Volume 3 Chapter 1 Recruit Zhang Bin to return to Beijing
The wheels of history are rolling forward, Zhang Bin's ability at this time is limited, and he can't change its course, after all, the apocalypse still drank the elixir spirit dew drink offered by Huo Weihua, his whole body swelled, and he died violently!
Brother and brother, the seventeen-year-old King Zhu Youzhen inherited the unification and ascended the throne as emperor.
However, his succession to the throne was not very smooth, because after the apocalypse died violently, Wei Zhongxian actually ordered someone to block the news and keep it a secret!
Fortunately, Queen Zhang Yan was clever and secretly sent someone to notify the British Duke Zhang Weixian, asking him to help and help King Xin ascend the throne.
Zhang Weixian usually doesn't interfere in politics, whether you fight the eunuch party in Donglin, or kill Donglin in the eunuch party, the emperor doesn't speak, he won't look at it.
However, at this time, the emperor has died, and you, Wei Zhongxian, are still in secret, so he has to take care of it.
The country cannot be without a king for a day, no matter what, you have to hand over the edict and let King Xin succeed to the throne.
Wei Zhongxian picked up the Donglin Party and those civil servants who came to capture it easily, but he really didn't dare to blow up the British Duke, the first dignitary of the Ming Dynasty, because he couldn't do it!
The Jinyi Guard and Dongchang Fanzi under his command add up to how much, 30,000 are dead, the British Gongna is in charge of the Beijing camp, and there are 72 guards in the Beijing camp, no matter how serious the shortage is, more than 100,000 people can still be pulled out, and the British Gonggang, that is looking for death.
As a result, Wei Zhongxian obediently handed over the edict, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, finally succeeded to the throne under the support of the British Duke Zhang Weixian, becoming the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of Chongzhen's succession, it was called a frightened person, the Manchu Dynasty was a eunuch, and the eunuchs in the palace were even more eunuchs, he didn't even dare to eat the things in the palace, and after the British people withdrew at night, he didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that as soon as he fell asleep, his head would be gone.
This is not a joke, his brother Tianqi died unexplained, and his three nephews also died unexplained, he didn't want to follow the unclear.
It is rumored that Wei Zhongxian once joked: "If the emperor wants to kill me, it is enough to send a jailer." ”
If Chongzhen believed him, then he would be stupid.
Maybe as soon as the jailer was sent out, there would be news in the palace that Emperor Chongzhen was seriously ill, and immediately after, an immortal medicine went down, and he ascended to heaven.
This is not a joke, you must know that his father Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo and his imperial brother Mingxizong Zhu Youxiao both died in the hands of immortal medicine.
And Cui Wensheng, who couldn't take care of himself in the life of Guangzong, who was pulled by laxatives, and Xizong, who was taking immortal medicine, were swollen all over, and Huo Weihua, who died violently, were all Wei Zhongxian's right-hand men at this time.
provoked Father-in-law Wei, first asked Cui Wensheng to give him a dose of laxative, pulled him to death, and then asked Huo Weihua to sacrifice a bottle of immortal medicine, and he died violently after eating it, this kind of thing, Father-in-law Wei has done it once, are you still afraid of the second time, anyway, the Manchu Dynasty is a eunuch, afraid of a fart!
Therefore, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he did not shout and kill Wei Zhongxian like a fool, but gave him and his cronies an official and a knight, and praised them well, praising them as the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty!
What Wei Zhongxian's thoughts are at this time is also a mystery for the ages.
It is rumored that he is ready to rebel, become the emperor himself, and make his nephew Wei Liangqing the crown prince!
This rumor is not unfounded, because the three princes of the Apocalypse all died inexplicably, and the Apocalypse also died inexplicably, and even the queen who was pregnant with the prince was aborted by him and the Hakka family!
And he, who proclaimed himself 9,900 years old, added his nephew Wei Liangqing to the title of Duke of Ningguo, and asked Wei Liangqing to replace the Apocalypse to worship the heavens.
