Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 859 How could I be wrong? (1.2w)

Li Zicheng was mainly unhappy with Zhang Xianzhong's slogan of "Gu Yuan Zhenlong Emperor".

Zhang Xianzhong is willing to do it, can you control it?
Even King Gao Chuang didn't say a word, why are you so nervous?

Li Zicheng scolded Zhang Xianzhong for not knowing what is good or bad.

Playing the emperor's slogan at this time will definitely be chased by the court officers and soldiers.

Zhang Xianzhong said that it doesn't matter, he even dug a big hole in the Zhu family's ancestral grave, and he did the extermination of the nine clans, so it's not bad.

What's so scary?

Could it be that you still want to surrender to Daming in the future?

The two broke up unhappy, and this estrangement arose.

Gao Yingxiang didn't care about the quarrel between the two, most of the time there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

Now they just recommend themselves as Chuang Wang, everyone has their own little thoughts, after all, they are powerful.

Compared with the hard days of supporting each other in Shaanxi before, most of them are unwilling to go back. Having tasted the taste of power, everyone wants to be emperor.

Gao Yingxiang also had this thought, but of course he didn't bother to say it.

If you want to be an emperor, you must be a man with a strong army and a strong horse!
This was also the consensus he had reached with He Jinzhao. He Jinzhao's occupation in Shanxi would inevitably attract the attention of a large number of officers and soldiers. He wanted to go to the south and other places to recruit troops and mobilize more people to rebel.

As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang was really buried in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, these ignorant thieves didn't bother to find out whether it was true or not. After all, they were not professional touch gold captains.

Anyway, I dug up the ancestral grave of Emperor Ni Daming, and I was so excited.

Three days later, Li Zicheng learned that the "old friends" eunuch Lu Jiude and the general Yang Yufan led the Sichuan soldiers, and the Beijing camp commander Ni Chong led the Beijing soldiers. They had arrived in Chuzhou. Fengyang went south to attack Luzhou.

The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was burned, and the two directly responsible persons deliberately concealed it and did not report it in an attempt to get away with it.

Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows what the truth is, there are backers in the court to support them.

Don't think that they dare not think this way, they really dare to do so.

The censor Wu Zhenying wrote lightly in the memorial: "The thief has arrived in Sizhou."

Then tell Chongzhen some miscellaneous things.

As for the matter of the imperial mausoleum being burned down, how can such a thing happen? The designation is nonsense, and the thieves are spreading rumors!

When Governor Yang Yipeng replied to Taihe County Magistrate's request to move troops to Fengyang, he insisted: "The Fengyang bandits have been killed by the officers and soldiers."

As long as I don't go to Fengyang, and I don't see a big hole in the tomb of the emperor's tomb, then this story is fake!

No one wants to drag me to see how the imperial mausoleum is, so I won't go to see it, just show it off.

Neither of them dared to face up to the problem, let alone take responsibility. The responsibility was too great, and the whole family had to be buried with them, so they tried to hide it.

As soon as the local government concealed this matter, he finally left Tongguan and led the army to Hong Chengchou in Henan. He didn't know about it at all. He also ordered the governors of all provinces to gather in Henan, and he also wanted to meet the governors from all walks of life. soldiers.

He also had to check the payment of the salary, otherwise, within six months, he had designated a plan to suppress the bandits well, but his subordinates did not implement it properly, and His Majesty would blame him on Hong Chengchou.

Thanks to the fate of Chen Qiyu, the former governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou didn't want to send himself to prison.

Naturally, Chongzhen didn't know that the ancestral grave had been dug up, so he not only personally approved Hong Chengchou's plan, but also gave him the Shangfang Sword, telling him to do things cheaply, so that he must not disappoint my expectations and suppress the bandits in time.

Hong Chengchou was preparing to do a big job, carefully parading the troops, and even paid the salary himself to encourage the soldiers.

Half a month after the imperial tomb was burned, Chongzhen got the news that Fengyang was in danger, and sent a document from the Ministry of War to ask You Shiwei and Yang Yufan to guard the imperial tomb, and Liu Zeqing strictly guarded the Caopu area.

Three days after Chongzhen received the critical news, Fengyang governor Wu Zhenying reported the news of the imperial tomb incident no matter how hard it was to conceal it.

It's true that the car hit the wall and you knew it was turned, and the snot got into your mouth and you knew it was dumped, but it was too damn late!
This happened a few days later.

Chongzhen is preparing to participate in the Jingyan and receive Confucian education.

The people of the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the feast of scriptures, and regarded it as the first thing to teach. It was a special imperial education system, which mainly restricted the imperial power, and at the same time made Confucianism and imperial power symbiosis and co-prosperity tied together.

Chongzhen, who was about to be baptized, was shocked when he received Wu Zhenying's report: "The thieves committed Fengyang and burned the imperial tomb."

