Chapter 709 Crazy Lite
In this way, the plan of the coalition forces to attack Beijing was temporarily stranded. Emperor Jianxing could only wait patiently for the news of the Rakshasa Kingdom, wishing that he could kneel in front of the ancestral tablet every day to pray that the Rakshasa Kingdom would return one day, and then wake up, go south as soon as possible, help him regain Beijing, and then sweep away the Ming army in the north.
Unfortunately, he didn't know what the effect of prayer was, but the silver in the treasury flowed out like flowing water, which made Emperor Jianxing feel really heartbroken every day.
On this day, Emperor Jianxing went to the back and sautumn in front of the ancestral tablet, kowtowed respectfully, continued to go back to the front hall to handle official duties, entered the study room, and when he saw the pile of memorials that looked like a hill, he felt his forehead leaping twitching.
If it weren't for Zhu Yicheng, Emperor Jianxing would have hoped to deal with these things every day, because it represented the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.
Every memorial was in his hands like the world, allowing him to make the final decision. Unfortunately, in the memorials, there are fewer and fewer good things and more bad news. Every time I browse these, Emperor Jianxing felt extremely uneasy and anxious. Even over time, he seemed to have some conditioned reflexes and was subconsciously afraid to see these things.
However, no matter how much I resisted, I still have to read the memorials as the emperor. If I don’t read them, how could he manage this country? So a few times, Emperor Jianxing came up with a trick, which was to close his eyes every time he read the memorials and let the eunuchs around him help read the memorials, so that he could bear it slightly better.
The same is true today. His eyes swept over the memorial, and then he immediately moved aside. Then Emperor Jianxing sat in a chair and looked up at the words hanging on the front wall. It was a pair of characters he wrote with his own hands. On it were two big "jingxins". He looked at it deeply. He closed his eyes and then spoke the word "安".
The eunuchs around him picked up the first memorial first and started reading it. The content of this memorial was about the defeated soldiers in the Central Plains. The memorial was held by Longkodo Institute. After the defeat of the Central Plains, Longkodo and others led the remnants of their troops from Henan to Sichuan. They are now reorganizing the troops in central Sichuan and recruiting new soldiers on the spot.
After hearing a few words, Emperor Jianxing frowned and his face became a little ugly. Because what Longkodo said in the memorial was mainly asking for food and equipment from the court, and he threw away the Central Plains. Most of the imperial army went there. It is impossible to train new recruits without money or food. Longkodo submitted the memorial for this.
"I ordered Longkodo to raise funds on the spot, grant him the right to lijin, and solve the money and grain by himself." Emperor Jianxing was angry but powerless.
He knew the foundation of the Qing court very clearly. The treasury was empty at the moment and could not afford to pay any money. There was definitely no money, and he didn't even kill him. Not to mention Longkodo, he was worried about where the money came from every day. Therefore, he had no choice but to send troops, and the army could not be left alone. This was the basis for the Qing Dynasty to maintain its rule and was also the only way to prevent the Ming Dynasty's next attack.
In this case, the only way for Longkodo and others to find a way, so he gave him the right to lijin to raise funds on the spot. This is the only way for Emperor Jianxing. As for whether Kailijin can solve the problem, will it affect the local area? Emperor Jianxing will not consider these for the time being, and he doesn't care about so much now.
The eunuch responded, picked up his pen and wrote two lines on the memorial, then gently placed the memorial aside, and then read another one.
Emperor Jianxing continued to listen with his eyes closed. He hoped that he could hear good news in his heart to speak from the eunuch. Unfortunately, reality was completely opposite to his wishes. As the memorials were recited one by one, the content of each memorial was either for money or food, or something happened in the Qing Dynasty due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.
The more he listened, the worse his mood became. He finally suppressed his emotions and listened several times in succession, and finally Emperor Jianxing could no longer bear it.
"Enough! If this is still the case, you don't need to read it anymore." Emperor Jianxing said with a blue face, his closed eyes opened at the same time. He continued to turn his eyes to the word "meditation" and took a deep breath.
The eunuch quickly closed his mouth and closed the memorials that had not been finished in his hand. Then, the eunuch looked through the remaining memorials, read several similar ones together, and then found other different contents from the remaining memorials.
"When I go back to Master Long Live, there are a few memorials that are slightly different. I don't know if I should read it." The eunuch said hesitantly.
Emperor Jianxing took another breath, clenched his fists and said, "Remember."
The eunuch then picked up and continued to recite. These memorials were not about asking Emperor Jianxing for money and food, but about resignation from several officials in the court and local areas. Some of these officials were Beijing officials in the court, some were local officials in the local area, including civil officials and military generals. These people had different levels of ranks. The highest official position belonged to a deputy general in the army, and the lowest was the county magistrate in Shanxi.
There were 13 people in total. Some of them claimed to be old and weak and wanted to return home. Some said that their parents died and wrote a letter to ask Ding You. Some said that they were wrong before, saying that their abilities were not enough, and they voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the virtuous...
Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons, and there is only one purpose, that is, I am not accused of being an official and I have to go home to be a commoner.
Listening to this, Emperor Jianxing's face turned pale at first, then turned red. When it started to turn white again, the anger in his heart had already risen to the peak, and he could no longer control his inner emotions, and suddenly jumped out of the chair.
"Okay! OK! OK!" He gritted his teeth and shouted three times. His voice was cold and cold that penetrated his bone marrow. He raised his hand and grabbed the memorials piled up on the side and smashed them at the eunuch who had stopped. He cursed wildly: "This is my good slave? These are my good ministers? Okay! That's great! They are watching my world unstable now? They plan to find a way out for themselves? Do you think I am a fool?"
The eunuch was so scared that he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. He knocked his head out of blood after a few strokes.
Emperor Jianxing ignored the eunuch kneeling on the ground, waved his hands and shouted wildly: "Where is such an easy thing in the world? These dog slaves dare to deceive me like this? I will never forgive you! Come! Pass my will, arrest all these people for me, and execute them all for the crime of disrespect... No! I also want to barbarize the three tribes and kill them! Kill all these dog slaves! I want to see who dares to do this!"
