Those people who lined up to give gifts couldn't help but laugh when they heard Qin Shuhuai ask such a stupid question.

Another humane, "Boy, since you think Grandpa Guo doesn't accept gifts, what are you doing with such a big cart of things? ”

Qin Shuhuai's heart became more and more angry.

Before going out, Lao Tzu left 10,000 taels of silver tickets for the family, plus the court's money, how could it be enough for the family to eat, right? When did Chen Qing'er develop the problem of taking people's things?

Oh yes.

When I first met her, didn't she just touch the silver ticket on herself?

Is this called inexorable nature?

It just doesn't make sense!

He angrily told the coachman to go ahead and ignore the men.

But they didn't take a few steps before they were "surrounded".

"Hey, you kid can't get in the oil and salt, right?"

"What's the origin of your master, and are there any rules?"

"Boy, I see clearly, the one in the front row is the family of Lord Chen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the back is the family of Lord Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, everyone is honestly queuing, what's the matter, your master is bigger than them?"

The coachman glared angrily and said, "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is amazing?

Qin Shuhuai didn't have the face to admit that he was An Guogong at this time, so he asked the coachman not to speak and stay where he was, wanting to go in first.

But he didn't take a few steps, but he saw a person running from the front, shouting happily, "Ouch, Grandpa Guo is back!

The person who came was the housekeeper Qiao Laosi.

This loud roar immediately made those people outside the door dumbfounded.

He, he's the grandfather of the country?

Hey, my mother, what did we just say?

You seem to call him "boy"?

No, there is no such thing!

Nothing happened just now!

The big man who had been arguing the most before reacted the fastest, knelt down without saying a word, and shouted, "The little one greets Grandpa Guo! The little one greets Grandpa Guo! The little one wishes Grandpa Guo a good New Year!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed, sweating on his back.

Just now, I made a disrespectful remark to Grandpa Guo, if this is known by the master's family, I have to pick my own skin!

Seeing this, the others also hurriedly fell to their knees.

I thought to myself, it's over, I'm in trouble!

Qin Shuhuai's face was pale, he didn't say anything, and entered the Guogong Mansion angrily.

All the subordinates in the mansion greeted them happily, but when they saw that Grandpa Guo's face was black and terrifying, they suddenly didn't dare to squeak.

Qin Shuhuai went directly into the back hall, came to his room, and pushed open the door with a hula.

Chen Qing'er just heard that Qin Shuhuai was back, and she was hurriedly dressing up inside, usually she didn't like to smear rouge powder, only when Qin Shuhuai came back, she would clean it up carefully.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuai came in so soon, he hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves and said angrily, "Husband will go out first, and Qing'er will soon dress up!"

Qin Shuhuai pulled down Chen Qing'er's hand and asked in a condensed voice, "Let me ask you, have many people been giving gifts to the mansion recently?"

Chen Qing'er was a little frightened.

In the past, Qin Shuhuai would always say funny things to her when she came back, or do something embarrassing, but today it seems to be a different person.

But she still nodded, "Yes, it's been there since the beginning of the year, and there are still people to send it today." ”

"So you took it all?"

"Yes, but ......"

Qin Shuhuai was furious, slapped the table fiercely, and shouted, "Chen Qing'er! Have you forgotten whose hands your father died? Is it the Donglin Party! The Donglin Party, which formed a party for personal gain, accepted bribes, and expropriated violently! Do you want me to learn from the Donglin Party?"

Chen Qing'er's tears fell suddenly, and she shook her head desperately and said, "No, no, husband......"

"No? I've seen it with my own eyes, and you tell me no?" Qin Shuhuai became angrier and angrier the more he spoke, "There is still a long queue outside! Let me tell you, the Donglin Party will not do this! This is a stupid 13 behavior, do you know? Blatantly befriending Beijing officials and accepting generous gifts, there is no second stupid 13 in the world who will do this!"

"Do you know that there is a saying that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles? Hehe, okay, Chen Qing'er, you are amazing! In a few days, people all over the world will know that I, Qin, have leaned towards the government and the opposition, abused power for personal gain, and the henchmen under my command are all vying for each other! The Donglin Party said that I held the Holy Lord hostage and caused chaos in the court, but no one believed me. You're good enough to help them prove it!"

"You're just, you're just!"

Qin Shuhuai was indeed furious.

He was not angry at Chen Qing'er for accepting generous gifts, but at her stupidity.

Speaking of which, he himself is not a good bird who is honest and honest, Wen Tiren, how much did he extort? How much did he extort during the trip to Jiangnan? He was more ruthless than anyone else when he was black.

