Chapter 4 Shousuke's corpse is also valuable and cannot be wasted
4
The 100,000 taels and three words of the Son of Heaven have not yet been exported.
Cold, Fang Yuegong didn't know where to come from, and stopped in front of Wei Zaode, Fang Yuegong was the oldest in the court, his beard was white, and he was trembling all over at the moment, but he forced himself to say: "Your Majesty thinks twice, don't want it, don't ...... it."
Fang Yuegong didn't know what to say later, Mo wanted to kill the official department again?
No, not crippled.
No, no, you can't fight at all!
The official department is known as the heavenly official, in short, no matter what, you can't beat people anymore!
That's not a good idea.
"Don't ...... Don't ......".
Lao Fang decided to bypass this topic, "Minister, the minister has just thought about it, there are still some ancestral fields in the family, which were originally intended to be used as the fathers and daughters of the clan, but now I think about it, if the country is broken, how can it be home?" Simply pawned and sold, should, should be able to get 8,000 silver, if it is not enough, ministers, ministers, and then go to relatives and friends in the clan to find a way...... I hope that Your Majesty will calm your anger, yes, yes...... Your Majesty is angry......"
Fang Yuegong was really anxious.
He is a loyal minister, and he is not used to Chen Wei's party.
He is loyal to the old Zhu family, and he is also loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Or in Fang Yuegong's heart, everything has to be done according to the rules, and the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he must be loyal to him.
In the same way, the minister is the emperor's right-hand man, and he should be polite.
If a minister makes a mistake, he can be punished, and he must follow the rules, whether it is the court staff, or the dismissal of officials, or even the killing of the head, there must be a law to follow.
This is the dignity of the great powers of the Celestial Empire, otherwise the emperor will kill important ministers when he is unhappy, what is the difference between this and a bandit den?
Today's situation in the court can be called the nightmare of Fang someone's life.
Fang Yuegong's whole body was shaking, he usually likes to watch "Water Margin", whenever he sees the leopard head fighting the white-clothed Xiushi, he always has to skip it, just because he thinks it is not in accordance with the rules.
Well, now that I think about it, Shuibo Liangshan is a place where robbers fall into the grass, and it is normal for them to fight.
Bandits, not speaking of the way of saints is the right way.
Fang Yuegong and Wei Dezao didn't deal with each other, but he didn't want to see the official Shangshu being beaten to death with a punch, you must know that Wei Zaode was five years older than Chen Yan...... Or even more can't help fighting
It's just that he was working hard, but he was stretched out by the Son of Heaven and pulled to the side as if pulling a curtain: "You get out of the way......"
"150,000 taels, minister, although the minister's family is poor, but the minister's father-in-law's family has been in business for many years, and the family is very wealthy...... Only hate, once upon a time, once upon a time there was no chance to ......"
Fang Yuegong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but then he had a great hatred in his heart, and he could take out 150,000 taels casually...... How much is this guy usually greedy?
Or just punch it to death!
Suddenly, the Son of Heaven covered his nose, Fang Yuegong also smelled a commotion, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Wei Shangshu's feet were wet for a long time......
Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Passing the decree, Wei Zaode, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is loyal to the country, diligent and self-denying, and takes over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the first assistant of the cabinet......"
This is a stick to give a date.
Wei Zaode took the lead in urinating, so of course he had to give some benefits to appease and appease.
Or this problem, this world belongs to the emperor, the emperor does not have three heads and six arms, and the governance of the government still depends on the huge civil and official group.
Lu Zhishen also knew that if these things in the DPRK and China were killed with one punch today, they would definitely be wronged......
But if it's one by one, the fish that slip through the net is big.
It is necessary to rectify the rule of officials and promote new people, but ......
The most important thing at the moment is to raise money, and then repel Li Zicheng's rebel army, and stabilize the market first.
"Lord Wei, don't you want to thank Lord Longen?" Wang Chengen reminded with a sharp voice on the side.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your grace." As he spoke, he ignored the "stagnant water" on the ground that was still slightly steaming, and knelt down and kowtowed.
