Chapter 492 The Writer and the Emperor 2
When Puxiang was a writer, he mostly created with the background of the Republic of China, and he also wrote novels with the background of the Wanli period. He knew more about the history of the late Ming Dynasty than most people, so this memory is cheap Today's emperor.

As a writer, it is inevitable that he loves to point out the country and stimulate the writing. The emperors and generals in the past, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were many people who looked down on Emperor Chongzhen, and the real person Puxiang also looked down on Emperor Chongzhen, who died for his country. Jun.

When he was young and frivolous, everyone would inevitably say "Chongzhen is incompetent, if it were me...", as he got older, he slowly admitted that Chongzhen was in a difficult situation, but he still looked down on him.

Being outside the torrent of history, it is natural to dislike that people struggling to survive in the turbulent flow are going in the wrong direction, and the life-saving straw they grasp is too fragile. Puxiang said: "Anyway, I am not Chongzhen, so tell me what's wrong with him?"

He is not Chongzhen, but now he is Chongzhen's elder brother Emperor Tianqi, how much better is the situation he faces than Chongzhen?

The day before, the emperor had made up his mind to change the upcoming sinister fate. On the second day, he counted the current situation of Daming with his fingers, and couldn't help taking a breath: This is a broken pill of Ming Dynasty!He might as well be dead!
The big environment, the Little Ice Age is brewing, and drought, flood, locust plague, and earthquake are beginning to appear. If he can survive the hurdle two years later, he will be able to see with his own eyes the hungry and foodless refugees in a few years everywhere.

The government officials are grateful to his grandfather, Emperor Wanli Shenzong, for the struggle between the old man and his courtiers. His father Guangzong died only a few months after he took the throne. Everyone is good at party battles.

Teacher, the same year, fellow countrymen, in-laws, the intricate relationship forms a big net, no one can escape, no one is not in it.The scourge of party disputes is so fierce that later generations are often unimaginable. For example, the dispute between the eunuch party and Donglin, people often think that everyone in the eunuch party is a traitor, and everyone in Donglin is loyal. The imperial examination was inexplicably assigned to a certain party.

Therefore, there are capable officials in the eunuch party, and there are villains in Donglin. Under the pressure of party struggle, the two sides are fighting to the death and cannot give up.For example, if someone in Donglin takes office in a certain place, and the locality suffers from drought and poor harvests, this person writes to the imperial court to ask for relief, and the eunuchs can pull this person off the horse and delay the relief funds for life and death, and they don't care about the lives of countless people!

Another example is that a certain general of the eunuch party was in the east of Liaodong, and the soldiers lacked cotton coats. If they asked the court to allocate them, Donglin could reject this paper for the sake of party disputes, and made the border soldiers wear old clothes and single clothes, facing the north. Beginning to wreak havoc in October blizzard.

The emperor is the supreme ruler of the world and the ruler of the world, but the emperor's orders cannot go out of the capital. Scholars want an emperor who is like a clay sculpture on the throne and can be manipulated by others, so that they can freely build a Datong society in the eyes of the scholars, but these scholars patronize and demand Others, when it is their turn to be a child, refuse to take a little bit of suffering, refuse to let go of a little bit of benefit, and rot the court for life, how can the emperor bear it?

The emperor needs arms, eyes and ears, so he trusts eunuchs and factory guards, and puts eagles and dogs all over the world to watch over the country for himself.The eagles and dogs that can be released will also cause disasters to the place. Eunuchs and rootless people are the most greedy.

What's more, Jin Yiwei has long been reduced to Dongchang's vassal. Since Shimiao's confidant Wu Huizhong Bo Lubing, there is not a single commander who can do it. Let alone reproduce the ability to rule the world in the past. Explosion, Jin Yiwei, as the emperor's personal guard, couldn't even fulfill his duty as a guard.

When people in Puxiang's time talked about the Jinyiwei, they thought they were so great, but the emperor thought about the Jinyiwei he had seen and shook his head—he couldn't count on them.

Besides the court taxation, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Tai Zu was born in poverty, not very good at economics and business, he blindly suppressed businessmen and despised business, printed precious banknotes indiscriminately, and the currency system and tax system were in a mess.Later, fortunately, there were a few capable chief assistants, who made repairs in the past dynasties, and managed to save some family assets.

By the time of Tianqi, the inner pocket was almost exhausted, and it would be a good year to collect 300 million taels of silver every year. The majestic court only received 300 million taels of silver. Emperor Tianqi might not know it, but Master Puxiang knew it very well. The richest people in the south of the Yangtze River and the wealthy merchants in Jin Dynasty randomly pulled out a family, and there was probably so much money hidden in the cellar of their home!
Some top businessmen can easily scrape together tens of millions of taels of silver, and the imperial court is actually worse than a beggar in front of them.The collusion between officials and businessmen has lost the common people and emptied the national treasury, except for those corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen who have cheated from top to bottom and done all kinds of evil.

