Chenghao listened to the story with great interest. As a senior homestead, he liked to listen to the story, especially the story of Chongzhen, a man with too many regrets, which made him more interested.
"When I was in the position, I was in a dangerous moment, when the traitor Wei Zhongxian was in the power to fall into the country, and his claws and teeth were all over the court, and the Manchu Dynasty was referred to as" castration party "
"My brother had told me to reuse Wei Zhongxian before he died. If the party would not be castrated, the Donglin Party and others would not be able to turn the sky. Daming, a ship full of devastation, could continue to maintain."
"In fact, when I was a child, I was naive to think that the emperor had great power and even omnipotency. It was as easy to kill an ant if I wanted to get rid of someone.
I was only 17 years old at that time. Although I grew up in the palace since childhood, I also knew a lot of tricks of plotting, but after all, I didn't really do the emperor. I thought about the skill of weighing the emperor, and I thought about it too much. "
"I also wanted to follow my brother's instructions, and I didn't want to kill Wei Zhongxian directly. But later, I found that I was wrong. The throne was not as simple as I thought. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was no longer the only dog that his brother was in the world, but had become a wolf. "
"I can allow hungry wolves to hunt outside, but Wei Zhongxian, a hungry wolf, whether in the palace or outside the court, has been full of claws and teeth. Maybe even myself, it may have become his prey. For him at that time, it is not difficult to secretly control another emperor!"
"In order to protect myself, I can only reach an agreement with the Donglin Party and others to eliminate the castration party forces! The process of eliminating adultery is very difficult, just like playing chess. If you lose one step, you lose all the time, and even threaten my life. "
Hearing this, Chenghao interrupted Chongzhen's words and asked with interest, "after killing Wei Zhongxian, you have ever regretted it?"
"The world said that Wei Zhongxian was not dead, and the Ming Dynasty would not die. This reason, I also want to understand basically later, but even if it is understood, I have no way to choose, Wei Zhongxian does not die, my imperial power can not be guaranteed, his existence, let me like a stuck in the throat not to be quick! I never regret killing him! "
"The only regret I have is that some of his murders are too anxious to handle the subsequent handover properly and can not effectively restrict the later Donglin Party. Most importantly, I have not got the money that Wei Zhongxian has searched for in those years!"
When it comes to money, Chongzhen's remorse is more and more intense.
"In fact, although Daming has been in a storm, it is not hopeless. What was missing at that time was just a word of money!"
"If Wei Zhongxian's money can be paid to the Treasury and have enough wealth as support, I will not have to cry for the donation of officials in the Imperial Hall for tens of thousands of liang of silver in the future!"
"I can't build a strong army without money!"
"No money, I can't help the disaster and the chaos in time when natural and human disasters happen!"
"Without money, I have no bottom line in my heart, and I will tear my face off with the people of Donglin Party!"
"In fact, my Daming people are really honest and well managed. As long as they can eat, they will not rebel if they can not die if they are hungry and can not survive even if they have a little hope of living."
"What I lack is just some money. At some critical times, it can ensure that the people can live and not starve to death and revolt. Even if only two million silver, I can continue to support the whole Ming Dynasty!"
"Only when I have money, strong soldiers and time can I have the opportunity to rectify the administration of officials, to regulate land annexation and to regulate the landlord and squire who have satisfied the flow of oil under the shelter of those of the Donglin Party."
Chenghao listened quietly to Chongzhen complaining about money. In fact, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was indeed forced to die. For 17 years in office, he was depressed and unwilling. He had to think about a word of money all over the world.
In fact, the late Ming Dynasty is also a time when the famous generals came out in large numbers.
Sun Chengzong's wisdom, yuan Chonghuan's persistence, the powerful of caowenqao, the bravery of zuoreangyu, the firm of luxiangsheng, the strategy of sun chuanting, and the death of the scholar yangsichang as his confidant, built the last solid wall in the late Ming Dynasty.
However, living in the deep palace all year round, Chongzhen, who never walked out of the Forbidden City, has a very serious defect in character.
Doubt, extremely suspicious!
When Emperor Taiji came to Beijing City, he could take off his coat and put it on yuan Chonghuan himself. He just hoped that yuan Chonghuan could work harder, but soon he would put his intention to death later.
When the peasant uprising army was burning the Ming imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, he resolutely issued the "crime self imperial edict", reviewed his fault and carried the black pot for the ministers. He just hoped that they could work harder.
But the suspicious character, so that he soon, will kill some of the literary subjects to vent their anger.
He is frugal and his clothes are patched.
He works hard, working overtime in the daytime and working at night for seven or eight hours a day.
He was firm, even if he knew his ending, he still tried his best and worked hard, and did not give up until the end. In 17 years, he had six times issued the edict of guilty self to review his own fault.However, these are still useless. He works very hard and wants to be a wise king. However, he is limited in intelligence and suspicious in character. At one moment, he still praises the generals of the civil servants and soldiers, but at the next moment, he may demote the court member because of his suspicion.
The defects in his character made him lack of loyal subjects to follow. Chaotang's poverty and lack of financial resources made him unable to control the world, and his will could not even get out of the Forbidden City.
During the little ice age, the land annexation was serious, the imperial court was seriously beyond its means, the peasant uprisings continued everywhere, and the Donglin Party members were content with enjoying themselves and busy fighting with each other. Both inside and outside the imperial court became a mess that could not be helped up.
"Well, in the Ming Dynasty, the gas has been exhausted! "This is the eight words in a salutation issued by Li Zicheng in Xi'an before he gathered all his troops to set out for the capital city during my 16 years in office. God, you are the God above all. Can you tell me that I am dead in Ming Dynasty, and I can't change it?"
Although Chongzhen had become the king of the country, he was still very reluctant to the death of Daming. He was deeply reluctant to give up Daming.
"Qi number?" Cheng Hao chuckled. "Daming's Qi is not enough. I won't say it first. But since you can meet me, it means that your spirit of Chongzhen is not finished yet."
"After the life of an emperor, you must have become a qualified emperor in terms of power and knowledge."
Cheng Hao stood up and looked down at Chongzhen. His face became more and more serious.
"So Chongzhen, if you let your master and servant return to the moment when you ascended the throne with memory, do you have the confidence to make Daming rise again?"
