Hong Chengchou did not know Hou Fangyu's true identity, and he intended to promote Hou Fangyu, so he brought him to Duoduo's mansion so that he could have the opportunity to be appreciated by Duoduo and thus obtain a high position.

At this time, although Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiangnan and seemed to be in a high position, in fact, he couldn't do many things, so he could only suggest, and then let Duoduo, the emperor, make the decision.

Chinese civilization has developed for thousands of years, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Son of Heaven has been deliberately strengthening the power of the monarch and weakening the power of the prime minister, as well as weakening the power of the locality, after hundreds of years of changes, by the time of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the system has basically been perfected.

At this time, the monarch's power and the prime minister's power have reached a relatively ideal state, the power of the prime minister has been weakened and dispersed, which is not enough to threaten the imperial power, and the hundred officials can also restrain the emperor and rule the world with the scholars.

After the invasion of the Mengyuan Dynasty, from a backward nomadic civilization, it controlled such a vast and vast territory at once, but it did not have the advanced means to rule the country, and turned back the wheel of history.

As a result, the Yuan Dynasty produced many powerful ministers, and in less than a hundred years, they actually went through twelve emperors, and most of them died unnaturally.

The political construction of the Mongol Empire was a mess, and only Yingzong of the twelve emperors had a rough understanding of Chinese, who disdained the Song system and adopted the most backward family rule model, in which the state became a family, and the monarchs and ministers became masters and slaves.

During the Yuan Shizu period, there was a Han minister surnamed Dong, who was the governor of the official residence, equivalent to the deputy prime minister, Kublai Khan favored him very much, let him deal with political affairs in the palace, and often could not go home.

One day, after Kublai Khan woke up, he found that the minister was asleep by his bedside, and he was very angry, but he was a big fat man of more than 200 pounds, and he was unable to move, so he asked his concubine to kick him.

The concubine saw that the minister was a high-ranking official, but she trembled and didn't dare to move her feet, but Kublai Khan said urgently, "He, like the horse breeder, is all serving me, but he is a house slave, what dare not do it!" ”

The dignified prime minister, in the eyes of Emperor Mengyuan, became a domestic slave, which is really the victory of barbarism over civilization and the regression of Chinese history.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty died for more than 80 years, so adhering to the Yuan system, many problems immediately appeared, so Taizu used cruel means to kill heroes, reform the system from the new, and go to the extreme of imperial power, but with the emergence of the cabinet system, the Chinese system gradually returned to the original track.

It's just that at the time of such a system change, ideological confusion will inevitably occur, so there are chaotic phenomena such as hundreds of officials scolding the emperor, small officials scolding big officials, etc., but at least it shows that the minister is not the emperor's servant, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister, after nearly a hundred years of devastation in the Mengyuan Dynasty, has come back to the direction of the monarch and the minister to rule the world.

The Ming Dynasty was an era of ideological change, economic change, and cultural change, but unfortunately change means turmoil, it means confusion of thought, and the change is still completed, but the country has been destroyed.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it inherited the Ming system, but it only learned the Ming Dynasty system on the surface, and the power was not in the cabinet, but in the hands of the regent council of ministers, in essence, it was a Mengyuan, and it was still a family in the world.

Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiangnan, and his status is not low, but when facing Duoduo, how to kneel or how to kneel, without the dignity of a feudal official.

Hou Fangyu was the fourth prince of Jiangnan back then, and he didn't worship when he saw the official, even if he met the royal family, it was just a long salute, and now he has to accompany Hong Chengchou to kneel.

