Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

However, Chongzhen took a meaningful look at the censor and asked, "What if I must destroy other ten clans?"

That censor is also very courageous. In order to fight for his reputation, he didn't even care about life and death. He just stuck his neck and said: "If your majesty doesn't change, you will be the king of Jie and Zhou! As a censor, I am It is the duty of admonishing His Majesty and prosecuting all the officials. Today, Your Majesty wants to carry out such torture, but I would rather die in the palace!"

Chongzhen stared at the censor, but said to Wei Zhongxian who was standing beside him: "I want to hear about the situation of this censor who has been admonishing him."

Who is Wei Zhongxian?How can it be good to be able to achieve "nine thousand years" as a eunuch?Immediately said loudly: "Censor Zhang Wansheng, a Jinshi in the third year of Apocalypse, served as an editor of the Imperial Academy, and was promoted as a doctor of Yushitai in the fifth year of Apocalypse. His family has a lot of money, so he is quite clean as an official, and he never accepts gifts. , filial piety."

When the officials in the court heard this, they thought to themselves, look, we have to be honest gentlemen, even Wei Xie can't fault it!

I don't want Wei Zhongxian's next words to make them fall into an ice cave.

"However, the widow's illness is very serious. In March of the fourth year of Tianqi, Xiaoyu, the head of the Chunfeng Tower, was taken as a concubine. Before April, he was tortured to death.

In May of the fifth year of Apocalypse, Xia He was taken as a concubine, and in July, Xia He died.

In February of the seventh year of Apocalypse, Qiuyu was a concubine in Nachunyuyuan, and in April, Qiuyu died.

His father, Zhang Laocai, owned quite a lot of land in his hometown in Shanxi. Relying on the reputation of the censor Zhang Wansheng, he took over [-] mu of fertile land by clever means and forced five tenants to death. "

After speaking with a smile, Wei Zhongxian asked Zhang Wansheng again: "My lord Yushi, is there any falsehood in what our family said?"

Chongzhen and all the ministers knew that what Wei Zhongxian said was true just by looking at Zhang Wansheng's sweaty appearance.

Without waiting for the ministers to come up with any excuses to evade Zhang Wansheng, the furious Chongzhen shouted: "Come here!"

Even if there were two Jinyiwei big Han generals on duty in front of the hall, they came over and knelt down and shouted: "The minister is here!".

Chongzhen said angrily: "What a clean and honest censor! What a shameless admonition! Didn't you say that you will be killed in the palace today? I will satisfy your request, so that you can seek benevolence and benevolence, and you will die if you seek death." !"

Then he pointed to Zhang Wansheng and said to the two Jinyiwei big Han generals: "Take it! Knock this beast to death on the Panlong pillar!"

The two big Han generals heard the words and said in unison: "Observe the order!"

One on each side, grabbed Zhang Wansheng's arm, freed another hand, and pressed his head. No matter how Zhang Wansheng struggled and begged for mercy, he slammed into the Panlong pillar.

Poor Zhang Yushi, who had been studying hard for ten years in the cold window, was hit with a severed head, his whole face was like a dyeing shop opened, red and white flowed down together, seeing that he could not survive.

The officials in the court hall were stupefied with fright, and only then did they realize that the emperor on the dragon chair, since he ascended the throne, has already had elders and censors who have been stripped of their skins and real grass, and they are not alone. Yes, Hauge, the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, etc., are all precedents.In terms of murderousness, I am afraid that it is far more than Emperor Chengzu, comparable to Emperor Hongwu who founded the country.

Ignoring the appearance of the ministers, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Continue to read. I want to see who has something to say!"

But this time, even when Wang Chengen read out all the will, no minister dared to stand up and object.

Chongzhen, who no one objected to, became more and more upset. After all, you are all talkative kings?A dead fellow is not a poor fellow?It's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed in your hands!

When the courtiers spoke, Jiao would die if he got angry; if the courtiers didn't speak, Chongzhen couldn't understand it in various ways.Furious, Chongzhen looked at the officials below and said, "What's the matter, are you dumb? Didn't everyone want to talk just now? Is there anyone else who wants to say that I am the king of Jie and Zhou?

Don't they all claim to be gentlemen?This is my Ming Baiguan?I think that future generations can write a book, called "Da Ming Officialdom Appears"!

Look at the appearance of all of you, how dare you say that you are clean! ?Are you worthy of your official uniforms?The common people paid their taxes and raised a group of things like you?

I have a word for you.Erluer's salary is all people's fat and people's ointment.If anyone takes the people's salary to bully the people again, I will punish his nine clans!

Don't feel too good about yourself, thinking that without you, this Daming is over.There are plenty of people who want to be officials outside!There are not many other things in my Ming Dynasty, but there are many people! "

Chapter 51 Court Council

After being reprimanded, Chongzhen calmed down a little.Seeing the honesty of the officials below, Chongzhen said: "I don't care what you did before, after all, it is an indisputable fact that Daming's salary was too low in the past. But in the future, if the factory guards find out again, they will all Come on according to the ancestral system.

Now that Qing and others know about the cement matter, I no longer hide it.I plan to use this object for the construction of the Martyr's Shrine and the subsequent construction of the city wall. What's your opinion? "

The so-called killing a chicken to terrorize a monkey, all court officials, as the terrorized "monkey", said honestly: "The emperor is wise."

