Chongzhen's open life

chapter 431

In recent months, the originally peaceful Ming Empire was surrounded by wars and chaos, and even natural disasters suddenly came out to join in the fun.

Not only the inland area, but even the sea area is not very peaceful. The warships of the Westerners approached the Daming sea area several times.

Daming, which had gradually entered a state of recuperation after pacifying the Liaodong Houjin, fell into chaos again.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who was wise and powerful before, seemed to be a different person at this time, turning a blind eye to the chaos in the empire, fishing and having fun in the harem all day long, and was in a state of laissez-faire with the government.

Loyal ministers naturally couldn't bear to see this situation, and repeatedly asked for a face-to-face in front of the palace gate, but His Majesty never saw it.

This scene made everyone feel a little chilled. Could it be that His Majesty, who was wise and powerful at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, is also like those emperors who were wise in the early stage and stupid in the late stage in history?
But there is no emperor who is only wise and indulges in pleasure for a year or two. He is getting fatter when he gets old. You have persisted for less than two years!
The loyal ministers are heartbroken!
But those officials who have small thoughts in their hearts are as distressed as the loyal ministers on the face, but they are already smiling in their hearts!

It’s okay if the emperor is stupid. The emperor is too wise to have their benefits. Only when the emperor is stupid is a good time for them to make a lot of money.

Previously, because of today's iron and blood methods, they reluctantly restrained themselves and dared not make money like before. Who can understand the pain in their hearts?
It's all right now, the emperor doesn't care about anything!

Now these loyal ministers above, without the support of the emperor, what use can they be?

As long as they unite with many officials who want to make money, they will empty out these people in minutes, and then they will not be able to make as much money as they want!
With Daming's current family background, maybe he can earn more than His Majesty before he took the throne!
They thought this way, and gradually did so secretly, and the court gradually became undercurrents, and dark things came back.

Everything seems to be gradually returning to the past.

And that's exactly what someone wants to see.

Somewhere in the dark, watching the courtiers who once came to ask for a face saint but were still refused to disperse helplessly, the middle-aged man in the scarlet python robe showed a smile and muttered to himself: "Soon...soon ... If you can sit in that seat, so can I!
Since you are playing me like a monkey, don't blame me for being a ruthless uncle!snort! "

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned and left to hide in the darkness.

……

At the beginning of June, under the suppression of the imperial court, the southeast land gradually returned to calm.

After all, it was caused by some literati. As the saying goes, the rebellion of scholars failed for three years, and the local military region that came back to their senses completely suppressed the rioters without even using half of their troops. The army broke into the door and hung it high on a pole on the side of the road to warn others.

After this incident, in a certain place in the Hou's mansion that day, the sound of breaking things resounded non-stop, and faint words of trash resounded endlessly!

Since then, the southern part of the empire has gradually returned to calm, but under the undercurrent of the court, it may only be a temporary calm on the surface.

In the northwest, after more than a month of onslaught, Lin Dan Khan's army was suddenly caught off guard by the beggars who rushed out from behind. Khan himself and a group of tribal leaders who raised troops were directly captured alive and will be escorted to Beijing soon.

The northwest border, which has been in chaos for more than a month, has gradually returned to calm.

After the incident was reported to the capital, the worried courtiers breathed a sigh of relief in an instant. They thought that Daming was going to end.

That's it! ?That's it! ?
The flames of war on all sides were extinguished in less than two months, and only Liaodong was still in turmoil.

When Zhu Youjian, who was still fishing in the palace, was silent for a long time after receiving the news, he sighed for a long time: "Just this trick?

If you haven't lasted for two months, it's useless to give you a chance, Uncle Huang!

It seems that I still need my nephew to help you, otherwise I am really afraid that you and those people will be flattened if they can't even see the capital, so how can I continue..."

Just as the elders were sharpening their knives to Liaodong and discussing how to send a large army to calm down there, the Liaodong war, which had been stalemate for nearly two months, suddenly changed dramatically!
In just one night, several cities that were still defending were suddenly destroyed. More than [-] rebels who rose up from the former Liaodong generals broke through the city all the way and approached the capital. The bridge is like a godsend.

When the imperial court received the news, the army was already three hundred miles away, and it would take only a few days to reach the capital!

The courtiers are fooled!
The elders are fooled!

no!What's going on?

We were just discussing to come to Boda for you, but you suddenly called at the door of your house, leaving us unprepared, you old sixes!Don't talk about Wude!

The rebel army was approaching, and there were less than [-] defenders in the entire capital. Most of them were sent to other places to help suppress the rebellion before, and they couldn't come back for a while.

And it will take half a month at the fastest to transfer Wang Jun from other places, but half a month, can the capital hold it?

This is the rebel army formed by the former Liaodong generals, but they are all the most elite Liaodong frontier army of the original Ming Dynasty!It's not some rabble of mobs!

Panic!The whole court panicked!

Hundreds of officials came to the palaces and asked for face-to-face!

However, as always, His Majesty is gone!
Baiguan invites again, but still no see!
In such chaos, the capital was besieged in just three days.

The dense rebels surrounded the capital tightly.

And just today, the emperor who had been hiding in the harem for a long time finally appeared!
In the early morning, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the many courtiers below with a calm expression, and asked a sentence that left them speechless.

"Why do you love this expression?"

Huang Liji stood up with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, my Ming capital is surrounded by rebels! At some point, the rebels will attack the city, and the safety of the capital is at stake!"

To this, Zhu Youjian only replied lightly: "Oh, is it so critical?"

"His Majesty!"

Xu Guangqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out and said in grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, how wise and powerful you were in the past, why do you look like this now? Do you know what Daming has experienced during your time in the harem?

The emperor's dereliction of duty, this is a sign of subjugation. Now my capital of the Ming Dynasty is in a critical situation, and the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. Why do you still look like this? Where did you go in the past!His Majesty! ! ! "

Zhu Youjian yawned lazily, waved his hands and said indifferently: "Hey, what Xu Aiqing said is too serious, and I am also a human being who will get tired. You don't know what happened to Ming Dynasty when I ascended the throne. Under my means, Daming gradually regained its stability. At this point, what happened to my enjoyment after being tired for more than a year? Is there a problem?

Could it be that after a whole year of hard work, I can't even take a break? "

"But this rest of yours has completely wiped out Daming!"

Xu Guangqi was devastated and his face was full of grief.

"Hey, nothing, nothing—"

Zhu Youjian put on a bad look, and the already pessimistic mood of the courtiers suddenly became more desperate after seeing him, and they began to secretly think about the way forward.

I heard that some of the generals in the rebel army wanted to find a scholar in their families. I don’t know if I would recommend myself to be a teacher for the sons of the generals’ families. If they would agree, I should. After all, I was born in the imperial examination. Officials, more or less have a bit of reputation and value.

The emperor started to show up badly, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also gave up, and gradually started to show up badly. At this moment, there were a few bursts of laughter from outside the palace!
"Hahahahaha!

Nephew!Long time no see!Uncle, I miss you so much! ! ! "
