Chapter 48 Wang Yanjun Disrupted Fujian
This Donghua Palace is known as the most luxurious and glorious royal palace, built by tens of thousands of craftsmen. As the first emperor of the Fujian Kingdom, Wang Yanjun naturally wanted to posthumously confer his ancestors. For his father Wang Shenzhi, who had been dead for many years, Wang Yanjun posthumously named Emperor Zhaowuxiao and the temple name is Taizu. Wang Shenzhi's wife Ren has long been dead for many years. Although she is not Wang Yanjun's biological mother, she was also posthumously named Empress by Wang Yanjun.
Although Wang Yanjun's wife, Princess Qingyuan of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Hua, failed to see her husband proclaiming himself emperor, she was posthumously named Empress Minghui by Wang Yanjun. For the older brother Wang Yanhan, who was also dead, there was no posthumous title or temple name. In history books, they only called Wang Yanhan the successor king.
Everyone worked hard and wholeheartedly, and took the risk to support Wang Yanjun as the emperor, hoping to be promoted and honored, and to glorify his ancestors. Wang Yanjun was very clear about this and was very generous. He rewarded his relatives and officials without hesitation.
The first recipient was naturally Wang Yanjun's favorite wife Chen Jinfeng. Chen Jinfeng, the concubine of Suzhou, jumped to the first queen of Fujian overnight. "One person is at power, and chickens and dogs are ascending to heaven." The Chen family, which had been silent for decades, began to gain power again in Fujian. Chen Jinfeng's nominal father Chen Yan was posthumously named the governor of the Weiwu Army, and his mother Lu was posthumously named the lady of Changle County. As for her biological father, Houlun, for political needs, this relationship must be kept permanently confidential and cannot be made public, and there cannot be any posthumous title.
Chen Jinfeng's adoptive father Chen Kuangsheng spent almost his whole life to make Chen Jinfeng's effort and exhausted all his financial resources. He waited hard for more than ten years. When he thought that this investment would definitely lose all his money, he waited for an unexpected surprise in despair. Chen Jinfeng, who became the queen, did not forget this adoptive father who carefully trained himself. Chen Kuangsheng quickly entered the political arena of Fujian and served as the palace envoy.
Chen Kuangsheng's life experience has developed to this point, which is a happy ending. If he can end well, his story will surely become a successful case of strange goods. But two years later, Chen Kuangsheng ushered in the ending, which is just the ending of his life.
Chen Shouyuan, the immortal Taoist Chen Shouyuan, was the number one hero of Wang Yanjun ascended the throne, so he naturally had to be rewarded. In addition to taking office as the palace master of Baohuang Palace, Chen Shouyuan was also given the title of Mr. Dongzhen by Wang Yanjun, who was already a real national teacher of the Fujian Kingdom.
However, Chen Shouyuan, the national teacher, is completely different from the national teacher Zao Guang a few years ago. Zao Guang's national teacher is only a title. In addition to persuading Wang Yanjun to be kind and kill less, Zao Guang rarely interferes in national affairs. But Chen Shouyuan is different. He is a national teacher who is quite "duty and responsible". In addition to normal religious affairs, he likes to participate in discussions on military and political affairs of the Fujian State, and sometimes plays a leading role, and of course, it is mostly not a good role.
For a time, officials from all over the Fujian Kingdom followed Chen Shouyuan's leader. Many officials naturally bribed Chen Shouyuan to give gifts in order to promote and do business. Chen Shouyuan refused everyone, and the immortal way also wanted to eat, drink, defecate and enjoy life.
Under the recommendation of Chen Shouyuan, a group of famous Taoist figures joined Wang Yanjun's religious affairs department to cultivate Wang Yanjun into immortals and serve to eliminate demons. The previous wizards Xu Yanlin, Sheng Tao and others were of course also absorbed by Chen Shouyuan to join his religious team, and jointly realize Wang Yanjun's 60th year of Emperor Daluo, Daluo, and the emperor of Wang Yanjun for the 60th year.
