"Li Ruolian has completed the renovation of Jinyiwei. Now he has promoted many new hundred households and general banners, and there is a new atmosphere.
The Jin Yiwei are my personal soldiers, and their duty is to protect me, supervise all officials, and protect the capital.
However, the former Jin Yiwei have become private soldiers of hundreds of households. They are not only corrupt, but also maliciously slandering the ministers of the DPRK and China, and extorting money.
So I am preparing to leave the palace and inspect the Jinyi Guards outside the city, telling them that the Jinyi Guards are my personal soldiers, and supervising the officials does not allow them to be arrogant and domineering and overpower the officials."
The six people shouted loudly, but Chongzhen said in his heart, when the Jin Yiwei only recognizes me and not the general, you will know what it means to be more arrogant!
When the time comes, I will let some of you know what Shuanggui is. Of course, if you are honest and obedient, you can let your Shuanggui go home and live out your old age.
"In this case, I will naturally work with Your Majesty to reorganize the Imperial Guards. It is a must. I promise not to make it difficult for Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, is it necessary to leave the city?"
Chen Yan objected subconsciously.
"What's wrong with His Majesty being out of the city? How can His Majesty live in a separate house in the great capital of Nuo? Do you want His Majesty to follow the example of the former emperor and visit incognito? Are you happy?"
Fan Fucui's dim eyes regained energy, as if he had found the goal of his struggle and became several years younger.
"Dear dear princes, my departure from the palace cannot be changed. As soon as the court responds, you must suppress me when the time comes.
Here are some treasures obtained from the immortals, which I have given to you. As long as you are loyal to me, you can get all kinds of treasures that are the only ones in the world."
"This, these are actually colored glass glasses. The clarity of the glass is actually clearer and lighter than Western glasses."
"Why can this object control the light? There is actually an object that can control the luminous pearl. I believe it. If your Majesty has the help of immortals, there is hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty!"
Sun Chuanting was holding a set of rechargeable desk lamps, and was equally excited and speechless. This lamp was blindingly bright in broad daylight, and would be even brighter at night.
“This lamp needs to be recharged, which involves a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.
I intend to open a royal academy to train more capable officials. If you are willing, your children can also enroll."
"How can my children learn such immortal magic?"
Sun Chuanting felt like his head was almost dizzy.
The Hall of Meritorious Ministers honors the ancestors, while the Royal Academy protects the heirs. What kind of benefits is this?
"If you are loyal to me and do things seriously, I will naturally benefit his family. If I do something wrong, as long as you do it according to my wishes, I will bear everything for you and will not push you out."
"Your Majesty is wise, I will be loyal to your Majesty till my death!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Chongzhen noticed that among them, only Zhang Sizhi performed the most mediocrely. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Sizhi seemed to have already killed his son.
But Chongzhen didn't care. If the ministers in the cabinet are obedient, they can keep them. If they are not obedient and still want to make small moves, then just beg for their bones.
The next day, after the morning court, Li Ruolian stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said that the Imperial Guards of the capital had been rectified and that His Majesty would come out of the palace to inspect.
Chongzhen pretended to think about it and agreed to leave the palace in four days.
The court fell silent for a moment, then exploded. Only the cabinet did not take any action because they had received the news in advance.
Chongzhen imposed certain restrictions on both the factory guards and the Jinyiwei for various reasons, but this does not mean that Chongzhen really killed the Jinyiwei and the factory guards.
Throughout the Chongzhen period, ministers often reported that Chongzhen's factory guards were dispatched too frequently, which affected the ministers.
At first, it was just to protect himself. After killing Eunuch Wei, the admiral of the East Factory, he still retained the Jin Yiwei and the East and West Factory.
Therefore, the officials were happy that the Jinyiwei was suppressed, but the emperor was asked to personally inspect the Jinyiwei, which disgusted the officials.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. If the factory guards go too far, they will abuse their power, confuse the government, and endanger loyalty!"
