- Chapter 50, That Fat Man
The weather in Beijing is colder than that in Luoyang, Henan. You have to wear thick cotton clothes when going out, which is extremely inconvenient for pedestrians. It¡¯s just that the prosperity of Beijing has not changed slightly due to the weather. It is still crowded with people and busy with traffic.
Looking at it from the perspective of Zhu Yousong, who is full of historical news, Bi Ding will sigh: the barbarians outside the pass are watching, natural disasters are constant in the country, the court is corrupt and incompetent, the building is about to collapse, but the people of the world continue to enjoy themselves, in fact, everyone is in a coma. , I am awake alone.
The supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was reviewing memorials in the Hall of Yangxin. There were heaters in the four corners of the hall, which made the hall feel extremely warm. There was also a piece of sandalwood burning slowly, which was soothing and calming.
I saw Emperor Chongzhen concentrating on reviewing the memorials, his thin face was serious, and his sharp eyebrows were frowning, as if the memorials in his hands were telling extremely painful events.
Snatching, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in." Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand. He knew that the only one who could come at this time was Wang Chengen. Only Wang Chengen dared to come when he was reviewing the memorial.
Chongzhen leaned on the back of the chair, raised his eyebrows softly, and asked, "But what's the news?"
A similarly thin eunuch wearing black clothes slowly walked into the Yangxin Hall. Looking at Chongzhen's tired expression, he couldn't help but feel heartache. Chongzhen had been brought up by him since he was a child, and he had a deep affection for him as his son. However, this son was not even as old as himself, but his temples were already gray and crow's feet had appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Wang Chengen walked softly to Chongzhen, and while slowly putting away the approved memorials, he said softly: "Your Majesty, there is news every day. However, there are some interesting news today. I wonder if the Emperor is interested. ?¡±
"Oh, interesting news? Tell me." Chongzhen moved his body to hide more comfortably.
Wang Chengen enjoyed this feeling very much and continued softly: "The first is the good news. Most of the rogue bandits Li Zicheng have been eliminated by Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" When Chongzhen heard the news, he immediately opened his eyes and said hello. In his heart, the rogue bandit Li Zicheng was like a gangrene attached to his bones, consuming his heart and energy. Now that he heard that Li Zicheng had been eliminated as the main force, how could he not be happy? He immediately asked: "Have you ever killed Li Zicheng?"
Wang Chengen smiled and said: "Li Zicheng is as cunning as a fox. Although his main force was wiped out by our army, he escaped with his cronies. But why should the emperor worry? How can a powerless tiger hurt someone!"
When Chongzhen heard the words, he became energetic and said: "That's true. However, to cut grass, we must root out the roots, and to eradicate evil, we must do everything we can. Later, you will issue an order for me. In addition to sealing Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and his son, you also asked them to make sure that Li Zicheng's Offer your head."
"Don't worry, this old slave." Wang Chengen smiled and nodded.
"Is there any other interesting news?" Chongzhen asked expectantly.
Wang Chengen did not show off, and said straightforwardly: "Commander Lu Xiangsheng reported, and Zhang Xianzhong of Hubei also accepted the surrender with his troops. Your Majesty, now that the two major bandits have been destroyed, it is really God's blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
Chongzhen put his palms on his hands and laughed and said: "More than God estimates the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a miracle from heaven."
For a time, Chongzhen was like a chicken with blood, and his ambition was like a raging fire, fierce and hot, as if under his leadership, Ming Dynasty embarked on the road to rejuvenation.
In the eyes of Chongzhen, the two big bandits Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were the biggest enemies of the Ming Dynasty. If they were not eliminated, they would not have peace of mind. Now that I have heard such two good news, it is like the stock market has two good policies. How can it not rise sharply?
Seeing Chongzhen's appearance, Wang Chengen had no choice but to hide the news of the Manchu Tatars going south. In his opinion, as long as Chongzhen was happy, nothing mattered, and he had already issued an order in the name of Chongzhen, ordering various places to strengthen prevention, also known as Commander-in-Chief Lu Xiangsheng went to support, so there must be no big problem. Even if there is, those barbarians only want gold and silver, and they will just give more when the time comes.
Taking advantage of Chongzhen¡¯s joy, Wang Chengen continued: ¡°Henan Road has also been extremely lively recently.¡±
Chongzhen rarely asked in a relaxed mood: "Oh, why? Tell me quickly!"
"Recently, I have complained that King Xiaofu was not doing his job properly and was causing trouble everywhere." Wang Chengen said with a smile, "Even the Chief Secretary, the Governor, and the Supervisor of Henan Province also submitted letters. Governor Hu Rizhang said that King Xiaofu committed murder in the street and encouraged the evil slaves to beat him. His son was seriously injured; but the Chief Secretary said that Xiao Fu Wang was not doing his job all day long, causing trouble everywhere, either beating the Luoyang order's son into a pig's head or hanging up the eldest son of a certain big family. The government has taken back the throne of King Xiaofu. Recently, I heard that King Xiaofu said he would prepare for a large-scale disaster relief event.""A pure playboy!" Chongzhen snickered, "My cousin is probably bored. However, being able to hold disaster relief activities shows that he has a heart for the country."
The tone was extremely relaxed and did not express any dissatisfaction.
"But," Wang Chengen secretly said happily, "but the money for disaster relief was forced by King Xiaofu from Luoyang wealthy families and local wealthy businessmen. He also said that if you don't bring the money in life, you won't take it with you in death. Donate more for disaster relief. , that is to accumulate blessings for future generations.¡±
Chongzhen laughed loudly and said: "That's right. This is a great move."
Chongzhen couldn't help but think that in the court meeting, every word, deed, and policy was restricted by hundreds of officials, and he was really living a useless life. Hearing that Zhu Yousong was so bold, I couldn't help but admire him and felt very happy.
Chongzhen smiled and said: "If it's not a big deal, let him make the trouble."
Wang Chengen responded and said: "The old slave thinks so too. However, in the memorial, those people also asked the emperor to issue an order for Prince Xiaofu to serve as an official to help the Chief Secretary recruit the refugees, so as not to do anything that is inconsistent with the royal family. thing."
??But Chongzhen stopped smiling and let Prince Xiaofu wear an official position? Could it be that Zhu Yousong was seeking power in disguise? Could it be that their lineage still doesn¡¯t give up on this throne?
Wang Chengen drew inferences and noticed that something was wrong with Chongzhen's expression. He immediately guessed what Chongzhen was thinking and couldn't help but said: "After all, King Xiaofu's surname is Zhu, so he will definitely not do anything disloyal. What's more, recruiting refugees is beneficial to the country and the people. The first thing is that the country is stable, and the second is that the rogue bandits have fewer soldiers. It really kills two birds with one stone. What if it is a sinecure with a name but no power for Xiao Fu Wang? It can arrange the thoughts of everyone in Henan Province and give Xiao Fu Wang something to do. Calculating it this way, it¡¯s a win-win.¡±
Chongzhen thought for a long time and said, "This fat man, it would be great if he didn't have any objections."
