"Huang Daozhou is really damn." The emperor slapped the table again, and then said to the eunuch Sili who came to deliver the memorial: "This is sent by the cabinet, and there is no ticket?"

"This memorial was said to be sent to the cabinet first. The cabinet did not dare to submit it, so he asked Huang Daozhou to take it back. Later, Huang Daozhou sent it directly from Huiji Gate. The servants and others dared not block China and abroad, so they had to send it to the emperor."

This was also Chongzhen's own strict order. He sent memorials to the Sili Supervisor. Sili was not allowed to send memorials. During the period when Wei Zhongxian was in power, some not very important memorials were not sent to the imperial court at all, and were directly handled by the Sili Supervisor.

Chongzhen's face was flushed with anger. Wang Dehua came forward to read a few paragraphs, and his face was pale even scared.

Huang Daozhou was quite straightforward and admitted that the Ming Dynasty had reached the critical moment of national destruction, while Huang Daozhou asserted that the root of this situation lies in Emperor Chongzhen himself.

Huang Daozhou believed that the emperor was extremely decisive in dealing with Wei Yi's party and there was no problem, but he was too concerned about the matter of Hutchison. Although Hutchison was a rebellion and Zhang Han was also a perverse person with ulterior motives, his intentions were not revealed. The court should have slowly taken it, and he took over the role of Hutchison's business step by step, then sorted out the nine sides, adjusted the finances, and rested with the people, so that Xuanda people would attach importance to the court, rather than eagerly trying to do it and misplaced the arrangements, which resulted in a mess.

Then, the bandits were not decisively blocked, causing the bandits to turmoil in the provinces, which directly made the situation in the north worse.

The most important thing is that Huang Daozhou pointed out that the powerful and wealthy people in the capital were stocking up a large amount of grain, and even the official shops of the relatives bought a large amount of grain in Beijing, competing for profit with the people, and making a fortune. The emperor knew nothing and had no choice but to make any decision. This was obviously because the emperor first came to Dabao, was not familiar with military and political affairs, and did not take major issues with people's livelihood in mind.

Now that the food price has reached such a high level, let alone the people, even gentry, merchants, and even low-ranking civil and military officials, they are in hunger. If this continues, it is not impossible to starve hundreds of thousands or millions of people to death.

In such a situation, the emperor did not have to think too much. He needed to quickly extinguish the thieves who threatened the grain transport and quickly supervise the grain to Beijing. Before the grain ship arrived, he should strictly order local officials in the south to raise more grain and transport it north, and at the same time, he should do his best to release millions of stones of grain from the Great Warehouse of Tongzhou to rescue the emergency.

Huang Daozhou believes that millions of stones of grain are enough to make tens of millions of soldiers and civilians survive the most difficult two months.

Two months later, the thief was vulnerable, and the grain transportation was repeatedly opened. A large amount of official grain was transported north, which could help the difficulties in the north. At the turn of spring and summer, spring harvest was imminent, and wild vegetables and fruits were everywhere, so it was difficult for the people to starve to death.

In short, it is time to rescue the emperor, and Huang Daozhou wondered why the emperor could not make up his mind early, which caused the people to suffer such pain. The emperor's many missteps were obviously lacking in the necessary serious study. He advised the emperor to open up the scriptures early, select pure Confucian teachings, and learn the way of saints, so as to be helpful for governing the country...

Chongzhen was obviously very angry when he saw the end. Huang Daozhou did not consider the young emperor's strong mentality at all, and even if he considered it, he still ignored it.

In the hearts of these pure Confucians, if you have something to say, you should speak directly, and you should ridicule the king's faults, rather than meet the king's favor. Only by speaking out in pain and making the emperor stand above the great path of the saint's teachings can you be worthy of what you have learned throughout your life and the salary given by the court.

"Catch him, hurry up and grab him." Chongzhen was so angry that he trembled all over. Huang Daozhou took off his last robe to cover his shame. In addition to affirming that he captured Wei Zhongxian, Huang Daozhou's view has not done anything right since the emperor ascended the throne. Moreover, the emperor is not easy to learn, stubborn, paranoid and impatient... This is actually a very pertinent evaluation. If a person can face himself and change himself with a reminder, it is the model of a wise king and a wise man. Of course it is obvious that Emperor Chongzhen is not the monarch under this template, and he obviously trusts himself more.

Just looking at the Chongzhen Dynasty, no minister could establish his own solid power network to do things, you can understand it. As cunning as Zhou Yanru and as forbearing as Wen Tiren in the face of the court, they received very bad reviews and did a lot of bad things, but it was precisely because they could do the longest time under Chongzhen, and other prime ministers or ordinary cabinet ministers were driven out of the cabinet at most a year.

The emperor was so angry that Cao Huachun knew that Huang Daozhou would not be able to survive, so he immediately replied: "I will do it immediately!"

"Don't send it to the Northern Institute." Chongzhen shouted: "Catch it outside the Meridian Gate and fight a hundred wars!"

"Yes, I obey the order!"

Cao Huachun was shocked. Many Donglin Party members were killed during the Tianqi period, but they did not openly kill them. They were all killed in the Jinyiwei North Institute. If the emperor caught a famous scholar like Huang Daozhou and was killed in the Meridian Gate, his reputation would not only ruin it, but it would also cause serious emotional rebound from the court officials.

Cao Huachun looked at Wang Dehua, and when he saw the other party nodding, he bowed and retreated. Seeing the emperor's angry face twisted, Cao Huachun did not dare to be negligent and turned around and walked out.

"If you can't kill him, you will die!" The emperor still roared at Cao Huachun in the distance, and then threw the memorials on the imperial desk all over the ground.

...

