Chapter 45: The cunning of Shuntianfu Yin

The man was helped up by Emperor Chongzhen, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a trembling body, knelt on the ground again, and said loudly: "Thank you, Childe!" While kowtowing to Emperor Chongzhen, he said loudly: "Thank you, Childe!" He also pulled his daughter to kneel down and kowtow to Emperor Chongzhen together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

didn't force them to pull, and only after he knocked several times did Emperor Chongzhen say, "Get up, it's okay!" ”

Standing up, the man looked at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask.

"What's your name?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "Can't you live at home?" It's time to sell your daughter, talk to me and see if I can help you. ”

"My name is Wang Dahu, the family has long been unable to live, when the explosion occurred, the house collapsed, and the mother-in-law was directly buried in it, and when it was dug out, people were already dead. The family's food was gone, leaving only a pair of sons and daughters. Wang Dahu said with a painful face.

"Originally, there were still some thin fields at home, but when my son was sick, we also had to eat, and we had already sold it a few days ago." Wang Dahu covered his face and cursed: "Those businessmen are not people, they are trying to suppress our prices, and we can't even sell the original price of 30% of an acre of land, but there is no way, we always have to eat!" ”

"The price of the land is suppressed, but the price of rice is rising, and our money will soon become a little bit of rice." Glancing at his daughter, Wang Dahu said: "I can't help it, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of selling my daughter, my son is sick, I can't watch him die like this!" ”

Seeing Wang Dahu crying with tears streaming down his face, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, you can't watch him die like this!" ”

Ask about Wang Dahu alone, Emperor Chongzhen will know what's going on, and other people don't need to ask at all.

The matter is also very simple, the government and businessmen collude, the government does not provide disaster relief, and even the officials and businessmen collude, maybe the high-priced grain bought by the people will directly have the disaster relief grain of the imperial court. Looking around, Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, saying that it was collusion between officials and businessmen, I am afraid it is unrealistic.

Those big deals, I'm afraid they are all from these officials and lords' own families, even nobles, and even royal relatives.

The son of his father-in-law, the person from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, since you are willing to dig up the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, then don't blame me. Glancing at Fang Zhenghua, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and asked, "Why hasn't Tian Ergeng arrived yet?" Don't you want his head? ”

"Back to the emperor, here!" Fang Zhenghua pointed in the direction of the city gate and said loudly.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look over, only to see a team of brocade guards pressing their waist knives and running over with murderous energy.

Tian Ergeng rode a horse, and after seeing Emperor Chongzhen, he jumped off the horse directly, ran to Emperor Chongzhen's side quickly, and knelt on one knee directly with the embroidered spring knife: "The ministers and guards are all commanding Tian Ergeng, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

The people around were dumbfounded and looked at this side in disbelief, and many people's legs began to tremble, especially those merchants who came to buy land. One by one they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they all knelt on the ground, touching the ground with their heads, and their bodies trembled.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Tian Ergeng and said lightly: "Tian Ergeng, you come to see here, Jinyi Wei Tianzi pro-army, do you know the things here?" ”

Tian Ergeng felt bitter in his heart, he didn't pay attention to this at all, these days things in the court are big things, the emperor copied Wei Liangqing's house, copied the Hakka family's home, everyone is thinking, when will the emperor copy Wei Zhongxian's house.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, Tian Ergeng didn't dare to explain at all, and said directly: "The minister is negligent, please punish the emperor!" ”

Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "Put your affairs aside first, do you see this group of people?" Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the people in the tea stall: "Take them all back, interrogate them, and see how they have harmed my people." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tian Ergeng stood up from the ground and waved his hand to the Jinyi Wei behind him: "Take them all!" ”

When those people saw that things had developed to such an extent, they all obediently followed Jinyiwei, and some of them were so timid that they were so frightened that they sat directly on the ground.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Zhenmeng who was not far away, and directly summoned him: "You stay here now, give me a good appeasement to these refugees, wait for me to issue an edict against myself, you have to explain it to the people in person, let these victims know my intentions?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely not live up to the emperor's trust!" Wen Zhenmeng nodded, he had already guessed the identity of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was not so shocked at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll get you food, and I'll be there tonight at the latest." Emperor Chongzhen patted Wen Zhenmeng on the shoulder: "You treat these victims well for me, I know that you are a member of the Wen family, don't lose the face of your Wen family, remember to be worthy of your surname." ”

Wen Zhenmeng didn't speak, just nodded vigorously, his eyes resolute.

