Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 64

As for the series of things that happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Hu Guang logged into the chat group immediately after waking up, and he already understood the development process of the matter, and there was no need for others to report it.

When Li Fengxiang finished speaking, Hu Guang couldn't help but praised: "Very good, you and Manqing handled things well, I know!"

When Li Fengxiang heard it, he was filled with joy, and quickly said modestly: "This is because your majesty is as good as a god, and the slaves and the Man Zongbing just did what they should do!"

Hu Guang nodded after hearing this, and then remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If the emperor followed the rules, it would be really difficult to do things!Based on my experience of being an emperor these two days, if I want to do something, there will be a bunch of people who will oppose it.Just look at last night, when the Jianlu army was still in the capital, many people were busy making troubles.

This morning, the agenda I set before was to let them provide advice and suggestions on financial and tax matters.But now it seems that there are a lot of things.I don't know how many people can really give advice on finances and taxation.

The party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty really deserved its reputation!

Hu Guang thought so, and entered the chat group.Look at the achievement value is 543.But at this time, he was not in the mood to add people. Seeing that both Gao Yingyuan and Liu Wang had left messages, he switched to the working group first.

"Your Majesty, we met the defeated Ming army in Tongzhou on the road, and there were many Jian captives among them. They recognized Oboi, and after saying hello, Oboi took us to the Khan of the Kingdom of Jin."

"My second brother said, don't let those rout soldiers enter the capital. Jianlu always does this. First sneak into the internal response, and he will definitely come to fight the capital in the afternoon."

As soon as Hu Guang heard that the news was very important, he immediately said that he knew it, and then he left the chat group consciously, and immediately looked at Li Fengxiang who was standing by the side and said: "Immediately go and inform Manqing that some Tongzhou soldiers are coming to the capital. There are quite a few Jianlu insiders mixed in."

Li Fengxiang was surprised when he heard it.Tongzhou came to defeat the army, and there were also internal responses from Jianlu, so the emperor can pinch and count?
To be honest, he didn't believe it.But at this time the emperor had already ordered, even if it was a joke, he had to take it seriously and do it seriously.

Therefore, he quickly showed a surprised look, and immediately took the order to withdraw.

Hu Guang watched him go, and then re-entered the chat group, went to the elementary group, and clicked on Liu Wang's message to listen.

"Purdue sentient beings, Jianlu seems to be about to attack the city, everyone is in a panic. The child's father hasn't come back all night, what should we do?"

As the war approached, Liu Wang panicked again.Hu Guang understood her mood, and immediately explained: "Don't think too much at this time, just remember, don't let Jianlu attack the top of the city and fight with them, don't think too much about other things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wangshi did not respond, but Ruhua spoke, her voice seemed a little tired, but more of a surprise: "Little monk, you are amazing! The capital was so chaotic last night. The servant told me Little sisters, I was embarrassed by their praise early this morning!"

Before Hu Guang could react, she immediately said worriedly: "If Jianlu calls and the capital is still in such a mess, will something happen?"

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Hu Guang said without hesitation when he heard this.

"Hehe!" Ma Fugui's disgusting voice sounded again.

"Oh, do you want my old lady's footwashing water!" Hu Guang didn't say anything, Ruhua was already hairy, and he hated the son of a salt merchant to the extreme in his heart, "Didn't you want to eat shit last night? How about..."

Hu Guang didn't have the time to quarrel with people like Ma Fugui, but he was a little depressed to be interrupted by him again and again, so he immediately asked the system: "System, I am the host, and I don't care about the people in the group. Do you have the authority to punish?"

The currently known permission is to let the people in the group know his true identity to trigger whether to pull or kick people.This kind of limitation is too big. For example, when you meet someone like Ma Fugui, you will be very passive.

"Host, please work hard to increase the number of chat groups, more functions and other host experiences."

Well, it’s useless to ask!Thinking about it, Hu Guang withdrew from the chat group and concentrated on preparing for his first court meeting.

"Dangdangdangdang" bells rang, and Hu Guang knew from the memory of Emperor Chongzhen that the civil and military officials should line up and enter through the left and right Yemen on the side of the Meridian Gate at this time.

Next, civil and military officials lined up according to their grades in the south of Jinshui Bridge. After the crackling of whips sounded, cross the bridge in order, with civil officials on the left and military generals on the right, and stand facing each other on both sides of the imperial road before reaching Fengtianmen Danbi.

Not long after, Hu Guang arrived and took his seat, and the crackling of the whip sounded again.A Honglu Temple official shouted loudly, "Entering the class..."

Hu Guang looked coldly at the thousands of civil and military officials below, and saw them walk into the royal road, face himself, and kowtow once and three times.There are many people, but it is also a bit spectacular.

But he knew that these were just etiquette.Don't look at them praying, in fact, they don't know what they are planning.Wait a while and see how many people have righteous thoughts.

After all the process was over, Hu Guang said slowly with a cold face: "I said yesterday that today's big court discussion is about the emptiness of the national treasury. I hope you can offer advice and suggestions. Where is the Minister of the Household Department?"

One of the civil servants walked out to the front of the imperial court and replied, "The minister is here!"

Hu Guang looked at him and said seriously: "Tell me about the current financial situation of the imperial court!"

"I obey the decree!" Bi Ziyan received the decree, then turned to face the civil and military officials below, and said loudly: "In the first year of Chongzhen, the annual tax revenue that could really be sent to the capital was 396 taels under the control of the household department. Since then, due to the default, the silver has gone from bad to worse, and now it is less than 4200 million taels."

"Chongzhen's expenditure in the first year was 525 taels, with a shortfall of nearly 2500 taels of silver. Later, due to the increase in military pay for the Guanning Army, the annual deficit has exceeded 129 million taels..."

After Bi Ziyan finished speaking, he retreated. Hu Guang glanced at the civil and military officials below, and said loudly with a cold face: "In fact, even if all the annual expenditures of the Ministry of Households are used for military pay, it is far from enough to pay!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to signal, and the eunuch Wang Dehua, who was waiting at the side, took a few steps forward, took out a memorial and began to read it aloud: "The governor of Shaanxi made a memorial: Lin Gong's salary is short until seven or eight." Years, counting to more than 47; Jinglu Bianbao was missing for four or six years; Guzhen Jingyun owed a total of more than 19 taels of silver from the [-]th year of Wanli to the second year of Chongzhen. Clothes are sold for arrows, but now the sons give birth to wives; first they were begging on the street, now they are fleeing from the army, first they were whispering in the sand, now they are openly shouting."

After he finished reading, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then said loudly: "Even the Guanning Army, which pays the most military salaries, still has arrears of military salaries. Bi Zisu, governor of Liaodong, died for this, which is evident." !"

　Thank you friends who voted for recommendations. I have been wondering why there are more membership points than recommendation votes. I am depressed!
