These years of being the queen mother!

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang burped his fart, Lu Zhi supported his young son to ascend to the throne. This kind of thing also happened when he was besieged by the Huns, but the Huns were too powerful at that time. He had to politely refuse, and fooled the marriage proposal on the grounds that he was old and decrepit and not worthy of the King of the Huns.

Empress Dowager Yang was naturally angry when she was angry, but that anger quickly disappeared after seeing the civil and military reactions of Manchao.Empress Dowager Yang knew it was impossible to beat her, but if she was to refuse politely like Lu Zhi, Empress Dowager Yang would not be able to do so, so she simply asked Shi Shoufu, a literary and elegant man, to write a fierce and vicious reply letter, which would make her angry to death. Huang Taiji is the best, if you can't die of anger, but vomit blood with anger, Empress Dowager Yang believes that the Liaodong soldiers headed by Mingda are sharpening their swords and waiting for the Tartar soldiers to fight up!

Hmph, you lured me, Da Ming, to take the initiative, and there are traps waiting, why can't I, Da Ming, set a trap and wait for you to come to your door? The so-called reciprocity is like this...

As for whether Huang Taiji will be angry, it is obvious. You must know that in terms of China's 5000-year culture, the most poisonous people are scholars, except for barbarians who do not understand human relations and etiquette.The mouth of a scholar, sometimes it really kills people!

No, Shi Shoufu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Empress Dowager Yang, and he only stayed up all night to write an article with gorgeous words, without a single dirty word, but it made all the people who read it bloody and flushed, and just wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight the perpetrator desperately reply.

After Shi Shoufu finished writing, he shook his head and sighed for his good literary talent, and then he went into the palace to face the saint with a big belly, like a generous warrior.

"Very well, the Ai family knows that Shi Aiqing will live up to the Ai family's trust!"

Empress Dowager Yang smiled in satisfaction, and secretly began to look forward to the reaction of Huang Taiji, a shameless uncle, when he received the reply, whether he was vomiting blood with anger, or vomiting blood with anger!

Huang Taiji has just turned forty now, and he is a round older than Empress Dowager Yang, who became a widow at the age of 20, and indeed deserves the title of uncle.But Empress Dowager Yang guessed one thing wrong, that is, Huang Taiji did not vomit blood at all when he received the ironic reply, but laughed out loud...

"This Empress Dowager Cixi is too strong-tempered."

Well, hearing what Huang Taiji said, he compared himself to Maodun Shanyu, the king of the Xiongnu at that time, and wrote a letter of proposal similar to that written by Maodun Shanyu to Lu Zhi. I thought Empress Dowager Yang would learn most Empress Lu declined so politely, but she never thought that after Empress Dowager Yang was furious, she did not say to fight against each other, but replied a letter with no curse words in the whole text, but every sentence was cursed.Huang Taiji, who was ridiculed and called inferior to animals, couldn't help being amazed at the demeanor of the writer!

Is Huang Taiji angry?It must be angry, but not to the point of vomiting blood.After all, Huang Taiji is a hero of a generation, and his vision is naturally different from that of ordinary people. At least in the eyes of a generation of dog-legged Fan Wenchen, Huang Taiji is so a role model for a wise monarch!

"Cixi was originally an imperial concubine, and because of her courage and courage, she can't compare with Empress Lu who has gone through wind and rain and helped her youngest son ascend to a high position in the eyes of all the vassal kings." Fan Wenchen said respectfully, although the words were tactful, but that The contempt was still obvious, at least Huang Taiji understood it.

"Mr. Yang can't be Empress Lu, but she shouldn't be underestimated." Huang Taiji said with a sneer when he threw the letter in his hand into the brazier, and red flames erupted. "Since you won't be fooled, then take the initiative to attack. Baqierlang is not afraid of death, so how can a mere Ming frontier army be able to resist it?"

When Fan Wenchen tried his best to comply, Huang Taiji suddenly asked again: "How did I ask you to contact the high-level rebel army?"

"Thanks to Master Hong Fu, the high-level rebels have already been bribed. Given time, they will become the sharpest knife in Master's hands, ruthlessly gnawing a piece of meat for Master."

"It's so good." Huang Taiji suddenly laughed. "I heard that Mrs. Yang is stunning, otherwise she would not be held in the hands of Tianqi children. When I watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I was very interested in the Tongque Terrace repaired by Cao Cao. After taking the capital, how about repairing a Tongque Terrace as Yang's future residence."

This……

Fan Wenchen's eyelids twitched, but he said flatteringly: "Master is kind, and when the time comes, Mrs. Yang will be grateful for Master's kindness."

What a shameless pair of master and servant!

It is still a question mark whether it is possible to attack Shanhaiguan, and that is when Yi~yan captured the capital and raised Yang Lingyue like a canary.Not to mention whether there will be such a day, even if there is such a day, Yang Lingyue would rather learn from Emperor Chongzhen and hang himself on the coal mountain than become a meat ban...

Not to mention Huang Taiji's ambition to destroy Daming, and to imprison the empress dowager of a country.On the part of the capital, because of the follow-up of the letter of proposal, the catastrophic downfall gradually returned to calm.

In the fourth year of Taichang, except for the famine that broke out in the Yansui area, which still required large-scale relief from the government, the only two earthquakes in Huguang, Wuling and Lizhou were quite worrying.Of course, in terms of the current national strength of Ming Dynasty, it is not too difficult to deal with the follow-up caused by these natural disasters, so compared to the whole country, it can be regarded as a year of smooth weather.

