I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 219 Why Are You So Cruel?
"Seven or eight ministers struggled and knocked themselves to death on the pillars of the hall?"

Hearing this news, Zhu Youjian was stunned for a while.

The scholars in the Ming Dynasty were actually quite strong, they were greedy for money and lustful, and they were better at making money than the emperor, and they were good at doing business. Many of them had business outside the mouth and in the Kanto area.

The relationship with the princes Baylor of Jiannu and the northern barbarians is generally very strong.

If you die, you die.

It is estimated that some of the ministers were just afraid of falling into Wei Zhongxian's hands, so they tasted the methods of the great eunuch one by one.

It is better to die than to live, and to seek death by oneself.

"Then play music, then dance!"

People who commit crimes can still live, but those who commit crimes themselves cannot live.

If you have compassion for those officials who committed crimes, how can you face the tens of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty?Those people, if they die, they die.

Anyway, it's best for this rotten Daming to become an official.

As long as you are a person, you can study for a few days, put on the clothes of a beast, and sit there, you will be a master.

Zhu Youjian hid on the painting boat in Xiyuan, drinking and having fun, all day and all night...

……

"My lord, Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi are asking to see you."

On this day, Zhu Youjian was quietly studying his "character panel", worrying about the slow-growing "prodigal value", when Miss Hongliu came in.

"Do you want to summon me?"

"Let them in."

Zhu Youjian turned off the character panel, picked up a "Nongzheng Quanshu", and pretended to "study hard".

As the emperor, he asked others to study hard, especially good books such as the Complete Book of Agriculture, so he naturally had to pretend to be "good at reading but not seeking to understand" in front of others.

Miss Hongliu is used to this.

She pursed her lips and walked out of the cabin.

"Let them come over." Hongliu greeted, and a smaller painting boat slowly approached.

"Long live Lord is in a bad mood, so you take good care of him."

Before entering the cabin, Miss Hongliu didn't forget to 'knock' Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi, and at the same time, she also expressed a little kindness by the way, so that the two big figures of the Ming Dynasty had a psychological preparation.

What the young master said is right, in governing the country, you can't just know how to fight and kill people, you also have to have a little understanding of the world.

"Thank you girl for reminding..."

Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi hurriedly cupped their hands to express their thanks, then bent down and walked into the cabin.

"Long live, slaves are guilty!"

As soon as he entered the cabin, before Qian Qianyi could speak, Wei Zhongxian knelt down on the ground and crawled forward a few steps, with tears and snot all over half of his face in an instant.

Qian Qianyi: "..."

This old eunuch doesn't talk about Wude!

You agreed to come here together to plead guilty, why did you kneel and crawl over first?

It's no wonder that he can become the emperor's close minister, but I, a great scholar, can only stand aside most of the time...

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister Qian Qianyi, please greet Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian let out an 'oh', staring at a "Nongzheng Quanshu", two white and slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if fascinated by reading.

From time to time, he groaned a few times.

Being an emperor is really hard work!
"Long live lord, the servant girl has caused a catastrophe, please, long live lord, this time, no matter what, you must accept punishment, long live lord!"

Qian Qianyi was about to speak, but was preempted by Wei Zhongxian again.

"It's so good, why did you get into a big disaster?" Zhu Youjian finally raised his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a wry smile: "Get up, sit down and talk.

How decent are you crying and wiping away your tears like this. "

Qian Qianyi got up obediently.

In the end, it was found that Wei Zhongxian was still kneeling and crawling on the ground, pounding his head on the ground vigorously, making a thumping sound, his heart tightened, his knees softened, and he knelt down again.

This Wei Zhongxian is shameless!
The emperor said that the seat was given, but he still lay on the ground and couldn't get up, instead weeping: "Long live, slave, slave, this time is a capital offense!

Even if Lord Long Live can forgive the servant, the servant himself will not dare to let her go, Lord Long Live..."

Qian Qianyi: "..."

Well, I finally learned a trick.

Next time, I will use this 'bitter trick' too, isn't it a great acting skill...

"Your Majesty, a guilty subject is also a death penalty..."

"Okay, okay, it's almost done." The idiot emperor waved his hands and said with a smile: "I already knew what happened in the past few days, and I was really sad at the beginning, so I wanted to kill a group of corrupt officials to relieve my hatred.

But, speaking from the heart, I am not a bloodthirsty tyrant who is easy to kill, how can I kill people at every turn?

