Glaring back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen was annoyed and angry, he really couldn't be a eunuch, pretending not to see it! I'm saying I'm taking my own gold, what's wrong? It's all mine, Emperor Chongzhen comforted himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Chengen hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything, as for Emperor Chongzhen taking a gold ingot, what is this? The whole world belongs to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with Wang Chengen's attitude, nodded and said: "Okay, don't look depressed, you tell me, how much silver is in the real inner treasury?" ”

In his previous life, Emperor Chongzhen could have heard of one thing, that is, when Li Zicheng sent his troops to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen once summoned Wu Xiang, the father of Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the Three Seas, and asked about the dispatch of Guanning Iron Cavalry into Beijing to escort the car.

At that time, Wu Xiang gave a salary of 1 million taels, and he needed 1 million taels of military pay to be able to transfer the troops to the capital.

I don't think about how much truth there is, but at that time, the dignified Ming Dynasty couldn't get a million taels of military salary.

Whether it is the treasury or the inner treasury of Emperor Chongzhen, it is so empty that it can run mice, and it can't take out a penny. Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to ask the ministers to donate to the country, and that donation to the country became a joke.

Squinting his eyes and touching his chin, Emperor Chongzhen was already figuring out how to get money from his ministers.

Don't talk about others, just say that in the donation to the country, his father-in-law, the father of Empress Zhou, donated 1,000 taels to Emperor Chongzhen, and in the end he was really helpless to take out 3,000 taels, and he also wore old clothes to cry poverty in the court.

The ministers even moved furniture to the street to sell, as if they were loyal to the country, but only took out a few hundred taels, which was simply a slap in the face of Emperor Chongzhen. also blamed Emperor Chongzhen himself, he really believed in those ministers who were full of benevolence and morality, and really thought that they all read sage books and did sage things.

The old father-in-law, who was loyal to the monarch and served the country on weekdays, was blackmailed by Li Zicheng when the city of Beijing was broken.

Literature and antiques are not counted, fields and real estate are not counted, gold and platinum alone, and a huge amount of 720,000 taels was made from his house.

Is there so much in one minister, or is it an idle ruler, can anyone else imagine? Not to mention the stored grain, which is enough for Li Zicheng's army to eat, which shows how rich these ministers are. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was basically hiding the wealth from the officials, and the poor ministers occupied the wealth of the world.

Both Wei Zhongxian and Emperor Tianqi knew it, so when Emperor Tianqi was dying, he told Emperor Chongzhen to keep Wei Zhongxian.

The reason is very simple, if you leave Wei Zhongxian, someone will get you money, and once Wei Zhongxian is gone, the emperor's hand to get money will be gone. Governing the country is the same as living at home, the emperor who has no money, then who will listen to you? If you don't have money, you're nothing.

"The emperor's inner treasury has 7,800,000 taels of silver and 2,600,000 taels of gold." Wang Chengen's voice brought Emperor Chongzhen back to reality.

Emperor Chongzhen is very helpless, really helpless, he has this money? It looks like a lot, but it doesn't sound like much!

Because this is not the emperor's own money, but the money of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has no money at all, and can only receive more than two million taels of tax silver every year.

The ministers' method for Emperor Chongzhen was to increase money and continue to levy taxes, which proved that they did not pay taxes.

As a result, the common people were forced to live, and in addition to the continuous natural disasters in various places, the peasant uprising swept across the country, and Emperor Chongzhen also hanged himself in the coal mountain.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Wei is still waiting outside!" Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen standing there in a daze, and had no choice but to remind him, it's not a matter of standing in this inner library, is there anything to go out and say?

Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and walked out: "Take me to see him and see if he has anything to say." ”

For this Wei Zhongxian, the legendary nine thousand years old, Emperor Chongzhen is still very curious, after all, the name of this person in history is too big. Wei Zhongxian, who was bent on bringing disaster to the country, died, and the state of the Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, which may be very illustrative!

Those loyal and patriotic ministers, after taking power, seem to be not as good as Wei Zhongxian!

Although there are Emperor Chongzhen's own reasons in this, why not the reasons of those ministers?

When he came to the side hall, Emperor Chongzhen saw an old man kneeling on the ground, his clothes were a little wrinkled, and his face was also full of wrinkles. ”

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, this is Wei Zhongxian? The famous Wei Zhongxian?

I was still excited to see him, but now I really don't have any interest, this is a bad old man!

