Chapter 110: The Second Day of Heaven (9)
Chongzhen's series of actions, although at the beginning of the group of magnates caught off guard, it has been many days now, after the initial consternation, all forces began to collude with each other, huddle together for warmth, no one is a fool, those who were driven out of their own territory by Chongzhen, unwilling to lose their own power, those who want to do some small actions are chopped up by the robbers who were killed halfway, one or two unlucky people meet the bandits, but as long as there are those who oppose Chongzhen's intentions, they are all cut down, and the obedient ones are fine, This is too obvious, everyone knows who did it, under the threat of Chongzhen, a large number of powerful people began to unite in order to resist Chongzhen's liquidation.

"Little Emperor, it's really too much of a deception, let him be so arrogant, but there is still a chance for us to live" In a secret room in the south, many powerful people of the Ming Dynasty secretly gathered here.
"Yes, this time he dared to do it to the entire Northland, who knows when there will suddenly be a big purge in the South, if the situation really comes to that point, then I don't know how many of you who are doing it can come back here again, the group of people in the Northland, what is the end, I think everyone has seen it, if you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, it is best to come up with a way to limit the rights of the little emperor" For Chongzhen's ruthlessness, everyone present also rushed to have a headache Just like this party, if it wasn't for Chongzhen's persecution too much, Wait for someone who has time to run here and plan these headless things.
"It's easy to limit the rights of the little emperor, how to limit it, now the little emperor has full wings, not only has hundreds of thousands of troops, but also a group of old ministers and a large number of newly promoted scholars to support, what do you use to restrict him" Restrict the rights of an emperor with real power, I don't know what to think, and you can't look for death.
"If it was possible to restrict the rights of the little emperor when he first ascended the throne, but now after the killing of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony and the purge of the northern land, the remaining officials in the court and the northern land are either old stubborn and new scholars who are loyal to the little emperor, or they are frightened, and the little nobles who dare not speak out even if their own interests are harmed, in this situation, who do you think would dare to stand up against the little emperor, don't mention this bad idea." An old man who seemed to be very powerful in this group of people directly rejected the unfortunate proposal.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you talk about what to do when you arrive, you can't just wait for the little emperor to do it to us, it's really at that time, none of you who are doing it can run away" Seeing that after discussing for a long time and not coming up with a plan, the old man who proposed to restrict Chongzhen's rights began to lose his breath, not that he didn't have a city government, but Chongzhen did too much, and he found an excuse to cut it openly, and if he couldn't find an excuse, he dealt with it secretly, anyway, he didn't give people a way to live, and when he met this kind of emperor, did he really have to give up everything he had, Then kneel at the other party's feet and wait for the other party's grace.
"You haven't found that the little emperor is very similar to a person, I have long heard that the little emperor has the legacy of Taizu, looking at what he did after ascending the throne and how similar it was to the original treatment of his subordinates by Taizu of this dynasty, especially how similar the means of sacrificing to the heavens and cleaning the north are similar to the original Hu Weiyong case, it is impossible for a character with such a character to always compromise with others" Hearing this person's words, everyone present flashed scenes during Taizu's reign.
It was the darkest period of the entire Ming Dynasty, in the face of Taizu's magnates living like dogs, as long as Taizu was rarely unhappy, he dragged it out and cut it without saying a word, this situation was not until decades after Taizu's death, the magnates lived out as individuals, especially when they met several emperors who did nothing later, it was simply the gospel of all the magnates, directly let the magnates live like dogs during the reign of Taizu, and raised pigs after Taizu's death.
"This is true, if there is really the legacy of Taizu, it will be troublesome, and we will not have the slightest possibility of compromise in the face of such a character" If you really encounter the existence of Zhu Yuanzhang who peels the skin of the ministers at every turn, then everything you did was found out, and it is estimated that none of you will be able to escape Ling Chi's fate.
"Looking at what the little emperor did, it is estimated that it can't be wrong, and now, everyone still don't have a fluke in their hearts, and I want to say, if you have the opportunity, just don't do it" After speaking, he made a head-killing action on his neck.
"Now the little emperor stays in the palace study all day long to review the folds, except for the northern patrol of the mountain customs, I didn't see him go out, the place of action is not chosen, if you want to do it to Chongzhen in the palace, you can't get around Sun Chuanting, Wang Chengen, these two are Chongzhen's henchmen, one leads the army to sit in Beijing, the other is in charge of the palace, whether it is a rebellion or a poison assassination, as long as these two people are there, our people can't enter the palace at all" Chongzhen has always taken his life very seriously, in order to completely control the city of Beijing, After finding out that Jingying was penetrated, they were willing to burn it, and these people wanted to assassinate him, how could it be so easy, and they didn't want to think about the 829 emperors in Chinese history, 60 of them died unexpectedly, but most of them were killed by powerful ministers, eunuchs, and children, and the cause of death was either a coup d'état or a change of dynasty. It seems that no one has actually died in the assassination attempt by the assassins.
"Since the assassination can't be accomplished, then the only way to learn from the actions of King Yan back then, launch a rebellion against Jingnan, and when the little emperor dies in the war, you can choose to support a prince to ascend the throne as the emperor."
"It's just that even if we join forces, coupled with the response of the magnates from all over the country, and gather the battleable soldiers in the entire southern Ming Dynasty, it is only 200,000 people, how to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops controlled by the little emperor" Originally, the combat effectiveness of the southern army was not the opponent of the north, and now the gap in military strength is too big.
"Our southern army is inferior to the north, but the little emperor's enemy is not only us, whether it is the group of Jurchen savages at the border pass, or the group of mud-legged peasant army in Shanxi, we can contact us, I don't believe they will refuse"
"Yes, the Jurchens still have contact information on our Jin merchants' side, as long as they raise troops in the south, Huang Taiji will inevitably lead the army to knock on the customs and respond to us" This is a remnant of Jin Shang, Jin Shang has developed for hundreds of years, and the clansmen are all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is Jinyiwei, it is difficult to completely eliminate that group of dead remnants in a short period of time.
"The enemies of the little emperor are far more than these, the group of Dutch and the major pirate commanders on the sea have been peeping at the richness of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and only a small profit is enough to make the group of Dutch and pirates pay for it," a maritime merchant added.
The group of people happily discussed how to besiege Chongzhen, but no one found the ventilation port in the secret room, and I don't know when there was a thin copper pipe.
