Of course, nothing can be as beautiful as Yuan Chonghuan thought, and nothing can be done according to Emperor Chongzhen's idea. Just when Chongzhen was about to sharpen his knife and look at Yuan Chonghuan, a memorial from the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture Ma Wei-chan directly pushed Chongzhen's heart to the bottom.

"My Xi'an magistrate Ma Wei-chan risked his life to worship His Majesty: In March of the first year of Chongzhen, the sky was red like blood, the drought was not rainy, the people's hearts were fluctuating, and the food was not harvested was a foregone conclusion. I am incompetent, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."

Looking at Wen Tiren in front of him, Shi Fenglai and other leaders of the cabinet ministers and factories and guards, Chongzhen signaled Wang Chengen to transfer the memorial to Wen Tiren and others and said, "My dear friends first, what should be the constitution for this matter? Let's discuss it in the court tomorrow and decide what to deal with it earlier."

Wen Tiren said: "I asked Your Majesty, and I thought that you could first transfer some food and then the local governments organized the people to dig wells and get water to save themselves. It should be fine. In addition, Your Majesty can exempt Shaanxi from taxes for three years so that the people know that Your Majesty loves the people."

Chongzhen asked Shi Fenglai, "What do you think about Shi Aiqing?"

Shi Fenglai said, "I also agree with Master Wen's words when I call you. But this tax exemption needs to be considered."

When Chongzhen heard this, he was a little curious. Later generations saw a lot of behaviors that were free from taxes and taxes in TV series, so why did Shi Feng have to consider it when he came here? He asked now: "Why? Is it not a act of loving the people for three years of taxes?"

Shi Fenglai said, "Your Majesty, this tax is inevitable. The people below want to collect it. The income from the country is the state, so they will not force it too much. If the tax is exempted, the people below will exploit the income and fall into their own pockets. At that time, some sluts will inevitably take the opportunity to attack."

Chongzhen quit, but remembered the Changping position arranged before the New Year and the request for tribute and trade grain from various countries in Southeast Asia, and asked: "What happened to the Changping position arranged before the New Year? Are Changping positions in Shaanxi full in all places?"

Wen Tiren replied: "Your Majesty, according to the situation reported below, it is considered full. But there is moisture in it, but it is hard to say."

Chongzhen turned his head and looked at Xu Xianchun and asked, "Where is the Jinyiwei?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "I will tell you, judging from the feedback from hundreds of households in various places below, the Changping stocks in Shaanxi are full, and the dissatisfied are more. Most of them have been privately resold. As for where they go, they are being investigated."

Chongzhen laughed and said, "It's great. What did I say before the New Year? The treasury used the silver to buy emergency food prepared for the people, so they dared to resell it like this? Just to make money? What a courageous person!"

Wen Tiren, Wei Zhongxian and others quickly bowed and said, "Don't calm down."

Wen Tiren said: "The emperor calms down. I am not supervising this matter, and I have a responsibility. When I turn around, I will organize people to investigate and give you an explanation to the world."

Chongzhen sneered, "No need to investigate. Xu Xianchun."

When Xu Xianchun heard this, he bowed and said, "I am here."

Chongzhen sneered: "Carrange the list of these bastards, and arrest people according to the list. There are three tribes. One is missing. I only ask Tian Ergeng."

Tian Ergeng also hurriedly bowed and said, "I am here."

Chongzhen continued: "Look at the folk affairs in Shaanxi for me, so that everyone there will be more concerned. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately. I promise you to go to the palace late at night to report it."

Tian Ergeng said: "I obey the order."

Chongzhen didn't even look at Tian Ergeng, and looked at Wei Zhongxian again: "Your Xichang's men will be spread out. I will keep an eye on Shaanxi. Whether it is the illegal ritual of the Jinyiwei or any disturbances among the people, I will report it to me. If there is any mistake, be careful of your dog's head."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, I will be staring at you tightly. If anyone dares to offend you, I will definitely repay you to the emperor as soon as possible."

After the arrangements were completed, Chongzhen said: "I will come to the court tomorrow and discuss what the regulations should be made for the disaster relief in Shaanxi. I have a little requirement that no ordinary people in Shaanxi can starve to death, and no trouble will occur!"

It was only at the court meeting the next day that Chongzhen deeply realized the shamelessness of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as he finished talking about the severe drought in Shaanxi, the censor immediately jumped out: "I am proposing to Your Majesty, I risk my life to advise you. I think that since Your Majesty's extreme, there have been many killings and killing nine clans at all times. This is God warning Your Majesty."

Chongzhen was angry and laughed, warning you, uncle, if you have a natural disaster, you will think of putting shit on the emperor's head, right?

Although Chongzhen was extremely angry at this moment, he still smiled and said, "With my beloved, I am now guilty of my own decree?"

As soon as the three words "Sinful Edict" were released, Hulala fell to his knees in the court. All the ministers, led by the chief minister Wen Tiren, shouted: "I will die."

Chongzhen did not shout for justice, letting his ministers kneel down, and sneered: "God warns me? Is this saying that I have lost my morality?"

When the censor heard this, he took off his official hat, put it on the ground, and kowtowed, "I dare not. I just think that Your Majesty should be the best in the heart of heaven and reflect on himself. In this way, it should be a good weather."

Chongzhen sneered, "I issued an edict to never add a tribute. Is it because I lost my virtue? I have retired Jiannu, is it because I have lost my virtue?"

When the ministers heard this, they said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and kind, long live my emperor."

Chongzhen ignored the flattery of the monarch and his ministers, and then said, "The reason why I lost my virtue is that I have killed too many people? Then my censor came to tell me, which one should not be killed? Is it him, Zhou Yanru, who should not be killed? Or is it that the two disciples who were picking and cutting should not be killed? Or is it that Zhang Pu should not be killed?"

Then the censor was not a fool? How could he not hear the murderous aura in Chongzhen's tone? He immediately said: "I am guilty, but I am afraid."

Chongzhen continued, "What are you afraid of? If I am slandering you today, I am afraid you will be able to gain a reputation for being so arrogant tomorrow? You can't see the severe drought in Shaanxi, and you can't see the corruption of officials. But you can't see the death of a few damn people? Since that's the case, I will fulfill you!"

After saying that, he ignored the censor's horrified expression and said to Wei Liangqing directly: "Take off his official uniform and drag it out, and the court cannon is eighty."

What good thing is Wei Liangqing? As Wei Zhongxian's son, he had already thought about the way he touched the mind, and immediately took the order and said, "I obey the order." After that, he brought a few generals of the Jinyiwei and dragged the censor out.

After a while, Wei Liangqing came to report: "Your Majesty, the Censor was punished and he has gone."

Chongzhen looked at the ministers who were still kneeling on the ground and said, "I forgot my powers and gods without saying anything. Since I have accepted the orders of heaven and become the emperor, and there is no place for any virtue, God will blame me well? Think carefully about how to do what I have told me. Whoever dares to talk about anything or not? Be careful that this is a role model!"
