Chapter Sixty-Eight: The First "Resistance" of the Imperial History

Zhu Youzhen's heart has undergone some changes, how is the Eight Banners? What about Li Zicheng? As long as the Ming Dynasty is single-minded, civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, all enemies are floating clouds.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen is very clear that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty came from within, thinking that when Emperor Yingzong, the 500,000 troops in Beijing went out of the customs and the whole army was wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty relied on its own heritage, in just half a month, it mobilized 220,000 troops around the Beijing Division, and the mobilization ability was so strong, he firmly believed that as long as his major policy was correct, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to survive the rebellion from within.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the account book for two hours, from beginning to end, it was very detailed, and after closing the account book, he wrote the quasi-words on the top of the chapter.

This night Zhu Youzhen stayed overnight and nourished the heart of the palace, retired the palace maids and eunuchs who served, when the morning sun rose, after the bell rang, Zhu Youzhen in the Beijing division of the civil and military officials of the long live cry, ascended the dragon seat of the Taihe Palace.

Zhu Youzhen looked down at the civil and military officials kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and said with a full temperament: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

All the civil and military officials stood up.

"Today's court meeting, I don't know if all Aiqing has something to play."

Huang Liji said respectfully: "Weichen has a book to play. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said softly: "Elder Huang Ge, hurry up." ”

"Your Majesty, the envoy Zhang Huangji has gone to Mongolia, met with Lin Dan Khan, and discussed the matter of the alliance against Jin, although Lin Dan Khan hesitated at this time, but he already had the intention, and Weichen wanted to report to the emperor and Sun Chengzong to discuss our bottom line." As soon as Huang Liji said this, the entire Taihe Hall was in an uproar, because of the cabinet's secrecy policy, so unrelated officials in the DPRK and China did not know about this matter.

An imperial historian hurriedly came out and said: "Huang Ge Lao, when will my Ming Dynasty negotiate an alliance with Mongolia?" And when will the Imperial Observatory be reported? ”

The tone of this imperial historian's speech was a little bad, Huang Liji was of course uncomfortable, and turned to this imperial historian and said: "The matter of the alliance with Mongolia is played by Lord Sun Chengzong of Liaodong Jingluo, and the emperor Zhu pen and imperial approval. Secrecy is also a holy decree, what else do you have to say? ”

Hearing that all this was the emperor's will, even the imperial historians who were not afraid of heaven and earth shrank their heads, this emperor is not a simple character, if he blindly rebelled against him, I don't know what the outcome would be.

But the imperial historian who could speak was a little unable to get off the stage, and pointed the finger at Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"The emperor is such a big event, why don't you convene hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss it together, and make a hasty decision, it's really not a blessing for the country." The Emperor's voice was loud, but his tone had softened.

Of course, this imperial historian knew that what the emperor and the cabinet chief assistant agreed on, even if he shouted hoarsely, it would not help, and at this time, he was just doing his duty.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have discussed it with the cabinet for a long time, of course it is not a hasty decision, you step back first, and listen to what Huang Ge Lao said."

Because of these discussed things, Sun Chengzong did not say anything about the folds, and after listening to Huang Liji's words, Zhu Youzhen was also a little interested.

This imperial historian had no choice but to retreat, after this imperial historian closed his mouth, no one in the entire court hall spoke, and the emperor's authority made Zhu Youzhen a little intoxicated.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Huang Liji continued: "Lord Sun Chengzong agreed in the correspondence of Weichen, and drew up five articles of the covenant that could not be regressed, first, when the Liaodong defense line was violated by the Houjin, the Mongolian tribes must raise troops to march eastward, on the contrary, if the Mongolian tribes were violated by the Houjin, within the acceptable range of our Liaodong defense line, transfer troops to attack the Houjin, second, since the signing of the covenant, I Ming Dynasty has given Mongolian swords and firearms every year, but Mongolia must give me the corresponding return of the Ming Dynasty, silver, horses, Cattle and sheep can be substituted. Third, the border towns of Shanxi Province and Mongolia can be opened to trade, and all things can be purchased in gold and silver, and they can be bartered. Fourth, the Mongolian royal court is not allowed to move westward, and fifth, Mongolia wants to send a prince to Beijing, accept the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and stay with the Beijing division, and I will send a princess to the Ming Dynasty to be a proton. After Huang Liji's five articles were finished, even if someone objected, the status of the person who opposed it was not low, it was Liu Quan, the new imperial historian of the capital.

