Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Chapter 207 Pledge of Allegiance to the Death

The piece of land that Zhu Youjian was interested in finally fell into his hands after Tian Boguang's treatment. This made him relieved that the construction of his Royal Military Academy could finally begin.

Regarding the handling of the three presiding judges, Zhu Youjian faced strong pressure from the civil service group headed by Qian Qianyi and others, but he finally chose to compromise, or in other words, it was a tacit exchange among everyone.

The three presiding officers were not dismissed, but were demoted to serve as county magistrates in remote and impoverished mountainous counties. Whether they can survive depends on their ability. Local powerful people are not easy to mess with. , if you offend them, you are lucky to pack up and leave, otherwise you may disappear from the world.

The status of the three people in the Donglin Party is not low. After a few years, after the limelight has passed, under the operation of the Donglin Party, there will still be a chance for their officials to be reinstated, at least on the surface.

This is a trick played by Zhu Youjian and the Donglin Party. The purpose is to deceive. In his heart, these three people have been on his blacklist. They will never be transferred back in this life. They will either resign or die of old age. over there.

As a result, more than twenty officials, large and small, were implicated in the case, including Wang Jingtai, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. All of these people were dismissed and will never be hired.

Many positions were vacated at once, which made all parties covetous and wanted to get involved. However, the Donglin Party, which had always been strong and controlled the court, remained silent, as if it had nothing to do with them.

In fact, silence means giving up. This is also a transaction between Zhu Youjian and the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youjian not only gave three of the vacant positions to Ruan Dacheng as rewards, but also gave two or three to other weak factions, and he kept the rest for his own people.

It is necessary to cultivate cronies who are loyal to oneself. These so-called cronies are students from poor families who do not have any power background, have not joined the Donglin Party, Jiangnan Faction or other messy organizations, and have not been infected with too many bad habits of officialdom.

"If you are loyal to me, I will give you a bright future. If you betray me, I will kill your three clans."

Zhu Youjian summoned a few selected students from poor families and made his remarks clear in front of them.

As a time-traveler, he doesn't like the literati's way of being subtle and leaving half behind, leaving you guessing. Instead, he clearly spells out his words and puts them on the table, forcing them to choose sides.

He didn't want to support a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to repay his kindness and cheated on others. Although he could kill his three tribes for revenge, it would waste a lot of his time and energy. He didn't have much time and energy to waste now.

"Students must be loyal to the emperor and swear loyalty to the emperor."

Several students knelt down and swore allegiance. Their faces were red with excitement and they couldn't help themselves. Some even had tears in their eyes with excitement.

They were all the top picks in high school, and at worst they were college champions. According to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, they should have taken office long ago. However, in the workplace of the Ming Dynasty, there were so many official positions. They had to wait for the current employees to retire or have some accidents before they could find vacancies. Only then can arrangements be made to take office.

Without connections or money to give gifts, these candidate officials could only wait and watch helplessly those with connections and money to give gifts took office before them. They could do nothing but sigh and be dissatisfied.

Now, the emperor has given them this perfect opportunity that they may not have been able to wait for N years. It is like a pie falling from the sky. How can they not be extremely excited?

Isn't it right to be loyal to the emperor? They studied hard for ten years in a cold window, in order to bring goods to the emperor's family, to honor their ancestors, and to be famous in history.

Of course, they are all college bullies with high IQs, and the emperor has already put everything on the table. If they still dare to betray the emperor, then they have nothing to say and just wait for the emperor to behead them.

It doesn't matter if you die, your family will also lose their heads and punish the three tribes. Although the emperor said this with a smile on his face and said it lightly, as if he was joking, they believed it. , if it really comes to that point, the emperor will definitely kill these three tribes without hesitation.

For the sake of their own bright future, for the glory of returning home in glory, for the sake of honoring their ancestors, and for the sake of being famous in history, they must swear allegiance to the emperor. Even if they are enemies of the world, they must cling to the emperor's biggest dragon's leg.

"Ping Sheng, remember what I said, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down." Zhu Youjian said with satisfaction and reminded him again.

He doesn't like threatening others very much, but sometimes, for some things, only threats are effective, even if he doesn't want to do it.
