Chapter 955 Many concerns
It’s not that Jingyun Gong is cruel, but that he is really capable and cannot ask so many things. You must know that so many people have to take care of them, but he can’t even take care of them. Moreover, he keeps organizing the emperor’s funeral. All of these things cost money. The 100,000 taels of silver given by Liu Yuanqiao has been almost spent.
This made the funeral look a bit decent. If Liu Bu hadn't brought 5,000 taels of silver, and some officials had also sent some silver and tributes. He could not afford to make ends meet, and the money he had in hand could not pay for the funeral expenses.
Although Jingyun Gong also had some savings, mainly land, which was rewarded by Liu Yuanqiao, he was all at home, but he couldn't make it happen and could not get it here.
Now that the funeral is held for the emperor, the money is really not enough. Even the emperor's funeral is very low-level and indecent, so he can only turn a deaf ear to all of this and see it as if it is gone. He also has to take over the tomb of Concubine Tian, otherwise he will not be able to find a good tomb and let the emperor be buried.
King Jingyun was an official for many years, and his disciples and former officials were spread all over the court and the country. He thought that many disciples and former officials would come to help, but they did not.
And there are many like-minded friends who are like-minded, pointing out the country and commenting on current affairs, but now, these people have not responded to it. He could not have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would be so desolate when it perished, which made him sigh: "People's hearts are not old, and the world's winds are declining."
Thinking back to the glorious times of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen raised his arms and shouted: "The country has been raising scholars for 150 years, and sacrificed oneself for justice, today."
A weak scholar raised his arms and shouted, and the ministers dared to see the scenery, and responded one after another, fighting against the emperor's power, so that the emperor had to bow to his ancestors' family rules. But today, these ministers are really different. The country and the court have given them better and more preferential treatment, but the raised ones have become ungrateful. When the country is in trouble, they have been cleared away one after another, and even the emperor dies, they do not think about the incense.
However, many ordinary people came to worship with sacrifices after hearing about Emperor Chongzhen's death, regardless of the power of the Chinese army.
Sending this emperor for the last journey made Jingyun Gong feel a little relieved, that is, after all, there are still these people here and are willing to do these things for the court. If he set up such a water and land temple here and found such a decent funeral, but no one came to worship, it would be really embarrassing.
At this time, the royal family of Ming Dynasty was still in decline. King Jingyun served as an official in the court. He knew that the Ming Dynasty had experienced more than 270 years of development, and because of the system of feudal divisions in all dynasties, more than 70 princes were granted in more than 200 years, and these royal families also had their roots. Now there are as many as one million royals in the world.
Every year, the Ministry of Revenue must pay a lot of money and grain for this. As the salary of the royal family, the local economic pressure is also very great and very fatal. However, at this time, few people can hold a spiritual position for the emperor to die.
King Jingyun could also imagine that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the vassal kings and royal families attached to him became fat in the local area, and the Chinese army had no intention of letting go.
The Chinese army may have let go of some ordinary people and local gentry, but there is absolutely no reason to let go of these royal people. This is because they occupy the best area, the best houses, the best land, and a lot of money. These things are urgently needed by the Chinese army. The Chinese army will not attack ordinary people, but must attack these powerful people. Otherwise, how could they get enough food to maintain a huge military supply?
So let’s put it this way, the dragon, son, phoenix and grandchildren who were inherited by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, would have suffered when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
Over the past 200 years, they have plundered so much property and so much money and paste, and they have spit out one by one and returned it to the people. This can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people.
The irony is that these people get so much money, just wanting to make themselves live a better life, but in the end they become the rope to hang them.
Jingyun Gong saw the methods of the Chinese army that ordinary people could surrender, but the top-level powerful people like these would not even give you the chance to surrender.
Because they have too much property on them, this is called a man who is innocent and guilty of possessing a treasure. For other people, the Chinese army will surrender. Only such people will the Chinese army be unable to surrender.
For example, after entering the capital, the major clans were all eliminated by the Chinese army, which was a product of this policy.
