The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167
Since the last failure, Huang Taiji became extremely cautious when facing Sun Jie.

Looking to the south, he fled with his soldiers and horses without looking back.

Didn't even think about trying again.

No one questioned his decision, especially Dorgon and the others, who ran faster than Huang Taiji.

He already had a general idea in his mind. He thought that since Sun Jie's soldiers and horses were in the two places, it was likely to prove that Sun Jie had captured the entire Yansui Town.

If that's the case, then you can't kill it.

Things have come to this point, of course, life is at stake.

With the lessons learned last time, he didn't even have the determination to try again.

I am afraid that the defenders in the city will rush out and leave them here.

In fact, the defenders of Yansui Town even sent troops to chase them down.

It's just that Huang Taiji was very cautious this time, and he was far away from the side wall. He just sent some cannon fodder to test it, and if something went wrong, he fled thousands of miles away.

When running, they dare not gather together.

Disperse Dorgon, Horqin and other soldiers and horses, and divide them into several groups to cover themselves.

It can be said that once he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, Huang Taiji, who was so ruthless back then, has now become a man who is wary of everything.

The strong wind is facing east, blowing the pasture yellow from west to east.

Spinning on the grassland, it spun into the capital.

With a cool autumn feeling, it poured into Zhou Yanru's study.

The chief ministers of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, Wu Changshi, the British Duke Zhang Zhiji, the Dingguo Duke Xu Yunzhen, and the court officials, big and small scholars in the capital, sat in the study.

Their mood at this time is like the autumn that has come, cold and without any hope.

Zhou Yanru kept panting, even though he was sitting on the chair, his body was still trembling.

After taking several breaths, he said: "Everyone, everyone, do you have a charter?!"

Zhou Yanru's voice was a little trembling, and he couldn't speak smoothly.

Can you not shiver?
The army of nearly "20" collapsed in an instant like chickens and dogs. What else can we do now?
If Sun Jie raised his troops to the capital, Chongzhen would definitely hand over their heads in order to appease their grievances.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Chongzhen was really careless and wanted to protect them, would Sun Jie spare them?
Sun Jie can kill the heads of Jiangnan, how could he let them go?
When they thought of the vicious Sun Jie and Jinling, which was like a Shura field, they felt terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

What a joke, if Sun Jie loses to them, I am afraid that his death will be worse than that of Jinling gentry.

The news of the defeat of the official army was sent to the capital yesterday.

It was just controlled by these gentlemen so that it didn't spread for a while, so that Chongzhen was like a blind man who didn't know the current situation.

But this matter can only be concealed for a while. If you don't think of a way in advance, things will only get worse.

Everyone was silent, all kept silent.

What else can I do when I have nothing left?
Now that things are going on, unless hundreds of thousands of troops are pulled out again, between Shaanxi and the capital, otherwise, there is no way to stop Sun Jie.

Everyone understands this truth, but no one wants to die.

A sharp sword that could be cut off at any time was hanging above the head, and everyone's brains were turned to the extreme.

There will always be people who are "lively minded".

At the end, there was a lean middle-aged man with a goatee in black. He suddenly stood up and said leisurely, "I am from Jinling, and Emperor Chengzu moved his capital to the north. Jinling is also a place where dragons prosper, and there are frequent wars here." , why not sit in the south of the Yangtze River and wait for the enemy to retreat?
There is no danger around the capital to defend. After the sun thief invades Shanxi, they can attack the Xuanfu. If the Xuanfu is lost, the capital will surely perish! "

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room looked at him.

Everyone's eyes flickered, they really didn't expect that there would be such a bold person.

How dare you talk about moving to the south, don't you know the disaster of moving to the south in the former Song Dynasty?How bold!

"Ding the capital is the ancestral system, why go to Jinling?

Your Majesty today has a resolute character, why did he agree to move the capital to Jinling? ! "Zhou Yanru spoke first, his voice as cold as ice.

Except for Zhou Yanru, the rest of the officials were also talking about it.

"Northern land can't be lost, how can you talk about moving the capital so easily?"

"How can His Majesty agree?"

"This plan is really false!"

The name of this middle-aged man is Chen Yan, and he is now the Minister of Rites.

According to the trend of history, he will be the last chief minister of the cabinet.

To say that Zhou Yanru is a famous person in Donglin, then Chen Yan is a complete waste.

Not to mention being bitter and mean, Chen Yan was also extremely incompetent. During his official career, he wantonly eliminated dissidents, cultivated party members, avenged his personal revenge, and deceived Chongzhen.

As the number one favorite of Chongzhen after Zhou Yanru was dismissed, he had no plans and made mistakes repeatedly.

