Start a Ming Dynasty plane

The favor of the great eunuch Cao Huachun is still valuable, and if handled well, it can also play a big role. As for the food, Li Chaosheng sincerely wanted to give it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen defended the city of BJ and fought against the Tartars. It seemed that it was just a matter between Ming and Tartars, not about Lantian. In fact, Lantian also had a major relationship with it.

When the Tartars attacked Daming, they killed the people of Ming and destroyed its property, but Li Chaosheng was determined to swallow the world. The people of Ming killed by the Tartars will probably become Li Chaosheng’s subjects in the future. It is likely to become Li Chaosheng's property, so Li Chaosheng does not want the Tartars to cause too much trouble in Ming Dynasty.

You must know that when the Tartars kill people, no matter whether you are a landlord, a rich man or an ordinary person, they treat you equally. This is a poison to the Han people. Ideas, otherwise how can you be regarded as a hero, and how can you have the face to compete for the emperor's career?
Therefore, giving Chongzhen grain, making Chongzhen's logistics supplies more abundant, and causing more damage to the Tartars is what Li Chaosheng wanted to see. For this reason, Li Chaosheng had prepared this batch of grain long ago.

It was just an excuse to give it to the emperor. Now Cao Huachun took the initiative to ask for it, so he pushed the boat along the way and gave this batch of grain to Chongzhen, which can be regarded as his respect for Chongzhen.

Seeing that Li Chaosheng was really willing to give him the food, Cao Huachun couldn't help being overjoyed. He knew the current situation in the capital, the Tartars invaded the capital, and the capital would definitely transfer people from all walks of life to King Qin, but the treasury of the capital couldn't afford any extra money now. The food was given to these soldiers and horses entering Beijing as military rations.

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for wanting horses to run away and not giving them grass. If food and grass cannot be prepared for these King Qin soldiers and horses, then these King Qin soldiers and horses may mutiny, and it will be another disaster. what.

And Lan Tian's willingness to take out this batch of grain and grass simply solved His Majesty's urgent need. At this moment, Cao Huachun believed that Li Chaosheng was loyal to His Majesty.

Otherwise, how could an anti-Shaanxi king come up with money to help His Majesty who was in trouble.

Thinking about it, Cao Huachun turned his eyes to Li Chaosheng who drank another glass of wine. Seeing that Li Chaosheng's wine glass was empty again, Cao Huachun helped Li Chaosheng fill it up again.

Li Chaosheng squinted his eyes and glanced at Cao Huachun and said, "Eunuch Cao, this is the second time for me to pour wine, the first time is to thank my Lantian for the food that I gave to His Majesty, this time, what is Eunuch Cao thinking? "

After hearing this, Cao Huachun pondered for a while and said, "The miscellaneous family risked their lives to relieve His Majesty's heartache, dare to ask the county lord, is it loyal or treacherous?"

As soon as these words came out, the hairs of Jiang Changge standing behind Cao Huachun stood on end. Is this because he is planning to meet with a poor dagger?
But the factory owner, I don’t have a sharp weapon on me, and the big stupid guy standing opposite, if I’m not mistaken, it should be the God of War in Lantian, Li Chaomeng, who is known as invincible.

With him around, I, Jinyiwei Qianhu, have no chance of winning, and even though we are in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there are all guards from Lantian not far away. If Li Chaosheng gives an order, we will be chopped to pieces Cake.

Factory owner, you can't be so stubborn, why do you have to offend Li Chaosheng?Is it not good for him to be alive? …

At this time, Cao Huachun was staring at Li Chaosheng with piercing eyes. He really wanted to know the answer. If he could use his life to confirm Li Chaosheng's loyalty and treachery for His Majesty, Cao Huachun would be willing, and he could also make him a loyal minister. The name will be passed down to future generations.

Of course, this possibility is unlikely, and Cao Huachun has judged it himself, so he dares to bet.

Li Chaosheng didn't answer directly after hearing this, but looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Do you think I'm loyal or traitor?"

Cao Huachun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "If the county lord is a loyal minister, the county lord refuses to obey the imperial court's order, seizes Guihua City outside the Great Wall without giving it to the imperial court, and appoints officials in Shaanxi without the imperial court's appointment, and has his own army. All of this proves that the county official is going to rebel and is a big traitor."

