In this world, some people are destined to be precious from birth.

This kind of person can be a nobleman or a royal family, but only the emperor can really be on the head of everyone in a country.

Zhu Youzhen's situation is more special, he is from the imperial family, the son of Emperor Taichang, and the younger brother of Emperor Tianqi. was originally named the king of letters, but after the death of the emperor of the apocalypse, this became the new emperor and changed to Chongzhen.

It is said that when he became the emperor, he should be the top of the country. It was only when he came to this height that he realized that his vision was different, and at the same time, he truly realized how pitted the cabinet system established by his ancestors was.

In fact, Zhu Di originally established a cabinet, which belonged to a secretarial institution. However, after Emperor Hongzhi, the cabinet gradually became a concentration of vassal power, and even threatened the monarchy. In the end, the tail is too big to fall, and even the emperor can't help the cabinet.

Among the comments of later generations, there is a comment that says: Chongzhen's determination to reform is a good thing, and he intends to prove to the world that he is a promising king. But he made a mistake in one place, that is, he suppressed the eunuch party without restraint and promoted the Donglin party. In the feudal era, an emperor who could not become strong must learn the way of balance, and the way of balance is that he must create an opposition to the courtiers of the party in power.

The eunuch party was originally the best opponent of the Donglin Party. The two sides fought each other, the eunuch party was strong, the emperor was behind the scenes to help the Donglin party suppress the eunuch party, and when the Donglin party was strong, the emperor was behind the scenes to help the eunuch party suppress the Donglin party. Wandering between the two forces in this way can be said to be taking advantage of the advantages, and in order to obtain greater power, the two have to curry favor with the emperor, so it becomes easy to issue decrees.

Chongzhen let the Donglin Party dominate, plus he suppressed the eunuch party, and it is naturally impossible to continue to support the eunuch party. So much so that in the initial period of time, the balance that Emperor Taichang and the Apocalypse had created with great difficulty was directly destroyed by him. When he realized this and began to support local parties such as the Zhejiang Party and the Fujian Party to contend with the Donglin Party, he found that these parties and the Donglin Party were fundamentally the same thing, and they could compromise and cooperate with each other for some common interests.

Supporting the eunuchs? One has a bad reputation, and the other is that the eunuch party has been broken up, even if it is re-promoted, how can it be compared to the Donglin Party and other parties? Moreover, where can the party that has already controlled all the powers of the cabinet tolerate the rise of the eunuch party?

Therefore, Chongzhen is destined to suffer B, and his decree can't even get out of Beijing.

As soon as he left the capital, he changed his appearance directly, and he was the one who suffered in the end. The worst thing is that everyone seems to think that the treasury is sufficient, and constantly asks the emperor to open the treasury, as if the emperor has taken all the money in the world. Don't they reflect on the fact that they continue to intercept the taxes they have paid, conceal and omit reports, and in the long run, they still lose money after deducting costs.

An emperor who directly monopolizes the world's salt and iron transactions still loses money, which is simply unreasonable.

But this scene appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen's internal money also shrank little by little over time, and he could only sell the antique calligraphy and paintings saved by previous generations of emperors to maintain the expenses of the palace. Even in order to show his fairness, he had to squeeze out some of them to support the locality.

It is said that the emperor paid for disaster relief, how much money did he pay? Three thousand taels of silver!

No one knows that behind this, Chongzhen is lying helplessly in the queen's arms when no one is around.

Ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of sixteen, only seeking the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, why did he come to such a field? !

No wonder when he was dying, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh: "All the ministers are mistaken!" ”

This is the Chongzhen in history, but not the Chongzhen of this time and space.

Perhaps four years ago, Chongzhen had little change from history, and even in order to calm down natural disasters and grievances, he had to issue a "Guilty Edict". In fact, it is also absurd, the mistakes made by the courtiers made the emperor admit their mistakes, so it is not ridiculous, what could be more absurd than this?

Today's Chongzhen, but under the construction of Li Luo, he called the descendants of Nanjing Xungui over, saying that he was studying for the prince.

This is not surprising, every dynasty and every generation will arrange a group of people to serve the prince, which is to accumulate manpower for the prince and even other princes. It's just that this time the scope is a little wider, not only those under the age of ten are coming, but also those under the age of eighteen are coming.

I have to say that at the critical moment, Xungui is more reliable than the royal family. Besides, the royal family has the law of the ancestors, and they can't leave the fiefdom, or even the city where the palace is located, and the most important thing is that they can't be involved in politics and military, no matter what the reason, they can't pull it to their side.

The children of the nobles came to the capital and immediately arranged to practice literature and martial arts, and the interesting thing is that Chongzhen also took the time to teach and directly ignored the government.

