If the scapegoat is still stubborn, then even in Nandu, he can still enjoy the most luxurious hanging treatment. How can he lose all the crooked trees in the world because of this crooked tree on Meishan Mountain?
As the saying goes, where to hang yourself is not to die? For a man who has never left the capital, it is so wonderful to see the scenery he has never seen before and to hang his hands on the crooked-neck tree!
If he said these words, he would be so angry that he would roll his eyes. Since he had been named regent, a certain prince decided to be merciful for the time being and stopped.
"...This matter was all calculated by Master Liu?"
Chongzhen was so frightened that he was stunned for a long time, and then he asked angrily. According to this, he was undoubtedly the king of subjugation. This was what he was most afraid of.
"On the Dragon Boat Festival of that year, Zhang Ni and Luo Ni rebelled again in Huguang. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard, causing a panic throughout Huguang. Then Li Ni took the opportunity to flee into Henan, and the rebellion in the Central Plains was like a spark that started a prairie fire and was unstoppable. Starting next year, Donglu The army besieged Jinzhou. In the summer of the 15th year, my father sent 130,000 royal troops to relieve Jinzhou. However, they were gathered and annihilated by the Donglu in the line from Jinzhou to Ningyuan. The imperial court was no longer able to resist the Donglu in the northern region, and even the troops to suppress the rogue bandits were exhausted. Everything was lost. Until April of the seventeenth year, the capital was captured by 400,000 rogue bandits. Prior to this, my father intended to move to the southern capital, but was fiercely opposed by the courtiers. As a result, he stayed in the capital. The royal family was wiped out by the rogue bandits. After the rogue bandits captured the capital, Previously, the father ordered his mother to hang himself and kill Chang Ping's daughter. His sons and brothers fled and were captured by the Donglu. They were all executed. The father hanged himself on Meishan. After that, the Donglu defeated the rogue bandits and occupied the north. Then he went south to attack Jiangnan. Since the Ming Dynasty emperor and the prince were both gone, the army was leaderless and kings competed for the throne. Finally, Zhu Yousong, the eldest son of King Fu, ascended the throne and was named Hongguang. Due to constant feuding, internal strife was serious. In less than a year, the Hongguang court Then he was destroyed by the Donglu. Then the Zheng family of Fujian supported Tang Wang Zhu Yujian as emperor, and was destroyed by the Donglu. Forty years later, Dongfan, the last stronghold of the Ming army, was captured, and all the Ming Dynasty returned to the east. Capture everything!”
Since the scapegoat wants to hear it, a certain prince will recite it to him, guaranteeing that it will be "unforgettable for the rest of his life". This is the final fate of him and his Ming Empire.
After hearing this, Chongzhen immediately fell into a sluggish state again. He did not expect that in just five years, the Ming Empire would be invaded by rogue bandits, and the elite of 130,000 royal divisions would be gathered and annihilated outside the pass.
The most tragic thing was that his family was wiped out, his beloved queen was forced to hang herself, and he was even stabbed to death, causing the country to be ruined and his family to be destroyed.
This was many times more miserable than the fate of the previous dynasty's "violent Yuan Dynasty". Also invaded by the Jurchens, Zhao Song at least passed through the south and survived for more than a hundred years, while the Ming Dynasty only lasted for forty years before being destroyed. .
In comparison, although Zhao and Song's migration strategy was despised by the world, it was ultimately a stopgap measure that could preserve half of the country. It was far better than sticking to Bianliang and finally being annihilated by the Jin army.
Chongzhen didn't think too much about what happened next. He was mainly grieving for his family's loyalty to the country. If this matter was true, then it would be foolish for him to be controlled by the courtiers and not move to the southern capital.
"After Donglu heard that his father was in coma and his son established the country, he would definitely come back in autumn. Even if his father woke up and learned that his father had moved to the southern capital and that his son was mining on a large scale in the mountains, Donglu would still be gearing up. , eager to give it a try. Father, under any circumstances, as long as the orthodox bloodline of the royal family is still alive, even just one person can command the world, organize the army, carry out effective resistance, and reorganize the country. This is also the reason why my son asked his father to move to the southern capital. If the capital really cannot be defended, at least my father can ensure that the Ming Dynasty is safe in the Southern Capital."
With such a pig teammate who can activate the cheating skills at any time by his side, a certain prince didn't know how big a threat he would face, so he had to rush him to Nandu as soon as possible so that he could show off his talents in the capital.
Chongzhen didn't speak, and kept thinking about what the traitor said. The current situation was changing and unpredictable, so it would be a good idea to imitate Zhao Song's southern crossing.
In this way, with the prosperous Jiangnan as a support, he is determined to keep half of the country, at least he will not become a subjugated king who will be angrily criticized by his ancestors in a hundred years.
First of all, he must ensure that he does not die suddenly, and must insist on ruling for more than thirty years no matter what, otherwise the throne will fall into the hands of this traitor. The other princes combined do not have the means of this traitor.
