Chapter 837

The situation in the Ming Dynasty was also very miserable. Since the Liu family started the army, they have been very passive.

At first they were furious because the canal was cut off and thought there was no more serious disaster than this.

But when they refused the terms of the Liu family peace talks, the two sides met again. Suddenly, the Liu family stormed into the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers and occupied the south of the Yangtze River. They found that a greater disaster appeared.

In the past, the canal was cut off, which meant that their taxes in the South could not be transported to the north. Now, their tax heavy land was directly occupied by the other party and became the other party's blood tonic land. This change is very serious. Daming immediately came to a time of ups and downs.

Many people are also optimistic that the great Ming Dynasty has been handed down for more than 200 years and has a very deep foundation. It is not something that can be overthrown by the Liu family's anti thieves. Even if the Liu family gains power, it is not a big thing. It is almost just to change the master and vote for the Ming master.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was very pessimistic and desperate. Since he lost Jiangnan, he had no better day. Without the support of Jiangnan taxes, Daming could not maintain his rule in the north.

In an instant, Daming entered the edge of subjugation. Others may feel good, but emperor Chongzhen knows that the time left for him is running out. If he doesn't be the leader of ZTE, he will be the king of subjugation.

If the rebels of the Liu family cannot be eradicated, they will perish. This idea has always been in the emperor's heart, so he has changed many consistent practices.

In the past, he always believed that if he listened to the words of these civil servants and followed the ancestral family law left by his ancestors, he could maintain the Daming Dynasty. From generation to generation, he always believed in this set. He held the highest respect for the scholar bureaucrats and ancestral family law. Even when he was busy, he would take time to have a scripture feast, Listen to the literati and bureaucrats talk about poetry, classics and Fu, and the great truth of life.

However, all this is useful. Things collapse in the most tragic way. Everyone lives well. Only he lives miserably. His fear of becoming the king of the subjugated country makes him question everything and subvert everything.

He also had earth shaking changes. These changes made him question all the people around him. There was always an idea that there was no good man around him. There were always crafty people who wanted to harm me. None of the civil and military officials was loyal. He just wanted to get benefits from him. From this time on, he would no longer trust others wishfully as before.

He always believed that people all over the world were indulging in pleasure. Only he endured humiliation and carried the weight, so he planned the military action next year alone.

Originally, his next year's military operations were very good. First of all, he ordered Yang Sichang and Hong Cheng to besiege Shandong. First of all, the essence of the land was regain. After securing the security of the capital, other plans were made.

Zhu Xieyuan, the pillar of the country, should have entered Wuchang at this time. He fought with the Chinese Army on the front line of Hu Guang. Under the joint siege and attack of several major armies, it is still possible to annihilate the chaotic Party of the Chinese army and stabilize the domestic situation.

But Zhu Xieyuan really surprised him. He suddenly won such a big victory. He was very excited and full of hope. Soon Zhu Xieyuan lost inexplicably, and lost so quickly that all his plans failed. Such a scene made him fall into deep worry and despair again.

In the words of emperor Chongzhen, he didn't know what to do or who to trust.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen could only come like this. He believed whoever could help him.

Xu Jianqiang can get money and food for him. He believes that Xu Jianqiang doesn't care how the food comes as long as his troops have food and pay.

Zhu Xieyuan could win the war. No matter how he crossed the bottom line and upset the court, Emperor Chongzhen believed him. So many officers and soldiers surrendered. Only the people of Zhu Xieyuan department could not surrender. It was because Zhu Xieyuan killed a large number of prisoners of the Chinese army. Officials in the court said that killing prisoners was ominous. Isn't that bullshit?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't agree with the Queen's efforts to let Xu Jianqiang take the post of crown prince and Taifu, who was responsible for teaching several princes. Even in his impression, he had more candidates, far more than Xu Jianqiang in terms of martial arts and literary talent.

However, it is very rare for the queen to plead with him personally. They have been married for more than ten years and have given birth to several children. They have always been like children. Empress Zhou has never asked him for anything. This is the first time the queen pleaded with him for his son. Emperor Chongzhen has no reason to refuse.

In fact, the Queen's doing this was discussed by the ministers in the court. They thought that this virtuous queen, who has always ruled the six palaces and the mother instrument the world, and has never cared about the affairs in the court, began to intervene in the government of the court. This is the politics of the back palace, which is very inappropriate.

