Cabinet Chamber.

The four elders finally digested the shocking information of "Coal Mountain Enlightenment".

Whether they were willing or not, the news of Coal Mountain Enlightenment would soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and even throughout the surrounding vassal states, and as the Holy Lord achieved more and more results on the battlefield, the Enlightenment statement would become more and more convincing.

For Daming, this is of course a good thing.

But for their cabinet ministers, it's really not a good thing.

Imperial power and relative power have been in conflict since ancient times, one disappears and the other rises, and the two are like seesaws.

After the Orthodox Dynasty, the Xiangquan finally overpowered the imperial power, could it be that after the Chongzhen Dynasty, the imperial power would be put on the throne? This is unacceptable to them, the auxiliaries.

But this cannot be said openly, and the small circle can still say it.

"Can it be blocked?" Gao Hongtu's first reaction was to block the news.

"It's too late." Zhang Youyu sighed, "Right now, this news has completely spread among the students of Guozijian and the scholars of King Fengzhaoqin. ”

Xie Xuelong asked, "Why don't you write an article to refute it?" ”

"How to refute?" Shi Kefa frowned and said, "What will the Holy One think?" ”

Xie Xuelong was dumbfounded, yes, if someone really wrote an article to refute the theory of enlightenment in the coal mountain, what would the saint think? Do you scholars be allowed to enlighten in the dragon field, but not in the coal mountain?

In the end, it was Shi Kefa who said, "I'll wait and see." ”

"Yes, let's see." Gao Hongtu also reacted, "Yang Ming Gong also first had the three immortals of virtue, meritorious service, and speech, and achieved the saint position, and then he had the saying of enlightenment in the dragon field." ”

The implication of Gao Hongtu's words is that enlightenment is not just talking, but having actual merits.

If Chongzhen didn't have enough brilliant martial arts, Coal Mountain Enlightenment would be just a joke, and after he controlled Bintian, the historian's pen would never admit it.

Speaking of this, Gao Hongtu immediately asked Zhang Youyu again: "Jinghan, the saint invited businessmen from all over the world to a banquet in Meixianglou last night, how much money was raised?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Youyu shook his hand.

"Didn't raise 10,000 taels?" Jiang said Guangdao.

"What?" Xie Xuelong said angrily, "These businessmen are really stingy. ”

"No, that's not what Xia Guan meant." Zhang Youyu hurriedly said, "Xia Guan wants to say that the saint did not raise money in Meixiang Mansion last night, but just announced a news." ”

"Message?" Shi Kefa and the other four were stunned when they heard this.

Seriously, the four of them felt a little unable to keep up with Chongzhen's train of thought.

Since the great changes in Coal Mountain, Chongzhen's actions have always been unexpected.

So, the four of them couldn't stop secretly thinking, is it because of the coal mountain's repentance?

Deceiving! Gao Hongtu shook his head to expel this thought from his mind, and asked Zhang Youyu again: "What news?" ”

Zhang Youyu told the truth about what happened on Mei Xianglou last night, and after listening to it, the four pavilion elders fell into a long silence, and they had to digest this matter again.

The saint actually issued debts? Again, this was something they never expected.

Gao Hongtu suddenly wanted to open Chongzhen's brain and take a good look.

Holy Lord, what is hidden in your head?

……

Kang Million also fell into a long period of thinking.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Kang Million still couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask: "Girl, what you said is clearer." ”

"Daddy, the truth is actually not difficult to understand, you just didn't think of it." The girl patiently explained, "Let's make a simple calculation first, suppose that the Holy Lord issued bonds four times in one year, each time 20 million, a total of 80 million. ”

"Then at the end of the second year, the saint will have to pay a total of 24 million in principal and interest, and the remaining 56 million."

"Then at the end of the fourth year, the Holy Lord needs to pay another 40 million in principal and interest, and there are only 16 million left."

"Then at the end of the sixth year, the saint still needs to pay 60 million in principal and interest, and at this time there is already a deficit of 44 million, and the saint can only use the pledged official land to offset it."

"There has to be a premise for the above calculations."

"That is, the money from the issuance of bonds has not been spent."

"But how could the Holy One not spend it? That's a lot of money. ”

"So, you don't have to wait until the sixth year, there will be a crisis in the fourth year!"

"When the time comes, once a run is formed, the merchants will find that there are not so many pledged official fields, and then the reputation of the saint will be completely ruined, and the return of taxes and silver like Yangzhou will be useless, and the issuance of bonds will no longer be sustainable."

"No, no, no, no." Kang Wanwan said, "Girl, you miscalculated, you missed the same calculation, in the second, third, and fourth years, you can still issue debts, so the saint will still have enough silver to repay the principal and interest." ”

"Daddy, it's not like that." The girl shook her head, "Although what you said is right, it can only delay the arrival of the crisis, but it cannot prevent the occurrence of the crisis. ”

"Nonsense, how can the deep meaning of the saint be easily guessed by your little girl."

