'Whoosh~~~' In the sharp chirp, a brilliant firework rose into the sky. With a beautiful firework piercing the sky, it spun and rushed into the red night reflected by the constantly shimmering earth.

After a crisp explosion, the fireworks turned into a dazzling halo, which made Chen Youdi and Princess Zhaoren, who set off fireworks in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, excitedly clapped their little hands red. Gao Yang brought over from modern time and space, and the colorful and gorgeous fireworks made these children extremely loved.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the lights can't help but be lit. The entire Jingshi was plunged into a sea of joy. As far as the eye can see, there are halos of light flickering everywhere in the night, as if fireworks are being set off in all directions. Most of the fireworks set off by the people in the city were purchased from the lifang. Colorful and very nice.

Gao Yang, who had just passed the Lantern Festival in the modern time and space a few days ago, had to pass it again after coming to the target time and space. Gao Yang also felt a little unbearable at this time.

The daily life of the royal family is similar to that of ordinary people, and they also have to celebrate festivals. As soon as the banquet for the ministers and the elderly in the front hall was over, Emperor Chongzhen invited Gao Yang to come to the Qianqing Palace to continue to participate in the royal family banquet.

"High Immortals." Emperor Chongzhen put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly to look at the colorful night illuminated by the fireworks, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he said softly: "Recently, I have always felt like I am living in a dream, and I can't believe it. At the beginning of the year, when Li counterattacked and entered the Beijing Division, I was already completely desperate, and I only thought about going to martyrdom and fulfilling my duty as the Son of Heaven. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at Gao Yang, hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a shallow smile, looked at Gao Yang inexplicably, and said softly, "But Gao Immortal, you fell from the sky." Saved me. Saved my wife and children, and saved my country. I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. ”

I looked at the queen concubines who ate and drank peacefully in the palace, and looked at the children who laughed wantonly, chased and played in the square in front of the palace, and set off colorful fireworks. Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were soft. tidied up his clothes a little, and solemnly bowed to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang shook his head helplessly. I took out a cigarette and lit it. After exhaling the smoke ring, he sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "Okay, that is, you are willing to be buried for this country, and you have not insulted your status as an emperor." Unlike those who encountered an enemy attack, the enemy army was still hundreds of miles away, and they hurriedly thought about going to patrol Chengde and go west to Xi'an. Shame on those who have left a huge country to the enemy to plunder. That's the fundamental reason why I'm willing to save you. ”

After a pause, he stepped forward to help Emperor Chongzhen up, looked into his eyes, and said with a solemn expression, "No matter what you have done, what kind of evaluation you have." It's enough that you're willing to die for this country. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's body paused slightly, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything more.

Wang Chengen, who quietly bowed his head and hid aside as if he didn't exist, frowned quietly. I quickly thought about where Chengde was? Why did the high gods say this? Xi'an Mansion is okay to say, everyone knows. But where is Chengde? And also. What does a safari westbound do? Who did it? Why did the high immortal say these things?

Wang Chengen can be the close minister of the Son of Heaven and the important position of the eunuch. How is it possible that there is no ink in the stomach? A guy like Wei Zhongxian, who doesn't know a word, can be powerful and powerful entirely because of the emperor's favor. It has nothing to do with talent, and it is also one in ten thousand.

How could Emperor Chongzhen, who got rid of Wei Zhongxian, let someone who was incapable stay by his side. Write a good hand. Wang Chengen, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, does not say that he knows astronomy, but geography. But at least the intellect is also above the middle.

"That's it, when the palace door opens tomorrow, I'll go to the household department to check. Let's see where this Chengde is. After pressing the doubts in his heart, Wang Chengen continued to bow down and stand aside, looking at his nose and waiting for the dispatch.

"Please also ask the high gods to continue to protect my Daming in the future, Zhu Youzhen is grateful!" Emperor Chongzhen had already understood Gao Yang's strong strength, and at this time, he had nothing else to think about in his heart, he just wanted to make friends with Gao Yang with all his might. He has been an emperor for so long. Naturally, he can understand that Gao Yang can praise him. Let him fly into the clouds, and he can also make him fall into the abyss!

"Don't overthink it." Gao Yang narrowed his smiling eyes. hooked the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and patted Emperor Chongzhen's shoulder gently, and said with a chuckle, "You should be able to see that I have no interest in your position." I have what you have, and I have everything you don't! I don't deny that I do all this with some special purpose. But since what I'm doing is good for you, don't worry too much about it. When I leave, everything here will be yours. ”

In the distance, Empress Zhou and the others, who were quietly looking at this side with their spare eyes, looked at Gao Yang in surprise, smiling and talking to the emperor as if they were treating the younger generations. This kind of thing is really too perverse. However, that is an omnipotent high immortal, and the immortal and the emperor should be about the same, right?

