Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 299 Plan ahead
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the lines of words, and to be honest, he was in a good mood.

This Qian Qianyi is also well-known in later generations, because he has another nickname: the water is too cold!
As far as Qian Qianyi's performance in the original history is concerned, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen didn't like him at all.When he crossed over, this Qian Qianyi had already been dismissed and returned home.Otherwise, with the current atmosphere in the officialdom and Qian Qianyi's life style, he would definitely fall into the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, now that he has returned, as the big boss of Donglin, he probably wanted to use his veteran status to teach Zhang Pu a lesson about Zhang Pu's order to go south. No one shows mercy to anyone, the kind that completely tears the face.

Not bad!Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and he couldn't help thinking that it seemed that he was right to approve Wu Changshi's memorial.In this way, Qian Qianyi's hometown is located in the place where Zhang Pu patrols, which is equivalent to giving Zhang Pu a chance to rectify Qian Qianyi.

It is estimated that within the next two days, my reply to Wu Chang's decree will arrive in Yangzhou.Then continue to sit and watch the Diaoyutai and watch a good show.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, he saw a line of words slowly unfolding in front of him.Needless to say, the system responded again, which made him feel happy, and quickly looked closely.

"The predicament of the Ming Dynasty today is that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has been rotten after nearly 270 years. All kinds of officialdom rules have long been destroyed. For the revival of the Ming Dynasty, a clean and efficient government agency is essential. Otherwise No matter how wise the emperor is, without reliable executive officials, he will not be able to bring real benefits to the people of Ming Dynasty! Now the host uses Fushe leader Zhang Pu as a breakthrough, and successfully provoked the infighting in the Jiangnan officialdom that was originally monolithic. The best start. If the direction is right, you will get twice the result with half the effort. I hereby reward a Grade A wiretapping seed as encouragement!"

After reading this content, Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to praise the system, thinking in his heart: My heart is very fragile, so I should encourage it more!
Looking at the gleaming Class-A wiretapping seed, Emperor Chongzhen wondered how to use this seed.

The first thing he thought of, of course, was thinking about what he had just thought about, that is, the inspection of the quota exemption for officials and gentry and the reminder to pay the owed taxes.This matter should be the biggest shock to the officialdom.To put it bluntly, even if the Manchus invaded the customs in the southern officialdom, it would not have shocked them as much as this incident!

This thing can only be done once.If it is boycotted by those Jiangnan officials and gentry this time, it will be even more difficult to do this thing again later.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to use the newly obtained Grade A bugging seed on this matter.

So how to use it?He couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously having an idea.Afterwards, he heard his decree, and it was said that Yang Tinglin, the censor of Youqian Capital, had an audience.

Not long after, Yang Tinglin arrived at the Wenhua Palace.

The year before last, he was only a staff doctor in the Ministry of War, but he performed so well in the war of Jianlu's invasion of Guannei that he was promoted by the emperor to be the censor of the capital of Youqin.For the emperor's kindness, he naturally kept it in his heart. Since he took office, he has been conscientious and dedicated to his duties.

This time, when the emperor summoned him, he thought he was going to ask about the situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he made preparations in his heart on the way to come.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would ask him, "What do you think of the officialdom in the south?"

Yang Tinglin is from Jiangxi. He was a Jinshi in the four years of Chongzhen. He also ranked high, but he has been unsatisfactory. He was suppressed by his colleagues in the officialdom. In exchange for the battlefield.In the early days, he could not understand Yang Sichang and impeached him.Therefore, he did not have a good impression of those colleagues in the officialdom.

At this time, when he heard the emperor ask him this question, he didn't hesitate, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty, I think that the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River only cares about the small family, and there is no sense of justice. Greedy ink is rampant, drunk and dreamy, in order to seek pleasure For the most!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect his comment to be so low, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and immediately asked: "Oh, why did you say that?"

Yang Tinglin originally told the truth, but seeing that the emperor didn't look angry at this time, he began to talk to the emperor endlessly.

Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River has a corrupt atmosphere, and there are many places for love and moonlight, and the places for love and moonlight are the most famous, far better than those in the north, which can be seen.What's more, he is very masculine, and he likes to wear women's clothes, paint and paint, and show off in the market, taking pleasure in it.

Local officials are all for their own profit, or for money, or for fame.Those who make money earn real gold and silver, and those who make a name put a frame in front of the yamen, and let the merchants and common people pay their own taxes, so they are called parents and officials!
……

Yang Tinglin said a lot at once, and when he reached the end, he suddenly made up his mind, and said to Emperor Chongzhen seriously: "Your Majesty, there is a big reason why I think the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River will be like this. The capital, and the official circles acquiesced that the officials accompanying the capital in Yingtian Mansion are all retirement homes for the frustrated in the officialdom. In this way, the officials accompanying the capital have no hope of official career, so they have the desire to pursue pleasure. This is really inappropriate!"

This kind of thing, if it is an ordinary official, it will never be said.Because this matter itself is like this, if you tell the emperor, will the emperor change?Moreover, if this matter is to be spread, the officials in the capital do not like to hear it.

But Yang Tinglin is such a person, honest and pursuing.Now that he said it, he didn't care whether it was a thankless thing or not, he had to tell the emperor.

In the original history, Yang Tinglin was suppressed by Yang Sichang, and finally returned to his hometown as an official.Logically speaking, he should have objections to the Chongzhen Dynasty.After all, Yang Sichang's great power was caused by Emperor Chongzhen's partial listening and partial belief, and Yang Tinglin was the victim of this incident.

However, when Li Zicheng invaded the capital and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself and spread to the south, Yang Tinglin wept unceasingly, so he recruited troops in Jiangxi to serve as King Qin, and called himself Jianshan, intending to follow the example of Wen Tianxiang (named Wenshan) and Xie Fangde (named Dieshan). Two Mountains Festival.In fact, he also did his best. After the defeat of the Qing army, he threw himself into the water and died for the country. He was given the posthumous title of Wenzheng.

At this time, after Yang Tinglin finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen with his head held high. Anyway, he had already said it. Whether it was a disaster or a blessing, he had to bear the consequences for what he said.

But who knows, Emperor Chongzhen laughed after hearing this, which was a bit different from what Yang Tinglin thought.

Because he thought, even if the emperor was not angry about this matter, he would avoid this topic, because other dynasties did not have it, only the Ming Dynasty had it, and this was the fault of Cheng Zu.

He was a bit puzzled, but Emperor Chongzhen had already said: "I have been thinking about the matter of accompanying the capital. If it is only used as a retirement home for idle officials, it is really inappropriate..."

When Yang Tinglin heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He thought, he had already dared to speak out, but he didn't expect that the emperor actually had no scruples. He even said that the capital was a retirement home for idle officials. What the emperor said Say it, is it appropriate?

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to care at all whether it was suitable or not, and he still said: "The territory of Ming Dynasty is vast. If the capital is only in the capital, it is too far away from the south, and it is a bit out of reach. In the future, I have other plans. It will be more important to change. Therefore, I thought, we can’t let the officials who accompany the capital become idlers, as Qing said, doing nothing will bring down the atmosphere of Jiangnan instead.”

Yang Tinglin was stunned. What is the emperor going to do?Is it possible to move the capital?

After Chengzu moved the capital to the capital, the later emperors actually thought about moving to respond to Tianfu, but for various reasons, even though they were all prepared for moving the capital, they did not move back in the end.

Relocating the capital is a major event, involving all aspects, and it is not so easy to move!

Before he had time to ask, Emperor Chongzhen said by himself: "My idea is to let the officials who accompany the capital earnestly perform their official duties. The six ministries and nine ministers must do what they should do. Of course, the main thing is Quick response to what's going on in the southern provinces."

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, it goes without saying that when it comes to some important matters, of course it's up to the emperor to decide.