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Chongzhen secretly cursed again in his heart, you should be like a mite and clean up people, and kill you honestly.

Since the officials did not dare to jump around anymore, Chongzhen said: "There are still a few important matters this time, which need to be discussed by Qing and others.

One is the problem of compensation for the loss of the common people during the establishment of slaves and invasion of bandits.Since I am the Son of Heaven, all the people in the world are my subjects. This time they also suffered from my previous will to fortify the wall and clear the country. "

When Guo Yunhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, bowed to answer, Chongzhen continued: "Secondly, it is about these eight traitorous bastards.

This time the house was ransacked, and a total of more than [-] million taels of silver was obtained.These silver coins are probably all stained with the blood of the common people of our Ming Dynasty. After being counted by the household department, they will be put into the national treasury for use by the common people. "

Guo Yunhou responded again, but asked: "Your Majesty, although there are more than [-] million taels of silver, there are still natural disasters in the Martyr's Shrine, Liaodong and the frontier army, and the victims of the disaster also need relief. How to distribute it?" His Majesty expressly stated."

Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "In the Shrine of the Martyrs, the worshipers are the loyal martyrs who died in battle because of the gangsters' illicit slavery, so they are first used for the construction of the Shrine of the Martyrs.

Secondly, make up the military salaries owed by the frontier army and various guards.This matter was led by the Ministry of War, assisted by the Ministry of Households, and supervised by Jin Yiwei.Anyone who dares to reach out will chop their hands.

As for the silver taels required for appeasement and compensation for the people near the capital, all expenditures are issued from internal funds, and the records of the Jinyiwei Office shall prevail.The discovery of the compensation money this time was distributed by the Jinyiwei of Tian Ergeng's department, and supervised by Wei Zhongxian's department of the West Police Department.Anyone who dares to reach out will chop their hands! "

After several people bowed together, Chongzhen went on to say: "Also, what do you think should be done for the orphaned elderly who were displaced by the slavery and the orphans left by the soldiers of the guard who died in battle?"

Wen Tiren, who had been working as the background wall for a long time, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I think that orphans from various armies can be taken in and treated preferentially in nursing homes in various places. His Majesty can make a special decree to relax the restrictions on the old-age care order, and the officials from all over the country can comfort them."

Only then did Chongzhen remember that later generations did see it on the Internet. Among other things, the Ming Dynasty had a well-balanced welfare system for the elderly. The hospital took care of them, and all those over 50 years old will be carried out according to the old-age decree set by Emperor Taizu Hongwu. Wang Chengen ordered the supervisor of ceremonies to draw up an edict."

After talking about the old man, Chongzhen Shuang turned the conversation back to the child: "We've finished talking about the widowed old man, now let's talk about the orphans left by the various armies.

I think that simply letting the nursing home take them in is not worthy of these soldiers who sacrificed for the country.

Forget it, these orphans are adopted by the palace. Those who are willing to join the army will set up another battalion of young soldiers, and those who do not want to join the army will study in the capital. "

It turned out that what Chongzhen was thinking about was the story of Han Wu.The famous Habayashi Guard in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was formerly the Orphan and Young Army.If I have something to learn from, I will also get a young army like this. When these children grow up, they will naturally be the sharpest knives in my hands and my most loyal eagle dogs.

After arranging these things, Chongzhen went to think of something again, and then said: "When the slaves were established and invaded by the invaders, I once said that I would compile a record of traitors. What do you think?"

Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, this matter can be edited by the Imperial Academy. It's just that whoever gets this book, please let your Majesty express it."

Chongzhen said: "It was said in the middle of the Han Dynasty in the past, Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, the eight wealthy merchants of this dynasty, Fan Wencheng and other descendants of Yan and Huang who were willing to be the lackeys of foreign races, are all on the list. Illustrations and photos are required in the book. In order to let these dog thieves be remembered by future generations.

In addition, after the construction of the Temple of the Martyrs, the Bank of China said that Qin Hui, Fan Wencheng, etc., all cast iron statues, knelt outside the Temple of the Martyrs for the people and future generations to cast aside.Wen Aiqing will lead the Imperial Academy to handle this matter. "

Seeing that Wen Tiren also bowed in response, Chongzhen went on to say: "This time the property of the eight traitorous merchants and those who conspired to rebel was seized. The sum of the proceeds may not be nearly ten million taels. I intend to upgrade the Baochao Division It is the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty, directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Accounts, and is in charge of printing and recycling treasure banknotes, and reissuing treasure banknotes."

What Chongzhen didn't expect was that the first person who jumped out to object was his former good teammate, a member of the eunuch party in the cabinet, and his second assistant Shi Fenglai.

When Shi Fenglai heard that Chongzhen wanted to reissue the treasure banknotes, he objected: "Your Majesty, I think the matter of treasure banknotes should be postponed.

First, there is a flood of private banknotes, even seven or eight banknotes, which cannot be exchanged for a tael of silver.

Second, the common people do not trust precious banknotes, so they are unwilling to use them.

Thirdly, what if someone imitates the precious banknotes? "

When Chongzhen heard this, he felt that it was nothing, so he said: "I have considered the issues Shi Aiqing heard before.

For the issuance of precious banknotes this time, many talented craftsmen were ordered to study the anti-counterfeiting techniques of precious banknotes, and also to conduct secret investigations by Jin Yiwei to prevent criminals from forging them.If someone reports the forger, he can get half of the forger's property.
