Chapter Twenty-Six: What I Give You Is Yours!

Chongzhen's words made the courtiers cover their faces with their sleeves, and their faces were blue and red.

Immediately, there was a royal history out of the class and said: "Your Majesty." Mencius said: The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. What His Majesty said today is not what Ming Jun did. ”

Chongzhen smiled: "So, it's me, isn't it?" ”

The imperial history said: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Chongzhen said with a smile: "Just now, Qing said that there was no money left in the family, so did he sell the house to help the country?"

So Ai Qing came to tell me, what about the newly relocated outer room in Dongsi Hutong? Where did the two thousand taels of silver come from for your outer chamber?

Aiqing does not have much property under his name, but where did the more than 300 acres of fertile land under the name of Aiqing's younger brother come from? ”

The imperial history hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister is afraid! Minister...... Guilty! ”

Chongzhen didn't look at the imperial history, and then said: "What are you afraid of? How dare you dare to do it?

Chen Mo, word without words, was originally a five-year jinshi of the apocalypse, and the sixth year of the apocalypse, and entered the imperial history.

In just two years, he accepted a three-room concubine and two outer rooms outside. The cost of the government is more than 3,000 taels of silver per month. Chen Aiqing came to tell me, where did this money come from? ”

The imperial history knew that he was not lucky, and he no longer spoke of defense, but just knelt on the ground and was silent.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to it, and continued: "Aiqing also has a part in the Yongchang ticket number, right?" How does it feel to have money every day without doing anything? Isn't it hot to hold this money? ”

After Chongzhen said this, he simply walked down from the imperial steps, crossed the minister of civil and military affairs, and came to the position of Zhou Guozhang, and said: "Jiadingbo was originally a fortune teller on the street, since Zhou entered the palace of the king of letters, Aiqing has ascended to the sky, and now he is even more noble. It's just that I also ask Jiading Bo to teach me, where did the more than 200,000 taels of silver in my family come from? How much fertile land is there outside the city? It's just that Jiadingbo, do you really think that you can be lawless if you are the ruler of the country? ”

Ignoring the sweaty Zhou Guozhang, Chongzhen returned to the imperial steps, glanced at the ministers below, and said: "The three hundred years of the national dynasty have been raising soldiers, and the ancestors and ancestors are trained every day, ancestral training!" But I forgot that the ancestors did not teach the people to wait for fish and meat! Forget that corruption is to be skinned!

The dynasty was very tolerant of the secretary before, but in exchange for it, I regarded you as a confidant, and you regarded me as an enemy! ”

Looking at the important ministers of the court who knelt on the ground below, Chongzhen suddenly burst out with an evil fire, and said angrily: "Where are Tian Ergeng and Cao Huachun?" ”

Tian Ergeng hurriedly went out of the class and said: "The minister is here!" ”

Cao Huachun also said: "The slave is here!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers and said angrily: "Yushi Chen Mo, bullying the monarch and being corrupt!" Dressed in brocade clothes and raiding the house! Chen Mo himself peeled the skin and grass! Hanging at the noon gate, accompanied by Huang Liji! After Jiannu retreated, the three clans were exiled to the Lingnan miasma, and they were not pardoned! Inventory of the family's field property, should not be in the Huangzhuang! ”

Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen dealt with it so heavily, Shoufu Wen Tiren had to go out and play: "Your Majesty, Chen Mo is corrupt and damned, and the law of his own dynasty is here." What are the three clans? The minister thinks that His Majesty's punishment is too much, and I hope His Majesty will see it. ”

Chongzhen stared at Wen Tiren and said, "Why are the three clans innocent? Lord Wen told me that the people who had their fields taken away by his family were innocent?! And who of his people has not received any benefit from him? The younger brother in the family has more than 300 acres of fertile land, and the people in the clan are under his shadow and have never paid a penny of tax for the country! This is really one person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven! Since we have reaped the benefits, we will naturally have to suffer together! ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wen Tiren, and said to the ministers: "Da Ming Law, all the benefits and diseases of the army and the people, and no suggestions are allowed for the living." If there are all the things that benefit the military and the people, there should be a division, a sage in the field, a strong man with ambition, a simple farmer, and a businessman's skills. Let no one hinder them. But the living are not allowed.

