Chapter 913 Carpenter Emperor Emperor 168

Seeing Xie Bi'an again, Lin Xi found that Xie Bi'an's attitude was more respectful.

"Congratulations, Master."

Lin Xi smiled and returned the gift to Xie Bi'an, seeing Xie Bi'an sweep away the anger and helplessness before he came to Daming, and asked involuntarily:

"Emperor Chongzhen left the reception department?"

Xie Bi'an replied with a smile: "No, but he stopped making trouble. He also let others go. Just wait to meet the Venerable Master and say a few more words before being reincarnated."

"What happened to make him change so much?"

Lin Xi could remember that Emperor Chongzhen stopped the courtiers who died behind him in front of the City of Death, jumping and cursing.

"Ever since you led the army to Liaodong in Daming and finished the first battle with the Jurchen outside Liaoyang City, he has been quiet."

The two were talking and soon arrived at the reception department.Those who surrounded the reception department and wanted to continue their allegiance to Chongzhen were all persuaded by Chongzhen to leave by saying that they would also be reincarnated.Those ministers who later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty also went to the underworld to liquidate their merits under his contempt.

well!Through the ages, there is only one death.

In the guide department of the underworld, new ghosts crowded together, signed in quietly, and then were led to various places by ghost messengers.Occasionally, the new ghosts who were squeezed out also desperately squeezed back into the ghost pile, trying to avoid this dead ghost emperor surrounded by purple aura.

So around Chongzhen, a large piece of airspace was formed.

Lin Xi looked at those new ghosts who were about to be squeezed into pieces of paper, and looked around Chongzhen's body, the emperor is different from ordinary people when he is a ghost.

"My lord."

Chongzhen rushed over to salute from a distance.The hair that had been hanging loose was also tied up, and the whole person looked gentle and polite, no longer hysterical or crazy.

"Goro." Lin Xi blurted out the customary address to Zhu Youjian, who was dozens of years younger.

Chongzhen's eye circles immediately turned red, he immediately choked up, and bowed again to salute, his voice full of sincere thanks: "Wu Lang thanked the emperor for taking care of him for many years."

Lin Xi quickly returned the gift.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm used to being called Goro."

Chongzhen red-eyed and asked, "Can the Venerable Master talk to me like an imperial brother?"

Lin Xi nodded, and turned into Zhu Youxiao's appearance.Xie Bi'an and the ghost messengers hid aside, curled their lips in secret, he looks like he hasn't grown up yet, why did he become emperor for ten or twenty years? !

Chongzhen gave another salute, "Master, it was Wulang who wrongly blamed the emperor. I remember what the master said through the emperor. It is because the father did not fulfill his responsibility. It is because the grandfather is absurd. He has not been in court for decades and has become corrupted." The foundation of Ming Dynasty. And, and..."

Chongzhen couldn't go on.

After pausing for a while, he continued: "I don't blame the emperor. It is God who is about to destroy Daming. The Yellow River and the Huaihe River flood every year, and the earthquakes continue. The emperor has exhausted his strength. I shouldn't blame the emperor. brother."

Only then did Lin Xi understand why Chongzhen wanted to transform himself into the appearance of Zhu Youxiao.

——So it was to apologize to his own brother.

"My lord, when my brother was in power, he already worked very hard. He was better than me, and he didn't abandon the government to work as a carpenter as rumored in later generations. Those historical records made him ugly. Father is in favor, Li Xuan is domineering, he... only Ke Shi has been taking care of him—"

Zhu Youjian regretted killing Wei Zhongxian a long time ago.He didn't know what to say about Wei Zhongxian, Ke Shi and his brother, so he thought it's better to keep his mouth shut.Because Master Lin Xi changed too many things in Daming that he thought could not be changed.

Kissing is the first one.It turns out that kissing is also the bane of Daming.

Millions of silver or even more are wasted by them every year. It turns out that it is unnecessary and completely unnecessary.

Seeing that Master Lin Xi cut off the support of the imperial court for those clans, didn't many people in the clan work hard?Isn't it better than leading the meager Lumi given by the court?

There are also those eunuchs who entered the palace with the purpose of "being close to the emperor and raising relatives", under Master Lin Xi's strict "ban on eunuchs", they worked hard in the villages, and they were able to support their parents.

The most important thing is that there are no eunuchs in the inner court.

