Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei
Chapter 178: rewarded and punished
In the first year of Chongzhen, the war that almost shook the country's fortunes, Li Xiu's sudden emergence, saving the country from danger, seemed to make the political system that had been stable for dozens of hundreds of years tend to collapse.
And all this is far from over.
With the power of great victory, and then pressing down with righteousness, a play called reward for merit and punishment for wrongdoing is also gradually appearing on the stage.
It was only a day after the ceremony to present the prisoners, and before Li Xiu took office in the Beijing camp, Zhu Youjian couldn't wait to stage the scene.
Those who criticized Li Xiu's post-war gold theory before the war, those who opposed the transfer of the Yongwei Camp back to the capital, and even all the corruption that was completely torn from the fig leaf during the capital crisis!
This storm that affected the entire court was also completely kicked off.
What is Gan Gang arbitrary, what is the prestige of the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Youjian really realized it.
The courtiers who once restrained and oppressed him so breathlessly, now, let him knead without the slightest resistance.
Zhu Youjian is very confident!
Unprecedented feet!
As Li Xiu said, now, now, is the best time.
The military power is prosperous, and the civil servants and honorable groups also suffered an unprecedented blow in this battle, and fell into a rare window period.
And he, Zhu Youjian, Li Xiu, Yongweiying, this monstrous victory, and the highest point of etiquette, morality and righteousness!
The time is right and the place is right for the people. At this moment, he has everything under his control. How could he miss such a great opportunity!
In a storm, I don't know how many important officials who used to be glorious in the past were sacked, and there were also many worthy users who Zhu Youjian observed for a long time were promoted.
Zhu Youjian did not have any intention of treating literati and officials. Those who committed serious crimes would all be raided and annihilated. Under the absolute confidence, Zhu Youjian did not show any sympathy.
All of this, Li Xiu also never really participated in it, watching silently from the outside, and at the same time deterring any evildoers.
This can be regarded as the tacit understanding between him and Zhu Youjian.
He leads the army and gives Zhu Youjian the confidence to ignore the rules.
Zhu Youjian took charge of the government and released his dream of ruling the country, bringing peace to the world, and rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty.
Just like the storm that swept the entire court, before the start, Li Xiu issued an order in the name of the Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Office to transfer the entire Jingying army to the outskirts of the capital.
At the same time, in the name of the whole army, they dispatched a battalion of infantry troops from the Yongwei Battalion to be stationed beside the Jingying army. Its real purpose is already obvious.
Losing the only power that the capital can rely on at present, whether it is a civil servant or an honorable person, it is just like the meat on Zhu Youjian's case board.
This storm lasted for nearly half a month. Whether it was the so-called Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, they all suffered heavy losses.
And in this storm, the biggest movement was the 9,000-year-old who continued the majesty of the two dynasties... Wei Zhongxian's exit.
At the beginning of December of the first year of Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian petitioned to resign as the **** in charge of Yin and Li Jian.
The emperor refused to allow him, and Wei Zhongxian resigned again. After doing this three times, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, and allowed him to retire and return to his hometown to take care of his old age.
Of course, this is not a hype, but a real fact.
After all, neither Zhu Youjian nor Li Xiu included Wei Zhongxian as the target of the purge of the court.
After all, although Wei Zhongxian had a very bad reputation and even had some illegal acts, when Zhu Youjian became lonely, he took the initiative to cooperate many times, and even formed a tacit understanding with Zhu Youjian. Start again, check and balance the phenomenon of Donglin.
And this kind of tacit understanding, once formed, is undoubtedly a new master for an eunuch.
Zhu Youjian obviously used Wei Zhongxian quite well. Moreover, under Li Xiu's suggestion, there was still a lot of dirty work to be done by Wei Zhongxian, and it was far from the time when he needed to kill Wei Zhongxian to calm his anger.
But now, Wei Zhongxian also obviously realized that he was already in trouble, and his so-called **** forces were already vulnerable under the current general trend.
