"My dear friends, you can have solutions to the five difficulties that your dear friends have reported." Chongzhen asked on the dragon throne.

On the platform, the ministers looked at each other, but no one answered. Chongzhen was angry. When these people were fighting for fame and fortune, they were all willing to take responsibility, but when they were able to solve the problem, they hurried behind one by one, which was really shameless.

Just as he was about to answer by name, he saw a man stepping up and coming to the middle of the two court officials, saying, "I will report to Your Majesty. I think that the five things that the governor said are one thing in the end."

Chongzhen became interested and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It is the heart of the people when you go back to your Majesty."

"Oh? Why?"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, those who want to govern a country must first consolidate their family. Those who want to govern their family must first cultivate their body. Those who want to cultivate their body must first correct their hearts." The official shook his head, memorized the university, and then came to his own conclusion, "If a person's heart is not upright, the root of the matter is chaotic and the last rule is not ruled."

Chongzhen was a little impatient when he heard this, and then asked, "What do you think of me?"

"I think that if you want to correct your heart, you must be sincere first. Zengzi said: "What you see with ten eyes and point with ten hands is strict!" It is rich and moist, and the body is rich and fat. Therefore, a gentleman must be sincere in his intention..."

"Okay, okay, please step down!" Chongzhen is no longer Chongzhen when he ascended the throne. At that time, he had just registered and based on the principle that the Master's education was reasonable, he could be said to be strictly followed the words and actions of the saints. As a result, he did nothing, which caused public resentment to arouse people and the world. Now Chongzhen has become much more realistic. The five difficulties mentioned in practicing national affairs have nothing to do with the so-called righteousness. In the mouths of these people, the following people's hearts have become unrighteous.

"Wen Aiqing, how do you think you should respond to the five difficulties you said in practicing the state affairs?" Chongzhen suppressed his anger and remembered his confidant Wen Tiren.

Compared with the official just now, Wen Tiren's reply was much more realistic. "I think the court does not need to respond?"

"Oh? Why?" Wen Tiren's answer was much beyond Chongzhen's expectations.

"Report to the emperor, the five difficulties in practicing national affairs are not the right or wrong. Even if it is true, what kind of thought does he have to push the court at this time? If everything is needed for him to handle it, what is the use of asking him to practice national affairs in Shaanxi?"

Wen Tiren is worthy of being a cunning person. In a word, Chongzhen was "suddenly enlightened". That is, if everything is returned to the court, wouldn't the local officials be fine? Then what's the use of asking them, the local officials? It would be better to directly share the salary of the court with the suffering people.

However, despite thinking in his heart, Chongzhen was still a little uneasy, and then he said to Hou Xun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "Hou Aiqing, how much money does the Ministry of Revenue have?"

Hou Xun stepped out of the line and bowed and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue still has more than 380,000 taels of silver."

"How come there are so few?" Chongzhen said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the country is not clean now, and the internal and external military use is very expensive. Even if I have all kinds of skills and raising thousands of ways, I can't resist such a huge expense!" As he said that, Hou Xun knelt down.

Hou Xun is only forty-three years old this year, and is in his prime, but his hair is half white. Looking at him, Chongzhen thought of himself, this is an honest man who is loyal to the country, "Get up, don't blame you at this time."

As he said that, Chongzhen said, "Well, I will issue the national treasury for 200,000 taels, and the other treasury for 50,000 taels of silver, totaling 200,000 taels of silver to Shaanxi. I told my country to practice state affairs, and Shaanxi would handle the matters on Shaanxi by itself. The court forced out 200,000 taels of silver to Shaanxi, so that he could use it well, and suppress the rioters this morning."

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."

With the emperor's wise shout, this matter was considered a matter, but whether the Shaanxi Governor Lian State Affairs can use the nominal 200,000 taels, or the actual number may be less than 50,000 taels of silver in the future, it is unknown whether the rebellion in Shaanxi will be suppressed. Anyway, it is all a matter of later, and it has nothing to do with them, the officials in high positions.

