Originally, the marriage between Zhu Cihong and Sun Ruoxuan was just a compromise and consideration under the needs of the government. But when Sun Ruoxuan entered the palace, she gave Zhu Cihong a great surprise.

I have to say that Sun Chuanting's tutors are all first-class, and Sun Ruoxuan is indeed fully in line with everyone's identity. There is nothing to say about talent, but what is rare is that temperament and talent also make the people in the palace unable to make a trace of mistakes.

In the past few days of entering the palace, Sun Ruoxuan has maintained a low-key style, treated Zhu Cihong with respect, and never talked about the government, what is even more surprising is that after entering the palace, he began to work for Zhu Cihong to select concubines and show girls to enter the palace. This made Zhu Cihong also very pleased.

But today, Sun Ruoxuan is dressed in Zhai clothes, wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, which is completely dressed as a dress, but she came to Wuying Hall to meet Zhu Cihong solemnly.

The courtiers built the three major halls of Emperor Yixing at the level, but it was easy to say, but Zhu Cihong knew how difficult it was. Not to mention anything else, this money alone is a hurdle to pass. The financial embarrassment of the Chongzhen Dynasty also continued to the Yixing Dynasty. Originally, there was still some silver in the inner pocket, but with the fall of the Jingshi, the only bit of silver fell into the purse of the Dashun army.

If it weren't for Wang Pin's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver deposited from Shandong, I am afraid that Emperor Yixing would also be poor and unable to open the pot. As soon as the new dynasty was established, Zhu Cihong waved his pen and exempted Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi from paying taxes for three years. Now those provinces are not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. But Emperor Yixing's move attracted the verbal criticism of the Jiangnan gentry, who also belonged to the Ming Dynasty, why did the emperor favor one over the other, and the whim of Zhu Cihong and the ministers caused a lot of trouble to themselves.

All parts of Jiangnan, Yunnan-Guizhou, Jiangxi, Liangguang, and Fujian have all gone up to the top, asking for a one-year tax exemption. for the people to spend the years of famine. Originally, Zhu Cihong and his ministers hoped to use this move to win back the hearts of the landless officials and the people, but they didn't expect it to backfire, but it was a reason for the Jiangnan gentry to attack.

The court moved to Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty seemed to continue on the surface, but this Ming Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing's court, after hundreds of years of infiltration, the power of the Jiangnan gentry has been extraordinary, making the start of the Yixing Dynasty difficult.

The same is true of today's court discussions. According to Zhu Cihong's thoughts, now in the north, there are still many people with great wisdom, and Gao Jie and other generals have been fighting in the north of the river. At present, the most important thing is to gather the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and take advantage of the fact that the thieves have not yet gained a stable foothold, and immediately launch the Northern Expedition to recover the homeland with the king's division. But Zhu Cihong's plan was strongly resisted by the courtiers.

The courtiers' reasons were varied. The most critical of these is nothing more than the establishment of the Yixing Dynasty. At present, the new dynasty needs a process of recuperation and accumulation, silver, soldiers and horses are the most scarce things at present, in case the northern expedition is frustrated, but the Dashun army seized the opportunity to go south, then the Yixing Dynasty wants to be in a corner of peace. It is also unavailable.

In the final analysis, as the representatives of the gentry in Jiangnan, the courtiers in Nanjing had their own plans, and they finally replaced the pride of heaven in Beijing, so they naturally did not allow their interests to be suppressed again. Even if it's the Son of Heaven. They also did not hesitate to fight.

Therefore, the young Emperor Yixing was naturally angry, but he was helpless. At this time, seeing Sun Ruoxuan coming to him in a formal suit, he was even more angry.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Cihong suppressed his anger and asked.

"The concubine means that there is something wrong with His Majesty's actions in the court today!" Sun Ruoxuan replied calmly.

Zhu Cihong slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair, "What's wrong?" You should be a person who knows how to measure, how can you suddenly care about the government? ”

Wang Pin, who was serving on the side, trembled, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Sun Ruoxuan raised his head, and the beautiful arc of his face appeared in front of Zhu Cihong, which made the unhappiness and anger in his heart suddenly weaken a little. "The concubine thinks that His Majesty's reward and appointment for the concubine's father are some, a little too much!"

At first, I thought that Sun Ruoxuan was also here to persuade him to temporarily give up the Northern Expedition, but hearing such a sentence made Zhu Cihong's heart feel relieved, "Oh? Is it? ”。

"The concubine was favored by His Majesty, and now she is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and the old father is also in charge of the position of Dingbei Uncle, and the eldest brother of the concubine has also been promoted to the rank of squire of the military department, which is already a deep and extremely gifted to the Sun family. The concubine is not talented, and when she heard about today's court discussion, His Majesty specially drafted the cabinet to order the concubine's father to be the governor of the five provinces, and he was in charge of the soldiers and horses of several provinces, and he was in charge of the northern expedition. The concubine thought that such a favor was ...... for the Sun family and the father and daughter of the concubine! ”

Sun Ruoxuan's words made Zhu Cihong laugh involuntarily, "Today's words, I'm afraid this is what Dingbei Bo and the queen mean, right?" ”

Sun Ruoxuan saluted solemnly again, "The Sun family was already a very popular minister, and the concubine was in the position of the queen, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a precedent, and the concubine dared to ask His Majesty to take back his life!" ”

Zhu Cihong stood up, walked down the imperial steps, helped Sun Ruoxuan up with his own hands, sighed and said, "Guozhang and you, but you are thinking a little too much!" I have just ascended the throne, and I believe you know that the current situation of the court is also clear to you, and I really need to use the courtiers to do things. Do you want to use Zhu Ping'an? ”。

