Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 643 Qian Qianyi's Plan
"Now that the thief Zhao has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Xuanzhen, and half of Sichuan have been taken down by the thief Zhao. Half of the Ming Dynasty has gone, how many of these two capitals and thirteen provinces are left? Once the thief Zhao With your hands free, how do you resist Zhao's soldiers? How do you ask me to take care of the dragon's body?"

Chongzhen was so angry that he didn't start, he could only roar at Gao Qiqian non-stop.

Gao Qiqian knelt on the ground, trembling constantly, "It's not worth it, my lord, it's not worth it."

Gao Qiqian kept kowtowing his head, trying to persuade Chongzhen.

Chongzhen overturned the desk in front of him angrily, shouted loudly in the imperial study room, and kept insulting Zhao Wen.

"Are the thousands of miles of ancestors going to be cut off in my hands? I don't accept it, I don't accept it." Chongzhen raised his head to the sky and screamed, yelling and cursing loudly.

In addition to Chongzhen knowing the news of Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne, many officials in the court also knew the news of Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne.

After all, in the past few days, there have been a large number of newspapers in Xuanzhen.

The newspapers that appeared in the capital were all obtained by Zhao Wen's spies in the capital. Although Zhao Wen has shrunk his troops and horses now, they can still disturb the hearts of the people in the capital.

For this reason, most of the officials in the capital knew about it.

For a moment, the capital fell into a strange atmosphere.

Although the people's reaction was very intense at the beginning, it gradually calmed down within a few days. After all, for them, the biggest thing is to have a full stomach.

However, the officials in the capital became more and more worried day by day.

Chen Xinjia was sitting in his study, looking at the newspaper in his hand, frowning tightly.

The butler of the mansion stood opposite him, "Master, it's getting late now, it's time for the master to rest."

"Rest?" Chen Xinjia put down the newspaper in his hand, and sighed, "Oh, bandit Zhao has ascended the throne, how can you let me sleep?"

"Master, Bandit Zhao's soldiers and horses are very powerful. Now that Bandit Zhao has ascended the throne, he might attack the imperial court aggressively. At that time, I don't know how long the imperial court can last." The steward also said worriedly.

"Well, in my estimation, the imperial court can't hold out for even a year. If the imperial court's army were to meet Zhao Bandit's soldiers, they would not be able to match Zhao Bandit at all. Zhao Bandit's strength is unfathomable, and the court cannot deal with it. "Chen Xinjia looked worried, he stood up, walked out of the study, and looked at the night sky.

He recalled what he had seen and heard in Xuanzhen, and he became more and more sure that the imperial court was not Zhao Wen's opponent.

The moon shines brightly in the night sky, and tonight is a clear night.In the past, Chen Xinjia might have been in the mood to drink and compose poems to the moon, but now, Chen Xinjia has no such intention at all.

"Master, what should we do then? The imperial court is not Zhao's opponent. When the building collapses, what should we do?" The housekeeper looked at Chen Xinjia anxiously.

Chen Xinjia's face was solemn, and he kept thinking about it.

"Let's wait and see what happens!" Chen Xinjia couldn't figure out what to do for a while, so he could only do it first.

In a house in the capital, a decent-looking middle-aged man was sitting in his study, holding a newspaper from Xuanzhen in his hand.

"Zhao Thief has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, coupled with Zhao Thief's tyrannical strength, it is estimated that it will not be long before Zhao's army will sweep the world, and by then, the Great Ming will be overthrown.

Although I was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, good birds choose trees to live in, and virtuous officials choose masters to work on.

Although Bandit Zhao is a rebel, the policies adopted in Xuanzhen are all first-class benevolent government. Now the emperor has no way to compare with Bandit Zhao.

Isn't this what scholars of my generation seek?Don't scholars of my generation just hope to assist the Holy King?Now that thief Zhao has this ability, I might as well vote for him.

Today's imperial court is already a wrecked ship, and His Majesty is not a wise emperor, so I might as well vote for Bandit Zhao. "

The middle-aged man looked at the newspaper in his hand and kept muttering, looking for reasons for himself to surrender to Zhao Wen.

This middle-aged man is none other than Qian Qianyi, the well-known Shui Tailiang itchy scalp in history.

Originally, Qian Qianyi was dismissed by Chongzhen in the early years of Chongzhen because of the fraud case in the examination room.

Qian Qianyi is a person who likes being an official very much. In order to be an official, he can do anything.