However, the emperor rejected these people and insisted on the Queen's request. Originally, if these people didn't make trouble, the Emperor just asked Xu Jianqiang to hang up his name. However, when these people made trouble, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly woke up and decided that the prince had to let Xu Jianqiang teach. He had to teach his skills to the prince when he was free.

Moreover, the emperor began not to listen to these civil servants. The most prominent feature was that he was no longer keen on listening to scriptures and banquets. In the past, as long as he was free, he would invite Hanlin scholars to lecture and reason for him. Even if you are the emperor's honor, he often opened scriptures, invited famous Confucian scholars to lecture, and then gave banquets, and the monarchs and ministers had fun together. This is the style of the wise emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it at first, because he found that it was useless at all. What's the use of listening to more scriptures? Can you get food? Can you get pay? Feed the soldiers? Can you defeat Liu thief?

If you can, these academicians and famous Confucian scholars are all top talents who are proficient in the collection of Zi Shi Jing. Since they have studied and understood so well, why can't they get food? Can't get pay? Can't calm the rogue bandits. Why is all this?

Moreover, the Confucius family in Qufu also followed the Liu family to the south, which made him very angry, disappointed, remorse and exhausted.

In the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the Confucius family did their best to treat them with courtesy. There were more rewards than anyone. Every year, on the day of offering sacrifices to Confucius, the emperor personally went to the Confucius Temple to offer incense. This courtesy was unprecedented, but what did the Confucius family return to the Ming Dynasty? When Daming was in turmoil, they actually followed the Liu family south, changing from supporting Daming to supporting the Liu family.

The Confucius family followed the Liu family south to support them, which dealt a great blow to the emperor Chongzhen and to Shilin.

Scholars speak of integrity, so they are superior to others, but often these people do not have any loyalty, so how can we say the word integrity?

This incident also dealt a great blow to Shilin. After the Kong family started the army in the Liu family, their identity was very warm.

The Jing Yun Gong, who was famous in Shandong, came from a good intention and influenced Liu Yuanqiao, the hero. So he set up a bridge to promote his marriage with the Kong family. He hoped that he could eliminate the estrangement and conflict with the imperial court and better serve the imperial court. The result was good. He did not resolve Liu Yuanqiao's wolf ambition and let him successfully pull the Kong family into the water.

The Confucius family followed the Liu family south. A big reason may be that they are in laws with the Liu family. If the Liu family fails, they may be implicated.

Of course, this is not what Mr. Kong is worried about. Because he is the descendant of Confucius and the blood of saints, anyone who becomes an emperor must give the Confucius family wealth. Even if the Lou son is big, it is just another person who goes out to be a saint Yangong. However, Mr. Kong feels that he is still young, not yet dead, not yet elevated, Just go south with the Liu family, which may also be an opportunity.

The Liu family is the Minister of the Zhu family. It is not in line with the tradition of the Kong family. However, since it is his son-in-law, he has to support it if he does not support it. He is afraid that the people in the court have ulterior motives to impeach him, which will make him suffer a lot.

Therefore, after the Liu family went south on a large scale, under the repeated lobbying and benefits of Liu Yuanqiao, Master Kong also went south, leaving his second son to stay in Qufu.

Of course, now Shandong is also under the control of the Liu family. When he left Qufu and went to Nanjing, he did not move, but said to visit relatives and friends.

However, because of his special status and travel in special periods, many people mistakenly interpret him as supporting the Liu family. In fact, Master Kong doesn't have many choices. He doesn't support his son-in-law. Can he still support the emperor?

With the travel of the Kong family owners and their support, the Liu family also shouted the slogan of learning from others, which raised their status. In the past, scholars all over the world were very hostile to the Liu family.

They thought what they did was very unkind, but after the Kongs first expressed their support for them, many people began to hesitate.

Many scholars are thinking, anyway, he can't get ahead in the Ming Dynasty, and he hasn't received any royal grace. Why can't he change to the Ming Lord?

A more important reason is that even Sheng Yan Gong voted for the Liu family. Why can't they vote? Moreover, the Liu family is Chinese and orthodox. There is no problem in defecting to them.

This means that the whole Shilin began to accept and recognize the Liu family, which made Daming lose a little advantage. Emperor Chongzhen was crazy from this time.
