"I've got you covered!"

Chongzhen was furious, I still want to let you donate food and silver calmly, but now it seems that I am too indulgent to you.

"Li Richao, go and get two thousand brocade guards!"

"Yes." Li Richao didn't understand why the emperor called so many Jinyi guards, Jinyiwei was responsible for reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, and intelligence collection, and suddenly called so many Jinyi guards, did the emperor want to arrest these officials from the household department?

"Your Majesty, you don't need 2,000 people, you just need to track down Fang Yuegong, the secretary of the household department, Li Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Zaodehe, the Daming newspaper." Zhu Chunchen knew that the emperor was very angry, but he was angry, and he didn't need to arrest the officials of the entire household department, the court still had to maintain its operation.

"Cheng Guogong, just arrest these few people?" Chongzhen suddenly asked.

The emperor's expression is not quite right, does the emperor suspect that it is me? It's useless to be suspicious, behind me are the entire imperial family.

"Your Majesty, this Fang Yuegong forced donations too much, Li Yan asked the art troupe to perform to bewitch the people to force donations, and Wei Zaode also used the Daming newspaper to bewitch the people to force donations, the people and the emperor are not wrong, and the other officials of the household department are not wrong."

Zhu Chunchen doesn't want to offend too many people, if all the households are arrested, what will the people in the world say?

Tens of thousands of people can't be offended, and the emperor can't admit his mistakes, and the scapegoats can only be Fang Yuegong, Li Yan and Wei Zaode.

Li Yan and Chen Yuanyuan took the art troupe to sing on the street all day long: donate food, and the household management is full! If anyone doesn't donate, that person is a traitor!

And Wei Zaode's Daming Bao is a series of articles saying that in the current national crisis, everyone is equal, and the duke and marquis must take the lead in donating food and dismissing domestic servants to serve as militia! Also deliberately named the dukes on the list of Ming wealth one by one, who is the ancestor of whom, who is who, your ancestors and Emperor Taizu created the foundation together, and you should also donate your family wealth to resist foreign enemies with the emperor at the moment of national disaster.

It was these three people who bewitched hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and now tens of thousands of people are waiting for them, the dukes and marquises, to donate their family wealth every day. Can Zhu Chunchen spare these three people?

Chongzhen thought, Zhu Chunchen thinks so well, you don't have to offend the people and the emperor, and you don't have to offend other officials in the household department, compare the lives of three people with the entire emperor's relatives and relatives. Your Majesty, you are angry again, and you know who to punish!

Chongzhen sat quietly on the dragon chair, letting the officials below discuss, he stared at these royal relatives, princes and ministers!

Zhu Chunchen was stared at by Chongzhen so creepy that for a moment he wondered if he had gone too far and colluded with the palace maids and eunuchs to poison the prince and princess! But there is no way, we are all relatives of the emperor, and we are all your right-hand men, what can you make us pay? There are so many people who are planting your land, can't you just let them pay more taxes?

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has arrived"

Li Richao took two thousand brocade guards to the outside of the main hall and stood neatly.

"The head of the household department, you take the officials of the household department to write down the amount of donations pledged by these royal relatives and princes and ministers just now, and let them draw a pledge to confirm it!"

"Your Majesty, what are you ......?" Zhu Chunchen asked puzzled.

"Didn't you just say donating food? I asked the household department to write down the amount and set up a merit monument for you! ”

"Your Majesty, did the minister donate less, and the minister donated a little more, and the minister donated 3,000 taels of silver and 300 stone of grain?"

"No, don't donate, donate enough, it's okay to have less, I have already died a prince, and one of my princesses is also in danger, I don't want more princes and princesses to suffer."

"Your Majesty, can you not donate?" Zhou Kui heard that you can donate less, if you don't donate, it would be better, my two million silver was dug up, and if I donate again, my flesh hurts to death.

Chongzhen saw that it was the national abbot, "Ouch, it's the national abbot, yes, of course you can!" ”

"Then I won't donate, I'm too poor, our family, these days we go to the household department to eat"

Chongzhen is MMP in his heart, don't donate anything, you still go to the household department to eat!

"Hubu Shangshu, you can keep a good record of this list, how much you donate, remember clearly, if you don't donate, you will remember not donating. Also, all the ministers are here today, and I would like to make a statement here, and the list of ministers who are willing to donate all the food for the whole people and dismiss their servants to join the militia will also be written down by me, and I will remember you, and I will remember them all! ”

"Yes!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Fang Yuegong was confident, he was worried to death just now, thinking that he was the next Chen Xinjia, MMP, if I become Chen Xinjia, I will scold Zhu Youzhen for killing loyal ministers in this hall!

"Lord Wang. How much to donate? ”

"I donated it all, the whole people eat together, anyway, we Hanlin Academy, there is not much oil and water, in case the Qing army really besieges the city, it is me who starves to death"

"What about you?"

"The Jinyi guards are here, looking at the formation is not right, I'm like you, stand on the emperor's side."

"Yang Wuhou, how much do you donate?"

"Five hundred taels, if you don't donate grain, the grain in my house can be sold at a high price when the time comes!" Yangwu Hou Xue Lian returned.

"Marquis Dingyuan, how much do you donate?"

"I'm just like Yang Wuhou, five hundred taels."

......

"Your Majesty, all three hundred and eight officials have been entered!" Fang Yuegong handed over the list to the emperor.

Chongzhen didn't even look at it and said, "The officials who agree to eat with the whole people can retire from the court." ”

Chongzhen probably looked at it, well, it's not bad, there are close to a hundred officials, and after these officials left, Chongzhen also left, planning to see Princess Zhaoren.

The ministers who stayed behind saw that the emperor left without saying a word, and they didn't tell them about retreating from the dynasty or whatever, so they all wanted to catch up with Chongzhen and ask Chongzhen, "Emperor, emperor, what will I do next?" ”

However, Jin Wuwei stopped them and did not let them get close to the emperor.

The Jin Wuwei of the Ming Dynasty was the emperor's guard, and his main responsibility was to protect the emperor and inspect the capital.

When Chongzhen walked up to Li Richao, he handed the donation list to Li Richao and said, "Li Richao, you take this donation list, take all the remaining officials to the household yamen, and read the donation amount to the people gathered there. Tell the people that the Qing army slaughtered Yangzhou, Zhu Yousong and Zhu Changshu of Nanjing and Hangzhou surrendered, and they learned from the Song Dynasty. The Manchus asked them for 50,000 beauties and 20 million silver, and they had 400,000 troops and did not dare to fight the Qing army, but they took the soldiers to rob the daughters of the people and give the money of the people to the Qing army! You tell them that I will never surrender to the Manchus, and that my policy of eating together is to live and die with the people! What the people eat, what I follow the people to eat, the enemy is at present, these royal relatives and princes and ministers are unwilling to share the hardships with the army and the people of the city, the amount they donate is here, these people are all meritorious descendants, I have no right to decide their life and death, I know that the water can carry the boat and also capsize the boat, the people let these lives, these lives, the people let them die, let them die! ”

"Yes!" Li Richao replied excitedly, MMP, the dignified duke and marquis, and the Qing soldiers are ready to besiege the city, so you will only donate a few hundred taels of silver! You're still trying to sell food at a high price! Wait for death!

Those royal relatives and princes and ministers were dumbfounded, there were more than 200 of them, Chongzhen asked them to face the anger of the people in the city, this is to let them die!

They all knelt down and cried and shouted, "Your Majesty! Emperor! The minister is willing to donate all, and the minister is willing to donate all! ”

Chongzhen pretended not to hear it and left directly!

Hehe, it's late!
