Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was shocked, lest they would be harmed, and at the same time, they also pinched a cold sweat for Huang Daozhou.

The sky above the Forbidden City was rolling with the dull thunder of early spring, and the female finch of thunder and lightning from western Henan occupied the dove's nest, but dutifully lightning and thunder. Since Huang Daozhou wanted to be a direct minister, he had already planned for the worst outcome when he was in the sky before yesterday, so now he was just thinking about it with all his heart, this is the time for him to die as a loyal minister, and he has no worries about life and death in his heart.

This young man of the Hanlin Academy, who was the same age as Yang Sichang, looked at Emperor Chongzhen stubbornly, and said in his heart, "Come on, beat me!" The mouth generously replied: "The minister has read the books of sages since he was a child, examined the reasons for the rise and fall of the chaos in the past dynasties, and knows today's political affairs well, mainly to be strict and concentrated. If you are strict about the complexity of the work, everyone will be in a tight grip, and the righteousness will be lost; if you accumulate heavy things, the small people's livelihood will be desperate, which is tantamount to driving away fish for the abyss and finches for the congregation; today, the minister still sees that the people of Shandong and Jifu are writing books, and he will lose all the people's hearts one day, and there will be no more people who are willing to come to the book! Yang Sichang's method of increasing the levy and training is to make the imperial court drink to quench the thirst......

At this moment, his heart is really painful, and the courtiers also feel the same way, they understand the story of drying up the river and fishing and burning the forest and hunting, although they are on their own land, they can't wait to knock the bone and suck the marrow, but the words life and death are really shocking to them in a cold sweat, although the heart feels that it is not so much, but everyone is a person with a thin net worth, and it may not be a good thing to let the zodiac come out of this kind of prevention.

Chongzhen was already on the verge of going berserk, so he cut off Huang Daozhou's words and reprimanded him with a cold face: "I am making noise again! Because of the rampant thieves, the urgent situation in the east, and the difficulties at home and abroad, I had to do everything possible to raise money, but unexpectedly, I asked Qi Wan for help, and Qi Wan resisted the decree; I gave more money to the people, and the people complained." You are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and you are also reckless and low-mouthed about the levy and training, which is more than poison. Hmph, hum, what do you say! You have ruined your training salary so low, what good plan do you have to help me raise money and train the troops, so as to save the current crisis? If you don't raise salaries, don't train the troops, dismiss Yang Sichang, and send you to act as the superintendent? Can you quickly exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, Li Thief's uncle and nephew, and other thieves or sacrifice them to your majesty? Clear the trouble in the heart of the country? You ignore my worries and worries about state affairs day and night, and wantonly attack the ministers, where is the loyalty and patriotism of the monarch?"

The monarch and the ministers played the middle, and such heavy words were a bit excessive, but Chongzhen still said it, just to scare off the Zodiac Zhou and make the Zodiac Zhou and others scruples.

Huang Daozhou was determined to die, and he said without hesitation: "What the minister said today is precisely from a loyal and patriotic heart! The thieves have brought disaster to the country and caused labor and anxiety, so why don't the ministers want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins? As for the troubles of the Eastern Prisoners, the ministers are both worried and angry on weekdays, and they only hate Yang Sichang for secretly negotiating money with the Eastern Emperors, and they have completely forgotten the teachings of the "Ram" to respect the king, and the hearts of the people today are broken......

Chongzhen impatiently cut off Huang Daozhou's words, and asked heavily: "I ask you if you have any good ways to raise ~ salary ~ training ~ soldiers!"

Huang Daozhou said: "Most of the soldiers who have set up a quota of soldiers have been paid in the original amount, but now there are many soldiers who are in vain, and they are full of salaries! However, if we seek serious training, the soldiers will not be in vain, and they will be enough for their own use." ”

At this time, he didn't care about whether he offended people, but he hoped to be able to make the Ming Dynasty rest with the people with his will to die, Huang Daozhou kowtowed, and said in a low tone: "So verify the number of soldiers, forbid to be full, and you can pay enough soldiers." At present, it is not that the soldiers are training without pay, but that there is a lack of people who are innocent and honest and who do things conscientiously! If they get the right people and get the law, the profits will go to the public; if they don't have the right people, and if they lose the law, the profits will go to the private house!"

As soon as Huang Daozhou's words came out, the well-dressed beasts who just wanted to distinguish one or two for him also glared at him angrily, and everyone scolded secretly: "You are not dead, let us drink the blood of the soldiers, don't you lack virtue, don't you feel guilty in your heart?"

And Huang Daozhou, as the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the young Zhan of the Zhan Mansion, bluntly said that it was his own job to admonish, which was understandable, but today's situation is that he accidentally hit the deputy car in a hurry, and the cake in other people's bowls was affected. In desperation, he simply turned his head into the green skin, regardless of what the thousands of people above the temple pointed to, and said angrily: "The burden of the people today is several times that of the ancestors...... The emperor is deep in the ninth place, how can he know everything? Left and right close ministers, who dares to tell the truth!"

Just said this, the ministers on both sides of the clay sculptures stopped doing it, they clenched their fists, and they all wanted to go out of work to strangle this old monster who had no mouth to hide! The civil and military ministers, who had always looked down on each other, had the same hatred for the enemy at this time, and they were determined to join forces to fight the monsters, and they must speak for their own background.

Huang Daozhou understood that he was no longer good, and he said bitterly: "Because Your Majesty is unpredictable, Geng Jie's people are silent, those who are afraid of things are submissive, and villains are flattering...... The people around the emperor praise His Majesty for his wisdom and discernment at every turn, but they are really selfish behind the scenes, and they are confused and isolate His Majesty. Everywhere the people are disheartened, and they hate the soldiers instead of thieves; officials are bought with money, and they will be elected with bribes. All these kinds of evils are accumulating like a mountain, how can the emperor ever have an insight? Today's ministers do not avoid the punishment of the axe, but risk death to speak out, and implore the emperor to think twice!"

At this time, the civil and military officials in the court began to bleed, and everyone said in their hearts, "Oh my God, why don't you have a stomach headache today, but pretend to be diligent in the wind and snow, this middle-aged thing that is not dead, why won't you be killed by the rolling thunder!"

Lei Gongdian didn't expect that he would be included, looking at the resentment of the sky, they felt a little annoyed and annoyed, it was no longer their scope of authority to enforce the law in a different place and kill the ministers, the two of them thought in their hearts, let's go home, make your own decisions, why bother now that there is a fuss inside and outside?

Chongzhen suppressed his anger, smiled and asked again: "How can you say that the burden of the people today is several times heavier than that of the ancestors!"

Huang Daozhou spoke in the official dialect of Zhangzhou Mansion in Fujian, and responded: "During the Wanli Dynasty, due to the military urgency of Liaodong, in addition to the Zhengfu, an additional 5.2 million taels were drawn every year, which was called Liaoyu, and the people were already unbearable...... In the 10th year of Chongzhen's reign, Yang Sichang set a three-month deadline for exterminating thieves, and added 2.8 million taels of salary...... Unexpectedly, last year, another 7.3 million taels of training was levied. The total amount of Liao's salary, expulsion salary, and training salary is more than 1,670,000 taels of silver, which are all in addition to the regular endowment. Please don't go all out of your way to catch fish, kill chickens and take eggs, and leave a glimmer of life for the small people!"
