Just three days after Liu Fan arrived at the rope pond, Liu Fan's recital also arrived in the capital. In the Qianqing Palace www.biquge.info the Imperial Palace, Luo Yangxing personally met Chongzhen and handed over the fold to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty!" This is a fold sent by Liu Fan! Please take a look! ”

Chongzhen took the fold and asked at the same time, "Liu Fan's fold?" Did he say anything? ”

Luo Yangxing replied, "The person who sent the fold only said that he would hand it over to His Majesty in person, but he didn't say anything else!" However, according to the news from Henan's Jinyi Wei secret agent, Liu Fan has left Wu'an at this moment and headed for Rope Pond! ”

Chongzhen asked with some confusion, "Rope pool?" Why don't he stay in Wu'an and go to the rope pond to do something? ”

Luo Yangxing analyzed, "Wei Chen guesses that Liu Fan's purpose is to prevent the rogues from escaping, and Gu is the first to block the back road of the rogues!" ”

Chongzhen sighed and said, "It's hard to worry about national affairs so much!" All right! I know! You go down first! ”

After Luo Yangxing left, Chongzhen picked up the folds on the case and looked at it carefully. In the first sentence of the eye, Liu Fan said, the rogue is a fraud, and then Liu Fan analyzed the reasons for Chongzhen, first of all, starting with Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong has been on the road of rebellion since the first year of Chongzhen, and it has been five or six years now, these five or six years, Zhang Xianzhong has completely transformed from the original official forced rebellion to a professional rebel, a speculator, what he cares about is not the suffering of the displaced people and the people, but the right and his own desires. From the perspective of later generations, history has clearly recorded that from the first year of Chongzhen to the 17th year of Chongzhen, no matter how desperate the situation is, Zhang Xianzhong has no idea of surrendering. As one of the two major leaders of the Liukou alongside Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's harm was too great, and even in the end he established his own regime and became the emperor of the soil.

In the end, Liu Fan said earnestly, this is a rare opportunity to exterminate the Liukou, once it is missed, the court does not know how much effort it will have to make for this in the future. Liu Fan couldn't bear to let Daming repeat the mistakes of the past, so he hoped that Chongzhen could think about Daming and not accept the deception of the rogue.

After reading the recital written by Liu Fan, Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head, what Liu Fan said was his own speculation, and there was obviously something incomprehensible between the words, Chongzhen knew that Liu Fan must have something to hide. But Liu Fan's attitude Chongzhen can see it, and Liu Fan is resolutely against appeasement. After thinking about it for a long time, Chongzhen sighed, as if to himself, as if to Liu Fan, who was far away in the rope pool, and said to himself, "Jimin! Helping the people! I know you're right, but the situation is out of control! What can the court do if it has no money and no food? You also said that those rogues are just some ringworm scabies after all, as long as you have money and food, you can control it, and Jianyu is the enemy of life and death of my Ming Dynasty! I also want to keep some strength to deal with Huang Taiji! After all, fighting a war is to kill people, and the power of the Ming Dynasty cannot be used on the Liukou! So even if I knew about the sinister intentions of the rogue, I had to pinch my nose and admit it! ”

Chongzhen was in a tangled mood, he was not interested in watching the twists and turns anymore, and paced aimlessly in the Qianqing Palace. At this moment, Tian Guifei came to the Qianqing Palace with ginseng tea, and when she saw Chongzhen's troubled look, she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty!" Why don't you even watch the recital today? Why are you so upset? ”

Chongzhen took Tian Guifei's ginseng tea, took a sip and said with a wry smile: "It's not Jimin yet!" He sent me an excerpt and advised me not to accept the surrender of the rogue. He said that this is a deception, and I want not to believe it! ”

Concubine Tian was surprised: "Fraud? Since Jimin said that it was a fraud, there must be a basis for it! Your Majesty would rather believe it than believe it! According to the concubines, your majesty should convene the ministers to discuss! ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "I also have my own troubles, although what Jimin said has some truth. But the affairs of the imperial court are not as simple as right and wrong! You also have to consider the gains and losses, even if you know that some things are wrong, you have to pretend not to know! If you don't understand the national affairs, don't get involved! Don't be troubled by this picture! ”

Concubine Tian said angrily, "Okay! The concubines don't understand the major affairs of the country, but the concubines can always take care of this matter! Your Majesty, the concubine has heard that Jimin has won the battle, but is there such a thing? ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Hmm! Yes, Jimin has indeed won a great victory! Not only did they defeat the 36th Battalion of Liukou, but they also captured more than 60,000 people! ”

Concubine Tian exclaimed, "Sixty thousand, so many? Aren't there many of these thieves left? ”

Chongzhen smiled, "Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" Jimin has defeated the main force of the Rogues, and now the Rogues are cornered, so they want to ask me to surrender! Jimin said that this was a trick of the Liukou, and he wanted to exterminate the Liukou with all his might, but the court had no money, so the courtiers objected. That's why I'm upset! ”

Concubine Tian was a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty! Didn't Jimin send someone to bring us a million taels of tax silver after the autumn harvest? Why is there no money again? ”

Chongzhen's face instantly became ugly when he heard this, and he said angrily, "One million taels!" I allocated 500,000 taels to the household department on the front foot, but Hou Sui on the back foot told me that the household department had no money! How long has it been? In just two months, plus more than one million taels of autumn tax, nearly two million taels of silver are gone! This is still four or five months before the spring tax! How did you spend these four or five months? These moths, I sometimes want to kill them all! Hum! Daming has this situation, all thanks to these fools! ”

Chongzhen scolded angrily for a long time, still unable to understand his anger, paced around the Qianqing Palace, and finally sat in front of the case, patted the case and scolded, "Corpse vegetarian meal!" No one can be trusted! ”

Tian Feilian moved lightly, quietly walked behind Chongzhen, gently pressed Chongzhen's shoulder, opened her lips lightly, and persuaded her when she heard the voice, "Your Majesty!" Don't be angry with these bastards, it's not worth it! We still have loyal ministers! Just like Jimin, hasn't Jimin always been relieving His Majesty's worries? ”

Chongzhen's anger gradually subsided, and he nodded and said, "What Concubine Ai said is reasonable!" It's really not worth it for these bastards! Or Jimin... Well? Aifei, why do you care about the affairs of the court today? Aren't you a period in which you rarely get involved with the imperial court? ”

Concubine Tian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Majesty! You can see it! The concubine thought that His Majesty had already found out! Well! The concubine does have something to find Your Majesty! ”

Chongzhen was speechless, turned his head to look at Concubine Tian, and said with a smile after half a sound, "Okay!" It's rare that the concubine has something to do with me, and I can't refute the concubine's face! Say, what's the matter? ”

Concubine Tian's bright smile disappeared instantly, and she said with a sad face, "Hey! The concubine shouldn't have said it! But my father came to the capital a few days ago and cried to his concubines, saying that my little sister had been washing her face with tears every day recently, and she saw that everyone was losing weight! The father feels sorry for the little sister and wants the concubine to help! The concubine is also this baby sister, the little sister is sad, and the concubine is not comfortable being a sister, so I want to ask Your Majesty for help! ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said confusedly, "Shuying's daughter's family, how can I help?" (To be continued.) )
