What is charcoal? The so-called charcoal is just a way for subordinates to please their superiors in order to get promoted and make money. Of course, it also includes the Bing Jing given to summer and the Farewell Jing when they part with officials. There are many names and various ways, but they are still inseparable from them. I hope that the money invested in will be rewarded.

What if we don’t get satisfactory returns? Our Prince Ke Miankai is an example. Since Prince Ke Miankai failed to save Qiying from Liu Ji’s hands, the Tan Jing, who has been filial to Prince Ke, this year is no longer as good as in previous years.

Miankai asked the housekeeper to send off Shanxi Governor Qiu Shutang, and threw the charcoal that Qiu Shutang gave him from the table to the ground. Several large ingots rolled brightly in the lights, and the wooden boards containing silver ingots made a thud along the way. The servant who was so scared that he lowered his head and hurried out to hide outside the house.

Miankai quickly grabbed a slow-moving maid. The ribbon on the maid's waist was dragged and pulled back by Miankai. At the age of 28 and her finger-breaking skin made Miankai wish that she could hold the woman born in the coat.

Miankai grabbed the maid's back collar and pulled it hard. His snow-white and round shoulders and white and slender neck were exposed to Miankai's bloodshot eyes. Miankai pounced on him and gently bit the girl's smooth skin, dragging the girl under him.

..., the unhappiness in my heart gradually disappeared with each sprint. Miankai did not pity the woman who had just opened her bud, and once again sprinted into the girl's delicate body, causing crystal tears to drip from the girl's eyes that hurt...

After a long time, Miankai turned over, gasped, and lay comfortably in the brocade quilt. There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he cursed in his heart: "The news has been sent out in the palace. You Qiu Shutang, who is ignorant of affairs, are waiting to be defeated."

Liu Ji's heart was filled with anger. He had just received a secret memorial sent by Jia Daxia, a member of the Ministry of Justice. This Jia Daxia, a fifth-rank official from a capital city, could not see Liu Ji. The secret memorial was handed over to Liu Ji by Liang Zhongjing, the imperial envoy of the Censorate.

A major injustice was written in the secret memorial. The matter started with Zhao Ergu in Yuci County, Shanxi and his neighbor Yan Sihu. Zhao Ergu was sued to the county government with hatred. This was originally a simple case. Yan Sihu committed the crime and sentenced him according to the Qing Dynasty laws. But the matter was not that simple. It turned out that Lu Xiling, the magistrate of Yuci County, Shanxi, decided that the case was adultery because he accepted the bribes from the defendant Yan Sihu. It would be fine if he met an honest and cowardly person. I can't afford to offend you. I will accept it myself and go home to farm and don't provoke you. But Zhao Ergu is not, she is an admirable woman, Zhao with grief and anger

Second Aunt committed suicide by stabbing himself in court during the second trial. Can Zhao Ergu's death shake the conscience of the magistrate Lu Xiling? Her death could not help but make Lu Xiling feel uneasy. Lu Xiling also falsely accused Zhao Tianzhong, who defended his niece Zhao Ergu, of killing people in the court, and instigated the county officials in the church to provide perjury. After that, Zhao Ergu's father Zhao Tianhe went to the Taiyuan Prefecture Office to appeal. Taiyuan Prefecture Shen Cong protected him very much and decided to commit adultery during the review. Zhao Ergu's mother Cao fell on the steps of the palace in anger. Zhao Tianhe suppressed his grief and anger, and carried his wife on the verge of dying, and came to the Shanxi Governor's office to sue, but he still maintained the original verdict.

He called the sky, but the sky did not respond. He shouted the earth, but the earth was not effective. In desperation, Zhao Tian and his wife returned to Yuci County with their wounded and painful wife. Zhao Ergu's death did not shock these corrupt officials, but won the respect of the elders of their hometown. There were as many as 10,000 civilians from far and near to visit. With the help of everyone, Zhao Tian and his wife went to Beijing to file a lawsuit again. This lawsuit was filed with Jia Daxia, a native of Taigu, Shanxi, the Ministry of Justice, and it also reached Liu Ji's ears.

Liu Ji felt his heart was bleeding. This era was so decayed to this extent. Officials protected each other and were in a state of turmoil. He threw a piece of blue and white porcelain in his hand far away. The "clang" sound made Eunuch Cao so scared that he was silent. Why did the emperor, who had rarely got angry, suddenly get angry? Dong Haichuan, who was on duty nearby, rushed over and looked at Liu Ji who kicked the desk with a blank look at him at a loss.

Dong Haichuan only heard Liu Ji shouting loudly: "Call Da Yintai for me."

When Da Yintai arrived, the imperial study room was already in chaos and fragments were all over the ground. Liu Ji walked out of the house calmly and said to Da Yintai who was secretly guessing his intentions: "Go to the new military camp with me."

When Liu Ji and Da Yintai came to the new army camp at the foot of Xiangshan, his anger was already suppressed. Before leaving the palace, Liu sent two decrees, and Mingli sent Na Qing'an to re-examine the case. In secret, Liu Ji sent Dong Haichuan to investigate. This time, he asked Dong Haichuan to go out, and Liu Ji also specially sent him a task, which was to select a group of loyal and righteous people from the world to bring them back to the court. Liu Ji had other plans.

I entered the new military camp just after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the aiming of the firearms was being practiced on the training ground in the camp.

Rows of new soldiers on the playground were wearing green military uniforms designed by Liu Ji himself, holding a flintlock gun purchased from Portuguese merchants, and carefully aiming at the human-shaped target in front of them.

This scene made Liu Ji's heart active. He smiled at Gong Zizhen who came to greet him and said, "Ye Yu, you are tanned. Have you learned to use a foreign gun?"

Gong Zizhen smiled before he could speak, his eyes flashed brightly on his tanned and thin face: "Your Majesty, I have abandoned my pen and turned over to the army and read many military books from my predecessors, but I have never seen the training method written in the book. I think this training method is something that has never been written in the military books. I wonder where the emperor came from?"

Yang Luchan, who was welcomed together, seemed to have this idea, and listened carefully on the side.

When it comes to Xinjun, Liu Ji's unhappiness has gone.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked into the camp with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment and thought of an excuse, "You two dear friends may not believe it. The military books left by Qianming often mention the practice of firearms. He is already very skilled in the use of firearms. I was inspired to think of many ways to practice them."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji asked in a different way: "How are the sixty-five officers who I personally teach every day performing now? If these people are not good, please replace them. Have you conveyed my decree to them?"

"According to the emperor's instructions, we have already said that officers are selected from soldiers at one level. If they are not competent, they will be demoted. In the future, the upgrade of officers will be based on military merits, and those without military merits will not be promoted."

Hearing Yang Luchan's answer, Liu Ji nodded. Unconsciously, the group walked to the 11th team of the Fourth Battalion of the 2nd Association of the First Town of the New Army. A team officer lined up in front shouted with a hoarse voice: "Attention, look to the right."

Only a "swish" sound was heard, and hundreds of people neatly put away their guns and arranged their formations. With the "stand at attention" command, Liu Ji and others were already in front of them a neat horizontal formation like five straight lines.

Liu Ji watched the short and strong team officer run towards him, and his face turned into a bronze colored look solemn. He stood at attention cleanly, raised his hand and saluted, shouting loudly: "Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the 11th Team of the Fourth Battalion of the Second Association of the New Army, led all the officers and soldiers to salute His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to instruct his next action."