At this time, Duoduo glanced at the two of them, and asked directly: "The land south of the Yangtze River is the land of the world, and the tax should be the best in the world, but now the tax paid to the court is less than one-tenth of the previous dynasty. Lord Hong, the governor of Jiangnan, has some time, but what can be done to help this king restore Jiangnan's taxes and serve the Holy Dynasty? ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead when he heard this, "Lord Qiyu, the land south of the Yangtze River, after military disasters, only Jiangyin, Jiaxing, Kunshan, Wusong four places, the people who were killed have exceeded one million, the people's livelihood has long been destroyed, coupled with the instability of the people's hearts, and there are Taihu Lake thieves harassing everywhere, if you want to restore taxes, but it is very difficult, I think that if you can exterminate Chen and Wu rebels, and then rest with the people's livelihood, or you can provide millions of silver for the holy dynasty." ”

"Li and Wu two thieves, this king sent troops to suppress it several times, but they all returned in vain, it is really hateful, but the eight banners don't know the water war, and the green battalion doesn't go all out, and they have never been able to capture the thief, which is really hateful."

Duoduo paused and asked again, "By the way, how is the investigation of the matter of the Heaven and Earth Society?" ”

The Qing court was investigating the Heaven and Earth Society, and he didn't hear the wind, which made Hou Fangyu, who was kneeling on the side, feel nervous when he heard it.

At this time, Hong Chengchou replied: "The matter of the Heaven and Earth Society, the lowly official has sent a confidential person to secretly investigate, and he has obtained some news. ”

"Oh~" Duoduo was interested in hearing this, and was listening, "What are the identities of these traitors, come quickly, this king will kill them all." ”

"According to the news sent back by the secret agents, the Heaven and Earth Society was established by Wang Yan, the Duke of Chu of the Southern Ming Dynasty, at the behest of his subordinate general Hu Weizong, for the purpose of assassinating and collecting information about the Holy Dynasty. After this Hu Weizong came to Jiangnan, he served as the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, combined with the remnants of Jinyiwei during the Fuwang regime, and received the support of many gangs on Caoyun, and set up branch halls and rudders all over the south of the Yangtze River, and now the congregation is afraid that it will not be able to withstand more than 10,000 people. ”

"Ten thousand people in the congregation?"

Duoduo's face couldn't help but feel heavy.

"This Wang Yan is really my mortal enemy of the Qing Dynasty! The king should have trapped him to death in Yangzhou at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't be so troublesome now. By the way, since Lord Hong has sent secret agents to break into the Heaven and Earth Society, he can find out where its chief rudder is, and this king will definitely annihilate these rebels in one fell swoop. ”

Hong Chengchou heard this, but kowtowed, "The prince forgives the sin, the Heaven and Earth Society is tightly organized, and the lowly secret agents have not penetrated the core, so they can't get the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Society, but the lowly position to discuss the prince, I should also establish such an organization in the Qing Dynasty, so that I can not only deal with the Heaven and Earth Society, but also spy on the news of Nanming, isn't it beautiful!" ”

Hou Fangyu listened to Hong Chengchou's words, and his heart set off a wave of turmoil, if it wasn't for the news from Hong Chengchou, he would definitely let the congregation kill this thief at any cost.

Duoduo Dao nodded immediately, "This king will inform the regent about this matter, but before that, this king can't do nothing in Jiangnan." That Wang Yan has entered Chu, the Longwu court wants to make a breakthrough in Huguang, obviously, now I am trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, once Wang Yan has an advantage in Huguang, and then down the river, blockade the Yangtze River, I Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River will immediately be in great danger. I don't know what Lord Hong thinks about this. ”

Hong Chengchou heard the words, thought for a moment, and then said: "I agree with the words of the prince, I must do something in Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty." I thought that since Nanming could rely on the superior troops of Huguang to launch the Battle of Jingchu, then my Qing Dynasty could completely rely on 200,000 soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River to sweep eastern Zhejiang and advance to Fujian. ”

"In fact, whether it is Chen and Wu on Taihu Lake, or the Heaven and Earth Society, even Wang Yan, it is just a disease of scabies, as long as the prince can sweep the king of eastern Zhejiang and Fujian Longwu, the anti-thief will lose his roots, not only in the south of the Yangtze River, but also in the world!"
