"In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for statistics. Starting from the first year of Tianqi, all salary arrears to officials will be paid out in full.
The distribution was completed in Northern Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places before the year.
Wait a little further until after the New Year, and let all officials have a good New Year. "
"I obey the decree!"
After Guo Yunhou responded, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, because of Wei Zhongxian's incident, a large number of officials were dismissed, imprisoned, and even had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. How should we deal with this kind of situation?"
"Obligation of salary is due to salary, and accountability is accountability. These are two different things.
What should be given must be given. If the rightful owner dies, it will be given to the family members. If the property is confiscated, it will be returned to the national treasury. "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he paused for a moment: "Remember, tell the people below who are distributing the salary, don't think that others have made mistakes and the rightful owner is dead, and then deduct it privately. If I find out, don't say that I am murderous."
"I understand!"
Guo Yunhou responded.
The ministers were very surprised by Chongzhen's treatment. They were surprised by the supplementary salary. Even the ministers who were dismissed or executed were compensated, which surprised them.
A perfect image of a wise king.
"Today's Youzheng moment, the cabinet will preside over the sealing ceremony of the officials outside the Meridian Gate. After the sealing is completed, the officials will have a holiday and retire from the court!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got off the platform directly and left the Huangji Hall.
After Chongzhen left, Sun Chengzong glanced at the other three pavilions: "You three, while all the adults are here, can we set some rules for the holiday?"
Han Huang and the other three nodded, asking everyone to wait a moment, and the four of them began to discuss.
In just a quarter of an hour, the four of them reached an agreement. Sun Chengzong stepped forward and looked at everyone.
"Youzheng is sealed at all times, and all officials have a holiday, but during the holiday, at least three people must be on duty in each department.
One of the ministers or above will be in charge of the work in case of emergencies in various places. Holidays during the duty period can be taken away.
Each ministry shall send the list and date of duty personnel of each ministry to the cabinet before the official time. The list shall be approved by the cabinet before it can take effect. Those without approval shall be treated as absent from duty without authorization. "
"Second, during the period of duty, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, go out, gather in groups to gamble, etc."
"Third, there are relatively few things during the duty period. Those on duty should not sit around and take advantage of this free time to sort out the problems within each department.
We will sort out what we need to do next year and hand it over to the cabinet when the printing press opens on the 19th day of the first lunar month. "
After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, his voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Everyone, please don't think that this pavilion is deliberately making things difficult for you. His Majesty has been on the throne for more than four months, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty has greatly improved. Since we are deprived of the emperor's salary, we should be loyal to the emperor.
I believe that under His Majesty’s guidance and with your assistance, we will be able to revive the Ming Dynasty.
I have put my words here. If you are in your position and plan your government, if you can do it well, do it with all your heart. If you don't want to, leave early.
Although the four people in this pavilion are a bit older, they are particularly murderous. If they dare to cheat, don't blame me for being unkind. "
When Sun Chengzong said this, he stared at everyone closely. Han Huang, Li Biao, and Li Guopu also stepped forward at the same time, staring at everyone closely.
Everyone was trembling in their hearts when they were looked at by the four people, and they all shouted in fear.
The four of them were very satisfied with the performance of the ministers. Regardless of whether these people were sincere or not, the four of them would definitely do what they said.
Reviving the Ming Dynasty was their wish, and no one was allowed to hold back.
"In addition, the Five City Inspection Department and the Punishment Department should pay attention. The New Year is approaching, and there are many activities such as temple fairs, lantern markets, and worshiping the Kitchen God.
Beware of problems such as theft, trouble, fire, fraud, etc.
The two ministries jointly issued an announcement that once the above-mentioned phenomenon occurs, those who take the initiative to provoke a stick of thirty, and repeat the crime three times will be imprisoned for one year. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Sun Ge, I'll understand later!"
Li Banghua, the admiral of the Five Cities Inspection Department, and Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishment, responded simultaneously.
"Finally, I would like to emphasize the rest and gifts again. If you are still dissatisfied, then think about the eighteen-day leave and salary during the Taizu and Chengzu periods. You will feel that you are much happier now.
Your Majesty is right, when you want to be an official, don't think about getting rich, and when you want to get rich, don't want to be an official. That's all. You can do your own thing...go and get busy! "
After some arrangements, everyone left.
Everyone was happy and sad. From now on, the local heating expenses in winter would be gone, but they would be given three months' salary as a gift.
Secondly, there are more holidays, but in the future it will definitely be impossible to fish, and the requirements will become higher.
What happened in Huangji Hall naturally reached the ears of Chongzhen in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Sun Chengzong's arrangement was undoubtedly in line with his wishes.
It has to be said that the four people of Sun Chengzong are very aware and dedicated. With them here, I can save a lot of things.
But they alone are not enough. After the New Year, he still has many things to do, and many things need people to do them.
Chongzhen frowned and racked his brains to recall those people who could be used.
"Your Majesty, Li Ruolian, is here to see you!"
While Chongzhen was meditating, Li Ruolian came in and interrupted his meditation.
"Li Aiqing, Baiguan Seal will have a holiday tomorrow, but the Jinyi Guards must not relax. You secretly send additional personnel to Da'ankou, Longjingguan, Hongshankou, and Zunhua.
Pay close attention to the movements in all directions and check if there are any slaves or people related to the slaves.
Remember, it is better to investigate less than to alert others. If there is any situation, report it immediately. You are not allowed to make decisions privately. "
"I accept the decree!"
Li Ruolian turned and left.
After arranging Li Ruolian's affairs, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Liaodong Town faced Jiannu, Jizhou Town faced the Mongolian tribes, and although Da'ankou was inconspicuous, an important thing happened in the second year of Chongzhen.
Historically, in the second year of Chongzhen's reign, Huang Taiji personally led the Eight Banners force to bypass Mongolia and directly knock on Da'ankou. After breaking through, they went straight to Zunhua.
Zunhua is an important town east of Beijing, but the strange thing is that when Jiannu attacked the city, an insider opened the city gate and Zunhua was lost.
From then on, there was no longer a place for defense on the outskirts of Jingdong. The slave army passed through Jimen, Sanhe, and Tongzhou and reached Beijing.
Various results show that Jiannu has already penetrated Zunhua and other cities and passes.
Although it happened in the second year of Chongzhen, we have to guard against it now.
Moreover, he wanted to trick Huang Taiji, so he had to prepare and plan early.
It was the end of the year and everyone had relaxed their vigilance. This situation was the time for slave building activities, so he sent people to investigate these places at this time.
All officials were sealed, there were no memorials, and there was no need to summon ministers for ceremonies. Chongzhen's life was quite nourishing.
Sleeping until he wakes up naturally, hugging him from left to right, also allowed him to experience the happiness of a faint king.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the first lunar month. When Chongzhen arrived at Huangji Hall, he was surprised by the scene in Huangji Hall.
