After a secret discussion,
Sun Heding retreated with excitement!
In fact, he did not know that his conversation with Chongzhen was destined to change the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Lord Sun, our Cao Huachun!"
"His Majesty has ordered me to bring you to take over the War Bureau.”
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Cao Huachun was already waiting with a smile.
Sun Heding couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable with this famous eunuch.
"Thank you, Eunuch Cao!"
"Please!"
The two of them left together!
In a short while, a storm of blood was set off in the Beiping War Bureau.
Sun Heding, who was entrusted with the divine order, was responsible for checking the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. Those who failed were all eliminated. Cao Huachun was responsible for investigating corruption. Once he was found, his family would be confiscated and his position would be removed.
With both methods, the War Bureau wailed.
In less than half a day, the entire War Bureau was cleaned up. All the corrupt leaders were eliminated, and all unqualified firearms and craftsmen were quickly eliminated.
Immediately after, Sun Heding announced that he would improve the treatment of the craftsmen, which immediately inspired the enthusiasm of all the craftsmen. They began to work overtime in production and research and development.
……
at the same time
Fang Zhengzhi was also reorganizing the Imperial Army!
Huang Degong began to reorganize the capital camp with great fanfare. He selected high-quality soldiers and began to replenish the Divine Arms Battalion, preparing to expand the Divine Arms Battalion to 20,000 people.
The capital was immediately in an uproar.
The cabinet immediately seized and rejected the imperial edict issued by Chongzhen. A large number of civil officials and censors knelt outside the throne room and cursed.
"Your Majesty, this is the behavior of a fatuous ruler. Who in the past dynasties would appoint a eunuch as the commander of the Imperial Army? Your Majesty, you can't be so muddle-headed!"
"Isn't Your Majesty afraid of Wei Zhongxian's disaster?”
"The eunuchs are in power, and the country will not be a country!”
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
The imperial censors were shouting and cursing outside the hall!
As the pawns of the civil officials against the imperial power, they were not afraid of angering the Chongzhen and saying whatever was unpleasant to the ears.
Even if they were killed in battle, they would leave their names in history!
In the past, as long as they used this move, Chongzhen would immediately be grasped tightly.
He was afraid that his name would be written down in the history books, and he was also afraid that he would anger the entire civil service.
After all, Chongzhen was very naive in the past. He felt that he could not leave the support of these civil officials.
However, the current Chongzhen had changed. After being influenced by Ji Han, he did not care who was cursing outside the door, nor did he care about his reputation or the feelings of the civil officials!
"If they like to kneel, then let them kneel!”
"Let them scold whatever they want!”
"Ignore them, just leave them alone!”
Chong Zhen sneered and ordered, starting this silent confrontation.
Over the years, he had fought with the civil officials in secret countless times. His experience could be said to be quite rich.
At this time, they should be left hanging because these censors were mad dogs. The more you paid attention to them, the more excited they became.
The more you give the order to kill, the more they will advance!
Therefore, they would just wait and see who could win.
On the first day, everyone was in peace. The censors scolded each other, and Chongzhen was handling official business in the Xuanzheng Hall.
The next day, the censors were tired of scolding and would occasionally complain, but they continued to live in peace!
On the third day, several older censors fainted while kneeling. Chongzhen even considerately sent them to the Imperial Physician Department. Everyone was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood!
On the fourth day, just as the censors could not hold on any longer and wanted to retreat, Chongzhen's counterattack had arrived!
"Milords, make way, make way!”
"This old servant has to go to the cabinet to announce the decree."
Wang Chengen held the imperial edict in his hand and proudly passed by the censors. He immediately angered the censors who were about to retreat.
"Eunuch Wang, what's going on? Why doesn't Your Majesty want to see us?"
"What imperial edict is this? What decree is Eunuch Wang going to announce in the cabinet?”
"When does His Majesty want to see us? Eunuch Wang, give me a definite answer!"
The angry censors surrounded Wang Chengen, vowing to get an explanation from him.
Wang Chengen smiled and said," Lords, don't make things difficult for this old servant. The Emperor doesn't want to see you. What can this old servant do?"”
"His Majesty has just issued an imperial edict to the cabinet, removing Wei Zaode from his position as chief assistant and instructing Fan Jingwen and Fan Daren to take over as chief assistant. Oh right, Sir Shi Kefa will take over as Minister of War and enter the cabinet!”
Wang Chengen deliberately revealed the big news, and everyone was stunned!
The imperial censors looked at each other and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The confrontation between the ruler and his subjects was very useful for weak and easily bullied kings, but it was a joke for powerful emperors.
Your cabinet can reject the emperor's appointment.
But the emperor can also replace your cabinet members.
Chief Wei Zaode had always been trusted by Chongzhen, and now he was changing him?
Fan Jingwen and Shi Kefa quickly rose to the top. Wasn't this too big of a commotion?
"Not only that!" Wang Chengen chuckled and deliberately said in amazement,""His Majesty has made quite a commotion this time. He has appointed and dismissed quite a number of people!”
"I'm sorry, sirs. This old servant still has to go announce the decree!”
"Oh right, you guys can kneel slowly. This old servant won't disturb you anymore!”
Wang Chengen left with a smile, but the censors felt their scalps go numb. The entire venue could not help but become silent.
"Something is going to happen, something big is going to happen!"
"His Majesty's personality is never like this. Why is it so serious today?”
"This is the pace of reorganizing the cabinet. Something big is going to happen!”
The imperial censors were discussing animatedly in shock. They did not know that Chongzhen was preparing to push the officials who Ji Han had mentioned to die for the country step by step to various positions, nor did they know that he was preparing to start a great purge.
But even a fool could tell that this Chongzhen was probably up to something!
For a time, all kinds of panic brewed among the officials. This protest was left unsettled. Under the situation where everyone was in danger, no one insisted on kneeling in front of the throne room.
