In the early dynasty, the ministers had already gathered around and whispered, yesterday's Daming News, Daming wealth list, there were several lists of people, and these people are all powerful ministers at the moment.

Today's early dynasty is to confront the ministers of the entire imperial court.

The same situation, the last time was Jiajing. Jiajing, like Chongzhen, could not have become an emperor, but because the previous emperor had no heirs, he was supported by the ministers to succeed him.

They are all trying to take back power from the civilian clique!

"Something to start and quit the dynasty without anything!" The heart of the great eunuch Wang shouted as usual.

"The ministers have made it," Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, stood up

"Aiqing, please say" For this Ni Yuanlu, Chongzhen has a very good impression.

When Chongzhen was fifteen years old, Ni Yuanlu heard that the Qing soldiers had attacked Beijing, Chongzhen sent a letter to the world to let King Qin, Ni Yuanlu scattered all his family property and recruited hundreds of dead soldiers to rush to Beijing to support. And stated to Chongzhen the method of defeating the enemy, Chongzhen felt that it was very reasonable and was moved by his loyal and patriotic behavior, so he worshiped him as the head of the household. After Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Ni Yuanlu said: "Thanking the country with death is a matter of duty." Don't bury me after death, I will be violently corpsed outside, and talk about the grief in my heart. "And then he was martyred.

"The minister impeached the president of Daming Daily, the former cabinet chief assistant Wei Zaode, the former thieves besieged Beijing, Wei Zaode led the ministers to kneel to welcome, the heart of the subordinate, the world knows! Yesterday, the minister read the Daming Daily, and Wei Zaode actually fabricated the Ming wealth list, maliciously slandered the court officials, and hoped that the emperor would see it! ”

Chongzhen didn't expect Ni Yuanlu to say this, first tell Wei Zaode's crime of not being subordinate, Wei Zaode will be finished, since Wei Zaode is going to be finished, then according to Chongzhen's character in the past, let Wei Zaode take the blame, and the Ming Wealth List is a slander against the court officials!

High! It's really high!

"What Aiqing said, I must consider it carefully, but this Ming wealth list is reported according to Jinyiwei, you Aiqing, I don't know if there is a mistake?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have two million taels of silver assets" Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the ministry, ranked twenty-first on the Ming Wealth List, and he also stood up to defend himself

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have 1.9 million taels of silver assets, where does this money come from?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have a ......"

Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted the words of the ministers on the list

"Okay, Wang Zhixin, you make a note of the ministers who are wrong on the list, and go back and let Jinyi Wei check it."

"Your Majesty, the elder of the four dynasties of Weichen, you don't believe in Weichen, but believe in that treacherous villain, Weichen might as well crash on this wall pillar to show the world!" Li Yuzhi is really anxious, if the emperor asks Jinyi Wei to really investigate, won't the benefits of his role as a minister and receiving officials be exposed?

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Wei has always been beaten into a trick, and you must not let the Jinyi Wei investigate Lord Li, Lord Li is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and his protégés are all over the world" Liu Lishun, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, also said, Li Yuzhi is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and I, Liu Lishun, am also the champion, we are all clear streams, what can Jinyi Wei come to check!

"Your Majesty, I hope that the emperor will severely punish Wei Zaode, cancel the Daming Daily, open up the way of speech, and let the people of the world share the emperor's worries!"

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty boasted of itself, how could it block the mouth of the world"

"The Emperor's ......."

Sure enough, the Daming Fortune List and the Daming Donation List of the Daming Daily are comparable to the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, setting off huge waves in the imperial court!

"The first to open the door and surrender was Zhang Jinyan. Wei Zaode surrendered on the same day, but after discussing it with you, the people who knelt down in the past, everyone is here! Chongzhen's cold eyes swept across the ministers.

"I don't blame you, I naturally don't blame Wei Zaode, in the past, the capital was powerless to resist the invasion army, if it didn't surrender, the millions of innocent people in the capital could only follow the funeral, so I personally went to the camp to negotiate peace, I said to myself, everything is not to blame for the past, Li Zicheng and I have given him the title of king, why do I still blame you for surrendering?"

