Ni Yuanlu heard that the land was going to be divided again, and secretly felt sorry for the Jin gentry, they didn't know how many years of hard work they had to buy a family house, and Chongzhen gave it to the people with a word.

Zhu Youjian didn't know what Ni Yuanlu was thinking, and continued: "Jianlu ravaged Shanxi for more than a month, the people must be extremely panicked, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court suddenly appeared, and they must not be able to distinguish between the enemy and me. ”

Gao Di hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor has arranged it before, and early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will go out to find the people with the head of Jianyu, and they will definitely be able to calm people's hearts." ”

"Gao Qing always reassures me when he does things." Zhu Youjian praised.

"It's all the emperor's daily teaching, and the minister just learned the surface." Gao Di said respectfully.

Ni Yuanlu squinted at it, and said in his heart: "This is the first big old man, since he was in charge of Jinyiwei, his work has become more and more high-profile, and even his mouth has become slippery."

The old man had to talk to the emperor about it alone. ”

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded, accepted Gao Di's sycophancy, and said: "Gao Di is very serious and loyal, but there is one point, what he did not do is right, and he needs to be corrected as soon as possible." ”

Gao Di hurriedly made a panic when he heard this, "Please make it clear to the emperor, and the minister will definitely change it if he knows his mistake." ”

"Before the Jiashen Change, the imperial court could not pay silver, and many soldiers did not obey the general's orders, and you raised nearly 10,000 private soldiers in Shanhaiguan as the main force in the battle.

At that time, all the general soldiers in Liaodong were like this, and I can still not blame you.

Later, I formed the Flying Dragon Army and the Yulin Army, and transferred all your private soldiers, and you did not complain and actively cooperated, which I am very pleased with.

But now, the salary of the imperial court is timely and sufficient, and you still secretly raise 1,348 private soldiers, and they are placed in the Jinyi Guard and the army from time to time, which is not right. ”

When Gao Di heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, "Shengshang Mingjian, those are not the private soldiers of the ministers, they are the elite soldiers carefully selected by the ministers, and they are arranged in the army, and they are also ...... It is also to increase combat power. ”

Gao Di was sweating profusely, and even he himself only knew that he had more than 1,300 private soldiers, and the exact number was not very clear.

Emperor Chongzhen actually knew that it was 1348 people, who sneaked into my side and found out the secret? East Factory? Wang Chengen?

Hmph, it must be him!

Zhu Youjian said: "You know whether it is a private soldier or not, but since I told you in person, I am not ready to investigate deeply." You can go and be dismissed quickly. However, I will not allow such things to happen in the future. ”

Gao Di hurriedly knelt down, "The minister is guilty!" The minister will definitely change his past. ”

"Excellent! As a member of the cabinet, Gao Qing should put his mind on the DPRK and the Central Committee as much as possible, and communicate less with the middle and lower-level officers, so as to help you do your errands well, understand? Zhu Youjian said slowly.

Gao Di sweated again, he was sure that there must be secret agents around him, and his contacts with those generals must have been reported to Chongzhen.

is discussing the embezzlement of 120,000 taels of silver today, and it is estimated that Chongzhen has already known about it.

Thinking of this, Godi's hands trembled. He forced himself to calm down and said loudly: "Thank the emperor for his teachings, and the ministers will do their best." ”

When Ni Yuanlu saw Gao Di's expression, he knew that what Chongzhen said was true, and the last so-called teachings were more like warnings, and he couldn't help but get nervous, and said in his heart:

"The emperor's secret agent is comparable to the Hongwu Dynasty. I'll have to be careful in the future. ”

Zhu Youjian looked at the expressions of the two carefully, understood that his goal had been achieved, and was ready to change the topic: "Ni Qing." ”

"The minister is here."

"Do you know how many imperial ...... I have raised?"

"Long live ......" Tian Shouxin suddenly came in and interrupted the conversation between the monarch and the minister.

Zhu Youjian saw him like this, and knew that there must be something important, otherwise he would not dare to kill Tian Shouxin so unruly.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youjian said sharply.

Seeing Chongzhen's gloomy face, Tian Shouxin hurriedly said: "There are more than 20 people outside the city, claiming to be lieutenants of Fengguo, saying that most of the imperial relatives of Shanxi have been slaughtered, and there is not one in a hundred, and now they are homeless. I hope the emperor will protect you. ”

Lieutenant Fengguo was the lowest title of the Ming Dynasty royal family and the farthest royal family. Because the ancestral system stipulates that they cannot make a living on their own, they can only take the imperial court, so most of them are poor.

However, because of poverty, some lucky people have survived in this national crisis.

"Oh? I was about to say this, but they came.

Go and let them bring their families into the city tomorrow morning, and distribute them houses and fields according to their population, as the rest of the people, and henceforth be self-reliant. ”

Ni Yuanlu heard this, and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, don't ......"

When Zhu Youjian saw it, he was very displeased, "Get up, I know you want to say, this is against the ancestral system, isn't it?" ”

Ni Yuanlu nodded, but did not get up.

"If Taizu knew that in three hundred years, the imperial court would raise a million descendants, he would definitely revise the ancestral system!" Zhu Youjian said loudly.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Gao Di hurriedly shouted.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of hunger since he was a child, for fear that his children and grandchildren would not be able to eat, so he set the rule that the court would pay to support the emperor.

In addition, they were not allowed to work, and they could enjoy their happiness in peace, but it backfired.

With the increasing number of imperial relatives, there is a situation where the whole country is one year old and cannot pay for the clan year, and the generals and lieutenants of the distant clan cannot get the money, and there are cases of starvation from time to time.

There are even royal relatives who deliberately commit crimes and are imprisoned to continue their lives.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial family became a huge burden on the imperial court's finances, which was also one of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"There are so many years of income in the imperial court, but the royal family will only increase, and it has long been unable to support it. Could it be that I just hold on to the ancestral system and watch the country disappear? Holding the ancestral system to watch the royal family starve to death? Zhu Youjian's voice was hurried, and he sounded very resentful.

Of course, Ni Yuanlu knows this burden, but under the big hat of the ancestral system, he habitually has to oppose it.

Listening to Chongzhen's reprimand, he also turned a corner, the lesser of two evils, the heavier of the two benefits, the Beijing division was broken, if the emperor didn't rise up, the Ming Dynasty would have died, what kind of ancestral system would it matter.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied when he saw Ni Yuanlu shut up with interest, and said loudly: "From today on, not only Shanxi, but also the whole country, the prince below the county king is allowed to make a living on his own, and the imperial court will no longer give him money.

Ni Qing, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, from today onwards, he would definitely be abused by millions of emperors.

But thinking of the remaining cabinet seat, he was ruthless and kowtowed.

After dispersing the military discussion, Gao Di hurriedly arranged for the Jinyi Guard and the scout to go south.

Tell them to find out the military situation report as soon as possible.

He saw that Chongzhen knew everything about his private affairs, and he was worried that the captured soldiers in Shanxi were really as empty as Chongzhen said.

If the army misses the plane because of his own advice, then his sin will be great.

After arranging the task, Gao Di went back to the room and lay down, thinking about it and couldn't sleep: "The people around me are cronies for many years, who will be the secret agent?" If I let me know which bastard defected to Dongchang, I will definitely crush him! ”
