Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

"That's right, I must advise Your Majesty today, don't play with things and lose your mind! You must not be addicted to things like the first emperor!"

"Today's son is holy, but it is hard to avoid being deceived by others. From someone's point of view, those craftsmen must have seduced His Majesty, so His Majesty ignored the country and the country and went to fiddle with that lime cement!"

"Scholars of my generation read the books of sages and sages, so that one day they can help the country and persuade the king?"

"Brother Wang's words are very true! Today we will advise His Majesty, punish the country's thieves, and reflect on ourselves! Even if the blood is spattered three feet, I will not hesitate!"

Chongzhen felt a sudden sadness in his heart when he heard the discussion of these students.

I'm afraid that all the students of Ming Dynasty are like this, right?Everyone wants to be an official, but they don't want to think about how to help the community.Now, it has even developed to the point of crying palace!These censors are all right, but what about the students?Is it true that everyone doesn't take Emperor Hongwu's imperial edict seriously?

Chongzhen was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked: "What is the reason why Qing and others are here?"

Turning around, he said to the many students: "You don't study hard, why are you messing around? Do you know that this is the palace gate?"

Chapter 43 The Thorn King (Revised)

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he first peeled off a cabinet chief assistant and imperial censor, and then delayed Hauge, the eldest son of Jiannu slave chieftain Huang Taiji. , the evil spirit and the emperor's spirit became more and more profound, and now he suddenly became angry, which made all the censors and sentient beings tremble with horror.

Jia Jichun, the imperial censor of Zhili, took courage and said: "Your Majesty has not seen Emperor Xizong's business? Today, Your Majesty does not take it as a commandment, but indulges in strange skills and ingenuity. In ten or so days, there are two or three days." Court. As a censor, it is the duty of the minister to persuade the king."

Chongzhen let out an expressionless "Oh", and said to the other censors: "Qing and others are here for this purpose?"

When the other censors saw that someone was in charge, one of them played: "Qi Zuo Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty made cement in the palace. I am ignorant and can't understand the power of it. But what I played is to impeach the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and others. Artisans, it is a fault to deceive Your Majesty into doing the lowly work of artisans. I ask Your Majesty to punish this traitor."

Another person just said: "Qizou Your Majesty, I have heard that a ruler should live in a temple and rule under the arch, and the world will be at peace. Now that Your Majesty is doing this work of a craftsman, where will the country be placed? Your Majesty, please think twice." .”

Chongzhen said: "The things I made are of great use in military and state affairs, and they are confidential matters, not for Wei Zhongxian and other craftsmen.

If you want to know what I have made, you can watch the construction of the Martyr's Shrine in front of Chengtian Gate tomorrow.Now, Qing and others will retreat for the time being. "

Seeing that the censors still wanted to speak, Chongzhen said angrily: "If you want to make a statement on state affairs, you should hand over the book to the cabinet. Now you are kneeling at the palace gate and crying, what a shame! It's a disgrace to the country!"

However, Jia Jichun said: "Your Majesty does not listen to the advice of my ministers and others, but runs on words. What is this Mingjun doing? I ask your majesty to reflect on yourself, punish the country's thieves early, and rectify the court. If your majesty refuses to obey, the ministers would rather kneel down and die." Outside Donghua Gate!"

The murderous intent in his heart became more and more heavy, but Chongzhen said: "Okay. Qing, wait and kneel first." Turning his head, he said to the many students: "Wait, come here, is it the same as these censors?"

The impassioned student surnamed Wang in the crowd said to him: "Your Majesty is wise, students, please punish the country's thieves as soon as possible, so as to set the court order!"

Seeing these students who were supposed to study in Guozijian and Hongwen Hall, now being fooled into crying palace, Chongzhen understood more and more Zhu Yuanzhang's will that "only students are not allowed".

Chongzhen said: "You can know that Emperor Taizu Hongwu once issued an edict, saying that the soldiers and civilians are all beneficial to the sick, and everyone in the world is allowed to make suggestions, but the students are not allowed. Now, as students, you kneel and cry at the palace gate, but there is still something in your eyes. Taizu's edict? Do you want to trap me in injustice?"

What you said is heartbreaking.Many students wanted to shrink back, but they didn't want Wang Sheng to say suddenly: "Your Majesty, students have heard that family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything cares about everything. Although the students are not Donglin students, they also want to follow suit. Now that the country's thieves are rampant, it's time for students When you speak uprightly, please see clearly, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen laughed angrily at such nonsense.Immediately asked: "Then I came to ask you. When the Jiannu besieged the city before, where did you stay? I sent factory guards to collect money to resist Jiannu. How much did you donate?"

After Jiannu retreated, when the soldiers of the Beijing camp gathered the people in the city and rebuilt their residences, where were you waiting?

I once issued an edict that the matter of the cement made in the palace must be kept secret, how did you know about it? "

The more he talked, the more angry Chongzhen shouted angrily: "Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?"

The supervisor surnamed Wang was a courageous one, and said bravely, "Return to Your Majesty, the factory guard is a person who harms the people, and the parents of the students were framed by Wei Yan. Although there is still some money in the family, why donate it?" To the factory guard? As for the matter of cement, the students naturally listen to what others say."

Hearing what the leading supervisor said, Chongzhen laughed angrily, and said: "I have issued an order over and over again, strictly prohibiting private relations with the palace and making friends with the servants. Unexpectedly, there are still people who are so bold. You and the censors, the students, cry in the palace today and tomorrow Is it time to force the palace?!"

At this time, Jin Yiwei, who was mobilized by a decree of Chongzhen, had already surrounded the Donghua Gate, and nowhere, the shadowy queue of soldiers from the Beijing camp also appeared.

