Chapter 37 The Emperor's Mind (Part 2)
"Sun Qing, Duke Cheng is here to stay. The rest of the Qing family should go about their own errands."
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looked at Sun Chengzong and the others, and said calmly: "The military affairs of Xuanfu Town, Miyun and other places must be sorted out as soon as possible.
In addition, the Military Aircraft Department needs to draw up a charter. If there are rebels coming to Beijing for reinforcements, how they will be divided and how they will be dispatched. Don't let rebels come and cause trouble again. Wang Qing will take charge of this matter."
"I will accept the order."
Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru and others immediately responded with their hands, and then left the place and returned to their respective positions, ready to continue their work.
"Da da da."
Sun Chengzong and Zhu Chunchen, who were waiting, listened to the sound of Emperor Chongzhen knocking on the dragon case, but they had different emotions in their hearts. At this moment, they didn't know what the emperor was going to say next.
"Sun Qing, please bring me the memorial drafted by the Governor of the Imperial Guard and ask me to take a look."
Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward and said calmly, then picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip, and chewed the tea leaves in his mouth.
"I accept the decree."
Sun Chengzong respectfully handed the memorial he had just received to Emperor Chongzhen. Zhu Chunchen, who was standing aside, became uneasy, fearing that the emperor would ask him something again.
"Sun Qing, I remember you told me yesterday that you wanted to mobilize troops from Xuanfu Town, Miyun and other places, but the court still lacks one million taels of silver, plus one hundred thousand shi of military rations?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand and said to Sun Chengzong.
Um?
Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment. When had he ever said this?
No, this is the emperor who wants to ask Zhu Chunchen and others for money and food in exchange for the appointment of the governor of the capital!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sun Chengzong cupped his hands and said: "Other places are easy to say, but Xuanfu Town, Miyun and other places are some distance away from Shenjing. Once the above-mentioned reinforcements arrive in Beijing and fight against Jianlu in the future, the imperial court must solve the problem of money and food.
.”
"Um."
Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at Zhu Chunchen, whose expression changed slightly, and said, "Have you sent someone to convey the news about the Qing family, the descendants of all the distinguished relatives, and the advance guard of the army?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, I have conveyed it."
Zhu Chunchen hurriedly handed over his hands and replied: "Tomorrow at the latest, all the descendants of the right age will go to the front guard of the government army to report and wait for your Majesty's dispatch."
When Emperor Chongzhen took over the capital of the capital, he wanted to replace the foreign dynasties and break away from the control of the capital. Zhang Weixian successfully organized the camp in Beijing, and it was inevitable that he would take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits.
In addition to the fact that the descendants of Xunqi have joined the vanguard of the government army and acted as protons, speaking of the same, they also have a future, which is not a benefit.
After all, only they themselves know best how much food and salary they have embezzled in Beijing Camp over the years.
"The Qing family is doing well."
Emperor Chongzhen drawled a long note, knocked on the dragon case, and said to Zhu Chunchen: "But the Qing family knows that Li Qing gave me a secret report before to organize the affairs of the capital.
However, considering the seriousness of the matter, I never spoke out about it. I originally thought of letting it go, but the Qing family also knows the current difficulties facing the court.
The Qing family has also seen what kind of attitude the ministers in the foreign court showed towards the Jingwei Governor's Mansion. If this matter spreads, I'm afraid..."
"Your Majesty, the country is currently being invaded by Jianjun. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I should share the worries of the country."
Zhu Chunchen looked serious, bowed his hands to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "I will summon the people from the capital governor's office in a moment to share the worries of the imperial court. Please allow your Majesty's permission."
"The Qing family are truly our loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty!"
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked forward quickly, held Zhu Chunchen's arms, and said: "I have the Qing family to help me. I am really lucky, and the Ming Dynasty is lucky!"
"I am terrified!"
Zhu Chunchen hurriedly lowered his head and said.
Sun Chengzong, who saw this scene, was filled with emotion at the moment. The emperor was indeed a wise king. With just a few words, he was able to settle a million taels of silver and a hundred thousand shi of food.
"Sun Qing, the memorial submitted by the Governor of the Capital City must be handled as soon as possible."
Emperor Chongzhen turned around at this time, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Send another person to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies and prepare a place in Xiyuan. I want all the troops in the vanguard of the government army to go to Xiyuan to practice and create a new Xiyuan."
military!
In the future, whether it is the capital governor's office or the capital camp, the generals that are lacking will be selected first from the Xiyuan New Army."
"I accept the decree!"
Sun Chengzong hurriedly raised his hands and responded.
Zhu Chunchen, who was supported by Emperor Chongzhen's arms, was full of emotion and awe at this moment. The emperor was beating us.
It seems that the emperor was fully aware of what he had done in the capital camp before, but he had not found a suitable opportunity, so he tolerated it.
Zhu Chunchen wanted to understand this, even if he no longer wanted to take the initiative to pay for money, but when he thought of the emperor's previous performance, a chill came from the bottom of his heart.
Even when the ministers in the court jointly advised them, the emperor never backed down even a step. So why would the emperor take them seriously when they first came to power?
Trading money for the future of his own heirs was the only reason Zhu Chunchen could convince his relatives.
"Your Majesty, I will retire first and deal with the affairs of the Jingwei Governor's Mansion." Zhu Chunchen, who had thought clearly about this, hurriedly raised his hands and said.
"good."
Emperor Chongzhen patted Zhu Chunchen on the shoulder and said: "It is up to the Qing family to organize the affairs of the capital governor's office. If they are to be handled well, each guard station is short of troops. We can wait until the country is stabilized before discussing."
"I accept the decree."
Zhu Chunchen responded hurriedly, and then respectfully left the main hall of the military aircraft.
"Sun Qing, do you think I am worthy of being reused?" Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing there as he watched Zhu Chunchen leave, said to Sun Chengzong.
"Screening is required."
Sun Chengzong's brief words were shocking.
"Yes, it needs to be screened."
Emperor Chongzhen sighed with emotion: "But now is not the time, so let's do this for now. When I defeat Jianlu, the court will also change."
Sun Qing, go and do your work."
"I accept the decree!"
He suppressed the frightened Sun Chengzong and hurriedly raised his hands in response.
The honorable relatives of the Ming Dynasty, there are good and bad things in them, just like the civil servants in the court, there are also good and bad things, one-size-fits-all cannot be done.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
In the court of the Ming Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible to absolutely prohibit party strife and power schemes.
It is unrealistic no matter how you think about the ecology that has been maintained for such a long time suddenly and completely changed.
But the bunch of moths who are greedy for my money must be eradicated one by one. There is no doubt about this.
I remember when the courier boy led a group of bandits into the capital and tortured them, and they made tens of millions of taels of silver.
This minister of the Ming Dynasty was actually much richer than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
