Did the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty have stupid people? There must be, King Fu is a typical stupid person who is not enough to die.

But it can also be said that there is none. Since the vassal kings basically have nothing to do with the throne, there will not be any big Confucian idle eggs who run to teach them what is called Shiyun and the like, most of them are hired by each prince on their own, plus the teachings of the previous kings.

Moreover, the old Zhu family is to raise the vassal king as a pig again, and there are still guards of honor, guards, and other educational resources that should be there, so after Emperor Jiajing came to power, even if he cultivates immortals and does not go to the court, he can still firmly control such a thing as the government.

Of course, Chongzhen just forget it. When he was a child, he was not taken seriously, and when his brother ascended the throne, he asked his husband to teach him to read, but unfortunately they were all righteous gentlemen, and a good baby was crippled.

Therefore, when the freshly baked Zongren Lingrui King Zhu Changhao, as well as the left and right Zongzhenghui King Zhu Changrun and Zhou King Zhu Gongyu got Chongzhen's edict to see himself and others, they actually had a few points in their hearts.

After the three kings had paid homage to the Son of Heaven first, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen in a loud voice: "Go and move the stool and let the three uncles sit down and speak." ”

After the three of them sat down, Chongzhen spoke first: "Uncle Rui Wang is my elder, and now he is the order of the sect, I want to hear Uncle Rui's opinion on Uncle Fu Wang's matter. ”

Ruiwang Zhu Changhao really wants to say that he has no fart opinion, you have made it clear that you want the life of King Fu, what can I think?

However, I thought in my heart, after all, the little kid in front of me was the emperor, and I really couldn't ignore his question.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhu Changhao said: "Your Majesty, the blessed king Zhu Changxun has lost his mind, which hurts the benevolence of Emperor Taizu. ”

Originally, this was a face-saving statement, anyway, after being abolished as a concubine, King Fu would not be able to fall well, but Zhu Xuehao still underestimated the character of Emperor Chongzhen too much.

Chongzhen sneered and said, "Shuren? Uncle Fu oppresses the people like this, this is digging the roots of the Ming Dynasty! Is it just a matter of being a commoner? He wants to dig the roots of Da Ming, so I will cut him first! ”

Zhu Changhao, Zhu Xuezhongrun, and Zhu Gongyu were taken aback when they heard this.

Emperor Chongzhen is too shameless, even if you send Jinyi Wei to assassinate King Fu after you are abolished as a concubine. It's a bit too much to say it so nakedly, or to say it directly in front of Wen Tiren and other courtiers, right?

It's just that without waiting for Zhu Changhao, Wen Tiren and others to persuade him again, Emperor Chongzhen preemptively spoke: "Spread my will, King Fu is immoral, and the people of Luodi have suffered for a long time. In addition to the lord's mansion, the blessed king Zhu Changxun and the princess, the prince and others all committed suicide. ”

Since Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, there was absolutely no reason to take them back, and when Zhu Changhao heard this, he had to reluctantly respond: "Minister, obey the order." ”

It's just that after receiving the decree, Zhu Changhao continued: "Your Majesty, how should the property of the Fuwang Mansion be disposed of?" Confiscated into the treasury or into the treasury? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said extremely shamelessly: "This is a matter of the heavenly family, the Fuwang Mansion should be a property, and it was confiscated into the interior after being jointly inspected by the brocade clothes and guards and the east and west factories for national use." ”

Just when Wen Tiren wanted to remind Emperor Chongzhen that there was no money left in the treasury, Chongzhen continued: "Oh, by the way, after the inspection is completed, I will allocate some more to the treasury to avoid the treasury being empty." ”

…… Very good, very shameless. You're really inherited from your ancestors! Wen Tiren couldn't, so he had to bow down and say, "The minister thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the household department." ”

Chongzhen snorted, and then continued: "In this way, is it feasible for me to go on a crusade to the east?" Can the treasury afford it? ”

Can you not always think about the Crusade! Crusade! You are the Emperor! Not a general!

Wen Tiren thought for a while before persuading: "Your Majesty, why do you have to drive the expedition in person? As long as the follow-up supplies can keep up, coupled with the containment of Hu Guogong, Jiannu will inevitably retreat. It's just a drought in Shaanxi, but it's in the skin, if you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid it will be in the bone marrow. ”

Chongzhen said: "If Jiannu does not retreat for a day, my heart will be unstable for a day." If the Dongjiang River is lost, Jiannu will have a place to rely on, but I am afraid that it will become a disaster. As for the land of Shaanxi, since the grain has been bought, the relief has been released, and the previous court also said that it would be necessary to rebuild the rivers and ditches in the land of Shanxi with work for relief? ”

This time, it was not Wen Tiren who spoke, Xu Xianchun answered: "Your Majesty, the relief food in the land of Shanxi can reach the hands of the victims, less than three or four out of ten!" ”

Xu Xianchun, who stabbed a hornet's nest, had long been ready to meet Emperor Chongzhen's thunderous wrath, but he unexpectedly did not wait.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen sneer and continued: "Okay, I can't imagine that there are three or four out of ten!" I thought that a twelve-eleven would be good! ”

Although Emperor Chongzhen's tone was flat, to Wen Tiren and the others, he felt that it was a big trouble.

