In Daming, being rich is really nothing. Especially for the uncles of Jinyiwei, rich? It can turn you into a beggar in minutes. Does Shen Wansan have any money? That's a rich man who dares to fight with Emperor Taizu Gao for financial resources and build a city wall in half, but isn't he also taught to be a man?

Therefore, it is not enough to have money alone, and that is called the rich man of the land. In the Ming Dynasty, even in the future generations, and even in the whole world, it is the same, you have to have someone.

Who are they? Scholars, officials.

First of all, you have to have a reader to wave the flag and create a momentum for you, no matter what, as long as you can get a reader to praise you and fight for a good reputation, then you are half the battle.

Again, you have to praise other people's readers, and it is best to praise them as officials. Although the scholar who has become an official will definitely not shout for you anymore, he may become the umbrella of your shopping mall.

This umbrella is very important, without the protection of this umbrella, even if you have more money, it is just a fat sheep - in order to avoid the umbrella you have raised to slaughter yourself as a fat sheep, you have to support your own family center, the brothers of your own clan, of course, you are much more at ease.

Obviously, the guys in this shop regarded Emperor Chongzhen as a fat sheep. Dressed as a rich son, although he has a good bearing, but in the eyes of this guy, he is just a different fat sheep.

So, as the man in the shop of the hundred households of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, there is obviously no problem with scolding a fat sheep, can the fat sheep still bite Lao Tzu's bird?

can only say thanks to this guy's sentence: "Why fight with these mud-legged people for this mouthful of food", although Emperor Chongzhen pulled his face into a black donkey face after hearing his whispered muttering, but he still didn't plan to do anything to this guy - I don't know how many people in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the grassland and Liaodong secretly scolded themselves for being a dog emperor, and this little thing is nothing.

Seeing that it was already noon, Chongzhen simply ordered: "Let's go, let's go eat something first, and then go to the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households here to have a look." ”

It's just that after everyone finished eating and drinking, after arriving at the Jinyiwei Baihu Office in Chang'an County, through the half-open gate, you can just see two or three big cats and kittens in the entire Baihu Office, but the others can't see it.

This time, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's face to darken first, Zhu Gang's face darkened first. The people in the hundred households in Chang'an County don't know what to do, if they are caught by Emperor Chongzhen again, they are afraid that Jinyiwei will have to eat melons up and down.

After asking Emperor Chongzhen for instructions first, Zhu Gang strode forward and kicked on the gate of the hundred households for half a day.

Only Zhu Gang's leg had not been completely put down, and he heard a "bang", but a crossbow arrow flew past Zhu Gang's leg and was deeply inserted into the door panel.

In the distance, two captains dressed in flying fish suits held crossbows in their hands, staring at Zhu Gang with dead eyes: "Your Excellency is so bold, dare to kick the gate of the Jinyi Guard!" ”

Zhu Gang sneered and said, "Who taught you to point a crossbow arrow at Shangguan like this?" Are you tired of being crooked? ”

The leader Xiaoqi glanced at Zhu Gang, and hesitated a little when he landed - after all, ordinary people kicked the door of Jinyiwei, it was better to die.

Although this Xiaoqi believed that Zhu Gang was Shangguan a little bit in his heart, he did not relax, still stared at Zhu Gang, but said: "There is no basis for your words, throw your waist card over, if you are really Shangguan, the little one should make amends." ”

Zhu Gang slowly reached out and pulled out the waist card tied around his waist, and then raised the waist card separately to show that there was nothing else, and then threw it far away.

Seeing this, the little flag said to the captain beside him: "You go and see if it's true or not." ”

The captain understood, so he slowly squatted down, holding the already wound crossbow in one hand to Zhu Gang, and the other hand slowly stretched out to the waist card that Zhu Gang threw over.

After picking up the waist card thrown by Zhu Gang and inspecting it, and repeatedly confirming the unique secret mark of the Jinyi Guard on it, the captain simply put away the crossbow and said to the small flag headed by him: "Thousands of households in the capital." ”

Although the little flag didn't know why the Hundred Households in the capital, which had always only heard of his name and not seen his people, had the time to take people to such a place in Chang'an County where birds don't, he still knelt on one knee, bowed his head and clenched his fists and pleaded: "I don't know if it's a hundred households, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Gang snorted coldly and strode into the courtyard together. Seeing that the little flag was still kneeling on one knee, he snorted and said, "Get up." What about your family? And what about the people in the guardhouse? Why are you just a few of you busy? ”

The little flag first thanked Zhu Gang, then stood up, bowed and said: "Back to the adults, because of the water in the backyard of the county government last night, the adults of my family were worried about other problems, so they took the brothers in the institute to check. ”

Zhu Gang looked at Chongzhen again, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding, he continued: "That's it, you are busy with yours." Let's see for myself. ”

After speaking, he ignored the small flag and withdrew from the hundred households.

