Chapter 18 - Control
"So this involves a question of control, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the control of the central court could directly reach the ...... in the village."
"Because the candidates who control the townships and villages are not the so-called bullshit doctors, but veterans and village elders, therefore, although the population of the Central Plains Dynasty was small at that time, the emperor's control power has reached its peak!"
"This kind of good system was destroyed by Zhao Kuangyin in the Northern Song Dynasty, because a phrase that has arisen since then is called: Imperial power does not go to the countryside."
"The result of this is that the gentry and the landlords have formed an alliance of interests, and it is an unbreakable alliance of interests."
"After the development of this interest alliance to the present, it has formed such a freak as the Donglin Party, so that now Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, has the allegiance of 20,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not want to use even tens of thousands of people to engage in any project......
"Unless it's time to start a war, because of the stakes, they will support Your Majesty to use hundreds of thousands of people to support the battlefields everywhere."
"In addition, Your Majesty doesn't want to say that it is a project like building the Grand Canal, even if it is to mobilize tens of thousands of people to repair the Grand Canal a little, it is simply impossible to do it!"
"So in the final analysis, if Your Majesty wants Zhongxing Daming to achieve the height of Emperor Taizu......"
"Then the freak of the Donglin Party must be eradicated, if they are not eradicated, Your Majesty's so-called Zhongxing Daming is definitely a joke!"
"Poor Dao for example, Your Majesty, don't be surprised, if ~ Emperor Taizu is sitting in Your Majesty's position now, then the first thing he has to do must be to eradicate the Donglin Party, which has seriously threatened the imperial power, in minutes!"
"Next, integrate the resources of the entire south, what Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, that is, the jumping clown, even the so-called invincible wild boar skin and that group of traitors, what is the end."
"Your Majesty, just think about it, what an invincible Mongol was in the beginning, and what happened in the end? You can imagine what Taizu and his old man will do......"
"What's more, the Taizu at that time was still too far behind His Majesty's current strength, but in that case, Taizu and his old man were still blue...... Forcefully drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, re-dressed the Han family, and continued to continue in this land! ”
"In addition, today's Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it is necessary to change, the so-called poor will be passed, general will change, and change will be ......"
"If Your Majesty doesn't reform again, I'm afraid that the scene on the coal mountain may not be repeated!"
"It's just that at that time, Your Majesty may not be able to find Poor Dao to save him, because Poor Dao came down the mountain to help His Majesty this time, and he himself came at the risk of being damned."
"If Your Majesty can revive the Ming Dynasty, if not, I'm afraid that the poor Dao will immediately be devoured by the heavenly thunder and turned into ashes......"
"So the life of the poor Dao is actually connected to Your Majesty, compared to those ministers of the DPRK or the Donglin Party, or even Wang Chengen, it is even closer, after all, to say something unpleasant, whether it is a minister or a eunuch, you can surrender!"
"Among the 20,000 people of the entire Ming Dynasty, only His Majesty and Poor Dao are unlikely to surrender!"
"So Your Majesty, you still have to think about it, even if you don't think about your Ming Dynasty, you have to think about Poor Dao's net worth and life, after all, Poor Dao risked his life and went down the mountain to help His Majesty's ......"
Zhang Yun's words made Chongzhen's blood boil, especially when he thought of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's exploits, Chongzhen almost wanted to stand up and dance!
As if otherwise, he couldn't express the excitement in his heart at the moment......
But when Zhang Yun finished speaking, Chongzhen calmed down again, and said in frustration: "Dao Chief, you have been on the mountain for a long time, and you don't know the current situation!" ”
"If I clean up all the Donglin Party from the imperial court, there will be no one in this imperial court......"
Hearing this, Zhang Yun smiled angrily, and said angrily: "Which reform since ancient times did not shed blood, if the Qin Dynasty did not change, could it still sweep away the Six Kingdoms and unify the Central Plains in one fell swoop?" ”
"But in that change, how many people's interests were moved, and how many heads landed? In the end, even its main messenger died! ”
"Why is it that now Your Majesty can't do it, if the current situation is replaced by Taizu, Your Majesty, do you guess what his old man will do if it takes too long?"
"You have to know how many men and horses did Taizu have when his old man rose up and rebelled against the tyranny of Meng Yuan? But what was the end result? Taizu, his old man, finally won the country! ”
"It wasn't that no one rebelled against Taizu at that time, but how did Taizu do it at that time? Your Majesty, can't you learn it? ”
"Today, the poor road will leave the words here, if the Donglin Party is not eradicated, I am afraid that even if Your Majesty revives the Ming Dynasty, it will be a great power......
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and ignored Chongzhen again.
