Chapter 137: Resolving Disagreements
Shen Xing was still calm in the face of Lu Xiangsheng's questioning, and saw that he clapped his hands, and a few subordinates walked in very respectfully, and behind them were none other than Chongzhen's children. Several children hid beside Cao Huachun, trembling.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong's hand was tightly grasped on the hem of Princess Changping's skirt, while Yongwang Zhu Cijiong and Princess Zhaoren hid behind Concubine Ling in fear. Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting fell to the ground almost at the same time, Qin Liangyu also trembled and knelt down in the chair, and other nobles and officials cried bitterly for the title of Chongzhen.
Shen Xing sighed and walked in front of Zhu Cihong, Cao Huachun was about to block it, but fortunately, he was stopped by Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, "Eunuch Cao, are you still afraid that Zhenming will hurt His Highness?" Cao Huachun glanced at Luo Yangxing, moved his body and took a few steps back.
"Your Highness, you are ten years old this year! They said they want you to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, are you willing or unwilling? Shen Xing asked in a very calm tone like an ordinary child. Zhu Cihong looked up at Shen Xing and seemed a little scared, he kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, but his little head shook vigorously. When they saw this, they all cried out.
In particular, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting fell on the ground and crawled all the way to Zhu Cihong's feet: "Your Highness, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years cannot be cut off in the hands of you and me!" As the crown prince, you shoulder the great responsibility of the country, and there is no way to avoid it! ”
"Father...... Father said that let's do everything according to Zhenminghou's arrangement...... He also said that he would take care of us! As soon as Zhu Cihong's words came out, Lu Xiangsheng instantly beat his chest excitedly and fell to the ground, Sun Chuanting was also in tears, and the two shouted at the same time: "First Emperor!" How can you do that? The orthodoxy of the royal family can be exiled to the people, how can you be so confused by the selflessness of the heavenly family......"
Concubine Ling's movement was obviously a little inconvenient, but she still walked in small steps in front of everyone, "The two marshals, as well as the humerus ministers of the Ming Dynasty, don't embarrass Your Highness, the first emperor was disheartened at the time, presumably he also saw clearly where there would be an undefeated foundation in the world, he knew that the Ming Dynasty had come to an end, if it wasn't for Zhenming, he would have turned the tide...... You should pity the hearts of parents in the world, Your Majesty is also a father! ”
"Mother, you must not say that! As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be another ......"
"There's still more to come! Are you still the officials of the Ming people? Do you really only see the bloodline of the Zhu family in your eyes, completely ignoring the life and death of the people in the world? In the final analysis, the world is still the people of the world, His Royal Highness has no opinion on the throne and called the emperor Marquis, as I said before, but your set of monarch ideas should also change! ”
Shen Xing's sudden increase in volume surprised everyone, Lu Xiangsheng simply patted his clothes, stood up and faced Shen Xing, his eyes widened and said, "Shen Zhenming, others are afraid that you are handsome, you are not afraid, you want to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes do that Cao Mengde, unless you kill us cleanly!" Otherwise, it's a fool's dream! "Is the Son of Heaven coerced to order the princes? Hehe! Shen Xing learned from Lu Xiangsheng's words, and then couldn't help laughing. What are you laughing at? Isn't that what you're thinking? Sun Chuanting also stood up.
"You think it's cool to be an emperor, just think that I, Shen Xing, want to be too! If that's the case, Young Master, do I need to waste time sitting here with you? Isn't it true that the Son of Heaven has been coerced to make the princes have to have them? Looking at the world, are there any princes who can make me Shen Xing fearful? In terms of prestige and popular opinion, he asked him, can a ten-year-old child compare with me? Are all your people as brainless as you? Whoever can keep them fed and clothed is their son of heaven, you know? ”
After Shen Xing finished speaking excitedly, he pulled Zhu Cihong and Princess Changping to sit on the seats, and the loyal ministers kneeling on the ground may be digesting Shen Xing's words, or they are stimulated by such a vernacular and find it difficult to accept, anyway, no one made a sound for a while.
When they sat down again in despair, Shen Xingyou continued to publish his lofty statement: "The orthodox master of the Zhu family will follow the wishes of the ancestors, their children will always be the royal family of our Chinese Empire, the incense of the temple will not be broken, and the people really need an emperor to admire in their hearts!" As for the country's business, the Chinese Committee is an institution, you have probably heard about it, so you will discuss it according to this rule, I will temporarily lead the position of ** for a few years, but in the future, the Chinese Empire will never be a family. ”
"Who wouldn't say your beautiful words, the trick of changing the soup without changing the medicine, you Shen Houye just said that who dares to go against you in the Ming Dynasty, in the future, the son will succeed his father's business, and it will not be your Shen family's monopoly!" Shen Xing just opened up and said unabashedly, and now Sun Chuanting is also like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Everyone nodded, and Shen Xing unexpectedly nodded, "Sun Dashuai's concerns are not impossible, if there is a promising one among my children, I can really continue to be a child, but in the same way, your children can do it, even if they are peddlers and pawns, as long as they are the children of the Chinese Empire, because every country in the next country must put talent first, and then the blood of the Zhu family, or the blood of the Shen family!" What I Shen Xing want is the real prince and general Xiangning? ”
"Can we Zhu family women also be **?" Princess Taiping didn't know if it was because her brain was open or because Shen Xing's words aroused her inner dream, anyway, she interrupted Shen Xing's words without knowing whether she was alive or dead, and then everyone looked nervously at Shen Xing and this innocent princess and thought about the next scene in their hearts.
