Chapter 236: The Smoke Rises in Shaanxi (4,000 Words)
Time is flickering, and it has reached the end of September in the first year of Chongzhen.
As Empress Zhou's belly grew day by day, Emperor Chongzhen's heart slowly rose.
This is not the first time I have been a father, I have experience in my previous life.
But after this crossing, this is the first time to be a father. And Emperor Chongzhen, who is a novice in history, doesn't know whether the first child of the genuine Emperor Chongzhen is a boy or a girl, especially if there is any change after he crosses, let alone know.
However, no matter how worried Emperor Chongzhen was, it was impossible for him to give birth to a child for Empress Zhou - he didn't have this function!
In addition to telling the Ke family and Wang Chengen to pay more attention, Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't need to fart, so he could only accompany Empress Zhou more and comfort Empress Zhou.
However, Emperor Chongzhen's life was not good.
Someone reversed it.
Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian's secret report almost reached the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, and Gong Jiaping, the governor of Xi'an Prefecture in Shaanxi, also delivered to the cabinet at an expedited speed of 600 miles.
Wen Tiren almost wanted to say goodbye to his hometown.
There is no one who can make people worry. Since he became the first assistant, there is not much imaginary scenery, but there are no fewer days of worrying about fear.
Wen Tiren couldn't figure out how the following magistrates were so bold, even if Emperor Chongzhen visited Shaanxi privately and killed people, these people still had the courage to force the people to rebel.
No matter how much he scolded in his heart, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to delay this matter. Wen Tiren pulled Shi Fenglai and hurriedly ran to the palace to see Emperor Chongzhen, ignoring that it was almost evening.
When Wen Tiren and Shi Feng came to see Emperor Chongzhen, they secretly glanced at Emperor Chongzhen's face, and the two of them chuckled in their hearts, and secretly said that it was bad.
As long as you look at the face of this master in the imperial study, you know that this matter in Shaanxi has happened, and Emperor Chongzhen already knows.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai in front of him, and said lightly: "Say, what's the matter." ”
Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Baishui County, Tongzhou, Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, the county people and Wang Er gathered to attack the filial piety of Pucheng, and Zichuan Town of Hancheng.
King Jiayin of Fugu and King Zuo of Yichuan hung up together, attacked the castle, and killed officials. Ansai Gao Yingxiang gathered the crowd to respond, claiming to be the king. ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, raised the piece in his hand and said, "I have received the news. It's just another civil uprising. I was prepared. ”
Wen Tiren and Shi Feng came to hear this, but they were quite surprised.
At this time, shouldn't Emperor Chongzhen be furious, kill someone first and vent the anger in his heart? How do you behave so calmly?
The two were thinking in their hearts, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen say: "Dai Yongyi, the county commander of Baishui County, colluded with the local township Shenduan Mingde, encroached on more than 1,000 acres of private land, and got 1,000 taels of silver.
Hu Qinghan, the magistrate of Fugu County, didn't even bother to do the face-saving work of colluding with the squire, so he directly started by himself, and privately embezzled more than 500 acres of people's land in the name of the housekeeper, forcing three out of 70 people to death.
The county magistrate of Yichuan took advantage of the jealousy, simply swallowed half of the relief grain and then sold the grain at a high price, but the people starved to death, but there were more than 200 households that were ruined because of these high-priced grains.
Ansai, the local master Chu Shichen felt that the land under his name was not his own, so he simply took advantage of the God-given opportunity of the great drought in Shaanxi to include these lands in his name, as for Gao Yingxiang, he couldn't live, but he still waited for death? ”
By the time Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai were already eager to arrest Gong Jiaping, the governor of Xi'an Prefecture and Tongzhou, to the capital, and then ask Jinyiwei for instructions on the method of execution, and personally execute Ya's death!
Gong Jiaping's recital only said that Wang Er, the county citizen of Baishui County, rebelled and gathered people to attack the county seat, and the county commander Dai Yongyi had been killed in battle, but this bastard didn't say anything about Dai Yongyi, a bastard, colluding with the squire to make money!
It's just that this kind of thing is common in officialdom after all, and it's not worth making a fuss.
Wen Tiren hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Shaanxi is against the ground, and it is advisable to send a large army to attack it quickly." Before His Majesty visited Shaanxi, he had already planned to take Yang He, the governor of the three sides, as the prime minister, to suppress and pacify him. ”
Emperor Chongzhen hummed, but did not speak.
