Prince of Chaos

Chapter 326

After hearing the words Jizhen's corruption case, Daheng Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xiao Daheng is from Shandong, and he was much weaker than the southerners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the process of advancing to the center. He survived for more than 20 years before he was reused by virtue of various meritorious deeds, and was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Therefore, when he heard that the cabinet was going to thoroughly investigate the Jizhen corruption case, Daheng Xiao was excited.

Because, it's time for him to perform again.

During this period of time, he has made many announcements to strictly investigate Shi Xing's case, and the words he used are extremely fierce, almost wanting to kill Shi Xing on the spot.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Xing had been in the center for so many years, and there were so many old disciples of various kinds, with Xiao Daheng's perseverance, the current Shi Xing estimated that the grass on the grave would be three feet high.

However, when it comes to Shi Xing, he can be considered an unlucky boy.

Originally, he was the Minister of the Household Department. Although it was difficult to be the Minister of the Household Department, at least he was considered a God of Wealth. All the yamen had to beg and coax him, otherwise the salary would be lost.

And when Shi Xing was serving as Minister of the Household Department, it was also the time when Emperor Wanli's desire for money was extremely inflated. At that time, Emperor Wanli was considering whether to ask the Household Department for money to enrich his internal funds.

At that time, Shi Xing, who was the Minister of the Household Department, had no money to give to Emperor Wanli, but Shi Xing still did some actions to let Emperor Wanli see that Shi Xing was indeed trying to save him money. Therefore, Wanli The emperor's attitude towards Shi Xing was pretty good.

Although, Emperor Wanli did not ask the Ministry of Households for money in the end. .

At that time, Shi Xing's method of saving money for Emperor Wanli was also simple and rude. Shi Xing directly cut the money of the Ministry of War.

Although, after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not very good.However, among the surrounding countries at that time, the strength of the Ming army was still well-deserved and the absolute leader.

However, after Shi Xing's coquettish operation, the Ministry of War has no money to continue to maintain the basic supply and combat power of the Ming army.

And Emperor Wanli was not the son of heaven right away, the education he received from an early age was almost regarded as an education that emphasized literature over martial arts. Therefore, Emperor Wanli not only did not feel bad about Shi Xing's coquettish operations, but felt that Shi Xing was a good way to save money. officials.

Therefore, just before the Ningxia Guwai Rebellion, Emperor Wanli actually transferred Shi Xing from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Households to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, thinking that Shi Xing would make persistent efforts and continue to save money for him.

As a result, I also saw that next Ningxia’s worship was reversed, and Yang Yinglong’s in Bozhou also reversed, and there were also many small-scale military mutinies across the country.

However, the occurrence of these incidents did not make the old empire reflect on its own problems. Instead, they believed that this situation was due to the moral corruption of the vulgar warriors, who did not know how to be loyal to the emperor, patriotism, and the way of the emperor and his ministers.

At that time, Zhu Changluo was also aware of these situations, but he was still too young at that time, and he was always thinking about how to get rid of Zheng Guifei, the number one threat.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo could only sigh secretly.

In the end, Zhu Changluo took a huge risk to save Qi Jiguang's southern army who was about to be in the center of the storm.

As for the military mutiny incidents in other places, Zhu Changluo could only do nothing to help them, watching them happen silently.

Therefore, letting Shi Xing serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, in Zhu Changluo's view, this is completely a layman commanding an expert.

Although, the minister of the Ministry of War has always been held by civil servants.

However, those officials who can serve as ministers of the Ministry of War are almost all officials with the experience of local governors. They have combined military and political power in the local area, and their understanding of military affairs is quite high.Although they do not have the ability to reform the Ming army, they are still reasonable in terms of maintaining the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Just like Xing Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War and Governor of Jiliao who went to Korea, he was recommended to this position because of his experience in military training and fighting.

This shows how important it is for professional people to do professional things!

Therefore, Shi Xing, who is well versed in the way of managing money and saving money, naturally fell into the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

He might have thought of making fakes by himself, and if he ended the war early, he would save money for the court and save face for Emperor Wanli.

However, what he didn't expect was that these vicious Japanese pirates were so ignorant of flattery!

The imperial court has decreed to send a special envoy to Japan to reward the python robe, and canonized Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the king of Japan.

It stands to reason that if a minister of a small state can have the seal of approval from the state, this is almost a matter of smoke from the ancestral grave.He can completely replace the original Japanese king and become the new Japanese ruler in accordance with the imperial decree of Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the information error that appeared in the middle is really too big.

Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi has become the actual ruler of Japan, Japan's political system is too deformed, and it is completely different from the traditional understanding of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Even if the kings of Japan were starved to death, killed, or raped by powerful ministers, they still had to maintain the so-called eternal lineage.

Because, the power of this eternal system has the same effect as that emphasized now since ancient times.

As long as there is still the signboard of the Emperor of Japan, even if Japan plays a dog brain, they will not be split in the end.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi really accepted the canonization of the Japanese king of Ming Dynasty in a jerk, then he would face endless opposition in Japan.

At that time, let alone unify Japan, it is hard to say whether it can save its life.

Therefore, it was Shi Xing's miscalculation of the internal situation of the pirates that made such an unreliable trick.

Since it was a stupid move, he would definitely be backlashed by his own stupid move.

And this backlash also came very quickly, Shi Xing had not been safe for two years, and the Japanese pirates attacked North Korea again.

For the face-loving Emperor Wanli, this was not a slap in the face!
Therefore, Shi Xing's death was naturally exposed in advance under Zhu Changluo's secret instruction at this time.

Moreover, even if Zhu Changluo didn't expose this matter and developed according to the original historical track, Shi Xing's matter still couldn't be covered up.

In the end, he was still going to be taken down by Emperor Wanli and put in prison.

Moreover, in the original historical time and space, Xiao Daheng, who was the minister of the Ministry of punishment, saw Shi Xing who had become a prisoner, and he would definitely advocate Shi Xing's death with righteous words.

Therefore, Shi Xing's final outcome, regardless of whether Zhu Changluo contributed to the flames, his fate has long been defined by history.

However, at this time, Shi Xing may not die as easily as in the original historical time and space.

This time, Shi Xing will definitely die vigorously, and will definitely not die of illness in prison like the original historical time and space.
