Chapter 410

Liu Bu knows that Daming is coming to an end. Daming's end is overstocked for various reasons. It's time and life.

But there is a saying that money is hard to buy. I knew it. Now if it was said that Daming, with a population of nearly 100 million, would be ruled by JianNu, with a population of only about 200000, it is estimated that many people would not believe it, but the fact is so ironic and shocking.

Liu Bu knew that Daming would perish, so he would make very reasonable arrangements and targeted deployment, so he could use good steel on the blade.

But Liu Yuanqiao is different from him. He doesn't know that he still has a lot of fear for Daming. After all, Daming is too strong. For more than 200 years, its strength is deep-rooted. Although there is chaos in the southwest, bandits in the northwest and slaves in the northeast, it still can't control him. The capital and Jiangnan are still singing and dancing in peace and prosperity, which many people believe, As long as Daming comes slowly, he can wipe out the roving bandits, calm down the civil unrest and revitalize the country.

Because the current emperor Chongzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is an aspiring Ming monarch, and some even call it the little Taizu. With such an emperor in power, how can he deal with the government and lead the people to live a good life?

But the fact is that the emperor is not diligent. The more diligent he is, the worse he does.

In Liu Bu's original era, everyone knew what the pig died of? Pigs are stupid; How did Zhuge Liang die? Zhuge Liang was dead tired.

Zhu Geliang suck himself up and do everything himself, so he is exhausted by himself. Because he can not replace thousands on thousands of individuals, and can not take over other people. So is emperor Chung Zhen. He sees that the gods are not as good as their own, and do not give their own strength.

You should know that Wei Zhongxian, who was illiterate in the past, was assigned to his subordinates when managing the government and reviewing memorials, but he was good. He reviewed the memorials himself. He was arbitrary. He reviewed the memorials late every night and got up early tomorrow morning. He tossed about so much, but he made himself less than 30, All tossed to the appearance of a little old man, but the effect is very bad.

The rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty were getting worse day by day. When this happened, Emperor Chongzhen had only one idea, that is, the ministers mistook me.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the situation after Liu Bu subdued Fengyang. He believed that as long as his army was surrounded and all the officials and armies joined hands to attack, he could wipe out the wandering bandits in Fengyang, Zhongdu. If he could wipe them out here, it would be a comfort to his ancestors.

Who knows, in the end, the bandits escaped from the encirclement, fled all the way to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the officials and soldiers chased them out behind. Now what's more, he planned to collect more taxes in the Jiangnan area. As a result, there was such a thing as incubating silver in the Jiangnan area. The failure of incubating silver had a great impact on the Jiangnan area, It is said that all the rich in Jiangnan have basically gone bankrupt, and a large amount of private silver has been lost.

Emperor Chongzhen scolded his mother angrily, which shows that it is a fraud. These people with pig brains would believe such things. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to indulge in these things at the beginning, but he began to calm down after it was kicked. Emperor Chongzhen is actually a smart man. Once he calms down, he will have some ideas.

The same thing emperor Chongzhen was thinking about was that there were no immortals in the world. Without immortals, it meant that there was no silver hatching. That meant that someone was layout. Who was the layout person? Whose hand is the silver?

Emperor Chongzhen knew one thing, that is, whoever set this game, the silver is in the hands of who, and who is behind the scenes.

The person who can set up such a big game will certainly not be an ordinary person. He will certainly have a very huge force and have a lot of people. In this way, there will be more people who can be excluded, just a few people.

Emperor Chongzhen also had his own objects of suspicion, that is, Xu Guogong, the garrison in Nanjing, and several big men in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Hong Chengchou, Zhu Dadian and Liu bu. He didn't doubt it. It's OK. His suspicion made him feel that there is no good man in the world. Everyone is suspicious and everyone has something to doubt, There are also places to avoid suspicion, which makes him don't know who to trust.

But emperor Chongzhen also knew one thing, that is, he knew that there was a lot of silver lost. If he could find it, it would be more than the silver in the Treasury, which could solve the problem of Daming. How good would it be if he gave so much silver to himself?

Emperor Chongzhen originally believed in hatching children, but after this matter was exposed, he found the problem from another angle. Of course, this is also related to the reminder of his confidant Wang Chengen.

It was Wang Chengen that day. He firmly opposed it. He thought there was no silver at all and there were no immortals at all. Someone must be playing tricks, so he advised the emperor not to be fooled. Fortunately, he advised the emperor, otherwise the emperor Chongzhen would go to play in person. It is estimated that he will lose his face.

Now as soon as they think about it, they begin to consider a problem, that is, since someone has arranged, there must be profiteers. The other party has obtained so much silver, it must be used up and hidden.

Emperor Chongzhen hated East Hall and royal guards very much because he was bullied by Wei Zhongxian in his early years. During all his years as emperor, he never trusted the people of East Hall and royal guards. Although he asked Wang Chengen to hang up the title of governor of East Hall, he did not allow him to use this title to do things, Moreover, he also appointed Luo Yangxing, the son of Luo Sigong, the former commander of the royal guards, as the commander of the royal guards, but he has been emperor for nearly nine years. He has not called Luo Yangxing alone, so that many people call Luo Yangxing, the commander of the royal guards, just a clay fetus Bodhisattva, just a decoration.

