Chongzhen gently stroked the box with trembling hands, he didn't dare to open it and take a look.

"Your Majesty, take a look, these letters, from the first year of the Apocalypse to the present, have a total of 4,612 letters, involving more than 500 officials above the seventh rank inside and outside the court."

Wang Chengen reported the data with some trepidation, and then bowed down and waited for Chongzhen's instructions.

"What about me?" Chongzhen's meaning, how many letters he had after he ascended the throne.

Wang Chengen understood and took out a small box from the box.

This is the one Li Ruolian brought back.

Chongzhen took the small box, but he was still reluctant to open it, he was a little unacceptable.

"I never thought that my courtiers would be all demons and monsters.

In front of me, one by one they boasted of being a clear stream, and when they turned around, they were willing to fall, and even more so they were in the same stream with Wei Gelding, how could they dare to treat me like this? ”

Before Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he hated Wei Zhongxian very much, that was because before the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, Zhu Youzhen was still the king of faith at that time, he lived cautiously every day, and he was frightened, for fear that Wei Zhongxian would seize the handle and take his life.

Now he also hates those who once bribed Wei Zhongxian.

"Someone." Chongzhen was furious, he wanted to cut off all the first-class Wei Dang, and not a single one of them flowed.

"The minister is here."

"Summoning the Jinyi Guard, according to the list of letters, immediately arrest these people and put them in prison."

Chongzhen was furious, and gave the order regardless of it.

"Your Majesty, no." Wang Chengen was shocked and immediately knelt down on his knees to stop him.

"Why not?" Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen stop him, and his face showed displeasure.

"Your Majesty, if these courtiers are arrested, what will happen to the government? Not to mention that it involves nine sides and nine towns, large and small, hundreds of generals, if they are all arrested, what will happen to the border gates?

If all these four or five hundred people are imprisoned, the ministers will live in fear, and if the ministers are in turmoil, what will be good? ”

Chongzhen actually knew that he couldn't do this, he just couldn't get angry.

At this moment, Chongzhen calmed down, waved his hand helplessly, and motioned for the herald to go down.

"I hate that I can't kill these thieves, the ancestors' rivers and mountains, the ancestors' rivers and mountains, can I keep them?"

Chongzhen's grief-stricken hands pointed to the sky and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also hate these thieves, but these courtiers are understandable." Wang Chengen knelt down on Chongzhen's feet and said sincerely.

"Oh? Then you speak carefully and I listen. ”

Chongzhen is actually an emperor who can accept words, but this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, each with a ghost, and will only attack each other.

Although they can speak well and give birth to lotus flowers, they are all scholars who talk on paper in the world, and even if someone can put forward a good strategy, they will be vetoed by these people, because as long as the strategy that is beneficial to the country will move their interests.

"The first emperor reused Wei Gelding, which made Wei Eunuch tilt towards the government and the opposition, claiming to be nine thousand years old, and the courtiers had no choice but to deal with him.

In the final analysis, the first emperor was not holy enough. ”

"Presumptuous!!"

When Wang Chengen talked about the first emperor Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen's brother, Chongzhen's face changed and he scolded Wang Chengen.

However, he also knew that what Wang Chengen said was right.

If Zhu Youxiao is holy enough, how can he reuse a big traitor like Wei Zhongxian, and how can he make the government chaotic, and these courtiers don't have to bribe Wei Zhongxian.

"The human heart is unpredictable of good and evil, and it is difficult to distinguish whether such people are loyal or traitorous." Chongzhen sat on the chair with the secret box and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, time has passed, and since you ascended the throne, the courtiers no longer need to flatter and treacherous.

The minister, who had the courage to suggest, regarded all these secret letters as a passing cloud, burned them on fire, and no longer pursued them. ”

Chongzhen was extremely comfortable by Wang Chengen's sycophancy, and his face was satisfied.

In fact, he also needs a step, and Wang Chengen gave him a satisfactory step.

