In this war in the first year of Chongzhen, which almost made the country's fortune scattered, Li Xiu's sudden emergence and saving the country from danger seemed to have caused the government system that had been stable for dozens or hundreds of years to collapse.
And all this is far from over.
With the power of great victory and with great righteousness, a play called rewarding merits and punishments gradually took the stage.
The ceremony of prisoner offering ended only a day. Before Li Xiu had even gone to the Beijing camp, Zhu Youjian couldn't wait to show the scene.
Before the war, those who criticized Li Xiu's argument for the Later Jin Dynasty, those who opposed the transfer of Yongwei Camp back to the capital, and even those who were completely torn off the fig leaf during the crisis in the capital!
This storm that affected the entire court also completely kicked off.
What is the autocracy of the emperor? What is the power of the emperor?
At this time, Zhu Youjian truly realized it.
The court officials who once bound and oppressed him so much that they could not breathe, now they let him knead him without any resistance.
Zhu Youjian is very confident!
An unprecedented foot!
As Li Xiu said, now, now is the best time.
The military was in full swing, and the civil servants and nobles suffered an unprecedented blow in this battle and fell into a rare window.
And he, Zhu Youjian, Li Xiu, the Yongweiying, this huge victory, and the highest point of etiquette and morality!
The right time, place and people are in control of it. How could he miss such a great opportunity!
In a storm, many important officials who were glorious in the past were dismissed, and many people who were able to use it for a long time were promoted.
Zhu Youjian did not have any intention of treating scholars and officials preferential treatment. Those who were seriously guilty would be confiscated and destroyed. With absolute confidence, Zhu Youjian did not leave any sympathy.
Li Xiu never really participated in all this, watching silently outside the room, and shocking any ill-hearted person.
This is also the silent tacit understanding between him and Zhu Youjian.
He commanded the army and gave Zhu Youjian the confidence to ignore the rules.
Zhu Youjian was in charge of the country, released his dream of governing the country, pacifying the world, and reviving the Ming Dynasty.
Just like this storm that swept the entire court, before the beginning, Li Xiu issued an order in the name of the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office to transfer all the troops of the Beijing camp to the outskirts of the capital.
At the same time, in the name of a reorganization, a battalion of infantry guarding the camp was dispatched and stationed beside the Beijing camp army. The real purpose is obvious.
He lost the only power that the capital can rely on at present. Whether it is a civil servant or a nobleman, he is just the flesh on Zhu Youjian's chopping board. It only depends on how Zhu Youjian takes the knife.
This storm lasted for nearly half a month, and both the so-called Donglin Party and the eunuch Party suffered heavy losses.
And the biggest movement in this storm was the nine thousand-year-old who continued the majesty of the two dynasties... Wei Zhongxian's exit.
In early December of the first year of Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian submitted a petition to resign from the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Ministry of Education, saying that his body was old and could not bear the heavy responsibility and wanted to enjoy his life.
The emperor refused, and Wei Zhongxian resigned again. After this three times, the emperor finally couldn't bear it and allowed him to retire and return home and live a life of his life.
Of course, this is not a hypocritical attitude, but a real fact.
After all, neither Zhu Youjian nor Li Xiu included Wei Zhongxian in the purge of the court this time.
After all, although Wei Zhongxian had a very poor reputation and even had a lot of illegal behavior, when Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and fell into loneliness, he took the initiative to cooperate many times and even formed a tacit understanding with Zhu Youjian, which led to the phenomenon of eunuchs in the court re-emerging and checking and balancing Donglin.
Once this tacit understanding is formed, for a eunuch, it will undoubtedly recognize a new master.
Zhu Youjian obviously used Wei Zhongxian quite easily. Moreover, at Li Xiu's suggestion, there were still many dirty work that Wei Zhongxian needed to do, and it was far from the time to kill Wei Zhongxian and calmly upset.
But now, Wei Zhongxian obviously realized that he was already in a difficult position. His so-called eunuch party power was already vulnerable under the current trend.
In this way, his first idea was naturally his plan.
For this reason, Wei Zhongxian was decisive enough!
He actually came to Zhu Youjian directly, pleaded guilty and committed all his property, nearly one million taels of silver and tens of thousands of taels of gold.
There is no doubt that Wei Zhongxian is gambled.
But obviously, this time, he won the bet.
His life, at least now, is useful.
He can retreat, but he cannot die.
He retreated, and even if the eunuch party collapsed, the people were still there. In the face of the emperor's obvious attitude of not liking to Donglin, they would naturally gather into another group, and even move closer to the emperor and become the emperor's voice-over.
But if he died of justice, he would definitely be bitten by Donglin, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud. By then, he would not be Zhu Youjian who will benefit.
In this way, after giving out all the so-called property, the nine thousand years who were powerful in the two dynasties also left the market safely, retired and returned home, and lived a life of life.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving, Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to visit Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
The once famous Nine Thousand Years, now they are still humble in the Marquis’ Mansion, just like the old man who can be seen everywhere on the street.
"These are some of the wishes of the old slave. The marquis is the pillar of the country, so it is very inconvenient. The old slave's hands are dirty, so it is convenient for him to do things."
"That's true, thank you."
Li Xiu glanced at the book of Ce Ce in the wooden box, raised his eyebrows, looked at the respectful Wei Zhongxian in front of him, and smiled and said, "I heard that you are about to go back to your hometown to celebrate your old age. This is a good thing. I am here to congratulate you on your journey."
"Then let me borrow the auspicious words from the Marquis..."
Seeing that Li Xiu accepted the gift, Wei Zhongxian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor had done it, Zhenbei Hou was also stable, and he was safe!
Watching Wei Zhongxian leave, Li Xiu turned his gaze to the large wooden box in front of him.
"It's been a lot of painstaking efforts!"
Looking at the martial arts secrets in the Qi Realm in the box, the extremely conspicuous logos of each sect, it is obvious that these martial arts secrets come from the major sects in the world!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This way, Li Xiu has avoided some of his concerns. After all, he had such thoughts, but it has not been implemented yet.
As for whether the sects in the martial arts world will accept the orders and offer the most precious secrets in the sect, Li Xiu never thought about this.
The so-called hero violates the ban with martial arts. In most cases, this hero will not include those sects in the martial arts world. He is basically the kind of lone heroes who fight alone, and they eat one person and the whole family will not be hungry.
As the saying goes, the monks can run away from the temple. The more famous the great sect there is, the more concerns it will be. In the face of the power of the court, the easier it will be to bend over.
As for the lawless sects in the novels of previous life, in Li Xiu's view, perhaps because the existence of martial arts must have been qualitatively improved compared to the martial arts of this era and had reached a certain level of deterrence. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out by the court.
"Mr. Marquis, I've just sent another invitation."
Wang Wu walked over, took a few invitations and reported in a low voice.
"Just say that I am busy with military affairs, I will refuse."
Li Xiu waved his hand and waved to Zhao Wu, the commander of the personal guard who had been waiting on the side for a long time.
The guards immediately came over and respectfully handed over a booklet.
"General, these are all recorded on the list of personnel entering and leaving the Beijing Camp these days, as well as the soldiers and generals they contacted..."
"Is there any abnormal movement in Beijing?"
Li Xiu looked through the booklet and asked casually.
"In the past few days, generals from Beijing camp gathered to discuss, which made it very secretive, and the brothers below could not find out the situation."
"No matter how much a group of cowards discuss, they cannot find any result. With a destined fate, this marquis can still make them change their fate against the will of heaven!"
With a sneer, Li Xiu adjusted his python robe and said with a smile:
