Chapter 942: A rebellious minister and thief who conspired to overthrow the imperial court
Since ancient times, power is the most obsessive thing, thousands of years of Chinese history, countless wars and disputes, for the sake of the word power!
And among all the powers, the monarch is the supreme power, and the monarch power in his hand can dominate the world!
In the peaceful years, the monarchy belonged to the royal private property, and outsiders could not covet it, but there were also disputes and fratricides.
In troubled times, there are countless heroes who peep into the supreme power, and then there are heroes and compete for the crown.
With the monarch in hand, he can look down on the common people and become the supreme existence. I have enjoyed the pleasure of the monarchy in my hands, but where can I endure the pain when I lose it?
In another time and space, the puppet Qing Xuantong was willing to become a puppet of the Japanese people in order to continue to be the emperor, Yuan Datou knew that the republic was the trend of the times, but he was willing to risk the world in order to live the emperor's addiction. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are still some fools who establish a country in remote mountain villages, and divide hundreds of officials and choose concubines.
What do you say Chongzhen knows that Chen Yue is powerful but has to find death, don't you know that in Chongzhen's eyes, he has been the emperor for twenty years, and he has long been the rightful son of heaven, and it is naturally easy to control the situation!
Of course, in the eyes of those who have a heart, the world is no longer the world of 20 years ago. After experiencing a series of changes and great changes in the world, people's hearts have long been deviated.
In the eyes of many people, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has run out of gas, so when Li broke into Beijing, countless officials cried and shouted surrender, and after all the people in another time and space entered the customs, it was easy to set the world, and hundreds of thousands of bannermen controlled hundreds of millions of Han people to occupy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
"The number of Ming Qi has been exhausted, if there is no prince, he will either die after Li Chuang, or he will be destroyed under the iron hooves. Your Majesty, although his heart is higher than the sky, he has no ability to turn the tide at all, and now that he has just recovered from his illness, he wants to regain control of the situation, which is really funny. ”
In Fuzhou City, Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, and Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, sat opposite each other, talking about what happened in Nanjing, and Qian Fenglin said to Wang Yin with a smile.
Qian Fenglin, who had experienced the thief's attack on Beijing, was very clear about the situation in the Ming Dynasty in recent years. When Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River east with 100,000 Shun troops to attack Beijing, Qian Fenglin was a county governor of Wuqing, and he had seen the situation that after the arrival of the Shun army, the northern officials surrendered one after another, and he also took the initiative to surrender to the Shun army at that time.
Was it because the officials of the Ming Dynasty had no integrity? Maybe, but in Qian Fenglin's eyes, it was more of a despair of Daming. The number of Da Ming Qi has been exhausted, which is the consensus of most people at that time. Now that the qi has been exhausted, even if Chongzhen is diligent in government, he is helpless, and it is really difficult to return.
Wang Yin nodded: "It's the number of qi is exhausted, but who knew that there was a King of Qi, who defeated Manchu in a row for several years, and even expelled Manchu from the gate, seeing that Daming has turned into an Anzhongxing in sight." ”
Qian Fenglin said disdainfully: "The situation has just improved, Chongzhen is going to fool around again, Zhongxing is in sight, there is such an emperor, there are such ministers, where is the hope of Zhongxing?" ”
Wang Yin said: "Right now, Man Jian is driven away and loses the ability to threaten the Ming Dynasty, it only takes a year or two, and it is not very difficult to destroy the Western Thief and the thief." After the war and the population in the north has been sharply reduced, there is already enough land to support the people, as long as the imperial court is lightly taxed, how can it not be prosperous? ”
"Do you really think so, Master?" Qian Fenglin sneered: "The gentry annexed the land, the clan was greedy and shameless, the military system was corrupted, as long as these problems in the Ming Dynasty were not solved, what kind of Zhongxing to talk about would just linger." In a few years, there will be more people scattered! Your Majesty, does he have what it takes to solve these problems? He will only balance, and will only use conspiracies to divide the Qi royal family and try to reduce the power of the prince. ”
Wang Yin sighed and fell silent, he knew what Qian Fenglin was going to say.
"Supervisor, what virtues should Chongzhen and this Manchu Dynasty official know, do you expect them to have hope in this world?
Do they know how vast the world is? Do they know that there are many continents besides the Ming Dynasty? Do they know that the small country of Xiyi has found countless lands in the world?
They will only be complacent, and they only know how to fight for power and profit and remnants of the people. Who has opened their eyes to the world?
The small country of Xiyi crossed thousands of miles of ocean to the Ming Dynasty and earned countless wealth, but I Ming people only know how sad it is? Qian Fenglin said indignantly, his words full of disappointment with Chongzhen and the court officials.
Wang Yin sighed: "If you have something to say, just say it, although the old man is the superintendent appointed by the imperial court, he is also the king of Qi who is carried by himself, and the old man and the king of Qi are one......"
"It's good to have your words as a supervisor," Qian Fenglin finally put away his pretended angry expression and said with a smile, "Supervisor, then I'll just say it." ”
"The number of great Ming qi has been exhausted, and the time has come when the world has to change. Originally, according to our plan, the princess would first supervise the country, and then become the empress after Chongzhen's death, so that the power of the Ming Dynasty would be in the hands of King Qi. But now Chongzhen has forcibly taken away the princess's right to supervise the country, and made the north of the Great Wall a vassal state of the King of Qi, which is obviously trying to drive the King of Qi far away and constantly fight with the Manchu Mongols.
I'm afraid that in Chongzhen's heart, he didn't have the intention of leaving the country to the princess at all, let alone letting the King of Qi control the power of the court, he was afraid that the King of Qi would usurp the Ming Dynasty.
So I think we can't wait any longer, we have to do something.
But after all, the King of Qi is known to the whole world for his loyalty, and there is no way to use force to seize the country, so the reputation of the King of Qi will be ruined. King Qi wants to do great things, and reputation is extremely important! Therefore, even if the king of Qi has hundreds of thousands of troops, he cannot blatantly oppose Chongzhen.
But King Qi can't, and us. Inspector, you are the southeast governor appointed by the imperial court, and you have nothing to do with the King of Qi in name, so if we take measures, it has nothing to do with the reputation of the King of Qi. ”
"Stop, stop!" Hearing this, Wang Yin hurriedly stopped Qian Fenglin, "Do you want me to lead troops to rebel?" That's not going to work! ”
Qian Fenglin said with a smile: "How is it possible, what is the difference between your rebellion and King Qi's rebellion?" The army under your command is mainly Jiangxi soldiers, and there is the Dongfan army in my hand, which is the army of the King of Qi. ”
"It's good not to rebel," Wang Yin finally put his mind at ease, "Then what are the means you said?" ”
Qian Fenglin smiled gloomily: "We don't rebel, but there are rebels in Fujian!" ”
"You mean the thieves of the Enench? They're about to be wiped out by us! Wang Yin said.
Qian Fenglin smiled and said, "Ai Nengqi can't be eliminated, and our hope of overthrowing the imperial court will still fall on him." ”
