Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 309 Zu Qing, worthy of being the pillar of the country
It was not an easy task for Emperor Chongzhen to rule the vast Ming Dynasty.

If there are too many groups enjoying privileges, it is hard to guarantee that various problems will arise.

From the detached and special vassals and groups of relatives, to the officials and gentry who control the real power and control the promotion channels.

This is like a web of intertwined interests.

This is not counting the students, squires, landlords, merchants, maritime merchants, and even the generals of the nine border towns all over the Ming Dynasty.

The vast majority of them enjoy the privileges bestowed by the imperial court, but secretly seize the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, these groups and classes have their own interests and propositions internally and externally. If they collide, they will fight.

'God damn it, really. '

Going to the Shenshu camp, the emperor Chongzhen, who took the Luanjia, secretly said in his heart: "When the darkness becomes the mainstream, if you do your duty faithfully, it will become the original sin."

This is where the rebels are everywhere. It is clear that I, the son of heaven, are the rebels. On the contrary, they abide by the orthodox existence. '

It is difficult to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The people under his command were ineffective and unable to solve the actual problems of Daming, and the financial deficit was getting worse and worse. If they were killed, they would be labeled as suspicious and their reputation would be tarnished.

People who can do things, but they are slandered and framed in various ways by the dirty environment, so that the emperor can't distinguish the facts, and finally die in a daze.

Isn't this the situation of Emperor Chongzhen in history?
Therefore, the more diligent and self-restraining the government, the faster the Ming Dynasty will decline. This is not a kind of irony.

'The harder it is, the more motivated I am! '

Feeling the slowing down of Luanjia's speed, Emperor Chongzhen's expression was cold, and he secretly said: "Isn't it just the rebels? I will cultivate more loyal rebels to rebel against you guys and create a bright new Ming Dynasty!" '

"My lord...the military station of Shenshu Camp has arrived."

Han Zanzhou's voice sounded outside Luanjia.

Unlike when he first arrived at the Shenji Camp, the thoughts of the ministers and relatives in the accompanying team became complicated.

Especially the martial arts hall.

Emperor Chongzhen's decree to withdraw from the martial arts hall was like eggplant beaten by frost, and their mood was extremely low.

This means that the students in other lecture halls will inevitably be affected a little bit.

Although these disciples of Xunqi had all kinds of bad habits before.

But getting along day and night together, it is inevitable that there will be some feelings.

Especially those capable and willing to endure hardships like Wei Zhenghui, who are actually very popular, but because of the reduction of soldiers and salaries of the three major battalions, it has affected them.

"The last general is waiting to meet His Majesty!"

Under the call of Li Hongji, Marquis of Linhuai, Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, and Zu Dashou, the incumbent relatives and generals of the Shenshu Camp, Emperor Chongzhen walked out of Luanjia.

It is different from the military garrison in Shenji Battalion.

This Shenshu camp has a group of Liao generals like Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang. In addition, the last time Emperor Chongzhen inspected the right post of Shenshu camp, he did a relatively thorough job in eliminating troops and reducing pay.

Especially the rectification of this camp, it can be said to be completely new.

The group of relatives who are not in Beijing are all full of wine bags and rice bags, and they don't know how to figure out the holy meaning.

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "All follow me into the camp."

"Here!"

Surrounded by Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, and Zhu Chunchen, Emperor Chongzhen walked into the camp of the Shenshu camp.

There is no harm without comparison.

There is no need for Emperor Chongzhen to judge.

Only in the area of ​​camp rectification, Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Zhu Chunchen, ministers and relatives, can see the huge gap between the two.

Especially those descendants of Xun Qi.

After following Yu Jia into the camp of the Chinese army, after seeing all kinds of things, the younger brothers and sisters whose elders were serving in the Shenji camp all lowered their heads in shame.

Li Hongji, Liu Wenbing, Zu Dashou, and Wu Xiang, the priests and generals of the Shenshu camp, did not know what happened, but they could still sense the changes in the expressions of those who accompanied them in the imperial car.

After inspecting this way, I came to the commander of the Chinese army.

Emperor Chongzhen took a brief look, and did not go into any further investigations on the reduction of soldiers and wages at Shenshuying, including the compilation of various rosters and various official documents recording food and wages.

What to check?
Zu Dashou and his gang of Liao faction generals are all masters who live on empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers, and they are better at counterfeiting than the other.

Even though they left Liaoqian now and were forced to work in the Jingying side due to the pressure of reality, they didn't want to offend too many people.

