Even Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect Xue Guoguan to say such a thing, and he was also taken aback. In his impression, there would be no official in the late Ming Dynasty who would say such a thing, if there was really such a courtier to help the original Emperor Chongzhen, then how could Emperor Chongzhen hang himself?

Xue Guoguan's reputation in later generations was not loud, and he even seemed to belong to traitors. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over in later generations, was not familiar with this Xue Manzi. However, because of this, after listening to Xue Guoguan's suggestion, he became very interested in him.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly discovered that not all the courtiers in the late Ming Dynasty were corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they only knew the garbage of party disputes; Thinking like this, he also had more confidence in his heart in the prospect of Zhongxing Daming and changing his fate. After all, he still has the help of the eavesdropping system, who else can make real suggestions like Xue Guoguan and have a heart for the country and the people? It's going to be a lot easier!

Or Xue Guoguan also knew how surprising he was when he said this, he stared at Emperor Chongzhen, and also saw Emperor Chongzhen's surprised look, so he immediately added: "Take what Weichen knows, Wuqing Marquis Li Guorui treats his brother Li Guochen poorly, so Li Guochen is angry, and once said to Weichen that his father has 400,000 taels of silver, and he should get half of it, and he is willing to take it all out as military funds." Your Majesty, a Marquis of Wuqing is already like this, so will there be fewer other royal relatives and nobles? Give each person some and you can get through this difficult time! ”

Li Guorui is the grandson of the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding and a family member of the emperor's grandmother. Speaking of which, such an imperial prince is actually far from Emperor Chongzhen, and he is not a popular imperial prince. It is precisely because of this that Xue Guoguan took him out as an example. At the moment of national crisis, he felt that Emperor Chongzhen should agree to his approach and open a breakthrough from Marquis Wuqing, so that the matter of borrowing money would be easier to do.

In the original history, he did suggest to Emperor Chongzhen in this way. Emperor Chongzhen, as he expected, was moved and allowed him to play. However, other civil and military generals, the royal family and nobles knew about it, how could they let them get their wish! Otherwise, after Wu Qinghou, they would all have to bleed! And they all know very well that with the difficulties of the court now, how can the money lent out be returned!

Therefore, someone immediately taught Li Guorui to hide his property and not hand it over, demolish the house, and display the furniture and utensils on the street to sell, indicating that he had no assets. Empress Zhou's father, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, also went to contact the Marquis of Wuding, since everyone was a relative of the emperor, he said that he would pay for him, and several families would come together to make up.

The reason why I did this was nothing more than to show the emperor, and their relatives of the emperor were very poor, and they all had little money. If your emperor insists on asking for money, this is the only way, let's sell pots and pans together!

It is foreseeable that Emperor Chongzhen was naturally very angry after receiving this situation. In doing this, they don't know that they want to slap the emperor in the face! A person who is an emperor forces his relatives to this kind of role, how will the people of the world talk about the emperor?

You must know that even ordinary people, if they can't treat their relatives well, they will be pointed at by others behind their backs, let alone the emperor! Anyway, the emperor's approach, after it gets out, a mean and unkind image can't run!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and issued an order to deprive Li Guorui of his title, and strictly ordered Li Guorui to hand over 400,000 taels of silver. It stands to reason that even if all the silver of Wu Qinghou is handed over, there are still non-silver assets such as shop fronts and grain fields, and it will not be uncomfortable for the family to live. But what is strange is that in a blink of an eye, Li Guorui hanged himself.

As a result, all of a sudden, public opinion exploded at that time, and the imperial historians and officials played for this reason, and public opinion was also saying that the emperor had forced his relatives to death. The crowd is raging, how can a young emperor who wants to save face deal with himself?

Naturally, Emperor Chongzhen was furious again when he heard the report, and there were suspicious points indicating that Li Guorui's death was a cat, so he asked the factory guard to start a thorough investigation of the matter.

At this time, he could already feel that Xue Guoguan's suggestion was very resistant. But the imperial court has no money, and there is only this way, and if he can get money quickly without increasing the burden on the people in the world, he will naturally not compromise, and he is determined to implement the loan. He doesn't care about the people's discussions; The recital of the imperial historian, he stayed in the middle, and he did it anyway.

However, Emperor Chongzhen still underestimated his opponent's counterattack methods. I didn't wait for the factory guard to find out anything, or whether the factory guard was seriously investigating. Some people took advantage of the illness of Emperor Chongzhen's fifth son, colluded with eunuchs and palace maids, and it was rumored that the Empress Dowager Xiaoding had ascended to the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, and blamed the emperor for despising his relatives in heaven, and each of the emperor's sons would die young, and the first thing would be retribution to the emperor's fifth son.

