Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 296

"Master, it's almost time, get up quickly." Yang Xue, who had already put on her clothes, sat by the bed and began to call.

"Ah."

"Don't hmm, master, it's time for you to go to court." Yang Xue couldn't help but said anxiously when she saw that the master just hmmed but didn't move.

I heard from my sister before that the most difficult thing is to get the master to get up and go to bed, but now it seems that this is really the case.

"Ah."

"Get up soon."

"Yeah." Liu Hongjian turned over and turned his butt to Yang Xue, with the quilt still between his legs.

There was a crisp sound.

Ah——Liu Hongjian sat down on the bed in shock.

"You girl is becoming more and more lawless. How dare you spank my master's ass. I don't know how to serve you!" Liu Hongjian was confused for a while before he understood the situation.

"Master, the concubine can't help it. How long has it been? Master, you should go to court quickly, and when you come back...then execute the family law for Xue'er."

"Hmph, let me spare you, I don't see if I don't clean you up at night, so hurry up and help me get dressed, what time is it, I'm going to be late again..."

……

March 29, morning, Huangji Gate.

The sky had just dawned slightly, and Chongzhen sat on the throne and listened to the government, while the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in turn.

"All the ministers are going to do something!" Li Yunkui, the eunuch who was in charge of the official seal, shouted.

"Chen Kai, the right servant of the minister's household department, has something to announce."

"You are not allowed to discuss the matter of rewards and punishments in border towns. Let's talk, ahem." Chongzhen has been annoyed by these people for the past few days.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the ancients have a saying that good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for the ears. I have read the books of sages for decades, so even if your majesty doesn't like to hear it, I still want to say it.

This is a joint memorandum written by the Procuratorate, the Sixth Ministry, the Imperial Academy, the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing, and the three ministers. The ministers and others thought that the rewards for the military exploits of the border towns were too great, and they should be discussed in the long run. "

Chen Kai, the right servant of the household department, lowered his head, took out a memorial from his waist and presented it with both hands.

"Bold! Official memorials are handed over from the Secretary of General Administration to the Supervisor of Rituals before they can be submitted to the Holy Majesty. You are the servant of the court, don't you know this system?" Before Chongzhen could speak, Li Yunkui criticized first.

"Hmph, of course the ministers know, but if this memorial is handed over to the Secretary of the General Administration, it will not be submitted to the Holy Majesty at all." Chen Kai twisted his head to express his dissatisfaction.

Whether it is the Secretary of the General Administration, the Supervisor of Rituals, or the Cabinet, in their opinion, they are all extremely unreliable.

The paper-pasted cabinet and the wax-like first assistant are nicknames given to cabinet members by many lower-level officials in private, including the subordinates of the Six Ministries, who object to the actions of their immediate superiors.

In their view, these court elders have all fallen, willing to give up their principles for the black yarn on their heads and the power in their hands.

But they can't do anything about it. Now that the entire cabinet is obeying the orders of the emperor, they can only do this, hoping that Chongzhen can understand their "children" hearts.

"The supervisor of ceremonies did not dare to detain the memorials that you have submitted, and I have seen most of them. Chen Aiqing should step down, and there is no need to discuss this matter again!" Chongzhen said this to save face for the ministers below.

In fact, there are three boxes full of memorials these days, and even the magistrates from all over the country are just joining in the fun, but he didn't read these memorials at all, and kept them all unpublished.

Although the reward silver in Bianzhen is a bit more, um, it is indeed a lot, which is about the annual income of Daming in [-].

But isn't there still more than 6000 million taels in the treasury?I don't even feel sorry for you, but you guys jumped out to make trouble?

"I remonstrate with death! Your Majesty, please take it back!" Chen Kai became anxious when he heard that Chongzhen was going to ignore it again.

This is not just a matter of money, it is a matter of the status of their civil servants. Such a large reward even exceeds their salaries, which is simply unreasonable.

These students, who have gone through a ten-year cold window, end up earning less than the soldiers in the border town. This is simply absurd. It is an insult to their civil servants and a challenge to their status as civil servants.

It is impossible for the generals to take the lead so as to overwhelm them!

"I'm waiting to die!" Kneeling down behind him, only a few old men in the cabinet, some military officers who didn't dare to say anything, and a few idle officials were left.

"Presumptuous! Are you all going to oppose me? Cough, cough—" Chongzhen coughed angrily, and Li Yunkui next to him immediately went down to bring a bowl of black soup.

Chongzhen drank it all in one gulp, and he got better just now.

Such scenes, although Chongzhen has been in power for nearly 20 years, are rare.

After all, for more than 200 years, all ministers have followed the cabinet, but now all officials are against the cabinet and are colluding.

If these officials are against me, the entire Ming Dynasty cannot be managed by the cabinet alone...

Chongzhen sat on the throne in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, if they want to kneel, let them kneel!" A high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the gate of Huangji.

"See you, Marquis An Guo!" A man from the Yellow Gate shouted out his voice at this moment.

An Guohou is here?An Guohou is here!
"Hurry up and announce!" The biggest ally came, and Chongzhen immediately looked happy. He hadn't seen this kid for a month, and he didn't say anything when he came back.

On the contrary, the faces of the officials all turned down, the master is here!
Who is the culprit of all this? The kneeling ministers are as clear as a mirror. It is not so much that they are against the cabinet and the Holy Majesty, it is better to say that they are against An Guohou!
"Chen An Guohou kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor..."

"Liu Aiqing is free from courtesy!" Liu Hongjian only talked about it, and before he even made a move, Chongzhen said.

Since it was too late last night, Liu Hongjian's return to Beijing did not disturb the palace, so it was a big surprise for Chongzhen and the court.

Look at this holy family?Look at you again?Standing in the train, Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sneered at many officials who were kneeling on the ground.

"I heard that your colleagues have different opinions on the rewards for the soldiers of the frontier army?" Liu Hongjian asked in front of the hall dressed in purple.

"Yes, the imperial court has rewarded the frontier army too much. It has never happened in our dynasty for more than [-] years. This case cannot be opened, so..."

"I don't understand. When the court was in crisis, I didn't see you stand up and be loyal to the country. The frontier army swore to defend Daming to the death, keep your glory and wealth, let you eat safely and sleep soundly.

Now because of a little reward, you jump out and criticize, do you still have any sense of shame? "

Liu Hongjian scolded the household servant in charge.

"An Guohou, you are humiliated..."

"You you you, you what you?

Have you ever eaten black corn bread?Do you spend the night on the Great Wall where the dripping water turns into ice?

Have you ever been on a battlefield?Have you ever seen what is called a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

Just to protect you idiots, how many soldiers died outside the icy pass, how many soldiers endured torture with their limbs broken...

You rotten Confucians who only know everything!
If there is a loss in the border town, you are afraid that you will have to jump higher. When Da Ming was in danger, you kept silent, but now that Da Ming is safe, you jumped out to find trouble again.

Could it be that you don't want Daming to be safe?

What is your intention?

What's the use of your Majesty wanting you? "
