Chapter 522 Upright and dare to advise Hong Chengchou, resolutely fight against Qian Qianyi
The emperor issued an edict.
The prefecture's capital was Fengtianfu, Tokyo.
All the ministries and offices of the Nanjing imperial court also moved to Fengtian, Tokyo, and a set of Nanjing Six Ministries is still preserved in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing.
The decree also cheered up the soldiers and civilians in Shandong, because it meant that the emperor would not leave and that the emperor would guard the country. At this time, Dengzhou was already the front line, which was particularly important. It left the Bohai Bay to connect with Liaodong and North Korea to lock up Beijing and Tianjin, and then went down to Huaiyang.
Through Jiangnan.
For such a strategic location, the emperor directly promoted Dengzhou to Tokyo Fengtian, and his attitude was firm.
Among the three cities in Dengzhou, Shuicheng is the emperor's palace city, Fucheng is the imperial city, and the previously built Shacheng city is the capital city.
In the Yamen of Jianyuan in the Zhenhai Gate in the north of the original city, Hong Chengchou, the left-hand Jianyi doctor, was on duty, supervising the officials of the Jianyuan.
This newly established admonishment court is now very popular under the leadership of Hong Chengchou. Especially with the support of the emperor, those five-level officials wearing scarlet robes are selected eclectically.
It is no longer necessary to be a Jinshi as before, just like the dean Hong Chengchou was a traitor who was demoted and took up the post. These admonitions and righteousness of the second, third and fourth grades are not followed step by step, just the dozens of six subjects of the fifth grade.
In, the same is true.
Among these Jianyuan Feipao Lang, some were born as Jinshi, some were Juren, and some were even Gongsheng students. What is even more shocking is that some of them were just ordinary people before entering Jianyuan.
There are even those who have transferred from military positions to civilian positions in the imperial camp and other armies.
There are young people in their twenties and old men in their 60s and 70s with gray beards and hair. Here, they don’t care about whether the article is good or not, or which scholar they are, let alone their teachers and friends. The most important thing is to be upright and courageous.
Word.
So there are Koreans, Annamites, and Mongols here.
There are not only the uprising in eastern Zhejiang, but also scholars who abandoned their writing and joined the army, soldiers who joined the army as tenant farmers, and even tainted officials like Hong Chengchou who were once surrendered to the captives, as well as former rebels like Niu who were born in Shunying.
Venus.
As Li Zicheng's number one military advisor and prime minister, Niu Jinxing took his son Niu Quan to surrender after Li Zicheng's army defeated Huguang. The Tatars gave his son the title of magistrate of Huangzhou and then a grain storage platform.
After Huaixi Hou presented the city to surrender, he called the father and son into the capital and sat on the bench for a while. Now Niu Jinxing is also appointed as the admonishment officer.
There was also Song Xiance, another military advisor of the Shun army who had been squeezed out by Niu Jinxing. After he and Liu Zongmin were captured by the Qing army, he saved his life by opening his mouth. Later, he returned to the people and continued to tell fortunes, and was also recruited.
Went to Jianyuan.
There are currently more than 70 people in the six subjects of Jianyuan. If you distinguish the origins of these fifth-grade Feipao officials, you will find that they are very complex. They include Jinshi, Juren, Xiucai, and Supervising Students.
Among the Gongsheng students, there were also those from military examinations, military attachés, and even civilian gentry, as well as those from peasants, soldiers, and even foreign nationalities.
There are former eunuchs and Donglin.
There are former imperial officials and peasant rebels.
There were those who had surrendered to the Qing and those who had surrendered to the Shun. There were also many who had revolted against the Qing in various places, and there were even those who were from the Zheng family in Fujian and the Jesuit Catholics in Macau.
All in all, it's like a hodgepodge.
However, just such a group of people were selected and appointed by the emperor's imperial decree. After being appointed officials by special decree, under the leadership of Hong Chengchou in the admonishment court, they actually worked quite vigorously.
Take over the manuscripts, cancel the scientific references, admonish the emperor, and provide suggestions and strategies.
Participate in political discussions, including all major court discussions, ministers' recommendations, prison decisions, and admonitions.
They were even ordered to participate in the assessment of officials, imperial examinations, and major judicial cases. A large number of these people should have been liquidated in the new dynasty. Even if they did not chop off their heads, kill their clans, and confiscate their families, they would definitely never be used again.
