"In any case, this half of the country was lost in my hands. I also know in my heart that if there is no Brother Chun to turn the tide, the world still doesn't know what the Dao will be eroded into. If I can regain the rivers and mountains, I will not be ashamed to enter the Taimiao in the future. But when I think about it carefully, I have taken the merit of Brother Chun. Chongzhen's voice was low, and he finally said: "I want to be a Zen brother and be an emperor." ”

In the palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and even the music accompanying it seemed to freeze a beat.

The emperor's sudden proposal for the Zen position was indeed unexpected by Zhu Cihong, but it was reasonable to think about it. Chongzhen's character is originally like this, there is always some literary atmosphere, and he believes too much in Confucian classics, and it is easy to fall into the path of self-denial, self-criticism, and self-sacrifice.

This kind of person doesn't feel that there is anything cowardly about suicide, but only that it is a way to take responsibility. This kind of person does not feel any pain in self-denial, and even secretly feels proud and happy about it. Every time they make self-criticism, they feel that they are one step closer to the saint, at least they are also a gentleman and warrior who is self-aware and dares to be ashamed.

This kind of person is a good person, but he is really not suitable to be an emperor.

What's more, Zhu Cihong doesn't want to be an emperor yet.

Zhu Cihong feels that the current relationship between himself and the imperial father is quite similar to the relationship between the head of the world and the head of state.

The state system of Zhu Cihong's previous life provided for the system of collective heads of state. As the head of state, first, he cannot command the armed forces, which deprives the emperor of his military power; secondly, they cannot participate in the activities that decide the affairs of the state, that is, they cannot participate in even the meetings of the Cabinet; thirdly, it cannot independently decide on any state affairs, that is, it abolishes the legal effect of the Zhongzhi; Exercising formal power - can only be responsible for sacrifices.

What is the difference between this and the current Emperor Chongzhen?

Zhu Cihong himself is alive as Taiwei Xingjun, representing divine power; The new army of the Ming Dynasty was expanded from his guard battalion. cling to military power; The four elders, the six officials, and the Taiyuan Kedao are all his wings and control the regime.

This is the veritable head of the empire.

Now that he has the reality of a leader, why should he bear the false name of a head of state?

If you talk about the merits of recovering Beijing, is the year name Chongzhen, and the role of the crown prince will not be written in the history books?

"Please take back the imperial father's order!" Zhu Cihong got up and knelt down, wanting to pretend to be sincerely afraid. Helplessly, the skill points are not in the acting skills, and he still said in a reasonable tone: "The first emperor once thought that the emperor's father was Yao Shun, but he was helplessly mistaken by Yong Yi and suffered this national change. Now is the time to restore the Ming Dynasty and reopen the sun and the moon, how can the imperial father say goodbye? The sons thought that even if the emperor's father wanted to take the throne, he should listen to the emperor after he was old. ”

Chongzhen knew that his son would definitely want to resign, but he didn't expect to resign so resolutely. and skillful.

Chongzhen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Minister Gu Xi Zhishi, will the emperor abdicate in the future?" ”

The old man is ninety years old, and Chongzhen knows that he may not be able to live to that age. So this is the skill of speaking, not only to persuade the emperor not to Zen, but also to wish the emperor a long life, and not to make people feel sick to their stomachs.

"The weight of national affairs is very human." Zhu Cihong said: "The son is in good health when he sees the emperor's father. Even in old age, there may not be old age. The so-called Zen position is just to let the emperor enjoy the joy of family. ”

Originally, this was just a joke. Who knew that the emperor and queen changed color together. This heavenly couple, who are in love with each other, invariably thought of a very terrible situation: if the emperor really lives to his old age, will he let his son be the crown prince for a lifetime?

"It's true that state affairs are too heavy." Chongzhen sighed: "Emperor, when it comes to the year of the Mandate of Heaven, it will be almost there. He looked at the ambitious crown prince and said with a smile: "My father said that he would be an emperor for fifteen years, and I don't know how much merit I want to covet you." ”

"Father and son. If the sons and daughters have some achievements, they will not embarrass the two adults, all thanks to the teachings of the adults, how can they be greedy for merit? Zhu Cihong acquiesced in the emperor's suggestion to retire at the age of fifty, and was also quite moved.

