Volume 8 Chapter 26 Chongzhen's godson

The so-called nature of the country is easy to change, and once some bad habits are formed, it is really difficult to get rid of them, and it is even more difficult than changing hands.

Chongzhen is such a typical example, until the Ming Dynasty died and the country changed hands, his suspicious nature still did not change.

Now, Da Ming has not faced the disaster of losing his country, and he naturally will not reflect on his character flaws, but at this time he will give full play to his suspicious nature.

He began to suspect that Zhang Bin wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty by controlling the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Zhang Bin really wanted to control the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but he did not want to seize the Ming Dynasty, but to continue the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes the impression of people is like a habit, once it is formed, it is difficult to change, Zhang Bin is not Cao Cao, Cao Cao is Luo Rucai's nickname.

However, since Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong and Tang Shiji joined forces to slander Zhang Bin in front of him, saying that Zhang Bin was a hero like Cao Cao, Chongzhen had formed such an impression that Zhang Bin was a hero like Cao Cao!

This impression has never been changed, even if he had to use Zhang Bin again, he was saying that he would no longer believe in the nonsense of those traitorous villains, but he was thinking in his heart that Wen Tiren was a traitorous villain, and there was nothing wrong with it, but what they said that Zhang Bin was a Cao Cao-like hero, and it was not wrong.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Chongzhen has always appointed traitors in history, because traitors and villains will only flatter one person in front of him, without distinguishing between right and wrong, without distinguishing between right and wrong, without principles, and without bottom lines; But Zhang Bin is principled and has a bottom line, and if he wants him to distinguish between right and wrong, right from wrong, and blindly curry favor with Chongzhen, he really can't do it.

Chongzhen is such a person, what's wrong with the traitorous villain, as long as he "obeys" him, he still dares to use it; Zhang Bin, this guy, sometimes just doesn't listen to him, he just doesn't want to use this kind of person, this kind of person, he just wants to beware, not only must beware, but the prince Zhu Cihong must also beware!

Now, the crown prince Zhu Cihong seems to have been "bewitched" by Zhang Bin, and he is fighting with Zhang Bin, so it will definitely not work!

Therefore, on the afternoon of the prince's return, Chongzhen said to Cao Huachun: "Companion, add a dish to today's dinner, and let Hong'er come to have a meal with me." ”

Cao Huachun thought that the prince had been away for too long, and Chongzhen missed it a little, so he didn't think much about it, and directly said yes, and went down to make arrangements.

Soon, dinner time came, and Cao Huachun served five dishes, and the prince Zhu Cihong also came.

Chongzhen waved Cao Huachun away, and then picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat for Zhu Cihong, and then said tentatively: "Hong'er, what do you think of your master?" ”

Zhu Cihong put the meat in his mouth and replied without any scheming: "Father, I think the master is the most virtuous person in the world. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he picked up the bowl, took a few bites, and said tentatively: "If you succeed to the throne, what will you do with your master." ”

Zhu Cihong still said without any scheming: "It must be to let the master be the first assistant of the cabinet, with the help of the master, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become extremely powerful." ”

Sure enough, this Zhang Bin is secretly bewitching his son, wanting to control the court!

Chongzhen's fire came up at once, he dropped his rice bowl, threw his chopsticks on the table, and scolded angrily: "Stupid, you will bury the Ming Dynasty like this, do you know?" ”

Zhu Cihong was so frightened that his face turned white, and the bowl in his hand was almost unstable, he looked at Chongzhen with frightened eyes, and he didn't know what was going on at all.

Seeing him like this, Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart, and patiently taught: "Let you study, it is to learn literature and words, and lay the foundation for governing the country in the future, not to let you be bewitched by others and give the Ming Dynasty to others in vain." Literati are not credible, do you know, you have read history books should know that the Song Dynasty was the literati controlling the court, and what ended up in the end, do you know? There is also the Yuan Dynasty, what about those literati, what did they do, it was not because of the wisdom and martial arts of our ancestors that they drove out the Tartars and restored the Han dynasty. These literati, when they drove out the Tartars, they didn't do anything, but they always wanted to control the court, you know? You give them all the authority, is this Ming still the Ming of our Zhu family? “

