Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 42 Chongzhen was furious, I wanted to ransack the house
Three days passed in a flash.

In the mansion of Li Yizhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, several civil and military ministers gathered.

"It's been three days, and His Majesty hasn't come to court. Do you know what happened?"

One of the third-rank officials looked at Li Shangshu in doubt.

Li Shangshu shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

In fact, Li Shangshu was also full of doubts.

Since three days ago, His Majesty repelled the army of intruders and hosted a banquet for the common people in the city.

He hasn't shown up for three days.

It stands to reason that His Majesty has just won a big victory, and now is the time to regroup.

But His Majesty has not gone to court for three days.

It is strange.

"My official guesses that something big is about to happen!"

While everyone was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the quiet hall.

Everyone heard the words and looked up to the place where the sound came from. It turned out that it was Hubu Shilang and An who had not spoken.

One of them asked suspiciously:

"Could it be that Master He knows something?"

He nodded with the waiter.

"This official is also guessing. According to the news from the palace, the prince of the Sili Supervisor has been acting frequently in the past few days. According to reliable news, His Majesty restored Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and merged these two institutions into one to establish a factory. Wei, the person in charge is the prince..."

Halfway through the conversation with the servant, there was an exclamation immediately.

"what?"

"Establish a factory guard?"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty discuss it with us?"

Everyone looked at each other with serious expressions, deeply disturbed in their hearts.

His Majesty set up factory guards without their consent, which was the source of their uneasiness.

What Changwei is, you can tell from the name, the combination of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

A secret service agency that specializes in dealing with ministers of civil and military affairs like them.

They finally joined forces with other ministers to deceive His Majesty.

Finally let His Majesty abolish Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

In the past few years without Jinyiwei and Dongchang, let alone how happy they are.

But who would want to.

His Majesty suddenly set up a factory guard now, and did not discuss with these ministers.

What is His Majesty doing?
Is it because they have just repelled the intruders, and they are going to attack them, ministers of civil and military affairs?
"No, I'm going to see His Majesty and ask clearly why I didn't discuss such a big matter as setting up factory guards with everyone."

Li Yizhi, the Minister of Rites, stood up from his seat abruptly. He could not wait any longer.

He is going to persuade His Majesty to take back his order.

Because Li Yizhi had a premonition that something big would happen.

If he doesn't act again, His Majesty will cause a catastrophe.

The other officials present also agreed, and also went to see His Majesty with Li Shangshu, so that His Majesty could take back his order.

The Study Room of the Golden Temple.

Chongzhen has not closed his eyes for three days.

For the past three days, he has been reading the books that Chen Fan gave him.

These books include a summary of his life, comments on his strategy of governing the country, and what happened in the capital on the last day of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Chongzhen saw it from the book "The Last Day of Ming Dynasty".

After Li Zicheng broke through the capital, he confiscated 7000 million taels of silver from the home of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

And that's just the amount of silver.

It does not include other properties, such as fertile land, shops, mansions, cultural relics and antiques, jewelry and so on.

When Chongzhen saw this, he trembled with anger.

"These damn worms!"

Chen Fan had briefly said something to Chongzhen before.

Although Chongzhen was quite angry at the time, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't feel deeply.

But now.

Look at the records in the books.

Which official's house found several 10 taels of silver, and which official's treasury found mountains of gold and silver treasures.

Chongzhen was furious.

Consider that his treasury is empty, not a single coin is gone.

And in the homes of these moths, treasures are piled up in mountains.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he shouted to the outside of the hall:

"Partner!"

Wang Chengen, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, heard His Majesty's call, hurried in and knelt on the ground, waiting for His Majesty's order.

"My lord, the manpower of the factory guards has been arranged, and I'm just waiting for my lord's orders."

"Okay, I won't let any of these moths go. I want you to take good men to raid their homes. Anyone who resists, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!"

With that said, Chongzhen handed over the list he had prepared to Wang Chengen.

The people on the list were all transcribed from "The Last Day of Ming Dynasty", and they were also the targets of this raid.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant promises to complete the task and never let a moth go."

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he took the list and left with a murderous look.

On this day, the capital that had just calmed down was boiling again.

Wang Chengen dispatched with thousands of factory guards.

According to the list, they rushed to the homes of ministers one after another to arrest people.

Once there is resistance, without further ado, greet with grenades directly.

After a whole day, Wang Chengen went back to report with blood all over his body.

When Wang Chengen ransacked his home, the common people and ministers of civil and military affairs were shocked when they heard the news.

All of a sudden, the whole city was in an uproar!

"What's the matter? Yan's house was ransacked just now, what happened?"

"The Marquis of Xing'an's mansion was ransacked just now. I heard that people from the palace did it. Many people died."

"What's the matter? Why even Zhang's house was ransacked. Mr. Zhang has always been diligent in government and caring for the people."

"Why is this, Your Majesty?"

Everyone was terrified, apparently frightened by Chongzhen's big move.

Nobody knew what was going on.

Why did so many civil and military ministers have their homes ransacked in one day?

Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

Li Yizhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Chongzhen sadly.

On the way Li Shangshu came, he saw Wang Chengen leading a large number of people, looking murderous.

At that time, Li Shangshu had a premonition that something serious was going to happen.

Under a question.

Li Shangshu was almost scared to death on the spot.

Wang Cheng'en brought so many factory guards to search the house.

Moreover, Li Shangshu looked at the thick list in Wang Chengen's hand, and there were at least a thousand names on it.

This means a thousand civil and military ministers!
Is Your Majesty crazy?
Li Shangshu came back to his senses and hurried to the Jinluan Hall to meet Chongzhen.

Seeing Li Shangshu, Chongzhen's cold face eased a little.

Compared with when Li Zicheng broke the city, most of the other civil and military ministers bowed their knees and surrendered, and the seller begged for glory.

This Li Shangshu was able to throw himself into the river to die for his country, he was actually a person who was loyal to his country.

With this strong contrast, Chongzhen had more respect for this Li Shangshu.

"I learned that these people are corrupt and exploit the common people, and the amount is huge. That's why I ordered the house raid."

For the sake of Li Shangshu's death in the river, Chongzhen explained.

"Impossible! This official believes that there are corrupt officials, but when I saw the list in the hands of the prince, there are at least 1000 people! Could it be that these thousand civil and military ministers are all corrupt? I will never believe it."

Li Shangshu was very emotional and questioned on the spot.

Completely forgot Chongzhen's identity.
