Domineering Daming

"It's Ding Yuanhou's family biography, as long as I close the door, my son will donate a county magistrate..."

"My lord, my lord, they did it all, we were forced, please let us go..."

The corner of Tian Ergeng's eyes twitched, and he swung the big stick forward, and the spike directly hit the shoulder of the middle-aged man in front of him.

"what……"

More and more miserable screams sounded in the torture room, Tian Ergeng seemed to be flying up, and his whole body felt refreshed.

In the punishment room, screams followed one after another, resounding through the Zhenfu Division.

In just two days, Prince Jing found out everything that happened in Jiangsu.

Standing in front of him were Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Cao Qincheng and others, looking at the memorials in their hands, they said blankly: "You are saying that Duke Baoguo is the mastermind, involving more than 20 nobles, the original six Most of the officials have also been moved in, and then there are many wealthy businessmen involved?"

Cao Qincheng is Tian Ergeng's immediate superior. As the deputy imperial envoy, he is half a rank higher than Huang Liji and Fu Zonglong. Hearing this, he said: "Yes, my lord, one-third of this strike strike is voluntary." , one-third is turning a blind eye and pushing the boat along, and the other one-third is waiting to see the excitement."

Prince Jing looked slightly cold, and said: "Is there no one who is loyal and dedicated to the country and the court?"

Huang Liji hurriedly said: "My lord, Wang Yongguang, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhou Weijing, Yin Zhou Weijing of the Yingtian Mansion, and some former members of the Six Departments, such as Wai Lang, Lang Zhong, and some censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are all loyal."

Huang Liji has to worry about himself now. After this matter is investigated, he, the governor, will bear the first responsibility.

Jing Wang Zhu Luhu's face turned pale, and he said: "Master Huang, you are the governor of a province, and Lord Li is a member of the right party. You must promote officials boldly. If you want to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiangsu, you must first stabilize the hearts of officials. Draw up a list, and I can submit it to the capital!"

Huang Liji must have been flustered, and quickly raised his hand and said, "It's the prince."

King Jing looked at Fu Zonglong again, and said, "Master Fu, you are prime minister of the military affairs of a province. At this time, some illegal and banditry problems must be dealt with with great fanfare. Now my Ming Dynasty is building rivers and building foundations everywhere. These people, It can be sent over!"

Fu Zonglong understood that King Jing had endured for a few days, and finally he was about to make a move. He raised his hand and said, "Obey!"

King Jing looked at Cao Qincheng again, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Cao, tell Dongchang to investigate further. No matter who is involved, they must be screened according to their priorities, and they will all be taken down. If anyone refuses to follow suit, they can be killed first and reported later!"

Cao Qincheng said solemnly, "Obey!"

Following King Jing's order, Jiangsu Qiangli's machine quickly started.

The governor's yamen quickly replenished, left and right participated in politics and councils, and various subsidiary organizations were listed one after another. Various officials were promoted one after another. .

There are several capital departments under the governor's office, including the capital tax department, the capital field department, the experience department, the prison department department, and the Qingshui department, which are in charge of the province's government affairs, finances, prisons, etc.

The Metropolitan Taxation Department is newly established. It is under the dual management of the capital’s household department and the governor’s yamen. It is responsible for rectifying all taxes in the province. treasury.

The Dutian Division is also newly established, responsible for household registration and field acres. It is planned to count the population and household registration of the whole province first.

At the same time, the prefects and prefects of the [-] prefectures and the three Zhili prefectures were also promoted and transferred, and the institutions of each yamen were also being rectified.Equipped with four county magistrates, from taxation, civil affairs, servants, etc., they have carried out vertical management with the governor's office to strengthen local control.

The administrative power of the entire Jiangsu is expanding rapidly, strengthening control in all aspects.

At the same time, Fu Zonglong is also purging the garrisons in various prefectures, cleaning up the old forces, strengthening the management of the garrisons, and controlling the military affairs of the province.

For more than ten days in a row, the whole of Jiangsu was like a construction site, busy all the time, looking full of enthusiasm, ready to do a big job.

