    In late autumn, the city of Yanjing is a bit more desolate and lonely. Occasionally, a black crow will fall on the bare trees.  The unpleasant screams make people feel more irritable, the weather is gradually getting cooler, there are fewer people on the street, and it looks even more desolate.  Occasionally, when I pass a pedestrian, he always has a cold face and walks in a hurry.  The Forbidden City is still located there. Time seems to have left no trace on this city. It is still so majestic and intimidating.  Emperor Tianqi was walking in the imperial garden of the Forbidden City at this time. The autumn leaves were falling, and there were withered yellow leaves floating on the lake. The emperor was also feeling a little depressed.  Sighing softly, Emperor Tianqi looked back at Liu Yijing and said in a deep voice: "It is already September and the weather is getting colder. Water transportation must be kept smooth this year. The money for water transportation must be distributed this morning. Don't  The money owed to the farmers must be ensured. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter is a top priority. All the six ministries and the cabinet are watching, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." Liu Yijing said to Emperor Tianqi.  He bowed and said in a respectful tone.  Nodding slightly, Emperor Tianqi turned his gaze to Wang Chengen aside, frowned and said: "You will send an order to Dongchang in a moment, asking the Wei Dynasty to keep an eye on this matter, and ensure that the silver hair of the cauldron reaches Xianhu's hands."  Here. If any official is found to have embezzled this money, report it directly to me. If he can't handle this matter, Dongchang will leave it alone!" "Don't worry, your Majesty, please remember.  "Yes, I will go to Dongchang in a moment." Wang Chengen saluted respectfully, but a trace of worry flashed across his face. He could feel that Emperor Tianqi disliked the Wei Dynasty more and more, and he was really pinching it for the Wei Dynasty now.  Sweat.  Liu Yijing on the other side had a look of approval at this time. Emperor Tianqi was able to use Jinyiwei and Dongchang in these places, which made him feel very at ease.  As for those corrupt officials, in Liu Yijing's opinion, they all deserved their punishment.  Walking forward, Emperor Tianqi said to Liu Yijing again: "Although the salt tax this year can only be collected for one quarter before the year, there will also be a lot of silver. I don't know the details yet. This matter is the cabinet issue  Work carefully with the six ministries to make sure nothing goes wrong. You must know that this is the largest amount of money in the treasury this year. The salaries of officials and military pay in various places at the end of the year will all be included in this money, so you must be extra careful. " Liu Yi.  Jing's expression suddenly became serious. This year Emperor Tianqi investigated the Lianghuai Salt Case and punished a large number of corrupt officials.  Now that the imperial court has been able to collect the salt tax, all the officials in the imperial court are curious about how much money they can receive.  "Don't worry, your Majesty, the cabinet will issue a note when it returns and strictly order local officials to actively cooperate. The Supervisory Office will also send a special salt inspection censor to organize and coordinate. There will be no problem." Liu Yijing's face suddenly became serious.  , looked at Emperor Tianqi and assured.  Nodding slightly, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Liu Yijing and said with a smile on his face: "Since Aiqing became the second minister of the cabinet, she has handled matters in an orderly manner and has not disappointed me." "The emperor appreciates these.  It's just the duty of a minister. A minister should do his best to serve the emperor, and that's what he should do." Liu Yijing quickly bowed and saluted, but there was still a hint of joy in his eyes.  Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing with a smile and said in a deep voice: "My beloved, do you know what I value most about you?" "Back to the emperor, I don't know!" Liu Yijing was slightly startled, with a look on his face.  Said somewhat expectantly.  "What I value is Aiqing's character. As the second minister of the cabinet, Aiqing does the things that are indeed the chief minister of the cabinet. For such a long time, I have never heard Aiqing say anything, and you have never heard anything.  Rumors, I know these are all due to your love, I feel very relieved." Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing with a smile and said with appreciation in his tone.  Liu Yijing on the side had a smile on his face, gave a respectful salute, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is a wise master, a wise king of Zhongxing. I am lucky to be able to support the emperor in my lifetime." Liu Yijing looked serious.  , said seriously.  Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, had another idea. Even if Liu Yijing had any ideas, it was useless.  The position of Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, cannot be shaken by anyone. It requires merit and prestige.  At the same time, he was the teacher of Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi had great trust in Sun Chengzong. Liu Yijing's ideas were in vain.  "Okay, that's it for today. If you have nothing to do, please go back first!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said to Liu Yijing with a smile.  "I leave!" He saluted Emperor Tianqi, turned around and walked out.  Looking around, Emperor Tianqi nodded, turned to Wang Chengen and said: "The matter is almost over, let's go back! How is the Queen's side?""Back to the Emperor, everything is well with the Queen. The Queen is about to give birth, so everyone is very careful." Wang Chengen quickly bowed and saluted, with a happy smile on his face. Emperor Tianqi has been on the throne for more than two years.  