The Ming Emperor is wonderful, there are emperors who have not been to court for decades, and the elders are not surprised. Besides, it is good for the emperor not to come to court early, at least when they deal with government affairs, no one is pointing fingers at them. In fact, I can't say for sure, many people still wish that the emperor would not come to court sooner.

At most, a few courtiers who are truly loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty will cry bitterly, right?

For half a year, Chongzhen was not idle at all, and even Liluo was not idle. The Praetorian Guard, the Jinyi Guard, the City Defender, and more than 20 senior officers of the three armies secretly pledged allegiance to Chongzhen and wrote a letter of allegiance. If this thing is exposed, not only will their careers be worried, but they will also be attacked by all the courtiers. Therefore, the generals who wrote this letter of allegiance and handed it over sincerely followed the emperor in their hearts. Besides, if you don't have a great mind and an emperor in your heart, how can you be favored by Li Luo?

April 1632 was a sunny day.

At four o'clock in the morning, many courtiers were woken up by the servants in their dreams and began to wash and prepare, after all, today is the morning court.

Chongzhen, who has been in court for almost half a year, suddenly wants to go to court early, and many officials are really not used to it. But rules are rules, and they have to prepare.

"Master......" The little concubine she had just accepted was snorting, just thinking that the master would accompany her more.

"You continue to sleep, but my lord and I have to participate in the morning pilgrimage today." Cui Wan, the squire of the military department, also felt sorry for this little wife, but he had to leave.

But I didn't want to just walk out of the room, but there was a stir, and I was still thinking about who was so noisy and didn't understand the rules. But he didn't want an army to kill him directly in front of him and capture him.

"Who are you? Don't you know that I'm a squire of the Ming Army? "For these Qiu Ba, the squire has never been afraid.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for many years, and it is no longer a matter of emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and now the third-grade general will see the county master of the seven-grade class, and he has to obediently dismount and say hello. The imperial court has reached a very extreme state of emphasizing literature over military force. The treatment of the soldiers was very low, and the guards almost became peasants, and the civil officials still felt that the suppression was not enough.

Perhaps in their eyes, pure military attachés don't need it, and only Confucian generals are needed in this world. This is what the civil government in the world means, when the children of Confucianism occupy all the official positions, that is the great harmony of the world advocated by Confucianism!

Cui Wan looked down on the soldiers, this is also a tradition, it was nothing, and even in normal times, these Qiu Ba who had to watch his face and eat were already trembling and stayed aside. But this time it was different, they were still suppressing him.

"Sue you, your deeds have been committed, wait for death!" A few brocade guards walked in and said to him.

Jin Yiwei has not mixed very well over the years, and as the emperor's pro-army, he is the least popular with his courtiers. As a result, whether it was the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, they were crushed to death, like rats crossing the street. It's good now, Jinyiwei has an excellent conductor, and the day of turning over has come!

On this day, a large number of soldiers broke into the homes of many Beijing officials, and several school scholars from the second assistant to the Hanlin Academy were arrested.

Pavilion elder Zhou Yanru and the others knelt on the hall tremblingly, and the arrogance of the past had been suppressed.

Everyone is watching to see what Chongzhen means.

They waited, and what they waited for was Chongzhen's high-spirited arrival, and without saying a word, they announced a series of resignations.

The most prominent one is that the Jinyi Guard commanded Li Luo, who served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. This young man who is less than thirty years old has obviously become a new upstart in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the generals of the Praetorian Guard and the City Guard were purged, and those who dared to resist, the muskets and artillery that had been accumulated and even secretly purchased in the past few months were the weapons that ended their criminal lives. All those who were controlled by the Donglin Party, or who were entangled with the Donglin Party but did not have Li Luo's protection, were purged and even executed.

As for the Beijing officials, the members of all the parties were purged, and the vacated official positions were filled by the sons and daughters of the nobles who went north to Nanjing, and in the past few months, they secretly learned this knowledge, even if there would be a lack of experience at the beginning, but they were loyal to the emperor.

"Da Ming, it's going to change the sky?" Zhou Yanru silently listened to the will of one by one, listened to his subordinates or his allies, one by one Wusha was removed, and his family property was confiscated, and his heart was cold.

Regardless of the final outcome, at least one thing is certain, and that is that Chongzhen has recaptured the city of Beijing.

At least here, he is the highest decision-maker, and no one can disobey him!

For Li Luo, this is a historic moment, and this is the moment he wants to see the most. When he saw that the Qin State was getting stronger and stronger under the leadership of Zhang Hongbin, he knew very well that an excellent and rational emperor, especially an emperor who could dominate the world, was a good emperor who made the Ming Dynasty prosperous. Chongzhen has this qualification, and for the rest, he will guide Chongzhen in the right direction.

As long as it takes a few years, he can be sure that Daming will inevitably be prosperous!
