93 The King
When the people in the tent heard this, they were stunned. At this time, the imperial envoy came over. What should it be?
Because from the perspective of time, it is very likely that the good news will be transmitted to the capital at this time, so the imperial edict this time cannot be a response to the good news.
"Maybe it's better to strictly entrust our family to rescue our soldiers!" Gao Qiqian laughed at himself, thinking in his heart that the emperor really valued Lu Xiangsheng.
Wang Chengen also recognized this, and it must be a similar decree.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was very grateful. How many deeds were urged so frequently, and the emperor's grace was so great that he could not repay it!
They were thinking about it and quickly gathered to welcome the imperial edict.
No one of them expected that they had guessed the purpose of the imperial edict this time wrong!
This time the imperial edict was the decree that Emperor Chongzhen gave the 300,000 taels of silver to Lu Xiangsheng. After the angel read it, the group of people were stunned there.
Three hundred thousand taels are not a small amount. For the current army, it is simply a timely help.
Gao Qiqian couldn't understand, so he asked quickly: "Where did the imperial court get so much money?"
"The Dongchang investigated and arrested officials at all levels of the Imperial Horse Supervision for falsely pursuing military pay, detaining military pay, corruption and abuse of power, and so on. As a result, the leader of the King Zhixin and others asked for the death of the house, and the money was all obtained from the house scout. There were some other cases where the Dongchang consciously handed over the dirty silver."
As soon as the angel finished speaking, the tent suddenly became silent.
It is not too common in the army to falsely claim, withhold military pay, and privately abuse military power for personal use. Several generals in the army did not do this. However, even yamen like the Imperial Horse Supervision have been investigated and questioned for doing this. What should they do?
Thinking of this, many generals started to sweat on their backs, and even Gao Qiqian became worried. Because he also came from the Royal Horse Prison, he also made a lot of money, but he was a military officer outside, so he escaped.
When Wang Chengen heard this, he couldn't help but get revenge on his godfather so violently, and he was a little surprised. At the same time, he also realized that there were probably 40,000 taels of silver he had taken out of the 300,000 taels of silver.
Oh, it hurts a little!
Lu Xiangsheng felt very happy about this, and he immediately got 300,000 silver. This was a big deal! But he was also a little surprised and asked the angel that sent the order and said, "What does the Dongchang consciously pay the dirty silver?"
"The emperor gave the opportunity to confess his guilt, took the initiative to confess, consciously handed over the dirty silver, and left the blame. This is the case with the Dongchang." The angel replied here, and suddenly looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Eunuch Wang has personal experience in this, right?"
This question immediately made Wang Chengen very embarrassed. However, when he saw everyone in the tent paying attention to him and seemed to be very concerned. For some reason, his heart moved and suddenly felt that the emperor sent him here, maybe he was waiting for this moment.
Thinking of this, he was not satisfied with his personal privacy being exposed in public. He quickly nodded and responded: "Our family used to be vigilant and did something that shouldn't have done. Fortunately, the emperor was kind and gave our family a chance to reform. After handing over the dirty silver, he not only did not blame us, but also sent our family out to do the job!"
This means that it should be his attitude of confessing guilt, which made the emperor recognize him. Not only did he not blame him, but he also gave him heavy use and went out of Beijing to supervise the case, which was still a high promotion.
Thinking of this, many people suddenly felt relieved. Since the emperor would give such a chance, it would be much easier.
"By the way, not only our family!" Wang Chengen remembered something and added, "There are also many yamen in the palace, and some problems were discovered by the emperor. The eunuchs in charge of seals all wrote confessions. The emperor only had the same idea. As long as he could surrender himself, the emperor would not blame him for his past affairs, but if he continued to conceal and was seized, he would never forgive him!"
Lu Xiangsheng, who was beside him, couldn't help but have a new understanding of the emperor after hearing the cause and effect of the money. In the past, he never thought that the emperor had such a way.
In his impression, Emperor Chongzhen was not very clever, black is black, and white is white. Once he recognized it as white, it would be very important, but if he found out that it was black, he would be cold-blooded and ruthless. There were many such examples in the Chongzhen Dynasty.
However, in today's Ming Dynasty officialdom, how many people can still be clean? If they are in such a large dye vat, most people will either be excluded from the officialdom or be attacked and convicted.
Under such a background, if the emperor finds that there is a problem, he will be punished severely. Then, how could he be so easy to rectify the official atmosphere?
Thinking of this, he suddenly found a way of thinking and asked the angel: "What about the Jinyiwei?"
The factory guards supervise the world, which is the emperor's knife. Now that the East Factory has been rectified, what about the Jinyiwei? If there has been rectified, it means that the emperor has found a shortcut to rectify the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
"The Jinyiwei is closing the yamen, and we don't know the specific matters." The angel replied.
When he heard this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately concluded that the emperor must have taken action against the Jinyiwei.
With this conclusion, he was immediately very excited. The emperor is so wise!
While rectifying the factory guards, he also gave the officialdom a chance to reform himself. Such a two-pronged approach would definitely not allow the entire official to join forces because of fear of crimes. At least from the moment, the East Factory has become a knife to rectify the administration. Although it is still only attacking the palace yamen, Lu Xiangsheng is sure that it will not be too far away when he attacks the foreign court. It is very likely that the Qing army was driven out of the pass.
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became very tall in Lu Xiangsheng's impression. If in the past, in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen was just a child and needed him to assist and take care of him; then at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was already a real king and father, but he just needed to obey orders and serve the king and father.
After most of the mainland generals understood the movements of the capital, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about their own affairs.
However, Lu Xiangsheng did not think about it for them, but immediately began to issue various orders. The matters mentioned in the imperial edict, such as reissueing military pay and paying pensions, must be done immediately.
Although it was only a month's military pay, the unprecedented thing about paying pensions caused a sensation in the entire military camp. Invisibly, morale suddenly rose.
Although for disabled soldiers, this little money really cannot make them worry-free for the rest of their lives, their morale is still not very good, but at this time, it is always better to have nothing.
Lu Xiangsheng still had some silver available, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and announced that he would draw elite troops from each army to form an elite army that could truly fight against the Qing army.
