Wang Zezhi was praised by the ministers for a while, and Chongzhen also felt that there was light on his face.

After he met Wang Zezhi, Wang Zezhi returned to work.

Chongzhen began to chat with hundreds of officials in the court.

"Recently, I often dreamed of a god man and drew a 'have' in the palm of his hand, and now, I have a good general, what do you think?"

"Yes, everything happens, and that's a good sign."

"Yes, it is a sign that the thieves will be pacified."

"Good omen, good omen."

Wang Zezhi didn't think so, Wang Zezhi, who was back to work, suddenly stumbled out, fell, and got up again with a nosebleed.

Wang Zeyi was a little confused, he wanted to come out and explain, but he didn't want to fall.

"Rude."

"Presumptuous!"

Wang Zezhi knew that this was not the time to be in a daze, so he took advantage of the situation and cried.

"Your Majesty, this is a great omen."

"Nonsense."

"Fart..."

The courtiers just said that this was a good omen, and a small military general came out to dismantle the stage, which was a slap in their face.

The courtiers are unhappy, and Chongzhen is also a little unhappy, but he is a person who is good at accepting words, he wants to hear what Wang Zezhi has to say, if Wang Zezhi can't say it, it is bullying the king, and he will definitely do it to Wang Zezhi.

"Mr. Wang might as well talk about it."

When the emperor spoke, the ministers immediately shut up, and they also wanted to see what Wang Zezhi had to say.

Wang Zezhi stretched out his hand to wipe his nosebleed, and said tragically: "The god man is telling Your Majesty that the Ming Dynasty is about to lose half of it." The upper half of the word 'have' is a 'big' character, which is missing, and the lower half is a 'ming' character, which is missing one day.

Taken together, the big is not big, and the Ming is not clear, which is the meaning of the defect of the Ming Dynasty.

The man of God is reminding His Majesty to be more vigilant against thieves. ”

"Nonsense, since the emperor ascended the throne, the country and the people have been safe, how can you say that there is a thief?"

"Honest and unscrupulous..."

"To be ashamed..."

"It's a big rebellion..."

"A mouth full of feces..."

As soon as Wang Zezhi spoke, the ministers began to shout again.

"Mr. Wang, tell me, where did the thief come from?"

"Your Majesty, half of the Ming Dynasty is missing, and the ministers dare to speculate that it should be a rebellion for the hungry people in northwest Shaanxi."

Wang Zeyi looked loyal and righteous to death, raised his head and said sonorously.

In fact, Wang Zezhi was also beating drums in his heart, and he had not received information from Shaanxi.

It's just that according to the calculation of time, Wang Jiayin should have an accident at this time.

"The book of the military department, Wang Qia." Chongzhen had a gloomy face and asked Wang Qia.

"The minister is here." Wang Qia went out of class.

"Are there thieves in Shaanxi recently?"

"Your Majesty, since the emperor ascended the throne, Shaanxi Cheng announced the political envoys, except for the disaster of the second king during the Apocalypse, there have been no new thieves recently."

After listening to Wang Qia's reply, Chongzhen was even more unhappy.

Because in his opinion, this dream should be a good omen, but Wang Zezhi was good, and he was embarrassed by the first time he went to court, and he no longer valued Wang Zezhi in his heart.

"Chief soldier of Datong, Wang Zezhi, what else do you have to say?"

Chongzhen was really unhappy.

"Please forgive the emperor for being rude, and the last general will have to risk his death.

The emperor didn't know it, the last general helped countless displaced people, and I heard from the mouths of the displaced people that the northern Shaanxi region has been dry for a long time without rain, the grass and trees are scorched, the land is thousands of miles away, the hungry people have fled, and the hunger is everywhere. Thousands of troops

The more people in northern Shaanxi died, the grass and trees were exhausted, people were cannibalistic, and the peasants' skin and bones were exhausted, and they did not see how to save their lives.

However, the imperial court not only did not reduce or reduce rents and provide relief to the victims, but instead increased the so-called new salaries and equal losses, and strictly ordered officials to supervise them.

