Dolgon naturally didn't know that the matter he was discussing was eavesdropped, and it was fed back to Emperor Chongzhen for the first time.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not care about it immediately, but he was going to Beijing, and he had to return to the palace first.

With the previous main force returning to Beijing first, the details of this battle of Haizhou have also spread throughout the Beijing Division. Even because it was passed on by word of mouth, it was later transmitted, and there were discrepancies with the original facts, which seemed even more exaggerated. However, the people of Jingshi all believe that because Emperor Chongzhen at this time, in their eyes, is the real Son of Heaven, the real dragon descends to earth, otherwise, it would not be so powerful, since the imperial drive set out on the expedition, every war is a miracle.

At this time, hearing that the emperor was going to Beijing, the queen completely forgot the emperor's previous instructions, don't make a fuss, and still took the prince of the prison country, led the civil and military officials, and followed by the people of the city, went out of the city to greet the emperor together.

Needless to say, this scene is the most lively of the year.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen was not angry, but looked at the countless heads who warmly welcomed him, and he was actually very emotional in his heart. This year is the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and if it were in the original history, it would be a year of devastation.

Emperor Chongzhen himself hanged himself, his family was ruined, and hundreds of people followed his family. In the south, the Ming clan competed for the emperor, and the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty continued to fight for power, regardless of whether the people lived or died; In the north, the thieves and the Manchus competed for the world, and the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty took refuge in the new masters, regardless of whether the people lived or died;

The entire land of China, where no one dies everywhere and all the time, is simply a hell on earth!

But now it's good, since the catastrophe in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, there has been no large-scale military disaster, of course, the northwest was invaded by Chai Shihua in collusion with Jianyu, it should still be counted. In addition, there are basically no large-scale deaths due to military disasters. Although natural disasters continue, he pays attention to disaster prevention and relief, and even prefers to let the construction and capture not fight, but also uses food to relieve the disaster first.

In addition, he also changed a clear stream into a "cool official", and snatched back food from the hands of those officials and gentry to prevent and relieve disasters. For this matter, he also took off the black gauze hats of more than 100 local magistrates in one go.

Under such determination, even if there are still natural disasters, there are not many deaths! Just look at the crowd in front of you, and you can react one or two. And this is also one of the things that Shoufu Xue Guoguan is having a headache, so he will summon him again and give him a solution.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a special group, all of whom were tearfully probing their brains. He came back to his senses, and this was the one who greeted his relatives.

So, he didn't go to talk to the queen, but drove the horse to the front of the group first, facing these people who knelt down to greet him, Emperor Chongzhen turned over and dismounted, strode over, personally helped up an old woman in the front, and said to the others at the same time: "All be flat!" I deserve it to you. But no matter what, I went to Liaodong this time, and finally rescued people. ”

These people were all ruined by Jianjiao, and their relatives were not allowed to reunite. It would be impossible to say that they did not have the slightest opinion on the imperial court in their hearts.

However, a simple idea is that the emperor is good, and he is a traitor in the court. This has also been proven by facts.

The traitors are traitors such as Yang Sichang, who colluded with the traitorous Jin merchants; The Emperor got rid of these traitors, and then beat them to the ground. Coupled with Emperor Chongzhen's subsequent series of measures to benefit the people, whoever dares to say bad things about the emperor, they will not agree.

In addition, this time, they heard that the emperor was only besieged by more than 300,000 captives with only 50,000 horses, and took such a big risk just to save people and come back. Let me ask, is there such a good emperor in the world who is anxious for the people? It's been this one since ancient times!

At this time, when they heard the emperor say this, they felt ashamed, and they respected the emperor even more, and they forcibly knelt down one after another to thank God.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to issue an order to let the Jinyi guard on his side command Tongzhi Wuzhong to bring people over and reunite their relatives, while he himself stepped aside and watched all this silently.

Before, no one thought about the day when they returned to Daming and saw their relatives; Here, too, no one expected that the relatives who were plundered to Liaodong by Jianjiao would have a goodbye day.

It is said that when the fellow sees the fellow, the tears are full of tears. The one in front of me, but the relatives who originally thought they would never see each other again, naturally needless to say, this meeting is needless to say.