The name of Princess Changping, Shen Xing, had only learned a thing or two in Jin Yong's martial arts novels in his previous life, with a tragic fate, strong martial arts, and a one-armed god and nun who walked on the road of anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty all his life, that was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now he suddenly changed to a noble and elegant royal woman sitting beside him, and he really couldn't change it.
Of course, I can't guess what kind of idea the little girl asked such a question based on, is it really Chongzhen's subtle desire for power, but the teenage girl can't talk about any ambition, at most she doubts her new policy.
In the spirit of not hurting the young heart of the flowers of the motherland, Shen Xing replied to her without hesitation: "Of course, the Chinese Empire will no longer discriminate against women in the future, don't you see that General Qin is a living example?" In the future, women can still be county officials and generals...... As long as the ability is strong enough, everyone will be treated equally! ”
"Isn't this a child's trick, it has never been done since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors! It is the lifeblood of the country, and the marshal does not dare to agree! Presumably, all of you here are just like Ben Shuai! Lu Xiangsheng said and looked around, hoping to get support, but no one said anything about half a salary, and even Sun Chuanting was deep in thought.
Shen Xing raised his hand and stretched his waist, and then instructed Gou'er and Wangcai to take a large bundle of materials and distribute them one by one, Lan'er and a few women posted a huge world map on the wall because they were more careful.
"What about Young Master Ben? I really don't want to talk to you too much today, in a word, the Chinese Empire does not raise idlers, even if several of their princes and princesses finish college, they still have to participate in the construction of the country that they are good at, as for you, look at it yourself! Don't be idle, the world is far bigger than you think! ”
Shen Xing said, turned around, took out a wooden stick on the table, and pointed to the map on the wall, "Two marshals, don't think that there is no battle to fight after the surrender of the Manchu Dynasty, look at these places, think about the previous Ming Dynasty's troubles, and be prepared for danger in times of peace!" Franco, the Dutch have attacked our Chinese territory several times...... It's time to fight back! ”
Shen Xing pointed at Wu Sangui with a stick as he spoke, "General Wu, do you now know why Young Master Ben didn't kill you, it's not that I'm afraid of your so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry, but I think you have the ability to fight, the world is not only Kyushu, if you can open up the Chinese Empire and expand the territory, then those old things in the past are not worth mentioning at all, the big husband has the world in his heart, and this wall is the real world!" ”
After Shen Xing finished speaking, Wu Sangui stood up violently and hurriedly walked to the world map and stroked it with his hand. "I didn't expect that the world is so big, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so narrow in this comparison, the last general was really the baby at the bottom of the well before, and he will definitely live up to the Hou Ye in the future, no, it should be to live up to the trust of ** and will definitely sweep the Chinese territory thousands of miles!"
"Good, good! You shouldn't still be thinking about my family now! If you dare to make a move, you will already be splashed on the spot, Young Master Ben really can't bear to let a member like you die in the hands of his own people, your military talent and vision are far better than mine, ambition is sometimes really a double-edged sword, now that the times are different, I hope you put this heart above yourself, don't make mistakes! ”
Shen Xing patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder after speaking, he could imagine the complicated state of mind of this young man who was only twenty-five years old at this time, and he also hoped that such a heart-penetrating conversation would change the trajectory of his life a little. Because in all fairness, it is really possible that Wu Sangui was hacked by Dolgon, whether it is the original history or the present.
Chong Guan was angry and red-faced, how to say that it is also a conversation, isn't it? Hopefully, history will never be repeated. Wu Sangui stayed for a long time until Shen Xing left with the spirit concubines. He, like Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others, opened the information in front of him word by word.
"Military generals are not afraid of death, there are no corrupt officials in the world, the people have fields, merchants go everywhere, natural disasters and floods are governed by law, children are taught for nine years, and they are no longer suffering due to illness......" The text is simple and easy to understand, citing practical examples of humble results in Jiangnan, Shanxi and other places to corroborate, everything is practical and feasible, and it is no longer a boastful talk.
Especially when they saw that the Chinese Empire was going to go on an expedition to poison, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were soldiers in Fusang and other places, couldn't sit still, and the two of them were afraid of the case.
"What a Shen Zhenming, his eyes are so ambitious, this is really a great cause! The barren land of Hainan has turned into fertile land in the blink of an eye! There are also these three northeastern provinces, although Ben Shuai doesn't know what's going on, but it is also a rich place for production! ”
"Yes! Brother Lu, look at what is written in this ocean chapter, the small Ryukyus, and Hong Kong, Macao, and Malacca on this map...... In the future, it can become a military important place, if it is not known today, we will not become sinners through the ages, then the Western Yangyi really has a lot of plans! Shen Zhenming's vision surpasses me for 500 years! The construction of Daming Water Division is urgent! ”