But he is black, at least he will not be stupid enough to blatantly collect money and leave a handle for others.

Although the world is now decided, there are countless important things to do in front of him.

Pingyarqiang, Dzungaria, Mongolia, Houjin, and the strong implementation of the new policy, which of these things does not need to rely on the prestige he has saved so hard?

Prestige is a thing that is difficult to establish, but once it is defeated, it will definitely be like a mountain! Don't look at the fact that the Donglin Party has basically stepped down now, but as long as the scholars in the world are still there, they will have the ability to bite back at any time!

Even if these people don't have a handle, they can make up stories to discredit you, and if they really catch the handle, then they won't go crazy and stink you?

Moreover, even if he ignores the remnants of Donglin, just Chongzhen, hearing that he has made a large number of Beijing officials, will he be suspicious again? When the time comes, if Chongzhen does not give himself enough support, how can he push it?

That's why he was furious!

Chen Qing'er saw that Qin Shuhuai didn't ask the reason, and she was scolded for scolding, and her grievances also came to her heart.

said with a pear blossom on his face, "Since the husband thinks Qing'er is stupid, then Qing'er is stupid." thinks that Qing'er is greedy, then Qing'er is greedy. ”

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but be angry and unbearable when he saw her looking pitiful.

He let out a long sigh and lowered his voice slightly.

And he said, "What, are you still reasonable? In short, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen again in the future." I'll return all the things I received!"

"Retreat, retreat!" Chen Qing'er said angrily.

But at this moment, I only heard someone outside shouting in a long voice, "Is Brother Qin at home?"

Qin Shuhuai knew that it was Chongzhen as soon as he heard it.

Xindao, what kind of speed is this kid? Even if he was discovered by the Ouchi secret agent as soon as he entered the city and reported it, he wouldn't arrive so quickly, right?

But I had to open the door quickly.

Sure enough, it was Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was dressed in civilian clothes and looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile.

Qin Shuhuai wanted to make a big salute, but was stopped by Chongzhen.

This guy smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I'm here to accompany you." Ahem, don't scold your sister-in-law. ”

Qin Shuhuai was a little confused.

This bastard is eavesdropping on the outside? What kind of hobby is Nima?

He laughed and said, "Hehe, let Brother Huang laugh." This, this thing is actually like this......"

He wanted to explain to Chongzhen that it was not his intention to let so many Beijing officials come to give him gifts, so as not to make Chongzhen unnecessarily suspicious.

But he heard Chongzhen smile and said, "Brother Qin, let me talk about this matter." ”

"Huh?"

"I asked my sister-in-law to collect these things. ”

"What?"

"Mrs. Sister-in-law is ordered to receive gifts, and if you scold him, you will scold me. ”

"Huh?"

"Hey, hey. ”

Qin Shuhuai looked at Chongzhen's smug appearance and couldn't wait to give him a punch.

Hey, uncle, as an emperor, you have such a pit courtier?

Chongzhen said again, "Brother Qin didn't invite me to sit somewhere, it's really cold outside." ”

Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, you are a bastard!

However, scolding and scolding, he still led him to the study.

Closing the door, Qin Shuhuai said, "Your Majesty, where are you doing?"

Chongzhen smiled bitterly, "Brother Qin doesn't know, it's been more than a year since the Yansui disaster, and the people have been begging all the way when they have no food, and many of them have arrived in the capital. Guess how many there are now?"

Qin Shuhuai said unhappily, "I don't know." ”

"More than fifteen thousand!" Chongzhen sighed and said, "I asked Shuntian Mansion Yin to place them on the south side of the Lugou Bridge." However, these 15,000 people have to eat, clothe, and sleep, and if they survive the winter, it is roughly estimated that they will have at least 100,000 taels of silver. You also know that the money you gave me last time has already been spent. But I couldn't ignore those victims, so I thought about how I could raise some of them. ”

Qin Shuhuai's eyes widened.

"So you came up with this idea?"

Chongzhen smiled, "You know! This year is the Year of Jingcha, and I have already let out my words, and you will preside over this year's Jingcha." You can do anything, I can rest assured. And this is also convenient for our monarchs and ministers to work together to rectify the rule of officials, don't you say it's wonderful?"

Qin Shuhuai wanted to be angry.

said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's useful to divert the topic like this. You haven't said why you want me to be a corrupt official?"

