From the winter to the twelfth lunar month, the passion in the hearts of the people in the capital finally calmed down, and everything seemed to have returned to the peace of the past. The triumphant army from Liaodong had begun to return to the place one after another, preparing to rest for a year and then return to the country under the emperor's order.
The general started a new round of troubles. However, these soldiers were not moral at all. When they left, they took nothing with them except military supplies and a few medals obtained from the emperor. The common people were so angry that they pointed at those places.
The materials piled up like a hill were scolded by them as being unreasonable, and the government officials responsible for maintaining public security in the capital also scolded them, "Where do you want us to return so many nameless things?" In the end, it was Chongzhen's fool who came up with a bad idea. Since there was no
Fa Huan might as well use these to hold a bigger New Year's Eve dinner in the capital. No matter who he is, anyone in the capital can enjoy it from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, except of course the group of monkeys in the cage.
Except for the Tatars! The direct consequence of this order is that there are already people in Guangdong driving to the capital day and night on a thousand-mile horse, just to have a meal with the emperor. Novel chapter
However, not everyone can enjoy the emperor's favor. For example, he successfully framed Mao Wenlong as the first chief of general staff of the Ming Dynasty, but he was also unlucky to be Sun Chengzong, who had the title of left governor. He had to rush to Shaanxi years ago to take advantage of Mao Yuanyi's
The Sixth Army was the backbone, and it took five years to form a Western Front Corps with a strength of about 600,000.
Of course, there are people who are even more unlucky than Sun Chengzong. Qin Liangyu, who was walking in Liaodong and was so cold that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, is one of them. The emperor was probably taking revenge on the old woman for not giving him face and not coming back to attend the prisoner presentation ceremony, so he ordered her not to return to Beijing.
He directly took the name of the right governor and took those Sichuan boys back to Sichuan, giving me three years to recruit the Southern Group Army! What is even more infuriating is that the foolish king did not even spare his daughter-in-law.
Zhang Fengyi, the daughter of former Liaodong Inspector Zhang Quan, was also labeled as a chief soldier and thrown into the army. Chapter of the novel
But in any case, Sun Chengzong and other generals were promoted, and the soldiers also received double pay. Even Zhu Yousong, the prince of Dechang County who was eating melon seeds in Shanhaiguan, also received a commendation. Only the one who had been cheated out by the emperor
The general Zhenguo, who had learned a lot, not only did not get any benefits, but was extorted from a large sum of silver. This made the Ming officials who had been bullied by him really happy!
"Brother Cong, you should be happy and don't keep such a sullen face!" In the small courtyard of Prince Fu's Mansion in the capital, Chongzhen was educating people while continuing to occupy the rocking chair Zhu Youcong had just bought. "The people were all joking and laughing.
Ten years later, if you are always like this, I am really afraid that you will grow old before you get old!"
"Sun Qifeng, what are you doing?" I didn't cry to you on the spot. Even if it's okay, I'm still laughing. You, an emperor, just came to my house to have a meal, and you actually brought a lot of bandits with you? Sharp eyes.
Zhu Youcong just discovered that the big box he brought back from Liaodong was opened without a key.
"I heard from Mr. Li that the general got a lot of books from the Tatar military advisor this time. To prevent the general from going astray, I will think about it for you..." Are you a scholar? You don't have to have other abilities, but if you can't even read them randomly,
He would definitely be despised by others. Sun Qifeng was not only a scholar but also a master of Neo-Confucianism. If anyone else heard this, he would definitely faint with joy.
"Let's go and have fun. You can just keep an eye on your students and take care of your students. If you don't have anything else to do, what are these policies for governing the country?" There is a lot of dross in the box that I haven't had time to sort out. In case this uncle takes it and declares it as written.
Class, it would be strange if Zhu Youcong didn't go crazy.
