Chapter 662: Turning the Tide
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the queen mother has not been able to govern in the court, and a princess dared to go to the court privately, and scolded the cabinet chief assistant in public, and the ministers looked at each other.
Although Chongzhen didn't want the harem to interfere in politics, the princess was the original representative of Fang after all, and if she just put forward political opinions during private discussions, Chongzhen would endure it. But seeing that the princess came to the court openly, I was afraid that she would give the ministers an excuse for a woman to interfere in politics, so she said with a displeased expression, "Princess Kunxing, can you come to the court?" Stand back! ”
Hong Chengchou, who bore the brunt of the attack, also sneered coldly, "No wonder there is a big chaos tomorrow, it turns out to be Si Chen, and the people are upside down!" ”
With him taking the lead, the cabinet members opened their mouths to accuse, "Bold! Daring! Emperor Taizu explicitly forbade women from interfering in politics, and the princess dared to come to the court, which was against the sky?! ”
"Your Majesty, please immediately blast the princess out of the court to prove the law of the country!"
"Si Chen, just blasting out of the court can't punish the former and the latter, and must be handed over to the Zongren Mansion for severe punishment to set an example!"
Princess Kunxing looked at these cabinet scholars with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said coldly, "You cabinet scholars are in high positions and hold the important weapons of the country. Just discussed military and political affairs, one by one; Now it involves a few rituals and ancestral systems, and one by one it seems to have been beaten with chicken blood. In this way, the responsibility for the death of the Ming Dynasty is not in the corpse of your ministers, who are corrupt to the extreme, but all went to court in this palace? ! ”
"No wonder my father would say that you are all ministers of the dead country! In fact, this is a light statement, it has saved face for you, I think the concubine said it better, all the officials above the seventh grade in the capital were killed, and there was no wrong! Those below the seventh grade, that is, if you want to be greedy or not, you will not be wronged if you want to be greedy, and you will not be wronged if you drive them all away! ”
Those who were able to participate in this military and political conference were all officials of the seventh rank or above. The princess openly shouted in the court that she wanted to kill all the officials above the seventh grade, and none of them were wronged, that is, all the ministers in the court were scolded. In the two or three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such an unbelievable situation.
Hong Chengchou scolded sharply, "Your Majesty, where is Jinyiwei?!" How can such shrews be allowed to openly humiliate the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the court?! ”
The ministers were originally hanging high, but as soon as the princess shouted like this, they were all involved, and they surrounded them one by one with righteous indignation, and a few grumpy ones, seeing that the brocade guard was motionless, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to come forward to arrest people in person!
Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to see that there was a mess above the court, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a big breath, he was used to the left and right, where did he dare to get involved? Hurriedly asked Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, this, this." ”
Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has never encountered a situation where the ministers were excited and quarreled with the harem princess, and he was also at a loss for a while, looking at Zhou Kui and said, "Guozhang, you want to think about it." ”
Zhou Kui had already surrendered to Fang Yuan, if the princess suffered any harm in the court, then it would be okay? How to explain to Fang Yuan?!
He immediately scolded, "Stop it all!" At this time of national crisis, when the team works together, the princess is the daughter of His Majesty, and she came to pass the word on behalf of the horse, Your Majesty and the horse did not blame her for Si Chen, who dare to wait for the minister? Whoever dares to talk nonsense again will be dragged down and killed immediately! ”
Zhou Kui controls the guards of Gyeonggi, and he speaks on behalf of the military, and these ministers don't even dare to mess with Jinyiwei, and they dare to provoke the military's big soldiers? One by one, the previous arrogance was gone, and the gray shrank back.
Chongzhen saw that Zhou Kui still stood up loyally, and smiled with relief, "Princess, since you are here on behalf of the horse, if you have any words, it doesn't hurt to say it and discuss it." ”
Princess Kunxing sneered and looked around at the ministers, and said, "Father, my first suggestion is that the war is approaching, and the Gyeonggi region will immediately enter a wartime state and implement a military management policy!" What cabinet scholars, six scholars, and squires don't have to go to the court anymore, they all go back to the house to stay, and they are under the care of Jinyiwei, and they are not allowed to leave the house unless they are summoned. All wartime decrees were issued directly to the military by the Inner Court. A material mobilization should be supervised by the inner court and the Jinyi guard! ”
Chongzhen was in favor of the princess's military management proposal, and these cabinet scholars and officials of the six ministries couldn't let out a fart when they called the court. Let them mobilize materials, and one by one they start talking about difficulties, crying poor, what do you want them to do?! The inner court and Jinyi Wei are responsible for carrying out the relevant instructions, and the efficiency is much higher.
