Wang Chengen slowly walked into the Wenhua Hall with the donation book, his face sweating.

When I handed over this booklet, I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to bear it, and if there was a rush of anger and stirred up the old problem of headache, it would be a sin.

But this errand couldn't be avoided after all, Chongzhen sent someone to urge, Wang Chengen had no choice but to hand over the donation book and put it on the imperial case, waiting for the emperor's thunderous anger.

Chongzhen picked up the donation book and stared at the paper for a quarter of an hour, which greatly surprised Wang Chengen's expectations, the emperor didn't have a seizure?

Chongzhen slowly got up with the donation book, paced a few steps in the hall, and finally stopped, squeezing out a sentence between his teeth: "Everyone in the book can be killed!" ”

In just a few numbers, Wang Chengen's heart was shocked, he fell to his knees with a thud, and when he looked at the donation book held in Chongzhen's hand again, he was suddenly startled, as if he saw a book of life and death......

Wang Chengen touched the bottom with his head and said: "The emperor is cautious, if you kill them, it will be in vain to achieve the reputation of those thieves, and the bad thing is the emperor's first saint......"

Chongzhen sneered again and again, with a chill in his voice: "These are my courtiers, the good courtiers of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more angry he became, there were at least hundreds of nearly a thousand Beijing officials above the seventh grade of the Beijing Division, and the total donation of 200,000 taels was only more than 200 taels for each person.

He knows about the corruption of officials, the state affairs are difficult, and this donation was borrowed in the name of the Ministry of Households, and it will be repaid in the future.

Chongzhen asked coldly: "When the prince was in Jiangnan, how did he raise military salaries?" ”

Wang Chengen replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince, one is to collect grain in Tuntian, and the other is to ...... The second is to investigate corrupt officials ......."

"Is it a raid? Wouldn't I? Chongzhen's voice suddenly rose and said, "Wang Chengen! ”

"Old slave in ......"

"Let your people carry my will, according to the list to borrow it again from door to door, except for those Qingshui yamen in the Hanlin Academy, all the yamen with real power, more than 1,000 taels above the seventh grade, 3,000 taels above the fourth grade, and 10,000 taels above the second grade, no one is missing!"

"Let the people of Dongchang check the officials who did not donate funds according to the standards one by one, and if they find corruption, they will be locked up directly!"

"The old slave obeys!" Wang Chengen retreated tremblingly.

Chongzhen looked outside the hall and shouted, "Wu Mengming! ”

"Humble duty!" The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Wu Mengming come in response.

Chongzhen took out a list from the dragon case and said slowly: "You personally take a group of Jinyi guards to Shanxi to investigate these businessmen on the list......."

........

In the next few days, a big drama of eunuch door-to-door service was staged in the Jingshi, and almost all the Beijing officials were assigned two eunuchs, and there was a shortage of everything in the imperial city, that is, there was no shortage of eunuchs, and tens of thousands of eunuchs were enough.

The officials were very angry, although they secretly didn't know how many ugly words they scolded, but the work on the surface still had to be done, and the ministers expressed their patriotic enthusiasm, but unfortunately they really had no money, and they had more than enough strength to do it.

A court official of the household department even went to the street to sell the furniture in the house and sell the real estate to prove that he was really "poor", and the hunting page of the "Huangming Times" immediately reported the incident.

"The official man actually sold his wealth on the street?"

"It's really rare to have such a strange thing in broad daylight, let's go, see the world!"

For a time, the flow of people in the streets and alleys of Beijing skyrocketed, and they all rushed to Qianmen Street to watch the excitement.

I saw that the official of the household was practicing his stall on the street, and the stall was full of pots and pans, and there was a sign next to it: Urgent sale of mansions, the price is negotiable.

The big one voted around the hall official of the household department and laughed, pointed, and sent a mobile phone to take a picture and send it to Moments.

Although the flow of people in front of the stall is so large, no one is willing to buy, to be precise, no one dares to buy, who buys it, and will not be tossed to death by these officials in the future?

After tossing for a long time, the official who did business had nothing to do, but the eunuch who lived in the official's house to force money was impeached by the ministers, and the book flew into the Wenhua Hall like snowflakes.

