Thinking of this, Chongzhen suddenly felt the grievance in his heart burst out like a flood breaking a bank, turned his head and pointed at the southern sky and shouted:

"Isn't it for Daming? Isn't it for the people of the world?"

"I've already cut down on food and clothing to such an extent, don't they understand me?"

"As long as I have a penny, how can I reach out to them? If there is no Daming, will they all have to work as cattle and horses for the post-gold tartars to be comfortable?"

Chongzhen's roaring words echoed at the entrance of the entire hall, and all the people around gritted their teeth together, their trembling bodies seemed to be in a storm, and the oppressive atmosphere made everyone dare not vent their anger.

However, at this moment, Chongzhen didn't intend to stop at all. Since the topic has already reached this point, he doesn't want to take it back...

Chapter 486

Chongzhen was extremely angry at this moment, the blood in his whole body was boiling hot at this moment, and the flushed complexion on his face was even more blood-colored.

Anger, rage.

But after the anger reached the extreme, Chongzhen suddenly became extremely calm, with a pair of dark eyes as cold as frost on his slightly ferocious face, everyone who looked at him shuddered.

"I have made up my mind and will never change it!"

The cold words sounded in everyone's ears, like the cold current of Nuer Gandusi blowing through everyone's body, they couldn't help shivering, and goosebumps appeared.

Facing the furious Chongzhen at this moment, no one dared to speak.

Chongzhen at this moment is an insurmountable mountain, a continuous mountain range called the Ming Empire.

This mountain suppresses the world!

It made everyone feel the madness of a thunderstorm.

However, Chongzhen's words also paused, and then continued to ring: "If you can't do it, you will all be accused and sent to prison. This time, I will never tolerate you. Are you the elders of the three dynasties!"

In an instant, the bodies of the six ministers were all shaken. Except for Bi Ziyan and Gu Shen, the other four looked up at Chongzhen with expressions of horror, but they all froze at the sight of Chongzhen's cold and heartless eyes. land.

How could this be?

How did Your Majesty become like this?

Could it be that the blow was so great that he lost his sense of proportion?

Everyone's minds were in a mess, and they couldn't even think about why Chongzhen was so cold today, it was a different person from the past.

However, Bi Ziyan and Gu Shen, who had been kneeling on the ground, understood that Chongzhen hadn't changed, but that he didn't want to wait any longer.

It was exactly as the two of them thought.

Chongzhen couldn't wait any longer at this moment. For the sake of Daming, he devoted all his energy to living his life as if he was prematurely decrepit. He worked hard to become the Mingjun that everyone hoped for.

But even so, the world is still getting more and more chaotic, and the more chaotic he is, the more anxious he becomes.

This time, he was stimulated by Zhu Youchen, and he completely figured it out. There was nothing wrong with him wanting to be a Mingjun, but the following group of courtiers kept preventing him from being a Mingjun.

There is no way for him to let go of his hands and feet and stabilize the Great Ming Universe according to his own will.

"Anyway, neither I nor my elder brother are the Mingjun that these literati want, nor can they be the Mingjun they want!"

"Since that's the case, I will be a tyrant. The methods are second to none. I only want this great Ming country to last forever!"

"Even if thousands of people scold me, so what? I just want the Ming Dynasty to still shine brightly after thousands of years!"

In an instant, the wavering in Chongzhen's heart was completely wiped out, and there was no more ups and downs in his heart. He just stared coldly at the six ministers kneeling below.

The six ministers felt the pressure in an instant, and Qian Yiqian was trembling in cold sweat, but he was crying in his heart:

"It's terrible! It's terrible, Chongzhen was directly forced to a desperate situation by King Gui. This is completely killing the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred!"

At this moment, Qian Yiqian felt unprecedented anxiety and anxiety.

In his opinion, Chongzhen was completely out of proportion. He originally thought that he would have the hope of defeating Zhu Youchen, but now it seems that he was simply thinking too much.

