Chapter 457

At this time, the mammy who waited on the old Buddha and asked for information for her ran over. She smiled all the way. She said, "Congratulations, old Buddha! Congratulations, old Buddha! Congratulations, old Buddha!"

The old Buddha disapproved and said, "I haven't married a daughter-in-law. What's worth congratulating?"

The mammy saluted the old Buddha with a smile on her face, and then said pleasantly: "It's not the master's business, but the young master's business. The young master led my Liu family's army into southern Liaoning four days ago. Now it is said that he has captured Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Jinzhou. Shang Kexi has killed and captured Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming alive. This war has caused a sensation all over the world. The old Buddha has to change his clothes."

Hearing such shocking news, Chen Yuanyuan has been concentrating on chanting scriptures, but she can't help but be shocked. Basically, she was shocked. She knew that Liu Bu was very powerful, had a strategic chest and was determined to be in the world, but playing so badly was beyond her expectation.

After all, the old Buddha was used to the world. She said disapprovingly, "what's strange? Qingzhi, he is a man of great ability. What can't he do?"

If it was the old Buddha in the past, she must be happy about it. But after talking to her son, she knew that the Liu family was at a crossroads and on the eve of rebellion. Therefore, she looked down on the so-called awards of the imperial court. You know, this is not a good thing. She was too much rewarded by the previous dynasty until the rebellion When you wait, you will be gossip.

Master Buddha, she certainly doesn't have the idea of rebellion. For a woman like her, as long as she has a happy meal and her children and grandchildren are full, it's the greatest comfort. He doesn't have so much desire for power, but this is a family matter. This is the problem that the Liu family is bound to move forward and pushed forward by the times, which makes her have no choice.

However, the old Buddha still doesn't understand her. She still feels that her son's ambition is too big. In the past, it can be said that the Liu family was forced to leave, but his son used this move to form an alliance with the Kong family. Since he formed an alliance with the Kong Family, the wealth of the Liu family can always be guaranteed. If so, why do you want to rebel and drag the family in?

The old Buddha is good in the backyard, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything. Now she knows that Daming is in chaos, and there is a sign of the end of the world. The Liu family can't be said to be ambitious. Since they can't withstand the pressure and start disaster relief, she knows that the Liu family has embarked on the road of getting out of control, but many times, you don't want to go like this. Don't worry People also force you to go, just like Zhao Kuangyin in Chen Qiao's mutiny. It can't be said that he is only thinking about rebellion. He should still think about the old feelings of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but the generals force him, and he can't help it. Even now, the Liu family is forced to move forward by the times.

In the past, the Liu family was so rich that winter was coming. If they did not take out these money and food for large-scale disaster relief, they were afraid that they would attract criticism from the world. Moreover, once a large number of refugees had nothing to eat and starved to death, there would be a civil commotion or riot, which would also have a great impact on the local area.

However, the Liu family did not get any good after they went all out to relieve the disaster. The Liu family went all out to relieve the disaster, but only made them get a charge of buying the people's hearts in the imperial court. You know, this charge can be big or small. For an official, it is definitely not a good evaluation. It is easy to be used by political enemies, and it is easy to be punished Family trouble.

Now she is happy to hear that Liu Bu has opened the situation in southern Liaoning. Lao Foye is one of the few people who know the overall strategic situation of the Liu family. Although she only asks anything, Liu Yuanqiao doesn't hide anything from their mother.

Many people may not believe that the biggest obstacle to Liu Yunqiao's rebellion now is his mother, who is afraid of being implicated. Since ancient times, the rebellion has basically not come to many ends. Often, the failure of the rebellion is the death of his family. Liu Yuanqiao wants to fight hard and can't bear the disastrous consequences. If he implicates his mother, he will be very upset, It was only after his mother's support that he dared to take this step.

Therefore, the old Buddha knows the layout of the Liu family. She also knows the layout of the Liu family in southern Liaoning. The layout of the Liu family in southern Liaoning is worried that after they fail to start the army one day, the East Third House will be captured by the imperial army. They can only retreat to southern Liaoning. They retreat to southern Liaoning. As long as they concentrate on dealing with JianNu, they don't have to deal with the whole Daming.

They have a very strong navy and have the confidence and ability to hold southern Liaoning. Even if they can't, they can retreat to an island. At least they can ensure that once they are defeated, they can't retreat.

