Chapter 22: Let's do it
In the emperor's palace, the ministers were blinded by a series of appointments, and there was silence for a moment before the ministers who reacted quickly knelt on the ground and died.
"Your Majesty, exempting the people from paying taxes is not objected to, but the increase in commercial taxes is to compete with the people for profit, which will inevitably cause resistance from merchants all over the country, and the situation in Daming will only become more unbearable! The emperor thinks twice! The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Chen performance class started.
In order to increase income, in addition to corruption and bribery, officials took advantage of their positions to start business, and pawnshops, cloth villages, and inns abounded, so that the shops on the streets of the capital had the participation of hundreds of officials.
To levy a commercial tax now is to drink their blood. 、
"The emperor must not believe the words of the villain, the top priority should be the trouble of the bandit army and the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the brocade clothes will protect the country and the people, and the teacher of the past and the future, the emperor must not use it!"
Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, fell to the ground with a buttocks, and the tears came out as if he was a trick, crying with emotion, and what he said was also full of tears, and the pain was as if he had died of his father, and crying and tears were the famous skills of Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also seconded the proposal, not to mention the harm caused by the Jinyi Guard, then Liu Hongjian how can he be, a hairy boy Weichen thinks that he is overwhelmed, if the emperor wants to use the Jinyi Guard, the ministers can discuss the competent candidate for the commander." Li Jiantai, the right attendant of the ministry, said righteously.
Although Jinyiwei has been idle for a long time, there are still people among them who secretly collect information about the ministers of the DPRK and China, including who is corrupt and bribe-taking, who knows the law and violates the law, and the current commander Wu Mengming is also a dog who never spits ivory in his mouth, and always blackmails the ministers with evidence and makes a fortune.
Li Jiantai has been the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials for a long time, and if he thinks that if he can't do anything, he will take over the right to appoint him at the very least, and it will not be difficult to appoint an obedient commander.
If Liu Hongchuan, a hairy boy, is used as a brocade guard, with his thunderous actions in the past two days, it is impossible to say that most of his colleagues will have to go home to retire, maybe this is still a better ending.
"Death to the minister! The emperor must not restart the brocade guard! ”
"Death to the minister! No commercial tax should be levied! ”
"Death to the minister! ……”
The old men who were still half-dead just now instantly became alive and vigorous, and the court instantly fried the pot, the scene was magnificent, which can be described as a dance between the civil servants and the generals, tears and saliva flying together.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the micro-ministers are shallow, weak, and only useless, Your Majesty!"
Liu Hongjian also joined the howling army, he really didn't want to be the commander of this Laoshizi, this troubled water is not easy to wade, if you are not sure, you will be criticized and stinking for 10,000 years, how can you be a rich man to tease the little daughter-in-law.
"Do you want to disobey me?" Chongzhen saw that Liu Hongjian also refused his appointment, and couldn't help but feel sad, staring at Liu Hongjian deadly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were very disappointed.
This look was full of disappointment, loss and despair, as if he had finally grabbed a life-saving straw, but the straw was a rootless grass, Chongzhen closed his eyes slightly and was silent.
Liu Hong was gradually shocked by this almost desperate look, it was he who gave Chongzhen the idea, it was he who gave Chongzhen new hope, he was like a life-saving straw in Chongzhen's hands, but now he was stabbed by his own hands.
Liu Hong gradually regretted deeply, the eldest husband was born without regrets, since he gave hope to this empire, let's do a big job!
"Wechen doesn't mean that, the emperor, Wechen can be the commander, but Wechen doesn't know if this official has the power of life and death, if you encounter a corrupt person, Wechen is not an official and powerful, so what's the matter?"
"I give you the sword of Shang Fang, you can behead corrupt officials, behead profiteers, and if you encounter lawbreakers, you can cut them first and then play!" Chongzhen, who was full of disappointment, saw that Liu Hongjian was only worried about the small power of the official and was afraid of his affairs, and the disappointment on his face suddenly disappeared.
"That minister will hold this sword, cut through thorns and thorns for the emperor, eradicate traitors, and never give up!" Liu Hong gradually knelt down to thank him.
It's over, now I'm on a thief ship!
"Your Majesty, please take back your life!"
"Never to, Your Majesty!" The ministers began to die again.
"Noise! Whoever dares to advise again, pull out the rod and reprimand 20! Chongzhen changed his pleasant face just now, he watched these performing artists perform for a full seventeen years, and he didn't see any improvement in Daming, but became even more corrupt and bad.
In the past seventeen years, he listened to these ministers to abolish the East Factory, shelved the Jinyiwei, and repeatedly reduced or exempted commercial taxes, so that the commercial tax revenue at the end of the Ming Dynasty was almost none.
He listened to the three salaries imposed on the people by these ministers, which led to the rise of the people and the death of millions of innocent people.
He followed the advice of his ministers to keep the Liaodong Army still, so that Lu Xiangsheng, the only one who could contain the Manchu blade, fought alone and died in a bloody battle, and the Manchus immediately sent troops to Shanhaiguan.
Now, disappointed and awakened, he decided to go his own way.
"If the emperor doesn't take back his fate! The minister had to beg for bones and return to his hometown! Qiu Yu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, ruthlessly signaled his colleagues around him to resign collectively, in his opinion, as long as everyone is united, Chongzhen will definitely give in as before.
"Yes, Zheng Sanjun will immediately draw up a suitable candidate for Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works!"
Well? Before the colleagues around him could speak, Chongzhen's sentence was accurate, and Qiu Yu, who was choked directly, wanted to cry without tears, when did the emperor start to play cards out of common sense? Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want to resign......
There was a cry just now, not all the ministers came out to oppose it, and the ministers who did not refute included Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, Ma Shiqi, the left waiter of the ministry, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, and Fang Yuegong and Wu Ganlai, the right waiter of the military department, Wang Jiayan, the right waiter of the criminal department, Sun Chengze and Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Fan Jingwen, and the right waiter Jiang Dejing.
Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, took a step forward slightly, bowed to the leader's order, Chongzhen glanced at the ministers who were standing and did not follow to refute him, and sighed in his heart, I still have loyal ministers and loyal ministers.
"Ni Yuanlu and Liu Hong gradually followed me to the Qianqing Palace! The rest of the people, wait, retreat! Chongzhen didn't look at the ministers who looked at each other and looked at each other without saying a word, and stepped directly off the throne and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu glanced at the AKM on Liu Hongchuan's body, and followed behind Liu Hongjian step by step, his eyes had been hot on this murderous weapon for a long time.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, a eunuch had already prepared for Liu Hongjian the waist card of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, as well as a Shang Fang sword inlaid with gold leaf.
Liu Hong gradually took the Shang Fang sword and took it out to observe it repeatedly, you must know that he has only seen this thing in the TV series, and he has never seen the real Shang Fang sword, with this thing, wouldn't he see that a corrupt official is unhappy, and he can kill people and take money or legal, Meizizi?
"This is what you call Akaem?" Chongzhen got rid of the ministers, he was in a very good mood, and looked at the AKM in Liu Hongji's hand with great interest.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Fan of the Ministry of Industry has been coveting Weichen's AKM for a long time! You see he's all coming along! ”