Chongzhen immediately said seriously, "Nonsense, who dares to say that Brother Qin is a corrupt official? Annihilate his nine clans! As for these gifts, all of them will be converted into cash and go to the relief of the victims." I estimated that after this Spring Festival, it would be no problem to collect 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Qin Shuhuai is an MMP on his face, but he is still an MMP in his heart.

Nima, you let Lao Tzu extort money to raise money, and now you let Lao Tzu openly take bribes to raise money?

You're awesome! It's a shame that you're the emperor, and if you're an official, your hands will be blacker than Lao Tzu!

Still unhappy, he said, "I said, Brother Huang, you have ruined my reputation, how can I help you do something? If you want to do this, you can also look for it, well, find Sun Ge Lao! He is an old man of high morality, and it will be fine if he is a little bit unsure in the evening." ”

Chongzhen smiled sheepishly, "Hehe, Sun Ge's old evening festival has long been gone." I asked him to take the lead in giving you a gift, if he didn't give it, how could this trend of giving gifts to Qin Shuhuai, the presiding officer of this Jingcha and the grandfather of the country, spread?"

Qin Shuhuai was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty, are you not joking?"

Chongzhen said seriously, "I look like I'm joking?"

"No, what's the picture? You want money to tell me, it's a big deal, I'll run to the helmsman of the Cao Gang and pretend to fall down and lie to them!"

He felt that Chongzhen was crazy.

And Sun Chengzong is also crazy!

The two of them knew that corruption was rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and they were going to rectify the rule of officials in the future, but they still took the lead in doing this kind of thing? Isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver, and as for making such a big move, they even accompanied Sun Chengzong's evening festival?

Chongzhen smiled, "Okay, okay, Brother Qin, don't be angry, I'll be honest with you." After these gifts are delivered, they will be distributed to the victims in the name of 'Jingguan Private Disaster Relief'. In other words, as many of these things as they sent, they will donate as much as they want in their name, and all the officials who gave the gifts have become models for disaster relief. And this matter was initiated by your brother Qin, and I will issue a decree to reward you and the official who contributed the most money, so wouldn't it be another beautiful talk?"

Speaking of this, Chongzhen added, "Hehe, in this way, we have raised the money, and Brother Qin's reputation will not be damaged, don't you think it's the best of both worlds?"

Qin Shuhuai was impressed by Chongzhen's "powerful" logic.

When did this kid become so slippery?

But then again, this trick is really Nima, and people can't fault it.

But why do you always feel that something is wrong?

Jingcha ...... Gifts...... Disaster relief......

His head buzzed.

I see!

Chongzhen's move, the drunkard's intention is not to drink!

On the surface, he was raising the 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver, but in fact, Ya was playing tricks again.

first let out the wind, let himself preside over the Jingcha, and then use Sun Chengzong as a bait to lure the Beijing officials to give gifts to him. After that, these were converted into money and grain for disaster relief, and the beautiful name was that the Beijing officials took out the money to help the imperial court for disaster relief, which sounds good, right?

But then there's Jingcha!

Those officials who gave gifts, it is estimated that none of them want to stay in office! Don't look at yourself as the chief official of Jingcha, but the final decision is not in Chongzhen's hands?

Chongzhen will let them all go home!

In this way, the news spread, and there was only one result!

That is, it is rumored in the officialdom that the grandfather of the country is upright, he doesn't want to give him gifts, and all of them are donated to the victims, and all those who give him gifts have been dismissed and investigated by him!

Very good, no one will dare to talk to him in the future.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but look at Chongzhen angrily and helplessly.

Chongzhen still looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile.

This trick was thought up by Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong didn't believe that Qin Shuhuai would take the initiative to rebel, and Chongzhen didn't believe it either.

But Sun Chengzong was afraid that Qin Shuhuai would be added to the yellow robe one day, that is to say, he was instigated by the people below, and even forced to rebel!

Chongzhen is also afraid!

In fact, even Qin Shuhuai himself was already worried about this.

Those people in the Jianghe Gang, Liu Guoneng, Li Dingguo and others who surrendered, as well as many people from the Wulin Alliance, and even some of the generals of the Ming Army, recall, how many people said "I am willing to die for the grandfather of the country?"

They didn't say "die for the court", isn't the meaning obvious enough?

How many people are waiting for him to reign in the world, and then follow him to be the founder of the country and glorify his ancestors?

If this group of people collectively admonished him and draped the dragon robe on him, how could Qin Shuhuai suppress it?

Will you kill the brother who was born and died with you, and still want to respect you as the emperor?

They are pushing you endlessly, what can you do with them?
