Emperor Chongzhen held his hands and looked at the broken sky, where a flock of pigeons flew by, and the melodious pigeon whistle made the emperor feel much better, he said leisurely: "The bell must be tied to the bell, who owes the famine who will pay it, and let Wen Zhengtao do the disaster relief." ”Hearing what the emperor said, Wen Tiren immediately cried with joy, and took out a letter from his sleeve tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has Wen Zhengtao's request to raise food and salary for disaster relief. ”"Oh?"
Chongzhen didn't look back, just looked at the sky, and said lightly: "Read." ”Wen Tiren smiled bitterly: "I'm dazzled, let's ask the prince to help me read it." ”Wang Chengen saw Chongzhen nodding, then took it, and said: "The micro-ministers are mediocre, the emperor will not give up, and the court class, often think about the liver and brain, in case of retribution for the king's kindness, seeing that the people in the Daming disaster area are not hungry, the monarch's father is worried, and the ministers are difficult to sleep and eat."
Think twice.Courageously implored the emperor to allow his ministers to take charge of raising food and wages for disaster relief, and the criminal minister Wen Zhengtao wept bloodily. ”Emperor Chongzhen listened silently, and there was no pigeon in the sky, so he turned around and said lightly: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
”"Discussing sins is discussing sins, if you take out this invitation to play the chapter, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of interfering with the holy judgment, and Weichen will never dare."
Wen Tiren said nonsense, in fact, when the emperor's anger has not disappeared, it is useless to take out this thing, only at this time, can the final word, Wen Shoufu is worthy of Wen Shoufu, the first old fox of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yanru is more than one grade worse than this old fox.After a moment of silence.Emperor Chongzhen asked the two first-class officials: "What do the two Qing family think?"
”Yao Minggong simply didn't open his mouth, it didn't matter to him, he didn't care, he knew that Zhou Yanru would definitely refute impatiently, and sure enough, he heard him say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, by all means." ”Zhou Yanru saw a good kill, and was disturbed by Wen Tiren's crying, not to mention how much fire there was in his heart, when the emperor asked, it was like lighting a firecracker, and it exploded: "Your Majesty, by all means, since Wen Zhengtao built the palace, he has been greedy for more than one million pieces of silver, if Wen Zhengtao is allowed to preside over disaster relief, wouldn't he be greedy for more silver?"
”"Zhou Zhongcheng, you have to be responsible for speaking."
Wen Tiren said righteously: "You are attacking a Shangqing, is it inappropriate to say this?"
”"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yanru felt that if he wanted to take down Wen Zhengtao today, he had to be tough to the end: "A few years ago, there were suddenly more than 500,000 military salaries in the treasury that didn't know where to go, where did the money go?"
I'm afraid someone knows better than me!
”"Zhou Zhongcheng, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," Wen Tiren's cloudy eyes suddenly shone with cold light, and a momentum that covered the four fields made people shudder, so that this bad old man in brocade clothes and jade belt was connected with the power of the empire, only to see him look at Zhou Yanru and say word by word: "The insinuation is not a gentleman's doing!"
”Emperor Chongzhen had returned to the futon at this time, and just wanted to sit down, he stood there again, turned to look at the two powerful ministers facing each other, and even had an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.Under Wen Tiren's forced gaze and the emperor's attention, Zhou Yanru knew that he couldn't take a step back, gritted his teeth and widened his eyes and said: "Let's just say it, more than half of the silver that he Wen Zhengtao embezzled has flowed into the pocket of you, Wen Tiren, a traitor who is a traitor to the country!"
”"What?"
Wen Shoufu didn't defend himself, nor did he refute it, but said without a margin: "How to write the word treacherous?"
It's a female plus a dry.Who doesn't know that I have only one bad wife in my life?
Any woman around!
”said with a smile and said, "But you have eight righteous concubines in the middle of the week, right?"
This treacherous word, the old man forgives it for being uncomfortable, so let's return it to Zhou Zhongcheng. ”"You!
You!
You" It wasn't until the day of the head-to-head confrontation that Zhou Yanru realized how terrible this thousand-year-old demon-like Wen Shoufu was Zhou Yanru was dumbfounded by Wen Tiren, Yao Minggong stood aside silently, but everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the emperor who was standing on the imperial stairs with his hands in his hands, and the hall was as silent as death.Everyone knows very well that Zhou Yanru's rout is a foregone conclusion, and Wen Shoufu seems to be going to return triumphantly, and now he is only waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to give the final verdict.Chongzhen's face was like an ancient well, so that people could not see a clue, his deep gaze swept in front of everyone's eyes, and finally fell on Wen Tiren's face, just like watching an antique, he looked carefully for a while, and looked at Wen Tiren's hairy heart, and then said softly: "Wen Shoufu." ”"The minister is here!"
Wen Tiren hurriedly replied.Chongzhen's face was very complicated, and he stared at him faintly without a moment: "I have some letters here, do you know what they are?"
”As soon as he heard the word letter, Wen Tiren sighed in his heart, and said directly in a trembling voice: "The old minister doesn't know." ”Emperor Chongzhen looked at his face playfully, and said with a faint smile: "You might as well see for yourself!"