The policy of killing all the royal family set by the Chinese army naturally increased the pursuit of these people, so no one dared to come out and put mourning on Emperor Chongzhen and gave the spirit to the clan. Because people with qualifications and blood relationships would almost be killed by the Chinese army, and only those who were irrelevant could do such things.
King Jingyun was just sighing, not knowing whether Emperor Chongzhen could enjoy the incense of the incense of those who had no blood relationship.
Since the Chinese Army entered the city, the Ming Dynasty court has begun to stop. Without the management of officials, it has become a mess. If it is not in the state of military control, it is not known what the chaos will be. However, the government has lost its role. The Chinese Army has just appeared and has not appointed relevant officials to carry out administrative management.
But now the structure of his power has been gradually sorted out. This is Liu Bu, who is naturally the highest power in the local area, followed by his officers and soldiers, who are maintaining his rule and authority.
But this is not a solution. The Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau saw this, so they forced the officials of the court to set up a temporary maintenance meeting to maintain local stability and transition.
The president of the Maintenance Association is naturally Zhang Zhifa, the former chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. Zhang Zhifa was elected by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the court. He was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet. It has its legitimacy and certain authority. The people all recognize such a person. Since this is the case, he will serve as the president of the temporary maintenance association and be responsible for temporary maintenance.
Of course, they are now maintaining the so-called imperial court, but they are just maintaining the capital. Outside the capital, they can no longer manage it, and they are all under the Chinese army. Liu Yuanqiao has appointed local officials one by one to let them take over local power and guard the local people.
The purpose and existence of the association were mainly for a peaceful handover. Of course, at this time, the Chinese army had already entered the city, and even if they did not, they had to hand over it, just to make everyone more decent.
So under the leadership of Zhang Zhifa, he took all civil and military officials to the Zhengyangmen Tower to meet Liu Bu, and asked him to come out of the mountain and sit in the palace to calm the hearts of the people in the world.
Liu Bu is now in Zhengyangmen Tower, managing this huge system. He silently stares at everything in front of him, everything is in the plan, accepting the rights here in an orderly manner, and then digesting the here.
He was not surprised that Zhang Zhifa led civil and military officials to Zhengyangmen and begged him to take over the East Palace and take charge of the world. This was originally planned by the Intelligence Bureau.
Without the coercion and inducement of the Intelligence Bureau, these people would not have cooperated with their work in this way. Of course, they would do this for the people of the world to see.
Nowadays, when the capital is in a mess, there is a desperate need for a strong man to stay here to stabilize the situation.
This is actually a very glorious and glorious thing. No rebel could resist it. He led his army to enter the palace and sat on the throne in a blatant position.
Liu Bu had also thought about this. He thought that after he took the capital, he would wear iron armor, take the generals around him and his army into the imperial city in a mighty way. Then, with thousands of troops cheering and supporting thousands of horses, he ascended to the Emperor's Hall and sat on the throne of the emperor. At this time, he faced south and looked down on the world, which was the peak of life.
But now he does not do this, because he is just the prince of the Chinese Army after all. The entire huge system of the Chinese Army is his father. If he does this, his father will definitely just smile. However, some ministers will say that he has surpassed it and that doing things he shouldn't have done will become his own stain.
Now the top nobles of the Liu family have become royal families. After they become royal families, everything has to be followed by rules and etiquette. Since ancient times, the Tian family has no selfless love. It is impossible for the emperor to have a simple father-son relationship. Since ancient times, the princes are not good. How many emperors kill the prince in order to ensure their rights?
So this is not a relationship between father and son, but a relationship in the officialdom. Liu Bu thought that his father in the past could indulge him in any way to make trouble, but now it is impossible. If he makes trouble, he will not be able to deal with him.
So after several thoughts, Liu Bu decided that his army would still be stationed in Zhengyang Gate, and would not enter the palace or sit on the throne, but would also wait here to assist his father Liu Yuanqiao to sit on the throne.