"Hehe... Hey... Hahaha... I will not pursue this matter further, but I will not forget these flattering and treacherous ministers. Chongzhen smirked like a madman, and then got up from his chair.

Walk to the study window.

"I want to use this as a lever to spur them to be used by me."

"The emperor is wise."

"I should slowly figure it out to revitalize the dynasty."

"The emperor is wise."

Every time Chongzhen said a word, Wang Chengen flattered him, although Chongzhen is an emperor, but now he is just a young man over seventeen years old.

Hearing these sycophants, I still feel comfortable.

"Wei Gelding is in the past, so let's talk about me." Chongzhen raised the box in his hand and motioned to Wang Chengen to explain what rotten things had happened since he ascended the throne.

Wang Chengen took out a volume of secret letters from his sleeve and handed it to Chongzhen with both hands.

Chongzhen looked at it with relish.

When he was the king, he was lonely and no one cared, but now when he enters the palace, there is nothing to entertain in this deep palace compound.

And Wang Chengen's secret letter always allows him to see something unknown to others, so Chongzhen will ask Wang Chengen every time if there are any interesting anecdotes.

In this secret letter, Li Ruolian recorded in detail what he did all the way after he arrived in Shanxi.

Until the Black Tiger Village in Shouyang County, Chongzhen's face began to look not very good.

This is because in the early dynasty today, Wang Zaijin had just stated the scourge of bandits, and there were bandits in Shouyang, and there was also a bandit like Wang Zezhi.

When he saw the letter that Li Ruolian had copied from the secret spy to Wang Zezhi, his eyes lit up, and he looked at it again with great interest.

Li Ruolian would be shocked if he was here, because even he didn't know when the emperor had placed an undercover agent beside him.

It was with these undercover agents that the emperor could know what every official was doing.

"Eliminate the silver, go to the fire, this is a strategy to save the world, but it's a pity that it came from the hands of bandits."

Chongzhen put down the secret letter with some regret and stomped back and forth in the study.

"These thieves in Shanxi, I can't touch them, it doesn't mean that others can't move." Chongzhen grabbed the letter on the table and held it tightly in his hand.

"Wang Chengen obeys the order."

"The minister is here."

"I, ordered Wang Zezhi, a native of Shaanxi, to be a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, thoroughly investigate the betrayal of the enemy in Shouyang Zhixian County, and give him the right to act cheaply.

According to my mouth, Li Ruolian deceived the monarch and ordered him to make meritorious service on behalf of the crime, and he must appease the thief king of Shaanxi, if this person cannot be used by me, there will be no forgiveness for killing. ”

Chongzhen really wanted to do something to these people in his heart, but he was the king of a country, so he had to consider many things and couldn't be capricious.

If he can't go into battle himself, then he will help an eagle dog out.

sweep away evil spirits for him.

As for Li Ruolian, this person made Chongzhen very unhappy, and after he returned to Jinyiwei, he didn't say a word about Wang Zezhi.

This made Chongzhen very angry, so he sent him to recruit Wang Zezhi.

Success is naturally good, if you don't succeed, then kill the person you are shielding with your own hands to show loyalty.

"Your Majesty, don't do it, this thief is quite terrifying, if you have a rebellion, there will be endless troubles."

"People who have the ability are more or less scary, and those who don't have the ability are not scary, but they are useless.

Bandits are uncontrolled, they are bandits, and they are no longer masters when they have a master. ”

"The emperor is wise!" Wang Chengen knelt behind Chongzhen in fear, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with some fear, just now he actually resisted the order, fortunately Chongzhen would not bother with him at all.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and within the four seas, it is not the king's minister, this son has great talent and can be used.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has me in the court, do the bandits dare to act recklessly? This is not only for Wang Chengen, but also to comfort himself.

"Emperor Mingjian!" Wang Chengen hurriedly praised, bowed down and retired, and announced his order.
