Facts have proved that human potential is infinite, and the key lies in whether there are enough conditions to stimulate it.

Whether it was to keep his hard-won official position, or to really serve the country, Ma Weiqiu, the governor of Xi'an Prefecture, didn't say that he would wait until the next day, and rushed to Lantian County that night.

In order to ensure speed, Ma Weiqiu, who is quite particular about his image on weekdays, did not even sit in a sedan chair, and rushed all the way from Xi'an Mansion to Lantian County.

It's just that after waiting for the county government office in Lantian County, looking at the expressionless face of Emperor Chongzhen, Ma Weiqiao felt that his calves and stomach were spinning, and he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Stalling today's matter, I am also enough to fuck me wronged. Speaking of the food used for disaster relief, he Ma Weichuan dared to swear by the eight generations of his ancestors that he really did not take a grain of food from it.

Although there are not too many people in his position, the expenses on weekdays are enough.

In addition, he is also on the gold list of the 20th year of Wanli Renchen Science Palace, and there is still a lot of room for rise in the future, so he will not be greedy if he takes the initiative to be greedy - especially when the current emperor is so murderous, then he has no courage to be greedy.

As for the filial piety to the top on weekdays, and the filial piety of some people below, can that be considered greed? It's just a human exchange. As long as the amount of silver is not too large, there will be no problem in thinking about it.

But as the old saying goes, when a person sits at home, disaster comes from heaven.

The grain that should be allocated to Lantian County is not a single grain, but what he never expected was that Shen Xiuting, the county commander of Lantian County, dared to be greedy like this and stabbed such a big basket.

You say you're greedy, at least don't starve to death, even if it's starving, you fucking handle the whole thing, okay? This damn let the emperor of the dynasty who paid a private visit to Weifu arrest him, and he also implicated Lao Tzu!

Ma Weiqiu, who secretly scolded Shen Xiuting in his heart, first paid a big salute to Emperor Chongzhen, and then stood there respectfully waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's fate.

Chongzhen glanced at Ma Weichuan expressionlessly, it was this person who was the first to report the drought in Shaanxi, and he originally thought about whether he could use it greatly, but he didn't think that he was a fool who couldn't even figure out whether the county officials under his rule were greedy or not, it seems that this person can be used, but it can't be used, it is estimated that it is not bad to be a royal historian or something, and this kind of thing on the ruling side is still forgotten.

Chongzhen, who had a plan in his heart, spoke: "Tomorrow, I will preside over the grain release first." Then you will accompany me for a walk to see this Xi'an Mansion. See what's going on under your rule. ”

Ma Weichuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The situation in Lantian County, in the news I know, is a special case for his mother, but I don't know why the emperor chose Lantian County - it was really fucking unlucky to go to grandma's house.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished his order, he ordered Ma Weiqiu to retreat and rest. As for Shen Xiuting and Wu Qi, the two unlucky bastards, they were simply thrown into the prison in Lantian County and detained, waiting for Tian Ergeng and Cao Huachun to come and deal with them.

On the second day, Emperor Chongzhen was still in small clothes, and took Ma Weiqiu to the soup kitchen site not far from the county government of Lantian County.

Looking at the crowd queuing up to receive porridge from a distance, Chongzhen asked, "What did Ma Aiqing see?" ”

Ma Weichuan didn't know the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's question, so he had to answer honestly: "Your Majesty, what the minister saw was the disaster victims' porridge." ”

Chongzhen nodded, and after a sigh, he said, "What I saw was not the porridge of the disaster victims. It's a force that is changing the world. ”

Seeing that although Ma Weichuan bowed down, he was still a little unimpressed in the magic, and Emperor Chongzhen, who intended to cultivate Ma Weiqiu towards the official direction of the imperial history and literature, continued: "Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty and the transmission to my Ming Dynasty, how many dynasties have changed?" Excluding the Jin and Song dynasties, how many of them were caused by popular uprisings? ”

Ma Weichuan heard this, but he gasped. If you don't think about it, it's just a change of dynasty.

But I really thought about it according to what the emperor said, and found that no matter which dynasty or generation, in the end, it was because of these seemingly inconspicuous people that the dynasty was really changed.

One Han was the Five Hus, and the Han Dynasty died alone, which was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that these people started first, and then the Three Kingdoms.

Meng Yuan, who beat the whole world, was also driven back to the grassland by Emperor Taizu Gao, who started from the end of Weimo.