Zhu Cihong was very emotional, "In the past, when I watched my father govern the world, I was also ambitious in my heart, and I always thought that once I ascended the throne, I would always have to make some great achievements that would make the ancestors and ancestors look at it, but once I reached this position, I found that it was so difficult to do something!" ”

Speaking of which, Guozhang is a little too cautious. But he also has to understand my difficulties, although now this half of the Ming Dynasty looks as usual, but after all, it is a ruined river and mountain, my father once said, 'Those who mislead the country and the monarch are all ministers!' 'In the past. Although there is some prevarication, but it is a wise saying, the courtiers only think about themselves one by one, the civil officials are in the party struggle, and the generals are gradually getting bigger, and the Ming Dynasty is still frightening step by step! ”

Zhu Cihong patted Sun Ruoxuan's slender palm. "Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Zhu Ping'an, and Zheng Zhilong are all town guards with strong soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the five people are not inferior to the thieves? But among them, Zuo Liangyu is old and frail; Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong only knew how to plunder; Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate and was far away in Fujian; Zhu Ping'an is willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but this person is a clan, but he is in charge, and he refuses to hand over the military power. Who do you dare to reuse? ”

"There is only the country. He has been in charge of the army for more than ten years, and his loyalty, courage and courage are often talked about by the first emperor, plus there is a virtuous queen like you, at such a critical juncture, how can I not burden him? Looking back, you also send a letter to the national abbot, listen less to the things outside, and take the training of the troops in Tuntian as the main point. Whoever you need, you will come to this book. Hand it directly to Wang Pin. If I need to do something, I will discuss it with Wang Pin! ”

Sun Ruoxuan smiled at this time, and bowed to Zhu Cihong, "Concubine thank the emperor for his holy grace!" ”

"The emperor is a talent, although he ascended the throne as a young man, he has already demonstrated the temperament of the hero. In time. It will certainly be able to make the government clear and clear, and the atmosphere of the society in the country will be new, and a few town generals who have arbitrarily rotated their powers are indeed not enough to worry about. Jiang Bin, a powerful minister of the Zhengde Dynasty, owned Xuanda, Liaozhen, Yansui, and Datong Quadrilateral Towns, and controlled hundreds of thousands of elites. In the end, wasn't it impossible to fight against the imperial power and end up with the death of the clan? With His Majesty's wisdom, Zhu Ping'an, Liu Liangzuo and the like, sooner or later, they will inevitably bow their heads and obey their orders and be at the mercy of His Majesty! ”

Listening to Sun Ruoxuan's words, Zhu Cihong laughed. Wang Pin on the side peeked at Sun Ruoxuan carefully. The queen mother in front of her, who is here today, is probably not as simple as her old father and grandson! In and out of these words, it always seems that they are aimed at a certain person!

Because of the incident in Jiushan Town, Wang Pin was also reprimanded by Zhu Cihong more than once, and the saint naturally didn't have to be at the beginning. This time, Wang Pin was not directly pushed to the position of the palm seal of the boss and supervisor, I am afraid that there is also this reason.

But Wang Pinjiu has been in Shandong for a long time, but he has a comprehensive and detailed understanding of military and political affairs, which is naturally not comparable to a person like Zhu Cihong who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.

Zhu Cihong has just ascended the throne as the emperor, and he is also young and vigorous, although Li Shichun and others have made suggestions, but in Wang Pin's view, such a government policy is lackluster. I think that if Yang Tinglin was here, it would not be what it is now.

Zhu Cihong was deeply influenced by his father Chongzhen, and his trust in the courtiers was limited to a few people such as Zheng Sanjun and Fang Yuegong, but although these people were in high positions, the power in their hands was very much the same as that of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Although he has only succeeded to the throne for a short time, the disadvantages of the imperial decree not being able to leave the cabinet are already beginning to appear. Zhu Cihong's control over the court situation is simply outrageously weak, and I am afraid that even he himself can't believe this situation.

Because of the tax reduction, there was a sharp confrontation between the courtiers and the imperial power, but Zhu Cihong had nothing to do, even the cadres like Zheng Sanjun and Fang Yuegong did not have the slightest solution to the current situation.

But under such circumstances, Zhu Cihong still insisted on his Northern Expedition plan without the slightest flexibility, which cannot but be said to be a very immature expression of his government affairs.

As far as today's court meeting is concerned, at the instigation of Li Shichun and others, Zhu Cihong lavishly rewarded Sun Chuanting and his eldest son Sun Shi'an, and planned to use Sun Chuanting as the first person in charge of military affairs, giving full play to his reputation in the army and the government and the opposition, so as to promote the Northern Expedition. This is understandable, after all, Sun Chuanting is now Zhu Cihong's father-in-law, and it is normal for people to love the house and Wu. But the head of the army has already made the courtiers very dissatisfied, and now he wants to promote Sun Chuanting to the top military commander of the dynasty, which is inevitably a bit hasty and out of place.

What's more, under the construction of Li Shichun and others, Zhu Cihong was impatient to start implementing his own plan of "cutting the domain". It is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to bring out a person like Sun Chuanting to suppress and weaken Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Zheng Zhilong, and Zhu Ping'an.

And Sun Ruoxuan, who came here today, on the surface, seems to be to resign for her father and show her virtuous temperament, but Wang Pin always feels that she has sprinkled a bowl of oil on this originally burning prosperous court! (To be continued......) R1071