"What should I do next?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about Gao Yang's disrespectful behavior. It is estimated that in his heart, only Gao Yang's identity can do this kind of thing.

"What does Your Majesty think?" Gao Yang took out a cigarette and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and with a sound of 'ding~~~', he threw off the lighter and lit it for the emperor.

Gao Yang's eyes looked at the children in the square who were laughing and chasing with fireworks, and said softly, "There are three choices for the time being. The first is to go north, destroy Jianyu in one fell swoop, and recover Shenyang. At the same time, the Guan Ning Army was incorporated to eliminate the largest local force in the country. However, the remnants of the Jianyu may flee back to Baishan and Heishui, and it will be difficult to pursue them. Moreover, the Guanning army is used to being semi-independent, and there may be a firefight. ”

Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath of cigarette, the orange cigarette butt reflected his complex and changing eyes, and he was silent.

Gao Yang smiled, raised his hand and pinched his chin, and then said, "Second, the navy will go south to seize the island of Taiwan." Restore the connection to Jiangnan by sea and regain control of this source of taxation in the world. However, it is not peaceful here, all kinds of forces crisscross it, and there are countless noble and noble families. Wanting to carry out large-scale transformation like Beizhili will inevitably cause a fierce backlash from these people. When the time comes, your majesty will not be surprised. ”

Gao Yang doesn't care about any nobles. Since he has made up his mind to rectify the Ming Empire, these parasites naturally cannot be let go. The whole Jiangnan is the financial center of the world. Affluent to the point of shocking. But in the same way, this is also the place that the world's most valuable people are looking for.

Most of the best paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River have been divided. Almost all of the shops have big owners behind them. The overseas shipping trade is also monopolized by these people. The royal relatives and the high-ranking families connected everyone together with a dense network of complex connections like spider webs. Whichever one is moved, it will trigger a fierce backlash from everyone.

After Gao Yang launched a purge of the powerful people in Jingshi, the impeachment recitals sent from the Jiangnan Sea Road had already filled the entire imperial study.

Because the distance is too far, the people in Jiangnan officialdom don't know how powerful Gao Yang is, and they think that Gao Yang is just an ordinary emperor's favored minister. I want to use this way to force me to come to Gaoyang. How would they know that even the emperor was not taken seriously by Gao Yang, let alone them jumping clowns?!

These noble and high-ranking families can launch the 'Red Pill Case' and 'Palace Removal Case' for the sake of interests, and even the emperor dares to move. It's not a big deal if you want to attack Gao Yang.

It's a pity that they met Gao Yang this time. He's just doing business here, doing what he wants to do. How could Gao Yang, who patted his ass and left at about the same time, put them in his eyes? In Gao Yang's eyes, these hundred-year-old high gates are just a swarm of ants.

Gao Yang is saying this to Emperor Chongzhen now, just to give him a wake-up call. He will definitely have to do these things in the future, so that he has a bottom in his heart. After all, there are many feudal kings and imperial relatives in Jiangnan.

Emperor Chongzhen also understood what Gao Yang meant. frowned, pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, just smoked hard.

There was nothing he could do about it. Knowing that what Gao Yang did was good for the empire, it could effectively alleviate the contradictions that had become very acute after a hundred years of accumulation. Deep down, he also wants to get rid of the powerful who do nothing but bad things. However, most of those people were his relatives after all.

Gao Yang stared at the change in Emperor Chongzhen's complexion, half-hanging his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked. chuckled, threw away the cigarette in his hand, and continued, "Of course, there is a third option, that is, the army will march west and go to Xi'an Mansion to destroy Li Zicheng's Great Shun Dynasty." ”

Gao Yang himself knew that he was exterminating, but in fact, he wanted to force Li Zicheng away. Running away when you can't beat it is an active skill that Li Zicheng has used for many years.

As long as Li Zicheng escapes, then he can be driven all the way to those places where there are many royal relatives and high-ranking families to plague those powerful people. After that, the army slowly followed to regain the lost territory, and reorganized the place where the superstructure had been cleared and reorganized according to the model of Beizhili.

When attacking Xuanda some time ago, the old battalion soldiers under Li Guo were in full pursuit, and they must be killed. Except that these people are full of evil and should have died a long time ago after doing too many evil deeds. Another important reason is to reduce the power in Li Zicheng's hands as much as possible, so as to prevent him from being carried away, thinking that he has a strong power in his hands and wants to compete with Gao Yang's new army.

If Li Zicheng really doesn't know what to do, then Gao Yang can't do too much. Blatantly letting go of these low-fighting guys would hurt the self-esteem and morale of the new army. The best option, naturally, was to let him run away on his own. Therefore, it became a very important thing to weaken the power in his hands as much as possible.
