Chapter 734: Wronged, Worse Than Dou E......
(0734)
Today's second update is delivered! Suddenly, Wang Dehua quietly popped up outside. As if sensing the tension around Chongzhen, he immediately turned around quietly, wanting to retreat, and wait for Chongzhen's anger to disappear before coming back. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen just looked up and saw his sneaky figure.
Chongzhen suddenly shouted angrily: "Come in!" ”
Wang Dehua hurriedly crawled in.
Chongzhen asked coldly, "You, what are you doing sneaky?" ”
Wang Dehua hurriedly said: "Emperor, Liu Zongzhou has a concert......
Chongzhen frowned and said, "Liu Zongzhou? ”
Didn't this old man go to Nanjing? What's more? Could it be that Liu Zongzhou actually knew what happened at the noon gate that day? Beijing and Nanjing are so far away, Nanjing actually knows about it? It seems that the impact of this matter is not small! It's all damn cultivation, it's all damn Wu Mengming, such a trivial matter will make a fuss.
For Liu Zongzhou, Chongzhen still has some appreciation, this person is a first-class master in science, with many disciples and a wide influence. For the sake of the emperor's reputation, as long as Liu Zongzhou is not too much, Chongzhen generally does not care about himself. Even, when discussing state affairs, Liu Zongzhou, who was only a waiter in the Ministry of Works, was allowed to participate.
However, on the issue of moving the capital, Liu Zongzhou was obviously inclined to Nanjing, which made Chongzhen a little upset. Chongzhen himself was unwilling to move the capital. He always felt that once he moved the capital, it was as if he was afraid of the Tartars. Although the army of the imperial court was never the opponent of the Tartars, and they were defeated repeatedly, "but in Chongzhen's heart, he felt that he would never be afraid of the Tartars." It's all the incompetence of the people below that will defeat again and again.
Under the guidance of the idea that out of sight is pure, Chongzhen decided to exile Liu Zongzhou to Nanjing to serve as the secretary of the military department, "Don't let him wander in front of him." However, after Liu Zongzhou went to Nanjing, he still kept playing the chapter, and Chongzhen was a little uncomfortable. Tell you not to worry about so many things, you want to take care of it! Isn't it good that you can retire with peace of mind?
Liu Zongzhou's recital, there must be nothing good, this is inevitable. This person is the so-called Qingliu, neither the eunuch party, nor the Donglin party, he can't get used to anything, he has to pick his nose and eyes at everything, and he is extremely exaggerated in the music.
When you look at this person's recital, you must be in a good mood so as not to lose your temper. Therefore, Chongzhen calmed down his mood and said slowly: "Read! ”
Wang Dehua stammered and said, "The slave doesn't dare,"
Chongzhen said angrily: "Since you don't dare to read it, what are you doing with the concerto?" Don't read? If you don't read it, you go outside and kneel, and you are not allowed to get up for a day. ”
Wang Dehua was shocked, and hurriedly spread out the chapter, trying to wake up his spirits, and read intermittently: "Bitter and angry, it is difficult to be sparse............ His Majesty is determined to seek governance, but the way of the Holy King to rule the world has not been emphasized, and many administrative measures have not been grasped.........
After just reading a few words, Wang Dehua quietly observed Chongzhen's movements, and found that Chongzhen was not angry, and his face did not change, so he dared to continue reading: "...... In the battle of Jisi, the ministers had no good plan, so the court had the intention of lightening the scholars. Since then, he has been the eyes and ears of his ministers and the heart and soul of the country. Governing the country is only punished severely, "the major politics of the DPRK and China have been reduced to trivialities, and the major affairs of the world are becoming more and more corrupt and cannot be saved" ......
"Ahem!"
Wang Chengen suddenly couldn't help coughing twice.
Wang Dehua was startled, and hurriedly shut up, his face couldn't help but be a little pale.
Liu Zongzhou's recital, he was terrified when he read it. Between the lines, almost all of them are accusing Chongzhen of not. With Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua's understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely not be able to bear such accusations. Sure enough, Chongzhen's face was already displeased.
