Chapter 92: Political Foundations

Although Wen Anzhi hurried to Changsha, the news was faster than Wen Anzhi.

When Wen Anzhi had not yet arrived in Changsha.

Emperor Longwu was convening important ministers to discuss the matter.

"The high thief has broken through the ocean barrier and is approaching the stone gate. It is estimated that within three to five days, the soldiers will be in Changde. ”

Longwu said: "Ocean Pass, Shimen, Changde. It's like a bamboo, the summer thief hasn't come yet, and the high thief has already arrived. ”

"I can't even deal with a few thieves, I entrusted you to the scholars, this is how you repay me, do you repay my ancestors and ancestors?"

"A capital offense." Ma Shiying and He Tengjiao knelt down in the lead.

"What's the use of a capital offense?" Longwu said: "What should I do now, Changde must not be lost." ”

The barrier to the north of Changsha is a Dongting Lake, with Yueyang on the east side of the lake and Changde on the west side of the Dongting Lake. The east of Yueyang is mostly mountainous, and the west of Changde is also mostly mountainous. Not conducive to the actions of the Great Army.

The two cities of Yueyang and Changde locked the land and water routes on both sides of Dongting Lake.

These two cities are the barrier north of Changsha.

It is precisely because of this that Longwu is furious.

He Tengjiao said loudly: "The minister recommended a person to guard Changde, and the minister dared to guarantee that there was such a person stationed in Changde, and Changde was foolproof." ”

Longwu's eyes glanced at Ma Shiying, but Ma Shiying didn't speak, and in Longwu's eyes, Ma Shiying lost a lot of points.

Long Wu's eyes turned to He Tengjiao and said, "Who." ”

"Plug Yinxi." He Tengjiao said: "Plug Yinxi served as the prefect of Changsha during the Chongzhen period, and Chongzhen was the first in the 14th year of governance, and was given a banquet by Emperor Yizong, and then transferred to Huguang to participate in politics. In Changsha, he won many victories against thieves. After the Jiashen Change, Du Yinxi talked about military exercises and wanted to avenge Emperor Yizong. Known for knowing soldiers. ”

"Good. Ordered Du Yinxi to serve as the prefect of Changde with the rank of squire of the military department, and the governor of Xiangxi, what he wanted. Tell him to hurry to his post. Longwu said.

"Yes." He Tengjiao immediately found someone to draft the order and quickly conveyed the order, and after getting the order, it was almost too late to resign. He hurried away, he had to fight before he reached Changde. Rushed to Changde.

Immediately, a eunuch outside walked in lightly and said, "Your Majesty---"

"What's the matter, I didn't look at it and was busy." Long Wu was angry, since he ascended the throne, he worked almost every day, and he didn't have a good rest. But now it seems almost useless.

Before the Xia army went south, just the remnants of the thieves were like breaking through the city.

This sense of powerlessness made him thunderous. But there is no way.

The little eunuch fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, and said in great fear: "Your Majesty, you have said that it is you."

Whenever a chartered courtier comes to see you, he must inform you. ”

Long Wu naturally said these words, and the list given was still very large, and all the courtiers of the first level of Shangshu, or the old ministers who had been Shangshu were on the list. There are also some courtiers who are not in Changsha, as long as they rush to Changsha, they only ask to see them.

There are probably more than 100 people on this list.

Long Wu adjusted his breath slightly and said, "Is that Aiqing?" ”

The little eunuch said, "It's Lord Wen'an." ”

After listening to this, Longwu looked back at the screen.

I saw that on the screen behind Emperor Longwu, there were densely written words, all of which were people's names, and they were the courtiers remembered by Longwu. Wen Anzhi's sequence in it was not too high, and Longwu still saw it.

Suddenly remembered, and said, "Please." ”

After a while, Wen Anzhi came in and saluted: "Old Minister Wen Anzhi greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

Emperor Longwu hurriedly stepped forward to support Wen Anzhi and said: "Why should the boss be polite, and now when the society is in danger, it is necessary for the boss to do his best to support him in order to turn the tide." ”

This is a routine line of Emperor Longwu.

After all, when you summon talents, you can still maintain your passion when you meet one or two, but you can still maintain your passion when you summon dozens or hundreds of people per person.

Not everyone can do it.

And now is the moment of crisis, and Emperor Longwu has no intention of summoning the adults, but Wen Anzhi has come from afar, no matter what, he must be comforted first. Let's talk about the rest.

It's just that he didn't know Wen Anzhi's next words, which surprised him.

