By the time we cut the alive and Shen Xiuting, it was already slowly coming to the afternoon, and the sun had already set in the north.

This time, the victims of Lantian finally ate a bowl of thick and thick porridge. Although they could not be steamed, they were better than clean water.

Moreover, the emperor of the dynasty personally promised that after a period of time, someone would arrange for young and strong people to go to work, and no matter what they do, they would have wages and enough food to eat.

For a moment, more than 20,000 disaster victims were considered stable. The people's hearts, which were still a little fluctuating, had completely settled down at this time. No one thought about what was there and was just waiting for the government to organize people to start the work.

As for what they do, these people don’t care at all. Even if they are mining or going to open a mountain, as long as they can have enough food, who cares?

Even if the matter of Lantian was resolved, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately refused to let Ma Weixian go, so he simply took him through Xianning County and headed towards Chang'an County.

When passing Xianning County, Ma Weiyu's heart was in his throat. If Emperor Chongzhen discovered something bullshit, he might as well wipe his neck, or find a place to hang himself on his own. If the emperor was furious, he would cut himself into pieces, it would be terrible to think about it.

Fortunately, although there are no fewer victims in Xianning County than in Lantian, the situation is much better than in Lantian County. Even though the victims are as hungry as they are, they have never seen anyone starving to death along the way.

Therefore, although Emperor Chongzhen's face was still not good-looking, there were no other monsters. This alone made Ma Wei-chan secretly make up his mind to promote Xianning County magistrate.

However, Mavie did not know what Murphy's Law was. If he knew it, he would warmly greet the eighteen generations of ancestors who proposed this law.

The more fucking you are worried about, the more you come.

Emperor Chongzhen intended to make trouble. Anyway, he could not stay in the inn and inns, so he would only take small paths or just take camping by the woods.

But if you walk too much at night, you will eventually meet ghosts. Even if you are the emperor, Chongzhen will always encounter some unexpected things.

Just outside the woods outside Chang'an County, Emperor Chongzhen pulled out a bonfire in front of him and asked Ma Wei: "It's the third day from Ma Aiqing to Lantian County, and then today. I wonder what Ma Aiqing feels?"

Ma Weiqiu bowed and said, "I only think that the people are worthy of your Majesty? When I encounter this great disaster, there are still people who are in trouble. I am incompetent, corrupt people cannot observe, and suffering people cannot save them. I am frightened. After the Xi'an Prefecture is settled, I should submit my resignation to Your Majesty and return home without asking about the court."

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Is that over?"

Seeing Ma Wei's speech inconsistent words, Chongzhen continued, "You are a minister, but not a good official."

Ma Wei-chan was puzzled. How could a good minister not be a good official? Although he has become a little more pedantic and stupid in comforting the people, he asked himself that he is still diligent and has never slacked off. How could he not be considered a good official?

When Chongzhen saw Ma Wei-chan looking at him with a eager expression, he laughed and said, "As an official, there are honest officials and corrupt officials. The name of an official is opened and the word "officials" is opened, and the hands are taken.

Do Ma Aiqing thinks I like the people I kill every day?

I don’t like killing people either. They are all living lives. If I kill them like this, I can’t bear it.

However, Ma Aiqing knew why since I was at the extreme, I have been killing three clans and nine clans. When I was outside the border, I personally ordered the slaughter of dozens of tribes? You must know that dozens of tribes and tens of thousands of people are babies in the cradle, and I have never let them go."

When Ma Wei-chan heard this, he was shocked at first. Emperor Chongzhen killed people on the grassland, and everyone knew that. Even in Mingfa’s edict, it also mentioned that “Lin Dan is not a minister, I personally challenge him and the clan will be destroyed by more than ten.”

But I didn't expect that today I heard Emperor Chongzhen say that he personally ordered that he would not let go of the baby, and that it was more than a dozen tribes.

