When formulating major national policies, they will all be hindered, and if Zhu Youzhen's idea cannot be implemented, let alone that in the future, he wants to formulate a national policy that can affect the course of the entire era, such as the integrated taxation of officials and gentry.

"Father-in-law Wei, can you agree with me." Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth and asked Wei Zhongxian, is he letting Wei Zhongxian speak for himself? Wei Zhongxian is in charge of the inner treasury, if Wei Zhongxian supports at this time and says that all expenses do not need to be spent with a tael of silver from the treasury, then the matter can be settled.

Although Wei Zhongxian has been absent-minded, the dialogue between Zhu Youzhen and the courtiers is also clear, Wei Zhongxian of course knows the purpose of the emperor to let him speak at this time, even if the emperor is messing around, he has to agree with Zhu Youzhen's idea in an embarrassing situation at this time.

"The three battalions are the country's reliance, and it is urgent to strengthen the army, the old slave feels that the emperor is very sacred, since Huang Ge Lao said that the people are working and the money is lost, then the inner library is willing to bear all these expenses." Wei Zhongxian said according to Zhu Youzhen's meaning.

When Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai heard Wei Zhongxian's words, they were all helpless, those in charge of money and those in power agreed, what could they do to hinder them.

But Huang Liji still opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and it still needs to be discussed again, the minister thinks it is ......" Huang Liji's words were interrupted by Zhu Youzhen before he could speak: "Huang Ge Lao doesn't need to speak, I have already thought about it in my heart, since Gonggong Wei said that he would never spend a penny on the household department, then this matter will be decided, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou This matter will be handed over to you, and Hong Chengchou, the military department has made a register, the three major battalions have 170,000 soldiers, three months is too short, I don't want you to fill the gap in three months, But thou shalt give me three battalions of 120,000 men in three months, and cut off the old and the weak, and choose the strong. ”

"The ministers obey." Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou said respectfully, since Hong Chengchou is the commander of the three major battalions and is quite talented, of course he will not refuse such a thing that is beneficial to the army, and as for the cost of salary, he is not in Huang Liji's position, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai again, and encouraged: "The two auxiliary ministers are dedicated to the country, I am very pleased, if the Ming Dynasty is so loyal to the country as the two auxiliary ministers, then why can't I worry about the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations." I am also tired, so all of you should step aside. ”

"Yes." After everyone bowed, they withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Huang Liji, who left the palace gate, still sighed, only felt that he was a little aggrieved as the head of the cabinet, but since the emperor said so, let him mess around, and if he caused an incident in the future, he couldn't blame himself.

It's late at night, people often say that the moon is dark and the wind is high and kills people at night, this sentence is very suitable for Cui Chengxiu in the edict prison, Cui Chengxiu sat on the bed, looked at the food in front of him, and couldn't make up his mind to eat, because the person who delivered the food said to him, Master Cui, eat quickly, this is your last meal.

This person said these words to show that the rice was poisonous, although this was the best ending that Cui Chengxiu thought of for himself, but when it came to the end, he couldn't make up his mind and ate the poisoned rice.

He was thinking about the past, he was attacked by the Donglin Party, and his position above the court was in jeopardy, and he chose to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, who was also attacked by the Donglin Party, and did not make a "great contribution" to the establishment of the eunuch party, but now that he thinks about it, although he was in the limelight for a while, he ended up like this at this time, and he regretted that he should not have colluded with Wei Zhongxian for the sake of power.

Cui Chengxiu trembled and picked up the meal, thinking: "Zhu Youzhen, Wei Zhongxian, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you two go, hahahaha." After finishing speaking, Cui Chengxiu ate a bowl of food cleanly.

After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Cui Chengxiu stood up and looked at the moon hanging in the sky through the small wooden window, his eyes moistened, it was because he remembered his family when he was about to die.

After standing for half an hour, Cui Chengxiu went to the bottom and bled to death.

The sound of Cui Chengxiu falling down seemed so abrupt in the silent prison, Jinyi Wei was attracted to it, several Jinyi guards looked at Cui Chengxiu lying on the ground and felt strange in their hearts, so they opened the cell door and came forward to check, and when they arrived, several Jinyi guards were startled, and the felony Cui Chengxiu died.

The whole edict prison is not quiet, at this time the thousand households stationed in the edict prison are Tian Ergeng's cronies Li Shichao, because Tian Ergeng does not want to drag Li Shichao, the poisoning of Cui Chengxiu is not not related, Li Shichao saw the dead Cui Chengxiu was shocked, and rode a fast horse to Tian Ergeng's mansion, he did not expect that the person who poisoned Cui Chengxiu was Tian Ergeng.

