Of course, stability is all that matters, but if anyone really thinks that he, the emperor, is easy to mess with and is being manipulated by others, then Zhu Qizhen would not mind going on a killing spree to show some ambitious people how fierce he is.
means.
However, after all, his prestige has been greatly reduced. Most of the courtiers Zhu Qizhen has gathered in the past two years are old fools. They only think about their own interests and are too cautious in doing things. This is usually an advantage, but once it comes to a critical moment, this
This is a shortcoming that is quite unpleasant nowadays.
Therefore, Zhu Qizhen decided to focus on observing those young officials in the future.
…
After obtaining the emperor's consent, Shuntian Prefecture suddenly and without warning began a "severe crackdown" operation targeting the capital.
Feng Zhou personally presided over the situation and divided the entire capital into several areas, with the promotion officials and judges responsible for them respectively, who strictly dealt with all criminal activities in the areas.
Naturally, there was a lot of opposition at the beginning. Shuntian Mansion had never carried out such an action. What if something went wrong?
"His Majesty personally requested that this be done. If you don't want to do it well, find a connection and transfer him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences may be unbearable for you!"
Facing his group of veteran officials, Feng Zhou was not polite and threatened them with their official hats.
"Hmph, how can we be so frightened? Does Mr. Fu Cheng really have a way to drive us away?"
Immediately, some tough promoters from the background jumped out, and a few people who had a good relationship with him immediately agreed. Of course, most of them were still hesitant and in a wait-and-see state.
"What do you think, my lord?"
Feng Zhou did not rush to take action, but pushed the matter to Zhang Qingbo.
"This matter is solely the responsibility of Fengfu Cheng, and I will not interfere!"
Zhang Qingbo is also an old slicker and doesn't accept the offer at all.
Feng Zhou had known this for a long time, so he directly took out a written impeachment memorial and asked Zhang Qingbo to stamp it with the seal of Shuntian Mansion. He was going to hand it directly to the imperial court.
"Fengfu Cheng, you should think twice before you act. That person is a disciple of Marquis Chengyang. It is no joke if he annoys Marquis Chengyang!"
Zhang Qingbo's expression was extremely ugly. Feng Zhou's behavior was just to drag him into trouble, but he had no choice but to follow up. This time's "severe attack" was registered with His Majesty.
"Isn't Mr. Fu Yin worried about them holding you back?"
Naturally, Feng Zhou didn't care much. Not to mention a mere marquis, even if several princes took action, he wouldn't care. He only saw whether it was necessary.
"All right!"
Zhang Qingbo had no choice but to stamp the impeachment memorial. He was really worried that he might offend Marquis Chengyang, which really made him feel unsure.
After all, Shuntian Prefecture Yin is different from those officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he relies heavily on the support of those relatives of the emperor.
If they cause trouble, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin will not be able to continue his work.
Feng Zhou didn't care so much and handed the fold directly to Wang Anhaina, the general manager of the palace, and Wang An immediately sent it to the imperial cabinet.
Now that he has decided to support Feng Zhou's actions, Zhu Qizhen will naturally not give any support at all. He will directly follow the list in Feng Zhou's book and replace all the officials who are disobedient to discipline and replace them with Feng Zhou in the Ministry of Punishment.
The cadres of the yamen supported the officials.
When it comes to the stability of his throne, the mere title of Marquis Chengyang is nothing. Even if Duke Yingying and Duke Chengguo are here, he will not give him face.
"Haha Sir, I never thought we would be able to work together again so soon!"
Wu Fan, the newly appointed official of the Shuntian Prefecture, saluted Feng Zhou with an excited look on his face. Behind him, a group of former officials from the Ministry of Punishment also bowed and saluted, all with excited faces and high morale.
"Okay, let's work together to create a world!"
Feng Zhou laughed loudly and encouraged these new cronies...
…
Soon, a large number of Shuntian government officials appeared in various streets in the capital...
The people in the capital who were coming and going didn't notice any difference, they just felt that there were more government officials coming and going.
Most of the government officials did not do anything. They just walked around the streets responsible for their errands twice, and then gathered with friends in a small teahouse on the street to rest, which is called "rest and recuperation".
"Brothers, what do you think the new Mr. Fu Cheng has gone crazy about? He doesn't want to sit in the yamen, so why should we send him out to patrol the streets?"
"Who knows, maybe this is the first thing a new official does when he takes office, right?"
"What the hell, if I don't cooperate with you, won't he have to be blinded as well?"
"Huh huh, you have no hair on your lips and you can't do your job well! Our Lord Fu Cheng heard that he is not yet twenty, so what can he do? Let's just ignore him!"
"Shhh, keep your voice down, what if it reaches the ears of the Prime Minister, and he can just pick off your skin with just a finger?"
"Humph, I'm afraid of a bird. Mr. Huang who was transferred said that if we are not happy working in Shuntian Mansion, we can follow him to hang out in the government office outside!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You won't wait in the capital and will go to the lower counties. Are you not out of your mind?"
"Of course his brain is not broken. This guy is a confidant of Mr. Huang. He will definitely not be able to take notice of the new Mr. Feng. If life becomes difficult in the future, he will naturally find another way out!"
"Hehe, with our status, we should find another way to trick ghosts. Stop talking nonsense and have a good meal, lest Master Feng find another reason to torment us!"
"..."
Not far from the teahouse, a few slutty patent leather gangsters were trying to scare a hawker with arrogant expressions. They took a few bright red apples from the hawker's stall and ate them while cursing.
, conveniently snatched a handful of coins from the vendor's pocket, and then left with satisfaction.
In place, only a messy fruit stand and a vendor crying without tears were left.
"Damn it, these guys are so ruthless. They destroyed at least ten kilograms of apples in one go, which is worth dozens of coppers!"
"Oh, it's useless to say this. These guys are local snakes. If you don't follow their wishes, it will be difficult to do business here!"
"Old Zhao, you should be more open-minded. This is the way the world is. Evil people live a free and easy life, but ordinary people like us can only struggle!"
"..."
Several vendors who were sighing and cursing angrily did not notice an old beggar at the corner of the street who was smelling bad. He was listening to their discussion with his ears raised and took everything in his eyes.
…
"What are you guys doing? Haven't you seen the green men in front of you who are causing harm to the people? Go up and arrest them!"
Wu Fan looked unhappy and shouted angrily at the government servants who were sitting in the teahouse like uncles: "Do you still want to hang out in the government office? If you don't want to, let me know in advance and I will help you!"
"Why is Wu Dasheng so angry? Isn't it just a few green-skinned gangsters harassing the people? This happens several times every day. If we really want to take care of it, how can we take care of it?"
Those yamen servants were all old-timers in the yamen. Although they were startled by Wu Fan's stern alarm, they still stood up calmly and walked to the door of the teahouse as if strolling in a leisurely manner. They faced those who were harassing the shops.
Qingpi shouted: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Hey, it's Brother Liu, we are discussing cooperation matters with the owner of this store!"
Those green-skinned men with unkind faces looked back and greeted with a smile: "Brother Liu, let's have a drink together later, have a drink at Chunfenglou and listen to a tune!"