Many emperors in history were young and promising. Looking at the world, when he is old, he looks old and confused. Among them, the more representative one is Li Longji, who is not only old and confused when he gets old, but also some old bastards. If you retire at the age of 50, you still have the physical strength to walk around and play, you are in a good mood, and you may be able to live past the age of 100.

Moreover, in the current situation, no matter whether the emperor is sincere or has a priority, most of the Shilin discussions are to say that the crown prince has a heart of disobedience and rebellion. Since he refuses to let go of his authority, it is better to let this "Heavenly Mandate Zen Position" be made public, so as not to let someone spit indiscriminately.

"Father," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "When I return to Beijing in the future, will my sons still be able to sort out the notes for my father?" ”

Chongzhen was happy and quipped: "The ancients called 'the deputy prince of the country', you have the ambition of the world, so why do you do this thing as a lieutenant?" ”

"Thank your Majesty for your grace, and ask Your Majesty to use the Wenhua Hall as the residence of your sons." Zhu Cihong didn't mind climbing up the pole to the post of "deputy monarch".

The Wenhua Hall was the first place where the crown prince handled official business, and the roof tiles were also made of green glass to cope with the oriental blue. After Seonjong, the emperor's life was not long, and the crown prince had already succeeded to the throne before he grew up, so the Wenhua Hall became another palace for the emperor's office during the reign of Sejong, and even the glazed tiles on the top were replaced with golden yellow on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

The Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall are side by side, and are located in the east of the Wuying Palace. Coupled with its historical background and Ming traditions, if Chongzhen agrees to this request, it will be equivalent to agreeing that Zhu Cihong will continue to hold his current authority after returning to Beijing. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as the restoration of the ancestral system.

However, changing the emperor is a major event in the world after all, and it is not the emperor who said that he can Zen if he wants a Zen position, and it will definitely cause an uproar. In this fluctuation, there will be no shortage of people who say strange things.

Zhu Cihong believes that if it weren't for the catharsis of newspapers, the Qiben and Song Shu that flew in front of him now would be enough to build a paper forbidden city.

"Those who should be working continue to let them work, and those who don't work or don't have work to do will let them go to the newspaper and argue." Zhu Cihong said: "Sometimes topics are like bones, and we have to throw them when we should throw them, so that we can do big things quietly." ”

Wu Fu originally positioned himself as a think tank, but this time he once again deeply felt that the crown prince himself had political wisdom that was not commensurate with his age. When the apologists were arguing in the newspapers about the "Zen position", which had no shadow yet. The imperial court has been quietly preparing for the reopening of the market.

When those people in Jiangnan who have a problematic political stance realize that the country is about to open the sea on a large scale, I am afraid it will be too late to cry. At that time, not only did they miss the opportunity to enter the stock market, but they also had no chance to form a fleet and obtain a maritime trade certificate.

In the long run, the maritime trade policy actually curbs the natural growth of the scale of maritime commerce. It is not in line with the laws of business. However, the current Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural country, and it is necessary to ensure sufficient arable land. If the sea trade is completely liberalized, the demand for raw silk and tea as the main products will rise all the way.

At that time, some people will inevitably change the land to mulberry trees and tea trees, and the negative impact of this is already obvious: the original land of fish and rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang needs to import grain from other places. The ensuing rise in food prices will directly affect the living conditions of the people at the bottom and endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, once the supply is tightened, the price of goods will rise, and Europe and Japan have a great demand for silk, tea, and porcelain from China. Even if the price is higher, they will buy it in large quantities. This will naturally accelerate the inflow of natural currencies such as gold and silver into the Ming Dynasty.

With a large inflow of natural money, it can be used as a reserve for the issuance of paper money in the true sense of the word.

