Chapter 545: Resisting King Wu
"So, you don't have to doubt my sincerity, if you want this world, I will give it up!" Zhu Cihong looked sincere.
Wu Zheng hurriedly responded: "I believe it!" But rest assured, Your Highness, I have no such intentions. What worries me is that the Qingtai Dynasty was established at the beginning of the reign and could not control the land of the Ten Mansions, although His Royal Highness is the crown prince, once the yuan is changed, it will definitely touch the interests of countless people who have already ...... it. ”
"I guess it also includes Zhen Guogong himself, right?" Zhu Cihong asked very frankly, with a calm face, innocent like a little white rabbit.
"Uh...... Be. Wu Zheng was a little overwhelmed.
"Zhenguo Gong relaxes, Cihong will never touch anyone's interests, and the official position of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China will be as always!"
"Dare to ask Your Highness, what do you think of the first emperor's governance?" Wu Zheng chose to change the topic at the right time.
Zhu Cihong replied calmly: "The son does not say anything about the father. ”
Wu Zheng said: "Success or failure, free descendants comment, out of your mouth, into my ears, no third person knows." Your Highness said yes. ”
Zhu Cihong was silent for a while before he spoke: "I have been thinking about this matter for all the years I have been on the run. During his reign of 18 years, his father eradicated the eunuchs, was diligent in political affairs, practiced frugality, rehabilitated unjust prisoners, and worked hard to govern the country...... These are known to the world, but after all, the country still perished. Every time I think about it, I feel like a fish in my throat, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy. Today, the town of Guogong asked, then the right should be...... Let's gossip? ”
"It seems that His Highness has already learned something?"
"I don't dare to say what I know, it's nothing more than a ...... Just figure it out. ”
"Please give advice to Your Highness, Wu Zheng listens!"
Ci Hong thinks that as a monarch, there should be no right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, good and evil, black and white in his heart, but only reward and punishment based on merit and demerit, success or failure, and that's it. Does Zhenguo Gong think so? ”
Wu Zheng slowly savored Zhu Cihong's seventeen words, and the more he tasted them, the more meaningful he felt.
Emperor, if you become an athlete, how can you be a referee?
Reasonable! It's so reasonable.
So Wu Zheng said: "Your Highness is clever in this statement!" ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded: "Zhenguo Gong Hui is Lanxin, Cihong actually has the feeling of hating to see you late." ”
Wu Zheng's face turned red, and he squeaked: "Please continue to talk about it, Your Highness." ”
Zhu Cihong sighed lightly: "The state affairs are difficult, and my father was too impatient at that time...... Although the eunuch party is a disaster for the government and the opposition, it is undeniable that it is an indispensable pillar for balancing the court, and there are also people in the eunuch party who have failed to have a good conscience. The two were originally confrontational and balanced, and when it was difficult to solve, it had to be mediated and judged by the father, but once the eunuch party was overthrown, Qingliu occupied the entire court, and when the emperor was dominant, the father was unable to return to the sky, which was the biggest mistake of the father. ”
Wu Zheng was shocked!
This kind of interpretation of the Ming Dynasty's death is rarely heard, and this is also from the mouth of the prince of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which makes Wu Zheng feel like a world away.
But I have to say, after thinking about it, it really makes sense.
Emperor Chongzhen ended his brother and inherited the throne, his foundation was shallow, but as soon as he ascended the throne, he drastically eradicated the eunuch party, and overnight, the two opposing camps, one side collapsed, and the strategic balance was broken instantly, and the power gap caused by it was not filled by a suitable third party.
Qingliu took control of the entire court overnight, and this was a disaster.
Like refugees who have been poor for a long time, once they are rich, they don't even know where to spend their huge wealth.
Just like Li Zicheng's righteous army invaded Shuntianfu, he turned over and became the master, and the result was ...... Leave in ashes until you perish!
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future..
Zhu Sheng, a strategist beside Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, said it well, which can be described as a sentence, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king".
Although the meaning is slightly inconsistent, the reason is the same.
When it comes to big things, you have to think twice before acting.
Obviously, Zhu Youzhen is too anxious, and it is true that the eunuch party is in trouble, but before eradicating it, should we first cultivate a third-party force to replace the eunuch party to close the power gap left by the eunuch party after it is cleared?
In this way, Qingliu may not be out of control, above the court, the power is supervised and balanced by each other, and the emperor can still control the overall situation as a referee.
Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Zhu Sheng's opinion and sat firmly in the world.
And his descendant Zhu Youzhen forgot this wise saying.
Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Cihong stunned, could it be that the Zhu family was really transferred, and after three years of exile, there was finally a savior?
Wu Zheng was a little convinced.
The prince has the appearance of a bright monarch, and there is some truth in this sentence.
The emperor is ruthless, and this is by no means derogatory.
Only when the emperor is ruthless, can there be love in the world!
"Dare to ask Your Highness, in the current situation, if Your Highness ascends the throne, how should you deal with it?"
"The cross-strait truce has been achieved, and we should recuperate with the people, cultivate the rule of officials internally, connect the southern clan and the northwest righteous army, work together to become strong, and in the coming day, we will fight a decisive battle with the Qing court and compete in the Central Plains!"
"Your Highness has this understanding, and you can be the master!" Wu Zheng got up and bowed down, "Minister Wu Zheng, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Happiness comes so fast?
Rao is Zhu Cihong thinks that the city government is deep, and he can't help but get excited.
He got up and half-squatted in front of Wu Zheng, and said: "If you can win the support of the Zhenguo Gong, there is hope for the revitalization of Wuming!" Zhenguo Gong, please get up quickly. ”
However, at this time, the name of the monarch and the minister has been decided, and Wu Zheng naturally can no longer be presumptuous.
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set a date for his accession to the throne?"
"The first assistant has chosen an auspicious day, which is the beginning of Yin five days later."
Wu Zheng said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the prison country abdicates, and His Royal Highness should ascend the throne as soon as possible." Fortunately, five days is not too long...... Ministers agree! ”
Zhu Cihong said excitedly: "Many people say to Gu Jin, thinking that you have different intentions, but today Gu is aware that you are the most loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty...... Wu Zheng, once Lone ascends the throne, he will canonize you as the King of Wu, but whenever my dynasty recovers the rivers and mountains and returns to the northern capital one day, Lone will share the world with you and never break his word! ”
Wu Zheng lowered his head and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, it's just that King Wu is a prince, and the ministers don't dare to accept it, please ask Your Highness to take back your order." ”
The smile on Zhu Cihong's face was a little stiff, "Do you think that Wu Wangjue is not worthy of your monstrous achievements?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "Your Royal Highness has misunderstood, the land of Hangzhou, Songjiang and Jiaxing is already a special case, if the imperial court canonizes Wu Zheng as the king of Wu again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the people in the world and attract criticism." Your Highness, the great cause of recovery has just begun, and the reward for meritorious deeds will be left for the future! ”
Zhu Cihong's face slowly became more natural, "Zhen Guogong is really a person who knows what is at stake, but he has to do his best, right?" Otherwise, the court and the court still think that there is a gap between Lone and Zhenguogong, and things are not beautiful. ”
Wu Zheng replied: "The minister has a matter to ask His Highness, please allow His Highness." ”
Zhu Cihong was overjoyed and said: "Speak! There should be no one. ”
"Please order the pardon of Qian Sudian, and let the soldiers who follow the ministers in the capital this time be handed over to the ministers to bring back to Hangzhou Mansion. Although they say that they are disrespectful to His Highness, His Highness is His Highness, and His Majesty is His Majesty. ”