When Cao Huachun went out, he quickly sent someone to notify the cabinet. Such major events usually happened to the cabinet and pleaded with the emperor. There was a precedent during the Jiajing period, and Hai Rui was rescued by the cabinet. Then several times during the Wanli period, Shen Shixing and other cabinet masters had examples of saving people under the emperor.

During the Tianqi period, the cabinet also saved people many times, some successful and some unsuccessful. In the end, the cabinet became a vassal of Wei Zhongxian, so of course there was no question of whether to save people or not.

At the same time as the notice, Cao Huachun sent a fan to Huang Daozhou's mansion to get people, but he did not go by himself. Huang Daozhou, an ordinary civil servant, didn't have to worry about him running away.

When the news came from the cabinet, it was suddenly filled with sorrow.

Han Du has not returned to the cabinet from his hometown. Now Shi Fenglai is the chief minister, Zhang Ruitu, Li Biao, and Liu Hongxun are the cabinet ministers. Han Du has not arrived yet, and there are still a few people who have been very popular and have not entered the cabinet, but it is probably soon.

The emperor was quite dissatisfied with the cabinet in this world, and was dissatisfied with the chief minister Shi Fenglai. Everyone knew that they were just taking the trap for Han Yu and others first, and when Han Yu and others arrived, they abdicated and left. Most of these people were involved in the eunuch party. Even if they were not genuine eunuch party, they were still the kind of good-looking official and tumbler type who had no political views and did not offend others. In the cabinet, they would be fine as long as they were timid towards Wei Zhongxian, Gu Bingqian and others, and they would not dare to take any responsibility.

"Mr. Huang is really troublesome. What should I do if I want to write this book?" Shi Fenglai was very dissatisfied and said, "I don't want to do much trouble, so the emperor will make a decision."

The ministers looked at each other. After a while, Zhang Ruitu said: "I have already resigned and returned to my hometown. Those who retire will not have to cause trouble."

Li Biao and Liu Hongxun were speechless. When they decided to make up, they heard that the Dongchang military service had brought Huang Daozhou to the front of the Meridian Gate. There were many officials who heard the news. Huang Daozhou's same year and his friends, Wen Zhenmeng, Wang Qiaonian, Yang Tianxi and dozens of others rushed to the outside of the Meridian Gate to knock on the palace to see the emperor for a request. Some unrelated officials, including many officials, censors, and some middle and lower-level civil officials, soon gathered more than a hundred people.

However, the inner court ignored it, and the emperor asked the eunuch Xiaoyu to withdraw immediately, otherwise he would have to be registered and punished afterwards.

Under such stern words, except for a few who had been in conflict with Huang Daozhou, most of the officials could only retreat and no one dared to persevere.

These are the sluggish and corrupt officials in the officialdom after the Tianqi period were deposed, dismissed, and even killed. Such a scene would have been a turbulent situation in the early years of Tianqi period. In the early years of Tianqi, the bearded man Zuo Guangdou and others took the lead and could gather thousands of officials to break into the Dawei. Even if they are not as good as the new king, Yang Lian and others would still dare to make noise at the palace gate and dare to tell the emperor not to come to Taiwan. Unless they were slaughtered hundreds of officials and killed more than a dozen people like during the Jiajing period, they would never give up.

But after the Tianqi period, most of the people who stayed in the court were not very party-oriented or pure officialdom who wanted wealth. As long as they could be promoted and made a fortune, they didn't care about their affairs, let alone fighting for others for morality.

Huang Daozhou was calm, wearing a blue cloth cotton jacket and not wearing an official robe, so he calmly said goodbye to his relatives and friends.

The emperor ordered a hundred wars to fight with heart, and the court battles could kill people in just over a dozen wars, and a hundred wars would be turned into a paste of flesh, and there would be no life. It would be better to say goodbye before the battle started.

The atmosphere in the cabinet was also quite depressing. At this moment, the Secretariat came in and reported: "Mr. Xu, the Minister of Rites, asked for a meeting."

The cabinet is within the forbidden palace, and if the outside ministers want to see it, they can only be approved by the cabinet ministers, otherwise there will be no entry.

Shi Fenglai knew that Xu Guangqi must have come for Huang Daozhou. After thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Senior Xu is revising the calendar. The emperor ordered my cabinet to support it with all its strength. It seems that it is difficult to refuse to see you at this time."

Xu Guangqi resigned during the Tianqi period, and recalled him after Chongzhen ascended the throne and presided over the compilation of the calendar. His official position was the Left Minister of Rites. Because the compilation of the calendar was very important and quite smooth, everyone in the court knew that it would be a matter of time before Xu Guangqi became the Minister of Rites and entered the cabinet.

Moreover, Xu Guangqi is an old qualification. He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and Shi Fenglai was in the 35th year of Wanli, so he had to call Xu Guangqi a Senior Xu. But this kind of person is not easy to offend him too much. Let’s talk about it when he meets him.

Others are also irresistible. After a while, someone led Xu Guangqi into the pavilion.

"Are you really not going to save Huang Youxuan when you see death?" Xu Guangqi slowly stepped into the pavilion and reluctantly bowed to the pavilion ministers.

This is the most sacred status in the minds of the civil servants of Daming. A scholar would not think of being a prince or a marquis, nor would he think of being rich. If scholars in Daming were daydreaming, or the most complete and perfect success template in their lives, then the penultimate step of this template would definitely be to enter this world and eventually become the chief assistant.

Xu Guangqi had previously thought that this place was inexplicable, but at this moment, he was full of disgust for this small place.

Shi Fenglai reluctantly returned the bow and said, "Senior Xu doesn't know anything. Huang Youxuan's words are rebellious, and the emperor is furious, and we have no choice but to say anything."

Xu Guangqi said oh, and continued, "When did we act based on the king's likes and dislikes?" (https:)
