Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 60 Why did you change your mind?

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen subconsciously wanted to imitate future generations and give them some interest.But then I thought about it, it was just before the expedition, and all my thoughts were focused on rescuing Ningwu Pass. It was too far ahead of this era, but it might make people have more other associations.Therefore, he finally just asked not to charge storage fees.

But even so, when Tang San and others heard what he said, they were all very excited and immediately knelt down to thank him.

This is something the Emperor has asked His Highness to do personally. Is there anything more secure than this?
I might have been a little worried before, but after seeing what kind of person the emperor was, and seeing the mountains of property confiscated from his house, who would care less about their military pay?
With His Royal Highness here, those corrupt officials can't get involved, and they don't charge storage fees, so you can definitely give the money to your family without having to worry about being stolen or robbed. It's really great!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The heartfelt shout was very loud!
Under the setting sun, the sun shines on Emperor Chongzhen in the golden helmet, as if a god descended from heaven!
Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was getting late, and said loudly to them: "Tomorrow morning, the Beijing camp will continue to reorganize, and the cavalry soldiers will unify the camp. They will go out with me in the next few days to protect our country and rebuild peace in the world!"

………………

The sun finally set behind the mountains, and darkness began to envelope the capital.

At the door of Fang Mansion, the concierge looked around with a nervous look on his face.Suddenly, he saw a small sedan appear. After taking a closer look, he was overjoyed. He quickly ran to the door of the porter and shouted inside: "Madam, the master is back, madam, the master is back..."

Inside the concierge, a woman walked out immediately, accompanied by a maid. She was frightened and surprised, and stood at the door. Before Fang Yuegong got off the sedan, she couldn't wait to say: "The master is back, I'm really worried to death." !”

Fang Yuegong got off the sedan with a tired look on his face. As he walked into the mansion with the woman, he asked, "Why is Madam waiting at the door, but what happened in the mansion?"

"What's going on in the mansion?" His wife said with a worried look on her face after hearing this, "Today there was another rebellion in the capital, there were house raids, and martial law was imposed. I'm really afraid that the master may have something wrong with him!"

After hearing this, Fang Yuegong said with a heavy face: "You don't know, there is a real river of blood in front of the Meridian Gate Tower!"

At this point, he remembered something and said quickly: "There are blood stains on my official boots, wash them quickly!"

His wife's face turned pale when she heard it. She looked down and saw that although there was a lantern, she couldn't see clearly. But what the master said was definitely correct.

At this time, he had already walked to the lobby, closed the door, and shut out the cold wind. His wife said to him: "Master, how about I just do what you said, resign from your job, and go back to your hometown to live in seclusion?"

Fang Yuegong sat on the chair, and the maid on the side immediately handed him a cup of warm tea. He took it and drank it in one gulp. After taking a long breath, he looked at his wife, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first!"

His wife was a little surprised when she heard this.

Obviously before going to court today, my master had already revealed his intention to resign and live in seclusion.There was such a fierce commotion in the court today, and the capital was still in such chaos. It was time to give up completely and live in seclusion. Why did it sound like he had changed his mind?
With this thought in his mind, his wife said with some worry: "Master, if you stay any longer, if you offend the emperor, a big disaster will happen and you won't be able to leave!"

At this point, she sighed again and said: "A lot of people were arrested today. Didn't you say that a lot of people were killed and blood flowed like rivers?"

When Fang Yuegong heard this, he sneered and said, "They brought it upon themselves and deserve to be killed!"

"Ah?" Seeing his wife's surprised look, he explained: "In the Jinluan Palace, they wanted to deceive the emperor again, and even came up with a bad idea to print Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes to deal with the emperor. You should also know that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are It’s worthless. The emperor didn’t fall for the trick this time and asked them to buy the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes first, but none of them refused to buy it. You really didn’t see this scene in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor has been waiting for it for a long time!”

After hearing these words, his wife became curious and asked quickly, and he told the general situation.

After hearing this, his wife couldn't help but clapped her hands and said bitterly: "You really deserve it. You actually embezzled so much money and deceived the emperor. You deserve to be killed!"

After hearing this, Fang Yuegong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you are wise. Not only did you punish these worms in the country, but you also obtained a huge amount of property. At least the capital will not be short of money in the short term."

His wife nodded first, then remembered something, and asked worriedly: "With such a big commotion, will the gods in the sky be dissatisfied and punish me again?"

That is to say, two years ago, the emperor wanted 20 taels of silver from the Marquis of Linqing. As a result, the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva appeared and accepted the emperor's fifth son.Now this time it is countless times more serious than before!
Seeing that his wife was worried, Fang Yue Gong immediately said with a smile: "Do you know why the emperor suddenly became wise?"

"why?"

"Because it was Emperor Taizu who gave him guidance in his dream! Do you think there is any other god who can be greater than Emperor Taizu?"

"Really?"

Seeing his wife's disbelief, Fang Yuegong said with a little pride: "Emperor Taizu also told the emperor that he is a loyal minister to his husband, and now the emperor has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility!"

"Ah?" After hearing this, his wife was overjoyed and said in disbelief, "Is it true?"

Before Fang Yuegong could respond, she quickly continued: "It must be true, it must be true! Let me just say, if the world is in such chaos, Emperor Taizu will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Look, It’s coming to light!”

When Fang Yuegong heard her talking to herself, he immediately smiled and said: "I'm so hungry, let's eat quickly. I'll be very busy these days, and I have to sort out my ideas at night!"

"Okay, okay, serve the food quickly!"

………………

Unlike Fang Mansion, most of the residences of the capital officials are very quiet and even have a tense atmosphere.

What happened today was really too big.Although the emperor has been able to kill and arrest, it is not necessarily easy to say whether he will arrest others!
I know very well what I am doing, so how many confident officials can there be?
Wu Mansion, in the huge mansion, the servants and maids walked quietly, for fear of making any noise and being punished.

In the study, an old man, about fifty years old, was waving a brush, apparently writing a letter.

"Sucun my son, you may have expected that today, in front of the Meridian Gate Tower, there will be a river of blood..."
