Chapter 068

It was still in the warm pavilion of Jiying Palace. Zhao Xing gave a regular ceremony and Chongzhen said lightly: "Get up."

As a minister, I don’t have the kind of bowing in TV series. The Ming Dynasty has no rules yet, so I can’t just kowtow and say nothing.

After receiving Chongzhen's exemption, Zhao Xing stood up. Of course, the small thousand households had not been given the honor of sitting.

"You did a good job." Chongzhen's light comment was enough to make Zhao Xing feel that he had been recognized by Chongzhen, which would be beneficial to his future development.

After pretending to be in a state of fear and humility, listen to the Hadith.

The Jinyiwei not only solved the shocking case reported by Zhao Xing and Luo Yangxing, but also paid the millions of censored to the treasury. Chongzhen was still in a very happy mood. He held a teacup and said to Zhao Xing, "I am pleased that I can solve this shocking case. I have already rewarded all the rewards. But in principle, the case of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion in the capital and the case of the Duke's Mansion in the Fire of the Kingdom has not yet ended. What do you think?"

Zhao Xing had the urge to strangle him to death. He had rewarded all the rewards, and what you said was simply shameless. Besides, the case of Aries Temple was reported, but in fact, the case of burning the Duke's Mansion was solved. What else should I say?

Oh, by the way, saying that you didn't give the Duke, is actually giving the Duke a certain explanation to the Duke Group. After all, in order to get back the glorious rights that were originally robbed, they still took this matter and tangled with the Donglin Party members who suppressed the Duke Group.

This is about Chongzhen's face, and Chongzhen cares about face the most, so Li Zicheng's army was overwhelmed and the capital was in trouble, so he was still embarrassed to say that he fled to the complete Nanjing, which was fled to the south. As a result, after his repeated hints, the ministers knew that his character was determined not to say it, and eventually he hanged Meishan.

At this time, his personality began to show that Chongzhen, as an intermediary, needed to give an explanation to the Xungui Group. But this explanation was definitely not himself. If that were the case, then he could not explain to Donglin. Someone would need to take the blame for such unpleasant things on both sides.

However, he was whispering in his heart. Zhao Xing could only shut up when he said the emperor. His little fifth-rank official didn't have the ability to take the emperor's jar.

Seeing that Zhao Xing was just looking down and not responding, Chongzhen, who had always been serious, continued to say to him seriously: "The matter must be black and white, and there must be a decision. How can we just go through this confusedly? The case of the Duke's Mansion has not been solved yet, but even if the case of the White Lotus Sect is not imposed, it cannot be considered to be solved."

Zhao Xing had to sigh in his heart, "The superiors not only need strict supervision, but also need flexibility. How can you be a good superior?" But when you look at the young emperor, thinking about his eager determination to work hard to govern, you will feel relieved.

After drinking another sip of tea and moistening his throat, Chongzhen continued to say heavierly: "White Lotus Sect can gather so much gold, silver and jewelry under such a short situation, and so many dead soldiers. What is the method? And the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what is even more terrifying is that the cabinet minister Li Hongtu, who all told them to help them. So, how many officials in the court have they controlled to serve them? How terrible is this? What method did they use to actually control my ministers of the Ming Dynasty for his use? This is all about to investigate. If I don't figure it out for a day, I am really like a hint of being in my back."

Yes, the methods of the White Lotus Sect are so terrifying. This time, they really scared Chongzhen. Looking at Chongzhen who became more and more excited as he spoke, Zhao Xing quickly initiated the remarks: "I have found out that the White Lotus Sect's way of controlling officials and gentry to plunder money."

"What's the solution?"

"Pill, a pill containing poppy."

As soon as the pill was mentioned, Chongzhen immediately became alert. The case of Daming Red Pill is a major case. Chongzhen had a psychological shadow on this point.

"What is poppy, how do they make pills to control others to make money?"

Zhao Xing reported: "Poppy, here we are medicinal materials, not only planted by ourselves, but also imported from abroad."

"It's the medicinal material--" Chongzhen's nerves relaxed a little.

Zhao Xing quickly said: "But, poppy is a medicinal material. As long as it is slightly refined, it is poison. The White Lotus Sect mastered this refining technology, controlled the officials and gentry, and accumulated money. According to the statistics of the ministers, the at least 600,000 to 700,000 yuan of the stolen stolen goods captured this time were obtained through this pill. In other words, the White Lotus Sect used poppy refining technology in the capital, and sold more than 30,000 yuan per 20 taels of silver. It was also controlled by this poppy pill.

The gentry officials and the people. In the battle of Aries, it was because they took their pills, which made more than one hundred ordinary people their dead soldiers, and officials including the cabinet obstructed us from handling the case. If one day, poppy will flood, not only will the people break their homes and eat them, but at that time, not only will the state have no tax revenue and the national treasury be exhausted, but the people's minds and bodies will be eliminated, so that the country will have no available soldiers, but also let those who master the technology accumulate countless money and control countless dead soldiers. At that time, it will be a danger of the destruction of the country."

Hearing that this was not sensational, Chongzhen stood up in surprise and asked in disbelief: "It's really like this?"

Zhao Xing affirmed deeply: "It's not just a false statement. In fact, things will develop more seriously than this." So he described the madness of the dead soldiers fighting in Aries View Square at that time and Qian Guangsheng's tragic situation. At that time, Chongzhen's face was pale and his hands began to tremble slightly.

"No wonder many officials in Beijing have taken leave and refused to pay tribute in the past three days. The feelings are like this pill addiction. If they always do this, then I, Daming, will not have any officials available, and Daming will be paralyzed."

Zhao Xing struck while the iron was hot: "Poppy is a medicinal material, but other medicinal materials can also be replaced, but no one can solve the poison. Therefore, I ask the Emperor of the Sage to issue an order to establish a smoking ban department in the Jinyiwei to ban poppy from all over the world to prevent harm from the past generations."

Chongzhen thought deeply, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Xing, you have proposed well. I will issue an order tomorrow to establish a tobacco ban department in the Jinyiwei to strictly investigate poppy. Once there are trafficking abroad and some domestically grown ones, once they are seized, they will be punished strictly."

In fact, in real history, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was the first person to propose a smoking ban in the officialdom in China's history. His original intention was to prevent the "destroy the country". The smoking ban order was very strict, and "the orders forbidden private traffickers until death."

However, in history, the Chongzhen banned smoking and tobacco, which is tobacco, but this time, the real drug poppy was banned. This is the change of history by Zhao Xing, a prophet.
