Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 442

In Xuanzhen, you don't have to be afraid of making things difficult for the officials.In Xuan Town, if a small government official is found to be oppressing the people, once discovered, he will be dismissed from his post at the slightest, and beheaded if he is severely punished. "

Listening to Ma Ergou's voice, the second child opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Gulu!" The second child swallowed, "Is this really Xuanzhen you're talking about? I've never heard of such a thing when I grow up. Is this Xuanzhen anti-thief a anti-thief?"

Ma Ergou sneered: "An anti-thief? An anti-thief. We are not as good as dogs for the old Zhu's family, so why don't we become ordinary people for Xuanzhen? My uncle told me that the current opportunity for Xuanzhen Everywhere, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can get rich no matter what.

He is willing to suffer, and now his family is very rich.When he came to the capital this time, he heard that the price of grain in the capital had risen sharply, so he brought a batch of grain to sell. "

"Furthermore, let me tell you, don't look at the imperial court yelling at Xuan Zhen, but behind the scenes, all those nobles in the imperial court are involved with Xuan Zhen.

Otherwise, how come there are still glass mirrors in the city?To know that glass mirrors can be produced in Xuanzhen, where did the glass mirrors come from?

And the bicycles that those dandies in the city are chasing these days, where did these things come from? "Ma Ergou said eloquently, listening to the second child's stunned.

Although Xuanzhen has raised troops now, the imperial court is going all out to deal with Zhao Wen as if facing a big enemy.

However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the golden jade had already been ruined.

Those nobles in the capital don't care about the imperial court or not. Although ordinary people can't enter and leave the city gate at will, for them, they can enter and exit whenever they want.

Although Xun Gui sneered at Xuan Zhen on the surface, he was still doing business with Xuan Zhen secretly, but this business was not known to outsiders.

It is better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect the honorable nobles in the late Ming Dynasty to be upright.

If the nobles at the end of the Ming Dynasty had integrity, they would not kneel and surrender when Li Zicheng entered the city, nor would they turn into slaves of Jiannu when Jiannu entered the capital.

For these nobles, the country is too far away, and only wealth is the real thing.

"Hearing what you said, I don't think Xuan Town is that bad anymore." The second child said thoughtfully.

"Not only that, Xuanzhen could have attacked the capital directly, but why didn't it attack the capital instead of going thousands of miles away to attack Liaodong? Think about it, when Jiannu captured Liaodong, how many of us were killed?

Xuanzhen is venting his anger on us, avenging us.If you expect the imperial court to recover Liaodong, you might as well expect God to send down a divine thunder to kill all the Jiannu. "

Ma Ergou chattered endlessly instilling the advantages of Xuanzhen to the second child.

While talking, Ma Ergou changed his tone, and said with some melancholy: "Now the work in the capital is becoming more and more difficult, and our wages have been in arrears for three months.

If we don't pay wages next month, I'm afraid we will go hungry.Food is so expensive in the city now, the little money we have saved is simply not enough.

When the money is spent, do you still want to eat wontons?It is estimated that even if you eat the northwest wind, you will not have to eat it. "

"Then did that relative of yours say how to go to Xuanzhen? Now that the capital is so severely blocked, we can't get out at all." The second child was a little moved by Ma Ergou's words, and it's true, who doesn't want their own How about a better life?

Chapter 513 Quarrel

"Did that uncle of yours say what he does? Did he say how he arranged for the two of us after we went to Xuanzhen? Did he say how we got out of the city?" The second child looked at Ma Ergou and asked anxiously .

Ma Ergou looked at the second child like this, and laughed unhurriedly, "Haha, isn't it easy to go out of the city? My uncle sells grain to the capital, and he will come back after a while. Pretend to be my uncle's helper, and then we will go out of the city together.

As for how my uncle got in and out of the city, you don't have to worry about it, my uncle has his own way. "

"In that case, then I will trust you once. If you stay in the capital like this, you may starve to death in the capital one day. Why not take the opportunity and give it a try? What if it happens?" The second child made up his mind. I want to fight for my future.

"It's reasonable to say that. In fact, it's not right to be a commoner for someone? Why don't we be a slave for Xuanzhen? Xuanzhen is not a slave, and we don't owe him anything to the old Zhu family." Ma Ergou looked at it with a smile Second child.

……

"Guest officer, what do you want?"

Ning Wan, I walked into a grocery store, and before he could ask, the boy from the grocery store greeted him.

Ning Wan, I was wearing an ordinary round-neck shirt and a Tianxiapingding crown on my head. I looked like a member of the outside world.

After Ning finished, I walked into the grocery store and looked at the things in the grocery store.

The first thing that catches the eye is a floor-to-ceiling mirror placed in the grocery store.

The floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed in the center of the grocery store and is inlaid in a mahogany frame, which is as tall as a person.

The surrounding area was surrounded by a small fence, and red cloth was still hung on the fence.

