Chapter 604 Conclusion

Standing respectfully aside, Chen Hong waited for Emperor Tianqi's instructions. Without Emperor Tianqi's nod, naturally there was no way this matter would be accomplished.

Looking back at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, curved the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Chen Hong, who gave you this idea? Or who told you, I

Is there no one around to take care of you?" After saying this, Emperor Tianqi ignored Chen Hong and turned around to leave.

Standing there in a daze, Chen Hong suddenly felt a cold breeze blowing from his neck. A gust of breeze blew by, and Chen Hong shivered violently. The expression on his face became very ugly, and his eyes became sharp. Look.

Seeing the disappearing figure of Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hong breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The emperor came to Nanjing to suppress the rebellion. If a female talent was selected at this time, what would be the news outside? I am afraid that another Sui Yang Emperor would be concocted! Emperor Sui Yang went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, and the emperor probably went to Jiangnan to find women.

.Now there are already rumors that Emperor Tianqi is cruel and unkind. If we add the word lustful, I am afraid that the name of this faint emperor will be determined.

Public opinion in this era is very monotonous. Who is in the hands of public opinion? In the hands of scholars! Ordinary people do not understand anything and regard the words of scholars as truth. If Mr. Zhao from the village private school said something, the entire village

10% of the people would believe it. Why did Mr. Zhao say it with all his heart? Because it was said by Zhang Juren in the county. Where did Zhang Juren get the news? It was from the provincial capital.

If it is passed down like this, ordinary people may not be able to hear the truth of the matter. As the saying goes, three people become a tiger, but so many people may not necessarily be what they are.

At this time, Chen Hong broke out in a cold sweat. He told the emperor this proposal, and the emperor already understood that the person who came up with this idea had evil intentions. However, the emperor's trust in him was false. If he did not believe that this was his idea, he would

With what I just said.

After thinking about it, Chen Hong sighed helplessly. He had no way to investigate this matter! As long as he insisted that it was for the sake of the emperor, he had no choice but to admit this mute. But this wouldn't be the first time.

.It definitely won’t be the second time. Next time I want to admit it, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.

Time slowly arrived in mid-October, and the entire city of Nanjing had almost recovered. Businesses were doing business, and the entire city of Nanjing was once again prosperous. However, all the officials were waiting, waiting for the outcome of the case. The entire Ming Dynasty

The official circles are paying attention. Many people are not paying attention to how the emperor will deal with these people, but are paying attention to the vacant official positions.

But Emperor Tianqi didn't care very much. The three provinces and six ministries in Nanjing were in name only, and this organizational system must be preserved. Now that the north and the south are too far apart, and the exchange of information remains unchanged, the existence of the three provinces and six ministries in Nanjing is necessary. But there are many things that cannot be said.

The officialdom and people of the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have adapted to this management method, and they can't change it for the time being.

After being dressed by Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi prepared to go to the morning court. The case was almost finished. He wanted to understand the case as soon as possible. Emperor Tianqi also had to arrange other things. After all, he came to Nanjing not just for

In the case of rebellion, I still have a big chess move to make. If I make this move well, I will lay the foundation for my future actions.

"Your Majesty, the governors of the seven southern provinces have arrived, and they are also waiting to attend the morning court." Chen Hong was only responsible for passing the news to Emperor Tianqi. As for other things, it was not his place or his ability to ask.

He nodded slowly. Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to say to them in the morning. After the morning, you take them to the back. I have something to say to them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong nodded seriously. He knew that Emperor Tianqi must have something important to do when he was cooking in such a big way.

"If you have something to do, please report early, if nothing happens, leave the court!" In Chen Hong's shout, Emperor Tianqi's second morning court in Nanjing began.

His eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, and Emperor Tianqi's eyes fell on Guan Yingzhen. This case was presided over by him. In fact, there was no need for a trial. He could just punish the guilty directly. Emperor Tianqi

The task assigned to them is also very simple, that is, to sentence these people.

"Your Majesty, I have concluded the rebellion case and now I will submit my order to the Emperor!" Guan Yingzhen also knew that Emperor Tianqi was waiting for him to speak, so he walked out quickly and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "I am very relieved that Aiqing is doing things, and it has indeed lived up to my expectations. Now that I have mentioned it, I will tell you the result, Aiqing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I have already drawn up the charges after a joint trial with the three divisions. Uncle An Xiang, Cheng Yi and others disobeyed me and attempted to commit rebellion. They are really unpardonable crimes. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the three tribes should be punished." Guan Ying

Zhen also knew very well that this matter must be severely punished, and there was no room for negotiation.