To take a step back, if he and his traitor died one after another, and the other princes were still young, I am afraid that the government would be controlled by powerful ministers, and there would be constant squabbling.
"Don't worry, mother, as your son and ministers are here to ensure your mother's health!"
A certain prince saw that his beautiful biological mother was so frightened that her face turned pale after hearing what he just said, and her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, so he comforted her with some words.
"Hmm~! Brother Xun is interested!"
No one wants to end up hanging himself, but there is nothing that can be done if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. After Queen Zhou learned the cause of her death, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, with the eldest son returning from the fairy world and mastering many advanced weapons, Taicang is still rich now, and there is hope for the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the husband is still awake and recovering as before. Now he has to move to Nandu, which is the best of both worlds.
"...You can take care of yourself in the capital! I have the final say in Nandu!"
Chongzhen didn't want to mention the tragedy of the royal family being exterminated due to his own mistakes. He could only tactfully warn this ambitious rebellious son, and then thought about what he should do when he arrived in Nandu.
"Father, my son has drafted a schedule as a reference. I sincerely ask my father to accept it!"
A certain prince's heart was broken for this scapegoat, as broken as dumpling stuffing. He was worried that the emperor would not be able to play with Xungui and Donglin when he arrived in the Southern Capital, so he wrote a work schedule that he could follow. Just do it and you can sit back and relax.
The emperor's schedule, the ministers' evaluation form, and the bug-copying form can be regarded as the "holy trinity". With these three lists, at least it can help the second-rate emperor make less stupid mistakes and allow the Ming Empire to prolong for a few more years.
The first is to reuse factory guards. Factory guards are the indispensable minions of the emperor. Without factory guards, the tiger has no claws and teeth, and is just a big fat cat with no lethality.
The factory guards in Nandu are all controlled by the garrison eunuch Han Zanzhou. Their duty is to ensure the safety of Nandu Imperial City. Without the royal family staying in this seven-star hotel, their job is to clean...
Not to mention how loyal Han Zanzhou is, at least he will be very obedient when the emperor is still alive, and he is a good dog. What's more, the dumper himself will send a large number of factory guards from the capital to the south, and will not rashly reuse too many internal servants from Nandu. .
Although the Great Dynasty had two dynasties, one in the south and the other in the north, the south had only six ministries and no cabinet. It usually operated with the three giants as the core.
The three giants are the Minister of War, the garrison eunuch, and the governor of the Chinese army. These three most important positions are held by civil servants, eunuchs, and nobles respectively.
The most famous Minister of War in Nandu is Shi Kefa, but his military ability is almost zero, otherwise the huge Yangzhou City would not have been captured by Braid in one day.
Among many colleagues, the most capable one is undoubtedly Wang Zaijin, but the old Wangtou is already in Shanhaiguan. Li Banghua is now in charge. This guy has some ability, but it doesn't mean he knows the military. Being the Minister of the Ministry of War can only be regarded as a fill-in.
The garrison leader is Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, who controls 30,000 defenders and 20,000 naval troops. He seems to have a lot of troops, but his subordinates are all just waiting to die. They don't have much fighting power at all, and they are empty. As for the salary, there are not 50,000 people at all.
What's even more frightening is that it was Zhao Zhilong who took the lead in surrendering to Duduo. He was frightened out of his wits when he heard "Qing troops have arrived." It was really embarrassing.
When Chongzhen saw the comment in parentheses behind Zhao Zhilong's name, he couldn't help but immediately became angry. This was despite the bravery of the Ming Dynasty nobles, and he completely became a shameless second minister.
According to the arrangement of a certain prince, after the scapegoat moved to Nandu, he immediately deprived Zhao Zhilong of his military power and handed it over to Huang Degong to control and rectify it.
Then let Wang Chengen take over the factory guard from Han Zanzhou to ensure the safety of the imperial city. Yuan Jixian was appointed as the Minister of War. In this way, with these three people as support, Nandu's defense would not be as weak as before.
After taking over the defense of Nandu City, it will be much easier to hold court meetings and deal with those officials who have nothing to lose. Once these matters in Nandu City are taken care of, you can be free to "take good care" of the salt merchants in Lianghuai.
Generally speaking, it is three things - commanding troops, replacing people, and dealing with profiteers!
As long as you master the weaknesses of many civil servants and generals, it is actually very easy to act. Without a schedule and evaluation sheet, it is estimated that even if the dumper reaches Nandu, he will be fooled by a group of ministers.
It's very different now. Not only does the idiot emperor have 10 million taels of silver in his own money, he also holds two not-so-white confidential information in his hand. He is backed by Huang Degong's 20,000 troops. Unless the group from Nandu The trash really dares to launch a rebellion.
Their 50,000-strong mob together can't defeat the Yongwei camp. If something happens, the scapegoat can still mobilize the soldiers and horses from Lianghuai. As long as the scapegoat doesn't fall into the water, it's basically no problem to kill the group of enemies.
"Father, there is no need to worry about selecting cabinet members. Qian Qianyi is just like Xue Guoguan. They are both people who pursue fame but are greedy for life and fear death. As long as my father masters the four-character motto, he will definitely use it for himself."
