But the Military Affairs Office is different.
I haven't seen it or heard of it.
It is purely specially designed to suppress the rebellion. If the rebellion is over, wouldn’t the special military office have no meaning of existence?
Moreover, the Military Affairs Office must go through the Ministry of War to complete the process. In addition, the Minister of War Wang Qiao and the Left Minister of War Li Banghua all serve in the Military Affairs Office.
This also made many court officials, especially the Donglin Party members, relaxed their vigilance about this.
It was because Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of this lax mentality that he had to use the Military Affairs Office to seize the central privileges of Liaodong, Shanxi and Shaanxi, these two places for fighting rebellion.
It is never easy to fight and play against the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. They are not individuals, but behind them, they represent groups of forces.
"It's embarrassing. My Ming Dynasty's face is so embarrassing."
Emperor Chongzhen looked cold and looked at the ministers in front of him and said in a deep voice: "As the great relatives of the Ming Dynasty, they did not want to be loyal to the country, but they secretly connected Li Ruzhen, the eight major thieves and other traitors, and secretly colluded with the Ming Dynasty's mortal enemy, the former slaves of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Tianqi Dynasty, the traitors led by Tang Guozuo secretly communicated with Jianlu, reselled secrets of the state court, secretly smuggled iron, firearms and other prohibited items from the state court, causing the good strategies set by the state court to be completely destroyed.
Even this time, I have resettled the victims who fled and took advantage of the chaos in Shanxi, but the crisis encountered by the state government, secretly raised the prices of grain and distributed prices, and made great money in the national crisis.
Like these unfaithful and unfilial people, I want to take their titles and execute them all to death, implicating the three tribes!!!”
Emperor Chongzhen's angry voice echoed around the Qianqing Gate area. The cabinet ministers, Shufu, court officials and others kneeling on the ground all showed shock and incredible expressions.
They never expected that Tang Guozuo and other honorary relatives who were arrested would dare to do such a traitor.
Even Li Ruzhen, who was once arrested, and the eight major thieves who were arrested in Jin, were closely linked to them.
"The Cabinet and the Military Affairs Office have issued an edict to me to send all the crimes of these traitors to me to all parts of the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, looked at Han Du, Wang Qia and others kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "I want the world to know.
These unfaithful and unfilial traitors enjoyed the privileges granted by the Ming Dynasty, ate the imperial grain of the Ming Dynasty, and received the Ming Dynasty's salary, but dared to do such a heinous crime.
The heads of these traitors have been spread throughout the world to me.
I want to order the Hanlin Academy to compile the record of traitors. I want people all over the world to know what these traitors do, so that they will never turn over!"
In this shattered Ming Dynasty, if you want to rectify the administration and the atmosphere, you have to use something they care about to shock them.
A previously clear record of corrupt officials due to the corruption of Shanxi's administration.
Now, because of the secret communication between the army and the enemy, the record of traitors is clearly defined.
They are the two powerful tools held by Emperor Chongzhen.
When I kill some people in the future, I will add them to these two episodes. Damn it, don’t they all like to raise hope?
OK!