But now they are appreciated and reused by the emperor.
So everyone is like a chicken blood.
It should be said that although most of Kaden's staff have complicated identities, they are indeed relatively capable.
For example, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing himself was also a scholar. He became a scholar at the age of 20. His family was also a scholarly family in Henan. There were many officials in their family. Several generations of their ancestors were officials in Prince Lu's Mansion. He
His father is an official of Prince Lu.
Niu Jinxing's life was very good when he was young. He came from an official family, a scholarly family, and he was also a landlord. After he won the imperial examination, he also opened a school to teach apprentices. He lived a comfortable life and was indeed knowledgeable. Not only did he succeed in the imperial examination, but he also knew astronomy and geography.
Know the military strategy.
Later, he was falsely accused because of a quarrel with his relatives in the village. He was stripped of his honor and sent to the army as a sergeant. Later, he was introduced to Li Zicheng by Li Yan, who suggested "several punishments to kill, relieve the hungry people, and win the hearts of the people." It can be said that Li Zicheng was able to quickly become bigger and stronger.
Venus also made a great contribution.
Niu Jinxing must also be responsible for Li Zicheng's collapse and failure. He may not be a good prime minister, but if he is used as a fifth-grade minister, it will definitely be more than enough.
After all, in the turmoil of the late Ming Dynasty, this was also the core decision-maker of the Dashun Dynasty, and he had gone through enough training.
Even the grandson of North Korea's left-wing political leader Kim Sang-heon, Kim Soo-hyeong-na, was extremely knowledgeable, and because he was young, he worshiped the Ming Dynasty. He was also a very upright man, and was ruthless in his dealings.
As for those Yuan Cong heroes who joined the emperor's army, it is even more serious. Some of these people were just scholars and officials before, and some were farmers, tenants or even slaves, but most of them had experience in the imperial army and were very special.
Passionate, honest and loyal.
Some people were even the leaders of slave rebel armies in various places in the late Ming Dynasty, such as the nose-cutting group in Jintan, Jiangsu, the Lirenhui in Macheng, Hubei, and the white scarf army in Taihu. These people were oppressed in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty and took advantage of the chaos to kill their masters and rebel.
At first, they just resisted oppression and fought for freedom. Later, Zhu Yihai raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Some slave rebel leaders actively responded to the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, some slave rebel leaders who were former slaves also became generals and officials of the Shaotian Dynasty.
Some of them were even assigned to work in the Jian Yuan.
Dengzhou has been very lively recently.
The imperial edict established Fengtianfu as the eastern capital, and various ministries and offices moved in. The population increased greatly, and even the garrison increased.
Although the emperor's decision to move the capital was opposed by many ministers, they felt that it would be too risky to move the capital directly to Dengzhou before Jinan was conquered.
However, Zhu Yihai emphasized the emperor's intention to guard the country at the court meeting, and even wanted to personally guard Dengzhou to ensure the stability of this strategically important area, and once again let the people of the world understand that he would not negotiate peace with the Tatars.
, no matter how the Tatars sue for peace now, he will not agree to it.
Not to mention using the new Yellow River to delimit the borders and agreeing to give Henan and Shandong to the Ming Dynasty, even if they gave Shaanxi, Gansu and Hanzhong to the Ming Dynasty, it would not work.
Ming Dynasty must harvest the entire territory inside and outside the pass, and will not give up an inch of land.
At that court meeting, Hong Chengchou, the left-handed admonishment official, sprayed every official who dared to say that he wanted to negotiate with each other with bloody blows. He had reasonable arguments and various rebuttals, and his attitude was firm, and he fully supported the emperor's will.
Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, who was usually the first person to criticize, was caught off guard. The thirteen censors under him were also slowed down, allowing the six subjects of Jianyuan to steal the limelight from Shizhong.
It was also at this time that everyone discovered that they had thought that Kanyuan was just a bunch of people, but who knew they were all talented people.
That Niu, Venus, Song Xiance can push people up to the sky.
North Korea's tough boy Jin Shouheng was able to quote scriptures and refute them, which made everyone speechless. Even a few strong Mongolian men were in trouble, and they shouted that whoever dared to talk about peace would spatter the palace with his blood and eliminate harm for the king.
Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin who was once the leader in surrendering the captives, is now the right admonishment official. He puts on the pretense of being the leader of Donglin and scolds some former Donglin comrades such as the Sixth Department of the Cabinet and dare not come out.
