I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 341 New Chapter 321: Conscience is still intact

Emperor Chongzhen has changed! Become violent and easy to kill!

He had the ambition to "become a Yao and Shun". When he first ascended to Dabao, he believed in the Donglin Party and simply obeyed their words, which led to "the people are upright and prosperous in the court."

The result was a change of direction, and the slaves were killed all the way to the capital city. The "all the people in the court" had no good strategy, and they spent all day shifting blame, arguing, quarreling, and cheating people.

Then there were rogue bandits and wars, and the government's finances were unsustainable.

Chongzhen wanted to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and increase mining and commercial taxes. However, the "Zhong Zhengying Dynasty" resisted one after another, saying that they should not "compete with the people for profits"!

The mine boss has a backing, how can he be promoted to a common man?

If the ministers jointly resist, of course things will not work out!

So Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized that he no longer trusted the sanctimonious scholar-bureaucrats, and began to send out internal officials, and then more and more!

Eunuchs were only responsible to the emperor, and indeed many internal officials were loyal to the emperor.

However, the greed of eunuchs is no less than that of civil servants and generals. The army and government offices have more supervisory troops and supervisory eunuchs, which make them even more miserable.

Chongzhen only paid lip service to his love for the people, but he sent three additional payments, which caused a large number of farmers to go bankrupt. He did not see him attacking the Zhu family vassal king and the nobles of the court.

Today, I received a memorial from Wang Kun. Chongzhen learned that the rebels had been surrounded and that they should be completely wiped out within a month or two.

It is expected that the Denglai Rebellion will be quelled within the year, so Chongzhen is certainly in a happy mood!

Is it right or wrong to use internal officials? Speak with facts.

Among the eunuchs, Wang Kun of Haigangfeng refused to be corrupted and never touched him. He personally climbed the ice and lay in the snow and shared the joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers.

He was also very tolerant. Although Huang Yi was ungrateful and arrogant, Wang Kun still greeted him with a smile and offered kind words to persuade him, but he just ignored him!

Why is he like this?

Of course he is dedicated to serving the public good, and he must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!

Emperor Chongzhen has thought about it. When Wang Kun comes back after finishing his work in Denglai, I will leave the East Factory to him.

With Wang Kun, a eunuch who is not afraid of offending people, running errands, those civil servants and generals who are corrupt and bend the law may be on pins and needles.

The most favored eunuch in the Chongzhen Dynasty was probably Cao Huachun, who lived until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chengen was probably one of his godsons.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were disgusting and perverted. They couldn't give birth to sons without their penises, and they loved to recognize their sons and grandsons the most.

Wang Kun was also the godson of Cao Huachun. Since Huang Yi made him a role model among eunuchs, powerful eunuchs began to target him.

Why?

No matter what era, no matter which group, everyone hates being outstanding.

This kind of person is an alien.

All the eunuchs of the Great Foreign Affairs University imitated Wang Kun. Where did the Bing Jing and Tan Jing in the palm prints of the twenty-four eunuchs of the capital come from?

Cao Huachun has begun to distance himself from Wang Kun, his godson.

The eunuchs all had a tacit understanding not to say a good word for Wang Kun in front of the emperor, but to slander him when it was convenient.

Wang Chengen wanted to say something bad about Wang Kun at first, but before he even started, he felt it was inappropriate and quickly stopped.

Of course he knew that because the emperor appointed internal officials to go to various places to supervise the army or supervise the management of money and food, the scholar-bureaucrats whose power was constrained were in an uproar.

Listening to the emperor's words, Wang Kun will be promoted to have greater power after returning from victory.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

He secretly thought about it, and when he was ready, he went to his godfather, Mr. Cao, to discuss his thoughts.

Wang Kun is so strong that he cannot be stopped. If he doesn't get it right, he will be at odds with him and turn from one of his own into a mortal enemy.

