Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 112 Governor Ji Liao
The next day.

"Haha~"

Thinking of what happened in Xiyuan yesterday and how embarrassed Qian Qianyi was, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and shake his head, which surprised Wang Tiqian who was serving in front of the emperor.

"Did your Majesty remember something interesting?" Wang Tiqian held up the teacup, handed it to Zhu Youxiao, and said with a smile: "This is the first time that I have seen your Majesty smile so happily."

"Think of something interesting."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and did not accept the cup of tea offered by Wang Tiqian, but he felt emotional in his heart. Yes, he had rarely smiled in the past few months since the liquidation of the inner court.

Faced with this miserable situation and the rotten world, Zhu Youxiao had no time to think about anything else. He could only speed up his strategy and strive to break the situation as soon as possible.

"Are Tian Ergeng and the others here?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the pile of memorials on the imperial case and frowned slightly.

"coming."

Wang Tigan hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Xuan."

Zhu Youxiao said concisely.

The key to promoting a sanctimonious person like Qian Qianyi to the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites was to promulgate it in the name of Zhongzhi, which concealed Zhu Youxiao's political plan.

A secret court recommendation made Zhu Youxiao realize a lot of unusual things. He selected the Minister of Hubu and temporarily put aside the Minister of Officials. This was Zhu Youxiao's intention.

Since the outer court can use it to disrupt the situation, then his great emperor can do the same.

The Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are blessed with special filters. If anyone can sit in this position, his status, power, and voice in the government will be invisibly increased a lot.

With a little selfishness, in the position of Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, there are some vacancies for officials below the fourth rank. After all, who can't do these positions?

As long as you are careful enough not to be caught seeking personal gain and show that everything is public-spirited, then it is reasonable and legal to arrange for some close people to serve in key government offices.

The root cause of why the Donglin Party was able to rise in the short-lived Taichang Dynasty was that it had captured the Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They were frequently recommended to Emperor Guangzong above the fourth rank, and were promoted according to the system below the fourth rank. When Emperor Shenzong was alive, the court was also good. , place, but there are a lot of vacant positions, this is simply a carnival!
The irreproducible death of the two emperors in January, although it was beyond the expectations of most people, also made the situation even more chaotic. The Donglin Party, which was good at manipulating public opinion, impeached the leader and assistant Fang Congzhe, actively turned against the party, and then transferred All parties paid attention, while arranging manpower, actively went to Beijing to take up posts, and then realized the struggle for power. However, this situation was being broken bit by bit by Zhu Youxiao.

Whether it is the Donglin Party or the Qichu and Zhejiang Party, they are all of the same type in essence, that is, they are the privileged groups represented behind the scenes. They control the power in the government, manipulate public opinion, and then continue to seek personal gain...

"The two ministers have done a good job in secretly investigating the situation in Beijing."

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, looked at Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun who had been summoned, and said calmly: "But it needs to be clearer. There are those people standing behind the merchants who will be involved in various industries in the capital. , we must clearly find out for me the purpose of those Qingliu, scholars, etc. who are active in the capital, who frequently discuss government affairs and try to stir up public opinion among the people, as well as the properties in the capital and the capital, who are they? Hold it, I have to check these things out clearly."

The two people who were originally joyful disappeared after listening to what the emperor said, and were replaced by unprecedented pressure.

"Your Majesty, if you want to find out this, I'm afraid the flag school..." Tian Ergen hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted.

"If we don't have enough manpower, we'll have to recruit people."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted: "The current manpower of the North Town Fusi under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei is not enough, and the same is not enough to rely on one town envoy. I plan to set up several new deputy town envoys and two ministers." If you have done meritorious deeds in the past, let’s promote the deputy governor of Bei Town Fusi." One sentence made the two of them excited.

Everyone who works in Jinyiwei understands the special status of Beizhen Fusi. Whoever is in charge of Beizhen Fusi has a greater say in Jinyiwei.

The Fusi of Beizhen specializes in edicts and prisons. He can arrest, interrogate, execute and execute people on his own without going through the general judicial institutions. What a privilege this is.

"Don't be too happy."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "I want to make it clear first. Not just any cat or dog can enter Jinyiwei. What I want is a solid, capable and loyal son of a good family. This is the new rule I have set for Jinyiwei. If you dare to tell me, , whoever dares to trample on this rule will not blame me for being ruthless."

"Sir, you understand."

The two immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

Involving the restructuring of Jinyiwei, Zhu Youxiao quietly promoted Luo Sigong's decision to leave Beijing and participate in the investigation of Huangzhuang Huangdian.

The Jin Yiwei should be a sharp knife, not affected by various external factors, not attracted by the civil servants of other dynasties, and only obey the orders of the imperial power. In addition to obedience, they are obedient!

In order to realize this overall concept, it is necessary to achieve internal checks and balances and long-term supervision. Only a Jinyiwei with a clear power structure and different fields involved can meet Zhu Youxiao's needs.

In this way, even if there are scum or speculators within Jinyiwei, it can be ensured that Jinyiwei will not deteriorate and will still be the sharp knife.

Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is still useful for the time being. After all, there are many things that need to be done by him. However, deploying a group of people to prevent Luo Sigong from being in charge of the Jinyiwei alone and preventing the Jinyiwei from deteriorating is what Zhu Youxiao wants to do. .

The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. No matter how they are changed or adjusted, it is a matter of the emperor's word. No one has the right to intervene or interfere.

Jin Yiwei, Dong Jishi Factory, West Jishi Factory, Da Neixing Factory, these factory guard forces are all the knives in Zhu Youxiao's hands. From now on, they must show their sharpest side for different things!
"Your Majesty, Wang Zaijin, the left minister of the Ministry of War, has returned."

An eunuch walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his head lowered and bowed respectfully.

"Prince Xuan comes to see me in Jin."

Zhu Youxiao replied, and then looked at Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun, "implement what I said as soon as possible. If you have anything in the future, you can submit a secret report to the emperor."

"The ministers obey the order."

The two of them paid homage again. They were promoted to the deputy governor of Fusi in Beizhen and were able to present a secret memorial to the emperor. The joy in their hearts was beyond words.

They have gained the emperor's trust and reliance, which also means that they have a firm foothold in Jinyiwei, and even if Luo Sigong returns to the capital, they will not be able to suppress their right to speak in Jinyiwei. This is too important to the two of them.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about what Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun thought. As for the imperial guards, the appointment and dismissal of the two was just the beginning. A group of people would come to power in the future. The checks and balances must be multi-party. The factory guards are the eyes and eyes of the emperor. Ears, if you want to obtain more valuable information and not be blinded by the information barriers created by people below, you must form multiple parties to obtain it effectively.

"Wang Qing, in the name of the critical situation in Liao Dynasty, I will issue a decree to promote you to serve as the governor of Ji Liao as the left minister of the Ministry of War. You will also be granted the title of censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will also give you the royal flag and the governor of Shuntian, Jizhou, Do you dare to take orders regarding military affairs in Baoding, Shanhaiguan and other places?"

Wang Zaijin had just arrived at Dongnuan Pavilion in front of the Jin Dynasty. Before he could salute, he heard something that shocked him. This was something Wang Zaijin did not expect before he hurriedly returned to the capital with the imperial edict.

It's just that Wang Zaijin didn't know that in order to make him the governor of Jiliao, Zhu Youxiao temporarily put aside the Minister of Personnel and promoted Qian Qianyi to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, Zhu Youxiao also had other political plans hidden, such as trying to separate the Dong Dynasty. Lin Dang, but there is no need to mention these to Wang Zaijin. What Zhu Youxiao wants to talk about now is the position of Governor of Ji Liao!