The Inner Palace was still quiet, and Zhu Youzhen was lying beside Zhou Yufeng at this time, he didn't know that his plan had been disrupted.

The next day, Zhu Youzhen returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall from Kunning Palace, with a gloomy face all the way, because when he woke up, he was notified by the eunuch that Cui Chengxiu was dead.

It is difficult to poison a felony in the imperial prison, but it is very simple for Tian Ergeng, who is in charge of the imperial prison, after Zhu Youzhen learned the news, he knew that this was Tian Ergeng's hand, and it was also Tian Ergeng's idea of wanting to retreat.

After Zhu Youzhen returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he urgently recruited Tian Ergeng into the palace to discuss this matter in detail.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youzhen, who had a gloomy face, looked at Tian Ergeng and said angrily: "Cui Chengxiu is dead, how did he die." ”

"The minister learned from the mouth of the servant that the criminal Cui Chengxiu died of poisoning, and the minister immediately ordered the arrest of the person who delivered the meal and the person who prepared the food, but both of them died, and they were also poisoned." At this time, Tian Ergeng and Zhu Youzhen were two people who understood, and they both knew each other's intentions.

"The person who delivered the meal has died at all, what does Lord Tian mean? It is difficult to say that there is no possibility of picketing in this case, and it is a death case. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely urge his subordinates to handle the case as soon as possible, give an explanation to the emperor, and also give an explanation to the hundred officials." Tian Ergeng said angrily, when the matter is coming, Tian Ergeng does not have the slightest idea of fear, that is because Tian Ergeng knows that the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the wood is already in the boat, even if he is afraid and panicked, it will not help, it is better to face it calmly.

Zhu Youzhen patted the dragon case, stood up, walked to Tian Ergeng's side, and said in a cold voice: "Tian Ergeng, I don't want to play dumb riddles with you, you and I understand how Cui Chengxiu died, and I also understand your intentions, but Jinyiwei and I can't do without you, you don't want to think about how to jump out of this circle, it's meaningless, Yushi will impeach you, and I will try to protect you, but I need you to make meritorious contributions, Yang Huan and others, they need to confess, they are all instigated by Wei Zhongxian, so they plot rebellion." ”

"Your Majesty, this case has been handed over to Lord Feng of the Criminal Department for trial, and Weichen is only assisting from the side, and has no right to try privately." At this time, Tian Ergeng couldn't listen to any words, he only understood one truth, if he wanted to save his life, he had to resign from the post of commander of the Jinyi Guard, and retreating to the mountains and forests was the real safety, as for plotting with the emperor in front of him, it was tantamount to plotting with the tiger.

"Presumptuous, Tian Ergeng, I trust you so much, are you really repaying me like this at this time?" Zhu Youzhen said very angrily, after Tian Ergeng retired, although the imperial party could not have strong political capital soon after its establishment, but it could not affect the overall situation, the most difficult thing for Zhu Youzhen to accept was the feeling that things developed beyond his expectations, and the smooth sailing after ascending to the emperor was interrupted, is it that the development situation in the Ming Dynasty in the future is worse than he imagined? Can't even say that the Ming Dynasty died in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen?

Tian Ergeng knew that the emperor was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything to contradict him, so he could only keep silent, everything was to save his life, if he angered the emperor, it would be the real gain that outweighed the loss.

"You said Wei Zhongxian had ever participated in the rebellion?" Zhu Youzhen continued.

"I don't know."

Tian Ergeng, who does not enter the oil and salt, made Zhu Youzhen have some signs of madness, if it weren't for his identity, he really wanted to kick Tian Ergeng when he was young and vigorous, and then let him get out.

Zhu Youzhen calmed his thoughts, returned to the dragon couch, closed his eyes, paused for a while and said: "Tian Ergeng, you don't have to hide it, I know what you plan in your heart, but at this time, Cui Chengxiu conspired against him, Yang Huan, Cui Yingyuan, Xu Xianchun Tianji, all went to prison, the court is at the time of employing people, I can't let you go, until the court survives this juncture, I will definitely meet your wishes and let you return to your hometown." "Since the hard one is not good, Zhu Youzhen doesn't mind the soft call, if Tian Ergeng doesn't eat the soft and hard, Zhu Youzhen has no choice but to meet Tian Ergeng's requirements, remove his position, and then discuss seniority in Jinyiwei, and find a person with enough qualifications to serve as the commander of Jinyiwei, but this is the situation that Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to see. Today, I have dinner with friends I haven't seen for a long time, and I feel a little lonely in my heart, and I always feel that the relationship is not as close as before.
