Chapter 8: Criminal Criminal Cracking (IV)

The two heavy blows of "clearing prisons and cracking down on prisons" and "small officials need to take office with certificates in the future" did not cause much fluctuation inside and outside the court. There were many who opposed, wrote petitions, and even resigned from office in tears. However, they still couldn't make any big waves in the end. Unless they raised the banner to rebel, they could only stop and eventually had to accept reality.

After dealing with some of the government affairs that had been overcrowded for a long time, the emperor Zhu Yinglong became a little idle for a while and hid in the warm and spring hall. He watched the girls playing cards, playing chess, playing and singing, hugging their sons, kissing their daughters. He was happy and went up to play, quiet down, and sat aside. If it weren't for the fact that some ministers asked for their visit from time to time and needed to deal with some trivial political affairs, it would be a life like a god.

It has been almost a month since I returned to Beijing. After a few days of comfortable life, I realized that the end of the year was approaching and I began to get busy again. This year, there have been natural and man-made disasters in many places. In order to ensure that these people who have suffered disasters can live a safe winter, Zhu Yinglong ordered the Ministry of Revenue to set aside an additional amount for emergency purposes during the famine. Without the emperor's edict and decree, no one is allowed to misappropriate this amount. Those who have not used up can enter the next year.

Next, another annoying thing was that Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the northwest three sides, suddenly ill, and wrote a letter begging the court to choose another good general to take over as the governor of the three sides. Zhu Yinglong knew this. He was not young and had a high prestige among the three sides, but his ability was not very good. He had good achievements and was too generous and strict, which led to the abolition of military orders. A large number of refugees were deserters sneaked out of the border troops of the three sides. If it weren't for the military constraints of Liaodong and Jiangnan, Zhu Yinglong would have wanted to move the governor of the three sides. After Wu Zhiwang died in history, the current Minister of Justice Yang He was the current Minister of Justice Yang Sichang, Yang He's son, also served as the governor of the three sides. However, although the father and son knew about the army, most of them were talking about war on paper and were still good to deal with refugees. When they met a natural commander like Huang Taiji and Dorgon, they would be defeated.

Regarding the candidate for the three-sided governor, Zhu Yinglong was interested in Xiong Tingbi. Now that Wei Zhongxian is dead, his crime has been settled, Xiong Tingbi has been rehabilitated and his identity has been restored. With his status and prestige, he is the best candidate to take over as the three-sided governor. However, the three-sided is a place of hardship and cold. Xiong Tingbi suffered in prison for three years and is old. Originally, his idea was to keep him in Beijing to enjoy his happiness. At this time, he would be less sympathetic to his subordinates, especially when he was his father-in-law, he asked Xiong Hu to watch his elderly father suffer in the northwest of the bitter and cold land, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The northwest, Qinghai and Lanzhou are quite complicated, with bandits and horse gangs rampant, and there are also the Khalkha tribe Quetu Khan, the Belitus Dunyuedorji of Kang District, the ambitious leader of the Mongolian Heshuote tribe Gu Shihan, the leader of the Junggar tribe Baturhuntaiji and others. No one can control these foreign generals, so Zhu Yinglong urgently needs several young generals who can stand alone and have high qualifications, abilities and prestige.

Only Lu Xiang, who had just been promoted to the governor of Shaanxi in the northwest, was promoted. This was also one of the famous generals in the anti-Qing Dynasty in history. However, he had a heavy responsibility, and it was even more difficult to convince the public when he was promoted too quickly. Thinking about where the northwest was, the generals were afraid that they could not suppress those arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi could not see the embarrassment of the emperor's son-in-law and took the initiative to go to the northwest. At first, Zhu Yinglong was a little hesitant. After all, Xiong Tingbi was both his subject and his father-in-law. From the perspective of family affection, he did not want to see his relatives suffer, nor did he want to see Xiong Hu unhappy because of this. After all, the emperor also had seven emotions and six desires, so he did not agree to his request at once.

Xiong Hu loves his father is not young anymore, and he has secretly found Xiong Tingbi to persuade him to give up the idea of ​​going to the northwest. However, Xiong Tingbi has a stubborn personality. Typically, the decision is very rare. Moreover, this matter involves national interests. Even if he is the father-in-law, he cannot shirk responsibility and insists on going to the three sides. When Zhu Yinglong was in a dilemma, Sun Chengzong gave him an idea. Three years later, he used Lu Xiangsheng to exchange Xiong Tingbi back. This matter has a happy ending.
