Chongzhen finally realized what the problem was.
A lot of things have happened in recent days, seemingly unrelated events, including natural disasters and man-made disasters.
But they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are constantly distracting the court's attention.
Who would do this at such a juncture? Of course they were slaves.
Especially since I have done countless things to force Jiannu to go back to the juncture of Jisi's changes.
He was certain that behind these things, there must be the shadow of slavery.
If he hadn't traveled through time, what happened during this period would never have been imagined that Jiannu would take a detour to attack the Ming Dynasty.
But he waited and waited for two quarters of an hour, but Cao Huachun and Li Ruolian were nowhere to be seen.
It stands to reason that the two of them are responsible for guarding the palace and summoned by themselves. They can definitely be seen within two quarters of an hour, but now there is no information.
Another quarter of an hour later, the two of them were still missing. Chongzhen's heart sank suddenly, secretly thinking something must have happened, otherwise the two of them would definitely come!
Chongzhen patiently stood in front of the window of Dongnuan Pavilion.
At this stop, it took another half an hour for Li Ruolian and Cao Huachun to arrive in a hurry.
But their faces were full of anger.
"In trouble?"
Cao Huachun and Li Ruolian looked at each other, opened their mouths, and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Chongzhen's heart sank again, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak!"
Hearing that the emperor was angry, Li Ruolian knelt down: "Your Majesty, the reason why I and Governor Cao came late is because I went to verify something.
I have heard rumors among the people and want your Majesty to issue an edict to punish you! "
"Edict to sin?"
Chongzhen's face suddenly darkened. He had made many calculations, but he didn't expect it to be a sinner's edict.
"reason?"
"There are two main reasons. One is that the red air in Shaanxi is all over the sky, which is an ominous sign. God is warning that the Ming Dynasty is in danger;
The second is the Yongnian Fire. The statue of Wen Sheng ignited spontaneously, the Wen Sheng temple was destroyed, Wen Sheng became angry, and it harmed the cultural destiny of Ming Dynasty! "
"There are quite a few reasons, quite sufficient!"
Chongzhen sneered.
Sinji edicts generally appear in three situations: first, when the monarch and his ministers are misplaced; second, when disasters are caused by natural disasters; third, when the political power is in crisis.
The main function is to express the emperor's willingness to do things well for the country and the people.
Second, win over people's hearts and create a situation of unity.
The purpose is good, but it also depends on the timing.
An emperor issued an edict of sin, which means that his behavior offended God. What would the ministers and the people think?
They would not think that the emperor was responsible, but would only complain because the emperor's stupidity brought disaster to them.
This is human nature.
Now is the time to prepare for a battle with Jiannu, and it is the time for the army and the people to be united. To issue an edict of sin at this time will greatly damage the morale of the army and the people.
How can you fight Jiannu when your morale is depleted?
Whose handiwork is this? Was it spontaneous within Ming Dynasty? Is there still a shadow of Jiannu?
"Where did you hear this news?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there were some rumors at first, and then it spread throughout the capital. It was because Your Majesty had killed too many people since he came to the throne. God gave you a warning.
Nowadays, many scholars are citing classics and classics, and have found examples in history of national subjugation and catastrophic disasters after the phenomenon of red energy in the sky.
Secondly, scholars said that the literary spirit of the Ming Dynasty was about to be lost, and asked His Majesty to issue an imperial edict to sin against himself and ask Confucius to forgive his sin! I heard...I heard..."
"I heard that Kong Xingxie has left Qufu and is going to Beijing to ask His Majesty to issue an edict of sin!"
"Gong Xingxie? Who?"
"The legitimate son of Kong Yanzhi, the 64th generation Yanshenggong, is called the Holy Son by the people!"
"Shenggong Yan? Holy Son?"
Chongzhen sneered.
How dare a person who has practiced surrender for a lifetime come to persuade him to issue an edict to sin against himself?
I really thought I didn’t dare to kill... Well, I really can’t kill him now, and the scholars all over the world are going to riot.
The Central Cabinet and the six ministries will all oppose it. Even though Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli and others are now completely on their side, they must do their best.
But if they really want to kill Yan Shenggong, they will definitely oppose it.
It is estimated that only Xu Guangqi and other Western-educated people in the DPRK will support him.
After sighing, a trace of doubt and thinking flashed in Chongzhen's eyes. Historical records indicate that Kong Yanzhi was the "Chujin Biaowen" written by Xiang Jiannu after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
It was only the first year of Chongzhen at this time, and it was still more than ten years before the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history.
Could it be that Duke Yansheng is colluding with Jiannu now?
Or is this just a coincidence?
Some people say that the flowing dynasty has the ironclad Yanshenggong. Yanshenggong is not a court official, but only a cultural symbol of identity.
No matter how the dynasties changed, the emperors of every dynasty would highly respect Yan Shenggong.
If Yan Shenggong did not surrender to Jiannu, then Jiannu's violent temper would probably destroy the Kong family, and the people's spiritual leader would no longer exist. Yan Shenggong's approach was right.
It's a pity that Chongzhen came from later generations, and he is very aware of the destructive power of such people.
Duke Yan Sheng is like a public figure in later generations. Every move he makes will affect countless people. They have all surrendered. Will the scholars and Confucian believers in the world still be loyal?
What kind of atmosphere will be formed in the entire society?
"Your Majesty, would you like me to send someone..."
Li Ruolian didn't finish her words, but she made a wiping motion on her neck with her hand!
"don't want!"
Chongzhen looked solemn and whispered: "This kind of thoughts must not be revealed in front of the ministers, otherwise I will not be able to save you!"
"But if Kong Xingxie comes to Beijing, how will your Majesty face it?"
"He has come to Beijing, and I want to see him?"
Chongzhen sneered, then walked to the dragon case, started writing, and handed the paper to Li Ruolian after a while.
After Li Ruolian took it, he discovered that it was actually a couplet.
First couplet: Yesterday Yuan Meng was sent down, and today he is sent down a large amount of gold, how can it be righteous? Only then can we understand: It is good to encourage people to have more happiness when they enter the house.
Second line: Confucius said Cheng Ren and Mencius said Qi Yi. I have forgotten them all. I only remember: He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
Henglian: Shi Xiu surrenders the table
After looking at it carefully a few times, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Then he lit the paper on a candle on one side and watched the paper turn to ashes in the light of the fire.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it without anyone noticing!"
Looking at the ashes, Chongzhen sneered. Just because he couldn't be killed didn't mean he couldn't cause trouble.
After this couplet spread, he wanted to see how the Kong family should clarify it?
When this couplet spreads to a certain extent in the Ming Dynasty, he will have an excuse to ask the Jin Yiwei to check the Kong family.
Based on what the Kong family has done for so many years, he does not believe that they have not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they have, he can easily clean up some of the Kong family members.
"That's it for Duke Yan Sheng's matter."
Chongzhen took a sip of tea and found that it was completely cold.
So he put the tea down and said in a deep voice: "I came to you mainly because I want to ask, what's going on with Jiannu now? What is Huang Taiji doing?"
