Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

At this time, watching Sun Chuanting striding away, Li Xiu also laughed at himself again.

People's changes are often not even noticed by themselves. Under the subtle influence of this environment, they change little by little.

Once upon a time, in his heart, he always maintained great vigilance and vigilance, not letting go of the slightest chance to strengthen himself and his own power.

But now, he couldn't help but start worrying about Daming, thinking about the emperor, and even sacrificing his own interests again and again.

Pedantic?madness?

"Li Xiu, Li Xiu, I hope you won't regret it!"

In the hall, the voice full of self-deprecating meaning also came out clearly.

Several personal guards standing outside the hall also looked at each other in blank dismay. They really couldn't figure out, what else in this world could make Lord Hou, who is under one of them and above ten thousand, regret?

The next day.

Since the assassination of the emperor, the first court meeting in the Huangji Palace also started.

The court this time is completely different from the past.

The ranks of military officers who used to have almost no traces in the court hall are extremely eye-catching in this court meeting.

The reason is simple.

Li Xiu, Marquis of Zhenbei who seldom went to court in the past, now stands at the top of the list of military attaches. Even the former pillar of honor, the British Duke Zhang Weixian, is second behind.

In the past, even so, it would be difficult for the courtiers to pay attention.

But now, after Li Xiu's cleansing of the entire Xungui Group, whether in name or in fact, Li Xiu has changed from a member of the Xungui to an undoubted leader among the Xungui. Sky pillar!

Now that the soldiers are in full swing and the bloody storm is not over yet, who dares to underestimate the slightest bit!

The ranks of civil servants are also very different from the same one. Many high-ranking and powerful people in the past have disappeared now, and new faces appear every time.

The court meeting naturally revolved around the rebellion against the party.

In fact, the bloody turmoil has continued to this day, and the people who rebelled against the party are already well known to all civil and military officials.

Now, it is just going through a process, or in other words, using this process to start another big drama.

A drama in which Li Xiu personally ends up playing a supporting role.

Of course, before the big drama is staged, the process that should be followed must also be followed.

The court at this moment is naturally Li Xiu's home court.

All the names that are familiar to hundreds of officials have now become imperialists against the party, ransacking their families and exterminating their families.

It's just that when Li Xiu reported the harvest of the family raids, the entire court was also erupting in an instant!

Nearly more than 800 million silver, countless grain, grass and land assets, and the value of everything, roughly added together, are already comparable to the total taxes of the Ming Dynasty in seven or eight years!

Seven or eight years!

This number is already enough to make people crazy.

Although Zhu Youjian knew the news a long time ago, but at this moment, when he heard the number again, his pale cheeks also turned rosy due to the agitation.

Just like what Li Xiu said, just the harvest from the family raid and extermination this time is enough to support the dream of reforming and rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, the premise is that he has to hold on!

He also has to hold on!

He can't live up to his brother's expectations, he can't live up to his ancestors, and he can't live up to Li Xiu's painstaking efforts to pave the way to heaven for him!

Zhu Youjian was agitated, and the officials were also excited about it.

You must know that for so many years, almost every year, the imperial court is in a state of debt, and every court affairs are trapped by money.

No matter how many insightful people there are, they can't do anything practical in the face of such a predicament. After a while, they will be forced to join forces.

Now, a windfall from heaven!

They couldn't help being excited.

However, Li Xiu obviously didn't give them a chance to get excited, so he handed over the right to use this windfall to Zhu Youjian.

Of course, he had discussed clearly with Zhu Youjian how to use it.

Besides, as far as this big drama is concerned, the direction of money use is just a trivial matter.

However, in the eyes of Zhu Youjian and Li Xiu, it is a trivial matter. To the courtiers, it is really a matter of a full man not knowing a hungry man. There are silver donated by Li Xiu many times, such as Wei Zhongxian's life-saving silver, and the income from Huangzhuang...

Everything, added up, is estimated to be at least a few million taels of silver.

