Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

When you go back this time, take a hundred households with you. After sending these prisoners to Mao Wenlong, you will take them back to enrich the Jinyiwei in Liaodong.

This time, the official has also been promoted and the manpower is also available. Can Wang Qianhu have the confidence to play a role in Liaodong? "

Hearing this, Wang Xuanji hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the governor, I will definitely strengthen Jinyiwei's activities in Liaodong, and strive to find out which little girl is lucky to be in Huangtai Jinagou Jiannu at night, and I will definitely not fall into the name of Jinyiwei! "

When he came out from Xu Xianchun's place, Wang Xuanji thought happily as he walked: "I'm so dignified, I can't kneel on the washboard anymore! Besides, I'm going to Liaodong, how could that girl be willing to let me go?" I kneel?"

Chapter 59 Mouthpiece

Jin Yiwei's prison has always been divided into internal and external.If ordinary officials commit crimes or gangsters that cannot be controlled by other local governments, they are usually only locked up in outer prisons.As for the inner prison, it has not been used for many years.Only those who can't see the light are imprisoned there.

In fact, it is a prison, but it is much better than ordinary prison cells, and it can even be called spacious and bright.

It's just that tonight, the imperial prison is brightly lit, and although there is no one making noise in the inner prison, the lights are even better than the outer prison.

In the No. A cell of the Inner Prison, there was a person kneeling on the ground, but it was the censor Chen Mo who had been skinned.Outside the prison cell was Emperor Chongzhen who had been served here by Bailongyu.

Chongzhen looked at the lifeless Chen Mo in the prison, frowned and said, "Chen Buyan, do you want to die? Or do you want to live?"

Chen Mo heard the words, but he walked forward on his knees, rushed straight to the prison door, and hissed: "Your Majesty! I know I was wrong. I want to live, I want to live! I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Chongzhen sneered and said, "Of course I wouldn't want you to die. Otherwise, you would have been with Huang Liji long ago, so why would I order someone to replace you with a death row prisoner?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo just kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your majesty's kindness, I will definitely change my past mistakes so that I can serve your majesty."

Chongzhen nodded, without comment, and continued: "Your family members were sent to Nanjing halfway by the Jinyiwei, and since then they have been anonymous, so naturally they have no worries about food and clothing."

As soon as Chen Mo heard this, he understood a little bit in his heart.Since the empty man can do well, he will probably die of old age in the inner prison.

However, Chen Mo didn't care.I was originally a person who was destined to die, and my family had to flee far away to Lingnan. Now that my family has gone to Nanjing, it is a fluke to survive and save myself from death. I dare not ask for more.Just thinking about the pair of beautiful and well-behaved twin daughters at home, I don't know which bastard is going to be cheaper.

Chongzhen watched Chen Mo's face change back and forth, and also guessed his thoughts, and said immediately: "Don't worry that you will die here. If you finish what I told you, after ten years, you can Go home and reunite with your wife and children. If you behave well, it is not impossible to let you go out in advance to become a rich man."

Chen Mo raised his head in disbelief, looked straight at Chongzhen and asked, "Your Majesty's words are serious?" Suddenly, he remembered that looking directly at the king was a disrespect before him, which could be regarded as a crime of disrespect in a big way. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is sorry for your disrespect."

Chongzhen didn't care about this at all, and continued: "A Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi, I think he still has some skills. I will entrust this matter to you, so you can't mess it up. Otherwise, you are better dead than alive happy."

Chen Mo felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he knelt down tightly on the ground and remained silent.

Chongzhen looked at Chen Mo's appearance, and was satisfied with Chen Mo's performance, so he continued: "I want to run a publication similar to the Dibao, which will be published every half a month. It will record the policies, trends, and words and deeds of the imperial court. As well as remarks that are beneficial to the country, market trends and anecdotes, do you understand?"

However, Chen Mo asked: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it's just an external matter, and the guilty minister is in prison, don't you know?"

Chongzhen said: "It's okay, of course Jin Yiwei will send it to you. They will tell you what to say and what not to say."

After hearing this, Chen Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what is the name of this thing?"

Chongzhen said: "Chongzhen's year name has been established, so this thing is called "Chongzhen Half Monthly Newsletter", which is sent to the whole country like the residence newspaper.

It's just a little different from Di Bao, but everyone can buy this magazine, no matter whether it's a scholar, a businessman, or a businessman, everyone can have a copy.Therefore, you need to pay more attention to how to write straightforward and easy to understand.

In the past few days, Zhenhui has found a reason to arrest some corrupt people to accompany you, and then you will lead them to do things well.

After each issue is completed, it will be handed over to Jinyiwei and submitted to the Rites Supervisor for approval, and then it will be published nationwide. "

Chen Mo heard the words, and asked again: "Your Majesty, is there any taboo on this thing?"

Chongzhen said: "Firstly, I don't like scholars discussing government affairs, and secondly, I don't like merchants avoiding taxes. Anyone who says this, let it go. You can screen out any problematic remarks in the market and hand them over to Jinyiwei, and someone will naturally deal with them." .”

Hearing this, Chen Mo probably had a direction in his mind, so he kowtowed and saluted: "The guilty minister is under orders, and I will definitely do my best for His Majesty."

Seeing that Chen Mofu understood his meaning, Chongzhen left the inner prison, only Chen Mo was left in the ecstasy.

