Chapter 1014: Seeing Each Other and Seeing Each Other Is Red
In the afternoon, the heat gradually rises, there are few pedestrians on the street, they are all chatting or taking a break in the shade, and a team of soldiers and horses patrols listlessly.
It is not strange that there are also people under the root of the imperial city who are enjoying the coolness, as long as they do not come here at night, they will not be driven away.
A carriage stopped outside the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, and some people were curious to see who it was, but they only saw a back, wearing a green shirt and hiding in the Imperial City Gate.
In the Qianqing Palace, there are ice cubes to cool down, the palace maid shakes the fan, Emperor Chongzhen put down the book in his hand, and waved away the palace maid to give Chang Yu: "It's negotiated?" ”
Chang Yu arched his hand and said: "Three years."
Hey, Emperor Chongzhen looked surprised: "You can open your mouth more than a lion than me." Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Minister, I thought they were going to cut a price, so they shouted a little and waited for a counteroffer, who knew that the three of them might have thought too much, and they didn't even make a bargain."
"That can only be said that they have made far more money than we guessed" Emperor Chongzhen exhaled: "But since this matter has been answered, they will not retreat, and they will not make up for it, and the three years of self-sufficiency will also make the burden on the court a little lighter."
Chang Yu snorted, but he couldn't be happy, it seemed that they were self-sufficient, but in fact, they used the people's fat and people's ointment that Li Zicheng plundered the people, and in the end, it was the people who suffered!
"Minister, I expect that what they have obtained is enough for three years of self-sufficiency, but they will never really use it all to form a self-sufficient" Chang Yu sighed, and Emperor Chongzhen frowned: "You mean ......"
"There is a precedent for Gao Jie and the three of them to be not good, they bully the people, and they do all kinds of evil!"
"So you have to send someone to keep an eye on them" Emperor Chongzhen's face gradually turned cold, and he clenched his fists hard: "Bear with them a little longer, and you will slowly clean them up."
"No" Chang Yu shook his head: "Keep an eye on the first day of the first year, you can't prevent him from fifteen, rather than this, it's better to take care of it with you" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, and then woke up: "You should discuss this matter with Shi Kefa in detail and then give me a letter, I will fully cooperate with you."
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this matter is like a boat sailing down the river, there is almost no hindrance, the people in the court wish that the ministers were not in Beijing, and they can't say anything if they go south to suppress the thieves."
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to smile: "On the march to war, there is indeed no one in the court who can compare with you, but the government is far from being as simple as you think, and I can't understand a word about the powerful relationship, but fortunately, you just need to fight, win the battle, and hand over the rest to me, I am good at this, and I want to vomit the unhappiness of more than ten years!" ”
Chang Yu bowed his head and smiled secretly in his heart, this Emperor Chongzhen's revenge came up, and he was happy to do it as soon as he tasted a little sweetness.
It's no wonder that since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, he has been pressed to death by the cabinet, and he can't breathe in the air, and then think about how leisurely his brother Tianqi Emperor is, all because there is a Wei Zhongxian behind him, and now he finally has the confidence to vomit more than ten years of depression.
"What do you think about the anti-corruption in Beijing" Shaoqing, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked.
Chang Yu pondered for a while and said: "The effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has been achieved, and the emperor's determination has also made the courtiers feel it, and they can almost accept it, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no one in the court!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "There is no one in the court!" It's sad and lamentable! ”
Recently, Dongchang and Jinyi Weidu Procuratorate have joined forces to investigate corruption, anti-corruption and even mutual investigation, but they have really touched a lot of fish, even big fish, under the hint of Emperor Chongzhen, only caught some small fish and shrimp, and the big fish only secretly warned and did not take people, that is, they were afraid that they would be implicated too widely, and they would catch a nest, and no one in the court could be used, which was really a joke.
"Isn't that what you want to do?" Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly.
"Naturally" Chang Yu smiled slightly, "Otherwise, they won't be able to remember, why should the emperor toss around, warn of beating and fines, and leave this matter to Jinyiwei."
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "Why don't you go to Dongchang and give up the credit to Wu Mengming in vain."
Chang Yu smiled again: "Minister, there are too many enemies, let's give such a good thing to Lord Wu."
Emperor Chongzhen also smiled: "You also know that your hands are hot, so let Wu Mengming do it if he has been a little idle recently" and looked at Chang Yu meaningfully: "You won't deliberately retaliate against Wu Mengming."
Chang Yu was at a loss: "Minister, why do you want to take revenge on Lord Wu, isn't it that he has done something sorry for the minister......"
Emperor Chongzhen smiled but did not speak.
In the courtyard of the Great World Hall outside the front door, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Tang Tong and others were all there, picking up the wind for Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo, who had newly entered the city.
This annex is Chang Yu's residence in the capital, which is secretive, quiet and has everything, and ordinary people will never enjoy it, not to mention ordinary Beijing officials who enter Beijing to report on their work, even the bigwigs of the six ministries do not have this treatment.
