sent away the iron mask, and a new pattern of Jinyiwei gradually took shape. The www.biquge.info factory is led by his own master, the imperial guards and the imperial forest army are led by Liu Qingfeng, and Suzaku is in charge of the security of the harem. The safety of the capital, Zhu Qing has nothing to worry about for the time being. It's time for him to return to Kaifeng, Killing Wind and Heisha and others returned to Beijing to take up their posts, which greatly weakened Kaifeng's garrison, and Li Yufeng disappeared for many days, if Li Zicheng learned about the city defense situation in Kaifeng, Kaifeng would be in danger.

However, before leaving, Zhu Qing decided to face the saint again.

It is said that in his position, he seeks his government. Zhu Qing was not the leader of Jinyiwei before, and it was inconvenient to ask about many things, but now that he is sitting in this position, Zhu Qing wants to make a difference.

Before facing the saint, Zhu Qing summoned Killing Feng, Liu Qingfeng, Suzaku and others to advise the emperor.

They are all their own people who are not interested in fame and fortune and are dedicated to doing things, Zhu Qing hopes to put pressure on Chongzhen with various forces and let Chongzhen do something unprecedented.

After Killing Feng and the others heard Zhu Qing's plan, they were all surprised, because they had never had such an idea, and they didn't even dare to think about this kind of idea. However, several people have said that if this matter is done, it will play a very big role in saving the Ming crisis. However, it is too difficult to achieve without national policy. So they decided to admonish the supreme ruler, Emperor Chongzhen.

"The ministers will meet the emperor." Zhu Qing and his entourage attacked the face saint.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Chongzhen looked at the new pattern he had created single-handedly, it seemed that it was not bad, he smiled slightly, "Qinglong, aren't you going to leave for Kaifeng today?" Why did you suddenly enter the palace to face the saint? So what's going on? ”

"Your Majesty, before leaving Beijing, the ministers have important matters to discuss." Zhu Qing responded.

"What's the matter? Let's hear it. ”

"The minister dared to ask the emperor, today's Ming is dangerous?"

Chongzhen nodded, "Internal and external troubles are at stake." Chongzhen is also very honest, because the reality is in front of him.

"Has the emperor ever thought about why the Ming Dynasty is in danger today?" Zhu Qing continued to ask, wanting to discuss these issues with the emperor, before Zhu Qing, there were few people.

"What do you want to say? The Ming Dynasty was deeply affected by the rebellion of the eunuchs, and it was weak for a long time, and there were displaced people who took the opportunity to make trouble, and there were Tatar captives outside. This is an indisputable fact. Chongzhen responded.

"What the emperor said is very true, but the eunuch party has been removed, why is it difficult to get rid of the predicament, and Zhongxing is difficult to recover?"

"Shen Ke has been sinking for a long time, and it is difficult to return." Chongzhen responded, and everyone nodded, how could the problem of Daming be solved by killing one Wei Zhongxian?

"Does the emperor want to get rid of the sick and regain his life?" Zhu Qing guided step by step.

"Aiqing thinks everything I do is child's play?" Chongzhen sneered, aren't you talking nonsense? Do I still want to be the king of the dead?

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister knows that the emperor is dedicated to the country and works hard." Zhu Qing said goodbye.

"Aiqing has a good plan, just say it." Speaking of this, Chongzhen knew that Zhu Qing had something to admonish, otherwise he would not have spared such a big bend to say this.

"Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!" Zhu Qing stood up and hugged his fists to admonish, he knew that this was a death admonition, if he didn't get it right, he would kill his head, because Chongzhen was the biggest tyrant!

As soon as these words came out, although Kill Feng and the others had already prepared, they still couldn't help but sweat for Zhu Qing.

Sure enough, when Chongzhen heard this, he slapped the desk angrily, "Presumptuous!" Do you know what you're talking about? Chongzhen thought to himself, do you want to fight Lao Tzu?! It's against you!

Liu Qingfeng and the others were furious when they saw Chongzhen Longyan, and quickly knelt down to intercede for Zhu Qing, although Kill Feng was in a wheelchair, he also buried his head in pleading, "The emperor is angry, Zhu Qing lost his words for a while, please don't take it to heart." As he spoke, Suzaku pulled the corner of Zhu Qing and asked him to quickly kneel down and ask for guilt.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing did not move, staring at Chongzhen tightly.

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Qing, he was angry and helpless, he thought that there would be today from the time he decided that Zhu Qing would sit in this position, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Look, is this a momentary gaffe? This is clearly a long-term plan. If I'm not mistaken, you're just like him, you're here to be lobbyists today, right? Chongzhen pointed to the people in the audience, and he was angry.

Seeing that Chongzhen saw through it, Kill Feng and the others had no choice but to remain silent.

"That's right, it was the ministers who forced them to enter the palace together, if the emperor wants to punish him, he will punish Qinglong alone. Let them go, Qinglong will be at his disposal, as if this has never happened. Zhu Qing spoke bluntly.

Listening to Zhu Qing say this, he was the first to raise his head to kill the wind, he was not a person who bowed his head easily, but because of the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, if the emperor couldn't even tell which was right and which was wrong, he would not compromise on killing the wind, which is why he has been willing to be a subordinate for so many years, not for personal gain, not for vanity.

The minister dared to say a word for Zhu Qing. Although Chen Gang was also surprised when he heard Zhu Qing's idea, but think about it, why are there so many displaced people? That is, some officials are rich and unkind, wantonly looting the people's fat and people's ointment, bullying the people, and the officials, coercing, and opposing the people! Does the emperor know what the people say about Li Zicheng? "Killing the wind has been fought all over the country, suppressing countless riots and uprisings, large and small, and there are naturally not a few people who have heard of it.