Seeing this, all the prison students huddled together in a hurry, but Wang Sheng, who was brave, said angrily: "The king treats the minister like nothing, but the minister treats the king like a bandit! Your majesty is a fool! You can't do that!" Fengzong Temple!"

After finishing speaking, a chi-long dagger suddenly fell out of his sleeve, stabbing Chongzhen forcefully.

Wang Sheng's prison uniform was originally a toga with long sleeves, no one would have thought that someone had hidden a dagger in it.

There was only a sound of "呲啦", and the sleeves of Emperor Chongzhen, who was sideways in a hurry, had been cut open, and even a cut was made on his arm.

The Dongfang Hierarch who was behind Chongzhen finally came to his senses, and kicked Wang Sheng to the ground. Even if there was Jin Yiwei next to him, he was under control. Afterwards, the sound of hula-la swords sounded, and Jin Yiwei quickly took the censor and all sentient beings together. The members gathered together and shouted angrily: "Guard! Don't let anyone get away! Anyone who acts recklessly will die!"

Although Wang Sheng was restrained, he didn't care about the cries and curses of the censors and supervisors after being surrounded, but kept yelling: "Chongzhen! You stupid king! Favor the eunuchs and make them the factory guards again. In the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, the country will surely die!" Die at your hands! Faint King! Faint King!"

Chongzhen clutched his stabbed right arm, kicked up, but was frightened to death. Wei Zhongxian, who was shouting "Chuan Yuyi", fell to the ground and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Immediately glaring at the censors and the students, he shouted: "Good! The imperial family has been supporting servants for 300 years, but in exchange for today's Assassins and Killers!"

Immediately, he shouted to Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun who hurried forward: "Take all of them! After being sent to prison, you will be severely tortured to find out whether there is someone behind the scenes!"

Then he said to Fang Zhenghua, the leader of the East: "Block the gate of the palace! The inner factory, Jinyiwei, and the East and West Second Factory jointly censored everyone in the palace! I want to see which dog slave who has eaten the heart of a bear dared to fornicate the palace!" outside!"

After arranging the palace ban, he said to Wang Cheng'en: "Decree to the Duke of England, so that he does not have to come here. Order him to lead the Beijing camp to seal the city gate, allowing entry and not exiting!

Order Mangui to lead troops to patrol the streets, take down those who have changed on the spot, and kill those who resist!Curfew at sunset today!All civil and military officials who dare to take to the streets after the curfew will be captured and sent to jail! "

Wei Zhongxian, who was kicked down, just got up, and sent someone to inform the imperial doctor, and at the same time sent someone to inform Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory.

After Chongzhen finished making arrangements repeatedly, he returned to the palace and went to rest in the Queen's Palace.

Just looking at Zhang Yan, the Empress of Emperor Tianqi, who came in a hurry, Chongzhen suddenly remembered something, and even called Wei Zhongxian to give some instructions.

Chapter 44 Secret Negotiation

Shocked to hear that Chongzhen had been assassinated, big shots from all walks of life rushed to the palace to ask for an interview, but were stopped by Wei Zhongxian with a gloomy face.It was stated that Emperor Chongzhen was furious and did not see anyone.

After many courtiers dispersed, a group of bigwigs from the Donglin Party gathered at the home of Zhou Yanru, a minister of the cabinet.

It's just that many big bosses of the Donglin Party don't look too good.

Zhou Yanru said: "Everyone, who arranged for Wang Sheng? How dare you assassinate him in public?"

The others looked at each other, but Hou Xun, the minister of the Ministry of War, said: "The Son of Heaven is cruel, and it is not enough to worship the ancestral temple. It is inevitable that some loyal ministers and righteous men will assassinate Qin out of righteous indignation."

However, Zhou Yanru slapped the table and said angrily: "Stupid! Stupid! Now that man has fallen into the hands of the factory guards. After a lot of torture, what if he bites at random?!"

But Hou Xun said nonchalantly: "Ge Lao is too careful. Wang Sheng was originally a son of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Both his parents died at the hands of Wei Yan. He escaped the catastrophe only because he was studying in the Imperial College. Now he is alone. I wanted to choose an opportunity to assassinate Wei Xie, but unexpectedly, I was stimulated today, so I decided to assassinate him today."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru's face softened a little, and he said again: "The imperial physician on duty today is Chen Renzhong, the imperial physician? Later on, I will send someone to the imperial hospital, and send the old man's calligraphy and painting of Chen Yizhong and Chen Xiang in the former Song Dynasty that I have treasured. go."

After discussing again, they stopped staying any longer and dispersed one after another.

Chongzhen in the harem felt a headache seeing the many women in front of him.

Zhang Yan, the empress of the Tianqi Emperor, had a pretty expression on her face, pointing at Wei Zhongxian and Fang Zhenghua, "Good job, you two slaves! You actually put the emperor in danger! Fortunately, there is nothing serious, or the Ai family would have taken your skin off!" Wei Zhongxian and Fang Zhenghua were so frightened that they knelt down to plead guilty.

Chongzhen's Empress Zhou Shi also had a pretty face, and she was obviously terrified.Although the emperor gave his eldest brother to death, he deserved it, and he never hated the emperor in his heart.Now that the emperor is assassinated, it scares Queen Zhou half to death.

But after looking at Concubine Yuan Gui and Concubine Tian Gui, seeing the two of them crying like pear blossoms with rain, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and shouted angrily: "Enough! Why are you two crying? If you are safe today, I will take your tears away. stand up!"

Chongzhen was upset when Wang Chengen came in to report that the imperial physician Chen Renzhong had come. Chongzhen hurriedly announced the arrival of Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou after they had retreated.
