Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 683
This year, both Ming and Qing were shrouded in extreme tension.Ordinary people also felt that the war would break out again. Many people began to hoard rice noodles, and some took the opportunity to raise prices.

Zuo Fu naturally would not allow this to happen.She can understand people hoarding goods out of fear, but there is enough rice in the Daming granary.So after some reassurance in the newspapers, the mood of the people has gradually stabilized.

As for those profiteers who took advantage of the opportunity to hoard goods and increase prices, they caught one by one, were fined, detained, and exposed in newspapers how they fabricated rumors to create panic and incite the public to hoard goods.

Only then did the common people understand.

The emotional situation was not as tense as they thought, it was entirely driven by these caring people!

Seeing that this group of people had been arrested, they naturally applauded. At the same time, they secretly remembered the words in the newspaper: You must think on your own, and don't listen to the wind and the rain.

The situation gradually calmed down, and the year passed without any risk.

Seeing that Da Ming didn't take advantage of others, Da Qing was also relieved.After thinking about it carefully, I understood.

Zuo Fu has already joined the cabinet and looks powerful, but the empress dowager of Ming Dynasty has always regarded her as an enemy. If she goes out to fight, she is afraid that the court will be in chaos.At this time, Zuo Fu might have to stabilize the situation in Daming before proceeding with the Northern Expedition.

So Daqing still has a chance.

As long as the Empress Dowager Ming continues to die, then Zuo Fu can only be busy with internal affairs and has no time to take care of the Qing Dynasty.

After figuring this out, Da Qing continued to live in peace of mind.They are also researching firearms. Although the effect is very slow, it is better than nothing.

So, the first year of Chengyuan passed like this.

At the beginning of Chinese New Year, Cheng Kegong called Zuo Fu to his home.After some politeness, after serving tea, he said, "Yun Shu, this is a good time for the Northern Expedition. If you don't do it again, you may miss the opportunity."

He stroked his beard and said: "I know what you are worried about... The old man's worries are the same as yours. However, the plan for the Northern Expedition was missed just because of the Queen Mother alone. I am afraid that I will be ashamed to meet the late emperor when I die in the future."

Zuo Fu narrowed his eyes, "Why did Lord Shou Fu teach me?"

"The matter you suggested before, I think it is feasible after discussing with everyone."

Zuo Fu couldn't help being respectful, "My lord, in this way, your time as chief assistant will be greatly shortened, are you really willing?"

"Ugh!"

Cheng Kegong sighed, "Many years ago, this old man personally experienced the pain of the destruction of the country and family. Although my Great Ming survived, how can outsiders understand the pain of the people who fell in the Northland? Excessive concentration of power on one person The hand is finally the same as the country. These years, I have often read the books of your science sect, and I dare not say that I am proficient in everything, but it has also greatly benefited me in governing the country.

For thousands of years, separation and reunion, just like the poem says: Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.During these thousand years, the emperor changed countless times, but in the end it was the common people who suffered.If Yun Shuzhi's constitutional monarchy can be achieved, then the Zhu family dynasty can continue forever, so we can be regarded as worthy of the late emperor. "

He took a sip of tea and continued: "Many people don't understand you, and now their silence is just for the benefit of a word. But the old man understands that these people will be thrown off the boat sooner or later. That Mr. Runzhi said it well Well, the world belongs to the people after all.

The word "people" has a profound meaning. It is only in the past few years that I really understand what the people in Mr. Runzhi's book mean. This is different from the people we understood in the past.

As long as we continue to follow this path, keep improving, and treat the people kindly, then the great Ming will last forever and truly continue.Now the emperor is young, although he has been taught by you and me all these years, but this time the Japanese envoys protested but showed timidity.The nature is mediocre and the mother is strong, so next time, the achievements of the late emperor who have worked so hard for more than ten years may be ruined once. "

His gaze became sharp, "Yun Shu, you are too soft-hearted after all!"

Zuo Fu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's very pitiful for a seven-year-old child to lose his father..."

She raised her head slowly, and let out a long sigh, "How can it be possible to only have the feelings of a monarch and a minister after teaching a saint for several years?"

"But don't forget."

Cheng Kegong said: "The first emperor left with regret. And what is his regret..."

He stared at Zuo Fu, "You should be the clearest! Otherwise, how could he have left a secret decree for you?!"

Zuo Fu lowered his eyes, and after a long time he let out a long sigh, "There is a dilemma in the world... He hopes that the emperor still has a mother... Shoufu, you may have misunderstood the meaning of the late emperor, he does not want his son Xiaonian Sui has no parents, if he hadn't had to, he wouldn't have wanted me to come up with that secret decree."