When Li Zicheng invaded Shanxi, Chongzhen and his ministers wanted to transfer Ningyuan Wu Sangui to withdraw from Shanhaiguan and lead Liaodong soldiers to resist Li Zicheng.

But this Chen Yan didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he blatantly sang the opposite tune.

In the end, Wu Sangui failed to make the trip. Afterwards, Li Zicheng went all the way to Datong, took Xuanfu, and Bingfeng pointed directly at the capital.

Chongzhen ordered Chen to act as the city governor, but this guy saw that the matter was irreversible, so he directly dropped his official seal, and walked away, throwing away the court and Chongzhen.

God is so reincarnated, and before he could get out of the city the money he had accumulated in the capital, Li Zicheng broke through the capital.

How could he, the chief minister of the cabinet, be easily let go by Li Zicheng?
He was directly arrested by Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin, whipped and tortured.

I couldn't hold on anymore, so I donated 4 taels of silver.

Four days later, Li Zicheng led an army to attack Wu Sangui, fearing that the old officials in the city would cause chaos, so he killed a group of them as a deterrent.

The unlucky Chen Yan was only free for four days before being caught by Liu Zongmin again.

After being drained of the last tael of silver, he was beheaded and tortured.

It is said that Liu Zongmin fished out more than 20 taels of silver from his home.

If a chief assistant of the cabinet from a Qingliu background only relied on his salary, even if he became an official since Hong Wunian, he would still be able to save so much silver.

Could it be that he can not eat or drink?
He is a treacherous man, so if he speaks at this time, what good plan can he have?

"Everyone, don't worry. The lower officials secretly think that things should be like this.

The sun thief is terrified of evil, takes pleasure in killing and cannibalizing people, and slaughters and tortures in Jinling. He is not a good person.

He committed crimes outside Tongguan and ambushed the officers and soldiers with treachery, forcing the officers and soldiers to retreat to the capital.

Afterwards, the sun thief raised the flag of rebellion, captured Shanxi, entered Datong, went down to Xuanfu, and marched outside the capital.

Your Majesty knows that the thief's wings are blazing, and the soldiers in the capital are irresistible.

Therefore, scholars of my generation were asked to escort His Highness the Crown Prince south to Jinling to ascend the throne, so as to plan future affairs and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

Your majesty is wise and mighty, and is the holy son of heaven in the world. With his own body, he blocked the enemy from under the capital.

After being outnumbered, he was deeply trapped by bandits and soldiers.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, who scolded the grandson thief in Qianqing Palace, and then set himself on fire to die for the country!

Alas!Great, my Ming emperor! "

Chen Yan's voice is full of emotion and lifelike, and when it comes to emotion, he even shed tears.

"Shut up, you fool!"

Zhou Yanru was terrified in his heart, shouted again and again, pointed at Chen Yan, and cursed: "Come on, pull this guy out, pull him out!
Whose official is he?Why are you so bold? !So bold! ! "

Even the bold Zhou Yanru was not as courageous as Chen Yan.

To put it in a small way, it is framed by design, and to say it in a big way, it is regicide.

From ancient times to the present, which courtier who killed the king has a good end?

Even if this difficulty is overcome, once the new emperor takes power, who can escape?
These people in the room were all terrified. They thought they were bold enough, but compared to the thin middle-aged man with a goatee in front of him, they were still not as good.

This guy has a heart like a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, and has the appearance of a thief.

"Treacherous, treacherous, dare to do such an unbearable thing, it is really bold, really bold!"

Zhou Yanru cursed again and again, for fear that Chen Yan would say something astonishing again.

He, Zhou Yanru, was just using the prince to make a fuss when Chongzhen was in a coma.

It's good for you, it's really bold to the extreme to directly use Chongzhen to make a fuss.

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, Wu Changshi, a caring dog, stood up and was about to pull Chen Yan outside.

Chen Yan was unmoved, and looked at Zhou Yanru quietly.

His voice was a little louder: "Old Man Ge, Sun Bandit doesn't want to change the dynasty, what he wants is to destroy our lives, the lives of the gentry in the world.

The incident in Jinling has become clear, those mud legs are safe and sound, and the dead and injured are all scholars of my generation.

If he comes to the capital, do you think you can escape?Even if you can escape, how can your son and grandson escape?

Sun thief, although he is an official of the imperial court, he does the deed of thieves and kills the gentry and scholars. This is the number one enemy of our generation of scholars.

This thief wants to practice the law of cutting off children and grandchildren, so why wait? "

With these words, Zhou Yanru of the town stayed where he was, and Wu Changshi also stayed where he was.

Class hatred is greater than the sky.

Judging from what Sun Jie did in the south of the Yangtze River, if Sun Jie really came to the city, would Zhou Yanru still survive?

Even if he survived, what about his son?Where is the grandson?

Wouldn't the family business accumulated by the ancestors for so many years be wiped out?

