Zhang Yan couldn't bear it anymore, her sharp gaze fell on Zhang Zhun's body, and she said angrily: "Zhang Zhun, you whitewash yourself as if you are a saint reborn, as if you have never had any shortcomings or mistakes!" Have you never done anything wrong? The Tartars have already hit Shandong, and you still want to dig the corners of the imperial court! What good is it for you to do this? Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Thank you for the praise of the queen mother!" Actually, if you don't say it, I think so too. Not only do I want to dig into the corners of the court, but I also want to replace the court. You say, which point of Chongzhen is better than me? Commander, strategy, wisdom, force, charisma, which is better than me? ”

Zhang Yan was slightly stunned. This is a straightforward question. She was about to open her mouth to answer, but the words came to her lips, but she shrank back again. Damn, which point of Chongzhen is better than him? If it had been before, Zhang Yan could talk endlessly for a few hours, praise Chongzhen's strengths, and whitewash him. But now, in front of Zhang Zhun, she is now that she must not talk nonsense. Otherwise, once Zhang Zhun catches the loophole, it will be plugged back immediately. Commander? As the supreme commander of the army, Chongzhen has more than one million troops under his command. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people in Dajin Kingdom, the advantage is too great. However, even with a huge numerical advantage, the Ming army was defeated in successive battles, lost a large amount of vital forces, lost a large area of land, and spent countless military expenses.

The most fatal thing is that the Tatars entered the Kou three times in a row, "regarded the Ming Kingdom as their own back garden", "came when they wanted, left when they wanted, and brought a lot of gifts when they left." There are also the rebellious army in Shaanxi, wandering everywhere, fighting everywhere, making the imperial court tired, and almost all the places where the rebellious army in Shaanxi pass through are a piece of erosion.

If it is said that Chongzhen's commander is clever, Zhang Yan himself doesn't believe it. So clever that robbers broke into their homes to kill people and set fires? Let the thieves in Shaanxi destroy half of the Central Plains? Let most of China have displaced people? The Emperor of the Apocalypse was busy doing carpentry all day long, and it didn't seem to be so miserable! Strategy? As the king of a country, it is indeed difficult to achieve things without a long-term strategy. However, what Chongzhen's long-term strategy is, Zhang Yan really doesn't know very well. When Chongzhen first ascended the throne, he eradicated the eunuch party and used a large number of Donglin party backbones. But later, "the current Donglin Party members are not good, so they revert to using eunuch members." As a result, the troublesome party and the Donglin party continued to pinch each other, and the party struggle became even more fierce than before.

On the issue of eunuchs, Chongzhen was also repeated and indecisive. In the beginning, a large number of eunuchs were exiled, which greatly limited the power of the eunuchs. Later, it was still the eunuchs who used it more easily, so a large number of eunuchs were used. As a result, now "almost all the main powers of the Ming Kingdom are in the hands of eunuchs." Gao Qiqian, Wang Kun, Zhang Yixian, Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen...", which three are not eunuchs?

As for the ministers, it's even more complicated. Chongzhen has been on the throne for nine years, "Nearly thirty cabinet ministers have been replaced, and several assistants have also been replaced. What is a Cabinet Minister? is the emperor's assistant" is a continuation of the national policy. The frequent change of national policies will inevitably lead to the failure of government decrees and the failure of national policies. Different ministers have different understandings of government decrees, and the consequence of frequent changes is that policies cannot be implemented at all, and the officials below are at a loss. Since they are at a loss, there are only rogues who have come to Shaanxi in chaos, like mushrooms after the rain, constantly popping up, and the officials and soldiers are killing endlessly, and the local government's expropriation and tyranny are absolutely inseparable. Even Zhang Yan knows this. Chongzhen continued to increase his salary, and what the court got was actually only a few million taels of silver, but the people paid at least tens of millions of taels. Where did the difference go? Of course, it went into the pockets of officials at all levels. Chongzhen himself has been infamous through the ages, but he has not received real benefits.

