Chapter 733 is all out of the capital! [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
(0733)
[Today's first update delivered]
North Zhili, Jingshi, Forbidden City.
On the first day of April, Chongzhen went to the temple to offer incense as usual. Since it is fragrant, it is necessary to eat vegetarian. Therefore, at noon, Chongzhen used the simplest vegetarian meal. Although the eunuchs in the imperial dining room have a complete set of experience passed down from their ancestors, they hide some mushrooms, mushrooms, tender bamboo shoots, monkey's head, tofu, gluten, radish and cabbage and other vegetarian materials with chicken soup, duck soup, high-quality soy sauce, and precious condiments, and cook them with wonderful hands, the taste is delicious and abnormal, and there is meat in the vegetarian food, but because Chongzhen is bored in his heart, he eats it in his mouth as if he is chewing dirt.
Chongzhen moved his chopsticks casually, stopped eating, and only drank half of a bowl of rock sugar white fungus soup. The eunuch carefully removed the vegetarian meal and held a cup of tea on a plate. Because it is during the fasting period, the tea cup used cannot be painted, but the tribute of the kiln is used, which is vegan to the end, whitened as jade, and the Song Ding kiln is better. Chongzhen took a sip of tea and stared blankly at the teacup. The brown color is tender yellow and light green, and there is a light smoke that seems to be there. The light smoke slowly dispersed.
I don't know why, Chongzhen suddenly had a vision in front of him, as if he saw a lot of people. Among these vague portraits, there are the murderous Huang Taiji, the murderous Zhang Zhun, the murderous Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, all of whom seem to be reaching out and grabbing the teacup in Chongzhen's hand. Because he couldn't grab the teacup, Zhang Zhun simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Chongzhen's neck.
"Ahh
Chongzhen exclaimed.
"Dangchang"
The teacup in Chongzhen's hand fell on the marble floor and shattered.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and Taoist priests around hurriedly knelt down, their heads firmly on the ground, panicked. No one knows why Chongzhen's cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. No matter from any angle, it is unlucky.
"Ahh
Chongzhen exclaimed again.
The sudden sound of breaking the teacup pulled Chongzhen back from the illusion, and all the figures in front of him disappeared. He felt as if there were bursts of cold sweat behind his back. He subconsciously looked back and found that behind him, the angry King Kong was staring at him. It seems that he has suffered an unexpected nightmare.
Chongzhen himself speculated that this nightmare was mostly related to the previous bloody case at Wumen. Jin Yiwei said that he drove away all the people, but in fact, he killed most of them. These facts were all reported by Zhang Yixian to himself. Zhang Yixian is the admiral eunuch of Dongchang, and his relationship with Jinyiwei has never been very good, as long as he has the opportunity to attack the other party, he will definitely not miss it.
"Could it be those unjust souls?"
Chongzhen's heart was secretly suspicious and a little frightened.
No one has ever seen the things of gods and ghosts, and no one can be sure that gods and ghosts really exist, but no one can be sure that gods and ghosts really don't exist. Therefore, most people would rather believe in what they have than what they don't have, and Chongzhen is also like this. It would not be a good thing if those unjust souls who were killed outside the noon gate found themselves.
"This Luo Yang Nature"
"This Wu Mengming"
Chongzhen habitually put the responsibility on the two commanders of Jinyiwei, thinking that they were vicious and made their own decisions, killing those people, and completely forgetting their killing intent that day. He was going to go back and deal with these two guys after the province was over.
The more he thought about these things, the more he couldn't sit down in the province, as if there was a monkey constantly scurrying around. In the end, Chongzhen decided to change the three-day fasting and cultivation to one day, and on this day, he couldn't wait for the red sun to fall in the west immediately, and quickly return to the Qianqing Palace to deal with important affairs. Subconsciously, Chongzhen always felt that if he didn't hurry up to deal with government affairs, he might not have time in the future.
Due to the lack of sleep frequently, he couldn't help but fall asleep in a chair. He had some strange dreams, all of which were related to the refugees in Kyoshi. Later, I dreamed that thousands of refugees were surrounded outside the Forbidden City, shouting for heaven and earth, and some people tried to grab weapons and attack the Forbidden City. He woke up in a cold sweat. He looked at the sun through the window, but at the end of Shen and the beginning of the day, he felt that the day was long, and this day was very long
One of the close eunuchs brought half a basin of warm water with a silver basin and knelt in front of him, while another eunuch put a plain satin over his lap and rolled up his sleeves for Chongzhen. For things like this, the palace maids serve on weekdays, but today because of fasting and repairing the province, the palace maids can't follow them, so they have to be done by the eunuchs.
