Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After finishing speaking, ignoring Shen Xiuting who was so frightened that he fainted, Chongzhen turned to Wu Qi again: "And you, is this bloody food delicious? If you carry the blood-stained silver on your body, you won't be afraid of wronged souls." Looking for your life?

Don't say your father doesn't know about it, and don't think that I will let them go.If you make money, they will be well-clothed and well-fed. If you break the law of the Ming Dynasty, they will also die.

For your family, such as Shenxiu court regulations, the number of corpses on the mass grave is the number of people from your family's nine clans who will die, including adults and children. "

At this time, Wu Qi was courageous. In order to strive to leave incense for the Wu family, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who is over ninety and under seven years old must not use it unless he seeks rebellion." Death penalty. What His Majesty did is really an act of Jie and Zhou!"

When Chongzhen heard the words, he laughed wildly and said, "Da Ming Law? I am the Daming Law! The people who starved to death are the Daming Law! Don't tell me that the disaster is not as good as your family. Your benefits will be enjoyed by them, and your evils will be shared." , they have to follow!

Remember me, what I have always believed in is that nine clans are not enough, ten clans come together! "

Chapter 2

Facts have proved that human potential is infinite, and the key lies in whether there are sufficient conditions to stimulate it.

Whether it's to keep the official position he finally got, or to really serve the country wholeheartedly, Ma Weihou, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, rushed to Lantian County that night, not to mention waiting until the next day.

In order to ensure the speed, Ma Weihou, who is quite particular about his image on weekdays, didn't even sit in a sedan chair, and rushed all the way from Xi'an Mansion to Lantian County.

It's just that after arriving at the county government office in Lantian County, looking at the expressionless face of Emperor Chongzhen, Ma Weizhen felt that his calves were spinning, and he secretly complained in his heart.

It's his mother's fault for today's incident.Speaking of the food used for disaster relief, he, Ma Weizhen, dared to swear by his eight generations of ancestors that he really didn't get a single grain from it.

Although the salary of my position is not too much, it is enough for daily expenses.

What's more, I am also on the gold list of the Renchen Imperial Palace Examination in the 20th year of Wanli. I don't even have the guts to be greedy.

As for the filial piety to the superiors on weekdays, and collecting filial piety from the lower people, can that be considered greedy?It's just a relationship.As long as the amount of silver is not too large, there will be no problem if you think about it.

But there is an old saying that goes well, when people sit at home, disasters come from heaven.

The grain that I should allocate to Lantian County is not short, but what I never expected is that Shen Xiuting, the county magistrate of Lantian County, would dare to be so greedy and poke such a big basket.

If you say you are greedy, you can be greedy, at least don't starve to death, even if you starve to death, can you deal with the whole thing?The emperor of the current dynasty who let Weifu privately visit was arrested, and I was also implicated!

Ma Weilin, who cursed Shen Xiuting inwardly, first paid homage to Emperor Chongzhen, and then stood there respectfully waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to deal with him.

Chongzhen glanced at Ma Weilin expressionlessly. It was this person who first reported the severe drought in Shaanxi in the memorial. An idiot who doesn't even know the situation, it seems that this person can be used, but he can't be of great use. It is probably not bad to be a censor or something, so let's forget about the ruling party.

Concerned about this, Chongzhen said, "Tomorrow, we will preside over the food distribution. Then you will accompany me to take a walk around this Xi'an mansion. Let's see what's going on under your rule."

Ma Weizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The situation in Lantian County, according to the information I know, is a special case, but I don't know why the emperor chose Lantian County—it's really fucking unlucky to go to grandma's house.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished his orders, he ordered Ma Weihou to retreat and rest.As for the unlucky Shen Xiuting and Wu Qi, they simply threw them into the prison in Lantian County and held them separately, waiting for Tian Ergeng and Cao Huachun to come.

On the second day, Emperor Chongzhen was still in micro-clothes, and brought Ma Weijun to the porridge donating site not far from the Lantian County Government.

Looking at the crowd queuing up to receive porridge from afar, Chongzhen asked, "What did Ma Aiqing see?"

Ma Weizhen didn't know the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's question, so he could only answer honestly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, what I saw was the disaster victims receiving porridge."

Chongzhen nodded, hummed and said, "What I saw was not the disaster victims receiving porridge. It was a gathering of forces that would change the world."

Seeing that although Ma Weizhen bowed, he still didn't take it seriously in the miraculous, and the Emperor Chongzhen, who intended to send Ma Weizhen to the official censor, went on to say: "Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been passed down to my Ming Dynasty, how much has it been?" Changes in dynasties? Excluding Jin and Song, how many of them were caused by civil uprisings?"

Hearing this, Ma Weizhen took a deep breath.If you don't think about it, it's just a change of dynasty.

But after really thinking about what the emperor said, I found that no matter which dynasty or generation it was, it was because of these seemingly inconspicuous people that the dynasty really changed.

One Han was the Five Hu, and the great Han who died by force alone was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that these people started first, and the Three Kingdoms came later.

Meng Yuan, who had beaten the whole world, was also driven back to the grassland by Emperor Gao, the great ancestor who started at the end of his life.

And these disaster victims in front of them are similar to those who had no food and people during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties?Who knows, will there be people who will rise up in rebellion when they can't survive?