Just now Zhu Gang and the little banner of the conversation, Chongzhen also listened to a rough idea, and after Zhu Gang withdrew, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Let's go, let's go to the county government too." ”

When I arrived at the gate of the backyard of the county government in Chang'an County, I saw that the entire county government had already been surrounded by the captains of the Jinyi Guard and the rest of the army.

Zhu Gang once again showed the sign of the thousands of households in the capital, and no one was allowed to report it, so he took Emperor Chongzhen and others into the backyard of the county government.

At this time, in the backyard of the county government, there was not even a trace of embers, and the captains of the brocade guards dressed in flying fish suits were busy cleaning up the scene. After discovering Zhu Gang and the others, the hundred households led by him walked over first, and said to Zhu Gang curiously: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

Zhu Gang just lit up the waist card, and after the hundred households confirmed, he put it away again, and said directly: "Zhu has heard about the matter here." Did you find anything? ”

The hundred households did not hide it, and said happily: "The county order of Chang'an County did not die from walking in the water, but someone killed someone and set it on fire." Fortunately, there were knife wounds on the remaining bones, but they were not completely burned, otherwise it would be difficult to determine whether he died by homicide or by walking water. ”

didn't wait for Zhu Gang to say anything, but Emperor Chongzhen spoke first: "Check! Pry open the mouths of those bastards from last night and see who is behind them! ”

When Zhu Gang heard this, he just bowed down and gave his hands to it. Although the hundred households in Chang'an County are curious about Chongzhen's identity, they don't ask - the identity is much higher than the hundred households in the capital, but they are dressed as a rich son, and the identity of such people is not something that a hundred households can be curious about.

Chongzhen looked at the hundred households in Chang'an County and asked, "Is there a grain store in Chang'an County that is yours?" Is the grain sold to the people cheap, but the rich are expensive? ”

The hundred households arched their hands and replied, "If you return to Gongzi, the grain store is not a humble one. We are the Son of Heaven's pro-army, what do you want to do with this kind of livelihood?

The grain store was opened by the county magistrate of Chang'an County in the name of a humble position. In order to let the people of Chang'an County still have food to buy. ”

Chongzhen sighed, nodded but stopped talking.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this county order of Chang'an County is really a talent, and he made this kind of cheap grain store hundreds of years in advance - please forgive Emperor Chongzhen, a historical novice, he didn't know what Chang Ping was for, he just thought it was for opening a warehouse and putting grain.

Since it was not these hundred households, and the owner of this kind of cheap grain store was cut and burned by a knife again, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered: "This Chang'an County order family is well buried, don't bury it first, and wait for the arrangement." ”

The hundred households looked at Zhu Gang curiously, and Zhu Gang said: "Whatever the prince commands, you will do to ensure that you will not go wrong." ”

Now that there is Zhu Gang as a guarantor, the hundred households are relieved, but then they arch their hands and say: "There is just one more thing, but the eldest son of the Ling family in Chang'an County is missing, and his body has not been found in the fire." ”

Zhu Gang participated in the whole process of last night's pursuit and counter-killing, and immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this, just explain what the good son ordered." ”

Although the hundred households in Chang'an County are curious, they still give it away.

Seeing this, Chongzhen didn't say much, and got up and walked directly towards the outside of the county office.

casually found an inn to settle down, and Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji, Ma Weiqiu and others: "See it all clearly?" This is Da Ming! ”

Zhang Zhiji was better, but Ma Weiqiu couldn't sit still.

First, the people in Lantian County starved to death, and then the county order of Chang'an County was assassinated and then burned to extinction - but these two counties are under their own rule!

