Capital.After Emperor Zhu Youxiao left Beijing, Fang Congzhe sent the officials of Shuntian Mansion and the officials of the Imperial History of the City Patrol and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to his palace, and reminded him very seriously: "Don't think that you can indulge and be lazy just because Your Majesty has left Beijing, in order to prevent mistakes, in terms of catching thieves and walking rumors, it is ten times stricter than before, no matter how severe, they will be caught in prison first, especially those who spread all kinds of rumors, there must be no mistakes!"
”"Yes!"
The officials immediately replied.And then, Fang Congzhe said to his son Fang Shihong: "Here in Chongwen Temple, as soon as the news of His Majesty's successful arrival in the "Huangming Daily" came out, it was immediately reprinted to stabilize people's hearts, remember, only report where His Majesty arrived smoothly, and the rest of the reform matters such as Qingzhang Tianmu and counterinsurgency do not need to be raised, so that people know that our emperor is safe, the world is clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”"Understood!"
Fang Shihong replied.Then, Fang Shihong went to the cabinet again, and invited the cabinet ministers and the Jiuqing officials who stayed in Beijing, and said: "Princess, although Your Majesty is not in the capital, we can't relax, not to mention that Your Majesty has explained before leaving Beijing, and all reforms must be accelerated!"
”Saying that, Fang Congzhe looked at Bi Ziyan and Feng Quan and others: "Here, step up the urging of Henan, Shandong, Huguang The three provinces of Qingzhang Tianmu are going forward, there is a rebellion in Zhejiang, you can not be busy first, but Henan, Shandong, Huguang These three places Qingzhang Tianmu can not be delayed, although there are many vassal kings in these two places, but this is not a reason to shirk, if the vassal king obstructs, then first detain the people in his palace, and if something happens, just push it to the servant, and then the vassal king will really participate in the impeachment, and the servant will confess to His Majesty!"
”"Please rest assured, we will immediately ask in the next article."
Bi Ziyan replied."
There is also the Ministry of Rites, the initiative to prohibit foot binding, the Ministry of Rites has ordered to urge it, and has it sent to the provinces to send the ceremonial officials who are sent to the provinces to advocate staying in heaven and obeying the way of heaven?
There is also the phenomenon of excessive slave storage, whether the governors of the provinces have been investigated, and what the result is, we must ask. ”Fang Congzhe continued.Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, replied: "I have been urged, the appointed provincial officials have been appointed, and a lot of problems have been found out about excessive slavery. ”Fang Congzhe nodded, and after explaining some reforms, he entered the palace and came to the political hall.At this time, Liu Ruoyu also happened to be in the political hall."
Motosuke!"
Liu Ruoyu greeted Fang Congzhe first and bowed his hand.Fang Congzhe also smiled slightly: "Gonggong Liu!
”Then, Fang Congzhe didn't speak again, but began to pack up the original recital.Liu Ruoyu saw that he was struggling to move the notebook, and the pale pair of old hands were still a little trembling, but he also walked over quickly, and his hands wanted to take over the notebook: "Let's help you, where does Yuanfu want to move these notebooks?"
”"I can't do it."
Fang Congzhe took a step back, didn't let Liu Ruoyu take over the heavy note in his hand, and then walked outside the political hall with all his strength.Liu Ruoyu was stunned and froze in place.And after Fang Congzhe walked to the door, he raised his voice and said, "Father-in-law Liu, the servant has some ears, what did you ask me just now?"
”Liu Ruoyu let out an "ah", then turned around, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly laughed and asked, "Our family is asking you, where are you going to put the notebook?"
”"Oh!"
Fang Congzhe laughed at this time, and replied loudly: "The servant plans to return to the cabinet!"