This is the first time I have seen a glass mirror in Ning Wan. Before, Huang Taiji used special means to get a few palm-sized mirrors from the capital, but I have only heard of and never seen Ning Wan.

Now when he saw the mirror, he froze in place.

"Could it be a glass mirror? Why is it so big?" Ning Wan said with his mouth wide open, with a look of horror on his face.

"This is exactly the glass mirror. This glass mirror is the treasure of the store. This mirror costs at least 7000 taels of silver. If it is exchanged for silver dollars, it will be cheaper." He looked at Ning Wan me proudly.

Ning Wan stood in front of the mirror and couldn't walk. He looked at himself in the mirror with horror on his face.

"Hiss, so expensive? Your small shop doesn't look very big, how can there be such a thing?"

When Ning Wan and I heard that a floor-to-ceiling mirror cost more than 7000 taels of silver, I was instantly frightened and gasped.

"Hey, the shop is not an ordinary shop. The shop belongs to Duke Cheng. Although it doesn't look big, it has everything you need." The servant said with a smile.

"I remember that Xuanzhen has already rebelled? How did you get this mirror in?" Ning Wan and I looked at the servant with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this, the boy's expression immediately became serious.

"What do you mean by asking this?" The boy squinted his eyes and looked at Ning Wan carefully. He thought that Ning Wan was a spy of Jin Yiwei.

But looking at Ning Wan, my clothes, speech and behavior are completely out of line with Jin Yiwei.

"It's not interesting, I'm just curious." Ning Wan and I also felt that something was wrong with my question, so I hurriedly explained.

"As for how the mirror got in, the store has its own method, so you don't have to ask, lest you get into trouble." The servant said coldly, and then asked: "What exactly do you want?"

"Scissors, do you have any scissors?" Ning Wan and I looked at the boy.

When the boy heard that I only wanted scissors after Ning finished, he became scornful in his heart, "I thought you were going to buy something, but you only bought scissors? Only middle-aged women would buy these things, but I didn't expect a big man to come here to buy them." Scissors, I really didn't see it."

"You wait here, I'll get it for you." The boy said a few words, and then hurriedly ran inside.

A moment later, the servant appeared in front of Ning Wan with a bamboo basket containing various scissors.

After Ning Wan, I selected a pair of scissors inside for a while, and after paying the money, I turned around and left the shop.

The boy looked at the copper coins in his hand and said with disdain: "I thought it was a big family, but I didn't expect that I just came to buy a pair of scissors."

After Ning Wan and I returned to the post house, I cut off the braid on the back of my head by myself.

After cutting it, I wrapped the braid I had cut in a piece of cloth and put it on the bed.

After finishing all this, I put on my clothes again, put the braids on the bed into my arms, and walked outside.

"Houjin is gone. If I stay in the post, I will not be targeted by those who have enemies with Houjin. Now that the post is not safe, I'd better leave early." Ning Wan, I walked out of the post. , looked at the street with people coming and going, and walked over.

At the same time, Chongzhen also asked people to call the cabinet elder and six ministers into the imperial study.

Chongzhen sat on the main seat of the Imperial Study Room, looked at the people standing in the main hall, and said, "Presumably, all the lovers already know about Liaodong being captured by the Zhao thieves, right?"

The ministers in the hall said in unison: "I already know."

"Then what do you think about this matter?" Chongzhen looked at the ministers and said calmly.

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up. He looked at Chongzhen, bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, if we had made an alliance with Liaodong before, it is estimated that the Houjin Kingdom may not be here at this time." Now, maybe Xuan Town has already been breached by our joint efforts."

Earlier, Wen Tiren agreed to the alliance.

"Wen Shoufu's words are wrong. If we are allied with Jiannu, let alone how to face the people of the world, just talk about Xuanzhen, even if we are allied with Jiannu, can we defeat Xuanzhen? From Xuanzhen It has been more than two months since we started attacking Liaodong. We were able to eliminate Jiannu and occupy Liaodong in such a short period of time. This strength alone is not something we can resist.

Even if we form an alliance with Jianslaves, I think it will only be a delay of one or two months.What's the point of procrastinating for a month or two? "Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stood up and raised objections.

At that time, Liang Tingdong was the first official who disagreed with the alliance with Jianslave.

"Hmph, what do you know? How do you know that the imperial court and the Slave Alliance are not Xuanzhen's opponents? You are talking nonsense here, bewitching the public, exaggerating the strength of Xuanzhen, boosting the ambitions of others, and destroying your own prestige. What exactly do you want? Why? Could it be that you have already taken refuge in Xuanzhen?" Wen Tiren looked at Liang Tingdong, who had repeatedly contradicted him, and cursed directly, regardless of the dignity of the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, I impeach Liang Tingdong's corpse for a vegetarian meal, fearing that he may take refuge in the rebels in Xuanzhen. Please also send Liang Tingdong to Zhao Prison for a strict interrogation."

