Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

And this is just the beginning.

The ministers far underestimated Li Xiu's actions and determination.

In May of the third year of Chongzhen, the largest number of people involved in this process was implemented, and it was the most extensive in the dynasty. At another court meeting, Qin Guogong once again submitted a memorial to the emperor.

Martial arts academy recruits students!

In this way, one wave is not flat, and another wave rises again!

This time, the recruiting of the Martial Arts Academy, like the transfer order, is not limited to Li Xiu's one-acre three-point land, but covers the entire Ming army system.

In other words, according to the meaning of this memorial, in the future, any promotion of a soldier in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much credit he has made, must pass the training of the martial arts academy, or further study.

How could the courtiers fail to see the meaning behind this performance!

The world will leave the martial arts academy!

If this play is carried out, the status of the Martial Academy will rise in a straight line, comparable to six!

And after the implementation, what it means to the world is even more clear!

Obviously, this performance came immediately after that tune.

One after another, this Qin Guogong, who started his career with military exploits, was the first fire after he was ordered to assist the country in administration. Obviously, it was to burn on the corrupt Ming army.

Everyone could see that one move after another was aimed at the Ming army, and Duke Qin's desire to rectify military affairs was clearly on the surface.

"In a while, it should be time to check the yellow books of military registration in the guards of various places..."

In the garden of the Sun Mansion, Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the fish swimming in the water and made a faint sound.

Sun Chuanting chuckled, and casually dropped the fish food in his hand.

"Send trusted generals to take over the military power, and build a skeleton with elite soldiers. This will be enough to stabilize the situation."

"The recruiting of the Martial Arts Academy is undoubtedly a further extension of this step."

"In the future, it's what you Meng An said, check the military registers of the guards in various places!"

"Based on Duke Qin's historical style of doing things, when the time comes, there will undoubtedly be a bloodbath!"

Speaking of this, Sun Chuanting looked up at the sky with a somewhat complicated expression: "It's ridiculous to say that the person who is called by the world as a thief who brings disaster to the country is the only one who really does things for the country..."

"I'm not as good as a paper maker!"

Li Banghua shook his head: "Mr. Qin is too ruthless and ferocious in his actions, and he has no scruples about the stability of the overall situation!"

"Besides, whether it's for Daming or for himself, I can't say..."

"Nowadays, there is no big picture at all!"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and smiled, obviously, he did not agree with Li Banghua's point of view.

"I'm lucky to be waiting. In today's world, he is suppressed by Qin Guogong. Otherwise, there will be internal and external troubles. How can I wait so leisurely!"

Hearing this, Li Banghua was silent for a long time before sighing quietly: "The emperor left too early!"

When these words caught his ears, Sun Chuanting also shook his head and smiled wryly.

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.

No matter how close the relationship is, it can't stop the passage of time, let alone the emperor and the courtiers...

Right now, it might be the best situation.

otherwise……

Mountains and rivers fall, only in an instant!

At this moment of silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and then a servant was seen coming.

"Master, Qin Guogong sent someone here, saying that he is asking the two masters to go to Tianshou Mountain for a talk..."

……

People take tea to cool down, this sentence, even the emperor who is high above, can't escape.

The coffin of Emperor Tianqi was still parked in the palace, and the coffin of Emperor Chongzhen followed closely behind.

People are real, not to mention the eunuchs in the palace, where there is no one else except a few old eunuchs and the Jinyiwei guarding daily.

Emperor Tianqi passed away suddenly, no one expected it, therefore, his emperor's mausoleum was not built at all, and could only be parked in the Linggong Palace.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, although the imperial court started the construction of the imperial mausoleum after being assassinated and dying, how can an imperial mausoleum be completed in a short while.

Therefore, nowadays, the coffin of Emperor Chongzhen can only stay in the palace, waiting for the day when the emperor's mausoleum is completed, before it can be officially buried in the ground.

However, this is destined to be a rather long wait.

Naturally, it is impossible for an emperor's mausoleum to be buried in a random piece of land like ordinary people.

Like most emperors in the past, the two imperial mausoleums of Tianqi and Chongzhen were huge projects that cost millions of dollars!

Such a huge number is already comparable to the total taxation of Daming for more than a year.

It can even be said that it has exceeded the upper limit that Daming can bear.

but……

What should be built still needs to be built.

In this era, no one dares, and will not hinder the slightest,

The same is true for Li Xiu, whether public or private, he has no reason to stop him.

Yu Gong, the existence of the Son of Heaven is the greatest reliance for him to gain a foothold in the court, or in other words, the greatest legal basis. If he wants to stand firmer, he must hold the banner of the Son of Heaven high.

In private, the Son of Heaven treats him with the utmost honor and favor, even entrusting the Great Ming Dynasty to him, how could he even withhold and obstruct the Son of Heaven's affairs after his death.

However, for today's Ming Dynasty, it is obviously impossible to bear the construction of the two emperor's tombs.

In this way, the money can only be allocated from the internal funds, and the money will disappear like running water, and the exchange will be two emperor's tombs that are becoming more and more perfect.

Of course, not all are the tombs of the Son of Heaven. The Mausoleum of the Son of Heaven in Chongzhen is also the tomb of Li Xiu.

Chongzhen left a decree to allow him to be buried in Changling, and Changling is the name of Chongzhen's mausoleum...

Chapter 248 The Case of Two Tombs' Corruption of Ink

Tianshou Mountain.

Since the political center of Ming Dynasty turned from south to north, Tianshou Mountain has become the mausoleum of Ming emperors of all dynasties.

Today, the Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen and the Deling Mausoleum of Emperor Tianqi are naturally located here.

For the construction of the two tombs, [-] civilian husbands were used at the beginning, but later, they were gradually reduced. Up to now, there are less than [-] civilian husbands in the two tombs.

