In the early morning, the loud sound of drills broke the tranquility inside the Ningguta Senior Military and Political School, which covers an area of 1,500 acres.
The school was built three years ago and is directly under the jurisdiction of the House Committee. It is the highest-level school under the reform government so far.
However, this school does not recruit students from the outside, and its student source is specific, that is, only officials of the fifth rank and above of the empire can become students of this school.
If you are below this level, you will not be able to enter even if you give gifts.
The school was established in Yangma Village, northeast of Ningguta New City, and was personally selected by the first principal, the Imperial Minister Yang Zhi.
The overall style of the school is very tall, and it is a closed building complex consisting of three-story buildings.
This is as conspicuous as a chicken standing out from the crowd outside the pass where everything is waiting for development.
None of the original Manchu imperial palace buildings in Shenyang City can compare with this school.
After the school was built, it began to accept students from all provinces across the country in accordance with the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor.
The first batch of students came from Henan.
They are 68 middle and high-level officials from Henan, headed by Xu Yucheng, the governor of Henan, including all first-level officials in Henan Province and 80% of prefecture-level officials.
This led to the uprooting of Henan's old bureaucracy headed by Xu Yucheng, thus laying a good social and legal foundation for the comprehensive implementation of reforms and the development of industry and commerce in Henan.
The fundamental reason why Henan's officialdom was subverted was the murder of Henan government officials.
After the case was heard by the imperial court's joint investigation team, all six government officials who directly committed the murder were sentenced to death. All 35 Fuzhou and county officials who were involved in concealment and cover-up were dismissed from their posts. Nine of them with bad nature were sentenced to death, and the rest were sent to prison.
Ninggu Pagoda.
Subsequently, Wang Jie and Qian Feng used the incident to involve officials as a breakthrough point to directly capture Xu Yucheng, the governor of Henan, and eliminate all "Xu Party" in Henan, completely making Henan, a large province in the Central Plains, truly owned by the imperial court.
During this process, Xu Yucheng never thought of taking risks. However, while the civil servants were willing to respond, the generals were silent.
In the end, Xu Yucheng chose to surrender and was ordered to train at the Ningguta Advanced Military and Political School for three years.
The person who succeeded Xu Yucheng as governor of Henan was Wang Jie, Minister of Imperial Envoys and Minister of Punishment.
This appointment was not so much the emperor's recognition of Wang Jie's investigative ability as a reward, but rather a test of Wang Jie's political ability.
Jia Liu hoped that the No. 1 scholar who always wanted to kill himself would once again do practical work, truly manage people's livelihood and develop the economy, instead of catching and biting whoever he was like in the past.
If Wang Jie can govern Henan smoothly, with the people being healthy, the economy improving, and the society being clear and peaceful, then Jia Liu would not mind letting Wang Jie take a higher position to use his talents for the country and the people.
"Those who respect me may not be able to use it, and those who hate me may not be able to use it."
This is what Jia Liu wrote on the screen of Qianqing Palace to remind himself not to appoint officials based on personal likes and dislikes, let alone exclude any official based on past grudges.
Because of his meritorious service, Qian Feng was promoted by Jia Liu to the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and concurrently served as the Deputy Minister of Justice who was restructured from Dali Temple.
Soon, Qian Feng targeted Cathay, the governor of Shandong, and wrote a letter claiming that Cathay had embezzled millions of taels of feudal silver.
After receiving Qian Feng's memorial, Jia Liu was silent for a moment and sent a secret message to Cathay Pacific.
There is only one sentence in the letter - "A Guo, I have been on the throne for so long, and you have made enough money. It is time to stop."
I originally hoped that Cathay Pacific would accept it as soon as it was good. As long as he doesn't mess around in Shandong now, the money Jia Liuquan had been greedy for in the past would be treated as cakes given to Cathay Pacific and would not be recovered.
However, Cathay relied on the fact that the Sixth Army in Shandong was built by himself, and he was the first investor to support Guiziliu's claim to be emperor. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Guiziliu's approach of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and deliberately violated it with his comrades Yu Yijian and others.
Fight against the Six Emperors.
After receiving the secret report from the staff of the House Committee in Shandong, although Jia Liu missed Cathay Pacific's support for him in the past, he still thought about the suffering of millions of people in Shandong, so he resolutely issued an order to the Minister of Finance He Shen and the Left Deputy Du Yu.
Shi Liuyong and Qian Feng went to Shandong to investigate Cathay.
