Clang! Clang! Clang!

When the bell rang, Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair, his face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt boundless miserable, desolate, and lonely.

By the time of the previous dynasty, the number of people was only half of what it used to be.

Those officials who usually walk around the court and are impassioned have long since dispersed.

"It's really a good minister of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen suddenly smiled, and his words were full of sadness and sorrow.

This group of white-eyed wolves, I'm afraid they will find a way back for themselves and run away.

Obviously, many officials have felt that the general trend of the Ming Dynasty has gone, and the trees are falling and scattered, and they are looking for a way out.

The officials don't want to do it.

The officials who are still left today are not how loyal they are to Daming, but they plan to continue to be officials.

Before the capital is broken, he will be the official of the Ming Dynasty.

Whoever breaks through the capital, they will be their officials.

To be an official of the Ming Dynasty is to do, to be a Dashun, and to be an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also to be done.

At this time, the ministers had already figured out how to surrender Li Zicheng.

"Wang Chengen, write down the officials who have not been to the court today!"

Zhu Youzhen said coldly, and then glanced at the ministers in the palace: "Wang Chengen, tell the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty how the fundraising has been going in the past few days." "

Wang Chengen took out a booklet and read it out loud: "Guozhang Zhou Kui, donate three thousand taels!" "

Yo?

This old boy is so generous?

Donate two thousand taels so much?

The courtiers looked at Zhou Kui in surprise, they had already reached a tacit agreement that the donation should not exceed the number of the first assistant Wei Zaode, and as the largest official, it was also appropriate for others to donate no more than him.

So Wei Zaode donated five hundred taels.

The others were mostly three hundred taels or two hundred taels, and they were all a little surprised when they heard that Zhou Kui had donated three thousand taels.

Zhou Kui saw that the ministers were so surprised, and he shamelessly raised his head to accept everyone's surprised gaze.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhou Kui's proud appearance, thinking that the eunuch reported that he heard that he wanted to donate money, pretending to be crazy and crying stupidly and poor, and he asked for no money and wanted you to take it casually, he smiled coldly in his heart, and he wanted to kill him with a knife.

"Zhou Kui!"

Zhu Youzhen's cold voice sounded: "If I remember correctly, you promised to donate 10,000 taels, you and the queen asked for help, and the queen gave you 5,000, and you actually deducted 2,000 taels from it and only gave me 3,000 taels." I'm right. "

Zhou Kui's face suddenly turned pale.

The hall was in an uproar, and the surprised expressions of the ministers turned into disdain, we have no relatives with the emperor and have no reason, and it is normal to cry and cry poor and not want to take money.

The emperor is your son-in-law, and your daughter gives you 5,000 taels to let you deal with the emperor, so you still have to fill your own pockets?

Are you still human?

Wei Zaode said in his heart, the old emperor is so stingy, the court is in a difficult situation, and major things must not be done!

The emperor's father-in-law is so picky, who else can be counted on to donate? The Great Ming Kingdom is dying.

"The sin of deceit! There is no forgiveness for sin! Come on, take Zhou Kui for me! "

As Zhou Kui's heart-rending begging for mercy gradually faded away, Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, and he immediately understood and continued to read

"The first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, donate five hundred taels!"

"Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, donate four hundred taels!"

............

Dozens of people were recited, and none of them exceeded five hundred taels.

The ministers looked at their noses and noses, and their faces were as usual.

According to their experience, this donation will also be the same as before, and the emperor will be over with a few angry words at most.

If you want them to come out with real money, dream!

This Ming is not my Ming, it is the emperor's Ming.

The money is my money.

"Wang Yongqi donated 30,000 taels!"

"Cao Huachun donated 50,000 taels!"

After reading it so far, Zhu Youzhen sneered: "Even the eunuchs donate more than you, and I Ling'er and others are all crying with me one by one, and they donate less than 200,000 taels for three days, what is enough?" "

Wei Zaode sighed, and was aggrieved: "Your Majesty, the capital is big, it is not easy to live, there is no surplus wealth in the minister's family, and the five hundred taels are still sold by the minister with the porcelain that has been treasured for many years, I hope that the Ming Dynasty will survive the difficulties!" "

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has been trembling all his life, his sleeves are clean, he is honest and honest, and the money in his family is only enough to live, even if he sells the minister's more than 100 catties, it is difficult to complete the donation."

"The minister's family is surrounded by four walls, and they have sold their fields, chickens and ducks, and they have only collected one hundred taels!"

The hall immediately became noisy, and the courtiers complained about how innocent and honest they had been during their tenure, and some officials told the emperor that they had put up a sign on the door of the house that said 'This house is for sale urgently', and they could donate money just after the house was sold.

All this is to tell the emperor: we really don't have money to donate, see what you can do.

"Hahahaha..."

Zhu Youzhen didn't laugh angrily.

The courtiers looked at each other, could it be that the emperor was crazy?

"Are you really a fool? I don't know if you're fooling me! One by one, the family has a huge fortune, and now the Ming Dynasty is in danger, but they are like iron roosters, not pulling out a hair, are they all looking for a way out? Wait for the thieves to enter the capital and prepare to surrender? "

Well?

How did this emperor become smart today?

Actually saw through our thoughts?

Thinking like this in his heart, Wei Zaode hurriedly knelt down and bowed for a long time, with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" The minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon! There was no surrender. "

Immediately afterwards, all the courtiers fell to their knees and let out a tsunami-like 'shouting of grievances'

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers are wronged! The courtiers are loyal to the Ming Dynasty as evidence! The sun and the moon can be seen! "

Zhu Youzhen smiled angrily: "Okay! Good! Good! All of you are loyal ministers! "

Completely disappointed with this group of people.

He originally listened to Zhu Yijun tell about the rest of the matter, although he was extremely angry, but he still had a trace of expectation in his heart, the Ming Dynasty has been a monk for three hundred years, it won't come to that point, right?

However, the truth is exactly the same as what Zhu Yijun said, and even more ironic.

Well, since you are ruthless and unjust, then I will not have any guilt about raiding my family and exterminating my clan at that time.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's mind sounded a spatial prompt.