And Chongzhen's face was also cloudy at this time, and he couldn't make up his mind!
But for these, Zhang Yun doesn't want to deal with it anymore, it's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words, if Chongzhen is still like this.
Then Zhang Yun also thought about it, anyway, everything that should be said was said, and the efforts that should be done were also done!
If after a while, the Donglin Party is still active in the imperial court.
For the sake of his own life, Zhang Yun has already decided to abandon Chongzhen and go it alone!
Even if because of time problems, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave offspring, it doesn't matter, being forced to the extreme, even if I adopt a stepson, it's better than being angry here in Chongzhen!
And it's hopeless......
Today's early dynasty, the Qianqing Palace was very lively, and before Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong could show Chongzhen the results of yesterday's battle.
The Donglin Party took the lead in attacking, and Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, was the first to jump out and spray, "Emperor Qi, what scene happened outside the Shuixi Gate yesterday, why didn't the emperor discuss it with the ministers?" Just do this kind of thing! ”
Then, before Chongzhen could speak, the scholar Jiang Yueguang immediately jumped out and said: "Now, in the great Ming Dynasty, only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Huang Degong and soldiers and horses under Zuo Liangyu are left to fight!" ”
"This is too dangerous for the Ming Dynasty, especially now that it is still surrounded by gangsters......
Next, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Wang Ze and others also made trouble one after another, making Chongzhen a little tired, and he didn't know who to answer!
But at this time, when the county officials in the Qianqing Palace were still desperately attacking themselves, Chongzhen recalled Zhang Yun's words last night.
Sure enough, as Zhang Daochang said, with the Donglin Party in the imperial court, it is really difficult to do it as an emperor!
Even if some normal orders are issued, I am afraid that they will be maliciously rejected by these people, and the entire imperial court will not be able to function normally at all......
When he was in Beijing before, Chongzhen didn't feel so obvious, he just thought that these ministers were useless people, and he lost his country and died!
But after the suffering of the past half a year, Chongzhen now feels that his imperial power has been seriously threatened, and these Donglin party members are really hateful!
Chongzhen remembered what Zhang Yun said about Taizu...... If Taizu were to sit in his position now, he would probably kill a hundred thousand disobedient soldiers and horses, and these ministers would not even dare to let out a fart, and when it was their turn to do this, they would feel a little unacceptable......
Turning these thoughts in his mind, Chongzhen now, and then looking at the Donglin party members who have risen up to attack him, he has never felt like this moment, feeling that they are so hateful!
The thought turned here, and Chongzhen's face naturally turned cold.
However, Chongzhen, who was extremely angry in his heart, did not get angry about this, but said calmly: "Gao Jie and Er Liu, with the food and salary of the imperial court, are going to fish and meat the people. ”
"I don't think I want to explain these things one by one, you should know it in your heart!"
"So that's what I did, what you have to do now is to help me deal with the aftermath, not to discuss here whether this should be done or not......"
The Donglin party members were shocked by Chongzhen's attitude, but they were not suppressed like this, but after a little hesitation with each other, they immediately launched another wave of verbal offensive!
Gao Hongtu, the head of the household, was the first to speak, "The emperor has done something wrong, and he doesn't want to make an edict to eliminate Zuo Liangyu's suspicions......"
After Gao Hongtu said a lot, Chongzhen thought that he would rest, but after he took a breath, he continued in an extremely excited tone.
"Since this is the case, then the old minister also feels that it is useless to continue to stay in the court, so the minister is begging for bones now, hoping that His Majesty will let the old minister go back to recuperate!"
Chongzhen's brows jumped, just when he wanted to say something.
Liu Zongzhou, the grumpy imperial history of the left capital, also jumped out and said: "The emperor is so disobedient, since this is the case, the minister also wants to beg for bones......"
Outside the noon gate, the other bigwigs of the Donglin Party looked helplessly, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Hongtu, Xu Shiqi, Guang Shiheng, Lu Daqi and others, who had been ordered by Chongzhen to remove their official robes, wanted to say something for a while, but they wanted to stop talking!
On the contrary, Liu Zongzhou persuaded: "Now that we are all gone, the traitorous party in the court will depend on your brothers to resist in the future, so you must be stronger, why show this state of children?" ”
After Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, Gao Hongtu also wanted to open his mouth and pretend to be forced before leaving, but he barely moved his lips, but he was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to talk at all, so he had no choice but to give up!
On the contrary, it was Lu Daqi, the highest-ranking person who was dismissed this time, who spoke to comfort everyone: "You don't have to be sad, now that the imperial court has gone to so many of us for a while, there is no one to use it at all." ”
"Presumably, it won't be long before Your Majesty will recruit us back again......"
