Overnight, Emperor Chongzhen was simply sad and white, but unfortunately, the sun still rose the next day. After thinking about it all night, Emperor Chongzhen still decided to rely on winning over the peasants first, and by the way, kill the disobedient ministers and the eight locust merchants, and give Daming a new life first.

When he went to the court the next day and came to the main hall, the voice of the ministers shouting long live fell, and Wang Chengen shouted at the side: "There is a morning play, but there is no retreat." Seeing that no one among the ministers was disgusted with himself, he said to Wang Chengen beside him: "Wang Chengen, declare the decree." ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and said, "Yes!" He glanced down at the ministers, and immediately opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: I will take Chong Ling and inherit the Hongye." Its ancestors are only meritorious, but only obeyed by the canon; It is difficult for officials to govern the people, and they will seek to be flexible. I was young. I don't know the wonder of the ancient sage kings ruling the world, however, I heard that the ancient sage kings ruled the world, the people did not endow them, and the sea was rich enough, although I was not sensitive, I also yearned for it. Its order, the world's official government and yamen have a division, from now on, there will be a Ming dynasty, and it will never be given! ”

As soon as Wang Chengen's voice fell, all the "righteous men and gentlemen" in the court were all stunned. For a while, no one came out to speak. Even, there were many ministers who were full of ideals and Mingjun thoughts, and they were immediately moved, and even their faces turned red.

Never give!

What a benevolent government!

Three Emperors and Five Emperors, who mentioned it, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who shouted it?

This is the real benevolent king!

I have to say that Kang Mazi's hand is still very capable of bluffing, including the later Jin Daxia and countless mites to clear the remnants, but they all think that this is Kang Mazi's benevolence.

However, this is simply a false proposition of. Because in China, taxes and levies. It's always separated. The tax is used for national defense spending, yamen expenditure, and various local affairs and channel excavation and repair, etc. And Fu. It was used to build a palace temple for the emperor to eat, drink and have fun. To put it bluntly, taxes go into the treasury, and endowments are the emperor's internal funds, and this thing does not go to the treasury.

Emperor Chongzhen's edict came down, in fact, it had almost no impact on the operation of the ministers and the local yamen! It's just that it will affect the enthusiasm of the officials when collecting taxes! This is also the confidence of later generations of mites to dare to shout that they will never be endowed. Otherwise, you want him to shout that he will never raise taxes, give it a try? Let's see if those Jin merchant landlords will rise up and tear up the millions of Eight Banner soldiers!

Okay now, regardless of whether it is the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, or any other messy Chu Party, Zhejiang Party and the like, we have to admit that Chongzhen's holy decree is an out-and-out benevolent government - anyway, what does it matter to us if the emperor's own money is less? The world is yours, and if you spend less, you can spend less. So the monarch and the ministers hurriedly shouted long live under the leadership of Shoufu Huang Liji: "Your Majesty is benevolent, Ze is born by the common people, please send an edict to announce the world, so that the world will know Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people!" ”

Chongzhen looked at the ministers below, and then said: "Wang Chengen, this edict should be issued to the world, and I ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to send someone to read it to the people, so that the people will know about it, so as to prevent any more small officials from harming the people." If someone is in it, the people can go to Beijing with a big edict to complain, and they will be guarded by the brocade guards and Dongchang, and there must be no mistake. ”

Emperor Chongzhen played such a hand, and finally could breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, with this edict as the foundation, those small yeoman farmers and small and medium-sized landlords would treat Emperor Chongzhen as his father! Wrong! It's a dad who is closer than his own father! As for the people at the bottom, I am afraid that they will be eager to set up a tablet for him and bow down day and night. And with the people's hearts in hand, even if the "righteous men and gentlemen" in the court rebel collectively, I believe that as long as he can get out of the palace and come to the street, the people will immediately be grateful to Dade and send him to the throne again.

This hand, Chongzhen still learned from the hooligans of the old Liu family in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty exempted all kinds of land taxes at every turn, and the old hooligan Liu Bang played this hand even more slippery, not only exempted from time to time, but also rewarded from time to time, telling everyone that it is beneficial to mix with labor and capital! In this way, people have their own basic plates. Now Chongzhen has also played such a hand, I am afraid that the people of the whole Ming Dynasty will become Chongzhen's basic plate, with such a strong backing, Chongzhen said that those who are against me are scum......

As for not having much money in his hands now, Chongzhen said that Emperor Daxing's brother Emperor Tianqi still has a bit of a family background, and soon, there will be a wave of raids, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to get a few million taels. As for what backstage they have, I have Jinyiwei and Dongchang in hand, so do I care about these scum? Whoever dares to jump out will let Jinyiwei and Dongchang check whom! Guaranteed to check one accurately! After checking and then raiding the house, won't this money come? Even if it's not enough, aren't there still eight locust merchants? These are a lot of money! If there are not enough Jin merchants, add Zhejiang, Hui, Fujian, Lu, and Beijing merchants, so it's always possible, right?

What is a wealthy merchant? Wealthy businessmen have no country, what do they dare not do for profit? So what are they? Isn't it just a pig raised by the state? The pigs were fattened and slaughtered and bloodletted, waiting for them to sell Daming to Tunguska with the eight locust merchants, those wild boar skins?

Chongzhen is very happy to do things, and when the ministers below hear it, they can't be happy - Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the two harmful things, you still don't want to remove them? Isn't it okay to keep it and do things and hurt people? Although he was dissatisfied, no one jumped out to say anything, after all, Wei Zhongxian has not fallen yet, and the court is full of old fritters, all waiting for someone to come forward, but you look at me, I look at you, no one is stupid, and no one jumped out to oppose it.

The ministers are not very comfortable in their hearts, it has only been a day since they ascended the throne, Your Majesty, why are you like a different person? It turns out that when he was in the palace, he trusted us and these righteous gentlemen, and hated Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs? How can you change as soon as you ascend the throne? Birds can't be as fast as you are ruthless! After all, before he ascended the throne yesterday, everything was fine, right?

Ignoring what the ministers below are thinking, Emperor Chongzhen's heart is so happy. For Emperor Chongzhen, one of the Jinyi guards is the eye, the other is the knife in the hand, which can not be easily abolished - the original Chongzhen in history let the righteous gentlemen of the Donglin Party abolish the Dongchang and Jinyiwei in a foolish way, and everyone knows the consequences, when the national disaster occurred, only one eunuch Wang Chengen was accompanied, and those who died in the battle for Chongzhen were some eunuchs, only a few scholars were martyred in the national disaster, and none of the other ministers entered the palace! Now it's okay, seeing that you have your own big basic plate, and then strengthen your eyes and sharpen the knife by the way, the rest is to get the army!
