Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 371 Human nature
"My lord... in recent days, the price of food and cloth in Gyeonggi has been on the rise."

Wang Chengen frowned slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "Although the convenience stores here in Gyeonggi have been trying their best to distribute food at a low price, even cotton cloth, etc., certain groups in various places in Gyeonggi are using various methods to push them up.

Even during this period, some people... secretly set fire to food and secretly inspected several convenience stores. The current public opinion between the government and the opposition is not particularly optimistic. "

"This is someone who started to lose his temper and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune for the country."

Emperor Chongzhen held the imperial pen tightly, suppressed his anger, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The convenience stores all over the capital, are there no serious problems? Have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

"There's nothing serious about the convenience store."

Wang Chengen leaned forward and said: "Although some grains were burned, most of the grains were stored in Huangzhuang in various places. The emperor planned for rainy days and distributed grains regularly to avoid bigger problems.

However, the culprits behind the scenes have not yet been identified. Although some traitors have been tracked down in the inner factory, most of them are local scoundrels, and they want to find out..."

'This matter on the hidden front is not what the internal factory is good at, and the burden on the internal factory is too heavy, and it is impossible to mobilize manpower. '

Listening to what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen said secretly: "East Factory and West Factory were all sent out by him, so that the control of Beizhili was reduced a lot in disguise."

The inner factory is a complete collection of eunuchs and the core of the inner money economy, but the east factory and the west factory are different, they can recruit some experts from outside the palace.

It seems that in the future situation, it is necessary to keep the East Factory or the West Factory, not the two inner court teams, all sent out to do things. '

Starting from the third year of Chongzhen, the Emperor Chongzhen could feel the things that he had experienced. This rotten Ming Dynasty will definitely explode one after another in the next few years.

Fortunately, the current problems are still under the control of Emperor Chongzhen, so it is not to say that they have fallen into an absolutely passive situation.

If it was really like the Jiashen Rebellion, calling every day unresponsive, and calling the earth ineffective, then Emperor Chongzhen was really passive.

"Go, send someone to call Luo Yangxing over."

Emperor Chongzhen, who pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "Since there are people who want to seek death, then I will fulfill them. Sun Chuanting and the others have only achieved some results now.

Someone is messing with all this behind the scenes.

In the current government and the opposition, there are countless people staring at me openly and secretly. If I don't do something, then none of them will be honest! "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen immediately bowed in response.

The chronic illnesses and cancers accumulated in the Ming Dynasty are not isolated individuals, but more like groups connected in series and parallel. Often, when one side changes, other fields will follow suit.

Daming was on the wrong route, walking for too long and too long.

This has also led to sharp class conflicts, financial collapse, tyranny, rogue bandits, and serious land annexation...

Coupled with natural disasters that cannot be prevented by human power, so that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to set things right, and the constraints and obstructions, both open and secret, often appeared in unexpected forms.

It is difficult to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It is even more difficult to be the emperor of the Chongzhen Dynasty!
"My lord, Cheng Guogong is asking to see you."

Gao Shiming walked into Dongnuang Pavilion and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

Ok?
Zhu Chunchen, why did you come to see him at this time?
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he thought secretly in his heart. Emperor Chongzhen never let down his vigilance against Zhu Chunchen's relatives who were sitting on the fence.

Even in order to avoid the rectification of the Beijing camp and being obstructed secretly by the relatives in Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen placed Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo, the gang of relatives who betrayed Daming when Daming was about to end, and placed more than a part of them in the Governor's Mansion of Jingwei.

Zhu Chunchen's relatives who are sitting on the wall are all political opportunists, and they will think about it in their hearts. The current Ming Dynasty is not to the point of subjugation, so the Emperor Chongzhen knows very well that unless they are forced to a desperate situation, then Zhu Chunchen They don't do all-or-nothing things.

Furthermore, although the Jingwei Governor's Mansion is in charge of guarding the imperial city and the palace city, on the inner court side, the Han generals on duty, including all the eunuchs and eunuchs, were replaced by people trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Announce it."

Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently.

"Chen...Zhu Chunchen, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his head bowed, and bowed in salute.

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and pretended to sigh softly: "Mr. Cheng, you have come to see me, but what's the matter with the Governor's Mansion of the Capital?"

It seems that the emperor is very troubled about the resettlement of refugees.

Could it be that the convenience store has nothing to do with the emperor?
Zhu Chunchen thought secretly in his heart, but on the surface he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the capital governor's mansion.

However, I know that your majesty is worried about state affairs, and about the resettlement of people fleeing disasters in Shanshan, so I came here to see your majesty, and I want to share your majesty's worries.

I am willing to donate ten thousand taels of silver to the court..."

'It's not easy for you, a stingy speculator, to be willing to donate money to me. ’ Hearing Zhu Chunchen’s words from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, ‘No, Zhu Chunchen must have come here with a purpose. '

Knowing Zhu Chunchen's virtues, Emperor Chongzhen was more vigilant than ordinary people about Zhu Chunchen's every move.

At this stage alone, the only ones Emperor Chongzhen could trust in the capital governor's office were Xinlehou Liu Wenbing and Xuancheng Bowei Shitai.

"I am so relieved that Qing has such a heart."

After Zhu Chunchen finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said approvingly: "If the civil and military ministers of the country, including those honored relatives, can be like Qing, then I will have less sorrow.

But you don't need to donate this silver. If you can raise more food for me, it will be considered as a share of my worries. "

"Your Majesty must do everything in his power to share the worries of His Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Chunchen made up his mind, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first and gather more food for the country."

Previously, Zhu Chunchen wanted to put Tang Guozuo and the others together in front of Emperor Chongzhen, but these intentions now made Zhu Chunchen dispel this idea.

But what Zhu Chunchen didn't know was that when he came to Qianqing Palace this time, Emperor Chongzhen became suspicious.

If Emperor Chongzhen's guess is correct, some people among Jing Xun's relatives are probably taking advantage of this opportunity to plot something secretly.

'It seems that with this opportunity, some relatives can be eradicated. The Emperor Chongzhen stared at Zhu Chunchen's back with a cold expression, thinking secretly: "Luo Yangxing is here this time, and he has something to do." '