Although these eunuchs were all seventeen-year-old young men, with good faces, gorgeous costumes, and light movements, Chongzhen still couldn't help but feel that they were clumsy and couldn't serve as well as they wanted. Helpless, he leaned down to wash his face and sighed softly. Whether he sighed because the eunuchs were not served as well as he wanted, or sighed because the state affairs were unsatisfactory, no one knows.
When the silver basin for washing and the plain satin covering his lap had been removed, another little eunuch came and knelt down before him, and lifted with both hands a black-lacquered tray made in an orchard of the Yongle period with snail uranium and plum blossoms. Chongzhen took the teacup from the tray, rinsed his mouth, still put it back on the plate, turned back to the other little eunuch and asked, "Where is Wang Chengen?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "The emperor, the prince just came to the front of the Wenhua Hall to wait for questioning, because the emperor did not dare to come rashly, and the slaves and maids did not dare to play." ”
This mysterious cabin was only used by the emperor to repair the province, and could not talk about state affairs. Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and decided to make an exception to leave the province for a while, go to the Wenhua Hall to ask Wang Chengen, and then come back to continue the province. He bowed three times to the Jade Emperor's god and walked out of the wooden house. As soon as Chongzhen arrived at the Wenhua apse, he sat down on the dragon chair, and ordered a small promise to summon Wang Chengen in front of him, and asked a little uneasily: "I heard some uneasy rumors in the capital today, have you heard anything?" ”
Wang Chengen said seriously: "Back to the emperor, I haven't heard it." ”
Chongzhen frowned and said: "Chongzhen Chongzhen, wandering without roots. Zhang Zhun Zhang Zhun is smooth. ”
Wang Chengen was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, sincerely afraid. He didn't expect that Chongzhen would actually know this. In fact, he has heard a lot of similar nursery rhymes, all of which are nonsense, even if he has heard them himself, he will never take them to his heart. He didn't expect that Chongzhen actually knew about it, and he told him.
"It's Zhang Yixian again"
Wang Chengen quickly deduced in his heart, and knew that it was Zhang Yixian who was spreading the news, this eunuch, in order to please Emperor Chongzhen, really dared to say anything. Zhang Yixian didn't understand at all, he was digging his own grave. Once Chongzhen is really angry, Zhang Yixian himself will be unlucky first, and he is still counting on wealth and wealth.
Because last time the Jinyi guard was outside the noon gate, he did kill a lot of people, which caused a lot of turmoil in the capital. Those people who fled in were surging in the crowd, which made Jingshi very nervous. Even some ministers in the court also felt very uneasy. Chongzhen actually disregarded the majesty of the Son of Heaven and fought against the common people, so when he was angry, wouldn't it be more natural to take his courtiers out of anger?
There was a soldier named Shi Kefa who gave a note and expressed some opinions on the matter. Although the words are very tactful, the meaning of exhortation is still very obvious. To put it bluntly, it is wrong to accuse the emperor. Subsequently, several other ministers successively went up and spoke out on this matter. Their rhetoric and stance are basically similar to Shi Kefa's.
If there were only Shi Kefa and these little Langzhong, it would be enough, and Chongzhen would not take it to heart at all. However, the next few notes are all weighty ministers. Among them, there are at least two cabinet scholars, that is, Chen Yin and Fan Fucui, and there is also a secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Qiaonian. The three of them went up together, and Chongzhen couldn't help but take into account the strong pressure inside.
In the face of these accusing performances, Chongzhen was of course uncomfortable in his heart, and ordered these recitals to be withheld and not released. He wanted to see what the situation in Jingshi would turn into. Hearing those nursery rhymes that satirized him, Chongzhen's heart was really angry. He didn't understand why his people couldn't understand themselves.
As an emperor, he deserves such a difficult time, and when necessary, he sacrifices some people, which is right. Since the emperor asked you to die, you should die obediently, how can you gather a crowd to make trouble, and even try to storm the Forbidden City? It seems that his own heart is too kind
In fact, Zhang Yixian didn't dare to tell Chongzhen the actual situation in the capital, so he just said that he had just reported some nursery rhymes. If he reported the real situation to Chongzhen, he was afraid that Chongzhen would be frightened. Deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, Zhang Yixian still knows this basic principle of being an official.
Chongzhen said coldly: "Those Diao people ......"
Wang Chengen hurriedly followed the emperor's tone and said: "It's just some Diao people......"