The first few sentences are okay, Chongzhen can still bear it, despise the scholars and doctors, and reuse the eunuchs, all of which have been attacked a lot by other ministers, and Chongzhen is used to it. However, he couldn't bear the last two sentences. The major affairs of the DPRK and the Central Committee are reduced to trivialities, which means that he has managed too widely, too thinly, and too long in his hands, and has taken care of all the things that should not be managed. As a result, they did not manage it well, but made a mess of national affairs. To put it simply, it means that Emperor Chongzhen does things without priority and is not organized.
Originally, Chongzhen always thought that he was very hardworking, and he couldn't wait to take over all the work of his courtiers. He thinks that he is doing this because he is trying to make the country better. He posted these four words in the Qianqing Palace, in the Dezheng Palace, and in the Hanzhang Hall to encourage himself. He would rather sleep less and take care of everything every day. However, Liu Zongzhou is clearly saying that he is doing this, and he is clearly putting the cart before the horse, even if he is tired to death, no one will whisper such sharp words, Chongzhen really can't bear it. Could it be that this national fortune is bleak, but I am too positive? If I were like Emperor Wanli and Emperor Jiajing, would the national fortune prosper? It's not that he's not, it's a personal attack at all. Well, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what a personal attack was, but he could feel that Liu Zongzhou's performance was as uncomfortable as ripping his flesh.
"Nonsense!"
Chongzhen said indignantly.
He did feel that he had been wronged.
I'm working hard, I'm working hard! What does it mean to work hard, do you Liu Zongzhou understand? You, a dead old man, study science every day, what do you study? A diligent emperor like me, you don't praise me, you actually say that I am working in vain! In the world, is there such a courtier without conscience? It's so damning! Elephant Elephant Rising is also evil!
"Emperor, these crazy words don't sound useful.........
Wang Chengen said in a low voice.
He was very worried that Chongzhen would be stimulated, and he didn't know what was going to happen. The bloody case in Wumen before has made the Jingshi boiling and chilling, and there are many undercurrents surging underneath. There are some undercurrents, and they are also related to Zhang Zhun, which makes Wang Chengen feel even worse. If Liu Zongzhou has another accident, Chongzhen is afraid that the pressure will be even greater. Wang Chengen is really for Chongzhen's good, and he really doesn't want Chongzhen to continue tossing, especially not to toss this Liu Zongzhou.
Liu Zongzhou is everyone, "There are many disciples, if he is disposed of by Chongzhen, the disciples will inevitably try their best to slander Chongzhen." Wang Chengen knows the horror of literati, they occupy the commanding heights of Taoism and morality, "Once the power is exerted, the snowflakes fly over, Chongzhen will definitely fall into passivity again." Now, the world is changing, and the court is stretched, and in such a situation, it is indeed better to have more than one thing.
In fact, "from the bottom of my heart, Wang Chengsi thinks that Liu Zongzhou is reasonable." As an emperor, you really shouldn't manage things too carefully. The Ming Dynasty had a cabinet, and the cabinet consisted of six people, all of whom were experienced ministers. A lot of things, left to them to deal with, is enough. The emperor "just take care of the big things." The previous emperors were basically like this.
Only Chongzhen is an exception. Chongzhen is very distrustful of cabinet ministers, and always feels that they are not as good as handling things himself. Every time a cabinet minister made a decision, he had to overturn it all and start anew according to his own ideas. As a result, over time, all the cabinet ministers stopped making resolutions, and they were only responsible for collecting the medals and sending them directly to Chongzhen. Chongzhen was also happy to do so. Slowly, the role of the cabinet was completely lost. The current cabinet "is nothing more than the emperor's mouthpiece."
In fact, how many things have to happen every day when Ming Guo is so big? Chongzhen is alone, how can he deal with it? How can his knowledge of one person be compared to the knowledge of six people? Chongzhen thought that he was working hard, but in fact, he was trying his best to destroy the last superior system of the Ming Kingdom, that is, the cabinet. The Ming Dynasty has been maintained for more than 200 years, and the role of the cabinet has been indispensable. If the role of the cabinet could still be played normally, the situation would not be so erosive. It was Chongzhen himself who completely abolished the cabinet that led to the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was so bad.
