Chapter 304: There is a pole between heaven and earth

The Ming Dynasty has a big news, and Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been extremely tough and has never bowed his head, has issued an edict against himself!

Even if he slaughtered his brother-in-law when Jiannu besieged the city, even if he built more than ten Jingguan on the grassland, even if he killed his own uncle Fuwang Zhu Changxun, even if he killed the heads of a group of officials in Shaanxi after the great drought in Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen did not issue an edict against himself, and his toughness can be seen from this.

However, today, in order to kill whales and take meat to feed the people of the world, the extremely hardened Emperor Chongzhen actually issued an edict against himself, and he made it clear to the world?

"Killing whales for meat, although there is dry heaven and peace, but for the people of the world to fill their stomachs, it is really a last resort.

I am guilty, and there is no way to go! All parties are guilty, and the sin is bowing! I should fast for three days, meditate on my own mistakes, and if Heaven sees sin, I am the only one who has an ear! ”

Although I don't know what fasting for three days has to do with killing whales for meat, but with the edict of this crime in the world, the Ming Dynasty originally caused some unstable people's hearts because of Emperor Chongzhen's continuous killing, or some people's hearts, completely settled down.

It's not okay to settle down, and the power of a sin to reveal the world is too great.

At that time, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty tossed enough, and the expeditions again and again were not far from the people, not to mention the people who tossed the people.

But a luntai crime has been edicted, isn't it still a generation of Ming Jun? Who among the people of the Han Dynasty complained about Emperor Xiaowu?

Not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen made an edict so that the people of the world could eat enough and have meat to eat.

The combination of the previous edict of never giving money and the edict of killing whales and taking meat this time has produced a chemical reaction that no one in the Ming Dynasty could have imagined.

Some people who originally thought that it was a good thing for the emperor to issue an edict against himself, and some officials were actually very unhappy.

But if you are unhappy, you can only endure it.

Theoretically speaking, doesn't the emperor's edict mean that the emperor has made a mistake? If you didn't make a mistake, what kind of crime did you make?

But the reaction of the people was too unexpected.

There are no people to discuss and criticize Emperor Chongzhen, whether he made something wrong and issued his own edict.

The half-written edict is easy to understand, Emperor Chongzhen ordered people to hunt whales in order to let the people have a full stomach and have meat to eat, and if God is angry, he only needs to punish Emperor Chongzhen alone.

Therefore, among the common people, some people have spontaneously offered the immortal tablet to Emperor Chongzhen.

Like these, even the people who don't even offer to the three Qings, even the Jade Emperor and his own ancestors will only make an offering during the New Year's Festival, and now they have set up an immortal tablet for Emperor Chongzhen.

The thinking of the common people is actually very simple.

It doesn't matter if the emperor hoes the ground with a golden hoe every day, and it doesn't matter if the queen bakes scallion pancakes every day.

As for which minister the emperor killed, and how many beautiful women he got into the palace, in fact, these don't matter.

It is important that the emperor remembers whether his people have no food to eat, whether they have no meat to eat.

An emperor who can issue an edict in order to reduce the burden of the people will never be given, and an emperor who makes an edict to punish himself in order to let the people eat meat, then he must be a good emperor.

Who dares to create this kind of emperor's rebellion, isn't that just a problem with his own family's job?

The people of the Ming Dynasty said that this could not be tolerated, and whoever dared to rebel would be killed, and they must not get used to it.

The reaction of the people was a surprise for Emperor Chongzhen.

Although he planned to buy the hearts of the people from the beginning to make such an edict, he did not expect that the people would set up an immortal tablet for themselves.

What does it mean for the common people to set up the tablet of immortality?

To put it bluntly, it means that these people are expressing in their own way that they want this emperor to live forever and rule forever.

Is there a more sincere blessing than this?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen scratched his head and didn't come up with any kind of blessing, which is better than this.

At the very least, there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the people - except for some brain-dead officials, the people who are forced to die will not survive.

So Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Shaanxi again.

Although the chaos in Shaanxi is almost over, in the memory of Emperor Chongzhen, this drought is more than a year.