This has greatly damaged one's own cognition. After all, since he started learning from his hair, what he has learned is "the warriors, the weapon, and the saints have to use it." Or "Although the country is big, it will perish if it is wary." Why did everything change when it came to the emperor of that day?

Chongzhen, however, did not care what Ma Wei-chan was thinking, and continued: "In the Ming Dynasty, all I killed were corrupt officials, and those who harmed the people. On the grassland, I massacred foreign races and barbarians.

If the foreign barbarians integrate into our Ming Dynasty in the future and serve our Ming people, I will certainly regard it as one. But now, this is a national war that will never end. Those bullshit scholars have just read a few books and chatter all day long, as if I was killing their relatives.

But they can't think about what if I don't kill all these barbarians, what should I do when the barbarians come to kill our Ming people? With a few words of saints and a great country's mind, can we retreat to the enemy?

As for these corrupt officials, it is even more ridiculous. How many officials in the court are corrupt? How many have I killed more? Is he Wei Zhongxian greedy? Is he Cui Chengxiu greedy? He Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai greedy? But have I killed them?

Which one I killed is not a corrupt and harmful to the people?

In my opinion, it’s nothing to be greedy for a little money. But it can’t harm the people. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said well, “The king is a boat, and the people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. Once these harming people force the people to rebel against the people, it will be a great chaos in the world. Ma Aiqing, do you think, can I tolerate them?”

But Ma Weiying deeply hated why he had such ears. It was not a good thing to tell a minister that the emperor was thinking about. If there was a little news that spread outside, the minister would probably not be able to survive.

But now I heard it. Even though I started sweating on my forehead at this time, I didn’t dare to wipe it. I had to stand up and bow and said, “I only know your Majesty’s hard work today.”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a long way to go. I just said that you are a good minister but not a good official, and there is a reason.

As the saying goes, one official will benefit the people. If you can make the Xi'an Prefecture a great rule, even if there are no victims starving to death during natural disasters, then you are a good official.

However, you have respect and loyalty, but your ability to govern the local area is insufficient. Therefore, I say that you are a good minister, not a good official.

After this matter, don’t resign, go to Beijing to be a censor. Go out for me and take a good look at the world and see how many places there are like Lantian County.

I promise you to use the quick report from the Jinyiwei and the post station to report these matters to me."

Ma Weiyu swallowed secretly. Today, he could no longer help himself. The emperor said that he had forced himself to tie up. In the future, he could only be at ease to be an imperial party, or a current eunuch party. If there was a word of no, I was afraid that there would be an extra corpse on the street tomorrow.

After a little bit of trouble, Ma Wei-chan had to bow and say, "I thank you for your favor, and I will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's rest first. I'll get a look at Chang'an County tomorrow."

Ma Wei was about to bow his hand, but heard a loud shout from afar: "Hurry up, stop this kid!"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and whispered to Zhu Gang who was rushing over quickly, saying, "What happened?"

Zhu Gang bowed and said, "I heard from Your Majesty, there are a few men in front of you chasing a young man. The young man may have seen the fire here and is running here."

Chongzhen nodded, thinking that this was the legendary halo of the protagonist who must have something to do when he went out? I just picked a little wood, and could he have a damn thing to chase him in the middle of the night? Could it be that the young man who was chased has any secret treasures? Or martial arts secrets? And the treasure map?

The interested Emperor Chongzhen said, "Is there any problem with letting them over?"

Zhu Gang grinned and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are just a few strong men without crossbows. Even if there are more, it will not be a problem."

Chongzhen nodded and said, "I'm very curious when I let them come here."

Zhu Gang bowed again and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, let's make arrangements for me now."

After saying that, he went to arrange the Jinyiwei lurking outside and signaled to let these people come over.

As expected by Emperor Chongzhen, the young man who was chased was indeed running towards this side.

Chongzhen couldn't help but complain, should you shout help next?

Sure enough, the young man ran away and shouted, "Help!", but just shouted, but then continued, "Run quickly! The people behind him have a knife in their hands!"

Emperor Chongzhen's mouth twitched, but shouted: "Come here! I have some guards here!"

