During this private visit from the palace, Chongzhen saw what he wanted to see and what he didn't want to see. Regarding the previous never-added excuses, the people outside all said that the emperor was really a wise monarch for all ages. Could it be that the good emperor who met at first sight was far away from Tang and Song Zong, and was a wise monarch who was comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Chongzhen knew in his heart that as long as he spread this way, he was neither a wise monarch nor a wise monarch, and he already had the greatest basic foundation - all the mud legs of the world stood behind him. In order to protect his never-added interests, they could tear down all enemies in front!

As for what I don’t want to see, it’s just that the Prime Minister’s Piao number was released. The Prime Minister of the dynasty had a member of the Piao number, and the eight major locust dealers who later paid for it were later. There was any ulterior PY transaction between them, which could be imagined with his toes!

Chongzhen was very satisfied with his private visits. He felt that if someone filmed a movie "Chongzhen Private Visits" in the future, what he saw and heard today was all very good material, and the ratings must be broken.

Chongzhen's good mood disappeared quickly after returning to the palace.

The reason why Chongzhen was unhappy was Cao Huachun's report: "Your Majesty, according to the children below, Huang Liji, the bank in Huang Liji, was about 200,000 taels of silver in the family of Huang Liji, most of which came from the Yongchang bills and the others were all kinds of filial piety. If valuable items were also calculated at a discount, it was about 6 million taels. The Yongchang bills had also been checked. Among them, not only Lord Huang, but also Lord Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, etc., were mainly established by eight major merchants including Fan Yongdou, Shanxi. As for the other cabinet ministers and ministers and ministers, each ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands of taels, and I have compiled them into a memorial. Please ask Your Majesty to judge."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed in anger: "Okay, it's very good. My loyal ministers, it's very good! The eunuch party and the Donglin party are all the good things! It's very good! Just a dozen ministers combined, it's more than a dozen of them, but they have more money than the treasury of the Ming Dynasty!"

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, only Jiannu, not to mention the serious troubles of his heart, could not even be considered a trauma. At best, it was a disease of scabies. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the Mongol Yuan fought north and westward. After the death of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu Zhu Di also led his troops out of the frontier many times, and knocked the Tartars to kneel on the ground and sang conquest. In terms of the great military power, the Mongol Yuan's war potential or actual combat power at that time, was not much stronger than the Miqing Tartars, and were also pressed to rub the ground? To put it bluntly, the reason why I suffer from Jiannu now is that the infantry has no fighting intention, the cavalry is not strong, and the armed guns and cannons are easy to explode. In the final analysis, it is still the same word, money is made. If you have money, you can make good soldiers. If you have money, you can build them when the quality is not good. Anyway, I have money, so I can do whatever I want.

But reality slapped Chongzhen in the face. Emperor Tianqi reigned for seven years, and Wei Zhongxian was so desperate that he could make money. The treasury was only a few million taels of silver in the treasury. In this way, he still owed the border troops food and salary without paying them! But a mere prime minister had six or seven million taels in his family, which was worth two treasurys!

Chongzhen was in a bad mood and did not ask any concubine to sleep at night. He just sat in the imperial study room all night. Wang Chengen advised him many times, but Chongzhen ignored him and went to court until the next day.

Generally speaking, those who can live in the temple are good at observing their looks. When the ministers saw Chongzhen's expression, they knew that it would be bad. Maybe there would be big problems today.

After the ministers finished their rituals, Emperor Chongzhen spoke directly: "Today, if you have a book or not, don't report it. If you have a book, you can hand it to the ritual supervisor later. I have something to ask you today."

"Huang Aiqing, you are the chief minister of the dynasty. I'm here to ask you, how much did the Ming Dynasty treasury last year? How much does it have to be left?"

Huang Liji immediately reported: "Return to Your Majesty, last year was the sixth year of the Tianqi period, and the national treasury was 3.5 million taels per year. After all expenditures, the balance... the balance... the balance is less than 500,000 taels."

"Okay, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty earns 3 million taels per year. It is said that the salaries of all officials in the Ming Dynasty are low, but your Huangge home has more than 6 million taels, and there are more in his hometown. I wonder why the master of the Pavilion teaches me?" Chongzhen was too lazy to act anymore, so he tore his face apart.

"Your Majesty, I am, I am..." Huang Liji couldn't make up any longer. The emperor knew the approximate number. It must have been checked by the factory guards. If he denies it himself, I'm afraid it would be useless.

"Wang Cheng'en, let's announce the edict." Chongzhen was too lazy to look at Huang Liji again and asked Wang Cheng'en to announce the imperial edict he had drafted last night. As for the rejection or if someone did not accept the edict, it doesn't matter, the Jinyiwei will teach them how to be a human being!

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: After investigation, Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, had corruption of more than 6 million taels of silver, which was deeply unfair to my expectations. He was in charge of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel jointly confiscated the house. All the corruption gains were filled into the national treasury. Huang Liji, the criminal minister, peeled the skin, hung it in the Meridian Gate, and killed the three tribes! He thought that those who came later were warned! I admire this!"

After Wang Chengen finished reciting the edict, a Han general immediately stepped forward to take Huang Liji who was limp on the ground to deal with it.

After slowing down, after glanced at the trembling ministers below, Emperor Chongzhen also spoke again: "Huang Liji, my chief minister of the cabinet, just a few days ago, I still expressed my hope for him. Today, I have to peel him down!"

"In the Ming Dynasty, drought, floods, and earth dragons turn over. Natural disasters are endless. People in China are hungry for feeding, and even changing children to eat! In Liaodong, there are Jiannu rebellions and rebellions. In this way, man-made disasters also occur from time to time. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has reached its most critical moment. If you are not careful, it will be the end of the country and the seeds."

"But what about you? How clean are you than Han Du? Fight for power! Get profit! Intrigue! Fight for strife! Don't think about how to revive the Ming Dynasty, but keep making money in your pocket!"

"Yue Wumu once said that civil officials should not be greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, but look at my loyal ministers! Civil officials are thinking about how to make money, and military generals are afraid of death everywhere! The nobles also corrupt! Tell me, which of your titles is not your ancestors who have fought for their lives! Now you are squandering the remaining shade of their ancestors! You are not comparing who has made any contributions to the country, but who is more greedy! Who can make money better!"

"I didn't sleep all night last night, and I just sat in the imperial study room for a night. I was wondering, what's wrong with this country? I asked myself that I was quite diligent and didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people like Zhou Zhou. But why did my Ming Dynasty become what I am today? My dear friends, come and tell me, is it because I am not virtuous? I just issued an edict that I will never add a tribute, and then you have staged such a good show for me, um?!"

"It is said that the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated by the ministers, but I have not seen such a shadow in you! All I see is the word greed!"

"If you are rotten, the Ming Dynasty will be rotten. If you are rotten, the people who cannot eat can eat the court, even I, with you! What kind of treatment do the ministers who have lost their country have been written in history books in all dynasties! You are also well-read poetry, but you have forgotten them all!?"

"I, I have something to tell you today. If the Ming Dynasty falls one day, I will hang myself on the crooked tree in the Coal Mountain behind me. But before that, I will definitely hang you all!"

"Think about it carefully. If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? If the Ming Dynasty dies, will those mud legs that cannot be eaten before you find a new master? "