Seeing that his father was no longer so scary, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but argue: "Father, the Song Dynasty ruled the country with literature, and the state lasted for more than 300 years; Meng Yuan ruled the country with force and died in less than a hundred years. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he hated iron and said: "Whether you govern the country with literature or by force, you must understand one thing, this world is the world of our Zhu family, and it can only be managed by our Zhu family, if you hand it over to others, then this world will be taken away, do you know?" ”

What he said is really a bit extreme, but this is not Chongzhen's thoughts, but Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang taught his children and grandchildren in this way, so the Zhu family has always guarded literati as thieves, if they have the ability, they will suppress themselves, and if they are not capable, they will train eunuchs to suppress them.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang, he is indeed very capable, and his methods are quite ruthless, he raises a butcher's knife at every turn and kills wildly, and in the more than 30 years he has been the emperor, he has killed no less than 50,000 civil officials!

Does the literati have a grudge against his old Zhu family?

They didn't have any enmity at all, on the contrary, the literati at that time also gave Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of help, the world of the Ming Dynasty was not fought by Zhu Yuanzhang alone, nor did he rely on those generals alone, like Liu Ji, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Song Lian and other literati also gave him a lot of help in the process of dominating the world.

However, these literati didn't get any good end in the end, only Liu Ji was the only one, who immediately retreated bravely after seeing the wrong form, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Song Lian was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang for 3,000 miles, and finally died in a foreign land.

His old Zhu family has always treated literati as thieves, and in the end, what did they do, and they died in the country for more than 200 years, not as long as the Song Dynasty insisted on!

Their opponent, Hou Jin, was initially just a group of natives under Jianzhouwei, with a total population of less than half a million; However, the opponent of the Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan, was a super empire that successively defeated Western Liao, Western Xia, Khorezm, Eastern Xia, Jin and other countries, with a population of more than 5 million.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty from 1125 A.D. to the Jin State in 1276 A.D. was destroyed by the Meng Yuan, a total of more than 150 years before and after, and the Ming Dynasty from the 47th year of Wanli and the Later Jin war, to the 17th year of Chongzhen's death, a total of more than 20 years, even the later Nanming is also counted, a total of more than 50 years, which is better and which is inferior, you can see at a glance.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty fell so quickly was due to natural disasters, but the fundamental reason was that there was a big problem with their governing thinking, the so-called too much, and they couldn't do anything too extremely, and some Wenchen should be guarded against, but they couldn't ignore the loyalty and traitors, and all the Wenchen fantasized about being a chaotic minister and thief who wanted to usurp the throne, and treat their subordinates as enemies, who would give you a hard time!

People are thoughtful, not brainless pigs, how you treat others, they will treat you how they treat you.

The king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman!

You treat me as a passerby, and I repay you as a passerby!

If you treat me with mustard, I should repay him with revenge!

Zhu Ming's royal family has always regarded Wenchen as an enemy, Wenchen naturally deviated from morality, although they did not dare to treat the emperor as an enemy, but they will gradually embark on the road of confrontation with the royal family, if the bright does not work, the dark will come, in short, if the monarch and the minister can not work together, the country will inevitably perish.

Zhu Cihong is only ten years old at this time, where can he understand this, he only knows that his master Zhang Bin is a good person and a capable minister, and it is impossible to seize his country at all, but why did his father say that the master would plot to rob his country?

He really couldn't understand why his father said that.

Chongzhen saw his puzzled face, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Forget it, you are still young, you can't figure out these things for a while, in short, you have to remember that the literati can not be trusted, and the power cannot be handed over to them, and you still have to do it yourself." ”

After that, he picked up the bowl and hurriedly took a few bites of rice, then put down his chopsticks and sat there frowning and pondering, this son, being so bewitched and unconscious, really annoyed him, so that he had no taste at all.

Chongzhen doesn't have a taste at all, Zhu Cihong doesn't have a taste at all, Chongzhen really scared him like this today, he still has the heart to eat!

As soon as Chongzhen put down his chopsticks, he put down his chopsticks, hurriedly retreated, and ran back to Ciqing Palace with a smoke.

Will the master really plot to rob him?
