"Let His Royal Highness the Widow ascend the throne, and then make King Yong the crown prince?" Zhu Yousong frowned and said, "Governor Ma, why do you have to arrange it like this?" Although Zhu Yousong didn't have much ambition for the position of emperor at first, but at this point, the situation is a little different, although Zhu Yousong doesn't have a son now, but in the future, there will still be, so even if it is instinctive, he is not willing to pass the throne to his nephew.

Ma Shiying bowed down when he heard this: "Your Highness, King Yong is the son of the first emperor, and the first emperor was martyred, and the world mourns him." His Royal Highness was ordered to recapture the Jingshi at a time of crisis, thanks to Sheji. But the people of the world, especially the scholars, were mostly favored by the previous emperor, and they still sympathized with King Yong. Moreover, Qian Yushan and others also supported it, and most of the Jiangnan scholars were also inclined to King Yong. His Royal Highness also knows that if he is corrupted today, the wealth of the imperial court comes from Jiangnan. If Jiangnan is uncertain, Zhongxing Daming will have many obstacles out of thin air. Moreover, His Royal Highness is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he will be in charge of the world for at least several decades. Decades from now, who knows what it will be? ”

"So, Governor Ma also thinks this is a good idea?" Zhu Yousong was still reluctant, but he didn't seem to have any intention of resisting to the end.

Ma Shiying listened to King Fu's words and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. In fact, he had already made his words very clear, and Ma Shiying also felt that this method of dealing with it was actually very beneficial to King Fu. And King Fu is still suffering from gains and losses. In fact, a few decades is enough time to change many things, including the establishment of another prince. I think that Zhao Guangyi also promised to pass on the throne to his nephew. But didn't you succeed in repenting later? Ma Shiying knew that he probably had to speak more clearly.

"Your Highness," Ma Shiying bowed, "Wechen is also thinking about His Highness. The minister heard that Jiang Zongbing and they all went to the table to persuade them, but these people are actually guilty of the world. His Royal Highness is merciful and will not pursue it, but if only these people support him, will His Highness's world sit safely? If there is a change in Jiangnan, can His Royal Highness really rely on them to pacify Jiangnan and pacify the world? Why doesn't Your Highness take a long-term strategy and slowly figure it out? ”

This is quite clear. In this way, Zhu Yousong can still understand it, and even, if it weren't for the loyalty of the generals, which made him swell up a little, if it wasn't for Li Lingzhi's faintness, he would have understood it when Ma Shiying spoke for the first time just now.

"Governor Ma, you have a point." Zhu Yousong let out a long sigh, "Now for the Ming Dynasty, for the world, even if it is just for the widow, this is indeed the best way." ”

……

After the identity of the Yongwang was confirmed, the Yongwang returned to his former residence. It's just that the perimeter of the dwelling is surrounded by model legions for safety.

Now in a small living room in his mansion, King Yong is talking to Qian Qianyi, Li Jiantai and Jiang Dejing.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Li, Mr. Jiang." Zhu Cihuan said to the three people, "Lone has already written this persuasion form." It's just that Lone is worried that there are still gaps in this, and he asked the three gentlemen to correct it. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Cihuan handed them a piece of paper.

……

At the same time, Zheng Sen also met with two important visitors in his temporary residence. These two people are Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui father and son. Now the two sides are gathered around a table, reading a document. In the original history, when Li Zicheng retreated from Beijing, he directly killed Wu Xiang with a knife. But in this time and space, because when Li Zicheng left Beijing, he used the excuse of going on an expedition, so he was afraid of being seen, so naturally he didn't

"After His Highness ascends the throne, will he really announce such an agreement?" Wu Xiang seemed a little disbelieving.

"Zheng Shuai, such an agreement seems to have a lot of restrictions on imperial power, will His Royal Highness King Fu really agree?" Wu Sangui also asked.

"Mr. Wu, Uncle Wu." Zheng Sen replied with a smile, "The content in this is actually just something from the three generations, and it can be regarded as the law of the first king. His Royal Highness King Fu, as well as His Royal Highness King Yongwang, are all people who understand righteousness, and it is too late to see that they are happy, so how can they disagree? When he said, "And His Royal Highness King Yongwang", Zheng Sen also deliberately accentuated his voice.

As soon as he said this, Wu Sangui immediately understood, and he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang can also be regarded as the protection of the first emperor, and he can get out of danger safely, which is really good." ”

The words of the two men were very vague, but the meaning was the same. So the two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.

"What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable." Wu Xiang also smiled, "And I think some people over there in Jiangnan will also like this agreement." ”

"People who do business in the world, can there be anyone who doesn't like this agreement?" Zheng Sen also smiled.

The so-called "agreement" they are looking at now is prepared to be announced to the world by the enthroned King Fu at the enthronement ceremony.

This agreement called on all the people in the world (mainly the rich) under the banner of working together to avenge the first emperor and rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty. Well, in my Ming Dynasty, in fact, most of the time, when talking about the people, such as competing with the people for profit or something, the people never refer to the P people) to support the imperial court. The imperial court agreed with the people to cede a part of their rights to them. For example, in business, in the purchase of land, in taxation, etc., the imperial court has made huge concessions.

According to this thing, Zheng Sen doesn't have to think about it, he knows that in the future, there will definitely be some phenomena like this:

The first is that land annexation is sure to get worse. And then the national government's revenues are going to be very tight, so it's going to be very difficult to do disaster relief or use force or something. If you look at these agreements alone and agree to such an agreement, it is almost asking me to wipe my neck in the Ming court. But considering the existence of guys like Zheng Sen, these tricks have another meaning.

First, land annexation, combined with policies to encourage business, will inevitably lead to the concentration of large amounts of land for mulberry and silkworm cultivation or cotton cultivation. And those who were originally yeoman farmers will soon lose their land and become displaced people. If these people remain in the country, it means that there can be a rebellion in the country at any time. But these desperate people were exactly what was needed to launch a massive colonial expansion. Zheng Sen and anyone who aspires to be an evil colonialist can easily get a lot of cheap population resources. Turning the former grain fields into mulberry fields or cotton fields means that the original smallholder economy has begun to shift to a market-oriented plantation economy.
