"Back to your lord, the construction is almost complete." Chen Hong quickly took a few steps forward and said in a respectful tone.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "In accordance with the decree of the cabinet, Bi Maokang, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, is promoted to the position of General Secretary Zuo Tongzheng."

This is the position Zhu Youxiao selected for Bi Maokang. How is this position? The answer is not very good.

The General Affairs Department is a very important yamen, responsible for internal and external regulations, sealed complaints from subjects, etc. The chief officer of the General Affairs Department is the General Affairs Envoy, one of the Nine Qings, but his status is very low.

Because of the existence of the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the yamen of the General Affairs Department has no real power, and even the General Affairs Envoy has no real power, not to mention the Zuo Tongzheng of the General Affairs Department.

In the General Administration Department, there is one general officer on the left and one on the right. They are the fourth rank (they handle internal and external regulations and sealed lawsuits from subjects).

Zhu Youxiao assigned Bi Maokang to this position for a very simple reason, that is, this position is very leisurely and there is nothing much to do.

Only this kind of position is suitable for Bi Maokang, which allows him to have time to enter the palace and accompany him in Baigongyuan. If Bi Maokang is placed in the Ministry of Industry, then he will have no time.

As for power, does it look at official positions in this era? No, it looks at the close relationship between you and your leader.

The leader's secretary and driver are not high-level, who dares to look down upon him? Bi Maokang is by his side all day long, how can his power be reduced?

"Yes, I will go and deliver the order right now." Chen Hong agreed, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about money.

He must have spent a lot of money, whether it was training troops for Qi Jin or his own Baigong Academy, these were big spenders.

If you want money, where will it come from? Reform taxation? Or start a business?

Don't make trouble. I don't have the strength or the energy. I have to think of other ways.

Now I feel like I am running a company that is about to go bankrupt. If I want the company to be reborn, it needs the injection of external capital.

"Find Wei Zhongxian." Zhu Youxiao gently tapped the armrest of the wheelchair and said expressionlessly.

Wei Zhongxian quickly walked in from outside.

These days, he has been keeping an eye on the Third Law Division. The case to frame Xiong Tingbi has come to a standstill. In other words, his strategy is going very smoothly, because several people from the Third Law Division have all retracted their confessions. With these people

The matter became even more embarrassing when he retracted his confession.

"Slave, please see your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Youxiao respectfully, with excitement in his tone.

Glancing at Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "How is the progress at the Sanfa Division?"

"Back to the Emperor, there is no progress at the Sanfa Department." Wei Zhongxian said quickly: "Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and others all recanted their confessions, and Li Ruzhen also recanted his confession. According to Li Ruzhen's confession, he did not bribe anyone, and they were all slaves.

Framed and framed."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then continued to ask: "What did Yang Lian say?"

"Go back to your Majesty, there seems to be nothing we can do about Master Yang." When Wei Zhongxian said this, he raised his head and said cautiously.

"Come here." Zhu Youxiao called out expressionlessly.

Chen Hong hurriedly ran in from outside: "My slave is here."

"Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and tell Yang Lian that I will only give him half a month. If he still can't come up with a result after half a month, then I will replace him." As he said this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and picked up the cup.

He took a sip from the teacup and said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Chen Hong turned around and ran out again. He was now a full-time errand boy.

Glancing at Wei Zhongxian standing on one side, Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Zhu Tongmeng?"

Zhu Tongmeng is actually a very interesting person. In the Xiong Tingbi case, he helped the Donglin Party because he was the one who went to Liaodong to review Xiong Tingbi's achievements. At that time, Zhu Tongmeng was in charge of the military affairs department.

When Zhu Tongmeng came back and presented the memorial, he comprehensively stated Xiong Tingbi's achievements, saying that the people of Liaodong praised him with tears, and that hundreds of thousands of lives were saved because of Tingbi alone.

At the end, Zhu Tongmeng said how brave Xiong Tingbi was when the enemy attacked Shenyang during the Battle of Puhe. He drove his horse to rescue him. When he saw the cowardice of the officers and soldiers, he suddenly resigned and returned home, thus putting the emperor's great kindness to him at a disadvantage. Where is it?

In fact, Xiong Tingbi's resignation was not due to the impeachment of Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and others. The censor Zhang Xiude impeached him for destroying Liaoyang. Xiong Tingbi became even more angry and wrote another confession. He even said, "The situation in Liao has turned out to be safe, but as a minister, I have to rely on it." Life leads to death."

He wrote a letter to defend himself and requested to be dismissed from office and return to his hometown. To put it bluntly, this was to show his true feelings.

When it came to Zhu Tongmeng's mouth, it was different. It all became Xiong Tingbi's fault.

It seemed that Zhu Tongmeng was a Donglin Party member, but he offended the Donglin Party members by impeaching Zou Yuanbiao, the constitutional official, and Feng Congwu built the "Shou Shan Academy", and was directly dismissed from office.

It was not until the fourth year of Tianqi that the Donglin Party was defeated. Wei Zhongxian recalled Zhu Tongmeng, and Guo Yunhou became the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple. He was soon promoted to the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was favored by Jiujing.

After Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he executed Wei Zhongxian and purged the eunuchs. Zhu Tongmeng was included in the counter-case and he was eventually identified as an eunuch. The main evidence was that Zhu Tongmeng had built a birth shrine for Wei Zhongxian beyond the specifications.

It can be seen that this person is a contradiction.

However, there are many such things, that is, many people were excluded and suppressed by the Donglin Party, and then resolutely threw themselves into the arms of the Eunuch Party.

The Donglin Party was too exclusive, and it directly forced many people to become eunuchs. Zhu Tongmeng was one of them.

This person is a character that Zhu Youxiao wants to use.

"What happened to Zhu Tongmeng in the Military Department?" Wei Zhongxian asked quickly. I don't know what your Majesty meant when he mentioned this Zhu Tongmeng.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's him. This is his question book. Take a look."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and quickly took the question book over and took a look.

This is an impeachment title book. The content is very simple, that is, it is to impeach Zou Yuanbiao and others for establishing Shoushan Academy.

Wei Zhongxian read the question book twice and still didn't see any problem in it, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Your Majesty, I think what Zhu Tongmeng said makes sense!" Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, bowed and said, "The Song Dynasty died because of his lectures, so he should be severely punished."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and sighed in his heart. No wonder Wei Zhongxian was able to reach nine thousand years old. His sensitivity and determination alone were remarkable.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: "You think so, but what do the people in the world think? What do those civil servants think?"
