My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 133 New Year’s Eve
The news that Bi Ziyan wanted to check the accounts of various ministries in Beijing reached Zhu Youxiao's ears, but Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to it.

Today's Ming Dynasty cannot be established or destroyed.

As long as Jin Yiwei guarantees that Bi Ziyan will not "shoot himself with a gun in his back", he can investigate as much as he likes.

Now he just wants to wait for the New Year.

The courtiers, from the very beginning, impeached him, saying that he had cholera in the court.

It developed to the point where he asked for orders to punish the rebellious ministers at Beihongmen in Nanhaizi, but the emperor ignored him.

After discovering the emperor's indulgence towards Bi Ziyan, the courtiers gradually became quiet and could only wait quietly for the outcome of the matter.

Do something?
Are you kidding me? Being a Jinyiwei is just a job.

After a wave of beggars and homeless people were arrested in the capital, the public security environment in the capital became much better, and there were no such conditions.

As for the emperor's cancellation of the Zhengdan congratulations, everyone said they were used to it.

And as the new year approaches, the tight strings of Shuntian Mansion are finally loosened.

When the time comes on the first day, incense begins to be burned in the palace, and then the eunuchs of each sect slam the door bolts on the ground three times, which means "dropping a thousand gold coins" and means rolling wealth in the coming year.

Then, the money comes out and rewards are given: a gift box called "Pepsi Daji Boxer", which contains snack boxes with persimmons, lychees, longans, chestnuts and other items.

Everyone has a share, and Yang Bailao even knows how to give Xi'er a red headband during the Chinese New Year. The emperor certainly has this in spades.

According to custom, the next step was the court meeting.

All civil and military officials in Beijing, relatives of distinguished nobles, and foreign envoys must participate.

The ladies in the harem also have to go into the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

However, there is no such project now, and the reason is very simple. There is no one in the harem.

Concubine Zheng, everyone is unwilling to go, Li Xuanshi is not qualified, the concubine Liu in history. . .

Zhu Youxiao did not seal him, and the golden seal of the Queen Mother was still in Zhu Youxiao's hand. He could not let anyone in the harem restrain him.

And with the cancellation of court gatherings and greetings, everyone can finally celebrate the New Year with their families.

Although he said something like the emperor was indifferent to the power of the Ming Dynasty.

But I was happy in my heart. One was that I got an extra month's salary, and the other was that I didn't have to suffer the cold weather.

Zhu Youxiao, who decided to be a single husband to the end, did not choose to return to the palace during the New Year.

Instead, he chose to read quietly in the old Yamen of Nanhaizi.

Rewards were distributed to all the soldiers in the Beijing camp. Although the camps were lively, Zhu Youxiao did not join in the fun.

It's too chaotic, and the emperor's safety cannot be guaranteed.

At the same time, Liaodong.

Shenyang City, which had suffered from military disasters for several years, finally had some life.

Xiong Tingbi ordered the treasuries of the cities in Liaodong to be opened and rewarded the soldiers with food and pay.

You can think with your toes that at this time next year, Jiannu will definitely attack Liaoshen with all his strength. As long as Liaoshen can be defended, the money and food will be well spent.

But if you can't hold on and keep the money and food, isn't that not endearing yourself to the enemy?
At the same time, the generals also organized riding and shooting, Cuju, and invited theater troupes to let everyone relax and relax their nerves that had been tense for a long time.

"On a snowy night in the chaotic mountains, a stranger is alone."

After inspecting the situation in the city, Sun Chengzong led people walking on the streets of Shenyang City.

"It has been three years since the Sichuan Army arrived in Liaodong, and the soldiers are all homesick."

"Yes, it has been nearly three years since I left Sichuan. Everyone misses their families."

Qin Bangping, who was following Sun Chengzong, sighed.

"I don't know when I can go back."

"When Jiannu is in peace, he can go back."

Knowing how to deal with these generals, Sun Chengzong smiled heartily and consoled him.

"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments. When you return to the capital, you will definitely be granted the title of marquis and general." "The general will borrow your good words."

Hearing this, Qin Bangping quickly cupped his hands and said.

For these civil servants and eunuchs, Qin Bangping came to the conclusion through the experience of his brother-in-law Ma Qiancheng: Don't offend them.

"Sir, except for the general on duty, everyone else has arrived."

At this moment, a general came to Sun Chengzong to report.

"Let's go back to the banquet."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong waved his hand and led everyone towards the governor's Yamen.

Along the way, in Shenyang city, every house was decorated with lanterns, door paintings, couplets, and children setting off firecrackers.

Looking at this scene, Sun Chengzong had a smile on his face.

The effect of his two months of governing Liaodong has been shown.

Liaodong cannot be defended by relying solely on high-pressure military and political governance and trying to win back the hearts and minds of the people in Liaodong.

By the time they entered the governor's office, Qin Minping and other generals had already arrived for a long time.

At this time, in Shenyang City, in addition to those on duty, generals from more than a thousand households were all in the governor's office.

Of course, except Jin Yiwei.

Secret service organizations like the Jinyiwei were not only disliked by civilian officials, but also by military generals.

With them present, no one would be happy.

Everyone stood up to greet him and asked Sun Chengzong to take the seat.

"It's the Chinese New Year, and it's not easy for me to spoil your mood. Let's have a quick drink in the governor's office."

Picking up the wine glass and looking at everyone in the hall, Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"I have sent these New Year gifts to the camps. After the banquet is over, the generals will return to their camps to appease the soldiers."

"Thank you, Lord Governor."

Hearing this, all the generals bowed quickly.

Everyone is still very convinced of Sun Chengzong.

That bear barbarian Xiong Tingbi is too cruel.

Veterans like Chen Yin and Chai Guozhu were pushed so hard that Xiong Tingbi couldn't bear it.

After Sun Chengzong arrived, Xiong Tingbi went to Liaoyang.

Although Sun Chengzong still followed Xiong Tingbi's requirements for the armies, he chose to be gentle and gentle, which slightly relaxed the pressure on the armies.

Moreover, as the Jinyiwei led by Luo Sigong confiscated the generals and merchants in Liaodong who were suspected of colluding with the slave establishment, they obtained some money and food.

Although the amount was not very large, after the emperor approved that Liaodong could be retained directly, the money was used to transfuse bags of blood to Liaodong.

After having a banquet with the generals in the city, the generals returned to the barracks one after another to pack up and lead the soldiers to celebrate the New Year.

At the same time, the old bustard in Shenyang City collected money from the generals and took the prostitutes to reward the army.

Regarding this matter, as long as it was not a robbery, Sun Chengzong pretended not to have seen it at all.

When the military solves physical problems, one is to solve them internally, such as marrying off each other's daughters if you have a family.The second is prostitution, the third is secret prostitution, and the fourth is robbing civilian girls.

Nowadays, Xiong Tingbi has rectified military discipline many times. Not to mention robbing civilian women, even robbing people for food will cost them their heads.

But it's far away from home and it's the Chinese New Year. If the soldiers hold it in for a long time, something will happen.

And this kind of thing has long been a rule. For example, when the two Song Dynasties were communicating, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu met like this.

And similarly, these prostitutes are also willing. This is their opportunity to escape from their humble status.

No one wants to wallow in the dust all his life. Now there is a war in Liaodong. As long as the person he likes can work for an official position, even if it is a small flag officer, he can escape from the dust.
