64 The party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty really lived up to its reputation

As for the series of things that happened in the prison of the Criminal Department, Hu Guang logged on to the chat group as soon as he woke up, and he already understood the development process of the matter, and there was no need for anyone else to tell him.

After Li Fengxiang finished speaking, Hu Guang couldn't help but praise: "Very good, you and Man Qing handled it well, I know!" ”

When Li Fengxiang heard this, he was full of joy, and hurriedly said modestly: "This is Your Majesty's expectation that things are like gods, and the slaves and maids and the general soldiers just did what they had to do!" ”

Hu Guang nodded when he heard this, and then remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If this emperor does it in a proper manner, it will be really difficult to do things! My experience of being an emperor in the past two days, if I want to do something, there will be a bunch of people who will oppose it. Just look at last night, when the Jianyu army was still in the land of Gyeonggi, many people were busy making trouble.

This morning, the agenda I set before was to let them make suggestions on financial and tax matters. But now it seems that there are a lot of things. I don't know how many people can really make suggestions on finance and taxation.

The party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty really deserves its name!

Hu Guang thought so and entered the chat group. Look at the achievement value is 543. However, at this time, he didn't have the heart to add people, and when he saw that Gao Yingyuan and Liu Wang had messages, he switched to the working group first.

"Your Majesty, we met the defeated Ming army in Tongzhou on the road, and there were many Jianyu Neiying. They recognized Aobai, and after greeting us, Aobai had already taken us to the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"My second brother said, don't let those rout troops enter the Beijing Division, and build a prisoner to do this. I mixed in with Neiying first, and I will definitely come to fight Jingshi in the afternoon. ”

As soon as Hu Guang heard the news, it was very important, and immediately said that he knew, and then his consciousness broke away from the chat group, and immediately looked at Li Fengxiang who was standing on the side and said: "Go and inform Manqing immediately, some of the Tongzhou troops are coming to Beijing, and there are a lot of Jianyu Neiying mixed in it." ”

When Li Fengxiang heard this, he was surprised. Tongzhou came to defeat the army, and it was also mixed with the internal response of Jianyu, can the emperor pinch it?

To be honest, he didn't believe it. But at this time, the emperor had already decreed, even if it was a joke, he had to take it seriously and do it seriously.

Therefore, he hurriedly showed surprise and immediately took the order to withdraw.

Hu Guang watched him leave, then re-entered the chat group, went to the primary group, and clicked on Liu Wang's message to listen.

"Pudu sentient beings, it seems that Jianyu is about to start attacking the city, and everyone is panicking. The child's father didn't come back all night, what should I do? ”

The battle was approaching, and Liu Wang's panicked again. Hu Guang understood her mood, and immediately explained: "Don't think too much at this time, just remember, don't let Jianyu attack the city, fight with them, don't think too much about other things!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Wangshi didn't react, but Ruhua spoke, her voice seemed to be a little tired, but more surprised: "Little monk, you are really a god!" Jingshi was so chaotic last night. The slave family told the little sisters that they were embarrassed to praise them early this morning! ”

Before Hu Guang could react, she immediately said worriedly: "If Jianyu calls, Jingshi is still so messy, will there be something?" ”

"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." When Hu Guang heard this, he said without hesitation.

"Huh!" Ma Fugui's disgusting voice sounded again.

"Oh, do you want the old lady's footwashing water!" Hu Guang didn't speak, Ruhua was already hairy, and he was extremely disgusted with this salt merchant's son in his heart, "Didn't you want to eat last night?" How's ......"

Hu Guang didn't have the leisure to quarrel with people like Ma Fugui, but he was still a little depressed when he interjected to make trouble three times and twice, and immediately asked the system: "System, I am the host, don't I have the authority to punish the people in the group?" ”

The currently known permission is to let the people in the group know his true identity to trigger whether to pull or kick people. This kind of limitation is too big, for example, when you meet someone like Ma Fugui, you are very passive.

"Host, please strive to increase the number of people in the chat group, more features and other host experience."

Yes, it's useless to ask! Hu Guang thought about it, so he withdrew from the chat group and concentrated on preparing for his first pilgrimage meeting.

According to the memory of Emperor Chongzhen, Hu Guang knew that the civil and military officials should line up at this time and enter from the left and right doors on the side of the noon gate.

Next, the civil and military officials stood in line according to their grades in the south of Jinshui Bridge. After the sound of the whip sounded, the bridge was crossed in order, the civil officials were on the left, the military generals were on the right, and before the Fengtianmen Dan Majesty, they stood opposite each other on both sides of the royal road.

Not long after, Hu Guang arrived and took his seat, and the sound of the whip sounded again. An official of Honglu Temple shouted loudly in a long voice: "Enter the class......"

Hu Guang looked coldly at the thousands of civil and military officials below, only to see them walk into the royal road, face themselves, and bow three times. There are many people, but it is also a bit spectacular.

But he knew it was just etiquette. Don't look at them worshipping, in fact, you don't know what you're calculating in your heart. After a while, there are a few people who have the right mind.

After all the process was over, Hu Guang said slowly with a cold face: "I have said yesterday that today's great court meeting is for the emptiness of the treasury, and I hope that you will make suggestions. Where is the book of the household? ”

One of the civil officials came to the front of the palace and replied: "The minister is here! ”

Hu Guang looked at him and said solemnly: "Tell Zhuqing about the current financial situation of the imperial court!" ”

"Obey the order!" Bi Ziyan received the order, and then turned to face the civil and military officials below, and said loudly: "In the first year of Chongzhen, the annual tax revenue could really be sent to the Beijing Division, and it was 3,964,200 taels of silver under the control of the household department, and then it deteriorated due to arrears, and now it is less than 3.8 million taels. ”

"Chongzhen's expenditure in the first year reached 5,252,500 taels, with a deficit of nearly 1,290,000 taels of silver. Later, due to the increase in the salary expenditure of the Guanning army, the annual deficit is now more than 1.5 million taels......"

After Bi Ziyan finished speaking, he retreated, Hu Guang glanced at the civil and military officials below, and said loudly with a cold face: "In fact, even if all the annual expenditures of the household department are used for military salaries, it is far from enough to pay!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and signaled, and Wang Dehua, the eunuch who was waiting on the side, took out a piece of music and began to read it aloud: "The governor of Shaanxi plays: Lingong's salary shortage has reached seven or eight years, counting to more than 300,000; Jinglu Border Fort is missing four years and six years; From the 47th year of Wanli to the second year of Chongzhen, Guzhen Jingyun owed a total of more than 199,000 taels of silver. At the beginning, the armies still sold arrows, and now they have wives; At first, he begged along the street, now he left the army and absconded, and at first he whispered in the sand, and now he openly shouted. ”

After he finished reading and retreated, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan, and then said loudly: "Even the Guan Ning Army, which pays the most military salaries, also has military salary arrears. The governor of Liaodong, Bi Zisu, was also martyred for this, which can be seen! ”