The officials below all looked at Guan Yingzhen in surprise. This official bachelor was so ruthless! Why didn't he notice it before? Guan Yingzhen knew very well that the emperor wanted to defeat the power of these people this time.

After all, if we only kill the culprits, we will never achieve the purpose of cleansing.

Although Guan Yingzhen felt a little guilty, in his opinion, these people definitely deserved to die. There was no need to tolerate these people for smuggling and collaborating with pirates.

Emperor Tianqi sat on a chair, looked at the ministers below expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, I don't know what you think, you can tell me!"

"Your Majesty, these people are treasonous and committed crimes. They actually sent people to assassinate the Emperor with the intention of mutiny. It is really a heinous crime and cannot be punished. I ask that the three clans be punished as a warning to others!" Wang Lun, the censor of Zuodu of the Imperial Procuratorate, stood up and said,

He bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi and said seriously.

Now the ministers once again looked at each other. In fact, many people felt that the crime of punishing the three tribes was a bit excessive. The Ming Dynasty had not had such a punishment for many years, but no one would stand up to plead for mercy, because there had been no one in the Ming Dynasty for many years.

Dare to rebel so blatantly. Of course, those local rebellions are not included, those just need to be wiped out.

The rebellion that occurred among the ruled class and the rebellion that occurred among the ruling class are not the same. But in this case, no one expected Wang Lun to stand up. Many people thought that Wang Lun was seeking personal revenge, but

Wang Lun himself knew in his heart what Emperor Tianqi was thinking. This was just Wang Lun showing off in front of Emperor Tianqi. As for the life and death of those people, it actually didn't matter.

After looking around and seeing no one speaking, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Since I came to the throne, I have not dared to slack off at all. I have done something. If one day I meet the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, I will be considered to have done something.

As explained.”

"This time someone caused rebellion, I am heartbroken. I feel that I have nothing to do with them. However, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately. Punishing the three tribes is really too harsh, and I can't bear it!" Emperor Tianqi sighed softly.

He said with a complicated tone.

"It's enough to kill one family. Don't kill three clans. Let's handle this matter like this! However, I will not tolerate those who commit rebellion. The Jin Yiwei will investigate carefully and severely punish those who are involved in the rebellion case."

Missing." After saying this, Emperor Tianqi stood up, turned around and walked out.

Many ministers were confused, but many people understood it! Emperor Tianqi did not punish the three tribes, not out of mercy, but to show his kindness. No matter what the facts are, everyone will praise: The emperor is merciful!

However, what many people care about is what Emperor Tianqi said next. Jin Yiwei continued to investigate and deal with the case, which means that it is very likely that you will be charged with a crime, which is to raid your home and arrest people. It seems that the emperor wants to take advantage of the family members of the criminals.

In order to hold on to their lives, these people would probably agree to any conditions. They could only keep it in their hearts if they just guessed it, and no one dared to say it out loud. However, their awe for Emperor Tianqi deepened once again.

After returning to the harem, Emperor Tianqi did not wait long, and the ministers outside came in. Not only the governors from various places participated in this meeting, but also the guard eunuchs and the eunuchs of the Shipping Department. However, no one knew that Emperor Tianqi had put these things in his hands.

What do people do here, but at this time, I'm afraid there is nothing good going on.

"I came to you today with only one thing. I plan to reopen the shipping company! You should all know that since the Jiajing Dynasty, there has been only one shipping company in Guangdong. Now there is no money in the treasury, and I believe that all of you dear friends will also

It’s clear, I’m going to reopen the sea trade, I wonder what you think?” Emperor Tianqi glanced at everyone’s faces and said expressionlessly.

In fact, there is no political resistance to the opening of the sea now. The foundation was already laid for the opening of the sea in Longqing. However, during the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates broke out along the coast, and all shipping companies were closed down, leaving only one in Guangdong. At present, it has been

With a navy, how could Emperor Tianqi give up such a profitable business as sea trade?

With the increase in population in the Ming Dynasty, land annexation has become very serious. Zhu Yuanzhang established that the privileged class does not pay taxes, which made Emperor Tianqi scratch his head. If taxes were imposed, it would be the wrong thing for the whole world. There is a Jinshi in the family.

, the entire family no longer has to pay taxes. If Emperor Tianqi abolishes this ban, I am afraid that it will not only be opposition from officials, but also ordinary people's opposition.

Nowadays, many refugees have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. If they are not controlled, they will definitely become bandits in the end. These people who have no land to cultivate are the source of disaster for the entire Ming Dynasty. However, in the view of Emperor Tianqi, these people who were liberated from the land will definitely become bandits.

Labor force, that is wealth, huge wealth! (To be continued...)
