    Standing respectfully aside, Chen Hong waited for Emperor Tianqi's instructions. Without Emperor Tianqi's nod, naturally there was no way this matter would be accomplished.  Looking back at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, curved the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Chen Hong, who gave you this idea? Or who told you, I  Is there no one around to serve you?" After saying that, Emperor Tianqi ignored Chen Hong and turned around to leave.  Standing there in a daze, Chen Hong suddenly felt a cold breeze on his neck. A gust of breeze blew by, and Chen Hong shivered violently.  The expression on his face also became very ugly, and his eyes became sharp.  Seeing the disappearing figure of Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hong breathed a deep sigh of relief.  The emperor came to Nanjing to suppress the rebellion. If a female talent was selected at this time, what would the news be like outside?  I'm afraid it will turn into another Sui Yang Emperor!  Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, and the emperor probably went to Jiangnan to find women.  Now there are already rumors that Emperor Tianqi is cruel and unkind. If he adds lustful, I am afraid that the name of this faint emperor will be determined.  Public opinion in this era is very monotonous. Who is in the hands of public opinion?  In the hands of a scholar!  Ordinary people do not understand anything and regard the words of scholars as truth.  If Mr. Zhao from the village head private school said something, ten out of ten people in the whole village would believe it.  Why did Mr. Zhao say it so confidently? It was because this was what Zhang Juren in the county said.  Where did Zhang Juren get the news? It came from the provincial capital.  "If it is passed down like this, ordinary people may not be able to hear the true story of the matter.  As the saying goes, three people can become a tiger, but what can be achieved by so many people is not necessarily what it is.  At this time, Chen Hong broke out in a cold sweat. He told the emperor this proposal, and the emperor already understood that the person who came up with this idea had evil intentions.  But the emperor's trust in himself was false.  He didn't believe that this was his idea, so that's why he said what he just said.  After thinking about it, Chen Hong sighed helplessly. He had no way to investigate this matter!  As long as he insists that he is doing it for the sake of the emperor, he has no choice but to admit that he is a mute.  But this wouldn't be the first time.  It definitely won't be the second time. Next time I want to admit it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.  Time has slowly arrived in mid-October, and the entire city of Nanjing has almost recovered. Merchants are doing business, and the entire city of Nanjing has regained its prosperity.  But all the officials are waiting for the outcome of the case.  The entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is paying attention. Many people are not paying attention to how the emperor will deal with these people, but are paying attention to the vacant official positions.  But Emperor Tianqi didn¡¯t really care.  Nanjing's three provinces and six ministries are in name only, and this organizational system must be retained.  Now that the north and south are too far apart and the exchange of information remains unchanged, it is necessary for the three provinces and six departments in Nanjing to exist.  However, there are many things that cannot be explained clearly. The officialdom and people of Ming Dynasty have adapted to this management method, and I can't do anything about it for the time being.  After getting dressed under the auspices of Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi prepared to go to the morning court. The case was almost finished.  Learn about the case as soon as possible.  Emperor Tianqi also had to arrange other things.  After all, he didn't come to Nanjing just for the rebellion case.  I still have a big move to make.  If you make this move well, you will lay the foundation for your future actions.  "Your Majesty, the governors of the seven southern provinces have arrived, and they are also waiting to attend the morning court." Chen Hong was only responsible for passing the news to Emperor Tianqi. As for other things, he was not the one to ask, nor could he ask.  He nodded slowly.  Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to say to them in the morning. After the morning, you take them to the back. I have something to say to them." "Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong looked serious.  The nodded.  He knew that there must be something important for Emperor Tianqi to cook in such a big way.  ¡°If something happens, come early, if nothing happens, leave the court!¡± In Chen Hong¡¯s shout, Emperor Tianqi¡¯s second morning court in Nanjing began.  His eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, and Emperor Tianqi¡¯s eyes fell on Guan Yingzhen.  This time the case was presided over by him. In fact, there was no need for a trial. He could just convict him directly.  The task given to them by Emperor Tianqi was also very simple, that is, to sentence these people.  "Your Majesty, I have concluded the rebellion case and now I will submit my order to the Emperor!" Guan Yingzhen also knew that Emperor Tianqi was waiting for him to speak, so he walked out quickly and said respectfully.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "I am very relieved that Aiqing is doing things, and it has indeed lived up to my expectations. Now that we have talked about it, Aiqing will let you know the results!" "Yes, Your Majesty!  After the interrogation with the three ministers, I have already drawn up the charges. An Xiangbo, Cheng Yi and others have disobeyed and attempted rebellion. According to the Ming Dynasty law, the three clans should be punished. "Guan Yingzhen also knew very well that this matter must be severely punished, and there was no room for negotiation.  