Chapter 50: Secret edict: Let those worms be punished!
"You guys are still not leaving, why are you standing there?"
He wanted to come to the Shanxi and Shaanxi side, Emperor Chongzhen, who was "anti-China and anti-Japanese", planned to write a secret edict to Zhou Yuji, but saw Wang Qia and others standing there, looking at him with a silence, frowned and said, "What? Are you having any objections to my decision?"
Wang Qia, who had been stolen, walked forward and bowed, "Your Majesty... the decrees you have put forward are important, can you..."
"Wang Qing! What I said is a decision, not a deliberate suggestion."
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned cold and he spoke: "After polishing the decisions recorded by the Military Affairs Office, he will do it immediately and issue an imperial edict!
All go back."
It was just a real shortage to promote Hong Chengchou to governor of Shaanxi and Chen Qiyu to governor of Yansui, so they all had to lead the lead, such as a certain title in the Censorate, but Emperor Chongzhen did not want to worry too much about these trivial matters.
Isn’t the purpose of establishing a Military Affairs Office to save yourself trouble and control the fight against rebels and bandits?
If you choose a minister to enter the Military Affairs Office, you have to work more and do more. Otherwise, you will inevitably have to mess with other things when you are idle.
“…”
Seeing that the emperor was so determined, Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin and others knew that this matter was not to be discussed, so they could only bow and leave the Dongnuan Pavilion.
As for how to polish and how to properly solve these problems, they have to return to the Military Affairs Office and discuss it carefully.
After all, these decisions made by the emperor are really important. If there is any storm in the court or in Shanxi, I am afraid that new storms will occur after Yang He’s suppression and exercising efforts.
Especially the first one, it is called the officials and gentry in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and even the vassal states, paying for money and food. No matter how you think about it, it is unrealistic.
The emperor was still stuck and was not allowed to be assigned to the local area. Once the military service department was found out by the front line, the Yongwei Battalion would be arrested and returned to Beijing.
‘The reason why the bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi rebelled so seriously is purely because they are powerful and powerful guys, each of them is too greedy.’
Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, picked up the imperial pen and under the service of Wang Chengen, he thought about the content of the secret edict he wanted to write for Zhou Yuji.
'These guys are purely borers of the Ming Dynasty, no less than the existence of the eight major Shanxi merchants. If this is the case, then take advantage of the chaos in Shanxi and ask Zhou Yuji to plan the matter of punishment in heaven!'
The Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty was the outbreak period of the Little Ice Age, and natural disasters frequently appeared in various parts of the Ming Dynasty like they didn’t have money.
Especially in the north of the Ming Dynasty, several major disasters were often sequentially, causing order in various parts of the north to become completely chaotic.
"I am in the inner court, but I am often worried about suppressing the rebellion and bandits. During these days, I have been reviewing documentary and memorials from Shanxi and other places.
The reason why all the thieves who were found to be unable to be wiped out was that they would restore peace in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In addition to the fact that the army of thieves could not unified the order and frequent local disasters occurred.
The most important point is to spread the evil gentry, bullies, and even the vassals of the prefectures and counties of Shanxi and Shaanxi!
The court spent all his efforts and spent countless money and food to pacify the place and return peace to Shanxi and Shaanxi.
But these hateful and killable borers do not understand the difficulties of the court at all, nor do they know how to be sympathetic to me!
When I was in the martial arts lecture hall in Xiyuan, I often mentioned that if everyone in the Ming Dynasty was selfish and did not think about the country or the country, would such a Ming Dynasty be saved?"
Because what Emperor Chongzhen planned was definitely a matter of defiance in the current mainstream of the Ming Dynasty.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to maintain the stability of his subjects under his rule, but he wanted to call the foreign Yongwei camp to draw out some elite troops, disguise themselves as bandit forces, and looted the gentry, landlord and other legal citizens of the Ming Dynasty in the name of raging bandits.
If this matter dares to break it up, then it will be fun to watch.
Therefore, when I wrote a secret decree to Zhou Yuji, I explained the previous causes in detail. After all, for Zhou Yuji, it was the first time that he had done such a thing.
Can it be accepted?
Can it be done well?
This is an unknown number for the current Emperor Chongzhen.
However, Emperor Chongzhen still believed in Zhou Yuji's loyalty.
"...Zhou Qing, if you want to do this, how to do it, I will not make a decision, and leave it to Zhou Qing to decide. Zhou Qing is under the rule of Shaanxi and is on the front line of suppressing rebellions and thieves. You should know the various bad deeds of these evil gentry and bullies.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to quell the rebellion and thieves, and wanted to return the peace in Shanxi and other places,
Then some things must be taken on the initiative.
This matter is of great importance. If Zhou Qing decides to do it, I believe in Qing's family, but the selected personnel must be loyal and reliable, and must not be known to anyone other than Qing's family..."
Seeing how he planned Zhou Yuji and asked the loyal tiger general to jump in, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh at himself.
My great emperor, I am so ignorant to anyone.
But in the face of such a bad situation, what can Emperor Chongzhen do?
Could it be that we were watching the raging bandit forces rush out of Shanxi and Shaanxi and rage towards the Central Plains? The dead people will only cause more damage to the Ming Dynasty!
"Parent Wang, take the secret box!"
After writing the secret edict, Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen and said to Wang Chengen beside him, then picked up the secret edict and blew the ink marks on it.
"The Emperor~"
Wang Chengen, who did not dare to neglect, hurriedly took the secret box, lowered his head and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen, took the secret box, put the secret edict inside, and locked it with a copper lock.
"Parent Wang, please seal this secret box. From the inner court, choose two loyal and reliable eunuchs, take a quick horse and leave Beijing and rush to Shaanxi to rule."
He handed the secret box in his hand to Wang Chengen, and Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Please hand it to Zhou Yuji in person and make sure that no outsiders see it. Remember, this matter is of great importance and you must not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Wang Chengen respectfully took the secret box and said solemnly: "If there is any mistake in this matter, I am willing to commit suicide!"
After serving the emperor for the years, Wang Chengen rarely saw the emperor. If he explains something so solemnly, the secret edict written must be no trivial matter.
"Go and do it."
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "After doing this, I will do everything I told you before. Calculate the time. Cao Wenzhao and others will arrive in the capital soon."
"Here!"