For Chongzhen, although Donglin Academy was demolished, the strange Donglin Party still exists.The product of the collusion between scholars and businessmen, one trigger affects the whole body, and in the end there is basically nothing that this monster dare not do.

If you want to abolish this monster from the root, you can't do it without a thorough critique.The problem is that it is simply unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty to reverse the hole.Since Liu Yezhu ousted Baijia, the Kong family shop has grown bigger and bigger, and all the scholars in the world are his disciples and grandchildren. If you hate the Kong family, you really only have the factory guard left.

For now, since he can't move, he might as well fight with them.There has been a wave of promoting craftsmen before, and now they get a newspaper to compete with them in the public opinion market, no matter how much, if one out of a hundred scholars in any school falls for him, that is a victory.

Besides, Chongzhen has always believed that his base is mud legs, not those merchants and scholars. At present, he just can't do without these people. Doesn't that mean you just take it apart?

Besides, I wouldn't be so foolish as to think that the Chongzhen semi-monthly newspaper alone would be able to piss off these scholars, and I could get another Daming Daily in the open.

Why are those scholars so awesome?Isn't it because they have the right to speak?This newspaper is the first step to compete with them for the right to speak!

As for the problem of illiteracy, that's easy to handle.Isn't it enough to send people from all over the country to read it?With so many people in the Ming Dynasty, is there still a shortage of literate people?There are always those old boys who failed the imperial examination. Give them a salary, even if it is the same salary as the courier brother Li?Now that I don't owe them salaries, and I don't abolish the establishment, I guess Brother Li won't rebel, right?

Thinking of Brother Li, Chongzhen started to have a headache again.After the new year, it will be the first year of Chongzhen. By then, droughts and floods will continue in various places. Even if you don't lack money, where will you get the food?Although the money is good, but this crap can't fill your stomach.

Since he couldn't think of any good solution, Chongzhen didn't think about it at all, but just thought about sneaking out of the palace after the Tianchao meeting - this is my country.

Chapter 60 Folding

Chongzhen felt that he could not always stay in the palace.Later generations have lived in the house for many years, and now there is no Internet, no 1024, no Zhanshoumao, and no second-hand stuff, so he doesn't want to live in the house anymore.

Of course, at this stage, Chongzhen can't go out as much as Kang Mazi or the old man Shiquan, so he can only move around at the door of his house—or to say the backyard, in the big front yard.After all, the entire Forbidden City is his home, but no one asked him to collect tickets.

Chongzhen was wearing a blue gown, shaking a erotic fan in his hand, opening it for a glance and then closing it from time to time, although it was already winter, but the coquettish and cheap smile on his face could not be concealed. No matter how you look at it, you look like a prodigal son.

As for Fang Zhenghua, some beards were stuck on his beardless face, which made him look a little funny.As for Wang Chengen, he still pretended to be the butler the same as when he slipped out of the palace last time.

Along the way, Wang Chengen kept saying: "Master, let's just go out and play, it's better to go home earlier. It's not that the old slave talks too much. What you can have outside, you can have at home. Why bother to come out and suffer?" What about freezing?"

How could Chongzhen, who finally made a fuss, listen?The last time I came out was to watch Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to collect protection fees, this time I really came out to play.

Chongzhen was annoyed by the nagging, so he simply said: "Okay, okay, don't say a few words and no one will treat you as a dumb, and we will go back when it's almost done. By the way, what fun is there outside today? Is there a temple fair or something like that?" Go shopping?"

Even though Wang Chengen was unwilling in every possible way, he had no choice but to signal Wei Liangqing, the head of Jinyiwei who was pretending to be a guard, to come and answer.

Who is Wei Liangqing?That's Wei Zhongxian's son, he was told by Wei Zhongxian, he knew that the emperor is not easy to fool, and now he has gained the position of commander of Jin Yiwei, even if he can't compare with Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun. , but the commander in charge of the emperor's guard of honor and guards in Jinyiwei is not something anyone can do.

Wei Liangqing was used to messing around outside the palace, and was very familiar with the situation in the capital, so he said cautiously right now: "Master, why don't we go to Dongyue Temple for a walk?"

Chongzhen thought for a while, anyway, there is nothing left and right, so it is better to go farther away.

It's just that after arriving at Dongyue Temple, before going in to watch the temple fair, Chongzhen's anger was provoked again.

On the open space in front of the gate of Dongyue Temple, there are stalls selling snacks and small things on the left and right sides, interspersed with a few fortune tellers' stalls, and even a few monks here for alms.

If there were only these, it is estimated that Chongzhen would go back to the palace to find Queen Zhou just after taking a stroll and eating some snacks that he had never eaten before.It's just that another group of people I saw in front of me caught Chongzhen's attention.

Among the bustling crowd in front of him, there were a few scantily clad children around the age of eight or nine begging.

If it's just that, it's fine, just kill a few bastards from the nursing home later, but looking at these children, it's clear that someone did it on purpose.

Among the six or seven children, some had their hands and arms severed at the root, some lost their feet, some had legs and hands, but they were twisted into extremely weird angles, and some were even more cruel. The mouth and nose were also cut off.Several children, none of them are in good health.

Although the children with legs were shivering from the cold, they knelt down and kowtowed when they saw people. If they had no legs, they moved on the ground and called out: "Please take pity on me, sir."