And now the courier Brother Li has evaporated from the fucking world again!

This year, it's settled first. But what if you find that you are still a bird when you get to the autumn harvest?

In case the people of Shaanxi rebel again, will they really point to Hong Chengchou to kill and kill them, and rely on artificial reduction to solve the problem?

That Emperor Chongzhen felt that he had crossed over and had a fart meaning! Reducing Ding is also subtracting foreigners, and reducing Daming's Ding is considered a Mao's ability?

Once Emperor Chongzhen has any messy ideas, the officials in the Ming Dynasty have to toss with him, which is about to become a routine.

And after often tossing, even the officials of the Ming Dynasty have become accustomed to it.

Moreover, since the beginning of the drought in Shaanxi in the first year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen has ordered the Ministry of Engineering to sort out the rivers and bridges that need to be dredged in the mountains and Shaanxi to prepare for repairs.

Although the civil unrest in Shaanxi has not been settled before, it has been delayed until now, but now the chaos in Shaanxi has basically completely subsided, and it is impossible to say that it will be delayed any longer.

And Emperor Chongzhen's idea is also very simple, this is not the time to take your time and pay attention to political compromise.

Now is the time to make bold moves, to work hard and quicklyβ€”not to do things when the people's hearts are turned against you, and to wait for those bastard officials to force the people to turn against you?

Wouldn't you have to hang it on a tree in that case?

So at the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Chongzhen chose to start tossing again.

Looking at the civil and military officials under His Majesty's steps, Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers and said, "I ordered the Ministry of Engineering to sort out the river and bridge data in the land of Shanxi, how is it now?" ”

Xue Fengxiang bowed out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the data on the rivers of Shanxi and Shaanxi have been sorted out, and the data of the rest of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty are still being sorted out, and it still needs to be completed in three months." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, but didn't say anything.

Now to sort out the information, you can only check it little by little, unlike in later generations, whether it is a telegram or a sister in the capital, it can be done in minutes.

No matter how bad it is, there are still satellite cloud images that can be slowly translated.

It's not a big deal. Daming has no satellite, no phone, e-mail or anything, and can only rely on the people of the Ministry of Industry to check and verify a little bit of cloud, and it can't be fast if you want to.

If the data of the entire Daming River Bridge can be sorted out after March, this speed is already fast.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The victims of Shaanxi have been set to Tai and a half, although spring plowing has begun now, but as I said before, prevention is better than prevention, and the rivers and bridges in the Ming provinces need to be dredged, especially the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. ”

As soon as Wen Tiren heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, he secretly said in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen's master is different from other emperors, this one likes to pat his brain, what he wants to do is one out, and he will do it without delay.

If you want to build a bridge over the river all day, that's a good thing.

But the result of this master's slap on the head is likely to be to work together and trim together all day.

In particular, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are mentioned.

Which of these two is easy to get? For thousands of years, no one has said that these two rivers have been completely figured out.

And the last emperor who liked to toss the whole country was called Yang Guang.

If Yang Guang's master didn't come to a big project or something at every turn, and repeatedly conquered Goryeo, it would be really hard to say whether there was a Tang Dynasty or something in the future.

Now this master also likes to toss like Emperor Yang Guangyang, so what if he tosses a mess when the time comes?

It's just that what Wen Tiren was worried about didn't happen.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I intend to order all counties in the world to organize the people to dredge the rivers and repair bridges and roads during the agricultural slack time, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”

Wen Tiren pondered for a while and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if you organize the people to take care of the river during the agricultural slack, it is nothing, but it should not be too much to levy and issue conscription, otherwise Your Majesty's love for the people will become a disturbance to the people, and it will not be beautiful." ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why did I say that I would levy a conscripted servant?"

The duty of the people is to grow good land, just as my duty is to be a good emperor, and the duty of the secretary is to assist me.

It is no longer the duty of the people to dredge the rivers and bridges, so I have to pay for it.

The household department also has to sort out a piece of information, the prices and wages of various places, and I will send Jinyi Wei to retrieve their relevant files to assist the household department.