Why didn't I have such awareness at that time?

Even if one hundred thousand eunuchs were kept in the palace, even if they formed the Jing Army, they would still be useless soldiers, and became one of the straws that crushed the Ming Dynasty.

Also, Master Lin Xi has always treated the only remaining members of the royal family, King Rui, King Hui, and King Lu, as county kings.But the treatment of himself, before leaving the palace, has been treated the same as that of Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cijiong.After leaving the palace, he was also treated as a prince, and finally his son Zhu Cihong was treated as a county king like King Rui.

It has decreased from generation to generation, including the sons of Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cijiong, and only the eldest son is the son of the county king.The relationship with the imperial family, you can lead the army after the fifth server.Brother Zhu Cixuan, like himself, can take on a position commensurate with his ability in the court.

This is why Chongzhen wanted to thank Lin Xi from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord, thank you very much. Brother Huang left me in Beijing and I don't need to be a vassal, but every time I think about spending my whole life in the same way as those vassal kings, I feel that my life is in vain. But I have nothing. Yes, I took over the emperor, but I can't be the emperor. But looking at the things the master arranged for me to leave, those are the things I can do and do well. Thank you, the master."

"Goro doesn't need to be too polite. You also did things on your own in those years."

Facing the sincerely grateful Emperor Chongzhen, Lin Xi politely returned the salute and praised him.

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, "I should listen to the emperor's brother, I shouldn't kill Wei Zhongxian so quickly, and the servants should also trust the people left by the emperor's brother. The last thing I should do is to believe in the counter-intrigue of Jiannu and kill Yuan Chonghuan to vent my personal anger. The capital was besieged, and the commander-in-chief of the troops from all over the country refused to go to King Qin of Jing to rescue him."

Chongzhen covered his face and began to cry.

"Actually, you should go to Liudu. Liudu is complete with six parts, and with the emperor here, it can be put into operation immediately, calling on the soldiers and civilians of Ming Dynasty to resist the Jurchens like driving out the Mongols."

Lin Xi looked at Chongzhen who was weeping with his familiar Goro appearance, and could only point out that he still had a choice and a chance to come back.

"When you go to Liudu, you get rid of the rotten Liaodong and the Yellow River □□ to the irretrievable Henan, Jiangsu and other places, there are only 10,000+ Jurchens, and the population of Ming Dynasty is tens of thousands, and you have seen Jurchens and bandits cruel Daming The common people will follow you to resist them."

Chongzhen took off his hand, lowered his head and said: "I thought about staying in the capital later, and I also proposed at the court meeting to discuss the feasibility of staying in the capital with the courtiers. But Fan Jingwen persuaded me not to leave, but to stick to it and wait for help. I hesitated for a long time, and finally I was worried that it would be recorded in the annals that I lost the capital and abandoned the people to escape..."

"But you finally perished in the Ming Dynasty. It's not in the annals of history. Wouldn't it be even uglier?"

Chongzhen was silent for a long time before answering: "I thought there would be someone like Yuan Chonghuan."

Lin Xi shook her head.

"Yuan Chonghuan came back to help the king, no matter what his fault was, you sent him to Ling Chi, how could someone come to rescue you later?"

But she really didn't want to talk to Chongzhen about Ming's death anymore, she had never been so tired in her whole life.

"Things are in the past. The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. After losing, you will find that no matter what mistake it is, it is the key to restoring the overall situation.

If you are dissatisfied, you can discuss with the local government whether you can start over. "

Chongzhen immediately looked at Xie Bi'an with hope.Xie Bi'an said: "Your Majesty, you have to pay the Venerable Master first. Then we will see if your merit is enough to start over."

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, stared at Lin Xi and asked, "If I start from scratch, is there any possibility of success? Can I do what the Venerable Master does?"

"After Yuan Chonghuan's incident, which important minister can you trust?"