"Damn it, those devils Liu and I are serious!"
After hearing the news, Cathay Yu, the governor's office, was so angry that he jumped up and cursed, saying that without him, Cathay wouldn't be where Guiziliu is today. Now that this kid has become the emperor and turned his back on others, it would have been better if he had known that this would be better than the fourth devil being in power.
.
This is completely confusing right and wrong, and lard has deceived people's minds.
If it hadn't been for Guiziliu, Cathay would have been killed by Qianlong long ago!
Not only will he die under the laws of the country, but he will also die from being a traitor!
Yu Yijian was also very dissatisfied. Firstly, he was at odds with Guiziliu, and secondly, his brother Yu Minzhong was killed by Guiziliu.
At that time, Jiangsu Governor Hao Shuo reported that Yu Minzhong was ill. Guiziliu asked the imperial doctor to bring the palace medicine to visit him. However, within a few days of the imperial doctor's departure, Yu Minzhong's condition worsened, and he farted within two days.
.
After asking later, I found out that Yu Minzhong had been given medicine sent by the palace.
Do you think this medicine has any ghosts?
Due to old and new grudges, Yu Yijian persuaded Guotai to raise his flag and rebel against him, Jaap Liu.
I have already thought of the reason, that is, the Sixth Japanese Army wants to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang and kill the hero!
The facts are obvious. You Guiziliu didn't want to kill the hero. Why did you take Xu Yucheng and then target Shandong?
Theoretically, it is feasible to make a fuss about this matter and stir up a trend, because Guiziliu's basic base is actually only a few, and other provinces are all compromising with him on the surface, and they are at odds with him in face and heart.
As long as Cathay leads the Shandong army and raises its arms, I am afraid it will be able to reproduce the momentum of the nine-province coalition of Governor Leerjin of Shaanxi and Gansu a few years ago.
Cathay Pacific was very tempted.
So Cathay called the Admiral of the Sixth Army stationed in Shandong, Hao Tu, the former deputy commander of the Eight Banners stationed in Qingzhou, and Chief of Staff Yan Qing to discuss the matter secretly.
However, after the military generals arrived, before Cathay could say anything, they saw Hao Tu, the admiral of the Sixth Army, shaking his head and saying, "We can do anything Mr. Futai tells us, but there is one thing we cannot do."
What not to do?
That means resolutely not to be an enemy of the Six Emperors.
"Um?"
Cathay was stunned. Without the support of the army, he quickly adjusted his thinking and hurriedly borrowed a lot of money from merchants to collect enough inventory to cover up the truth of the serious shortage of silver in the treasury.
If you can, just do it. Deal with it first.
Unexpectedly, all this was not hidden from Qian Feng's eyes. Qian Feng opened the warehouse and checked the silver, and found that most of the silver in the warehouse was variegated silver from merchants, which was inconsistent with the fine and bright silver.
As a result, Cathay Pacific's crimes of corruption, bending the law and causing a shortage of the national treasury were completely exposed.
Jia Liunian, in view of Cathay's kindness and merit to him in the past, specially ordered to follow Xu Yucheng's example and study for three years. Half of the family property would be confiscated and the remaining half would belong to his family.
Officials who committed crimes in Shandong also followed this example. It was expressly decreed that He Shen, Liu Yong and Qian Feng were not allowed to kill anyone in Shandong.
This edict brought Jia Liu's reputation as a benevolent emperor to a new level, and also made the officials in other provinces who were watching the matter collectively let out a sigh of relief. They all thought that if they could keep half of their family property, it would be enough to study outside the customs for a few years.
Not unacceptable.
With the continuous development of industry and commerce, the continuous improvement of military construction, and the increasing awareness of reform ideas in various places, Jia Liu's prestige as emperor can be said to have reached another peak in his life.
It is conservatively estimated that his status in the hearts of his subjects is no less than that of Qianlong in his thirties in the former Qing Dynasty.
A series of campaigns targeting official corruption and judicial darkness, including the Two Qing Dynasties and the Eighth Anti-Japanese War, were carried out vigorously, and the face of the entire country was truly transformed.
With the continuous development of the situation and the passage of time, as of now, the total number of students in the Ningguta Senior Military and Political Academy has reached 600.
These students include 60% of cabinet officials from the previous three terms, 70% of provincial officials, 60% of prefecture-level officials, and 50% of state and county officials.
In other words, over the past few years, most of the elites of the Reform Court came to Ninggu Pagoda.
