Chapter 35: The Imperial Dinner (3)

Chongzhen looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and his heart was a little relieved, now that the situation has been decided, judging from the performance of these ministers, the next thing should be very smooth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The lights in the info Jianji Hall were bright, and the expression on Chongzhen's face could be clearly seen by all the ministers. Chongzhen knows this very well, and the look on his face can convey his mood well, which is also what Chongzhen is good at.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. Although the time is still short, I deeply feel that it is not easy to govern the country. You also know very well that today's Ming can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, and there are many diseases. If I can't find a cure for it, I'm afraid that this Ming dynasty will be destroyed in my hands. After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at everyone coldly, his face full of sadness.

Everyone was confused, and everyone couldn't help but ask, is it possible that putting a knife on the neck is a good way to govern the country? However, no one spoke, the wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, they know better than anyone else, they all have ghosts in their hearts, they all think that others can be strong, to climb the high and dangerous treetops, so that they can wait for dates under the tree, as for the life and death of the person who goes to the tree to beat dates, it has nothing to do with them.

Of course, Chongzhen didn't disappoint them for long, and after glancing around coldly, he continued: "Those who compete with the people for profit and absorb the people's fat and anointment are destroying my Ming foundation. Therefore, I hate this kind of people the most. Ladies and gentlemen, do you agree with my thoughts? ”

After Chongzhen's words were finished, the ministers finally knew what was going on. are all thinking about their own flies and dogs, and no one will be stupid enough to answer Chongzhen.

But someone has to come forward to alleviate the current predicament, among the vassal kings here, Fu King Zhu Changxun, Rui King Zhu Changhao and Hui Wang Zhu Changrun are very close to the blood relationship of the royal family, so all the ministers set their eyes on these three princes. In the end, Fu King Zhu Changxun couldn't stand the pressure of everyone's eyes, so he had to stand up.

Originally, the identity of Zhu Changxun was not suitable, his mother was favored by Emperor Wanli Zheng Guifei, Emperor Wan favored Zheng Guifei, wanted to abolish the eldest son Zhu Changluo, but was strongly opposed by the ministers and Empress Dowager Li, and this incident was called the dispute of the country by later generations.

Around this issue, the ministers fought with the emperor for fifteen years, during which many things happened. The dispute over the national capital was the most intense and complex political event in the Wanli Dynasty, which forced the resignation of four first assistants, more than 10 ministerial-level officials, and more than 300 central and local officials, of whom more than 100 were dismissed, dismissed, and assigned. The fierceness of the struggle can be seen, and the Wanli Emperor, in desperation, actually protested by abandoning the government. But finally in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor had to give in, and the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was the crown prince and Zhu Changxun was the king of Fu. Soon after, King Fu got married, and the wedding fee amounted to 300,000 gold.

Once upon a time, King Fu Zhu Changxun was only one step away from the throne, but it was this step away that made him always the King of Fu. Zhu Changxun looked at Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair at a young age, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Since ancient times, Zhu Changxun has been content with enjoyment on the surface and has ignored the government and politics. I don't know it, and I continue to cultivate my own power secretly, and even this palace is densely covered with my own ear thread. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the means have emerged in an endless stream, and he is not close to women, almost without weaknesses. What Zhu Changxun didn't expect was the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, he couldn't figure out how Wei Zhongxian could bow his head so quickly. The two should have been on the same page, but in Zhu Changxun's plan, when the two of them lost the battle, they would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

At this time, Chongzhen notified the vassal kings from all over the country to enter Beijing to congratulate, Zhu Changxun did not think about it, and came directly to Beijing. He really wanted to see how this young nephew could govern this chaotic world.

Fu King Zhu Changxun stood up and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this king agrees with the emperor's idea very much, and this king also believes that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty here are the pillars of the country. Therefore, your Majesty, in the humble opinion of this king, your time on the throne is still short, which is too much to worry about. ”

After Zhu Changxun finished speaking, he turned his head to everyone and continued: "Ministers, are you right? ”

When the ministers saw that someone came forward to solve the current embarrassing situation, which one did not climb up the pole, they all said yes again and again, and the frequency of nodding was high to the ground.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to the ministers' thoughts, and said to Shi Feng: "Master Shi, tell me, what have you done in the Internal Inspection Institute these days?" ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Shi Fenglai again, as the first envoy of the Internal Investigation Academy, the officials in the Beijing Division did not know what he did, they only knew that this institution was directly under the orders of the emperor, and at this moment was named by the emperor, and the ministers all felt a sense of foreboding!