"Your Majesty, Shuntian Mansion Yin is here!" Wang Chengen came to Emperor Chongzhen's side and cautiously pointed in one direction.

Looking in the direction pointed by Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen found that it was indeed coming, there were soldiers in front of him, the officials held the avoidance card, the gong was also shocking, a sedan chair slowly landed, and as the sedan curtain opened, a middle-aged man walked out.

Straightening his black gauze hat, the man walked quickly to Emperor Chongzhen's side, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Chen Shun Tianfu Yin Zhou Tianlu, I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhou Tianlu and said, "Get up and talk back!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became a little better.

Pointing to the refugee camp in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "Give you a chance, give me an explanation, if you can explain clearly, I will spare you once, otherwise what do you think you will end up with?" ”

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Zhou Tianlu knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, since the catastrophe, the ministers have been busy all night to raise food for disaster relief, but the surplus grain in the treasury is limited, and the ministers have to raise it everywhere, and now the ministers have raised 50,000 loads of grain, which will be shipped soon!" ”

After staring at Zhou Tianlu for a while, Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "Whose idea is to drive the refugees out of the capital and get here?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there will be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, and the ministers will gather the people here, which is also a last resort!" Zhou Tianlu exclaimed to himself: "Once the epidemic breaks out and is introduced to the capital, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Bring refugees together, and if an epidemic is discovered, it will be easy to deal with! ”

"How do you explain the forced purchase of land and children?" Emperor Chongzhen found that this Zhou Tianlu was quite difficult to deal with, and there were many reasons.

Zhou Tianlu's eyes rolled, and finally said directly: "It's the minister's poor supervision, the minister is busy raising food these days, it's really too much to do, he has neglected the things here in the refugee camp, and his subordinates are also ineffective, please ask the emperor to punish the crime!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, Zhou Tianlu found a good reason, he was wrong, he admitted it, but there was a reason, there was a hardship, and he pushed out his subordinates as scapegoats. Emperor Chongzhen had to sigh that these serious were old fritters in officialdom.

No wonder Emperor Chongzhen in his previous life could only kill people, he was really angry, and there was no good way to kill them directly.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, and even wanted people to drag Zhou Tianlu down and cut him down, and then sent someone to raid Zhou Tianlu's house, but now Emperor Chongzhen has changed his mind.

"Get up!" Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhou Tianlu to stand up, pointed at Wen Zhenmeng and said to him: "This is the disaster relief minister I just promoted, you can assist him well and do a good job in disaster relief." By the way, let someone pull your 50,000 quintals over. ”

After instructing them, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Let people go to the city to summon Langzhong, and then let the Tai Hospital send people over, and we must do a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic." ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to talk about it, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, there were so many things that he didn't have time to talk about, so he waited for himself to go back and get a book of health and epidemic prevention. When the time comes, I will hand it over to the Tai Hospital, and let them arrange someone to do it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had the idea of expanding the Tai Hospital and training some doctors, even professional military doctors.

But these also cost money, Emperor Chongzhen put these thoughts behind him, called Tian Ergeng and Fang Zhenghua to his side, and said: "That Zhou Tianlu, I don't believe anything he said, give you a chance, go and check, give me a good investigation, if anyone can find out the malpractice in the disaster relief, I will give him a python robe." ”

"By the way, don't just listen to the reward, if anyone doesn't find out, or falls behind." Emperor Chongzhen said this, sneered, and didn't say anything.

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will do their best!" The two men bowed at the same time, then glanced at each other, and then quickly separated.

Emperor Chongzhen said to Tian Ergeng: "Arrest those people and ask who they belong to and what they have done." Tell them that if they bought people, they will send them back to me, and if they buy land, they will return them to me, but they are not allowed to ask for money from the common people. ”

"Also, don't let those people go, but don't kill them either, understand?"

"The minister understands!" Tian Ergeng nodded, and glanced at Emperor Chongzhen with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, where is Uncle Guo?" ”

As the so-called inseparable, Tian Ergeng didn't want to offend the Zhou family because of this matter, or Queen Zhou. You must know that Queen Zhou's son is the crown prince, who can afford to provoke the Zhou family.

"Lock him up, get him a private room, and remember, don't let anyone see him!" Emperor Chongzhen directly said: "Even if the queen goes in person, it can't be done, do you hear?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tian Ergeng had a bitter gourd face, and his appearance was very ugly.
