After catching twenty to thirty of them, the officials saw that something was wrong and no one came to the palace gate anymore.
Civil officials were all smart people. In the past, if they were killed, it would be a death remonstrance. They could even leave their names in the history books. But now, not only did they not do anything, but they were also labeled by Wei Zhongxian as offending their superiors.
The civil officials would not do anything that did not benefit them.
"Cough cough, as officials, we shouldn't discuss the matters of the Tian family!”Shi Meng said.
As the imperial edict was issued, Lu Xiangsheng, the magistrate of Daming, was dumbfounded. He could not understand how he had been promoted.
The eunuch who delivered the edict smiled." Congratulations Assistant Minister Lu. You are an assistant minister hand-picked by the Emperor. Congratulations!”
"Oh, thank you, Eunuch. I'll prepare to enter the capital now!”Although Lu Xiangsheng was surprised, the emperor's orders could not be disobeyed, so he naturally had to hurry.
The eunuch's name was Du Xun. It was not easy for him to snatch the job of delivering the imperial edict. What was it for? Wasn't it for money?
However, when he saw Lu Xiangsheng leave him behind, he could not help but be so angry that his nose was crooked.
You say you are sensible and don't understand? This eunuch has come to pass down the imperial edict, so you should at least show some respect. If you don't have a hundred or eighty taels, how can you have the face?
However, Lu Xiangsheng did not say anything. This, this could not be tolerated!
"Hmph, I'll report you when I get back!”Du Xun squinted at Lu Xiangsheng, who had tidied up.
Lu Xiangsheng was a Jinshi, but he was a different kind of civil official. He was born with divine power and was wholeheartedly concerned about the court.
What he thought about the most was how to make the commoners live better.
However, Lu Xiangsheng was not stupid. When he saw Du Xun's ugly expression, he also reacted. However, he looked down on these eunuchs at all.
Not to mention that Wei Zhongxian had absolute power, and those eunuchs were basically not good people.
Therefore, he couldn't be bothered with Du Xun and only said," I'm already prepared. Why don't we set off now?”
Du Xun snorted and turned around to leave. He was too lazy to say anything else.
Lu Xiangsheng was also a person who refused to compromise. He really had talent, but he did not handle human relations very well.
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Xiangsheng died in battle in history.
Of course, if history had changed, that kind of thing might not have happened.
As for Sun Chuanting, although he resigned, he still cared about Big Ming. He often sighed about various things.
On this day, he suddenly received a decree from the imperial court, asking him to go to Yan City to meet the emperor.
Even though he had resigned, he was still Big Ming's man and had to obey orders.
However, Sun Chuanting was a shrewd person. He immediately reacted. His Majesty was going to use him again!
Sun Chuanting also wanted to be an official. Who would be willing to bury his ten years of hardship?
Unfortunately, Wei Zhongxian!
Sun Chuanting had no choice but to go to Yan City.
At the same time, there was another person who was shocked. That was Hong Chengchou.
Other people had to go to Yan City to meet the emperor after being promoted, but Hong Chengchou was exempted. The imperial edict said that he should take office immediately and quell the rebellion.
Hong Chengchou was not an ordinary person. He had learned a lot in the past two years in Shaanxi and had many ideas.
At this moment, the governor of the three sides was Yang He. He was a good official and had done his best after taking office.
Because the Qiqing army had invaded the border and fought many wars, the court was unable to make ends meet. Even with Wei Zhongxian searching everywhere, they were still short of money.
Therefore, there was the saying of Liao salary.
The so-called Liao pay was for the sake of fighting against Liaodong, so it was a distribution.
In other words, the commoners had to pay more taxes.
Yang He felt that the people were suffering and the court should understand.
However, the governor of Shaanxi did not care about this. He wanted to complete the mission given by the imperial court, so he desperately plundered the people. Coupled with the drought here, the people could not survive.
Therefore, there was a series of uprisings. Yang He wrote a letter saying that the people did not really want to rebel, but just wanted a bite to eat.
He suggested that they should appease the people and distribute food so that the people would behave themselves.
And that was what he did. When he saw an uprising, he immediately sent people over to persuade them nicely.
This method was indeed very useful. It made some people stop making trouble. In addition, the government sent some food. After all, the people were simple and honest, so the rebellion was quelled.
But things weren't always like this. For example, Wang Er rebelled and killed the magistrate. He opened the granary to release grain, so he gathered thousands of people.
Since he had already killed the official, there was no turning back.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou didn't agree with this. He felt that since they were rebelling, they should be killed.
If he killed all those who dared to rebel, naturally, no one would rebel.
As for the commoners being unable to survive, he did not care.
