Chapter 456: Crazy Chongzhen (Third Update, Reward Plus Update)
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said:
Liu Hongchuan, the Duke of Anguo, since he was appointed to supervise the division, drove out the Tartars, was invincible, recovered the lost land, raised the prestige of our country, made outstanding achievements, and was named the king of Anguo County, hereditary replacement.
The reward of thousands of gold, five python suits, and a mansion of the former Chengguo Mansion were given.
Chin this! ”
The will was written very briefly, and it was still an old acquaintance Wang Erxi who came to deliver the will.
This guy is already a eunuch with the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, and it stands to reason that the palm seal of the celebrant is the pinnacle of the ministers, and he is not needed for such a trivial matter as the decree.
But everything depends on people, not to mention the relationship between Chongzhen and Liu Hongji, just Liu Hongji's recommendation and rescue grace are enough to make Wang Erxi willing to be a cow and a horse.
"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but our family misses it so much!" Wang Erxi finished reading the will.
Liu Hong's promotion to the county king Wang Erxi is not surprised at all, they are all clear-eyed people, if there is no Liu Hongjian in the Ming Dynasty, it would have been broken by the army as early as a year ago, not to mention the Northern Expedition.
"Xiao Wang, you are idle, but the official has suffered enough outside the customs! Walk, go to the house and chat. Liu Hong gradually took the holy decree and squeaked to the left, climbed Wang Erxi's shoulder with his right hand and walked into the house.
From a commoner to the king of the county, Liu Honggradually took less than a year and a half, if he was an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been as happy as Fan Juren, but Liu Hongjian was like no one.
What earls, marquises, princes, and county kings are just changed to more noble titles, and how much is fame and fortune enough?
It is enough to be able to afford what he wants, to eat the food he wants, and to meet all the needs of his family, he has never thought about fighting for money in his life, he only thinks about making his family live a peaceful life, and only thinks that the people around him can also eat enough.
And everything else, comes in passing.
"Lord Wang, let's talk about it later, long live Lord is still waiting for you in the palace! Hurry up and enter the palace with our family. Wang Erxi frowned slightly, as if there was something unspeakable.
"What's the matter, what's going on in the palace?" Liu Hong gradually pretended to be confused, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, Uncle Chongzhen has done a good job recently, and he has the style of an ancestor.
"Oh, the palace is messed up now, let's talk while walking!" Wang Erxi waved his hand and motioned to a team of yellow men to hand over the many things rewarded by Chongzhen to the people of the Guogong Mansion, and then gradually went out with Liu Hong.
However, it was said that Chongzhen had returned from outside the Guan, as if he had changed his person, and on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, he arrested 58 courtiers, and even took the Dingwang Mansion to the army.
Dingwang Zhu Cijiong himself was also imprisoned in Jinyiwei's edict, and Dingwang's mansion is still surrounded by soldiers from Beijing, and all the guards were escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department.
On the morning of the second day, Chongzhen questioned the ministers, but none of the officials dared to speak, and the Jinyi guard tortured him overnight, and Chongzhen began to engage in a big deal.
After several interrogations, what Chongzhen did not expect was that Zheng Sanjun, the old minister of the Three Dynasties, the secretary of the ministry, and the first assistant of the cabinet, turned out to be the initiator of this matter.
Chongzhen was almost stunned, and the first assistant of the cabinet was equivalent to the prime minister of the National Council in later generations, except for Chongzhen, political affairs were mainly from the hands of Zheng Sanjun.
The Ministry of Officials is the head of a hundred officials, whether it is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials or the head of the cabinet, they are the top official positions in the imperial court.
This old man can be regarded as a breeze on his sleeves, otherwise he would not have been spared from the raid last year.
Chongzhen was furious, and directly threw the first assistant of the cabinet who dismissed Zheng Sanjun and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites into the edict, and the first assistant of the cabinet turned back, and Chongzhen didn't look like a good thing to anyone.
The Imperial History of the Inspectorate and the Six Departments were almost wiped out, and in three days, there were less than half of the people in the court, and this situation only appeared five times in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.
The first four times were all from Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the empty seal case, the Guo Heng case, or the Hu Weiyong case, or the Lan Yu case, the number of people killed in each case was more than 10,000.
The fifth time came from Zhu Chongba's son Zhu Di, this guy is also a ruthless person, because he killed thousands of palace maids in the harem with one sentence, and they were all Ling Chi!
Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, these two are the emperors who hold the military power immediately, and no one can do anything even if they kill the sky.
Not to mention that Chongzhen is now more and more like an ancestor, and when he comes back from the Northern Expedition, the first thing he does is to start with the courtiers, and arrest more than 280 officials at all levels in three days, plus the families and entourage of these officials, there are more than 4,000.
But Chongzhen is very domineering in arresting people, the problem is that whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, in addition to killing people, people are also very good at employing people.
But Chongzhen can't, it's true that he has soldiers in his hands, but soldiers can only kill people, and they have to rely on civilian officials to deal with government affairs.
If he had this ability, he would not have changed forty or fifty cabinet chiefs and assistants in seventeen years, and he would not have accomplished a single thing.
For so many years, Chongzhen probably knew that he had a problem with his vision, and after arresting so many officials, the court was almost paralyzed, and then Chongzhen finally remembered Liu Hongji.
Thinking that this shaft had been idle at home for three days, he immediately ordered Wang Erxi to summon him, and by the way, he also brought the edict of Jin Jue.
"It's better to catch it, so that the treasury can be fuller." Liu Hong gradually listened to Wang Erxi's chatter, and came quietly.
Although most of the remaining officials were poor after the last raid, it is inevitable that some of them will slip through the net, and even if these officials are poor, their relatives are not necessarily poor.
Don't you hear that a person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven?
Liu Hongjian is noncommittal about tossing officials, as long as he doesn't toss the people, everything is nothing, and he can do it casually if he has soldiers in his hands.
"Oh, Lord Wang, this is a major matter of the country, why do you still think that the court is not chaotic!" Seeing that Liu Hongjian didn't take it seriously at all, Wang Erxi was not calm.
Not only the court, but even the harem is not restless, the king of Ding, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cihong, are compatriots, and their son was arrested by his son, and Queen Zhou will definitely not do it.
Queen Zhou went to intercede for Zhu Cijiong, but Chongzhen was determined to kill her relatives, but she was not allowed.
Now Chongzhen himself has been alone in the Warm Pavilion for three days, except for the anger of the previous dynasty, he is angry in the Warm Pavilion.
"Alas, the emperor is so pitiful, little Wang, you have to serve the emperor well, and the medicine can't be stopped." It's useless to be in a hurry, seeing that Wang Erxi was in a hurry, Liu Hong gradually beat the horse and sped up.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen had already been waiting here, he had just gone down to the early court, and his anger had not yet disappeared.
"Your Majesty, although state affairs are complicated, you still have to pay attention to your body!" Liu Hong gradually entered the main hall in a hurry.