Cheng Kegong said with a gloomy face, "Time and time again, she has taught a lot of lessons, but she still hasn't restrained herself. Do you know that she wants to train dead men in the inner palace, and you don't understand what she wants to do, right?" ?”

Zuo Fu narrowed his eyes, "Dead man?"

"In addition, the emperor is young, even if she does not listen to the government behind the curtain, she can still coerce the emperor to make the princes."

Cheng Kegong said: "The old man has received the news that someone is preparing to impeach your subordinates. She still wants to listen to the government behind the curtain. If this goal is not achieved, she will not give up."

Zoff fell silent.

After a long time, he nodded and said, "I see, I will try to deal with it."

Back home, Zuo Fu thought about it all night, opened Taobao, and bought some things.There is no distinction between biochemistry and biochemistry, Zuofu knows what can make people get sick and die slowly.

Compared with being forced to be buried, for Zhu Heyong, the harm may be less.

Zuo Fu looked down at the things in his hands, and finally made a self-deprecating sound.

As far as scheming is concerned, the dead man finally outsmarted him.At the end of the day, the thing that gave her life-saving still contained his calculations. He wanted himself to be the knife that removed the cancer, and he wanted to feel guilty towards his son...

Ha ha……

Zoff closed his eyes.

People die with the wind, but the things left by some people have to be solved by the living.

From the beginning to the end, he was just the knife in his hand.

After one month, the queen gradually became weak.

She yelled in the bedroom that Zuofu poisoned her, but how could it be possible?How would Zuofu poison her if he didn't even come to the harem?And the food she ate was tested for poison, and the people who tested the poison lived well, how could Zuo Fu bypass the poison test and poison the Queen Mother?
Everyone just thinks the Queen Mother is crazy!Because at this time, she is not only biting Zuo Fu madly, but also trying to listen to politics behind the curtain.

The emperor felt sorry for his mother, and after repeated complaints from the palace people, he also felt that Mr. Zuo was suspicious.If Mr. Zuo is really a loyal minister, why not immediately take advantage of the death of the false emperor of the Tartars to make an immediate northern expedition?The delay of the Northern Expedition seemed suspicious.

The person who has done this in history is Sima Yi!

And the mother was in good health, how could she suddenly become ill?
and also……

He heard from his companion that Zuo Fu advocated the reform of the imperial court system, which is called constitutional monarchy.Once the matter is accomplished, although he, the emperor, has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, his rights as a king will be completely lost.

No!

He shouldn't have listened to his father!

When he sorted out his father's relics, he found many portraits of Zuofu. At the beginning, he didn't understand why his father hid so many portraits of Mr. Zoff.But slowly he realized that what Da Companion said might be true.

The father has a crush on Mr. Zuo, so he is extremely partial to Mr. Zuo. He has lost his duty as a monarch and exceeded the boundaries of normal monarchs and ministers.

And his mother's sudden serious illness made him panic even more.What is the purpose of mother always wanting to listen to politics behind the curtain?Why did the former boss suddenly die?Why did the mother change all the servants in the palace?

The emperor really left Mr. Zuo with a secret decree to kill his mother, and his mother would not lie to him about this.For this reason, the mother also fell ill.

All in all, my mother's concerns are justified.What's more, he heard from the eunuch who was the chief inspector of ceremonies that Zuo Fu once scolded his grandfather with a cane, and his ambition was unimaginable to ordinary people.

The reason why she didn't turn back was because her father had a deep affection for her, but now she only has a little teacher-student relationship with her.

Mother is very ill, what if Mr. Zuo really did it?
this is too scary!

He thought for a long time, and finally came up with a way.

His mother's health is getting weaker, so he wants to fulfill his mother's wish and let her go to court with him.

After conveying this meaning to the ministers, the ministers naturally strongly opposed it.But Cheng Kegong's attitude was abnormal. He even used Liu E as an example and agreed to let the Queen Mother go to court once.

The subtext is: the queen mother may not have much time, and the son of heaven wants to fulfill his mother's wish, which is also in line with Ming's policy of governing the country with filial piety, so it can be satisfied.

The ministers felt very strange.

Cheng Kegong, are you out of your mind?She's just not in good health, and she's not dying.I went to court once today, and I am afraid that I will go to court every day in the future.

But the cabinet's attitude was surprisingly ambiguous this time, and Zuo Fu, who had a grudge with the Queen Mother, kept silent.

Son of Heaven...

The ten-year-old emperor this year...

I also have my own ideas.

Teacher-student relationship?

The late emperor's last words?

Not useful.

