Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 90 Retaining the Great Xian

Qian Tonghe talked about the deepest weakness in his heart, and saw that Shi Kefa understood the difficulties of the court and himself, and cried repentantly. Chongzhen's eyes were red, and he said to San'er: "Help Shi Aiqing up for my father."

Lu Mou helped up the crying Shi Kefa and said: "Xiao Wang sincerely asks Shi Bingbu to stay in Beijing for a while and visit various places in Zhili to feel the benefits of the New Deal to the people and the country before returning to Nanjing."

This time, Shi Kefa no longer argued and bowed deeply: "Wei Chen wrongly blamed the prince, but I will not stay in Beijing."

Lu Mou was a little disappointed.

Shi Kefa hurriedly explained: "We should go back as soon as possible, and force the ministers who stayed in Nanjing to remedy the situation immediately. Return all the exorbitant taxes and salaries collected to the people, spread the holy grace, calm the people's complaints, and let Jiangnan return to peace and stability." .Become the cornerstone of Ming Dynasty”

Lu Mou breathed a sigh of relief. Zhengchen just dares to face his own mistakes and correct them.

Only with such people in the South can the New Deal be implemented smoothly. When the time comes, we can regain Shandong, open up Henan, and connect Jiangnan and Beijing. That will be the support of the people of Jiangnan, and that will be a complete Ming Dynasty.

Of course, we have to wait another two or three years to see what Li Zicheng achieves.

Holding Shi Kefa’s hand: “Promote the New Deal, refund miscellaneous taxes, and fight against taxes and donations.

At the same time, according to the theory I have come here, the New Deal will also force the gentry and landlords to reduce the land rents of tenant farmers. In this way, the tragedy of the common people colluding with bandits and massacring the gentry and landlords will never happen again. In this way, we can truly make the country prosperous and the people strong. "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When I return to the south of the Yangtze River, I will also travel to various places to persuade the gentry and the common people to reduce rents and interest rates. This will alleviate people's grievances."

Lu Mou said nothing more, because it is unrealistic for you to talk about fighting landlords with the ancient scholar class. It's better to wait for Li Zicheng and do what he can't do for himself.

And what he has to do is to occupy the northwest, cut off Li Zicheng's way back to the north, and let him only make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River for a few years. By then, won't the south ignore the affairs of the north? Well, then I will let the southerners look forward to the northern king's division to relieve the people.

Shi Kefa said to Chongzhen again: "You are worried about the humiliation of your ministers, and you will die if you humiliate them. I will immediately return to the south of the Yangtze River and try every means to bring the taxes that I have to pay after staying in the south of the Yangtze River for three years to the capital for national use. When these things are completed , I ask the emperor to punish me, even if I die and my family is destroyed, it will be difficult to atone for my sin."

Chongzhen stood up, smiled at Shi Kefa and comforted him: "As long as Shi Aiqing calms down this trend and continues to implement the New Deal, it will be a waste of merit.

Dear Sir, last time rogue bandits fled to Huguang, King Xiangyang was killed, and three princes were killed. All their fiefdoms, except for giving each of their surviving children a hundred acres of livelihood, were all nationalized according to the New Deal. Aiqing organized the landless people in Jiangnan to move and contract. Once this policy is completed, I will give you another reward. "

Shi Kefa was moved again. The emperor and King Ding had both attacked his own family, so what could the officials in Jiangnan say? No matter what I say, let alone being disloyal as a minister, not being a good person means that I am not kind as a person.

"Sir, obey the order."

Chongzhen glanced at San'er, and then said with a solemn expression: "I have issued an edict to remove Zhao Zhilong who stayed in Nanjing because he failed to carry out the imperial edict and caused civil unrest. He was imprisoned and his family property was confiscated. The eunuch who stayed in Nanjing was Qian Tonghe and was taken over. The eunuch left in Nanjing was removed. Wang Yiren will be beheaded on the spot. His family property will be confiscated."