The frequent change of cabinet ministers has also led to the disorder of various government affairs. Generally speaking, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty were about six people. These six people "have a different division of labor. If the cabinet is stable, even if the emperor is not concerned with political affairs, state institutions can still operate normally. The original Jiajing and Wanli Emperors did not go to court for decades, and the state institutions were all in operation, because the ministers were relatively stable.

To put it mildly, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is an idiot, as long as the ministers remain stable, the country will not have major problems. The problem now is that Chongzhen himself has completely disrupted the cabinet system, and the cabinet ministers seem to be replaced by a marquee, and the role of the cabinet cannot be waved at all. As a result, he was exhausted in vain, but he was also thankless. How can he be stronger than six people in his ability?

In terms of military strategy, Chongzhen is also vacillating, and basically responds passively. At the beginning, Chongzhen didn't care much about the Shaanxi rebellion, thinking that it was just a disease of mustard, not enough to mention, and Yang He, the governor of the three sides, could deal with it. At present, as long as the task is to destroy the Tartars outside the gate. Especially the first entry of the Tartars, which stimulated Chongzhen a lot, so that the strategic core of Chongzhen has always been on the Tartars.

However, as the Shaanxi rebel army became more and more ferocious, there were more and more broken places, and the impact on the country was getting bigger and bigger, and Chongzhen's strategic core had to be transferred to the side of the thief. Chongzhen replaced Yang He, appointed and dismissed Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou and other fierce people, and chased and intercepted the thieves. It's a pity that the thieves were not pacified, no one exploded in the battle of the Daling River, and Chongzhen's center of gravity had to return to the Tartars' side.

Subsequently, the thieves transferred to the Central Plains and gathered in large numbers in Henan, threatening the heart of the Ming Empire, Chongzhen's strategy, and had to return to the side of the thieves. After investing a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, the imperial court finally forced the thieves into the Carriage Gorge, but due to a mistake, the thieves escaped. Since then, Chongzhen has continued to work hard, hoping to create another car compartment gorge. It's a pity that the second time the Tartar entered the Kou, he pulled Chongzhen's attention back.

In general, "in the face of the two-sided attack of the Tartars and the thieves, Chongzhen's response has always been passive. He once formulated a strategy to settle the outside world first, trying to pacify the thieves in one fell swoop, and then fight the Tartars to the death. But "this strategy" was not strictly enforced. The consequences of the passive response are obviously serious, that is, the troops are transferred from place to place, extremely tired, and the mood of war weariness is very strong.

Wisdom? Zhang Yan believes that Chongzhen is a smart person and a very smart person. Chongzhen's city is also quite deep. This can be seen from the process of eradicating Wei Zhongxian after he took office. In order to completely eradicate Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen used a lot of means. In the end, the eunuch party was eradicated in one fell swoop" Chongzhen also won the title of Mingjun.

However, Chongzhen's cleverness seems to have been used in places, and there has been no achievement in terms of big strategies. He abolished the post station, and as a result, he came up with a Li Zicheng. He ordered a series of raises, which provoked more thieves. Let's not talk about other things for the time being" is the current Beizhili, a piece of erosion, Tartar is raging, and the imperial court has no strategy at all.

In addition, for the sake of the financial problems of the imperial court, "Chongzhen has already racked his brains" and has nothing to do. He originally wanted the emperor's relatives to donate a little money, and wanted to take Li Guorui's family first, but as a result, Li Guorui made a big fuss and had to cancel it stupidly. As an emperor, he can't even handle a marquis, so he can't be considered smart?

Force? This is even more so. The big guy in front of him is a frequent visitor on the battlefield, "It is said that he has bloody blood on his body." Chongzhen has never been out of the deep palace. If Chongzhen and Zhang Zhun meet, Chongzhen will not be killed by Zhang Zhun with a fist, "It is already very lucky."