People everywhere can participate, and those who participate will be paid, and those who do not participate will not be paid.

Let's start with Shaanxi and Shanxi, and the rest of the provinces will organize first, so let's take our time. ”

Wen Tiren thought about it, this is okay.

Anyway, as long as the people are given money, and the people can choose whether to do it or not, then there will be no disturbance to the people.

As for whether there are people who are unwilling to work in the cloud, or who just take money and don't work, there is no need to worry about this.

Those who don't want to do it if they have money are pure fools and lazy people, so they don't have to worry about it.

As for those who want to just take money and don't work, Da Ming Law is not a decoration, is it?

Wen Tiren was about to praise His Majesty's wisdom, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen speak again: "Also, those more dangerous tasks, such as those that need to open mountains, don't organize the people of the Ming Dynasty to do it."

Now Mao Wenlong is doing a good job on the Dongjiang River, and he has arrested a lot of Jiannu, let them do it, and they don't have to feel distressed if they die anyway. ”

……

Wen Tiren and the other courtiers were already full of black lines at this time.

Although the whole court knows that your old man doesn't treat foreigners as human beings, is it really good for you to say it so directly?

You know, there are historians in the court, even in the harem, there are people who make records.

When the time comes, your old man will be in a big business, and the future generations will look at the living note, okay, there are such things in the Ming Dynasty? Are you all guys who don't treat foreigners as human beings?

Your old man is shameless, and we scholars still want it!

Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is cautious, the black and white words on the history books, will it not hinder Your Majesty's reputation after thousands of years?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "First there were five chaotic China, and then there was the southern invasion of the pseudo-Yuan, how many sages were ruined in one fell swoop, and how many people suffered disasters?" Who treats Han people as human beings? Have you forgotten the help of the two-legged sheep?

I haven't forgotten!

Feng Shui takes turns, and now it is the turn of the Ming Dynasty to call them as two-legged oxen, which is originally the cycle of heaven and the meaning of retribution.

How to write the history books, I can't see it, so I don't care about him. As for the scholars, if anyone sympathizes with these people, they will be treated the same as them.

There are also civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who have put your ass in the right position! The people of the Ming Dynasty are the ones who pay taxes to support you, not the barbarians. ”

Very good, this is very Chongzhen Emperor. Emperor Chongzhen, who dared to scold Huang Taiji violently at the head of the city, now said the word butt, and none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty were surprised.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I think that there is a pole between heaven and earth, but only the people of the world can deserve it.

I'm good and bad, I'm bright and dark, the people will naturally give me justice, as for how to write the history books, let him go. ”

Wen Tiren and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were deeply impressed by the shameless and fearless spirit of Emperor Chongzhen - no emperor had ever said such shameless words so nakedly, and no emperor cared so much about his reputation.

Even Li Shimin, the heavenly khan known as the first emperor of the ages, wants to know whether he is good or bad in the history books.

For this reason, Li Er specially found Yan Shigu, who recorded the daily life notes, and said: "I don't add a word or subtract a word, I don't want to deny, I just want to look at my words and deeds in the past, know my own body, and punish the past and the future so that there will be no more omissions in government affairs." ”

But it doesn't do anything.

Even if Li Er tied up Yan Shigu and scared him with a knife, he couldn't see it.

Even an emperor like Li Er, who kills his brother and has fun, cares about his reputation, but this master on the dragon chair doesn't care at all.

Emperor Chongzhen's next words made Wen Tiren and other courtiers stunned: "The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army gave Mao Wenlong an order to catch more barbarians in the land of Liaodong.

There is also Zheng Zhilong of the Fujian Water Division, and there is an order to go over. But anyone who does not have my Ming household registration will be dealt with as a person without a household, especially the Japanese slaves, who are the best.

Tell them to catch a reward of five taels of silver, and though I have it, I will give them silver.

But let them be careful, if they dare to take the credit of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I want their heads. Dressed in brocade clothes, the guard secretly supervised. ”

Sure enough, this is the familiar emperor, the self-cultivation emperor who is just a hundred days after the eldest princess of Ningde is just an illusion, only the one in front of him is real!
