Chapter 77
Seeing Chongzhen's behavior, Chu Jing was about to explode. This "old man" was really annoying, so he only said a few words and patted the table a few times.Don't your hands hurt?
Alright, for Ah Jiu, endure; for the mission, I will endure!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, can you give me a chance to finish speaking?
When you finish listening, what's wrong, we're talking!

Now I can't speak, you blow my beard and slap the table with me!Can we still talk?
Is it the same with you and the minister?

Don't you just want to hear all the praises of you?
Don't you think it's too fake?

Now that the imperial court is so corrupted, do you really have no idea? "

Chongzhen was stunned by Chu Jing's series of questions like a cannonball, how dare this brat?
But if you think about it carefully, you are right, no matter what you have to let people finish talking.

So he sat back on the dragon chair again, waved his hands and said, "Okay, go ahead, I won't interrupt you! Speak!"

Chu Jing stepped down from the donkey, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord! The correction I just mentioned refers to some flaws in your character, and some mistakes in cognition.

Your temper is too irritable, this is not what an emperor should look like, not to mention that Mount Tai collapsed in front of you and your color does not change.

At least from now on, you have to be at least not showing any emotions.

You must know that your character has long been seen through by your subordinates. For an emperor, this is a very terrible thing!

When you came to the throne in the first day of junior high school, you listened to those "Donglin party members" and canceled the industrial and commercial tax and mining tax. First, the military expenditure in Liaodong was too large, and now the domestic thieves are rampant, and you need a lot of money. I am afraid that even the minimum balance of payments is not enough. I can't keep going.

Now that you have been in charge for more than ten years, I am afraid that you have a clear understanding of what is going on in your heart, right? "

Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, he nodded and said: "Go on."

Chu Jing naturally knew that the "old man" had been limp because he had been fooled when he first came to the throne, but he should be aware of it now.

It's just that the current Donglin Party is too big to lose, and he has too many worries, so he is helpless, not really stupid and ignorant.

Then he continued: "Donglin party members came to power, representing the interests of the Jiangnan landlords and business gentry, how can they have one heart with you!

From ancient times to the present, imperial power and ministerial power have always been in opposition. Most of them just want to be officials and make a fortune. What is for the country and the people is just shouting slogans!

And as the emperor, it is natural that such things that corrupt the foundation of the dynasty are not allowed to happen, so this is a contradiction of natural opposites.

Instead, the imperial power can rely on ordinary people to maintain the rule of the dynasty.

The civil servant said that you should not compete with the people for profit, because they master the pen and then secretly change the concept, and the big guys spread this argument.

The ordinary people didn't understand the meaning of it, and when they heard this, they naturally thought that the ministers were speaking for them.

And you are constantly raising various taxes, that must be the executioner who exploits and oppresses them.

As the emperor, you are not reliable at both ends, the common people hate you, and the ministers fool you.

However, you received the so-called tax money with your bad name and infamy, which instead made the princes of the court earn a lot of money. Only the emperor has no money in your hands, and you are so poor! "

Chongzhen was stunned and said, "What do you mean? You mean that all the taxes collected were embezzled by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? They are also very rich?"

Chu Jing couldn't help but raised his forehead, and said, "Old man... Your Majesty! You mean they don't embezzle? They don't have money either?"

"Corruption, there is always evidence! But I borrowed money from them some time ago, and the civil and military courts raised 20 taels, and all of them were sold out! Could it be that they are all fake?"

Chongzhen naturally didn't realize that Chu Jing almost called him old father-in-law, but his face was full of disbelief.

Chu Jing saw that his "father-in-law" was really too simple, and he was completely misled by those who care about him!
Although he hated iron for being weak, he smiled and said, "Cough... Your Majesty, evidence?
From top to bottom, people are colluding inside and out. If you use conventional means to find evidence, isn't that a fantasy?

Besides, if you ask them to borrow money, you will naturally have no money!
If it is another way, there will definitely be money! "

"What do you mean? To let me be punished for money without teaching? Don't talk about the evidence, just judge the crime and punish the heart?" Chongzhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Chu Jing had such thoughts.

Chu Jing waved his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what you say is that you will be punished if you don't teach, and you will be punished for crimes, that is serious!

What's more, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even if you really kill them all, you won't be wronged!
How can we talk about punishment for not teaching, and punishing the mind for crimes?
Furthermore, heavy scriptures are needed in troubled times, and serious illnesses require strong medicine!Your Majesty must know this truth, right?

Your methods are too gentle, and those corrupt officials can touch your mind and compete with them. This is your weakness against the enemy's strengths! "

Chongzhen sighed and said: "Alas... Actually, I have discovered the problem you mentioned in recent years, but now that the civil servants are powerful, I can't help him!

You can't convict them all, can you?
How to balance the operation of the imperial court? "

Chu Jing looked at Chongzhen, saw that his face was full of sadness, thought for a while and said, "My lord, I have something here, do you want to see it?

But if you watch it, you have to be mentally prepared, and you must be steady!Don't be angry! "

Chongzhen looked up at Chu Jing, saw his serious expression, and thought: "Who do you look down on! I haven't seen such a big storm! Still steady? It's a joke!"

Then he snorted coldly and said, "Show it to me!"

Chu Jing took out the secret letter written by Dorgon to Cao Huachun, and without waving his arms, he just spat out lightly, and the letter was already floating on the Chongzhen Dragon case.

Chongzhen didn't know what was so difficult about this skill, but he just thought it was amazing that a letter could float over from a distance of ten feet.

But he didn't think too much, just took out the letter, before he read half of it, his face was livid, his eyes were bloodshot, the veins were exposed, and the muscles on his face seemed to be beating.

When Chu Jing saw him, he was afraid that the "father-in-law" would have a heart attack, and it would be over.

When Chongzhen read the seal characters and Dorgon's seal at the back of the letter, he slapped the dragon case with a "snap", stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Dog thief! Slave! Eunuch! How dare you do that! He is already a The chief eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies, has reached the extreme level of a courtier, why did he end up here?"

Chu Jing saw that the "father-in-law" seemed to be able to bear it, so he said, "This answer, I'm afraid you will not be able to bear it even more after hearing this answer!"

"You said, I'm not that fragile!" Chongzhen waved his hand.

"Because Dorgon promised him that if he breaks the capital one day, if he doesn't kill him, the money he embezzled can still be spent!" Chu Jing said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help standing on the spot in a daze, and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he smiled dejectedly and said, "Hehe...hehe...how ridiculous!
A Jiannu only gave him an empty promise, and he can betray me!

No!I don't believe it!I have to ask him personally! "

Chongzhen was going crazy after hearing Chu Jing's words, thinking why, could this also be a reason for betrayal?

If this is true, it is simply the greatest insult to the emperor!

"Come here, tell Cao Huachun to come to see me!"

Chongzhen's voice was very loud, and Chu Jing saw a guard rushing out from the back hall.

Chu Jing originally thought that if he was so hasty, the news would leak out, but he felt that he was worrying too much!

How could this "old man" have dealt with Wei Zhongxian, and this Cao Huachun is an idiot!
He can let the guard go out to deliver orders, so he has his own ideas.

So he didn't say a word, just waiting for Cao Huachun to come.