In this way, trying to protect himself naturally became his first thought.
For this reason, Wei Zhongxian is decisive enough!
He actually went to Zhu Youjian directly, pleaded guilty to the law, and voluntarily donated all his family property, nearly one million taels of silver and tens of thousands of taels of gold.
There is no doubt that Wei Zhongxian is gambling.
But obviously, this time, he won the bet.
His life, at least for now, still matters.
He can retire, but he cannot die under the law,
He retired, even if the **** party collapsed, but the people were still there. In the face of the emperor's obvious dislike of Donglin, they would naturally condense into another group, or even move closer to the emperor and become the voice of the emperor.
But if he died under the dharma, he would definitely be bitten by Donglin, pulling out the radish and taking out the mud. At that time, it would not be him, Zhu Youjian, who would benefit.
In this way, after devoting all the so-called family property, the nine thousand years old of the two dynasties also retired peacefully, retired and returned to their hometown, and took care of their longevity.
It is worth mentioning that this Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to visit Zhenbeihou Mansion before he left.
The 9,000-year-old who used to be famous, is now humbled in the Hou Mansion, just like the old man who can be seen everywhere on the street.
"These are some of the old slave's thoughts. Lord Hou is the backbone of the country, so it is inconvenient. The old slave's hands are dirty, so it is convenient to do things."
"So, thank you very much."
Li Xiu glanced at the strategy book in the wooden box, raised his brows, looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was respectful in front of him, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to return to your hometown to take care of you, this is a good thing, and I congratulate you here. Father-in-law, you have a smooth journey."
"Then borrow Hou Ye Ji's words..."
Seeing that Li Xiu accepted this gift, Wei Zhongxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor had done it, the Marquis of Zhenbei had also stabilized, and he was safe!
Watching Wei Zhongxian leave, Li Xiu turned his gaze to the large wooden box in front of him.
"It's really hard work!"
Looking at the volume of martial arts cheats in the Qi realm in the box, the very conspicuous signs of each sect, it is obvious that these martial arts cheats are from all major factions in the world!
In this way, it relieves some of Li Xiu's concerns. After all, he has also had such an idea, but it has not been implemented yet.
As for whether the Jianghu sect would obediently take orders and offer the most precious secrets in the door, Li Xiu never thought about this.
The so-called chivalrous person is banned by martial arts. In most cases, this chivalrous person will not include those big sects of the rivers and lakes. Basically, they are lone rangers who fight alone.
And the big sect of Jianghu, as the saying goes, if the monk can run away from the temple, the more famous the big sect in Jianghu, the more scruples, and the easier it is to bend over in front of the power of the court.
As for the lawless Jianghu sects in the novels of the previous life, in Li Xiu's view, it may be because the existence of martial arts must be a qualitative improvement over the martial arts of this era, and has reached a certain level of deterrence, otherwise , has long been exterminated by the imperial court.
"Master Hou, I just sent another invitation."
Wang Wu came over, took a few invitations, and reported in a low voice.
"Just saying that Ben Hou is busy with military affairs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will all refuse to resign."
Li Xiu waved his hand, and then waved to Zhao Wu, the commander of the personal guard who had been waiting for a long time.
The guards came over immediately and respectfully handed over a booklet.
"General, these are these days. The list of personnel entering and leaving the Beijing camp, as well as the soldiers and generals they contacted, are also recorded on it..."
"Is there any change in Jingying?"
Li Xiu flipped through the booklet and asked casually.
"In the past few days, the generals of the Beijing camp have gathered to discuss the situation. It's quite secretive, and the brothers below can't inquire about the situation."
"A group of cowards, no matter how much they negotiate, they can't get any results. The destined fate, Ben Hou can make them change their fate against the sky!"
With a sneer, Li repaired his python robe and said with a smile:
"Get ready, after watching the show for so long, it's Ben Hou's turn to appear!"