And these victims in front of them are similar to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as well as those who couldn't eat and the people during the Mengyuan Dynasty? Who knows, will there be people here who will rebel when they can't survive?

As for the two noodle melons of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Ancient Song Dynasty, they are special cases at all, and they have no reference significance at all.

Seeing that Ma Weiqiu's expression had changed when he looked at the people, Emperor Chongzhen, who was satisfied in his heart, continued: "In my opinion, the people of my Ming Dynasty are the best people in the world. As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, they will not choose to rebel, but will honestly cultivate for a living.

However, why can't the princes of the court, as well as the officials up and down the Ming Dynasty, see through it? Do you have to force the people to rebel, and in the end you are only satisfied with being torn to pieces by these angry victims? Well?! ”

Ma Weiqiu was speechless for a while, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "Let's go, let's go and see what this Lantian County soup porridge looks like." ”

In fact, when Emperor Chongzhen and Ma Weichuan were talking, someone found Emperor Chongzhen and Ma Weichuan in official clothes under the soup shed in the distance, but they just saw the two chatting there, so no one came to disturb them.

Now the two of them walked over from a distance, among them Chongzhen took the lead, and Ma Weiqiu, who was dressed as a prefect, followed step by step, knowing that this young man with a little white face was the most noble person, so those officials who had escaped because they were out of porridge yesterday were respectfully waiting for the two to come over for questioning, and there was no scene of pretending to be forced to slap the face.

It's just that when Chongzhen got closer and saw the rice soup in the big pot under the porridge shed, the anger in his heart that had been suppressed came up again.

Looking at the officials in front of him who were bowing down and waiting for his orders, and the victims who were hiding farther away, but still looking at the cauldron, Chongzhen, whose face was as heavy as water, asked: "Every day, when you put porridge, it's like this?" ”

Because they have been putting porridge, although the officials who are not in the county government have escaped yesterday's catastrophe, they also know that the county government has been surrounded by some Qiu Ba, and it is said that there are a lot of screams from behind. The officials who were already nervous now heard the noble prince in front of them ask like this, and they were even more frightened and didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, a servant who looked like a team leader stood up, first made a gesture, and then bowed down and said: "If you go back to the prince, this porridge is sometimes thinner, sometimes thicker." If you catch up with the county lord and are in a good mood, this porridge will be thicker. As for weekdays, that's probably what it is now. ”

Chongzhen's anger endured again and again, but he finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his foot and kicked the table next to him, and shouted angrily: "The dog official bullying the knife is not good!" ”

There was a clang, and the table with some broken bowls on it finally did not stabilize and fell to the ground, and even some of the broken bowls on the table were broken to pieces.

The officials and victims who were close to them could hear it clearly, since the first emperor, who dared to use the word "I" on weekdays? Look at the prefect who seems to be angry like a little daughter-in-law behind the noble son in front of him, who doesn't know that this is the emperor's own arrival? All of a sudden, the officials who put the porridge under the porridge shed and the nearby victims fell to their knees.

It's just that the victims who are far away can only see this noble son kicking down the table where the porridge is placed, and he suddenly cheers up a little. Originally, although this porridge was a little thin, but it was also drinkable, if there was not even this little thing, what should I do with these people? Are you all waiting to starve to death?

Thinking of this, the eyes of these victims looking at Chongzhen were also more or less unkind.

Fang Zhenghua and Zhu Gang, who were guarding Chongzhen's side, were already observing the surrounding situation, and when they saw this, they hurriedly greeted: "Escort!" First, he sent a signal to summon the Beijing camp, and then beckoned the accompanying Neichang Fanzi and Jinyi Guards to surround Emperor Chongzhen.

It was only a moment's effort, and it was very close, but the soldiers of the Beijing camp, who were on alert, had already surrounded this small square-like place, and a team of soldiers from hundreds of households quickly ran to Chongzhen's side and surrounded the periphery of Jinyiwei, completely isolating Emperor Chongzhen from the victims.

As the soldiers of the Beijing camp continued to rush over, they kept shouting to escort the car, and some of the victims were far away, and at this time they also knew that the young man who kicked down the table was the current emperor who came here privately.

Although the victims who were waiting for the porridge did not understand why the emperor kicked the table down, the soldiers around them were not joking, so no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to force it down, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live.