Some weep with joy, some cry with their heads, and even some rejoice or faint from crying. However, no matter what the situation is, after their relatives recognize each other, they will kneel down respectfully at Emperor Chongzhen's side, and seriously kowtow three times: this kindness and virtue cannot be repaid, only to go back and set up the immortal tablet, pray day and night, and bless the emperor long live!

Looking at this scene, so many people who greeted Jingshi, including the queen and other civil and military officials, did not show an impatient look.

The emotions in the world sometimes resonate, and such a scene, even if the human heart is not made of meat, I am afraid that it will be moved.

Of course, with so many people, is there anyone who is impatient? There must be, but under the general trend, no one dares to risk the world's condemnation and show impatience to find death!

By the time this scene ended, it was already sunset.

At this time, it was already the end of October and the beginning of November, and the sun was setting, and there was no warmth at all.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say more, so he asked the people of Beijing to go home first, and he talked to the queen outside the city first, and the emperor did not appear to return to the palace first, and the people went home last.

This scene made the people of Beijing feel that the emperor really loves the people like a son. And this is also one of the driving forces for them to dare to criticize the emperor regardless of their lives. It can be said that at least in the territory of Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen has reached the point where he can control any situation in Jingshi without the army, and he can control any situation in Jingshi with just one sentence.

While Emperor Chongzhen and the empress were talking, they naturally had to ask about the situation of the prince beside him.

At this time, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was already fifteen years old, a half-grown child, and his height was also beginning to rise. Hearing the emperor ask him about his situation, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

The queen looked at him and knew that in front of Emperor Chongzhen, she couldn't say half a lie, because she couldn't hide it, so she had to roughly explain the situation.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the prince's expression, he knew that something would happen, otherwise, the prince would not have this kind of expression.

Sure enough, under the narration of Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen knew that the prince was in the rebellious period, and he had some resistance to the studies assigned to him, and he liked to play.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not get angry, but just said "um" lightly.

Unexpectedly, the prince saw that his father did not reprimand him, but was worried, and quickly admitted his mistake under the signal of his mother's gaze.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not say anything, but ordered to drive back to the palace.

That's it, after Emperor Chongzhen entered the city, the civil and military officials were the last to enter the city, and the day was over.

Early the next morning, the cabinet decree was handed over to the Imperial Court by the celebrant in accordance with the urgent procedure.

Emperor Chongzhen convened a meeting of his ministers in the Wenhua Hall to settle the matters accumulated during his absence.

In the past, when he was on the campaign against the thieves, there was a piece that he had to deal with, and he would send it in an urgent manner. But this time, Emperor Chongzhen was fighting in the area of Haizhou and Yaozhouyi, separated by a sea, so he couldn't send it.

At this time, the six ministries and nine secretaries, as well as the cabinet celebrant supervisor, were all officials in red robes. Unlike before, Emperor Chongzhen also asked the governors of the five armies, the capital of the capital and the Beijing camp, and the chief military officers under the imperial horse supervisor to also participate in the audit.

In this regard, the civil officials all knew that the military generals were going to rise, but the emperor's prestige was in full swing, and no one dared to persuade the emperor to say that it was not good, after all, there was no clear text saying that it would not work. Anyway, the emperor will come when he asks him to come, and he will leave if he lets go.

The first thing Xue Guoguan, the first assistant to the cabinet, was a note sent by Mu Guogong in Yunnan Province, saying that Ma Xianglin at the front had captured the traitor spies, and learned a major news from it, that Annan had sent people to have contacts with the traitors, and there seemed to be a tendency to collude.

In the absence of the emperor, the crown prince was in charge of the country, and after the eunuchs of the first assistant and the eunuch of the master of ceremonies were discussed, they asked the prince to agree, and sent a holy decree to Annan to reprimand, strictly ordering them not to collude with the traitors.

After Xue Guoguan finished speaking, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the Shapu Rebellion has not been settled for a long time, and the southern barbarians are afraid that they are snubbing the Celestial Empire. If the court does not handle it properly, I am afraid that there will be a reappearance of the extravagant rebellion, and this matter has to be prevented! ”

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen's hand was holding the corresponding copy of the concerto, looking at the celebrant priest's red, he was not annoyed, but said lightly: "The meaning of the celebrant and the cabinet is to continue to strictly urge Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin to quell the Shapu Rebellion as soon as possible, so as to deter other wrongdoers?" ”

"Exactly!" Xue Guoguan and Cao Huachun both came out to respond.

