The Wenhua Hall is carved and painted! The Emperor's Purple Gold Throne is solemn and dignified! The entire hall showed a trace of depression, and this depression, even those high-ranking officials who had been mixed with the officialdom of the capital for a long time still felt frightened!

The eighteen-year-old emperor is strong! This period of iron-blooded rectification! Coupled with his tough attitude at home and abroad, the nerves of these ministers are about to burst!

If you want to choose the most difficult person in the world, you must not ask, Zhun Bao is the emperor!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat tightly, he was not impatient!

The current cabinet is led by Qian Longxi, Wang Qia, Yu Dacheng and the newly promoted Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu Hongxun The four old men, all of whom are almost seventy years old, standing there, the aura is enough, and they can also control the scene, but now it is not filming, and when they hear the emperor asking, they all can't wait to lower their heads so much that they can't lower their heads.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also silent, and no one in this palace had brains, let alone this kind of decision-making method related to the fate of the state! Who's coming out?

Zhou Yanru confidently took a step forward, walked out of the minister's court, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister has advice." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen made a gesture to let him speak, and he also knew that at this time, only Zhou Yanru dared to speak, and the rest of the ministers were all decorations, all of them were used to attack each other.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen actually didn't like Zhou Yanru very much, but he had to say that Zhou Yanru was capable, courageous, and dared to think and do. Indeed, he has the qualities of an iron-blooded prime minister! Zhou Yanru's advantages and disadvantages are particularly obvious!

"Your Majesty. First of all, let's talk about the problem of food shortage. Since ancient times, the price of goods has been high, and the price of grain in the Gyeonggi area of the Ming Dynasty has been high! So it's not a matter of price, it's that the entire Ming Dynasty is short of grain, not that there is a shortage of grain in one place in the Gyeonggi region, so the grain can't come up, this problem, Weichen means to let the saint relax, this is really not caused by the emperor. Natural disasters are accompanied by man-made disasters, and the emperor has done his best. ”

Zhou Yanru's words have attracted a lot of recognition! The ministers chimed in.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, meaning to let him continue. This passage is half a sycophant, but it is also true, at least, Zhou Yanru dared to say that the whole world was short of food, at least, everyone knew this situation, but no one dared to put it on the table to say.

"As for the examination order, the current statistical roster in Weichen's hands has reached more than 30,000 people. And. The roster is still being added and the deadline for registration is up. There are four days left. The number of applicants for this examination order has far exceeded that of previous years! ”

Everyone roared.

No one expected so many people! Even Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was taken aback!

However, Zhu Youzhen woke up in a blink of an eye, this is because he lowered his standards, and did not require him to have the qualifications of Xiucai or above to participate, plus the big riots in the past few days, there are readers who are disloyal to the emperor and oppose the new policy are being exposed everywhere! Maybe the people who can know a few words in the entire Gyeonggi area are afraid of being implicated, so they all sign up! It can't be counted as a happy thing, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it can barely quench your thirst.

Among these more than 30,000 people, how many of them are sincere in their efforts to contribute to the imperial court and take becoming an official as their goal in life? The devil knows, don't say, the thousands of years of imperial examination system can consolidate feudal rule! Scholars are all brainwashed with the way of Gangchang, monarchs and ministers, the way of heaven, and a lot of sages who are conducive to feudal rule. He can only make everyone separate from him.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen interjected, "Since there are already so many people, the registration for the examination order will be closed!" Also, the movement of picketing scholars to disperse the Chaogang has also stopped, and I feel that most of the scholars are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to me. ”

Everyone wiped their sweat and waited for the emperor's words, and in the past few days, everyone up and down, from the princes and princes, to the people of Limin, was scared half to death, and they were worried that they would be dragged out of their homes by a bunch of people to parade at any time.

Zhou Yanru kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Weichen has the order." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a little funny, in fact, this picket was initiated by him, and it was not handed over to Zhou Yanru to do! But being fooled by Zhou Yanru like this, he took all the responsibility! No matter what the emperor wants to do and what the consequences are, he Zhou Yanru is on the emperor's ship now!

Which of the civil and military officials in the DPRK eats dry rice? Which one is not in the officialdom and has been crawling all his life? I secretly admired this Zhou Yanru's flexibility and courage!

Standing with the emperor does not mean that there is no risk! There were many times when the emperor himself couldn't take the pressure! It's easy to push out the ministers and put them under pressure!

"The trilateral issue, Weichen thought that he would use a heavy code! All the leaders who participated in the rebellion and rebelled against the people will be killed! Ordinary homeless people who participated in the rebellion were all taken as official slaves. Zhou Yanru spoke, everyone gasped, such a tough attitude, you really dare to speak! In case of chaos in the world one day, it will be related to the source, that is, you Zhou Yanru talking nonsense, bringing disaster to the country and the people.

No one said anything, many ministers were secretly observing the emperor's expression, and the first key for these people to be officials was to figure out the emperor's mind!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's face did not change a trace of expression, it was as calm as a lake in the depths of winter, without the slightest ripple, and everyone couldn't see whether the emperor agreed with Zhou Yanru's opinion or opposed Zhou Yanru's opinion.

In fact, even Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen himself is now shaken! If you kill too indiscriminately, you will attract even greater opposition! But if you don't kill them, what will happen to the problem of feeding so many hungry people? He couldn't help but think of the last time he quarreled with Zhou Ke'er, because of how to deal with the rebellion of the hungry.

Now that there is no relief food at all, is it up to the anti-people to make trouble? Moreover, there are more and more anti-people, and the number of officers and soldiers who suppress bandits must increase accordingly.

"Fu Yongchun, you will go to Wang Chengen tomorrow to lead the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the inspection department, and you can go to Shaanxi in person, and you can deal with the trilateral issue together with the special envoy appointed by Wang Chengen to you as appropriate." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not blindly issue a holy decree, this is also where he progressed, and at this time, no matter what decision he made, it was inaccurate. (To be continued......)
