Chapter 0709: Shang Dynasty
Let the capital of a country be so directly exposed to the direction of attack from all sides, and push back a little bit of Tianjin, this position is more conducive to defense, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are sea routes to retreat, which is really conducive to not being surrounded by light, but even so, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is of course very clear about the status of Beijing City in the minds of the people, so he did not rashly issue a holy decree to move Beijing! It's just that Tianjin City is used as a temporary companion capital, but he doesn't know when this companion will be used.
On the Wenhua Palace, the atmosphere is solemn, after last month's quarrel, the ministers want to resign collectively, and the crisis of the collective palace crash to death, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wants to abdicate, the two sides are equal, but there is no difference!
This time, because more than a dozen female officials have been added, and Zheng Yuelin's Dali temple ministers and Zhang Huiyi's imperial history ministers are prominent, which makes many white-haired and white-bearded ministers even more uncomfortable, but the family backgrounds of these more than ten women are also very prominent! They are all from a family of ministers of the Donglin Party, and they are basically at least the descendants of officials for generations, so the old ministers did not have a strong reaction, but it was the first time they stood with the women to go to work, which was very awkward, and there were also girls like Zhang Huiyi and Zheng Yuelin, who were only seventeen years old.
At the same time, I felt extremely absurd, most of the ministers sighed, only a few, a group of die-hard imperial party led by Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan were a little gloating, they were a group of people who were excluded by the ministers of the Donglin Party, this scene is exactly what they wanted! Moreover, Zhou Yanru learned from Zhang Weiye that the true thoughts of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen were to fully implement the new law, and he was more determined to stand on the side of implementing the new law!
Sun Shenxing went to the court with the determination to die. He had held such a determination more than once in this court! In the Wanli Dynasty, people once carried the coffin into the palace to face the saint!
For the sake of the country. For the sake of the community. For the sake of the emperor, many loyal and brave old ministers led by Sun Shenxing have never taken life and death to heart! This is the crystallization of thousands of years of Confucianism, they are the representatives of the loyal literati of this era, and they are also the huge resistance to the reform of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is still in a repeated swing! If you are like Qin Shi Huang, relying on iron-blooded means. Even if the country is united, how long can the country last? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't know!
There are also some old ministers like Sun Chengzong, who can't see the shape clearly, and can't tell right from wrong!
Zhang Huiyi was very nervous, her lips were a little white, she didn't expect the last dynasty to be so nervous, and Zheng Yuelin was also very nervous, the two little girls can be regarded as big hearts in life on weekdays, but when they arrived in this court, they knew that the power center of a country! Just this atmosphere. It's enough to suffocate!
Zheng Yuelin looked at Zhang Huiyi, and Zhang Huiyi also saw it with her spare eyes. also looked at Zheng Yuelin, Zheng Yuelin hurriedly turned her face.
Zhang Huiyi was very strange, thinking that Zheng Yuelin might really have something to do with the emperor, and she felt a little despised as if she looked down on people, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't care about it, feeling that the world was hot and cold?
Zheng Yuelin felt aggrieved in her heart, thinking that today was the first time she had entered the court as a female official, and she didn't dare to be hindered by private affairs, so she was busy collecting her mind, she was still very public and private, and she was unhappy, but after knowing that Zhenxunlou was the emperor, the emperor had a few women, and she had no choice, so she felt a little more melancholy in her heart.
"The emperor has arrived!" Xu Guowei's loud report!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted together, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The scene of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military kneeling on the ground and kowtowing together is quite spectacular! made more than a dozen female officials who had recently entered the court nervous! The female voice is mixed with many old and majestic male voices, which seems very detached.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen swaggered out from the side, young and handsome face, because he was in a good mood, and his temperament was even more noble and high-spirited!
The ministers were all surprised, and it was clear that there was another fierce argument today! Why does the emperor seem to be very happy, obviously he is about to face another southern expedition of Jiannu, it is clear that the Beijing-Tianjin region is still in a crisis of food shortage, it is clear that the population defect of the entire Beizhili is still very large, it is clear that the entire Central Plains is in a rampant flow of anti-people, and the whole Ming Dynasty is in danger! Even if the shape of the Great Ming is not about to collapse at the first touch, it is already very nervous and very worried, and the emperor is very happy?
"The instrument and the amount, when the virtue of the sheng, the instrument is the father, the virtue is the son, and the art is the spirit, the benefit of a point when the benefit of the three, there is no difference, the beginning of the instrument is a virtual form, not the thing can not be in fact, but the world is full of things, nothing more than virtue, virtue is like water, only to know that there is no gap, Shengde a point, it is really a point, this benefit is more advanced learning." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on the central throne of the Wenhua Palace, refreshed, and said loudly.
The ministers were stunned, the emperor's favorite vernacular performance, why did he make a bunch of literary openings by himself today, what do you want to express? Is this preaching?
Sun Chengzong, Sun Shenxing and Wang Yongguang, as well as Hou Sui, who was recently recruited into the cabinet of the Central Council by the emperor's new holy decree, the four old ministers are very familiar with each other, looking at each other, not knowing what the emperor is going to do?
Sun Shenxing is ready to die in the palace today, and to protect the law that the Ming Dynasty has inherited for more than 200 years, and the entire Ming Dynasty's discipline is bigger than the sky in Sun Shenxing's heart.
"Now, twenty taels of silver can't buy a stone of grain. Daming sells food is the most profitable! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly.
All the ministers have some understanding of the emperor's temperament, after all, after more than a year of running-in, the monarch and the ministers are no longer as strange as last year. They all thought that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen must have come up to talk about the new law, but they didn't expect the emperor to say a word.
Consistent money is equal to one tael of silver, equal to a thousand copper coins. There is a saying that the Ming Dynasty was because there was too much silver imported from abroad, which led to big problems in the economy and eventually lost the country! The Netherlands and Spain imported large quantities of silver, and early economic warfare !!
During the Wanli period, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice of general quality, and one stone at that time was about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which was 377.6 catties. (To be continued......)
