Emperor Chongzhen admired the officials of the Ming Dynasty, because the strength of these guys' ability to go forward and die is incomparably strong, and their desires are also incomparably strong.

Originally, I was thinking about whether my butcher's knife and high salary policy would make these officials rein in, and then the ideal was very plump, and the reality was very skinny.

Zhao Xinyi, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, who had not been in office for two years, topped the list with the strength of embezzling more than 6 million taels of silver, and became the first second-grade member of Chongzhen to be used to sacrifice to the sky in seven years.

It was followed by Nanjing Hubu Shangshu with 4 million taels of silver, and the Nanjing Criminal Department gave 1 million taels to the position of Tanhua.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of large and small ones involved more than 30 people.

At this point, even if the reason for Yingtianfu Dilong's turnaround is found-how many of the tens of millions of taels of corruption cases are the blood and sweat of the people? God doesn't get angry, is it possible?

So this ultimately proves what Emperor Chongzhen said, natural disasters are God's warning that the emperor has rebellious ministers and thieves.

Ordinary people still love their own babies, and when God sees that someone wants to pit their stupid son, can they hurry up and make some movement to remind them?

Although the way of reminding is a bit simple and crude, it is a reminder anyway, isn't it?

Therefore, Zhao Xinyi and others, who angered the heavens, were directly sent to the vegetable market, and their families were easily assigned to repair the railway.

In short, the earthquake in September of the seventh year of Chongzhen is really too pitiful, and you have to give an explanation to the people of the world.

Then the official Shangshu Fang Zhuangli said that he was really blind, of course, the bigwigs in the cabinet were not going anywhere, so that they got these bastards to the position of the second grade, and they were ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor and the country, so he asked His Majesty to deal with it.

Then Emperor Chongzhen said very much that people are not saints and sages, and these bastards can't blame Fang Aiqing for their deaths, don't take it too seriously, just serve the country well.

Zhao Xinyi and others used their heads and blood to teach all the officials of the Ming Dynasty a lesson - they are greedy when they have nothing to do, and they are easy to be cut down when they have something.

In December of the seventh year of Chongzhen, because of the solar eclipse, after cutting a batch of petty officials of five or six grades, the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty began to know one thing.

Usually don't do things well, if there is really any problem such as celestial phenomena, he will really be pulled out by Emperor Chongzhen and beheaded.

Then at the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen, when the eighth year of Chongzhen was coming, Li Liang, the king of Ayayang, Korea, gave Emperor Chongzhen a problem, and King Shangfeng of the Ryukyus also began to behave as a demon.

In line with the principle that no matter how poor you are, you can't be a poor father, and no matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter about the emperor, and because Emperor Chongzhen has not been able to recruit the harem since he ascended the throne, Li Liang simply collected a group of beauties in Korea and sent them to Emperor Chongzhen.

By the time Emperor Chongzhen knew about this, the beauties had already arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and they were about to arrive in the capital.

For Ayayang Jun Li Lian, Emperor Chongzhen's impression is still good - the first loyal dog among Zhufan is not blown, in order to get closer to the Ming Dynasty, this guy even killed the previous Guanghai Jun Li Hui, and he also paid the military salary and grain and grass of Mao Wenlong's department in Dongjiang Town without regrets.

But what does this guy mean by sending beautiful women? Emperor Chongzhen really has no interest in opening the harem.

After all, there are too many problems in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not too many government affairs to deal with every day, so wouldn't you exhaust yourself to death if you engage in so many harems?

Besides, if those North Korean women look like later generations, with big pie faces and small eyes, how can you look at it, there is no high-tech such as minimally invasive plastic surgery at this time.

Of course, even if there is plastic surgery technology, no one dares to give such an artificial beauty to Emperor Chongzhen, unless he thinks he has lived too long.

Although Emperor Chongzhen had the intention to refuse, he was also worried that the refusal would hurt the kindness of Li Liang, the king of Ayayang, so he had no choice but to laugh at it, and after dividing them into a lower grade, he threw it to the queen to deal with.

The queen is good, I have long been quite sorry that Emperor Chongzhen will not open the harem, and I have been thinking about helping Emperor Chongzhen get some concubines or something, and replace them with the wives of future generations - forget it, I don't dare to think about it.

