The salt tax broke Yang Reform's heart, and he also saw the greedy faces of these elites in the Ming Dynasty more clearly. Make money with a gold finger? Training the new army, disaster relief? Make glass, out of textiles? Punching Li Zicheng and stepping on the skin of a wild boar? Thinking that earning a few million taels of silver every year to raise the army, you can happily think that you are very good and a model for a traverser, and now you compare it with the salt tax, only to know that others have more than 10 million taels of blatant corruption every year, and there is a loss of 10 million taels of private salt and salt tax.

Yang Gengai became decadent, felt that he was bored to do anything, and got up at ten o'clock in the morning. Sleepy-eyed breakfast, then frolicking in the harem, having lunch, doing something, it's night, getting some entertainment, eating some supper, and the day goes by like this.

I didn't even go to the early dynasty, I thought it was boring, what else was there to be good about? This Ming Dynasty has reached this level of corruption, so let him die like this, have a bird relationship with himself, don't do anything by himself, eat and wait for death every day, and in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he found a rope and hanged himself in the coal mountain. Or in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he took his mother-in-law and children, rolled up and ran to Nanjing, at least he lived to the end of his life, no problem, no matter if he died in a monstrous flood, he was dug up and whipped to the corpse, anyway, he didn't know, he didn't care about the idle affairs of the Ming Dynasty, it was purely a pain in the egg and nothing to do.

Yang Gengai began to live a real emperor every day. Wine and food, three thousand harems, happy like a fairy.

…… Emperor Chongzhen lives a "debauched" life every day, and he doesn't care about political affairs, but the ministers in the court are anxious like ants on a hot pot, this emperor is not a director, in fact, it is nothing, anyway, there is a cabinet, and various ministries, they can also manage this national affairs, but this management of national affairs, the master of ceremonies has to wear red, with a seal, Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, said, the emperor is not a director, this ceremonial supervisor is not clothed in red, and there is no need to print, the affairs of the court, the ministers can take care of it.

Without the red cloak and seal of this celebrant priest, this national event would not be able to continue. You can't carve a seal yourself, it's a capital offense. So, everyone had to find Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, and let these two emperors persuade the emperor and teach the emperor not to be like this, what to do.

…… Yang Reform was having a good time, Wang Chengen walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the two masters, Sun and Xu, ask to see you." ”

Yang Reform stopped and straightened the messy hair on his face, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi? This, his right-hand man in military affairs and government affairs, alas, let's see each other, how to say, these two old men are also looking forward to their own good, hoping that the Ming Dynasty will be good, and Yang Reform doesn't want to break their hearts.

"See you." Yang Reform said goodbye, and the palace maids hurriedly cleaned up the table. Yang Gai himself also cut his hair, coiled his hair up, put on his hat, and neatly dressed his clothes, and a refreshed emperor came back.

"Minister, Sun Chengzong (Xu Guangqi) knocks to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"The two masters, get up quickly, big companion, quickly show the two masters." As soon as Yang Gengai saw the gray temples of the two old men, he felt indebted in his heart, he seemed to be a little sorry for these two old men, these two old men were so old, and they were still running for the Ming Dynasty, but they were young people, but they were eating and waiting for death every day. Alas......, this Ming Dynasty is half heaven and half hell!

"Two masters, but you're here to persuade me?" Yang Gengai took the lead in asking.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, you must not be so decadent, the Ming Dynasty still relies on the emperor to take charge!" Sun Chengzong spoke first, the Ming Dynasty has been full of unsatisfactory things over the years, and the national strength has become more and more unbearable, and finally a more normal king, an emperor with a little hope, but he didn't expect the salt tax to hit the emperor too hard, and the emperor actually took the burden and stopped doing it, so that Sun Chengzong was so anxious that he couldn't do it, this state affair can't be delayed for a day!

"Your Majesty, you must not be so lazy, thinking of my Ming Dynasty, it is the wind and rain, the internal and external difficulties, and the natural disasters, how can Your Majesty ignore the thousands of people, so negative, and neglect political affairs?" Xu Guangqi was also anxious to blame himself, the reason why the emperor was so negative was the salt class, the salt class, he had hesitated to say it again and again, but now it seems that this matter really shouldn't be said, and the blow to the emperor is too great.

