Just when Zhang Hongbin was buried in the case for his own banking industry, Daming, which is adjacent to the Republic in the east, was surging with undercurrents.

Chongzhen was a young man, and he was not a prince, and he had not learned the emperor's mental arts. Such an emperor does not know how to use power at all, mobilizing the ministers to fight, in order to balance the balance between several power groups, and then take advantage of it. It is easy for him to trust others at first, and he can easily shake his trust in others.

This is not surprising, but after he defeated Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party with the help of the Donglin Party, he found out that the Donglin Party was also using him to achieve their goal of completely controlling the government. When he was young, he had a feeling of being deceived, so he was willing to believe in the people he had promoted, and also believed in their talents, but he was easily influenced by others.

It is precisely because of this mentality that when Yuan Chonghuan was framed, those boundless speculations made him disappointed and doubted his vision. In the end, in a daze, he gave the order for Ling Chi to execute Yuan Chonghuan. As for whether he regretted it afterwards, I'm afraid that only he knows.

Maybe it was because of Yuan Chonghuan's time that he has matured a lot, learned to doubt people, and learned to seriously believe in a person, such as Gao Qiqian.

One is that he is an internal servant, and when the Donglin Party is not credible, he can only go back to his imperial brother's old path and favor the eunuch party. Gao Qiqian can be said to be the only cronie by his side who has caught up with the battlefield and is not scared. Therefore, he believed in Gao Qiqian's ability and repeatedly made him a prisoner.

Who knows, Gao Qiqian did not make a big deal before the war, and when he wanted to fight, he did not move, either delayed the rescue or retreated in advance. Probably because he was worried about being punished, he killed the good and risked the merit. If it is rare for our generals to make a little credit, they will also run to compete with others, and they will not even take the credit directly to themselves.

Chongzhen may also know such news, but he would rather believe that it is someone else's frame, unswerving, and even can only make mistakes and go wrong. One is that he has no one available, at least there are no more henchmen available; Second, he can't choose the wrong person again, even if he really chooses the wrong person, he can't admit it, otherwise he doesn't know anyone? This kind of evaluation is often linked to the 'faint king'.

As a result, Gao Qiqian failed repeatedly, so that after that, Gao Qiqian was directly pampered and arrogant. Not only was he more arrogant at the front line, but he also ran faster and faster when he really fought, and even ran away when he heard the news of the enemy's approach.

On the one hand, the government is controlled by the Donglin Party, and on the other hand, these cronies are constantly making him lose points, and he originally wanted to prosper in the Ming Dynasty, but it was all ruined by these villains.

Really counted, Chongzhen is also very pitiful......

In this time and space, after Chongzhen experienced what happened to Yuan Chonghuan, he also chose to believe in one person, that is, Li Luo.

Unconditional belief, so he had more military power, and then gradually expanded to the point where he is today. It is not denied that his own seizure of power has led to the independence of local forces. But the benefits are also very obvious, his power is back, and Da Ming is really getting stronger and stronger with the joint efforts of himself and Li Luo.

The first treasure ship has already been launched, and in two months, the second and third will also be launched.

At that time, with only these three treasure ships, plus the group of sailors who have just begun training, they will be able to wipe out the bandits in the East China Sea and protect the coast of the Ming Dynasty. On top of that, it was possible to trade in the ocean and earn a lot of money for the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. Even when needed, you can go directly to the south, and when the time comes, you can land wherever you want, and take the enemy by surprise!

Seeing his dynasty getting stronger and stronger, Chongzhen really felt that it was not wrong for him to trust Li Luo.

Li Luo's loyalty is not only written on his face, but also expressed in his actions.

It's a pity that in the end, he still went back to the constitutional monarchy, and his administrative power was somewhat deprived. But that's fine, as long as the military power is still in your hands, then no matter what happens, the country still belongs to you. As the man in the west said: If this parliament is in danger of my interests, then this system is not in line with my needs, and when the time comes, it is impossible to say that it will have to be changed.

The barbarians in the west, who have all become emperors, don't know how to call themselves 'I', they are really barbarians who don't understand etiquette.

But what is very sad is that now the country built by the barbarians is getting stronger and stronger...... It seems that the possibility of recovering the lost ground is getting smaller and smaller. Li Luo also seems to have said: "If this continues, maybe the two countries will divide the world equally, which is the best situation." ”

If you really want to talk about it, I am really unwilling in my heart.

Back to the back. In the palace, Chongzhen called Zhu Cihong, and of course several other little princes. Because of the change of the system, he can now accompany these children to some extent. When he heard about his actions in the west, Chongzhen came into contact with these children who he hadn't seen for a long time, and found that they had really become little adults, and he didn't know what it was like.

