Knowing Zhou Yanru's true intentions, a group of civil officials echoed one after another.

"Yes, please also ask Your Majesty to think about the many refugees outside the city, and it is better for the resettlement envoy to concentrate on the resettlement of refugees!"

"Didn't Your Majesty appoint him as the refugee resettlement envoy in Gyeonggi? In addition to Jingshi City, there are many refugees, and they are all His Majesty's people! ”

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne and listened to them playing with a blank face.

He found that these civil officials were very afraid of the fact that Mr. Jinyi was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and they strongly emphasized the difficulties of resettlement of refugees in Gyeonggi. However, since it is so difficult to resettle the refugees, they do not mention it at all, saying that they will donate money and goods to help.

If it was before, Emperor Chongzhen might have been led away by these words played by these civil officials.

But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen, he felt that he was sitting on the clouds, watching a group of clowns performing below.

The reason for this is because of the appearance of Mr., so that he has a clear understanding of the purpose of these words to these civil officials, and naturally it is impossible for them to lead him by the nose again!

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't hear anything new, so he was a little impatient, and immediately said in a cold voice: "The ability of the gentleman is not comparable to you." In your opinion, it is difficult to resettle refugees, but is it so? ”

After saying this, he snorted heavily, then glanced at the courtiers below, raised his voice and said, "However, it is very simple for Mr. to settle the refugees, and it will not delay him from taking over the Jinyi Guard. I believe that the handover of Jinyiwei to Mr. will definitely revitalize the function of Jinyiwei and give me peace of mind! ”

"......" Zhou Yanru and the others were a little dumbfounded when they heard these words of Emperor Chongzhen.

Isn't revitalizing the function of Jinyi Guard just to detect hundreds of officials? To put it so bluntly, that is, the factory guard will definitely run rampant in the future?

How can this work, definitely not!

So, Zhou Yanru played again: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of refugees outside the city are waiting to be fed, and the slightest carelessness is a matter of human life. Wei Chen thought that he must not take such an important matter as a child's play just because Zhang Placement Envoy said a few words casually. Your Majesty, that's all human life! ”

At the end of the day, he seemed to choke up a little, as if he was really sad about what happened to those refugees.

However, his real intention is actually the previous purpose, which is to tell Emperor Chongzhen that Zhang Mingwei will just take care of the refugees, and don't take over the Jinyi Guard again!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen understood what he meant, and it was the same, seeing Zhou Yanru's coy attitude, he was furious in his heart, so he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, slammed the table, and shouted: "Let me ask you, before Mr., who of you ever cared about those refugees outside the city?" Isn't human life at stake? Come, come, tell me, what do you care about? ”

Speaking of this, he was a little excited, and immediately stood up, pointed at Zhou Yanru and the others with his finger and shouted, "Have you done anything for the refugees?" Sir's notice has been posted, have you ever donated a little money and food? Don't tell me that you don't have any money or food. Which of your houses can't spare an old warm clothes? Can't squeeze out a bowl of rice or a steamed bun? If you really want to do this, will the refugees outside the city still die every day before? Human life is at stake, are you embarrassed to come and talk to me about human life? ”

The emperor was furious, quite angry, and the courtiers could not face such anger directly, and they could only kneel down and be disciplined one by one, whether they wanted it or not.

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to bear the brunt, was bitter in his heart, he never thought that how could Emperor Chongzhen's eloquence become so sharp?

He couldn't bear such an accusation, so he immediately quibbled: "Your Majesty, refugees outside the city can't be saved by an old coat of warm clothes, a bowl of rice, or a steamed bun!" If it is really possible, how can Weichen care about a piece of clothing and a steamed bun! Alas, it really doesn't help! ”

When the other courtiers heard this, they were about to echo it, but they heard a "snap", only to see Emperor Chongzhen slap the table again and shouted: "You dare to quibble!" The gentleman himself had no money, so I rewarded him with 20,000 taels of silver, and he donated it all! There are also 50,000 stone of grain, which is also all the stock in the grain store under his name. Did he say that he donated it for nothing anyway? I look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and who really cares about the people like Mr., regardless of the result, just trying to do his best? ”

In the "......" hall, only his roar remained, and many courtiers were silent.

Some people were ashamed of Zhang Mingwei in their hearts, so they were silent. But, more often, there is just no reason to refute it for a while.

Zhou Yanru's sweat came down on the spot. However, if he didn't say anything, this Shousuke position would definitely not be able to sit steadily, and he would not have the face to sit down. Therefore, after swallowing and spitting, he said a little breathlessly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, some people have a good name......

As he was saying this, he suddenly saw something flying over, and he was startled, and he didn't care about it anymore, so he hurriedly dodged.

said that it was too late, but in the end, Zhou Yanru still didn't dodge, smashed on his head, and then fell to the ground.

Zhou Yanru was a little painful, so he hurriedly covered his forehead with his hand, and looked down, but saw that it was a royal pen.

"I was really blind before I would let you be the first assistant!" Emperor Chongzhen pointed his finger at Zhou Yanru and shouted, "With something like you, how can the atmosphere of the Ming officialdom be so good!" If you have the ability, do you have a good name for me to see? If you really want a good name, the refugees outside the city will be able to live a lot, and it is impossible for Daming to end up in the current situation! ”

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Zhou Yanru in disgust and shouted, "Come on, put this thing in prison!" ”

When the captain of the Jinyi Guard who was waiting in the hall heard this, he immediately stepped forward to take Zhou Yanru away.

If it were changed to before, there might be officials who advised the emperor, after all, Zhou Yanru was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, not only scolded him to his face, but also put him in prison for saying a word, which would be too much.

However, in the court of Chongzhen's fifteenth year, there was not a single official who spoke for Zhou Yanru. Either they covet the position of the first assistant, or they are afraid of the emperor under the wrath, or they are not ashamed of Zhou Yanru.

In fact, there is another very important reason why Emperor Chongzhen imprisoned Zhou Yanru in the edict, that is, Zhou Yanru was the first assistant of the Fushe Society, and let him sit in this position, that is, he was humiliating Emperor Chongzhen himself.

At this time, although Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, was dead, the Restoration Society was still there. Emperor Chongzhen imprisoned Zhou Yanru in prison, just giving Zhang Mingwei a chance to investigate him. As for the position of the first assistant, after listening to Zhang Mingwei's recommendation, he had already sent someone to pass on the candidate for the first assistant.

After losing his temper, Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and left.

What happened just now is also a big deal for the court. Suddenly, it soon spread. And Zhang Mingwei didn't know anything about this, he was busy with the personnel arrangements of Jinyiwei, and he saw the captain of Jinyiwei escorting Zhou Yanru here.
