Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 616
Why is Shu so troublesome?

Because there is a great god here, who is the king of Shu inherited from Zhu Yuanzhang's No. 11 son.

Now the king of Shu is named Zhu Zhishu.According to the original historical development, he was killed by Zhang Xianzhong in the 17th year of Chongzhen, and he has already burped.

However, on this plane, thanks to the butterfly effect, Zhang Xianzhong did not enter Sichuan at all in the 16th year of Chongzhen, but Zuo Liangyu entered Sichuan.

However, according to the historical information provided by Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen adjusted the military equipment of Shu in time, and sent the governor of the three sides Du Yinxi to lead the reinforcements, and directly wiped out Zuo Liangyu who entered Sichuan.

Logically speaking, Zhu Zhishu should be very happy.In fact, however, he was very unhappy.

In order to conquer Zuo Liangyu, Lu Daqi, the new governor of Sichuan at that time, used both soft and hard tactics to get him to pay a sum of military expenses, which made him feel distressed for a while.

If it's just because of this, then it's okay.After all, among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the richest ones are actually the lineage of Shu kings inherited from the founding of the country.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about grain fields and the like. In the 34th year of Wanli, Kong Zhenyi, the governor of Sichuan, reported to the court that Sichuan has always had a saying of fertile fields, and the fertile land of eleven counties in Chengdu Prefecture was occupied by the Shu Palace. Seven out of ten, the military colony accounted for two tenths, and the others only had one tenth of the remaining.

Then, when the court rectifies the place, it will naturally not let him go.

Just like other officials, the land under the name of the king of Shu has a preferential quota.With so many grain fields under his name, many of them are donated, or directly merged with other people's income, so there is no possibility of paying taxes.

Zhu Zhishu suffered a lot from the fact that the imperial court reversed the taxation to determine the land property under the name of the King of Shu.

If this matter was only aimed at him, of course he would not accept it and would make a fuss.

However, this matter was not only aimed at him, it was the same under the Da Ming rule.The nobles in Nanjing, or the feudal lords in other places, none of them can escape.

No matter how reluctant Zhu Zhishu was, under the imperial power, there was nothing he could do. He procrastinated, and finally completed the final local rectification after Ma Shiying arrived in Shu, cutting off a large piece of Zhu Zhishu's flesh.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Zhu Zhishu was in a good mood!

As a result, two days ago, that Ma Shiying actually came to see him again, saying that according to the emperor's order, a new army would be formed in Sichuan, and he needed to donate the expenses.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhishu lost his temper on the spot, uncovered the case, and yelled at Ma Shiying: "There is a lot of money and food in the solitary treasury, and there is only one Chengyun hall. You can dismantle it and sell it to pay for it!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

His meaning is very clear, if you don't want money, if you still want it, you can dismantle the feudal prince's mansion and sell it.

In the original history, when Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan and his troops pointed directly at Chengdu, Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan at that time, once asked Zhu Zhishu for money, and he left this word.In the end, he didn't get anxious until the Chengdu Mansion was about to be breached, but at this time, no one came to collect the money he gave. In the end, the whole family was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, and all the wealth belonged to Zhang Xianzhong.

Emperor Chongzhen had already learned through Liu Weichao that the Shu Palace was rich.

In the original history, when Zhang Xianzhong was attacked by Sichuan Yang Zhan, he fled in panic. It is said that thousands of ships carrying gold, silver and jewelry sank in the end. This is the famous Jiangkou Shenyin in later generations.

Of course, among those wealth, it was not only from the Shu Palace, but also from other places that Zhang Xianzhong plundered.

But it is obvious that most of the wealth plundered from other places has been rewarded in various wars, and only those from the Chengdu Mansion may still be in Zhang Xianzhong's hands.Among them, the Shu Palace must be the big one.

The only physical treasure of the prince in later generations is the treasure of the prince of Shu, which weighs about 16 catties and contains 95% gold, which shows the wealth of the Shu Palace.

Looking at the back of Zhu Zhishu leaving, Ma Shiying raised his voice, and reminded behind him: "Your Highness, three days, otherwise someone else will come to see His Highness, and they may ask for more!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhishu stopped in his footsteps, as if someone had fixed him, and stood there like that.

After a while, he turned around slowly, stared at Ma Shiying with a very ugly face and asked, "Who?"

After hearing this, Ma Shiying didn't answer, but just clasped his fists and arched towards the capital.

Seeing Zhu Zhishu, he didn't ask any more questions. The expression on his face was more uncomfortable than crying.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Ma Shiying's visit could not be under the guise of the emperor's will, it was really following the emperor's will.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhishu had to give it.

However, he had already bleed once, which made his heart cut like a knife for a long time, and now he is really unwilling to cut his heart again!

No, just listen to him muttering to himself: "If you persecute the same clan like this, the Emperor Taizu has a spirit in heaven, so isn't he afraid of committing crimes?"