"However, if you say that the county venerable is a traitor, then you can see that all the officials in the world are lying to His Majesty, thinking of the law and not paying taxes, but the county lord's tax has never been less, and with the expansion of the territory, the county lord pays more and more. There are more and more, and whenever the court is in trouble, the county venerable never makes trouble, but helps. In recent years, no matter whether it is a bandit or a Tartar rebellion, the county lord has never made an overstepping move. From this point of view, the county lord is simply better than The most loyal courtiers in Ming Dynasty are still loyal, so this old slave can't understand, he doesn't know whether the county official is loyal or treacherous."

Li Chaosheng didn't speak after hearing this, but looked at Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun looked at Li Chaosheng's bright eyes and said: "The county lord, please let the old slave die to understand."

Li Chaosheng said slowly at this time: "If one day something happens to your majesty, I will raise up soldiers in Lantian to avenge your majesty, kill all the thieves and bandits in the world, and comfort your majesty's spirit in heaven."

Cao Huachun was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Why is the county lord here? He can't help His Majesty Zuo, and prevent His Majesty from being slaughtered by thieves. A famous minister through the ages."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Cao Huachun and said with a smile: "Eunuch, the new world cannot accommodate the monarchs of the old era. I can only guarantee that if your majesty lives for a day, I will not turn against me in Lantian. For the rest, I can't guarantee it. So, please come back, father-in-law."

After saying this, Li Chaosheng got up, turned around and left, looking at the back of Li Chaosheng walking away, Cao Huachun suddenly felt that he was much older, because he seemed to see the air of an emperor in Li Chaosheng, the real air of an emperor, It's not Chongzhen's imperial spirit inherited from his ancestors.

"Your Majesty will not die, and Lantian will not turn against you, hehe...you really are a world-class hero."

Cao Huachun looked at the direction of Li Chaosheng's departure, muttering in his mouth.

Jiang Changge behind him came over and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Jiang Changge noticed that Cao Huachun's face was a little pale and asked, Cao Huachun waved his hand after hearing this and said, "It's okay, let's go, go to the treasury in Lantian to take out these grains and give them to Your Majesty."

"Master, what about Lantian?"

Jiang Changge looked at Cao Huachun and asked, Cao Huachun heard this and said: "Li Chaosheng is the unrivaled demon king. This is not something we can plot now. In fact, we can hear from Li Chaosheng's mouth that His Majesty will not die and Lantian will not turn back. enough."

"The factory believes in Li Chaosheng's words?"...

Cao Huachun laughed and said, "I don't believe it."

"what for?"

Jiang Changge looked at Cao Huachun in puzzlement, and Cao Huachun said, "Great heroes like Li Chaosheng are very conceited, and what they say is usually credible, especially this kind of words with oaths, Your Majesty will not die." If Lantian does not rebel, this is like a curse. If Lantian abides by it, if one day His Majesty is killed by tartars or bandits, and Lantian rises up to wipe out the bandits and recover the rivers and mountains, then Lantian will win the righteousness of the country and will be recognized by the people of the world. , Li Chaosheng will not bear the reputation of a traitor, even if it is not written in the history books that he is a traitor, it is very important to leave a good reputation."

"Similarly, if this curse is broken by Lan Tian, ​​and Lan Tian raises troops while His Majesty is still alive, unless we do it first, otherwise they will do it first, even if they break the oath, then the people of the world will look at Li Chaosheng as a traitor. The justice of Li Chaosheng getting Da Ming no longer exists, and even if he gets Da Ming in the future, there will be endless troubles, so Li Chaosheng said this oath himself, which is tantamount to telling the world that Li Chaosheng is not a traitor, but If he breaks his promise, then even if he wins the world, he will face countless troubles."

Jiang Changge didn't understand it, but he understood it a little bit. Cao Huachun looked at Jiang Changge and thought about political prestige. How could Jiang Changge, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, know about such things as political prestige?
In fact, what Cao Huachun said is quite right. Fame does not seem to be very important to an emperor or a dynasty. After all, the actual control is indeed in their hands, but is it true?

No, reputation is equally important to the emperor and the superior. Let’s not talk about ancient times, but let’s talk about Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms period. Sima Yi signed the Luoshui treaty with Cao Shuang during the Gaopingling Incident. Killing Cao Shuang made a very bad start, and then the Jin Dynasty established by his descendants even treated the covenant as bullshit.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin, a generation of Ming emperors, killed brothers and brothers when he ascended the throne, and his reputation was notorious. Looking at the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, how many of them were friendly to brothers and did not kill them.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Da bullied the orphans and widows, and the reincarnation of the heavens, he was also bullied by the orphans and widows in his country.

Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty rebelled and seized the world from his eldest nephew. As a result, his son also competed with his grandson for the world, which eventually led to a human tragedy.

This has to show that there is God's will in the explanation. If a political power has been corrupted in the process of obtaining it, there is a high probability that its descendants will also experience this dirty.

Don't you allow others to obtain the world you obtained by rebelling in the same way?

The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, those who are strong in soldiers and horses win, this is the best proof.

When a dynasty is born, it will have its own unique genes, which will influence the kings of later generations. If you think about the world that Tungusi Boarskin obtained by taking advantage of loopholes, people in the world will always dissatisfy him. If you look carefully at the history of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Qing Dynasty , The uprising against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty has never stopped. This is a historical sequelae.

It is also a reason why emperors have tried their best to maintain their positive image since ancient times. When you are strong enough, maybe this reputation can't bring you anything, but as long as you show a weak posture, then reputation is fatal. …

Countless people will stare at you and say, "He is the world who rebelled. Why can't we rebel? What Li Chaosheng did, I can't do it?"

Therefore, for the sake of reputation, in Cao Huachun's view, Li Chaosheng would not break this oath unless it was a last resort.

Li Chaosheng returned to his study, Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, why did you promise to that old eunuch Cao Huachun? He is obviously trying to respect your words."

At this time, Li Chaosheng took the tea that Gu Zi handed over, took a sip and said, "I'm tired, I don't want to give Chongzhen some unrealistic fantasies anymore, he wants me to be Huo Guang, Cao Cao, but Chongzhen is not obedient The Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is not the incompetent Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He is Chongzhen, a master who will not be manipulated by others. Besides, our new world has no place for the emperor of the old era to settle down, so I want to tell him bluntly, I I will not help him, nor will I oppose him, I want him to give up all unrealistic ideas."

"This time, my showdown with Cao Huachun is to tell Chongzhen from the side that I will no longer be his courtier. Now I should be his ally, and the most steadfast ally. As long as Chongzhen is alive, Lan Tian will not rebel. , so that Chongzhen can make the final struggle for the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind."

"It is also possible to get rid of some people's ideas. Cao Huachun said today that he wants me to be Huo Guang and Cao Cao. This is not just his idea. There are many people behind it, and many of them are even people from our Lantian. , I will pierce this layer of window paper today and tell them clearly that I will not be Huo Guang or Cao Cao, I want to create a new world, and I want to be an emperor, not a courtier."

"And they'd better get rid of those unrealistic fantasies. From now on, if they want to follow us, they should wholeheartedly plan for Lantian, instead of being half-hearted and wanting to please both sides. Our career cannot tolerate half-heartedness. There is no room for fantasies."

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, Gu Zi heard this and said: "Xianzun, I think it is a bit risky for you to do this. Although you said that Chongzhen will not die and you will not rebel, it is almost equivalent to declaring your disobedience to the court." Well, if the imperial court repulses the Tartars this time, I'm afraid they will deal with us Lantian with all their strength, and even though we Lantian are not afraid, it will be quite uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "The imperial court wants to deal with us, hahaha, no, although the Tartars are easy to repel, but Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are already restless. I can guarantee that when the Tartars retreat, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will definitely come back again." Rebellion, and this time, the Ming Dynasty will usher in its end, and then we only need to reorganize the old rivers and mountains, and we can complete our great cause."

Li Chaosheng said confidently that Li Zicheng would not let him down this time.

Li Chaosheng took a sip of tea again, with a smile in his eyes, Li Zicheng should be integrating his staff now, and he should find a way to expand Lantian's territory.

By the way, how is Li Dingguo's reading in Lantian Academy going?

Li Chaosheng thought about it and said to Guzi: "Guzi, how long has Li Dingguo been in Lantian Academy?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Is it five or six days?"

"Oh, have you studied hard?"

Guzi heard the words and said: "It is said that the news came from the academy that Li Dingguo did not study seriously on the first day, until he listened to Mr. Wang's "On the Governance of the Country" on the second day, he went to listen to Mr. Wang's class every day regardless of the weather. .”
