Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 49
Zhu Yousong is kind by nature, not a person who is easy to blame others, and he has received a few years of higher education in his previous life, so he is more reasonable.

I know that these Jinyiwei have contributed a lot today. Even though they failed to catch the Ma family and his son, causing himself and the queen to be almost stabbed to death, it is not entirely their fault. Tigers are that simple.Fortunately, the Ma family father and son have been wiped out. These people have no credit but hard work, not to mention killing the main member of the Ma Party, Zhao Zhilong.

Therefore, seeing them kneel down to plead guilty, Zhu Yousong smiled and said: "My dear friends, you have contributed a lot to killing the rebellious ministers and thieves. What is the crime? Let's all be flattened. After the rebellious party is completely eliminated, I will reward you according to your merit. Get ready to drive back to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliance." Lu Jiude and the others saw that not only did the Emperor not blame them for their ineffectiveness in catching the thief, but they also affirmed their contributions, and expressed that they would be rewarded according to their merits in the future.After agreeing to stand up, organize the team and escort them back to the palace.

When Zhu Yousong sat back on the dragon chariot, in just two hours, the Golden Empress seemed to have experienced two long centuries. Although the emperor was not far away from him just now, she did not dare to get off the dragon chariot without authorization according to the emperor's orders Back to Zhu Yousong's side, so although the two of them are close at hand, they are as far apart as the world. This woman has experienced major events that have never been experienced in a few lifetimes in one day, and the unforgettable feeling is better than Rebirth after disaster.

Now seeing Zhu Yousong returned to her side, the missing sense of security was found all at once again, as if a pair of lovers who had parted from life and death reunited after a long absence, the Golden Empress bent down into Zhu Yousong's arms recklessly, like a Like a wronged child, Xiang shoulders shrugged and wept.

"Your majesty...it's too scary...I thought I would never see the emperor again..."

Zhu Yousong smiled and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "How come, I said, as long as I am here, I will keep you safe and sound. It's all over, the queen is not afraid..."

Don't blame the Golden Queen for being sentimental. For a weak woman, most of today's battles will not be enjoyable. In fact, Zhu Yousong is not easy. Thinking about what happened today is also very emotional. This is the first time he has experienced such a big scene. To put it bluntly, this is the battlefield, with several ups and downs, twists and turns, especially when thinking of fighting Ma Luan close to him and brushing shoulders with death, I can't calm down for a long time.

However, seeing the shocked state of the Golden Queen, he had no choice but to comfort her by stroking her back and comforting her as a man or a husband. The queen is one of them, and Zhu Yousong is very satisfied with this. What happened today brought the two of them closer.

Those accompanying servants and palace maids seemed to be having a nightmare, and now they have finally survived until the nightmare is over, praying in their hearts, praying for God to bless all is safe, and walking slowly left and right with the dragon chariot, civil and military officials I didn't expect Congratulations to be like this, and I was silent all the way. Thinking about it just now, with lingering fear, I lamented that His Majesty is so powerful and courageous. Even the people from Donglin Party and Fushe, who have always been fond of discussing government affairs, had to sing praises to the emperor. Of course including the up-and-coming Zheng Damu.

Of course, Zhu Yousong got up and drove back to the palace, and these Jinyi guards could not all be withdrawn. Lu Jiude asked Li Quan, who was in charge of the East Factory, to stay in charge with several factory officials, and left two of the Thousand Households. Jin Yiwei was assigned to him to command and dispatch, clean up the battlefield, seal up the horse mansion, arrest those who should be arrested, interrogate those who should be interrogated, and confiscate items.

After the affairs of the Ma Mansion were almost settled, Jin Yiwei, a thousand households, was left behind to use large carts and small carts to pull things, gold, silver and jewelry, etc. All valuables that could be taken away were loaded into the account and pulled away. After the order was finished Soon after, Li Quan took dozens of factory fans and Jin Yiwei from a thousand households to search Ruan Dacheng's home and Zhao Zhilong's home without stopping.

The people in the two mansions still don't know what happened, they only know that their master went to the governor's mansion for a joyous occasion, but they never expected to return, but the factory guard who ransacked the house came back, which scared them into panic All day long, Li Quan did not kill anyone according to the emperor's wishes, but only arrested those who should be arrested, ransacked the house, and then obeyed the emperor's wishes.

Ruan Dacheng and Zhao Zhilong are both high-ranking people, and they are in cahoots with Ma Shiying, using the power in their hands to make a lot of money, so their house has a lot of valuable things.

After searching the houses of Ruan Dacheng and Zhao Zhilong, it was already dark, but Li Quan didn't wave his hand, and killed his carbine overnight, and ransacked the home of Baoguo Duke Zhu Guoyan and Caojiang Admiral Liu Kongzhao.

Regardless of the lack of money in the treasury and the common people, all of these ministers are fat and oily, so these more than 2000 people have been busy until the second watch of the day before coming to an end. From home to Ruan Dacheng and Zhao Zhilong's home, and then to Zhu Guoyan's and Liu Kongzhao's home, they couldn't count how many carts loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

The things confiscated by the five people were converted into no less than 1000 million taels of silver. After getting the reward, Zhu Yousong nodded.

It turned out that Zhu Yousong, who was dissolute and extravagant, had a lot of money in his private house. The former copied millions of silver from the great eunuch Han Zanzhou, and now he has seized tens of millions of silver from five rebellious parties. These two incomes swelled the internal coffers. It's about to explode.

Zhu Yousong's heart suddenly became clear. Money can turn ghosts, train troops to strengthen the country, quell bandits, and resist the Tartars. Money is inseparable from everything. With these silvers as capital, it should be able to turn around for a while.

As for how to bulge up the deflated national treasury in the future, that is something that can only be considered after the situation is stabilized.Zhu Yousong's plan left an issue for Donglin and the Fushe people.

Zhu Yousong's head is very clear. Although the party of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng have perished, the situation is still grim. The [-] to [-] Beijing battalion soldiers and tens of thousands of Caojiang naval forces must be cleaned up, and there is no room for slack.You have to rely on these people to defend the land and fight wars. After cleaning up these tens of thousands of horses, they will be the foundation of the country, otherwise it may cause turmoil.

Therefore, after returning to the palace, he immediately summoned Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shi Kefa, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Liu Zongzhou, the prince Taifu and Minister of the Ministry of officials, Lu Daqi, the minister of the household department, Qian Qianyi, the minister of the Ministry of rites, and Wu Weiye, the left servant of the Ministry of rites. The imperial envoys Zuo Maodi, Huang Duanbo and others, and of course the heads of the factory guards such as Lu Jiude, Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui were also present.

These people knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

Others are calm in their hearts, only Shi Gong Kefa is beating drums in his heart, not knowing good or bad.

Because the fate of Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Zhao Zhilong and others was too shocking, he witnessed it with his own eyes, and Jiang Admiral Liu Kongzhao was also imprisoned.