As for the serving relatives of the Shenshu Camp, except for the right-hand general, Xinlehou Liu Wenbing and a few others, they are still loyal to Daming and have some ability.

Guys like the left deputy general of the Shenshu camp and Li Hongji, Marquis of Linhuai, are also a model of the fence-sitting faction, and they even betrayed Daming in the end.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not ask further questions, whether it was Li Hongji, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang or the like, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Liu Wenbing and a few others wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't express it.

"Your godly camp is doing pretty well."

Emperor Chongzhen sat in the main seat, scanned the people in the tent, fixed on Li Hongji and Zu Dashou, and said, "It's not like the Shenji Camp, what they did is a mess!
Xu Yunzhen's relatives in the Shenji camp were all dismissed from their official positions by me, and all the ministers in the camp were arrested.

Fool me one by one, prevaricate me, really think I have a good temper?You can fool around at will! ? "

"..."

Li Hongji, Zu Dashou and his party showed different expressions when they heard this remark. No one expected such a thing to happen.

Son of Heaven, this is serious!

Fortunately, I listened to Zu Dashou and the others!

Fortunately, Marquis Linhuai and the others were persuaded back then!
"Marquis of Linhuai!"

While everyone was secretly rejoicing, Emperor Chongzhen's roll call made Li Hongji shaken and hurried out.

"Chen is here!"

Looking at Li Hongji who was bowing to each other, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, feeling disgusted secretly, but he said: "The matter of eliminating troops and reducing wages in the Shenshu camp is well done.

You, the left deputy general of the Shenshu camp, have worked hard, know how to sympathize with my difficulties, and worry about the country.

Promoted to the right governor of the governor's office of the Chinese army, and the left deputy general of the Shenji battalion! "

"The minister leads the decree...thank you!"

Hearing this, Li Hongji suppressed his joy, and hurriedly clapped his hands in response.

Unexpectedly, a group of old and weak people in the Shenshu camp were eliminated without any loss in actual benefits, and they were promoted to officials.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen ordered several serving relatives one after another, and all of them were rewarded. Without exception, all of them were transferred from Shenshuying to serve in Shenjiying.

As for the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, if it is given, it will be given. Anyway, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is just an empty shell.

The most important point is that Li Hongji's new relatives in the Shenji Camp are all sitting on the wall, and those who are incompetent are gathered in the Shenji Camp so that they can be dismissed from their positions in the future.

Although Emperor Chongzhen is the Son of Heaven, if there is no legitimate reason for the hereditary group of relatives, they cannot seize the title at will. This is undoubtedly a matter that shakes the foundation of the country.

Unless you have committed the following serious crimes of restraint and intent to rebel, everyone will turn a blind eye to other small things, and it is rare to be a fool.

After all, the present Daming is not the Daming ruled by Emperor Taizu Gao.

Killing civil servants is like slaughtering chickens.

Killing a relative is like killing a dog.

As a family member in Beijing, the only private plot.

The main positions of the three major battalions are all held by relatives, such as the generals and guerrilla generals under their jurisdiction, which are held by foreign generals.

Before Cao Wenzhao and his group of fierce generals returned to the capital and passed the evaluation of Emperor Chongzhen, the main positions of the three major battalions should be occupied by the Xun Qi in Jing first.

"...Zu Qing, you are indeed the pillar of the country."

Having dealt with Li Hongji and the others, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zu Dashou, and said with a slight smile: "This time in the Shenshu camp, Zu Qing may have contributed a lot to the matter of eliminating soldiers and reducing wages.

Right now, there is a vacancy for the left deputy general of Shenshu Camp... I know that Zu Qing is dedicated to the court and is 'loyal' to me, so...so I promoted Zu Qing to fill this vacancy.

The right deputy general of the Xinlehou Zhuo Shenshu Battalion, the remaining one should be vacant. After discussion between Zu Qing and Xinlehou, he planned a memorial and submitted it to the Military Aircraft Department. "

"..."

Zhu Chunchen and Li Hongji's relatives showed complicated expressions, looking at Zu Dashou one after another, and many brows showed hostility.

Zu Dashou, who was roasted on the fire, suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

How did this get promoted again?

If it was in Liaoqian, then Ancestor Dashou would definitely be happy. After all, in this way, his ancestral family's background in Liaoqian will undoubtedly be strengthened a lot.

But it happened to be the left deputy general of the Shenshu camp. In the future, he will have the final say on the Shenshu camp in name.

But with a group of serving relatives watching from the sidelines, Zu Dashou didn't think there was anything to be happy about. This move also made it very difficult for him to leave Gyeonggi and return to Liaoqian.
