Chapter 86 I want to reprimand him

Li Yan never imagined that the imperial envoy was serious about it.

Ever since, in the whole Mizhi County, a large number of people, like cattle and sheep, were driven to migrate out of the town with great reluctance.

The ferocious guards began to search from house to house, and as long as they saw someone who was unwilling to migrate, no matter men, women, old or young, regardless of their status, they would take them away forcibly.

If you encounter someone with a tough attitude, or even use force to resist, then I'm sorry, there are three thousand battalions behind us, let's see who can be tougher than whom!

The temporary camp on the outskirts of Mizhi County is like a huge prison. Countless people, like refugees, are forced to fill this small camp, and there are complaints everywhere.

…………

It was also snowing in the capital, and the snowflakes were like goose feathers, icy cold, floating on the ground.

Although Zhu Qizhen didn't go to court, he was very busy every day.

Xishan Cement Workshop, Wanggong Factory Firearms Workshop, and the construction site of Martyr's Shrine, they circle around these places almost every day.

The cement workshop is progressing most smoothly, with a daily output of [-] jin, and this output is still increasing.

Li Shulin is in charge of the Wang Gong Factory, who has recruited a large number of skilled craftsmen from all over the country. They are divided into several groups such as cast iron forging, explosive bombs, and granular gunpowder. Each group specializes in a topic. At present, the progress is relatively slow.

Because the things Wang Gongchang researched were too powerful, Zhu Qizhen had ordered him to move out of the capital, and even moved to Xishan.

The martyrs' shrine is also progressing relatively smoothly. The design drawings that Lu Xiang originally got were reinforced concrete structures. However, pig iron is a strategic resource in this era, and it is too extravagant to use it to build a house. So bamboo strips were used instead of steel bars to make the skeleton. Then it was poured with a mixture of cement, gravel and sand, and the effect was not bad.

Judging from the current progress, it will be completed in the first year and put into use in the next year.

It was getting late, and Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace from the construction site of the Martyr's Shrine. Huai En stepped forward to report that Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yi, and Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had been waiting for a long time.

"Let them wait in the royal study!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen washed his face, changed his clothes, and came to the imperial study.

"My minister Zhu Qiyu kowtows to see my emperor, long live!"

"Your minister Cao Nai kowtows to see my emperor, long live!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "The two Qing families are free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What's the matter waiting for me so late?"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Nai took out a memorial and said, "This is an urgent memorial from the Yulin Mansion to impeach Qin Tianjian Beilin for abusing the people of Mizhi County. Countless soldiers and civilians were killed in the freezing snow. Driving them out of the city is even more brutal than the Oirats."

Zhu Qizhen silently counted the time in his heart. It has been ten days since Beilin set off. He said that there will be earthquakes in seven or eight days. Why does it feel unreliable...

Zhu Qiyu then said: "According to the report, three people died of freezing on the first day, and hundreds of people were injured. If we let it continue, we don't know how many people will suffer from it."

"This Beilen is really daring!"

Zhu Qizhen patted the table and said: "I just asked him to go to warn the police. I didn't expect this person to act so recklessly and meddle in local affairs. When he returns to Beijing, I will definitely reprimand him again!"

Zhu Qiyu and Cao Nai looked at each other, thinking to themselves, is this a matter of reprimand?

There is already a lot of anger and complaints over there, brother, he took your Zhongzhi to go, and now something happened, you should call him back!

"The two Qing families go back first, I will deal with this matter myself."

Cao Nai couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the report from the Yulin Mansion was transferred from the Ministry of Officials. Someone will impeach him tomorrow morning, I'm afraid..."

"I know!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, maybe Bei Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so let's come forward.

I just hope this guy doesn't fool himself...

Cao Nai shook his head helplessly, and said, "I will leave."

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything else, bowed and saluted, and then left with Cao Nai.

When the two came to the cabinet, the others had already left their duties, and only one clerk was still on duty. When he saw King Ying, he hurriedly poured tea.

Cao Nai first sighed, and said: "The emperor listens and trusts, and let that Belin to toss, if this continues, there will be complaints, what should I do?"

"The king has also communicated with the emperor about this matter. Belin is going to save people, but the means are a bit extreme."

"Saving people?" Cao Nai shook his head and said, "Only relying on a false prophecy, people go to torment the soldiers and civilians, and make people leave their homes under the banner of saving people and righteousness?"

The ancients valued the country, and if they were not forced by people with knives, no one would leave home unless it was a last resort. Zhu Qiyu can almost imagine how many cruel and heinous actions Bellin and the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion have performed. means.

"Things have already happened, and it's meaningless for me to complain here. I'd better think about how to deal with it tomorrow morning. At that time, someone will inevitably go to court for impeachment. If people with ulterior motives take advantage of this to create rumors, things will be difficult to handle. "

After the two of them finished speaking, they were silent for a long time before Cao Nai said again: "I just don't understand, why does the emperor trust so much that there is an earthquake in the northwest? After all, there is no certainty in this world, otherwise it would be too simple to govern the world. That's all, the matter has come to this point, this mess can only be left to us to clean up."

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qizhen reluctantly got up early.

According to the time of later generations, it is only four o'clock in the morning, so getting up at this time is simply unreasonable.

Even if you don't let you sleep late, what's the point of being an emperor...

In fact, civil and military officials are even more difficult, they have to get up at three o'clock, and they are already waiting outside the Meridian Gate.

If it was summer, it would be fine, but now it is winter, and it is snowing. Those who can afford it will bring a charcoal stove, and those who can't can only shiver in the sedan chair.

Especially those officials and censors, even if they are rich, they can't show it, because they position themselves as clean streams, so they have to show a clean attitude.

However, it was really too cold.

The more these people thought about it, the more angry they became, and the resentment in their hearts could not help but increase a bit. When they got to the hall, they would definitely impeach a few people and show their anger.

At Maoshi, drums sounded from the city tower, and the gate of the palace opened.

Under the leadership of Zhu Qiyu, the king of Ying, all the officials entered in turn, crossed the Jinshui bridge and formed a team in the square.

This process is extremely strict. If any of the officials cough, spit or walk unsteadily, they will be recorded by the censor in charge of the picketing and wait to be dealt with.

When they came to Fengtian Temple, all the officials lined up according to their grades. First, the officials from Honglu Temple went out to report the number of people who went to court, and the number of officials who entered Beijing to thank them and leave Beijing to resign. Then, the morning court officially began.

 Recently, the progress of the plot has been slow, it can be regarded as a smooth transition, and it is not on the list now, it can be raised properly, let me disclose it in advance, there will be a new plot when it is roughly 20 words
