62 Bestow the sword
At first, Emperor Chongzhen just listened seriously. However, when he heard about the case of fraud in the imperial examination, his face suddenly changed.
As an emperor, he certainly knew how disastrous the imperial examination fraud would be for dynastic rule. It can be said that whether the surname of this world is Zhu or not depends on who controls the imperial examination, that is, who controls the future officials of the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing it again, I knew that the officials below were even thinking of ways to make money for the refugees, and my face became even more ugly.
It just so happened that Zhu Yujiao said that it was Zhou Bi'an's matter in the end, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shout angrily: "Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son!" ”
As soon as Zhu Yujiao heard this, she knew that her uncle was definitely going to be unlucky! However, she didn't mean to help speak, because as far as she was concerned, she also felt that she should teach next week's Bi'an.
I saw that after Emperor Chongzhen said a word of hatred, he immediately showed concern and said to Zhang Mingwei: "There are too few guards around Mr. ”
As soon as he said this, he heard Wang Chengen's voice begging to see him from outside the hall: "The slave and maid have an urgent report!" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately announced that he had entered the palace.
When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly entered, and saw that Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao were also there, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression relaxed a little and said: "It turns out that the gentleman and Her Royal Highness the princess are here, it's really scared of the old slave!" ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen again, and officially reported: "When the slave maid was investigating the Jiading Bo Mansion, I heard that Zhou Bi An made a big fuss about the Jinyi Guard's Command Embassy's mansion, and beat the steward at the gate of the mansion, and then Luo Commander Envoy arrived, and after hearing what he said, Zhou Bi An immediately led people to Chang'an Street, saying that he was looking for trouble with Mr. When the slave and maid heard this, they immediately rushed to ......"
Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen knew what was going on. It's just that he doesn't know about the previous things. At this time, when I heard it, I was even more annoyed.
He didn't expect that Zhou Bi'an would be arrogant to this extent, and he didn't expect that Luo Yangxing didn't have the appearance of a Jinyi guard commander, and he dared to cause trouble, as if he didn't know that he valued Mr. This person really can't be used!
Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Zhu Yujiao: "Tell your mother about these things, some things, don't say that I am ruthless!" ”
Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen was continuously stimulated by the broken things of the Zhou family's father and son, and he had already made up his mind.
Zhu Yujiao hurriedly agreed, and her father didn't dare to say more when he was furious, so he left in a hurry.
Watching her leave, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and said to Zhang Mingwei solemnly: "There are too few people in your house, and I really can't feel at ease." That's good......"
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, and then said decisively to Zhang Mingwei: "You said that Zhou Yuji and his wife are loyal ministers, and I will immediately send them and his wife to your house first." One is in charge of the outer courtyard and the other is in charge of the inner courtyard, and only after training your domestic servants can I feel at ease. ”
When Wang Chengen heard it, he was dumbfounded.
You must know that at this time, Zhou Yuji has not been transferred to Miyun, but as a brave general in the Yongwei battalion, his reputation is second only to Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan. In the case of later generations, it is a military district commander. Let a military general of this level run to Zhang Mingwei's home care home, Wang Chengen is not dumbfounded, it is strange.
Zhang Mingwei wrote the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty, of course he knew what kind of treatment this was, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
However, he remembered the purpose of entering the palace, so he did not refuse, but said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I just met it on a trip out of the city, and the scholar who I didn't meet was forced to cheat and rob the buns, and the hunter with high horses and skills reached the situation of selling his sons and daughters." Your Majesty, please think about it, these capable people have been forced to such a point by this world, you can imagine how the ordinary people are in dire straits. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei became a little excited, and his voice was even louder: "Out of the city, the refugees I saw along the way have already reached the point where their relatives have frozen to death and starved to death, and then they were thrown away like garbage, but they have become indifferent to this, and even said that they died early and were relieved early, what kind of experience will make them become like this?" Your Majesty, this is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, that's it. And what about other places? As soon as I think about it, thinking about the current situation of my compatriots, I feel anxious! ”
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Zhang Mingwei said to Emperor Chongzhen with a very serious expression: "Don't talk about anything else, it's just that outside the city of Jingshi, those refugees are waiting to be fed, and one more person will die if the ambulance is delayed, and Your Majesty's reputation will be lost." Although I, Zhang Mingwei, am not talented, I also ask Your Majesty to give me the power to solve the refugee problem outside the city first! ”
Feeling his heart of worrying about the country and the people, imagining the situation he described, Emperor Chongzhen was also excited, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, then I will temporarily seal Mr. as the pacification envoy for the refugees in Gyeonggi, and give Shang Fang Sword, all matters related to refugees, if there is any lawlessness, regardless of status, official position, you can cut it first and then play!" ”
After finishing speaking, he hesitated again, and finally said to Zhang Mingwei: "It's just...... Sir, I'm afraid this refugee matter is not easy to handle, or I should change the name, lest I be impeached by the Imperial Historian if I can't complete it when the time comes. ”
Although Emperor Chongzhen has been in the Forbidden City, after all, he is in his thirties, and some things can be imagined with his toes.
