Chapter 91 Completion of Martyr's Shrine

New Year's Eve is approaching, and snowflakes are falling in the northern land again.

"Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian Beilin begs to see you!"

"Belin is back?" Zhu Qizhen raised his head with a happy expression on his face, "Hurry up and announce!"

This trip to northern Shaanxi can be said to save thousands of people from the fire and water, which made everyone look at each other with admiration.

Not long after, Beilin and Li Zhen walked into the imperial study together.

"Chen Beilin kowtows to the emperor!"

"My subject, Li Zhen, kowtows to the emperor!"

"You two gentlemen, please come up!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said: "Very good, very good! Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion and every prefecture and county have sent memorials to write about the merits of the two Qing families. Especially in Suide Prefecture and Mizhi County, the local gentry also presented Wanmin Books, and they regarded you as living gods!"

"The emperor's absurd praise, I really don't dare to be a humble minister!"

Belin seemed a little embarrassed. This person was upright by nature, and belonged to the kind who couldn't wait for the dawn of revenge, but she couldn't bear boasting, and she would blush when praised.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Li Shimian has retired and returned to his hometown, and the position of supervisor is vacant. I intend to let the Qing family be in charge of the Qintian Supervisor. How about it?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Unexpectedly, when Belin heard that she was going to be promoted, she didn't have any joy on her face, but instead had a dignified expression.

Zhu Qizhen thought he had some concerns, so he asked, "Don't worry about the Qing family, I will help you solve those old stubborn ones!"

"I don't mean that!"

Bei Lin thought for a while, and said: "If the emperor intends to reform the Qin Tianjian, I have the courage to recommend someone!"

"Oh, who is it?"

"Peng Qing, former deputy supervisor!"

"Peng Qing?"

Zhu Qizhen had no impression of this person, so he asked, "What talent does this person have?"

"Reporting to the emperor, these trivial skills of this humble minister are all learned from Deputy Supervisor Peng."

Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up, and he said: "In this case, Huai En, call Peng Qing to the palace!"

"Your Majesty..." Huai En said with a wry smile, "Peng Qing is... in Zhao Prison..."

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "What's the situation?"

Huai En had no choice but to explain: "This Peng Qing has some personal friendship with Wang Zhen, and he is designated as Wang Zhen's party. The slaves heard that they will be exiled to Lingnan soon."

"You are wronged, Your Majesty!"

Beilin bowed down and said excitedly: "Deputy Peng Jian and Wang Zhen are only on official business, not personal relationship. There are many people who know about it, so the emperor can send someone to investigate."

"I remembered!"

Zhu Qizhen showed a look of guilt, nodded and said: "It seems that there is such a thing. I am ashamed to say that it is because I listened and believed, wronged Zhongliang, Huai En!"

"The servant is here!"

"I passed on the word of mouth that Peng Qing, the Qintian supervisor, had no merit or demerit, and ordered him to be the supervisor, and Bei Lin as the deputy supervisor, and let the cabinet draft an order. As for how to clear Peng Qing's suspicion, leave it to Yuan Bin to handle!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wynn didn't dare to say a word. Now Belin is a celebrity in front of the emperor. With just one word from her, Peng Qing immediately reinstated the official and promoted her to a higher level without going through the factory guard's inspection.

Belin was very moved, and wept with joy: "My humble servant thanks you for your grace!"

"In the future, the Qing family will assist Peng Qing in managing the Qin Tianjian. If you want to make some achievements, don't learn from those people before and use some empty words to fool me. If something really happens, no one can be counted on! "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Zhen again, and asked, "Ha Ming is back?"

Li Zhen replied: "Go back to the emperor, Ha Ming and the soldiers will stay in the outskirts."

"You let him enter the palace tomorrow, when the time comes you will come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Yes!"

The two bowed and took their leave. Not long after, there was another news that the two troops who went to the south to suppress the rebellion returned to Beijing.

