Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 32 Sun Chengzong

The great court meeting held outside the Huangji Gate came to an end with the announcement of the end of court, but the impact it produced caused ripples between the government and the public.

The two cases of Hongwan and Yigong were jointly reviewed. Hong Chengchou was promoted to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Zhili Qingli Division Langzhong, and the engineering department was given. Hui Shiyang and Zuo Dudu Zheng Yangxing were arrested and imprisoned. Shaoqing, the fiasco of the Battle of Saarhu was ordered to investigate...

The sudden changes mentioned above shocked the officials of the Outer Court. Not long after the end of the Great Court Meeting, many censor officials knelt outside the Meridian Gate.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to these situations, and Ju Qianqing Palace summoned some ministers to implement the clear decision of the Great Court Council.

a few days later.

Qianqing Palace.

Compared with the noise outside the Meridian Gate, the Qianqing Palace is very quiet. The eunuchs and eunuch groups waiting outside the palace all bowed their heads and stood in place. The peace and turmoil did not affect the inner court at all.

Wearing a big red python robe, Wei Zhongxian walked into the East Nuan Pavilion with his head bowed, holding a cup of freshly brewed strong tea. Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who was serving in front of the imperial court, looked over and saw that Wei Zhongxian did not make a sound when he saw the person coming. He looked at the busy emperor at his desk from the corner of his eye.

"My lord~"

Wei Zhongxian walked to the imperial court and whispered cautiously: "Let's have a cup of tea."

"Is there still trouble at the Meridian Gate?"

Zhu Youxiao put down his imperial pen, rubbed his swollen temples, and looked at Wei Zhongxian.

"Yes."

Holding the teacup, Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and said, "Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou will not leave."

"Then keep kneeling."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to take the tea cup, frowning slightly and said: "I would like to see how long they can kneel. How about the Jin Yiwei side?"

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao took a sip of strong tea.

Since the end of the great court meeting, Zhu Youxiao has been busy in Qianqing Palace. He has not held an ordinary court meeting for several days in a row, and all the officials have tacitly shut up.

With such a big turmoil, even if the emperor convened an ordinary court, the things mentioned would be inseparable from these.

"Li Kezhuo and several others involved in the Hongwan case were arrested and sent to prison." Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and bowed: "The Zheng family and the Li family are also closely monitored by the Jinyiweiqi School."

Zhu Youxiao paused the teacup again, and said indifferently: "Send someone to tell Luo Sigong that if there is any mistake in one of the errands that Jin Yiwei is in charge of, then don't be his commander of Jin Yiwei, and don't come to see me."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed and responded.

However, Wei Zhongxian responded, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Why did the emperor let the royal guards closely monitor the Zheng family and the Li family?
The Zheng family is okay.

The left governor Zheng Yangxing was arrested and sent to prison. When the Hongwan and Yigong cases were thoroughly investigated, Zheng Yangxing was probably going to die, and it was normal for the Zheng family to be raided.

Only this Li family.

Even though Li Rubai was involved in the Saarhu War, the Li family was different after all. The late Li Chengliang was Uncle Ning Yuan during his lifetime, and the Li family had many disciples and old officials.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment, bowed and said, "My lord, in the past few days, there have been a lot of memorials related to the Battle of Saarhu, including..."

"There is no need to tell me such things."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted with a wave of his hand: "The supervisor of ceremonies should make a registration book, and submit it to the imperial court regularly. If you do something that is detrimental to the country, you can't just expose it if you ask for mercy!"

"Here!"

Wei Zhongxian said hurriedly.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao had already thought about how to deal with the Li family. When the case of the Sarhu War was investigated clearly, it was inevitable to search the house.

Li Rubai, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, made those coquettish operations.

If they are not brought to justice, let alone the majesty of the Ming Dynasty's laws, those Ming Dynasty athletes who died in vain will not be able to rest in peace under the Jiuquan!

Zhu Youxiao now wants to take a good look at how much energy Li Chengliang, who was buried in the loess, left for the Li family, and how much the Li family's disciples and old officials can jump out.

"My lord, Sun Chengzong, the son of the left concubine, is here."

"Announce it."

Zhu Youxiao sat on the Luohan bed and looked at Sun Chengzong who walked in, with a complicated expression on his face. Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to use this minister of Ming Dynasty who had mixed praises and criticisms.

Sun Chengzong, whose courtesy name was Zhisheng, was from Gaoyang, Baoding, North Zhili. He had good relations with some people in the Donglin Party, but he did not belong to the Donglin Party. How could a person live in this world without some human connections?
There is nothing to doubt Ming’s loyalty. In the 11th year of Chongzhen’s reign, the Daqing invaded and killed Gaoyang. The Sun family in Gaoyang was full of loyalty. When the city was broken, Sun Chengzong hanged himself. Two nephews and eight nephews died in battle, and more than a hundred members of the Sun family were killed.

The only controversial aspect of Sun Chengzong is the set of military concepts he put forward when he was in charge of Liaodong.

"The big rules will be waived."

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was about to salute, Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and said, "Sun Qing came to the imperial court for a feast?"

"Yes."

Sun Chengzong bowed his head and said.

"Then what is Sun Qing going to say today?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

"Chen~"

Sun Chengzong was a little hesitant. He saw all the things that happened in the past few days. People enter the prison, and the factory guards are reused...

Especially when the emperor re-employed factory guards, Sun Chengzong was a little worried.

However, with the emergence of these measures, the chaotic situation of the court has been somewhat temporarily stabilized. Sun Chengzong felt that it was very good. After all, under the current situation, the central court could not continue to be chaotic.

All matters related to Liaodong alone need to be clarified quickly, so as to prevent the establishment of the Eight Banners, which threatens the stability of Liao.

"Since Sun Qing didn't think it through, let me talk about it."

Seeing Sun Chengzong's hesitation, Zhu Youxiao said: "Does Sun Qing know much about the Liao land? I want to hear what you think about the current Liao affairs."

Ok?
Sun Chengzong's heart tightened. The Liao events mentioned by the emperor did not belong to the category of Jingyan.

Zhu Youxiao wasn't in the mood to listen to any sutra feasts, a lot of bad things were waiting for him to deal with, and then he could effectively sort out the messy Daming.

The things he did before were to focus on a core idea, to cool down the turbulent court, to prevent the internal friction of the party from dissipating too much, and to grasp the leading power of several important cases, so as to gradually eliminate those attached political schemes. , so that the attention of all parties in the court can move according to the rhythm controlled by him.

Only by doing these plans well and solidly, can Zhu Youxiao effectively intervene in the localities, so as to realize the central idea of ​​gradually planning reforms, especially the affairs of Liaodi.

If he wanted to rule the vast Ming Dynasty well, Zhu Youxiao could not do without the assistance of the central court, and it was a stupid way to govern and control the Ming Dynasty by leapfrogging.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

As for Sun Chengzong, the position of a left concubine is still too low. In Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao will most likely not send Sun Chengzong there. The reason why he asked Sun Chengzong about this is to hear Sun Chengzong's opinion. Reusing Sun Chengzong is an inevitable trend. Sun Chengzong is not up to the level of a strategist, but if he is an auxiliary tactician, he can still gain a firm foothold.

　Don't raise it, you must follow up, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward!