Generally speaking, it is not a big deal for the emperor to be angry, whether it is scolding or scolding, as long as he can mix it up, he will mix it up, and maybe he will be able to get some benefits afterwards.

But this master is different, every time he is angry, the calmer he behaves, the greater the pressure of the fire underneath, once it erupts, I am afraid that the vegetable market will be crowded again.

Chongzhen said calmly: "What about six or seven out of ten? Don't tell me that the grain will grow wings and fly on its own? ”

Xu Xianchun bowed under pressure and said: "Your Majesty, in terms of ten percent of the grain, from the overseas subject country to Denglai, after the people eat the horses and chew, they will go to one percent." ”

"After going ashore from Denglai, it was transported to Tongzhou through Cao, and then from Tongzhou to Shaanxi, and only fifty percent remained. When it came to the victims, there were only three or four percent left. ”

Chongzhen snorted and asked Wen Tiren: "Under normal circumstances, from Denglai to Shaanxi, how many percent should be left?" ”

Wen Tiren calculated in his heart, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if it is a normal transfer, there should be six to seventy percent left after consumption, after all, I have traveled all the way by sea before, and the consumption is not large." The big head is when the people are transferred. ”

Chongzhen still sneered, and then asked Xu Xianchun: "What about the ones in the middle?" Where have they gone? ”

Xu Xianchun bowed and said: "The sea transport has lost one percent, the water transportation has lost one percent, the officials at all levels on the road have lost two percent, and the officials who distribute relief food have lost two percent." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Have all the previous decrees been delivered?" Can the land of Shaanxi be stable? ”

When Xu Xianchun heard this, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the will made by Your Majesty before, officials at all levels have already received it. At present, the land of Shaanxi is quite stable. It's just that there are already some signs of instability. ”

Chongzhen sneered: "Sprouts? I'm afraid that it won't be long before the smoke will break out! ”

After speaking, he asked Cui Chengxiu: "If there is a change in Shaanxi, who can quell the rebellion?" ”

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can order Yang Heping, the governor of the three sides, to be the prime minister, and to suppress and appease at the same time, and focus on appeasement." ”

Chongzhen glanced at Cui Chengxiu unexpectedly, originally thought that this guy should be directly suppressed, but he didn't expect to say such a thing as focusing on fu.

Chongzhen was curious and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

After Cui Chengxiu pondered for a while, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Shaanxi's instability lies in the lack of relief. If the people have food, who will think of rebelling? That's why the minister said that he should focus on caressing. As long as the follow-up relief food can keep up, the disaster will be calmed down. If there are any more stubborn people, it is not too late to vigorously suppress them. ”

After Chongzhen snorted, he turned to Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, "What do you think of the two Aiqing?" ”

Wen Tiren also bowed down and said, "The minister seconded what Cui Bing said. But as long as the people can live, they will not rebel easily. It's just that since there are already signs of instability in Shaanxi, the imperial court should be more prepared. ”

Shi Fenglai also bowed down and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he pondered for a while and said: "In this case, I secretly ordered Yang He to prepare for counterinsurgency, and if necessary, he can transfer troops from the land of Xuanda. You can caress the soothing, but you can't stroking the stool. If anyone rebels, he will be killed. ”

After speaking, Chongzhen continued to say to Xu Xianchun: "Who are the people drifting along the way, make a list for me." Ordered to be reviewed by the East Plant. ”

Although Chongzhen didn't say what to do after sorting out the list, in the eyes of Wen Tiren and others, this is not a matter of two heads at all.

Wen Tiren, who intended to change the topic, continued after Xu Xianchun bowed down to receive the order: "Your Majesty, when Your Majesty set out on the previous expedition, the Spring Ceremony had already been completed. I wonder when Your Majesty is going to take the palace test? ”

Chongzhen thought about it, and now that he was going to Liaodong, half of the matter was yellow, and the possibility of going there was not too great, so he said, "Three days later." Ming'er's big court will first reward the meritorious soldiers, and then inform the world of the matter of my relatives, so that the people can follow Le Yile together. ”