Work hard on the beautiful dream of the Immortal Lord.
Chen Jinfeng is the queen, and his main task is to accompany Wang Yanjun to have fun. Chen Shouyuan is the immortal way, and his main job is to communicate with gods and help Wang Yanjun find secrets to become immortals. As for the real military and political affairs of the Min Kingdom, Wang Yanjun knew that it would definitely not work with them, and he also had to rely on the former civil servants and military generals of the Min Kingdom.
The eldest son Wang Jipeng, who has been identified as the heir of Wang Yanjun, naturally had to hold heavy power. Wang Jipeng was named King Fu, appointed as the Right Pushe, the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, and the Tong Pingzhangshi, Li Min was appointed as the Left Pushe, the Secretariat of the Sect, and Tong Pingzhangshi, Wu Xu was appointed as the Privy Councilor, and Zhou Weiyue was appointed as the Hanlin Bachelor.
The appointment of these officials is not very good, but it seems to be unsatisfactory. His son Wang Jipeng has long been adultery and has the ability to handle political affairs independently. His subordinates Li Min, Wu Xu, and Zhou Weiyue are not treacherous people. Wu Xu is also an official who has been in charge of military and political affairs for many years, which is quite popular. As long as Wang Yanjun no longer makes trouble, the protection of the country's territory will not be a problem.
Just when Wang Yanjun was immersed in the joy of becoming emperor in the south, the Later Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains sent envoys to Fujian. Since Wang Yanjun had just become emperor, the Later Tang Dynasty had no idea that Wang Yanjun had already claimed to be emperor without authorization. When the envoys sent by Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty, Pei Jie and Cheng Kan came to Fuzhou excitedly, they were facing a very embarrassing situation. Wang Yanjun, the younger brother of the Later Tang Dynasty, had already proclaimed himself emperor, so what they encountered was no longer the warm welcome they had before, but were treated coldly.
Pei Jie was quite lucky. He was appointed as the envoy of Rujing by Wang Yanjun, responsible for going back to report to Li Siyuan the latest situation in the State of Min. Cheng Kan was quite depressed and was taken hostage by Wang Yanjun and detained in the State of Min.
If Wang Yanjun completely turned against the former boss, wouldn't Wang Yanjun be afraid of Li Siyuan's turn against him? Wang Yanjun was really lucky. Although the Later Tang and Min Kingdom were separated by Yang Wu Kingdom and Wu Yue Kingdom, if Li Siyuan really wanted to deal with Wang Yanjue, there would be some way. However, the Later Tang Dynasty at this time was full of crises and troubles!
There were constant rebellions in Shu, which had been eliminated by the Later Tang Dynasty. After suppressing the rebellion of Dongchuan, Meng Zhixiang, the governor of Xichuan, had already left the Later Tang Dynasty and became a new vassal state. Li Siyuan could no longer show the style of the former god of war. He was nearly 70 years old. The powerful minister An Chonghui in the court was arrogant, and his heir Li Congrong was arrogant, and the chaos in the court was no longer controlled.
Under such circumstances, Li Siyuan was unlikely to pay attention to Wang Yanjun who was hiding in the southeast corner to proclaim himself emperor. He offended the former boss without any trouble. Looking at the whole world, there is no one in Wang Yanjun's eyes that he could fear. But there is one person who Wang Yanjun is still quite afraid of, that is, his ancestors, Comrade Baohuang, Wang Ba, and no one can offend him.
In May of the first year of Longqi, an earthquake occurred in Fuzhou. According to the predictions of wizards such as Xiandao Chen Shouyuan and Xu Yanlin, the ground shock in Fuzhou this time was very likely to be that Wang Babaohuang was angry. The reason for his anger was very simple, and Wang Yanjun was not sincere enough.