The officials below all looked at Guan Yingzhen in surprise. This official bachelor was quite ruthless!  Why haven't you noticed it before?  Guan Yingzhen is very clear that the emperor wants to defeat the power of these people this time. If he only kills the culprits, he will definitely not achieve the purpose of cleansing.  Although Guan Yingzhen felt a little guilty, in his opinion, these people definitely deserved their death.  There is no need for these people to tolerate smuggling and liaison with pirates.  Emperor Tianqi sat on a chair, looked at the ministers below expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, I don't know what you think, you can tell me!" "Your Majesty, these people are plotting against me, and they are actually committing crimes.  He sent people to assassinate the emperor with the intention of mutiny. It is really a heinous crime and cannot be punished. I ask you to punish the three clans as a warning!" Wang Lun, the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan, stood up and bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi.  said.  Now the ministers once again looked at each other. In fact, many people felt that the crime of slaying the three tribes was a bit excessive.  This kind of punishment has not been used in the Ming Dynasty for many years, but no one will stand up to plead for mercy, because no one in the Ming Dynasty has dared to rebel so blatantly for many years.  Of course, this does not include local rebellions, which only need to be exterminated.  Rebellion that occurs among the ruled classes is not the same as rebellion that occurs among the ruling class.  But in this case, no one expected Wang Lun to come forward.  Many people thought that Wang Lun was seeking personal revenge, but Wang Lun himself knew what Emperor Tianqi was thinking.  This was just Wang Lun's performance in front of Emperor Tianqi. As for the life and death of those people, it actually didn't matter.  After looking around and seeing no one speaking, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Since I came to the throne, I have not dared to slack off at all. I have done something. If one day I meet the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, I will be considered to have done something.  "This time someone caused trouble, I am heartbroken. I feel that I have nothing to do with them. However, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately. It is too harsh to punish the three tribes. I can't bear it!"  He sighed lightly and said with a complicated expression.  "It's enough to kill one family. Don't kill three clans. Let's handle this matter like this! However, I will not tolerate those who commit rebellion. The Jin Yiwei will investigate carefully and severely punish those who are involved in the rebellion case."  Missing." After saying this, Emperor Tianqi stood up, turned around and walked out.  Many ministers are confused, but many people understand it!  Emperor Tianqi did not kill the three tribes, not out of mercy, but to show his kindness.  No matter what the truth is, everyone will praise: Your Majesty is merciful!  But what many people care about is what Emperor Tianqi said after that. The Jinyiwei will continue to investigate and deal with it, which means that it is very likely that you will be charged with a crime, which means that your home will be ransacked and you will be arrested.  It seems that the emperor wants to take advantage of the family members of the criminals. In order to save their lives, these people will probably agree to any conditions.  I just guessed it and could only keep it in my heart, no one dared to say it out loud, but my awe for Emperor Tianqi deepened once again.  After returning to the harem, Emperor Tianqi didn't wait long before the ministers outside walked in.  Participating in this meeting were not only the governors from various places, but also the guard eunuchs and the eunuchs of the Shipping Department.  But no one knows why Emperor Tianqi found people like him here, but at this time, I'm afraid there is nothing good going on.  "I came to you today with only one thing. I plan to reopen the shipping company! You should all know that since the Jiajing Dynasty, there has been only one shipping company in Guangdong. Now that the treasury has no money, I believe that all of you dear friends will also  It¡¯s clear, I¡¯m going to reopen the sea trade, what do you think?¡± Emperor Tianqi glanced at everyone¡¯s faces and said expressionlessly.  In fact, there is no political resistance to the opening of the sea now. The foundation was already laid for the opening of the sea in Longqing.  However, during the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates broke out along the coast, and all shipping companies were closed down, leaving only one in Guangdong.  There is already a navy, how could Emperor Tianqi give up such a profitable business as sea trade.  With the increase in population in the Ming Dynasty, land annexation has become very serious.  The privileged class enacted by Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay taxes, which made Emperor Tianqi scratch his head.  If we impose taxes, we are doing the right thing for the whole world.  When a family has a Jinshi, the whole family does not have to pay taxes.  If Emperor Tianqi abolishes this prohibition, I am afraid that it will not only be opposition from officials, but also from ordinary people.  Nowadays, many refugees have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. If they are not controlled, they will definitely become bandits in the end.  These landless people are the source of disaster for the entire Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, these labor forces liberated from the land are wealth, huge wealth!  (To be continued)ps: Starting from tomorrow, updates will be resumed!
