The first wind and rain drifted away

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, called Shuowang Day, is the Ming court's twice-monthly court meeting.

Officials of the six ministries of the Cabinet, officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing, officials of various departments and Taoist languages, and nobles of the capital who have important duties, except for old age and illness, must participate in the morning court of the day.

The sky was still dark, and the drum of the noon gate was already ringing.

At this time, just after the end of the hour, the minister of civil and military affairs wore court clothes and lined up to enter from the left and right doors of the noon gate, and walked across the Jinshui Bridge to the square to form a team.

The first assistant Wen Tiren, the second assistant Wang Yingxiong, the second assistant Wu Zongda and several other cabinet scholars, led the officials of the six departments according to the order of rank.

The picket Yushi walked slowly from one team to another, checking the appearance of the officials.

The court ritual system is extremely strict, and the ministers are not allowed to make noise, whisper, spit, etc., otherwise they will be severely punished for the crime of disrespect.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the palace door of the Imperial Palace opened, the bell of the early dynasty rang, and the courtiers lined up to enter the palace under the leadership of the cabinet scholars.

In the hall, four leaching powder paste gold dragon pillars, the top of the octagonal golden dragon caisson well, the left copper kettle dripping, the right place the bell from the ringing, it is very magnificent.

Above the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the court for the first time, was already wearing a Ming and yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, Wang Chengen was wearing a python robe, holding the dust in his hand, and stood aside respectfully.

It's just that the originally very solemn scene was ruined by Emperor Chongzhen, who yawned from time to time.

There is no way, later generations of immortal cultivators are used to it, and they can't sleep at one or two o'clock at night every day, and it is the same now.

All of a sudden, I had to get up at four o'clock, and I was really fucking uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the sake of making trouble today, he wouldn't have suffered for himself.

It seems that in the future, I am afraid that I will have to learn from Emperor Wanli, and I will not go to court until something happens.

Below, all the ministers took their places mechanically, knelt down three times and bowed nine times with the great salute of the monarch and ministers, and knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: Long live my emperor! Banzai! Hooray!

Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally sleepy, immediately came to his senses, and a greedy look burst out of his eyes.

It's sour, it's fucking sour!

Seventy million taels of silver!

At this time, the noble ministers who knelt down were mountains of gold and silver in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, and he couldn't open his eyes.

No, it's definitely more than 70 million!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the high dragon chair, looked condescendingly at the courtiers in crimson official robes, and fell into some kind of fanatical conjecture.

Li Zicheng is just a turtle, and Liu Zongmin is an idiot who can't read big characters, and he only wants real money and gold and silver in cash.

And disdain shops, fields, grain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., but they don't know that the value of these real estate is still above cash.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that they have not been in Beijing for a long time.

After all, they ran away less than a month after capturing the city of Beijing.

In that case, if you dig deep and dig three feet into the ground, and use the attitude of slow work and meticulous work to seriously search, bah, it should be said that anti-corruption, then there are N 70 million?

If there are really N 70 million taels, and I will help the disaster-ridden provinces in the northwest, as long as there is no internal chaos, no matter how much Jiannu tosses, it will be useless.

To put it mildly, if Shanhaiguan is not lost, it will be a fucking joke for Jiannu to enter the Central Plains.

It's okay to take a detour and loot, if you try to occupy the city, you are looking for death, and Sun Chengzong was able to recover the lost land occupied by Jiannu in a few months.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Da Ming does not attach importance to Jiannu, although the thinking is wrong, but the truth is true.

If there are N 70 million, I will reorganize the Beijing camp, vigorously develop the navy, destroy the Tartars first, and then open up the territory and expand the territory, unify the world, and achieve the great cause of the emperor through the ages!

Forced to become an emperor through the ages, think about it......

The picture is too beautiful to think about.

"The Emperor, the Emperor......"

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was smiling very obscenely, and looked directly at the courtiers who were still kneeling below, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

Although he now knows the emperor's intentions, things always have to be done slowly, and he has to find a reason, right?

This has been making people kneel, not to mention that the following old courtiers can't stand it, this punishment of kneeling all the ministers for no reason, spreading it will damage the reputation of the emperor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be even!"

After being reminded, Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, stopped divergent thinking, and returned to reality.

The prospect is relatively ambitious, but we have to move forward step by step.

The ministers once again shouted in unison: Long live Xie! One by one, they stood up.

"There is a book to start playing, and there is no book to retreat from the dynasty-"

The courtiers stood up, Wang Chengen took two steps forward, shook off the Buddha dust, and screamed.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a book.

Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, reported urgently that Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in Fujian's coastal defense, attacked Liu Xiang in Tianwei and Yuanyang in Guangdong on the 8th day of April in the eighth year of Chongzhen.

More than 1,000 of its remnants surrendered to the Xiangshan Guard in Zhejiang, and the pirates in Fujian and Guangdong provinces were quelled, and there were no more people who disturbed the people.

It's just that his brother Zheng Zhihu unfortunately died. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly took the lead in the ranks.

It has not been easy for me to be the secretary of the military department over the years, there are always bandits who can't be suppressed, but there are few who can get their hands on the record, which is really embarrassing!

Now, there is finally good news, and it is natural to please the Son of Heaven.

"The decree was to award Zheng Zhilong, a coastal defense guerrilla, as the governor of Fujian, Zheng Zhihu died for the country, and the cabinet drew up a set of pension plans to reward meritorious officials.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong and his son went to Beijing with Zheng Zhihu's son to report on their work! ”

The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth were slightly raised, staring at Zhang Fengyi, who had three strands of beautiful hair, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.

There are two important points in the Ming Dynasty, one is to have a good hand; Second, you must look good, especially the ministers of the court, which represent the face of the court.

Naturally, the same is true of his own military department secretary.

But if you really want to describe ability, you can only interpret it with gold and jade.

Historically, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, that is, next year, Jiannu Azige Kobian.

Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saw that the situation could not be cleaned up, so he made a report, saying that the invasion of Jiannu was my responsibility, and I wanted to make meritorious service and go to the front, hoping to approve it.

For Zhang Shangshu's heroic move, his predecessor immediately agreed, full of hope to approve him to go to the front.

But after Zhang Shangshu arrived at the front line, he didn't work hard, and only did one thing every day - taking medicine.

This is a special kind of poison, you will not die immediately if you eat it, you must insist on eating, eat it every day, eat it before and after meals, and eat it persistently to eat to death.

Why?

If you want to untie your belt, you really can't use a kitchen knife, why do you spend so much effort?

It turned out that this Zhang Shangshu was an old fox.

Because if you commit suicide, according to the situation at the time, it is considered a fear of sin, and you will not even have a pension when you die.

But if you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, you don't seem to have the guts, so you simply commit suicide slowly, and you will die of natural causes, and you can be regarded as sacrificing yourself at work, and the treatment you should enjoy is not a lot.

As a result, the brother not only died slowly, but also accurately. Jiannu retired from the army in early September, and he died in early September, without even a single day of delay.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was more appropriate to describe such a military department as a vegetarian meal.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Proposed ......"
