Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 13
On the way to the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think of Xue Guoguan, the former Chief Assistant, who was finally given to death by him.

Once upon a time, when mentioning the greed of the courtiers, Xue Guoguan answered him: "If the factory and the guard get suitable candidates, who would dare to be greedy?"

The factory guards are like wolves and tigers. He had already seen it when he was the king of Xin. At that time, he felt that this was a bit exaggerated!

However, Liu Weichao said the same thing, and also suggested that he reset the West Factory, thinking of his eyes and ears.

Emperor Chongzhen might not take what others said, but what Liu Weichao said was viewed from a historical perspective, hundreds of years later.

It sure makes sense!
In addition, when discussing the emptiness of the national treasury with Xue Guoguan, who was the chief assistant, Xue Guoguan once asked for a loan, saying: "The borrowings of the bureaucrats and officials outside are borne by the ministers; It is up to the emperor to decide."

This idea coincides with what I am going to do now!

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little embarrassed when he thought about these things.

Because he felt it, he seemed blind, disregarding right from wrong, and killed a person who was supposed to be a capable minister!
Realizing this, Emperor Chongzhen could not help but silently recall everything about Xue Guoguan.

After thinking about it, he was confused again!

Because from all the information he got, Xue Guoguan was corrupt and broke the law, and formed a party for personal gain, each of which actually had evidence.It should be no problem for him to decide to kill him in the end!
Thinking about it gave him a headache, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help rubbing his forehead, it seemed really difficult to know and employ people!

In the end who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad, it is really hard to tell!

Among other things, Sun Chuanting, who was recommended by Liu Weichao, felt that this person was no good, so he was imprisoned for several years for this reason.

It is really too powerful a thief, Sun Chuanting has the credit in the past, now he has to be reactivated.

Unexpectedly, among the civil servants, Liu Weichao only recommended Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting in the first place.

Besides, Lu Xiangsheng, he had already died in battle, he obeyed Yang Sichang's wishes, and even his family would not restrain his body.Later, although he restrained himself, no pension was given until Yang Sichang died, and Lu Xiang was promoted to Prince Shaoshi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and given a funeral.

"Alas!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but hammered his head when he thought of this, he was really confused!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his mind, by the way, isn't there Liu Weichao hundreds of years later?I can ask him for advice, how to know and employ people?Are there loyal ministers and good generals who can be used for themselves?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help touching the sachet hanging on his chest, feeling the treasure inside, and wanted to contact Liu Weichao.

However, he immediately remembered that Liu Weichao seemed to be going to bed and rest, so it must not be a good time to disturb him at this time!

At the thought of sleeping, Emperor Chongzhen finally yawned.

At this time, the physical exhaustion finally made him feel a little tired.

However, the Wenhua Palace will be here soon, and thinking about discussing matters, Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to cheer up and discuss matters first.

Inside the Wenhua Hall, the cabinet members and the supervisor of ceremonies are divided into left and right columns, and they have all arrived first.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to finish their salutes, and said to them: "I summoned you this time because of Songjin's defeat!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, thought that it was as expected, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already discussed this matter. In order to boost the morale of the army, the ministers implore your majesty to set up nine altars to worship the country. Allegiance to Governor Hong! In this way, the other governors and governors who lead troops abroad will be grateful for the great grace of heaven and kill the thief to repay it, and they will die without regret!"

"Minister, wait for second!" The other cabinet members listened, and followed suit, saying in unison.

On the side of the chief of ceremonies, they generally do not express their views, so they did not speak, and they would only answer unless the emperor asked.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said: "Let's discuss this matter again, I want to talk about another matter!"

In the original history, he agreed.

And in this plane, because of Liu Weichao's butterfly effect, this matter has become a renegotiation!

His reaction was obviously beyond the expectations of the cabinet members. They couldn't help being a little surprised, and they all looked up at Emperor Chongzhen together.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, it's a surprise again.

Not to mention the emaciated expression of Emperor Chongzhen, what was even more striking was that there was something very conspicuous hanging on the emperor's chest.

what is that?
Is this the first doubt that appeared among the members of the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals?
On the contrary, they actually expected the haggardness of Emperor Chongzhen.

When they were in a daze, Emperor Chongzhen continued to say: "After Songjin was defeated, the imperial army was completely wiped out. Money is needed for pensions, and money is needed for rebuilding the army. Now that the treasury is empty, this money needs to be solved urgently." , where does this money come from?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru came back to his senses as the chief assistant, and saw that the others did not answer, so he had no choice but to speak back: "After discussing this matter with the six ministers and others, the specific regulations will be announced. Your Majesty, for Your Majesty to decide!"

That is to say, this matter will be discussed again!

In the past, this matter is difficult and very important. Be cautious and discuss it carefully. It is also in line with Emperor Chongzhen's thinking and will agree.

However, at this time, the Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said directly: "I think this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. It will be fine like this. The cabinet will take the lead to raise money from civil and military officials; I will be responsible for raising money from the royal family." Xungui raises money, so that he can have money as soon as possible to rebuild the imperial army!"

"..." Zhou Yanru and others were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Emperor Chongzhen's statement really exceeded their expectations.Before discussing the matter, they never thought of such a possibility!
Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's surprises one after another, for a while, Zhou Yanru and others couldn't help but look at Emperor Chongzhen again, feeling a little unfamiliar.

Is this still the Chongzhen Emperor they are familiar with?Is it still the Emperor Chongzhen who they can lead by the nose?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but glanced at each other. The meaning in the eyes was all doubts. Could it be that someone is secretly bewitching His Majesty again?
At this time, I heard a cough from the supervisor of ceremonies, apparently reminding the cabinet.

Zhou Yanru turned his head and looked at the eunuch Wang Dehua, who was in the palm of the supervisor of ceremonies, and saw that he was shaking his head slightly, so he understood, turned around, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter will damage the face of the royal family and the prestige of the court. Why not..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and immediately interrupted: "The situation is already like this, and I have issued the edict of sinning myself several times? Is the royal face still there? The prestige of the court is still there." Is there any? Rebuilding the army is the top priority, otherwise, how will the Jianlu and the bandits be suppressed?"

When Zhou Yanru heard this, he lowered his head and rolled his eyes, signaling for the cabinet members behind him to also talk.

But who knows, Emperor Chongzhen is Qiankun who said arbitrarily: "I am tired too, this matter is settled like this, Qing waits to do it as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, turning into the apse, leaving those people looking at each other in blank dismay, but they were helpless!
Emperor, how could it be like this?