This interlocking social progress cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Zhu Cihong has already drawn a blueprint in his heart, and is ready to use his life's energy to push Daming onto a track that no one can reverse. This requires a stable social environment, so sometimes, Zhu Cihong can't help but want to make peace with the East Lu as long as they are willing to withdraw from Beijing. Still let them stay in Liaodong for the time being.

It's a pity that Dongyu doesn't feel that he has reached the end of his life.

Especially when Gong Dingyu appeared on the Wuying Hall again.

……

"The minister has been probed several times. Finally, it can be determined that the reason why the remnant Ming has this return to the light is due to the strength of Zhu Cihong, the prince of Ming. Gong Dingyu stood in the hall and talked eloquently to the seven-year-old Shunzhi and Dolgon, who was sitting next to the throne.

He did put in the effort. Do your homework, from the 16th year of Chongzhen's Jingshi epidemic, the crown prince went out of the palace to provide disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and set up the East Palace guard battalion, all the way to leading the troops to level the Kou. All the way back to Beijing, forcibly Nanxing.

These contents are not classified, and can be found if you want to collect them. And the time is not far off, even if you want to find someone who has experienced it, it will not be too difficult.

Dolgon had long been interested in this crown prince and wanted to find out what the prince had done. It's a pity that he handed over this task to Song Hongye, and Song Hongye only used the reason that he was busy with affairs, and basically did not satisfy Dorgon's curiosity.

Gong Dingyu was a Jinshi in Chongzhen's seventh year, and he was only eighteen years old when he was released, and he was a member of the geniuses. He, Wu Weiye, and Qian Qianyi are known as the "Three Masters of Jiangzuo" by later generations, which shows that the talent of the article is indeed one of the few in the world.

It's just that this person has no discipline, and when Li broke into Beijing, he attempted to throw himself into the water, and as a result, he became the direct commander of the Shun Dynasty. When Dolgon entered Beijing, he was one of the kneeling greeters, and in the middle of the matter, he moved to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the right servant of the Criminal Department, and the imperial history of the left capital, which can be described as rising steadily.

But Dorgon didn't like the man.

It is this person who once publicly said: Wei Zheng is also the Taizong who descended later, and he can also make a career.

If this had been said a few months later, Dorgon would have been pleased, and he would have used it to persuade the Han officials who refused to obey. It's a pity that when Gong Dingyu said this, he was serving as the direct commander of the rebellion, and the emperor sitting on the Wuying Hall at that time was Li Zicheng. It's not a problem for him to be Wei Zheng, but comparing Li Zicheng to Tang Taizong, can this not make people mind? Dorgon, in particular, was never a magnanimous man.

What's more, Gong Dingyu is too idle and has a heavy habit of being idle, and he looks like he can't wait to leave early when he goes to work every day, which is even more unpopular with Dolgon, who likes workaholics.

I really didn't expect such a person to have a sudden outbreak one day.

"As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, since the remnant Ming only takes Prince Zhu as his pillar, and Prince Zhu can rely on only 10,000 guards. The ministers asked the Holy Lord to mobilize a large army with the momentum of thunder, and defeat his subordinates in one fell swoop, in the name of righteousness, benevolence and righteousness, and the dignity of humility, the world should be able to spread down! Gong Dingyu said loudly.

Dorgon nodded.

He had long felt that it was a wrong decision to first go northwest and then southeast, but at that time, in order to win the hearts of the Han people, he put on the appearance of begging for thieves for the Ming Dynasty, which was also a necessary political posture. Now he no longer expects to win the hearts of the Han people, but he can't say that he is wrong, and he needs a solid step to transfer all the Manchu soldiers back.

Gong Dingyu's recital gave him such a step.

Not only did it give the step to transfer troops back, but also gave it the step to declare war on the Ming Dynasty: because Prince Zhu imprisoned the emperor's father, which is contrary to human morality!

This hat doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's good to be useful!

For a while, Dolgon suddenly felt that this Gong Dingyu was not very annoying, and there was a little cuteness in his chubby face! (To be continued......)