Wen Tiren knelt in front of Chongzhen, his yin and yang faltered, impassioned, and shouted loudly as if serving the country and the people.

Seeing Wen Tiren like this, Liang Tingdong's face turned green from anger.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, for his inaction. Since he became the chief minister of the cabinet, the world has been in chaos and the town has rebelled. All these are Wen Tiren's crimes. I think that Wen Tiren should also be imprisoned in Zhao Prison."

Not to be outdone, Liang Tingdong also knelt in front of Chongzhen, shouting loudly.

Chongzhen looked at the two of them like this, and patted his forehead helplessly.

In recent days, officials from the two factions headed by Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong have been arguing endlessly about whether they should have a relationship with the Slave Alliance.

Now that Jiannu is gone, and Hou Jin is dead, Chongzhen originally thought it could stop, but he didn't expect it to intensify.

"Okay, stop arguing, two lovers. The town didn't ask you to come here today to make you quarrel. I came to ask you what you think about Zhao's capture of Liaodong." Chongzhen slapped the table, looked at the two, and Said helplessly.

Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong saw that Chongzhen had said this, so they had no choice but to stop.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Zhao's capture of Liaodong is a bad thing for the court.

Liaodong is located in the north, not far from the capital, plus Xuanzhen.If Bandit Zhao has the heart, he can divide his troops into two groups at any time, send troops from Xuanzhen and Liaodong at the same time, and approach the capital city. When that time comes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Liang Tingdong didn't dare to finish his sentence, he only spoke half a sentence.

Wen Tiren did not refute Liang Tingdong's statement.

He looked at Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Xuanzhen's bandits are too powerful to be resisted by the court, so in the opinion of ministers, they should be carefully considered."

"Think carefully? What are you thinking about?" Chongzhen's face darkened, and he looked at the people in the hall with an ugly expression.

Chongzhen asked this official to give him advice, not to make it difficult for these officials.

Why didn't Chongzhen know what they said?

"Then how do you think this matter should be handled?" Chongzhen took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and tried to calm down his tone.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." At this moment, Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department, stood up.

He stood in the center of the Imperial Study Room and looked towards Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, when Emperor Chengzu moved his capital, he left the Six Divisions in Jinling. Although the Six Divisions in Jinling have now been reduced to a place for the elderly, it does not mean that the Six Divisions in Jinling are gone. function..."

"Shut up, don't talk too much!" Before Bi Ziyan could finish speaking, Wen Tiren started yelling.

Bi Ziyan knew what he was going to say without even thinking about it. It was nothing more than moving the capital to Jinling.

Chongzhen's expression was also ugly, he looked at Bi Ziyan, and said in a cold tone: "Bi Aiqing, do you know what you are talking about?"

Bi Ziyan looked like he was not afraid of anything, he said: "Your Majesty, I know what I'm talking about."

Chapter 514 Moving the Capital

"Your Majesty, I know what I'm talking about. What I want to say is to move the capital. When Emperor Chengzu moved his capital here from Jinling, he can move back now.

If you don't move back, how will the capital face Zhao's offensive from Liaodong and Xuanzhen?Only move the capital to Jinling, and then rely on the Yangtze River to build a defense line to resist Zhao thieves. "Bi Ziyan didn't back down and faced Chongzhen directly.

Chongzhen looked at Bi Ziyan coldly and remained silent for a long time.

Gao Qiqian, who was standing next to Chongzhen, looked at Chongzhen's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What are you talking about moving the capital at this time? Can the matter of moving the capital be mentioned at this time? Don't you think about it, what is the emperor like? How could someone agree to move the capital?"

Gao Qiqian seems to have seen the scene where Bi Ziyan was scolded by Chongzhen.

However, Chongzhen's angry scolding did not resound.

"Hehe, I really love you dearly." Chongzhen sneered twice, then waved his hands and said, "You all step back, I'm tired!"

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen stood up and walked outside.

The officials in the imperial study looked at Chongzhen who was walking outside, and were stunned for a moment.

They really don't understand why Bi Ziyan did not propose to move the capital?It was just a nonsense that was lukewarm and not even the slightest threat.

Soon, the thoughtful officials figured it all out.

The reason why Chongzhen did not scold Bi Ziyan angrily is that Chongzhen was also thinking about moving the capital.

Otherwise, it's impossible for him to leave without dropping such a sentence so lightly.

Wen Tiren looked at Chongzhen's leaving figure with a solemn expression.

Originally, Wen Tiren thought that he could clearly see Chongzhen's actions and Chongzhen's psychological thoughts, but judging from today's events, Wen Tiren felt that he was not ready.

Compared with Bi Ziyan, it is much worse.

Wen Tiren walked in front of Bi Ziyan, and said without a trace: "I can't see it, so you are the most powerful person in the court, and you have already reached this point in trying to figure out the holy will."