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he ran to Emperor Chongzhen, not far away.

Looking at the young man who was panting in front of him, bent down to hold his knee and gasping for breath, Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "That boy, who are you? Why are someone chasing you?"

The young man's breathing was slowly evenly enough. Hearing this, he straightened up and bowed, "I have met the young master. My surname is Chen, and his name is Qiqi. He is originally from Shanxi. He is a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi. The son of Chen Zheng, the magistrate of Chang'an County. Because he was traveling outside, he met a strong man, so he ran here."

Ma Wei-chan felt his head explode.

It seems that the emperor is right, he is indeed not a good official. This situation actually happened under his rule. When could these strong men be so rampant?

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Ma Weiying first, and then said lightly: "It's okay, when you arrive at this young master, you will be safe."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he heard a laughing voice: "Toad yawns, you are so loud!"

Seeing that it was the strong man named Chen Zuqi who rushed over, Chongzhen smiled and said, "What's wrong? I won't say anything? Tell me, why are you chasing this young man?"

After all, after being an emperor for a long time, he was the emperor who had fought with his queen. He was very arrogant than ordinary people. Although he only had four guards standing by his side, he still dared not underestimate him.

The killers looked up and down, and the leader said, "The young man doesn't know where the young man came from. But the young man takes money and wants to eliminate disasters for others. As long as the boy dies, the matter will be resolved. The young man must not make mistakes."

Oh, he is still talking about the morality of the world? As the leader of the world's largest club today, Emperor Chongzhen came up with a bad taste: "I'm asking you what you want to say, are you talking about something else? Tell me, why are you chasing him? If this kid is not, I'll hand him over to you!"

The killer in the lead said in a deep voice: "It may not be a good thing if you know too much! The four guards and a butler around the young master can block the ten brothers behind him?"

Chongzhen smiled and continued, "Why, relying on the large number of people, I'll eat Master Ding, right?"

The killer in the lead laughed and said, "I dare not, I dare not. It's just that there are many people here, but it's an indisputable fact. If the young master must keep this boy and fight for a while, he must be careful of the sword without eyes!"

Listening to the threat from the killer, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "That's fine, let me see what a lot of people means today!"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Zhu Gang and Fang Zhenghua, who were standing beside Emperor Chongzhen, shouted at the same time.

A group of people stood up with shadows on the ground next to them, on the edge of the woods, and in the grass. A dozen killers held the knife in their hands tightly at the same time.

This matter is troublesome today. These people are dressed in the dress of soldiers from the Daming Guard. I don’t know what the noble prince who is resting here is. There are actually hundreds of soldiers from the guards guarding him.

What made these killers even more frightened was that among the soldiers of these guards, many of them had already set their bows and arrows and aimed at them.

The killer in the lead was decisive and shouted: "Retreat!" and wanted to lead these ten killers out.

Chen Zuqi, who was hunted, saw that the noble young master was guarded by the soldiers of the guard station, and even though he was unidentified, he thought it would not be his own opponents. He immediately shouted: "Please stop them! They killed his father, Chang'an County Magistrate!"

Chongzhen tightened his eyebrows and shouted, "Take it!"

Upon hearing this, the guards of the Jinyiwei pointed the bow and arrow in their hands at the lower three routes of the killers, aimed a little, and shot them directly.

After the killers fell to the ground due to leg injuries, the captains in the Jinyiwei rushed forward, reached out and pinched the killer's chin. With a little force, they all dislocated their chin. Then, they used their hands to search the killer's door, and after taking out a bean-sized pill from their teeth, they tied up the killers and brought them to Chongzhen to report.

Chongzhen said with a cold face: "After saying that, what's going on?"

The killer who led the lead snorted very tough and replied: "No one has appointed him for personal grudges."

Chongzhen waved his hand in disgust and ordered Zhu Gang: "I'll leave it to you, and ask for the cause and effect."

Zhu Gang bowed and said, "Yes."
