The weather is getting hotter and in June, the temperature in Beijing continues to rise, making people feel a bit unbearable. At this time, Jingcha officially began.

Zhu Youxiao fanned his fan in the palace and enjoyed the Beijing Cha drama of the Donglin Party.

"Your Majesty, this is the iced bayberry soup just made in the imperial kitchen and the iced watermelon." Yang Guang and the two eunuchs in the imperial kitchen came in to learn about the summer products.

On hot weather, watermelon is Zhu Youxiao’s favorite! The iced bayberry soup is also very good. Before Zhu Youxiao took it, she looked carefully.

Yang Guang thought to himself that the emperor must be worried about whether he had been poisoned.

They were not surprised by the emperor's suspicion, because he made Emperor Guangzong die too strange. When the iced bayberry soup was brought out, the two eunuchs in the imperial kitchen were staring at them all the way, following them all the way to the Yangxin Palace, for fear that they would be poisoned by others in the middle.

Yang Guang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will give you a try!"

"Okay, you can try it first!" Zhu Youxiao smiled. Looking at the seductive iced watermelon, it would be helpless if he didn't dare to eat it directly! If he was not careful, who would know that one day he would be hit in a confused way.

Yang Guang ate two slices of watermelon, drank some bayberry soup, and then he was still lively. Then Zhu Youxiao picked up the watermelon and started to eat it with confidence.

After a while, Li Jinzhong came in. Not long ago, Li Jinzhong told the emperor that he wanted to shine on his family, so he changed his surname and gave himself the name "Zhongxian" and then called him Wei Zhongxian.

After becoming a big eunuch, naturally, you cannot use other people's surnames, otherwise how can you return home in glory?

Of course, Zhu Youxiao had no objection, so the famous Wei Zhongxian in history finally appeared. Wei Zhongxian was born in poverty and could not support him when he was a child, so he had to send him into the palace.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian changed his name and immediately sent someone home, sent 5,000 taels of silver to his family, and adopted two children from his two brothers to serve as his stepsons.

The money Wei Zhongxian gave to his family was all the salary given by the emperor.

After the founding of the Han Imperial Party, the party supported the integrity with high salaries. The salaries of these eunuchs, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were already very high.

Wei Zhongxian also had a salary of tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year. If he found a major case, he would also have rewards. However, the corruption and bribery were severely warned by Zhu Youxiao, and the income in this regard had been cut off. Wei Zhongxian had a stepson and had concerns in his actions, which was something Zhu Youxiao was happy to see.

"Emperor, the first list of officials investigated and dealt with by the Donglin Party in Jingjing has been released. Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Chuzhe Propaganda Party, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi were all investigated and dismissed." Wei Zhongxian presented a list to Zhu Youxiao and continued: "In addition, dozens of people are dealing with it. This time, the Donglin Party is to drive all the Qi Chuzhe Propaganda Party out of the Qi Chuzhe Propaganda Party."

Zhu Youxiao showed a bright smile on his face, and finally came.

Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi, as the leaders of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Xuan Party, did not hold high positions in the court, and were all staff members of various departments.

However, for these parties, the leader of the party does not necessarily need to hold a high position. It mainly depends on their respective connections and how many younger brothers they can have. Then one person can achieve enlightenment and become an official is to be on the thigh of the emperor.

The younger brothers can charge in the battle of corruption and bribery, the same party and the same party attacks against strangers. Just like supporting Guangzong Zhu Changluo to the throne, and the case of the palace transfer, the representative figure of the Donglin Party's charge in the battle was Yang Lian. The case of the palace transfer was liquidated by Zhu Youxiao, and Ye Xianggao and other bigwigs had nothing to do.

Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, Wu Liangsi and the Donglin Party naturally had a "deep hatred". Previously, these people were the leaders of the "Xinhai Jingchao" and almost expelled the Donglin Party.

The first year of Tianqi is the year of Xinyou, and it has been ten years since the last Xinhai Jingchao.

This time, later generations called it "Xinyou Jingcha". This time, the Donglin Party of Jingchao was vigorous and decisive, almost expelling all the members of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Propaganda Party.