So others are happy. Buddha, she is just shaking her head secretly. She knows that since the Liu family has taken this step, she really can't turn back at this step. Everyone is happy to see the whole Liu family's mansion. However, Buddha, she is just worried and worried about taking this step. She really hasn't turned back, but she is calm on the surface, She said loudly, "since you are so happy, everyone has a reward today."

In fact, everyone was so happy. What they were waiting for was the words of the old Buddha. When the old Buddha spoke of reward, everyone thanked him one after another. You should know that the old Buddha is the supreme existence in the Liu family's backyard. When she spoke, Liu Yuanqiao dared not disobey. Even if the cashier had no money, Liu Yuanqiao would embezzle the money back for his mother's reward.

The capital is the Forbidden City.

Emperor Chongzhen is full of melancholy. You know, in many people's eyes, being an emperor is the happiest thing in the world, because it means that you can marry as many women as you want, and do whatever you want, because he is an emperor, and he can do whatever he wants.

But emperor Chongzhen didn't think so. It can be said that since he became emperor, he has lived a hard life. It's not as good as when he was a prince. When he was a prince in the past, he was only worried about being hurt by Wei Zhongxian. Now he's well. He's worried that JianNu will take his world, wandering bandits will take his world, and all the officials in the court will be unfaithful, When he became the emperor, he had to worry too much. He reviewed the memorials late at night. Even under the three urging and four invitation of the queen and eunuch, he reluctantly returned to the bedroom. As a result, he lost sleep most of the time. He was in the bedroom for a moment, and then went to the early morning.

It can be said that emperor Chongzhen was the most diligent emperor in the early Ming Dynasty. Sometimes he himself had arrived at the Huangji hall, and the ministers were still coming in twos and threes.

Emperor Chongzhen was so diligent that he mainly saw that the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty were getting worse day by day and the world was getting worse day by day. He was very worried when he thought that the rivers and mountains left to him by his ancestors were declining day by day. He was worried that he would lose the rivers and mountains in his own hands and have no face to see his ancestors.

At present, the main problem of Daming is natural and man-made disasters. Natural disasters are extreme weather. Since he became emperor, there have been basically no good days, either floods here or droughts there. Drought is in the north and floods are in the south. As a major tax area of Daming, floods continue in the south, people's income decreases sharply, and they are hungry everywhere, become destitute and homeless.

However, man-made disasters are everywhere in China. Liao town is occupied by JianNu, and the chaos of extravagance and security in the southwest is in full swing. The wandering bandits sweeping the country also put greater pressure on the Ming court. In this case, the emperor went all out to deal with official affairs and political affairs, hoping to change these problems. As a result, he was more diligent, The worse things got, everything slid into an irreparable abyss, and he felt powerless.

At present, the main affairs of Daming are divided into civil affairs and military affairs. Civil affairs is lack of money and food, and military affairs is lack of troops to fight.

In order to raise more food as military pay to fight JianNu and roving bandits, he took out all the things in his money, and even took many valuable things from the royal family to cover military expenses. Even his own clothes were broken, and the queen began to weave cloth to supplement her family.

The emperor ate light dishes for three meals a day. If it weren't for the fact that several princes were growing up and wanted to add a piece of meat, he was afraid that he wouldn't be willing to eat meat. He was so forced by the emperor's life. If Liu Bu knew it, he would laugh at him that he was not as good as one of his officers.

Even emperor Chongzhen thought that he was really forced to be an emperor. Seeing that the three princes were wolfing down food, these were all ordinary meals. The princes scrambled to grab the plate of Dongpo meat. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh. Is this still a pro king? When people describe a good life, don't they say that rich people are like princes and Zhong mingdingshi? If people know that the royal family lives like this, they will be moved and donate their property to destroy the enemy, right?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the princes were rushing to eat the Dongpo meat. He wanted to eat one of them, but when he watched the children eat, he couldn't bear to let the children eat. He just took some green vegetables and chewed them slowly, but what he thought was where he got a sum of money, mainly for the officers and soldiers of guanning defense line to prevent autumn, You should know that this group of people know to ask for food from the imperial court all day. Especially in autumn, it is the peak season of JianNu invasion. If they are not given enough money and food, this group of Qiu Ba will make trouble and refuse to fight.

At this time, eunuch leader Wang Chengen came in happily, because he walked in a hurry with a smile on his face. When he walked into the threshold, he tripped directly by the threshold and fell down. He was so embarrassed. However, the eunuch leader smiled and couldn't close his mouth. He said loudly, "the emperor is very happy! The emperor is very happy!"
