Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 124 Joint play, persecution!

next day
Early in the morning, it's midnight.

The bells of the court meeting were leisurely and orderly, and the loud and heavy bells echoed throughout the entire imperial city.

All the officials slowly entered the imperial city, preparing for the morning court.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was still slightly dark, and the fiery red Golden Crow had not yet taken off into the sky.

In this autumn season, the nights are longer than summer.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Wang Chengen gently woke up Zhu Youjian who was sleeping soundly.

After a series of tedious preparations for getting up, Zhu Youjian finally embarked on the road to the morning court...

At the end of Mao.

Zhu Youjian's imperial chariot finally arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the upper court.

"His Majesty is here!"

……

After a tedious ceremony, today's morning court finally began.

The officials of Honglu Temple went out of the shift first, and reported to Zhu You the number of officials who had entered Beijing to thank them and left Beijing to resign.

As usual, no see!
I have so much free time every day, so many entertainment activities to enjoy, why should I see you extend your working hours?

stay!See you when I'm bored!

Then came the border report.

Recently, there seems to be a disaster outside the customs, so the Tartars and slaves are so busy that they don't have time to make trouble, so the border has calmed down unexpectedly.

Zhu Youjian passed this passage after listening to it, but he felt a little worried in his heart. Every time something happened to these two forces, they would find Daming to make up for the loss. Maybe this time...

However, immediately Zhu Youjian's eyes became firm, whether you come or not!I am not Zhu Youjian from my previous life, if you dare to come, be prepared to have the hand that I cut off!snort!
After all these were over, it finally came to the most important part of the morning court.

Just listen to the officials of Honglu Temple singing and shouting: "All the officials have something to do! Leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

Zhu Youjian sat up straight and officially entered the working state

The loud singing and drinking of the officials of Honglu Temple sounded out, announcing the beginning of a day's work for all officials today.

It seems that there are extraordinarily many people who want to do something today!
Sitting on the high dragon chair, Zhu Youjian noticed that the officials of Honglu Temple below had just finished singing and drinking, and immediately a large group of officials stepped out. According to Zhu Youjian's reluctant memory, he found that among these officials There are surprisingly many censors!
Some of the other officials are also those who have close contacts with the Donglin Party on weekdays, and who are on Zhu Youjian's focus list!

"Your Majesty! If you have something to do, please join me!"

Before Zhu Youjian could figure out what they wanted to do, all these people stood up and complained in unison.

Looking at the expressions of these people, except for some officials who are quite deep in the city and have kept their faces expressionless, the others are more or less gloating and complacent at him!
What does it mean?
Zhu Youjian thought about it, but he didn't stop, nodded and said: "Quiz!"

Immediately, Zhu Youjian calmed down and watched these officials who stood up quietly to see what they were trying to do.
"Qizou Your Majesty, before we jointly sign the performance, I have something to ask Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please answer!"

A middle-aged official wearing the court uniform of a doctor of the Ministry of Rites stood up first and said to Zhu Youjian.

Although Zhu Youjian was puzzled that they were the ones who started the concert, he still had any questions to ask himself, but since he had said it all, it didn't matter if he could answer it, so he nodded and agreed.

"allow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The official stood up after thanking him, looked directly at Zhu Youjian, and asked loudly: "Please tell me, what is the relationship between Huangming Chamber of Commerce and Your Majesty?!"

Zhu Youjian: "???"

What the hell?Why do you ask this suddenly?
Zhu Youjian was confused when he was asked, but he asked, and he agreed, so he just answered.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian didn't bother to lie. He had already prepared for this matter, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Nodding his head slowly, Zhu Youjian replied: Huangming Chamber of Commerce is a property purchased by His Majesty when he was the King of Xin. He did some small business for the palace to maintain the living expenses of the palace.

"Small seller?! Balanced income and expenditure?! Business is okay?!"

The corners of the middle-aged officials and other officials who knew the situation of the Huangming Chamber of Commerce all twitched uncontrollably.

Your Majesty, won't your conscience hurt when you say these words?
As far as the size of the Huangming Chamber of Commerce is concerned, it is actually just a small business with a balance of payments, and the business is just okay? !
If this is the case for chambers of commerce of that size, what is our family's industry?
Is it a street stall? !

Although you are the emperor, your vision is too high!

The middle-aged official took a few deep breaths before finally swallowing back the fragrant breath he almost blurted out, and cupped his hands to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! The Huangming Chamber of Commerce is not a small business. The scope of business is all over the north and south of my Ming Dynasty, and its scale is among the top ten in my Ming Dynasty. It is said that its annual profit reaches tens of millions of taels. It can be said that it is a large chamber of commerce that is incomparably rich!

Such a chamber of commerce earns innumerable amounts of money from the people every year. From this, one can imagine how many hard-working common people have been squeezed out of their wealth by this chamber of commerce. The small business among the common people is squeezed by this huge Huangming Chamber of Commerce, leaving no room for survival. This Huangming Chamber of Commerce is really a disaster for the country and the people, and it is an improper chamber of commerce that competes with the people for profit!

Here, the ministers and others jointly request to play, please Your Majesty close the Huangming Chamber of Commerce, take all of its property into the national treasury, and promise to the ministers that they will not form similar chambers of commerce again, and make such actions against the holy king!

Only in this way can the people of our Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, Haiqingheyan!
Your Majesty, please think twice!Daming for me!My ancestor Sheji, for my hundreds of millions of Ming people, close the Huangming Chamber of Commerce!Stop competing for profit with the people! "

As soon as the middle-aged official finished speaking, other officials who stood up knelt down and echoed loudly: "Please close the Huangming Chamber of Commerce! Stop competing for profits with the people!"

"Your Majesty, please close the Huangming Chamber of Commerce! Stop competing with the people for profit!"

"Your Majesty, please close the Huangming Chamber of Commerce! Stop competing with the people for profit!"

Important things have to be said three times, and the officials shouted three times in a row to put pressure on Zhu Youjian!

Zhu Youjian's originally calm face had already darkened!
Hurrah!Originally, I thought there was something important about you, so that so many people joined forces to ask for a performance, but I didn't expect it to be directed at me!It's for the silver in my hand!

Moreover, he actually used such an old-fashioned method, trying to kidnap himself with the four words of fighting for fame and fortune!Ah tui!

You think so beautifully!too naive!Childish I blush for you!
Do you really think that I am the one who wants to save face?

Although I really want to save face, it depends on the situation!

At least, in front of Yin Zi, I don't even want my mother's face!Want to grab money from Lao Tzu!dream!

tui!

……

The gloomy Zhu Youjian glanced at the officials standing below one by one with cold eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to tap the armrest of the dragon chair unconsciously with his fingers, sending out a cry in the entire silent court hall. There was a rhythmic beating sound.

Da, da, da, da, da...

And the hearts of the officials below also kept up and down following the rhythm of the knocking sound, one after another...

ps. Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for collection!Ask for investment!Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a reward!Hey hey hey!
Subscribed daily high, there were 95 yesterday, and it almost broke [-], so happy!Hahahahaha!