This meaning is already obvious, as soon as the apocalypse dies, he will be nine thousand nine hundred years old and one hundred years old, can't he be a long live?
His nephew Wei Liangqing was promoted from Ningguo Gong to the crown prince, can't he?
Perhaps, he thinks it's okay, but he missed the letter king Zhu Youzhen, and even more missed the British public Zhang Weixian.
Or perhaps, he didn't think about rebellion at all, Tianqi and the three princes were really accidents.
Anyway, at this time, he is indeed in power, and it is almost impossible for Chongzhen to clean him up, so Chongzhen chose to appease and paralyze him.
The pacification and paralysis seemed to be very successful, Wei Zhongxian did not move, and both sides had a tacit understanding to maintain a delicate balance and not to break it.
At this time, Chongzhen is good to Wei Zhongxian, but there is one point, the folds are no longer reviewed by Wei Zhongxian, but by himself.
In his words, he was afraid that Gonggong Wei would be tired.
Of course, Gonggong Wei is not afraid of being tired, but the emperor insists on reviewing it himself, and he can't fight against him in person, so he can only play some tricks.
For example, many of the folds on Chongzhen are difficult to approve, you approve it, anyway, I handed it over, I asked them to pick out the ones that can't be solved for you, see if you approve it!
On this day, Chongzhen was frowning in the imperial study and looking at the folds, his face was full of clouds.
Some of these twists and turns can't be criticized at all!
For example, Tusi An Bangyan rebelled, and the guards of Yunnan and Guizhou asked the imperial court to mobilize a large army and organize encirclement and suppression.
It's been more than a year, and it hasn't been solved yet, Wei Zhongxian's meaning, no money, no one!
For example, the soldiers of the 13th Battalion of Liaodong asked for payment of salaries because they had not been paid for three months.
How to approve this, Gonggong Wei has already said that at this time, the treasury has no money.
For example, Qiao Yingjia, the governor of Shaanxi, Wang Er, a Baishui farmer, Chongguangdao, etc., gathered a crowd to rebel and asked the imperial court to send a large army to conquest.
Still no money, no one.
For another example, the Fujian capital commanded Hong Xianchun to report to the city, the pirate Zheng Zhilong occupied the Zhongzuo office, the pirate Liu Xiang coerced the Wan'an office, and the pirate Li Kuiqi coerced the Chongwu office, and asked the imperial court to organize a large army to encircle and suppress it.
Still no money, no one!
The Ming Dynasty is full of smoke, and the eunuchs are rampant in the court, what should I do?
Chongzhen rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly: "Companion, come and see, is there any way?" ”
Accompanying on the side, it was Cao Huachun, as soon as Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he sent someone to quickly whip him and Wang Chengen back from Jinling, at this time it was they who took care of Chongzhen's diet and daily life, and there were two people to test him for drugs, so he dared to eat things in the palace and sleep in the palace!
When Cao Huachun heard this, he stepped forward respectfully and picked up the fold and looked at it.
Yungui is a mountain with a long road, and the court has no money and no one, what can be done!
The thirteenth battalion in Liaodong is still out of money!
Shaanxi Baishui peasants rebelled, but there was still no money and no one!
Fujian pirate Zheng Zhilong occupies the center left!
Seeing this twist, Cao Huachun's eyes lit up.
Before he returned to the capital, Zhang Bin happened to mention to him that the pirates in his hometown of Fujian were very fierce at this time, and he really wanted to lead the army to exterminate the pirates and protect the peace of his hometown!
Cao Huachun said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows a person in Jinling, and he may be able to solve the problem of Fujian." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he was slightly excited: "Oh, who is it? ”
Cao Huachun respectfully introduced Zhang Bin's situation, especially when Zhang Bin was the county governor, he personally led the township to repel pirates.
When Chongzhen heard this, he didn't immediately give an order, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Quickly send someone to pass on my message, and recruit Zhang Bin, a member of the staff of the Southern Capital Military Department, to return to Beijing, I have something to ask him." “