The hearts of these victims were not clear, but Zhang Zhiji, who had come over with his soldiers to guard, just glanced at the cauldron of porridge, and his heart was like a mirror.

This damn thing is not so much about putting porridge as it is about putting water in it and mixing a few grains of rice in it. Such a bowl of porridge enters the stomach, but it is just a soak of urine, and people have to go hungry! What a Lantian County magistrate! It would be strange if the emperor was not furious in this case!

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a gloomy face, first picked up a relatively intact bowl from the ground, and then picked up a spoon and fished it in the pot for a long time before he had enough to catch a bowl of rice.

Then, after Emperor Chongzhen picked up a chopstick and inserted it into the bowl, he stared at the chopsticks with red eyes and said: "Spread my will, and order the Jinyi Wei Ti to scatter to supervise the release of grain." The porridge that is put out must be inserted with chopsticks, and the chopsticks fall to people's heads! No matter which state or county, if a chopstick falls and a common person starves to death, I want their head! The heads of the Nine Clans! ”

Since this passage was close to screaming, which of the nearby people and officials could not hear it clearly? All of a sudden, the people were the first to talk about it.

"What's the matter, let's just say, it's all these nonsense officials, how can the emperor ignore us?"

"Mingjun! Mingjun! ”

"It's good now, I finally don't have to go hungry anymore!"

"I said how did a golden light flash just now, it turned out that the Son of Heaven had arrived, no wonder, no wonder."

Listening to the discussion of the people nearby, Chongzhen yelled quietly, and then said loudly: "I, I'll give you an explanation today!" ”

After speaking, ignoring the whispers of the curious people, Chongzhen then instructed Zhu Gang: "Go and bring Shen Xiuting." Also, prepare the torture table, I will kill him alive here today! ”

Zhu Gang bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" Then he ordered someone to prepare the torture tools for the execution ground, and then ordered someone to go to the prison and bring Shen Xiuting to this small square.

Shen Xiuting, who had been waiting for death with peace of mind, saw that it was not a knife, but instead tied himself to a wooden shelf, and was horrified in his heart, but he didn't know where the spirit came from, and shouted: "Your Majesty is gracious!" Your Majesty is gracious! The sinner knows that he is wrong! Please be gracious, Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who had a gloomy face, ignored him, and didn't even give an order to remove his chin - you fucking call Lao Tzu, there is a kind of suicide by biting your tongue, and you can't die anyway!

No, not to mention, there are many talents in Jinyiwei, and they are very studious.

Since the last time Emperor Chongzhen besieged the capital in Jiannu, he ordered the people of Jinyiwei to kill Haoge alive, and since then, many people in Jinyiwei have gone to Dali Temple and the masters of the criminal department to ask how to Ling Chi this craft.

Zhu Gang saw that his subordinates had already tied up Shen Xiuting, so he bowed down and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the prisoner is ready." ”

Chongzhen said with a gloomy face: "Go find a few more dogs." ”

This time, it was delayed for nearly half an hour - can the hungry victims still let the dogs survive? Many of them were beaten to death and ate meat!

After Zhu Gang's Jinyi guards searched the entire Lantian County to find four or five hungry dogs with green eyes, Emperor Chongzhen stared at Shen Xiuting and said, "Kill this bastard alive, and even the bones will be broken for a while to feed the dogs!" ”

Hearing Chongzhen's order, Zhu Gang bowed down and said, "Please execute your duties in person." ”

After Chongzhen nodded in agreement, Zhu Gang smiled and said to Shen Xiuting: "Grandson, grandpa will personally serve you today!" ”

After speaking, he walked quickly onto the torture platform, and he didn't know where a single-edged knife came out of his body, so he grabbed Shen Xiuting's eyelids and cut it with a knife.

After cutting the two eyelids, Zhu Gang punched Shen Xiuting, who was screaming incessantly, in the stomach, and when Shen Xiuting snorted, he smiled and said: "Grandson, you have to open your eyes wide and see, how did the master slice your girl into a roast duck in the capital!" ”

Although the onlookers from a distance couldn't hear what Zhu Gang was saying, they could see clearly that this was an eyelid cut and a stomach beating, and the applause was endless for a while.

Zhu Gang, who has the potential to go crazy, even turned a little flushed at this time, and while he started to cut people, he gasped and said to Shen Xiuting: "Listen? Look, this craft is applauded by the people of the entire Lantian County! ”