"Emperor, this person should be killed!"
Cao Huachun raised his head and said loudly.
As the main backbone of the eunuchs, Cao Huachun does not have the compassion of Wang Chengen, he has long looked at Liu Zongzhou and others as unpleasant. I don't know when it began, the struggle between the eunuchs and the civilian clique has never stopped. The civil bureaucracy is impeaching the eunuchs every day, and the eunuchs are also trying to figure out how to weaken the power of the civilian bureaucracy.
There is no doubt that the Qingliu represented by Liu Zongzhou is a very important faction in the civilian-bureaucratic group. Their relationship with the eunuchs was very antagonistic. If you can take the opportunity to get rid of Liu Zongzhou, it will be a great shame. As for what kind of backlash it will cause, Cao Huachun doesn't care. Well, a few literati who have no power to catch chickens can't help them, eunuchs who hold military power.
"Companion, don't speak, keep reading!"
Chongzhen said coldly.
As if he had been wronged, Chongzhen wanted to hear what Liu Zongzhou said about him. His hard work and hard work, is it in exchange for such an evaluation from his courtiers? This is indeed too big a blow to Chongzhen. In the past, when the courtiers attacked the emperor, they all said that the emperor was too lazy and didn't do his job, but as a result, he didn't expect that he was so diligent that he was actually attacked. Wronged, Chongzhen feels that he is more wronged than Dou E.
Wang Dehua felt that he was in trouble again, he shouldn't have stabbed this Lao Shizi's "Bitter Anger and Hardship" in front of Emperor Chongzhen, this is good, Chongzhen is really angry. While Wang Dehua hated Liu Zongzhou, he secretly blamed himself for his stupidity, such a sloppy performance, he actually stabbed himself in front of the emperor, and he was completely looking for death! In desperation, he had no choice but to say dryly: "Emperor, it's not a good word.........
Chongzhen Tie blushed, and said coldly: "Put down the concerto!" Get out of the way! ”
Wang Dehua had no choice but to cry and mourn, put the music on the ground, and then obediently rolled to the side to face the wall and think. In the weather in April, he felt that his spine was cold, not warm at all, as if he was standing on the edge of hell.
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and seemed to want him to read it, but he groaned slightly, and shook his head inadvertently, denying his thoughts. His gaze turned outside, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Someone! Read! ”
A cultured little eunuch came in from outside the door, took the music, and read in a sharp voice: "..."...... The secretary of the guard is in charge of the inspection, and the wind of promise is flourishing; Prisons spread throughout the gentry, and the dignity of officials was disgraced. Everyone is in danger but seeking no fault, and deception and prevarication have become a trend: everything depends on the dictatorship of the Son of Heaven, and sycophants are full of court. Justice is not presided over by the Criminal Department, but there are more criminals, and the emperor is diligent in handling large and small cases, "personally hearing thousands of cases every year", and "the heart of compassion is getting less and less......
Chongzhen's face has changed from iron green to pig liver dice.
Liu Zongzhou, this is not a song at all, this is simply a slap in the face of the emperor! According to Liu Zongzhou's words, "Chongzhen is simply the first faint monarch in history." Especially the last paragraph, Chongzhen couldn't step down. Obviously, this is a satire that Chongzhen likes to kill people more and more, and he doesn't have the mercy that the Son of Heaven should have, and Wang Chengen secretly observed Chongzhen's face, and knew that Chongzhen was really angry. Faced with such a situation, he could only sigh helplessly. Speaking of which, Chongzhen is actually quite aggrieved, "Really." Chongzhen himself is tired and tired, and he only sleeps for one or two hours a day, which makes people tired. As a result, not only did his subordinates not appreciate it, but also said that the emperor himself did not know how to work, and specially did something stupid about picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons. You say, everyone will be angry if they change!
