Chapter 138: Persuasion (First Update, Asking for Support)
Who is the most important in the 49 cities?
Naturally, many people will say that the Forbidden City is the most important. But this place in the capital is evil, and sometimes, what people talk in the Forbidden City is not necessarily useful. Just like after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was not the little emperor in the palace who spoke, but the Manchu regent Dolgon who took the Daming South Palace as the palace. And now, this once deserted palace has changed its owner, renamed from Prince Rui's palace to Chu Wangfu, although there is no name of regent, but in terms of its power, it is not inferior to Dolgon, of course, it is only limited to Beijing, limited to several provinces under the control of Chu Domain.
But even so, for those Beijing officials in Beijing, the King of Chu is still a powerful minister, and for them who are familiar with history books, they naturally know what it is to hold military power in troubled times, not to mention that the hands of this person who holds military power still control the imperial court.
In the past, when the imperial court first returned to Beijing, people thought that the king of Chu was at most a powerful minister, but the emperor's violent illness and death made people stunned at the same time, and they also understood what the king of Chu was thinking.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of speculators, especially for some so-called "readers".
Li Shi, who was in the room, blushed quite a bit by the candlelight while brewing this article. Although he has repeatedly gone to the examination over the years, he has always wanted to take the Jinshi Guangyao lintel, but Shunzhi did not open Cisco in the eighteenth year, so he will stay in Beijing, originally he wanted to return to his hometown and go home, but in the current situation, he let him see the opportunity, the emperor's violent death, did not let him come forward, but let him see the opportunity.
If an article is published now in support of King Chu's succession to the throne, then how does the outside world view this matter? Won't you say that you are capricious and speculative?
Thinking of this, Li Shi couldn't help but feel empty again.
Throughout the ages, how many people who want to achieve great things are not speculative campers?
Thinking about it this way, Li Shi figured it out again. He picked up the pen and solemnly wrote the title - "Who in the World Deserves". After lifting the pen, Li Shi did not stop again, he wrote, while thinking, and took Hongwu as an example, saying why Hongwu was the most righteous in the world, and even in the article, the pen was alluded to the king of Chu, pointing out that the king of Chu should be the world.
Finally, after writing the article, he looked at the article again, nodded with satisfaction, and then muttered to himself.
"After the article is published, the name of Li will definitely enter the palace!"
Early in the morning, Li Huaxi came to the palace of the king of Chu, he was a jinshi during the Apocalypse, and it can be said that he was an old minister of the "Four Dynasties", although his reputation was not obvious, but after all, he was also an old minister in Beijing, for such an old minister, Li Ziyuan was also quite generous, and most of them were retained. However, because the imperial court has its own six departments, although these people are retained, most of them are only retained, in other words, they are idle people.
And for these once powerful Beijing officials, they naturally don't want to be idle in the house, and the way to get promoted can be said to be speculative and camping, but even so, only a few people can get new errands, and Li Huaxi is not among them. That's why he's more aggressive than anyone else.
When he came to the palace of the king of Chu, although he was wearing a three-grade official robe, he could only wait on the sidelines as a "supplementary official", waiting for the king to summon him. However, he is not the only one who came to the palace today, there are dozens of Beijing officials.
Hearing that dozens of Beijing officials came to visit him together, Li Ziyuan was stunned.
"Let them in! Look at what they want to do! ”
In fact, as an old minister, Li Ziyuan didn't need to see him at all, but in the past few days, he has not refused any official's request to see him.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
But who blew this gust of wind first?
The people of the Chu Palace's Mansion can't come out like this, if it is a Yongli courtier, it would be great, but those people are like a dead father, and no one mentions this matter at all.
According to the usual practice, this persuasion should also have an order, just like the persuasion table of Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, the order of his official position persuasion is very particular. The ranking of officials is divided into three parts, in order: meritorious service of the Han Dynasty, subordinate officials of General Zuo, and meritorious ministers under Liu Bei. The reason why this is so is because the meritorious persuasion of the Han Dynasty not only represents the old officials of the previous dynasty, but also represents the "hearts of the people of the world".
Now, the arrival of such a group of "former officials" who are not well-known makes Li Ziyuan's mind move.
"They are both Ming ministers and Qing ministers, and I, Li, am the Qing Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty. After all, tomorrow morning is already dead. ”
Thinking like this in his heart, Li Ziyuan was naturally full of expectations for the arrival of Li Huaxi and others. When he slowly entered the palace of the great prince and saw the king of Chu who was sitting upright, he bowed with everyone.
"Wait for the king!"
After a long time, Li Huaxi took the lead in kneeling, he knelt like this, and everyone else also knelt down, in Daming, this is the etiquette to see the Son of Heaven.
"Guys, why is that?"
Looking at the officials who knelt down in front of him, Li Ziyuan's heart moved, and a feeling of unbearability stirred in his heart.