Chongzhen said coldly: "You think of a way to see how to deal with these Diao people." ”
Wang Chengen was suddenly embarrassed.
What to do with those people? The only way to do that is to drive them out of the city. As long as they are not in the capital, they will toss casually. However, to drive these refugees out of the capital, they must be assisted by the three battalions of the Beijing Division. If there are not enough troops, it is absolutely impossible that once there is a conflict with the refugees, it will be bloodied.
At this time, Cao Huachun came. As the admiral eunuch of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, Cao Huachun went to the palace once a day to report to the emperor on the dynamics of the subjects inside and outside the capital, and even the family affairs of the subjects were also the materials he reported to the palace. Because of this, the relationship between Zhang Yixian and Cao Huachun is not good, and Cao Huachun is suspected of overstepping his authority.
Chongzhen asked casually: "Cao Banban, have you heard any rumors in the capital recently?" ”
Cao Huachun is also a smart person, and when he came in, he received Wang Chengen's color. His expression did not move, and he said in a proper manner: "Emperor, the slave has never heard any rumors. ”
Chongzhen said angrily: "You also come to lie to me"
Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "The people of Jingshi are all clear-eyed people. They all know that His Majesty is a generation of Rao Shunyu Tang, and there are only temporary difficulties in front of him, as long as he follows His Majesty the Emperor, he will soon get better. In fact, those nursery rhymes were all spread among the crowd by wicked people sent by Zhang Zhun. As long as these latent details are caught, all nursery rhymes will naturally disappear without a trace. ”
Chongzhen squinted his eyes and stared at Cao Huachun for a long time, as if he was judging whether Cao Huachun's words were true or false. Cao Huachun has some hair in his heart, but at these times, he must be tough and show a calm look on his face as much as possible.
Reporting good news and not bad news has always been the basic principle of being a courtier, and now, the situation in the capital is very chaotic. You have to tell the truth, he will not be happy to hear it, and he will be beaten immediately. Only a fool like Zhang Yixian would tell the emperor about nursery rhymes.
Chongzhen actually felt a little deflated. Those hateful people did not understand the difficulties of the imperial court. They are not considerate of the difficulties of the imperial court, and there is no need for them to understand their difficulties. When the bodhisattva is in the heart, the bodhisattva is in the heart, and when it is time to use the thunderbolt method, the thunderbolt method should be used. Chongzhen felt that he couldn't be soft-hearted.
After thinking about it, Chongzhen asked coldly: "Cao Huachun, how many refugees are there in Jingshi?" ”
Cao Huachun hurriedly replied: "1340,000 people." ”
Chongzhen said: "All of them are driven out of the capital." ”
Cao Huachun was taken aback.
The words of the emperor's master are really a bit terrible
Expel?
Where?
If you don't get it right, it's another storm.
Cao Huachun is not afraid of killing, let alone killing so-called refugees. However, as soon as the turmoil became bigger, he couldn't control it and made bigger things, and Chongzhen had to use his head to calm the people's grievances. There have been countless precedents for such things. Chongzhen will never take the initiative to take the blame, all the faults are caused by the people below.
It's like the original Li Guorui case. Chongzhen wanted to force Li Guorui to take out the money to replenish the treasury, but Li Guorui refused to die, asked people to intercede everywhere, and finally dispatched Empress Yi'an. Chongzhen was very annoyed, and secretly asked Jinyiwei to do it and give Li Guorui a little color to see.
As a result, after Jinyiwei really did it, the matter leaked out, and a group of imperial relatives and relatives blamed Chongzhen, Chongzhen immediately denied that it was his own meaning, accusing Jinyiwei of not listening to the edict and doing it without permission, hurting the emperor's relatives, and as a result, Luo Yangxing and Wu Mengming were both beaten. Now both of them have been fined.
Fortunately, the officials of the Ming Dynasty never relied on money to live, otherwise, the two Jinyi guards would have no place to redress their grievances. As an old man beside Chongzhen, Cao Huachun is really too familiar with Chongzhen's temper, and he doesn't want to become the next Luo Yanghe and Wu Mengming.
Cao Huachun reluctantly said: "What does the emperor mean......"
Chongzhen said impatiently: "As long as you are not in Jingshi, it's fine." ”
Cao Huachun still said helplessly: "That...... Drove them all to Tianjin? ”
Chongzhen said casually: "You can do it yourself"
Cao Huachun was a little relieved.
It is a good way to transport those refugees to Tianjin Wei under any pretext, and hand over these hot potatoes to Wu Sangui for disposal. As for how Wu Sangui and them deal with it, Cao Huachun doesn't care.