In the future, do you want to work on the ground with those mud legs?

What about the decency of a scholar?
At that time, will they be slaughtered like pigs in a pigsty?

Even if they are scholars, they can't get along in the officialdom.

But if they go back to the village, who wouldn't call out to those country bumpkins, sir?
Wouldn't you be polite if you saw that?
If this takes away their rights, what kind of scholars are they?

How can you give up so easily after singing about the taste of power?

So is the emperor, so is the thieves, so is the gentry!

His brain was running fast, and within a short period of time, he predicted the consequences.

Chen Yan's bewitching voice didn't stop, and he continued, "Don't you understand? This is not about changing the world by one family, but about the great changes in the past 2000 years.

The aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms of Qin survived the Chu and Han Dynasties. Even Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was surrounded by the presence of the Six Kingdoms.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms were even more controlled by aristocratic families, and only the emperor on his head was changed!In the Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, as long as I was surrendered by scholars, who would dare not give preferential treatment?
But what about the grandson thief?
He wants to walk the road of cutting off his sons and grandchildren. If soldiers come to the capital, how can he survive?If you can't fight with your life, how can you rule the world with your hands? ! "

People, once they are pinched, they will fight desperately.

Under various hormones, the brain is functioning to the extreme.

I have to say that this Chen Yan is indeed very courageous.

Although these words are the consensus of many officials and gentry at present, no one dares to speak out openly.

Because it goes against Confucian philosophy.

But now, Chen Yan completely tore off this fig leaf, exposing his dirty mind to the sun naked.

The ridiculous thing is that the Confucius family, respected by scholars, is just a head-kowler with weak bones, who only kneels down.

Chen Yan's voice was so loud that it startled everyone.

The room was silent, no one spoke.

Everyone was silent, their eyes were wide open, and they looked at Chen Yan in disbelief.

"you you you"

Zhou Yanru "you" for a long time, but still nothing "you".

Don't doubt the filthiness of the gentry in the late Ming Dynasty, they can do anything for profit.

Humans die for money, birds die for food, this is the law of heaven and justice!

Take the "Renyin Palace Change" during the Jiajing period as an example.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing had much more control over the government than Chongzhen.

Regardless of the size of the matter.

But such a cruel and ruthless emperor almost died at the hands of a court lady.

Behind this unbelievable thing is the "interest" dispute.

As for the words of cruelty and killing, it was just one of the incentives.

After Jiajing ascended the throne, the court's expenses increased day by day, the army was short of pay for a long time, and even the "Datong Mutiny" happened.

In order to be able to "squeeze out" money, he "actively" "reduced" the expenses in the palace.

The last two levels of "hou", "concubine", "concubine", "noble man" and "talented man" that have been passed down for a hundred years will be directly cut off, and the name, canonization ceremony and corresponding treatment will be abolished.

The more insane thing is yet to come. Before Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the rule was that the maids of the emperor's concubine could be promoted to empress concubine even if they only had one fortune.

But Jiajing changed the rules, even if he was lucky, he might not be able to be promoted to concubine.

However, Jiajing's big killer move is still to come, not only reducing the "nobles" and "talented people", but also reducing the treatment of all concubines and family members.

In the eighth year of Jiajing, Jiajing issued such an imperial edict.

Regulations: "Except for the founding hero, all other relatives can only enjoy the title of one generation. After the death of the head of the count or the uncle of the country, the descendants will be ordinary people. Order Wei, Ding, Pengcheng, and Hui'an to inherit the title as before. , Yu Zhi end himself, writing as an order."

Jiajing had a good idea, he was suffering from his own woman, and squeezed out money to support the frontier army.

But he underestimated the cruelty of a woman.

I am used to enjoying the glory and wealth, but suddenly it disappears, who can bear it?

What's more, there are families attached to these women.

How can these vampires endure?

Thus, the "Renchen Palace Change" took place.

Under the instigation of "Concubine Wang Ning", the concubine of Jiajing, dozens of court ladies headed by Yang Jinying launched a "beheading plan" against Jiajing.

A woman can do black hands to the powerful Emperor Jiajing for the sake of profit, let alone these gentry who grew up drinking human blood.

They are much more ruthless than the concubines.

It just didn't touch their interests.

Once their interests are touched, the emperor is a fart.

It is not surprising that Chen Yan can say such words.

The moon is rising higher and higher, midnight is approaching, and the most cloudy time of the day has come.

Suddenly a gust of autumn wind blew open the door and poured into the room.

The candles on the table and beside them flickered a few times, and then went out.

The moonlight outside the house poured into the room like a tide.

In Zhou Yanru's eyes, this "tide" had already covered his chest, making him unable to breathe.

　Thanks peinhope for the reward, thank you for your support! ! !
