Chapter 45 - Bow your head

When they met again, Zhang Yun immediately congratulated Chongzhen!

"Your Majesty has now solved the Battle of Yangzhou and completely beaten Duoduo into a frightened bird, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, has also been killed."

"In addition, Your Majesty has more than 100,000 elite troops in your hands, and you have eliminated Zuo Liangyu, a two-hearted person, from now on, this world will definitely return to Your Majesty's arms again......"

In the face of Zhang Yun's compliment, Chongzhen said with a wry smile on his face: "It's okay if others say so, and the Taoist chief also says so, I really have no place to be ashamed!" ”

"Li Zicheng, a thief, has not been exterminated until now, I am simply unable to sleep and eat, and the city of Beijing is occupied by the Manchu Tartars, and I am powerless to take it back, I am simply ashamed of my ancestors!"

"Besides, although the great western thief Zhang Xianzhong was killed, his army was not completely disbanded, and now Li Dingguo continues to defend Sichuan, I heard that he is also recruiting troops on a large scale......

"There are so many things, how can you make me feel at ease?"

"Oh, by the way, speaking of the Manchu Tartars, I have heard that the two thieves, Azig and Aobai, were killed in the hands of the Dao Chief, and I am afraid that even the Great West Thief should have died in the hands of the Dao Chief!"

"In addition, Yan Yingyuan has already been on the fold, and the person who scared Duoduo, a thief, to Huai'an City was also done by the Daoist, and the Daoist has done so many things for me, I really don't know how to thank the Daoist, I just hope that the Daoist will not abandon me again, stay, and let me reward ...... well."

After Zhang Yun and Chongzhen complimented each other, they glanced at Wang Chengen, who was standing behind Chongzhen, and said, "Poor Dao also brought a large amount of gold and silver when he came back this time, wanting to help His Majesty." ”

"This batch of gold and silver can be roughly worth 10 million taels of silver, and now all of them have been placed in the mansion given to by His Majesty to Poor Dao."

"If the prince is okay, let's go and help His Majesty move this batch of gold and silver back to the palace as soon as possible!"

Wang Chengen opened his mouth wide, obviously frightened, and at the same time, Chongzhen was also frightened, and hurriedly asked: "The few big cases that have happened near Nanjing City in the past few days can't be done by the Taoist again, right?" ”

Seeing Zhang Yun nodding silently, Chongzhen suddenly gasped, and then they were silent for a while, and Chongzhen thought about it.

On the one hand, Wang Chengen was asked to transport the gold and silver back to the palace, and on the other hand, he looked at Zhang Yun worriedly: "The amount of gold and silver in the palace is basically enough, and the Taoist chief should not take such a big risk and do such a thing in the future!" ”

"If you find out......"

"Stop!"

Zhang Yun directly raised his hand to stop, interrupted Chongzhen's words, and continued: "Your Majesty don't worry, Poor Dao has basically cleared the beginning and end when he does these things, and there will never be any trouble." ”

"Besides, no one will have too much silver, Your Majesty has only more than 100,000 troops under Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong until now."

"But what about Your Majesty's enemies? Li Dingguo has at least hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and Li Zicheng is about the same, not to mention that Li Zicheng also extorted tens of millions of taels of silver from Beijing City. ”

"When it comes to the background, compared to Your Majesty, I don't know where it is deep, as long as you give him another chance to make a comeback, I'm afraid it will be another big trouble for Your Majesty!"

"What's more, the ambitions of the Manchu Tartar wolves are still gathering heavy troops in Jiangsu, which can be said to be known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart!"

"In this case, does Your Majesty still think that this ten million taels of silver is more?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't hurry up with these 10 million taels of silver to continue to expand the army, I'm afraid the situation will be more difficult in the future......"

Chongzhen's heart was very entangled, and the education he received since he was a child made him feel very uncomfortable with Zhang Yun's behavior, but he wanted him to return the ten million taels of silver to others, and Chongzhen didn't want to.

was forced to hang himself by Li Zicheng, he once lost everything, and now all this has been lost and regained, Chongzhen's heart is full of contradictions!

What's more, whether it is the war with Zuo Liangyu in April, or the war with the Manchu Tartars this time, except for Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan predicted by Zhang Yun at the beginning.

The other people I am optimistic about have not achieved any results, and all the reports of the battles that have been reported have been defeated and retreated......

Coupled with this result, which was predicted by Zhang Yun at the beginning, Chongzhen's heart was very complicated.

Chongzhen's complex psychological reaction was cloudy and uncertain, and after Zhang Yun saw Chongzhen's face, he stopped talking nonsense, and the scene fell silent again.

After a long time, Chongzhen spoke: "I was wrong before, I shouldn't fight with Daochang Zhang, and I hope that Daochang you don't go to your heart, if you lose it, you will know what is the most precious." ”

"The Daoist may not know that in the past few months that the Daoist has been gone, the two major battles that have occurred in my heart have been up and down, and I have no bottom at all, so this time, I also ask the Daoist to promise me that I will never leave my side easily!"

"This series of battles, as the Dao Chief calculated at the beginning, except for Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong, everyone else is a wreck, with insufficient success and more than failure!"

"Therefore, since the Dao Chief brought another 10 million taels of silver to me and asked me to expand the army, then I think Bi Dao Chang already has a candidate to lead the army, and I ask the Dao Chief to say bluntly that there is no need to avoid anything."

Seeing that Chongzhen finally bowed his head, Zhang Yun felt very relieved, but when he thought of the Donglin party members he saw last night, who were still serving in the center of the imperial court, Zhang Yun was vigilant in his heart.

It seems that Chongzhen may not be obedient to his words, so Zhang Yun pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The farewell letter that Poor Dao left to His Majesty before he left explained the essence of the Donglin Party in great detail, coupled with the results of His Majesty's collection of silver taels in the capital, Your Majesty should know what the nature of the Donglin Party is, but why are there still Donglin Party members in the imperial court who hold important positions?" ”

Chongzhen's face froze, and he replied with some embarrassment, "I remember that the Taoist chief once said that there need to be two or three factions in the court to check and balance each other, so that is the way to long-term peace and stability." ”

"I still remember this sentence of the Taoist chief, I think that as soon as I ascended the throne, I wiped out Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, and at the same time vigorously suppressed Dongchang and Jinyiwei, I believe that the Donglin party members are all righteous people and gentlemen, and as a result, I almost died!"

"But now that I have been instructed by the Taoist chief, I already know that the leaders of the Donglin Party are the spokesmen of those big businessmen, big landlords, and big capitalists, and my ass has never sat down with me."

"That's why I didn't drive all the Donglin party members out of the imperial court, because I wanted to keep them to check and balance other parties and prevent others from sitting on the ......."
