In fact, the thieves and thieves did not become the biggest gangster leaders because of their great ability, and they destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and Gao Yingxiang, Shen Yikui, Zijin Liang, Wang Jiayin and other anti-bone boys before them were not necessarily worse than them.

It's because these two bastards have a big life, the bones of the earliest thieves who rebelled were short-lived, and the thieves and thieves failed repeatedly and were not killed, so that they accumulated experience in rebellion for more than ten years.

It is also due to the wanton killing and destruction of thieves from all walks of life, which makes the life of the common people of the Ming Dynasty more and more difficult year by year, resulting in the income of the imperial court not getting as good as year by year, and the rogues have obtained more areas that are easy to grow and are getting stronger and stronger.

To be able to respond to a hundred calls is not that the thieves and thieves have personal charm and talent, but that the people who are suffering deeply are really forced to be cornered.

Year after year, the giant of Daming, who was constantly bleeding, was finally captured by the thieves and those men and horses whose combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning, and the capital fell with a bang.

Huang Han thought that even if he was lucky, he would be able to kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others this time, and the general climate of the displaced people at the end of the Ming Dynasty would not change fundamentally.

At that time, there will naturally be other thieves who will be able to stand out, and maybe the level will be higher than the second thief, such as Li Guo and Li Dingguo, who may be stronger than the sacrifice thief and the thief.

The key is that the Ming government must do something, so that tens of millions of displaced people can get rations, be able to farm, and see hope, instead of being bewitched by the lies that the thieves "don't pay for food" and completely rely on robbery.

But it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect those scholars and doctors who are stupid to read the books of sages and sages to awaken.

Historically, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were exhausted, the soldiers were tired and the people were poor, the treasury was like washing, and Chongzhen, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, called on officials to help pay and borrow money from the emperor's relatives and nobles.

However, the magnates were insensitive one by one, and very few were willing to pay a thousand taels of silver, and the household department only received a hundred thousand taels of silver, which was a drop in the bucket.

Li Zicheng captured the capital, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty, and the anxious thieves immediately exposed the nature of the robbers, arrested the civil and military generals, and tortured the nobles, enough to make gold and silver treasures worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

Huang Han looked at the emperor, who was two months younger than him but had signs of decay before he was old, and his eyes showed sympathy, and he hated to persuade him not to do the drudgery of the emperor, and persuaded him to simply eat, drink and have fun every day, and simply leave the state affairs to himself.

Why bother, in the end, he was busy with the destruction of the Jiangshan Sheji that had lasted for more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, killed his young daughter with a sword, cut off the left arm of Princess Kunxing, his wife and sister-in-law hanged themselves, and the harem concubines and all their sons died without exception.

There are really not many eunuchs who dare to look directly at the emperor, Huang Han is probably rare, Chongzhen inadvertently looked at Huang Han, and he noticed the strangeness in Huang Han's eyes.

Huang Han did not avoid the gaze of the Son of Heaven, he said earnestly: "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult the state affairs are, you should not be demanding perfection, take time to spend more time with your family to put state affairs aside for a while, and relaxing and relaxing is more conducive to maintaining a calm mind, so as not to be deceived by people with ulterior motives." ”

Wang Chengen, who had been waiting, saw Huang Han speak like this, and beads of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead, thinking that this stunned young man really had no scruples! Dare to teach the emperor how to do things.

Huang Han is really kind, he didn't dare to persuade Chongzhen to give up, he could only persuade him not to be so diligent, a person with mediocre talent holds power but must bow down to everything, and the direct consequence is that it is better not to do more mistakes than to do more.

Chongzhen saw Huang Han's sympathetic eyes and mistakenly thought that Huang Han cared about him, worried that he was too tired, and smiled:

"Aiqing's intentions I know, as long as I can exterminate the Liukou and usher in peace in the world, I will be able to work hard, and in another two or three years, I will appoint Aiqing to sweep away the Eastern Slave as the general."

The emperor's promise is not simple, and only a few people in the Ming Dynasty can become generals with civil and military systems, which is still an old thing more than 200 years ago.

Huang Han had to kneel down again and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the minister has been loyal to the country since he died!" ”

The plan in his chest was implemented, Chongzhen was relieved, his face showed tiredness, Huang Han retired very interestingly, and gave up the plan to rub the royal meal and chat with the emperor while eating.

He strode out of the Forbidden City, and found that it was extremely lively outside, a large group of generals and eunuchs were waiting, and the leader Fang Zhenghua's pale face smiled into a flower.

Immediately, I saw many familiar faces, including Li Ruolian, Lou Yun, Zhang Chao, as well as Jingying, Jinyiwei, and many generals who were all in silly.

Fang Zhenghua stepped forward and said, "General Pingliao is really loyal and patriotic, and he came to Beijing without delay for a moment to meet His Majesty. It's so bad that our family and everyone have been waiting for a long time. ”

Li Ruolian said loudly: "Only General Pingliao will be like this, can it be like this, and other civil officials and military generals will be able to get the grace summoned by the Son of Heaven as soon as they come to the capital?" Will you play with the Son of Heaven for such a long time? ”

At this time, two people came to the Forbidden City, namely Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

The emperor knew that after Huang Han saw him, he should get together with old acquaintances who had fought with Fang Zhenghua, Li Ruolian and others, and motioned for the two confidants and eunuchs to also participate, so Wang and Cao followed.

Cao Hua Chunle said: "Why does Lord Li still call General Pingliao, it's time to change his name to Dongping Hou." There are very few people who have been knighted over the years, and our family is the Marquis of Dongping! ”

Huang Han hurriedly said: "The prime minister is polite, this lord can have today's favor of the Son of Heaven, Gonggong Cao, Gonggong Wang, Gonggong Fang and all of you to raise love!" Benjue wants to invite everyone to go to the city that never sleeps to buy drunk, and I don't know if the princes are willing to appreciate their faces. ”

Fang Zhenghua laughed and said: "We've been waiting here for almost two hours, I just want to accompany Hou Ye to have fun, of course we have to go." ”

Li Ruolian said: "Today's city that never sleeps is amazing, too many people want to go and feel shy in their pockets, Dongping Hou invites the brothers to go there to play, we can't ask for it!" This time, we must play a full set. ”

Huang Han bowed his hand to Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun: "I don't know if the two prime ministers are on duty tonight, are you willing to let Benjue be the east?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "Our family just wants to hear the Hou Gao of Dongping to tell the emperor about leave, just waiting for the Hou Ye to speak!" ”

Huang Han said: "Then what are you waiting for? This is going out of the city! Don't save money for Benjue, call the brothers who are good friends, it's rare to get together, let's not get drunk today. ”

When I came to the restaurant, in order for everyone to be able to sit together and have a lively time, I did not choose a private room, but sat down in a flower hall with six large round tables, and Fang Zhenghua introduced new faces to Huang Han one by one.

Fang Zhenghua now has a transcendent status, he is a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and his status in Beijing is very important, plus he is a great eunuch with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and he can fight on horseback, and there are few people in the Beijing camp who are not convinced.