Kang Million stood up decisively this time, and then asked: "You just need to tell Daddy, can the bonds be sold?" ”

The girl said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as long as the saint can return taxes and silver in Nanjing and Yangzhou, this issue of bonds will definitely be sold, after all, such a high interest, the entire Jiangnan eight provinces and one state, I am afraid that no gentleman and businessman can refuse it." ”

……

What Chongzhen has to do this time is not only to return the tax silver, but also to sacrifice the captive.

The return of taxes and silver is only to rebuild public credibility, but to use the official land north of the Yellow River as an anchor to issue bonds, it is not enough to have credibility, but also to provide strong confidence to the gentry and businessmen.

If the gentry are not given confidence, and the gentry of Jiangnan are not convinced that the imperial court has the ability to recover the Jingshi, then the act of issuing bonds will be a one-shot deal, and it will be impossible to sustain the sale of four million mu of official land in Xuzhou.

Therefore, it is necessary to make the Jiangnan gentry believe that the imperial court has the ability to attack Youyan in the north and recover the Jingshi.

At noon the next day, that is, on the seventeenth day of the seventh month of Chongzhen, more than 1,000 Jiannu prisoners escorted by Gong Yonggu, Liu Wenbing and other four nobles, as well as Xu Dingguo and several other military generals, finally arrived.

In order to sacrifice His Majesty this time, Chongzhen also made a lot of preparations.

Among them was the selection of 3,000 border troops from Xia Zhen to escort the captives south.

In order to build up the momentum, Chongzhen invested a lot of money on the three thousand border troops.

Each person has a tall horse, a set of straight armor, a bowl and stomach tassel gun, and each person wears a large bow captured from Jiannu on his waist, plus a waist knife, and a long knife, which is simply majestic!

One by one, it's like coming out of a New Year's painting, and they can be the door god directly!

Seeing such a mighty Ming Xiongshi coming, the people of Nanjing, who were crowded outside the Jinchuan Gate and at the head of the city to watch the ceremony, suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

The sound was so loud that it could pierce a person's eardrum.

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and other officials, as well as Wei Duke Xu Hongji, Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi and other nobles are also in turmoil, how long has Nanjing City not held such a grand ceremony?

In the cheers of the officials and gentry and the people, a team of Yiding came out of the Jinchuan Gate.

The first one is Chongzhen, and Chongzhen put on that armor stomach again today.

Since crossing over to this world, Chongzhen has not worn the emperor's crown dress once, and it is this armor stomach on major occasions.

Chongzhen wore a golden mountain armor and a golden scarf, like a majestic god of war riding a horse slowly, and the Nanjing gentry and people crowded inside and outside the Jinchuan Gate once again thundered with joy.

It's just that this time the people are cheering for their emperor.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "The people's voices are about to burst.

Then, a scene that surprised the officials and nobles present appeared.

The cheers of the people of Nanjing had just started, and the 3,000 border troops who were slowly marching on the opposite side, and the border troops who had just been as immobile as a mountain, suddenly also cheered in a carried away.

"Hooray! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

The soldiers of the 3,000 border army cheered while desperately slapping the armor on their bodies with their long knives or waist knives, making as loud noise as possible to strengthen their voices.

That huge momentum, that kind of murderous aura, simply ran through the sky.

Shi Kefa couldn't help but glance at Gao Hongtu, and they both saw a touch of melancholy in each other's eyes.

I really didn't expect that after only a few months of Shengshang's garrison, he would have such prestige in the hearts of the border soldiers! Could it be that I am a Ming Dynasty, and I really want to produce another Chongzhen Emperor?

In a cheer, Chongzhen rode his horse and slowly walked to the front of the border soldiers.

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor who was close at a moment's notice, Yang Ponu and the other border troops were almost crazy.

Chongzhen slowly raised his right hand, and the cheers of the soldiers of the 3,000 border army stopped abruptly, only the people of Nanjing in the distance were still cheering hysterically: Long live.

Chongzhen slowly turned his horse's head, facing Nanjing, facing Shi Kefa, Xu Hongji and other officials and nobles in Nanjing, as well as facing hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Nanjing, behind Chongzhen, there were 3,000 border troops slowly spreading towards the two wings, and more than 1,000 Jiannu prisoners of war tied together with ropes.

It's an incredible backdrop painting.

A Portuguese missionary who had just arrived in Nanjing hurriedly unloaded his luggage and set up his easel.

With just a few brushstrokes, the outline of the picture under the prisoner is already on the paper.

Besides, outside the Jinchuan Gate, Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ran forward with an edict and came to the front of the Jiannu prisoners of war lined up in a row and loudly publicized it, and the prisoner sacrifice ceremony entered the final link, which was also the climax of the ceremony.

At the end of the captive sacrifice ceremony, the emperor decided life and death: one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the border army had already dismounted and stood behind the Jiannu prisoners of war.

The sleek waist knife was also unsheathed, and the sharp blade was already hanging over the heads of the prisoners of war.

"Khooth!" With the sound of metal grinding, Chongzhen slowly drew the sword at his waist.

"The dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be blasphemed, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are strong! Kill! As Chongzhen spit out a killing word, more than a thousand waist knives were cut off in an instant, and more than a thousand heads rolled to the ground at the same time.

The people of Nanjing are really crazy now, long live the Ming Dynasty!