It is impossible to defeat Zhu Youchen after such a careless toss.

In an instant, the balance in Qian Yiqian's heart suddenly turned to Zhu Youchen.

"No, the task entrusted by King Gui must be done immediately when I go back today, otherwise my life will be over!"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????????????

Qian Yiqian instantly drenched his clothes with cold sweat, but at this moment facing Chongzhen, he did not dare to show the slightest bit.

Although everything seems to take a long time, in fact, only one or two breaths have passed.

In the next moment, Bi Ziyan's dull voice sounded in everyone's ears: "I obey the order!"

The sound is dull.

Even if you don't need to look at Bi Ziyan's expression at this moment, you can clearly feel the helplessness and disappointment in Bi Ziyan's heart at this moment.

But it was beyond everyone's expectation that he did not resign brazenly at this moment. The elders of the three dynasties in Chongzhen's discourse basically referred to him.

.. 0 ......

But at the next moment, when everyone was about to agree with Bi Ziyan's answer, it was the minister of the Ministry of Industry who raised his head slowly, took off the Usha from his head, and said directly:

"The Ministry of Industry is going downhill every day, and the ministers have no leadership. The ministers have gone through three dynasties, and now they are old. I am afraid that they will not be able to follow His Majesty's ambitions. I would like to hang the crown and return home!"

Shen Yongmao and the others all looked at Gushen in shock, and only now did they suddenly remember that this old peasant-like Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was also a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

A gust of wind blew, and Gu Shen's gray hair hung up. At this moment, he didn't look like a Daming Shangshu at all, but an old man in his dying years.

Everyone's eyes trembled. This old man was also doing his best for Daming. The Yellow River was safe and sound, and it was all because of this old man leading the Ministry of Industry to maintain it.

He has participated in almost all the construction of Daming in the past 30 years.

Now it's time for the curtain call.

Chongzhen stared at Gushen coldly, and after taking a breath, he uttered a word: "Quite!"

After saying that, Chongzhen turned around and walked towards the imperial study, leaving behind Shen Yongmao and others who were frozen in place...

Chapter 487

"allow!"

The cruel words were still echoing in everyone's ears, but everyone's hearts fell directly to the dust.

Shen Yongmao and the others just stared blankly at Chongzhen's figure getting further and further away until it disappeared at the end of sight.

Your Majesty agrees?

His Majesty, he actually agreed?

How could he agree, Your Majesty! !

How could he agree once! ! !

Except for Gu Shen and Bi Ziyan, the other four ministers echoed such words in their minds, even the surrounding guards, maids and eunuchs were a little dumbfounded.

Even people who don't understand know that Shangshu, as the head of all officials, is an example for all officials. If he submits a letter to beg for bones, the emperor must keep him.

This is not only to give respect to the ministers, but also to show the emperor's magnanimity.

But at this moment?

Chongzhen didn't even want to stay, so he agreed directly.

This is not only to deny Gu Shen, the veteran of the three dynasties, the final face, but also to show his ruthlessness at a glance.

All the court ladies and eunuchs around suddenly felt a sense of worthlessness in their hearts, because they wanted to take care of the worthlessness of this dying old minister.

But that's all, they are also ants among all living beings, and this worthlessness is annihilated in their respective hearts in an instant.

As for sympathy, a Shangshu does not need their sympathy.

However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were vaguely looking at Gu Shen, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and then it turned into deep admiration.

But at this moment, Gu Shen's face was calm and calm, without any resentment or dissatisfaction, and his face still had the simple smile of an old farmer.

Bi Ziyan at the side directly cupped his hands towards Gu Shen, and said in a deep voice, "Master Gu is retreating bravely at this moment, I'm glad to congratulate you."

This is definitely not irony, Chongzhen is already a little moody at this time, maybe he will be convicted at any time, it is a kind of wisdom to be able to give up power without hesitation at this moment.

