Chongzhen's words made the court officials cover their faces with their sleeves, and their faces were red and unstable.

Immediately, the censor came out to report: "I will report to Your Majesty. Mencius said: If the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the minister treats the king as his heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats the king as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats the king as an enemy. What Your Majesty says now is not what a wise king does."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "In this way, isn't it mine?"

The censor said: "I dare not."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Just just now, you said that you didn't have much money at home, so you just sold your house to help the national crisis?"

So my dear, let me tell you, what is the newly installed outdoor room in Dongsi Hutong? Where did the two thousand taels of silver that you redeem for your outdoor room come from?

I really have no property under my name, but where does the more than 300 acres of fertile land under my youngest brother from my family come from?"

The censor knelt in a hurry and said, "I am afraid! I... am guilty!"

Chongzhen didn't even look at the censor, and then said, "What are you afraid of? How dare you do it and don't dare to act?

Chen Mo, whose courtesy name is Buyan, was originally a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi, and in the sixth year of Tianqi, he became the censor.

In just two years, you took three concubines and had two outdoor rooms outside. The mansion costs more than 3,000 taels of silver per month. Chen Aiqing came to tell me where the money came from?"

The censor knew that he had no luck and no longer made any excuses. He just knelt on the ground and remained silent.

Chongzhen ignored it and continued, "Your beloved also has a member of the Yongchang Piao Number? Is it good to have money to take if you don't do anything every day? Isn't it hot to take this money?"

After saying this, Chongzhen simply walked down the imperial steps, passed the civil and military ministers, and came to Zhou Guohou's position, and said, "Boss Jiading was originally a fortune teller on the street. Since Zhou entered the palace of Prince Xin, his beloved minister has ascended the sky and is now even more noble as the father-in-law. But Jiading Boss Jiading teaches me, where did the more than 200,000 taels of silver come from? How much fertile land is there for the city to seize? But Jiading Boss really thinks that being a father-in-law can be seen in the face of being unable to tell me?"

Ignoring Zhou Guohou, who was sweating profusely, Chongzhen returned to the imperial stairs, glanced at the ministers below, and said, "The country has raised scholars for three hundred years. You are here every day to teach you the ancestors and ancestors! But you forgot the ancestors and the people who are not allowed to be fished! Forgot that corruption will be skinned!

The state has been very generous to you before, but what I have received is that I regard you as my confidant, and you regard you as an enemy!”

Looking at the important officials in the court kneeling down, Chongzhen suddenly burst out with evil fire and said angrily: "Tian Ergeng, where is Cao Huachun?"

Tian Ergeng hurriedly came out and said, "I am here!"

Cao Huachun also said: "The slave is here!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers and said angrily: "Censor Chen Mo, who deceived the emperor and was corrupt! He was searching the house with Jinyiwei! Chen Mo himself peeled the skin and was hung in the Wumen Gate and was extremely accompanied by Huang Li! After Jiannu retreated, the three tribes were exiled to the miasma in Lingnan and were pardoned! Investigating the land in the family, all of them should be in the imperial village!"

When he heard that Emperor Chongzhen was dealing with it so heavily, the chief assistant Wen Tiren had to come out to listen to the comments: "Your Majesty, Chen Mo should be corrupt, and he has his own laws and regulations. What are the three tribes? I think your Majesty punishes too much, so I hope your Majesty will be careful."

Chongzhen stared at Wen Tiren and said, "What are the reasons for the three tribes? Lord Wen told me, why are the people who have taken away the land by his family?! Who among the people in the other tribe has never received his benefits? The young brother in the family has obtained more than 300 acres of fertile land, and the people in the tribe have been covered by him and have never paid a penny of tax for the state court! Only then can one person achieve the truth, and the chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven! Since he has obtained the benefits, he will naturally suffer the pain together!"

After saying that, he ignored Wen Tiren and said to the ministers: "The law of the Ming Dynasty, all military and civilians are not allowed to provide advice. If there are any military and civilians, it is possible to have a department, a wise man in the wild, a heroic man, a simple farmer, and a merchant skill. No one can stop him. But the student is not allowed.

Now, Qian, a student in Beijing, ruthlessly discussed the government affairs and slandered the palace. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he removed the fame of the student and was sent back to the Jinyiwei.

Ignoring those ministers who were shocked by his sudden and ruthless disposal of the students, Chongzhen said to Cao Huachun: "The empress was incompetent in discipline and studied in the family for three months. She was not allowed to go in and out of the harem without an imperial edict. The father-in-law Zhou Kui accepted filial piety and occupied the land of the people. He discussed the rule of the Ming Dynasty and did not pursue the prosecution. However, since the Ming Dynasty had laws, there would be laws that would be followed, and violations would be investigated. His orders, Jiading Bo's eldest son had received his father's son and ordered him to commit suicide! The Dongchang investigated the land occupied by Jiading Bo's Mansion, and he should have been conquered into the imperial village. Jiannu retreated and then dealt with it."

After hearing Chongzhen's disposal, Zhou Guozhang was so scared that he realized that what his daughter summoned him last night was not just a joke!

The father-in-law of Zhou, who came to his senses, hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty! I am guilty! I am willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver! I am willing to donate all my property! Your Majesty, please spare me this time!"

Chongzhen looked at Zhou Guozhang and sneered: "Is Jiading Bo a family passed down from poetry and books? Isn't farming and studying a living? How come he has a net worth of 200,000 taels?!

I have given you a chance yesterday. If you don’t know what to do, who will blame me?"

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Guohou who was crying and Chongzhen said to his ministers: "You remember, what I give you is yours. If I don't give you, who dares to extend his hand to confiscate the family and destroy the clan!"

"Retreat!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was killed in the court again, had to kill people and killed people in the court, felt that he had no face to face the queen, so he simply ordered someone to change himself into the extremely coquettish golden armor and headed to Deshengmen again.

But this time, Chongzhen brought Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin with him, and the three of them went there together, intending to find Mangui to discuss how to trick Jiannu.

Emperor Chongzhen ran away, and the court was dispersed. Only then did Zhou Guohou realize that none of the ministers in the court who had been close to him in the past stood up and spoke for him. Only then did he understand what his daughter said, and angered the emperor, but the consequences were not something that his family could bear.

However, several bigwigs of the Donglin Party gave each other a wink and then dispersed. After returning home, everyone had different thoughts. For a moment, the capital was about to storm and wind filled the building.

When it was time to be near the curfew in the evening, the big bosses of the Donglin Party gathered in the Cabinet’s auxiliary minister Zhou Yanru.

After relinquishing all the servants, Zhou Yanru first spoke: "If you are cruel today, you may be the king of Zhou, and you will not be able to serve as a ancestral temple!" This set the tone for this conversation.

Hou Xun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Yes, today I would like to use eunuch party and factory guards, so I am afraid that the country will not be in trouble! We, a gentleman in Donglin, should clear the emperor's side and be a priest temple!"

Another person shouted: "Be careful! Do you want to rebel? We are for the sake of the country and the country, how can we clear the king's side?"