Listening to the words of the killing wind, Chongzhen began to calm down, he looked at these people in the audience who admonished each other with death, no one had ever dared to be like them, they were either flattered by their aunt, or they were directly reversed! Who can think of themselves and the Empire like that?

"How do you say it?" Chongzhen asked softly, he wanted to know, and he was afraid to know.

Chongzhen's question, everyone was silent for a moment, because it was an answer that was not easy to speak. Because except for Chongzhen, everyone here has heard the voices of the people.

After a while, Suzaku spoke, she was a woman, and she seemed to have compassion when she said it, more like that.

"Open the city gate, meet the king, break into the city without food...... Suzaku said lightly, but it seems that the words are full of the suffering of the people's livelihood and the voice of the people.

After Suzaku finished speaking, there was silence again. Zhu Qing and the others knew that the words had been said very clearly, they didn't need to say much, they needed to let Chongzhen chew these sentences by himself, if Chongzhen couldn't figure it out, why did they bother for the so-called Daming?

"Open the gates...... Facing the King...... The king enters the city...... Don't pay for food......" Chongzhen read these sentences word by word, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "What a don't pay for food!" Unexpectedly, I have become a robber who robs the people of their jobs in the hearts of the people, and I am no longer the king they trust and rely on! ”

Chongzhen's words made the hall filled with an indescribable tragedy, which is an indisputable reality, but it is too cruel to let Chongzhen bear these things alone, he is the king of a country and a member of all living beings, but history chose him and gave him another mission.

"Your Majesty, it's not your fault alone, it's the fault of the Ming Dynasty, it's the fault of time." Zhu Qing spoke again, "It's not too late to make amends." Zhu Qing did not give up because of Chongzhen's lamentation, as the king of a country, Chongzhen enjoys the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and naturally has to bear the infamy of Qianfu, these are the things he should have to bear.

"Is it too late? Then who can tell me, if you don't pay food, what will the soldiers eat when they fight? Chongzhen sneered.

"Eat food!" Zhu Qingying said, "But it's not to eat the people's grain, the people don't have much food to eat, there has been a famine in many places, and there are not a few people who eat tree bark, and even some places are easy to eat!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was greatly surprised, he had heard of the famine, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Therefore, we cannot increase the taxes of the people. Instead, taxes should be reduced and land should be distributed to them. Let more people have a way to live and reduce the riots of displaced people! Zhu Qing continued.

"I can't give all the royal gardens to the people to farm, can I?" Chongzhen shook his head and said.

"No need for the emperor's imperial garden. As long as the emperor said a word, beat the local tyrants, divide the land, and distribute the land and money of the corrupt officials to the people, the riots of the displaced people can be temporarily alleviated. Zhu Qing got back to business.

"In this way, the riots of the displaced people have been alleviated, but presumably the officials are not happy, they have their own forces, and it is much easier to organize riots than those displaced people." Chongzhen also understands the situation.

Zhu Qing nodded, "That's right, that's why you have to be careful and take measures from the country." "How easy is it to implement GCISM in the context of feudal imperialism?

"How to be careful? Say it. "It seems that Chongzhen is beginning to waver, because now there are displaced people, and the officials are also seeing the wind and rudder, and it is only a matter of time before many magistrates rebel.

"It takes both internal and external cooperation. The court is controlled by the emperor and all loyal ministers and good generals, and does not let the traitors make waves, and the place is handled by our factory guards, first control the local military power, and then divide and deal with it, for those unrepentant corrupt officials and corrupt officials, first go to their military power, cut off the collusion of local forces, and then replace them with credible ministers sent by the imperial court, and secretly supervise by the factory guards, rectify the local military administration, reduce and reduce local taxes, appropriately distribute the land to the people, reward the local officials and the people according to the results, and circulate the cultivation, so as to form a benign reward mechanism, go to the people's grievances, and win the hearts of the people. Zhu Qing said in one breath, thinking that this plan had been in his heart for a long time. After all, Zhu Qing knew the root of Daming's illness, but it was unrealistic to solve it in one step, blindly suppressing riots and resisting foreign enemies was by no means a long-term solution, Daming's national strength was not sustainable, this was the most likely way he could to reverse the situation.

"Where is the military supply?" Chongzhen asked.

"And take it from the finances of corrupt officials, as soon as the corrupt officials are removed, taxes are reduced or reduced, and the people's hearts are smoothed, you can save a lot of expenses, and then supplement the army with the people and deal with the homeless, and do a good job, you can kill two birds with one stone." Zhu Qing responded.

After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded, "This requires a lot of courage, and it is by no means effective in a short period of time." ”

"That's why the emperor needs to make a painful decision. Thinking about the fact that the Ming treasury has been unable to make ends meet in recent years, is it just consumed by war? A lot of finances have been embezzled by corrupt officials! Zhu Qing responded.

"Good!" Chongzhen slapped the desk hard, instead of lingering and waiting to die, it is better to make up his mind, carry out reforms, or have room for recirculation, and then say that he reorganizes the factory and guard, isn't it just to want a new pattern? So Chongzhen angrily pointed at Zhu Qing, "Qinglong, I will follow what you say." Zhong Aiqing immediately put the matter discussed today into a document, in which the problems and measures are listed in detail, and I will see the change bill within three days! ”

"Obey the order!" Zhu Qing and the others were excited when they heard that Chongzhen supported the reform.
