Daming wolf ride

Chongzhen's words were already very sharp, and they were facts, which could be refuted, and now all the officials dared not answer. "There is a ghost in your heart" I have said it all, but I can imagine how angry the emperor is now, if he doesn't know the meaning again, he may be burned himself.Taking a step back for the time being, the law does not blame the public. With so many people, the emperor may not be looking for trouble only for himself, but if he wants to jump forward at this juncture, he really can't think about it.

Chongzhen felt relieved when the ministers were criticized by him, but when he mentioned loyal ministers, he thought of another person, looked down, and asked, "I asked Liu Mao to come too, has Liu Mao come?"

Hearing his name mentioned earlier, Liu Mao, who was standing at the gate of the palace, hurried out and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Seeing Liu Mao coming to the front, Chongzhen nodded slightly, cleared his throat, and said to the officials: "Last year, Liu Mao went to cut down the post station, and I approved it. The Ministry of Household newspaper said that a total of 68 taels of festival silver was cut. , This credit is not small. Liu Mao has always been hardworking, and this time he has made a contribution, and I want to record the excellent promotion, but he has to resign and beg for rest. Liu Mao, tell me why you resigned."

"Your Majesty!" Being praised and rewarded by the emperor in front of all the officials, Liu Mao was not excited, but whispered there, "The reason for the minister's begging to retire has been mentioned in the booklet."[

"I want you to tell them." Chongzhen nodded to Liu Mao with encouraging eyes.

Only then did Liu Mao understand why the Son of Heaven wanted him, a member of the seventh rank, to come to the court, but he still didn't dare to raise his voice, and only whispered there: "I have ordered the post to govern the post, and it is stipulated that the post office officials are not allowed to ask for long cases. The yamen are not willing to take over their husbands and horses, the state and county officials are not allowed to steal their husbands and horses privately, the Taoist government halls are not allowed to abuse them, and the caresses are not allowed to make private mistakes. They have to implement the decree. Farmer."

"Have you heard that? All officials, big and small, benefit from it, but the common people don't agree with it. Of course you have to hide these disadvantages from me, and of course you don't want me to send a supervisory army! Are you right?"

Chongzhen, who was a little more resentful, looked at the quiet officials and suddenly sighed softly, then looked at Liu Mao, "Today, I want to let all the ministers and workers know that it was I who asked Liu Mao to cut the post, so you can blame me! If you are not convinced, give me a discount! Liu Mao, I know that you are thankless and full of grievances, so I want an excellent award. Don't mention the matter of begging for a divorce, I won't approve it."

As soon as he heard that the emperor would not allow him to beg for a rest, Liu Mao was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am doing my duty for the country, so why do you say I am wronged? I am begging for a rest because I am ill and cannot support you. It is difficult to share your worries with Your Majesty."

In fact, Liu Mao really didn't want to beg for rest because of grievances, but because he saw the adverse consequences of abolishing the station.Post officials rely on water, boats and carts to support their families, and suddenly lost their livelihood. The land of Qin and Jin Dynasties was already barren, and natural disasters added. Shaoyuan, the postman, heard that there was a postman named Li Zicheng who was known as the "breakthrough general" among the thieves.

The abolition of the post station turned the post pawn upside down, which Liu Mao had not expected before.Although the banditry has not become a big deal now, the imperial court has dealt with it effectively, and there are good news from various places from time to time, but after a long time, someone will definitely bring up the matter of those rebellious postmen, and the abolition of the post station offended the world. How could they not sue if their cheap rights were compromised.Everyone's mouth melts their gold, and their bones are destroyed. Although it is the emperor's fault, sooner or later the emperor will have to use him as a scapegoat.It is better to beg for a rest now than to be sent to prison to be punished at that time, so as not to take the blame in the future.

Liu Mao begged to rest again. Chongzhen didn't know what the real reason was. He only thought that Liu Mao felt that it was not good for him to be up and down in the court.He also felt emotional in his heart, that the emperor himself could not protect his loyal courtiers.Of course he can insist on staying, but Liu Mao's matter is not very important after all, the most urgent task at the moment is to suppress the arrogance of the foreign court, and prevent them from having any further disputes about the inner minister's supervision of the army.If you get entangled in Liu Mao's matter, I'm afraid there will be more side issues.Strike while the iron is hot, and take advantage of the fact that the officials are afraid to speak now, so they finish the matter thoroughly.Compared with this major event, Liu Mao's matter is really in no hurry, so he nodded and agreed: "That's fine, since you are sick, please take care of me for a while, and wait for me to call you." After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Official, his eyes fell on Zhou Yanru's face intentionally, "There are many people who deceive me from the outer dynasty, and I have no choice but to use my ministers. You should also understand my difficulties. You don't have to worry about the matter of the ministers supervising the army." Let’s talk about it again. When the internal and external affairs are smooth, I will abolish it.”

He Ruchong, who was kneeling there, heard that the secret path was not good, if he just let it go, wouldn't it be futile?Such a big move will be beaten after a summons. In the future, the words of the courtiers will be worse than loud farts. Wouldn't the inner court even want to kick their noses in the face!

But he didn't dare to make up his own mind, and quietly turned his face to ask Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru nodded without hesitation with a dark face, and made a pre-agreed secret signal. "Your Majesty, the inner and outer ministers are all His Majesty's ministers, so they are naturally sent by the Holy Majesty. It's just that your Majesty has read the past and present, and has seen a precedent for the inner ministers to discuss the former ministers? From now on, the courtiers hold their hands and hold their breath. Is it appropriate for the Holy Dynasty? Your Majesty, please depose Wang Kun immediately, and don't let the ministers lightly discuss the government, so as to avoid disaster and poverty!"

He Ruchong and Wang Zhidao, the censor of the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate followed closely behind and said: "Your Majesty's appointment of ministers is nothing more than money, food, soldiers, horses and materials. Originally, the right to appraise officials was never granted, but recently the ministers Participating in impeachment of court officials has become more and more frequent, and the scope of impeachment is gradually widening, internally rectifying the six departments of science and Taoism, externally rectifying local governors, and now it is rectifying the auxiliary ministers."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhidao glanced at He Ruchong again, hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "The actions of the ministers are almost as good as holding the emperor's key, but the former ministers dare not ask. As for being shot, they still bear the humiliation without saying a word. How can we pay?" The master's knowledge? I thought that Wang Kunshu's proficiency in prose and sharp wit must have been instigated by someone behind the scenes, so I ask your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, to give justice to the former assistant minister, and to give an explanation to scholars all over the world!"

"What did you say? The courtier holds the emperor's key?" Chongzhen was furious, and Wang Zhidao made alarmist remarks. What did he give justice to the former ministers, and what did he give to the scholars in the world? Is he trying to wexe me!
