Chongzhen took a deep breath and sat down again.

It seems that the historical books are true. Land annexation in the late Ming Dynasty had reached a distortion.

The nobles of the court, some high-ranking officials, and local gentry were all swallowing up the fertile land in a crazy and hungry manner.

Dig out the flesh of the people and suck the blood of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen continued to ask, "So you sold the grain to Mao Wenlong?"

"Your Majesty, we think Mao Wenlong is short of food. He guards Dongjiang and has a detrimental effect on Jiannu..."

Chongzhen kicked Gu Zhaoji in the face, causing him to roll on the ground: "Nonsense! Not to mention that the Dongjiang where he guarded does not have much effect on Jiannu, even if there is, can you sell food for him at will?"

Chongzhen stretched out his hand, and Cao Huachun quickly presented the previous confession to Chongzhen. Chongzhen glanced at it and said, "You also bought a thousand-year-old ginseng from Mao Wenlong? Where did this thousand-year-old ginseng come from? Did it come from Changbai Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, we..."

"How much grain have you sold in the past few years?" Chongzhen's face was already gloomy and terrible, "Say! If you don't say that, I want your head now!"

"Together, about 200,000 shi (2.4 million jin)!"

Chongzhen took a deep breath and said, "Two hundred thousand stones are great. His Mao Wenlong's business has been between the court and the Jiannu!"

It seems that some people killed him without any wrongdoing!

It seems that historical records within the Qing Dynasty royal family record Mao Wenlong and Huang Taiji have a relationship, and this historical data is true.

It’s right to think about it. Just Mao Wenlong, the general, can the Qing Dynasty change historical materials for a general, and it can change historical materials that are not publicly available to the outside world?

Although the general was a first-rank military officer, the status of the Ming Dynasty military officer was lowered.

No wonder Mao Wenlong was killed. No one in the Ming Dynasty has rehabilitated him, but many keyboard warriors in later generations have rehabilitated him.

200,000 stones, no wonder Huang Taiji has always had enough food to fight Liaodong and Mongolia!

No wonder Mao Wenlong died. Huang Taiji seemed to be crazy and dared to take the risk of entering the pass from Xifengkou. He was forced to do so.

Chongzhen sat down again, frowned slightly, and began to think.

"Your Majesty...I'm welcome..."

"Don't talk, let me think about it."

Chongzhen leaned on the chair and closed his eyes and thought for a while, then took a deep breath.

This Ming Dynasty, why don’t I hang myself on the crooked tree now? Maybe I can travel through time again. Next time, maybe it’s Li Shimin!

Damn it!

These guys really deserve to be killed!

Chongzhen opened his eyes and returned to his calmness, saying, "Two marquises, I have not been able to sleep well recently. I need to borrow something for you to sleep. I wonder if it is possible?"

Xu Xiden, the Marquis of Yongkang, and Gu Zhaoji, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, were slightly stunned. Hearing the emperor's gentle and kind tone, nothing seemed to be wrong?

Xu Xiden, the Marquis of Yongkang, hurriedly crawled over and said, "Your Majesty wants to borrow whatever you want. You can borrow as long as you have it. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"

Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Zhaoji is not willing to be outdone: "Your Majesty, I am willing to crush you to pieces for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhou Kui on the side was so envious. It seemed that nothing happened now. As long as the truth was explained, there should be no big problem.

Chongzhen looked at the two people who stretched their necks and showed a kind smile on his face: "It's indeed my loyal minister."

"Your Majesty, I am definitely loyal. I wonder what your Majesty wants to borrow?"

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded and said lightly, "I want to borrow the heads of the two marquises."

The smiles on the faces of the two instantly frozen.

The two people's heart-wrenching wails rang out in the prison: "Your Majesty, you will be happy..."

Zhou Kui's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

However, Chongzhen ignored them and walked out of the prison.

"Cao Huachun, before noon today, hang their heads at the city gate."

Cao Huachun felt a stern, but unexpectedly, the two noble marquises would kill them as soon as they said they could.

He hurriedly said, "Abide by the order!"

"The Emperor, Cheng Gong..."

"No one should tell me about this now. When I walk a little bit of wind, I will hang your head up."

Cao Huachun's whole body trembled and said, "Yes!"

"What should I do about the father-in-law?"

"Self-hanged."

Chongzhen waved his sleeves and said coldly.

Cao Huachun was even more frightened, Your Majesty, that's your father-in-law!

He absolutely did not dare to say this. In fear, he finally turned into a careful sentence: "Abide by the order!"

Traitors must be killed, especially at this critical moment, and they can only be shocked after being killed.

At the same time, it also shows everyone the emperor's determination.

I even killed the father-in-law, and now I am just overturning the table!

After dealing with this matter, Chongzhen returned to the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is very close to the East Factory, which is quite convenient.

The ministers were at the south gate, and Chongzhen was at the north gate.

After returning to the palace, Chongzhen immediately went to find Zhou Wanyan.

"Speak kindly, maybe you will hate me, but I must do this today. In addition to being your husband, I am also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I cannot be sorry to the people and the soldiers on the front line. The father-in-law sells his country."

Zhou Wanyan's body suddenly became soft, but fortunately Chongzhen helped her quickly.

"Your Majesty, can you let me meet my father for the last time?"

"Go, I'll accompany you."

Afterwards, Chongzhen accompanied Zhou Wanyan to the East Factory, but he didn't go in and just waited outside.

When Zhou Wanyan came out, her eyes were about to cry and swollen.

Chongzhen took her hand all the way back.

Chongzhen was still a little sad, but there was nothing he could do about it.

First, Zhou Kui did a fucking thing.

Second, Zhou Kui is too rich. If I don’t raid your home, I will definitely be sorry for myself.

After returning to the palace, he was worried that Zhou Wanyan would be too sad, so Chongzhen asked her to take her in the Qianqing Palace.

Afterwards, Chongzhen drafted an imperial edict, proclaiming the charges of Xu Xiden, Hou Jun of Yongkang, Gu Zhaoji, and Zhou Kui.

For a moment, the entire officialdom in Beijing was shocked.

At noon, two heads were hung on Yongding Gate.

Marquis of Yongkang Xu Xideng, Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Zhaoji was still an indescribable marquis yesterday. He was high above and ranked in the court, and now his head was hanging on it.

Both of them still had the fear of the moment before their death, staring wide, grinning their teeth, and looking ahead.

Countless people came to watch, and newspapers were posted around them.

"Teach the enemy and treason?"

"These two are really bastards. As noble marquis, they actually colluded with Jiannu and killed them well!"

"To be the wise man today!"

"Well killed!"

“…”

The civil servants who were still guarding Chengtian Gate at this time also heard about it.

No one was not shocked, because they watched Cao Huachun take it away by Cao Huachun, just last night.

But I didn't expect that my head would fall to the ground now.

Everyone seemed to be shrouded in the darkness of Dongchang again.