After all, a dog's life matters.

If it's just a girl or something, of course Emperor Chongzhen is laughing, but Ayayang Jun Li Liang also put forward another request - boss, do you want to dig up more ginseng and sell it? Authentic Korean ginseng.

Emperor Chongzhen also knows that Korean ginseng is a good thing, this thing is a big supplement, the problem is that what Daming needs now is not this thing, but his mother's food! Grain! Grain!

However, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't refuse-he didn't need this thing, there were many good things in the palace, and it was not bad for one or two catties of Korean ginseng.

But this thing is nothing remarkable, and the idiot who replaced it might not agree, and Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over, said that he would sell it casually, isn't it just a white radish thing.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and they can't afford it, so this thing basically has no impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Even if this thing sells too much, the price may be pushed down by the sticks themselves, and they can sell it as they please.

Therefore, although Ayayang-kun's matter is a little troublesome, it is nothing, and the request made by King Shangfeng is a big trouble.

I don't know which tendon is abnormal, but I actually wrote to Emperor Chongzhen to ask for it, and it is very completely attached - the entire Ryukyu belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, please send civil officials to govern and garrison soldiers.

As for King Shangfeng himself, it is not that there are no conditions, but those conditions are simply funny in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen - please allow Daming's father to allow him to live in the capital.

For this kind of condition that is not even a condition, Emperor Chongzhen, who was still thinking about when to swallow Korea and Ryukyu into his stomach, hesitated - did King Shangfeng cause any trouble and asked Daming's father to solve it for him?

However, whether it is Shi Fenglai, the governor of Kyushu Island, who is responsible for protecting the Ryukyus, Zheng Zhilong of the South China Sea Fleet, and the East China Sea Fleet, there is no information to transmit, which is very strange.

Even if Zheng Zhilong has been playing ocean transportation, if there is any movement, the East China Sea Fleet should also report it.

Does this product really want to be attached and completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty?

Treating others with himself, Emperor Chongzhen felt that if he replaced himself, let alone just being an idle prince, it was impossible to give himself a prince with real power.

No, this is still thinking from the perspective of his own emperor.

But even if he puts himself in the position of King Shangfeng, he can't make such a fucking request - the phrase "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the ox" is known by a person.

No matter how small the Ryukyus are, they are also the emperor of the soil behind closed doors, so why do they have to go to other countries to be an idle prince?

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could not understand.

But it doesn't matter if you can't understand it, the son once said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.

And Zi once said that he was sensitive and studious, and he was not ashamed to ask.

Therefore, the keen and studious Emperor Chongzhen passed Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian, as well as Wei Zhongxian, who had retired to semi-retirement, to the palace, and planned to ask questions shamelessly.

If you have something to discuss with these three guys, there will basically be no big problems.

Regarding Emperor Chongzhen's statement that King Shangfeng asked for a complete annex and was willing to offer the household register, Wen Tiren was confused, and even Wei Zhongxian, who had played with his heart all his life, felt a little confused.

Because if you change it to yourself, it is indeed unlikely that you will hand over everything just to change the position of an idle prince.

But Zhang Weixian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Ryukyu Shangfeng is sincerely attached and can agree." ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, but did not speak, but motioned for Zhang Weixian to continue.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Weixian said: "The previous lords of the Shang family, except for the founding ancestor, the rest of the Shang family are close to the Central Plains.

Since the southern invasion of Meng Yuan and the eastward crossing, the Shang family once broke off the connection with the Central Plains, and it was only after Emperor Taizu Gao set things right and restored my Chinese clothes that the Shang family resumed the tribute again.

Later, there was a rebellion by the Japanese slaves and seized the Amami Islands, and His Majesty's edict made the Wa Kingdom return the Amami Islands, and it became a normal thing for the lord of the Shang clan to want to attach it. ”

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen is very curious - didn't he already issue an edict asking the Wa Kingdom to return the Amami Islands to Ryukyu before? Why is this guy still thinking about attached?

Zhang Weixian broke through the sky in one sentence: "The Ryukyu Kingdom is small and weak, and even the Japanese State cannot resist, and the soldiers are outnumbered, and even the prince of the Wang Shizi has to go to the Japanese Kingdom to be a proton, which is not enough to defend the temple."