Among the many eunuchs in the Forbidden City, "Wang Chengen's compassion is the strongest, and he generally doesn't want to see someone beheaded by Chongzhen." However, Liu Zongzhou's essay is indeed too sharp. Under Chongzhen's anger, Wang Chengen didn't dare to speak at all. He secretly made his eyes look at him, "I hope that little eunuch will not read it again, so as not to continue to stimulate Chongzhen."
However, the little eunuch didn't understand Wang Chengen's mind at all, and continued to read: "...... The officials were more greedy and the officials were more ruthless, and they owed more food and wages. Severe punishment and taxation were urged, and the people had no way to live, causing thieves to swarm. Use the minister as the general manager "The household and the work department have done nothing: the eunuch is the supervising army, and the feudal officials are irresponsible." The ministers constrained "the governor and the governor had no power, resulting in the cowardice and arrogance of the generals, and the court was powerless to restrain them." Successive deadlines were set to level thieves, forcing soldiers to kill good and take risks, and the lives of the world were devastated......,..."
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Chongzhen roared angrily.
The little eunuch was caught off guard and was so frightened that the music in his hand also fell to the ground. He was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled on the ground, not daring to move, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Wang Dehua, who was thinking about it next to him, didn't dare to move, and his forehead was also full of cold sweat, for fear that Chongzhen would be angry with him.
Only Cao Huachun on the ground was secretly happy in his heart. Liu Zongzhou's words just now were enough to make Chongzhen's murderous intent soar. Liu Zongzhou's words not only offended the ministers, but also offended countless officials. The true situation of the Ming Dynasty has been outlined by him. Reality is so cruel, how can Chongzhen accept it?
Wang Chengen knew that Liu Zongzhou's disaster was coming. This is not a small disaster, but a big one. The emperor's scales are untouchable. Especially Chongzhen's reverse scales.
Sure enough, Chongzhen shouted angrily: "Spread the decree! Put Liu Zongzhou in prison! ”
Cao Huachun immediately replied loudly: "Obey!" ”
Just now, Liu Zongzhou scolded the eunuch in the chapter, and Cao Huachun's heart was already on fire. With this opportunity to rectify Liu Zongzhou, Cao Huachun will certainly not let it go. He was determined to do something about the divine decree. If this holy decree continues, Liu Zongzhou must never turn over.
After all, Wang Chengen was a little compassionate, so he pretended to be concerned and asked, "Gong Cao, can the three major battalions send someone to send the edict to Jiangnan?" ”
Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed, a little frightened, and a little helpless. Wang Chengen's words just hit him with a fatal question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Chongzhen frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Chengen said helplessly: "Around the Jingshi, the Tatar activities are becoming more and more frequent, and the cavalry of the traitor Zhang Zhun is also moving around, and the messenger of the decree cannot get past their blockade at all, unless it is escorted by three battalions of cavalry. ”
Chongzhen was suddenly stunned.
The edict can't come out of the Jingshi!
What's going on? It's him under siege! He, the emperor, can only pass his will inside the Jingshi, and it can't be transmitted to the outside of the Jingshi at all!
Chongzhen's gaze suddenly fell on Cao Huachun's body, and he said coldly: "Cao Banban, you are in charge of the three major battalions, what do you say?" ”
What can Cao Huachun say? At this time, even if you go to the execution ground, you have to answer yes and never answer no. Otherwise, what awaits him will inevitably be another wrath of Chongzhen. Without thinking, Cao Huachun immediately said: "The slave will send someone to send the edict to Jiangnan safely." ”
The look on Chongzhen's face slowly eased. However, it didn't take long for Chongzhen's face to slowly become gloomy again. The blockade of the Tartars against the capital division was temporary. It is impossible for the Tartars to stay in Beizhili for a long time, and they always have to return with a full load after burning, killing and looting. But Zhang Zhun...
