The sun is shining brightly, and the temperature is gradually rising, dispelling the cold of early spring.

Under the city wall, the crowd on the street gathered, bustling, no less than 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands of people, at a glance, they were all black and oppressive crowds, difficult to count.

Moreover, there is a constant influx of people on various streets. Jin Yiwei went door to door to inform that these people lived relatively close, and there were some people who were a little farther away.

In the whole city of Beijing, there are 110,000 households, which are full of millions of people. Women and children rarely go out, but now they are even more afraid to come out in the war. Most of the people who can go out are men, and basically they all come. This is also because of the plague last year, which killed no less than 200,000 people, otherwise, more people would have come.

"Your Majesty!

Luo Yangxing hurried over, followed by a cowering old man.

The old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and in this era when he was called an old man at the age of forty, he could be regarded as a long life. The gray hair was a little messy in the wind, and after seeing Chongzhen, he was stunned at first, a little incredulous. It wasn't until he saw Luo Yangxing kneeling down that he hurriedly knelt down, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", and his forehead was red.

"King Caomin sees the emperor in the New Year!Long live, long live, long live!" Although the old man didn't know the etiquette of the palace, he still watched a lot of dramas, at least he didn't make jokes.

"Hurry up, please get up!" Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward to help, he respected the loyal people of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Danian was grateful, this is the emperor, and he actually supported himself personally.

"Move a chair for the old man, and the time to wait for this big show is not short!" Chongzhen saw the old man staggering and waved his hand.

How dare the old man accept it? Even the emperor is standing and sitting by himself, isn't he going to lose his life?

Seeing this, Chongzhen no longer insisted.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Chongzhen bowed his head slightly and walked up to the city tower.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty, I was wronged!"

"Your Majesty, let us go, I was wrong!"

On the city tower, pieces of "bacon" hanging in the wind immediately came to life after seeing Chongzhen. The civil and military officials wept and wailed as if they had seen a great savior. They know that Chongzhen is a soft-hearted person, and if he suffers a few times and begs for a few words, he may be able to fool him.

This time, however, they miscalculated.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to them at all, but walked to the battlements of the city tower, revealing half of his body, condescendingly, looking down at the people below.

The city tower is more than 20 meters high, and in later generations, it is also six or seven stories high.

However, Chongzhen coughed lightly, and the sound was like thunder, spreading all around.

This is also due to the fact that Chongzhen has exchanged several innate exercises, and now he is already a strong man at the peak of his innate nature, and his breath is rolling, not to mention the transmission of sound for thousands of miles, it is still very easy to spread one or two miles.

Under the city walls, the crowd was bustling, in groups of three or five, and it was noisy. Hearing this light cough, like thunder exploding in my ears, it buzzed, and it was all silent for a while.

Chongzhen said loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I am the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen!"

Zhu Youzhen: Ordinary people may not know this name.

However, everyone knows what the four words of Emperor Ming mean.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, perhaps frightened, or not believing that the emperor would appear in front of them.

Fortunately, at this time, in front of the crowd, an old figure took the lead in kneeling down and said, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" It was Wang Danian.

Some people took the lead, and others hurriedly knelt down in the same way.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up!"

Chongzhen held his hand and said, "Today, I summoned everyone to come, mainly to hold a public trial meeting and publicly interrogate some corrupt officials. You can see that this group of corrupt officials has been hung on the city tower, waiting for the public trial. ”

Everyone had already noticed the people hanging on the city tower, many of these people had not taken off their official uniforms, and many people recognized their official uniforms and identities, and there was an uproar. Obviously, the rank of these officials is enough to scare a group of people.

However, more people are waiting with interest to watch the show, and the Chinese have not lacked the spirit of watching the show since ancient times.

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "However, before the public trial, I want to thank one person first!"

As he spoke, he pointed his big finger at Wang Danian in front of the crowd and said, "Everyone knows that a few days ago, I called for donations, and the old man Wang Danian took out his life savings, and donated more than 400 taels. For this reason, the family could not even afford to eat rice, so they used miscellaneous grains to satisfy their hunger. Such a patriotic person, I want to thank him for the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

"Today, I have decided to crown Wang Danian as a thousand households in Jinyi and Wei Qianhu, hereditary. I want to tell everyone, tell the people of the world, as long as you are willing to contribute to Da Ming, Da Ming will not treat him badly!"

Wang Danian was stupid, as if in a dream, but he was reminded by the person next to him, so he knelt down tremblingly and thanked him: "The grass people thank the emperor!"

"Lao Wang, Your Majesty has already named you a thousand households, you should change your words!" next to him, Luo Yangxing said with a smile.

The old man was slightly stunned, and then said happily: "King Weichen Danian thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"

Suddenly, the people around were all surprised, and there were envious and fiery eyes from the crowd.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and it is hereditary, and he can be an official for generations.

It's only four hundred taels of silver, and it's exchanged for a hereditary title, and I can't eat it all. Many people secretly regret in their hearts, why didn't they seize the opportunity? I knew that I could be crowned an official, and even if I went bankrupt, I would have to donate a sum of money.

Looking at the floating hearts below, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction. Don't be afraid of people's ambitions, and ambition can inspire motivation. Why is the combat effectiveness of the Qin army so strong? It is because of the rich rewards. Similarly, as long as it can stimulate the meritorious heart of people in the world, Chongzhen doesn't mind taking some benefits.

Chongzhen Chong on the side of Luo Yangxing bowed slightly, Luo Yangxing immediately took out an account book, walked in front of a hanging minister, opened the account book and said loudly: "Cabinet scholar Chen Yan, donate three hundred taels!"

Rumble!

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around. Even Wang Danian was stunned.

Three hundred taels!

A cabinet scholar, who served as the first minister, only donated three hundred taels of silver, which is not as good as an old man like Wang Danian.

This can't be described as stingy, it's just an iron rooster.

"Perhaps, this Lord Chen is a clean official, with a clean breeze on his sleeves!" someone argued, but he didn't believe it when he said this, the minister of the capital, a few thousand taels for a random house!

When everyone was talking, Luo Yangxing's next sentence suddenly made the audience angry:

"Last night, Jinyiwei raided Chen's house and obtained a total of 300,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, countless antique jades, and a hundred acres ......of land deeds."

Rumble!

The crowd exploded, and the anger rose to the sky.

The family has a million-dollar property, but he is only willing to donate 300 taels, is this still a human being? The iron rooster is stronger than him.

Moreover, where did so much money come from?

You don't have to think about it to know that this must be a big corrupt official.

"Kill him! Kill this corrupt official!"

The crowd was furious, and eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were smashed at Chen Yan one after another.

Poor Chen Yan was hung in the air and couldn't dodge at all, and in the blink of an eye, he became more smelly than a beggar.