The reason is that after Lu Xiangsheng pacified the rebellion in Shuntian Mansion, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers were captured, and they simply dragged them over to build the Tianzi Mausoleum.

At this moment, on the site of the mausoleum, which was in full swing, the numb bandit soldiers moved little by little under the yelling of the steward, like walking corpses.

On the side of the hillside, rows of armored and sharp soldiers stood, holding knife handles, patrolling the four directions with vigilant eyes, showing a strong aura.

On the top of the mountain, Li Xiu stood alone, overlooking the construction of the imperial mausoleum at the foot of the mountain, looking at the numb faces, Li Xiu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, when he came to Changling for the first time, Li Xiu made a special trip to the general's tomb in the tomb. It's hard to imagine how a young man in his prime would feel when looking at his tomb.

But with Chongzhen's will, as long as he doesn't seize the Great Ming Dynasty, if it really comes to the end of his life, it is obvious that the general's tomb in Deling will be his final destination.

"Duke Qin, I found out."

Li Ruolian hurried over and bowed deeply to Li Xiu.

"There are 38 officials in Beijing involved in this case, including three third-rank officials, 35 people below third rank, and 30 of them are officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and nine merchants involved in the case..."

"Several ministers, as well as the elders of the cabinet, so far no trace of involvement has been found..."

Li Xiu took the file from Li Ruolian, but without even looking at it, he put it on the table beside him,

"This case, Jin Yiwei's actions, stop here."

After slowly uttering a word, Li Xiu also looked at the scene of the mausoleum building that was in full swing.

Li Ruolian was taken aback for a moment, then took a careful look at Li Xiu, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

After a while, Li Xiucai said: "How is the layout of Jin Yiwei in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"There are Jinyiwei spies in all the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The supervision of the officials and generals of the Jiangnan court is also being arranged. It will take at most one year. I guarantee that any disturbance in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely not be out of Qin Gong's control!"

"One year..."

Li Xiu whispered two words, then nodded:

"The south of the Yangtze River is important. All parts of the Ming Dynasty, including the grasslands of Liaodong, should not be neglected. You will go to the palace later. This commander has already prepared 30 taels of silver from the internal funds, which will be allocated to Jinyiwei."

Li Ruolian bowed deeply: "Humble job, never disappoint Duke Qin's high expectations!"

Li Xiu waved his hand and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Li Ruolian bowed again, and then left.

Li Xiu looked at the case file in front of him, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

"Why is Jin Yiwei here?"

At the foot of Tianshou Mountain, Sun Chuanting, Li Banghua, and Liu Qiyuan came in a hurry. After seeing the Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Li Ruolian who were rushing away, the three of them subconsciously looked at each other. worries.

Today's Jinyiwei is different from the past.

Since Chongzhen came to the throne, he has always attached great importance to factory guards.

The factory guards are all under the direct control of the emperor, and the emperor's attention naturally makes the factory guards sweep away the decline and grow rapidly.

And after that bloody storm, the world only saw the suffering of the powerful and powerful, and only remembered the fall of the high and mighty figures one by one.

But they don't know that the bloody storm inside Jinyiwei is even more cruel than the court purges that the world has seen.

Of these, Sun Chuanting and others are naturally very clear.

It was the cleansing of Jinyiwei's interior that completely transformed the Jinyiwei, and wiped out all the ills and bad habits.

Even, thanks to the unique independence of Jinyiwei, today's Jinyiwei can be said to be the first imperial court institution in Ming Dynasty to completely eradicate its ills and return to its peak.

Now, although it seems that the mountains are not exposed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mountains are not exposed. That is because Qin Guogong, who controls them, has not let Jin Yiwei open his fangs!

But now...Jin Yiwei appeared in Tianshou Mountain, and it was when Duke Qin invited them to have a talk at Tianshou Mountain...

"Deling Mausoleum, Changling Mausoleum, who is responsible for the construction?"

Sun Chuanting asked in a deep voice.

After saying this, Li Banghua and Liu Qiyuan's expression also changed suddenly. They looked at the craftsman and peasant husband who were shuttled at the foot of the mountain suddenly, as if they had thought of something, their expressions instantly became ugly.

"For the construction of Deling Mausoleum, 10 taels of internal funds have been appropriated up to now. The construction of Changling Mausoleum has been completed in a short period of time, and more than [-] taels of internal funds have been allocated. Duke Qin also seized it from the grassland. A large amount of food and materials were allocated as supplies for the construction of the two tombs..."

Liu Qiyuan's voice was also a little helpless:

"It doesn't matter who is responsible, such a large amount of money will always make people jealous, and no one can stop it."

Li Banghua sighed: "Hey, let's go, we're all here, we can't hide!"

After saying this, the three of them shook their heads, walked slowly towards the top of the mountain.

The soldiers will stand along the way, and the sight is full of austerity, which seems to indicate another storm they are about to face.

……

But at this time on the top of the mountain, soldiers shouted, dozens of officials who used to be aloof and the stewards of the mausoleum, but now they were escorted in front of Li Xiu like pigs.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers swung their weapons roughly, and smashed the legs of these officials in charge, or directly pinned their heads. Soon, the officials in charge all knelt on the top of the mountain.

Those who yelled were greeted with fierce beatings by soldiers, so under the threat of soldiers, the top of the mountain, even though it was chaotic, was incomparably quiet.

And when the three of Sun Chuanting walked to the top of the mountain and saw this scene, the three of them looked at each other, feeling helpless.

As for the kneeling officials, after seeing the three of Li Banghua, they immediately showed surprise.

"My lord, we are wronged!"

"My lord, you are wronged!"

"To shut up!"

After a few words of grievances, what was greeted was brutal shouting and beating by the soldiers.