In history, East Hall and royal guards were frightening and oppressed courtiers, but they were very powerful. But one thing is that their rights came from the emperor. If the emperor did not trust them, they would not be so powerful. Therefore, the biggest difference between Chongzhen Dynasty and the previous dynasty is that they tried their best to suppress the power of factory guards. Before, however, East Hall and royal guards were tyrannical, However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Wen Chen was allowed to bully the East Hall and the royal guards. They were very afraid of the ministers.

The power of the factory guards has been suppressed in an all-round way, which means that the emperor has no eyes and ears and no source of information. Therefore, in this case, if it is another emperor, he will immediately send experts from the east hall or royal guards to inquire what happened.

But emperor Chongzhen could only see what had happened through the Tang newspaper and memorials reported by the local government.

The news that the local government reported to the imperial court must have been polished and modified in line with their own interests, which also makes the things they reported seem confused and unknown.

This is why local officials suspect that Hong chengrichou, Zhu Dadian and Liu Bu have done it. They are very close, but when they come to the emperor, the emperor suspects more. The gang of powerful officials in Jiangnan are all related and each has a share. When he squints his eyes, he finds that there is no good man at all. He doesn't know who to trust?

Emperor Chongzhen was very interested in the whereabouts of this batch of silver. He was thinking how good it would be if I got this batch of silver? Therefore, after ordering Wu Zongda to inquire, he ordered local officials to investigate the whereabouts of this batch of silver.

In fact, he wanted to order the people of East Hall or royal guards to investigate this matter, but he remembered the scene of the former East Hall and royal guards bullying officials and people. He was a little cold in his heart. He knew that the factory guard was a fierce tiger and could not be used easily.

In fact, Liu Bu was very afraid of one thing. When he came to Daming, he was still afraid of Daming's royal guards and East Hall. You know, in his previous life, he knew the power of East Hall and royal guards from many aspects and channels. Among them, there are experts like clouds, but they are very powerful. If they keep an eye on themselves, they will be in trouble, Liu Bu deployed so many troops around him. In fact, he was not afraid of local officials. He was afraid that east hall or royal guards would stare at him and raid him.

If he knew that the emperor had this attitude towards the factory guards, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Emperor Chongzhen was very interested and wanted to know where the money went, but there was no one around him. Emperor Chongzhen always appreciated Hong Chengchou, but after the silver incubation event, he realized that Hong Chengchou was not a good man and was not worthy of his trust, so he began to consider looking for a new candidate, After all, Emperor Chongzhen was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was rich all over the world. The imperial examination was held every three years to select many talents for the imperial court.

Like the Liu family, he has always been thirsty for talents and lacks talents, but like the Ming court, he simply has too many talents and doesn't know how to choose to use them. In this case, another minister came into the sight of emperor Chongzhen. This one is called Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang is the real second generation of officials. His father Yang Henai is the right Shilang (hanging title) of the Ministry of military and the governor of Shaanxi. Influenced by his father and his family environment, he read extensively and was proficient in astrology. He was selected in the 34th year of Wanli (Yang Sichang, 19 years old) and a Jinshi in the 38th year (23 years old). He was a real academic bully.

Before Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, ascended the throne, he had seen the collection of local officials written by Yang Sichang and felt that Yang Sichang was a talented man and impartial. Therefore, shortly after he ascended the throne, he reactivated the father and son of Yang He and Yang Sichang (then 40 years old).

But later, Yang he was sentenced to death because he failed to appease the exiled bandits. Yang Sichang asked to resign three times to suffer on behalf of his father. All of them were rejected by Emperor Chongzhen. Finally, Yang he was exempted from his death and garrisoned in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province. It can be seen that emperor Chongzhen appreciated Yang Sichang and Yang Sichang's filial piety to his father.

Emperor Chongzhen promoted Yang Sichang several times, but Yang Sichang had to keep the system at home because of the death of his father Yang He and stepmother.

At this time, the imperial court was already in a situation of internal and external troubles. A large number of exiled rebels in China had a considerable scale. The most representative ones were Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. There were JianNu who entered the country many times. Since Yang Sichang had always been concerned about the current situation of the country when he was guarding the system, he privately had a specific plan for the future of the imperial court. In the face of a country with internal and external troubles, he summarized three points: we must first settle in outside the system; Enough food and then enough soldiers; Only by pacifying the people can we defeat the bandits.

Yang Sichang is a real talented man. He can see that Daming's external troubles are tight on the surface, but in fact his internal worries are fatal. Point out the key points and the source at one fell swoop. The so-called palliative treatment should first cure the root cause! Therefore, he suggested that we should first hold peace talks with JianNu, solve the domestic substantive problems, and then go back to deal with foreign enemies.