Wen Anzhi said: "Your Majesty is worried about Gao Yigong, and the minister is from Gao Yigong's army. ”

When Long Wu heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Lord Wen is here on the orders of a thief? ”

When Wen An heard it, he knew that Longwu had some misunderstanding. said: "This matter is a long story, the minister was captured by Li Guo, and learned that he was killed by a thief. There was a gap between the Li thief and the Luo thief, and the high thief came from the northwest, and the minister moved the Li thief with words, but ordered the Li thief to rebel against the Luo thief and join forces with the high thief. With His Majesty's order to appease the rest of the thieves, these people are all here to defect to Your Majesty. It's just that the guards of the sea gate refuse to accept it. before the conflict occurred. ”

Immediately, Wen Anzhi spoke in detail.

As soon as Wen Anzhi said this, Ma Shiying said sharply: "Please cure Wen An's crime." ”

"Wen'an's thief cholera Chudi. Alarm the holy driver, and the sin deserves death. ”

Wen Anzhi said: "Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the old minister to die. But the country is so broken, how to clean it up, the court can recruit good generals, all of them are withered, but there are still brave like General Huang, old and spicy like Liao Guogong, superintendent like Sun Baigu, and resolute like Lu Jiutai. The national disaster is like this, and it is just to employ people without sticking to one pattern. Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Dang Shousu and other generals, although they have the crime of great rebellion, they have been in the army for decades and have repeatedly defeated the official army

, marching thousands of miles and the army is not dispersed, and all are good generals. Take it, it can make up for the shortcomings of the imperial court. Your Majesty only needs a holy decree to get hundreds of thousands of soldiers. What not to do. ”

Ma Shiying said with a serious face: "In this case, where is Emperor Yizong?" In this way, where is the world looking, and where is Your Majesty? The country is so broken, the reason why Your Majesty can stand in the south of the Yangtze River and the king in the south is not because Your Majesty has the merit of size in the world, but the holy virtue of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the grace of Emperor Yizong is not endless. Now that Cao is raging the Yangtze River and ravaging the north, the people of the world are looking forward to His Majesty, which is nothing more than sweeping away the thief atmosphere and returning the world to peace. And His Majesty accepted the remnants of the thieves and lost the hope of the world. The ministers are afraid that the people of the world think that His Majesty is thinner than Yizong. ”

Longwu said angrily: "Presumptuous. ”

Ma Shiying said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes." ”

Ma Shiying said that he was guilty of death, but he knelt straight, so that Longwu had the feeling that he was kneeling, and Ma Shiying was standing.

Longwu was very angry, not because of Ma Shiying's attitude, but because Ma Shiying said that Longwu's shortcomings were true.

Longwu is not in the right position.

First of all, the emperor Longwu was not recognized by the previous emperor, and he was not a descendant of Emperor Shenzong. It's just Yueyang's time. Makeshift.

Longwu's prestige is extremely shallow, which is also the reason why Longwu has been tightening his clothes and food since he ascended the throne, and the palace maids and eunuchs have been dismissed. Show the world to be thrifty. He summoned ministers day and night and trained his soldiers. Promote generals.

In this way, isn't it to improve his prestige and let the people of the world know that he is a promising king, and only then will someone be used by him. In fact, how similar is it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen has done too many wrong things in his life, it is simply countless.

But why Chongzhen has always been remembered by later generations is of course the tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - the government is unpopular. There is also Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost morally absent in his life.

His food is not heavy, his body is not overwhelmed, and he is diligent day and night. I don't talk about my ability, but I have a perfect score in my attitude.

Even if it is written temporarily, it is "Do not hurt the people." ”

In modern times, morality is almost hypocritical, but in ancient times it was very cohesive.

Longwu must use such a posture to face the gentry everywhere and sit firmly in the position of the emperor.

And now accepting the remnants of Li Zicheng, he is obviously sorry for Chongzhen, and Chongzhen's prestige in this era is quite large, which means that this will damage the prestige of Longwu.

It can even shake the political foundation of Longwu.

Ma Shiying and He Tengjiao have no political cleanliness, and the reason why they oppose it so fiercely is because it is too harmful. It is so big that it can't be ignored, and in the late Southern Ming Dynasty, there were still conflicts and contradictions between the civilian system of the Ming Dynasty and the remnants of the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army, the military system of the Southern Ming Dynasty at that time.

This situation is not explained simply by saying that they are short-sighted. It would be strange to put forward an opinion at this moment if there was no opposition.