"Li Ruolian, how can the emperor travel at will? What are your intentions? Your Majesty, please refrain from traveling far these days!"
Chongzhen snorted, not loudly, but the ministers below him all stopped talking.
This was a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers, which meant that he wanted to speak.
"Isn't it what you requested yesterday that I train the royal guards? Regarding my leaving the palace, if you have any opinions, you can ask the cabinet first."
Before several ministers in the cabinet could speak, Ding Shikui, the minister of rites, stood up.
"Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter for a holy driver to travel. Your Majesty, please think twice, otherwise you will lose the dignity of the royal family!"
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Li Ruolian, a member of the Imperial Guard, for falsely accusing Zhongliang and attacking dissidents. Yesterday, Li Ruolian, in the name of the Holy One, arrested several people from hundreds of households and sent them to prison for no reason.
I believe that it is unreasonable for Jinyiwei to set up a private execution chamber and bypass the punishment department."
Liu Zeshen, the Minister of Punishment, immediately added after Ding Shikui's words that Chongzhen looked at Fan Fucui, and after Fan Fucui came out of the queue, he looked at Li Ruolian.
"Commander Li, do you have anything to say?"
"I am loyal to Your Majesty, and the people I arrested were all those who abused their power.
Two of them have been deprived of pay for many years and have withheld military pay. With this cleanup, I can save your Majesty at least 200,000 taels of military pay every year."
"Comrades, you are such a humble minister, do you have anything else to say? I want to find out the corruption of the Imperial Guards for Your Majesty. Why don't you go and have a look?
The reason why the factory guards are excessive and confuse the government is simply because His Majesty is busy with government affairs. Now that His Majesty attaches great importance to the chaos in the factory guards, are you still going to object?"
After Fan Fucui finished speaking, Xie Sheng, the cabinet minister and academician, also stood up and spoke.
"Since Your Majesty has made the decision, please prepare as soon as possible. Lin, the Minister of Rites, would like to send someone as soon as possible to discuss the details of leaving the palace with Commander Li."
"I understand."
When Chongzhen stood up and left, the minister of civil and military affairs stopped the performance and just reviewed it.
It is inevitable for the emperor to leave the palace, so it is necessary to clean up the capital.
"Li Shangshu, when your Majesty leaves the palace, you must keep the capital clean!"
Zhang Sizhi said to Li Rixuan.
There are some refugees and beggars in the outer city. Even if the emperor doesn't want to see them, he has to make sure they are not there that day, otherwise it will look like the management of Shuntian Mansion is crappy.
Li Rixuan agreed vaguely. Today's cabinet is a bit abnormal. Usually, the cabinet will not take sides easily when the whole government opposes it.
Not to mention that he would not turn to His Majesty's side and speak for His Majesty. This made him feel that there must be some agreement between the cabinet and the Emperor.
Other ministers also noticed this and immediately went to communicate with several bachelors to get some information.
The next day, at the north gate of the capital, Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian were patrolling the moat on horseback, with several Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi on horseback behind them.
"My lord, the terrain here is extremely open. If it is used as a place for His Majesty to review the troops, it would be great, great!"
"Master Li, have you memorized all the procedures the emperor mentioned?"
"Remember, remember, the military households that have been trained by Jinyiwei will all arrive by then."
"The Zajia don't want to arrive at that time. I will only arrange personnel for you for three days. On the third day, my people will lead you to shout the slogans you should shout.
There are only a few slogans of His Majesty and the Emperor. If anyone cannot remember them and shouts them wrong, he will not need to receive the salary of the Imperial Guards.
This is the intention of the shop owner. In his words, if you don’t practice, you won’t know if there are any problems, so you must complete it well.”
Wang Chengen said seriously, his expression looked very serious. The shopkeeper's words were definitely more important than the imperial edict.
Thanks to the 100,000 reward from the mortal boss, I will put it on the shelves for you in the fifth update.
