must use them conditionally. If we can use them well, it will be good for Ming Dynasty. If we use them badly, it will weaken Ming Dynasty's family and damage a lot of vitality.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was walking in the British palace, had complicated thoughts for a while. When he thought that he was going to see Zhang Weixian who was seriously ill, he could no longer keep the empty promise he had promised.

This kind of thing can never happen again.

He also had a bit of a headache when it came to the Ming Dynasty's descendants. There was still room for improvement among the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, but most of those who were now granted titles could not be used directly.