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and in order to calm the anger of the ministers, he had to issue an order to reprimand the eunuch who was squatting.

After all, Chongzhen is not the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, he has been tricked for so many years, and he will also have some tricks, not only did he not withdraw the will to "borrow money", but also issued an edict to reprimand the household official who sold his wealth, and told the ministers that this kind of embarrassing thing must not be allowed to happen again!

Unexpectedly, the household official wrote a letter to state his grievances, swaying the literary brilliance that Jinshi should have, and the sentences were very touching, saying that there was really no extra money in the family, and it was a last resort to sell furniture for the sake of the imperial court.

In the end, Chongzhen was forced to have no choice, and he didn't dare to fall into the reputation of forcing his subordinates to sell their money, after all, once this kind of shameful reputation is recorded in history, it will be stinky for 10,000 years.

Seeing that the emperor was govern by the poor officials, the officials followed suit and used the same method to fight against the eunuchs who forcibly borrowed money.

The ministers were so stingy one by one, Chongzhen's mood was very bad, and after venting, he ignored several major events in the court for several days in a row.

The emperor didn't care about anything, and Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not dare to deal with some confidential matters without authorization, and only after donating another 50,000 taels of silver did he have the opportunity to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was still quite satisfied with Xue Guoguan's attitude, the two talked to each other, and when it came to the matter of donations, Xue Guoguan said: "Your Majesty, if the eunuchs are effective and have strong supervision, how dare those officials be like this?" ”

Well? What do you mean?

Several eunuchs standing beside Chongzhen invariably raised their eyes and glanced at Xue Guoguan, and the great eunuch Wang Dehua was even more angry, feeling that Xue Guoguan was trying to mess with him.

After Wang Dehua was swept to the end, he served as the palm print eunuch of the inner palace eunuch, specializing in the eunuchs in the palace, Xue Guoguan said that the eunuchs were not good, wasn't that a slap in the face?

Wang Dehua didn't say anything, he had already written Xue Guoguan in a small book, ready to deliberately retaliate, what is the head of the cabinet? Wasn't Wen Tiren defeated in the hands of Eunuch Cao, and the foreign minister dared to provoke the inner eunuch, there was only one way to die!

What Wang Dehua didn't expect was that the emperor nodded with deep empathy, and said: "Actually, I know that the chief eunuchs in the palace are not poorer than those courtiers, and some are even very rich!" ”

Wang Dehua broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chongzhen tilted his head slightly and said: "Wang Dehua, pass on my message, let the leaders and eunuchs of the twenty-four yamen also donate some, as for how much I donate, I will not force it, it depends on your heart." ”

Wang Dehua stood on the ground, the emperor's words made him very sad, although the ministers' money was also donated, but it was basically lent to the household department, and some of them would be repaid in the future, what about these eunuchs? Can I get my money back?

The eunuchs are physically incomplete and have no heirs, and the only thing they can hope in is the silver money they have accumulated around them, and to take out the silver in their pockets is equivalent to digging out their hearts and their life.

But in the final analysis, the eunuch is the royal slave, and the glory and wealth are all things that the master says.

After Wang Dehua notified the leaders of the Twelve Supervisors, the Fourth Division, and the Eighth Bureau of the Emperor's will, he immediately set off an uproar.

The leaders and eunuchs all blew up, jumping up and down one by one, and they hated Xue Guoguan even more.

After a while, the big eunuchs also figured it out, they can be arrogant and domineering to the outside world, and it is better to be honest slaves in the palace, and everyone has seen the end of Gao Qidive.

Since the emperor said that donating more and donating less is not forced, that is to save face, maybe it is also a test, if you donate more, it is okay, if you donate less, so that the emperor is unhappy, then the tragic end can be imagined.

In the end, the eunuchs of the 24 yamen honestly signed their names on the pledge book, and the richest eunuch Wang Zhixin was the first to enter the account, and he chicly checked 10,000 taels and felt very satisfied.

But when the next few big eunuchs signed and registered, Wang Zhixin was shocked, Wang Dehua, the old thing, actually donated 30,000 taels, Wang Chengen even went up 50,000 taels, and even the eunuch with the palm print of the Huanyi Bureau with the least oil and water was 8,000 taels.......
