Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 63
Therefore, Xue Guoguan was mobilized and attacked alone, and the court immediately fell into chaos.

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of quiet whips sounded immediately, and the censor who was in charge of the etiquette in front of the imperial court also yelled sharply. Even so, it took a while for the noise below to quiet down.

On the throne, Emperor Chongzhen had a gloomy face, just like the weather, which made people feel cold.Obviously, the emperor was very unhappy!In this regard, the courtiers who observed the emperor's face could also understand it.

Thanks to Yang Sichang's reputation for talent, seeing this situation, he had an idea, and immediately opened his mouth to play to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, many of my colleagues actually mean the same thing. It's not that they don't want to share your worries, but that there are more than 5000 people, which is a bit too many." Yes. Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

Hearing this, many people suddenly realized, as if what they said just now was a bit too much.Even if the emperor is in the deep palace and doesn't know what's going on outside, no matter what, there is always something to count. No matter how poor an official is, he is not as poor as he was complaining about just now.You know, there has only been one Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Thinking this way, they all immediately agreed with Yang Sichang, saying that more than 5000 refugees were indeed too many and beyond their endurance.Their family is not rich either, so if there is only one person in the family, it is barely enough.But the problem is, with so many people, one can't favor one over the other, live one and die the other, right?Therefore, the matter of refugees in the capital still needs to be resolved as a whole.As long as the emperor or others can come up with a solution to the remaining people, they will certainly be able to share your worries.

Emperor Chongzhen never spoke, just watched them perform.In his heart, he actually understood very well that once their own interests were mobilized, they would immediately unite regardless of party affiliation.Even if the interests of this loss are only a little bit!So, he turned his attention to Xue Guoguan.

"Your Majesty, the princes and dukes in the capital are quite honorable, and they can also share your worries!" Xue Guoguan immediately understood and played loudly again.

Hearing this, several nobles standing in the ranks of generals, such as Duke Wei Deng Wenming, immediately went out to complain and said: "Your Majesty, the last general's salary has been in arrears for many months, and the population in the mansion is too large to make ends meet. It’s hard to have more mouths to eat. But the last general can’t just ignore death, he can lead one person!”

The salaries of civil officials and generals come from the Ministry of Households; while the salaries of princes and nobles come from the palace.Regardless of whether they are inside or outside the palace, they are all the same, and their salaries are all in arrears.At this time, they found an excuse and used it to seal the emperor's mouth.

After all, this reason is very reasonable from the official point of view.If you don't pay wages, where do I get the money from?As for saying that you have extra money, the emperor can't say that! Otherwise, dare the emperor condone officials breaking the law?Otherwise, you should arrest people instead of leaving them alone.If you want to arrest, you can arrest all officials who have the ability!This is obviously impossible!
As soon as Deng Wenming finished speaking, several other nobles also came out one after another. No surprises, they all echoed Deng Wenming.Just like the civil servants, you can take one back to the house, but not more!

In this way, the question raised by Yang Sichang, what should the remaining common people do?

So, this issue became deadlocked again.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face was a bit ugly, but he still restrained himself and asked loudly: "Masters, do you have a good plan?"

However, this time, just like before, it became very quiet, and everyone was listening to the sound of the wind blowing the flag.

At this time, the sky was already bright.The ministers lowered their heads, looked at their feet, or communicated with each other with their eyes, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and whispered to Chen Baoting. Then he saw Chen Baoting quietly leaving the emperor's side and leaving from the side.

In fact, all the ministers were paying attention to the emperor's movement. When they saw the movement, they couldn't help guessing one by one, for fear that the emperor would use some unexpected means.

Censor Yang Zhi woke up, rolled his eyes, turned his head slightly to glance at the other two, then coughed, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard it. He thought that no one would speak, so he couldn't help but look forward to it, so he nodded and said, "Quick!"

"Your Majesty, these few days Dongchang Tiqi has been everywhere, disturbing the people's lives. The tragedy of the apocalypse is still in front of us, we must pay attention to it!" Yang Zhiqi seemed to be speaking loudly, with a worried expression on his face. look.

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the censor didn't come to solve the refugee issue, but instead impeached Dongchang.

The other officials were also surprised when they heard it, but after the accident, they all liked to hear about the transfer of the topic.So, someone came out and agreed.

"Your Majesty, in this troubled time, we can't let the factory guards run rampant and cause people to panic!"

"Your Majesty, Dongchang Tiqi rides everywhere, but there is His Majesty's order? What is the reason? Can you clarify the order!"

"..."

For factory guards, there is a natural opposition between civil and military officials, so if something happens, they will all attack together!This is a butt question, nothing else!Some officials even jumped for joy when they saw that Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, was not here.

Unknowingly, the topic was shifted like this.

Most of the officials, if they can not get a mouth to eat at home, they will naturally be happy in their hearts!

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen replied to them: "The Manchu Tatars entered the pass several times, which happened to be the critical time to eliminate the bandits in the pass, which made the imperial army exhausted and unable to deal with it, while the bandits were able to breathe. What's the reason for this, sir? The factory guards are just checking this, sir, don't worry!"

Hearing this, most people were stunned. They didn't expect that the news they had heard before was true.At this time, the emperor said it himself, and they couldn't help but think deeply.

But Yushi Yang Zhiqi sneered in his heart, and immediately played: "Your Majesty, I think it is not surprising that this matter is just a coincidence! After all, every time the Manchu Qing Tartars enter the pass, they will always force the imperial army to be transferred. King Jingshiqin! You can’t blame other people for these things, if you want to blame, you can only blame Bianzhen!”

This time, the Manchu Qing army entered the pass from the defensive area of ​​Wu Aheng, governor of Jiliao.What he meant by saying this was to say that this was actually the responsibility of Wu Aheng and the others.Anyway, Wu Aheng had already been killed by the Manchu Tartars, and no one would refute it.

"Yes, my minister seconded the proposal!" Liao Guolin, another censor, also immediately came forward and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, those who make alarmist remarks about this matter, but Dongchang did it?"

Speaking of this, he asserted in a decisive tone: "Your Majesty, I dare to conclude that the person who brought up this matter has no good intentions, and uses this as an excuse to investigate the world, trying to make the factory guards run rampant again in the world, and reproduce the power of the factory guards during the Tianqi years. , his heart can be punished..."

Hearing what he said, the three assistant ministers knew that the matter was actually mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen himself, but now he wants to say that the person who mentioned this matter will be punished!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the throne, to see how he would react?