As for the two noodle melons of Nandu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Gusong Dynasty, they are simply special cases and have no reference significance at all.

Seeing the change in the expression of Ma Weizhen looking at the people, the Emperor Chongzhen who was satisfied in his heart continued: "In my opinion, the people of my Ming Dynasty are the best people in the world. As long as they have enough food to eat, they They will not choose to rebel, but will earn a living by farming honestly.

But, why can't the princes of the court and the officials of the Ming Dynasty not see through it?Wouldn't he be satisfied if the government forced the people to rebel, and in the end he would be torn to pieces by these furious victims?Um? ! "

Ma Weiyi was speechless for a moment, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "Let's go, let's go and see what kind of porridge in Lantian County is like."

In fact, when Emperor Chongzhen and Ma Weihou were talking, someone found Emperor Chongzhen and Ma Weihou in official uniforms under the porridge shed in the distance. They just saw the two chatting there, so no one came to bother them all the time. That's all.

Now the two of them walked over from a distance, among them Chongzhen was the first, and Ma Weihou, who was dressed as a magistrate, followed closely behind, knowing that this young man with a handsome face was the most honorable person, so those who were The yamen servants who escaped while serving porridge outside waited respectfully for the two to come to question them, and none of the most common pretense and face-slapping plots in novels occurred.

It's just that after Chongzhen approached and saw the rice soup in the big pot under the porridge shed, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart rose up again with a groan.

Looking at the yamen servant who was bowing down and waiting for his order, and the victims who hid farther away but were still staring at the cauldron, Chongzhen asked with a face as heavy as water: "I put porridge every day. like this?"

Although the servants who were not in the county government escaped yesterday's catastrophe because they kept serving porridge, they also knew that the county government was surrounded by some Qiu Bamen, and it was said that there were many screams from behind.The yamen servants, who were already anxious, were so frightened that they dared not speak when they heard the young master's question in front of them.

After a long while, a yamen servant who looked like a team leader stood up, first made a bow, and then bowed and said, "Going back to you, the porridge is sometimes thinner and sometimes thicker. If you catch up The county magistrate is in a good mood, so the porridge will be thicker. As for weekdays, it’s probably the same as it is now.”

Chongzhen's anger endured again and again, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore, he kicked the table next to him, and shouted angrily: "It's not good for a dog official to bully me with a sword!"

With a bang sound, the table with some broken bowls on it finally failed to stabilize and fell to the ground. Even some of the broken bowls on the table were smashed to pieces.

The government servants and disaster victims who were nearby could hear clearly, since the first emperor, who would dare to use the word "zhen" on a daily basis?Then look at the magistrate who is like an angry little daughter-in-law behind the noble son in front of him. Who doesn't know that this is the emperor's personal visit?All of a sudden, the government servants who put the porridge under the porridge shed and the victims who were nearby fell to their knees.

It was just that the victims who were farther away could only see the noble young man knocking down the porridge table, and they immediately raised their voices.Originally, although the porridge was a bit watery, it still had something to drink. If there was no such thing, what would people like me do?Are you waiting to starve to death?

Thinking of this, these disaster victims looked at Chongzhen with more or less unkind eyes.

Fang Zhenghua and Zhu Gang, who were guarding Chongzhen, were observing the surrounding situation, and when they saw this, they hurriedly called out: "Guard!", first sent a signal to summon the Beijing camp, and then called out to the accompanying Neichang Fanzi and Jin Yiwei Surrounded the Chongzhen Emperor.

In just a moment, they were already very close, but the Jingying soldiers who were on alert had already surrounded this small square-like place, and even a group of soldiers from the Baihusuo quickly rushed to Chongzhen. Surrounded by Jinyiwei, the Emperor Chongzhen was completely isolated from the victims.

As soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed over, shouting for escorts, the victims were farther away. At this time, they also knew that the young man who kicked down the table was the current emperor who came here secretly.

Although the disaster victims who were waiting for the porridge couldn't understand why the emperor kicked the table down, the soldiers around them were not joking, so no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to suppress it and knelt down. Long live the mountain behind the earth.

The minds of these victims were not clear, but Zhang Zhiji, who surrounded the guard with his soldiers, just glanced at the cauldron of porridge, and his heart was like a bright mirror.

Damn, it's not so much porridge as water, with a few grains of rice mixed in.Such a bowl of porridge goes into the stomach, but it only takes a while to urinate, and people will continue to be hungry!What a magistrate of Lantian County!It would be really strange if the emperor was not furious in this situation!

Sure enough, the sullen Emperor Chongzhen first picked up a relatively intact bowl from the ground, and then picked up a spoon to scoop it up in the pot for a long time before scooping up a bowl of rice.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen casually picked up a chopstick and put it in the bowl. Then he stared at the chopstick with red eyes and said, "I have ordered Jinyiwei Tiqi to disperse to supervise the release of food. The porridge released , must insert chopsticks, chopsticks fall down and heads fall! No matter which state or county, if a chopstick falls down and a common people starves to death, I want their heads! The heads of the Nine Clans!"

Since this passage was almost screamed out, which of the nearby people and yamen servants couldn't hear clearly?For a while, the common people began to discuss it first.

"Well, let me just say, it's all these officials' nonsense, how could the emperor ignore us?"

"Ming Jun! Ming Jun!"

"It's better now, I don't have to be hungry anymore!"
