It seemed that the Ming Dynasty gave people a feeling of being unserious. The ministers trembled their beards and spitted their faces, and there were also various martial arts in the court from time to time.

The emperor was most depressed. Not only could he not show a disgusting expression, but he also had to listen to the old loyal ministers finishing their words in an untidy manner, and then he could understand the reason, move them with emotion, and lure them with profit, and let the ministers agree with their opinions. But is this really the case?

In the Huangji Hall, Emperor Chongzhen sat upright on the throne, and the ministers below seemed to be arguing about something.

"Your Majesty, I think the reward for the green skin is too much, so I ask the emperor to take it back and give it another reward!" Li Jiantai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stepped forward and knelt down to report.

Li Jiantai's opposition was naturally instructed by Wei Zaode. Although he was quite surprised that Liu Hongjian could kill Li Zicheng alone, his preconceived concept made him believe that Qingpi must be in the same group as Meng Zhaoxiang's group of soldiers in the future.

The so-called "non-one of our race" will have different hearts. He must have beaten it. With his understanding of Chongzhen and Chongzhen's favor for him, it seems that he can pick it up. Thinking of this, Wei Zaode's mouth couldn't help but raise it.

"Oh? Is that right? Li Aiqing thinks where the reward is too heavy?" Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, that green skin..."

"Who told you that he is a green man?" Before Li Jiantai finished speaking, Chongzhen interrupted him with a sinister face.

"Emperor, I also thought I was rewarded too much for Liu Hongjian. According to the officers and soldiers on the city tower, the muskets were fired from the broken wall at that time, at least twenty feet away from the thief's head, which was already beyond the killing distance of my Daming musket. Moreover, it was dark at that time, and no one could prove whether the person who killed the thief's head was this person, so I thought..."

Wei Zaode lowered his head and expressed his opinions, feeling a little surprised. In the past, even if Chongzhen disagrees with him, he would never interrupt him. At least he had to wait until he finished speaking, and then politely express his opinions.

But what happened to the emperor today? What was so sarcastic that he couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Wei's statement." Zhang Qi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, always followed Wei Zao's destiny and quickly responded.

The entire civil servant group has long been closely united. The power formed by this group is enough to make Chongzhen, the emperor, think twice. It is like a huge mosquito attached to the central center of the Ming Dynasty and sucked away the last drop of fresh blood of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Chongzhen did not compromise this time!

"Oh? Who else thinks I have given too much reward? Come out!" Chongzhen looked at the ministers around and over again.

The ministers below looked left and right, and some realized that Chongzhen's tone was something wrong, and they didn't say anything. Of course, there were also a few loyal followers of Wei Zaode who stood up to support Wei Zaode. Chongzhen looked at the restless ministers below coldly.

"How can Wei Aiqing prove that the bandit leader was not killed by Liu Hongjian?" Chongzhen said.

"This..." Wei Zaode was so choked by Chongzhen's words that he couldn't speak. Yes, you asked someone to prove that the thief leader was killed by Liu Hongjian, and someone asked you to prove that the thief leader was not killed by Liu Hongjian. There seems to be nothing wrong with this. The key is that this question is unsolvable!

No, what happened to the emperor today? Why are he so bad? Could it be that countless thoughts passed by Wei Zaode's heart in an instant, and a cold sweat emerged from Wei Zaode's forehead for a moment.

"Hmph! What were you doing when the thief army attacked the city last night? Why didn't you listen to the summons to the court?" Chongzhen finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and slapped his right hand on the dragon throne, making a crackling sound.

"I am not the king of the country that has been destroyed, but you are all ministers of the country that has been destroyed!" Chongzhen said angrily.

He was angry, and he was angry, angry that these ministers who received the court salary were shrank and dared not go to court in times of crisis. They were angry that they said nothing about a meritorious person indifferently, and that he had always believed that these ministers were working diligently for him and for the Ming Dynasty.

Until last night, when the cannons were rumbling, he was the only one who was alone in this empty hall, all his dreams woke up. When he saw these well-dressed ministers again, it seemed that they were all Qin Hui and all villains.

Just as everyone kneeling in the court was at a loss, a little eunuch beside him whispered to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen's face calmed down.

Then the eunuch sang with his cheeks and shouted:

"Xuan Liu Hong gradually enters the palace!"

Liu Hongjian's legs were sore all the way, and he finally walked to the Laoshizi Emperor Hall. He was about to complain, but suddenly he felt that the atmosphere around him was a little wrong.

Seeing some ministers glaring at him, even Lord Meng, whom his father had told him before, glaring at him with his eyes, which made him feel a little confused. He scratched his head and suddenly remembered that he was probably going to salute Emperor Chongzhen.

"The people of the grass kowtow to the emperor!" Alas, as a new young man in the 21st century, he has never even kneeled down his parents, but now he has to kneel down a stranger, MMP, Liu Hongjian cursed inwardly, feudal ethics crushed people to death.

"Flat!" Emperor Chongzhen said calmly.

"You should call yourself a minister. It is a great achievement for you to eliminate the leader of the thief army who has been harmed by our Ming Dynasty for more than ten years." Chongzhen paused for a moment and said.

"I originally wanted to confer your title as An Guowang, but they thought I had given you too much, and even thought that the leader of the thief was not killed by you. What do you think?" Although Chongzhen admired Liu Hongjian very much, he saw that he was staring around with his eyes as he was in a daze, and wanted to try Liu Hongjian's weight.

"Report to the emperor, the young man also thinks the reward is wrong!" Liu Hongjian got up and patted his knees, but the hall seemed extremely clean and there was no dust.

"Hmm?" Chongzhen frowned, thinking that this kid was afraid that he was silly.

The ministers who refuted just now, including Wei Zaode, were happy. This boy seemed to have a problem with his brain.

"Report to the emperor, I did kill Li Zicheng, but I really don't want to be an official. I remember... I remember that the emperor promised to give ten thousand taels of silver at the beginning." He secretly looked at Chongzhen and saw that Chongzhen was just cold and showed no sign of an attack, so he continued.

"The little one doesn't want to be an official! The little one only wants the ten thousand taels of silver!" Liu Hongjian lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Chongzhen again, and finally said what he was thinking in his heart in a delicate voice.

Nowadays, the capital is almost defeated by bandits. What is the future of being an official?

Besides, looking at the ministers around him, they all looked as if they were gentlemen, but they looked bad at him. Maybe before the officials were hot, they were dragged to take the blame and became officials.

It’s better to be a landlord. The north seems to be uneasy. Well, when you get the money, you will go to the south with your beautiful wife, buy a piece of land, buy a house, and hire some servants. With the treasure AKM in your ring, you will still walk sideways?

I heard that several of the eight beauties of Qinhuai are now 28 years old. I wonder if I have a chance to meet them? Well, it’s not bad, Liu Hongjian thought about it and laughed out loud.

"Bold! Do you know what you are saying? Why don't you kneel down and apologize!" Before Chongzhen could even get angry, Meng Zhaoxiang, who recommended him, couldn't sit still.

He never expected that the one who killed Li Zicheng would be such a lazy man who did not follow the rules. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't want to show up, but now it seems that it's impossible not to beat him up, and the scene will be uncontrollable. As a recommendation person, he will be implicated.

"Uncle Meng, my nephew, thank you for your helping uncle Meng when my Liu family is humble, so that my Liu family can still have the opportunity to repay the country." Liu Hongjian bent down and gave Meng Zhaoxiang a junior gift.