Here it comes!
It's finally here!
took a deep breath, and then Li Huaxi held a fold in both hands and said loudly.
"Ministers Li Huaxi, Wang Daoqian, Liu Zizhuang...... Wait for thirty-six people to play: How difficult it was to rejuvenate the country in ancient times, to enlighten the saints with worries, to be sharp when things are dangerous, and to worry deeply about hardships, so it is ...... to turn disasters into blessings"
Persuade!
Throughout the ages, such a scene has been staged in many places, no matter who is persuaded to enter, the persuasive will compare it with Yao Shun and other pre-Qin holy monarchs, as if he ascended the great treasure and sat on the throne, that is a matter of course, that is the expectation of the people, and it is in accordance with the mandate of heaven.
In short, the persuader will use their words to convince the persuaded that he is in accordance with the destiny of heaven and that he should be so. No one will care about why he will be persuaded, as for what "the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of?" The ears of the strong soldiers and the strong horses are the ears". Everyone knows it, but no one cares. As for what "usurpation" is, it is often replaced by "Zen concession", if there is no "Zen concession", it doesn't matter, this is in accordance with the mandate of heaven.
The reason why the persuaders are so active is because of the "merit of persuasion". The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This is true in shopping malls, and even more so in officialdom. However, everyone knows that Li Ziyuan will definitely refuse, after all, according to the ancient rites, he must be persuaded three times before he can "reluctantly" accept.
After someone took the lead in persuading the head of the advancement, the activities of persuasion in the capital were carried out day by day, and at the same time, from Beizhili to Shanxi, and then to Henan and Huguang, all kinds of auspiciousness and persuasion were even more day by day.
Seeing that a new generation of dynasty was about to be born, the ministers of the Chu Wangfu were naturally extremely reluctant to let Li Huaxi and a group of other old officials take away the first credit for supporting the new lord, and they persuaded them again, at the same time, the old ministers in the Yongli Dynasty, when they saw that someone had started, naturally some people responded, and only a very small number of ministers chose to be silent. Of course, the persuasion of this group of people who tend to be inflammatory, was once again rejected by Li Ziyuan.
When the persuasion of the Beijing division blew to Changsha, in Changsha's five provinces of economic and strategic envoys, the atmosphere seemed a little strange, for a few days ago just took off the red crown of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has not just changed to the Ming Dynasty Wu Sha Dai hot Hong Chengchou, in the face of such a situation, the whole person hesitated.
"After the death of the first emperor, everyone in the world thought that it was the Chu clan who was harmed, and today's persuasion of the clowns who jumped off the beam is not trapping the king in injustice. You go and tell the king of Chu that at this time, if he intends to ascend the throne, it will not only be harmful to the Ming Dynasty, but it may also be beneficial to himself. If he wants to be the emperor, now after he first brings out the emperor of the Zhu family, it is ...... to plan and act in the future."
Hong Chengchou stared at Zhu Yingsheng with doubts in his eyes.
"Do you know this?"
Shaking his head, Zhu Yingsheng said bluntly.
"Someone must have bewitched this matter."
With that, he stared at Hong Chengchou and continued.
"Although what the adults said is very reasonable, but the matter has been put aside, if the adults can't go to the book to persuade them, what will the people of the world think? Besides, for adults, it is better to be a minister of the new dynasty than to be an old minister of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Although he was surprised by the change in Jingshi, Zhu Yingsheng, who knew that there was no way out, still persuaded Hong Chengchou so that he could follow the persuasion of the ministers.
Hong Chengchou, who was stuck in the door of his life with a word, sat silently. He knows that what Zhu Yingsheng said is the truth, and even he has already made up his mind, in the future, after Zhu Huai, Li Jin and others are pacified, he will also persuade Li Chu, after all, only with a new dynasty can he cover up his Hong Chengchou's traitorous act of seeking glory, and only by letting the Ming Dynasty become the past can he tell the world that he Hong Chengchou was in compliance with the mandate of heaven, not that he was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but because the Ming Dynasty was exhausted.
But now...... Isn't that a little too early?
"Zhu Huai, Li Jin, Min Zheng have not been removed, will it be too early to be called emperor in such a hurry?"
After being silent for a long time, Hong Chengchou looked at Zhu Yingsheng and expressed his concerns.
"Although it is a bit hasty, but the time has come to this, if the adults can persuade the governor of Sichuan to surrender as soon as possible, and the king is in charge of most of the world, the overall situation of the world can be calmed, why should you worry about anything else?"
Sichuan, the five southwestern provinces, Henan, Shanxi, and Beizhili...... After thinking about it repeatedly in his heart, Hong Chengchou did not agree.
"Well, you go back, let me think again."
Think again, look again...... After all, in this current situation in the world, at this time, Hong Chengchou's mind almost naturally thought of another imperial court, if the Qing Dynasty heard about this, what would happen?
