New Year’s Eve is approaching, and snowflakes are falling again in the north.
"Your Majesty, Qintian Supervisor Beilin wants to see you!"
"Beilin is back?" Zhu Qizhen raised his head with joy on his face, "Hurry up!"
This trip to northern Shaanxi can be said to have saved all the people from the fire and water, and made everyone look at him with admiration.
Not long after, Bei Lin and Li Zhen walked into the royal study together.
"Your Majesty, Beilin, comes to see the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Li Zhen, comes to see the Emperor!"
"You two gentlemen, please get up!"
Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said: "Very good, very good! Yulin Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture and all states and counties have sent memoranda to write down the achievements of the two Qings.
Especially in Suidezhou and Mizhi counties, the local gentry even presented the Book of Ten Thousand People, and they treated you like living gods!"
"The emperor is so ridiculous that I really don't dare to be a humble minister!"
Beilin seemed a little embarrassed. She was an upright person, and she was the kind of person who couldn't wait until dawn for revenge, but she couldn't bear to praise her, and she would blush when someone praised her.
Zhu Qizhen continued: "Li Shimian has retired and returned to his hometown. The post of supervisor is vacant. I intend to let the Qing family be in charge of the Qintian Supervisor. How about it?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Unexpectedly, when Beilin heard that she was going to be promoted, there was no joy on her face, but a solemn look on her face.
Zhu Qizhen thought he had some concerns, so he asked: "Don't worry about the Qing family, I will help you solve those stubborn old people!"
"That's not what I meant!"
Bei Lin thought for a while and said: "If the emperor intends to reform the Qintian Prison, I will boldly recommend someone!"
"Oh, who is it?"
"Peng Qing, former deputy supervisor!"
"Peng Qing?"
Zhu Qizhen had no impression of this person, so he asked: "What talents does this person have?"
"Your Majesty, I learned all my humble skills from Deputy Supervisor Peng."
Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up and he said: "In that case, Huaien, summon Peng Qing to the palace!"
"Your Majesty..." Huaien said with a bitter smile, "Peng Qing is...in Zhao Prison..."
Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Huai'en had no choice but to explain: "This Peng Qing has a personal relationship with Wang Zhen, and he is designated as a confederate of Wang Zhen. I heard that he will be exiled to Lingnan in the near future."
"It's unfair, Your Majesty!"
Bei Lin bowed down and said excitedly: "Deputy Supervisor Peng and Wang Zhen only had official contacts and had no personal relationship. When the emperor was on the expedition, Deputy Supervisor Peng wrote a letter to warn Wang Zhen and openly opposed Wang Zhen.
Many people know about the matter, so the emperor can send people to investigate."
"I remembered!"
Zhu Qizhen looked guilty and nodded: "It seems that there is such a thing. I am ashamed to say that I only listened and believed, and I wronged Zhongliang and Huaien!"
"The slave is here!"
"I have given an oral instruction that Peng Qing, the Imperial Supervisor of the Qin Dynasty, has merits and demerits, and is ordered to take up the post of Supervisor, with Beilin as Deputy Supervisor, and let the cabinet draft the decree. As for how to clear Peng Qing from suspicion, leave it to Yuan Bin!" "My slave obeys the order!"
Wynn didn't dare to say a word. Now Beilin was a popular person in front of the emperor. With just one word, Peng Qing directly reinstated the official and got promoted one level without any inspection by the factory guards.
Beilin was very moved and cried with joy: "I thank you for your grace!"
"In the future, the Qing family will assist Peng Qing in taking charge of the Qintian Prison. We must make some achievements. Don't imitate those people and just use empty words to fool me. If something goes wrong, no one can be counted on!
”
"I obey the order!"
Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Zhen again and asked, "Is Ha Ming back?"
Li Zhen replied: "Back to the emperor, Ha Ming and the soldiers stayed in the suburbs."
"You ask him to enter the palace tomorrow, and then come with him. I have something to tell you."
"Yes!"
The two of them bowed and left. Not long after, news came that the two groups that had gone to the south to suppress the rebellion had returned to Beijing.