"The general's words are wrong! "The Book of Rites" says that the ancients say that those who are enlightened and virtuous in the world should rule their country first..." Damn fat man, you actually dare to look down on us scholars. If you don't know what the saint's words are now,
Seriously, then I have been living in poverty for decades. "People of our generation should take it as our own responsibility to govern the country and bring peace to the world. How can we be that rotten scholar who only knows the classics but does not understand the world's principles?"
"Brother Zhong Yuan's words are very kind!" The uncle who just secretly opened the box also spoke to help: "Since we have been taught a new lesson by the emperor's order, how can the general hide his secrets again?"
Are you bullying me, an honest person, because of the large number of you people? Zhu Youcong's true nature will be exposed, and he threatened: "Wang Liangfu, why are you joining in the fun? Be careful, I will throw you to Jacob Luo and others to read the Bible. Don't even think about it in this life."
Enter the institute!"
"Okay, Cong brother, please stop scaring them! These are all the talents I have managed to collect. They can watch it if they want!" Chongzhen continued to lie on the rocking chair without any image, and said to the group of cultural people brought in by Li Guopu
The man ordered: "You carry the box into the palace first, and I will slowly choose together after two days!"
"I obey the order!" After receiving the emperor's order, the ministers rushed out. Before leaving, Sun Qifeng did not forget to turn around and give Zhu Youcong a blank look. He recited the Three-Character Sutra. "Four years old, can make pear
!”
"Brother Cong, Brother Cong! Don't be the same as them!" Chongzhen grabbed the little fat man who was about to rush out of the room and used violent means to keep people behind. "These are the learned men you recommended," he said.
His temper is a bit weird."
"They have weird tempers, and you, as the emperor, don't care about them?" Remember these damn bandits! Especially Sun Qifeng, who dared to rob me and still ridiculed me, I will definitely let you know about the general of Zhenguo.
What methods are available!
"Okay, okay! Stop complaining!" Chongzhen, who was in trouble, quickly changed the subject and said, "This time you have made such a great contribution, but you have to refuse a reward because of your brother. Isn't it too aggrieved?"
"Grieved? What do I have to be aggrieved about?" A bell rang in Zhu Youcong's heart. Hasn't this matter been explained clearly? Now that he brought it up again, could it be that this cheating emperor wants to get some benefits from me?
Already?
"Think about it, there is no need to mention that the soldiers who recovered Liaodong this time were promoted to positions and titles. Even the people of the Ming Dynasty suffered a loss! But you, the general who led the army, have gained nothing. Those who know understand that this is you
I'm indifferent to fame and fortune, but those who don't know it think I'm unkind..." Chongzhen first talked about a lot of truths, and then presented a huge temptation and said: "I know you don't want to sit in this position, but I want to seal you.
Wei Wang, what name do you like?"
Confessing the king? I have already put in enough effort to return the army to the country this time. Why don't you give me a throne when I have been full all day and have nothing to do? Zhu Youcong grabbed an apple and stuffed it into Chongzhen's hand and said: "
Brother Emperor, please stop fussing. What kind of king is this and that I, the general who governs the country, has a great reputation? If you are really bored and want to be canonized, don’t we still have so many relatives? Just pick out one of them!"
"Who do you think this prince is?" Why is this damn fat man so clueless? Chongzhen continued with unyielding intent: "Since you like the name of this general, why don't I give you the title first?"
What is the title of the Grand Marshal of the World’s Armed Forces?"
"Come on, Brother Emperor, just tell me what you have to say! First of all, I want to state that all the money I got in Liaodong this time was taken away by you. I will definitely not have it if I ask for it again!" All the generals of the world's soldiers and horses threw it out.
Okay. It seems that the emperor has prepared a big trap for me!
"Is this the kind of person that I am?" Chongzhen, who had been wronged, looked unhappy and pointed at Zhu Youcong and said: "Isn't this for your own good, brother? Seeing that you are almost eighteen, it's time to start a family, old man.
Are you holding a low-level title so that you are not afraid that Sister Baozhu and the others will be wronged?"