As for Li Xiu, he has no shortage of money, food and grass. He has never been short of money since he led the army. Even, when necessary, self-sufficiency is not a problem.

But the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty are different. The annual tax is so small, one point here, one point there, basically nothing, and often even a lot worse.

Under such circumstances, in most cases, the already insignificant salaries of officials are deducted, and then replaced with various useless materials.

Now that you have money, if you don’t fight for it, how will you face your subordinate officials in the future? For a while, the courtiers selectively ignored the matter of rebelling against the party, and instead went to the court one after another, arguing about the distribution of money.

This situation made Sun Chuanting a little unresponsive. It was different from what he thought. Today, shouldn't he be the protagonist?

When he saw the meaningful smile on the corner of Li Xiu's mouth, Sun Chuanting was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, Li Xiu, this is another chance for him to increase his prestige!

At this point in his thoughts, Sun Chuanting's mind was running fast. This scene was not in his expectation, but there must be no mistakes.

If all the credit for delivering it to the door goes wrong, then he will probably be crushed to death by Zhenbeihou, and there will be no more grand plans!

……

Chapter 193 Ben Hou Gives You a Chance

Chapter 194 A Tailor-made Script

This scene was originally tailor-made for Sun Chuanting.

The protagonist, of course, can only be him.

No matter how other courtiers jump up and down, under Li Xiu's script planning, no one can steal Sun Chuanting's limelight.

Ok.

To put it simply, Sun Chuanting, the left servant of the Ministry of War, resisted His Majesty's pressure in the court, and took out a sum of money from His Majesty!

It is used to reissue the arrears of salaries to officials from the imperial court over the years!

Of course, this is just an episode, insignificant.

Money is destined to be distributed. No matter how stupid Zhu Youjian is, he will not be like a miser and hide all the silver and money in his inner pocket.

Only when the money is spent can the effect be seen!

The real drama has not yet begun.

After receiving the reward of reissuing the owed money, the originally boiling court gradually calmed down, and began to return to the theme of rebelling against the party, which made the officials heavy.

At this time, Sun Chuanting, who was already full of ambition, took a look at Li Xiu who was already wandering away, and then forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart, and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

This movement also immediately attracted the attention of the officials.

You know, the case of rebelling against the party was handled by Li Xiu alone, and there was no room for others to speak.

Sun Chuanting stood up at this time, which really surprised everyone.

After all, nowadays, after the integration of seeking survival and change, Sun Chuanting, who was originally unknown in the court, has now gathered a lot of forces, and his every move naturally attracts attention.

"allow!"

At this moment, Zhu Youjian's weak voice also sounded in the silence.

"I think that the capital is the center of the world..."

As soon as this remark came out, even though it was only the beginning, the eyes that were originally focused on Sun Chuanting changed completely!

Obviously, at the beginning, it was very obvious what Sun Chuanting was going to play!

For a moment, the officials subconsciously looked at Zhenbei Hou who was standing at the top of Wu Xun.

Sure enough, following Sun Chuanting's narration, the spearhead seemed to be directed at the Marquis of Zhenbei, saying that the situation in the capital had stabilized, and that the capital was an important place in the world, and it was not a good thing that the army was too strong...

"Your Majesty has the guts to go forward, and please issue an order that the military control of the army will be lifted and normal order in the capital will be restored!"

When Sun Chuanting's last words fell, the main hall was already suppressed to the extreme!

In the past, it wasn't that there were no courtiers who dared to play, but they all wrote the memorials and tossed about them secretly. These memorials were all criticized!

As for playing in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei, few people dare to look at the court, not to mention the soldiers all over the city, it is now a bloody storm, if you get a little bit of it, it will be the end of family raiding and extermination.

And to do this, for Li Xiu, who is solely responsible for investigating the rebellious party, it is undoubtedly an easy task.

Everyone can see that this Marquis of Zhenbei will not be lenient when it comes to killing people!

At this moment, amidst the silence, the gazes of the officials were also on Sun Chuanting who was kneeling on the ground, the Son of Heaven and Marquis Zhenbei who were already icy.

