As early as when Wen Tiren first entered the officialdom, he had this understanding of the reigning Wanli Emperor at that time. Emperor Wanli's greed for money, good goods and laziness reached the peak of the feudal dynasty, and he could not go to court for decades, and he thought about the most things every day, which was how to accumulate wealth and how to fill his internal money.

Emperor Wanli from confiscating the belongings of the great eunuch Feng Bao, to copying the home of Zhang Juzheng, the most powerful chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and then to opening "mining taxes" and other methods, after decades of emperors, the internal treasury has accumulated countless gold and silver treasures, but he feels that it is not enough, and he must continue to enrich until he swallows his last breath.

At that time, there were many people who were puzzled by Emperor Wanli's behavior - he was already the emperor of the Ninety-Five, so why not? Why do you want to go so desperately to get your wealth inside?

And this, Wen Tiren figured it out before others. There is no other reason, it is just to push oneself and others - I have been studying and taking exams since I was a child, and the goal I pursue is not the ideal of governing the country and leveling the world, but a very practical goal of being an official, and the goal of being an official is a very practical purpose to make a fortune, nothing more.

So, the emperor should be the same. One of the human nature is greed. When the inner money is full, the emperor has a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in his heart, and this mentality is no different from the mood of a hillbilly, a rich man, and a nouveau riche squatting at home to count the silver!

Wen Tiren muttered to himself: "The emperor is also a human being, and there is no human being who does not love money-"

No matter how poor the country is, no matter how short the military salary is, and how heavy the people's taxes are, Emperor Chongzhen himself is worried about raising financial resources. is anxious, but his own private treasury always refuses to open it for emergencies-

Not. In the past two years, the emperor has been forced to be really unable to do so, so he began to issue internal emergencies. If he doesn't pay any more money, it is estimated that the soldiers who are making trouble will soon enter the Beijing Division......

Even so, the emperor's performance was always very reluctant, very distressed, and even delayed until the last moment.

And based on this, he can conclude that the emperor's love for possessions is that even if his outward behavior is not as blatant as that of the Wanli Emperor, his inner desires are still the same as his grandfather's - perhaps the emperors of both generations are seriously insecure because of the abnormal childhood life. When you grow up, you will need a lot of money and possessions to fill the emptiness in your heart more than ordinary people!

However, Emperor Chongzhen's mentality and habit of loving money are very beneficial to himself - the person in the upper position is most afraid of "no love", so he can't think of a way to slap him in private. And since Emperor Chongzhen loves money, things are easy to do, and "do what he likes", it is naturally invincible.

Wen Tiren thought for a long time, and finally stood up and walked to the side of the fish pond. Watching the fish swim in the pool, he said lightly: "Where should I start to send money to the emperor?" ”

……

Spring during the Xiaoice River always seems to be cold. Even though it's late spring, the climate doesn't feel a little warm.

Although the weather is not warm, the spring breeze still blows green willow tips.

It is located in the West Garden Taiye Pond not far from the west side of the forbidden land of the Forbidden City Palace. The turquoise ice of the South Sea, the Middle Sea and the North Sea has finally melted into a murmuring spring water. Look far away. The clear blue pool water drawn from Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing flows slowly from the Deshengmen Water Pass in Beijing. In the West Garden, it gathers into a huge sea of leisurely, flashing with rippling spots of light under the spring sun.

"The emperor has arrived, Jinghai-" The deacon and eunuch shouted, and the soldiers of the palace brocade guards patrolling along the coasts of Zhonghai, Nanhai and Beihai immediately became vigilant, with five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the coastal defense was heavily guarded.

The huge West Garden suddenly became elegant and silent, was built in Liaojin, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties and renovated the West Garden Taiye Pond, Huatang Xuan Pavilion, pavilions and pavilions, all appear majestic, majestic and magnificent. The antique Yingtai stands between the turquoise water. The "Quiet Valley", which is far away from Yingtai in the South China Sea, is a strange rock, and there is a feeling of being in a deep valley.

In the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the blue surface of the Zhonghai, South China Sea and Beihai Sea, and the water waves flashed with brilliant waves, Emperor Chongzhen's yellow robe and crown, under the protection of the guards, came to the "Jingsi Building" in Jinggu.

Emperor Chongzhen is walking today, because he is coming here to meet a person—before meeting that person, he has always bathed and changed clothes, and walked here to show his sincerity.

Walking to the front of the meditation building, Chongzhen stopped, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This meditation building was built by himself after the Tartars entered the prison four years ago, and is mainly used to "think about life", uh, no, think about national affairs - to put it bluntly, there is a little bit of introspection in it - of course, these are not things for outsiders.

As soon as he remembered that the Tartars entered the Koujing Division four years ago, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but hate itchy.

In fact, at that time, the Jurchens came to burn, kill, plunder, and then left, and did not rise to the point of life and death of the country. Because it is not uncommon for foreigners to come to Beijing for "armed patrols".

The most famous is the Mongolian Taishi of the Yingzong Dynasty, after capturing the Ming Emperor in Tumubao, he drove the army directly to the city of Beijing - the imperial court lost face, uh, even the emperor......

Later, the soldiers of the Jiajing Dynasty Altan Khan invaded the city of Beijing, and that time was also the martial law of the Beijing Division, as if facing the enemy.

However, the Tartars have always been heavy on goods, and after looting, they will retreat outside the fortress.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, faintly aware of the difference between the Jurchens and the Mongols. Whether it's the first Taishi or Altan Khan, they all grab a handful and leave, and they don't recruit rebellion, they are camped step by step!

If the Tartars start recruiting Han Chinese, then there will be a problem - the Tartars know martial arts, and the gods can't stop them - uh, no, "the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible with ten thousand"!

can say these ten words, Chongzhen believes that he must not be a savage in Jianzhou, I am afraid that he is still a traitor of the Ming Dynasty! These traitors have forgotten their ancestors, they really deserve to be killed!

Emperor Chongzhen secretly cursed, as if he could curse Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng and others to death with his mouth.

After a violent dizziness, Emperor Chongzhen muttered to himself: "I am diligent in political affairs, without the slackness of my father and brother, why is state affairs so erosive?" It's all the ministers who deceive me, and they don't care about doing things, they only know how to make money......"

After a pause, Chongzhen continued with a dead face: "Hateful! Killable! The minister who makes money really deserves to be punished! (To be continued.) )
