I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 133 Conspiracy!Isn’t it worth it if 100 people die?
Qitai suddenly stood up, walked outside, looked around, and gently closed the concierge door.

"Be careful that walls have ears, what are you talking about?"

He looked deeply at Huang Zicheng and said, "You don't have any treacherous thoughts, do you?"

Qi Tai could not even think about colluding with Japanese pirates and rebels to kill the emperor's grandson.

It is one thing to fight for power, but it is another thing to really murder Zhu Yunxi.

Although he believed that Zhu Yunwen should be made the emperor's grandson and inherit the throne.

But now Zhu Yunxuan is the crown prince appointed by Lao Zhu himself.

He just wanted to help Zhu Yunqi to the top, not to cause Zhu tomorrow's rebellion.

"What are you thinking? Am I a traitor!" Huang Zicheng said righteously.

He always believed that he was doing the right thing.

Loyal to His Majesty and loyal to Daming, that's why we have to trace the source and support Zhu Yunqi.

This is also considered a characteristic of Ming Dynasty.

The later Donglin Party members all promised themselves that "the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of reading are in their ears, and they care about family affairs, state affairs, and the world."

In their view, everything they do is for the good of Ming Dynasty and the good of the world.

As for how many adverse consequences this has caused, we don’t care.

Anyway, my original intention is good!
Huang Zicheng is a typical representative, and he also thinks so.

"What do you mean?" Qi Tai asked in a low voice.

"The Japanese pirates' rebellion this time all originated from the increase in business taxes suggested by His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Huang Zicheng was indignant and said: "When the plan to increase commercial taxes came out, I strongly opposed it."

"What's the proper way for the imperial court to compete with businessmen for profit?"

"I hate Zhao Jing, Zhao Mian and others. They are short-sighted, follow the trend, and blindly cater to the emperor's grandson. They only see that raising business taxes can solve the temporary financial difficulties of the imperial court, but they don't see that this is destroying the foundation of our Ming Dynasty forever!"

He stamped his feet fiercely and said: "It's good now. The increase in commercial taxes has only been introduced for a long time, and they have caused such a big mess. If they continue to mess around like this, can the Ming Dynasty still be stable? ?”

He paused, and then said: "The business tax increase is not over yet, and the sea ban is going to be lifted. Can this be done casually?"

"The maritime ban has not yet been lifted, and Japanese pirates are already causing harm everywhere."

"Once the sea ban is lifted, Japanese pirates can easily mix among businessmen. Coupled with the collusion between some unscrupulous people and Japanese pirates, the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River will never have peace."

"In the reform of the Advisory Office, everything is required to be kept secret. It will be difficult for scholars to grasp public opinion in the future. If they put pressure on the court, they can only watch him do whatever they want."

Huang Zicheng was heartbroken.

Some reforms made scholars lose their power.

I am even more anxious about the future.

"I used to think that he could write poetry, which is considered a bit of talent."

"I never thought that it would be so frustrating."

"Holding talents and being arrogant, changing the law at will, and doing whatever you want. His majesty seems to be possessed by evil, and he is extremely favored by him."

"If he continues like this and inherits the throne in the future, the Ming Dynasty will probably be destroyed in his hands."

Qi Tai remained silent. His thoughts were similar to Huang Zicheng's.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yunzhen is talented.

But being talented has little to do with being able to govern the country well.

Empress Li is also very talented!
In the eyes of these people, only those who are mature can run a country.

But Zhu Yunzhen's mind was unstable. Although he was smart, his various whims and whims were completely unconstrained.

It makes them feel uneasy, scared.

The establishment of the Advisory Office and the Military Affairs Office allowed them to see Zhu Yunxun's political skills, which further aggravated this fear.

A future emperor who firmly holds power in his own hands and is unwilling to be "restrained" by their scholars, who knows what he will do?
"What do you mean?" Qitai asked.

Huang Zicheng said: "The Japanese pirates fought and the Songjiang Mansion was occupied. Now is the best opportunity."

"First, I mobilized all my colleagues in Beijing to write a letter to persuade His Majesty to give up the increase in commercial taxes, and at the same time promised to never lift the maritime ban."

Qi Tai nodded and said, "This is the truth."

"The business tax increase has caused a lot of trouble. Giving it up now is a way to make up for it. It's not too late."

"Until the Japanese pirates are pacified, it is absolutely impossible, and even more inappropriate, to lift the maritime ban."

"I will jointly submit a letter to remonstrate with His Majesty."

Huang Zicheng said: "You and I both understand this truth, but with His Majesty's favor and trust in His Majesty the Grand Sun, he may not be able to listen to it. We have to think of other ways."

He stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"Secondly, His Highness Taisun opened the Jinling Military Academy to train new troops. He claimed to be a special soldier. He also used military secrets as an excuse to prevent me from interrogating. I have never figured out what is so strange!"

"The way of ghosts and gods is far away, and it may not be useful on the battlefield."

"I heard that His Majesty has issued an order to summon Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, Chang Sheng, Duke of Founding, and Sun Ke, Marquis of Quanning, back to Beijing."

"In total, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is closest to the capital and can be rushed back overnight."

"I still have a little friendship with him."

"His Royal Highness Taisun is going to lead [-] new troops on an expedition. I'm afraid that this will harm the country. I can ask him to intercept the new troops on the road and test the truth. If so, he can open the cover of the new army."

"This strategy is feasible!" Qi Tai said: "Cao Guogong has won the trust of your majesty and is in charge of the governor's office of the left army. It is very appropriate for him to stop the new army and test the reality."

"Third," Huang Zicheng's voice became much lower.

"To be honest, Xu Dongjiang, the current magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture, and I have been friends since the same age. I will write a letter to let him..."

"Absolutely not!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Tai.

"Are you crazy? Do you really want to murder the emperor's grandson? Forgive me for not being able to accompany you on this matter!"

"No!" Huang Zicheng shook his head.

"It's just to scare him and let this battle be defeated. He has five hundred brocade guards personally led by Jiang Yu. If the situation is wrong, he will naturally evacuate, so there is no danger."

"That's not possible!" Qi Tai said seriously: "The people of Jiaxing Prefecture are so innocent. How can we ignore the hundreds of thousands of Jiaxing residents because of the imperial struggle?"

"Confused!"

Huang Zicheng reprimanded: "As ministers of the imperial court, we should pretend to be Kyushu Wanfang and the entire Great Tomorrow."

"Compassion does not command soldiers, love does not stand up."

"Let me ask you, are the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing Prefecture more important, or are the hundreds of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty more important?"

"What's more, I only mean to let the emperor suffer a defeat, and I don't mean to hand over Jiaxing Mansion to the Japanese pirates and rebels."

"If he can abolish his position as the crown prince, what does it matter if 1 people die, 10 people die, or 100 million people die? Isn't it worth it?"

"Do you want to watch him ascend the throne as emperor and bring disaster to Daming?"

"If possible, I, Huang Zicheng, would be the first to die! Do you, Qitai, only know how to protect yourself? Did I misjudge you?"

What he said was straightforward.

There is a great momentum of sacrificing one's life to pursue the path. Even though there are thousands of people, I will go there.

I think I have the truth and everything I do is correct, but I don’t know that I have gone astray and gone further and further.

Qi Tai's expression gradually weakened.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Is this really the only way?"

Huang Zicheng said: "If you don't stop, you will be disturbed."

Qi Tai remained silent for a long time.

After a quarter of an hour, he stood up, walked a few steps, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"You are the left minister of the Ministry of War. All you need to do is..." Huang Zicheng's voice became lower and lower.