The Zhenfu Division of Dongchang was not idle either, there were Tiqi galloping everywhere, and people were escorted into the Zhenfu Division every day.

The entire Yingtian Mansion is living in trepidation, the empty streets are still deserted, the closed shops are still closed, and there is no sign of opening for business.

Baoguo Gongfu.

Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, Deng Wenyu, Marquis of Dingyuan and others were a little anxious.

Prince Jing's actions are too big, involving all aspects, how many people have been wooed, and those traders are also panicked.

Marquis An Yuan said: "Marquis Tang, how are you doing?"

Tang Guozuo shook his head and said: "All my people have been replaced. The current officials, big and small, are either unremarkable before or come from the capital. I can't get a hand in them at all."

Marquis Dingyuan also said: "That's right, now that the governor's yamen has manpower, they have started to calculate the food and taxes in various places, and the prefects in various places have also changed, Dongchang Tiqi is everywhere, and anyone who does not obey their orders will be arrested. "

"Now the Metropolitan Taxation Department has notified the vendors in Yingtianfu door to door that they must go to the Metropolitan Taxation Department to obtain a business license within a certain period of time, otherwise they will not be allowed to open their businesses!"

"The prison department is also taking action. All the scattered people we sent people to smash up have been arrested. I heard that it has spread to the whole of Jiangsu. Anyone with bad deeds will be arrested and sent to repair dikes and roads... ..."

"People from the Dutian Division also ordered all localities to re-audit Hu Ding and Tian Mu..."

"More than that, I heard that the newly established Duke's Mansion will manage us Dukes in a unified way, and all words and deeds in the future must be approved by this mansion..."

A group of people were discussing, and their expressions were not very good-looking. The key is that the power in Nanzhili is not in their hands at all, and even the little influence is gradually losing.

After talking for a while, everyone was very helpless, and they still looked up at Zhu Guobi, the Lord Baoguo, and said, "My lord, if we don't do anything, we will become a bird in a cage from now on, and the princes in the capital are our lessons from the past! "

"Yeah, my lord, let's say something, we can't sit and wait for death now..."

"My lord, you have the highest title right now. Duke Wei and Prince Jing wear a pair of trousers, so you have to climb up..."

Zhu Guobi smiled slightly, dressed in a delicate long gown, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, we are not the only ones offended by the governor's yamen. Those six ministers, ministers, and the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whoever is deprived of his official position can be happy, wait Let's go, there will be a good show soon."

Everyone was startled, but when they thought of Duke Bao's energy in Yingtian Mansion, they came to understand and smiled reassuringly.

"Haha, with Duke Bao taking action, I can rest assured."

"Let's wait and see the good show, I just hope it doesn't take too long..."

"Drink tea, drink tea, hehe, I'm in a particularly good mood today..."

It was almost the discussion of the people in the Baoguo Duke's Mansion, and the former officials in Nanjing, such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and other ministers, plus ministers, more than 20 senior officials above the third rank, plus officials and scholars such as the Gongyuan and Guozijian, gave the governor's office to the government. The water around is tight.

Various protest slogans sounded like thunder.

"Prince Jing is in chaos, get out of Nanjing!"

A group of ministers and servants, all in their seventies and eighties, stood in front of the governor's yamen, the sun was like a fire, dangling, as if they would fall down at any time.

Huang Liji and the others in the yamen had solemn expressions and were speechless calmly.

These people can't be beaten or scolded, and they can't "chat" with them. If something really happens, it will definitely cause a "disaster of party imprisonment".

Li Kuilong stood beside him and said: "My lord, not only the governor's yamen, but also prefects and prefectures in various places. Many things can't be done. If this continues, don't say whether there will be another accident. I'm afraid it's the emperor's plan. Finished..."

Chapter 369 Before the Storm

Jingyang Palace, inside the partial room.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed and looked at the two ministers in front of him.

One is Bi Ziyan and the other is Li Banghua.

Bi Ziyan was the first governor of Tianjin Wei and former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was framed by Wei Zhongxian and forced to resign and return to his hometown.Li Banghua is the current governor of Tianjin Wei, but like Yuan Keli, he is a neutral member of the Donglin Party.
