Chapter 590

Today's Daming ministers are very arrogant and arrogant. In the past, it was normal to kneel and kowtow to the emperor. However, since they ruled the world with official doctors, these ministers turned over to serfs and sang.

Rarely do three kneeling and nine kowtowing rites. When I see the emperor, I do a bow at most to show the dignity of scholar officials.

So today, Yang Sichang made this great gift and made this heroic speech. He thought the emperor would be moved. Who knows that the emperor was expressionless, but he didn't say a word.

In fact, the current emperor Chongzhen is also very suffering and very painful. So far, as an emperor, he can't shirk his responsibility. Like his grandfather Emperor Wanli, who didn't go to the court for 28 years, he only ate, drank and had fun. The world is very stable and there is no problem at all.

He is diligent and loves the people. He goes to the court every day and dares to eat, drink and have fun. However, the court politics is getting worse day by day. He feels like hanging himself. The more he struggles, the faster he dies. He doubts himself and his life.

Why the harder they work, the worse the government is. Why the harder they work, the lazier the ministers are.

This group of Ministers is like the hair on the pork. If the meat does not exist, how will the hair be attached? These people just don't understand these reasons?

Emperor Chongzhen now understands that the imperial court may be poor, but these nobles in the Ming Dynasty are really not poor. This time, he only used a little strength and got so much silver from the capital in a short time.

Don't these people know the truth that trees fall and monkeys scatter? If the Ming Dynasty is gone, where will these people who live by relying on the Ming court go?

When the first emperor was alive, although he was lazy and made the imperial government a mess, the country was still calm. However, after he ascended the throne, there was a rebellion of roving bandits sweeping the country. This fight has been nearly ten years. It was not easy to wipe out their two leaders one after another, and forces such as the Liu family emerged.

The Liu family is the most different from the roving bandits. They are a group of hungry mobs who take risks only when they don't have enough to eat. In other words, if the imperial court can take out its hands and let them eat and dress well, I'm afraid it can make them stop and stop making trouble.

But the Liu family is different. They have been officials for generations and have accumulated a lot of money. This outbreak is shocking. Once the Liu family makes a riot, the whole Shandong will become an enemy. They are even stronger and more powerful than the sheshi family and the an family in the southwest.

Such forces are not easy for them to clean up, nor are they itinerant bandits. As long as they are given money, food and land, they can buy and divide them and let them go back to the field. What Liu thieves want is the world of the Ming Dynasty.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen saw it very clearly, so even if the Liu family did not call on the world and announced the start of the army, Emperor Chongzhen knew that the other party was wolf ambition.

Moreover, this is also reflected in the way the officers and soldiers deal with the Liu family. The officers and soldiers deal with the roving bandits. They can basically fight against each other and chase each other. However, when dealing with Liu Fu, they are blind and easily defeated by each other. This shows that Liu thief's army has become extremely strong.

At least, the imperial court's officers and soldiers could not easily destroy the prestige of Liu Zeqing's 100000 troops at one stroke. This also gave the imperial court a great threat. You know, Liu thieves are so powerful that it is not easy for the imperial court to destroy them. Therefore, they can only use heavy military groups to attack, and their plans have been greatly damaged, Lost Tianxiong army, Lu Xiangsheng and other patriotic iron generals.

Thinking that tens of thousands of soldiers and corpses of Tianxiong army were not allowed to return home, he was very distressed. He said loudly, "how to pursue the posthumous title of Lu Qing."

When the emperor said this, the ministers had no opinion, and they were discussing the posthumous title and what posthumous title should be.

At the suggestion of all the officials, he was added as the crown prince, the crown prince, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and posthumously presented as a martyr. He also ordered the local government to establish a martyr temple. In the spring and autumn, sacrifices continued. This is a very high treatment and evaluation. A literary minister who can do this is also an example for others. The ministers in the Court saw that he could win such treatment for Lu Xiangsheng here, They are also very pleased.

Lu Xiangsheng was a Jinshi in the second year of apocalypse. There were a lot of Jinshi in this year. Now he is a young man in all departments of the court. Like him, he has become the governor of five provinces at a young age and died in a glorious battle. Few ministers are really proud of such a colleague.

Because Lu Xiangsheng refused to surrender and died in the glorious war, the imperial court gave him a very high evaluation and included it in the ranks of martyrs. He wrote a special book and praised it wantonly, hoping that everyone would learn from him and be loyal to the Ming dynasty like him.

But when the emperor asked, "how should the more than 20000 heavenly heroes who died in the war be compensated, everyone was silent."