Now, Chongzhen no longer kills ministers indiscriminately, but the eunuchs are his own slaves. If you kill your own slaves to establish your authority, you monkeys have no objection.

"Wang Cheng'en."

Wang Chengen immediately stood up: "My servant is here."

"You serve as the eunuch left in Nanjing and cooperate with Zhou Aiqing and Shi Aiqing to handle the affairs in Jiangnan."

"The slaves obey the order."

"It is decreed that Gao Hongtu, the co-shou of Nanjing, will be imprisoned and his family property will be confiscated. Zhou Bingren will be resurrected and appointed as the co-shou of Nanjing." This appointment is the most appropriate. No one can question Wang Chengen's loyalty. He listens to Chongzhen's words the most. He is absolutely Can perfectly implement all arrangements of Chongzhen. And this arrangement is equivalent to pushing Shi Kefa to the position of the first person left behind in Nanjing.

Then he looked at Chen Que.

Chen Que's performance today fell into Lu Mou's eyes. As soon as he saw that his father was going to arrange for Chen Que, he immediately stood up and said, "My dear, please keep Mr. Chen in Beijing. Next spring, my dear, I want to ask my father to open a subject to get a scholar, and Mr. Chen can be the chief examiner."

As soon as Chongzhen saw his son standing up, he felt inexplicably good. I also heard my son's wish that the imperial examination, which had been suspended for two terms, would be resumed next spring. I was very happy at that time.

This shows that his son has absolute confidence and will continue the stable situation until next year. During this time, he was able to sleep peacefully: "Okay, I'll follow the emperor's recommendation." Then he turned to look at Chen Que.

Chen Que stood up and saluted: "I obey the emperor's arrangements."

"Well, I have heard of your talents and thoughts for a long time. Although the Imperial College has been disbanded, I appoint you to be the Imperial College's sacrificial wine and restore the Imperial College to its former glory. You can train batches of practical and useful talents for Ming Dynasty. "

Facing Chongzhen's arrangement, all the ministers were overjoyed. What they were rejoicing about was the emperor, King Ding's confidence in the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty.

Ji Ying Dian Zhao Dui, a successful conclusion.

After watching Shi Kefa and Wang Chengen and Qian Tonghe take office, a tired Lu Mou returned to his palace.

Now, in order to facilitate the reception of foreign guests, even though Lu Mou was young, Chongzhen still asked him to leave the palace and stay away. He rewarded him with his late residence, the original Xinwang Palace, as Dingwang Palace.

It shows how much Chongzhen loves the current King Ding and how high his expectations are for him.

After returning home, before washing and resting, the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Master Chen Que wants to see you."

He immediately put on one of the socks that he had taken off and waved: "Hurry up and greet him. Forget it, I'll go in person." He put on his shoes, threw them off, and then took off one of his socks and threw it away.

Walking backwards to meet others is the respect for talents. It doesn't matter whether Cao Cao did what he did back then. He must act like a courteous and virtuous corporal in order to recruit what he considers to be a truly alien scholar.

With one bare foot, he trotted out of the palace gate and grabbed Chen Que's hand: "Come on, let's go in, drink, chat and sing karaoke."

Chen Que came to go through the process and thank King Ding for his recommendation. It's just a matter of paying a visit, chatting, and then leaving the house to find a place to live.

Unexpectedly, King Ding ran out to greet him with one foot bare.

In this age of strict hierarchy, Chen Que was moved by such courtesy. I was so moved that I was inspired to die for King Ding with no regrets from now on.

Pulling Chen Que inside, Lu Mou ordered the eunuch: "Go quickly, invite Mr. Li Yan and Duke Zhang to come over and tell them that I have captured a great sage. Come over quickly and celebrate with me."

Chen Que covered his face, I am Daxian and I admit it, but why did you catch one? Now, I just threw myself into a trap and came to you on my own initiative, okay?