It frightened the emperor so much that he jumped back more than a foot away.
Lu Zhishen has always liked to be clean, and seeing Wei Zaode's head knocked into the "stagnant water" will definitely cause water stains to splash......
Who the fuck can stand this!
Suddenly evil was born to the side of the guts, this bird is so unclean, just kill it together!
……
Wei Zaode kowtowed, his heart was shocked beyond words, the ghost door was closed and walked aside, the emperor Mingsheng secretly descended, and let him take Chen Yan's errand - the Ministry of Rites and the first assistant of the cabinet.
The Ministry of Rites is the first of the six departments, the most noble, not to mention the responsibility of the first assistant.
But the most important of the six departments is the ministry of officials.
Since ancient times, there have been officials in the Ministry of Officials who say bluntly that in charge of the promotions and punishments of officials all over the world, whether they want to promote their own people or suppress political enemies, it is a piece of cake in the Ministry of Officials, and it is absolutely fair and reasonable on the surface, so that the Son of Heaven can't find fault.
Wei Zaode relied on this to draw with Chen Yan, and finally won the recognition of the other party and became an ally.
Now the emperor transferred him from the ministry with a simple sentence.
In normal times, he can also mobilize his henchmen to stir up trouble and stop it.
Right now......
I'm afraid that my father and son won't dare to go out......
……
Under the joint leadership of the two cabinet ministers and assistants, the Huangji Hall is like a large temple with lush incense.
The civil and military generals have become devout monks who worship the Buddha, kowtow respectfully, and each of them took the initiative to serve a huge amount of silver taels.
Wang Chengen was also very busy.
He bears the title of eunuch of Bingbi, and he deserves his name at this time.
Pinching the brush like a monk in charge of registering the book of the temple in the temple, he also called his name while writing: "Chen Qiong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, will serve 50,000 taels of silver and 200 taels of gold, and pay them all in three days...... The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Dezheng, is serving 65,000 taels of silver, and Liaozhu is a bucket...... Pay in 2 days"
This seems a bit unserious, but it is the order of the Son of Heaven.
Wang Chengen's hands were sour when he wrote, but there were more and more smiles on his face.
According to the original idea, the ministers each reported the number, and then they retreated from the court, and each went home to carry the silver.
The important ministers are all decent people, and they are difficult to chase after each word, and they will give as much as they say, and they will not break their promises.
However, Lu Zhishen couldn't trust these guys at all, and ordered Wang Chengen to write a record.
After the registration was completed, Lu Zhishen snatched the account book and laughed cruelly: "If the time comes, it will be ...... I didn't see any silver in this Imperial Palace, so I couldn't say anything, so I had to go and get it myself......"
In an uproar, he knelt down below: "Don't dare to bother the emperor's ......"
After Zhu Youzhen listened, he didn't say much and left.
Wang Chengen shouted at the top of his voice: "Retreat ......"
The ministers walked to the door in twos and threes, everyone was depressed, and today's excitement was indeed a bit big.
And the bleeding is also a bit too much......
Of course, they are not short of this bit of silver, but after all, it is tens of thousands of silver, and it takes several years to accumulate it, but what should they do?
Although civil officials are not afraid of death, they can also score how to die.
It's okay to talk about your heart and mind on weekdays, and report to the king when you die......
If you die, you can keep the inheritance of the family property, so if you die, you will die......
It's inexplicable to settle the account with one punch.
The emperor or the bandits?
Even if Li broke into the city, it wouldn't be like this, right?
Even the Kaneno people couldn't do this kind of thing after the Kanewai.
……
Wei Zaode was the first to walk to the door, but he stopped, not because he wanted to stay in this Hades Hall for a while, but because he couldn't take a step.
Outside the threshold was the bright sun, and he couldn't wait to go to the sun immediately, to get rid of bad luck, so that he could feel that the ghost door was closed and walked around, and he finally returned to the world.
Can......
