Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 890 The Emperor Guards the Country

The emperor's words received mixed reactions.

For the civil servants and military officers on the stage, such a situation was a dereliction of duty and a slap in the face. Especially those who have jurisdiction, but those who are directly related have been arrested by factory guards. There is still a major rebellion case behind them. No one dares to offend the emperor at this time, otherwise if If the emperor thinks he is an accomplice, it will be a serious crime that will harm his family. Even if he does not die, he will never be resurrected. With such serious consequences, even if they disliked such a scene, they had no choice but to accept it.

As for the ordinary people in the audience, when such a situation occurs, it is a huge event. The emperor has the people in his heart. As the saying goes, the emperor is a good emperor, but there were treacherous officials below who caused trouble before. Now the emperor personally takes care of the people. They make the decision, and this kind of thing is simply the most exciting thing for them.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen once again explained the intention of the public trial in public, the system's continuous prompts seemed to have accelerated countless times, and all that could be heard was a continuous "ding ding ding" sound.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the skyrocketing achievement value number in the lower left corner of the chat group. He was very happy. After turning around and walking back to the throne to sit down, Chen Youming walked out from the people below, pointed at Chen Youtong who was kneeling on the platform and said loudly: "This Chen Youtong oppresses the common people... Please make the decision for the common people!"

Then, he pointed at Chen Donghai and others and told them one by one the injustices such as exclusion and suppression they had suffered over the years. The voice was loud and the tone was very angry, so that others could hear it. If the emperor hadn't come, their family would have been bullied by these local tyrants and bullies, and their families would be separated and destroyed.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not come out to interact anymore, and would just look at this from his throne. Jin Yiwei, the own book office, is recording.

After finishing speaking, Uncle Wang came out again, pointed at those people and began to scold them for stealing lake silk. He even mentioned old things, including killing a silkworm farmer, etc., and then Wang Xiaowu and the others.

Liu Xingzuo and others who followed Emperor Chongzhen immediately realized that the people who initially complained and complained were the same people who had been surrounded in the house before. Then, under their leadership, other people followed their example and took turns telling the stories of the oppression they had encountered over the years.

It has to be said that these tyrants have been doing a lot of evil in Nanxun Town for so many years. Therefore, the number of people who complained was simply beyond imagination. One person came forward and talked for two minutes. More than an hour passed, and there was no sign of stopping.

It was okay for Emperor Chongzhen to sit on the throne. Those civil servants and military generals had stood motionless for such a long time, and some of them were a little unable to stand. But the emperor was watching, and the crowd was so excited and the atmosphere was so lively that they could only grit their teeth and endure.

The people below were talking and talking, and finally some people were no longer satisfied with exposing the evil deeds of the people on the platform, but instead accused them of some evil things in the town, and there were quite a few of them. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen left his throne again, strode to the front of the stage, took the records from the book office, read them, and then loudly said to the people below: "As long as it is an injustice suffered by the people of Ming Dynasty, I will deal with it." , give you justice."

Hearing this, the people below burst into cheers. Wherever there is no oppression, the more economically developed the place, the more people are oppressed and exploited. How could they not be happy about the emperor's public commitment?

However, Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to be happy for a while, and then said: "After I have dealt with the matter in Nanxun Town, I will send factory guards to visit and order the local officials to strictly supervise the handling. If the local officials want to cover up anything, they can report it to Factory guard’s complaint.”

The people were a little surprised to hear this. Didn't the emperor personally handle it like Nanxun Town did?

Emperor Chongzhen knew what they were thinking, so he added: "Many places in our Ming Dynasty are suffering from military disasters, droughts, etc. The people there are short of food, and even the tragedy of exchanging children for food has occurred. And the people of Liaodong, especially Being oppressed by the Jianlu, they are like cows and horses, and if they don't get what they want at the slightest moment, their lives will be in danger..."

The people below listened quietly this time. They suddenly realized that they originally thought that the injustice they suffered was already very miserable, but they did not expect that people in other places were even worse. Comparing themselves to the injustice they suffered, this made the people in Jiangnan feel even more sympathetic, and they couldn't help but sympathize with the people in the north who were suffering difficulties.

If they had felt that things in the north were very far away for them before, now the emperor implicated them both, making them feel for the first time that they were actually the same emperor and the same people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when the emperor said that he had no time to stay here to continue presiding over injustices in various places for them, and that he had to return to the capital to deal with more important matters, he had no complaints.

"I am very pleased with the diligence of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am even more happy with the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River." Emperor Chongzhen changed the subject as he spoke, but the people below were listening attentively, "But this time I came Jiangnan, I have also heard some bad words, saying what does the affairs of the northerners have to do with the southerners? I would like to know, if it were not for the desperate resistance of the northerners and the barbarians moving south, would this Jiangnan still be the current Jiangnan? History has long ago Yes, what will the barbarians going south bring to Jiangnan!"

"But you don't have to worry. As long as I am alive, the emperor will guard the country's gates and the barbarians will step over my body first." Emperor Chongzhen said loudly.

The emperor guards the country! This word was mentioned in public for the first time. It was the emperor who made a pledge to so many people in the form of an oath. The sonorous meaning in the words was unequivocal. This made the people who had been inspired by the public trial suddenly become excited again.

"Last year, the northern soldiers used their lives to win several battles and liberated many cities in Liaodong. There will no longer be the possibility of the rebels invading the capital, or even going south. I believe that in a few years, they will be eliminated. Jianlu."

"However, it costs money to fight a war, and it also costs money to rebuild the north so that the people in the north can live a good life like you. I will not levy any more exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Just like the Liao Dynasty, as long as the opportunity comes, I will immediately Abolition. But the taxes that should be collected will definitely be collected. This money is taken from the people and used by the people. I hope that my people can live a good life..."

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen said this is to give an advance notice of the tax policy that will be implemented on a large scale in the future, so that the people in Jiangnan can have more understanding and be less likely to be instigated by people with ulterior motives.

Having said so much sincerely, it is time to establish his authority.
