There is another thing, Wen Tiren is also very clear, Chongzhen, the emperor, does not bear the burden at a critical moment, if this policy is passed with his own efforts, it can only make the Sacred Heart happy for a while.

In the process of implementing the policy, if he encounters great resistance, such as another incident like the tombstone of five people, he Wen Tiren will definitely be the first to lose his head.

Everything is very clear, what is the purpose of being an official, just enjoying power, being loyal to the emperor, and forget it.

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor and all the officials, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The ministers are stupid, and they only hope that the emperor will make a holy decision in everything!" ”

After speaking, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground and did not react.

Chongzhen's face was immediately clouded, his eyes were full of lightning and thunder, and he stared at Wen Tiren viciously, but Wen Tiren did not move.

When the officials saw that the head of the cabinet slipped their shoulders, they knew that most of the matter was going to be yellow, so the officials opposed it even more fiercely.

"Your Majesty, although the temple lord and the Xi temple lord used to collect business taxes, but they were all boiling with public resentment, the world was turbulent, and they were finally abolished because they were unpopular, and it was definitely not a gentleman's duty to compete with the people! If Your Majesty is determined to do so, you will leave a name of infamy in the history books, and for Your Majesty's sake, the minister implores Your Majesty to think twice. ”

"Compete with the people for profit, the holy virtue is damaged, and the infamy will be lost for thousands of years, and the ministers implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

"Think twice, think twice, can you think about the money? Then you say, the country is so difficult, where will you get the money? ”

Chongzhen almost shouted this sentence.

The emperor was angry, and the ministers had their own countermeasures, knelt on the ground together, and said in unison: "The ministers can't share the emperor's worries and solve the country's difficulties, and the ministers deserve death!" ”

"I don't want you to die, I want you to get me money."

Chongzhen leaned down, like an eagle that was ready to attack and kill its prey, looking down at every official.

At this time, the officials knelt motionless like old monks, even if Chongzhen's anger could tear down the roof of Fengtianmen, they still would not have any reaction.

"Don't pretend anymore, get up, say an idea, an idea to get money."

Chongzhen's tone changed, and he became very depressed and helpless.

The emperor admitted defeat, and the ministers rejoiced in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, the only way to do this is to suffer the people again."

"Your Majesty, the dynasty governs the country with filial piety, the emperor is the father of the people of the world, the father has difficulties, the suffering of his children is his own suffering, and it is necessary to solve the worries of the monarch's father, and the minister thinks that the only way to suffer the people is to suffer again."

"Your Majesty, the ministers think this is a correct theory, and please ask the emperor to accept it."

The court suddenly knelt down again.

Chongzhen looked at the official in front of him, and then turned to look at Cao Huachun beside him, the meaning in his eyes, Cao Huachun knew at a glance: "The courtiers are hateful!" ”

As soon as the two looked at each other, Chongzhen looked at these 'righteous gentlemen' again, and said helplessly: "As you wish, let the people suffer again, and order the general soldiers in all parts of the country to train the new army, each general soldier, train three thousand elite soldiers, the new army can be selected from the old army, or from the people, and the money and food will come from the 'training salary' that has been levied." ”

"The emperor sees thousands of miles, and the ministers obey him, long live my emperor, long live long live."

At this time, the words of the ministers contained real feelings.

Chongzhen reciprocated with a bitter smile of exhaustion.

At this time, for some reason, the following scene recurred uncontrollably in his mind:

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, on the sickbed, his imperial brother said: "Wei Zhongxian is a usable talent, he is cautious and loyal, and he can calculate big things." ”

"If Wei Zhongxian is still here, do these people dare to do this? Today I know the meaning of the words of the first emperor, alas! I actually agreed to give the first emperor a temple name of 'Xizong', and the first emperor actually deserves the word 'philosophy'. ”

"The minister plays the emperor."

"What?"

"Fan Shangxie was ambushed, Lu Xiangsheng sacrificed his life for the country, the governor of Henan is vacant, and the Guanning army enters Henan to suppress thieves, and it is always necessary for civil officials to take charge, dare to ask the emperor, should a governor be selected to go to Henan?" Li Changgeng, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly said that the governor of Henan was still vacant, so he asked about it.

"Who do you think can do this?"

"Xuan Mo is upright and virtuous, loyal, quite talented, and worthy of great responsibility."

"Stupid Wen Ge Lao, what do you think?" Chongzhen asked Wen Tiren.

"The minister is stupid, and everything looks forward to the emperor's holy judgment." Wen Tiren simply said it again.

"Hey, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are a vegetarian meal?" Chongzhen was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the duty of the minister is to assist the Son of Heaven, Xie and Yin and Yang, and adapt to the changes of the four seasons; Regulate all things downwards so that they can grow at the right time; Externally pacify the four yi, coordinate the relationship between the courtiers, the palace and the emperor, select the appropriate talents for the emperor, so that the hundred officials can fulfill their duties, and the emperor can rule by hanging the arch! Wen Tiren unhurriedly pushed his responsibility again.

