As soon as the holy decree of all the Beijing officials donated money and helped, the entire capital exploded.

It is not accurate to say that all the Beijing officials donated, the first is that the holy decree requires all the Beijing officials above the seventh rank in the capital and all the noble clans to donate money.

Second, the so-called contributions are precisely forced assessments. The imperial court gave a total of five million taels of silver, and then the celebrant and the cabinet, in fact, Wei Zhongxian and Xia Junze discussed and distributed it to the heads of the various yamen in the capital.

Each yamen then shared it according to the tasks on their own.

As for the Ming clan, the Zongren Mansion that manages the clan is apportioned according to the title of the highland. These clans are mainly some idle princes who live in the capital because their fiefs are occupied by the Dashun army, including those of the previous generation and the current dynasty. There are also princesses, concubines, county kings and the like.

Xun Gui is the Ming Dynasty from the founding of the country to the present, all the heroes who have been canonized with knighthoods, such as dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts. There is no baron in the Ming Dynasty. The various levels of titles are further divided into one to three classes.

These titles are mainly used to reward ministers with foreign surnames who have made military achievements. The highest-ranking foreign minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty is also the level of the Duke of Guo, such as Liu Kui, the Duke of Wei, who followed Taizu to raise troops in the south and the north.

Because of his military merits, he was crowned the king, and he was also the king of one word, and there was only one foreign minister, Jiang Chuan, which can be said to be the first in history.

There are so many yamen, so many grandmasters, so many nobles, and it is said that five hundred taels of silver is shared by so many people, and it is not a heavy burden, and it can be made up casually.

And the reality is that because the progress of the Dashun army is too fast, the Jiangnan region, which has always been the main grain production area and tax area of the imperial court, has fallen too fast, and the Grand Canal, the main artery of the imperial court, has also been cut off, so the imperial court, whether it is the treasury managed by the household department or the emperor's internal treasury, is close to exhaustion.

The Beijing officials have not paid a salary for nearly half a year.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty's prescription for officials is quite generous, and it is simply too generous compared to the Ming Dynasty that Jiang Chuan was familiar with.

However, people's hearts are always insufficient, and no matter how much money you give, you will feel that it is not enough.

As for the clans, the emperor was more mean, he would not give too many rewards, and he would not allow the clan to be officials.

However, the clan was allowed to do business. In addition to the strategic materials that belong to the state, such as salt, iron, war horses, etc., other industries and fields allow the clan to intervene.

Therefore, many wealthy businessmen and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty either have the shadow of the clan behind them, or they are clans themselves.

Besides, the nobles can hold official positions according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. As a nobleman, he already has a normal supply income, plus the income of being an official, this is considered two incomes.

Therefore, from this level, the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty is not bad for money, and it can be said that in addition to the emperor, many people are very rich.

But no matter how rich they are, these people will not take the initiative to take out the money to the imperial court as military salaries. These people can eat it, but to get them to vomit it is really harder than to kill them.

And now it is the end of the dynasty, the emperor is a chick again, the world is in turmoil, and the royal family has long lost much prestige.

If it is left in the period when Taizu became an ancestor, the holy decree, if anyone dares to have half a sentence of nonsense, it will ensure that your whole family will not see the sun tomorrow.

But now it's really not good, these people don't have much fear of the emperor on weekdays, at most they call long live, and they treat him as a child who doesn't understand hair.

This is especially true of those clan nobles.

And many people plan to save money, in case of a change of dynasty so that they can use the money to continue to live a good life, or to find a future for themselves or something, of course, it is impossible to hand it over happily.

When the emperor first ascended the throne and killed Yuan Chonghuan, no one dared to speak, because it was none of his business, and Lao Yuan offended too many people, so no one was willing to talk to him, for fear of affecting himself.

But now it's different, it's their money that they want, and they're naturally not happy.

The wave of opposition began with the opposition of the civil officials, especially the fierce opposition of the officials and pens who were good at mouth cannons in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy, saying very bluntly that the emperor was a move to destroy the country, and sprinkled the emperor's scolding with blood.

The emperor of the speeches of the officials did not send them out, and did not do anything about it.

Seeing this, the officials who were waiting to see the news in the back went to the table one after another, and they burst into tears one by one, as if this matter was intolerable to heaven and earth.

The Emperor still didn't move.

By the next day, those clans had also begun to move. They are also not on the table, and one by one they are wearing court clothes, and they gathered a large number of people to go to the Taimiao where the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty are worshiped to cry, saying how pitiful they are, how cold the current emperor is, and so on.

The Emperor still held back.

Not to be outdone, the nobles were not to be outdone, and as soon as the door was closed, all of them said that they were sick. All those who were sent by the palace to announce the decree were all closed.

These are still cold and violent, and the most outrageous is Liu Yao, the prince of Wei, who directly led his family to beat the people sent by the palace out with a mess.

Later, Jinyiwei sent a team of people, and the also heavily armed Wei Duke's family members fired cannons, and even the Jinyiwei Qianhu who led the team was broken a leg.

It seems that overnight, the entire court has been working against the emperor.

When the young emperor Ji Siyuan first saw the recitals that scolded him, he was so angry that he trembled, blood gushed to the top of his head, his hands holding the recitals were shaking, his face was red and twisted with anger, and finally he jumped to shred all the recitals.

The imperial court is on the verge of collapse and destruction, and the people who eat the king's Lu are so disobedient, it is simply a great rebellion, and the crime deserves death!

At that time, he was going to order Jinyiwei to take people, and he was going to stuff all these bold and reckless people into Jinyiwei's edict.

Wei Zhongxian and Xia Junze persuaded him for a long time, and finally let him endure it. The reason they persuaded him was to see who else and what tricks jumped out.

If the letters of the civil officials made the emperor's anger burn, then the clansmen went to the Taimiao to cry collectively and complain to the ancestors about their actions, which was like pouring another barrel of oil on this raging flame, and suddenly making the flames lose control.

At this time, the news that the nobles collectively closed their doors, and Liu Yao, the prince of Wei, took his family to beat Jinyiwei, and the anger in the young emperor's heart finally broke out like a crater that had been brewing for a long time.

When he was the crown prince before, he was pressed by his father, and even if he said a word, he would be scolded by the emperor Lao Tzu and would be grounded.

Now that he is emperor, he thinks that these ministers should be respectful to him.

But he finally realized that he was wrong, and these people did not have him as an emperor in their hearts.

He is a stubborn young man, with the most obvious characteristics of young people - the more you don't let me do anything, the more I dare to do something, referred to as rebellion.

And another distinguishing characteristic of young people is impulsiveness, preferring to do things simply and rudely.

A few months ago, he killed Yuan Chonghuan, when the Manchu Dynasty was silent and speechless, not to mention how happy he was in his heart at that time, at that time he had a feeling - decisive killing, this is called the real emperor.

Now, the rebellious and impulsive emperor is going to show his simplicity and brutality once again, and he is going to assert his monarchy with a larger-scale killing decisiveness.
