Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Beijing was very lively in September. Since the war in Northern Xinjiang ended, next year's examination has become a hotly discussed topic.  As for the Yellow River floods, although many people have heard about it, they have only heard about it.  For most people, these have nothing to do with them, just like the Zhang family at the entrance of the alley killed a pig yesterday, which is not a big deal.  But for the court of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a big deal. The Ming Dynasty was so big that major disasters and minor disasters were common.  It's just a matter of dispatching food for relief. The emperor has promised that the money will come from the inner treasury, so there is nothing more.  Emperor Tianqi was in a pretty good mood at this time. The affairs of the Yellow River had been arranged, and the affairs of Sichuan were handled by Sun Chuanting, so there was no problem in thinking about it.  What's more, Emperor Tianqi also transferred 20,000 Beijing troops and gave 50 artillery pieces to Sun Chuanting from Xu Guangqi.  "However, Emperor Tianqi also has worries. The matters in Liaodong can be put aside for the time being. The seven million taels of silver there should be enough to last until next year.  But as soon as the shipbuilding yard in Tianjin starts construction, the silver will probably slip out like water.  The end of the year is coming soon, and the salaries of officials and the rewards of nobles are giving Emperor Tianqi a headache.  After glancing at Wang Chengen behind him, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "Wang Chengen, is there any news from Zhangjiakou? Let people keep an eye on the people who ransacked their homes. Don't let them take too much. I'm going to use the money!"  After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, but his face showed no expression.  During the Ming Dynasty, the annual income continued to decline and expenditures continued to increase. The court's expenditures were very tight.  At this time, the emperor would often find ways to make money, and there were roughly two directions.  One is a profiteer.  The other is corrupt officials. Old officials who have been in office for many years know this.  Emperor Wanli sent eunuchs many times to collect mineral taxes and salt taxes. However, those with vested interests did not agree, but they would also take some money out.  After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Go back to the emperor. The censor who went to Zhangjiakou is Feng Sanyuan. The people sent by the palace are also very reliable. Your Majesty, don't worry." He nodded slowly. Since Wang Chengen said that the palace  If the people there are trustworthy, then there should be no problem.  Since Emperor Tianqi reorganized the palace, the eunuchs in the palace knew that this was not a master who was easy to fool.  Already very honest.  As for the censor Feng Sanyuan, Emperor Tianqi also had the impression that this person was the one who participated in the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi.  When it comes to purging the Donglin Party, Feng Sanyuan still deserves credit.  "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner! I wonder where your Majesty is going to have dinner?" Wang Chengen waited on Emperor Tianqi and took a look at the sky outside.  He said hesitantly.  Looking up at the sky outside, Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Pass the meal! I won't go there today. I will have dinner here and watch the memorial for a while." "Yes, Your Majesty!"  Wang Chengen bowed respectfully, bowed and retreated outside.  It¡¯s also September.  There is a big difference between Liaodong and Mang, and the weeds outside the city have withered and turned yellow.  At dusk, it was already very cold outside the city, and many people were already wearing thick clothes.  No one knows what's going on, but many people feel that this year's apocalypse is abnormal because it is too cold.  Many people can¡¯t help but sigh, I¡¯m afraid it will be very cold this winter!  Outside Shenyang City, many people gathered at this time, and these people were all looking forward to it.  Along both sides of the official road.  The two teams of officers and soldiers wore bright helmets and were impressive.  Three miles away from the city gate, a large group of people were waiting here. Although the weather was cold, no one showed any impatience on their faces.  In the middle of this group of people is a civil servant, wearing a bright red official uniform.  It was Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong.  Next to Yang Lian is another civil servant, wearing a python robe and looking extraordinary. It is Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liaodong.  Behind these two people are the civil and military officials from Liaodong, and on the outer layer are the local rural gentry.  It was obvious that these people were waiting for someone, but it was already dusk, and there was no trace of impatience on these people's faces, and they were chatting and laughing among themselves.  I just occasionally glanced at the official road and showed an anxious look, but it passed away in a flash.  "Here we come!" After a group of messengers ran by, the people waiting here all adjusted their makeup and looked at the official road with serious faces.  The first ones to come over were a pair of Meteor Exploration Horses, both of which were fine Mongolian war horses. The riders on the horses were all extremely strong, and they looked like soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles.  Wearing black attire, with a narrow-edged saber on his waist, a sparrow bow on his shoulder, and wild goose feathers and arrows on his saddle, he ran to the reception pavilion as fast as he could, reined in his horse, and stood solemnly by the road, without looking at the waiting people.  Everyone here.  After a moment's pause, another pair of shooting stars came looking at the horses. Their clothes and armor were exactly the same as their companions.  The meteor scouts arrived one after another, twelve teams came over, and they all reined in their horses and stood on both sides of the official road.  