Qi Tai shook his head, stood up, walked outside, looked around, and gently closed the door.

"Beware of the ears on the wall, what are you talking about?"

He glanced at Huang Zicheng deeply and said, "You shouldn't have any big rebellious thoughts, right?" ”

Colluding with the Japanese and the thieves to kill the emperor's grandson, Qi Tai didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.

It's one thing to fight for power, it's another thing to really kill Zhu Yunxi.

Although he thought that Zhu Yunwen should be appointed as the emperor's grandson and inherit the unification.

But now Zhu Yunxi is the prince of the old Zhu.

He just wanted to help Zhu Yunwen ascend to the throne, and he definitely didn't want to rebel against Zhu tomorrow.

"What do you want? Am I a rebel and a thief! "Huang Zicheng is awe-inspiring.

He was always convinced that he was doing the right thing.

is loyal to His Majesty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he must trace the origin and support Zhu Yunwen.

This is also a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.

The later Donglin Party members all promised that "the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading are in the ears, and the family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world are concerned".

In their opinion, everything they do is for the good of the Ming Dynasty and the good of the world.

As for how many undesirable consequences have been caused by this, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, my original intention is good!

Huang Zicheng is a typical representative and thinks the same way.

"What do you mean?" Qi Tai asked in a low voice.

"This rebellion originated from the increase in commercial taxes proposed by His Royal Highness the Grand Sun."

Huang Zicheng was indignant and said: "As soon as the original plan to increase the commercial tax came out, I strongly opposed it. ”

"What kind of system does the imperial court and merchants compete for profit?"

"Hate Zhao Jing, Zhao Mian and others, the rat's eyes are light-eyed, they tend to be inflammatory, and they blindly cater to the emperor's grandson. I only see that the increase in commercial taxes can solve the temporary financial difficulties of the imperial court, but I can't see that this is ruining the foundation of my Ming Dynasty! ”

He stomped his foot hard and said, "It's okay now." How long has it been since the introduction of the commercial tax, and it has stabbed out such a big Louzi, if they continue to fool around like this, can the Ming Dynasty still be stable? ”

He paused, and then said: "The matter of increasing the commercial tax is not over yet, and the sea ban will be opened again, can this be opened casually?" ”

"The sea ban has not been opened yet, and the Japanese have already caused harm everywhere."

"Once the sea ban is opened, the Japanese can easily mix in among the merchants, and with the collusion between some Diao people and the Japanese invaders, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River will never be at peace again."

"The Advisory Office has reformed to require secrecy for everything. It will be difficult for scholars to grasp public opinion in the future, and if they exert pressure on the imperial court, they can only watch him come nonsense. ”

Huang Zicheng was heartbroken.

A reform has made the scholars lose their power.

For the future, I am even more anxious.

"I used to say that he could write poetry, and he was kind of talented."

"I never thought that it would be so tormenting."

"Holding talents and being proud of things, casually changing into the law, and being willful. His Majesty seems to have fallen into an evil spirit, and he is extremely fond of him. ”

"If he continues like this, he will inherit the throne in the future, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in his hands."

Qi Tai was silent, and his opinion in his heart was similar to Huang Zicheng.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yunxi is talented.

However, having talent has little to do with whether or not you can govern the country well.

Empress Li is also very talented!

In the eyes of these people, only old age can seek the country.

But Zhu Yunxi's heart is unstable, although he is smart, all kinds of whimsical ideas are unrestrained and completely unrestrained.

It makes them feel uneasy and scared.

The establishment of the Advisory Office and the Military Affairs Office allowed them to see Zhu Yunxi's political skills, which further exacerbated this sense of fear.

A future emperor who holds power in his own hands and does not want to be "constrained" by their scholars, who knows what he will do?

"And what do you mean?" Zitai asked.

Huang Zicheng said: "The Japanese are fighting, Songjiang Mansion is occupied, and now is the best opportunity." ”

"First, I will mobilize all my colleagues in Beijing to write a letter together, advising His Majesty to abandon the increase in commercial taxes, and at the same time promise never to open the sea ban."

Qi Tai nodded and said, "This is the right reason. ”

"The matter of increasing the commercial tax has caused a lot of trouble, and it is not too late to give up now."

"If the Japanese are not settled, it is absolutely impossible to open the sea ban, let alone not."

"We should jointly write a letter to Your Majesty."

Huang Zicheng said: "You and I both understand this truth, but with His Majesty's favor and trust in His Royal Highness Taisun, we may not be able to listen to it, and we have to think of other ways." ”

He touched his beard and smiled slightly.

"Second, His Royal Highness Taisun opened the Jinling Military Academy to train the new army, and he promised to be a strange soldier, and he didn't allow me to wait to ask on the grounds of military secrets, but I never saw where the strange was!"

"The way of ghosts and gods is far away, and it may not be useful on the battlefield."

"I heard that Your Majesty has issued a decree to summon Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, Chang Sheng, Founding Duke of Guo, and Sun Ke, Marquis of Quanning, to return to Beijing."

"Counting up, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is the closest to Jingshi, and he can rush back overnight."

"I have some friendship with him."

"His Royal Highness Taisun is going to take five hundred new troops on the expedition, I am only afraid that I will miss the country because of this, I can let him intercept the new army on the road and test the truth. If so, lift the lid on the new army. ”

"It works!" Qi Tai said: "Cao Guogong has won the trust of His Majesty, and he is in charge of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, and it is very suitable for him to stop the new army and test the truth." ”

"Third," Huang Zicheng's voice lowered a lot.

"I can't hide it, Xu Dongjiang, the current governor of Jiaxing Mansion, has a friendship with me in the same year, and I will repair a book to make him ......"

"Never!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qi Tai.

"Are you crazy? Do you really want to murder the emperor's grandson? I can't accompany Qi in this matter! ”

"Definitely!" Huang Zicheng shook his head.

"Just to scare him and let the battle be lost. He was escorted by five hundred brocade guards led by Jiang Zhen himself, and if the situation was not right, he would naturally evacuate without any danger. ”

"That's not going to work either!" Qi Tai Zhengse said: "How innocent are the people of Jiaxing Mansion, and we can ignore hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing because of the battle of the imperial court?" ”

"Confused!"

Huang Zicheng reprimanded: "As ministers of the imperial court, I should pretend to be Kyushu Wanfang and the entire Great Tomorrow in my heart. ”

"Compassion is not in charge of the army, and love is not in charge."

"Let me ask you, is it the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing Mansion who are important, or the hundreds of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty who are more important?"

"What's more, what I mean is just to let the imperial grandson suffer a defeat, not to say that I want to give Jiaxing Mansion to the Japanese and the thieves."

"If he can be deposed as prince, even if ten thousand people die, a hundred thousand, or a million die because of it, what does it matter? Isn't it worth it? ”

"Do you want to watch him ascend the throne as the emperor and harm the Ming Dynasty?"

"If I can, I, Huang Zicheng, am willing to die first! Do you Qi Tai only know how to protect yourself? Did I misread you? ”

He said it rightly.

There is a great way to sacrifice my life, although there are tens of millions of people, I have the momentum of going.

They think that they have the truth and that everything they are doing is right, but they do not know that they have already gone astray and are going further and further.

Qi Tai's expression slowly withered.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Is it really the only way to do it?" ”

Huang Zicheng said: "When the judgment continues, it will be chaotic." ”

Qi Tailiang was silent for a long time.

After about a quarter of an hour he stood up, paced a few steps, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" ”

"You are the left squire of the military department, just ......" Huang Zicheng's voice became lower and lower.