"I, I should believe in Han Yu. There are also Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, Li Banghua, the Yushi of the Zuodu, Shi Bangzhao, the Yushi of the Deputy Capital, Ling Yiqu, the Minister of Dali Temple, Wang Jiayan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment. , Zuo Yude Ma Shiqi, Zuo Zhongyun Liu Lishun, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Wu Linzheng, Zuo Shuzi Zhou Fengxiang, reviewing Wang Wei, the Ministry of Household Affairs Wu Ganlai, Yushi Wangzhang, Yushi Chen Liangmo, Chen Chunde, Zhao Yi, Taipusi Cheng Shen Jiayun, Wai Xu Zhi, member of the Ministry of Officials, Lang Zhongchengde of the Ministry of War, Jin Xuan Wai, member of the Ministry of War, Yu Tengjiao, Cheng Yu of Guanglu Temple, Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, Wenyao, the governor of the left, Gong Yonggu, the son-in-law, and Princess Le'an.

Huian Bo Zhang Qingzhen, Xuancheng Bowei Shichun, Jinyiwei Commander Wang Guoxing, Jinyiwei Commander Li Ruogui, Jinyiwei Qianhu Gao Wencai, Shuntian Governor Chen Zhenda, Deputy Masi Yao Cheng, Zhongshusheren Song Tianxian, Teng Zhisuo, Ruan Wengui experienced Zhang Yingxuan, Yang Hewei experienced Mao Wei, Zhang Rushi, Zhang Shixi and so on. "

Lin Xi heard that Chongzhen had recited such a long list of people who followed him to death, and understood that Chongzhen hadn't figured out what was wrong with him.

He reminded: "Did you not trust Ni Yuanlu? Don't you trust Li Banghua?"

Seeing that Chongzhen was stunned, she continued: "Just because Han Yu was Yuan Chonghuan's teacher when he was a Jinshi, you believed other censors' impeachment against him. But Han Yu has been a cabinet minister for decades, and he is the most dedicated. It was planned for the imperial court. You believe in Ni Yuanlu, but if you trust him and those important and loyal ministers who died with you, can you save Ming Dynasty from its decline?"

Ni Yuanlu and the others obviously don't have that ability.

"Then why did the Master ask Ye Xianggao to persuade Liu Yixiu and Han Yu to quit?"

"The two of them are honest and honest, and I am impatient to bother with them. On the contrary, Zhou Yanru is smart enough to carefully figure out my intentions, and he can succeed Ye Xianggao."

Chongzhen was stunned with his mouth half open, and then said bitterly: "Zhou Yanru is a villain."

"A villain has the usage of a villain, and a gentleman has a usage of a gentleman. Zhou Jiamo and Huang Kezuan are gentlemen, and Zhang Wenda and others are also gentlemen. When gentlemen are everywhere, things may not be successful.

Your elder brother was an example at that time.Aren't all gentlemen run away by Wei Zhongxian?

But you saw that I used the villain you mentioned Zhou Yanru as the first assistant, and it didn't hurt that Chao Gang missed the matter. "

Chongzhen was still puzzled.

Lin Xi had no choice but to continue explaining to him.

"I have my own understanding of Daming. I only need a chief assistant and cabinet minister like Ye Xianggao who can understand my thoughts, keep up with my steps, and do things according to my ideas. But what you need is a strong The first assistant, I will take care of everything for you, and the most important thing is to be able to do it.

What you need is actually a chief assistant like Zhang Taiyue. "

Chongzhen didn't know whether he was so angry or blushed with shame, "Why did the Venerable Master say that?"

"Oh, Goro, I'm doing it for your own good. You didn't realize the root cause of Daming's demise. It was the people's support! It was Daming who lost the support of the people. Otherwise, why wouldn't those soldiers stand up and resist the intruders without food and pay? And those Xungui, you have borrowed all of them, but you just want to pay the soldiers guarding the capital and refuse to do so?"

Chongzhen clenched his fists tightly. He borrowed all the nobles, but he still couldn't make up the food and wages of the guarding soldiers.The most abominable thing about Zhou Kui, the patriarch of the state, is that he received 5000 taels of silver from the sale of gold and silver jewelry by the queen.

But after the fall of the capital, those who were whipped by the thieves almost died, but instead handed over 300 million hidden silver and all their property.

I named him Jiading Bo, because the queen shared weal and woe with him and loved him deeply, and he treated him with such a face.It's really respectful that he didn't get good; instead, he helped him with all his money.

bitch!

Chongzhen clenched his fists in hatred.

Zhou Hou originally thought that Jiadingbo could lead the nobles and courtiers well, but the result was just the opposite.If Jia Dingbo is in front of him, he must deal with him severely again.

