I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 407 Cuckolding Chongzhen
Chapter 407

"All of them, no one left?"

Sun Zhiyi actually supported Cheng Shijie's idea of ​​killing officials. At least it was not a big problem for the emperor and his courtiers to kill some officials, but it was a big problem to kill them all.

Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Zhiman and asked: "When He Jin, the great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, opened his mansion, his subordinates were Wang Qian, Sima Fanzeng, Xu Liang, doctors Wang Yun, Zheng Da, Bo Chenlin, Dong Cao, and Kuai Yue. The governors Wang Kuang, Kong Rong, Wang Lang, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Han Zhuo, Xuandu, Bian Rang, the generals Zheng Xuan, and Bao Xin were all members of the party who came from aristocratic families. Which one of them was not amazing? Why were they all praised? Jin regarded him as his confidant, but the general He Jin was killed by the palace gate, do you know the reason?"

Sun Zhiyi was also speechless about this. From the perspective of He Jin's subordinates in the General's Mansion, He Jin had a king bomb at that time. Except for the civil servants, he was the best among them. Camp, Queen He also controls the Northern Army. It can be said that it is too easy to kill several eunuchs.

Sun Zhiman thought of Emperor Chongzhen again. When Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, he immediately borrowed the Donglin Party's men and killed the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and then appointed Donglin Party members. At that time, the people were in full power, but the state affairs were in a mess.

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "Some people's buttocks are naturally crooked. It is impossible for them to cooperate with me. Even if I regard them as my confidants, they cannot pee in the same pot as me. In this world, many people Their conscience is actually bad. When they pick up the bowl to eat meat, they put down the chopsticks and curse at their mother. They are basically feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. Just like Wen Tiren, didn't Emperor Chongzhen treat him badly?"

Sun Zhidao frowned and said: "Even though these people are not toys, the problem is that if they kill on a large scale, I'm afraid it will cause panic!"

"I haven't taken action yet, how did they do it?"

Cheng Shijie said: "They spread rumors that I poisoned Emperor Chongzhen and detained Emperor Chongzhen. I am too lazy to talk nonsense to them. They have all been chopped up. There is absolutely no injustice. If I want to kill people, of course I must be fair and honest. As long as they As long as they do not engage in corruption or bribery, as long as they do not sell their official positions and become slaves, as long as they do not force good people to become prostitutes, as long as they abide by the law and have clear sleeves, I will never kill anyone indiscriminately!"

Even though these officials were imprisoned, Cheng Shijie did not let the jailers punish them. In fact, the jailers were quite polite to them, did not abuse them, and provided them with sufficient meals every day.

That's assuming the prisoners can eat brown rice and pickles.Of course, the jailers ignored all the bad checks they issued. The prisoners tried their best to bribe them, but to no avail. These jailers were all transferred from Liaodong, and this method was ineffective against the jailers in Liaodong.

Well, as long as these guys don't torture themselves, they can't escape even if they bribe these jailers anyway, so just stay in peace.

Different from the minor official system of the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the Ming Dynasty were actually controlled by powerful men and landlords. Officials in a county had been officials for generations, and they basically remained officials until the end, with no hope of promotion. Therefore, they only focused on making money.

This system is actually unscientific. It is like having six scribes in a county. In later generations, these would be officials at the level of directors of various bureaus. Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, they were just officials, and future generations would not even have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. When there is no hope for an official career, one will be obsessed with corrupt officials.

But this system does not exist in Liaodong. Counties in Liaodong do not have six county offices, only executive committees. Committee members at all levels are equivalent to six office clerks, each responsible for their own affairs. However, the problem is that these committee members are just Like the public servants in later generations, they could be promoted based on their performance and had their own evaluations. Unlike the counties in the Ming Dynasty, whether they did well or not was solely decided by the county magistrate.

The promotion of the executive committee is just like the promotion of officers in the army. The director and deputy director of the executive committee have the right to nominate, but not the right to review. The management committee, which has the right to review, does not have the right to nominate, and can only decide the personnel to be nominated. Are you eligible for promotion?

Cheng Shijie followed the method of later generations to avoid corruption as much as possible in the system, and the appointment of committee members was the same as the appointment of officials in the Han system, using the avoidance system.For example, people with Shuntian Prefecture membership cannot perform duties within Shuntian Prefecture, and now this system is about to be expanded. In other words, people with Shuntian Prefecture membership cannot not only perform duties in Shuntian Prefecture, but also cannot even perform duties in Shuntian Prefecture. Perform duties under direct supervision.

As the territory controlled by Cheng Shijie grew larger and larger, there were inevitably vacancies of officials. Cheng Shijie decided to make the Liaodong Management Committee the new cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Zhidao became Prime Minister, Yang Yuniang became Second Prime Minister, and Xie Jinglin became Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce. In fact, even if Cheng Shijie was changed to minister, they would still be secretly called Shangshu.

Because the level is the same.