The majesty is not there, it is an old eunuch praying for life, and Emperor Chongzhen can see his trembling body. The kind of helplessness that is waiting to be disposed of at any time makes people know at a glance that this is a loser, a loser who has no way to control his own destiny.

beckoned to Wang Chengen: "Father-in-law Wei doesn't seem to be in good health, I am thinking of the old minister, let him rest in the palace for a few days, find the imperial doctor to give a good diagnosis and treatment, let the imperial dining room also use snacks, serve well, and wait for Father-in-law Wei's health to recover, I am discussing state affairs with him." ”

Wang Chengen understood that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to arrest Wei Zhongxian, at least secretly controlling it. Hurriedly nodded and said, "The emperor can rest assured, the old slave will arrange it!" ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say a word, knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was controlling himself, but he didn't dare to resist.

For Wei Zhongxian, he dared to do anything, but he didn't dare to rebel, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen really decided to be ruthless, Wei Zhongxian panicked, and ran to the palace to plead guilty, so that Emperor Chongzhen could spare his life.

The moment he saw Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was very clear, and he also hesitated whether to deal with Wei Zhongxian as he did in history.

Emperor Chongzhen dealt with Wei Zhongxian, but he couldn't control the Donglin Party in power, and as a result, he was directly taken into the ditch by the Donglin Party. A new emperor who has just ascended the throne must have a few old ministers who have waded through the muddy water around him to escort his country.

Before every emperor dies, he basically sees his confidant and leaves him to his successor, and he is a minister who cares for his life.

Even if someone needs to come up with an idea to carry the black pot at a critical time, these old ministers are the best candidates.

Wei Zhongxian was left by Emperor Apocalypse to Emperor Chongzhen to do this, perhaps there is a personal emotional factor in Emperor Apocalypse. Wei Zhongxian also wanted to control Emperor Chongzhen from time to time, but the current Emperor Chongzhen understood that it was the original Emperor Chongzhen who wanted to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian just wanted to protect himself.

As for killing Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, Wei Zhongxian really didn't have this idea, in the palace full of minions, Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill Emperor Chongzhen, it really wouldn't take too much effort.

When Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to deal with him, Wei Zhongxian also surrendered directly on his knees.

Wang Chengen escorted Wei Zhongxian away, and Emperor Chongzhen stood on the steps and was silent for a long time.

Although the sky was clear, Emperor Chongzhen always had a feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city. Daming festered to the bones, and if he wanted to regovern it from scratch, it was even better to break it and rebuild it, Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, and he had no good way to do it for a while.

Night soon fell, and Emperor Chongzhen did not go to Yikun Palace again, but came to Kunning Palace, the palace of Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou was waiting for Emperor Chongzhen early in the morning, took a flower bath, and made a new dress in the palace, replaced with the curtains and flowers that Emperor Chongzhen liked, and Empress Zhou herself made people dress up carefully, although the old couple who shared the hardships with Emperor Chongzhen, but Queen Zhou was not without opponents.

What will never be lacking in the palace is fighting, from eunuchs to palace maids, from concubines to queens, the surface is harmonious, but the fighting is everywhere.

Entering the bedroom of Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen was a bright eye, and directly left the Ming Dynasty behind.

Drinking and having fun with Empress Zhou, he soon rolled into bed, and the second night of Emperor Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty was naturally fragrant and boundless.

After falling asleep contentedly, Emperor Chongzhen felt as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, and suddenly opened his eyes, and Emperor Chongzhen found himself actually on a counter, with his arm on the counter and his chin in his hand.

This posture seems to be as if I have just woken up, looking at the outside of the street, it is a familiar modern city, is it that I have traveled back again?

I didn't think much about it, Emperor Chongzhen ran over directly, and found that it was really a modern street, familiar long legs, familiar little short skirts, everything around was so familiar, people were very excited when they saw it, and they came back?

"Open the Time and Space Store, the identity of the shopkeeper: Merchant!" A voice sounded in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, cold and emotionless.

"What is this place?" Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly shocked, as soon as he asked this question, a stream of information came into Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, is this his golden finger?

Freely travel through the past and the present, but in modern times, you can only appear in this store, and you can't leave more than 500 meters.

In the Ming Dynasty, when I fell asleep, I would be in the store when I woke up, and I looked back at the sign of the store, and the word "dang" was too conspicuous.

Looking around, Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, this is actually New York, New York, USA. It is not the China I am familiar with, but the New York of the United States across the ocean. His location is Flushing, one of the two major Chinatowns in New York, and this store is the only capital of Emperor Chongzhen.

"It's still good, at least you can get a tablet to go to the Ming Dynasty and scare those ministers to death." muttered, he could only turn around and walk towards the store, he couldn't leave the store for five hundred meters.
