Chapter 294: What do you want?
"Master, it's going to be time, hurry up." Yang Xue, who had already put on her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed and began to summon.
"Hmm."
"Don't, sir, it's time for you to go to court." Yang Xue saw that the old man was just but he didn't move, and he couldn't help but say anxiously.
I used to hear my sister say that the most difficult thing was to get the master up and go to court, but now it seems that this is really the case.
"Hmm."
"Hurry up."
"Hmm." Liu Hong gradually turned over and pointed his butt against Yang Xue, with the quilt still between his legs.
There was a crunch of snapping.
Ah-Liu Hong sat on the bed in fright.
"You Nizi is becoming more and more lawless, you dare to spank this master's ass, see that I don't serve in the law!" Liu Hong gradually became confused for a while before he understood the situation.
"Master, there is no way to concubine, you see how long it is, master, hurry up and go to the court, and then ...... when you come back Then enforce the family law for Cher. ”
"Hmph, and spare you, see if I don't clean you up at night, hurry up and serve Master Ben to get dressed, what time is it, and I'm going to be late again......"
……
March 29, morning, Huangji Gate.
The sky just lit up slightly, Chongzhen sat on the throne and listened to the government, and the military ministers stood in turn.
"The ministers are doing things!" The eunuch Li Yunkui shouted.
"Chen Kai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Households, has something to play."
"Don't discuss rewards and punishments in border towns, say it, cough cough." Chongzhen has been annoyed by these people these days, and he talks about it every day.
"Your Majesty, the ancients have clouds, good medicine is good for disease, loyal words are good for deeds, and the ministers have read the books of the sages for decades, so even if Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it, the minister still has to say.
This is a joint recital written by the Inspectorate, the Sixth Ministry, the Hanlin Academy, the Six Ministries of Nanjing, and the three divisions, and the ministers all think that the military achievements of the border towns are too rewarded, and they should be considered in the long run. ”
Chen Kai, the right attendant of the household, lowered his head, took out a piece of music from his waist and presented it to both hands.
"Bold! All the officials are submitted from the General Administration Department to the Chief Celebrant of Ceremonies, and then they can be submitted to the Holy Lord. Before Chongzhen could speak, Li Yunkui took the lead in accusing.
"Hmph, of course the ministers know, but if this note is handed over to the General Administration, it will not be able to be presented to the Holy Lord." Chen Kai twisted his head to express dissatisfaction.
Whether it is the Secretary of General Affairs, the Celebrant Supervisor, or the Cabinet, in their opinion, they are all extremely unreliable.
Papier-mâché cabinets and waxy chiefs are all nicknames given to cabinet members by many lower-level officials, including subordinates of the six ministries, who are all opposed to the actions of their immediate superiors.
In their opinion, these elders are degenerate, and they are willing to give up their principles for the sake of the black veil on their heads and the power in their hands.
But they don't have any way, and now the entire cabinet obeys the orders of the saints, and these people can only do this, hoping that Chongzhen can understand their 'innocence' heart.
"You and the other people are sparse, the celebrant has not dared to detain it, and most of them have already passed, Chen Aiqing and step down, there is no need to discuss this matter again!" Chongzhen said this to give face to the ministers below.
In fact, in the past few days, the recitals have been filled with three boxes, and even the prefects in various places are just making a fuss, and he didn't read these recitals at all, and they all stayed in the middle.
Although the reward in the border town is more, well, it is indeed a lot, probably the income of the sixth or seventh year of the Ming Dynasty.
But isn't there still more than 60 million taels in the treasury? I don't feel distressed, but you jumped out to stir up trouble?
"Death to the minister! Please take back your order! When Chen Kai heard that Chongzhen was going to be sloppy again, he was anxious all of a sudden.
This is not just a matter of silver, it is a matter of their status as civil servants, and it is simply unreasonable that such a large reward is even greater than their salary.
In the end, these students, who have gone through ten years of cold windows, do not earn as much as the soldiers in the border towns, which is simply ridiculous, an insult to their civil ministers, and a provocation to their civil servants.
If you want the generals to rise to the top, so that they can be pressed on their heads, this is simply impossible!
"Wait for death!" Hulala lala knelt down behind him, and for a moment only a few old men in the cabinet, some military attachés who didn't dare to say much, and a few idle officials.
"Presumptuous! Are you all going to oppose me? cough, cough, cough-" Chongzhen was angry and coughed, and Li Yunkui, who was beside him, immediately went down and brought a bowl of black decoction.
Chongzhen drank it all in one gulp, and he got better.
This kind of scene, although Chongzhen has been in power for nearly 20 years, is rare.
After all, for more than 200 years, all the ministers have been the head of the cabinet, and now all the officials are in collusion against the cabinet.
If these officials are all working against me, the cabinet alone will not be able to manage the entire Ming Dynasty......
Chongzhen sat on the throne and was in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, if they want to kneel, let them kneel!" A high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the Imperial Gate.
"An Guohou is here!" A yellow door only shouted out at this time.
An Guohou is here? An Guohou is here!
"Hurry up!" The biggest ally is here, Chongzhen is happy on the horse, he hasn't seen this kid for a month, and he won't say a word when he comes back.
On the contrary, the faces of the ministers all pulled down, and the main master is here!
Who is the culprit of all this, the ministers who knelt on the ground seemed to have a mirror in their hearts, not so much that they were against the cabinet and against the saints, but that they were against An Guohou!
"The Marquis of Chen'an knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......"
"Liu Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" Liu Hongjian just said it, and before he could make any moves, Chongzhen said.
Because it was too late last night, Liu Hong's gradual return to Beijing did not disturb the palace, so that for Chongzhen and the imperial court, it was a big meal.
Look at this holy family? Look at you guys again? Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, stood in the train and sneered at the many officials who fell to their knees.
"I heard that your colleagues have different opinions on the rewards of the soldiers of the border army?" Liu Hong, dressed in purple recklessness, stood in front of the hall and asked.
"Yes, the imperial court has rewarded the border army too much, and it has never been in our dynasty for more than 200 years, and this case cannot be broken, it is a ......."
"I don't understand, when the imperial court was in danger, I didn't see you stand up and be loyal to the country, and the border army swore to defend the Ming Dynasty, keep your glory and wealth, and let you eat and sleep soundly.
Now because of a little last time, you jumped out to accuse, do you still have a little shame? ”
Liu Hong gradually scolded the head of the household.
"Marquis An, you are insulted ......"
"You you, you, what are you?
Have you ever eaten a black nest? Spend the night keeping vigil on the dripping Great Wall?
Have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
Just to protect you fools, how many soldiers died outside the cold pass, and how many soldiers endured torture with mutilated limbs......
You rotten people who only know what you know!
If the border town is lost, you are afraid that you will have to jump higher, you don't say anything when the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and now that the Ming Dynasty is stable, you jump out to find trouble again.
Don't you want Daming to be stable?
What are your intentions?
What is the use of your majesty wanting you? ”