This guy is the head snake of Shandong in the north of the country, and it is also so rampant. His cavalry blocked the surroundings of Jingshi, and in the future, his will wants to send Jingbei smoothly, but I am afraid that it will not be easy! If you can't send Jingshi out of your will, what else will you do as an emperor............ When will this day end?
"Zhang Zhun!"
Chongzhen couldn't help but secretly curse the name in his heart.
"Ahh
Zhang Zhun suddenly sneezed fiercely.
"Who is cursing me behind my back?"
At this moment, Zhang Zhun is inspecting the spring plowing work in Deping, Lingxian and other places near Dezhou. In addition to the guards around him, there were Liu Hang, Zhou Ming and others. In addition, there is also a special woman, which is Zhang Yan, the queen of Yi'an.
Regarding Zhang Yan's whereabouts, Zhang Zhun did not strictly restrict her. There is no need. A woman, no matter how great her ability is, has no chance to play in this generation. In addition to the core secrets, Zhang Yan let her watch whatever she wants. As a result, Zhang Yan set out from Dengzhou City, came along Huangxian, Zhaoyuan, Laizhou Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion and other places, and happened to meet Zhang Zhun here in Deping.
"Queen Mother, what are you doing here?"
After Zhang Zhun saw Zhang Yan, he said bluntly.
"I heard that you copied Huang Taiji's tent?"
Zhang Yan asked with concern.
"Yes."
Zhang Zhun replied quietly.
"Have you found the heirloom jade seal?"
Zhang Yan asked with great concern.
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "Huang Taiji will not carry this thing with him, it must be placed in Shenyang." ”
Zhang Yan said a little disappointed: "I really didn't find it? ”
Then he stared at Zhang Zhun with suspicious eyes, as if Brigadier Zhang had collected the jade seal of the country.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I don't like that thing. ”
Zhang Yan looked at him suspiciously, and finally didn't ask again.
In fact, Zhang Zhun really doesn't care much about the so-called heirloom jade seal, as well as auspicious or something. For this kind of thing, Zhang Zhun really sees it too thoroughly. This kind of symbolic thing, in fact, has no substantive use, and its value is completely linked to your own strength. As long as your strength reaches a certain level, engaging in this kind of thing is an easy matter.
However, if your strength is not reached, you have to come out, just like Yuan Shu, then there is only death and no place to be buried. For the vast majority of the time, the jade seal of the country is a bad thing for the rebellion. At this time, Zhang Zhun didn't want to be the first bird.
Zhang Yan staggered the topic and said: "When will you finish spidering with Yang Yinghan?"
Zhang Zhun said: "When Huang Taiji withdrew from the outside of the plug. ”
Zhang Yan said: "Then you have to hurry up and get the tartar out of the plug as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Zhun said: "There is Queen Lao who personally supervises the army. ”
Zhang Yan said: "Do you have time in the last few days?" I want you to accompany me to Jinan. ”
Jinan?
What did Zhang Yan do in Jinan?
Zhang Zhun frowned and thought about it, and quickly understood.
Zhang Yan obviously wanted to meet with Zhu Dadian and others to see if there was any possibility that these people would continue to be loyal to the imperial court. However, Zhu Dadian and others were afraid of the Tiger Benjun and Zhang Zhun, and if Zhang Zhun did not personally accompany Zhang Yan, they would not dare to meet with Zhang Yan at all.
The current ground in Shandong, except for Yanzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, the other four prefectures have basically been firmly controlled by the Tiger Army. In fact, the officials in Yanzhou Mansion, including King Lu, are trying to find a way to escape. If they don't run, they won't have a chance to run when the Tiger Army is stationed.
"Okay!"
"When are you going?"
Zhang Zhun said briskly.
"It's better now."
Zhang Yan obviously looked a little impatient.
"Good!"
"Let's go to Jinan!"
Zhang Zhun said lightly.
I suddenly remembered that tomorrow is the college entrance examination, if there is a brother who takes the college entrance examination, Thirteen is here to bless you! In the old year, when I took the college entrance examination in the thirteenth year, my heart was still quite calm, and the results were okay, so everyone still had to have a normal heart, a normal heart."