A good salary subsidy plan, as long as the capital is guarded, the thieves will not be able to take advantage of besieging the capital, and they will have to disperse after a long time. Then there will be no such thing as Wu Sangui opening Shanhaiguan to introduce slaves into the pass.

Without slaves entering the customs, the corrupt Ming Dynasty still had room to clean up slowly.

The more Chongzhen thought about Zhou Kui, the head of state, the more angry he became.After Zhou Kui donated silver, Wu Xun, a civil servant of the Manchu Dynasty, followed Zhou Kui's example and deliberately wore the most worn clothes to go to the court, leaving his house in tatters. They followed Zhou Kui and donated only 5 to 5 taels of silver.Master Lin Xi treated the British government well because the British government donated [-] taels?

But after the intruders entered Beijing, didn't the British government also have millions of silver, which were found by the intruders?

Thinking of the tens of millions of silver that the intruders had seized from the homes of noble civil servants, Chongzhen's face was distorted with hatred.The soldiers lay on the towers and under the city walls, the officers pulled up on one side, and lay down on the other side.

That's why he had to borrow money from his courtiers...

The borrowed money was insufficient, and he could not repay the full amount of food and salary to the defenders who owed the food and salary.As a result, those soldiers will contribute as much as they receive in arrears.

Otherwise, how could the city of Beijing be breached by intruders?

"It was those honorable and treacherous ministers who misled me, causing me to lose the world in 270 and seven years of Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen's resentment almost turned into reality.

"Hey! You can deprive the nobles of their braids, and you can deprive them of their titles. You have also killed a lot of important officials. I think the important thing is how to use those civil servants and martial arts.

Even a treacherous minister can play a big role if he uses it well.You have seen Hong Chengchou, how much he has done for Daming in my hands.If the whole court is full of loyal ministers, but they are all loyal ministers who can only talk about their necks and be upright, just like those Donglin Party members who boasted and talked freely during your later period in power, loyal ministers who were full of empty talk, did not know practical things, and could not get things done, In fact, it is not beneficial to the court. "

Chongzhen nodded as he listened, no one had ever taught him how to be an emperor.He watched Master Lin Xi teach Zhu Ciran hand in hand, analyze and guide him bit by bit, and encouraged Zhu Ciran to travel all over the country, both at home and abroad for three years, and truly achieved the goal of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. Chu Jun cultivated.

He is full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Even later, no matter how well Zhu Ciran did, he would quietly say in his heart: That's why you have a good father!

Chongzhen's earnest listening attitude reminded Lin Xi of how he had been with Xinwang's brothers in the past few decades, and couldn't help but say a few more words to Chongzhen.

"It is the common people who really carry the boat and overturn it.

You must have learned this sentence later.

Only by making good use of the hearts of the people can we win the world, and this is the greatest weapon that can protect our country and the world.

Everything is really for the people, and the people who have benefited will turn their heads and work hard to protect the court that is related to their vital interests.

Why did your brother lose the support of the people by reducing or exempting or even canceling the taxes owed by the people of Ming Dynasty and by giving relief?It is because the increased "Liao pay" has crushed the small people, which is tantamount to increasing refugees in disguise.

In fact, you can find a way out if you take the responsibility of the emperor and survive with a broken arm.

Just be cruel, don't show mercy to the rogues, don't say 'that's my people too', let the soldiers on all sides kill all the rogues in one go, it's better than the subsequent repetitions, and then retaliate after appeasement.

You must know that the money you gave to the rogues was squeezed out through the teeth of those people who abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.The rogues got the silver and food to slow down and then turned back. They were beaten to nowhere and had no food and grass, so they went to the court to appease them.

Didn't those repeated appeasements exhaust the last bit of Ming's national power? "

Chongzhen's face changed greatly when he heard this, "Do you think those rogues are no longer the people of Ming Dynasty?"

"If a wound on a person's arm is festering and festering, if you don't cut off the arm, you may die. What should you choose? The bandit and thief are no longer moss sores, but a festering wound that can kill Da Ming. Yes. If you kept it, didn’t you end up with Daming’s life?

Conspiracy is a felony that cannot be pardoned.Think about Tai/zu's handling of treason and suspected treason.You have repeatedly tolerated treason, how can Daming not perish? "

Chongzhen rubbed his hands in embarrassment, embarrassment flooded his pale face.

