People are still more serious about the issue of graduate death.

At least that's the case with King Lu.

According to the news from the north, on the whole, as long as the clan handed over the land, Yang Chengying would spare them for their lives, and then arrange a place to resettle.

On the contrary, he was ruthless to the leading brother, such as the first assistant Chen Yan, the first Wu Weiying, and the head of the Southern Shilin, Qian Qianyi.

After researching, King Lu came to the conclusion that honest surrender is the best policy, and it is the next policy to become a prisoner.

Therefore, no matter how Ma Shiying asked, King Lu did not agree to the prison country.

Ma Shiying had no choice but to sacrifice the card of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to make a decree to let King Lu supervise the country in Hangzhou.

Empress Dowager Zou, that is, Zhu Yousong's mother-in-law, immediately issued an edict:

His Majesty and King Lu are close relatives, and wisdom is the crown of kings. In the past, Xuanzong went eastward, King Xiang and King Zheng supervised the country, this is already an ancestral system, and King Lu can follow it.

When it comes to this, King Lu has nothing to say, so he has to agree to supervise the country.

On the fifth day of the third month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, King Lu officially supervised the country.

"Now that the enemy is in the north, there is a possibility of going south at any time, what should the secretaries do?" King Lu asked casually.

After all, it's the first time I've been promoted to a seat, so there's always something to talk about.

As a result, there was silence.

Beat! I'm afraid it can't be beaten, and there's another thing that's hard to say.

If you want to be in the Southern Song Dynasty, where is Yue Wumu?

Seeing that everyone was silent, King Lu had to come out and end by himself: "It was King Lone who asked a bit general, and Lone asked how to save the emperor!"

Such a simple question caused the ministers to look at each other and misunderstand the meaning.

The long-term party struggle has made these people think about problems differently from ordinary people.

Especially the parties Zhu Dadian and Ruan Dayue, they will be even more wrong.

They thought that King Lu was holding them accountable for the loss of the emperor.

Ruan Dayue suddenly stepped out, knelt in front of King Lu, and kowtowed: "The minister is guilty, he failed to protect the emperor, please punish the prince."

"The minister is also guilty," Zhu Dadian knelt down, "The minister and Ruan Dayue opened the way for the emperor in front, but they didn't expect the enemy to come from the rear, causing the emperor to fall into the hands of the enemy, a capital crime!"

Ruan Dayue could not escape the blame, so he had to come out and confess; Zhu Dadian confessed his guilt on the face, but in fact, he exonerated himself and Ruan Dayue.

Because if Ruan Dayue is executed on the basis of guilt, Zhu Dadian will also be blamed.

These twists and turns are all the sequelae of party strife.

King Lu is stupid, does this have anything to do with saving Emperor Hongguang.

Ma Shiying also hurriedly came forward: "Lord, there was chaos at that time, and there was nothing Your Majesty could do if he strayed into the enemy camp, so I begged the prince to be extrajudicially forgiving."

King Lu sighed in his heart, but just raised his hand and asked them to get up.

In order not to misunderstand what he meant, he revised the wording again: "The next step for the Liaodong Army is Hangzhou, how should we deal with it?"

"Yang Chengying only occupied a vast area in less than half a year, and should not have the strength to attack south. He can send people to the north to negotiate peace, and cede to him the three prefectures of Taiping, Yingtian, and Zhenjiang that he occupies, and they will be about a brotherly country."

Ma Shiying's bad idea has been widely recognized.

Since ancient times, there have been many confrontations between the north and the south, such as the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Southern Song Dynasty. Especially the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State, the Jin State swept the north, and then was stumped by the turmoil in the north, allowing the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace.

It is impossible to save the emperor and collect the homeland, so this is the only strategy.

King Lu nodded, "Okay. I wonder who can be a messenger?"

Ma Shiying proposed: "Chen Hongfan can take on important responsibilities, and the old man has been sent to Beijing as an envoy, so he will not feel strange."

All the ministers said that it made sense.

King Lu agreed, and immediately ordered the cabinet to write a holy decree, let Chen Hongfan take it, and go to Nanjing to negotiate peace.

As soon as the words fell, an official said: "Lord Qi, it seems inappropriate to have only Ma Shiying in the cabinet now, please allow one more person to enter."

Pavilion."

"That makes sense." King Lu glanced at Ma Shiying, wanting to see what his attitude was.

What attitude can Ma Shiying have, it is not easy to be the first assistant of the cabinet, and how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

However, he did not oppose it head-on, but said: "According to the rules, the cabinet ministers must be from the Hanlin Academy, is there still a Hanlin Academy in Hangzhou?"

The officials from the Hanlin Academy were all stewed by Yang Chengying in Beijing and Nanjing, and the rest were either not qualified enough or not prestigious enough.

"Yes," the official said, "Huang Daozhou of Zhangzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and later became a Shujishi."

Ma Shiying was stunned.

Damn, why did you forget about this?

King Lu nodded and said, "The qualifications are indeed enough, and you can be allowed to enter the cabinet."

"Your Majesty......" Ma Shiying wanted to speak, but was interrupted by King Lu.

King Lu said, "This matter is so decided."

"Ah! Uh......" Ma Shiying can't help it.

Just as he was about to disperse the court, an urgent military intelligence report was sent to the court.

When deliberating, it is not trivial to send such a newspaper.

Ma Shiying personally opened it and took a look, and the whole person was petrified.

"What?" King Lu felt that the situation was not good.

"Back to the prince," Ma Shiying tried his best to contain the tension in his heart, "The front line has reported that the enemy soldiers have arrived in Tangqi."

There was an uproar in the hall.

Tangqi is only 60 miles away from Hangzhou, only one day's journey.

"What about Suzhou?" King Lu asked hurriedly.

"The third year of junior high school, I have lost it." Ma Shiying replied desperately.

Hundreds of officials are thrilled.

It turned out that when Ma Shiying was arguing endlessly over the issue of supervising the country and the issue of peace, Yang Chengying was not idle for a moment.

He was in Nanjing, and he set out to solve several big problems.

The first is the great disarmament, the goal is to surrender the soldiers under the command of the generals, such as Zhao Zhilong and the soldiers of various nobles, the pacesetters under the name of the governor, and so on.

For example, in order to bluff, Tian Xiong, Liu Liangzuo and other military leaders expanded the number of troops very large.

The purpose of such an expansion is actually to ask the Hongguang regime for military salaries, and Yang Chengying is not used to this problem.

A severance pay was given, and then through land redistribution, these laid-off soldiers were placed in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

The second, and greatest, was the promulgation and enforcement of the abolitionist order.

With the development of the commodity economy, there has been a huge difference between the North and the South, and this difference has widened.

For example, in Liaodong, Gu is raised all year round, and there are no big landlords at all, and there are even few small and medium-sized landlords.

In order to improve his combat power for a short time, Houjin directly engaged in slavery in one step, and the bannermen were only responsible for fighting, and all the land was owned by slaves.

This is not a retrogression, but a corresponding change made by Nurhachi, as a member of Li Chengliang's family, who has won the essence of the Ming army.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a master of designing the system, and the military households relied on the health center to provide farm tools, cultivated land, ploughing cattle, and seeds, and concentrated production, breaking through the low productivity of the small peasant economy, and feeding many people by one person.

But the model he designed was just right, and once there was a change in the imperial court, there was a problem with the guard system.

It's just that Lao Zhu never dreamed that the person who took the lead in destroying the system of the guard station was his dragon son and grandson.