Many people looked at Sun Chuanting as if they were looking at a dead person.

"The rebellious party's investigation has not yet been completed. Mr. Sun's words are planning to let the rebel party get away with it?"

Li Xiu turned around slowly, his cold eyes locked on Sun Chuanting in an instant.

"The investigation against the party will not be achieved overnight. If the blockade of the capital is not lifted for a day, the officials will be terrified, the world will be shaken, and the country will be unstable..."

"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"

Zhu Youjian was still silent, sitting in the stands with the songs he already knew.

Under Li Xiu's deterrence, under the wrath of the emperor, lifting martial law is a taboo topic.

But the more taboo it is, the more difficult it is. For civil servants, especially for the civil servants who have not been completely covered by blood and rain, whoever can solve it will immediately gain great prestige.

Sun Chuanting's self-recommendation made Li Xiu choose to give this prestige to Sun Chuanting.

Zhu Youjian is naturally aware of this point.

He is more aware of the reason why Li Xiu did this. Obviously, even at this point, he would rather sacrifice his own interests, would rather create an opponent, and he does not want to touch the government too much.

How can Zhu Youjian not see clearly what the minister thinks for the king.

Today, the so-called desperate admonition, to be precise, is to create momentum for Sun Chuanting, let him take over this prestige, and gradually become the leader of the civil service group, seeking change!

But in the current situation, civil servants have only one choice.

Either, find a towering tree, huddle together for warmth, and cater to the emperor, or... Li Xiu's butcher knife, the fate of countless innocent souls whose homes were confiscated and exterminated, is already very clear.

And Sun Chuanting, the towering tree pushed out by Li Xiu, with the existence of Li Xiu and the Son of Heaven, will only be the only choice for the civil servants at present.

In fact, this trick is not difficult to see. Even if it is difficult to understand its meaning in the middle of the game, sooner or later, there will always be a smart person who will see it.

But even if you can see it, it doesn't make much sense.

Either die, or honestly roll to Sun Chuanting, the big tree that was pushed out, to report to the group for warmth, and then Sun Chuanting will be a villain, who should be killed, exterminate the family.

After all, Li Xiu hasn't come down to cleanse these civil servants in person. If he doesn't know how to do it, he will go out in person, and it won't be a newspaper group to keep warm!

It is better to kill the wrong than to let it go, this word has spread throughout the capital!

It doesn't matter if it's a conspiracy, or a butcher's knife with one hand, as long as it can be achieved, it can be regarded as solving the most embarrassing and headache problem for Li Xiu.

He finally did not touch the emperor's private land, saved a little face for the emperor, and at the same time helped the emperor control the court and consolidate the foundation of the emperor.

……

Sun Chuanting risked his life to remonstrate, and the script that had been arranged long ago, naturally there could be no surprises!

Therefore, in the eyes of the courtiers, Sun Chuanting, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was acting as a trick for the courtiers. He forcibly resisted the murderous threat of the Marquis of Zhenbei and risked blood on the court, and finally let the mighty Zhenbei Hou, they all took a step back.

In addition to guarding the inner and outer city gates, the Beijing army completely lifted the martial law in the capital and restored normal order in the capital!

What's more, the most unbelievable thing for the courtiers is that Sun Chuanting actually took some of the power to investigate the rebellious party from Zhenbeihou.

You know, Xungui, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei were all investigated and killed. Now, they are the only civil servants left.

Everyone is afraid, afraid of the coming of this bloody butcher knife. After all, everyone knows that once Zhenbei Hou makes a move, he will never just kill the so-called rebels, take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and clean the court. He will never let go. passed.

The most terrifying thing is that these ministers don't even have the right to know.

Now, even if they can win a little bit of participation power, it is enough to make them rejoice!

Even if it's just a little bit, it's not like he didn't know anything and was dragged out and chopped up. At least, he had room to speak, and the Marquis of Zhenbei didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

In a court meeting, Sun Chuanting can be said to be in the limelight!