"Don't say yes? Then I'll really go back to Luoyang to get married in two days. Don't bother me for two months!" If you don't fall for it, I won't be fooled at all! The reputation given by the emperor's brother who cheated me is getting better and better.
Big means I have to pay more!
"Don't go! Don't go! As a brother, why don't you say it's not okay?" This damn fat man is a thief. No wonder his subordinates call him a little monster. Chongzhen pulled Zhu Youcong and said embarrassedly: "Actually, this
It really has something to do with money..."
"No!" Zhu Youcong flatly refused: "You, a majestic emperor, ask me for money when you have nothing to do, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed if you tell me?"
"As a brother, isn't this helpless?" Chongzhen said with a bitter look on his face, "You also said that people are poor and have short ambitions. If the treasury and internal funds can make money, I won't have to bother.
you?"
"Stop pretending, the batch of Liaodong Tibetan silver that was just shipped back is worth tens of millions! Where did you get it?" You really think I'm being taken advantage of. I just gave you so much.
Are you going to reach out again soon?
"Eat!" Chongzhen was very straightforward, and the answer he gave was enough to frighten Zhu Youcong so much that he fell down.
"What?" Is this the emperor or a termite? He actually ate so much money, but he didn't grow any more flesh.
"Hey...it's hard to be a brother!" Chongzhen began to describe the hardships in detail. Although the Ming Dynasty had a general who was slowly changing the fate of the empire, the emperor worked day and night for the sake of the people of the world.
But God seemed to deliberately torture these two young men. The third year of Chongzhen's reign began with the earthquake in Xiaoheying, Pingwu, Sichuan. As the main producing area of grain, the Jiangnan region had not even rained in spring and summer. How could the people?
It was easy to survive, but a large-scale locust plague broke out during the autumn harvest. The scholars did not expect this situation when they transferred more than one million stones of grain. Unprepared, they could only ask the court for help.
"Shameless! Scum! Are they really not afraid of death?" Jiangnan is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The people of Jiangnan are the people of the Ming Dynasty. It is natural for the emperor to provide relief to them when they suffer disasters, but what makes Zhu Youcong dare to be angry is now
The price of food! Rice that originally cost one tael of silver and two shi for one shi has risen to one tael and five taels of silver for one shi due to the imperial court’s purchase. And this has to be the price of aged rice!
"Afraid of death?" Chongzhen said with a bitter smile: "Brothers, I think they are even more afraid of poverty! Who knew this time that the imperial court had harvested tens of millions of taels of silver in Liaodong? They did not dare to engage in blatant corruption, but they took advantage of natural disasters to instruct their subordinates.
Control food prices..."
"Okay! Leave this matter to me. I immediately ordered the transfer of silver from Luoyang to the south! Brother Huang first sent out capable officials to handle the disaster relief. Don't let them take advantage of it again..." was given
It's definitely not Zhu Youcong who doesn't fight back after being robbed. "As for me, I will prepare a generous gift for them to express my gratitude!"
I want to kill people, my brother Cong is angry! Not only did Chongzhen not feel scared, but he asked excitedly: "Brother Cong wants to mobilize the army to go south?"
"Why mobilize the army?" It doesn't cost money to send out the army? Zhu Youcong is going to collect interest. If the investment is too big, it will not be worthwhile. I saw a familiar smile on his face again and said to Chongzhen
Said: "I will ask someone to inform Tao Shangshu and ask him to prepare to go to Liaodong to spend a few months with Li Zicheng's demolition team!"
"Tao Qianzhi from the Ministry of Revenue?" Didn't that guy do a good job as an undercover agent? Why did he suddenly throw him so far away? Chongzhen asked curiously: "Brother Cong, what are you going to do?"
"Master Li, didn't they just carry the box back to the palace? Wait for two days and I will help you choose one from it. Brother, you will know what to do!" After learning about Han Xu's experience, Zhu You
Cong originally didn't want to use this trick, but who knew that the Jiangnan scholars were still so ignorant. Then close the network and end their happy MLM life, and let them face the destruction of their families and their families!
