Among the hundreds of officials, who can beat Emperor Chongzhen?

The answer is no. Once the emperor is shamelessly willful, the hundred officials have no way to do anything except honestly listen to orders. It's like the Southern Han Dynasty at the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Liu Gang, the last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, believed that as long as officials had families, they would not devote themselves to the country.

Therefore, he set up a rule that no one has ever done before: if ministers want to continue to be officials, and if scholars want to become officials, the first thing they have to do is castrate, even if you are a monk, as long as you want to be an official, you have to be cut first.

With such nonsense, the doctors have to make a face, right? A normal man has taken the root of his life below, so is he still called a man? Can the scholars endure it?

However, the reality is that the scholars of the whole country have castrated themselves in order to be promoted and rich, glorify their ancestors. Since then, the Southern Han Kingdom has become a country of eunuchs, and the entire country, from the prime minister to the county order, has become a eunuch. The most pitiful thing is that the women of this small Lingnan country, seeing that their husbands have become eunuchs, they can't stop them, and they all become resentful women.

See, this is the face of the scholars, not to mention any hair, even the root of life can be cut, do you still care about hair? It is precisely because Chongzhen knows what kind of urine these scholars and doctors are, so he doesn't care about holding a knife in one hand and a carrot in the other hand to scare them: either obediently have carrots to eat, or die.

Now it is the same situation, in the face of Emperor Chongzhen's willfulness, not to mention Meng Shaoyu, even Wen Tiren and other cabinet ministers also agreed helplessly - play the car first, send the fallen soldiers into the Martyrs' Shrine, as for the sacrifice of prisoners or something, save it.

After some tossing, the direction of the matter finally came according to Emperor Chongzhen's idea - first sent the ashes of the fallen soldiers to the Martyrs' Shrine, and then ordered the soldiers to return to the camp, and Emperor Chongzhen himself returned to the palace - As for sacrificing to the sky or something, Emperor Chongzhen said that he didn't care, and it would be good to brag about it for a while to get an edict to the world.

It's just that when this set of processes is finished, even if it is a simplified process, the time is already in the evening. And Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the palace, was not in the mood to go to the harem to "relax and relax", so he first ordered Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, plus Cui Chengxiu, as well as Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun.

If you let the "righteous gentlemen" come to see these people in front of Emperor Chongzhen, it is estimated that they will beat their chests and shout that the people's hearts are not ancient, and traitors are everywhere - not to mention how bad the reputation of the factory guard is, Shi Fenglai and Cui Chengxiu have long been well-known to the world as first-class eunuchs, and the remaining Wen Tiren is still an unprincipled villain!

Chongzhen still habitually knocked on the table in front of him and asked Cui Chengxiu, "How is it in Liaodong?" ”

Cui Chengxiu bowed down and said after sorting out the recent situation in Liaodong in his heart: "Your Majesty, the most recent situation in Liaodong is the battle report sent half a month ago, Mao Wenlong's side has been resisting steadily along the mountains of the Dongjiang River, and although the North Korean side has been waving their flags and shouting, they really can't count on it." ”

Chongzhen hummed and said: "North Korea, that is, it is still a little useful to wave the flag, and it is okay to fight with the wind, and the rest cannot be counted on them." ”

The combat effectiveness of North Korea, Emperor Chongzhen did not count on it at all. The later Mingliang naval battle was simply.

The situation at that time was that Korea was pressed to the ground by Japan, and the Ming army in turn pressed Japan to the ground and rubbed.

Originally, he didn't expect North Korea to help anything, so Chongzhen simply asked, "What about Mao Wenlong?" What about the battle damage? Can it hold on? ”

Cui Chengxiu pondered for a while and replied: "According to the battle report sent by Mao Wenlong half a month ago, they got a lot of thunder in their palms together, buried them in the ground of the road that Jiannu must pass through, and then used a bamboo pipe to make the lead long, and then ignited the lead when Jiannu was halfway through his childhood, which also injured many Jiannu. ”

"In addition, there are many mountains on the other side of the Dongjiang River, and the marching speed of Jiannu cannot be fast for a while. So it is estimated that it can last for a month to two months. ”

"As for the battle damage, since there was no large-scale battle with Jiannu half a month ago, the battle damage was not large, and it is not clear now."