Da Sima has been abolished many years ago, but the Minister of War is still called Da Sima.Some things cannot be changed intentionally. For example, in the year of [-], the braid on the head was cut off, but in fact, the braid has never been cut off. Many people's knees are still weak, and they kneel down but do not stand up. The adult's dick is fragrant.

When Cheng Shijie entered Beijing, he encountered a lot of troubles, but he didn't pay attention to the officials first, because they were squatting in prison and couldn't escape. The first problem that needed to be solved was the problem of Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Shijie's second sword slashed at the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. There were some things that Cheng Shijie couldn't figure out. When it came to taking refuge in Huang Taiji, it was not only the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, including Zhou Kui, the abbot, but also the vassal king.

Cheng Shijie couldn't understand that Empress Zhou was the empress of Emperor Chongzhen. Whoever betrayed the country would not be betrayed by Zhou Kui, a fool. No matter how hard Huang Taiji tried to pull Zhou Kui, he could not be more powerful than Emperor Chongzhen.

History is a cycle of reincarnation. From the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Wei Ziqi, the elder brother of Emperor Xin, and Bigan, the uncle of the king, all surrendered to the Western Zhou Dynasty and became the vanguard of the destruction of the Shang Dynasty. Whether it was Zhou Kui or those nobles, anxious There is nothing wrong with wanting Mie Ming to seek refuge with his new master.

Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Zhiman and said: "I have decided to make you the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty and upgrade the Liaodong Management Committee to the new cabinet of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Commander, is the first-level organizational structure of the government going to be abolished?"

"No, the provincial-level organizational structure must also be retained!"

Cheng Shijie said: "I plan to raise the management committee to the provincial level, the executive committee to the prefecture level, and the working committee to the county level. Now we still have to retain the three-level organizational system of provincial (prefecture) and county. Town, town, we will guarantee you!”

Reform is not about changing the name. There are some things that Cheng Shijie is quite helpless about. Ning Haijun is developing too fast. He also knows that a brigade like Ning Haijun must establish the above organizational structure, form a legion, and be responsible for military aspects. There are still many things to do in the future. Not only must we deal with Jiangnan and Guanzhong, but we must also plan for Annan in advance.

The Annan Army must go south to seize the territory first. In the future, the territory will be occupied more and more. Cheng Shijie does not have Annan to settle the people, and his food cannot feed the people of the whole world.

Cheng Shijie seemed to find something missing and looked at Zhou Ning and asked, "Where did Shen Mingyu go? Why haven't I seen him during this time?"

Cheng Shijie was also a little curious. Although he did not order Shen Mingyu to participate in this war, with Shen Mingyu's character, he would definitely come to ask for a fight. As a result, it had been more than two months and not even a human figure was seen.

Zhou Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, has Shen Ming Yu caused you a big trouble?"

"What's the big trouble?"

"This... I don't know what to say!"

"Speak directly if you have something to say!"

Zhou Ning bit the bullet and said: "Commander, do you know Concubine Yuan?"

"Concubine Yuan?"

Emperor Chongzhen had one concubine and two concubines, namely the imperial concubine Tian Xiuying and the Yuan family. Yuan family was the daughter of Yuan You. In history, she gave birth to a daughter to Emperor Chongzhen in the 11th year of Chongzhen. She was awarded the title of imperial concubine. She was hacked to death when the city of Beijing was destroyed.

However, in this time and space, Concubine Yuan, accompanied by Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang, escaped from Beijing with the support of Ning Haijun, passed through Tianjin, and arrived in Liaodong. When she was in Liaodong, Concubine Yuan was depressed, but because her movements were not restricted, she Under the leadership of Zhu Weiti, he often went out to relax in Jinzhou.

Later, Concubine Yuan often drank to soothe her sorrows. By chance, Concubine Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, met Shen Mingyu. The two of them fell in love with each other and fell out of control.Cheng Shijie was speechless after cuckolding Emperor Chongzhen.What if Emperor Chongzhen knew about this?In any case, Emperor Chongzhen was kind to Cheng Shijie.

However, at this moment, Sun Zhiyi found the imperial doctor who stayed in the capital to diagnose Cheng Shijie.

"I am as strong as an ox, and I am not sick!"

"Commander, don't be shy about medical treatment. Treat illnesses early and prevent illnesses when they are not!"

Sun Zhidan was actually very worried about Cheng Shijie's physical problems. If Cheng Shijie had no problem, why were Zhu Weiti, Yang Yuniang and others not pregnant for so long?

You must know that Cheng Shijie has many wives and concubines, but the problem is that except for Cheng Jialong and Cheng Jiayue, there are no other children. For the future emperor, the children are too few. If anything goes wrong with Cheng Jialong, the consequences will be too great. It's serious.

The imperial doctor took Cheng Shijie's pulse and then looked surprised.

Sun Zhiman said: "The handsome body..."

"The handsome man is fine, but..."

"Just what..."

The imperial doctor did not dare to speak in front of Cheng Shijie, but whispered into Sun Zhiman's ear. Cheng Shijie looked at the two of them and had to run away.