The coaches of these two teams are Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, and Shi Pu, the Minister of Industry.
In the autumn of the 13th year of Zhengtong, Deng Maoqi in Fujian led his troops to revolt, and the trend became more and more intense. The imperial court sent Chen Mao to lead an expedition to Fujian to quell the rebellion. This man was the most capable fighter in the Ming Dynasty besides the British Duke Zhang Mao. If he had stayed
In the capital, he accompanied the emperor on a personal expedition, but the result was still unknown.
In the spring of the 14th year of Zhengtong, Ye Zongliu, a thief in Chuzhou, started a rebellion. Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, took command and went to quell the rebellion.
Zhu Qizhen still couldn't figure out why the imperial court sent the Minister of Works to take charge when so many meritorious deeds were left unused.
It wasn't until Shi Pu returned to the court that he realized that it was a pity for this eldest brother to become the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was a 1.9-meter strong man with dark skin, a full face and a full beard. He didn't need any makeup to play Li Kui. p>
When Chen Mao and Shi Pu were summoned, another news came. The main building of the Martyrs' Shrine has been completed and the exterior decoration is being carried out. It will be put into use after the year.
Zhu Qizhen was very happy and immediately summoned all officials to visit the Martyrs' Shrine.
Under the protection of the Forbidden Army, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came to Chengtian Gate in great force.
Although they knew that the imperial court was building a lot of construction here, when all the officials came to the Martyrs' Shrine, they were all shocked by the scenery in front of them.
What comes into view is a vermilion-lacquered door, with a pair of huge stone lions placed in front of it, which appear to be carved from a single piece of gray rock.
"Where did this rock come from? It doesn't have any color at all. It's really strange!"
"Yes, I just took a closer look. The entire rock is one piece without a single crack."
"It looks like limestone from the Western Mountains, but it's so huge. How was it transported here?"
Everyone continued to move forward while discussing.
Entering the gate, there is a spacious yard.
Many trees have been transplanted in the yard. They are all big trees with their branches and leaves cut off. Although they look a little bare now, it is foreseeable that when the branches sprout in the coming spring, they will soon grow into big trees, covering most of them with green shade.
A yard.
After passing through the straight passage, you will see a majestic hall.
The gleaming glazed tiles on the main hall and the thick pillars are dyed dark red. When you walk into the main hall, you will see a huge stone tablet with five characters "Daming Martyrs' Shrine" written on it.
Various battle scenes are carved on the walls of the hall, which are familiar to these well-educated officials of the Ming Dynasty. From Taizu's Uprising, Xu Da's Northern Expedition, to the Battle of Jingnan, the Conquest of Annan, the Expedition of Mobei, and even
The battle of Tumubao was vividly depicted.
Looking at the solemn hall, a sense of solemnity arises spontaneously, and one can't help but respect the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty.
Bypassing the stone monument in the main hall and entering the back hall, there are rows of white marble stone walls, on which are carved the names of loyal martyrs who died in battle since the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone took a tour around the Martyrs' Shrine, which was an eye-opener. Especially Shi Pu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, grinning widely and having fun all the way.
I didn’t expect that I would go out to fight and have such a big project built at home. It’s beautiful!
This left minister, Lu Xiang, really gives the minister of industry face!
After everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but wonder, how could the Ministry of Industry complete the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine in just three months?
According to past experience, it is very difficult not to mention building a building of such a large size in such a short period of time, but also to gather the masonry and wood needed for the construction.
Moreover, it seems that there is no wooden structure in the entire Martyrs' Shrine.
Zhu Qizhen also saw the confusion on everyone's faces, so he waved to Zuo Shilang Lu Xiang and Heping County Bo Chen Huai.
After receiving the instructions, Lu Xiang and Chen Huai came forward and began to explain the new pouring method to everyone.
Looking at the bloody soldiers on the mural wall, Zhu Qizhen secretly sighed in his heart, the blood of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty cannot be shed in vain, first, please wait for me!
If I don’t beat you out this time, I’ll count you clean!
