Another old man, Chongzhen glanced at the prince and then at Chang Yu. Is this all a coincidence?
Furthermore, when he heard Chang Yu's words: The emperor guards the country and the king dies in the country, he knew that he might be dead. He gave up the originally entangled move to the south and gave up in his heart. Instead of fleeing south, he was criticized by the cabinet and suffered. People accuse you of insulting your ancestors. It is better to mourn with the country in a dignified way. Anyway, you will die. If you don't leave a famous name for a lifetime, you will be worthy of your ancestors. Moreover, if there is only February left, it will be too late to move south, so it can only be considered He ran away and made the world laugh at him.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has not left the country for hundreds of years. Even if the weak emperor was suppressed by the mob, even if the Wa assassin army besieged the capital, even if the emperor was captured, no one would admit defeat. The orthodox emperor was captured and refused to beg for mercy. Emperor Longwu and Shaowu committed suicide and died for their country. Not a weakling!
"I didn't expect that there would be such a loyal person like you around me, and I never thought that the hundred officials in the court would be inferior to one eunuch in the harem." Chongzhen nodded and looked at the prince next to him. Suddenly he felt that he was not so lonely. There was someone The son of the prophet, with a loyal servant, maybe things will turn around. Otherwise, why would God want his son to have such a dream? But he didn't know that the prince's dream was the biggest scam, but no matter what, he had it at this time. Some confidence is still good. .
"You are really beyond my expectation. It can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. I will reward you heavily."
"I don't want any reward." Chang Yu flatly refused: "I can't go on horseback to kill the enemy to solve the problem for the emperor. I already feel guilty and uneasy. How can I have the face to ask for any reward? I don't want power or strength. I just want to be steady and silent for the emperor." Just do things.” What he said was true, but at the same time he was afraid that Chongzhen was deliberately testing him.
Chongzhen nodded slightly: "You are so loyal, and I miss your affection. I will definitely not treat you poorly in the future. Now let me tell you how that went?"
"The father-in-law, Duke Ying and Uncle Xiangcheng have already nodded. The others will agree tomorrow at the latest. They have no way out!" Chang Yu said and glanced at Queen Zhou secretly, but saw that Queen Zhou only looked doting on him. She smiled, nothing else, it was obvious that she was heartbroken for her parents.
"It's so smooth? Have you ever made it difficult for them?" Chongzhen asked more tactfully. To be honest, he was still a little worried that Chang Yu would punish these nobles, and then they would be scolded to death by the cabinet ministers. Although he is now the emperor of the end, he is still worried about it. He was much more decisive than before, but he still didn't dare to rebel against the cabinet. If all the cabinet members were withdrawn and turned into a single party, a mere commander with no one available, the Ming Dynasty would fall quickly.
"Not even a hair was moved. I convince people with reason and law." Chang Yu said lightly, which actually made Queen Zhou and the prince look at each other and smile. Even Chongzhen could hardly find a smile on his face: "You really have a way, even those tough-minded people can be subdued by you." He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "They will arrange something for me later."
"What qualifications do they have to arrange for the emperor?" Chang Yu's voice couldn't help but grow louder: "When the national crisis comes, everyone shrinks their head, and it's fine to eat the emperor's salary without caring about the emperor's worries. However, they enrich their own pockets, use public weapons for private purposes, and serve the country. You moths, they are justified in punishing them according to the law, why should the emperor be afraid of their arrangement!"
Hearing this, Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu with even more admiration, nodded slightly but said nothing.
"Your Majesty, in this extraordinary period, you must use extraordinary measures. Only a sharp sword can cut through the mess." Chang Yu continued. He knew that Chongzhen was an indecisive person. To be honest, he still hoped that Chongzhen could reverse the situation. After all, overall He is really a good emperor.
But after Chang Yu said this, he regretted and wanted to slap himself, because he clearly caught the frown on Chongzhen's brow, and he was a little unhappy. He instantly thought that this emperor was not only indecisive but also willful. It was obvious that He didn't like to listen to the preaching of a slave, even though he had praised his unparalleled loyalty just now. Only then did Chang Yu realize the personal feeling of the so-called companionship of the emperor like a tiger.
