Jiannu was destroyed, the four seas were leveled, the guests from all directions were served, and all countries came to court. Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was very satisfied, and he had only been on the throne for more than ten years, and he had reached Yue Wumu's dream of "cleaning up the old mountains and rivers", and now the border armies were advancing outward, striving to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is the Ming Royal Navy, which has also set off for the Americas, to find the remnants of the legendary Yin Shang who wandered overseas, and prepare to let them return to China.

As for the country, several high-yield crops have been planted, and the common people no longer have to worry about not being able to eat, and even good grain has been fed to pigs because of too much production. Today's Ming Dynasty has completely reproduced the grand scene of "public and private warehouses are abundant" in the Tang Dynasty.

When the emperor does Chongzhen like this, he basically doesn't have to pursue anything anymore, and his martial arts can be called Yuanmai Han and Tang Dynasties. Therefore, Emperor Shang Chongzhen also decided to have fun on the Beihai Lake in the capital, and called several famous juggling troupes in the capital to perform for himself and the queen and others to enjoy.

I saw that the juggling team in front of me did their best, such as breathing fire in their mouths, swallowing swords in their mouths, and all kinds of performances, each of which was good at winning. In the night sky in the distance, fireworks bloomed, congratulating himself as a son of heaven, what was there to be dissatisfied with?

Just as Chongzhen and the queen were watching the performance in front of them wholeheartedly, it was a sudden change.

In the juggling team in front, someone suddenly pulled out a hidden sword and rushed straight to Chongzhen, shouting: "Dog Emperor, take your life!" ”

Chongzhen was startled, and hurriedly followed the queen to retreat quickly, and Fang Zhenghua on the side of the attendant hurriedly stepped forward to stop the assassin.

At this time, the Jinyi guards who were on guard in the distance also found out that something was wrong, and they all pulled out embroidered spring knives and rushed over to escort them, but they didn't expect to be stopped by a group of people who suddenly rushed out, and the two sides of the people and horses fought in front of Chongzhen's eyes.

Enraged, Chongzhen shouted at the assassins in front of him, who were killing and retreating, "Who are you waiting for?" Aren't you afraid of punishing the Nine Clans?! ”

The assassin at the head was a man in hard clothes, about twenty years old, but he snorted and said angrily: "Nine clans?!" Lao Tzu's Nine Clans have long been killed by your dog emperor! Do you still remember the Zhou family and the Hou family who were punished by you twelve years ago? Today I will avenge this uncommon vengeance! "The more brave the assassin became, he actually killed Fang Zheng on the spot.

Because Chongzhen only had Fangzhenghua's guards around him, and those who were close were pulled by others, there was no way to resist the assassin for a while, Chongzhen had to watch the sword in the assassin's hand stab into his heart, only to be shocked Chongzhen shouted, "Ah! ”

Chongzhen, who woke up suddenly, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, but found that it was just a big dream, but in fact, the scene was very close to Fang Shiyu, a movie he had seen in his previous life. I think about it day by day and dream at night.

The queen, who was awakened by Chongzhen's shouting, hurriedly got up and put the quilt on Chongzhen, for fear that Chongzhen would catch a cold.

Fang Zhenghua and the captains of the Jinyi Guard, who were on duty outside the door, also hurriedly pushed the door in, and the blades in their hands had already been withdrawn, ready to fight. It's just that seeing that Chongzhen has already put on his small clothes and gone to the ground, and there are no assassins in the palace, everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The ministers are guilty, disturb Your Majesty, and the ministers will die!" ”

Chongzhen, who was awakened by the nightmare, said angrily: "Zhao Jinyi Wei Xu Xianchun, Dongchang Governor Cao Huachun, Xichang Governor Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Celebrant Seal, have come to see me!" ”

When a few people hurried to Chongzhen's dormitory, Chongzhen had already changed his clothes and was drinking tea, but the anger on his face couldn't be hidden.

As the most trusted Wang Chengen, he had the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids came late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

Chongzhen summoned these people to come, and he wanted to directly cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and directly get rid of the older ones who were amnesty today, but when the words came to his lips, after all, it was the mentality of ordinary people in later generations who prevailed, but he couldn't say it.

Sighing, Chongzhen said, "I just had a nightmare. In the dream, the children who were pardoned today came to assassinate Yu Zhen when they grew up.

I summoned you to come so that you could cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. It's just that I can't be ruthless after all. That's it, just wait, and that's it. ”

Several people glanced at each other, but they didn't leave. Wei Zhongxian took half a step forward, bowed down and said, "Emperor, but you should really cut the grass and eradicate the roots." The eldest of those children was ten years old, and when they grew up, they would remember the events of the day. If he is grateful and falls, if his heart is not right, he is afraid, and he will really be like in His Majesty's dream. ”

Chongzhen said: "That's it, after all, it's some children, what if you kill them?" Forgive them, and they don't have the ability to assassinate me. ”

Xu Xianchun also said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that he can't stay." Since Your Majesty is merciful and does not want to kill more, you might as well send those women and children aged five and above to the criminal prison camp of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang, and order them to serve in the army to atone for their sins.

As for the younger ones, they can be trained by the factory guards. Since children under the age of five have no memory, as long as they can survive, they are the most loyal swords among the factory guards. Originally, the factory guard was going to replenish a batch of children this year, but now they are just stuffing it in. ”

Wang Chengen also said: "Your Majesty, the old slave also thinks that what Lord Xu said is very true. After all, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and winds. Since His Majesty is merciful and wants to give them a way to live, then it is better to do what Lord Xu said, which is also a solution. ”

Chongzhen was entangled. What will the 10-year-old children of the next generation understand? Family feud? At a playful age, can children remember? Just thinking about it, people in this Ming Dynasty are generally precocious, even those who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen are everywhere. What if someone does come to assassinate you in the future?

In the end, after all, it was the idea of the immortal poor Dao of the dead Dao friends who prevailed, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: That's it. Just according to what Xu Aiqing said. Wang Chengen, who was going to edict, wore brocade clothes and sent all the prisoners to the Liaodong criminal prison camp, and ordered them to make meritorious contributions. Children aged three and below are trained in the Jinyi Guard so that they can serve the country when they become adults. ”

After this incident, Chongzhen finally hardened his heart, forcing himself not to think about the miserable scenes of the separation of mother and son, but asked Xu Xianchun: "The last time the slaves besieged the city, Liu Xingzuo was going to return to the Ming Dynasty, but what is happening now?" ”

Because the Ming Dynasty always believed that Liaodong was the land of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiannu was just a rebellion, so Liaodong was still detected by the Jinyi Weizhong, and Dongchang did not interfere in the affairs of Liaodong.

When Xu Xianchun heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, today's news, Liu Xingzuo has returned to Dongjiang with General Mao Wenlong, and he can return at any time." The minister was about to send someone to contact him this time. ”

Chongzhen said: "In this case, let's choose another hundred houses and go with these prisoners." ”

Xu Xianchun bowed down and said: "The minister obeys the order"

Chongzhen, who finally completely put aside the benevolence, righteousness and morality of his previous life, began to learn not to look at and deal with problems from the perspective of a Ming emperor.
