Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 156

"Comfortable~"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the bathtub, soaked comfortably in the hot bath. The pressure he had endured during the battles over the past few days made him physically and mentally exhausted, but at this moment he was completely released.

Huang Taiji commanded the Jianlu Eight Banners, and the harm caused by the invasion of Ming Dynasty was minimized under his little bit of strategizing.

The Jianlu Eight Banners who invaded in this battle failed to rob gold, silver, food, population and other means of production from the Ming Dynasty. For Jianlu who fought in a roundabout way, it was a loss-making business.

The area destroyed by Jianlu was limited to Zunhua and Santunying.

Compared with the original timeline, the losses and injuries caused by the Jisi change are all tolerable, but Jianlu is different.

The disadvantage of insufficient core personnel is vividly reflected at this moment.

"Huang Taiji, you dog slave, I'm afraid you are still worrying about how to stabilize the order of the Eight Banners in the future." 'Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen here, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Thinking of the various disadvantages he caused to Huang Taiji by leading the Ming army and defeating the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen felt much better.

"Crash..."

Standing up from the bathtub, Wang Chengen, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the movement, hurriedly greeted the eunuch, and went in to help his prince change his clothes.

"Wang Banban, how is the foreign court going?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was being served to change clothes, stretched out his hands, raised his head and said, "The cabinet, how are the ministries and institutes doing? Is there any movement?"

"My lord, the news that Yuan Chonghuan was sent to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison has been revealed under the arrangement of Luo Yangxing." Wang Chengen bowed and said.

"Now the ministers of the outer court are all showing excitement. It seems that they don't want Jin Yiwei to try Yuan Chonghuan's case, and want to persuade the emperor to order the three courts to have a joint trial."

"interesting."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, put his hands into the jade belt, and walked forward slowly, "Then it is estimated that many ministers will come to persuade me on the grounds of the remaining poison of the factory guard... Wang Banban, do you think I should How to deal with it?"

Wang Chengen, who was bowing behind him, felt his heart tense when he heard the words, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "My lord, my slaves are dull, I dare not speak out on such important matters."

Ever since following Emperor Chongzhen's imperial conquest, Wang Cheng'en has seen and kept all the performances of the emperor in his eyes, and he has also set a bottom line for himself. He must not intervene in any important matters involving the government and military affairs of the court and China.

"Is there something in my heart that I dare not say? Or have I really never thought about it?" Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the East Nuan Pavilion, glanced at Wang Chengen, and said, "If you have an idea, just talk about it. I forgive you for your innocence."

If you want to check and balance the power of the court, you can't do without the group of eunuchs in the inner court. Compared with the civil servants in the outer court, eunuchs who have no descendants have obviously more trust in him, the son of heaven.

Whether these eunuchs or eunuchs in the inner court, everything they have comes from the imperial power, without the imperial power, they are nothing.

As long as the inner court can check and balance well, there will be no powerful eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, but the easy-to-use Wei eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't mind, and there will be more useful "Wei eunuchs" around him.

It may be a mouthful to say, but the principle is very simple. He is a big boy, and he needs helpers around him, but he is not a helper who can cover the sky with his hands.

"My lord... this slave thinks that it might be better to be in Jinyiwei instead of handing over to the Sanfa Division." Wang Chengen, who was hesitating in his heart, said after a moment of hesitation.

"The emperor's triumphant return to the court this time just did something beneficial to the court, but he encountered such troublesome things. If you don't beat him up, I'm afraid..."

When it came to this point, Wang Chengen didn't dare to continue talking.

"Well, well said."

Emperor Chongzhen walked into Dongnuang Pavilion, and praised Wang Chengen slightly: "Since you are serving by my side, you still need to have the vision you should have.

Go, bring me the memorabilia submitted by Cao Ban with them, and I want to see how the inner court has changed during this period of time. "

"The servants lead the order."

Returning to his absolute sacred and inviolable territory, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry to pay too much attention to the changes in the external court situation, but instead focused his energy on the inner court.

If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside.

If the inner court is not settled well, then why are we talking about fighting with the court officials?
But even if Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about it, he could still imagine in his heart what kind of turmoil it would cause when Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Prison, especially for the former ministers who supported the Yuan faction.

Thinking of the Emperor Chongzhen here, he couldn't help sighing, saying that the Son of Heaven is a loner, this statement is not false at all, in the absolute power struggle, if there is no helper around him, he wants to compete with the powerful and intertwined civil servants , that is a very difficult thing.

imperial party.

inner court.

Factory guard...

When thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen began to write. This time, he personally defeated the Jianlu who invaded Ming Dynasty, which brought him a lot of political benefits.

Counting from the Battle of Salhu, Daming had fought against Jianlu for so many years, and had never beheaded so many Jianlu on the battlefield.

But this time under his personal conquest, the various armies that participated in the battle have achieved impressive results. Although there was no battle, he, the great emperor, came to the battlefield to command the battle in person, but the aura of the emperor will also be the greatest. A piece of glory, blessed to himself.

'There are so many things to do next. '

Looking at what he wrote casually, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and said: "If you want to defend the imperial power, you must not give up the power of the factory guard."

However, there is an East Factory and a Jinyiwei, which cannot meet their own needs. This simple check and balance is not enough, the key is to earn money.

I remember that there are many Huangzhuang attached to the inner court and the royal family. Every year, they don’t pay money to the inner court, and they also pay a lot of money. This batch of rats should also be cleaned up. '

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking secretly in his heart what he would do next. In the case of Yuan Chonghuan, if he wanted to achieve his political goals, he could not achieve them in a short time.

But with such a good political advantage, it is impossible for him to let go of it like this. He was busy dealing with the invasion of Jianlu before, and he didn't have the intention to purge the inner court.

However, the situation is different now, the foreign aggression has been lifted for the time being, and it is time for him to clean up some cancers in the inner court. In this way, he can also use this opportunity to purify the political vision he wants to achieve through this deep purge of the inner court. , to implement it one by one, the key point is facing the other side, and I can't find any excuses to persuade myself.