Not long after Qian Qianyi stayed in his hometown, he came to the capital again with all kinds of belongings brought out from his hometown.

After he kept running around and entertaining guests for dinner, he finally got his wish and became an official, a servant under the Ministry of Rites.

After becoming an official, Qian Qianyi didn't think about how to do his job well, nor did he think about contributing to the court.

Qian Qianyi only thought about one thing, and that was promotion.

Therefore, after Qian Qianyi became an official, he kept digging his way, trying to climb up.

However, as Zhao Wen became more and more powerful, Qian Qianyi also had other ideas in his heart, especially this time when Zhao Wen ascended the throne, Qian Qianyi saw something unusual.

Now that the Great Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, Qian Qianyi doesn't have the ambition to throw his head and blood for the country.

If he had this kind of ambition, he would not have opened the gate of Jinling in history and knelt down to welcome Dorgon.

Today's Qian Qianyi had the idea of ​​surrendering to Zhao Wen when he saw Zhao Wen's growing power.

"Nowadays when Zhao Wen started a new dynasty, even if I wasn't the first to follow him, if I worked under Zhao Wen for seven or eight years, Zhao Wen would give me a promotion no matter what.

Judging from the newspaper, Zhao Wen set up the Political Council and the Military Council, and these two things should be the cabinet.There are a total of forty officials in the two chambers, and I should be able to add them no matter what. "

Qian Qianyi looked at the contents of the newspaper and kept thinking about it.

Qian Qianyi looked at the newspaper in his hand, and kept fantasizing in his heart, as if he had seen the glory and wealth.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

At this moment, a sweet voice came in from outside the study door.

Qian Qianyi put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled.

"I have something on my mind, I can't sleep, come in." Qian Qianyi looked at the door of the study and stood up.

"Crench!"

After the crisp sound of the door hinges turning, a beautiful figure walked in.

The visitor was none other than Qian Qianyi's concubine Yang Ai.

Yang Ai is Liu Rushi's original name. When she was young, she read Song Dynasty Xin Qiji's "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" and felt that the two lines of the poem "I see Qingshan is so charming, but I expect Qingshan to see me like this" are very beautiful, so I called myself Liu Rushi.

Originally, Liu Rushi married Qian Qianyi for 11 years in Chongzhen, and there are still two or three years before now.But because Zhao Wen's arrival disrupted many things in this era, Liu Rushi married Qian Qianyi ahead of schedule.

Liu Rushi is a strange woman who has read a lot of poetry and books. She used to be the number one among the "Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River".

Not only is he beautiful, but he is also well-read in poetry and books. After Qian Qianyi married Liu Rushi, his whole mind was put on Liu Rushi. As for his first wife, he had long left behind him.

"If that's the case, why aren't you asleep yet?" Qian Qianyi hastily went up to greet him, and looked at Liu Rushi with a smile. "Sit down!"

Qian Qianyi pulled out a chair from the desk and placed it next to the chair he was sitting on.

"I see that Mr. has not returned to his room for a long time, and saw that the study room is brightly lit, so I came here." Liu Rushi paused, and then asked: "I don't know what Mr. is busy with? I can read a few words, if If the husband speaks out, the concubine can give him advice."

Unlike the traditional women of this era, Liu Rushi is still a person who is very concerned about the affairs of the court.

Qian Qianyi sat down and picked up the newspaper on the desk, "Do you know the news that Zhao Wen has ascended the throne as emperor?"

Liu Rushi sat next to Qian Qianyi, "I heard that, this afternoon, this matter spread in the capital."

"What do you think?" Qian Qianyi asked.

"I heard that Bandit Zhao is so powerful that he even wiped out the slaves outside the pass. Although I have never met Bandit Zhao, according to the rumors, the court may not be able to stop it." Liu Rushi sighed and raised his eyebrows. wrinkled together.

"What do you think I should do now?" Qian Qianyi asked again.

Liu Rushi looked at Qian Qianyi, "Mr. is an official of the imperial court. He eats the emperor's salary and is loyal to the emperor. Mr. should serve the country and fight against the enemy."

"Hey!" Qian Qianyi sighed, "It's not easy, it's not easy. Zhao Wen's strength and the imperial court are no match, how can I stop it?"

Liu Rushi is a smart woman. When he heard Qian Qianyi's words, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Qian Qianyi.

"Why did you say that, sir?" Liu Rushi asked.

Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Rushi, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "I want to surrender to Zhao Wen."