It's been almost a month since this happened.

Chongzhen was stunned in place for a long time, and then he was furious and grief-stricken.

As far as Daming is concerned, even if it is a grassroots person who asks someone to dig their ancestral grave, it is a matter of bad feng shui and humiliating. If there is a big fight, let alone a dignified emperor?
When Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, received the news, he collapsed unconsciously.

Even if someone else helped him, he felt as if Nezha had cramped him, and he couldn't stand up at all.

Chongzhen was poked by Cao Huachun beside him, and then he suspended the sutra feast, changed into plain clothes, went to the Taimiao to bow to his ancestors, and ordered all officials to wear plain clothes and save provinces.

The civil and military officials in the capital hurriedly changed into plain clothes and wrote comforting notes to the emperor.

Chongzhen knelt in the Ancestral Temple, which had been renovated at this time, and the tragic image of the rebels bombarding the ancestral temple was no longer seen.

He looked at the pile of memorials piled up on the side, and he looked a little dazed.

According to the Confucian tradition, if there are cataclysms and turmoil, the son of heaven should bear the main responsibility.

Chongzhen must have an explanation and an expression for this unprecedented change in the Ming Dynasty.

The usual practice is for the emperor to lower his own quality of life.

Plain clothes (not wearing splendid yellow robes), avoiding palaces (temporarily leaving the official palace), reducing meals (reducing food standards), withdrawing music (stopping court music), etc.

If he thinks the situation is more serious, the emperor should also openly review his immorality and immorality to the heaven and his subjects, which is the so-called "commitment to oneself".

But Chongzhen is a good-looking person. After the golden tartars ravaged the city of Beijing, he did not issue his own edict.

In the past, bandits wanted to come to the imperial city to kill him and bombarded the ancestral temple, causing the ancestors to be frightened, but he did not commit any crime.

But now that the imperial mausoleum has been dug up, he has become hesitant about whether to issue an imperial edict.

The edict of sin against oneself is mainly for the emperor to openly review his immorality and immorality to heaven and his subjects, which is the so-called "edict to sin against oneself".

Mainly from three aspects to consider:

One is to seek the understanding of God Haotian in the dark through self-criticism, so as to re-invite the favor of heaven;

The second is to use strict self-discipline to make the emperor himself deeply reflect, so as to correct his mistakes;
The third is to cheer up the courtiers and the people of the world through the emperor's strict self-discipline, and work together with me to pursue the great cause of rejuvenation.

Daming's ancestral grave was dug up, and the emperor had to explain it no matter what.

Chongzhen is a person with strong self-esteem and extremely self-righteousness.

Regarding the increasingly corrupt situation in the state affairs since he inherited the big digits, he always believed that it was mainly caused by the courtiers' responsibility for the country.

On the other hand, he himself, who is the emperor, is conscientious, hard-working day and night, shrewd and capable, and has insight into everything. He is a rare wise king in this dynasty and in history!

It is said that men grow up, probably in three periods.

The first one is when you were a teenager, thinking that the whole world will revolve around you.

After Chongzhen became emperor in his teens, he naturally thought so in his heart!
The whole world should revolve around him.

And I am the Lord of Ming's ZTE!

Such thoughts are quite in line with Lin Danhan's thinking that as a Mongolian Khan, others should look at him with high regard.

It's not unreasonable for the two of them to be called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young in the late Ming Dynasty.

I have to mention that Huang Taiji's luck was a bit too good, and his opponents were so good that he could beat them with a little bit of brilliance and martial arts.

The key is that these two people are unwilling to help the enemy in their hearts, but in actual actions, they have repeatedly "helped the enemy for pleasure and don't want to return", they are really the best sixth man!

This kind of monarch plays a greater role than the spies carefully cultivated by the enemy forces.

Therefore, no matter on the surface or in his heart, Chongzhen never admitted that he had done anything wrong, and never criticized himself.

However, the purpose of issuing an edict to punish oneself is to express to all the subjects in the world that I was wrong in the most public and solemn way!

What does Hou Jin Dongyi think of me?

How does this make the Mongolian northern captives think of me?

Isn't this just a joke for those gangsters to see me?
There is also the younger brother North Korea, seeing that I have issued an edict of guilt, will they continue to approach Houjin, thinking that I can't do it?
What will the people of the world think of me?

For Chongzhen, who was used to arrogant self-esteem, it was psychologically difficult to bear the guilt of his own edict.

It's no different from the kind where he wants to slap himself in the face in front of the whole world, and repeatedly slaps himself.

Chongzhen knelt on the futon and watched his ancestors rank up. For the benefit of Ming Dynasty, he could issue an edict of guilt, which would also boost morale.

The world has been in chaos for many years, and this time the ancestral mausoleum was destroyed again, which is a very serious matter.

