Chapter 126: Untitled
He Shulan was selected to enter the palace as an official in this female department, not because of her outstanding appearance, but because of comprehensive consideration. In terms of family background, it is not prominent, and it can only be regarded as a small jasper; In terms of knowledge, there is also a gap between her and a real talented woman.
But Zhu Yongxing took the meanness and his gentle character. The three concubines are not Han girls, and most of the palace people are recruited by the three concubines from their own clan, increasing the number of Han women into the palace, whether they are ordinary maids or serving as female officials, it can be regarded as having an explanation to the ministers, so that they can be less noisy.
Obviously, He Shulan was very uncomfortable with Zhu Yongxing's sudden idea. In her mind, how could the emperor's children be with the common people, and it was a great honor to recruit some meritorious children.
Zhu Yongxing looked at her with a somewhat stunned expression, and couldn't help but smile faintly, staying in the courtyard of the deep palace, not knowing the suffering of the people, not knowing the folk customs, wouldn't he become the kind of fool who asked "why don't you eat meat porridge". Forget it, this girl has been in a short time, and she doesn't know my thoughts and ideas!
"Well, it's time to rest." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand, got up and remembered something again, and did not forget to advise: "Inform the Prime Minister, if there is an urgent report, it will be sent immediately, and there will be no delay." Also, the twists and turns of the two Huai places should also be carefully examined, especially about the peach blossom flood. ”
Being an emperor is easy to say, but difficult to say. If, like His Holiness the Holiness, "the flood is raging after death", you can naturally indulge in pleasures. But if you have a conscience and a sense of responsibility, you will naturally be tired and worried, and you will rejoice in the happiness of your people, or weep bitterly when you are suffering.
Zhu Yongxing had to admit that he may be a benevolent and good emperor, but he was not a qualified politician, and he could not ignore the death of his own people. Whether it is sacrificing one's life for the country or suffering from disasters, if you can do less, you will have less. Even if he delayed his great cause for a while, he would not force it forward.
In fact, Zhu Yongxing also knows that the situation is chaotic at this time. As long as the people don't starve to death, as long as the world is peaceful, it doesn't matter if they are bitter. And the Ming Dynasty, which has just been revitalized, is how young and prosperous the officials are. The heart of an official is hot, and it is naturally not as dirty as it has been for a long time.
But prosperity is also vigorous, and death is also sudden. If we do not take advantage of this good time to formulate laws as meticulously as possible, put all kinds of preventive measures in place as much as possible, and deal with them when they are corrupted in the future, the resistance we face will not be as easy as it is now.
As for diligent government, Zhu Yongxing sometimes stays up late, but not often, if compared with Zhu Baba and Chongzhen. That's far from it. But it is not an advantage for people to be diligent in government, and they have to deal with everything personally, which is because the feudal emperor does not trust others. But such an emperor thinks that no one is as good as him, and he thinks he understands everything, whether it is criminal names, civil affairs, water conservancy, etc., it seems that he can solve them as soon as he says it.
In Zhu Yongxing's view. Whether we can govern the world well and whether we can know how to make good use of people is the most crucial. Liu. However, a scoundrel and hooligan, if he can use the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, he will win the world! Even Liu Bang admitted that "in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as Zhang Liang; Defend the country and pacify the people. Constantly supplying military rations, I am not as good as Xiao He; With millions of people, the battle will be won, and the attack will be won, I am not as good as Han Xin. All three are great people. I can use it, so I take the world. ”
Therefore, Zhu Yongxing did not demand that he be stronger than his courtiers in all aspects, so he could trust his courtiers and delegate power in a planned and rhythmic manner, but focused his main energy on building a political structure that could make the regime run healthily and keep the government clean and clean.
It's just that Zhu Yongxing thinks like this, and doing this doesn't mean that others will be like him. On the contrary, Kang Xiaosan, the lord of the Qing Kingdom in Shenyang, felt that he was incompetent as a courtier, as long as he was in power, regardless of his young age, he could turn things around and rebuild the glory of his father.

In 1625, the Later Jin Dynasty established by the Qing Emperor Nurhachi moved its capital to Shenyang and changed its name to Shengjing. In 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to "Qing" here and established the Manchu Qing State. In 1644, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty led the Manchu army to invade Beijing, the capital of Guannei, and took Shengjing as the accompanying capital.
After decades of construction, the Shengjing Imperial Palace is far less magnificent than Beijing's, but it is also a large palace complex. Not only that, but the political significance of Shengjing is even more important. For example, the Ming Dynasty lost Beijing, and Nanjing. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the same, if you can't even keep the company, then it's really the impression that people are powerless to return to heaven.
"The Han people have a saying: Since ancient times, the Hu people have no luck for a hundred years, and if you think about the Wuhu Chaohua to the Yuan Dynasty, and then to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and then the decline, this is indeed the case. There are only 100,000 people in our Manchurians, and if we enter the Central Plains, it will be like sprinkling a handful of pepper noodles in a pond, and it will not become pepper soup after all! Kang Xiaosan's crisp voice echoed in the hall, "If you can't walk on thin ice and wake up day and night, it will definitely be difficult to occupy the Central Plains." But look at the actual situation, after only a few decades of entry, what did the once invincible Eight Banners warriors look like by the flower world? If I want to say, defeat, it is not terrible, work hard, lie down and taste the courage, there will be a day of rise. Peace? It is a sign of weakness to the enemy, and it makes the enemy even more rampant, and it is absolutely undesirable. ”
Ao Bai listened expressionlessly, without saying a word, but in his heart he was disdainful. Now, among the four auxiliary governments, Sukh Saha was killed in battle, Sonny died of illness, and Suppilon acted according to his own face, and he was already the dominant family. And through this retreat, the cronies he cultivated were even more densely spread in the military and political circles. It can be said that he now wields the authority and controls the real power of the Council of Ministers and the Six Ministries, and is the regent without a name.
Negotiating peace is a temptation for Aobai, and he also wants to take the opportunity to win some buffer time. The clansmen and minions who retreated to the outside of the pass need to be resettled, the army needs to be reorganized and mobilized, and the grain and grass materials must be cleared and hoarded, in short, in a short period of time, the Manchu Qing has lost the ability to attack strategically.
Ao Bai was sober, and he had realized that it was impossible to sweep the world again. And the reason why he succeeded last time was not the brave and good fighting of the Eight Banners, but the infighting of the Han people, and finally defeated themselves. Therefore, unless the current Ming Dynasty regime is infighting again, there will be no chance.
Since there is no hope of re-entering the Central Plains, it is imperative to maintain stability now. Whether it is to negotiate peace or defense, as long as they can hold on to the Ming army, even if the Mongolian tribes wait and see, they will not turn against each other. Of course, the Chahar Ministry is a special exception, and if he continues to be allowed to survive, the impact will be quite bad. But there are Ming troops in western and eastern Liaodong oppressing, and it is not easy to send troops to extinguish Chahar and make an example of them.
