Seeing that the censor was killed by a stick, the ministers who had originally wanted to associate with the censor and try to get the emperor to issue a self-criticism, and then learn from Emperor Jiajing to go back to the harem to practice immortality or learn from Emperor Tianqi to do carpentry work, the ministers who simply shut up and did not mention a word, as if the one who was killed by a stick just now was not a colleague, but an irrelevant person.

Chongzhen looked at the ministers below and sneered in his heart again. What kind of things are they all? Once he had a butcher knife, he immediately became more honest than a quail. He learned to be a human being with his tails and never give any advice again. He wanted to cheat the court stick like the Hongzhi period of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youzhang or the Zhengde period of Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, and I would just kill him and replace him! The thousands of poets and scholars in the Ming Dynasty still lacked those who wanted to be officials? What a fucking joke!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground honestly, and then said, "All my dear friends are calm."

After the ministers got up, Chongzhen continued, "After all, what kind of constitution should this severe drought in Shaanxi be?"

Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "I report to Your Majesty. I think that after a severe drought, there will be frequent flooding. You can add additional labor service, repair canals and rivers, and use labor for relief. Those who do not have labor at home can provide additional relief."

Xue Fengxiang, Minister of Works, also gave a speech: "I have discussed. The people in the mountains and Shaanxi have been strong since ancient times. If the people do not have something to do, it will easily cause chaos. If you use work instead of relief, you can take advantage of the situation to sort out the mountains, rivers, bridges, and roads in the mountains, mountains, rivers, bridges, and roads. One is to provide disaster relief, and the other is to benefit the country."

Guo Yunhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out to report: "I have also discussed it. Although the Ministry of Revenue now has grain reserves, and localities often have grain reserves. However, if the people can eat a full meal all day with only relief, the number of people who do nothing will inevitably increase. I think that the method of labor-for-relief should be implemented."

Chongzhen thought about the practices of later generations and found that this method of labor-for-relief is indeed feasible. Now it is not the Heavenly Kingdom hundreds of years later. It is said that disaster relief is just a relief. If you are not careful, it is really easy to cause chaos.

Just as he agreed, Guo Yunhou continued: "In addition, after the disaster, there are plagues, and there are many records in history books. I ask Your Majesty to send people from the Imperial Hospital to Shaanxi to guide the people in epidemic prevention."

After hearing this, Chongzhen unexpectedly glanced at Guo Yunhou. Who said that the officials in the late Ming Dynasty were all waste snacks and only knew how to fight for power and profit? As long as they were killed honestly, wouldn’t this be quite useful?

Chongzhen, who was a little relieved because the court officials finally started to do a serious matter, said: "The method of using labor for relief is to be the method of epidemic prevention, and the Imperial Hospital is responsible for this matter. Let's go back and write a detailed note to explain it."

After roughly discussing the disaster relief matter, Chongzhen continued: "In addition, this drought relief is inevitable that someone will do something to do with it. My dear friends think how to prevent and control it?"

When the ministers heard this, they all cursed in their hearts, "It's a big deal to prevent and control it." The ghosts know that Emperor, you are going to release the hawks and dogs factory guards again. With them here, you still need to prevent and control it? Who dares to reach out and you won't kill the nine tribes of others?

Seeing that the others didn't say anything for a moment, Wen Tiren, the chief minister who had always charged forward with Emperor Chongzhen, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not mention the words that Chongzhen said yesterday that the factory guards had to strengthen supervision. The second assistant Shi Fenglai had to leave: "I asked Your Majesty. I think that the Jinyiwei could be allowed to monitor the local area. If there is any corruption, it can be dealt with according to the Ming law."

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes."

Then, Chongzhen changed the topic: "This time, Jinyiwei reported that there are many shortcomings in the settlement of positions in various places. That was before the New Year, I repeatedly asked that the settlement of positions in various places must be full, but some people still dared to resell them privately. It is not clear where the grain has gone. I have ordered Jinyiwei to pick up people. My dear ministers tell me, how should these people be dealt with?"

Seeing that Wen Tiren was still not speaking, he went out again and said, "I think that since Your Majesty had issued a strict order before the New Year and asked Chang to close the warehouse, these people would still dare to do it. They should treat it as the king, or follow the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao and peel it down. However, since these people dare to do it in Chang Ping, they will definitely have some support behind them. Your Majesty should ask someone to investigate it strictly."

Wen Tiren gritted his teeth and said, "I think what Master Shi said is too much. Although this generation deserves to die, this year is Your Majesty Kaiyuan Chongzhen, so it is not appropriate to kill too much. Therefore, I think that the chief evil should be punished, and the rest can be punished to atone for their sins and let them retire and return home."

Chongzhen was quite surprised when he heard this. The person Wen Tiren met last night really had such skills? I wonder how many people would come out to oppose it in the court?

Wen Tiren also secretly complained in his heart. He looked at the scenery, and under one person, above ten thousand people, actually knows his own suffering. Not to mention anything else, just some people secretly instruct, you can't tell a few people in the court. Then there is no use for you. Today, the emperor will let himself firmly sit in the position of the prime minister of the cabinet?

But unexpectedly, Chongzhen had already decided to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but he sneered: "Youqing Wen doesn't need to say too much. I think Shiqing is right. The world's rectification should be rectified. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been too kind, but it is too relaxed to discipline, so that it is impossible to distinguish between the east, west, south and north of the world, and does not take my will seriously. What do I want such an official? He takes my salary and bullies my people? In the end, the officials forced the people to rebel, so that I could see my ancestors and ancestors after my death?"

Wen Tiren heard this and saw that no one of the officials behind him had been in line with him, he knew that today's affairs were in a foregone conclusion. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I am too old to beg for your majesty to drive you. I beg for bones and return home."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Is it too old? Last night, Wen Aiqing and Guike were having dinner at the scholar's house until midnight, and then they were struggling in the concubine's room for half an hour. Why is it so old that I am too old now?"

Wen Tiren was shocked when he heard this. The factory guard finally reappeared the prestige of the Hongwu and Yongle periods. What did he do last night? The emperor actually knew everything?

Just as he was about to apologize, Chongzhen said lightly: "Someone in the court impeached you, Wen Aiqing. When I saw your loyal king, I kept you and never posted it. Now, you changed your mind because of what the guest said last night? Well?! Forget it, I won't ask you where that person is. If you come to the imperial prison, you will naturally say it."