Especially when he received the news, Chongzhen said that the imperial mausoleum had been changed, and he specified that it was not caused by my immorality, and asked his ministers to wear plain clothes to plead guilty.

After serving the emperor for so many years, especially Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, knew the emperor's temperament very well.

So headed by the cabinet, ministers of various chambers and ministers went up together to express their condolences for such a misfortune in the imperial tomb, and took all the blame on themselves, blaming themselves very much.

Your Majesty does not believe in the sincerity of the minister's self-blame, just look at the thousand-character self-reflection that was just published?
The memorabilia of Xiao Shangao next to Chongzhen are all the courtiers' review books, and they are all original!

With the responsibility of these ministers, Chongzhen felt a little better.

He looked at the content of these self-examinations again, and became more and more convinced that the corruption of the world has nothing to do with me at all, and it is all the responsibility of the courtiers.

If you ancestors don't believe it, I can burn all the memorials of my ministers for you to have a look.

The behavior of Chongzhen's move: it is true that you are eating melon seeds in the toilet, how do you open your mouth when you face your ancestors?

I really think that my ancestors are all ghosts, so I started fooling ghosts here?
After Chongzhen completed the psychological construction in the ancestral temple, he walked out of the ancestral temple.

The next day, Chongzhen ordered the arrest of Yang Yipeng, Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, Wu Zhenying, the censor, and Yang Ze, the eunuch who guarded the mausoleum.

And appointed the right servant of the Ministry of War, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Water Transport and the governor of Lufeng, Huaiyang and the four prefectures, and moved to Fengyang to cooperate with Hong Chengchou to encircle and suppress the bandits, especially Zhang Xianzhong. The rest of the bandits may have a chance to surrender, but he must die!

Of course, the first priority is to restore the imperial mausoleum, lest the cave become a home for snakes, insects, cats and dogs.

Yang Yipeng was ordered to be beheaded in Xishi, Wu Zhenying was fined to guard the border, and Yang Ze directly committed suicide in order to get his whole body.

Of course the eunuch could have a whole body, but he would lose the emperor's face, the servants would die immediately, and his colleagues would help him kick the stool.

After explaining these things, Chongzhen once again went to the Taimiao to pray to the ancestors in plain clothes, and reported to the second ancestor Liezong the misfortune of the death in the ancestral tomb and the solution, which was regarded as an explanation.

Chongzhen wanted Hong Chengchou to fight the bandits in the Central Plains and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

At the same time, he came up with a trick, that is to increase the internal army and train more eunuchs.

He thought that using these eunuchs to form an army could not only defend the capital, but also send troops to fight when necessary, which not only increased military support, but also did not cost extra military pay.

The main reason is that you can train a team without spending money, which is a great way to save money.

Chongzhen banned private castration from the top, then lost trust in courtiers, and recruited eunuchs on a large scale. Nowadays, there are more and more eunuchs in the palace. It is not surprising to have such thoughts.

But whether this eunuch army of more than [-] people can play a role is still unknown.

The courtiers were already extremely sensitive to eunuchs taking power, and now they have created an army of eunuchs, trying to copy Wei Zhongxian's path. They started to talk about the inner court fighting, and there was a big explosion in Wang Gong's factory, a fire in the palace, and so on.

The Confucian theory of interaction between heaven and man has always been a sharp weapon in their hands!

It's all your fault that Chongzhen ignored this, which led to the burning of the imperial mausoleum, and now it's babbling again, I don't listen.

But the harm caused by the matter of the imperial mausoleum is far from being calmed by a few measures that Chongzhen came up with.

In particular, his Japanese lecturer teacher suggested that he hoped that Chongzhen would punish himself.

In his opinion, the main soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were weak, the guest soldiers were arrogant and violent, the court discussions were superficial, and there was no winning strategy.

They almost pointed their noses at the cabinet and scolded them as trash snacks, especially Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War. Get no face.

Then he hoped to widely publicize virtue and eliminate people's sufferings.

One is that all taxes owed seven years before Chongzhen were exempted.

Second, this year's collection of money and food by local officials should also be slowed down, and should also be reduced by [-]%.

The third is that the people in the southeast are troubled by the miscellaneous colors. Except for the supply of military supplies, there is nothing to change. The rest of the silk cloth, silk, cotton, pigments and paints are all changed to folded colors (money instead of things).

Ni Yuanlu also hopes that the bureaucrats can put aside their previous suspicions and work together to change the atmosphere of old fights in the past decades.

Chongzhen read this memorial and praised it greatly. He felt that except for the imperial edict of guilt, everything he said was good, and then he handed it over to various ministries for consideration.

After Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, received the memorial, he was very annoyed at what Ni Yuanlu had written.

Therefore, after consideration from the cabinet to the six ministries, they still go their own way.

Day of the dog, you deserve it!
To guide us how to be an official?
