Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 15: It’s always fun to confiscate homes
Zhu Tianqi began to settle the accounts for the eunuchs and related personnel. The first person to be dealt with was a seemingly insignificant woman who played a key role in Wei Zhongxian's "route to rise" - Hakka.

As Wei Zhongxian's partner, the Ke family must have received Wei Zhongxian's instruction. Just two days ago, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace to resign, and after testing herself, she also came to resign and return home in person, but Zhu Tianqi didn't see her, just declined. He said he was feeling unwell and no one saw him.

Even if Zhu Tianqi doesn't see her, he still knows what she is here for. He doesn't want to waste words with the poisonous woman Hakka. He is not Zhu Youxiao and has no friendship with her. Zhu Tianqi only knows that this poisonous woman killed her. Many princes, princesses, and concubines were harmed by her, so he would not accept his resignation or let her go.

In the "battle" with the eunuchs, Zhu Tianqi neither accepted surrender nor took prisoners. The mistakes they made were recorded in the history books one by one, and no one could erase them. Only death awaited them.

After all, Hakka was Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse. Therefore, in order to protect his face as the emperor, he could not be dragged out for public execution like Wei Zhongxian, but he could not spare her so easily. After thinking about it, Zhu Tianqi directly The Hakka family was sent to the Queen, who hated her so much that letting the Queen deal with her was definitely the best "end" for her!
Next are the family members of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing and Hakka's son Hou Guoxing. Both of them relied on the influence of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family to gain power.

Among them, Wei Liangqing is the most hateful, a useless snack who doesn't understand a thing. He turned out to be the biggest beneficiary of last year's Ningyuan victory and this year's Ningjin victory.

On the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan, who worked hard on the front line, only received the reward of "upgrading to one level and receiving 30 taels of silver" and the impeachment of the Yushi Yanguan, which made Yuan Chonghuan so angry that he resigned!
And I heard that when he was critically ill, Wei Zhongxian wanted Wei Liangqing's son to pretend to be the prince and succeed him. Therefore, it would be too cheap for Wei Liangqing to receive only one knife. Zhu Tianqi planned to give him a super double and chop him into pieces!
After taking care of their families, it was the turn of Wei Zhongxian's party members. First of all, there were the famous "Five Tigers" and "Five Biaos" under him. The "Five Tigers" were five civil servants. The first one was Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War. However, He has been dismissed from his post and questioned, and he will be beheaded and his house will be confiscated to go through the process!

The next four are Tian Ji, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Chunfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Wenhuan, the minister of Taichang Temple, and Li Xielong, the deputy censor of the capital. They all asked about the process of beheading and confiscating their homes!

The five soldiers are military attachés, namely: Tian Ergeng, the left governor, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Cui Yingyuan, the commander's fellow commander, Sun Yunhe, the right commander, and Yang Huan, the Jinyiwei commander. Keep beheading, copying and copying!

What?You said that the emperor was too arbitrary in what he did. After all, Ming Dynasty was a legal society, and one had to try everything before judging!
At that time, Chongzhen asked the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervisory Yuan to review the case before taking action. However, it turned out that it was impossible to talk to these criminals about the legal system, because Su Maoxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Cao Sicheng, the Yushi Zuodu Yushi of the Imperial Procuratorate, were eunuchs. , let the eunuch party review the eunuch party, how about playing?

Therefore, by taking advantage of the prestige he had just established by overthrowing Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Tianqi became dictatorial. Moreover, he was punishing the eunuch party. The more violent the punishment, the more the Donglin Party members applauded, and who could replace him? Are they reasonable?

Also punished at the same time were the four eunuchs of Si Li Jian, Wang Tiqian, the eunuch who held the seal, and Li Yongzhen, Li Chaoqin and Liu Ruoyu, the eunuchs who held the pen. Except for Wang Tiqian's life, they were all destroyed and their property was confiscated!
Within a few days, nearly [-] officials, big and small, were dismissed, shocking both the government and the public!

The busiest person during this period is Zhu Youjian. He is now searching homes day and night, and everyone is haggard. After all, searching homes used to be a very lucrative job. The more he worked, the more energetic he became. But now it is different. Dare to look, don’t dare to take it!
However, although Zhu Tianqi has been making money every day recently, with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver coming in every day, he is not happy anymore because he has discovered a new problem, and it is also a life-threatening problem - he Lifespan stopped growing!

Although Zhu Tianqi worked very hard to maintain his health, his lifespan stopped increasing when it reached about 17 years and seven months. No matter how much he exercised, took supplements, or even the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors was extremely effective. Even the best decoctions no longer work.Zhu Tianqi was really anxious this time. He was so anxious that he didn't even think about food. Even if he turned to the system for help, he found that the system did not seem to have "artificial intelligence" and could not help him solve his doubts.

In the end, Zhu Tianqi found the answer in the history books - on March 17, the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Meishan!

That is to say, if the crisis facing the Ming Dynasty cannot be resolved, the Ming Dynasty will only have the last 17 years of life left, and as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is the same. , will be myself!

"Are you kidding me? I'm not immortal yet. Why don't you give me a countdown to death first?"

Zhu Tianqi realized that he no longer had time to slowly play the "management game" here. He must act as soon as possible to nip the crisis facing the Ming Dynasty in the cradle!
There have always been different opinions on the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the three most commonly mentioned reasons are internal and external troubles, constant natural disasters and financial crisis.

Internal and external troubles naturally refer to the Liaodong crisis and the peasant uprising in the Central Plains. Regarding this point, Zhu Tianqi believes that the Houjin forces at this time are not yet strong enough to be invincible. Today, the Guanningjin defense line is still intact. As long as the people are employed properly, With everyone working together, it is only a matter of time before the Liaodong crisis is resolved.

As for the peasant uprising in the Central Plains, it has not started yet, and I still have a chance to avoid it.

When talking about the peasant uprising, we have to talk about the natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty. The late Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were successive droughts in various places. The people at the bottom could no longer survive, so naturally they had no choice but to take risks and rise up!

However, Zhu Tianqi believes that natural disasters will never be the main reason for the collapse of a dynasty. There have been times when natural disasters occurred intensively in all dynasties, but as long as the rulers can give the people some way to survive, the people will not rebel.

The people in this land are very easy to feed. They don't ask for enough food or warm clothes. They just want to be able to eat a mouthful of food and not starve to death. However, it is obvious that the court did not even give them a chance to survive. !

As for the financial crisis, Zhu Tianqi currently has plenty of money. The total cash recovered from house raids is nearly 3000 million taels. However, he still has to be prepared for danger in times of peace and quickly find new ways to make money before all the money is spent!
Zhu Tianqi picked up a pen and wrote four words on the paper: "Reorganize the army and stabilize the people"!
