Chapter 189 Shuffle
"puff!"

Many officials couldn't help but spit far away.

All the civil and military officials in the hall burst into laughter, even Wen Tiren who was inside couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Cao Huachun also wanted to laugh, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's gloomy and watery face, he couldn't help but shudder.

Besides Emperor Chongzhen, there was another person in the hall who was not smiling, and that was Tanhua Li Zhitian who wrote the question.

Li Zhitian's face was pale, his body was trembling, looking at the prince, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, he wanted to explode, but he didn't dare.

"Ah..." Li Zhitian roared, sat on the ground slumped, giggled, and said, "You really deserve it, what a crime! I bought the Ministry of Rites with money, and I gave 3 taels of silver. I'm not the only one? Among the top three, which one didn't spend money?"

"Back then, Qian Qianyi gave 2 taels of silver to bribe the imperial court and got a Tanhua Lang. Han Jing even spent 4 taels of silver to buy the champion. Who knows, who doesn't know?"

"Why? Why? Why did you humiliate me, even my parents and ancestors!" Li Zhitian's eyes were red, watching the crown prince gnashing his teeth, almost wanting to go up and bite, but finally he laughed, and suddenly got up and bumped into the hugging man in the hall. on the pillar.

"Puff!" With a sound, blood splattered everywhere!

Li Zhitian's body slid limply against the pillar and fell to the ground with a "slap" on his back.

"Come here, escort! No, protect the prince!"

The soldiers on both sides rushed out suddenly and surrounded Li Zhitian in the middle, but he remained motionless, it turned out that he had already passed out.

Zhu Changyuan felt a twinge in his heart, and an indescribable feeling filled his heart.Even though this Li Zhitian deserved to die, he should never die under his humiliation.

do this?seem?A little too much.

However, if he hadn't been pressing harder and harder today, he couldn't be forced to this point, nor could he be made to confess his guilt voluntarily.

Seeing Wen Tiren's face turned ashen, Zhu Changyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Retire!" Cao Huachun picked up the crown prince Zhu Cihong and walked to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen comforted the prince a few words, and found that the little guy was not frightened, so he felt relieved and said: "The princes will retreat first, and Shang Zhouzuo, Liu Zongzhou, and Liu Zunxian will stay behind!"

Zhu Changyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was still in a daze when he walked out of the platform.

Looking up at the sky, a ray of morning sun shoots out from the east, the sun rises slowly, warm and bright.

Too many things happened today, Liu Zunxian and Liu Zongzhou were left in court by the emperor again, Zhu Changyuan was very tired, he didn't go to work, and fell asleep when he got home.

After sleeping for half an hour, the door was knocked open.

Po Lu came to report: "My lord, the angel has arrived, and I want you to go and receive the order!"

"Understood." Got up from the bed, straightened his clothes and went to the yard, but saw a fat old eunuch standing there like a wooden stake, and a few young eunuchs behind him bowed their heads.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Changyuan stepped forward a few steps, and said to the eunuch, "Your Majesty is here, and I am far away to welcome you."

The person who came was none other than Emperor Chongzhen's confidant, Wang Cheng'en.

"Accept the edict." Wang Chengen is not as talkative as Cao Huachun, he is indifferent to Zhu Changyuan's left and right, after Zhu Changyuan knelt down, he took out a scroll of imperial edict, and said: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Zhu Changyuan, the head of the Ministry of Industry, instigated the crown prince. disrespectful...."

After Wang Chengen finished reading, Zhu Changyuan also roughly understood: Doesn't it mean that I have taught the prince badly, doesn't it mean that I have no dignity and humiliation?Isn't it just to remove Lao Tzu's official position and let Lao Tzu go to other places to serve as a soldier?No, Nima, I don’t understand why you want to copy my home.

Well, let you raid the house, my precious items are all installed in the system anyway.

Just like that, several eunuchs and Jin Yiwei turned Zhu Changyuan's courtyard upside down magnificently. However, apart from kitchen utensils and kettles, Zhu Changyuan's family didn't have a single piece of gold or silver, and not even a penny was found.

But what made Zhu Changyuan sad was that the photos of Lana and Yumin on the wall of his house were taken by Jin Yiwei as treasures.

It is said that companionship is like companionship with a tiger, but it is not true, with just a few words from him, Lao Tzu has become a loner, and now he is fine, and the Ministry of Industry does not have to go to work.

Standing in front of his house, Zhu Changyuan soaked up the sunshine of his own house, took the imperial decree and read it over and over for a long time, and asked Polu, "The emperor asked me to go to Xiangyang to fill the army. I'm going to Xiangyang to serve as a soldier."

Isn't this Nima exile?
Well, exile is exile, anyway, the affairs of the capital are already done, and Ah Jiu is enough to attract money in the capital.

The house was sealed, so he could only live in the inn, and he couldn't stay for a long time. The emperor's imperial decree said that he had to go on the road within three days.

Zhu Changyuan found an inn at random, and lived in it with Po Lu.

This day is destined to be an extraordinary day.

