Chapter 38: Chongzhen is angry
Emperor Chongzhen stared at Zhang Yushi, and his eyes could erupt with fire: "Zhang Aiqing, someone disobeys the holy decree, and the levy of Liao salary is actually a trivial matter in your eyes!" โ
Zhou Zhong saw that something was wrong and stood up: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Yushi means is that Zhao'an is a matter of great importance, related to the rise and fall of the country, not that Liao'an is a trivial matter!" โ
Zhang Yushi wiped his sweat: "Yes, what Lord Zhou said is very right. โ
"Zhou Aiqing, you are less and muddy." Emperor Chongzhen's anger did not subside, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Come on, take down Zhang Yushi, check him for me, and see if the additional Liao salary has his share!" โ
The two brocade guards immediately came over and grabbed Zhang Yushi.
Zhang Yushi immediately fell to the ground in fright, looked at Zhou Zhong and shouted: "Lord Zhou save me, Lord Zhou save me"
Zhou Zhong originally wanted to intercede for him, but this person was so stupid that he actually asked himself to save him in court.
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen's cannibalistic eyes, Zhou Zhong was shocked.
In order to get rid of the relationship, Zhou Zhong said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yushi doesn't know the general situation, he only knows small profits, and the minister suggests killing his head, copying his family, and not having his nationality to make an example!" โ
Emperor Chongzhen's face softened at this time: "Zhou Aiqing, do all Aiqing think so?" โ
Seeing this, the ministers knew that Zhang Yushi was dead, and they all echoed: "Zhang Yushi is a greedy villain, and he is really innocent!" โ
Zhao Yushi looked at Zhou Zhong and trembled, he couldn't imagine that this person was so ruthless. Not only did he not save it, but he fell into the well. He began to regret clinging to him a little, but it seemed a little late.
"This Luo Hui is also too evil, but he actually gave himself to participate in him, and besides, others are no longer in the middle, which is too terrifying!" Zhao Yushi looked at Zhang Yushi, who was dragged out, as if he was looking at his future self, and his heart was infinitely sad.
After watching this farce, Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that this matter be reported to the world, and those who are still collecting Liao salaries should be ordered to return their salaries as soon as possible!" โ
Chongzhen waved his hand: "You can do this matter, if there are still people who don't listen to the holy decree, they will levy more Liao salary, and I will punish him for the nine clans!" โ
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other. They knew that Emperor Chongzhen was really angry this time!
After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace and felt unprecedented loneliness.
It turned out that his courtiers were all of this kind of goods, and it turned out that the salary of one million taels brought such a heavy burden to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and even became a misery.
No wonder he is so hard-working, Daming is still getting worse, and the world is still in chaos.
For the first time, Emperor Chongzhen began to reflect and began to doubt. He really shouldn't have believed those ministers, and began to think about what his brother said to him, and even what Luo Hui said.
He was thinking so much that he didn't react when the queen came.
The queen looked at Chongzhen's appearance and thought that he was worried about his daughter's affairs.
"Your Majesty, that kid in Changping dared to do such a thing this time, and when he finds her, he will definitely punish her!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou and said, "Don't worry, Queen, Luo Aiqing happened to meet Changping, she will be fine!" โ
"Ahh The queen was shocked: "Why did this kid run out of Beijing, could it be that he went to find Luo Hui's kid!" โ
"Maybe!" Emperor Chongzhen really doesn't have the energy to take care of this daughter, if it was before, he would definitely be like thunder, a princess, actually left the capital and went to find a man, what kind of system!
But when he thought that man was Luo Hui, he was relieved, this person must be the savior chosen by Emperor Taizu, and he will definitely be able to save the Ming Dynasty!
Although he loves his daughter, her daughter is a little insignificant compared to her ancestors!
"This Changping is not ashamed to do such a thing!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked into the distance: "Let her go!" โ
Empress Zhou looked at Chongzhen, he was already about to lose his temper, and even words of consolation were ready. But she didn't expect the emperor to have this attitude, and she began to realize that the emperor really had some changes!
"Empress, I am not the emperor to do a good job", Emperor Chongzhen sighed.
Empress Zhou suddenly heard him say this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, the concubines have searched through the twenty-four histories, and they can't find an emperor like the emperor who is diligent and loves the people!" โ
"Queen, get up, I'll just talk about it!"
"The emperor is the king of a country, don't say such things again!"

Luo Hui took twenty military households and held more than 100,000 taels of silver. It took five days to arrive at Baoding Mansion, which was slower than a snail.
On the one hand, it's because of the money, and on the other hand, it's Princess Changping, and it's hard to be fast with her.
Luo Hui looked at Wan Bigan's anxious appearance, and only felt very funny. When it comes to Zhao'an, he is not panicked. Walking slowly also has the advantage of walking slowly, staying in one place every day, the more he knows about Daming.
When a dynasty develops to this point, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large. Seventy or eighty percent of the people who cultivated in the fields were tenants, and the land of the Ming Dynasty had been annexed to this point! Those big landlords, the powerful and the gentry are all rich, but they still want to oppress those poor and landless tenants!
For those big landlords and gentry, it was useless to strike at one, so he chose to stand still.
Baoding Mansion belongs to Beizhili and is the main road to the capital. Therefore, it is slightly more prosperous than other provinces, but this year there have been many wars and chaos, and it has lived up to the prosperity of the year.
Luo Hui's group came to the city gate and saw that there were many homeless people outside the gate, and they tried to enter the city in vain, but they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
A group of people entered the city gates, and they were stopped by two soldiers defending the city.
An officer who looked like a general flag came over: "Look at your extraordinary clothes, each of you pays a tael of silver for the toll!" โ
Zhou Yaowu was furious when he heard this, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Luo Hui.
"What kind of law does Daming have that stipulates that you have to pay a fee to enter the city?"
The general banner smiled: "There are no regulations in the Ming Law, it doesn't mean that our Baoding Mansion has no regulations, even the poor have to pay a hundred yuan to enter the city, let alone you." If you don't pay it today, you'll have to spend the night outside the city! โ
Zhou Yaowu couldn't hold back any longer: "Dog, dare to blackmail your grandfather!" โ
Zongqi's face froze, and no one dared to scold him in Baoding Mansion: "Say it again!" โ
Zhou Yaowu grabbed the man's clothes, snapped his palms, and fired the anger of the past two days: "Lao Tzu not only wants to scold you, but also beat you!" โ
At a glance, the general flag knew that he had gone through the back door, where could he withstand this slap, and he was beaten so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding and he was dizzy.
The gatekeeper saw that it was wrong, and hurriedly rushed out, holding spears and broadswords at several people.
"Brothers, hit me, hit me hard, kill me and I'm responsible!"
"Dare to speak" Zhou Yaowu punched him in the face, if he didn't control the strength, he could kill this guy on the spot.
Rao still knocked his face crooked and lost a few teeth.