In particular, Liu Qingshi, the Minister of household, immediately lowered his head and looked at his toes when he heard that he wanted money. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of all the ministers and emperors of the imperial court.

The emperor was full of hope. I hope the ministers can come up with a proper pension method. We should know that the Tianxiong army is very heroic, but they are completely destroyed. If such people don't pay a pension, they will chill the loyal and righteous people all over the world, and no one is willing to learn from them anymore.

However, seeing that all the ministers of the imperial court were silent, everyone was unwilling to take out money to compensate these people, which disappointed the emperor very much. He said: "if such loyal and righteous men are not good at pension, who else in the world would be willing to be loyal to the imperial court."

After repeated questioning by the emperor, Yang Sichang said, "the ministers will draw up a list to properly compensate the generals and soldiers who died in the war. However, there are too many people to complete in a short time. Please wait a moment, and the ministers should come up with a proper method."

The emperor sighed at this.

Because the imperial court has no money, it is unrealistic to take out a large amount of money and land to pay for the soldiers who died in the war. Their pension can only be paid to the general level at most. These generals will give quite good posthumous titles and then order local places to join the martyrs' temple for commemoration. As for a large amount of money and food, it is a little unlikely, because the imperial court has no money, Even money should be used on the blade, not on these dead people.

Even so many civil and military officials in the whole court, as well as officials with clear words, remained silent, which shows that everyone acquiesced in this practice.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that this practice was very inappropriate. If the soldiers died on the battlefield, they could not get any pension. The soldiers died on the battlefield, their vests and bones could not return home, and even the people at home could not get any pension.

Since then, who else is willing to work for the imperial court and who will learn from the Tianxiong army? Even if all these generals compete to learn from Lu Xiangsheng, his soldiers are unwilling to learn from the Tianxiong army. All this is in vain.

You know, they are the imperial court's officers and soldiers. If the imperial court's officers and soldiers have no laws, who else in the world will be loyal to the imperial court?

Emperor Chongzhen knew that many of his generals were loyal to the imperial court and were willing to work for the imperial court to the death. However, the people below them did not cooperate and were unwilling to work for the imperial court, so they brought them up in a pot. They didn't fight at all and were half hearted.

So when he saw the courtiers silent, the emperor was very angry. He was directly angry from his heart and said loudly: "No matter what method I use, I will squeeze a share of money and food out of my teeth to comfort the survivors of these soldiers who died in the battle. This will be supervised by Duke Wang's East Hall. If someone disobeys the order, reaches out and embezzles the burning and burying silver of the soldiers who died in the war, don't blame me for being cruel and cruel and turning my face."

As soon as the emperor said this, Liu Qingshi, the Minister of household, became a bitter melon. He said with a sad face, "please accept the resignation of your minister."

Liu Qingshi, the Minister of the Ministry of household, is also a capable minister, but in the Ming Dynasty, the most difficult thing to do is the Minister of the Ministry of household. There is no money in the Treasury. As a minister of the Ministry of household, he has to maintain the expenditure of the Empire, which has become the hardest work. He frowns every day about where to get money and food.

There was no money in his hands at all. The emperor would spend a lot of money and food in a word. Liu Ming was not a real Baiyun. He could change silver out of thin air, but the emperor strictly implemented it. Where did he change silver, just resign, go home and enjoy his grandchildren and see Nanshan leisurely?

Emperor Chongzhen was very upset by the minister's abandonment in public. He said, "Liu Aiqing, you are a capable minister, and I appreciate your talent very much. You think hard and don't sleep at night these days for the expenditure of the imperial court. I'm very relieved. I'm a scholar in the East Pavilion and join the pavilion to participate in the military aircraft."

In order to get a sum of silver from his teeth, Emperor Chongzhen promised a large sum of money. If the Minister of household could get the money for him, he could enter the cabinet.

But Liu Qingshi was not fooled. He said, "it's not that the old minister is unwilling to obey. In fact, he has no money in his hands, and the ministers are unable to take up the position of minister. This often disappoints the emperor, so he goes up to beg for mercy."

Liu Ming was also in a hurry. He had no money at all, but all kinds of expenses were a lot. The emperor always asked for money. With such pressure, he, the Minister of household, was extremely oppressed and helpless. Since he was so sad, he might as well not do it.

The emperor was very angry when he saw that the other party was so ignorant and insisted on resigning. He said coldly, "Liu Qing is like this. When there are difficulties, he will give up. This is what you call the style of famous officials?"
