Chapter 69: The End of the Year

On December 27, the seventh year of the Great Apocalypse, the Forbidden City, the Taihe Palace.

Today was originally a small year, and since the beginning of the year, the government has begun to take holidays and no longer work. But today, the ministers were edicted by Chongzhen again, and I don't know what kind of demon moth this master is going to make.

Sure enough, I heard Chongzhen on the throne speak: "Today, everyone is here, but there are a few things for everyone to discuss."

One is that the seven years of the apocalypse are about to pass. As the saying goes, only by summarizing the past can we look forward to the future. Let's first summarize the events of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

Second, I heard that there is a saying among the people, a new year and a new atmosphere. Let's make a rough five-year plan for the next five years today. After the ministries returned, they worked with the cabinet to complete it and then handed it over.

As for the third, it is the matter of the Martyrs' Shrine. I am not sensitive, but I also hear about the major events of the country, and I am worshipping and fighting. Therefore, I intend to lead Qing and others to the Martyrs' Shrine on the first day of the first month of the first month to pay tribute to him. This specification system, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still needs to come up with a charter. ”

When the ministers below heard this, their hearts were full of wails. This master is too capable of tossing, this pure heart is not to let everyone have a good New Year, and there are so many things. Especially the Martyrs' Shrine, which is enshrined in a group of Qiu Ba, and now he wants these noble scholars to study the sacrifices and etiquette for him, and it's fucking angry to think about it!

Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, took in the expressions of the ministers below, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart. Lao Tzu is the heart! Lao Tzu just won't let you have a good New Year! This is just the fucking beginning, take your time later!

Seeing that the group below did not take the lead in speaking, Chongzhen simply began to name him: "Wen Aiqing, since Qing is my first assistant to the Ming Dynasty, let's talk about the events of this year first." ”

Wen Tiren was also unhappy when he heard this, but since the emperor had named him, he couldn't hide by himself, so he had to play the class and said: "Your Majesty, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, sent an envoy to negotiate peace, but Emperor Daxing refused.

In March, the ministers of the superintendent king said that Liaodong would reward all the evils, and the first emperor ordered the subordinates to discuss it, but so far to no avail.

On March 21, Zhang Douyao, the magistrate of Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province, urged the conquest very coolly, and the people could not bear the poison, so they gathered a crowd to break into the county seat, and Zhang Douyao was killed by Zheng Yanfu and others. It's flattened.

In September, Jiannu entered the Kou, shaking the Beijing Division, but relying on the Holy Hongfu, the soldiers used their lives, and the son of the slave chief Huang Taiji was captured and captured. ”

Chongzhen waited for Wen Tiren to finish speaking, and then remembered that there was such a person as Yuan Chonghuan, so he asked, "What about Yuan Chonghuan?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan has resigned and returned to his hometown in August. ”

Chongzhen was stunned, he had been in Daming for so long, why hadn't he seen this thing jump out and disgust himself, it turned out that he had returned home. It's okay to save yourself from not knowing whether this person is loyal or traitorous, and just let him be a rich man.

Chongzhen was thinking about Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, but he said: "What about the next five years?" What does Aiqing think? ”

Wen Tiren said: "The minister is ignorant, and there is no good plan in his heart. It's just that after the eight Jin merchants were confiscated and the arrears owed to the local health offices were cleared, the treasury still has more than 40 million taels. The ministers thought that they could levy more people and husbands to dredge rivers in various places, and build more cities in Liaodong to besiege and build slaves, so that they could be safe both inside and outside. ”

Chongzhen was extremely disappointed when he heard this. Even when the head of the court was Wen Tiren, it was just like this, Chongzhen suddenly wanted to cut people again.

Why are they thinking about how to defend and besiege one by one, and why can't they think about training the new army to fight Jiannu?

sneered, but Chongzhen said: "Of course, the rivers in the world must be dredged, but it is not easy for the people of my Ming Dynasty to live a difficult life, so I will stop the matter of levying it."

Order Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town, the minister of the king of Liaodong, to go and arrest Jiannu for me, as long as he is young and strong, catch one and give two taels of silver.

In the future, the captured slaves were used for dangerous or dirty work such as mining and dredging the world's rivers. My people are much more expensive than them.

Moreover, all prisoners of war on the battlefield were castrated and then used for such work. ”

I don't want to have the imperial history Shi Jizhi to come out of the class and objected: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king should cultivate virtue and politics in order to be able to obey the four guests, Your Majesty's move will inevitably hurt the heavens and the peace, and the minister asks Your Majesty to take back your order." ”

Chongzhen only felt that his heart was extremely crooked. Yidi is not of my race, his heart will be different, the strong will be a thief, the weak and humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, and his nature will also. The person who said this is also a literati, why does this literati Ma Zai of the old Li family and the literati Ma Zai of the old Zhu family feel that they are not taught by Confucianism?

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Chongzhen said: "Yidi, beasts, fear of power but not virtue." Anyone who does not have a heart to the great Ming is Yidi. This matter is so decided, and Aiqing will not say any more. ”

Shi Jizhi raised his head slightly, and was about to object again, but he didn't want to see Emperor Chongzhen's face, so he suddenly felt a suddenness in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is ignorant." Yidi's human face and beast heart are not at ease, and they will be harmed. Your Majesty's move is very good, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty! ”

Chongzhen secretly scolded the cheap embryo in his heart. It turned out that Chongzhen, who was impatient to listen to nonsense just now, was ready to see if this imperial history had the courage to die or deceive the court staff. As long as he has it, Chongzhen is ready to fulfill him.

It's just that his face is born from the heart, and Chongzhen's vicious expression happened to be seen by Shi Jizhi, so he escaped the catastrophe.

Seeing that no one came out to oppose it again, Chongzhen continued: "The cement is already available, and I intend to build a cement straight road from Beijing to Nanjing to strengthen communication between the north and the south. It's just a matter of road construction, which is related to the important matter of communication between the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not allowed to use Jiannu prisoners, and priority is given to selecting refugees from all over the country, giving them money and food, so that they will not cause chaos. ”

After Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, received the order, Chongzhen said: "After the sacrifice of the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine, the vassal kings of various countries and various places will also enter Beijing for pilgrimage, right?" ”

Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the envoys of various countries and the envoys of the vassal kings have all arrived in Beijing. After the New Year, a Hajj pilgrimage will be arranged. ”

Chongzhen sighed and said, "Then let's make arrangements for Honglu to hold on to his life." In addition, I received a report from Jinyiwei that there are many deficiencies in the regular liquidation of positions in various places.

I have a word first, and I don't care about the past. This time, taking the opportunity of the pilgrimage of various countries to Beijing, he ordered the countries of Nanyang to pay tribute to grain, and if the amount of tribute was exceeded, the treasury would withdraw silver to buy it. Be sure to let the places often close to me full.

Also, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang cooperate to monitor, if anyone can't control their hands and make money from this, don't blame me for not being able to control the butcher knife in my hand! ”
