Chapter 816: Establish a prince and crack down
Everyone is very curious, what kind of demon moth can Emperor Chongzhen make now, after all, this master does not play cards according to common sense, when does not come out of the demon moth on the hour, he is the biggest demon moth.
It's no wonder that the ministers think so.
According to common sense, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he began to build a mausoleum for himself, which has been a traditional habit for thousands of years, and some even hung up their mausoleums before they started, such as Chongzhen's father......
With the example of his own father in front, the apocalypse tossed the tomb for himself, and there was a place to bury him after he hung it, but what about Emperor Chongzhen?
It's been twenty-five years since he ascended the throne, and he still hasn't started to make his own tomb.
It's actually a lot of pain.
Everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen, understands in their hearts that although they shout long live long live, long live long live, but in fact, no emperor can really live long live, basically they are all played in a few decades, and some are unlucky for a few years, and even a few months or even a month......
Why did other emperors start tossing and repairing tombs from the day they ascended the throne?
One is that they all know that they can't live long live long live, long live long live, sooner or later there will be a day when they will hang, in order to enjoy the treatment of the emperor after hanging up, they naturally have to prepare a place for themselves in advance.
The other is for the sake of scale, the more time an emperor reigns, the larger the scale of the mausoleum, which means that the greater the merit, even if this so-called merit is self-deceptive.
The last reason is that it takes decades to repair, so as not to excessively consume material and civil resources in a short period of time, and it will also minimize the possibility of official coercion and civil rebellion - after all, we have to think more about future generations.
This master is so good, he hasn't brought it up until now, and others want to persuade but don't dare to persuade - how to persuade him?
When the emperor ascended the throne, it was just a matter of mentioning it, and the emperor said that he would repair it, and if the emperor said that he would not repair it first, there would be no way to persuade him later.
Persuade the emperor to repair the mausoleum, hoping that the emperor can't live long live, long live, long live, long live, isn't it? His heart can be punished!
In the eyes of the ministers, just such a master, how not according to common sense to play cards are normal, according to common sense to play cards is a strange thing......
Sure enough, it's good that Emperor Chongzhen didn't open his mouth, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a heavenly bomb of four two belts and two kings: "It has been twenty-five years since I ascended the throne, the eldest emperor's eldest son is twenty-five years old today, and the youngest has just learned to walk."
The crown prince, the foundation of a country, I now intend to make a prince, so I want to discuss it with all Aiqing. ”
The ministers above the court are about to shed tears!
Wen Tiren's old fritters have survived to death, from the time he entered the cabinet to the time he died of exhaustion in office, he did not wait for the day when Emperor Chongzhen established the crown prince! Now, I've finally arrived!
Lu Xiangsheng immediately went out of the class and said, "Your Majesty is wise! ”
The other ministers above the court also bowed together: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand with a smile, and after letting the ministers in the court get up, he continued: "The second son of the emperor, Zhu Cihong, has a pure heart, and I intend to make him the crown prince, what do you Aiqing think?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
After another large number of echoing voices, Emperor Chongzhen said: "In this case, the second son of the emperor Zhu Cihong will enter the Ciqing Palace from now on, and the cabinet and officials will prepare the list of ministers of the prince's mansion, which will be selected by the second son of the emperor, Zhu Cihong, and the crown prince's canonization ceremony will be held on a certain day." ”
Zhu Cihong immediately went out of class and said: "The son will definitely redouble his efforts and not let his father down!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen said meaningfully: "Remember what I told you, and remember your promise to me. ”
……
After the dynasty dispersed, just after returning to the harem before she had time to rest, Queen Zhou came over first.
Although Empress Zhou couldn't hide the joy on her face at all, she still bowed to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, is it too early to make Cihong the crown prince now?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not early." It has been twenty-five years since I ascended the throne, and I have reached the age of not being confused, and it is time to make a prince. Don't hide it from the queen, if Ci Hong fights, I will help him get on the horse and take him on a journey. If he doesn't fight, I should make a decision sooner! ”
Empress Zhou also shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that should not be said by concubines, but as the old saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, you will help Cihong on the horse and send it another ride, but you ......"
After waving his hand, Emperor Chongzhen said, "You don't need to persuade anymore." I don't have that much attachment to this throne, even if I have been an emperor for eighty years, it is just a few more years of hard work.
