"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."
Qian Qianyi didn't show much fear, but said bluntly, "If these crops are really what Mr. Li said, wouldn't they be too exaggerated? How can they weigh more than a thousand kilograms?"
"right!"
In addition, Wang Ruichang also nodded and kept up with the rhythm, "I think Master Li's exaggeration is really unconvincing!"
"If I want to impeach Li Biao, I am really deceiving the emperor!"
For a while, everyone stood up one after another, and their attitude was very obvious. They couldn't touch their own interests anyway.
Chongzhen's face first turned from ugly to cold, his eyes full of disappointment and murderous intent.
He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty had reached such a critical moment, and these ministers were still trying to pass the buck and argue over trivial matters!
Do you still have this country in your heart?
"shut up!"
Anger and resentment suddenly surged in his heart. The emperor slapped the dragon case and shouted through gritted teeth, "Such crops have been planted along the coast of Fujian for a long time! They were seeds brought by foreign countries when they came to Korea. !”
"And just last winter, planting had already begun in the Kyoto area, and the yield per acre of land could indeed reach thousands! I have seen these with my own eyes. In the year of the disaster, how many fewer people will die! Have you counted them? Is there any more!”
At this point, Chongzhen was so anxious that he paced back and forth, pointed his finger at Qian Qianyi and others and cursed, "You can shout with your necks out for a trivial matter! Now at this critical moment, you are just trying to make a small profit." , I’m so angry that I’m blushing! Is this your way of loyalty to the emperor, the kindness and forgiveness that the saint taught you?”
These scolding words made everyone bow their heads and remain silent, but even so, they still had no intention of retreating.
"I dare to ask, who is it that proposed such a sacred object?"
Li Biao's heart was bright. He also understood the meaning of the emperor's words and stood up immediately.
"This man is incomparable to these Jinshi, Zhuangyuanlang!"
At this time, Chongzhen was extremely tired of these civil servants, and naturally spoke without any emotion, "He was originally a businessman farming in Hanjiazhuang, but he is not as good as these ministers who have read the books of sages!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately thought of the guy Cao Yu wanted to impeach. Could it really be him?
"In fact, not only these three crops, but also the original drawings of floor heating were contributed by him! Isn't such a spirit worthy of strong praise! Isn't it worthy of being an example to all ministers and workers!"
Chongzhen was so angry that he took another sip of tea and said coldly.
Only then did everyone finally understand that the emperor had laid so much groundwork before, mainly because he wanted to draw out that person.
"I believe that this move has contributed to the country and the country, and it should be greatly rewarded."
Xu Guangqi immediately understood the emperor's meaning and stood up without hesitation, "Only by doing this will people be loyal to the country in the future! Only then can the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty be guaranteed!"
"I don't think it's possible!"
Qian Qianyi immediately retorted, "These three crops were introduced from foreign countries. According to the ancestral system of our Ming Dynasty, that is absolutely forbidden! Such behavior that violates the ancestral system will definitely be punished by the emperor." It has attracted infamy! I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you must not!"
Wang Ruichang also hurriedly followed.
"Okay! Very good! Furu, a bunch of furu!"
Chongzhen was so angry that he laughed, immediately slapped the table, gritted his teeth and cursed, "Open your mouth to ancestral system, shut up to ancestral system! Am I really that kind of ignorant and ignorant king? If I am a ignorant king, then you are What! Are you all traitors?"
"What do you mean by violating the ancestral system! Introducing these things is violating the ancestral system? Do we have to watch the people in the world starve to death?"
Qian Qianyi's face turned pale and he was trembling all over.
You must know that he is quite knowledgeable in writing books and establishing his career. He has students all over the world and is a great Confucian of his generation.
Now that the emperor is pointing at his nose and scolding him, he naturally feels extremely unhappy.
"Your Majesty, as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, the main purpose is for Your Majesty to become a wise king! But I didn't expect that Your Majesty would listen to that monster's words. I don't want Your Majesty to become a shameless person in the world! Since I am unable to persuade Your Majesty, I can only Retire and resign!”
He trembled and knelt down, wanting to retreat in order to advance. After all, no matter what, he was a great scholar in the world, with disciples and former officials all over the country.
"I'm sure! You can go home and retire."
Unexpectedly, when Chongzhen heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
"My lord, I obey your order."
When Qian Qianyi heard this, he trembled with fright, stood up with a pale face, and left tremblingly.
Seeing this scene, the ministers were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the emperor would be so decisive without any hesitation at all.
The deputy minister of the cabinet said he should be dismissed and he was dismissed.
"Wang Ruichang."
Watching Qian Qianyi leave, Chongzhen turned his attention to another person, "What else do you want to say?"
"Chen, no more, no more..."
Wang Ruichang was frightened and replied quickly.
"Then Xu Guangqi, prepare to draft an edict! Confer Hu Yunqing the title of Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the title of Cavalry Commander."
Chongzhen said directly without thinking.
In fact, he wanted to grant it directly to a count, but thinking that the ministers would definitely object, he simply gave it to a viscount.
"Your Majesty, based on Hu Yunqing's contribution, he can solve the problem of feeding the people, so it is not too much to give him a count."
Xu Guangqi immediately said that he could see that this guy would definitely become famous, so it would be better to make friends with him directly.
"Having said that, according to the ancestral system, without any military merit, it's not good, it was sealed too quickly."
Chongzhen waved his hand, but he was a little worried. This cousin might not like it, so he might as well give it a try to avoid getting into trouble.
"I understand."
Xu Guangqi nodded and then returned to his position.
"Listen to me. From today on, I don't care who you are or what you have done before. As long as you can serve the country loyally, I will reward you without hesitation! But there is one thing. If anyone wants to follow Qian Qianyi, Cao Yan is like that! For the sake of his own interests, he abandons the country's important affairs and ignores them! Don't blame me for being too cruel!"
Chongzhen looked around at everyone, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Understood?"
"yes!"
Everyone felt chilled and knew that the emperor was not joking.
After everyone dispersed, Chongzhen found Wei Zhongxian.
"What else did that guy Cao Yu say?"
The emperor stared at the chief eunuch with a faint look.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's just those words over and over again, but it also involves the Chang family and the Bai family."
Wei Zhongxian felt uncomfortable all over because of the push, but he didn't dare to say anything.