Although Emperor Chongzhen heard these words, he was not a fool, so he naturally did not believe it. At this juncture, nine times out of ten, someone should be spreading rumors. Therefore, they ignored it and only stepped up the investigation of the death of Marquis Wu Qing.

However, Emperor Chongzhen never expected that his fifth son would die soon. As a result, whether it is the people, the palace, or the imperial historians, they all say that the Empress Dowager Xiaoding has appeared. The emperor insisted on going his own way and was punished. If they don't repent, the other princes will die with them.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen at that time couldn't bear the pressure and was very scared. He believed that the Empress Dowager Xiaoding was angry in heaven, blamed herself, and received retribution.

So, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly named Li Guorui's seven-year-old son Cunshan as a marquis, and returned all the gold and silver paid.

As a result, the will to borrow money from the emperor's relatives and civil officials and military generals could not be carried out, and Xue Guoguan's policy not only did not have any effect, but put Emperor Chongzhen under great pressure, both in terms of reputation and his life, which was seriously affected.

In this way, Xue Guoguan lost his sacred heart, and those imperial relatives, civil officials and military generals began to counterattack Xue Guoguan. Even if Xue Guoguan is the first assistant, it is useless, not long after he became the first assistant, he was impeached by them together, and finally ended up with Emperor Chongzhen ordering death.

Of course, these are all things that happened in history. As for this plane, Emperor Chongzhen has already crossed over, and naturally it is not comparable to the previous Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen listened to Xue Guoguan's example, this time, he was not surprised, because he remembered one thing. In the original history, after Li Zicheng defeated the Beijing Division, he pursued stolen goods and subsidies in the Beijing Division, and finally obtained a total of more than 70 million taels of silver.

This is only on the official side, and as for the property that those generals and soldiers conceal in private and do not report, I am afraid that there are a lot of them. That is to say, in the capital five years later, those civil and military generals, imperial relatives and nobles have at least more than 100 million taels of silver. A Marquis of Wuqing has 400,000 taels, which is really not much!

After Xue Guoguan finished his speech, he didn't see Emperor Chongzhen's surprised look, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking that Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it. But if he said it himself, it was already spilled water, and he couldn't take it back. His own life is on it, and he must make Emperor Chongzhen believe it, so he immediately played: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can pass on the brother of Marquis Wu Qing, and you can prove whether what Weichen said is true!" ”

A few people on the side, whether they were auxiliary ministers or admirals of Dongchang, the sweat on their backs kept rising.

As soon as this loan came out, not only would they have to break the bank, but they would probably be misunderstood by others, thinking that they and Xue Guoguan were wearing the same pants. At least, if the emperor agrees and they don't stop them, they will also be hated by others; And if it is blocked, Xue Guoguan has actual examples, and the emperor probably will not listen to them, and may even leave a bad impression on the emperor.

This matter can be described as a dilemma for them. Therefore, they are all scolding in their hearts, Xue Manzi, you stinky shit, what are you doing to break the sky......

After all, in their opinion, the two things mentioned by Xue Guoguan were more serious than the Manchu army raging in the land of Gyeonggi. Once the emperor is really encouraged by Xue Guoguan, then if they are still on the emperor's side, then the fate in the future can be imagined. And if you don't stand on the emperor's side, then today's hurdle is likely to be overcome.

Thinking like this, even their foreheads began to break out in a cold sweat.

Emperor Chongzhen on the throne saw it, and suddenly asked lightly: "Yang Qing, Fang Qing, and Cao Daban, why are Qing and others still sweating in this winter?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the bodies of these people were shocked, and Yang Sichang reacted quickly, and hurriedly replied: "I'm afraid it's caused by Wei Chen's clothes being worn too much." ”

"Yes, yes, it should be that Weichen's clothes are worn too much!" When Fang Fengnian heard this, he also hurriedly echoed.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he looked at Cao Huachun and smiled, but he didn't know if it was a sneer, anyway, Cao Huachun was furious in his heart, and before he could speak, Emperor Chongzhen asked him: "Then Cao Daban is also wearing too many clothes?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the slave maid is old and sick, and she is indeed wearing more clothes!" When Cao Huachun heard this, he hurriedly showed a look of gratitude, and bowed his head and replied.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately said lightly: "Oh, so that's the case, that companion can't work too hard, if you are sick, you have to recuperate!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Xue Guoguan, and immediately ordered: "Since Xue Qing has proposed it, then Xue Qing will bring that brother of the Marquis of Wuqing and come over and let me ask him in person!" ”

When Xue Guoguan heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and then withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

Yang Sichang's heart suddenly became anxious, Xue Guoguan, this-stirring stick, don't really want to stir up. As soon as his heart moved, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is more appropriate for Xue Ge Lao to raise this matter for the parties, or for Dongchang to bring people here." ”