In addition to the low salary and the high consumption of the capital, there are other aspects, such as the inn is mostly mixed with the wine shop Qinglou, and the dignified court officials have just entered Beijing during the period, and they must not be pointed at and passed to the ears of the imperial history, so it is necessary to splash ink and render.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty forbade officials to exceed the standard of accommodation. "Da Ming Law, Military Law V, Post Station" stipulates: "All tolerance personnel, go out to do office work, occupy the main hall of the post house, 50 lashes." This means that if officials from other provinces covet comfortable accommodation when they enter Beijing and live in a hotel, they will be beaten with 50 boards if they are discovered.
The inn is inconvenient and inconvenient, or can you live in a fellow village hall?
It is also a "bullet" of impeachment to the imperial history. After all, since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has tried its best to prevent officials from forming gangs and colluding with each other. It is not easy for officials from other provinces to travel thousands of miles to Beijing, so why should they live in the guild hall and be frightened and find their own guilt?
So in order to save and avoid suspicion, choose more temples.
Civil officials are like this, and military generals are not afraid of the stigma of the land of fireworks because of their military power, but they do not dare to suspect that they have close relations with anyone.
Now this tricky matter has been solved by the little eunuch, although a few military bigwigs are not bad for money, but it is best for someone to eat and live and play, and this kind of place is completely isolated from outsiders, the only one who can come and go closely is Dongchang, even if it is known by some imperial history, it doesn't matter.
Dongchang is the emperor's confidant, and his close relationship with him is very close to the emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen can't ask for it to be very close to these generals.
In this courtyard, the heroes gathered together, and almost all the military bosses in Jiangbei arrived, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Tang Tong, Ma Ke, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and the seven general soldiers sat in the hall, and the aura was so great that the waiting servants trembled their legs.
It's just that the atmosphere in the hall is a little wrong.
Which of these seven people is not the military boss who stomped his feet and shook one side, and one person is a river and lake, not to mention seven people.
It's too tactful to say that there is discord, but in fact, they just don't look at each other.
Zhou Yuji is heavy, at least on the scene, he is still passable, but Huang Degong is straightforward and fast-talking, and jealous and hateful, he has always had a dislike with Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie, and he really felt sick to his stomach when he saw it, how could he have a good face, and although he and Liu Liangzuo had fought side by side, he was not ashamed of being a person, and he also loved to ignore it.
It can be said that without saying a few words when they met, the smell of gunpowder came up, and under Liu Zeqing's fanning of the flames, if it weren't for Zhou Yuji's left and right circles, Gao Jie and Huang Degong would almost have done it. It was Tang Tong and Marco who had a good time watching from the side.
"Taking advantage of the weakness to take advantage of the situation and selling well, Tian is shameless!" Huang Degong's face was disdainful, skimming Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's faces.
With a bang, Gao Jie smashed the table: "Give Zhou Zongbing face, I have endured you a few times, we have come to help for thousands of miles, you have captured the Tartars, and you have to eat and drink in the camp and can enter the city to play, Lao Tzu's brother is now drenched in the rain and wind outside the city, and he can't even eat the thick mouth, you still tell Lao Tzu that you are shameless, shameless past you."
"Fuck, what can you do if you can't bear it, do you want to fight with Lao Tzu" Huang Degong roared, got up and wanted to do it again, but was stopped by Tang Tong and Ma Ke: "Don't hurt and be angry."
"We seized the Tartars, but the brothers fought hard for thousands of miles, if you didn't defeat the thieves in Baoding Mansion after our bloody battles, you can pick up the cheap so easily, but at this time you are still thinking about a piece of the pie, don't want to face it, you can make a point of strength to beat the Tartars!" Huang Degong split his head and covered his face, and scolded him.
Gao Jie's eloquence was not good, and he was suddenly dumb but he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, Liu Zeqing helped out in a timely manner: "First of all, whether to pick up the cheap or not, we are acting on orders, when the factory governor ordered us to chase the enemy, it is difficult for us to disobey the military order, if we have the courage, we don't have to run this trip if we save the hard work."
The implication is that everything is done on orders, it is my fate to take advantage of it, it is the little eunuch who gives it cheaply, you don't accept him to go, you don't deserve to be unlucky.
These words immediately made Huang Degong speechless, and immediately became angry, he had a grudge against Liu Zeqing, so he picked up the tea bowl and slammed it over: "You are the most shameless......
Liu Zeqing dodged sideways, he was also angry, everyone in the hall hurriedly persuaded each other, and pulled the two apart, Zhou Yuji frowned and roared: "If you are all the general soldiers of the dignified side, you are not afraid of spreading it out and embarrassing people and making people laugh."
"Who dares to laugh? Huang Pifu, if you don't accept it, let's go out and fight" Gao Jie roared.
"Everyone, what's the matter, it's so lively" A voice came from outside, and Li Yan came slowly on crutches.