As long as a person feels that he may be threatened, he will fight back, just like Zhu Cihong.He knew in his heart that he would not rebel, but he would still be wary of himself.Regardless of whether he will rebel or not, if the power is not concentrated in his hands, it is a threat.

Shan Zhixian's wish was fulfilled, and she was in good spirits.Today she put on court clothes and was carried up to Fengtian Hall!
In the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, she was the second woman to enter the Fengtian Temple!The first is Zuofu, the second is her!

The only difference is that Zuo Fu is the one who needs to kneel down to her!

This made her extremely proud, her face was abnormally red after being ill for many days, and her eyes were full of pride and provocation when she looked at Zuo Fu.

Zuo Fu was obsessed with the wat board, and she didn't have much feeling for this woman who was about to die.She guessed rightly that it was because she didn't read too much. Her illness was caused by herself.

There is no separation between biochemistry and biochemistry. As a student of biology, she knows that many things can make her slowly "disease and die" without entering the mouth.

She hated herself so much, but she couldn't resist the temptation of various skin care products and perfumes.Sun Xunyu had many people in the inner court who were willing to die for this.

If he dies alone, the family members will be relieved. This is a good deal!Not to mention, if you do it right, maybe you don't have to die.But in the future, she will be able to fight for a position in the palace and never have to be bullied again.

Zuo Fu's expressionless face made Shan Zhixian think she was sulking, so she couldn't help but pouted her lips and said, "Last year, the false emperor of the Tartars was infected with smallpox and died suddenly. It was a good time for the Northern Expedition. But Zhu Aiqing has not discussed it for a long time. What is the reason for the Northern Expedition?"

Son, watch!

See clearly!

What kind of character is Mr. Zuo that you keep talking about!
What is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? !

The rotation system of the first and second assistants seems to be for the sake of the emperor, but after careful study, it can be found that it is to evade the imperial power at all!
This is your dear sir!
She wants to take away your right to be the emperor!

"Back to the Queen Mother..."

Cheng Kegong said unhurriedly: "The matter of the Northern Expedition is cautious. The Tartar puppet emperor died suddenly at the beginning. It is the time for unity between the upper and lower levels. At this time, the Northern Expedition is not good for us. The new puppet emperor is young, and there are several big Tuogu ministers Fighting against each other, we just need to watch from the shore, and it will not be too late to start the Northern Expedition when we are fighting internally."

"What? When do tigers need to worry about the feelings of their prey when hunting? Unity? Even if they are united, so what? In the past, they were the strongest and could not fight the Yangtze River. How can they be afraid of them now? Zuo Aiqing, Could it be that your Zuo Family’s army is no longer capable?”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, there is a saying in the art of war: go to war and plan, and external force can promote the unity of the Qing people, so why should I do such stupid things again?"

"Mr. Ke Zuo."

The Son of Heaven said: "If we continue to delay, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our Ming Dynasty. I think the Northern Expedition is the best time now."

"Your Majesty said yes."

Zuo Fudao: "It's just that the art of war says: soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass. We are waiting for a long-distance attack, and logistics and food are the most important. Therefore, it takes time to prepare food and weapons."

"Can't Zuo Aiqing conjure food and grass?"

Shan Zhixian said in a strange way: "In the past, you led a few thousand people and dared to deal with one hundred thousand Qing troops. What's wrong? Now that you're old, are you losing your courage?"

"Empress Dowager, in the past, I was defending the city. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not to mention, once the battle started, I had to be prepared for a long-distance attack. If the logistics were not prepared enough, how would I fight the battle? Empress Dowager, the late emperor has shown great kindness to his ministers. Like a mountain, the late emperor died and failed to fulfill the wish of the Northern Expedition, and even if I risk my life, I will definitely fulfill the last wish of the late emperor, and I will not delay the opportunity of battle because of timidity, please do not worry."

"Heh, that's not bad."

Shan Zhixian sneered: "The late emperor never forgot to arrange a way out for you, and carried you into the cabinet. This kind of favor even my palace envies!"

This is too off the table.

It's too disrespectful to bring such sour words to the court.

"Speaking of..."

Shan Zhixian continued: "Emperor, Zuo Aiqing, as the teacher of the emperor, standing up and speaking is against the way of a disciple. Why don't you reward Mr. Zuo with a chair, and let her sit in the court from now on. After all, you As my father said, Zuo Yunshu had the kindness to rebuild Daming. Whether it was from the former emperor or from you, the Zuo family has been kind to Daming a lot. If you have to stand up to the court like other ministers, wouldn't you Does it appear that my Zhu Family Emperor is too mean?"
