It's easy to answer the question of how many people there are in Ming Dynasty, as long as you answer a few million, you will be fine.

As for how wide the Ming Dynasty's territory is, I don't say that I can draw a map of the territory immediately, but it is not a problem to recite the names of all the chief envoys.

But what about the third generation?

How vast the land is, this can be regarded as a number, but how much do the people have?million?Ten million?

The records in ancient times are full of conjectures, which one shall prevail?

However, Emperor Chongzhen obviously did not intend to let Liu Zongzhou go: "The rule of the three generations is always the rule, or else it is the law of Yao and Shun. I can bring the law of Yao and Shun, but do you dare to compare yourself and be good at judging?"

Fanghui and Shanjuan were two people, and Liu Zongzhou also knew about it. Zhuang Zhou said that Yao once went to Gushe Mountain on the north bank of Fenshui River to pay homage to four famous people with Taoism. He felt lost, as if he had lost the world.The four famous Taoists are Fanghui, Shanjuan, Piyi and Xuyou.

Shan Juan values ​​righteousness over profit, is not greedy for wealth, is a famous sage; Fang Hui is a fairy-like figure, the emperor asked himself if these ministers could compare with these two?

Without waiting for Liu Zongzhou's answer, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "As the saying goes, times have changed, and thousands of years have passed by, so is it possible that we still have to guard the handicap for three generations?

Aiqing is also a well-learned person, and his proficiency in learning is far beyond my comparability.Aiqing must know the truth that although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger.

Now that Ming Dynasty is fighting everywhere, who will guard the border?Who will protect the people of Ming Dynasty?Without these bloody soldiers, where would Ai Qing go to study?Could it be that like Yuan Haowen, he persuaded a barbarian Hulu to be a great master of Confucianism? "

The more Emperor Chongzhen spoke, the angrier he became.

These scholars in the late Ming Dynasty were not much better than Yuan Haowen and his ilk, and they were all bastards to rotten fish and rotten shrimp.

Not to mention the Northern Sect of the Kong family's persuasion, anyway, everyone in this family is used to kneeling, and they have had this virtue since the time of the puppet Yuan Dynasty.

But what about that bastard Sun Zhixie?

Eguanbo belt is the ugliness of a subjugated country, and the nonsense that the money rat tail is the elegant government of the new dynasty was first yelled by this person, which really shamed the Chongzhen Emperor, who was also from Shandong before he crossed over.

Then compare Dai Fa's allegiance on the 6th day, representing the people of the seventeen dynasties of Taizu. 20 people died with one heart and one mind, and there were more than 53 people died in Jiangyin, where there are three hundred miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. In the end, only [-] people were left.

Liu Zongzhou was so ashamed by Emperor Chongzhen's words that he simply covered his face with his sleeves.

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly and continued: "Wang Zongguang, this name is nothing special, but I remember him.

When he was marching north to the grasslands, he was a recruit who had just joined the army for a few months. He vomited badly the first time he killed a tartar, and he was always an honest guy with a silly smile.

It was such a person who personally killed not one hundred Tartars on the grasslands, but eighty, with more than ten wounds, and the general flag was raised for his meritorious service. "

Wang Zongguang never thought that Emperor Chongzhen would still remember him, and he was even more excited when he heard this.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This kind of man kills people on the grassland without blinking an eye, but he is willing to kneel down in front of your mere third-rank Shuntian Fu Yin?

Wang Xing's fault was only hanging?I tell you, there will be no such thing in the future!

He shed blood to protect Daming, I will never let him shed tears again! "

Chapter 273 Turning the Table

Emperor Chongzhen had a gloomy face, and every word he said hit the hearts of those present like Wanjun's sledgehammer.

The tears in Wang Zongguang's eyes could no longer be stopped, not only for the death of his wife, not only for Emperor Chongzhen to remember himself, but also for Emperor Chongzhen's sentence that the soldiers should not bleed and cry.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't intend to let Liu Zongzhou or these literati who were chasing after three generations all day long, but continued: "People's hearts are always fleshy, right? Even a stone will get hot when you hold it in your arms?