Let's all get up and talk.

I have figured it out a long time ago. Even if the Ming Dynasty is worse, it still has to rely on officials at all levels to maintain normal operations.

It is impossible to arrest all corrupt officials, cramp and skin them, exterminate nine clans, smash bones and marrow, dismember corpses, cut them into pieces, burn oil with lamps... right? "

The more relaxed the idiot emperor said.

Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi were more and more frightened.

Listen, these words are still words after the anger has dissipated.

If the emperor is angry...

"Come on, let's take a seat for Nine Thousand and Nine Hundred Years Old and Mr. Qian." Zhu Youjian pushed the Complete Book of Agriculture to the side and said calmly.

'Puff'.

Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi's knees softened at the same time, and they knelt down again.

Amomum pig heart.

The emperor didn't relieve his hatred at all.

Nine thousand nine hundred years old, Mr. Qian, just based on these two titles, it is almost equal to a precursor to a thousand cuts...

"The Hongwan case, is there a result?"

"Lengxiang Yulu Pill, is there a result?"

"The black widow along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, by the way, is your [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian's wife, killed?"

"The Nine Sides War has subsided?"

"Has the problem of unfinished infrastructure projects in the land of the capital been resolved?"

"The war on the northwest frontier has a result? Has my brother Zhu Yousong been rescued? Have you beaten down all the Northern barbarian cavalry? Destroyed their bullshit king's court?"

"Also, have the famines in Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and other places been resolved?"

"Is the water conservancy project that I have given you completed?"

"How much more paddy fields?"

……

A series of questioning made Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi sweat profusely, unable to speak a word.

"Okay, the affairs of the Ming Dynasty are everyone's affairs, not your Wei Zhongxian's, nor your Lord Qian, why do you have to do everything so hard?

Why not, our monarchs and ministers eat, drink, have fun, and talk all day long. "

Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, greeted, and Miss Hongliu personally brought two bowls of tea and placed them in front of Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi respectively.

"Get up and drink tea," Zhu Youjian said with a cold face: "I can't, you have to kneel down to drink a sip of tea, right?

Especially you, Mr. Qian Qianyi, the rare seed of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, drinking tea on your knees, is simply gentle and sweeping the floor.

Once this kind of thing spreads, those scholars still don't know how to curse the emperor of my old Zhu's family, and how to treat scholars slowly. "

Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi stood up tremblingly, took the tea bowl carefully, but dared not sit down for a while.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk," Zhu Youjian waved his hands a little irritably, "If you don't sit down and talk, then get out and stop spoiling the fun here!
What I hate the most is superficiality.

Behind the scenes, there is another set! "

Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi quickly took their seats.

"Look, this is like the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, this is like my minister."

Zhu Youjian rubbed his temples, and said with a toothache, "By the way, those wealthy families in Jiangnan turned the Ming gold coins into a pile of rubbish. Did the two of you know about this before?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, this matter, I know!"

This time, Qian Qianyi finally got ahead of Wei Zhongxian, stood up abruptly, bowed and said, "I have already noticed three months ago that the wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River have already become very resistant to Daming gold coins;

Even, some people have begun to privately mint gold and silver coins.

Wei Chen thought, such a big matter, must be reported to the Long Live Lord face to face..."

As he spoke, Qian Qianyi's voice sank.

How can I say this?

The Ming Dynasty gold coin case is clearly a major crime of exterminating the nine clans. It is tantamount to rebellion. Why did I know about it, but still ignore it, and waited until the emperor found out, and then rushed to report it?
Qian Qianyi cursed secretly: "Old castrate, you are such a chicken thief!" '

No wonder I was able to speak before Wei Zhongxian this time. It turns out that this matter is simply a big hole...

"Look at it and deal with it."

Unexpectedly, the enraged Longyan did not appear as expected.

After the idiot emperor heard this, he just frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, and didn't take this matter to heart.

This made Qian Qianyi puzzled.

something big happened...

According to Zhu Youjian's consistent iron blood and strength, shouldn't it be thunderous, announcing the emperor's will on the spot, strictly investigating the case, and bringing all the perpetrators to justice?
"Your Majesty, this matter..."

As soon as Qian Qianyi opened his mouth, Zhu Youjian stopped him: "Qian Aiqing doesn't need to say more, you and Wei Zhongxian can handle this kind of case.

