558 I just made fun of you
As the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he knew that the emperor was indeed a little capable. Just that magical Heavenly Secret Spy could not understand.
But the emperor was a little impatient to revive the Ming Dynasty and achieved a little success, so he thought about eating a fat man in one bite. Haha, he was not allowed to plot against Hetao, but he could only sit in the Forbidden City and take it for granted.
The grassland is not as vast as the pass, it is endless. If you want to repel the Mongols, you can defeat them, but if you want to defeat them, you will be a dream! If you go to less people, you will feed the wolf on the grassland. But if you go too much, you will run away long ago and you will be able to drag you to death!
It is best to rush to go to the grassland to fight, which will easily lead to a defeat. In this way, it will be easier to make a statement than the previous Liaodong war. Then it is a foregone conclusion that Xue Guoguan was overturned first.
Then, Wen Tiren, who recommended Xue Guoguan to join the cabinet, was his next goal. He was originally worried that the emperor would protect him, but now it seems, haha!
However, many cabinet assistants were recommended by Wen Tiren. If they counterattack, they would not be underestimated. It is best to inquire about the news from Qin and Jin and then launch the next plan!
Thinking of this, he made a decision, admired a box of brand new banknotes for a while, and finally put them back in place and left the study.
In the harem of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was on the side of Empress Zhou that night. After a lot of fun, Empress Zhou lay in Emperor Chongzhen's arms and suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something to do. It's really hard to say because of the ancestral teachings. But if I don't say it, it's like a thorn in my throat, and it's really a dilemma!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he reached out and raised Queen Zhou's chin, looked at her sad face and said, "Since it is the ancestral teaching, what else are you talking about?"
"..." Empress Zhou thought the emperor would agree to her words, but unexpectedly, she was stunned. After a while, she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I know!"
"What do you know!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I was just teasing you. If you have any questions, just talk about it. Be careful to get sick if you hold it in your heart!"
When Empress Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but look like a daughter. She gave Emperor Chongzhen a blank look. Then she listened to Emperor Chongzhen's heartbeat and said gently and seriously: "I know that the court needs money very much, but it's enough to have a balance in everything. Good people will never maliciously arrears the court's taxes. They really have to owe them. If the court doesn't care about it, all the taxes arrears will have to be recovered. I don't know how many households will be destroyed..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, as long as he was not stupid, he understood what Empress Zhou was saying. He was not angry, but just said "um" lightly.
"Your Majesty, you see, the imperial court had already assigned additional Liao salary for the establishment of Liaodong before..." When Empress Zhou talked about this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered, yes, there was Liao salary, and he accidentally forgot about this matter!
"...Your Majesty, in short, I want to see the day when my Ming Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe and prosperous, and all the nations come to pay tribute. But I am really worried that too much is too much, and hasteness will not be achieved!"
After hearing her, Emperor Chongzhen asked lightly: "Is this your own idea or is it that someone else asked you to blow the wind beside me?"
When Empress Zhou's face changed, she knelt up from Emperor Chongzhen's arms and said to Emperor Chongzhen seriously: "Your Majesty, the city has been stormy and rainy outside, and it is hard for me to think about it. What I just said is just my worries!"
Emperor Chongzhen stared at her for a while, and suddenly said, "The beloved concubine has been exposed!"
When Queen Zhou heard this, she was a little stunned, but then she understood what the emperor meant. Her face turned red and she quickly lay back into Emperor Chongzhen's arms and wrapped herself tightly with a thin quilt.
"Don't worry, Empress, Mr. Xue is responsible for pursuing his owed taxes. As for the kind people? Haha, the queen doesn't know what's happening outside, so she doesn't have to send them a good person card." Emperor Chongzhen hugged Empress Zhou and said with emotion, "I already know this, and the result will be seen in a few days. At that time, the queen will understand."
Queen Zhou was confused and didn't understand what the emperor was saying. However, she finally said what she wanted to say, but she was unhappy when she saw the emperor, so she felt at ease.
After a while, Empress Zhou fell asleep. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not fall asleep. He still followed his habits and went to the chat group to check the situation before going to bed.
What surprised him was that in addition to the news from the grassland, Wen Tiren actually sent him a private chat: "Your Majesty, I have never dared to forget my oath. I only wish to have more time to break through the wind and waves, wish the waves are calm, wish the granaries are full, and wish all nations come to pay tribute!"
"Haha, this old guy, are you afraid that he can't bear the pressure, so he took him out to take the blame?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but say in a funny way after reading it.
He remembered Wen Tiren's oath clearly and devoted himself to his life until his death! For this reason, he made a series of plans imitating Song Dynasty, including tax collection, commercial tax collection, maritime ban, etc. However, these things have great difficulties. Even if he was the emperor who supported him, he was worried. Now he heard the public opinion in the capital, he was under great pressure!
Emperor Chongzhen was still very satisfied with the prime minister Wen Tiren, and the matter of opening the sea ban was promoted by him. Xue Guoguan was able to do offends so seriously, and he was also responsible for the prime minister. What's more, there are other things that the prime minister is worried about and can satisfy himself.
Since the end of last year, we first repelled the Jianlu who invaded the capital, and then searched the Shanxi merchants on a large scale, liquidated the backers of the Shanxi merchants in the court, etc. This series of things can be said to be very fierce, and I was very strong at that time, which made people unable to object.
Now, those vested interests have come back to their senses and start to secretly make trouble. It can be foreseeable that even if they are destroyed this time, there will still be continuous rioters in the future. So come on, I am the emperor and I have the golden fingers, I am afraid that you birds will not succeed!
Emperor Chongzhen thought happily in his heart, so he privately chatted with Wen Tiren and said, "Wen Qing, I will show you something!"
The group owner chatted about past information privately, and the system would irresponsibly arouse the other party as soon as possible, so Wen Tiren immediately responded: "Your Majesty, my heart..."
Emperor Chongzhen confessed his love again, and sent the panoramic photo of the victory in Guihua City, and then found out the results summarized by Li Dingguo at that time and sent them to Wen Tiren.
After sending this, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "I have known the intention of the capital's speeches for a long time, just waiting for the day when the good news comes!"
"..." Wen Tiren was stunned for a while before replying, "Your Majesty is really the leader of the revival of the Ming Dynasty! I am very lucky, I am very lucky!"