But what about the soldiers?Fighting bloody battles on the front line, let you have a stable environment to study, scold the streets, discuss government affairs, and slander the king, but how do you repay these soldiers?

Call them martial arts, look down on them, and treat them like prisoners in the former Song Dynasty, and tattoo their faces.

Whenever you fail to win a foreign war, it is said that it is the responsibility of the generals and soldiers, but why don't you think about it, why do you ask the soldiers to fight for a person who can't even give the most basic respect? "

Let alone Liu Zongzhou at this time, even Wen Tiren covered his face with his sleeves - Emperor Chongzhen's words were too harsh.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the actions of Wen Tiren and Liu Zongzhou, and just continued: "The dynasties are always destroyed by the weak, and the Han Dynasty is destroyed by the strong. Even after three points, Cao Cao was able to chase Wuhuan to the north. The reason is that you really don't know. ?

I'm afraid it's not that you don't know, but pretending not to know?The status of generals has risen, and you feel that the power in your hands will become less and less elegant, and there are also traitors and sycophants in the court, which is not in line with the scene you are looking forward to. "

Warriors such as Zhang Zhiji and Wang Zongguang were already staring at Liu Zongzhou viciously at this time, as long as Emperor Chongzhen gave an order, Liu Zongzhou would be dead in the hall.

But Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Liu Zongzhou, originally I saw that you had written a letter to discuss the scourge of party disputes. I thought you were a sensible person, but I never thought that you were just full of thoughts about what to do with Yao and Shun, and you are full of enthusiasm." Although it is there, it is used in the wrong place!

That's all, since you are begging for bones, then you should be an official. From now on, you should study and learn, and don't be an official anymore. "

Liu Zongzhou smiled miserably, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

After Liu Zongzhou withdrew, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Wang Cheng'en, draw up an imperial edict. From then on, the guards and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not worship civilian officials except for military etiquette!

Whenever there is a case involving the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's guards in service, the law of the Ming Dynasty is not used and the law of the army is followed.This order is the same for Jinyiwei and East and West Anti-Corruption Factory. "

Wen Tiren was in a hurry when he heard the words.

Emperor Chongzhen made it clear that he wanted to completely separate the military from the government, and that he wanted to elevate the status of the warriors to check and balance civil servants.

This is no longer just a matter of which side the Emperor Chongzhen is leaning towards - in fact, the Emperor Chongzhen has always been leaning towards the line of military generals Xungui, this is an obvious thing.

No one can expect that an emperor who always likes to lead troops to fight will turn to civil servants.

But Emperor Chongzhen's way of doing this really touched the bottom line of all civil servants. Even if he shamelessly agreed, what about waiting until tomorrow's court meeting?How many people will choose to become an official?

In fact, Wen Tiren cared more about his own life than damage to the civil servant's interests.

If it's just being scolded as a traitor by other officials, Wen Tiren can fully express that I don't care.

But if Emperor Chongzhen is like the first emperor...

At the very least, I will definitely be unlucky.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, who can expect that the next emperor who ascends the throne will treat him like the current Emperor Chongzhen?

Not to mention anything else, just the criticism from other ministers in the DPRK can kill all of my family!

After deliberating for a while, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, how can the guardsmen be independent from the Law of the Ming Dynasty? I think it's better to amend the clauses in the Law of the Ming Dynasty, strengthen the protection of the soldiers' relatives and individuals, and grant certain There are some privileges."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what Wen Tiren was thinking, so he snorted coldly and said: "Why, Wen Aiqing thinks something is wrong?"

Wen Tiren had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, please be alone."

Not only Wen Tiren reacted, but even Zhu Chunchen, who had just been ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, also reacted.

Although Zhu Chunchen said that he was quite critical of the fact that Emperor Chongzhen never reused him, but no matter what, he was considered a noble family, and his interests and civil servants were never on the same line.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen is so deadly, Zhu Chunchen is also in a hurry-if the emperor says nothing like Zhengde and the first emperor, he will be gone, and the next emperor may completely fall into the line of civil servants.

After all, there are few emperors in history who turned their faces faster than turning over books like Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Chunchen also cupped his hands at the moment and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zou, please join me in playing the duet with Elder Wen Ge."
