"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Every time, the hearts of the people below tightened, and the invisible pressure made Shen Yongmao and the others sweat profusely all over their bodies in a short period of time.

But Bi Ziyan's eyes flashed with sadness: "Your Majesty hesitated..."

In his mind, he was no longer optimistic about the outcome of this matter, and the blood in his body gradually began to cool down.

He was going all out this time, but he really didn't expect Chongzhen, who was quite decisive before, to hesitate...

indeed.

Chongzhen hesitated at this moment.

The whole person stood in place, his gaze was erratic, the expression on his face flickered, and he didn't have a definite idea in his heart.

He naturally understands that if the gentry class is drastically rectified at this moment, even if it can't cure Da Ming's stubborn illness, it will definitely improve the current difficult situation of Da Ming and let Da Ming tide over the difficulties at this moment.

However, Chongzhen also knew that if he did so, he would almost offend the gentry all over the world.

And more importantly.

"This is against the ancestral system!"

Ancestral system!

As soon as Chongzhen thought of these two words, he felt an unshakable mountain on his shoulders.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it.

However, in Chongzhen's heart, moving the ancestral system is literally digging his own grave; but if it is true, if it does not change at this moment, the Ming Dynasty will be over.

Even if it can be delayed at this moment, it is just lingering.

Immediately Chongzhen was caught in a dilemma.

For a while, Chongzhen struggled constantly in his heart, and it was difficult to make a decision at all.

He was not a decisive person.

But his silence made Bi Ziyan completely give up, and his blood was completely cooled.

On the contrary, Shen Yongmao and the others gradually regained their composure, and when they looked at each other, they could see the joy flashing in each other's eyes.

They all thought that Chongzhen would definitely lose his temper at this moment, but they didn't expect to be silent.

Silence is turning point.

Moreover, Chongzhen's silence immediately exposed his weakness to the eyes of many ministers.

"indecisive."

Such a shortcoming is a fatal weakness on the king.

In an instant, many ministers felt that the halo of the holy monarch surrounding Chongzhen seemed to have dimmed a lot. Chongzhen, who was quite majestic in the past, was no longer so awe-inspiring.

Qian Yiqian shook his head even more in his heart: "There is no way to compare with King Gui. Even if you flatly refuse at this moment, it is better than hesitation. It is even better to encourage Bi Ziyan immediately."

While speaking, Qian Yiqian caught sight of Bi Ziyan's disheartened face from the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid Bi Ziyan is completely disappointed."

Although, Qian Yiqian also hated Bi Ziyan in his heart, hated him for uncovering the old background of the gentry, and wanted to use the gentry even more.

However, being a minister in the same hall, from the perspective of a courtier, meeting a sage like Chongzhen really makes the courtier feel chilled.

In an instant, Qian Yiqian's original impression that Chongzhen was a holy king completely faded away.

In particular, he has seen Zhu Youchen's decisiveness, and that kind of resolute attitude still makes him feel lingering fear at this moment.

At this moment, seeing Chongzhen's behavior like this, Qian Yiqian's heart suddenly became alive: "It seems that I still have to worry about the silver thing when I find time."

Originally, Qian Yiqian was planning to observe the situation, but now he felt that it was necessary to make preparations.

Suddenly, Bi Ziyan's old voice came from Qian Yiqian's ears: "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, please make a quick decision!!!"

The tone looked like urging, but it was more like pleading...  

When Chongzhen heard the words, his expression froze, he raised his eyes to look at Bi Ziyan, frowned and said: "This matter is related to the ancestral system, it is a big matter, let's discuss it in the court tomorrow."

Bi Ziyan felt ashamed all of a sudden, group discussion?Baiguan is a gentry, so there is no need to discuss it.

He really didn't expect that Chongzhen still hesitated until now, and he sighed in his heart:

"I don't even have the courage to break the boat. Daming wants ZTE. It's too difficult, too difficult!!!"

For a moment, Bi Ziyan felt hopeless, but he still kowtowed to Chongzhen and said:

"The minister obeys the order!!!"

The whole person is still the same person, but it seems to be more than ten years old, giving people a feeling of twilight.

Shen Yongmao and the others around immediately raised their brows, and there was some concern in their eyes.

"Without aspiration, Bi Ziyan may not live long..."

Even though Shen Yongmao and the others felt anxious for Bi Ziyan.

But one size counts for one size, and the matter is doomed to fail at this moment, so the hatred in my heart is naturally difficult to maintain.

And they still admire Bi Ziyan's ruthlessness and determination in their hearts.

If it were them, they would never do such a thing, let alone dare to think so.

The power of one person offends the whole world, just thinking about it makes people spin, let alone Bi Ziyan's direct plan to implement it.

Shen Yongmao also sighed in his heart: "For the sake of Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department, he can afford the words 'concern for the country and the people'."

pity.

