Chapter 273: Flipping the Table
Emperor Chongzhen's face was gloomy, and every word was hammered into the hearts of those present like a sledgehammer.
The tears in Wang Zongguang's eyes could no longer be stopped, not only for the death of his wife, not only for Emperor Chongzhen to remember himself, but also for Emperor Chongzhen's sentence that he could not let the soldiers shed blood and tears.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't intend to let go of Liu Zongzhou or these literati who thought about chasing three generations all day long, so he just continued: "People's hearts are always long, right? It's just a stone, and it will be hot if you hold it in your arms?
But what about the soldiers? Fighting bloody battles on the front line, let you wait for a stable environment to study, scold the streets, talk about the government, and slander the king, but how do you repay these soldiers?
scolded them as martial artists and looked down on them, and the former Song Dynasty simply treated them as prisoners, and tattooed them on their faces.
Every time you can't win a war with the outside world, you say that it is the responsibility of the generals and soldiers, but why don't you want to think about it, why do you ask the soldiers to fight for a person who can't even give the least respect? ”
At this time, don't talk about Liu Zongzhou, even Wen Tiren covered his face with his sleeves, and Emperor Chongzhen's words were too ruthless.
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the actions of Wen Tiren and Liu Zongzhou, and just continued: "All dynasties will be destroyed by weakness, and only Han will be destroyed by strength." After three points, Cao Cao was still able to chase Wuhuan north, and the reason for this really didn't know?
I'm afraid that it's not that you don't know, but that you don't know? The status of the military generals is high, and you feel that the power in your hands is about to become less, and it will become unelegant, and there are also traitors gathering in the court, which does not meet the scene of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty that you are looking forward to? ”
Zhang Zhiji and Wang Zongguang and other martial artists were already fierce at this time, staring at Liu Zongzhou viciously, as long as Emperor Chongzhen gave an order, Liu Zongzhou would inevitably be in the rhythm of the corpse.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Liu Zongzhou, I originally saw that I had written a book to talk about the disaster of party strife, and I originally thought that you were also a reasonable person, but I never thought that you were just thinking about what to Fa Yaoshun, although you have a lot of blood, you used it in the wrong place!"
That's it, since you beg for bones, then you will give up, and then you will study and learn, and you don't want to be an official again. ”
Liu Zongzhou smiled miserably and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen." ”
After Liu Zongzhou retreated, Emperor Chongzhen commanded: "Wang Chengen, draft an edict, and after that, the guards of the Ming Dynasty, except for the courtesy in the army, will not worship the civil officials!"
Where there is a case involving the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in service, the military law is not used by the Ming law. This order, Jinyiwei, and the East and West Investigation Factories are the same. ”
Wen Tiren was in a hurry when he heard this.
Emperor Chongzhen made it clear that he wanted to completely separate the military and the government, and he wanted to elevate the status of the warriors to check and balance the civil ministers.
This is not just a question of which side Emperor Chongzhen prefers, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen has always been biased towards the military generals and nobles, this is a clear matter.
No one can expect an emperor who always likes to lead troops to go out to war.
But Emperor Chongzhen's method really touched the bottom line of all civil officials, even if he agreed shamelessly, but what about waiting for tomorrow's court meeting? How many people will choose Wise?
In fact, Wen Tiren cares more about his own life than the loss of the interests of civil officials.
If he was just scolded as a traitor by other officials or something, Wen Tiren could completely say that Lao Tzu didn't care.
But what if Emperor Chongzhen is like the first emperor......
At the very least, I will definitely be unlucky.
As the saying goes, once the Son of Heaven is a courtier, who can expect that the next Son of Heaven will treat himself like the current Emperor Chongzhen?
Not to mention anything else, just the attack of other ministers in the DPRK and China can kill you all over the house!
After pondering for a while, Wen Tiren bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, how can the guards be independent of the Great Ming Law?" The minister thought that it would be better to revise the provisions of the Ming Law, strengthen the protection of the relatives and individuals of the soldiers, and grant certain privileges. ”
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what Wen Tiren was thinking, so he snorted coldly at the moment: "What, Wen Aiqing thinks it's inappropriate?" ”
Wen Tiren had no choice but to give up: "Your Majesty, the stakes are very important here, please play it alone." ”
Not only Wen Tiren reacted, but even Zhu Chunchen, who had just been ordered by Emperor Chongzhen on the side, also reacted.