I don't know what went wrong when I crossed by myself, but the result was that there was no goldfinger, no grandfather, no library, and no Gatling with blue fire, no matter how bad it was, there was no damn memory of this little shit in the Ming Dynasty!
The result is the current result, knowing that this is the first time to dig a grave for Daming, Gao Yingxiang also knows the name, and Wang Jiayin also has an impression, but he just doesn't know which guy is the most difficult to deal with this time!
It's the same as playing a game, you can't even figure out which the biggest and most difficult boss is, how to play? What's more, Emperor Chongzhen started with a dog, and now he has a little family background after fighting all the way, and his confidence is still insufficient.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen became a little resentful again, even if he let himself cross with the equipment used by those black uncles in the East African PLA, such a little rebellion and Jiannu is just a matter of five pairs of rounds to get a few rounds, and if one shot is not enough, two shots.
Or give yourself some knowledge of history, or give yourself a little bit of science and engineering knowledge, it's always fucking better than starting a dog like this, and nothing will be much stronger.
However, it is useless to think about it.
Just when Emperor Chongzhen was distracted, Wen Tiren bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty? ”
Emperor Chongzhen was unhappy. Why should these bastard moths make themselves unhappy, you are all officials, and you are all fucking unhappy with me!
Emperor Chongzhen, who came back to his senses, hummed and ordered: "Ring the Jingyang bell and summon hundreds of officials into the palace to discuss matters." ”
As soon as Shi Fenglai heard Emperor Chongzhen's tone, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was preparing to make things bigger, so he immediately objected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not appropriate to ring Jingyang Bell now." It is not a major event of the country, Jingyang Zhongju civil and military officials can not easily knock when they enter the palace, Your Majesty does not see the story of the princes of Youwang Fengwang back then? ”
Chongzhen sneered and said, "A major event of the country? What is a major matter of the state? It is not the death of an emperor that is called a major event of the country, and it is not the death of the country that is called a major event of the country.
Once the country is destroyed, I will break this Jingyang bell and break it, who will enter the palace to escort it? ”
Although Emperor Chongzhen is a little white, he also knows that the Chongzhen Emperor in history has knocked this Jingyang bell, and the consequences are very touching - because the last loyal dog of the old Zhu family, the British duke, also died on the battlefield, and the entire Ming Dynasty's civil and military officials and relatives were noble, and none of them entered Beijing to listen to the edict!
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen, who has crossed over, vigorously appointed factory guards, and has many rewards for the British public family, and he doesn't care what the British public family will let others think - either look at it with your eyes, or don't look at it, and if you want to die, you still want to die.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's words just now scared Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai to kneel down early, what died an emperor, what died when the country died, this kind of words came out of the mouth of an emperor, it was too fucking scary.
Wen Tiren kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is cautious." The guilt of the ministers has made His Majesty worried. I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body. ”
Shi Fenglai also followed: "The ministers are guilty, which makes Your Majesty worry so much. I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body. ”
Chongzhen said, "What can I do if I take care of my dragon body? Could it be that if I take care of the dragon body, these bastards will not be greedy? The people who can't survive won't rebel? ”
Seeing that Wen Tiren still wanted to persuade again, Chongzhen simply said: "Wen Aiqing and Shi Aiqing don't need to persuade again, just go with me and wait for the officials." ”
When the bewildered civil and military officials and nobles from all walks of life who were confused by the sudden ringing of the Jingyang bell rushed to the palace, they saw Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, and Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai stood in their positions early and waited.
After Baiguan Mountain called for long live, Chongzhen first said with a gloomy face: "Do you still remember the drought in Shaanxi?" ”
In just two days, the big guy was still trained by Emperor Chongzhen in this hall like his grandson, and by the way, the vegetable market was also full of people, who would dare to forget?
Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one jumped out to speak, so he casually picked up the Jinyi Wei secret report he had just taken, threw it into the open space in front of him, and continued: "Wen Aiqing, read it to all Aiqing." ”
Wang Chengen quickly stepped forward to pick up the secret report, walked down and handed it to Wen Tiren, and then returned to Emperor Chongzhen and stood beside him.
Wen Tiren opened the secret report and glanced at it, and found that it was similar to the news he heard from Emperor Chongzhen just now, so he turned around and said loudly: "Your Majesty Chentian Ergeng: After investigation, Dai Yongyi, the county commander of Baishui County, colluded with the squire Zhang Zhikui to occupy more than 1,000 acres of land and obtain thousands of taels of silver.