The coaches of these two teams are Hou Chen Mao of Ningyang and Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

In the autumn of the 13th year of Zhengtong, Deng Maoqi in Fujian led an uprising, and it became more and more violent.The imperial court sent Chen Mao to lead the expedition to Fujian to suppress the rebellion.This is the most capable fighter in the Ming Dynasty except for the British Duke Zhang Mao. If he had stayed in the capital and followed the emperor's personal expedition, the result is still unknown.

In the spring of the 14th year of Zhengtong, Ye Zong, a traitor in Chuzhou, caused a rebellion, and Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, took command to quell the rebellion.

Zhu Qizhen still couldn't figure it out, why did the imperial court send the minister of the Ministry of Industry to be in command when so many meritorious deeds were left unused?
It wasn't until Shi Pu returned to the court that he realized that it was a pity for this eldest brother to become the Minister of Industry. A 1.9-meter-long man with dark skin, a full face, and a beard, he didn't need makeup at all to play Li Kui.

When Chen Mao and Shi Pu were summoned, another news came that the main building of the Martyr's Shrine had been completed and was undergoing exterior decoration, and it would be put into use after a year.

Zhu Qizhen was very happy, and immediately summoned all the officials to visit the Martyr's Shrine.

Under the escort of the forbidden army, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came to Chengtianmen in mighty force.

Although they knew that the imperial court was building large-scale projects here, when all the officials came to the Martyr's Shrine, they were all shocked by the sight in front of them.

What caught the eye was a vermilion lacquered gate, in front of which stood a pair of huge stone lions, which seemed to be carved from a whole piece of gray rock.

"Where did this rock come from? It doesn't have any variegated color. It's really strange!"

"Yeah, I just took a closer look. The whole rock is one piece, without a single crack."

"It looks like the limestone of Xishan, but it's so huge, how did it get here?"

While discussing, everyone continued to move forward.

Entering the gate, there is a spacious yard.

Many trees have been transplanted in the yard, all of which are big trees with their branches and leaves cut off. Although they look a little bare now, it is foreseeable that when spring comes next year, the branches will sprout, and they will soon grow into big trees, covering most of them with green shade. yard.

Passing through the straight passage, you will see a majestic hall.

The glazed tiles on the main hall are shining with light, and the thick pillars are dyed dark red. When you enter the main hall, there is a huge stone tablet with five big characters "Da Ming Zhong Lie Shrine" written on it.

Various battle scenes are engraved on the walls of the hall, which are no strangers to these well-educated officials of the Ming Dynasty. The battle of the civil castle is vividly portrayed.

Looking at the majestic hall, a sense of solemnity emerges spontaneously, and one can't help admiring the soldiers who fought bloody for the Ming Dynasty.

Bypassing the stele of the main hall and entering the apse, there are rows of white marble walls engraved with the names of loyal soldiers who died in battle since the Ming Dynasty.

It was an eye-opener for everyone to visit around the Martyr's Shrine, especially Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, grinning and having fun all the way.

I didn't expect to go out to fight a war and build such a big project at home, it's beautiful!

Lu Xiang, the left servant, really gave the Minister of Industry a face!

After everyone was shocked, they couldn't help wondering, how did the Ministry of Industry complete the construction of the Martyr's Shrine in just three months?

For such a large-scale building, according to past experience, in such a short period of time, let alone construction, it is difficult to gather the bricks, stones and wood materials needed for construction.

Moreover, it seems that there is no wooden structure in the entire Martyrs' Shrine.

Zhu Qizhen also saw the confusion on everyone's faces, so he waved to the left servant Lu Xiang and the village uncle Chen Huai.

Lu Xiang and Chen Huai got the instruction, they came forward and began to explain the new pouring method to everyone.

Looking at the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the mural wall, Zhu Qizhen secretly sighed in his heart, the blood of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty cannot be shed in vain, first, just wait for me!
If I don't beat you out this time, you'll be fine!