……

Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong were very lucky to be locked up together without the pain of being shackled. Apart from not being able to go out, they were both free and at ease.The most shocking thing is that Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others are locked up opposite them, and everyone stares at them.

These guys are all well-known conspirators. Now that they are in trouble, they naturally feel sympathy for each other. They usually have enough to eat, and while the jailer is away, they have to exchange their inner thoughts and analyze the current situation to see how many more opportunities there are. A chance to survive.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the current situation, even if they can escape death, they will not escape the fate of being exiled to the army. This is more uncomfortable than death. However, never overestimate the intelligence of scholar-bureaucrats, just like never overestimate the intelligence of scholar-bureaucrats. Their integrity.

Wen Tiren said with a sad face: "Oh, I'm really screwed this time, totally screwed!"

Wang Yingxiong said with a stern expression, "Huh, since ancient times, I have not been able to punish a doctor, so they still dare to punish me and others?"

Wen Tiren sighed and said: "If it were someone else, this issue would be easy to discuss, but Cheng...the regent...is hard to say. You all know how barbaric he is. He doesn't care about the reputation of scholars or the comments behind his back, and he willfully Because, if he is really brave, no one can guarantee that he will not do something outrageous!"

Wang Yingxiong said in a deep voice: "Then he will just wait for the scholars in the world to fight him to the death! How have we scholars ever surrendered to swords and axes!?"

At this moment, Cheng Shijie's voice floated over: "Have you really never surrendered?"

As soon as they heard this voice, all the scholar-bureaucrats stood up in sweat with a loud bang. Wang Yingxiong had the most exaggerated reaction. He actually jumped up, then his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily with a look on his face. Pale.

Cheng Shijie has never doubted the true level of those imperial doctors. He has been a monk for more than three months. Ever since Cheng Shijie brought Cheng Jiayue to the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, he and Xiang Hui have basically had no communication.

Xiang Hui blamed herself very much for Cheng Jiayue's "death", because Cheng Jiayue suffered from hereditary heart disease, and Cheng Shijie's family had no history of heart disease, but Xiang Hui did. This made Xiang Hui put Cheng Jiayue's illness as the top priority. On his own head, Cheng Shijie tried to tell Xiang Hui the truth.

But Xiang Hui didn't believe it, thinking that Cheng Shijie was suffering from hallucinations. She felt even more guilty and avoided Cheng Shijie. Cheng Shijie couldn't even see Xiang Hui's face, let alone live as a couple, and the result was natural anger.

Based on Cheng Shijie's understanding of Sun Zhidao, he would definitely go to Zhu Weiti and try to find another beauty for Cheng Shijie. After Cheng Shijie ran out, he had nowhere to go, so he came to the prison of Jinyiwei.

While listening to Wang Yingxiong brazenly saying that Cheng Shijie did not dare to deal with their scholar-bureaucrats, Wang Yingxiong also knew that he had no ability to resist now. Even if he kowtowed to Cheng Shijie and begged for mercy, Cheng Shijie would never let him go. Wang Yingxiong glared at Cheng Shijie fiercely, his head He is high-spirited and shows no fear at all. He looks like a gentleman who is righteous and unafraid of power.

Of course, it would be perfect if his legs didn't shake so much.

Wen Tiren's complexion changes from blue to white like a chameleon. He changes colors so quickly and his expressions are so rich and sincere that even if he invited the Oscar-winning actor, his knees would probably break!
Now Wen Tiren, the former chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and a great scholar of the Qing Dynasty, could no longer shake his dignity in front of Cheng Shijie.

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan were eating brown rice with pickles when they saw Cheng Shijie coming in. He choked on a mouthful of rice and coughed violently. He almost went to see Huang Taiji.

The prisoners who were noisy at first were all frozen there as if under a spell, stretched their necks, stared, dumbfounded, unable to utter a word, the sky prison that was originally as noisy as a vegetable market could be heard, even if it was a tomb It's also more lively than here.

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "Tell me, aren't you very good at speaking? I just listened outside for a long time and thought what you said was quite interesting. Why don't you say it again?"

Now no one dared to speak.

They were talking incessantly just now, but nine out of ten were scolding Cheng Shijie for dying. How could they say it in front of him now?
Without saying that the problem cannot be solved, Cheng Shijie looked at the jailer and said, "You didn't do your job well!"

The jailer stepped forward and said: "Commander, I am humble enough to prepare to clamp their legs. I am worried that they will become disabled!"

"It's really not good to hold your legs together!"

Cheng Shijie said seriously: "Pinching legs is too cruel and inhumane. It would be good to apply some honey on the soles of their feet and let the sheep lick the soles of their feet. Let them smile proudly for a while!"

The jailer stepped forward and said: "I believe that their health is too poor and they will probably laugh until their lungs bleed and they won't live long. It's better to use waterboarding to make them pay for the pain of death."

Cheng Shijie patted the jailer on the shoulder and said: "I want to know how many evils they have committed in their lives, so let's interrogate them carefully!"

The jailer said with a ferocious look: "I understand, I understand!"