Hu Qing Hanyin, the magistrate of Fugu County, embezzled more than 500 acres of land in the name of a housekeeper and forced three out of 70 people to death. Wang Jiayin, a native of Kuanping Village, Huangfu Township, rebelled with Wu Yangui and others.
Qi Chengji, the county governor of Yichuan, embezzled 1,500 stone of relief grain, the amount of which was nearly half of the relief grain, and then sold grain at a high price, and more than 200 households were ruined because of buying grain and begging. The county citizen Wang Zuo raised troops to rebel.
Ansai raised people Chu Shichen to take advantage of the drought in Shaanxi to embezzle more than 500 acres of donated fields, forcing Gao Yingxiang to rebel, and the high thief claimed to be the king. ”
After Wen Tiren read the secret report of the Jinyi Guard, the civil and military officials and nobles in the entire hall were all cold.
Everyone knows what kind of character this Chongzhen Emperor is now.
Although the original Emperor of the Apocalypse launched Wei Zhongxian as a target to fight with the Donglin Party and civil and military officials, he was still a little face-saving, and he never tore his face at any time.
But this man is different.
If you are in a bad mood, it is good that you don't provoke this lord on weekdays, but if you provoke this lord, whether it is Huang Liji who was hung at the noon gate, or Lin Dan Khan, whose subordinates were built more than ten Beijing temples, they are all waiting for someone to accompany them.
Even if this is not enough, what about Fan Wencheng? The big guy doesn't know, the kneeling statue in front of the Martyrs' Shrine is where Fan Wencheng himself kneels, and it is estimated that there is no hope of standing up in his life.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the butter candles lit in the main hall illuminated the entire hall again. It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's face is becoming more and more invisible.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers in the hall and said, "Have you heard of it?" What do you think? ”
Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the opposite of the official forcing the people, and since his generation is harming the people, he is cutting himself off from the world." The top priority at the moment is to deal with these people who have harmed the people, and then to appease the people. ”
Chongzhen sneered and said, "Then Cui Aiqing said, how to deal with these people who harm the people?" ”
Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but not the secretary of the Ministry of Crime, even if he was choked by Chongzhen's words.
Su Maoxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out of the class and said: "Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Wu Yangui, Wang Zuohang, Gao Yingxiang, etc., should be punished by the nine clans according to the law, thinking that the latecomers are admonished."
Emperor Chongzhen snorted and asked rhetorically, "What about these officials?" ”
Su Maoxiang said: "Your Majesty, Dai Yongyi, the county commander of Baishui County, Hu Qinghan of Fugu County, and Qi Chengji, the county governor of Yichuan, should peel the skin and grass according to the law, and exile the family for three thousand miles. Ansai Juren Chu Shichen is not an official, and he can be hanged according to the law. ”
Chongzhen sneered and said, "Su Aiqing is really familiar with Da Ming Law. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people who rebelled against them would be punished by the nine clans, and these officials themselves died, and their families were just exiles, and what benefits did their relatives get from them? ”
Su Maoxiang was speechless. The Da Ming Law is so stipulated, can you still revise the Da Ming Law with a criminal department book?
These rebels do not punish the nine clans, will the people behind them follow the example and rebel?
As for these officials, corruption is originally a matter of peeling the skin and grass, and it is not for nothing that they want harsher punishments, but the emperor and your old man have to speak in person.
It's just that Su Maoxiang's idea immediately became true.
Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Order Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to be the governor of Shaanxi, and the prime minister to quell the chaos."
Ordered Jinyi Wei to lock Dai Yongyi, the county commander of Baishui County, Hu Qinghan of Fugu County, and Qi Chengji of Yichuan County, and the nine clans of their generation were locked together. Ansai raised Chu Shichen and dealt with it separately.
After Yang He marched into the army, he ordered him to be in front of the battle, and punished Dai Yongyi, the county commander of Baishui County, Hu Qinghan of Fugu County, and Qi Chengji of Yichuan County.
Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Wu Yangui, Wang Zuohang, and Gao Yingxiang, if they wish to surrender, they will be executed, and their families and nine clans will be exempted from their crimes. ”
Su Maoxiang objected: "Your Majesty, if you deal with it like this, it is inevitable that some people will imitate such acts in the future, and if they are slightly dissatisfied, they will raise the flag and rebel, what should we do then?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen said: "If you can't live, who wants to raise the flag and rebel?" There is no need to discuss this matter again, this is my special purpose, and it cannot be a case for future affairs. ”