Although Zhu Chunchen said that he had a lot of complaints about Emperor Chongzhen's refusal to reuse himself, no matter what, he was regarded as a nobleman, and his interests and civil officials were never on the same line.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen is so dead, Zhu Chunchen is also anxious, in case the emperor is like Zhengde and the first emperor, if he says no, it will be gone, and the next emperor will not be able to do it, and he will completely fall to the Wenchen family.
After all, there are few emperors in history who are as fast as Emperor Chongzhen and turn their faces faster than turning books.
Zhu Chunchen also arched his hand at the moment and said: "Your Majesty, please play with Elder Wen Ge." ”
Zhu Chunchen understands Wen Tiren's reputation, and then looks at Wen Tiren's anxious appearance now, combined with what Emperor Chongzhen just said, you can know what Wen Tiren is anxious about.
Although Emperor Chongzhen hated these unlucky civil officials in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen also saw the treacherous Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen's performance.
After the people in the hall waited for the time being, Emperor Chongzhen took Zhu Gang, Fang Zhenghua and others to the back hall.
Seeing that Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen had already followed, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Order people to guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to approach within fifty steps." ”
Zhu Gang took the order and left, leaving only the expressionless Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen standing behind Emperor Chongzhen like a wooden man.
Zhu Chunchen still doesn't know what Fang Zhenghua's status is, but Wen Tiren is very clear, as long as Emperor Chongzhen gets up, Fang Zhenghua, the dead eunuch, will follow Emperor Chongzhen like a shadow, more than Wang Chengen has been by Emperor Chongzhen's side.
Ignoring Fang Zhenghua, Wen Tiren even bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty please take back your order, otherwise chaos will be in front of you." ”
Seeing Wen Tiren's solemn words, Zhu Chunchen also hurriedly spoke: "The minister seconded the proposal, please ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order." ”
Seeing that Wen Tiren, who is old and treacherous and has always taken his own opinions as his guideline, and Zhu Chunchen, who has always been wise and wise, are all saying this, Emperor Chongzhen is also right: "Reason, I need a reason." ”
Wen Tiren bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't you see the matter of Emperor Wuzong and the first emperor?"
Emperor Wuzong and the first emperor were not frail, but after all, they were taken advantage of by villains, and their hard work and ambitions went to the east.
The minister thought that although His Majesty's heart was good, he was in a hurry, and he was afraid that something unbearable would happen. ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, but did not speak.
Wen Tiren is right, once this step is taken, it will really be right with all the civil officials in the entire Ming officialdom.
And what these crazy civil officials will do, you can know with your ass if you think about it.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, Zhu Chunchen was also anxious in his heart, and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the disease of the Ming Dynasty is not in the skin, but in the stomach and intestines, and will be to the bone marrow."
Now His Majesty is like a doctor, if the medicine is too strong, I am afraid that it will become the medicine of the tiger and wolf, not only will it not cure the disease, but I am afraid that it will also hinder the patient. ”
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Chunchen unexpectedly.
It's really not easy to make this kind of old fox say such heart-wrenching words, but I'm afraid that his thoughts are also somewhat true.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen is quite dissatisfied.
Don't say that you are ruthless, you can finally take this opportunity to do such a big thing, how can you give up easily?
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face was cloudy, Wen Tiren also guessed a few points, and immediately arched his hand again: "The minister knows that His Majesty is well-guarded, but all the officials are benevolent, what can they do?"
Your Majesty has a knife in his hand, which can kill one person, but can kill ten thousand? That is, Your Majesty can slaughter all the officials in the world, and who will be the herdsmen for Your Majesty? ”
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a while.
Wen Tiren was right.
At the beginning of his crossing, he thought that he could solve the civilian system by killing people.
The fact is also as I expected, with the siege of the Huangtaiji army, the white pole soldiers and factory guards in hand, I really had a good time.
But that's all based on the fact that he hasn't really touched the bottom of these civil officials.
And the bottom limit of these civil officials, one is the problem of the gentry paying taxes as a whole, and the other is the problem of elevating the status of military generals.
Even if it was a martyr's shrine built before, it was just an opportunity to act, and now if the military generals and nobles system is completely stripped from the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will really boil the sky.