In their opinion, this is the safest measure. And this is a precedent to follow, the emperor should not have an opinion, right?

If it was before, they were sure in their hearts. But looking at the emperor's words and deeds now, they are not sure whether this is the most appropriate thing to do.

Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen then shake his head and say: "It is the trend of the times to change the land and return to the stream, and this point must be adhered to." Since there are unscrupulous people, let's let them jump out, otherwise, they will always be lurking, and I have no reason to clean them up. In the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, there are many toasts, and they are a country of their own, and they do not accept the king, how can they always be like this. ”

Later, he was a little more stern, raised his voice and said: "Draft, order Mu Guogong to be optimistic about Yunnan for me, dare to have Tusi disobey the order, and severely punish him." In addition, I will also give Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin a secret decree, if any Tusi dares to rebel, I will wait to solve them together! ”

At this time, the emperor's ability to lead the army to fight is already obvious to all. It can be said that as long as the emperor goes out, he will be invincible and invincible. Even the once powerful Jianyu has now been beaten by the emperor for a long time, just waiting for the Ming Dynasty to raise food and finally clean them up. Southwest Tusi, the combat power is not as good as Jianyu, with the emperor's ability, he said that he would solve them together, so it is estimated that he will definitely be able to solve them together!

Therefore, no one dares to make sense of the emperor's strength, and this matter can be regarded as conclusive.

When the chief officers heard this, they couldn't help but rejoice, as long as there is a battle to fight, they will have military merits, and for them, this is a good thing!

And as far as the character of the military commander is concerned, if you can solve it with your fists, don't use your mouth to compare blindly, this is the right reason!

Soon the clear intention was drawn up and sent to Yunnan. At the same time, the secret decree written by Emperor Chongzhen himself was also issued by the captain of Jinyi Wei and also sent to Yunnan.

After solving this matter, Xue Guoguan, the first assistant, came forward to the second major event, saying that near the end of the year, judging from the statistics of the two capitals and thirteen provinces across the country, the population of Daming now has more than 230 million, although it is now committed to building water conservancy, opening up wasteland and farming, and the output of potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on promoted by the Agricultural Division is getting bigger and bigger, but the food problem is still very serious.

This year's several disasters, such as the drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and the hurricanes and floods in the southern provinces, were still very serious, and the grain allocation was almost unable to do so, causing famine. The cabinet is very worried that in the future, the world will be peaceful, and the population of Daming will only increase, and this food problem will probably become more prominent. In preparation for a rainy day, I respectfully ask the emperor to make a holy judgment as soon as possible to solve the urgent matter.

It is precisely because of this incident that no one in the court objected to the emperor's failure to continue to conquer Jianlu. Because of the continued conquest of Jianlu, it is necessary to prepare for the transportation of military grain to Liaodong, which requires a lot of food. In case of a famine in the country and a large number of deaths, the emperor attaches the most importance to this, and will definitely punish a large number of officials.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew about it for a long time. Because he had already "rewarded" eavesdropping seeds on Xue Guoguan, Empress Zhou, and Cao Huachun a long time ago, even if they didn't tell them, the emperor actually knew about it.

In the original history, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer knew how many people died, even if there were floods in the south and drought in the north, people died almost the same, and the harm of this natural disaster did not seem to be terrible. In addition, the situation in the world was unpredictable this year, and all the history books recorded the change of dynasty, and there was no record of this natural disaster.

But in this plane, the situation is completely different. On the one hand, the population was not lost to the war; Under the disaster prevention and relief, the people can survive, and the population growth will naturally be rapid, and because Zhang Pu verified the preferential exemption of officials and checked the hidden households by the way, it is reasonable that the population will surge.

The same is true, even if there is the credit of the agricultural department, and the Zheng family's fleet buys a large amount of grain from the South Seas, it still makes the rulers of the Ming Dynasty feel worried. I feel that the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, this population has skyrocketed to the extreme, and it is unable to raise more people, and in the next few days, it is likely to cause unnatural deaths again! And if such a thing happens, the emperor will not spare it, and he can only take precautions, at least let the emperor know about it.

For these reasons, this matter is placed in the position of the second play.