The civil and military officials standing in front of Shenyang City??Everyone looked at Guandao with bright eyes, obviously this scene shocked everyone.  Seeing that the twelve teams of Meteor Exploration Horses had finished passing, everyone knew that the real owner was coming.  I saw more than a hundred officers and men in splendid uniforms riding up, wearing wingless black gauze, flying fish suits, Luan belts, and embroidered spring knives. Their armors were brilliant and their spirits were high. The horses under them were snoring. Sure enough, people were like tigers and horses were like dragons.  Live up to the reputation of Tiqi!  At this moment, everyone present fell into a daze. The Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal soldiers. Being able to use the Jinyiwei as a bodyguard was truly extraordinary.  Some people who were disapproving all shrank their necks at this time, and their eyes on the official road were full of fear.  After waiting for another stick of incense, dust gradually started to rise on the official road. Thousands of horse hooves trampled the ground, making a shocking rumble and rumble.  A group of frontier musketeers wearing iron helmets and breastplates, carrying shotguns on their backs, opened the way with murderous intent. Countless people and horses ran back and forth on the fields on both sides, fluttering whips.  They cheered in front and supported behind them, with horses and horses leaping like dragons and tigers leaping.  The six large banners of the Sun and Moon Flag, the Xinghan Flag, the Flying Tiger Flag, the Flying Bear Flag, the Flying Biao Flag and the Flying Leopard Flag are flying in the wind, guarding the three-foot-high Imperial Envoy's Day flag in the middle.  There was a person under the flag holding a royal flag, and many people could tell from a distance that this was He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang.  Next to He Shixian, Zhao Shujiao, wearing the uniform of the general army, held Shang Fangbao in his arms.  Countless Jinyi guards were following on horseback, and they were surrounded by a large four-horse carriage decorated with gold patterns.  The school lieutenants lined up on both sides with wild geese's wings, holding high the banners of eight official titles: Taibao, Imperial Master Shangzhuguo, Chief Assistant to the Cabinet, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Doctor Guanglu of Tejin, Governor of Jiliao, and Imperial Envoy.  Before anyone showed up, the momentum was already coming, and it was full of majesty from all sides!  Knowing that the real master had arrived, the people waiting outside the city hurried to greet him. Seeing this momentum, many people breathed a sigh of relief.  Fortunately, I am here. If I don't come, I really don't know what will happen.  The officers and men in uniform reined in their horses one after another, neighing one after another, the whole group stood still, and the two officers of the Hall opened the curtain of the carriage.  "Master Sun, the Imperial Envoy Supervisor, has arrived!" All the officers and school officials shouted in unison, their voices like thunder.  "Welcome to the imperial envoy, Master Sun!" Everyone waiting outside the city knelt on the ground, even the governor Yang Lian was no exception.  Everyone was kneeling on the ground, but there was no sound from so many people.  Some people wanted to see what this gentleman looked like, so they couldn't help but raise their heads and look secretly, only to see an old man rushing to get off the carriage.  Wusha, wearing a Jiangya seawater python robe, a nine-dragon jade belt around the waist, and red shoes on the feet.  The python robe and jade belt on his body were all given by the emperor. It seems that Mr. Sun has the power to dominate the government and the public. He is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!  Looking at the people kneeling on the ground with a smile, Sun Chengzong walked over slowly, supported Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi with one hand, and supported Liaodong Governor Yang Lian with the other hand.  After looking at the two of them, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "You two, get up quickly, the ground is cold!" Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi stood up, bowed to Sun Chengzong, and said in a very humble tone: "Thank you, Sir!"  Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong smiled and walked in front of the kneeling people and said loudly: "I have come to Liaodong again according to the emperor's decree. Thank you for coming to welcome me. I am grateful. Everyone, please get up!  "As he said this, Sun Chengzong made a supporting gesture and motioned for everyone to get up.  With the person in front taking the lead, all the people kneeling on the ground stood up, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Chengzong.  Some people's eyes are burning, and some people's eyes are full of fear. Obviously everyone has different thoughts!  Pulling Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "The weather is so cold, let everyone go back!" "My lord, this time my lord led the border troops to perform meritorious service in Zunhua, and the local squires contributed money and efforts to reward the meritorious soldiers.  In addition, we have prepared a celebration drink, please be sure to show your respect!" Xiong Tingbi came to Sun Chengzong's side and said in a respectful tone, and then saluted Sun Chengzong.  After taking a look at Yang Lian and seeing that he had the same attitude, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "In that case, I would rather obey your orders and lead the way!" The group walked into the city in a mighty manner, and Sun Chengzong walked surrounded by everyone.  In the middle, chatting and laughing with the people on the left and right.  ¡° However, Sun Chengzong understood that this time he came to Liaodong was different from the last time. Last time he came to Liaodong for fighting.  So there is no need to show your authority to everyone, just conquer the army.  But this time is different. What I have to do is too big. If I can't shock the place, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to sit up.  This is why Sun Chengzong, who was originally low-key, made such a high-profile appearance this time for his big move in Liaodong.
