3 If you go outside, you must first settle inside
First, although Cao Huachun was considered by the original Emperor Chongzhen to be the most confidant, it is obvious that this Cao Huachun has his own ideas, and he may not fully understand the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, and act according to the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen.
Second, this Cao Huachun is collecting money behind Emperor Chongzhen's back, and he is not just doing a small job, but even collecting money from cabinet ministers. It can be seen from this that it is estimated that the money of other civil officials in the DPRK and China will not be less.
Third, this Cao Huachun has his own power, and he can control it to the extent that he does something that will obviously go against the will of Emperor Chongzhen, but no one will come to expose it.
All in all, Cao Huachun is using his existing power to make money and do things, regardless of whether this matter will be harmful to Daming? Is it against Emperor Chongzhen's intentions? In other words, he didn't think about it at all, he would be sorry for Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him, and he felt that it was nothing!
Those who are officials are for money, but can't those who are eunuchs be for money?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also heard a little relief from his conversation, that is, there was a piece of stinky shit in the cabinet. However, whether that Xue Manzi was stinky shit or not, Emperor Chongzhen did not believe it 100% immediately, he decided that he must try it himself to find out.
Emperor Chongzhen was thinking so, and suddenly there was a "ding" sound, and the system prompted that the unpredictable task had been completed, and the system rewarded a C-level eavesdropping seed.
Subsequently, another new task shows: being the emperor is a science, how to ensure the interests of the emperor in the complex relationship interests, this is a wise emperor must learn to face, but also the premise of Zhongxing Ming, perfect solution to the Cao Huachun incident, reward a first-class eavesdropping seed, better solve the Cao Huachun incident, reward a B-level eavesdropping seed, generally solve the Cao Huachun incident, reward a C-level eavesdropping seed, recklessly solve the Cao Huachun incident, cause adverse consequences, no reward. Acceptable?
Emperor Chongzhen chose to accept it without hesitation, and then immediately began to think about how to deal with Cao Huachun's matter. The system gave such a task, obviously, it was to remind himself to be cautious in dealing with Cao Huachun's affairs.
Thinking about it, when he said the words of Taizu's dream, Cao Huachun hadn't come in yet, but when he walked out of the palace gate, a eunuch immediately told him what happened in the palace. It can be seen that Cao Huachun's power is huge.
Originally, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think anything about it, because what happened in the palace, he just wanted everyone to know. But now, since he wants to deal with Cao Huachun, he must care about it, and he must pay enough attention to it.
After all, it is possible that Cao Huachun could not have thought about what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do at this time. However, if Emperor Chongzhen dealt with Cao Huachun recklessly, in case of a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, then what Cao Huachun would do, who can know?
The unpredictable things in people's hearts have already been prompted by the system. In my previous life, I didn't hear much about killing people in a fit of anger or anger. Not only for better system rewards, but also for the sake of being responsible for your own safety, you have to handle it properly.
When Emperor Chongzhen was pondering this, there was movement on Cao Huachun's side. He clicked on it, but it was Cao Huachun who went to the cabinet to pass on the message. Judging from the dialogue, it seems that Yang Sichang is the only one in the cabinet. Obviously, Cao Huachun's advance notice allowed Yang Sichang to branch out the other two auxiliary ministers. At this time, Yang Sichang, on behalf of the cabinet, refused to draft an edict and asked to see the emperor.
Seeing this information, Emperor Chongzhen sneered, since you want to see it, then come! Lu Xiangsheng, I am saved!
Thinking so in his heart, he took a step forward to think about what he should say when he summoned Yang Sichang. I have to say that with this eavesdropping system, many things can be prepared for a rainy day, which is really useful!
It didn't take long for Cao Huachun to come back in a hurry, and his face looked a little ugly and said that the cabinet was not summoned, and the auxiliary minister Yang Sichang asked to face the king.
Looking at Cao Huachun, Emperor Chongzhen had to sigh, life is like a play, and all the actors in the palace are good. If you don't know, look at his face, and think it has nothing to do with him!
Immediately, Emperor Chongzhen also began to act, and he didn't know that Cao Huachun had colluded with Yang Sichang in advance, so he immediately issued an order, set up the Wenhua Palace, and summoned Yang Sichang to meet him.