Emperor Bao was angry, and Wang Yanjun was very nervous. Since he was not sincere enough, Wang Yanjun naturally had to express his sincerity to Emperor Bao again. The way was very simple to continue to become a monk and become a Taoist priest. So the emperor of Fujian, Wang Yanjun, avoided his position to practice Taoism twice, and his eldest son Wang Jipeng continued to preside over the government and acted as the acting position of Wang Yanjun. However, Wang Yanjun avoided his position to practice Taoism for too short,
He only persisted for more than two months. In July of the first year of Longqi, Wang Yanjun was restored to the Emperor of Fujian again.
The court officials of the Fujian Kingdom were already troubled by Wang Yanjun's behavior. Just as everyone thought that Wang Yanjun had been a Taoist priest several times and had learned the way of cultivating life for several months, he should have been calmed down for a while, but his troubles continued. Shortly after the second reset, Wang Yanjun began to set up a position of national economy envoy in the Fujian Kingdom.
The responsibility of the National Economy Envoy is to be responsible for managing the national finances, mainly managing the three departments of salt, iron, branch and Ministry of Revenue. In fact, it is to control the economic affairs of the entire country. Wang Yanjun believes that since he is the Supreme Emperor of the Nine Five, he must conduct daily consumption according to the emperor's standards. It is obvious that the economic and fiscal revenue of the Fujian State cannot meet the ideal goals he expected. He must make a big fuss in the financial and economic aspects, and it is naturally imperative to set up the National Economy Envoy.
Of course, it is difficult to make the treasury of Fujian's treasury just by setting up a national economy envoy, and it is also necessary to choose an ideal and qualified national economy envoy. Xue Wenjie, a low-level official who was usually unknown and famous, was promoted by Wang Yanjun to become the national economy envoy of Fujian.
Xue Wenjie was originally an ordinary Central Army envoy, but he had many specialties, such as being clever and good at dealing with each other, good at making money and flattering. Wang Yanjun believed that those with the above specialties must be the top masters in gathering money and making money. Therefore, Wang Yanjun gave Xue Wenjie an important task to help Wang Yanjun enrich the treasury of the Fujian Kingdom. As for what means and what methods to use, Wang Yanjun ignored it, not only the process, but only the result.
Xue Wenjie did not disappoint Wang Yanjun. After becoming the national economy envoy of Fujian, he did his job very well. The treasury of Fujian quickly really had a lot of real money. However, the methods used by Xue Wenjie were very problematic.
Generally speaking, as the top leader in governing the country's economic and financial affairs, if you want to increase the country's financial income significantly, it is nothing more than a common method such as reforming the tax system or adjusting the industry's economic structure. Xue Wenjie's main method of accumulating money and amassing money sounds incredible, and it is actually a blackmail to the wealthy businessmen and tyrants in Fujian.
After becoming the national economy envoy, Xue Wenjie immediately sent his confidants to be undercover at the wealthy businessmen's houses in Fuzhou City. His main task was to eavesdrop on the private conversations of the wealthy businessmen. If he found any complaints about the Fujian court or Wang Yanjun, Xue Wenjie immediately sent troops to arrest these wealthy businessmen and waited for their offer.
Being arrested is not to cure the crimes of these wealthy businessmen. It is normal to complain privately and not to be convicted. Xue Wenjie wants the effect that if he wants to release and pay for the redeem, he will release him first!
Rich businessmen are willing to lose money and eliminate disasters. Everyone is willing to be extorted some money than to be imprisoned. Through this shameless method, Xue Wenjie quickly makes money. Of course, while helping Wang Yanjun make money, he also helps himself become rich.
In addition to wealthy businessmen, if Xue Wenjie is in a bad mood, he will also attack ordinary people. As long as his undercover spies have intelligence reports, Xue Wenjie will catch ordinary people and knock them down! If he encounters some iron roosters, miseres, etc., he will refuse to pay money. Xue Wenjie also has a way to deal with it, torture and torture until he begs for mercy and pays money.