In addition to the Wa Kingdom, there were pirates and Xiyi in the East China Sea, and the Ryukyus could not even resist the Japanese slaves, so it was in vain to talk about the Xiyi.

It is estimated that it is also because of this that King Shangfeng will repeatedly ask for the attachment. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and he knew a little in his heart - this is the same as the southern stick in later generations always looking for Yingchan to be his father, and the northern stick always looking for the Celestial Empire to be his father, the sorrow of a small country is like that.

Since this is the case, then there is nothing to be polite, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and asked: "I have the intention to allow it, but I am afraid that the world will discuss it." ”

It's shameless to say this, lest the world discuss it? Who is the meeting? Is it the people of the Ming Dynasty or other Tibetan countries?

Obviously, the people of the Ming Dynasty would not care about the boring question of which small country asked for attachment or which small country His Majesty the Emperor killed.

They are concerned about their own family's taxes, the food in the bowl, and the rest doesn't matter - after all, Emperor Chongzhen has never harmed his family's food and daughters, no matter how you look at it, how to be a Ming Jun.

Then the rest are the other Tibetan countries.

The Ryukyus are attached, and those who know will understand why the Ryukyus are attached, but those who don't know will understand why the Ryukyus are attached?

Could it be said that the Ming Dynasty oppresses people with power?

Could it be said that Emperor Chongzhen's eating appearance is too ugly?

But Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to take Ryukyu into his pocket.

Although that place is not big, it is extremely critical - no one has stipulated that there can only be one aircraft carrier that will never sink, and it is okay to have many, right?

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said, "Emperor, why don't you go to see King Shangfeng?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile and said, "Are you going?" Zhongxian, I remember that you are sixty-seven years old this year, right? ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said: "Yes, the emperor is good to remember." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I'll leave this matter to you, I don't worry, but you are already sixty-seven, and if you toss Ryukyu again, you won't be able to stand it." ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "The slave is willing to die for the emperor!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "It's just a Ryukyus, it's not worth folding you into it for this." ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen directly instructed Wang Chengen: "Prepare an edict to enter Beijing with King Shangfeng of Ryukyu." ”

Wei Zhongxian's body bones are indeed not very good, and when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's order, he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The emperor can't, a slave is a eunuch, it's not worth it!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Get up and speak." I know your loyalty, and you have suffered a lot over the years, and I know it. It's just a little king of the Tibetan country, and I know which is more important. ”

Wei Zhongxian slowly got up from the ground, but his face was already full of old tears.

Regardless of whether Emperor Chongzhen is sincere or false, he can say these words for himself as an old eunuch, and even the king of Ryukyu Shangfeng will be edicted into the capital, which is a great kindness.

After all, in such a sensitive period, it is easier for people to associate with King Shangfeng.

Wei Zhongxian thinks that our family's life is worth it! has served two generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the two generations of emperors regard themselves as confidants, which is not easy.

Zhang Weixian doesn't care very much, he has the same idea as Emperor Chongzhen - now the horses of the Ming Dynasty can fight and fight, which is basically the same as the strong army at the time of the founding of the country, and the guys in their hands are hard enough.

Not to mention that the Ryukyu Shang clan wants to annex it, even if they don't want to, as long as Emperor Chongzhen is determined to take Ryukyu, it is not too difficult.

After all, it is enough to send the East China Sea Fleet over for an armed parade.

Therefore, Zhang Weixian had no other thoughts about Emperor Chongzhen summoning King Shangfeng into Beijing.

Wen Tiren bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send an imperial historian to envoy Ryukyu in the name of canonizing the prince of the king?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand indifferently and said: "No need, send an imperial historian, but you may not be able to figure out what I think, it is better to let Shang Feng come to the capital and let Zhongxian see him first."

If Zhongxian can't talk to him, it's okay for me to see Shang Feng again. ”

Of course, Wen Tiren said that he could, but the only problem was that he didn't know if he would be able to return to Ryukyu alive without disturbing him.

Or how many days will you be able to survive after returning to the Ryukyus.

But with such a willful emperor, what can Wen Tiren do? Not only Wen Tiren, but what can the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty do?

Although Emperor Chongzhen is very reasonable most of the time, but don't be ashamed, what is unreasonable, it is always Emperor Chongzhen who is reasonable.