Under the court, dozens of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party officials were investigated and punished.

For the bigwigs of the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Propaganda Party, they were all greedy for wealth and were dismissed if they were dismissed. Anyway, they could become rich even when they went home.

However, for those mascots of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and Propaganda Party, it was an unbearable loss.

Paralysis! I have been studying hard for twenty or thirty years, and what can I do to seek official positions? It’s nothing more than status and wealth. Although I am not very good at being a horseman, I still have hope to survive. I was dismissed from my post and naturally felt so unhappy that I immediately formed a bond with the Donglin Party.

Although these Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Propaganda Party’s maids were very unhappy, the boss lost power in the court, and these little minions were unable to change anything, so they could only grit their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs.

As soon as the Beijing investigation result came out, Zhu Youxiao knew it was time to take action. He immediately asked Wei Zhongxian to contact the Qi Chuzhe Propaganda Party Massacre who was investigated and punished to form a new party.

As for Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, Wu Liangsi, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not reach out to pull them. If they were pulled up, wouldn’t Qi Chuzhe Xuan Party’s maids return to their seats to obey orders? These guys were dismissed, which gave Zhu Youxiao the opportunity to incorporate their maids.

These maids are not famous enough and have insufficient connections, so they will find it difficult to have the ability to violate Zhu Youxiao for a while.

Want to make a comeback? Want to be promoted?

No problem, as long as you are obedient, all of these are available.

Zhu Youxiao's political skills have made some progress recently. He remembered a sentence that Yuan Shikai said in the late Qing Dynasty: He held a knife in one hand and silver in the other, and rewarded the ones who were obedient, while those who were disobedient were rewarded.

After contacting a group of horsemen, Zhu Youxiao was able to attack the big bosses of the Donglin Party.

"Hey, next year's military expenditure seems to be settled." Zhu Youxiao thought happily that this year's military expenditure had to be pieced together to get it out. However, Li Sancai's assets made Zhu Youxiao's fortune, which made the military expenditure suddenly relax. However, next year's military expenditure is still a headache, which made Zhu Youxiao target Ye Xianggao and others.

It’s a pleasure to search the house, and the fortune hits the head with a thunderous amount.

As Zhu Youxiao General issued a large amount of military expenditure, Sun Chengzong's hands suddenly became more affordable. The Ming army continued to strengthen the Guangning defense line for several days and hoarded a large amount of food, grass, gunpowder, arrowhead and other combat supplies in Guangning.

At this time, the Liaodong Ming Army was not so serious because the court had military pay. The army was not as good as during the Chongzhen period. Only military officers could fight, and the rest of the Ming army was like abandoned. After Xiong Yanbi took office, the military discipline was rectified, and the Liaodong Ming Army was still good.

The so-called Guangning Iron Cavalry has not appeared yet, and Zu Dashou was only a relatively outstanding Liaodong military general at this time. After Sun Chengzong took office, he selected three military generals for cultivation, one was Zu Dashou, the second was Mangui, and the third was Zhao Shujiao. He also reorganized the Liaodong Ming Army.

In general, the Liaodong Ming army was still under the control of the court at this time, and the warlord problem was not too serious, but it had a prototype.

As long as the court's military pay is continuous, these warlords will not be able to develop. After all, if the court has paid, the Ming soldiers do not need to rely on these generals to survive.

After receiving the imperial edict, Sun Chengzong also transferred most of the craftsmen in the Ming army to the Royal Military Factory, leaving only some craftsmen responsible for repairing equipment.

At the same time, the Royal Military Factory also sent a large number of equipment for Sun Chengzong to choose and purchase.

However, the weapons and equipment manufactured by the Royal Military Factory are obviously not very sound, and many equipment are not produced. For example, there are no three-eyed guns, bows, and crossbows.

In order to meet the front-line orders, the Royal Military Factory has begun to develop and manufacture these equipment. After all, it is not business, and the demand for weapons and equipment by other Ming troops is also different. Zhu Youxiao felt that before the Beijing camp model was completely explored, the sudden change of the equipment structure of the front-line Ming troops may cause problems.
