Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 114 Wei Zhongxian returns to Beijing

"It's getting colder today."

Wei Zhongxian lifted the car curtain, feeling the cold wind blowing, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "The flavor of the New Year in Beijing has become stronger. Counting on my fingers, it will be the first day of the new year in more than 20 days. It goes by so fast. ah."

"The Governor is right."

In the car, Li Chengyao, who was accompanying him, smiled and said: "Counting the days, it has been almost two months since the Governor left Beijing following the imperial edict. The errand assigned by the Emperor has been successfully completed."

"It's all done."

Wei Zhongxian let go of the car curtain and couldn't help but sigh: "But it was not done satisfactorily... The inspection of the Daming Mansion was left to the Jin Yiwei, and part of it would probably be ignored."

"Governor, there is nothing we can do about it."

Li Chengyao suppressed his smile and said: "In the past, I searched for Huangzhuang Huangdian, and I have been traveling all over the northern Zhili border. Let alone people, even horses that are good at running can't bear it. Speaking of the flag school recruited by Luo Sigong, there are some You don’t deserve to be in Jinyiwei, you are just a scoundrel..."

"Stop saying those words."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said: "Since the matter has already happened, don't find any more excuses. When you enter the palace and see the emperor, you should tell the truth truthfully."

"Governor, Daming Mansion..."

Li Chengyao said hesitantly.

"Report truthfully."

Wei Zhongxian said with a serious expression: "There are too many people arrested along the way, and the Jinyiwei Banner School is tensed up. If we don't feed them some meat, I'm afraid they will bite them back.

But this matter is not something we can decide, but the matter is urgent. Now that it has been done, don’t think about hiding it. What the emperor hates most is smart people! "

"Yes."

Li Chengyao's heart tightened and he responded immediately.

"Duke~"

The car that was originally driving stopped, and a factory officer stood outside the car, holding a stack of paper in his hand, lowering his head and saying: "I found something interesting."

Ok?
Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly. This time he returned to Beijing in a low-key manner. Luo Sigong was still in Daming Mansion, and Li Yongzhen was still in Tianjin Sanwei. He had chosen all the dozens of factory fans who followed him to Beijing. Not long after Guangqumen entered the city, we still have to walk for a while from the Forbidden City. What interesting things can we find?
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian gestured to Li Chengyao with his eyes.

"Bring it in."

Li Chengyao understood it, said something to the driver, leaned forward, lifted the curtain, and took the things handed to him by the factory.

"Huangming Times?"

Taking it from Li Chengyao's hand, Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly as he looked at the thing in front of him. What does this do?It seems that he didn't have this thing before he left the capital, right?

With the passage of time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has quietly undergone some changes. The people who live under the emperor's feet may not feel very strongly, but for the people who come to Beijing, this feeling is relatively strong. .

The cold wind was howling and the dust was flying. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the streets inside and outside the capital, the Forbidden City was still so quiet.

Qianqing Palace.

Dongnuan Pavilion.

"It seems that Qian Qianyi is quite capable of doing things." Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion and looked at the memorial in his possession. "There is nothing unexpected about Governor Ji Liao. Wang Qing and the others have left the capital, right?"

"Your Majesty, everyone has left the capital to take up his post."

Wang Tiqian, who was serving at the side, hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. "that's great."

Zhu Youxiao said with emotion, and looked at the notes he was holding, with a sneer on his lips. If you want to hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches, otherwise it will be difficult to get things done.

Previously, Zhu Youxiao was still thinking about how to replace Jizhou, Changping, Yongping, Miyun, Bazhou and other military personnel, and asked Yang Sichang, Liang Tingdong, Wu Aheng, Chen Xinjia and other people who were specially summoned to Beijing to make arrangements. When arriving at these places, on the one hand, they reorganized the troops and prepared for the battle in the first year of Tianqi, and on the other hand, they accumulated some qualifications and planned for further reorganization in the future. Immediately afterwards, the officials and the ministers of the household department resigned. In this ulterior plan, Zhu Youxiao tasted the sweetness of remaining unmoved in the inner court despite the rising situation in the outer court.

"I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can pass the test depends on you." Thinking of people like Yang Sichang and Liang Tingdong, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in his heart: "If you want to be promoted in your official career, It won’t work if you don’t show some real skills, Nurhaci, I will definitely ask you to chip your front teeth this time.”

The battle of Liaozuo has always been in Zhu Youxiao's heart. Everything he did was to gain momentum for that battle. If Liaozuo could be saved, the Ming Dynasty could defeat Jianlu on the battlefield, even if a lot of them died in the battle. Athletes, as long as you can stand firm, this crisis will be over.

"It's been a few days since Cao Huachun returned to Beijing."

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and looked towards the Wangti Main Road.

"Your Majesty, it's been a few days."

Wang Tiqian lowered his head and said: "But Cao Huachun has not yet handed over the information about Sheliao to the Chief of Ceremonies."

"It seems that the situation in Liaodi is more complicated than I thought."

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Where are the recalled batch of guard eunuchs?"

"They are all taken into custody by the Ouchi Factory."

Wang Tigan said: "All the property in Beijing was confiscated, and the family members were arrested."

"A bunch of moths."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly: "The chaos in Liao land today is due to their wanton behavior."

If the eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner court are used well, they can assist the imperial power to check and balance the foreign dynasties. If they are not used well, it will cause a series of contradictions. The deepening reform of the inner court must be carried out steadily. Since the inner court has raised so many eunuchs and eunuchs, Zhu You The school must exert its curiosity effect.

"Your Majesty... Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Wei Zhongxian, the Admiral of Dongjishi Factory, have returned to the capital." A eunuch hurriedly walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, bowed respectfully and said, "I am waiting outside the Qianqing Gate now."

"Wei Banban is back?"

Zhu Youxiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a faint smile: "Is Wei Liangqing on duty at Qianqing Palace today?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Liangqing is on duty today and is outside the palace right now."

Wang Tiqian lowered his head slightly and said.

"Tell him to summon Wei Banban."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hands.

"The slaves obey the order."

Speaking of the investigation of Huangzhuang Huangdian, it took more than two months. Even Zhu Youxiao did not expect it to be so fast. After all, there were many Huangzhuang Huangdian in Beizhili.

But well.

This matter was caught by Wei Zhongxian himself, so Zhu Youxiao was not so surprised. The current partial rectification involving the inner court had achieved initial results. Zhu Youxiao was also very curious as to what happened to these batches of rats after they were arrested. How much income can be generated by increasing internal funds?

If you want to know these situations, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer. After all, the investigation also takes time. Wei Zhongxian returned to the capital from the local area, and Zhu Youxiao was thinking about whether to implement some things. After all, Wei Zhongxian's It's a good knife, but it would be a big loss if it doesn't drink blood.
