Chapter 14: Hitting a Wall
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, on the first day of the fifth month, Emperor Chongzhen of Taihe Hall (i.e., Jinluan Palace) convened Wenchen here to discuss the government. Chongzhen was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, sitting majestically on the dragon chair in the main hall! The audience is full of ministers of civil and military affairs!
"Do you have a script?" Chongzhen asked
In the matter, Liu Siqian said, "There is a great drought in Guanzhong, Suide, Yijun, Qingjian, Mizhi and other places have not rained for several months, and the victims are everywhere, and the rogue is raging!" Please allocate food for the relief of the victims."
"Then let's make a decree to allocate food!" Chongzhen thought about it and said
"Your Majesty, the household department has long run out of food to allocate!" Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui hurriedly came out of the queue and said,
"This matter will be shelved for the time being, and it will be submitted to the cabinet for approval!" Chongzhen said helplessly
Right Zhongyun Huang Daozhou came out of the column and said: "Qian Longxi, a former scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, has been imprisoned for many days, and I implore the emperor to be sympathetic to his merits and forgive his guilt!" After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, the surrounding ministers echoed for a while!
"The minister seconded the proposal!" The voices came and went, and Wen Tiren didn't dare to speak with a dark face on the side!
glanced at Wen Tiren, Chongzhen said helplessly: "Then pardon his sin and let him defend the border and Haiwei!" ”
"What else do you have to say!" After that, he glanced at Cao Huachun! Cao Huachun immediately understood! Performance,
"Your Majesty, the prices in the capital are boiling today, and the people are miserable, especially the price of salt, which has risen several times! The people can't afford to eat salt! Please investigate this matter thoroughly and renegotiate the price of salt around the capital! ”
"The price of salt is a matter of national affairs, how can it be lightly moved! I beg you to dismiss it! A royal historian spoke
"Yes, this matter affects the whole body, and it really can't be moved! Emperor! The minister seconded the proposal! Suddenly, there was a cry of opposition in the hall! Seeing this, Chongzhen suddenly remembered Liu Fan's words, you can't look at things on the surface, whoever damages the interests of someone the most will resolutely oppose it! Whoever is most beneficial will be strongly supported! Look at the Manchu Dynasty, almost all of them are opposed! Only a few silent words! No one supported it! An unprecedented sense of loneliness rose in Chongzhen's heart! It turns out that they are really fooling themselves, what is not money, what is the abolition of the post station, what is the increase in taxes! It's all about being a fool and deceiving me!
"Let's talk about it later! Retreat! After Chongzhen finished speaking, he ignored the people in the hall and walked straight away! Leave behind a group of ministers who look at each other!
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was not in the mood to review the chapters! Sitting in the chair, I felt a little weak, it seemed that it was time to adopt Liu Fan's opinion! "Recruit Liu Fan to come to the audience!"
After a while, Liu Fan came to Qianqing Palace! "Aiqing, I have decided to build an army in the future, do you have any good suggestions?"
Liu Fan was overjoyed in his heart, his opportunity finally came, "The grass people don't have good suggestions!" But it's best to go your own and avoid distractions! ”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Chongzhen said
"Liu Fan listens to orders! I ordered you to be a hundred households in Jinyi and form a new army full-time! Another 30,000 taels of internal funds! ”
"Obey! The minister will build an invincible iron army for the emperor, and he has repaid the emperor's kindness! Liu Fan said excitedly
"As for the sake brewing, I'll send someone to take over! Just concentrate on training! Chongzhen said
"Yes! Emperor! "The new army doesn't have a name yet! Please ask the emperor to give the new army a name! That, there are ministers from the next generation and there is no word, it is inconvenient to call it, and please give it to the emperor! Liu Fan said with a smile
"You," Chongzhen pointed at Liu Fan and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll give it to you as well! “
"Aiqing is from the next generation, and he came to save the Ming Dynasty, so let's call it Jimin! As for the army, since it is necessary to defeat Jianyu in order to save the Ming Dynasty, then call it Poku! ”
"Jimin! Broken! Good name! Thank you, Your Majesty! Liu Fan said
Liu Fan chatted with Chongzhen about some details about the formation of the Broken Army, and after a while, Luo Yangxing came to report, Chongzhen smiled and said to Luo Yangxing, "Luo Aiqing, this is the new Jinyi Wei Baihu Liu Jimin, who is a full-time member of the Broken Army!" You're going to be working together in the future, so let's get to know each other! "Said to Liu Fan, 'This is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing, I believe you have heard of it "before"! The word "before" is bitten hard! Liu Fan will mean that "he has long heard that Luo is nourishing, open-minded, open-minded, brave in doing things, and loyal to the country." Never frame Zhongliang! And he is effective in doing things, loyal to the emperor, and is a rare talent in the past dynasties! "Liu Fan commented!" Good! I was right! Luo Aiqing is really a loyal minister and a good general, and he is not in vain! Chongzhen said happily
Originally, Luo Yangxing was still a little angry, this person was so ignorant, and he was so angry when he met! I was shocked to hear this! Who is this Liu Jimin? The emperor is so important! It's all the tone of the evaluation! And the emperor actually agreed with his evaluation! And rejoice in it! It's not just trust! It's a reliance! The emperor doesn't have this treatment! It seems that this person must be highly valued, and must not be offended!
"Don't dare! Can't! It's all up to the emperor to cultivate! "I've seen it, Liu Baihu! In the future, please take care of the ministers of the same hall! ”
Lord Luo is polite! Things will be more troublesome in the future! Please also take care of Lord Luo."
"Jimin, prepare for a while, and you will report to the Zhenfu Division in two days!" Chongzhen said