After all, power is what everyone in the world wants, and some people can't let it go until they die.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yongmao and others around were startled.

But immediately there was some sadness in my heart. Although I didn't have the final dignity of resigning from office, I completely bid farewell to the vortex at this moment.

Compared with people like them, it is indeed something to be celebrated, especially when Chongzhen seems to be more headstrong at the moment.

They all had the idea of ​​resigning just now, but in the end they forcibly endured it, and they still couldn't let go of the power in their hands.

In the next moment, Shen Yongmao and the others all bowed their hands towards Gu Shen, but they didn't know how to speak.

On the contrary, Gu Shen took it very seriously, and didn't care about Chongzhen's final almost insulting treatment, just like a breeze passing over a hill, he remained motionless.

On the contrary, Gu Shen bowed his hands towards them, finally looked at Bi Ziyan, and said solemnly:

"It's really nothing for people like this old man to want to leave. On the contrary, you who still decide to stay at this moment are the ones who are truly admirable. Companion to the king is like a tiger, and the old man sighs at this moment."

Flower sedan chairs carry people.

Gu Shen praised everyone in one sentence, but the other four people understood that the person he really wanted to talk about was Bi Ziyan.

Bi Ziyan could leave at any time, even just now they thought that because of Bi Ziyan's stamina, he would resign immediately, but they didn't expect Bi Ziyan to endure it in the end.

They will not simply think that Bi Ziyan is greedy for power, even Shen Yongmao, who never forgets to be the chief assistant, does not think that Bi Ziyan is greedy for power.

"Hey!" Bi Ziyan let out a long sigh, with a deep sadness on his face, and said in his mouth:

"The old man also wants to leave, but now His Majesty needs the help of the old minister more and more. If someone else comes, the old man can't rest assured!"

Daming's finances have been completely on the verge of collapse. If he walks away at this moment, Daming's finances will collapse, and the consequences will be disastrous...

really!

When the people around heard the words, they all bowed their hands at Bi Ziyan. They almost all thought of this, and looked at Bi Ziyan with respect.

They asked themselves, if they were themselves, they would never be able to do what Bi Ziyan did.

Bearing the burden of humiliation cannot be covered in one word.

There was no surprise on Gu Shen's face. They were both officials at the same time. After so many years of ups and downs, he knew that Bi Ziyan had chosen to back down the moment Bi Ziyan didn't choose to kneel down.

This is an official who is dedicated to the people.

However, facing an emperor like Chongzhen, he simply couldn't serve the people wholeheartedly. Chongzhen cared too much about Zhu's family.

"Hey!" Gu Shen let out a long sigh: "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

After saying that, Gu Shen bowed his hands to several people and said: "The old man still needs to explain the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, so let's go first."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shen immediately walked towards the outside of the Forbidden City, while the five people in place stood there, watching Gu Shen's leaving figure, and no one said a word.

Chongzhen presented them with a huge problem today, if one is not handled well, the Ming Dynasty will be turned into a storm.

Maybe without Zhu Youchen calling in, people all over the world will take the initiative to welcome Zhu Youchen into the Forbidden City.

"Let's go, I need to discuss the matter of 100 million taels of payment at this moment."

Bi Ziyan said it directly, and the other four people did not have any objection. This matter seems to be a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but in fact it has something to do with all of them.

After saying that, everyone continued to return to the public house guarded by the cabinet along the way they came from...

Chapter 488

Soon, the five returned to the public house where they were on duty in the past, and the surrounding officials immediately sent the piled memorials to them for approval.

But at this moment, everyone is not in the mood to review the memorial for the time being. If the matter is not resolved, it will affect their judgment.

Bi Ziyan glanced up, then waved his hands and said: "Put everything there. Serve tea, I have something to discuss with the adults, no one is allowed to disturb without permission."

"As ordered!"

The surrounding officials immediately resigned, and everyone could feel that Bi Ziyan and others were not in a good mood. Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they still followed Bi Ziyan's instructions.
