Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Eunuch Cao sent us out of the Bohai Sea, and when we arrived at the sea outside Denglai, he said that Tianjin could support us.

So Eunuch Cao returned to Tianjin by boat, saying that he would take the revolting people with him to relieve some pressure on His Majesty. "

Ling Yiqu's face was full of admiration.

As a civil servant, he naturally looked down on eunuchs without eggs.

However, the strong wind knows the strong grass.

After spending several months with Cao Huachun, I realized that the eunuch I looked down on in the past was actually much better than myself!

He reached into his arms and took out a piece of paper:

"At that time, there were rumors and wild rumors all over the sky, saying that Duke Cao had opened the city gate.

That night, Eunuch Cao got drunk, complained to his ministers, and wrote this. "

Ling Yiqu handed the paper to Zhu Youjian with both hands.

Zhu Youjian unfolded it and saw a poem written on the paper:

“To serve the country with loyalty and disregard for one’s own safety, who is the source of this groundless accusation?

After six years of living in the family, he was still slandered and believed that history was untrue. "

This is a self-evident poem.

This is Cao Huachun's powerful refutation of the slander of literati!

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youjian sighed, put the paper away solemnly, and handed it to Wang Lian himself, asking him to paste it up immediately and hang it on the screen next to the dragon chair.

Ling Yiqu opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, I have stopped at Yantai and other places, and I have also collected some news from Shandong.

Zhao Yingyuan and Zuo Guangxian united some officials in Shandong to form an army and maintain the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

I dare to ask Your Majesty, if you want it in Shandong..."

Ling Yiqu looked at Zhu Youjian with searching eyes.

Shandong is the bridgehead for the advancement of Gyeonggi.

If we can master this place, it will be of great help to regain the capital!

"Not urgent!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand.

He is extending his tentacles into Hunan through Zuo Liangyu.

The disaster in the north will continue for another two to three years.

After more than ten years of drought, China has not yet ushered in a bumper harvest.

In fact, in the next period of time, there will be flooding and freezing at the same time.

Although there is no longer the helpless despair of the previous 20 years, it is not easy either!

At its worst, dozens of counties in Hubei experienced no harvest within a year.

In Shandong, a major grain-producing province, people will also be displaced.

Even until the 22nd or 23rd year of Kangxi (1683/1684), Hainan had rain and snow for two consecutive years.

Although not as severe as the one in the ninth year of Chongzhen's reign, "there was a three-day snowstorm in Hainan, with nine feet of snow on the roofs, crushing countless houses, and all the trees on the island freezing to death."

However, these records also reflect the abnormal solar terms in China.

The capital will naturally be recovered.

However, how to collect it and how to stabilize people's hearts after collecting it are what Zhu Youjian needs to consider.

In his opinion, getting food first and getting enough food are the prerequisites for entering the army.

This means that Zhu Youjian must first expand his territory to the south.

The best thing is to take over Guangdong and Guangxi before recovering the north.

Zhu Youjian slightly revealed some of his plans to Ling Yiqu, and then said:

"We haven't contacted Qin Liangyu for a long time. Can the Qing family teach me?"

When the emperor mentioned Sichuan, Ling Yiqu understood.

The emperor wanted to take advantage of this chaos to completely reorganize the country!

“Your Majesty, please order me to go to Sichuan!

The chaos in Sichuan has been going on for a long time, and the imperial court has been cut off. What is going on in Sichuan? The imperial court is completely blind. "

Ling Yiqu said seriously:

"I am willing to go to central Sichuan and preside over the affairs of central Sichuan for Your Majesty!"

Ling Yiqu's proposal was not a temporary one.

The emperor appointed Qin Liangyu as the commander-in-chief of the Central Sichuan Suppression Campaign to take charge of the Sichuan-wide encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong. He learned about it when he was with Zheng Hongkui.

Qin Liangyu is a general or a female general after all.

Even though Qin Liangyu is very powerful, in the officialdom, Qin Liangyu cannot control Sichuan affairs!

Even if the emperor appoints Qin Liangyu as the chief of the Suppression Bureau, taking charge of affairs in central Sichuan, he still cannot control the officialdom!

Ling Yiqu naturally understands His Majesty's concerns.

Sichuan has been in chaos for a long time. Apart from Qin Liangyu, there is no one who can take charge of the overall situation.

As long as he can enter Sichuan.

Even if he stood in front of Qin Liangyu and said nothing, he could really put up Qin Liangyu's frame of suppressing the boss!

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"That's okay, but before that, you need to take Enke's responsibility first!"

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly:

"The court system is not uniform, and ministers hold multiple positions. I am really busy!"

Ling Yiqu responded with a smile.

Enko will start the day after tomorrow.

It only takes about half a month, don’t rush!

……

It's getting late.

Tonight, the palace finally gained some popularity.

Zhu Youjian ordered a family banquet to be held for the queen and her entourage.

Although Empress Zhang and Concubine Yuan were missing, this was the happiest banquet for the royal family since the capital was besieged.

Especially the little princess Zhu Yini.

She happily walked around the queen and others, describing to them the highlights of their trip, and then pulling the prince to talk non-stop.

A face that had just gained some flesh was filled with an innocent smile.

When Zhu Youjian came in, the dishes were already served.

"I, my concubine, are waiting to see your Majesty!"

Empress Zhou, along with Concubine Liu, Concubine Shen, Concubine Fang and the two concubines surnamed Wang, all bowed down and saluted.

Prince Zhu Cixi also brought his two sisters and said in unison:

"My son, please see your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Youjian sat down on the main seat with a smile.

He picked up the chopsticks and greeted:

"Don't worry, let's eat first, and then we can talk about old times after eating!"

Zhu Youjian is not Chongzhen. He believes in one sentence - increasing revenue is far more important than reducing expenditure!

Not to mention not eating meat, even if you pierce your neck and not eat, how much money can you save?

Instead of having this energy, it would be better to come up with a way to make money that would be more useful!

Not to mention anything else, just like what he did on the way to escape, force the city to pay...

Which county official doesn't have a net worth of hundreds of thousands?

Chongzhen has so many good Jinyiwei players.

Pick out some elites, pretend to be masked thieves, and just go to the officials' homes to rob them!

Then Li Zicheng was able to get tens of millions of silver. It was not easy for him to get millions of silver in a small way!

Lao Fang is still thinking about going to Jiangnan and spending a few more "Qian Qianyi"!

It's so easy to make money by being a thief in a gentleman's house!

Why does Mao have to live a miserable life by himself?

……

After the dinner, Zhu Youjian looked at the peach-faced Queen Zhou, and looked at the eyes that almost overflowed with water. Zhu Youjian's heart suddenly became hot.

He hurriedly waved goodbye to everyone.

Although the palace is still very simple, several small courtyards have been built first.

Zhu Youjian took Queen Zhou's hand and walked towards the queen's courtyard.

"Your Majesty, you have lost weight!"

Mrs. Zhou wished she could lean on Zhu Youjian's arms, her breathing already filled with tears.

His soft body leaned on Zhu Youjian's arm, wishing that all the thoughts he had since parting could be turned into tenderness around his fingers.
