Chapter 378: The Barrel of the Gun
Chongzhen, who had been dealing with government affairs in the Qianqing Palace for a day, put down a letter sent by Shaanxi, and suddenly cared about the prince's recent situation: "Chengen, how has the prince behaved in Zhan Shifu recently. ”
Wang Chengen motioned to a little eunuch to offer the emperor a bowl of ginseng tea, Chongzhen took it and took a sip, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter with ginseng tea, I have already said that it can be cooled and boiled." ”
The little eunuch was frightened and immediately knelt on the gold brick ground, the gold brick was cold, and his body was even colder, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Wang Chengen motioned for the little eunuch to step back, and his face, which had always been low-browed and pleasing to the eyes, had a little more smile: "This is the high-grade Liaodong red ginseng that I won from the Donglin Party a few years ago." ”
The red ginseng used in ginseng tea was obtained from the hands of the Donglin Party, which relieved Chongzhen, who was in pain, but he was still a little reluctant, and took a small sip.
The emperor was willing to use ginseng tea, and Wang Chengen was even more relieved, and began to report back to the prince's recent situation: "Your Majesty, the prince has rarely been in Zhan Shifu in recent months, and most of the time he likes to go to Zhuangzi, the industrial marquis, to read books. ”
Chongzhen appointed Zhu Shun as a scholar of Zuochunfang University, just to tie Zhu Shun to the Ming Dynasty, and the heavy responsibility of teaching the prince still fell on the Confucian, who was proficient in Bagu Wen.
Zuo Chunfang's Zuo Shuzi, Zuo Yude and other official positions were all held by the Confucians, but these Donglin Party Confucians became decorations, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong rarely stayed in the Zhan Mansion, and went to the industrial city to observe the magnificent chimneys and steam machinery when he had nothing to do.
This can make the beard of the Donglin Party Confucianism up, and he wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to complain many times, but was stopped by several waiters.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong was not very happy to listen to the subset of scriptures and histories taught by several great Confucians, and if the complaint caused the prince to be punished by the emperor, he would not even be able to see a shadow in the future.
dragged on for several months, Chongzhen never knew about the prince's unscrupulous business, and his face was unhappy: "Reading? I don't know what the prince is thinking, I must be looking at those new machines again. ”
Speaking of new machinery, Chongzhen's mood is even worse, if he goes on like this, the prince will be the second carpenter emperor, and he can't let him mess around like this anymore, and said with an ugly face: "If the order goes down, the prince will not be allowed to leave Zhan Shifu for half a step in the future." ”
"If you do it again......"
Before he finished speaking, a little eunuch drove in: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”
Chongzhen sat back on Jin Sinan's official hat chair and said expressionlessly: "It's just right to come, Prince Xuan comes in." ”
Zhu Cihong, the crown prince wearing a winged crown and a red robe of a coiled dragon, walked into the warm pavilion, feeling that the atmosphere here was a little wrong, and he didn't think much about it with the words of violence in his heart, and bowed down and said, "The child greets his father." ”
In the end, it is father and son, Chongzhen looked at the eldest son of the emperor so polite, his face softened a lot, and asked: "What book have you read recently, recite it to my father." ”
The crown prince Zhu Cihong looked around suspiciously, trying to find the shadow of the Donglin Party Confucian, it must have been the Donglin Party Confucian's secret complaint, otherwise his father would not suddenly let him recite the classics.
If the Confucian of the Donglin Party knew the thoughts of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, they really did anything.
After looking around, I didn't find the shadow of the Donglin Party Confucian, I must have been afraid of being found and went back in advance, the prince Zhu Cihong secretly wrote down this complaint, and immediately began to search for a classic to deal with the past.
Chongzhen waited for a cup of tea and didn't see the prince reciting the classics, but he stood in a daze, and was instantly angry by the prince's ignorance, and slapped the royal case violently: "Don't ........ in the future"
Before Zhuangzi, who was not allowed to go to the industrial marquis in the future, finished speaking, the crown prince Zhu Cihong thought of a way to deal with the past, and just spoke: "Father, the child has a way to solve the problem of a large number of military leaders. ”
The military head and the Donglin Party are the two heaviest mountains on Chongzhen's head, and the Donglin Party is better, and it will only quarrel in the court and will not threaten Chongzhen's throne.
The head of the army is different, now it is in the midst of great chaos, there are Jiannu outside at the border, and there are thieves inside who continue to undermine the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
has a large number of soldiers in his hands, and if he staged a drama with a yellow robe, whether it succeeds or not, it will bring heavy damage to Daming.
Chongzhen has been thinking about it for so many years, but he has never found a solution, let alone him, even if he is as wise and martial as Emperor Wanli, he is helpless in the face of the problem of the military head.
Suddenly heard that the crown prince Zhu Cihong had a solution, Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, not to laugh at the prince's big words, after all, no father would laugh at his son.
Chongzhen smiled with relief from the bottom of his heart, no matter whether the prince had a way to solve the problem of the military head, being able to see the stubborn illness of this empire was enough to make him feel good: "Let's hear it." ”
Prince Zhu Cihong didn't say it casually, this is the insight he has gained from "The Biography of the Great Man" during this period of time, and he said it very seriously.
"Power comes out of the barrel of a gun."
The crown prince Zhu Cihong didn't say much, just this sentence made Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, raise his eyelids and look at the prince Zhu Cihong carefully.
At this time, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, happened to come over to discuss how to deal with the thieves in Xi'an Mansion, this rich man who likes to copy his cuffs, with a perennial smile on his face, really squinted his eyes.
Obviously, the crown prince Zhu Cihong's sentence from the barrel of the gun out of power had a great impact on him, which made the cabinet chief assistant a little unable to keep his mind and was greatly shocked.
Chongzhen, as the prince's father, didn't expect the prince to have such a commanding opinion, and a sentence of a gun out of power said the root cause of heart failure in all dynasties.
Chongzhen lost a smile on his face, and saw that the crown prince was no longer his own emperor, but a national scholar who was enough to answer the emperor head-on, and said, "The emperor continues." ”
The crown prince Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing, he admired the great man more and more, but he didn't expect that just a sentence from the great man on his lips made the three people standing at the pinnacle of power around him have such a big shock.
If you say some classic quotations of great men, you must not make them happy and angry.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong smiled, and also knew that now was not the time to say those words, and the top priority was to grasp the violent organs through this military issue.
The situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more severe, and the common people are living in dire straits under the oppression of local tyrants and inferior gentry, so they will rise up to rebel.
As long as there is a bowl of rice to eat, where will the common people give up their stable life and run to rebel.
So.
It's time for land reform.