What I want to do is big things, such trivial things, don't bother me in the future.

Oh, by the way, and those unfinished projects, stop them all.

Since you don't think it's interesting, it won't have any effect on my Ming Dynasty, so it's all stopped.

The saved money and food, your Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the cabinet, etc., look at it and toss about it.

I don't care.

As long as you don’t rebel and don’t starve the people to death, you can play with the rest. Don’t cry all day long and feel very wronged in your heart, thinking that this idiot emperor is fooling around.

I figured it out.

I lie flat and don't want to fight anymore.

What nonsense Ming Dynasty, what nonsense Jiangshan Sheji, what tens of thousands of people, what the way of monarchs and ministers, and the duties of the emperor are all nonsense, nonsense, and have a relationship with me! "

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly as he talked, and smashed a pear table in front of him into powder.

Along with it, the tea bowls, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table also turned into dust.

"I'm only telling you two that the future Ming Dynasty administration will be presided over by you Qian Qianyi, Wei Zhongxian, Zhongshan King Xu Yunzhen, cabinet scholar Zhang Ruitu and others.

I want a folk talent show and start making babies. "

This is true and false, complaining, slapping the table and staring, and throwing the government out of the way, it seems that he will ignore it from now on...

outrageous.

Only Wei Zhongxian had some guesses in his heart.

This time, Long Live Lord was really sad.

It is not known when the next storm started, and it is not known whose head was cut off first.

In short, it is very dangerous.

On the other hand, Qian Qianyi looked dazed.

Is this still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Is this still the man who is decisive, black-hearted, and even his own father-in-law, who cuts down as soon as he says it?

not right...

"Okay, you guys go out on business," Zhu Youjian said solemnly: "Go on, I want to draft talents from all over the world, the number...

Wei Zhongxian, just go down and make an agreement with the Ministry of Rites.

I only have one request, that is, for this beautiful girl, she must be beautiful and come from a good background. Of course, a woman from a scholarly family, a general, and a wealthy businessman is the best;
Those from Korea, Japan, Tsarist Russia, those blond concubines and princesses can all be considered.

It's okay to get a few ships from Europe if you have the ability, haha.

Don't send me a woman of ordinary people to make me suffer..."

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

Is this a requirement?

The idiot emperor's brain seems to be failing...

Is this still the 'Xin Wang Zhu Youjian' who worked hard and worried about the country and the people?Back then on Kuwu Island, the eunuch had seen the shamelessness of the emperor.

However, he didn't expect it.

How brazen!
"Long Live Lord, this servant will do it now, let's do it now!" Wei Zhongxian was puzzled, but with a happy smile on his face, he said happily: "Those princesses from the Koryo Kingdom and the Waren Kingdom can also be considered.

As for the princess...

The servants also tried their best to get some boats! "

"As for the ladies and gentlemen, the servants also have a general idea, and they choose those who are educated, wealthy and aristocratic families..."

Wei Zhongxian guessed in his heart, did the idiot emperor figure it out?

In fact, the so-called Great Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, is still the Great Ming Dynasty of those scholars and wealthy families. Your old Zhu's is just sitting on the dragon chair and giving orders, seeking benefits for the scholars and wealthy families.

Don't really think that you are the real dragon emperor, and don't really think that the Ming Dynasty is the Jiangshan Sheji of your old Zhu family...

However, these small thoughts are only a guess of the eunuch after all.

This idiot emperor doesn't play according to the routine, it's better not to speculate randomly, lest he shoot himself in the foot when the time comes.

I can't eat and walk around!
Seeing Wei Zhongxian happily walking out of the cabin, Qian Qianyi began to think carefully.

'It seems that the emperor is thinking of some compromise this time? '

'It's called the world's talent show, filling the harem, but in fact...it's just showing favor to those scholars and wealthy families? '

'Well, that should be it. '

After all, since ancient times, the only thing that can make the imperial power more stable is the support and support of those wealthy families. If you leave the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, you are a poor emperor with no money and no power...

Count it!
"Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Qian Qianyi stood up in a regular manner, bowed and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "My minister congratulates His Majesty on great joy!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't it just marrying thousands of concubines, it's not worth mentioning."

"By the way, Qian Aiqing, you said that if I want to marry so many wives at the same time, those old men should give me some face and stop making trouble from now on, right?"

"Also, I heard that you, Qian Qianyi, have three daughters, none of whom were married..."