There was a ...... between Wei Zaode and the sun that drove away evil spirits Insurmountable obstacles.
Chen Yan is sideways.
The jade body is a model description of the fragrance in the hearts of the literati, but the jade has changed into a corpse, so it is ......
The upper body is outside the threshold, and the two legs are in the threshold, stuck in the exit.
If Wei Zaode wants to go out, he must step past Chen Ge Lao.
This......
It's really mad.
What's more, Chen Yan didn't blink his eyes, and a pair of mouse eyes were still staring at the sky!
Just half an hour ago, the two of them were still running on a gear to be the son of heaven, and now they are separated by yin and yang, and they almost accompanied Chen Ge on the road together.
Now it's the slaughter of Wei Shangshu...... Oh, no, Wei Shoufu didn't dare to take this step across life and death.
Wei Zaode stood at the door frowning and coughing, and looked at Wang Chengen.
The functions of the prince are somewhat similar to those of the director of the Central Office in later generations, who is fully responsible for the internal affairs of the imperial court, which is naturally his job.
Wang Chengen was also uncomfortable looking at the dead ghost Chen, he was in charge of the East Factory, his hands were stained with blood, and he had seen many dead strange-shaped corpses.
It was the first time to deal with Chen Gelao's situation.
To the low is the prince and the father-in-law, and he is not panicked in the face of chaos.
beckoned to call two little eunuchs and asked them to quickly move the more than 100 catties away, as for whether to return it to the Chen family or feed the dogs, it has to wait for the emperor's will.
"Wang Chengen," Emperor Chongzhen suddenly shouted
"The Slave is Here"
"Passing the decree, it will be said that Chen Yan became an old man to seek the country, and he exhausted his efforts to raise silver taels in the imperial court, and died."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was like words.
Wei Zaode thought for a while, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Ge Lao's nickname ......"
"Hmm...... Don't be in a hurry for this, Wei Zaode, you go to Chen's house and say it, let them take out 200,000 taels of silver, then return the body, and send a good name, if not, chop it up and throw it out to feed the dogs......"
"This ......" Wei Zaode's heart almost stopped, and his heart said, Emperor, Emperor, you are too dark, since ancient times, only the bitter lord carried the corpse and asked for a price, why did you come here and start to pinch the corpse and slander the bitter master of your own family?
The literati doctor should be decent, Chen performance from the traditional official house, after death must enter the ancestral tomb, the court also has to spend silver to set up a memorial arch, this is called the merit of the consummation, bless the poetry and books to pass on the family.
If you follow the last evil accusation such as "ugly", it is really a shame for the ancestors......
As for feeding the corpse to the dog, on the contrary, it is a trifle.
This hand really took the Chen family to death......
Wei Zaode knew that he had fallen back on a vicious errand, and the Chen family should be able to come up with 200,000 yuan of silver to ransom the corpse, and the money would go to the emperor, but the vicious reputation of blackmailing the dead must have fallen on him Wei someone......
The Chen family can't scold the emperor, can't they scold you as a traitor to Wei......
He hesitated whether to quit this errand, and when he looked up, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen had arrived at some point, and he was clenching his fists.
Suddenly his mind was clear, and his head fell to the ground: "After the minister retreated from the court, he went to the Chen Mansion immediately, Chen Ge Lao has always been loyal to the country, and he stretched out three fingers before he died, and everyone couldn't understand his meaning, but the lower officials understood that he wanted to serve the court with 300,000 taels of silver!" ”
"Ha" The emperor laughed, his fist turned into a slap, and gently landed on Wei Zaode's shoulder, "I can do things!" ”
Other civil and military officials are wiping their sweat and quietly keeping a distance from Wei Shangshu, this is a ruthless person!
No, it's not a fucking human!
Before Chen Yan's body was cold, he sold the person completely......
300,000 taels of silver......
Obediently, Chen Ge has worked for nothing in this life......
Seeing that the emperor's minister had finished speaking, the two little eunuchs crept to the door to carry the corpse.
"Don't move!"
The Emperor spoke again.