There is no prince at present, which is really unreasonable.  Now that Empress Zhang is pregnant, if she can give birth to a prince for Emperor Tianqi, he will be the future prince.  Now the entire palace is looking forward to this event, whether it is the empress dowager or the eunuchs and maids in the palace.  Hearing Wang Chengen¡¯s answer, Emperor Tianqi nodded gently. Emperor Tianqi in history had no heirs.  Many historical records record that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka secretly did this, which was also the direct reason why Emperor Tianqi killed these two people so quickly.  Returning to the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Tianqi reached behind the Long Bookcase and had just flipped through the memorials for a few minutes when Wang Chengen strode in, bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Dongchang, Wei Chao, is outside asking for an audience.  " At this time, Wang Chengen's face was not very good-looking. Emperor Tianqi had just mentioned the Wei Dynasty, and at this time he bumped into him.  I hope it's a good thing, otherwise the Wei Dynasty will definitely be in trouble.  Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Do you know what happened?" Upon hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Tianqi did not want to see the Wei Dynasty, but at this point there was no way out.  I hope that the Wei Dynasty brought good news. He bowed respectfully and said, "Go back to the emperor. I don't know. Eunuch Wei said that the matter is of great importance and he must report it to the emperor in person." After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a solemn face:  "Let him come in!" After a short time, Wei Chao came in from outside, picked up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Slave, please see the emperor, long live the emperor!" He glanced at Wei Chao.  At that time, Emperor Tianqi found that Wei Chao seemed to be much older. He was slightly startled and felt a little unbearable.  He nodded and said: "Get up! How did you end up like this? Except for what else?" "Back to the emperor, I just feel the cold occasionally, it's nothing serious." Seeing Emperor Tianqi looking at him with concern, Wei  Chao felt a little warm in his heart. Although Emperor Tianqi looked down on him, he was still pretty good from the bottom of his heart.  "Go back and let the imperial doctor take a good look at it. Don't let anything go wrong!" Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile and said softly.  Wei Chao's face was touched, and his lips trembled as he said: Thank you, Your Majesty, this servant is able to receive these few words from the Emperor, and his health immediately improved a lot.  " Nodding, Emperor Tianqi changed the topic to business and said: "What do you want to do today?  I hear you tell me it's a big deal?  " "Back to the emperor, I heard some news from Dongchang. I didn't dare to delay at all, so I hurried into the palace to report to your majesty.  "Looking at Emperor Tianqi respectfully, Wei Chao quickly replied. At this time, the expression on Wei Chao's face was very complicated. He seemed to be still hesitating. He opened and closed his lips several times but did not say anything. " Emperor Tianqi was slightly stunned. Emperor Tianqi did not expect that Wei Chao  Chao Hui was so hesitant. It seemed that the person involved in this matter was definitely not a small person. He smiled and waved his hand, and Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Say it!  This is not the first time for a big event, so there is no need to be hesitant like this.  " "Back to the emperor, the thing is like this. Dongchang's spies heard some news in the capital.  Some people say that Sun Chengzong, the chief scholar of the cabinet, supported his own troops in Liaodong and was very likely to repeat the disaster of the vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.  "Bending his body, Wei Chao lowered his head very low. He did not dare to look at Emperor Tianqi's face. First he was stunned, and then Emperor Tianqi laughed and said, "Where did you hear such rumors?  Who are the people who are spreading the news?  " "Back to the emperor, rumors spread quickly. When I went to investigate, I had no clue.  Although some people were arrested, no one was found who spread the rumors.  Some people also say that even if Mr. Sun is loyal to the court, if someone in yellow robe comes to show up, it will be too late to regret it!  "Wei Chao's voice became smaller and smaller, because Emperor Tianqi's face became more and more ugly, and his hands were constantly shaking. "Your Majesty, calm down!  It¡¯s important to take care of your dragon body!  "Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Emperor Tianqi's side and said with a calm tone. After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi signaled Wang Chengen to leave. He stared at the Wei Dynasty closely and said in a serious voice: "You said the news spread very quickly.  quick?  To what extent has it reached now?  " "Back to the emperor, although the news came from the people, it is now very serious, and it has already spread in the yamen, as if it spread overnight.  "Wei Chao had a worried look on his face. It was obvious that this was done deliberately by someone with good intentions. It became clear at this glance. "Didn't your Dongchang find any information?  Also let the newsDispersed into the Yamen?  "Emperor Tianqi stood up, looked at Wei Chao, and asked loudly. Wei Chao below looked guilty and didn't say a word. "Trash!  "Emperor Tianqi slapped the table hard and said angrily. (To be continued.
