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

Chapter 64: Repaying others with their own methods

There were so many memorials to impeach Tian Boguang, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards, that Zhu Youjian's Long Case was piled up. However, these memorials were quickly moved away and burned by several young eunuchs commanded by Wang Chengen.

In the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Youjian looked at the ten large wooden boxes stacked in front of him. He opened the lids to reveal gold, silver, various valuable jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and real estate title deeds. He nodded with satisfaction.

good.

Jin Yiwei raided Ding's house and found out nearly three million taels of silver worth of property, which replenished his small treasury. Zhu Youjian was very satisfied.

Tian Boguang, who was standing by with his hands hanging down, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the huge pressure from the Donglin Party, he insisted on turning the case into a solid case. There were so many memorials to impeach him. If the emperor didn't support him, he would probably be dead. This guy has been taken down and is in jail eating his food.

Old rules. Zhu Youjian pointed to several large wooden boxes containing antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and said to Tian Boguang.

Wei Chen understands. Tian Boguang responded quickly.

The emperor's old rule was that he should dispose of these valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, cash them all, and keep 20% of the income as expenses for Jin Yiwei, and hand over the rest.

In fact, he could have made a fortune by ransacking homes, helping the emperor sell palace collections, and disposing of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings obtained from the confiscation of homes, etc., but he still resisted the huge temptation.

Tian Boguang knew very well that as long as he sat firmly on the throne of the commander of the Jinyiwei, he would not be afraid of having no money in the future, and he would be able to honor his ancestors. If he was greedy for this little money, he would lose not only the throne of the commander of the Jinyiwei, but also the trust and favor of the emperor. , he might even have his neck cut off to eat the guy, all idiots know how to calculate this business.

Also, find a few scholars with good writing skills to polish their pens and write more beautifully about all the evil things done by the Ding family, and stop those people's mouths. Remember, people must be reliable.

Zhu Youjian threw the secret document submitted by Tian Boguang at Tian Boguang's feet. He had read the secret document and listed all the evil things the Ding family had done over the years. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to take home several copies. .

The Ding family deserved their death, so he let Tian Boguang ransack his home without any psychological pressure.

What the Donglin Party is best at is using public opinion to stir up people's hearts and gain strong support from ignorant people. He asked Tian Boguang to do this, and he was just using his own methods to repay others.

Yes. Tian Boguang responded and bent down to pick up the dense fold. The slightly raised corners of his lips could not conceal his inner excitement.

Look, this is the emperor's favor for him. If it were someone else, would he be treated like this? hey-hey.

After Tian Boguang left the palace and returned to the Jinyi Guards Office, the first thing he did was to summon a few of his close men and ask them to find ways to recruit a few talented and reliable scholars.

After the resumption of Jin Yiwei, he has been secretly recruiting people to expand the establishment and strength of Jin Yiwei. There is indeed a shortage of scribes like recorders and they need to recruit more. Also, he should find some people who can help him with suggestions. The counselor is the master.

The Ming Dynasty was talented, but due to lack of background and connections, there were many scholars who had never achieved success. There were also many who were so miserable that they could not even eat three meals a day. Perhaps some scholars were unwilling to serve as Jinyiwei due to their integrity and other reasons. To work, there are still many scholars who really can't survive and are willing to do anything in order to support their families, let alone get a salary as an official.

My wife and children are starving to death, why should I talk about morality?

Tian Boguang's close confidants wandered around the streets and brought back to Tian Boguang a dozen scholars with good writing skills.

Although these scholars are all sallow and thin, their clothes are shabby, and they have numerous patches, they still look arrogant.

This is the character of a scholar. However, in front of Tian Boguang, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards, his character and arrogance are all fake. He is so miserable that he can no longer survive. He has to work for the notorious Jinyiwei. He will embrace Tian Boguang honestly. Thick thighs are the way to go.

This is not called losing integrity, this is called knowing the current affairs. Those who know the current affairs are heroes.

After Tian Boguang's assessment, a dozen scholars were all hired and became record officers of Jinyiwei. Then they worked together and spent half a day writing a gorgeous proclamation. After rubbing it, it was posted throughout the city. , Da Ming Pao even printed it in a large space on its front page.