It didn't take long for Yang Sichang to play in an anxious tone after seeing the ceremony in the Wenhua Palace: "It's not that the minister is unwilling to be called!" Your Majesty, Lu Shilang is the main battle, if all the soldiers and horses in the world are under his command, he will fight to the death with the Manchu Qing, if all the Manchu Qing are destroyed, it will be enough to recover Liaodong! But I am afraid that it only caused a lot of casualties to enter the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in the end it failed to win, so it will definitely anger Huang Taiji, thus despairing the hope of peace. Please be cautious about this matter! ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he sneered and said: "Qing said that the Eastern Han Dynasty eclipsed Mars, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty negotiated peace with the Southern Xiongnu; When Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty was eclipse, the Song army was defeated by the Song army. But I want to tell Qing that Taizu is in a dream, and if I don't change, the society is in danger! Let's talk about it, is it important to have the past in the previous dynasty, or is it important for Taizu to dream about it? ”
He said that these past events of the previous dynasty were actually the historical basis for Yang Sichang to prove that he was right when he gave a chapter to Emperor Chongzhen before and explained his strategy of "fighting outside must first settle inside".
Listening to these words, Cao Huachun, who was waiting on the side, looked at his nose and nose and heart, motionless, like a mud bodhisattva. But in his heart, he also began to seriously ponder the matter of Taizu Tuomeng. Judging from the emperor's attitude, the emperor takes this matter seriously.
The ancients believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, and even believed in the manifestation of their ancestors. Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's emphasis on Taizu's dream, Yang Sichang's face immediately changed, and he knew that it should not be someone else's words, but because of Taizu's dream, that the emperor had a repetition in the matter of peace.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen's tone suddenly became stern, and then he shouted to Yang Sichang: "I have figured it out, it is good to be at home first, but this is just wishful thinking." I came to ask Qing, if Qing is the emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can you really want to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty? If you want to negotiate peace, what is the cost? Do you want me to become emperor or cede land to the Manchus? The Manchu Qing Dynasty is already uncontrollable, do you want me to offer benefits with both hands and continue to strengthen the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”
Hearing these words, Yang Sichang's sweat immediately came down, and he hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty, endure the humiliation for a while, and when the country is stabilized, I will be able to destroy the Manchu Qing one day." In the past, Altan Khan, wasn't it also a compromise with the imperial court, and he should open the border city before he stopped the sword soldiers! ”
"Hehehe......" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help sneering again and again, laughing so much that Yang Sichang lowered his head, and the sweat dripped down vigorously. I don't know why, at this time, he felt the pressure he had never felt before. I feel that Emperor Chongzhen at this time is very strong, like the sun in midsummer, which makes people dare not look up.
Even Cao Huachun, who was like a mud bodhisattva on the side, couldn't help but secretly look at Emperor Chongzhen, a little frightened in his heart. He suddenly felt that the familiar emperor in front of him seemed to be a little unfamiliar. The words are sharp, like knives and guns, and they are unstoppable!
Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and shouted at Yang Sichang: "Thanks to Qing's reputation for intelligence, Qing knows that any alliance under the city is meaningful?" During the Jiajing period, the border city was opened, and Altan Khan did not violate my Ming border year after year! Any peace negotiation can only be won by fighting, and at least if the opponent is hurt, can there be a basis for peace talks. I'm still the same as I just said, if you still don't understand, then let's make it clearer......"
At this time, Yang Sichang found that although it was the middle of winter, his sweat had soaked a large part of the ground, so he couldn't help but quickly wipe his sweat and continue to listen quietly.
"As I just said, if Qing is the emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he knows that there are thieves in my Ming Dynasty, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people are miserable, and his Manchu army has no opponent when he enters the customs several times. In such a situation, Qing is willing to negotiate peace with Daming, and then let Daming rectify the interior and become strong again? If this is the case, Qing is not worried, will I tear up the contract to exterminate the Manchu Qing in the future? ”
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he sneered, and then continued: "If Emperor Taiji is just a mediocre person, he may only be able to see the immediate benefits, if so, as you said, it is not impossible for me to endure humiliation and taste courage. ”
Suddenly, his voice raised again: "But, who is that Huang Taiji?" Is he a philistine? He was a hundred times more shrewd than the previous wild boar skin, and the Manchu Qing were in his hands, and now he had conquered Korea and defeated Lin Dan Khan, and the central and eastern steppes respected him. Would a person like him really want peace talks only for immediate interests? He wished that my Daming would become more and more chaotic! Hehe, he also founded the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and established himself as the emperor, it is not a great khan, and its ambition can be imagined! It is also said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a water virtue, and water can extinguish the fire of my Ming Dynasty, and the sinister nature of its heart is clearly revealed, what do you think? ”