It is estimated that if he had not warned him and acted decisively, Qian Qianyi would have been deceived by Qian Qianyi, and the guy's talk was incredible.
"...Oh? What's the content?"
Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. Is there such a good thing? Could it be that he also learned it from the fairy world? You can actually control the first assistant, you have to listen to it.
"Yes! Yes! Good! High!"
This is a clever trick given to Xue Guoguan by a certain prince. With these four words of secret, the prospective father-in-law can be the chief assistant for at least ten years, and he may even develop Alzheimer's disease.
"...What does this mean?"
Chongzhen was puzzled by this, it was too simple, it was just child's play, but he did not dare to say no rashly. The fact that this traitor could win people's hearts showed that he still had some despicable tricks.
"When I use Xue Guoguan, I just ask him to say these four words and agree to my proposal. Apart from that, the first assistant does not need to say anything. There are only the first assistant and the second assistant in the cabinet. The first assistant is responsible for obeying the holy will." , the secondary assistant is responsible for the real work. One heavy and one light, one master and one real, one can improve efficiency and avoid procrastination. "
My soon-to-be father-in-law is just a decoration. I just give him a look when I use it. When I don't need it, I just treat him as a live audience.
Wu Zong, the second assistant, is not a fool. When he sees how the first assistant acts, he just does it. There is really no need to create extra complications, because the difficult things have been solved by the above.
The cabinet may seem to have a small number of people, but its main job is actually to post notes on the imperial edicts, and to comment on the memorials. Any parts that cannot be approved will be reported, so the workload is not large at all.
In this way, you won't offend the prince, and you won't offend your colleagues. You can still receive thousands of taels of silver every year, plus various preferential treatment. Why not do it?
"...What if there are only two people in the cabinet and these two collude with each other?"
Nizi's move was somewhat clever, but Chongzhen was still worried that Qu Shishu and Qian Qianyi, who were both from the same forest, would work together to control the government. What's more, the relationship between the two was still teacher and student, so they had to be on guard!
"Before going to court or after leaving the court every day, my father can discuss privately with the first and second ministers and tell them how to respond at the court meeting. Qu Shichun is quite upright. If Qian Qianyi dares to violate the law, my father can give him some advice. He reminded me. Choose one of the two: marrying for personal gain or enriching your own pocket. Our ancestral system stipulates that officials who receive less than a hundred taels will be skinned and executed! If you choose the former, you can be sent to the mountain to mine, if you choose the latter, you can directly He was executed to serve as a warning to others. Qian Qianyi is greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for power. In order to follow the dragon, he is probably more obedient than Xue Guoguan!"
The soon-to-be father-in-law is very happy to be the assistant. Every day when he goes to court, he will poke it there and say "yes, right, good, high" and then the knot will be settled. If he wants to be more detailed, he will add a few words of flattery to get the bad guy Feng. Quan flatters everyone together.
There are six thousand taels of silver to be earned every year, not counting the dividends collected privately. In this way, it can become a quasi-national war. Who would be stupid enough to speak out and accuse a certain prince?
Xue Guoguan didn't care at all about the gossip outside. He was the first minister of the dynasty and was about to be among the nobles. How could he care about other people's gossip? It was the right thing to hold on to the "chicken thighs". His Xue family was about to It’s time to become famous!
People who are greedy for life and afraid of death can also be useful. If used well, their role is no less than those of upright ministers. Perhaps in some special occasions and positions, they will be more useful than loyal ministers...
"Is this how you use Xue Guoguan?"
Chongzhen had mixed feelings after hearing this. According to what Nizi said, Qian Qianyi was a traitorous minister comparable to Qin Hui. Nizi even allowed him to reuse him, and he felt a little depressed.
"I would like to inform my father that Lin Yuji, Shang Zhouzuo, Zhuang Qinlin and others, under the guise of competing with the Min for profit, opposed the mining of mines, the increase in commercial taxes, and many of the new policies of the ministers. In this extraordinary situation, During this period, these people seemed to be loyal and good, but in fact they were a disaster for the country! At present, the court must improve its operation efficiency, and the court meetings must be pragmatic and efficient. One thing cannot be delayed for ten days and a half, and things that can be done in one day must be solved on the same day. . As long as it is beneficial to the court to collect taxes and fees without increasing the burden on the poor people, no matter how big the obstacle is, it should be implemented immediately. Anyone who obstructs it must be severely punished, regardless of loyalty or traitor, because foolish loyalty harms the country! Those who obstruct The father moved his ministers to the southern capital, using the excuse that "the emperor is guarding the country" to protect the imperial mausoleum and persuade the father to stay in the capital. As a result, the imperial mausoleum was not saved and the country was lost! In the end, these people shamelessly surrendered first to the bandits and then to the bandits. Donglu, euphemistically calling this the right way, there is no doubt! They don’t even have the basic dignity, so why does my father care about their feelings? What they are best at is using their hypocritical appearance to deceive my father!"
