Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 289 Guozhang, what do you say when you call me!

"My lord, seeing Nan Shangshu leaving, my servant is not particularly emotional, and even worried." Han Zanzhou cautiously leaned over and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Then what the lord ordered will be..."

"How was it?"

Glancing at Han Zanzhou who was hesitant to speak, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Have you been prevaricated? Don't worry, he won't do that.

The matter of the river channel is very important, and there are many things that I have decided. Even Nanqing needs time to sort it out, and make corresponding arrangements according to our Ming Dynasty's national conditions. "

Unlike the emperors of the Tartar Qing Dynasty, who strictly guarded against the eunuchs and eunuchs around them, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty often relied heavily on the eunuchs and eunuchs around them.

Of course, this will inevitably lead to power eunuchs and interference in government affairs.

Reusing the eunuchs and eunuchs who serve around him is actually a double-edged sword.

Used well, it can consolidate the imperial power.

Used badly, it will cause damage.

Emperor Chongzhen was well aware of this, so he sought a balance between the two to ensure that there were people around him who could use them, without causing power eunuchs to interfere with government affairs.

Take advantage of their foresight to promote loyal, reliable, and capable eunuchs to hold important positions in the inner court, cut off the connection between the inner court and the outer court, effectively help themselves to share the pressure, and truly meet the fundamental needs of generating income for the inner court.

At the same time, multiple power and supervision systems of the East Factory, West Factory, and Inner Factory were established, independent of the Twelve Supervisions, Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus, and institutionally prevented the formation of power eunuchs.

"My lord...something happened."

Wang Chengen frowned, and hurried in from the East Nuan Pavilion, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen, he cupped his hands and said, "The head of the state is Sun Fuyin, please go to the Shuntian government office."

"Is there such a thing?"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and replied, but he secretly said in his heart, this is so good, why did Sun Chuanting invite his stingy father-in-law to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion?

Did that stingy father-in-law do something out of the ordinary?
It must be so!

Thinking of Zhou Guozhang's virtue, Emperor Chongzhen didn't need to think too much, he knew that Sun Chuanting would never invite him to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion for no reason.

"Does the empress know at this time?" Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "What is the reason why Sun Boya wants to invite the father-in-law to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion?"

"The queen doesn't know about this yet." Wang Cheng'en cupped his hands and said, "The reason why the country's father was invited to the Shuntian government office is because the Chongwenmen tax customs found... the country's father..."

"What did you find? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing that Wang Chengen was hesitating, and the Chongwenmen tax customs were involved, the Emperor Chongzhen knew that the stingy father-in-law must have violated the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, and the matter must be serious, otherwise, according to Sun Chuanting's temperament, he would never do this.

"It was discovered that the head of the country dumped private salt, and it was as high as eight thousand stones."

Wang Chengen's heart sank, and he said: "However, Sun Fuyin did not spread the matter, but just invited the father-in-law to his government office for a brief talk."

That's enough! !
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt angry. This time, the stingy father-in-law did too much. At the beginning, he tricked him into selling grain, but he didn't expect how long it took, so he took the initiative to jump into the pit, and it was private. Salt is such a profiteering business.

Or, take this opportunity to seize the opportunity and ask the stingy father-in-law to help him work.

"Clean up, I'm going to leave the palace in modest clothes, don't let the news out."

It is actually very difficult to find a wonderful father-in-law like Zhou Kui, especially if he is a relative of the emperor, so it is even rarer to find.

Thinking of what Zhou Kui did, Emperor Chongzhen felt ridiculous and sad. His son-in-law encountered difficulties and wanted to ask his father-in-law for help, but in the end he was deceived.

Zhou Kui didn't even think about it this week. If Daming was really overthrown, would he, the head of the dynasty, have a good end?

In fact, it did not end well.

The large amount of money and family property that he was holding on to, was finally served by the rogue Da Xing, and all of them were tortured away, or he would die of anger.

This is no one else.

When he came to Shuntian Mansion Yamen, accompanied by Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian, Emperor Chongzhen was in a complicated mood. He never thought that the first time he went out of the palace in disguise, it was actually to plot against his own father-in-law.

But being stingy also has its benefits.

As long as it can be used in the right place, it can often achieve unexpected results.

"Minister...Sun Chuanting, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I am guilty, please Your Majesty..."

"Okay, Sun Qing, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I even want to reward you."

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward to help Sun Chuanting, and said with a slight smile: "You did the right thing, if you don't warn the head of the country this time, then if you let the official censor find out later, you will be really passive.

Wang Banban, go and invite the head of the country. "

"Here!"

Thinking that he was going to plot against his stingy father-in-law next, Emperor Chongzhen's mood was still very delicate.

If it wasn't because of Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen would have ignored such a stingy and self-interested person, and had just looked for a suitable opportunity and sent them to see the emperors and uncles of the Ming Dynasty, and asked them to talk and discuss with each other. The deeds of the emperor's son-in-law or emperor's brother-in-law.

Daming's restrictions on the influence of foreign relatives are unprecedented.

Perhaps if she survived to the empress dowager's honor, and when the emperor was young, the empress dowager's power would be much greater, but the influence of her relatives would cause relatively little harm.

"Your Majesty! The old minister will almost never see you and the queen!"

Zhou Kui, who was led by Wang Chengen to the main hall, saw the Emperor Chongzhen, and complained sadly: "This Sun Chuanting pretended to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and unexpectedly arrested the old minister in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion in public. He didn't care about the face of the royal family. Regardless of the prestige of the country.

Where did the old minister meet..."

Listening to Zhou Kui's repeated complaints, Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent and ignored him at all, while Sun Chuanting, who was standing beside Hou, just stood there quietly.

In terms of the ability to fight back, no one can compare to the stingy Guozhang.

"Enough, don't you feel ashamed?!"

Seeing Zhou Kui talking endlessly, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "Master, how do you tell me to say you are good?! Are the things you said true?

Selling private salt!

This time, Sun Qing was asked to press down, and eight thousand shi was returned. If the speech officer of the Guochao, Yushi, knew about this matter, I'm afraid that at this time, I will not be in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to see the head of the country.

At that time, I should go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet the head of the country on behalf of the queen! ! "

"Your Majesty... Veteran..."

Having been punctured by Emperor Chongzhen in public, Zhou Kui was stunned. Fear arose in his heart, and he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. The cold and stern eyes of Emperor Chongzhen made him Trembling uncontrollably.