"Alas...... The two masters don't persuade me, I know, I also want to revive my Daming, but my ability is limited, this Daming, let him do this, I don't plan to take care of it, anyway, there is a home in the south of me, after a few years, if it doesn't work, I will go to the south, as for the people in this world, I can't manage it, and I can't manage it! If the two masters want to use the seal, they just have to find a companion, and I will tell him, and whatever the two masters agree to, I will approve. "Yang Reform has no scruples about his two masters, and he will say it directly if he has something to say. In Yang Reform's current heart, this is the plan, this Ming Dynasty, this degree of decay, let him die by himself, and let him die by himself. Both military and political affairs were handed over to these two masters. Be a shopkeeper who shakes his hands, live a few years of emperor life with peace of mind, eat and wait for death, when the time comes, he immediately takes his family to the south, and then he is still the emperor, and when he arrives in the south, he still spends a bad time, so it is not more unhappy than a team with those pigs?

Listening to the emperor's negative words, the two emperors were even more worried and anxious.

"Your Majesty...... No, Your Majesty...... Don't do that...... Poof......" Xu Guangqi said, a mouthful of blood sprayed in the Qianqing Palace, it was extremely bright red, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.

Yang Gai was shocked, immediately ran down, helped Xu Guangqi, and said anxiously: "Master Xu, how are you?" ”

Xu Guangqi's voice was weak: "...... Your Majesty...... Don't ...... So decadent......" said him, and the whole person fainted again.

Yang Gai was frightened and shouted, "Master Xu, Master Xu......"

Wang Chengen was also frightened on the side, and immediately shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor ......" Sun Chengzong watched with concern on the side.

Yang Reform was really panicked, he crossed over by himself, and he didn't do anything, a respectable old man, a respectable historical figure, an old man who ran for the Ming Dynasty and maintained thousands of people, but he was going to die by his side, which made Yang Reform panic and felt that his talent was unkind, what was wrong? The Ming Dynasty is going to die!

Throughout the Forbidden City, chickens fly and dogs jump.

The imperial doctor hurriedly ran to the Qianqing Palace, in the Dongnuan Pavilion, there was a person lying on the couch, take a closer look, it was the emperor Xu Shaobao, the emperor was sitting on the couch, and next to it was the emperor Sun Chengzong, the chief manager Wang Chengen, all of them were the core of the empire's power, and they were about to salute the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen said: "You don't have to salute, check it immediately, what is going on?" ”

"Yes." The doctor was in his fifties, and with only a slight bow, he came to Xu Guangqi, put two fingers on Xu Guangqi's wrist, and quietly took Xu Guangqi's pulse, probably in order to make a more accurate diagnosis, his whole eyes were closed.

Yang Gengai saw that the imperial physician was taking Xu Guangqi's pulse, and his eyes were still closed, knowing that the imperial physician was afraid of disturbing, so he made a look at Wang Chengen, and he went out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Sun Chengzong, and Wang Chengen saw the emperor go out, and also went out, leaving a quiet space for the imperial physician to avoid delaying the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

As soon as he came out of the East Warm Pavilion, Yang Reform asked, "Why is Master Xu's health so poor?" Hasn't it always been good? "Yang Gengai saw Xu Guangqi a few days ago, his health is quite good, it doesn't look like he will vomit blood, why didn't he see him for a few days, and he became like this? There's going to be something strange about that.

Wang Chengen lowered his head and was silent, he was a eunuch who stayed with the emperor all day long, and it was not his turn to talk about the situation.

Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor was angry, and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, this is all caused by the salt class, Zixian he explained the pros and cons of the salt class to His Majesty, which provoked His Majesty to abandon himself, and the ministers blamed this crime on Zixian's head, presumably, His Majesty was in the palace, and he also received a lot of impeachment of Zixian, these days, Zixian he was outside, suffered a lot of anger, and was worried all the time, and saw that His Majesty did not take care of political affairs, and he was even more anxious and blamed himself. Zixian must have been overly sad and anxious, and he was in a hurry, which led to vomiting blood. Sun Chengzong explained to the emperor why Xu Guangqi vomited blood.