"But Zhang Jinyan Chen played Wei Zaode and several other officials, I gave them a chance, Zhang Jinyan Chen Yan didn't cherish it, I killed it, Wei Zaode repented and reformed, I used him like you, but Wei Zaode didn't have the virtue and talent of the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode was just a scholar, a scholar, let him write a book, so I asked him to create a Daming newspaper and let him speak for the court."

"Open the way of words, isn't Wei Zaode's Daming Bao a way of words?"

"Daming Wealth List and Daming Donation List, if there is a mistake, you say it, Dongchang Jinyi Wei will check and correct it, but if it is correct, is it an underreported field property, and it should be state-owned?"

The fame of the Ming Dynasty has a certain tax exemption, for example, the Jinshi tax exemption is 2000 acres, and the lifting person is 400 acres. At this time, someone will "send" the field to him! This is called contribution. If it is just a simple donation, the duty-free land in the Ming Dynasty accounts for about one-sixtieth of the country's arable land, which is nothing. But if a lot of people donate, show talent and raise people, these people are all in power, and they say that they measure and pay taxes, 4,000 acres he will still say that it is 2,000 acres, and even more, tens of thousands of acres of land are also tax-free, then the tax that the state can collect is much less.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, these officials have tax-free fields, and no one comes to donate!

Li Yuzhi knew that this Ming wealth list couldn't be competed for, and if he wanted to fight, Jinyiwei really came to check who could be clean. Didn't the emperor make a donation list, he just wanted the rich to pay.

But how could he be so willing!

"Your Majesty, Wei Zaode bewitched the public, forged a jade seal, and borrowed the name of the Heavenly Father to say that there was a typhoon and rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on May 16! Ask the emperor to severely punish Wei Zaode! ”

Seeing this, the other ministers knelt down and said, "Please ask the emperor to severely punish Wei Zaode!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, if Wei Zaode is not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Who would dare to say that there will be a typhoon and rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on May 16, and the time is so accurate, if it is one day earlier and one day in the evening.

"On May 16, the typhoon and rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were entrusted by God to me, and the literati and businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were not virtuous, but the rich world refused to share the worries of the country, so God entrusted the dream to me, so that the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang could prepare as soon as possible."

The ministers in the audience were stunned, the emperor dared to admit that he was the master in front of the public!

You know, Chongzhen is a well-known king of throwing pots!

"Your Majesty, Wei Zaode discussed the government in vain, proposed to levy commercial taxes and mining taxes, and compete with the people for profits, which will make the people's lives boring, and the tax supervision incident in Wanli is a good proof."

During the Wanli period, the imperial court began to levy commercial taxes on Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but after a large number of eunuchs got the beauty of this tax, they were insatiable and imposed multiple taxes, which finally led to the Suzhou civil uprising.

"Didn't you suggest that I open up the way, at this time, someone made suggestions for the court to solve the danger of the Qing Demon, and you said that you were talking about the government again, who will give the military salary of those Ming soldiers who resisted the Qing Demon in Shanhaiguan? Is there another land tax? ”

"Li Yuzhi, you say, what should I do!"

"The minister thinks that the matter of Liao salary can be levied a little more, and it must be that the guard is incompetent and deducts the soldier's salary......"

"Enough! The soldiers of Shanhaiguan take the risk of losing their heads at any time, how can you be slandered! ”

"Minister.... Minister.... Li Yuzhi, who is almost eighty years old, is the elder of the Four Dynasties, and it is the first time that he has been accused by the emperor like this.

"The minister is old, please tell the old man to return to his hometown!" Li Yuzhi came up with his killer idea.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, and he is far away from returning to his hometown with Lord Li!" Ni Yuanlu and others also stood up.

"If you still want to return to your hometown, let's stand up together, I've agreed!" Chongzhen said to the ministers