Fortunately, Chang Yu quickly changed the subject as soon as he reacted: "A total of seventeen people were taken tonight. The bottom line for them is one hundred thousand for a family, and the worst is one million. The emperor's salary is urgent." untie!"
One hundred thousand! million! Chongzhen opened his mouth and couldn't help but said: "You are so cruel, I'm afraid they may not be honest and just follow..."
"I'm not afraid that they won't obey. Anyone who doesn't pay will be imprisoned. No one of these nobles can last for more than a few days." Chang Yu said lightly, and then comforted him: "The emperor only needs to withstand the pressure in the court. If the cabinet If you ask for mercy, I will shirk the matter and leave it to Jin Yiwei to handle it. If it doesn't work, I am willing to bear this bad reputation." Speaking of this, Chang Yu suddenly had a big question mark. Is Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and others actually just the emperor's scapegoats? Otherwise, they would stir up chaos in the government and the public. If you don't believe it, the emperor would not have heard about it. Without the emperor's connivance, where would the confidence be?
Chongzhen expressed his appreciation for Chang Yu's initiative to take the blame.
Chang Yu then said: "Your Majesty, in a few days we will gather these nobles into the palace, and then we can hold a big competition in the palace to continue the preparations."
Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid that after this, they may not take the bait."
"Otherwise" Chang Yu waved his hand and chuckled: "After this, they became more and more trapped in this."
Chongzhen had an epiphany: Yes, there is nothing faster than gambling to get your money back. Having just had a piece of flesh taken away, you will inevitably feel distressed and think of ways to make it up. This is also human nature.
"You are really witty." Chongzhen expressed his admiration, and Zhu Cixiang secretly waved his fist at Chang Yu. This little brother was so good at making money.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Chongzhen suddenly felt a little happy again. There was such a clever man in Tianxing Palace, who was like a bone scraper for nobles and a little expert at making money.
"According to the order" Chang Yu kowtowed, and then said: "But it is best not to let some people into the palace anymore, and let them learn to shut up, otherwise it will affect the plan." He looked at Queen Zhou.
Queen Zhou understood immediately and smiled slightly at Chang Yu: "There are some people who I will never let them step into the imperial city again." It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Yufeng has lost any trust in his father's family, and instead has a deep trust in Chang Yu. The trust and love grew even more, in addition to the fact that the prince told Meng Yi that this young eunuch was about the same age as his son, and he was really capable, and he was particularly loyal. The more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him.
Chongzhen naturally understood who Chang Yu was talking about. In fact, he hated Zhou Kui very much in his heart, to the point where he was famous for vomiting. What the dignified head of the country did was really despised!
But he didn't bother to pay attention to that disgusting person. There were things worth being happy about, such as that million in salary. Thinking about it made him excited. He had put so much thought into it, and he didn't hesitate to embarrass the royal family and go around asking for donations, but it was only a dozen or two hundred thousand. , but this little eunuch made millions in one move, and it was justifiable!
"Your Majesty, did you hear that you are going to send Jin Yi guards to march westward?" Chang Yu asked suddenly. Even the prince next to him was a little surprised. Originally, they had planned to discuss the matter again, but now that he said it made him a little worried, Mainly because they were afraid of exposing Chang Yu's eunuch army.
Chongzhen couldn't help but glance at Zhu Cihong after hearing this, which made the prince even more panicked. Fortunately, Chongzhen only glanced at him. If the prince leaked these political affairs to an eunuch on weekdays, he would probably be punished.
But things are different now. First of all, the prince is now too important to Chongzhen. Let’s not talk about the position of prince. More importantly, this child is now a prophet, who has been dreamed by the immortal. Secondly, he now also knows that Chang Yu is reliable and is the fighting chicken in Juebi's confidant.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Chongzhen asked