Why not accept the fact that Wang Kun is an anomaly, and everyone will help him with his affairs, but at worst, he won't get any benefits.

As long as Wang Kun's political achievements are better than those of the feudal officials who entered the imperial examination, the internal officials will be more trusted by the emperor, and more people will be reused.

This will benefit the entire group of internal officials, and I believe they will be able to convince the godfather and gain support. What the emperor did not expect was that Wang Kun was not willing to climb the ice and lie in the snow. He was punished by Huang Yi and had to undergo labor reform.

Wang Kun, who has learned to behave well, does not have to climb on the ice or lie in the snow this time. He eats and drinks well every day, has a cowhide tent that is as warm as spring, and has Little Plum waiting on him. Life is beautiful.

He did not forget his godfather's support and wanted to give him a gift, but unfortunately he was short of money.

He was eager to encircle and annihilate the rebels because Huang Yi personally promised him benefits worth at least two hundred thousand silver.

Wang Kun hates Huang Yi, but it does not affect his trust in Huang Yi.

He has met many civil servants and military generals, and so far he only admires Huang Yi from the bottom of his heart.

Look at this person, with one hand he beat the rebels to the point where they abandoned their armor, and with the other hand they stole 800,000 taels of snowflake silver.

Qi Shaobao didn't have this ability back then!

He promised the Sa family to seize Dengzhou and annihilate the rebels in exchange for no less than two hundred thousand taels of silver. He will definitely do it!

Wang Kun firmly believed that the rebels were angry because they had been defrauded of 800,000 taels of silver, so he revealed the incident.

He was happy that Huang Yi was getting rich, and he concluded that it was a frame-up by the rebels without any evidence, and reported it to the court.

The soldiers who participated in the siege of Dengzhou City, including the servants and guard squads, numbered close to 100,000, and most of them heard the rebels' slogans.

Eight hundred thousand taels of silver was so shocking that ordinary soldiers, guardsmen, and servants did not believe it at all.

It's all a joke.

However, Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Wu Anbang, Chen Hongfan, Liu Zeqing, Mou Wenshou and other generals were completely different. They believed that there is no smoke without fire.

I feel that even if Huang Yi didn't take the 800,000 taels of silver from the rebels, the people who got it would be young and old.

Comparing people to others is irritating, so how come Huang Yi makes money so easily?

Jealousy envy hate ah!

Prestige is created, and conditions are negotiated!

Liu Yulie's attitude has long been different.

He knew that although the number of soldiers and horses he led was large, only one out of ten could fight. Relying on these people to capture Dengzhou was like a fool's dream!

He had escaped with Huang Yi's help. Although Huang Yi's help was a bit expensive, Liu Yulie still appreciated it.

Moreover, he did not lose money because he operated it properly.

Another important point is that Liu Yulie, who has read the books of sages since he was a child, has not read them all into the dog's belly, so he should be considered to have a clear conscience.

Denglai was rotting away and hungry people were everywhere. How could he turn a blind eye?

Liu Yulie had heard and witnessed what the Xinghe Army had done, and knew that Huang Yi had rescued dozens of millions of Shengdou civilians.

It does require a lot of food.

Therefore, he sincerely did not hold any grudge against Huang Yi's asking price. He felt that the food and money he provided could make countless people alive, and he had done a good deed for thousands of families to become Buddhas.

Huang Yi made a bold statement to seize Dengzhou City and eliminate the rebels, and Xinghe Army and his family were all covered!

However, the Xinghe Army did not monopolize the credit, but distributed it among the Governor-General and the Supervisory Army, so that everyone who saw it should share as much as possible.

There is no need to fight a fierce battle, but you can still make meritorious deeds. Is there such a good thing?

have! But there are conditions!

The condition, of course, is that no one's soldiers and horses can take the opportunity to enter Dengzhou City to seize it!

If anyone doesn't keep an eye open, the Xinghe Army will attack without hesitation!