Of course, for those who are superior, others are more concerned with the force they have at their disposal, rather than their own force. In terms of the number of troops, Chongzhen is indeed much stronger than Zhang Zhun. At the very least, the current Emperor Chongzhen has an army of more than 600,000. However, can this show that Chongzhen's force is stronger than Zhang Zhun? Zhang Yan didn't dare to guarantee it.

The number of the Tiger Ben Army is certainly not much, it may only be tens of thousands, but it will definitely not exceed 50,000. However, their war debts are all real. The Tiger Ben Army has wiped out so many Tartars and created miracles that no one else can create at all. In terms of military exploits, Zhang Zhun wanted to throw off Chongzhen a few streets. In the contest between the Tiger Army and the official army, the official army was also defeated in successive battles, and it was unbearable to see.

Charm? Perhaps, the only thing Chongzhen can win steadily is this. No matter how Chongzhen looks at it, it is much more pleasing to the eye than the big man in front of him. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, Chongzhen are all attained. Zhang Zhunqing did not. To say that Chongzhen's charm can be scored ninety, Zhang Zhun is only thirty points at most. I don't understand why Ji Yuqing is willing to go with him, it's like a gorilla, it's too ugly.

Of course, Zhang Yan can never admit that Zhang Zhun is better than Chongzhen. Zhang Zhun is an enemy of the imperial court, how can she admit that the enemy is stronger than herself? Isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy one's own prestige? Therefore, she said awe-inspiringly: "You are a strong word! The Son of Heaven is rich and loving, how can a thief like you be compared? ”

Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "If he is not your husband's younger brother, can he sit in this position?" Still rich? I dare to pack a ticket, in less than five years, he will have to get out of Beijing! I dare say that any change of person may do better than him! Zhang Yan said angrily: "You are a bloody squirting person!" Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, his expression was relaxed, and he said indifferently: "Then the queen might as well spray me, everyone is considered to be flat."

……”

Zhang Yanfeng's eyes were angry, and she said sharply: "You! I wanted to say something, but I couldn't. Only then did she remember that she and Zhang Zhun had been arguing for a long time. For her, the former queen, she has never had such a heated argument with anyone. Now she is a little tired and a little thirsty. She needs to take a break before she can continue to compete with Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun had no intention of stopping talking, and continued: "In history, there are two kinds of treatment of the last royal family. One is Zen, so that the royal family can start and finish well. Despite losing power, he saved his life. One is total extinction, obscured by the dust of history. "I think Chongzhen should think about Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Weizong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, their fate, and the fate of their wives and children. If he is a smart person, he should make a wise choice......"

Zhang Yan immediately forgot her tiredness and said sharply: "There are more rebels in history, and there are more people who have been exterminated by their families!" Think about Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, think about Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, "think about Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Huan Jiande", think about Wang Bo, Li Shun, think about Fang La, Zhong Xiang, Yang Qi. You'd better stop at the precipice and get lost......"

Zhang Zhun's gaze fell on Zhang Yan's body unabashedly, and he said with an awe-inspiring expression: "As a woman, you are very beautiful." As a queen, you are the object that many men want to conquer. Whether it's me, Li Zicheng, or Huang Taiji, if you forcibly break through Beijing in the future, you won't be able to die well......"

Zhang Yan said awe-inspiringly: "The palace has prepared a three-foot white silk early in the morning" If you can't do anything, you will follow your husband, and it will definitely not fall into the hands of you traitors. Zhang Zhun nodded, and said in a good time: "Since the queen mother has such determination, I won't say anything more." Seriously, when the queen mother was in Tianjin Wei, I was still a little worried, "In case the Tartars attack Tianjin Wei and the queen mother falls into the hands of the Tartars, Chongzhen doesn't know what to do......"

Zhang Yan said proudly: "Although this palace is a female streamer, it is not a person who cowers!" ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I know the courage of the queen. You don't need to stress about that. Now, "Shouldn't we talk about my marriage......?"