When Liu Rushi heard the words, her body shook, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

She really didn't dare to think that these words came from Qian Qianyi's mouth.

"My lord, why do you think this way? Why do you want to submit to Bandit Zhao? Bandit Zhao is deceiving the emperor and committing a rebellion. Mister must not lose his reputation because of this." Liu Rushi persuaded hurriedly.

Qian Qianyi shook his head, "You are wrong, today's Zhao Wen is a rare sage king..."

Qian Qianyi began to praise Zhao Wen in front of Liu Rushi, boasting that Zhao Wen was the best person in the world.

The light in Liu Rushi's eyes gradually dimmed.

"First, first, sir, don't succumb to Zhao Wen just because Zhao Wen is powerful. He is just a traitor. After the imperial court organizes a new army, he will definitely defeat Zhao Wen." Liu Rushi impassionedly advised Qian Qianyi .

Liu Rushi is a strange woman with great ambitions, so when she heard that Qian Qianyi was going to surrender to Zhao Wen, she couldn't accept it.

"The imperial court? The new army? Even if you give the imperial court 30, no, [-] elite soldiers, can the imperial court defeat Zhao Wen?
Since Zhao Wen's attack on Shanxi, have you ever heard that Zhao Wen lost a battle?Which time is not devastating?Which time didn't the defenders be beaten to pieces?The building is about to collapse, you and I are just mayflies in troubled times, I know you value fame, but fame can't be eaten, and fame can't save your life.

I, Qian Qianyi, have not been successful since I embarked on an official career. The imperial court is about to disappear. If I don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid I won't be reconciled until I die. "Qian Qianyi did not back down, and confronted each other.

A violent quarrel broke out in the study, and Liu Rushi, a woman, suppressed Qian Qianyi in momentum.

However, this situation did not last long.

"Enough!" Qian Qianyi slapped the table and cursed: "You are just a broken body. When you were flirting with that Chen Zilong back then, who knows what the two of you did?" .Now you actually teach me a lesson, how presumptuous, how presumptuous!"

Qian Qianyi pointed at Liu Rushi, his beard and hair were stretched out, and his eyes were full of anger.

Liu Rushi stared blankly at Qian Qianyi, she really didn't expect Qian Qianyi to say such a thing.

Chen Zilong was met by Liu Rushi when he was performing arts in Qinhuai River. The two fell in love at first sight and had a long relationship. Finally, because of a series of accidents, the two had to separate.

Chen Zilong is Liu Rushi's favorite person in this life, and also the person who understands her best.

But she didn't expect that Qian Qianyi would be so shameless that he would use his past to insult herself.

Tears fell from Liu Rushi's eyes, she sobbed a few times, and then ran out without looking back.

Looking at Liu Rushi who left, Qian Qianyi regretted for a moment, regretting what he said just now.

"I didn't do it on purpose, listen to my explanation!" Qian Qianyi slapped his thigh and hurriedly chased after him.

……

Early the next morning, Chongzhen gathered all six ministers and cabinet ministers in the imperial study.

This time was different from the previous ones. In the past, few people were absent, and even if some people were absent, there would not be many.

But this time, three ministers in the six books said that the illness would come, and two ministers in the cabinet said that the illness did not come.

There are five people in total, which is half of the six ministries and the cabinet.

Chongzhen looked at these few people in the imperial study room, his face was extremely gloomy.

"Okay, okay, really good, really good minister of mine." Chongzhen squinted his eyes and cursed murderously: "I really didn't expect that so many people who complained of illness did not come today. I don't believe it." , These people are all sick.

Don't you think that my Daming country is hopeless, and you are going to surrender to Bandit Zhao?Are you thinking in your heart that I will be captured and dedicated to Bandit Zhao? "

When the ministers in the imperial study heard Chongzhen's words, they were instantly frightened and knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, the ministers dare not!" Zhang Zhifa, the chief assistant of the cabinet, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chongzhen a few times tremblingly.

The rest of the ministers did the same, and hurriedly pleaded guilty and begged for forgiveness.

Chongzhen looked at these people, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had lost his composure.

"Get up, I shouldn't get angry at you, after all, you are here." After Chongzhen said, he looked at Gao Qiqian who was standing beside him, "Remember those who didn't come, and after you get down, give I will check carefully to see if these people are really sick."

Gao Qiqian hastily bowed and saluted, "Accept the decree!"

The ministers in the imperial study looked at Chongzhen, their minds were uneasy, and their bodies kept trembling.
