The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the stars are like chess, and the candlelight in the palace hall is dimly swaying, as if it may be extinguished at any time.

"I don't know what Your Majesty means by letting us come to the court at this time."

One of the ministers sighed, a slight impatience on his face.

After all, in the middle of winter, who wants to leave the bed and come here to go to court!

Not to mention, the palace hall is so spacious, but I don't even know how to light a stove, and I didn't bring a quilt or anything like that before I came.

Some of the older ministers were already trembling in their clothes at the moment.

"Anti-thieves are becoming more and more rampant, although Huang Taiji is dead, but his ninth son Fulin also has ambitions, Your Majesty must be embarrassed about this matter."

One of the ministers said with a sigh.

"Hmph, I can't even solve the problem of just a thief, I will definitely go to the table and let this group of generals stink for 10,000 years!"

A middle-aged minister snorted coldly.

Hearing this man's words, the others distanced themselves from each other.

"Lord Wei, this is biased, the military salary is scarce, and we are powerless to return to heaven!"

A somewhat majestic-looking man sighed.

"The military salary is scarce, don't make excuses for your incompetence, Zu Dashou, you left your post without permission, and today this official will definitely join you, so that you will be stinky for 10,000 years!"

The middle-aged official pointed at the general's nose and scolded.

"You!"

Zu Dashou's eyes suddenly burst into flames, not only him, but also the generals in the court also glared at these civil officials.

If it weren't for the image, I would have punched and kicked it directly!

Let this group of people who only know BB above the court all day long accept the cruelty of reality!

However, when I thought that if I beat these tongue-talkers, it would really be the end of the calf.

It is almost certain that it will be left for 10,000 years!

After all, the tip of the pen of this group of civil officials is even more ruthless than murder!

Of course, for the war on the front line, the military attaches present were also uncomfortable.

Saving the mansion will fall, and then the name will go down in history, dare to ask which military general has never fantasized.

But what about the result?

Reality and imagination are always a little different.

Ignoring the tactics of the other side, it seems that every time you can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and anticipate in advance the military defense arranged by yourself and others, let's just say ordinary.

Salaries were scarce, and in some cases soldiers even had to eat bran to keep themselves from starving.

Fighting a war is a matter of physical work.

To put it mildly, your two groups of meat-eating and vegetarian people fight and it is definitely a victory for meat-eaters.

Why?

People who eat meat are stronger and stronger!

Eating bran every day has the combat power of a fart.

Some soldiers go to the village people's houses to find some food on weekdays, and those people will first ask you are Da Ming or Da Shun?

The soldiers did not dare to say that they were from the Ming Dynasty, but only from the Great Shun.

Because only in this way will the people give a bite to eat.

Although Li is not ashamed to become a person, but at this moment, the Dashun army is really the desire of the people!

When I came back this time, I actually wanted to ask the court for military salaries.

If there is no more military pay, then the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of them will probably disperse by themselves before they encounter the enemy.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The next moment, the voice of the eunuch Wang Zhixin came, and the ministers present suddenly straightened their clothes one by one and made a serious expression.

Although many things can be disobeyed, at least on the surface, it is still necessary to have enough respect for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to participate in the ancestors' birthday, these generals have neglected their duties, and the war ahead is tight, and at this moment they openly returned to the court and begged Your Majesty to punish the crime!"

Wei Zaode said impassionedly, and his face was even more loyal and patriotic.

Chongzhen turned his head to look at the generals led by Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou suddenly panicked in his heart.

I don't know why, I always feel that today's Chongzhen gives me a sense of majesty, as if if I only need to say the wrong word next, then I will die without a place to be buried.

"Your Majesty, the war ahead is tight, but the soldiers are hungry, and some of the clothes they wear are cotton clothes made of catkins, and if this goes on like this, I am afraid that they will be defeated before the war starts, so I implore Your Majesty to sow the grain!"

Zu Dashou argued loudly.

"Heh, you-"

"That's it!"

Chongzhen's words made Wei Zaode, who was about to continue to mock, suddenly close his mouth, and just looked at Chongzhen with a straight face.

What is the most important thing for a literati?

The most important thing is the wind bones, even if you make some small moves behind your back, but at least you have to make a show on the surface.

"I, I summoned you and others to come here today for the sake of food."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen looked at the minister below.

The ministers below looked at each other, as if they wanted to find a crack in the wall and get in.

Although I don't know what Chongzhen is going to do, there have been rumors a few days ago.

But—

I'm afraid the richest person in the world is His Majesty the Emperor, but at this moment, the emperor still wants to ask for money from himself and others?

If you don't have money, you need to die!

"Lord Zhang?"

Chongzhen asked as he looked at an old man who was constantly moving backwards.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, the old minister sold his property the day before yesterday and got a total of thirty taels of silver, and now that the war ahead is tight, this official will donate all his family property to His Majesty."

The official surnamed Zhang stepped forward and said with a bitter face.

Walking around, the full patches on the official uniform are very eye-catching.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is loyal and patriotic, I haven't changed this clothes for a few days, right?"

Chongzhen said with a smile.

If it was before, it is possible that I was deceived by this guy, but since I read the history of the Ming Dynasty, if I believe it now, it will really be a bad pen.

"Ahem, the clothes can be warmed, and if you can leave a penny to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, then let the old man not wear clothes!"

The official was stern.

The surrounding officials rolled their eyes one by one.

This old guy is really-

It's really shameless!

Nima, a few days ago, I bought an old house, and then sold it with a bitter face, and now why is she pretending to be poor?

Is there anyone in the world who could be more shameless than this old fellow?

But I have to say, this old guy's method must be very effective.

Wait a minute, do you want to follow up with a wave?

Some officials are already considering the feasibility of this matter.

"Okay, I'll give you permission, Master Zhang, you can take off your pair."

Chongzhen looked at the official surnamed Zhang with a sneer on his face.

"What?"

Not only the official surnamed Zhang, but also other officials looked at Chongzhen with a confused face as if they had misheard. 、

The next moment, the official's face turned red instantly.

"Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, how can Your Majesty insult the old minister so much, if you don't give the old minister an explanation, the old minister will be today... He crashed to death in this Jinluan Palace! ”

The old man pointed to the coiling dragon pillar of the Jinluan Hall and shouted

"Okay, I'll give it my go, you can hit it."

An official surnamed Zhang......