"Your Majesty, you must not, my Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are feuds, although at this time in the face of Houjin, I have no choice but to sign an alliance, but sending the princess out of the customs, there is a sense of peace and prayer, which is not good for the emperor's prestige, and also damages the national body of my Ming Dynasty." Liu Quan said these words, but also forced himself, everyone knows, he is the emperor among dozens of candidates selected by the imperial history, the real is the emperor's person, and Huang Liji dared to say in the court to send the princess out of Beijing, as long as the head is normal, you know that this is also the emperor's secret instructions, but Liu Quanquan is the imperial history, the duty is to advise the emperor, if this matter is done, the first to be scolded by the world's scholars is Huang Liji, and the second is he Liu Quan.

Therefore, even at the risk of making the emperor angry, he had to stop it.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen, he said: "Liu Quan, I see that you think too much, I have no idea of getting along, princess, let me choose one of the palace maids with good character and good looks to go out." ”

"That's not possible, even if the palace maid is out of the palace, but the emperor has given her the status of a princess, then she is the princess of my Ming Dynasty, even if the previous status is low, it also represents the face of my Ming Dynasty, before Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, although he was extremely rich, but the suspicion of kinship still left a strong ink in the history books, I have never had this precedent since the founding of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Quan retorted that since he had already opened his mouth to stop it, he had to stop it to the end.

As soon as Liu Quan finished saying this, whether he followed Liu Quan's imperial history or not, they all echoed it.

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Send the princess out of the customs, by all means."

"It's detrimental to the country, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen's face was a little unsightly, since he ascended the throne, even when Wei Zhongxian was in power, no one dared to contradict him so much in the court, but he didn't expect that it was Liu Quan, who he single-handedly promoted, that caused the courtiers to collide with him for the first time.

"So you mean you can't form an alliance with the Mongols?" Zhu Youzhen said in a cold voice.

"Weichen doesn't dare to criticize this, but sending the princess out of the customs is indeed detrimental to the emperor's prestige, and what's more, the ancestors are disgraced." As soon as Liu Quan said this, he regretted it, how could he say such cruel words to the emperor, the ancestors were ashamed, that was the word used when he scolded the faint king.

After saying this, Liu Quan already had cold sweat on his forehead, but he knew how powerful the emperor sitting on the dragon chair was.

But after Zhu Youzhen heard Liu Quan's words, he didn't show anger, this is because Zhu Youzhen's heart has calmed down, why is he angry, it is because his authority has been challenged, but if the emperor covers the sky with one hand, although he has supreme power, it is not good for the country.

Just as Wang Chengen advised, people are not sages, who can do nothing, if no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to question their authority, it is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, even if a person is smart, secretive and negligent, and the civil officials dare to question the emperor's words, it is a kind of political progress, and he wants to build a powerful Ming Dynasty, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty that planted the seeds of slavery into the hearts of the people like in the last time and space.

Zhu Youzhen calmed down his thoughts for a while, and then said: "Aiqing dares to advise like this, I am very relieved, even if the princess is out of the customs, there is a suspicion of harmony, then don't let the princess out of the customs." ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, the ministers in the hall were a little surprised, and they all felt that according to the emperor's temperament, the imperial historians who exported this export did not have any good fruits to eat, but the civil and military officials looked at Zhu Youzhen again, and there was no trace of anger.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen's performance also made Liu Quan stunned for a moment, he had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect the emperor to be angry, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The emperor is wise." ”

"My emperor is wise." Yu Shi, who had just spoken, shouted in unison after Liu Quan finished speaking.

At this time, Huang Liji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how this fifth article should be modified, if my Ming Dynasty does not have a proton, Mongolia will definitely not send the prince to Beijing." ”