In this life, I am worthy of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, and I am most sorry for a few of you. When I am old in the future, I will take you everywhere to visit the mountains and rivers, and take care of your days. ”
It is said that honest people are the most numb when they talk about love, and Emperor Chongzhen's ruthless stubble that knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood is even more moving.
However, before Empress Zhou could be moved to give her arms, Emperor Chongzhen said in a big way: "By the way, tell your mother's side, although Cihong has become the crown prince, don't let them think about anything that shouldn't be raised."
Especially your father, if he dares to send singers and dancers to the East Palace, don't blame me for being unsympathetic! ”
Empress Zhou could only respond aggrievedly - as if Emperor Chongzhen had spoken about it!
Who copied Zhou Guozhang's home? Who gave the death to Empress Zhou's brother? Zhou Guozhang sent a few beauties to the palace, and if he didn't appreciate it, he was still scared?
The original good mood took a sharp turn, and Queen Zhou's eyebrows were almost upside down.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that something was wrong, he immediately changed the topic: "By the way, Cihong has entered the East Palace, and I don't plan to let him stay in the palace and study all the time."
I plan to let him go out and open a government by myself, just like those princes of the old Liu family when he was a strong man, and cultivate his own team early. ”
The crown prince of the old Liu family, Emperor Chongzhen has always felt that he is very awesome, and even the princes and kings of the old Liu family are very awesome.
Take a look at the princes of the old Liu family, some of them smashed the prince of Wu to death with a chessboard on the streets of Chang'an, some dared to say that they wanted to "hide Jiaojiao in the golden house" at a few years old, and some simply sang against their fathers, and if they didn't work, they would simply rebel.
Those princes and kings are also like birds - the rebellion of the seven kings is the internal strife of the princes and kings of the old Liu family, if it were not for the fact that one of the princes and kings was taken care of by the prime minister of the country, it is estimated that it would have become the rebellion of the eight kings.
Since Zhu Laosi's generation in the Ming Dynasty, there have never been any decent princes and vassal kings - the so-called rebellion of King Ning is simply a joke!
Faced with this situation that one generation is not as good as the next, Emperor Chongzhen is naturally very dissatisfied.
And if you want to completely change this situation, the best way is to let the prince go out to open a government as soon as possible, and cultivate his own team when he is still the prince.
Having his own team means that even if the old emperor suddenly hangs up, the crown prince can rely on his own team to completely take over the court in the shortest possible time and end the turmoil.
As for saying that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to abolish the crown prince because he was dissatisfied, and the prince wanted to rebel, it was basically impossible.
Emperor Chongzhen planned to give the prince's army, pick up the system of the prince's six rates again, and allocate a sufficient number of soldiers to Zhu Cihong as a pro-army.
But to put it bluntly, the sixth rate of the crown prince is still the Ming soldiers transferred by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, as long as Emperor Chongzhen is still alive, he is the supreme emperor in the hearts of these soldiers, and an edict can make these soldiers honest.
It is precisely because of this confidence that Emperor Chongzhen plans to create a new model of cultivating princes based on the old Liu family's cultivation of princes, supplemented by referring to the models of cultivating princes in other dynasties.
The biggest confidence is that Emperor Chongzhen has enough sons, even if he abolishes one number, he can change to a trumpet and start over......
Queen Zhou snorted angrily: "You are the Son of Heaven, you are the Long Live Lord, and you have the final say in the prince's affairs?" What does a concubine know about a woman's family? Go to Lin's tonight! ”
……
Zhu Cihong, who didn't know that he had become an experiment, was full of excitement - the crown prince who had been waiting for more than 20 years finally fell into his hands!
Zhu Cihong himself has no resentment.
In any country, the crown prince's throne has been vacant for twenty-five years, and the princes below are estimated to have fought to the death, but the Chongzhen Dynasty is different.
The eldest son of the emperor is not a concubine, and the mother concubine is from a foreign family, so she naturally loses the possibility of competing for the crown prince's throne.
The identity of the third child is enough, but he is too young than himself, and he was sold to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire as a son-in-law, and he also lost the capital to compete for the crown prince.
As for the fourth and fifth children below, even if they have enough status, they can't pose a threat to Zhu Cihong in terms of age.