At present, Your Majesty is not in the capital, there is no need for the servants to come to the government hall every day, or go back to the cabinet to be on duty, and when the time comes, I will bother you to let the father-in-law in the clerical room work as hard as before, after all, this is different from when Your Majesty was there. ”Liu Ruoyu understood what Fang Congzhe meant.According to the system, the cabinet and the celebrant always needed eunuchs in the clerical office to deliver news, while the cabinet ministers and the celebrant eunuchs could not communicate directly.It's just that after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, in order to centralize power and improve the efficiency of decision-making, he called the eunuchs of the celebrant and several important cabinet ministers to the political affairs hall, and the on-site deliberations and drafts were approved on the spot, and the medium of the clerical room gradually lost its role.And Fang Congzhe now said that he would return to the cabinet and let the eunuchs in the clerical room work as hard as before, take the tickets from the cabinet and send them to the celebrant eunuch, obviously to avoid suspicion, because he didn't want to work in the same room with Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch who stayed in the capital, when the emperor was not there.Liu Ruoyu therefore smiled and said: "What Yuan Fu said is that our family will still go back to the ceremonial supervisor as usual, and when the time comes, let the people in the clerical room run more, and our family will be uneasy to stay here alone!"
”After Liu Ruoyu replied, he picked up the red pen and the seal letter and walked in the direction of the celebrant supervisor.......
"Your Majesty can't come back a year ago, the inner court is in charge of Gonggong Liu, we don't have to care, but Gyeonggi and Jiubian can't have an accident in our hands, your military department will next give the Jiubian military supplies to the point, don't give it at one time, you have to wait for them to urge it several times before giving it, especially the money and grain on the Liaodong side, if it's not too troublesome, go to the Jiliao side first, if anyone really wants to plot wrongdoing, the grain and grass can also control it." ”Here, after Fang Congzhe returned to his home, he continued to arrange the corresponding matters after Zhu Youxiao left Beijing to Zhang Jingshi, the left attendant of the military department, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the military department.After hearing this, Zhang Jingshi hurriedly said yes, and said: "In the end, it is Yuanfu who is smart!"
”Fang Congzhe sighed: "I don't know what is going on in Nanjing, Nanjing Xia official Li Changgeng is recommended by the servant, this person is familiar with military affairs, and Yang Zhaoji, who served as the governor of Nanjing Jingying, is also a brave and resourceful person, the servant has long been worried that someone will jump over the wall after the Jiangnan gentry are forced to hurry, so they arranged for these two capable people to guard against this day, and now the inner city is not lost, I hope these two people can hold the inner city, don't let the Nanjing nobles do embarrassing things, The servant was really worried that the nobles in Nanjing would not dare to defend the city because of Xiao Jingao's army, and surrendered directly!
”…… The inner city of Nanjing.Zhengyang Gate.Gu Mingjiao, the marquis of Nanjing Garrison Town, seemed to be a little afraid of heights, half-squatted and avoided behind the battlements, and said to Li Changgeng, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who was standing in front of him: "Da Sima, the rebels outside have reached tens of thousands, look at it, the city is full of it!"
”At this time, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, who was standing behind Li Changgeng, also said: "Da Sima, they have already handed over the letter of persuasion, saying that if we don't surrender, we will slaughter the people of the inner city!"
”Zhu Guobi said and suggested: "Now that the outer city has been broken, the inner city cannot be defended, otherwise, if you don't welcome the surrender, it will be the people of the inner city who will be harmed!"
So, let's go down. ”"That's right, it's better to surrender, when the time comes, you really want to see each other, and the people who die are the people, Yan Shilang's family, Sun Zhuangyuan's family, it's all like this!"
Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo also echoed.Just like in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty going south, these Nanjing nobles lined up to surrender, at this time, these Nanjing nobles were also afraid because they saw some rebels outside burning and looting undisciplined.Li Changgeng really couldn't listen to it anymore.Because from the morning to the present, these Nanjing nobles have been buzzing in his ears like mosquitoes and constantly talking about surrender and avoiding disaster.Li Changgeng felt that if it weren't for the control of the city gate in the hands of Yang Zhaoji, the governor of the military department and the governor of the Beijing camp, these Nanjing nobles would have taken the initiative to open the city gate a long time ago.
