Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, and Du Yinxi walked and quietly entered the capital to meet him. He left Beijing and went to Liao without raising the noisy and prosperous capital. Any ripples.

These pioneers of the local disaster relief administration, with the expectations of Emperor Chongzhen, will go to a brand new battlefield. As for what achievements can be achieved and which ones can continue firmly, even Emperor Chongzhen does not know, but the people among them , As long as there is someone who sticks to his original intention, the situation facing western Liaoning will change.

dawn.

The rising sun dispels the darkness that is shrouded in it.

The peace of the Ganqing Palace was broken.

At the end of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor summoned the cabinet, the Censorate, the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office, the Sixth Ministry and other officials to summon the court officials.

The chief assistant Han Yu, the second assistant Wen Tiren, the group assistant Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, Zhou Daodeng, He Rutong, Qian Xiangkun, Wu Zongda, Zhou Yanru and other court officials were ordered to meet.

"I'll pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon throne, looking around the ministers in the hall with a serious expression. This time he summoned the ministers and court officials, and he wanted to do something.

To seek reforms that the Ming Dynasty has secretly implemented, a comprehensive investigation was launched under the rule of the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty to fill some holes in the local area.

"After Zhou Qing took office as the cabinet, he was in charge of the new regulations on officials, and with the cooperation of the Censorate, a group of corrupt officials were found in the court."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were cold and fierce. He picked up a few memorials and said loudly: "I have never thought that it is really shocking to have so many things hidden in this dynasty.

As for the matter of fire consumption, I found out that there were no less than 2 million taels of tax silver. After I learned about these situations, I could not sleep or eat.

If this batch of stolen silver was not secretly kept by those corrupt officials, but was allowed to be collected by the court normally, then why did you need to pay Liao pay to the people of the Ming Dynasty because of the empty treasury?"

The hall is very quiet.

Han Yu, Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru and others showed different expressions, especially Zhou Yanru who was named, who was unconcealed with excitement.

It seems that the emperor has seen and kept everything he did before. If the emperor values ​​it so much, it will not be difficult for him to go further in the future.

"Biqing, I want to ask you, how much food and salary will be spent in the country due to disaster relief in various places during these ten years?"

Looking at the reactions of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were frozen on Bi Ziyan, "In these disasters where the food and wages were allocated by the state, how many people have caused chaos even though they have made every effort to provide disaster relief?

Since the late Wanli Dynasty, disasters encountered in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have increased year by year. This is not a small matter. If it is not taken seriously, then the country in the Ming Dynasty will never be stable."

Emperor Chongzhen gradually controlled the situation and actually controlled many military powers. The changes in the court were also quietly implemented, and he wanted to gradually become stronger.

The Ming Dynasty needed a powerful emperor.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Bi Ziyan looked serious and went up to bow and said, "According to my rough estimates, the food and food allocated by the state government alone has been no less than 17 million taels in the past ten years, even higher than that.

To find out the specific amount, you need to retrieve the corresponding documents and conduct actual accounting.

Moreover, in the past decade, the disaster relief caused by the state and the dynasty's intervention, causing chaos among all the people, with no less than 50 cases involving many areas under the Ming Dynasty."

Facing the Emperor's inquiry, Bi Ziyan had no choice but to report according to the actual situation. Han Du, Wen Tiren, Xu Guangqi and other cabinet ministers had different ideas about the Emperor's inquiry.

They didn't know what it was for today's son to summon the cabinet, the Censorate, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Sixth Ministry and other departments to accept the summons in the Ganqing Palace.

After all, the core idea of ​​summoning the right one has not been explained.

However, intuition tells them that things are definitely not simple.

"In the past ten years, the food and salary for disaster relief has been allocated by the State and the State to provide disaster relief."

Emperor Chongzhen looked around the ministers in the hall and said loudly: "Even with the intervention of the state, it is impossible to ensure that the disaster is affected, and the people are in chaos.

But in the past year, from the special disaster relief administration in the two places, can you tell me how much food and money they have used for disaster relief?

1.5 million taels!

!

It can be seen from this that in the past ten years, many officials have been working hard to commit corruption and abuse of power and gaining personal gain.

Previously, disasters occurred in northern Zhili and Shandong. I ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Keli to establish local disaster relief administrations one after another. The disasters they faced were also very serious."

Since Emperor Chongzhen set up special military offices, disaster relief offices, and other offices in the court, it has caused a lot of opposition and controversy in the court. Even so, the same is true until now. When dealing with these situations, Emperor Chongzhen took The attitude is clear and simple.

Ignore it.

It is not easy to arrange a group of pragmatic and hardworking ministers in the right position and ask them to achieve their due results.

If he, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, cannot support them in the future and ask them to bear all kinds of difficulties and suppression, then who will do things for him?

"Your Majesty, I request that the Chief Censorate be the leader to conduct corresponding reviews on fire consumption, disaster relief and other matters over the years."

Wen Tiren heard this and knew what the emperor meant. After looking at Zhou Yanru, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "If you can't find out these things thoroughly, then the court would not know how many books there are in the invisible place. The food and wages that should be collected from the national treasury, including the food and wages that should be implemented, were corrupted by a group of corrupt officials."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Zhou Yanru, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi and others came forward to express their attitude, but they discussed Wen Tiren, but what they thought was different.

Like Zhou Yanru, it was purely for the career of the officialdom.

As for Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi are much purer.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be discussed for a long time."

Han Yu's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward and bowed, "If the court draws the Censorate and other ministers to various places in the Ming Dynasty to carry out corresponding reviews, it may have an impact on local stability.

Now the situation in Liaodong is beginning to stabilize and the rebellion in Shaanxi is beginning to settle. If there are any turmoil in the local area, the situation that the court finally stabilizes will be in chaos again, which is not a good thing for the court and the people."

Seeing Han Yu like this, Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "With Han Qing's words, even if the court knows these harsh policies and bad debts, can it be enough to endure them?"
