Chapter 50 The gallery plays the piano by candlelight at night, and the paper boat floats in the Shitai River

Killed a group of wealthy ministers, recovered the fiefdom of the vassal king and the real estate in the name of the Donglin tycoon representing the Jiangnan Shi clan, but this can only temporarily alleviate the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty, which has been in deficit every year in recent years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNow that you have money, you have to pay back your salary, replace your firearms, build a new sailor, build an official road, and all of this is not more than money.

The fire burns money, the water division has a bottomless pit, and it also has to face the natural disasters that did not hit chaos during the Xiaoice River period, large-scale peasant uprisings in Shaanxi and other places, and the money from the family this time. Invest in all aspects, so many projects are launched at the same time, and this money is not enough to toss for a few years.

Now the Jurchens have been pitted by themselves, the domestic rebel peasant army has not yet become a big climate, and the external threat of the Ming Dynasty has been temporarily suppressed by themselves in a short period of time.

The sky after the rain is blue, the ministers kneel on the ground, the vassal king kowtows, the Temple of Heaven is stacked with this dripping blood head, a gust of wind blows away the clouds, the golden light of the sun is projected onto Chongzhen, the ministers below look up only to see Chongzhen behind him rise thousands of feet of brilliance, like a god, ironically, Chongzhen is wearing a long knife in his hand, stepping on blood, kneeling behind a dead body with a lost head, this scene is like a god and a demon figure is deeply reflected in the hearts of the hundred officials present, Become a nightmare that lingers in this life.

"Companion, let the people of Hanlin prepare an imperial list, and tell the world what this group of beheaded ministers did, remember to attach the seized property to the world, "Kill so many people, even if you are the emperor, you have to give an explanation to the people of the world, of course, if you don't care about the reputation of tyrants and the like, then it doesn't matter, but if you copy so many family properties, when someone says that the killed person is innocent and unjustly killed, jump out and stir up the wind and rain, after the emperor list is released to the whole world, I want to see who dares to speak for this group of dead people, Who would dare to use this incident to provoke trouble.

After Chongzhen's killing, the ceremony continued, and after a series of messy ceremonies, the whole ceremony finally ended, Chongzhen believed that with the heads of so many high-ranking officials as sacrifices, if there were really spirits in this world, they would definitely be very satisfied with their sacrifices.

In the palace at night, Chongzhen sent away the attendants around him, and sat alone on a corridor in the palace back garden, quietly looking at the bright sky. Today, I ordered to kill so many people, although they are all some damned people, but my mood is uncontrollably low, originally a little free, Chongzhen will go to review the fold, but today I don't have that mind, take the fold, and if I don't pay attention, I will be in a daze.

Since there is no criticism of the thoughts, simply get up in the inner courtyard of the palace, walk around, scatter, near a corridor in the back garden of the palace, there is a small stream flowing by, after seeing this small stream, Chongzhen sat on this corridor, looking at the stream in front of him and was stunned, this stay is a few hours, I don't know why Chongzhen just doesn't want to leave here, and I can't figure out what attracts me here.

In this quiet night, there was a sound of the piano, because Chongzhen sat here, when the sky was not dark, there were already palace maids lit candles on this corridor, and above the creek slowly floated a small paper boat with lights, Chongzhen walked along the stream, as the distance approached, the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, although he did not understand the piano, but Chongzhen felt lonely and lonely from the sound of the piano.

The piano player's piano skills are very superb, even if he is a person who does not understand the rhythm of music, after hearing the sound of the piano, you can feel the mood of the piano player, this deep palace, except for the palace maid and concubine, there will be no one else, "I don't know what makes your piano sound full of loneliness and desolation" Chongzhen muttered to himself and walked in the direction where the sound of the piano came.

In the distance, a woman in palace costume sits in the gallery, plucking the strings of the piano, and the drifters under the stone platform by the stream are singing small paper boats with lights on one by one.

Chongzhen's footsteps attracted the attention of the woman in palace clothes who played the piano, and the woman looked up and saw herself standing by the stream, the sky was moonless, and neither of them could see each other's faces clearly by the candle flame. It's just that I don't know why the two of them were silent at the same time.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, Chongzhen turned his head to look, it turned out that his queen had found it, "The emperor is cold at night" said that the queen stepped forward to help herself put on a cloak, "The emperor is tired today, let the concubines go back to rest with the emperor" The queen took Chongzhen's hand and walked in the direction of her bedroom.

When Chongzhen looked back, there was no figure of the woman in the palace costume, but the woman's palace dress was a red large-sleeved shirt, with a xia veil on the clothes, a red Luo long skirt, a red jacket, and a dragon and phoenix ornament on the first dress, and the clothes were embroidered with a woven gold dragon and phoenix pattern, but it was the same as the phoenix robe worn by the queen around her.

The next day, the morning pilgrimage.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, and the hundreds of officials below greeted him, but the number of people in the court today was much sparser than in the past, and a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky caused thousands of heads to fall to the ground.

"I plan to reduce the local three divisions, and at the same time set the governor as a permanent position, in the future, the power of a province will be returned to the governor, how to "rectify the rule of officials, streamline the officials This is what Chongzhen has long wanted to do, now there are too many things in charge of the Ming Dynasty, there are governors, governors, three divisions, and more eunuchs in the army, eunuchs in the town, there are many people, and when they encounter something, they will be in line with the strings, shirk the responsibility, and now formally and clearly divide the responsibilities, confirm the ownership of the rights, and in the future, when encountering the things that are ridiculous, they will be held accountable, and they will also take the opportunity to replace some incompetent people.