The matter of refugees, if you want to say it, it is very easy, as long as there is enough food, it is not a problem at all!
But the crux of the problem at the moment is that Emperor Chongzhen has no surplus grain in his hands. He remembered that the last time he persecuted the head of the household, and finally allocated some food for disaster relief.
Now that there is no food, the refugee problem will be very difficult!
Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Zhang Mingwei at this time would inevitably be noticed by the top and bottom of the Jingshi, and if he didn't do this well, those corpse vegetarian people would inevitably attack him en masse. Although he is safe, the gentleman will be fine. But if this thing is not done well, it will still have a great impact on Mr.'s reputation!
He was thinking about it, but Zhang Mingwei said in a firm tone: "If other people can solve this matter, there will not be so many human tragedies outside the city now." Since others can't do it, then I'll go up, no need to change, it's up to the refugee resettlement in this Gyeonggi land! ”
Although the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, for the sake of the people of Limin, they will not frown and want to break through. This spirit made Emperor Chongzhen's heart very shocked, and at the same time very moved, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Mingwei's hand and said, "Okay, I will fully support Mr." What is needed, sir, just say! ”
Wang Chengen, who was on the side, was also shocked when he heard these words just now. He couldn't help but secretly say to himself in his heart: "Look, a person like Mr. who really serves the country and the people should go down in history and be remembered by future generations!" ”
Zhang Mingwei was not hypocritical, and immediately said after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words: "I don't trust those soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses outside the city. Since Zhou Yuji is coming to protect me, it is better to let him bring troops over to help me. ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he let go of Zhang Mingwei's hand and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is just right, I asked him to immediately select five hundred soldiers and wait for Mr. to send them." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wang Chengen, and then said to Zhang Mingwei: "But the army is transferred, it will take some time, how about I let Wang Daban lead the people from Dongchang to help you?" ”
Wang Chengen is actually very busy, but it's nothing to listen to Zhang Mingwei's dispatch for the time being. Therefore, he did not complain out loud about the overwork.
Zhang Mingwei glanced at him, nodded to him, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "To solve the problem of refugees outside the city, I still have ideas, and I need Your Majesty's side to cooperate." ”
Hearing the meaning of this, he really has a solution, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed, and at the same time a little curious, and hurriedly said: "I have said that I will fully cooperate, sir, but there is a need, it is!" ”
……………………
In the Forbidden City, before Zhu Yujiao saw Queen Zhou, she met the crown prince Zhu Cihong first.
"Hey, didn't you go to be a maid at your husband's side?" As soon as Zhu Cihong saw that there were no outsiders, he immediately frowned and said, "Could it be that you can't stand the suffering, and you ran back by yourself or were driven back by your husband?" ”
"......" Zhu Yujiao was speechless when she heard it, but she had something on her mind and didn't want to gossip with Zhu Cihong, so she said a few words and briefly said what happened today.
Zhu Cihong listened to her, and his playful expression suddenly disappeared, and finally sighed: "It turns out that so many things have happened!" ”
Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes and immediately asked, "Is Mr. still in the palace?" ”
"I'm talking to my father!" Zhu Yujiao listened, and after answering casually, she immediately guessed the thoughts of this good imperial brother, and immediately asked, "Are you going to find Mr.?" ”
"Brother is better than sister!" Zhu Cihong heard this, and seemed to be excited and said, "Anyway, I still have a few days to go south, so it's better to go to my husband's side and listen to his teachings." ”
After finishing speaking, he left the surprised Zhu Yujiao and ran away!