Not long after Sun Yuanhua rushed to Liaodong, he was recommended by Mingda to be the governor of Denglai.At the same time, Xu Guangqi spent a lot of energy and financial resources planning to recruit 300 Western soldiers and was on his way to Beijing.Most of these [-] western soldiers are Portuguese, and a few are Spanish. Most of them are retired from the government navy and are familiar with artillery operations.

After a group of Western soldiers called Hongmaoyi arrived at the capital, Empress Dowager Yang led the little emperor Zhu Cilin to receive them in Xiyuan.After Xu Guangqi's simple communication with these Western soldiers, Empress Dowager Yang made a final decision, and all of them were transferred to Denglai to serve in the hands of Sun Yuanhua.With the addition of these Western soldiers who are proficient in artillery, Daming Firearms has opened a new chapter. Empress Dowager Yang believes that with the full cooperation of her and the little emperor Zhu Cilin, the Daming in this time and space will definitely not be like the Daming in history, with more and more artillery. In the end, there were hundreds of red-clothed cannons on Houjin's side, while Daming's side shrank to a dozen or so.

The four years in Taichang were relatively peaceful, but after five years in Taichang, troubles of all sizes came one after another, making the Empress Dowager Yang, who was listening behind the curtain, and the officials of the central court all very busy.

The so-called good fortune never comes singly, and misfortunes never come singly. When the officials of Ming Dynasty worked together to deal with government affairs, the news that the Yellow River broke through Mengjin made Empress Dowager Yang smash the leading inkstone on the desk on the spot!

"Last year, the Ai family ordered the officials of the capital censor to inspect the riverbed, and the capital censor replied that there was no blockage at the ports along the river. But now, the Yellow River burst, and you told the Ai family that it was due to disrepair. It's really sad. The family is getting old, and I forgot that the imperial censor inspected the riverbed last year and failed!"

"Ma'am, please calm down." Shi Shoufu cupped his hands and said, "It's useless to blame the imperial censor for his negligence. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the Yellow River breach. The Yellow River's water is raging. Once it breaches, it will definitely cause countless deaths and injuries to the military, civilians and merchants."

"What Yi Shiqing means is to let the people in Mengjin move out and resettle first!"

Shi Shoufu's chubby face was solemn. "The people migrated and begged for food everywhere. If this continues, there is no way out. They gather and rebel. Therefore, it is not advisable to relocate people. We can only choose a suitable place near the breach and rebuild the villager stronghold."

"The Ai family understands what you mean. This matter should be presided over by the officials of the Ministry of Accounting and the Ministry of Officials." After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Yang glanced at the ministers of the Ministry of Accounting and the Ministry of Officials who were in charge, and suddenly sneered.

Empress Dowager Yang continued: "Usually, Aijia doesn't mind your selfishness, because everyone has selfishness including Aijia, but at this time, you'd better not have any selfishness, and explain the things that Aijia explained one by one. Do it well, otherwise the empty Zhao Prison at Jinyiwei will be waiting for you to move in!"

Compared with Zhu Youxiao (including the historical Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian) who is good-faced, rules-based, and will not attack officials unless it is absolutely necessary, Yang Lingyue, the queen mother who listens to politics behind the curtain, is not very disciplined, which irritates her very much. But it will be messy.Killing people without ransacking their homes is something a fool would do. Empress Dowager Yang, who believed in the carrot and stick policy, felt that killing people and ransacking their homes would be truly stunning! It not only enriched the treasury, but also had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Empress Dowager Yang believes that as long as she says she is short of money, these guys who usually value money more than their lives will donate part of it no matter how reluctant they are, so that it will not be like in history. Chao Wenwu still gritted his teeth and said that he had no money. As a result, Chongzhen was forced to hang himself on Meishan, and a group of "iron roosters" who cried poor were also flying wildly under the sticks of the rebel army, roasting and picking tendons, gouging eyes and cutting intestines and other torture "love" 'Next, hand over amazing wealth.

Empress Dowager Yang felt that it was necessary to adopt a carrot-and-stick policy in order to prevent her group of goods from turning into strange goods that only value money and don't care about life, and have no humanity or morality. After all, dealing with them is blindly lenient Benevolence is not enough, nor is blind suppression. The only way to control the balance is to prevent one family from dominating.

To put it bluntly, the cabinet members are now divided into three factions. Among them, Shi Fenglai, the chief assistant, was supported by Wei Zhongxian who had retired from the court and hid behind the scenes.As for Xu Guangqi, the second assistant, he is regarded as a clear stream, forming a line of his own!As for Cifu Lai Zongdao, it can be regarded as Donglin Party and other parties.

The three factions restrict each other and suppress each other. No one faction dominates. On the contrary, the atmosphere of the court is much better than that when Chongzhen was in power in history. The orders given by the Empress Dowager, who listened to the government behind the curtain, are not violated by others.

Of course, this difference is due to the ability of each person.Some people have mediocre abilities, so they naturally accomplish mediocre tasks, and some people have good abilities, so they naturally complete tasks well.It's like Shi Fenglai who has been sitting firmly in the position of chief assistant. In terms of ability, except for his literary talent and smooth personality, his ability is actually very mediocre. At least compared to the celebrity Zhang Juzheng, Shi Fenglai is really mediocre.
