25: Wei Zaode's 'loyalty', the smiling Zhu Youzhen, aid is coming!

Chongzhen Dynasty.

Three days later, it was the twelfth of February.

After being reminded by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Youzhen opened the court meeting, and the theme was - Salary.

Although he believed Zhu Gaoxian's words very much, Zhu Youzhen still wanted to see with his own eyes whether these civil servants and nobles really couldn't support the wall.

In the final analysis, at this time, Zhu Youzhen is a little bit of self-esteem in his heart.

He wants to make some achievements before the arrival of his three grandparents...... It's good to make some money, at least to prove that your court is not so worthless, isn't it?

"Emperor, it's time to go to court. "

The emperor went to the court, generally from the Jinshen Hall to the Fengtian Palace, that is, the Huangji Hall at this time, and outside the door were the Fengtian Gate and the Nine Dragon Bridge.

The ministers could enter the Emperor's Palace, but the officials of the lower grades could only participate in the court meeting in the square inside the Fengtian Gate.

"Let's go, have all the ministers arrived?"

"This ......

".

Wang Chengen wanted to speak and stopped, the emperor's mood had obviously improved a lot in the past two days, and he didn't want to use these things to spoil Zhu Youzhen's mood.

Even if Zhu Youzhen goes to the court later, he will see the situation with his own eyes, but his inner thought is that how happy the emperor can be will be for a while....

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly became very ugly.

I wanted to find some face in front of the three ancestors, but I didn't expect this group of dogs to be so uncooperative.

It's not just that it's not as simple as not going to court, but it's the royal decency that has lost a clean spot here!

Let the three ancestors see this, I am afraid that my evaluation in their hearts will be greatly reduced......

For a while, Zhu Youzhen was both ashamed and angry, and he was really angry in his heart.

Wang Chengen's head was tightly lowered, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen's face change, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The gang of Ziwenchen in the court, with benevolence, righteousness and morality on their lips, are full of power calculations in their hearts, and their stomachs are full of business, they really should be killed!

But he is just a eunuch and an emperor's slave...... What can be done?

When the master and servant came to the Huangji Palace, Zhu Youzhen took a look, and his face suddenly became as ugly as he looked.

In the Imperial Palace, the ministers in the class can be counted almost at a glance.

The status is slightly higher, that is, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, and the ...... Zhou Kui, the national abbot

This is the case inside the main hall, let alone outside the Imperial Palace.

The square outside the hall was empty, in stark contrast to the crowded appearance of the last year's court meeting.

Zhu Youzhen darkened his face, sat down on the dragon chair, glanced at Wei Zaode and said, "Wei Zaode, where have the officials gone!?"

Zhu Youzhen could imagine that there might be fewer civil officials in the palace, but he didn't expect that there would be so many less!

Obviously, Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan Mansion and went straight to Shuntian Mansion, which had scared these silverfish out of their guts.

Faced with the matter of their own payment, these people dared to resist the decree and disrespect.

Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust.

Zhu Youzhen had already sentenced these to death in his heart, and sneered: "Wang Chengen, all the officials who should have arrived today will be recorded in my book!"

When the three ancestors come, they will start with you people to raid the house.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was already on the verge of going berserk, Wei Zaode hurriedly went out of class to kowtow and began to advise: "Your Majesty, yesterday the holy decree of the salary came down, and all the civil and military officials were worried, and many people are still selling in the market at this time to help the imperial court ......

."

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not......

In the past, this Wei Zaode was good at rhetoric, eloquent, and always keenly aware of Zhu Youzhen's thoughts. Therefore, this product can always cater to Zhu Youzhen's mind and is very popular with Zhu Youzhen.

Wei Zaode was very aware of his status in Zhu Youzhen's mind, so he thought that this time was the same, and the emperor would definitely listen to him.

But how did Wei Zaode know that Zhu Gaoxian had already told Zhu Youzhen about his deeds.

Zhu Youzhen saw that at such a critical juncture, this Wei Zaode was still clever and pretending to talk about him, and he was immediately bored.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't scold Wei Zaode, he wanted to hear what this talented and unvirtuous guy had to say, "Anyway, I want to see what you have to say." "

"Your Majesty......." Wei Zaode kowtowed, his face full of righteousness and awe, "the ministers thought that they should not initiate the subsidy, but now that the people's livelihood is withering, everything is cheating, and the courtiers' families are not having a good time!

"It's so sad!" Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zaode coldly, and said with a smile: "I remember, the subsidy last year was led by Wei Qing?"

"Your Majesty, this is a different time. Today's most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts and protect the Beijing Division, in order to ...... the way back."

"That's enough!" Zhu Youzhen sneered: "I see Wei Qing, you have long been ready to welcome the new dynasty, and you don't want to serve ......."

Before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Wei Zaode was frightened and cried for the heavens and the earth, "Your Majesty! Why did you come up with such heart-wrenching words? The minister's sincerity can be seen from the sun and the moon! Since entering the cabinet, the minister has been sleeping all night, thinking hard for the imperial court, and not daring to slack off....... His Majesty's words made the ministers sad...... Your Majesty is invited to fulfill your resignation!".

Zhu Youzhen's words really shocked Wei Zaode, how did the emperor become smart, he could guess his inner thoughts.

Since Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan Mansion and threatened Shuntian Mansion, Wei Zaode saw that the big ship of the Ming Dynasty was already crumbling and could be destroyed at any time.

In his opinion, he became the first assistant at the age of not being confused, and there are still a lot of good times in the future...... He is only eight buckets high, and he is good at words, which will definitely make Li Zicheng cherish his talents, and he can't say that he can still enter the phase!

A fool will follow the broken ship of Daming to be silent and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback, which is the choice of a smart person.

Wei Zaode's head was buried tightly on the floor tiles of the Imperial Palace, obviously paying attention, but Zhu Youzhen disagreed, so he knelt down.

Zhu Youzhen was about to agree to Wei Zaode's request by the way, but Zhou Kui, the national abbot, jumped out, "Your Majesty, the minister only has a thousand taels of family assets left, and I am willing to offer your majesty!

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zaode took the opportunity to answer: "The minister has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and yesterday he sold his property and got a thousand taels of silver. I would like to offer my Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to allow your ministers to resign!".

When he said this, Wei Zaode's buried face was full of pain.

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for oneself! But if you can get out in time, this thousand taels is worth it!

"Your Majesty! Duke Wei is a loyal minister, and Your Majesty persecuted a just minister like this?"

Zhu Youzhen took a closer look, and it was Jinyiwei who commanded Luo Yangxing!

The knife in his hand was actually mixed with Wenchen, and he was still talking for Wenchen, which was ridiculous in front of him! No wonder at the previous group meeting, the eyes of the three ancestors were full of disappointment when they looked at him!

As an emperor, I've failed too much!

With Luo Yang's persuasion, the remaining officials in the Imperial Palace knelt on the ground one after another and pleaded for Wei Zaode.

Looking at this group of embarrassed and persecuted themselves, Zhu Youzhen was really angry in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, a light curtain popped up in front of Zhu Youzhen.

[The group aid began, Tiancheng Emperor Zhu Gaoxian brought 10,000 reinforcements, which is about to come, please ask the group member Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to prepare. 】