Zhang Yan showed a hint of sarcastic smile, and said coldly: "This palace begs you, you don't promise anything." Now, it's your turn to ask Hongu? Zhang Zhun shook his head and said solemnly: "Zhang Yan, I didn't beg you, you took the initiative to come to me." Have I invited you to come? No. Do I need you to officiate? Do you need to give Yang Yinghan the title of county lord? Seriously, I don't need to. But why are you coming? "Because" you want to show the whole world in this way that "I, Zhang Zhun, am still a member of the imperial court." You, Empress Yi'an, still have the ability to bestow me glory and wealth. It is you who want to prove the existence of the imperial court, not me who wants to prove the existence of the imperial court. ”

Zhang Yan bit her lip lightly, staring at the thief in front of her.

That's right, Zhang Zhun's every sentence is really too damning. Every sentence just fell on Zhang Yan's soft underbelly. Now she feels that all her disguises have been broken by Zhang Zhun. She stood in front of Zhang Zhun empty, without the slightest thing to hide. This feeling is very uncomfortable and embarrassing.

That's right, she is so proactive to prove the existence of the imperial court, to prove that the imperial court is still above him Zhang Zhun, to prove that the imperial court is still capable of controlling him Zhang Zhun, and to prove that the imperial court still has the need to exist. If Zhang Zhun had completely put aside the existence of the imperial court, the imperial court would be even more embarrassed.

In the final analysis, it is still Zhang Zhun, a thief, who controls the territory that is too close to Jingshi. No matter how wreaking havoc the rebels in Shaanxi, they did not dare to come to the vicinity of Jingshi. In other words, the Kyoshi is safe for the time being. But Zhang Zhun is different. Zhang Zhun could besiege the Jingshi at any time and annihilate the entire imperial court.

In addition, Cao Yun is also a great tragedy. Zhang Zhun's territory just cut off the luck. The fleet of the Tiger Ben Army and Navy was stuck in Bohai Bay, and the grain and material finances and taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it was transportation or shipping, were completely blocked. As long as Zhang Zhun is willing, he can completely besiege the Jingshi firmly, and then sit back and wait for the Jingshi to run out of food and perish naturally.

"I asked you to come, not because the Tiger Army needed it, but because Yang Yinghan needed it. She is just an ordinary woman who has no other strengths than kindness. You are willing to give her the title of lord of the county, I welcome it. If you are willing to officiate at our wedding, I welcome you. However, I want you to know that this incident will not change the relationship between the Tiger Benjun and the imperial court. "In addition, from a private point of view, I don't recommend that you accompany Chongzhen to the funeral. Seriously, it's not worth it. The change of dynasty is not as difficult as you think. When the dynasty is no longer able to meet the needs of its people, it will naturally be abandoned. It's like the original Yuan Empire was overthrown by Emperor Taizu. History is just another cycle. Zhang Zhun paused slightly and said slowly.

"Zhang Zhun, do you hate the court so much?"

Zhang Yan slowly calmed down her mood and asked faintly.

From Zhang Zhun here, she has already got a positive answer, that is, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Tiger Ben Army and the imperial court. No matter how hard she Zhang Yan tries, this will not fundamentally change. The only thing that can be changed is the hypocrisy and grievances of both sides, and the fierce Cheng Cheng of open and secret fighting.

Zhang Zhun looked at the far northwest, where the Jingshi was located. He said slowly: "To be precise, I don't hate the person named Zhu Youzhen, I hate the entire social system and the people around him." Not including you, of course. Look at the people around him, who are they? Gao Qiqian, Wang Kun, Zhang Yixian, Cao Huachun, Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong...... Which of them is the best of the best? You Zhang Yan asked herself, do you think they really have the ability to save the court? ”

Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "You don't have to tell me this, I don't want to hear it." ”

Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "In that case, why did you come to Dengzhou City?" Prepare your three-foot white silk, wait for the ending, wouldn't that be better......"

Zhang Yan suffocated slightly, waiting for the ending?

Waiting for the three-foot white silk hanging sorghum to commit suicide?

Is she really willing? Is she really willing to sit still?

Continue to ask for a monthly pass......
