Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

What's more, once the children and lone travelers left the city, they disappeared without a trace.Later, when I saw people outside the door cooking human bones for salary and human flesh for food, I realized that all the people before me were their food.And the cannibals died within a few days because their faces were red and swollen, and their internal organs became hot and dry.As a result, the pillow of the deceased was filled with foul smell.

Several pits were dug outside the county seat, each of which could accommodate hundreds of people, to cover their remains.When the minister came, there were more than three pits full, and I don't know how many of them were not enough to cover up a few miles away.If it is so in a small county, you can know it in a big county; if it is so in one place, you can know it in other places. "

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't maintain that paralyzed look on his face any longer, he hummed and asked, "Then how to calm down?"

Ma Maocai said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, please distribute more food to relieve Shaanxi!"

After saying a word, he knocked his head heavily on the ground and didn't get up.

Emperor Chongzhen hummed again, and said, "Get up, I have already prepared the relief food."

After just one sentence, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly looked at Zhang Nian with a sneer: "Zhang Aiqing, come and tell me where the relief food I prepared went?"

Zhang Nian was speechless, but Emperor Chongzhen sneered, "Why do you think I called Li Aiqing and Ma Aiqing?

Or, do you still think that I don't know about those crap things you did?Do you regard the factory as nothing? "

After Emperor Chongzhen finished his sentence, Zhang Nian realized that the emperor summoned Li Yingqi and Ma Maocai not because they had annoyed the emperor, but for himself!

Zhang Nian turned his head and was about to speak, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen say, "You sent two calligraphy and paintings to Li Yingqi, but you never thought that he would turn around and hand them to Jinyiwei after accepting them?"

Seeing that cold sweat had begun to break out on Zhang Nian's forehead, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was rotten, from top to bottom. But it's very good, let me see it." When we arrive, there are courtiers like Li Aiqing and Ma Aiqing, so I am very relieved."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was talking to himself. He didn't care whether Zhang Nian answered or not. How many things are buried under the rockery?"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Zhang Nian's ashesy face, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered: "Send someone to pick up the things and take an inventory."

Zhang Zhiji, who was also in the lobby, cupped his hands, and then sent people to dig under the rockery in the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiji had sent someone there, Emperor Chongzhen just tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers, but didn't speak, and the whole hall fell silent for a while.

As time passed bit by bit, not to mention Zhang Nian who was already ashen-faced, but Zhao Ping who was defending the city and attacking, and Zhu Yujian, the grandson of Tang Wang who was summoned by Emperor Chongzhen from Xi'an Mansion, Zhang Zhiji and others also felt great pressure.

For half an hour, no one spoke in the entire main hall, only the soft sound of Emperor Chongzhen's finger tapping on the table, which was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Just when Zhang Zhiji was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Zhang Ziming strode into the main hall, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, everything under the rockery has been dug out."

Emperor Chongzhen hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, but he could only smell a smell of piss that began to spread in the normal state, and then he heard a thud, it was Zhang Nian, the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, who could no longer bear such powerless pressure and knelt down On the ground, between the two buttocks was wet, it was obvious that he had peed his pants.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Nian kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, and I deserve death for my crimes. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's see how many things there are?"

When Zhang Ziming heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are sixteen boxes buried under the rockery, and among eight boxes, each box contains one hundred and sixty ingots of silver, and each ingot is 50 taels, totaling 4000." 50 taels. There are two other boxes, each with 3000 gold ingots, and each ingot is 3 taels, totaling [-] taels, which is [-] taels of silver.

Of the remaining four boxes, two contained some ancient books and playthings, and the other two contained some calligraphy and paintings of famous people from the Han Dynasty to the present Dynasty, the value of which is incalculable. "

After listening to these things reported by Zhang Ziji, Zhang Nian's face became even more ashamed.

Even Zhu Yujian, who had never spoken before, was dumbfounded.

That's right, the officials and lords of Daming thought that they could get so many things, not only if they had money, but Zhu Yujian, who always thought he was not short of money, began to admire the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture—— The place where money is made is really clever.

However, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Zhang Aiqing, come and tell me, is there a mistake in this? Has someone from the factory guard ever framed you?"

Seeing that Zhang Nian didn't speak, but just acquiesced, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Just now you said to let me show you a favor, so I thought about it, whether I can show you this kind of favor."

