Through the silver and influence of Chongzhen's father-in-law's group, as well as the call of Wu Yingji, Gu Yanwu and other scholars, the situation in Jiangnan has been basically stabilized by Chongzhen.

But in order to help his father-in-law, and to let his father-in-law and the new dukes and their descendants have a longer memory, and not stand by in the event of a national crisis, Chongzhen plans to launch another infighting - fight the nobles and divide the land!

Nanjing's noble Chongzhen has already confiscated Zhu Guobi and Zhao Zhilong, but there are still many nobles in Nanjing, how huge is the power of this noble? Zhu Di obtained the throne after the Battle of Jingjing, and he didn't dare to move the capital to Nanjing, and he also made a "two-Beijing system" for this purpose, do you say it's huge?

At present, Chongzhen has won over his father-in-law's group, the scholars of the Donglin Restoration Society, Huang Degong of the Four Towns supports him, and Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie's second-in-command forces have successfully ascended to the position, and they are all only Chongzhen's horses, these old nobles are just a group of moths who only occupy the land of the bus!

To get rid of these nobles, of course, there must be a name. So Chongzhen brought Wang Duo and asked him to impeach Xungui tomorrow and find out the charges himself!

The next morning, Chongzhen called all the nobles to participate in the early dynasty.

"Something to start and quit the dynasty without anything!"

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Wang Duo just wanted to come out for impeachment, and there were so many criminals in Xungui that he found a super big one.

But before Wang Duo came out to speak, Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

"Wei Guogong, please speak!" Chongzhen said.

"Weichen heard that the emperor conferred fifteen earls in a row yesterday, and Taizu had a testament: all lords cannot be awarded if they are not for social and military merits, and they cannot be given titles unless they are specially decreed. Weichen thought that there was something wrong with the emperor's knighthood! Xu Yunjue said.

This Xu Yunjue is a descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan in the Hongwu period, Xu Yunjue's father is Xu Hongji, not long after he died, Chongzhen had to admire these nobles, so that a person who had just died of his father This matter is the best, so that the emperor dismissed it in time, and he didn't dare to do anything to him. If the emperor dares to do anything to this person, he will be said by others: As soon as the father died, you are an emperor who bullies orphans and widows......

Clever, really clever!

However, Chongzhen doesn't care, you don't care if an emperor dies, I don't care what your father did when he just died?

Of course, pulling turnips has to be uprooted.

So Chongzhen said: "Do others still have objections to this matter?" ”

No one among the ministers came out to speak, including Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang, Yongkang Marquis Xu Hongjue and other nobles, Zhu Guobi and Zhao Zhilong have just been raided, and this is not the time to speak out.

The civil officials did not speak, and the reason why the civil officials in Jiangnan spoke for the Shangjia landlords was because the nobles and the people of the Donglin Party Restoration Society were torn apart, and the Donglin Party Restoration Society and the Shangjia landlords were weak, so they united to fight against the nobles. At this time, these businessmen were knighted, and they were only knighted in name, and these officials of the Donglin Party Restoration Society naturally didn't say anything, besides, Wu Yingji, Gu Yanwu and others are now being reused by the emperor to call on young people to resist the Qing Dynasty!

So Chongzhen said: "Wei Guogong is reasonable, didn't Taizu also say it, the title cannot be given unless it is a special purpose, this is not a special will!" Besides, this is just the words of your Wei Guogong family, no one else has any opinions, you have one vote, I have one vote, I am bigger than you, then listen to me. ”

Chongzhen deliberately understated, if you don't come out to speak, then I will force you to come out!

"Marquis Lingbi, Marquis Yongkang, Marquis Anyuan, Marquis Huaining, Dongningbo, you all talk!" Seeing that the Marquis of Lingbi, the Marquis of Yongkang and others did not come out to speak, Xu Yunjue was a little anxious, this is different from what you said yesterday, you said yesterday, we all got the title because of the military merits of our ancestors, these businessmen with a copper sour smell all over their bodies, what qualifications do they have to be knighted, and this duke came out to give advice to the emperor.

Seeing that Xu Yunjue confessed himself, Tang Guozuo knew that he couldn't speak if he didn't come out, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Wei Guogong's words are reasonable, and it is okay for the emperor to be knighted, but fifteen titles were awarded at once, which is a bit excessive." ”

Liu Zuochang also said, "Yes, Your Majesty." The title was originally a reward for those with military merits, the special purpose that Emperor Taizu said, but it was not a knight casually! ”

Xu Hongjue also said: "The emperor, the former prince Zhou Kui, the special decree was only awarded to Jiadingbo, and the emperor made a marquis this time, which is inappropriate." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is a precedent!" Fang Yuegong saw that these old nobles came out to speak one by one, so he decided to come out to defend Chongzhen, after all, Chongzhen's stroke brought him 100 million financial income, Fang Yuegong couldn't wait for Chongzhen to seal a few more!