But as soon as Princess Kunxing opened her mouth, she did not mention the strategy of retreating from the enemy, so she would implement military management and drive all the cabinet scholars and officials of the six ministries home, which may be difficult to convince the public, Chongzhen asked hesitantly, "Princess, let's talk about the strategy of breaking the enemy first!" ”
The princess said loudly, "Father, the strategy to break the enemy is very simple, immediately issue an edict to the concubine of King Qin, as long as the soldiers and horses of the concubine arrive in Gyeonggi, the capital will be saved." ”
Hong Chengchou said coldly, "Fang Yuan's wolf ambition made Fang Yuan come to King Qin, that is to open the door to arrest thieves!" Princess, you are causing trouble in the capital for Fang Yuan, driving all the cabinet scholars and officials of the six ministries back to the house, you are paving the way for Fang Yuan to usurp the Ming Dynasty! ”
The princess looked at Hong Chengchou and sneered, "Hong Chengchou, who is a thief and who is a thief?" You stopped the horses from coming to King Qin, just to lead the Manchu Qing into the customs with Wu Sangui, and you are the real thief! ”
Chongzhen was still very jealous of Fang Yuan, and asked, "Princess, let Fang Yuan be King Qin, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God!" ”
The princess clapped her hands, and ordered the eunuch in the palace to carry up a brocade box, and opened the brocade box, which contained a white flour bun and a sweet potato cube.
The princess raised one in one hand, holding a sweet potato piece and said to Chongzhen, "Father, the people of Gyeonggi, soldiers, eat this." ”
She picked up another white-flour bun and said to Chongzhen, "The people and soldiers under Fang Yuan's command eat this. ”
The princess ordered the eunuch to put the white flour bun and sweet potato pieces on Chongzhen's dragon case, and sighed, "Father, please take a look at the white flour bun and sweet potato pieces in front of you." Father really thinks that if he doesn't let the horse come to King Qin, Gyeonggi won't fall?! Father, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the hearts of the people are on the white bread and sweet potato pieces! It's not that Erchen is alarmist, the horses just don't move a soldier, just to start a psychological war, the capital will also surrender without a fight! ”
Chongzhen silently looked at the white-flour buns and sweet potato pieces on the dragon case, the richest Jiangnan and Huguang in the world all fell into Fang Yuan's hands, and Gyeonggi's military expenses and food were already insufficient. If it weren't for the forced promotion of high-yield sweet potatoes in Gyeonggi, the food supply in the capital would have been cut off.
In order to raise expenses to maintain normal operation, Chongzhen has sold all the valuable jewelry, cloth, and even ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the palace for silver.
From an economic point of view, Chongzhen really can't survive. What the princess said is not true, Fang Yuan doesn't even need a military attack, as long as he waits quietly for a year or two, the people's livelihood in Gyeonggi will collapse on all fronts and surrender without a fight.
Zhou Yuji also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how you negotiate peace with the concubine, but now the biggest enemy must not be the concubine, but the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”
Chongzhen was silent for a long time, and finally got up and said, "Okay, according to the princess's method, the Gyeonggi region will immediately implement military management, cancel the cabinet's voting power, and all edicts will be issued directly by the inner court celebrant and supervisor!" Mobilize materials, grain and grass, and hand them over to Jinyi Wei to supervise and implement, and if the local government dares to shirk and slack off, the law will be corrected on the spot! ”
"Fang Zhenghua sent someone to send an edict to Fang Yuan. Keep in mind that Fang Yuan's Qinwang army could not approach the capital, so he could only choose Jizhen or Shanhaiguan to be stationed. Moreover, I do not accept any strings attached. If Fang Yuan still has a heart of gratitude and loyalty, he will lead an army to King Qin; If you want to take the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest, it is wishful thinking! ”