Zhu Zhishu's voice was a little low, but Ma Shiying's sharp ears could hear him even though he was a little far away.

Therefore, he kindly reminded Zhu Zhishu: "Your Highness, don't you know about the Emperor Taizu's apparition in the Jinluan Palace? If His Majesty's orders are of great importance, they must have been requested from the Emperor Taizu! "

When Zhu Zhishu heard this, his face immediately turned pale, pale, and seemed to be a little unsteady.

Emperor Chengzu raised the feudal princes like pigs, deprived them of all their powers, and even reported to the magistrates when they left the city. All these things caused the feudal princes to keep their ears to the outside world and only cared for themselves in the feudal prince's mansion. have fun.

Why the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty did all kinds of stupid things like pigs is related to this style of work passed down from generation to generation.

Zhu Zhishu was no exception. He didn't worry about the military and political affairs outside the feudal prince's mansion at all. Anyway, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.

However, such a big event as Emperor Taizu's apparition, and the confiscation of the Confucian family in Qufu. Since then, there has been no Confucian family in Qufu. He has heard about such a big event.

However, the Shu Palace is in Chengdu, which is too far away from the capital.When the news reached Chengdu, it had already changed a bit, exaggerated a lot, but it made people sound a little untrue.

That's how people are, they don't care too much about things that are not good for them.And there are often explanations for the incredible things.For example, the apparition of Emperor Taizu in the Golden Luan Hall was actually just a ghost caused by party disputes, how could it be true.

As for the party disputes in the court, for the vassal, there is nothing to care about, because everything in the court has nothing to do with the vassal!
At this time, when he heard Ma Shiying tell him about the apparition of Emperor Taizu in person, Zhu Zhishu's curiosity was aroused even if he didn't believe it, and he asked Ma Shiying, "Emperor Taizu, did there really appear?"

To be honest, he was a little unbelievable.

If Emperor Taizu really had a manifestation, with the care Emperor Taizu had shown his children during his lifetime, it would be absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing to make his descendants lose money, right?
Also, the line of the emperor in the capital now robbed the throne of the prince's line that was set by the Taizu Emperor when he was in power. Would the Taizu be furious if he was innocent?
He was thinking about it, but Ma Shiying answered him with a serious face: "Naturally, the spirit appeared. At that time, there were hundreds of officials gathered in the Jinluan Hall, and they could all be seen with their own eyes. Otherwise, does Your Highness think that all the officials are blind?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhishu was still a bit unconvinced, Ma Shiying continued to explain to him: "If His Highness has the opportunity to come to Beijing for an audience, then in the sachet hanging on His Majesty's chest is the treasure bestowed by Emperor Taizu. .It is through this treasure that His Majesty can contact Emperor Taizu."

"Really?" Zhu Zhishu still didn't believe it. The current emperor was trying to find a way to get his money, and this pretending to be a ghost was just one of the means!
Otherwise, I would also hang a sachet on my chest, and then say that the Emperor Taizu had also manifested himself, that this world is the Zhu family's world, and anyone can get money from anyone, but it is impossible to ask for money from the Zhu family's descendants!

Seeing his expression, Ma Shiying said with a serious face: "Your Majesty's treasure will shine like a luminous pearl, but it is far more than a luminous pearl; there will be various sounds, gods, beasts, and fairy music. And, You can also see that the treasure is connected to another world. The heavens and the earth, the fairy mist, the birds and animals, and even the emperor Taizu, the most holy teacher, etc., all live in it. Your Highness, you say, this can all be fake, So what else is true?"

Zhu Zhishu was dumbfounded when he heard that, if this was the case, then it would be impossible for him to come out in a fake way.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Ma Shiying went on to say to him: "Your Majesty's Gewuxue is also passed down from the fairy world. Otherwise, His Highness thought that a steam train with the power of nine oxen and two tigers is only possible in our human world." Can it be made?"

Steam trains are already relatively common in Daming, at least in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.That is to say, Shu is remote and surrounded by mountains, so there is no railway built here.

No matter how closed Zhu Zhishu was, he had heard about steam trains.At that time, he was very shocked.

Now, after what Ma Shiying said, it seems that this explanation is very reasonable.

In other words, the emperor Taizu really had a manifestation, and the current emperor dared to move these vassals, he must have asked the emperor Taizu for orders.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhishu felt like a knife was piercing his heart: Is it easy to save some money!

But with Emperor Taizu's consent, he didn't dare not give it!

In the end, Zhu Zhishu was really like crying and crying, cutting his flesh!

Ma Shiying was naturally very happy about this.It would be best if it could be solved like this.

When he turned back to the governor's mansion, Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, was waiting here. Seeing him coming back, he asked, "Do you want me to go for a walk?"

In his hands, he has the means to deal with the vassal king, and he is going to take the king of Shu first.
