Chapter 83 Liangchen Shuo Mouse
Chongzhen has been attracted by Yu Xiaotian's words at this time, and he has no strength to be angry, but he did not hide it. He nodded and said, "That's good! Xue Guoguan asked me to make an order to persuade him to donate, but the result was not good. He only collected less than 50,000 taels of silver!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's really not as expected by Weichen! Presumably, many ministers will be crying bitterly and crying!"
Chongzhen nodded and didn't say anything, but Yu Xiaotian continued, "That's true! But can the emperor know that when the emperor tried his best to raise money, were these ministers really too poor to open the pot?
It's not! Among other things, I just talked about Gao Qiqian and Xue Guoguan. After Weichen entered Beijing, he captured Gao Qiqian and Xue Guoguan. When he copied their family property, Gao Qiqian alone bought four houses in the capital. Just among Gao Qiqian's family, he captured 170,000 taels of silver. In addition, he borrowed him. There are nearly 200,000 taels of vouchers lent to merchants. In addition, there are all kinds of valuable jewelry and a large number of valuable calligraphy and paintings hidden in the hidden private houses!
If it is totaled, the family wealth accumulated by a person over the years alone will exceed 500,000 taels!
The eunuch Wang Zhixin and Wang Youzuo Duojin are well-known in the capital. This time, it is rumored that the emperor persuaded them to donate, and each of them only donated 2,000 taels of silver, but the emperor can know that nearly 200,000 taels of dirty silver were copied from Wang Zhixin's family alone, and it was only cash, excluding other property!
In Wang Youzuo's family, 130,000 taels of dirty silver were extracted, and many other property sumed out at least 300,000 taels!
Although Xue Guoguan was not the first assistant before and Liu Yuliang was captured, he was promoted to the first assistant. However, in recent years, Xue Thieves have been highly valued by the Holy Master. He appointed him as a scholar of Dongge University and has a lot of power in the court. Xue Guoguan himself is actually a greedy person. Over the years, Among the capital, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know about accepting bribes!
This time, Weichen collected more than 200,000 taels of silver only in Xue Guoguan's house, and the rest of the valuables were in large quantities.
And Xue Guoguan offered a plan to ask the emperor to persuade the ministers to donate. He himself only donated 3,000 taels of silver, which is really a big joke. For him, these 3,000 taels of silver is simply a dime!
In addition, when the emperor's relatives persuaded to donate, it was said that they all cried bitterly and cried poor one by one, but does the Holy One know how many evil things they have done over the years? How much money have you spent?
Not to mention anything else, let's talk about Empress Zhou's father, Zhou Guozhang. No one in the world knows that Zhou Guozhang's family is extremely rich. However, when the emperor persuaded him to donate, Zhou did not even pay a penny or two pieces of silver. Instead, she cried to the queen. The queen was afraid that the emperor's son would not go up and handed over 20,000 taels of silver to her private money. For Zhou Kui, but what about after Zhou Kui gets the money? He only donated 2,000 taels of silver!
The remaining 18,000 taels of silver were actually put into his purse by him. Fortunately, Zhou Kui not only did not donate money because of the emperor persuaded him to donate money, but also made nearly 20,000 taels of silver!
And the abbot of Natian, who persuaded to donate this time, was also penniless, but his family occupied nearly a thousand hectares of fertile fields in the Gyeonggi area, and secretly colluded with unscrupulous Jin merchants to resell the grain and sell it to Jiannu! Profitable!
Well, Weichen only said so much, and the others will not be listed one by one. Thinking of Yang Sichang and Liu Yuliang, everyone in their family has received a large number of bribes. Even if they are not as good as the people listed above, they also have nearly 100,000 taels of dirty silver hidden in the mansion of the capital!
This is the minister that the emperor relies on! When the emperor was exhausted for state affairs and had a headache for the financial gap, they were all trying their best to save money and enrich their own pockets.
When the court was in trouble and the emperor wanted them to help the court through the difficulties, these people cried poor, and even sat down and looked at the emperor in a dilemma!
Does the emperor still think that these people are the pillars of the country and loyal officials? Worm! Daming was emptied by these moths that led to this scene! It's too cheap to say that they are rats!"
Yu Xiaotian said loudly to Chongzhen.
When Chongzhen heard this, blood surged up again and almost wanted to die in the dragon case. Over the years, he was worried about the financial shortage almost every day. This time, Yu Xiaotian led troops to invade the capital, and the court could not pay money to recruit soldiers to boost morale, so he had no choice but to donate to these people.
But what about the result? All he heard was the voice of complaining about poverty. The same was true of those imperial relatives and officials, including the eunuchs. Each of them covered their own money bags and did not pull out a penny. Now it turned out that these people were extremely rich and used their power to make full of pots. There is only one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver hidden in the poop house.
Although Chongzhen had more or less guessed that these people would not be very clean and should not be too poor, Chongzhen never thought that these people's families would be so rich. The silver in their family even far exceeded the money stored in his money. Thanks to his emperor, he was so poor every day that he couldn't open the pot, but these bastards The accounts are so rich one by one, but they completely ignore him, the emperor, who smokes every day for lack of money.