Hearing the meaning of the joke in Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhang Nian's thoughts were completely restored. Even if his mind was blank, Zhang Nian knew that he was finished this time, and the nine clans were finished together.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "But it can't be done. It is said that I am the son of heaven, but a herdsman on behalf of the sky. The people in this world are my people. If you harm them, how can you let me treat you like this?" kindness?

Of course, even if you don't take this into account, and I want to show you favor, what do you think of Huang Liji, the former chief minister who was skinned by me?What do the other ministers who are hanged at the Ganmen and accompanied by Huang Liji think? "

As soon as the voice changed, Emperor Chongzhen laughed again: "Look, I'm so confused, aren't I? They don't have to think about it anymore."

Seeing that Zhang Nian was already accepting his fate, Emperor Chongzhen stood up from his chair, bypassed the case table, and came to Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian looked at the uppers of Emperor Chongzhen, and simply gave up the idea of ​​begging for mercy. Anyway, he was doomed, so it would be better to keep the dignity of some scholars.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his foot and kicked Zhang Nian fiercely, kicking Zhang Nian over.

The sudden change stunned Zhu Yujian who had just stood up from the stool following Emperor Chongzhen's rise. Seeing that Zhang Zhiji and Fang Zhenghua were also standing there, Zhu Yujian had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!" , the dragon body is important."

Emperor Chongzhen ignored Zhu Yujian's persuasion, and just kicked Zhang Nian one after another, cursing as he kicked: "Bastard! Why did the Ming Dynasty treat you badly? High-ranking officials have to work, and beautiful concubines have to get them." , the salary and silver are not missing from you?

Now that you fucking force Yan'an Mansion into chaos, aren't you afraid that the disaster victims will cook you up and eat you when they enter the city?After eating you, shouldn't these red-eyed disaster victims rush into the capital and eat me too? ! "

Emperor Chongzhen was kicking and cursing, but he heard a report from the little eunuch outside the door: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Du Wenhuan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Yansui, has an audience."

Chapter 254 Dog Judgment (4-word first update)

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen kick Zhang Nian resentfully, and ordered: "Xuan, this bastard, come in!"

After Du Wenhuan, who was born with a thick back and waist, came in and knelt down, Emperor Chongzhen kicked Du Wenhuan.

Du Wenhuan was a little confused when he was summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, but now that he was kicked, he became even more confused.

Reminiscing that just after he led the troops to Yan'an Mansion, he was first guarded by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and he was ordered to come to see him alone, Du Wenhuan felt even more uneasy.

Just thinking about it, I didn't do anything too much, and there was nothing to be afraid of except for some empty pay, so even though I got kicked, Du Wenhuan wasn't very worried -- besides, The emperor is willing to kick first, which means that the anger is not enough to kill people, right?

After kneeling honestly, Du Wenhuan kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty calm down, please take care of the dragon body."

Emperor Chongzhen said angrily, "Take care! I'm here to ask you, what is my purpose?"

Du Wenhuan was confused by Emperor Chongzhen's question, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I don't know which decree His Majesty is referring to?"

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "What did I say about the purpose of these rebels?"

Du Wenhuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Qi Zuo, what His Majesty said in his will is that those who are willing to surrender will be sent abroad, and those who do not surrender will die."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled colder: "Then let me ask you again, where did the 190 or nine people in Xiaohu Village outside Ansai City go? Where did the 37 or [-] people in Zhangjiazhuang go?"

When Du Wenhuan heard the words, there was a thump in his heart at that moment, the secret channel was broken.

Of course I know what I did in Xiaohuzhuang and Zhangjiazhuang.But how the hell did the emperor let the emperor know about it?It seems that I still have Jin Yiwei's spies under my command, if I can fool this matter, I must be more careful in the future.

Du Wenhuan was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen say in a sinister way: "First, I misinterpreted my will to induce surrender, and then ordered the surrendered people to pick up knives, and then killed them with the excuse of surrender and rebellion.

Du Wenhuan, you are really capable, are you treating the people and I as fools? "

When Du Wenhuan heard it, it really was the shit he did. It seems that Emperor Chongzhen knew about it.

In desperation, Du Wenhuan bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have misinterpreted the Holy Will and have failed His Majesty's grace. I deserve death for my crimes!"

Emperor Chongzhen snorted angrily: "If you can give me an explanation today, I will give an explanation to the hundreds of people in Xiaohuzhuang and Zhangjiazhuang!"

Du Wenhuan didn't speak first, but just looked at Zhang Nian who was kneeling on the ground.
