Chapter 20: The Great Pilgrimage Meeting (1)
The young Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen scolded secretly in his heart, you old immortal Wang Chengen accompanied Cao Huachun, who had a bad brain, and coaxed blindly, are you showing your talents to me, do you really know that the yellow paper refers to the emperor's edict, and the white paper refers to the documents and notices of the local officials.
Chongzhen decided to pretend to be a dead dog and never ask any more, and he waved his hand to drive Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, who were ignorant of current affairs, out of the palace.
Although he knew that what the people had said was true, the emperor was unwilling to fall and thought: How can we be exempted from levy at present? The treasury is like a wash, how can we have money to help? Could it be that you can't be considerate and sympathetic to my difficulties, endure a few days, starve for a few months, and wait for a few years when the court has leveled the 'one tiger' and gained foreign wealth, I will not forget you, and I will definitely send high-ranking lieutenants to ride?" A tiger will go to you to set up a monument to commend you for your loyalty to the palace, and when the time comes, you will have to chase the seal, and if you want the archway, you will give me a dream, and I will let people donate to you to build a super luxurious ......
Li Chixin, who was far away in the mountains of western Henan, bored and caught a little strong from his cheap son, "Open your mouth!" Before the words fell, Li Laiheng, a cheap son, opened his mouth obediently, waiting for his old son to feed......
In the past half a month, he has been abnormal, but he has fed him good things, of course, Ma Yingyou is not counted. In the past, the Tiger Camp scourged the pigs in the village, generally eating meat and burying the corpses, and the pig's internal organs were not even eaten by the dogs; however, since Mr. Li came to Daming, boiling and burning suddenly became a delicacy that the soldiers of the Tiger Camp never got tired of eating, and the large intestine, small intestine, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys have become people's meals in seven or eight out of ten.
Li Laiheng obediently opened his bright red mouth and waited to be fed, and at this time, an annoying wind swept over the land of Funiu Mountain, "......Ahh
Looking at the cheap son's bitter face, Li Chixin felt sad for a while, could this sudden sneeze be the migrant worker brother who had received his favor in that life, missing himself in the other world? Thinking of the word "next world", he felt unlikely, he had never existed, except for the year-end salary season, otherwise this group of men would not think of themselves!
Emperor Chongzhen proudly thought about the fact that he had sent a lieutenant official to ride "a tiger" to set up a memorial arch, and at the same time he lifted the Zhu pen; he secretly cursed for a while, hesitated for a while, and criticized this folding book by Ji Fu and Shandong Shimin: Reading every performance of the people, I am very compassionate. The household and the military yamen know how to exempt and how to give relief, and properly discuss the news. The people should not stay in Beijing to avoid causing trouble and causing law and order. Chin this!
Chongzhen is bent on letting the people get out of here, my throne comes from the emperor's brother, but it is not your choice, you have no right to decide, now eat me and drink mine, you can't even starve to death to the full name, I want you to do something, even a dead dog can eat meat and drink soup, you are dead...... Anyway, I am more worry-free, the court is more worry-free, the officials are more worry-free, and of course the scholars and doctors have to lose their conscience like me.
The determination has been made, Emperor Chongzhen showed his young man's ability, never dragging mud and water, waving a giant brush to write this imperial criticism, he purely wanted to perfunctory the people out of Beijing, so as not to make trouble for the people.
Sitting on the dragon chair depressed, he didn't even notice that he sprinkled the yellow bird's nest porridge on his crotch in his annoyance, Chongzhen felt that everything was not going well with his heart, and countless troubles surrounded him, in fact, he prayed every day, get rid of this ...... Unconsciously, he let out a long sigh. In order to gain a moment of peace in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen tried his best not to think about the problems of the devastating provinces anymore, and the young emperor felt that he should delete a batch of junk documents in his brain, so that he could clean up a large part of his memory.
The young emperor didn't expect that he would almost become a famous songwriter, so he hesitated a little and picked up a copy of the music that Wu Aheng had urgently submitted from Shanhaiguan on the imperial case.
Every time Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, came to the recital, he either asked for a salary or a soldier, so that he did not want to see it, but he could not help but look at it; now he read Yinhuang with a feeling of anxiety, and knew that it was specifically to ask for the lifting of the ban on eating smoking, and he did not raise troops. This Wu Longhui seems to be a cadre who can be saved, and judging from the current strength of only doing things without raising his head, and only plowing the land and not eating grass, we can conclude that Wu Aheng will definitely bring more and greater surprises to himself in the future.
Putting aside his most troublesome matter of begging for money, Chongzhen came to the spirit again, and he opened the song with confidence to take a closer look, it turned out that half a year ago, he was still full of confidence that the pronunciation of "smoke" and "yan" was the same, and the officers and soldiers who came up from Wu Longhui "ate tobacco" together sounded like "eating swallows." Military life is so beautiful, you still have the face to beg for money, and you want wages so that you can buy luxury goods? That is to prevent you from starving to death! In addition, "eat swallows" The homonym of these two words was very unlucky for him to sit in Beijing, so Chongzhen ordered a ban on eating tobacco on a whim, and all those who ate tobacco and planted tobacco were killed.
However, tobacco was introduced from Luzon to Fujian and Guangzhou, and tobacco has been cultivated in the coastal areas for more than 80 years, and Qi Jiguang's troops, who knew how to eat dry rice and did not know what to do, brought this hobby to the inside and outside of the Great Wall, and now it has a history of 70 years, so his edict not only did not work, but caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers stationed in Liaodong.
Now Wu Aheng Shangshu said that "Liaodong soldiers, love this as if they are fate", because the Liaodong soldiers have no food, no money, no entertainment and are not willing to surrender, the only psychedelic drug is to eat tobacco a way, specially ask Emperor Chongzhen to lift the smoking ban, still allow the people of Beizhili and Shandong to plant tobacco, and allow merchants to traffic from Zhejiang and Fujian.
Chongzhen put down the letter and lamented in his heart: "Eat cigarettes, eat cigarettes! Could anyone really come to eat Yanjing? Alas, you can't help it, and you can't help but be very unlucky! Won't you just pee and eat or drink?"
For a while, Emperor Chongzhen had the urge to rush up and sew the mouth of every Liaodong soldier, it was too annoying!
......
Two days later, in the early morning, before the sun shone into the Forbidden City, the first drum sound came from Wufeng Tower.
Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the Duanmen one after another, and the executives of the Ming Dynasty all went to the court room to take shelter, eat tea, chat and wait, and the middle-level people stood in the empty field to drink the wind, and then drank the wind in their stomachs, and then some people whispered in the north wind, discussing the public opinion uproar caused by the new salary, and the people were more separated from the imperial court; some were chatting about the war situation in Huguang and Sichuan, and some were talking about the recent movements in Manchuria.