The imperial court demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, and the officials were not in a hurry. They didn't believe that Daming would perish in the bottom of their hearts. Is this ship already teetering?

They didn't care even if the Ming Dynasty died, but if the emperor were to change to another dynasty, which dynasty would the emperor not be able to rule the world with scholars?When the time comes, they will change, and they will be the upstarts of the new dynasty. I am afraid that it will be more convenient to pick up money than the current dynasty.

Speaking of this kind of time, if it is among the people, the relatives should come out to help, but how can the relatives of the Tian family be normal relatives?

Since the emperor Tai Zu of the Ming Dynasty has multiplied to the present, there are hundreds of thousands of clans, all of which are not involved in production, imperial examinations, or business, and are all supported by the imperial court.Among the imperial clan, there are very few scholars who are obsessed with mathematics, music theory and literature, and most of them are bastards who use their surname Zhu to run rampant and bully the people in the fief!
The emperor already knew a lot of absurd things about the clan, and learned more from Puxiang's memory, so he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: They're all bastards!

The lineage of King Fu, who is closest to Guangmiao, forged a death feud for the struggle for the country. Unless the descendants of Guangmiao die, they will not be able to turn to the line of King Fu. How could he help the emperor?

The emperor looked around. He was lonely and desolate. The only brother who could be relied on was only 15 years old.

Even if the previous things can be changed slowly, the northern Jurchens are waiting for no one. They are rising rapidly, and their wolfish ambitions cannot be concealed. In a few years, they will swallow this huge empire with hundreds of thousands of people, and then... …

The century-old national humiliation in Puxiang's memory can't be tolerated by a Chinese citizen, not to mention that Emperor Tianqi is the son of heaven. Even if he can accept the change of master, how can he endure "measure the material resources of China and unite the country's favor"?
There is no need to look at the century-old national humiliation. Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he only glanced at it—no matter how obsessed he was with carpentry, he was still an emperor, but no emperor could bear such humiliation.

Now the Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, just like the Titanic that is about to sink, and Emperor Tianqi is the captain.

In history, he died, and Chongzhen became the captain. When the ship sank, Chongzhen followed and died for the country, and he was infamous for countless times, but now he, Zhu Youxiao, does not intend to die. Zhu Youjian is still a teenager. This captain, Or he was reluctant to do it himself.

This world is like a terminally ill patient. He not only suffers from one disease, but more than a dozen diseases all at once.If you treat one, it may make that worse, but if you leave it alone, this person is about to die!
Even if these diseases can be treated with the right medicine, Daming is still an old man, his body has long been decayed, and he would probably fall apart if he moved a little more.

Back then, Wu Zixu's hair turned gray overnight because he couldn't pass the prison. Emperor Tianqi thought about his situation carefully, couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and wished he could also turn gray overnight.

When reading history books, I often laughed at the absurdity of the apocalypse and the ignorance of Chongzhen. When he really became the emperor, Puxiang knew how difficult it is to be an emperor. It's hard to be his writer!
Master Puxiang thought sullenly: I will never speak ill of Chongzhen again, he is really difficult, he is too difficult...

You must know that Emperor Chongzhen was facing a government that was ruined by Tianqi, and the situation would only be worse than him, not better.Pian Chongzhen was raised by the vassal king, and he was born with a literati temperament. How can he play with literati who are all officials?

The road ahead is boundless, one wrong step will slide into the abyss, and because of the huge inertia, Da Ming is inevitably sliding towards the abyss.

Whenever the Emperor Tianqi made any movement, he would either forcefully slow down the speed of its slide, and then be crushed to death by the wheels of history, or he would accidentally speed up the slide, burying this huge empire.

There was no one around in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor kicked out all the eunuchs and palace attendants, fell on the imperial couch and rolled, and hit the wooden couch with his head: "Let me die, I might as well just die!"

If Wei Zhongxian saw this situation, he might think that the emperor was bewitched by evil spirits, and he would have to ask the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors from the Taimiao to suppress it...

With a sharp sword hanging above his head, he would die someday, and his body would be smashed to pieces. Naturally, the emperor couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, and didn't even have any interest in carpentry.

Xi Li came to visit the emperor twice, and their foster mother and child love was scarce, but they just said a few words to deal with it.

It was a strange day, the queen asked to see her, and when the little eunuch passed on the news, the emperor was stunned: "Queen?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "The empress is only afraid that she will come to ask for a posthumous title for the crown prince. The emperor is sad, and is afraid that she doesn't want to see the empress?"

The emperor squinted his eyes, even though there was a mountain of swords and flames in front of him, he was running out of time, and was devastated by a lot of messy things, but when he suddenly heard that the queen was coming, he still became a little interested--God, it's the first time I've seen him as a harem writer. A real harem!
The emperor stopped Wei Zhongxian and said, "Please come in, the queen."

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, the emperor always only loved carpentry and not women, what's going on today... He didn't have time to think, so he quickly invited the queen in.

The part of the emperor's heart that belongs to the real person Puxiang has already started rubbing his hands excitedly: the harem!