"Your Majesty, I have a foundation." The Minister of War stood up, "Since this year, Henan has suffered a severe drought, and most of the bandits in Shaanxi fled from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and then fled to Henan. Especially after the giant bandit Li Zicheng was defeated in Kaifeng this year, the bandits gathered 250,000 troops to move south, and now most of them gather in Xuchang.

The Ministry of War plans to mobilize a total of 120,000 troops including Wang Pu, the general of Beijing camp, Zuo Liangyu, the general of Henan, Cao Wenzhao, the general of Shanxi, Tang Jiuzhou, and the local army in Henan to siege the bandits in Xuchang. I beg your Majesty to approve it."

"Okay, I'm sure." Chongzhen finally began to get excited. If the thieves could be wiped out in Henan and Henan this time, the world might be quiet again, and the situation of Zhongxing Ming might be realized again. "The Ministry of Revenue cooperates with the Ministry of War to complete this encirclement and suppression, and there must be no mistakes."

Although the Minister of War did not mention it, Chongzhen took the initiative to add this one, which was also the most critical truth that Chongzhen learned after being the emperor for six years. That is, no matter what he did, he needed to use silver. It would not work if he had no silver. Unfortunately, he was a little slow to understand.

Feng Kebin is now running away, running away in a mess, and dare not stop at all. After a fight, only 5,000 remaining troops, who were still alive, were only three thousand people left. These troops are also running closely with Feng Kebin. Sweat soaked their worn clothes, heavy breathing sounds, and legs that seemed to be filled with lead were consuming the will of these soldiers all the time.

Despite this, these soldiers did not complain at all. To be precise, they did not dare to have any complaints, because all the weak people who could not keep up with the team had already gone to the underworld to reunite with their ancestors and parents. The lessons of the latter, whenever they thought of the robes that were alive in the past, were killed by their side, their tired bodies often had a little strength to support them to continue moving forward.

"Stop!" Feng Kebin, who was running in the front, suddenly raised his right hand and stopped. After seeing Feng Kebin's actions, the remaining troops behind him immediately hid on the spot almost out of instinct. In the blink of an eye, a whole army that was running away disappeared into the vast forest.

At this time, Feng Kebin had successfully used the prisoners to break through a gap in the encirclement of officers and soldiers. Now Feng Kebin's goal is to take advantage of the glimmer of vitality that he had finally broken down and lead the remaining brothers to escape from the sky.

Feng Kebin pointed to Tang Shaoyao beside him, who tiptoed and walked behind Feng Kebin. Feng Kebin attached himself to his ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "The terrain of the canyon ahead is dangerous, but it is the only way for us to escape from this place. Take a few people to touch it and see if there are any officers and soldiers guarding it."

Tang Shaoyao nodded and slowly retreated. Soon, four or five soldiers quietly touched them from the hidden place of the army and quietly touched them along the dense woods on both sides.

It was quiet in the canyon, and there was no figure. Tang Shaoyao searched the canyon for a long time and found nothing. "General, there is no one in the canyon."

Tang Shaoyao leaned on a mountain wall next to him, holding a weed that broke from somewhere in his mouth, staring at a cliff with his eyes blank, and said to himself: "No one? Why can't there be no one? If I remember well, this direction should be Zuo Liangyu's thief's defense zone. Zuo Liangyu is greedy, but he is still very good at fighting. He cannot make such a low-level mistake. Where will it be?"

"General, General." Seeing that Tang Shaoyao was stunned, the soldiers around him couldn't help calling him, "Do you send a signal to General Feng?"

"No." Tang Shaoyao spat, spit out the grass stems in his mouth, and stopped him, "Let's go outside the valley to look for it."

"General, how could anyone station a large army outside the valley? Wouldn't this have no effect, or..."

"Go out of the valley to look for it." Tang Shaoyao repeated, then walked straight towards the valley without looking back.

Sure enough, Tang Shaoyao was right. As soon as the few people walked out of the valley, they saw a group of birds flying up from a forest.

"If the birds don't fall into the forest, they must be deceitful." Tang Shaoyao was cautious at that time and slowly moved over little by little.