The hungry people are urgent, and everyone is angry, wanting to rebel against the officials and heroes in order to survive.

If the emperor does not strictly guard against the rebellion of thieves and robbers in Shaanxi, it will definitely be a catastrophe. ”

Chongzhen's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, he had heard Ma Mao say these things, and at this moment, he heard it from Wang Zezhi's mouth again, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Bi Aiqing."

"The minister is here." The head of the household department is out of class from the strict.

"I remember that I allocated 300,000 taels from the emperor's silver to help the victims, why is the disaster situation in Shaanxi still so erosive."

"The emperor doesn't know anything, Shaanxi is thousands of miles away, ten rivers and nine droughts, there are a lot of hungry people, 300,000 taels of water."

Bi Ziyan knelt on the ground after leaving class, crying out in grief.

"Your Majesty, as far as the last general knows, there is something greasy here." As soon as Bi Ziyan finished speaking, Wang Zezhi popped and crawled on the ground in a five-body shape to speak again.

"Say."

According to the mouths of the displaced people who fled from Shaanxi, the 300,000 taels that the emperor gave to the victims were exploited by corrupt officials at all levels, and less than 30,000 taels really reached the hands of the people.

30,000 taels is indeed a drop in the bucket for northern Shaanxi. ”

"You are a military attaché, the court is a place for monarchs and ministers to discuss politics, how dare you be so rude in front of the holy driver."

"Presumptuous!"

"Blood-spewing people."

"Stand down."

"Drag him down."

Wang Zezhi's words directly stabbed the hornet's nest, and the courtiers in the court moved one by one, intending to carry Wang Zezhi out.

"Your Majesty, they have no king, they form a party for personal gain, they bully you when you are young, Your Majesty, woo..."

There was a big chaos in the court, and they did not hesitate to tear off the clothes inside and block Wang Zezhi's mouth.

"Presumptuous! Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Wang Zeyi deceived him for being young and directly talked about Chongzhen's sore spot.

Chongzhen stood up and shouted, the court was silent, and the ministers confessed their guilt, and they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

"Phew." Wang Zezhi spit out the cloth in his mouth and continued to crawl on the ground.

Chongzhen stood up and looked, and Wang Zezhi, who was crawling on the ground, was particularly conspicuous.

"The king of Datong's general soldiers, is innocent and innocent."

Just because one sentence was said in Chongzhen's heart, Chongzhen began to favor Wang Zezhi.

In addition to this reason, another reason is because Wang Zezhi told the corruption of hundreds of officials in the court.

Since this incident was told, Wang Zezhi and Chongzhen have been grasshoppers on the same rope.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the future of Gongshi and officials from the rank of people was severely restricted, and these people knew that the future had reached the top, and there was no hope of promotion for honesty and corruption, so it was better to be more corrupt.

And the officials who were born in Jinshi knew that they would definitely be high-ranking officials in the future, so they became a deep-rooted force, and their background determined their status.

And these forces collude to serve only themselves, and they will be corrupt and powerful. If there is an official who is honest and cherishes his reputation, he will be criticized and attacked in groups.

In addition to the origin, the supplementary channel for the promotion of officials is only a mechanism of recommendation.

The magistrate at the bottom, as the parent official of the people, will be afraid of the law and self-restraint when he first becomes an official.

And as soon as the imperial court began to select and elect officials, they began to think about loyalty.

Officials at the bottom are desperately pandering to their superiors, flattering them by embezzlement and the use of torture to extract wealth, while the higher-level officials, who have the power to recommend and impeach lower-level officials, will inevitably exercise this power for their own personal gain.

Therefore, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there was corruption everywhere and exploitation at all levels.

As the emperor of a country, how could Chongzhen not know these things.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been accumulating disadvantages for a long time, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the emperor is weak, and he can't do anything with these people with the strength in his hands.

Now, he has one more general in his hand, and Chongzhen is still very happy.