Emperor Chongzhen habitually bent his fingers and knocked on the table for a long time before suddenly making a decision.
Fuck it, when did Lao Tzu become so cowardly?
Isn't it just dismissal, without the county order, Lao Tzu will not promote those old officials? Without the governor of Fu Yin, Lao Tzu will not be promoted step by step?
It's just a mess in the world.
Morning chaos and evening chaos are all chaos, anyway, you have to overturn and start over, Lao Tzu won't grind his teeth with you!
It was a very difficult decision.
The Jiannu in Liaodong was disturbed by Mao Wenlong's attack at this time, Lin Dan juice in the north was killed by his own immortals, and the rebellion in Shaanxi was just a disease of scabies.
Coupled with the mechanization process that the steam engine can bring about in the future, which the Royal Academy has been studying, and the high-yield crops can be cultivated to solve the Ming Dynasty's food shortage worries, it can be said that as long as the Ming Dynasty does not have too much chaos now, it can basically be regarded as stable.
It is precisely this decision of Emperor Chongzhen that can easily poke out the big basket.
Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face changed from uncertain to resolute, and they had a bad heart.
This master is really a master who does not listen to persuasion, depending on the situation, this is going to be hard.
Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen speak lightly: "The two Aiqing don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind."
Wen is literature, and martial arts is martial arts. Martial arts is the way of chaotic countries, and using literature to control martial arts is also the chaos of chaotic countries. In the future, the civil and military will be divided. ”
Wen Tiren wanted to persuade him again, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't give him this opportunity at all, got up and walked out of the door.
Looking up at the sun that was about to set, Emperor Chongzhen said in his heart that if this Ming Dynasty did not set first like this sun, how could there be the light of the rising sun!
Having made up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen no longer hesitated, and strode towards the main hall.
After Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the main hall and sat down, Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen also followed, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Wang Chengen, inform the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to hold a great court meeting tomorrow." Those who fail to do so will be dismissed from their posts and held accountable.
In addition, after a while, the Beijing camp took over the city defense, and all those who had official positions in the capital were allowed to enter and not leave regardless of civil and military honors, and those who violated the law were sentenced to prison and punished for disobedience.
My previous will remains unchanged, as it is drafted, and will be made clear to the world after tomorrow's court meeting. ”
Emperor Chongzhen's series of wills were very dazzling, but Wang Chengen and Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said, "Obey the order." ”
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to Wei Zhongxian: "Zhongxian, I haven't taken care of Daming yet, and I can't go to see the imperial brother so early." When you go back, tell Tian Ergeng that my safety will be in your hands. ”
Since the last time he was thrown to Shaanxi by Emperor Chongzhen, this is the second time that Emperor Chongzhen has shown such trust in himself, and he trusts him with his life.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen mentioned the Emperor of the Apocalypse again, Wei Zhongxian's eyes turned red at that time, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the slave maid lives for one day, I don't think that anyone can be unfavorable to Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled with satisfaction: "Sure enough, before leaving, the imperial brother said that you can entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and you really deserve it, and it is not in vain that the imperial brother cultivates you." ”
At this time, the second prince of the hall, who was tied up sturdily, had been dizzy by this change.
The ups and downs of life are really fucking exciting. first inexplicably ran out of a nephew of a British public family who couldn't get along with him, and then turned into an emperor.
The conscience of heaven and earth, a little person like himself will see the emperor one day? Although it is said that he is about to die?
And it seems that because of his death, Daming is very likely to have a big mess? Even the emperor's life could be in danger?
The Sprinkle family is really fucking worth it in this life!
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the second prince of Wang, and looked at Wang Zongguang with a smile: "How is it, are you satisfied with the explanation I gave you?" ”
Although Wang Zongguang is honest, he is not a fool, and the series of wills issued by Emperor Chongzhen before, he can probably feel what kind of risks are contained in them.
Now that His Majesty and the Emperor want to give himself an explanation, even if he risks the chaos in the world but does not change his original intention, what else does he have to say?
Wang Zongguang had red eyes, and he didn't wipe the tears on his face, so he didn't care what Emperor Chongzhen said just now, and knelt down on the ground and bowed: "How can you be so loved by Your Majesty?" ”