Seeing Ma Weiqiu standing up and pleading guilty, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "That's it." When I was in Lantian, I said that when the matter here is over, you will go to inspect the imperial history. ”

After Ma Weichuan thanked him again, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This time you don't have to be like Lantian, anyway, the bitter master is here, and the facts are very clear." One of the grain merchants in the city was counted as one, and all of them raided their homes and questioned their crimes. How does Ma Aiqing think she should be convicted? ”

Ma Weichuan thought for a while, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, these people raise the price of grain, their hearts can be punished, and they also buy murder officials, and they are complicit in rebellion. ”

Chongzhen looked at Ma Weichuan with a foolish look, and said with a smile: "For his own selfish interests, assassinating the imperial court officials is a move to destroy the door!" This is one of them.

During the catastrophe years, the price of food was raised for personal gain, forcing the people to death, and if the people rose up at that time, they were digging the foundation of my Ming Dynasty! This is the second one.

Ma Aiqing thinks that these people shouldn't wipe out the nine clans? Is it enough to connect the nine clans? ”

Ma Weiqiu stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Yijiu clan is too much. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little impatient, and asked Ma Weiqiu: "I ask you, repay grievances with virtue, but also?" ”

Ma Weichuan was speechless for a while, and he knew the sentences before and after repaying grievances with virtue, but even if he repaid grievances with grievances, he didn't need to use the nine clans, right?

The so-called Zhulian Nine Clans refers to the nine generations of immediate relatives from Gaozu to great-great-grandson, including collateral blood relatives, and subordinate brothers, their grandfathers, sons, grandchildren, brothers, and cohabitants, regardless of different surnames, and uncles and brothers' sons, all those who are 16 years old or older, regardless of the similarities and differences of nationality, regardless of illness or disability, will be beheaded. His female relatives were enslaved by the families of the meritorious heroes.

However, the Yi Nine Clan, regardless of age, from the newborn baby, to the ninety old man, not to mention the male and female dependents, are all killed in one piece, and there is no one left! This is the real eradication!

As for going up, it is to destroy the nine clans. In addition to the elimination of the relevant people of the nine clans, even the ancestral graves must be broken, the coffins must be opened, the corpses will be killed, and all the local county chronicles, ethnic chronicles, etc., will be completely erased from the world - since there is this saying of exterminating the nine clans, no one has used it until now, and it is the Yi nine clans, and it has not been used a few times at all.

(Raze and punishment are the same, and destruction is apocryphal.) Don't be surprised when you inspect the party. ）

Now that Emperor Chongzhen is magnificently trying to raze the nine clans, how will it be recorded in the history books in the future? It's him Ma Weiqiu, I'm afraid that the title of a minister is indispensable, right?

Chongzhen saw Ma Weiqiu's speech, and sneered: "If the babies of their nine clans are innocent, those under the age of sixteen will be spared, and the female relatives will be spared." Then Ma Aiqing came to tell me, among the victims who starved to death, what is the baby who has just set out for the expedition? Who is anyone under the age of sixteen? What are the innocent women who died tragically?

If I didn't allocate food to help Shaanxi, it would be my sin. No matter how much these people raise the price of food, they can still give the people a glimmer of hope to live, and I can't blame them.

But now? I allocated food, and they also got their hands on it, and they could do everything to kill officials!

Such lawless people, what else do they dare not do? ”

Ma Weiqiu had the heart to persuade again, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to say sarcastically: "The minister is ignorant." ”

Chongzhen sneered: "There is a way of heaven and reincarnation, who is spared by the sky, in my opinion, if this judgment comes one day later, it will cause my people to suffer for one more day, and I can't wait." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ma Weiqiu, and said directly: "Pingbei Hou Zhang Zhiji!" ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Chongzhen said: "Deploy troops and block the city gate, just like Lantian is the case, no one is allowed to escape." Except for the disaster victims and the food transported to enter the city, no one is allowed to enter or leave Chang'an County.

In addition, the county government was taken over and the people in the city were informed that Chang'an County would implement military control from now on. First, together with Jinyiwei, they forcibly requisitioned the grain of those grain merchants, counted the numbers, and released grain for disaster relief! ”

After Zhang Zhiji received the order, Chongzhen continued: "Zhu Gang! ”

Zhu Gang also bowed down and responded: "The minister is here!" ”

Chongzhen continued: "The Jinyi Guard of Xi'an Mansion is temporarily controlled by you, and the former Xi'an Mansion Thousand Households Thousand Households Ma Jun are invested in Nanzhen Fusi to ask for guilt!"

These grain merchants in Chang'an County, who raided their families, and the people of the nine tribes, regardless of men, women, and children, took them all and waited for my will! ”