Voice.
Obviously these people were once capitulators and traitors, but now they have become the most determined war faction.
Things are often so wonderful. Wherever the emperor sits, he doesn't even need to speak during the court meeting. The people in the Jianyuan just rush forward like wolves and tigers, biting and tearing everyone they see.
If one person is not good enough, he will behave politely and lose all dignity.
Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi took the lead in the charge and had no scruples. However, they were public officials and could say whatever they wanted.
In the past, the selection of officials in previous dynasties was based on three things: first, not loving wealth and honor, second, cherishing reputation, and third, knowing how to govern the body.
But today's admonishment court is very perverted. Most of the people here have reputations that have been ruined. For example, Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, are all famous traitors. Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance used to be the Prime Minister of Dashun and surrendered.
Rebellious officials accounted for the majority.
However, these stained guys now have no fear or worry at all. The past is the past, and now they are starting over again, with the emperor's support and tearing people apart according to orders.
That's called tearing someone without any scruples and unscrupulously.
Even these people are damn more capable than the last. For example, Qian Qianyi, the former leader of Donglin, has many years of experience in party struggle, and is very good. Hong Chengchou is even more incredible. In the late Ming Dynasty, he was truly called a capable general.
Very versatile.
With Zhu Yihai's current prestige and control over the imperial court, many matters can actually be decided directly with one word, whether it is the selection of cabinet ministers, generals, governors, or officials, etc.
Just teach him. Important military affairs are also a matter of one sentence.
But now the emperor is slowly beginning to pay attention to the system and pay attention to procedures.
Originally, some ministers thought this was a good thing, as they could finally avoid the emperor's dictatorship. Who would have thought that the emperor built a court of admonition, stuffed a bunch of strange people into it, and then made them speechless.
The four young masters of Fushe have now also been awarded the title of Shizhong, and along with them, their Fuxing Bao has also been listed under the name of Jian Yuan, and a new newspaper has even been created, called Jian Bao.
Not only will they tear you apart in the court or at court meetings, but they will also hang you up on a newspaper and tear you up after tearing them apart. Each of these people is a master of both tongue and pen. If they don't take the lead, they won't be able to resist at all.
.
In a short period of time, Jian Yuan has become famous in both the government and the public.
Now the government and the public have specially compiled a latest list of nine ministers, and Dr. Zuo Jianyi is ranked first, above the Minister of Personnel.
Behind the official Zuo Jianyi of Jianyuan are the six ministers, then the censor of Zuodu, and then the minister of Dali Temple. The envoy of general affairs fell out of the traditional nine ministers.
"Dean!"
An official in a scarlet robe suddenly came in and said, "This is the layout of this issue of the Admonition and Fuxing News. Please review it by the dean. In addition, Your Majesty has issued a decree to convene a court meeting tomorrow."
"What's the discussion?"
"Discuss etiquette, discuss military affairs, discuss ministers, discuss the official system, discuss titles, discuss finances, discuss disaster relief. There are many things to discuss this time, including the cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the Admonition Yuan, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Six Ministries, the General Affairs Department, and Dali
Officials from the temple, imperial camp, and other ministries in Beijing with grades above five will all participate in the discussion together!"
Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment.
Put down the pen in your hand. Under normal circumstances, even if a court meeting is held, only one thing will be discussed at a time. In addition to the main ministers, some officials from the corresponding departments will be called to participate.
Now there are seven major things to discuss at one time, and each one is so important.
He keenly smelled something wrong.
It's already August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. What big event is happening at this time?
"Pijiang, is there any new news coming to Beijing recently?"
"No, Shandong is still in chaos after the disaster. Henan and Beizhi provinces are also involved. Henan's Li Jiyu, Xu Dingguo, Beizhi's Tu Guobao are still making trouble, Shanxi's Jiang Quan, and Northern Shaanxi's Wang Yongqiang
, He Hongqi, Milayin and others in Longyou are still fighting against the Qing army. Zhang Xianzhong in northern Sichuan has also been bypassed by his adopted son Zhang Dingguo into Hanzhong via Yinping Road, and then Zhang Kewang used Micang Road to capture Dingjun Mountain.
, while the hero Wu Sangui returned to Beijing, he surrounded Li Guohan at Yangping Pass, but the winner has not yet been decided!"
Hong Chengchou frowned, then why are seven major issues suddenly being discussed in succession now?