"Aiqing, please speak!" Chongzhen said, he wanted to see what Fang Yuegong could say.

Fang Yuegong said: "When he was filial piety, he posthumously named his father-in-law Zhang Luan as the Duke of Changguo, and his brother-in-law Zhang Heling as the Marquis of Shouning and Zhang Yanling as the Marquis of Jianchang. Therefore, Weichen thinks that the emperor's knighthood this time is not inappropriate! ”

"Fang Yuegong, what benefits did you receive from those merchants! Speak for those merchants! Xu Yunjue said extremely deplorably, he is a prince of the country, and under one person on weekdays, this Fang Yuegong is too bold to disobey him!

"Wei Guogong, they are not those merchants, but the emperor's father-in-law!" Fang Yuegong saw that Xu Yunjue had leaked a loophole, and immediately attacked. Fang Yuegong has long been unaccustomed to these nobles, when he used to raise donations, he could still suppress the wealthy businessmen, but these nobles could not suppress a penny no matter what, and these nobles were the richest.

"Fang Yuegong, if the emperor sets this precedent, wouldn't the streets be full of dukes, marquis and earls in the future, wouldn't this chill the soldiers who were fighting on the front line, and how to work for the court on the battlefield!" Liu Zuochang hurriedly said, this Xu Yunjue doesn't have so many cities, but Liu Zuochang is different, he saw that Xu Yunjue was already angry, and he went on to discuss with Fang Yuegong, he must have said that this Fang Yuegong is a scholar, but if it is for the front-line soldiers, it is the best, the front-line soldiers only got the title for their lives, why did those businessmen spend a little money to get it, so wouldn't the soldiers be dissatisfied?

"Your Majesty, our titles are our ancestors who threw their heads and spilled their blood, and shared hardships with Emperor Taizu Chengzu, so that we laid down this Ming Dynasty and got these rewards! The ancestor of Weichen is Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who followed Taizu to resist the Yuan, was the head of the twenty-four generals in Huaixi, defeated Chen Youliang in the battle of Poyang Lake, conquered Pingjiang and destroyed Zhang Shicheng, and served as the general of the conquest of the Northern Expedition, and attacked Dadu to overthrow the Mongolian Tartars. When Xu Yunjue heard Liu Zuochang's words, he quickly came to his senses, he should put forward the great exploits of his ancestors to compare these businessmen!

For these realities of the ancestors, these nobles are the most understanding, because the nobles pay the most attention to ancestor worship, but they only remember how their ancestors shared the hardships with the Taizu, and the Taizu shared the wealth with them and were the same descendants, but they forgot to suffer with the descendants of the Taizu Emperor - Chongzhen.

"Good! You can say that again! Wei Guogong said it well! Chongzhen applauded Xu Yunjue directly on the dragon chair!

This applause made Xu Yunjue, Liu Zuochang and other nobles inexplicable, and civil officials such as Fang Yuegong and Wang Duo were also confused...... What is this, Your Majesty?

"I almost forgot that my ancestor Emperor Chengzu also went to the battlefield with your ancestors, and it's been almost three hundred years!"

Chongzhen sighed with emotion and said that let the front-line soldiers chill, this Chongzhen was angry!

Your title was handed down by your ancestors hundreds of years ago, and in the past few hundred years, you have been powerful and blessed, hollowing out the entire Ming Dynasty, eating empty salaries, and chilling the hearts of many Ming soldiers!

Forget it, when you are asked to pay for it, you still push three blocks and four of them one by one, in order not to pay for it, you poisoned one of my sons to death, and forced one of my concubines to death, don't you say that you will share the weal and woe, I will give you a chance, let you share the weal and woe with me, it depends on you, whether you are willing or not!

"Wei Guogong, I heard that you have two million acres of fertile land, there should be a lot of money in the family, thousands of domestic slaves, I don't know if you are willing to donate, recruit soldiers and horses, go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, and restore the former glory of King Zhongshan! And you, Marquis Lingbi, I am also very kind to you, when Emperor Taizu was there, the most important thing was the Dongou King! Taizu once told me that Taizu is the most important thing about King Don'ou, and I hope that I and the descendants of King Dongou will join forces to fight the demon together! ”

After speaking, Chongzhen realized that something was wrong, Zhu Yuanzhang had been dead for more than 200 years, what did Taizu say, he really couldn't pull the relationship casually, so Chongzhen hurriedly added: "It was Taizu who gave me a dream." ”

Then Chongzhen said very middle-of-the-road: "Wei Guogong, Lingbi Marquis, Anyuan Marquis, Yongkang Marquis, Linhuai Marquis...... Now that the demons are in turmoil, let us learn from Taizu and become the emperor, donate our family property, and share weal and woe together! Let's join hands and exterminate the demons together! ”

Fang Yuegong and Wang Duo and other civil officials were dumbfounded, is this the emperor we know who is a powerful minister who respects himself in addition to supporting the army?