What the? For the sake of salt class? I haven't gone to you to trouble you yet, you guys are good, and Xu Guangqi vomited blood on his arm, which is also bullying people too much, and Yang Gai is almost angry.

"Big friend, can there be a twist and turn to impeach Master Xu?" Yang Reform held a mouthful of resentment in his throat, uncomfortable, the matter of the salt class was originally a matter of a group of people fooling and deceiving the emperor, and the emperor would do it if he didn't pursue it, but now it's good, someone has come forward to expose the inside story, and you have made it like this, this is really not taking the emperor seriously! One by one, they put their noses on their faces and wrote "idiots", "fools" and "Kaizi" on the emperor's face!

Wang Chengen is the master of ceremonies, and he naturally knows about the book, so he said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is." There are a total of 134 books that impeached Master Xu. ”

"Impeaching Master Xu for what?" Yang Reform's resentment in his throat was very aggrieved, Yang Reform felt that his throat was about to explode, and he didn't kill a few of his people, they didn't know how death was written! Yang Gengai clenched his fists, and he really wanted to find someone to dismantle eight pieces.

"Back to the emperor, most of them impeached Master Xu for speaking Meng Lang, and he was swaggering and frivolous,...... He also said that Master Xu's words and deeds are frivolous, his conduct is not correct, his teaching is incorrect, and he is not worthy of being an emperor, so please dismiss and replace it with His Majesty,...... They also asked Your Majesty not to change the program law, never to abolish the program law, saying that the program law is the foundation of the country, and shaking the program law is shaking the national foundation......"

While he was still talking, Wang Chengen had already beckoned the little eunuch and brought the stack of notebooks over.

Yang reform's lungs were about to explode. Scold the one next door. This time, I really have to fight to the death with those dead elites, otherwise, they really don't know how many catties and taels they have, they really don't take the emperor in their eyes, and they really treat the emperor as an idiot.

In this Ming Dynasty, who is good and who is bad, history has long told the otaku Yang Reform, naturally don't use that group of pigs to fool themselves with pig-like IQ, Yang Reform is not the super unlucky guy Chongzhen in history, who was played by these pig-like teammates as idiots.

Yang Gengai flipped through a few notebooks casually, and sure enough, it was the same as Wang Chengen's words, not to impeach Xu Guangqi for not being worthy of being the emperor's teacher, that is, to say that he entered the foreign religion and had bad morals, and that he was frivolous and talked nonsense to fool the emperor, and more importantly, it was said that the program law was the national capital of the country and a major income of the imperial court.

Yang Reform doesn't know what to say anymore, the elites of this dog say that they only have the IQ of pigs to teach themselves, they only have the IQ of pigs to educate themselves, they only have the IQ of pigs to fool themselves, and they ask themselves to think about problems with the IQ of pigs. Yang Gai was already so angry that his heart hurt. The resentment in his throat was about to explode, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"What the !!!!" With a loud roar, Emperor Chongzhen knocked away several stacks of notebooks raised by the little eunuch with one hand. The entire Qianqing Palace was shaken by Emperor Chongzhen's loud roar. A few little eunuchs in the distance were caught off guard, subconsciously covered their ears with their hands, and hurriedly put down their hands, pretending not to hear.

The people around saw the emperor scolding loudly, and they fell to their knees in fright, even Sun Chengzong and Wang Chengen.

Yang Gengai roared out the resentment in his throat, it was much better, and the trembling in his body was a little smaller. My chest hurt again. What's going on? The dog said, the fool emperor won't take you to fool like this, if you want to deceive people, you can also have a better excuse! Get a high IQ! This is the IQ and level of the elites of the Ming Dynasty, the pillars?

"Your Majesty, speak softly, Zixian is still seeking medical treatment." Sun Chengzong had to remind the emperor that there was another patient here.

…… Yang Gengai took a deep breath hard, trying to stop himself from trembling, and tried to calm the anger in his heart. It's useless to get angry with light, and it's useless to tremble with light. I have to think of a way to fight with these elites, and let out a bad breath for myself and Xu Guangqi.