First, Zhu Changyuan was the first to be dismissed from his post and exiled, and then, immediately afterwards, Liu Zongzhou, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was sent back to his original place because of his defense before the imperial court, and he was dismissed from his post as a civilian.

This is not over yet, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, wrote a letter at night, asking for leave to go home and take up his post.

He didn't know how many times he played this old trick. In the past, every time someone impeached him, he only needed to submit a memorial requesting that he return to his hometown, and Emperor Chongzhen promised to send someone to persuade him to stay.

But this time, he miscalculated.

It was rumored outside that the Ministry of Wenge was sitting at home with his family for dinner and bragging, saying, look, the emperor must have sent someone over to comfort me this time.

In the end, as he had predicted, people would come to the court within a quarter of an hour, but instead of comforting him, they drove him out.

After receiving the memorial sent by the eunuch, Zhu Biyu wrote three words on it: let him go!
Let him go, let him go!
where to goNaturally, it is the hometown of Zhishihui in Zhejiang.

At that moment, Wen Tiren dropped the bowl on the table to the ground with a "click" and smashed it to pieces.

I have worked so hard all my life to get to the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, and I have been doing it for eight full years, but the end is still the same.

Also.

Li Zhitian, a Jinke Tanhua, committed suicide because of bribing officials and cheating in the examination room. After his death, his home was also ransacked, and the whole family was exiled to Liaodong.

Qian Qianyi, who was in the prison, was finally "repented of his grievances" and was released, but his fate was not much better than that of Wen Tiren: he was exiled home and never hired.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to a person whose heart is in court.

Of course, Zhu Changyuan couldn't control these things anymore. He was feasting in the restaurant of the inn, sweeping away more than a dozen large plates in a short while, which surprised Xu Ermo and Zhang Luan next to him.

"I said, you bastard, why are you as happy as if you were promoted after losing your official position? Is this imperial decree true? Are you really exiled to Xiangyang as a soldier?" Xu Ermo looked at Zhu Changyuan and felt The brain can no longer understand his mood.

"Bold!" Zhu Changyuan slapped the table in a pretentious manner, and said, "Do you dare to say that the prince falsely preached the imperial decree?"

"Hush!" Xu Ermo made a silent gesture and said, "You are going to die!"

Zhu Changyuan chuckled, hiccupped, and said, "You know what, I'm not an official. In fact, I like fighting more than being an official."

"That's right!" Xu Ermo's eyes turned blue when he heard Zhu Changyuan talking about the war, rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, boss, I will recognize you as the boss from now on, take me to fight."

"You!" Zhu Changyuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Stop joking, aren't you still an official of Zhongshu Sheren? What kind of battle are you fighting with me, a big soldier with no rank?"

"Besides, I heard that Xiangyang is very peaceful now. Xiong Wencan used a strategy of appeasement to recruit Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng. It is peaceful. Where is there a war?"

"Yes." Xu Ermo also sighed, and said: "Li Zicheng was also defeated. It is said that only a dozen people fled to the mountains, and Huang Taiji did not make a fuss. It is strange to say that since autumn this year , it seems that our Ming Dynasty will have peace in the world."

After hearing this, Zhu Changyuan moved suddenly, as if he had seized some important military aircraft, and said, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

Xu Ermo was surprised and said: "What did I say, I said that our Ming Dynasty was peaceful, why are you so surprised. Don't scare me."

"No, no, the first sentence!" Zhu Changyuan said hastily.

"The previous sentence, the previous sentence is..." After thinking for a while, Xu Ermo said, "Li Zicheng has fled to the mountains, and Huang Taiji has stopped making trouble."

"No, go further!" Zhu Changyuan looked anxious.

"There will be no more, oh, oh, I said since this year's autumn!" Xu Ermo finally remembered.

"Crack!" Zhu Changyuan slapped his palm on the table, and said, "Yes, that's the sentence, after the autumn, after the autumn. I remembered, it seems that there is no harvest in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan this autumn?"

"En!" Xu Ermo nodded.

"Then tell me, what will the people of these four provinces spend the winter and fill their stomachs with this year?" Zhu Changyuan expressed his worries.

The 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was not peaceful in the world.

Peace is just an illusion, it's just the calm before the storm.

"You mean?" Xu Ermo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You mean the common people in these four provinces will riot next year?"

"Not next year, at the latest, this winter will come."

"Hiss, if that's the case. Chang Yuan, wait a minute, I'm going home to discuss with my grandfather about the business route for this year, and I'm leaving!"

Xu Ermo left, and Zhang Luan also left.

Zhu Changyuan slipped out of the inn in the middle of the night, sneaked into Ah Jiu's mansion again quietly, gave him some instructions, then left quietly, and had a good sleep in the superior room.

The next day, another news about personnel changes in the imperial court spread all over the streets and alleys. Unexpectedly, after Wen Tiren's downfall, Xue Guoguan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, entered the cabinet; another news about personnel changes was that Governor Ji Liao I haven't found a candidate yet. It's not that there is no talent, but that there is no one to do it.

However, these are nothing to do with Zhu Changyuan, because he has already decided to leave the capital today.