"Elder Wen Ge really said it well. That's it, thanks to your Hongfu, none of the things I want to do can be done, and it's very good. You say that Xuan Mo is a talented person, then let him go to Henan to be the governor, and control the soldiers of Sichuan, Huguang, Shandong, Shanxi and Shaanxi non-nine borders, and then be a strategy of the five provinces, and be sure to exterminate the Li thief. ”

Chongzhen sneered and looked at the ministers, and said these words from between his teeth.

"The emperor is like a stream, although Yao Shunyu soup is just like this, and the ministers obey it."

No matter how Chongzhen ridiculed, the courtiers just turned a blind ear, and the chants poured in.

Chongzhen didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore, and walked away.

"Ministers send off the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

There was a deep joy in the voices of the ministers.

********************************************************************

"Your Majesty was forced by the civil officials, and the people are going to suffer again, 'Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty', haha, Your Majesty was fooled by these beast-faced Sven scum, and when Li Zicheng entered the Beijing Division, he will definitely kill these bastards."

In Yan'an City, Liu Renyu, the chief soldier of Yansui, was talking to several of his subordinates at his father-in-law's house.

Zhang Tieniu: "Isn't it, Dashuai, these people are the real troublemakers, but now you are a chaotic minister and thief in the eyes of Your Majesty." ”

Li Jiye: "Dashuai, I don't know what kind of bargaining chips the imperial court has made to buy us against you this time?" ”

Yang Desheng: "The prince Wandai, the captain of the horses, nothing more." ”

Liu Renjie: "Your Majesty wants us to deal with the Jiannu, Tumut, Ordos and Khalkha coalition forces alone, and don't want other military towns to help us, hehe, I can't ask for it, I'm worried that they will not only drag our feet, but also waste our own food?" ”

Wang Zuohang: "Dashuai, do you think we will simply destroy Jiannu this time?" ”

Sun Wuxi: "Marshal, this time the imperial court sent Guan Ningjun, I'm afraid that Li Zicheng's side will not be able to deal with it, don't you want to think of a way?" ”

Chen Danqing: ".........."

The generals of the Jingbian Army, with a word from you and a word from me, are actually discussing the matter of the Zuoshunmen court discussion two days ago.

At this time, Liu Renyu smiled and said to the two lieutenants sitting on the right hand side of the flower hall: "Gonggong Liu, Gonggong Shi, you two were originally sent by His Majesty to monitor me, but I didn't think about it, but they became my liaison in the palace. ”

"Liu Dashuai, the little slave saw that you were not ordinary back then, and now you can do things under your hands, the little slave is a blessing from the previous life!"

Liu Chaoqing and Liu Renyu are acquaintances, and they always have to show a little incense when they talk.

That Gonggong Shi and Liu Renyu have no friendship to express, so they just smiled and should be reconciled.

Liu Renyu: "Gonggong Liu, Your Majesty is a Shengming in the end, in order to stabilize me, I will not withdraw your errand, let you continue to monitor me, Gonggong Shi, in the future, I will ask you to report our bad things to Your Majesty." ”

"Ouch!" Shi Gonggong smiled charmingly, with the delicate and delicate nature of a castrated man in the corner of his mouth, he got up, threw the embroidered handkerchief in his hand forward, pinched his orchid finger and giggled: "Dashuai, look at what you say, whatever you say the little slave will do, listen to you." ”

A gust of fragrant wind came, and Liu Renyu suddenly felt a chill, and even goosebumps rose.

Liu Renyu: "There is a father-in-law, you two fathers-in-law can rest assured, do things for the town, there will be no shortage of gold and silver, treasures can be picked at will, the bright future can be seen, and relatives and friends are stained." ”

Liu Chaoqing: "Of course the little slave believes in Dashuai, but he doesn't know the antidote to the Soul Devouring Pill?" ”

Liu Renyu: "The two fathers-in-law are relieved, the Soul Devouring Pill will never attack until the time, the two of them will treat it as if there is nothing, and when the time comes, there will only be an antidote." ”

"Hey, hey!"

The two fathers-in-law could only smile unwillingly and vaguely responded.

Liu Renyu: "Speaking of which, we have conquered Mongolia several times, defeated the nobles of the Chahar tribe, defeated the nobles of the Ordos tribe and the Khalkha tribe, and occupied all the lands of the three tribes, and now there are constantly people from the east to vote, and our steppe army is getting stronger and stronger."

The Mongols are born warriors, and with the best equipment and their skill in arching and horseback, the Mongols may be able to reproduce in my hands. ”

"Dashuai, please interject a little, there are no Mongolians now, they are all Han people from Mongolian Province."

Sun Wuxian interjected at the right time.