Yu Xiaotian's words were a very heavy blow to Chongzhen. Originally, Chongzhen still had a trace of fantasy about these powerful and these officials, but after listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, his fantasy was completely shattered and shattered like scum.
At this time, Chongzhen's hatred of these people has even exceeded his hatred for filial piety. If it hadn't been for these bastards and deceived them, how could Daming have fallen to such a point? Why does he suffer this pain every day?
Even at this time, Chongzhen had an inexplicable pleasure. He felt that this time Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing and arrested, killed them, and raided their homes. This matter was at least a very pleasant thing.
Don't you guys all cover their money bags? I advised you to take out a little money to help me tide over the difficulties. If you don't do it, it's okay now. Didn't you still get rid of a traitor Yu Xiaotian and get any advantage in the end? Yes! You really deserve it!
Now he finally understands that he works so hard on the surface, goes to bed early and even works all night for tomorrow, but in fact, the officials and dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty have already rotten to the extreme, and they are all of fishing. When you are an official with money, you can do everything to make money.
Yu Xiaotian said that these people were traitors. In fact, it is true that there is no loss for these guys. Just by making so much money from these guys, you can know how many unspeakable things they have done in private.
As an emperor, of course, he is well twined in this truth. He has never thought that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are as honest as mirrors. It is not a big deal to accept some gifts in private and do some small actions. As long as these people can work for the court, then these small mistakes are actually tolerable.
But what he never expected was that these guys were so big that they often gathered so much wealth. Of course, he knew how the money came from. It was either greedy or bribery, but the money always had to come out, either from extortion from the people or from public expenses. It was deducted from the middle.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty will be in such a mess at the present is that these people are absolutely to blame. They drink the blood of the generals and enrich their own pockets for the Mexican army's salary. Of course, the soldiers will not work for the Ming court.
They tried their best to enrich their own pockets for the officials. The people must be very sad. No wonder the officers and soldiers can't fight so much. No wonder the Ming Dynasty is so chaotic. It's all caused by these guys' reckless behavior.
At this time, Chongzhen's mouth was full of bitterness, and even a disgusting feeling of vomiting. His whole heart was broken into scum now. Only he knew the pain, and he could not express it to anyone.
Yu Xiaotian took a sympathetic look at Chongzhen, who almost collapsed, and said after a while, "Your Holiness, now you should know that Weichen did not wrong these people. These people do have a way to die, and it is not a pity to kill them!"
Chongzhen closed his eyes, leaned against the dragon chair, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill! You kill it! Damn these people! They do have a way to die!"
"The Holy One doesn't have to be sorry for these people. Once they are not eliminated, there is no hope for the rejuvenation of our Han nation. Only by killing them can we restore the former glory of our Han people!" Yu Xiaotian continued.
Chongzhen opened his eyes feebly, glanced at Yu Xiaotian, and sneered, "These people really deserve to die, but are you so innocent to Yu Xiaotian?
Although you say that it is for my Ming Dynasty, you have tried your best to do so many things. Do you think I will believe that you are really so selfless?
Since you can contribute to the Ming Dynasty, but don't I really know what you have done in Fujian?
You opened the border and occupied Taiwan Member Island without permission, but refused to put Taiwan Member Island under the jurisdiction of Daming, occupied Weitou Bay, forced merchants to pay taxes, occupied land in various parts of Fujian, and smuggled a large number of immigrants from the land.
Do you support yourself, empty the government, bully men and women, and forcibly sell them? Are these things your so-called loyalty to the court?
You know that I am guarding against you and deliberately control you, but this time you took advantage of Jiannu to go south into the customs and plundered, brazenly raised troops north, straight into Tanggu, and coveted the capital.
How can I not guard you from what you have done? Now you are wronged one by one. Are you really wronged? Is it really wrong for me to treat you like this?
I'm afraid that if you don't have a minister's heart, it won't be a day or two, let alone a temporary intention to enter Beijing to come to the so-called Qingjun side!
You led the army to the north this time and made full preparations. You built a strong brigade in Fujian early, and you must have made sufficient material preparations in advance for this north. You asked me to pay you, saying that you don't have enough food, but do you think you really don't have enough food?
If you don't have much food, even if you have tens of thousands of soldiers, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight with Jiannu, and even more unable to support you to fight for such a long time!
So don't treat me seriously as a fool. You just want to deceive the hearts of the people through this dirty means!
When you go north this time, you step by step take advantage of my fear of your psychology, put me at a disadvantage, step by step let me step into the trap you set in advance, and let me turn my heart back to the people!
Now you have indeed done it! But you still say that you are for the Ming Dynasty. I see what you have done, but it's just Sima Zhao's heart! You can deceive the world, but you can't deceive me!
In fact, what you really want to do, but you still want to seek power and usurp the throne. Don't sing praise for yourself in front of me!"
