Chapter 37: The Corrupt Officials of the Ming Dynasty (2)
Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and material desires are rampant; Even though there is sun and moon in the blue sky, the society is ashamed!
300,000 taels of silver, hearing this number, the vassal kings of the full hall, civil and military and even Chongzhen were all blinded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, the feeling of the vassal king and the civil and military is that you Wei Zhongxian is not caught by the door today, even if you want to donate, it will be good to have a 10,000 taels, why bother? Didn't you, Wei Zhongxian, let me wait for the rack to roast on the fire? Therefore, they looked at Wei Zhongxian with resentful eyes one by one, and their eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing Wei Zhongxian's chest.
However, Chongzhen, who was the opposite of the ministers' thoughts, was very excited in his heart. This excitement is based on two points, one is that Wei Zhongxian's behavior seems to be his own personal behavior, but the actual person makes these vassal kings and ministers very embarrassed; Second, Wei Zhongxian's ability to pour out his bags shows that Wei Zhongxian has been able to completely attach, although this is expected by Chongzhen, but he didn't expect him to be able to do it so thoroughly. No wonder Wei Zhongxian's eyes were a little weird when he looked at him just now, tenacious and resolute.
King Fu stopped doing it when he heard this, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law Wei, this king didn't expect you to be so corrupt and the amount is so large, it's just punishable!" "You must not be merciful to your enemies, and Emperor Hongwu has long set an example for his descendants. Didn't you, Wei Zhongxian, want to roast us in the flames, then the king will trample on you fiercely.
After King Fu finished speaking, the others immediately followed suit, pointing the spearhead at Wei Zhongxian, others were afraid of him Wei Zhongxian, but these princes and grandsons were not afraid, when Emperor Hongwu established the Ming Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that the Ming clan was not under the jurisdiction of the Three Law Divisions. Unless they are guilty of the great crime of rebellion, no one in this Ming world can do anything to them.
"Uncles and brothers, don't be angry." Chongzhen saw that the time had come, and directly spoke out to stop the reproach of the vassal kings, since Wei Zhongxian was able to make such a choice, Chongzhen would never let him down.
"I, today I take this banquet to announce my decision to all the princes and ministers, and I will vigorously punish corruption for a period of time in the future, and the corruption of the Ming Dynasty is already quite serious. I hereby state that in the past, no matter how much you were corrupt, as long as you could hand over half of the proceeds of corruption to the treasury, I would not be responsible for the past. But if someone is stubborn, Hugh blames him for taking his head. Father-in-law Wei's move was very relieved in my heart, so not only would I not blame Father-in-law Wei, but on the contrary, I should praise him. ”
The meaning of Chongzhen's words is very clear, these are all my meanings, if there is something, come and talk to me.
Listening to Chongzhen's words, the kings didn't know what to say, was the emperor wrong, there was nothing wrong, but everyone understood that if they didn't say anything, the situation of themselves and others would be quite embarrassing. And the ministers below will not say anything, they know their own details, Chongzhen did not say it clearly, leaving a way back for himself. Chongzhen was in the Huben military camp, and the matter of executing Zhang Yuling, the commander of the Huben Left Guard, had already reached the ears of all the officials. Officialdom is like this, as soon as there is a stir, it will spread all over the city. Chongzhen's decisiveness is rare among emperors, and since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has frequently reformed, although he has not shaken the foundation of the Ming officialdom, but the discerning people can see that this Chongzhen, who is sitting on the dragon chair and is full of murderous spirit, can definitely take off his head for corruption without hesitation.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and everyone was thinking about their own interests. Since ancient times, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and what is the meaning of being an official without money. In this Ming officialdom, most people do not want to achieve any ideals, but more to realize their own value. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. This is the original purpose of these readers.
can now Chongzhen cut off everyone's hope, and the real money and silver that have been worked hard over the years will be handed over to the treasury in vain, and no one will be willing. Even relatively incorruptible officials did not agree with Chongzhen's words. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, as an official, no need to spend. This is the gap in concepts, Chongzhen can understand, Chongzhen doesn't need them to understand, he just needs these officials to be able to do it according to their own ideas.
Chongzhen looked at all the officials coldly, and continued: "I will give you time, by the end of this year, I hope that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty can see a new breath, and I thank you for the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”
After Chongzhen finished speaking, his tone changed, and he continued to say to you: "Princes, the Ming Dynasty is going through a hundred years of changes, the northern Jiannu have repeatedly raised troops in the south, plundered my Ming Dynasty, and the people at the border are living in fear at any time. Emperor Hongwu was sympathetic to the people, hid wealth from the people, and did not compete with the people for profit. But what you have done is really disappointing to me. ”
Chongzhen raised his hand and raised it in his hand, and his anger was overflowing. The slightest coldness, through the handsome face, made the vassal kings sweat coldly!