Over there, the imperial physician came out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, walked to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already diagnosed the pulse of Lord Xu, Lord Xu is mainly old, and he has not rested well recently, and he is mentally worried, and he is overly anxious, which hurts his heart and pulse, and he will vomit blood in the hall, as long as he pays more attention to recuperation in the future, he can't be so exhausted and exhausted in the future, otherwise, it will not ......last long."

The words of the imperial doctor made Yang Reform feel ashamed and blamed himself, if he hadn't retreated when he encountered something, if he hadn't been brave when he encountered something, Xu Guangqi would not have been forced to such a point, and he would not vomit blood on the spot, and he also had a share of this responsibility.

"Companion, take the imperial doctor to rest, give a reward, and in addition, send a few imperial doctors to take turns to take care of Master Xu, be sure to take care of Master Xu, so that Master Xu can recover as soon as possible."

The Imperial Physician hurriedly thanked him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen took the imperial doctor to rest.

Yang Gengai saw that Sun Chengzong also had gray temples and was already almost seventy years old, so he remembered that his left and right arms were really too old. Said: "Master Sun, you also have to pay attention to your body!" You and Master Xu, I am an arm! Now that Master Xu is so tired that he vomits blood, I rely on Master Sun. ”

"Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the ministers are all people who are about to enter the earth, and they can live one more day, and there is nothing, don't care too much, the son will be him first...... Alas, in this matter, Zixian has really suffered too many grievances, if it weren't for the persecution of the ministers too much, Zixian would not have been so ......, and he would not be so ......" Sun Chengzong's body is much tougher than Xu Guangqi, and he is much more open, and he is not a direct participant in this matter, so the impact of this incident on Sun Chengzong is not very great. It's just that he is also an emperor, so he has a lot of feelings, and he is also worried about Xu Guangqi, and he is unhappy.

Yang Reform has gradually calmed down, and he has made up his mind to seek justice for Xu Guangqi and kill the arrogance of these pig-like teammates. Yang Gai has had enough of this group of pig-like teammates.

"I will give Master Xu an explanation for this matter, they don't talk about the salt class, and I don't have the heart to entangle with those people, since they are doing this, they are shameless, but proud, then I have to fight with them." Yang Reform made up his mind to use this salt class as a battlefield with the elite of the Ming Dynasty to fight well, and Yang Reform, who was not going to fight in this matter, finally made up his mind to be ruthless and killer in this matter. As a traverser, and Baidu help, what are you afraid of them for? It's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken, and I move to Nanjing, can history be worse than this?

Yang Gengai calculated, he has Baidu, as well as gold fingers, and he can also dry salt, and Jinyiwei, since you elites talk about salt classes, I will give you a salary from the bottom of the kettle, so that you have nothing.

As soon as Sun Chengzong heard that the emperor was going to fight with the ministers in the matter of the salt class, he was worried that the emperor would not be able to get those bureaucrats, and said: "Your Majesty is the supreme body of Wanjun, so don't be like the villain, and wait for the ministers to think of a safe way, perhaps, you can get an extra two or three million taels of silver from the hands of the salt merchants and villains every year." ”

Although Sun Chengzong's main energy is in the military, but he is also proficient in internal affairs, and has research, when it comes to salt classes, this matter is indeed that those salt merchants and corrupt officials have gone too far, not to mention the private salt matter, the salt class that should have been more than 13 million taels was actually only paid 1 million taels, or the result of vigorous collection, this is how the emperor can swallow this breath, this country, it is when it needs money, Sun Chengzong is ready to think of a way, from the mouth of salt merchants and corrupt officials, pick up some food.

Yang Gai sneered: "Hey, hey, Master Sun, don't worry about this matter, I already have an idea, I want these damn salt merchants and those greedy villains to know that I am not easy to mess with, I want to make them die without a place to bury." ”

Yang Reform already has a way to deal with salt merchants and salt rats, and in this matter, the salt merchants will never turn over. Turning over this group of moths of the country, sinners of history.

Sun Chengzong saw the sneer on the emperor's face, so he didn't say anything more. The emperor is the emperor after all, although he is the emperor's teacher, but it is not good to interfere too much with the emperor, the emperor is a person with his own thoughts, he is a very smart emperor, since he has come out of the blow, full of fighting spirit to do things, his own goal, even if it has been achieved.
