The common people were worried for a long time, and suddenly, Duoduo stopped coming to Shaoxing, and more than 30,000 rebels disappeared.

For the people, this is like a dream, real and illusory.

But no matter what, Shaoxing Mansion came back to life.

The people who closed their doors began to go out, the closed doors and windows were reopened, and the women and children who had escaped from Shaoxing Mansion also began to return.

It's just that the atmosphere is still not so enthusiastic, and everyone still has lingering palpitations.

Also, after such a fright, the soul has not returned, and with the worry about the future, who can be happy all of a sudden.

However, Wu Zheng's invincible reputation has once again spread among the people, and so many people are rumoring that Wu Zheng is the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing and the gods, otherwise, how could the Tartars let go of the Shaoxing Mansion at their fingertips and escape?

This statement was accepted by the vast majority of the people, who further shaped Wu Zheng into the reincarnation of the god of war.

Just think, if it weren't for the God of War, how could Fang Guoan's more than 30,000 troops collapse without a fight?

Wu Zheng didn't know that he had been deified by the people, and he was so busy.

In addition to the troops deployed along the river, the 10,000 troops he brought with Shaoxing Mansion and the thousands of people who deserted had also returned to Shaoxing Mansion at this time.

They pleaded to return to the Ming army sequence.

For Wu Zheng, the more troops in his hands, the better, but the problem is that with more than 20,000 troops, Shaoxing Mansion simply cannot afford such a huge army, even if Hangzhou Mansion is added, it is impossible.

The Hangzhou government is already stretched, and there are already 60,000 or 70,000 troops, plus these, which is 100,000 people.

After all, silver does not fall from the sky, one tael per person, and one hundred thousand taels in a month.

It's a bottomless pit.

But if they are rejected, the consequence will be that the entire Shaoxing Mansion will be in chaos.

Who knows what these ruffians will do?

When Zhang Huangyan rushed to Shaoxing Mansion and saw Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng was worried with a bitter face.

is different from imagination, the two of them nodded a little more to each other when they met, which is completely different from imagination, the two don't even have the etiquette they should have, and they directly began to discuss what to do next.

That night, Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan gathered Li Ruhai, Zhou Dahu, Shen Zhiyuan, Chen Sheng, and several officials left behind by the Shaoxing Mansion to meet temporarily to discuss how to deal with this chaos and how to deal with the aftermath.

This time, Wu Zheng officially and openly put forward the proposal of changing the prison state and supporting the Changping princess Zhu Yujiao to supervise the country.

It is conceivable that at this time, Wu Zheng's words are already true, who will oppose it, and who will dare to oppose it?

Of course, except that Zhang Huangyan has this qualification and courage.

But will Zhang Huangyan object?

Naturally not, if he would object, he would have followed Zhu Yihai to the sea with Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule.

It was almost fully passed, and the new prison state was established, a new imperial court was formed, and Hangzhou and Jiaxing were included in the jurisdiction of Shaoxing Prefecture.

In this way, the forces of the three governments were gathered and the three armies were reorganized.

Everyone was very excited, for the first time since Shaoxing Mansion was promoted to the capital of the prison state, it had such a large territory, such a large army and strength.

But here's the problem.

When Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan met with Zhu Yujiao and told the court decision, Zhu Yujiao refused.

She insisted that she was a woman and could not be imprisoned.

This is a big problem, unless Wu Zheng erects a flag and stands on his own, he will not be able to avoid the step of pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner.

Without the right royal family as the banner to command the world, there can be no righteousness.

At this time, if Wu Zheng really stood on his own, then the reputation he had saved so hard would be in vain.

The world will accuse Wu Zheng of being a powerful minister and a thief of the country.

Once this reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to reverse it.

Eastern Zhejiang is different from Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang, and the people's hearts in Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang have been shattered by Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng's Daxi and Dashun armies, and the people don't need to say that they support the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for this has to start with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu is a person with a cold nature, whether it is to his subjects, old friends, or even his wife and concubine, he is relatively unkind, only for his children and grandchildren, it is called a gentle and considerate, kind and warm.

In order to ensure that his children and grandchildren can enjoy the glory and wealth, Lao Zhu racked his brains.

After the founding of the country, Lao Zhu was not in a hurry to reward meritorious ministers, and he couldn't wait to canonize all his sons as princes, when his youngest son was still in infancy and less than a year old.

He issued an edict clearly stipulating that the descendants of the royal family are not bound by the law and are not under the control of the local government.

The salary of Ming officials can be said to be the lowest standard since the beginning.

But Lao Zhu's annual allowance for his children and grandchildren is only afraid that it is not enough.

A prince's annual salary alone is 10,000 stones, which is seven times the highest salary of the court's important ministers, not including a large area of land and various seasonal and festival rewards.

That's not all, Lao Zhu also stipulated that as long as it is a royal family, it must be supported by the imperial court.

After birth, since the age of ten, he began to receive money from the imperial court, and adults, marriages, and children can receive expenses such as mansions, crowns, and clothes from the imperial court.

Lao Zhu's meticulous care can be said to be unprecedented, and there is no one in the future.

The world sighed at this, "I think of kissing and kissing, it can be said that I use everything, and its thickness is far greater than that of previous generations." ”

In fact, Lao Zhu's idea is right, he is the 10,000-year-old inheritance of the country.

He was born in poverty, and the idea of a small peasant was deep-rooted, and he thought that he could reproduce the descendants of the Zhu family and consolidate the country through blood.

But he never thought that the first person to destroy his fantasy was his son Zhu Di, in the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di robbed his nephew's country.

Of course, this can be said to be an accident, and it is not enough to completely subvert Lao Zhu's original intention.

But because of this, Zhu Di, who is a witness, is naturally very wary of the royal family, he can do it, and other princes can do it.

As a result, since Zhu Di, the control of the Zhu Emperor over the vassal kings has also reached a jaw-dropping and unbelievable level.

In order to prevent the vassal kings from colluding with local forces to cause chaos, the vassal kings could only live in the palace for the rest of their lives, and even if they just wanted to go out for a walk, they had to send people all the way to the capital to ask the emperor for instructions and applications.

If the emperor is in a bad mood, or if he gets up early and the wind does not disperse, then even if the vassal king wants to sweep the tomb of his dead father in Qingming, it is impossible.

In order to strictly prevent the opportunity for the vassal kings to connect with each other, the emperor clearly stipulated that the princes were not allowed to meet each other for the rest of their lives, which is also the origin of the famous saying "two kings do not see each other".

It is precisely because of this strange regulation that the royal family has used other brains.
