For Gong Cheng, Sun Chengzong has always felt that he is not bad, and he can be regarded as a talent that can be used, but he didn't expect him to come such a hand today. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info impeachment of Li Kuilong Naturally Gong Cheng didn't want to do it himself, Sun Chengzong knew that he didn't have such a great ability.

Whether he found out about these things, or asked Li Tianlin to help, it was said that it was not something that Gong Cheng, a small member of the Ministry of Rites, could do.

It's just that Sun Chengzong doesn't know Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts very well, but since Emperor Chongzhen has been in contact with him several times, Sun Chengzong knows that this young son of heaven is definitely a person with a heart and a gully, and I believe that there will be a strategy soon!

It is not a good way to be beaten, and it is not a good way to deal with it passively, only a move is the best way.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's back, Gong Cheng's face was a little ugly, he shook his head with a wry smile, and walked out of the palace with steps.

When Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, the anger he had just now had disappeared, and his face had returned to a solemn expression. For those ministers, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't have much hope, and Emperor Chongzhen also has to admire himself, this acting skill is soaring!

Turning around and seeing Wang Chengen following behind him, Emperor Chongzhen said bluntly: "What about Wen Zhenmeng? Did the people bring it? ”

"Back to the emperor, I have already asked Lord Wen to wait in the warm pavilion!" Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.

From the very beginning, Emperor Chongzhen has been looking for a candidate for the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, and this candidate is too crucial. My first policy is to start with Suncheonfu, and it is about to start, and I can't delay it.

I haven't found a suitable candidate for a long time, but this time it's different, Emperor Chongzhen met Wen Zhenmeng from the victims, and he felt that he was very suitable. It's just that the distance from what he asked, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know yet, and now it's time to have a good chat with Wen Zhenmeng.

Walking into the warm pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen saw Wen Zhenmeng who was standing on the side, and Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Excuse me!" Saying that, he said to Cao Huachun: "Move a stool for Wen Aiqing!" ”

Cao Huachun naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly moved a brocade pier over and handed it to Wen Zhenmeng with a smile.

He was not familiar with Wen Zhenmeng and Cao Huachun, but he knew that Emperor Chongzhen valued him very much, so he stood aside and looked at Wen Zhenmeng carefully.

"Alright, let them all go down!" Emperor Chongzhen drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids, and then he said, "How is the disaster relief going?" I haven't had time to ask these days, how is it going? ”

"Back to the emperor, the disaster relief is going very smoothly!" Wen Zhenmeng hurriedly replied: "The food is very sufficient, and many wealthy families in the capital raise money to raise food, so there is no problem in spending this winter." Now we have started to build houses for the people, and most of them have already returned home, although it is still a little hectic, but it is going well. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said with a smile: "The big households in the capital raise food donations? ”

"Yes, his Chinese lord played a very important role, he himself donated two thousand taels of silver, and at the same time mobilized a lot of people." Wen Zhenmeng nodded, and said calmly: "Many royal relatives in the capital have also contributed. ”

Smiling slightly, Emperor Chongzhen understood that this was a gesture of goodwill to himself, they were still locked up in the prison of Jinyiwei, how could they not be in a hurry?

Looking at Wen Zhenmeng's serious appearance, Emperor Chongzhen knew that he must have withstood a lot of pressure during this time, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you!" ”

"The duty of the minister!" Wen Zhenmeng hurriedly said, this is Emperor Chongzhen's concern, and it is also an affirmation of himself. However, Wen Zhenmeng knew in his heart that he was doing this for the sake of the victims, not for his official future.

"I'm going to make you the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, do you have any ideas?" Emperor Chongzhen did not dwell too much on the issue of disaster relief, and directly stated his plans. No matter what kind of reform it is, the first place to try it out must be Shuntianfu, so Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to the candidate of Shuntianfu Yin.

Wen Zhenmeng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "The minister must be the liver and brain to repay the holy grace!" ”

"Okay, very good, I hope you can do more good things for the people, do more practical things, now there are not many officials who are willing to do things for the people." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Zhenmeng and sighed: "Don't have the reputation of your ancestors, whether it is Wen Tianxiang or Wen Zhengming, I yearn for it, but unfortunately I can't see it." ”

Wen Zhenmeng was naturally proud of his ancestors, and at the same time, he always demanded himself, nodded and said: "The minister never dares to forget, and often introspects in the name of the ancestor, and the minister will never lose the face of the Wen family." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and shifted the topic to his own question: "In the early years of Yongle, the country was in ruins, and it had just experienced troubled times, and the country was very withered in terms of population and industry. But at that time, the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty was 36 million taels of silver, which was only one of the land endowments. ”

"Last year, Daming's talent was 3.7 million taels, and the salary was 2.4 million taels, and the people were miserable, do you know why?"

Wen Zhen Meng Moran, how could he not know why? Who in the world doesn't know why?

Seeing that Wen Zhenmeng did not speak, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "During the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng introduced a whip law, the examination law and other reform measures, and the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty was 6.4 million taels. During the Wanli period, the imperial court once sent eunuchs to various places to levy mining taxes. ”

"The opposition from the government and the opposition was very loud, and the tax eunuchs became the target of public criticism, and in the end they had no choice but to cancel the mining tax." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Zhenmeng: "Now natural disasters are still frequent, wars in the north are frequent, and there are rebellions in various places. ”

"The imperial court has no food for disaster relief, no money for wars, and even arrears of salaries for officials and salaries for officers and soldiers."

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Some people say that Liaodong spends a lot of military salaries, which leads to the emptiness of the treasury. What I want to ask is that if the imperial court earns 36 million taels a year, what is the military salary spent in Liaodong? ”

"Chengzu swept the north three times, hundreds of thousands of troops conquered, the people did not eat chaff vegetables, and there were no rats in the treasury, why is it like this now? I really want to know why, can Wen Aiqing talk to me? ”

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, Wen Zhenmeng's forehead was a little sweaty, although he was self-assured and calm, but at this time he felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, and his back was cold.

Does Wen Zhenmeng know about this? You know, is it clear? Clear, I believe that there are many people who know clearly. But why didn't anyone say it? Because no one dares to say it, let alone do it, no one dares to do it at all. Even Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to do it!
