Chapter 19 Ask Who Dominates the Ups and Downs of the Vast Earth?

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past two days, Zhu Youzhen has been thinking about how to avoid hanging himself on the southeast branch, and who should he trust? Wenchen, military general, or eunuch?

However, one thing is certain, the vast majority of these civil officials of the Donglin Party are unreliable.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne, the environment for the period from the seventh year of the Apocalypse to the first year of Chongzhen.

From a political point of view and from a military point of view, it is very good.

In this world, Wei Zhongxian was not killed by Zhu Youzhen, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei still have the deterrent power and ability they deserve. This shows that Zhu Youzhen still has strength in his hands, which is a good thing!

In a way, Wei Zhongxian, as the emperor's domestic slave, is more reliable than those "righteous gentlemen".

At that time, when the army entered the city of Beijing, most of the people who died in the battle were eunuchs - as for the civil and military ministers and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, they had already "eaten pot pulp to welcome the king".

Although these people were finally forced by King Chuang to hand over the spirit stone (in history, it is silver, here is the spirit stone, everyone understand), it can be regarded as a bad breath to Emperor Chongzhen!

"Wang Chengen, Tian Ergeng of Zhao Jin Yiwei, and Wei Zhongxian came to see me. Wang Chengen took the order and left.

When Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng came to see Chongzhen, Chongzhen sat there with a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

"The old slave Wei Zhongxian, the minister Tian Ergeng, knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live. ”

Wei Zhongxian and Tian Legeng, who were kneeling below, speculated in their hearts about Emperor Chongzhen's intention in summoning the two late at night.

Especially Wei Zhongxian, after all, the impeachment of him by the Donglin Party a few days ago was quite ferocious, and it is difficult to guarantee that Zhu Youzhen will not push him out.

Although Zhu Youzhen has promised him, but the emperor's inheritance can be listened to, if it is serious, it will be "hehe"!

Although Wei Zhongxian felt that there should be other problems, he was not sure.

So it's inevitable that there will be some uneasiness. As time went by, the two of them were thinking more and more, and they couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

Just when fine sweat was already breaking out on the foreheads of the two of them, Chongzhen behind the imperial case also spoke: "Wei Zhongxian, tell me, is this Ming Dynasty me, or is it from the Donglin Party, or is it from the people of the world?"

Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground, had his mind racing, but he couldn't guess what Chongzhen meant by saying this.

It seems that he didn't guess wrong, the emperor was really dissatisfied with the Donglin Party, and he didn't want to push himself out.

Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Chongzhen continued: "You can get up." Dig up, and get up. ”

After the two of them thanked each other, Chongzhen's words scared Wei Zhongxian to kneel down again: "Is this brocade guard of mine my pro-army, or Wei Zhongxian or the pro-army of the Donglin Party?"

Wei Zhongxian was scared half to death, because he knew that this alone could kill him, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The old slave is guilty, and the old slave will die!"

Tian Ergeng couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do, did he want to take down Wei Zhongxian or the Donglin Party by himself?

Dead friends don't die poor Dao, die you Wei Zhongxian or Donglin Party, it's good if I can survive, as long as the emperor lets me live, I can bite anyone!

With this thought, Tian Ergeng also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this brocade guard is naturally the emperor's pro-army! The ministers are naturally loyal to the emperor. ”

Chongzhen still said "hmm" with a faint smile on his face, and said to the two: "Get up." ”

Chongzhen saw that the beating was almost done, so he spoke again, but said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Zhongxian, you must always remember that you are my house slave, and you are nothing without me. Got it?"

Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to speak, Chongzhen's next words made Wei Zhongxian's heart tighten: "Zhongxian, tell me, there are a lot of guards in this Ming Dynasty, why are they more and more erosive?"

So much so that those post-golden demons were deceived so far?

The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, but why is this treasury getting poorer and poorer?

Wei Zhongxian's heart was the same as Mingjing: Thinking about it again, anyway, didn't you Zhu Youzhen promise that I wouldn't die, then I would boldly say directly: "Back to the emperor's words, although the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, but this tax is only collected from farmers, how many spirit stones can the people have?"

The real rich are those wealthy businessmen, but they are inextricably linked with the Donglin Party, and this commercial tax cannot be collected.

As soon as the imperial court collects it, the Donglin Party will again shout that it must not compete with the people.

As for those demon clans in Liaodong, Liaodong is bitter, but there are many wealthy businessmen who ignore the country for the sake of interests.

They sold weapons, grain and grass privately to that side. Even, they dare to sell the intelligence of the border army, and this will go on for a long time......"

Wei Zhongxian didn't say the rest of the words, it may not be useful to say it all thoroughly, say half and leave half, let the emperor think about it slowly.

I'm not afraid that he wants to, I'm afraid that he doesn't want to. As long as you can think about it, when the time comes, the trouble will be brought to the Donglin Party, and you won't do your father-in-law's business!

After Zhu You listened, he frowned, and the frightened Tian Ergeng thought that the emperor was furious, and thought that this time he was dead.

At the same time, Tian Ergeng also scolded Wei Zhongxian half to death in his heart and greeted the women of his family.

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said, "Although what you said is a bit extreme, it is still reasonable. ”

Zhu Youzhen's voice was still cold, but to Wei Zhongxian's ears, this cold voice was like listening to the sounds of heaven.

Looking at this situation, the emperor is dissatisfied with the Donglin Party! And he doesn't want to push me out!

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, whose old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, Chongzhen turned the conversation to Tian Ergeng again: "Tian Ergeng, I want Jinyiwei to have the prestige and ability of the Yongle period, can you do it?"

I don't look at the means, I don't look at the good or the bad, I only look at the effect. Of course, if you do a good job, not only will I not kill you, but I will also make you prosperous and rich for a lifetime, how about it?"

Tian Ergeng was both surprised and happy when he heard this, and he was surprised that he was afraid that the emperor would really find someone to do it for him, because that meant that he was not far from death.

The joy is that not only can he live, but in front of people, he is still the commander of the majestic brocade guards.

Thinking of this, Tian Ergeng knelt down in a panic and said: "The minister will serve the death force for long live, and he will not give up!"

Chongzhen just said to Tian Ergeng: "I will ask you to do an errand today." If you do it well, you are still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and if you do it badly, you will cut yourself. The dynasty does not raise waste. Do you understand?"

Tian Ergeng complained bitterly, knowing that Chongzhen didn't know how big a pot he would throw on his back, but he didn't dare to say anything, just bowed his head and said, "Please show the emperor." The minister will do his best and never give up!"

Tian Ergeng ran on the ground and waited for Chongzhen's orders, only to hear Chongzhen's "hmm", and said: "Thirty days, I will only give you one month, I want to know the cabinet princes, as well as the six Shangshu and the squire each worth of their respective family property."

I don't care what method or means you use, it just so happens that Wei Zhongxian's majesty is still there, so I will understand this matter. Otherwise, you're useless. ”

Turning around, Chongzhen said domineeringly to Wei Zhongxian: "And you, take out the prestige of your factory father, I don't want to be fooled by those bastards of the Donglin Party!"
