Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 192 Eight Great Locust Merchants Enter Beijing
Capital City, Clerk's Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Sun Chengzong!" Huang Liji said with a smile to Zhu Youjian who was sitting at the top.

Zhu Youjian nodded lightly and said: "Well, I already know the news, the brochure Sun Aiqing gave me the night before yesterday has already been delivered to the palace, did you actually receive the brochure now?

It seems that there is indeed a problem with the news receiving channel of your cabinet! "

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian cast a pointed glance at Huang Liji and said with a sneer.

"Ah...this..."

Huang Liji was tongue-tied and didn't know how to reply. He naturally knew what Zhu Youjian was referring to. What he was talking about was that their cabinet didn't get any news about this incident, but what could he do? ?He is also very helpless!

Who would have thought that these bastards would cause such a big incident without telling them, they really didn't receive any news!
Besides, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was unreasonable, this time Zhu Youjian asked Sun Chengzong to kill so many officials at once, it was not just the officials under their cabinet that caused trouble, but even several people in their cabinet would Let's make a fuss together!

After all, this is the execution of thousands of officials in three provinces and one place, a total of four places!

No matter which dynasty or generation it is placed in, this is a big event enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
This time, in order to make up for the sins of not receiving the news from myself and others and being lax under the imperial court, the disturbances caused by the courtiers were suppressed by several people in their cabinet. I don’t know how much trouble has been saved for Zhu Youjian. Let's talk about it!
Zhu Youjian also saw Huang Liji's embarrassment, but he didn't continue to hold on to this issue, and suddenly said: "Although this time the incident was calmed down by Sun Aiqing, the culprit of everything this time, which eight families Merchants, have your cabinet thought about how to deal with them?"

Speaking of this, Huang Liji didn't feel sleepy, and immediately replied excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have already discussed that such a profiteer who is disastrous to the country and the people should confiscate his family and exterminate his family, and all his property will be put into the national treasury!
It just so happens that the national treasury is now empty, these eight families have done so many things that have harmed the country and the people, they must have made a lot of money, which will make the treasury a lot better! "

Hearing what Huang Liji said, Zhu Youjian suddenly coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Cough cough..."

Huang Liji immediately asked concerned: "Your Majesty, is your dragon body okay? Why don't you send someone to the imperial doctor?"

Zhu Youjian quickly waved his hand, hesitated for a while before saying: "No, no!

But, Huang Aiqing, there is something I want to tell you. "

"Your Majesty, please tell me, I am listening."

Huang Liji immediately smiled and pricked up his ears to listen, as did the other elders.

Seeing them listening carefully, Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed to speak.

If I tell them that I have sent people to copy the eight families they were thinking about, even their family property is already on the way to Beijing, and I have no plans to send the money to the national treasury.

Zhu Youjian felt that these old men in the cabinet would definitely not be able to accept the blow brought by the news. After all, judging from their appearance just now, it was obvious that they had been thinking about this money for a long time. Afraid of being stimulated, two of them suddenly fell down.

But it's all the money in his pocket, and Zhu Youjian can't let it out, so even if it will irritate them, Zhu Youjian decided to tell them to stop thinking about the money !
Give up as soon as possible!
Coughing and coughing again, seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Zhu Youjian said slowly: "Which Bajiazhen made arrangements when Sun Aiqing took office. It has already been breached by the forces under my command, and now the heads of the eight families and the gold and silver treasures confiscated from their homes are already on their way to Beijing. I cough cough... I plan to let it go in... Everyone should not opinion?"

"Clam?!"

At this moment, after hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Huang Liji and the other elders immediately showed a confused face of saying hello, and immediately turned into a bitter face after reacting!
This is the money that has been in the mind for so long, just!just this! ?

You actually asked if we had any comments?

Is it useful even if we have an opinion?
Although you have only been enthroned for a short time, don't we know the character of your inaccessible Pixiu?
I'm afraid you won't take out the money in your hand even if we say it's a lie!
Really, bad luck!bad luck!Bad luck! ! !
Wait, the power in His Majesty's hands?What force?
Huang Liji, who was lamenting that the money was gone, suddenly noticed a word Zhu Youjian said just now, and was immediately surprised.

Since the Holy Majesty said this, it means that this force is not from the imperial court, but a force formed by His Majesty privately, otherwise, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, it is impossible for me not to know about it!
This can only explain one problem!
Your Majesty, he has another treasure behind our backs!

ah!Bah bah bah!I've mispoken!Again!

Your Majesty, behind our backs, he has formed a force that is not controlled by the court, and it seems to be a military organization with military force!
This is not good news for them literati!
What exactly is the old man trying to do by secretly forming this kind of armed organization?
When he thought about it, Huang Liji asked immediately, "Your Majesty, what happened to the forces under your command that you just said?"

It was only then that Zhu Youjian realized that he had slipped his mouth just now, and originally wanted to hide it for a while, and let the Qihuo army bring the eight family heads to the capital to let them know, now that it has been exposed, there is nothing to hide Immediately, Zhu Youjian told some general information about the begging army.

However, Huang Liji and others were silent after listening, especially after hearing the origins of the members who formed the begging army, they were even more ashamed and did not dare to raise their heads.

As members of the cabinet, they have an unshirkable responsibility and fault for losing their land and causing people to be displaced as long as they are in office!

This is a fault they cannot shirk!
……

early morning.

The official road ten miles away from the capital.

A group of hundreds of black-armored knights walked forward slowly. There were eight prison cars interspersed between the two teams of black-armored knights. any chance of escape.

The wheels of the prison car were creaking. In the first prison car, only one head was exposed, and Fan Yongdou, whose hair was disheveled outside, only had endless despair and gloom in his eyes.

No one knows better than him what he has done himself. As far as what he has done, it can be said that ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for sin.

So the closer he got to the capital, the more he could feel that the entire sky was slowly falling down on him, so heavy that he couldn't breathe at all!
However, no matter how terrified he is, he is just meat on the chopping board now, and there is nothing he can do.

Behind Fan Yongdou is the prison car of Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang family. Compared to Fan Yongdou's utter despair, he still has a glimmer of hope to survive.

Along the way, they kept yelling, "Let me go! I'll give you money! A lot of money! It's so much money that you can't spend it all in your lifetime! As long as you let me go, you can get these!"
real!I'm not kidding you!As far as what is in my family is only a part of my Huang family's entire property, there are countless properties of my Huang family in other places. As long as you let me go, I am willing to give half of it to you!No!I took out six layers!Seven floors!Eight floors!OK! "

However, no matter how much he yelled, none of the black-armored knights would even look at him, and just continued to move forward expressionlessly, completely ignoring him.

Except for Huang Yunfa, the other six Patriarchs also resorted to various means to get a way out, but unfortunately they all failed.

Fan Yongdou laughed mockingly and self-deprecatingly when he saw them struggling to survive.

Laughing is very embarrassing and pitiful, but it deserves it!