Therefore, the Chongzhen Dynasty is a rare spectacle of brotherly harmony.
The most important thing is that Zhu Cihong doesn't dare to resent - Emperor Chongzhen is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and this kind of thing is completely unpopular with the court if he can't establish a prince, even if it is delayed for a few more years?
Zhu Cihong soon ushered in his first appointment - to manage the East Market.
The east market of the capital is not big, it is not small to say that it is not small, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is the most test of a person's comprehensive ability.
Zhu Cihong, who intended to show his talents, soon took office, but at the beginning, Zhu Cihong did not make any moves, but just observed all the situations in Dongshi.
Emperor Chongzhen is also observing Zhu Cihong's words and deeds, and every day, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will compile Zhu Cihong's every move into a book, and then report it to Emperor Chongzhen.
Because Emperor Chongzhen is not careful, cultivating the crown prince is by no means a matter of just talking, and there are too many things involved.
……
Chongzhen's 25-year crackdown soon began.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't have much opinion on the heroes and heroes, after all, people like Liu Yihang, Wang Haojie, and Meng Fanxing were also transferred by heroes and heroes, because of the great contribution of catching laborers on the border, and now they have been transferred to the supernumerary horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
But those green skins are different, if these green skins are left alone, the biggest possibility is that the Ming Dynasty has become the same as a certain railway station in later generations, and even the official errand is not safe......
Not long after he lived in the East Palace, Zhu Cihong had to take the prince's six horses and horses to form an action group with several imperial historians and the killers of the Beijing camp, and directly began to crack down on a certain area.
According to the standards made by the cabinet and the criminal department, this time it is a thorough investigation - all the vitality groups are within the scope of the attack, as long as they are recorded by Jinyiwei, one is counted as one, they are all arrested and thrown into the prison, and then wait for the next step of screening.
Except for those who are worthy of the death penalty and will eventually be sent to the capital for review, the rest don't matter how light they are, even if they are extortion and protection money, they are all arrested and thrown to the Ministry of Railways to be used as coolies, and the sentencing standard starts at ten years and has no upper limit.
In fact, there is not much difference between the beginning of this decade and the death penalty, because the Ministry of Railways has recently begun to run out of labor, and even if there are new labor replenishment, the rate of replenishment is basically the same as the rate of consumption.
The reason is that Emperor Chongzhen's requirements are too high, and the heart of the Ministry of Railways is too big - when all kinds of technical means are not mature enough, he wants to raise the scale of the railway, is there any other way to fill it with human lives?
The railways built by the Ministry of Railways at the beginning were better, but the later ones became more and more difficult to repair, especially in Duogansi and Wusizang, as well as those in Sichuan and Yunnan.
Even, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Household mentioned in the five-year plan to build another 150,000 miles of railways, the Ministry of Railways is ready to take human lives to fill it.
Further south, not to mention Cochin and Burma, where railways were built, there were basically not many shadows of the Ming people, and they were basically using foreign "laborers".
In other words, it is ready to take the silver to pile up a road of 150,000 miles, and it is also necessary to connect the entire Ming Dynasty through the railway.
It is naturally impossible for the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty to fill in the railway, and His Majesty Yang Er's experience is not far away, no matter how stupid Emperor Chongzhen is, he will not be stupid enough to levy the people's conscription to repair the railway, unless Emperor Chongzhen does not care about the stability of the country.
And the consumption rate of the barbarians is too fast, and the replenishment can't catch up with the speed of death, so in the end, they can only fill in these green skins, which not only solves the hidden danger of social stability, but also improves the speed of railway construction, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Now these Ming Qingpi will also be regarded as laborers, even if the Ministry of Railways arranges easier work for them, and then deliberately takes care of them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for these people to survive ten years.
As for running away or something, don't think about it, although the world is big, but where is there no Jinyi Wei and the minions of the government? Where is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty?
Sea? Where to go? Run to the land of the barbarians?
Even if he successfully escaped the government's search, he also avoided the wind, waves and dangers at sea, and then what?
has a face of a Ming man, and after running over, I'm afraid that the target is not obvious enough, isn't it easy for Jinyi Wei to deal with it secretly?
I'm afraid I'm not dying faster!