On the one hand, I am proud of their maturity and stability, and they are worthy of being their own children. On the one hand, I felt that what the guy said made sense: "It's all suffocated into a split personality, you have to hold back everything, you can't do anything, in the end, what else can you do except the wind and snow, what else can you do in the infighting?" ”

When Chongzhen found that the relationship between several princes was not harmonious, and even faintly divided into several factions, he really came to his senses.

No matter how hard it is in the future, you have to accompany them...... After a few contacts, and deliberately took them out to play a few times, he could really feel the very pure family affection between father and son.

Recalling that when I was a child, several princes were wary of each other, and father and son even had to play with caution, and this life was ...... It would be nice if the relationship between himself and the imperial brother was the same as they are now......

Chongzhen is still busy with his great cause of strengthening the country, and by the way, he is busy being a good father.

But he never thought that when he reformed again and again, bringing more and more benefits to the people below, it also made them have different ideas.

Rebellion or something, maybe not, after all, they are like grasshoppers on a rope. Not to mention that he is only afraid that he does not have the ability to continue the reform, but only that if he rebels and overthrows Chongzhen, no one can come to a conclusion about who will be the emperor.

In the end, everyone felt that the constitutional monarchy was indeed a good system, which could ensure that the emperor would still exist without much power, but he could not kill them at will. Having enjoyed such convenience, they naturally want to be more convenient.

There is no bottom line in people's hearts, and with benefits, they will hope that they can be maximized. The desire to fight for more interests is like the constitutional system of the English state advertised by the daily newspaper. It would be best if they could go further, but they were worried that they would anger Chongzhen, knowing that he had military power in his hands, and once he felt that the parliament would threaten his family and his own interests, he would even directly use the army to restore the past ** feudal system.

Feudalism is not bad, at least they are still the beneficiaries, but after enjoying the rights and conveniences of members of Congress, who wants to go back to the past?

"Learn from the country of England and make a revolution! Not much, as long as we can use most of the military power, at least limit His Majesty from using military power at will, that is our victory. At the same time, it is not best to supervise the party or anything, and it is very unpleasant to be watched. It is more in our interests to learn the mode of multi-party coexistence and competition for the top position to form a cabinet to govern the government! Xu Ying, who is a descendant of Xu Da, said to the people at a secret party.

In order to avoid the monitoring of the Jinyi Guard, they also worked hard to have this secret gathering. Not only is the location very hidden, but the mode of coming here is also very hidden, at least you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Jinyi Guard.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is not a republic, the republic was established in ruins, Zhang Hongbin sat on the Diaoyutai and controlled everything in his hands. With the perspective of the traverser, he decisively made the people literate and got their hearts to the greatest extent. In such a situation, the people are his weapons and his dependence. Through the people, he drew a road, and those who were willing to follow him on this road could be rich and rich, and those who were unwilling would be beaten to death by the people on both sides of the road.

Therefore, no matter what class they are, they have no way to bypass this road, they can only obediently follow this road and obtain their own interests.

The Ming Dynasty was different, and the Ming Dynasty still retained the feudal landlords and the noble and gentry classes. Even on this basis, there is a part of the emerging bourgeoisie.

The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty went on the offensive of public opinion, but the care for the people was still much worse. This may be said to be financially unallowed, of course, Chongzhen, with the eyes of the people of this era, can't see how to grasp the hearts of the people and how to unite the people around him.

Without the people, it is natural that a path cannot be drawn. Without the constraints of Taoism, these privileged classes even have the ability to rely on the common people, and they can naturally do whatever they want.

For example, a revolution or something.

The worst thing is that Chongzhen has not implemented the popularization of education, and the literacy rate of the people is too low. As a result, even though newspapers were constantly used to announce various government decrees, many people did not know what was written, and as a result, the government or the gentry became the owners of the final interpretation.

Therefore, they can explain it however they want, and the people may not be able to benefit from these decrees, or even suffer losses. For example, Wang Anshi's original intention to change the law was right, and the implementation of the law change can also achieve the goal of making the Great Song Dynasty stronger. However, he did not know anyone, and he saw that 99 out of 100 people were wrong, so he chose a large number of selfish disciples to help him implement the reform, and as a result, the disciples filled their own pockets, turning the originally good decree into a selfish means, and finally the reform failed.

Now Da Ming is the same, in a very delicate state.

The people know that they are rich, but they do not know how. They are illiterate, they only know that it is the officials who make them rich. As for whether it has anything to do with the emperor, the official master doesn't say it, and they can't read the newspaper, so they don't know!

In such a situation, who will restrain the privileged class?

The seeds of the revolution of the Ming Dynasty have sprouted unconsciously, but they do not know when they will bloom into brilliant flowers.