”As he spoke, he waved his wide-sleeved robe without fireworks.Wang Chengen took out the tray from behind the emperor and brought them to Wen Tiren.Zhou Yanru was also stunned at this time, and he didn't understand what it meant at all.Wang Chengen held the tray and walked towards Wen Tiren step by step, Wen Tiren had already guessed the content above, and the pride of the Jedi counterattack was gone, replaced by marginal fear, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, trembling all over, if he hadn't sat on the Jindun, I'm afraid he would have been paralyzed to the ground!
But no matter how reluctant Wen Tiren was, Wang Chengen still came to him very much and called softly: "Shoufu, please see." ”Wen Tiren seemed to hear the death knell, looking at the pile of letters, and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren with some meaning, in addition to correcting the recital, his greatest pleasure was to watch the ministers under his power, who were tossed by themselves to die and come back to life, and went insane.So when he saw Wen Shoufu, who was still in high spirits, he became this ghost in a blink of an eye, he trembled slightly, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Look!
”"Yes!"
Wen Tiren finally picked up the pile of letters, opened one tremblingly, glanced at it, and then looked up and said: "Your Majesty, the words are too small, and the minister's presbyopia is too heavy to see clearly." ”"Glasses."
Chongzhen signaled, and a little eunuch in purple came to Wen Tiren with delicate glasses, and said softly: "Please use the first assistant." ”Wen Tiren understood that the emperor was going to force himself to death.He really wanted to be like those pigeons, fluttering away, but after all, he was an old man with no legs and feet, and after all, he couldn't beat his thighs.I had to open the glasses case tremblingly, pick up the royal glasses inside, put them on my eyes, and sighed deeply for a breath of desolation, so I had to look through these fatal letters.As if there was nothing to do after turning this, Wen Shoufu looked at it very slowly, word by word, and could rub it for a while.Like a cat playing with a mouse, Emperor Chongzhen let Wen Tiren rub it off, but Zhou Yanru couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wen Shoufu is old and a little slow to watch, so let Weichen help watch it together." ”"Changqing, what do you think?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked Wen Tirendao.Hearing the emperor call his own words, Wen Tiren's cloudy eyes immediately released a glimmer of hope, they have been friends for so many years, and the emperor has never called his own words in front of everyone.Wen Shoufu blessed his soul, and understood what the emperor meant: For the sake of the past, I will let you go.Wen Tiren looked at the emperor with a begging face, and said pitifully: "The minister himself can do it." ”"Hmm."
Chongzhen nodded, smiled at Zhou Yanru and said, "It seems that Wen Shoufu doesn't need to help." ”Zhou Yanru had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, although he was bold, he didn't dare to go up and grab it.Looking at Wen Shoufu who had collapsed with cold eyes, Emperor Chongzhen said slowly: "Since Shoufu is going to see it for himself, then take it back and give it to your son, as well as those three princes and nine kings." ”"The old minister obeys."
Wen Tiren knocked."
Don't read it once, just read it often, learn from the past, and don't forget it again."
Emperor Chongzhen had a gloomy face and puns on his words."
The old minister will take Wen Zhengtao with him, read it often, and never forget it."
Wen Shoufu's frightened old heart couldn't give any strength anymore, and he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.Chongzhen didn't let people step forward to help, so he let him slump on the ground and said: "There is another thing, that is, many things cannot be indulged, so I will leave this matter to you." ”There was undisguised teasing in his tone.Wen Tiren was now completely convinced, knelt on the ground and said: "The grace of dethronement is all from the Holy One, and the ministers listen to Your Majesty." ”"Huh!
Listen to me?
”Emperor Chongzhen sat on the futon, closed his eyes and said, "Let's take it." ”Zhou Yanru was originally ravaged and disgraced, but now he finally understood what was on those letters, and he was finally happy."
Is there anything else?"
Emperor Chongzhen didn't answer, and asked directly, obviously impatient.So what else can everyone say?
Only at the same time he fell to the ground, and the mountain shouted: "Wait for the resignation!"
”It came out in a stream.After everyone had withdrawn, the tranquility of the hall was restored, Jiang Chuhan turned out from behind the screen, and Emperor Chongzhen sat on the futon with his eyes slightly closed, and asked lightly: "How is it, is this monkey show good?"
”"Good-looking, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chuhan hurriedly bowed his head and said, he didn't dare to say it in his heart, and His Majesty was almost tricked by the monkey."
You guy."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's really a bit slippery." ”ps: Yao Minggong 15831644, the word Kundou, known as "Yao Ge Lao", is a native of Bahe, Xishui County, Hubei Province.In the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty in 1619, he was awarded the title of Jishi, the first Zhan Shi, and the right side of the Ministry of Rites.In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he entered the cabinet in 1639, added the prince Shaobao, a scholar of Yuange University, and participated in the confidential affairs of the Ministry of Households.One year in phase, return to his hometown.Ming Gong was kind-hearted, and once sent a letter to warn his younger brother Jugong to serve as the pastor of Jianzhou, "Jie has loved the people, humbly listened to prison, strictly servitude, and forbade domestic slaves." ”
