Thousands of miles away in the Forbidden City, Chongzhen's hands and feet floated, seemed to be very anxious, he wanted to end the court meeting quickly, lest it be a complication, absentmindedly looked at the following two eyes, he didn't expect that he casually wandered around two eyes, someone went out of the class to die, he saw an old minister over sixty years old, staggered out of the class, and then did not feel pain, so he "coo" prostrate on the ground, and played in a trembling voice: "Weichen Wang Yuanyi, the court class lost its honor, and the crime deserved to die!" By His Majesty's grace, without severe punishment, it is difficult for Weichen to repay his life and death, and I respectfully thank the emperor! ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his sleeves impatiently, and Wang Yuanyi, who had lost his honor in front of the palace, hurriedly got up and retreated, and he shouted with tears and trembling voices: "Long live! Long live!

......

The lively and lively court meeting lifted off the surface of the glamour layer by layer, and then it was the usual yamen officials such as the five mansions and the six ministries kneeling to perform routine business, Chongzhen was a little tired, and he basically didn't care much about these red tapes.

He was about to announce the punishment of Xue Guoguan to his ministers, when he suddenly heard a noisy human voice faintly coming from a distance, which was an extremely rare phenomenon near Chengtianmen. Chongzhen guessed that it must be the "ignorant and foolish people" from Najifu and Shandong who refused to leave, he couldn't help frowning, and thought angrily in his heart: "They dare to resist the decree, and they still dare to stay in Jingshi!" But he did not forget to ask his subjects to see him as the king of Yao and Shun, so he forcibly held back the anger in his heart and called the Hubu Shangshu and Chuanlang to the front.

With a compassionate look, the young emperor said slowly: "I have always loved the people like a child. In some states and counties, where the disaster is too serious, you should consider the situation and whether the money and food should be reduced or reduced, and discuss in detail......"

With a sudden south wind, it not only brought the breath of spring to the imperial capital, but also transmitted the faint voices of people outside the East Chang'an Gate. Chongzhen couldn't help but ask: "Are the voices of people outside the book the people?"

Kneeling on the ground, Li Shiwen, raised his head and said, "It is the people of Shandong and Jifu, who are suffering from the disaster...... In addition, the levy did not stop, and he came to the capital to appeal to Heavenly Grace to exempt him from the levy, and asked the imperial court to provide relief quickly. ”

Chongzhen furrowed his brows again, was silent for a moment, and said to a eunuch standing beside him: "Go and pass on the holy decree orally: I already know what the people have played, and I know very well the suffering of the people, and I will never allow the magistrates to be sent again." As for the matter of relief, it has been decreed that each department and yamen should take care of it as soon as possible, and not delay, so that the people should return to their hometowns as soon as possible, and they are not allowed to stay in Beijing, so as to breed trouble, cause interference with the law and discipline, and live up to the grace of the heavens and the earth!"

After the eunuch on the side walked away quickly, he felt as if his strength had been drained all of a sudden, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Although Zhu Youzhen was a little impetuous, he still called the Wufu, Jiuqing, Branch, and Daoist officials to the front.

Suddenly, the courtiers who were called fell to their knees outside the small railing in front of the imperial case, and these people fell to the ground without even coughing softly. In today's entire early dynasty, Chongzhen didn't even have a smile, his face was extremely cold at the moment, his heart was full of anger, and his eyebrows were also murderous. The civil and military officials all knew that he was moody, and they all wanted to bury their heads in the ground, and they waited for the unforeseen situation with fear.

Some timid courtiers couldn't help but tremble lightly on their calves, the sky was very caring for Chongzhen's mood, the dark clouds were thicker and lower than the one before dawn, threatening the roof of Wufenglou, and the sky rolled over the dull thunder from time to time, but the Forbidden City was silent.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, and then glanced at the ministers who were prostrate on the ground, and then said: "I asked you to meet how Xue Guoguan should be disposed of. Xue Guoguan was the first assistant, and he could not assist me in revitalizing the government, managing yin and yang, and promoting the prosperity of the government, but instead engaged in personal bribery, what could he say! He should have been questioned and handed over to the three law divisions to discuss the crime strictly; he remembered that his other evil deeds were not obvious, so he was cut off from his status and was not allowed to stay in Beijing. Do not follow his example!"

The three law divisions are the general name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, and the matter of the first assistant Xue Guoguan is not enough to be interrogated by the three law divisions, it is nothing more than being forced by Chongzhen to be anxious, and when he was raising money from the emperor's relatives, he echoed a sentence, and now Chongzhen has lost his wife and broken his army, and he has also entered his own face, and he has waited for Li Guorui's life.

After listening to Chongzhen's disposition of the first assistant Xue Guoguan, all the civil and military officers kowtowed heavily together to thank him and then got up, they were all glad that they were still able to keep silent under the coercion of the emperor, so they had the life to return to the court; some courtiers originally had a lot of important state affairs to show to Chongzhen in person, because they saw that the emperor was so angry, they closed their mouths and did not make a sound.

The Qianqing Palace was cold for a while, Chongzhen felt that his coercion was very effective, and was about to ask the eunuch to announce his retirement from the court, when suddenly, the voices of people in the distance became even more noisy, mixed with crying and crying for help.

This made Chongzhen very angry, he glared at the slender phoenix eyes, and said, "Where is the Jinyi Guard?"

Wu Mengming, the envoy of the Jinyi guard, heard the emperor's greeting, and immediately walked out of the martial arts class and knelt in front of Jintai.

Chongzhen ignored Wu Mengming, who was kneeling on the ground. But first sighed to the ministers: "Since I ascended to the pole, I have respected the heavens and ancestors, been diligent in government and loved the people, and always took the hearts of Yao and Shun as my heart, so that benevolence and virtue were served in the four seas. I don't want the people to only look at the suffering in front of them, but they can't think about the eternal country......

Chongzhen, who was pretending to be constipated, bit his little silver teeth, and then turned to Wu Mengming and said, "You go and take a look, so that you can tell the people not to make noise! If you still dare to disobey, take it all!"

Those who made the Ming Emperor angry more than 1,000 fathers and ordinary people, from the unknown sky in the wind in the Shuque, kneeling to plead with heaven, they knelt through the right gate of Chang'an, and knelt down at the left gate of Chang'an, they never got the mercy of a minister at all, no one accepted their bloody notebook, let alone someone sent it to the emperor.

These people, who hoped to see the face of the sky, can now only see the Waijinshui Bridge and the noble Huabiao in front of the bridge, and they can't even see the Chengtianmen completely.

When they went to court, these people heard the faint sound of the silent whip three times, and then everything fell silent, and they all knelt on the cold ground, and they also bowed down to the Forbidden City, wishing the emperor Jin'an!