Look at what a fool!

"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to fight the demon with the emperor, but the minister's father has just passed away, and the minister wants to keep filial piety for him for three years......" Hearing that he was going to donate his family property to fight the demon, Xu Yunjue definitely refused, and hurriedly excused himself and said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen's daughter-in-law has just become pregnant, and it is not appropriate for Weichen to leave him at this time." Tang Guozuo also said.

"I don't want you to go on the expedition with me, I want you to donate some food and money from your family, and I can recruit more soldiers and horses, and I will go on the expedition for you!" Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen's family is poor, although there are two million acres of land, but they are all poor fields, the harvest has not been good in recent years, and they have to feed a lot of people old and young, and there is really no extra food at home..... As for the silver, Your Majesty, didn't you just receive 100 million taels of silver? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, and this Zhu Guobi and Zhao Zhilong copied their homes, and they also copied millions of taels of silver, millions of fields, and more than 10,000 stones of grain, which is enough for 100,000 troops to eat for three months." Tang Guozuo also said.

"The Qing Demon is in turmoil, this 10,000 stone of grain is only enough to eat for three months, won't it take a year or two to fight the Qing Demon? Is it impossible to let the army run out of food? Fang Yuegong said angrily when he heard that these nobles refused to pay a penny of silver or a grain of rice.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan can produce two seasons of grain a year, and the emperor has silver, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy grain? Weichen thought that the emperor could order Lord Fang to start selling grain all over the south of the Yangtze River! Li Shuzu, Marquis of Linhuai, said that he has grain at home, and the emperor has silver in his hands.

"Good! All right! What a chill for the soldiers ahead! Chongzhen applauded again and scolded angrily, "Taizu and your ancestors raised troops in order to drive out the Tartars and restore China. Are you worthy of the inheritance that your ancestors gave you? ”

Hearing the emperor scolding angrily, Xu Yunjue and the others were silent, at this time, didn't they have to pay for it?

It's a painful thing to pay for! The last time the Qing Demon called, we surrendered directly, and the Qing Demon asked for money, but the Qing Demon didn't want us to come out, we just had to go to those Diao people to apportion, and the surrendered silver was enough, and we could earn a sum of money in the middle!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has made up for it!" Wang Duo said that at this time he understood why the emperor wanted him to impeach Xungui today.

"Please!"

"The minister wants to impeach Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, Liu Zuochang, the Marquis of Anyuan, Xu Hongjue, the Marquis of Yongkang, Li Shuzu, the Marquis of Linhuai, Gu Mingjiao, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping, and Sun Weicheng, the Marquis of Huaining; Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Nanhe Bo Fang Yiyuan, Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Ning Jin Bo Liu Yinji, Cheng Anbo Guo Zuoyong, when the Qing Demon came, these nobles descended with Qian Qianyi and others, and looted the people's money to the Qing Demon! ”

"Wang Duo, you ...... You're spewing blood! Xu Yunjue scolded and was about to be the most important Wang Duo.

"Wei Guogong, am I wronging you? Your Majesty, you will find out this matter as soon as you check it! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stone of grain to exterminate the Qing demon!" Liu Zuochang heard Wang Duo's impeachment, and knew that if the emperor pursued this matter, they would definitely not be able to save it, and now it is better to spend money to eliminate the disaster, it is said that the former abbot Zhou Kui donated 10,000 taels of silver, then he donated 10,000 taels, plus 10,000 stone of grain, this should be enough!

"Wang Aiqing, is this really the case?" Chongzhen asked.

"Wechen is willing to vouch for it with his head, this matter is true!" Wang Duo said.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, something similar happened, in order to hand over grain to the Jin army, the Southern Song Dynasty had ordered that after the city gate was closed, Xungui took the soldiers of the family to grab women and rob money, so let these people accept the anger of the people!

"You people, and your ancestors, think about your deeds! Are you worthy of your fathers and fathers? Forget it if you surrender yourself, you will actually exploit the people for the Qing Demon! Come on, put Wei Duke Xu Yunjue, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang, Yongkang Marquis Xu Hongjue, Linhuai Marquis Li Shuzu, Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Mingjiao, Longping Marquis Zhang Gongri, Huaining Marquis Sun Weicheng; Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Nanhe Bo Fang Yiyuan, Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Ning Jin Bo Liu Yinji, Cheng Anbo Guo Zuoyong all won it to me! Wang Duo, together with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Art Troupe, you will pull these nobles to the entrance of the vegetable market, tell the people what happened today, and let the people deal with it! Confiscate all these noble fields and put them into the treasury! The future dukes, marquises, and earls, in the current national crisis, must go to the national disaster with the imperial court, if they don't want to, they will raid the house! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate 20,000, no, 50,000..... Lakh! Liu Zuochang was dragged out and continued to bargain.