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

He didn't know that when Emperor Chongzhen was talking about this, he was already thinking about whether he should stay in the capital for a few years, and then go to Yingtianfu for a few years. In the end, after the north was settled, he moved the capital to the south, using the Yangtze River as the hub, connecting China. The provinces of the Ming Dynasty can also compete for hegemony in the sea.On the capital side, to be honest, the transportation is not very convenient compared to Tianfu.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yang Tinglin obviously agreed with his idea, so he said to him with confidence: "So, I intend to change the Qing to the Zuodu Yushi of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and go there first to picket the officialdom for me. Ethos, after I have a foundation, I will issue an order to announce what I said today, how about it?"

If you don't say hello first, you will be promoted, but you can go to Nanjing to take a job. In the eyes of others, you will lose your sacred heart and become an idle official.

After hearing this, Yang Tinglin was of course happy. Not only was he promoted, but his suggestion was also responded to by the emperor, which is the absolute importance he attaches to him.Therefore, he immediately bowed to receive the order and said: "My minister obeys the order!"

"Oh, that's right!" When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he seemed to think of something, and he told Yang Tinglin again, "Zhang Pu patrols the area, checks the quota for exemptions for officials and gentry and collects owed taxes. If he can't stand it, you have to ask Support him, because this is also a very important thing to rectify the officialdom!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Yang Tinglin responded loudly again without hesitation.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded him with the Grade A bugging seed.

As soon as Yang Tinglin left, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree to recruit Lu Jiude to explain to him, and then changed him to the eunuch guarding Nanjing, and rushed to Nanjing to take up his post.

On the Nanjing side, in fact, the biggest ones are not the six ministers and nine ministers, but the guarding eunuchs, who have great power.

Emperor Chongzhen was worried that Yang Tinglin would not be enough, so he asked Lu Jiude, who had led troops in battles, to take charge.

After arranging these things, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts turned to Wu Zhong, who was now a consort of the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, he was already at sea. Listening to his conversation with the commander of the Jianlu Navy, the two ships did not dare to go directly to Dengzhou and then go south along the coast. Instead, they went directly south to the south of the Yangtze River. I don’t know where they are now?
This is a bit troublesome!Now, only I can know exactly where Wu Zhong is and what he is doing through eavesdropping on the seeds.If people were sent to Jiangnan, it would take many days to get there from the capital. Maybe Wu Zhong changed places and did other things, so there was no way to make arrangements for Wu Zhong's situation.

Speaking of it, the traffic at this time is too backward.In the later generations, driving for an hour's journey would require riding a horse for a day at this time, which may not be possible, let alone the comfort.If it is replaced by high-speed rail or aircraft speed, let alone.

The traffic is backward and the communication is inconvenient!
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little troublesome when he thought about this matter. The best solution was to go to the south of the Yangtze River himself, so that he could not only know what Wu Zhong was doing in time, but also know whether he was loyal to Ming Dynasty, or whether he had defected and completely defected to the Qing Dynasty. up?In addition, according to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Zhong's pawn can be arranged according to the situation, so as to maximize the rectification of the officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty can be cleared up.

However, since he is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, how could he easily leave the capital?Although it has happened once before, it was a personal conquest by the imperial driver to wipe out the re-emerging bandits. This matter, at least on the bright side, can be passed.

If you want to go to Jiangnan, of course you have to go secretly.In this way, the disappearance of the emperor on the capital's side will have a great impact.What's even more painful is that the transportation in this era is inconvenient. It will take at least a few months to go to Jiangnan, not two or three days, and you can sneak out and come back secretly.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen still couldn't make a decision, so he decided to let the matter go.On the other hand, Lu Xiangsheng is already making final preparations and is about to move across the sea.On this side, you have to pay attention.

……

While he was thinking about these things here, Wu Changshi, who was sick in bed, had already heard the news from his servant that he knew about Zhang Pu's disturbance in Qiuyue Pavilion. He and Qian Qianyi were so angry that they were dizzy and vomiting blood, this matter has become a big deal!
When Jin Yiwei was by his side, he sighed and said, "Brother Zhang is so impulsive, why bother to be as knowledgeable as those people!"

As he spoke, there was an expression of concern for Zhang Pu and pity for him.