"Goro, since you want to fall down, you can get up there. I suggest you think about why I insist on all land, including Huangzhuang, and why I insist on all officials and nobles. None of them can have hidden land, and all must pay taxes and obey the law like ordinary people.

Also, when you think about why the superior can only make the right choice, why you have to ignore the impeachment of the former speech officer, and the comments in the annals of history a hundred years later, then you can think about going back. "

Want to achieve something, but don't want to bear the stigma and notoriety, where in the world can such a good thing come from?

I have been busy for several lives, but behind that life, there are good and bad, all kinds of remarks?Even for Sister Feng's life, there are not many people who accuse her of it.Not to mention that in the future, he will be the emperor, general and minister, and plan people's hearts.

If you think too much, you don't deserve that position in the first place.

Chongzhen opened his mouth to ask Lin Xi for advice, Xie Bi'an stepped forward to rescue Lin Xi: "Your Majesty, Master, please."

Chongzhen had no choice but to put his hands on the Dream Realization Bodhisattva, and after a while, the emperor's light on his body was much weaker, only the big characters on the blue emperor's uniform began to emit a dazzling golden-purple light to cover him more conspicuously.

"I have been enthroned for 17 years. Although I am virtuous and filial, and the heavens are angry, all the ministers misunderstood me, causing the rebels to attack the capital. When I die, I will see my ancestors in the ground without a face. I will go to the crown to cover my face. Let the thieves split my corpse, don't hurt one of the common people."

This is the core merit of Emperor Chongzhen.It is something that no last emperor has ever had. He hanged himself at the last moment in exchange for the safety of the people. It is a reflection of the great merit of the emperor's heart for the people.

God's will in the dark has never deceived anyone.

"Xie Bi'an, do I still have the strength to go back?"

Xie Bi'an looked at the shining big characters on Chongzhen's body, and knew that such merits and virtues were not something that the underworld could steal by chance.

He looked at Chongzhen with pity on his face, and sincerely persuaded: "Your Majesty, your merits and virtues are enough. But I suggest that you think about the advice of the Master first. The emperors of the past generations have done very well, Your Majesty Wouldn't it be better to go back after understanding the details?

Or His Majesty can wait here, earn merits for other emperors to realize their dreams like the Venerable Master, and also practice their skills by the way.If you go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty after you have practiced it well, the chances of success in saving the Ming Dynasty will be higher. "

Chongzhen was a little hesitant. He felt that after seeing what Lin Xi had done, and seeing that Goro had been out of the court to study since he was ten years old, and learned all the content after him, and even after seeing Lin Xi's teachings to Zhu Ciran, he felt that he Going back to the first year of Chongzhen now will surely save Daming.

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Bi'an continued to persuade him: "Your Majesty has been the emperor for more than ten or twenty years. After you understand those key points in detail, you will have a greater chance of success. Otherwise, you will lose your merits in vain, and there is no possibility that you will not return in the future." gone."

Lin Xi's words touched him a lot, and Xie Bi'an's words were also for his consideration.Chongzhen hesitated for a while, and Fang resolutely chose to follow the good advice, "Then I will think about it again, and carefully refer to the Master's teachings."

Xie Bi'an beckoned a ghost messenger over and told him to take Chongzhen to recuperate.

Chongzhen bowed gratefully to Lin Xi and left with the ghost messenger.

"Hey, this is also a poor last emperor."

Xie Bi'an waited for Chongzhen to disappear before shaking his head and sighing.

"Which one of the last emperors is not pitiful?! I just hope that I will not be born in the emperor's family forever. What he said is also reasonable."

Lin Xi stretched out his hand to press the Dream Realization Merit Book, but Xie Bi'an stopped him, and reminded Lin Xi: "The master's great merit this time is very likely to become a Buddha immediately."

Lin Xi smiled, "I said that I don't have much interest in gods and Buddhas. I am worried about it. Here, you give this to Wu Geng. He was also brought up by me. Except for him, Young Master Han, I don't have to worry about the other children. .”

Lin Xi handed Xie Bi'an his token from the underworld bank.

"If there is any treasure of heaven and earth that can help Wu Geng make up for his soul as soon as possible, let him and his son not be stingy with spending money."

"Where is the Master going?"

"Lin Xi, don't you only think about Wu Geng?"

Lin Xi didn't need to turn her head to know that it was Di Xin who was speaking behind her.