Now in Jinggong, he gave birth to a certain Qian, vainly discussing the government and slandering the palace. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the name of the student was removed, and the guard was repatriated in brocade clothes.

Ignoring the ministers who were stunned by his sudden and ruthless disposal of the students, Chongzhen said to Cao Huachun again: "The queen has no way to discipline her relatives, and she studies behind closed doors for a month, and she is not allowed to enter and leave the harem for half a step without an edict." Guozhang Zhou Kui accepted filial piety, encroached on people's land, and discussed the pro-system with the law of the Ming Dynasty, and was not investigated. However, if the Ming Dynasty has a law, there is a law that must be followed, and violations must be investigated. His order, Jiadingbo's eldest son accepted it on his father's behalf, and ordered him to commit suicide! Dongchang tracked down the land occupied by Jiading Bofu, and it should have been confiscated into Huangzhuang, and Jiannu would be disposed of after retreating. ”

After listening to Chongzhen's disposition, Zhou Guozhang was half frightened, and then he realized that what his daughter summoned him last night was not a joke!

Zhou Guozhang, who came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty! The minister is guilty! I would like to donate 200,000 taels of silver! The minister is willing to donate all the family property! Your Majesty, spare the ministers this time! ”

Chongzhen looked at Zhou Guozhang and sneered: "Isn't Jiading Bo a poetry and book heirloom, cultivating and reading for a living?" How did you have a net worth of 200,000 taels again?!

I already gave you a chance yesterday, and if I don't grasp it, who is to blame? ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Guozhang, who was crying bitterly, and Chongzhen said to the ministers again: "Remember, what I gave you is yours." If I don't give it, who dares to stretch out his hand and wipe out his family! ”

"Retreat!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who once again killed people in the court, let his brother-in-law commit suicide because he let his brother-in-law commit suicide, and felt shameless to the queen opposite, so he simply ordered someone to change himself into that extremely coquettish golden armor, and went to Deshengmen again.

Only this time, Chongzhen brought Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin together, and the three of them went together, planning to discuss with Man Gui how to ruthlessly pit Jiannu.

Emperor Chongzhen ran away, and the princes of the court were very bad. Only then did Zhou Guozhang realize that none of the courtiers who were close to him in the past stood up to speak for him, so he completely figured out what his daughter said, angered the Son of Heaven, and the consequences were not something his family could bear.

And several bigwigs of the Donglin Party, but after making a look at each other, they dispersed, after returning home, each of them had different thoughts, and for a time there was a mountain rain in the capital that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

When the curfew approached in the evening, all the bigwigs of the Donglin Party gathered in the cabinet assistant Zhou Yan.

After rejecting all the subordinates, Zhou Yanru first spoke: "When today's son is brutal, I am afraid that he will be the king of the Jie, and it is not enough to serve the temple!" And that set the tone for the conversation.

Hou Sui, the squire of the Ministry of War, said: "Yes, when today's son reuses the eunuch factory guard, he is so afraid that the country will not be a country!" I wait for the gentleman of Donglin, when the side of the Qing monarch, the authentic temple! ”

Another person opened his mouth and rebuked: "Be careful! Do you want to rebel? We are waiting for the sake of the country, how can we clear the king's side! ”

Another imperial historian said: "Our imperial history should directly advise the king's mistakes." There is a way that the law does not blame the public, tomorrow I will wait for the imperial historian to go to the palace gate to cry, so that His Majesty the Emperor will kill the eunuch party and correct the dynasty! If the emperor does not repent, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen. ”