Just met Chongzhen. .

Chapter 408

Chongzhen didn't even know how much his handling would deal a blow to the courtiers who were dedicated to serving the country, and what kind of consequences such things would bring.

Now Chongzhen's heart is full of irritability.

I thought it was something that could be solved simply, but I didn't expect it to become so complicated in an instant.

Intricate, even intricate.

"If one is not handled well, the world will be in chaos. This is not the result I want."

Even Chongzhen regretted bringing up this topic at the moment, but the problem of complex grains always exists.

If it is not resolved now, it will only become a bigger problem in the future.

However, Chongzhen is not without a clue at the moment, Shen Yongmao's words just reminded him.

"Decree the army from all over the place to wipe out the rogues everywhere as soon as possible and restore local peace. The Ministry of War must vigorously promote civil servants and generals who are brave in combat. 26"

"And those officials who are unfavorable in combat will be dismissed and investigated on the spot."

Chongzhen had a murderous look on his face when he spoke. Although the gentry were not easy to deal with for the time being, Chongzhen was merciless towards these rioters.

"Except for the chief culprit, resettle all the refugees as soon as possible and resume production. Autumn grain is coming soon, how much can be made up."

If the land is left in a state of neglect for a long time, the fertility of the land will decline, and good fields will degenerate into low fields.

Chongzhen also understood this kind of problem.

Immediately, Shen Yongmao immediately stood up and agreed: "I obey the order, the Ministry of War is already doing it."

"Then work harder. Before the end of the year, I don't want to hear any news about rioters."

"According to the order."

"Water transportation must be restored in the shortest possible time, mobilize grain from the south and Sichuan and Sichuan, and stabilize rice prices in the north."

"According to the order."

Shen Yongmao kept nodding his head in agreement, his whole eyes flickered, this is the best time to expand the power of the Ministry of War.

It can also expand his reputation.

He is now very eager to enhance his prestige, and then successfully served as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

His father used to be the chief minister of the cabinet. If he can also serve as the chief minister of the cabinet, with one school and two chief ministers, the Shen family will completely become famous in Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he was actually more concerned about this matter than Chongzhen.

But at this moment, Chongzhen's words did not stop at all, and he continued: "As for shipping?"

Sea transportation is naturally more convenient than water transportation.

However, a gloomy look flashed across Chongzhen's eyes, not to mention Ming's policy of banning the sea.

Shipping cannot resume at this moment.

Because Chongzhen knew that the southeast waters of Ming Dynasty had been completely occupied by warships under Zhu Youchen's command.

Thinking of the news of the other party's [-] warships, Chongzhen became more and more irritable. He had no intention of continuing the discussion, so he immediately waved his hands and said:

"You guys go down. The matter of food will be discussed tomorrow."

"According to the order."

The six ministers immediately resigned.

Chongzhen did not even retain Bi Ziyan.

Immediately, Chongzhen was once again labeled as mean and ungrateful in everyone's hearts.

Tomorrow, the ministers' discussion is destined to be fruitless, but Bi Ziyan, who is the instigator of this incident, is definitely on the cusp.

It is light to criticize and reviled by thousands of people.

However, Chongzhen didn't say anything at this moment, not even a word of it.

Disappointed, disappointed.

At this moment, Shen Yongmao and others had a clearer understanding of Chongzhen...

Naturally, Chongzhen didn't know what Shen Yongmao and the others were thinking. After everyone left, Chongzhen was still thinking about Zhu Youchen's problem.

Wang Chengen extinguished the redundant candles around one by one, and the imperial study room fell into darkness little by little.

Chongzhen sat under the only lamp, the flickering lamp made his face look cloudy and uncertain.

Suddenly, Chongzhen opened his eyes, and stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.

At this moment, he instantly realized a problem.

"My Daming is so short of food, where did Zhu Youchen, a rebel, get food to support the army?"

While speaking, murderous intent popped out of Chongzhen's eyes instantly, his whole face was stern, but his mind was thinking quickly.

"Where does his food come from?"

"Someone secretly subsidized his food?"

"Who has such great ability to have so much food?"

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more gloomy his expression became.

The food that can support the army is by no means a small amount, and those who are capable of doing this are definitely not ordinary people.

Even ordinary gentry do not have such strength and ability.

Chongzhen also thought about this kind of problem before, but he didn't pay attention to it before.

Now that he knew the food situation of the entire Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

It was even more serious than what he had known before.

Originally, Chongzhen was quite suspicious, but at this moment, it directly made Chongzhen feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating.

"Food! Food! This kind of food is absolutely astronomical. The only people who can get it out are the big clans who have lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and only the vassal kings from all over the world."

Prince?

King! !

In an instant, Chongzhen didn't know what he thought of, and an endless cold light popped out of his eyes...