After listening to Xu Xianchun's general battle report, Chongzhen hummed, and then asked Xu Xianchun: "Where is Jinyiwei?" ”

Xu Xianchun also pondered for a while and bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the secret report from Jinyiwei's side is not much faster than that from Master Cui of the Ministry of War." According to the secret report sent back by the spies five days ago, Jiannu had just arrived at the dangerous mountain fort five days ago to repair. ”

"Hu Guogong's side has already gathered the original Yehe Nine Divisions, intending to attack the Horqin Division, and the intention is unknown. I don't know if I want to simply force Jiannu back to defend in order to reduce the pressure on General Mao, or if I want to unify the Mongolian tribes in Liaodong? ”

Chongzhen then hummed and said lightly: "No matter what he thinks, as long as he fights Horqin, he can reduce the pressure on Mao Wenlong, or he can really approach Jiannu to return to defense." It seems that I am not in such a hurry to conquer Liaodong in person. ”

When Wen Tiren heard that Chongzhen was still thinking about going to Liaodong, he objected with great pain: "Your Majesty, Lin Dan Khan's knock on the customs last time has already cost a lot, plus the families of the soldiers who died in the war are still waiting for the imperial court to pay compensation, and the recruited people also have to pay wages, which together add up to a large amount of expenses." Your Majesty will personally conquer Liaodong again, but I am afraid that the treasury will really not be able to support it. ”

Emperor Chongzhen is also extremely painful, and he copied the money made by the eight locusts merchants before? You can't just fly, can you?

Thinking of this, Chongzhen asked, "What about the silver?" I raided the eight profiteers who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but I copied a lot of silver. ”

Wen Tiren smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, although the silver is good, it can't be regenerated into silver." There was a great drought in Shaanxi, and if you want to buy grain for relief, this is a large amount of expenditure, tens of millions of taels of silver are thrown over, and what you get back is only a boatload of grain. ”

"On the other side of the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong said that the palm thunder was easy to use, and asked to get some more, the more the better, and to transform it into the kind that can be buried in the ground. That's another amount of money. Although the money from Lord Xu Guangqi and Lord Xu is His Majesty's internal money, and the War Bureau is also the internal money, but the purchase of all materials in the Ordnance Bureau is also the treasury. ”

"After this back and forth, there is not much money in the treasury, unless Your Majesty allocates some more silver from the treasury."

Don't even think about it! The money in my inner money is the carpenter's old foundation, and you still want to make such an idea? I knew that I wouldn't give much money to the treasury after stealing the money from the eight locust merchants, so I would have stayed in the treasury!

Emperor Chongzhen is also worried, the money is gone, where to get it? It costs money everywhere, and the problem is that this silver can't give birth to fucking silver, and the fucking banking system hasn't figured out a clue until now, and it's been more than half a year since the fucking back, and one is more than one chain!

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen before the crossing was a program ape who was a student of liberal arts, and the leap of thinking was not ordinary, and he suddenly asked: "King Rui, King Hui, and King Zhou have ever entered Beijing to take office?" ”

Wen Tiren, who thought he knew a little about Emperor Chongzhen, heard this, and guessed what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do - this is eyeing King Fu's family property, thinking about how to kill pigs.

But can we have some face? Who doesn't know that back then, your Uncle Fu Wang loved pets, and your father was not welcomed? You just slaughtered your Uncle Fu Wang fat sheep, what do people in the world think? Heavenly coaxing? Don't talk about family affection? I don't know what Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty said when he forced Queen Huainan Li to death? "One foot of cloth can still be sewn; A bucket of millet is still acceptable. The two brothers are incompatible. "Haven't you heard this ballad Emperor Chongzhen?

If it was Emperor Chongzhen before being crossed, this allusion must have been known, but what kind of bullshit ballad did Emperor Chongzhen say by the traverser, I haven't heard it - I haven't heard it! Even if you have the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen, you haven't heard of it! Bullshit Uncle Fu Wang, it's about my shit!

However, Wen Tiren didn't know what Chongzhen was thinking at this time. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face had not changed, as if his face was paralyzed, he had no choice but to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Rui, His Royal Highness King Hui and His Royal Highness King Zhou have entered Beijing, and they are now cleaning up the Zongren Mansion." ”

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen, who never knew what the bottom line was, did not disappoint Wen Tiren this time: "Since they have all arrived, then King Xuanrui, King Hui, and King Zhou will enter the palace and discuss how to deal with King Fu's harm to the people?" ”
