golden scales

At the end of September in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived in Beijing, accompanied by Jierhalang and other dignitaries left behind.Because Dorgon's march was unfavorable, the nobles of the Manchu and Qing convened a meeting of the Eight Kings to discuss the next step.Not to mention Song Hongye, even Ai Xing'a and Tan Tai are not eligible to participate, so they can only send a piece of information that says "no decision yet".

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen formally consulted the government in Prince De's Mansion and summoned all the ministers and scholars from the north.The Ministry of Officials also issued a notice to students from all over the south of the Yangtze River to go to take up official positions. For a while, anyone who is interested in official career can go to Jinan under the banner of sharing the worries of the monarch to be awarded official positions.

After Chongzhen returned to Prince De's Mansion, he seemed to be a different person.

In other words, three changes a day.

Whenever he heard the news that the Third Guards Battalion had regained their lost territory in Shanxi, he would feel tired and think of a Zen seat; Arouse the strength of Wang Kuanglan, revitalize the pride of Ming Dynasty; wait for these ministers to talk about politics... Emperor Chongzhen only has the idea of ​​killing people.

"Minister Yuan Shu, I implore the Holy Son of Heaven to return to Nanjing!" Yuan Shu knelt in front of Chongzhen, not daring to raise his head to look at that tired, weary, haggard face.

In recent days, begging Shengjia to go to Nanjing is a legitimately hot topic.All hot topics are bound to be one-sided, so there are many officials who dissuade Sheng Jia Nanxing.According to the political tradition of the Chongzhen Dynasty, this sensitive and hot topic will inevitably involve topics such as party formation, but now there are not only disputes between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, but also the disputes between the Party and the Party. fight.

Rebels are sometimes the same concept as eunuchs, and sometimes only refer to princelings.

Later, someone came forward to "pardon the rebellious officials", trying to fight against the Eastern Captives with the greatest strength. The name "Shundang" came into being.

With the Shun Party, there will naturally be people who want to set up a "Shun Case".

This is the slogan shouted by the "reverse party" in response to the Donglin party's life and death disagreement with the people in the "reverse case" entering the court.

Because a large part of the officials who voted "Shun" were related to Donglin.

Zhu Cihong just went to Jiaozhou to inspect the gun factory, and when he came back, he found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.The mess of political terms made him dizzy.Can't figure out the situation at all.

"How did I get involved with the rebellious party?" Zhu Cihong half-lyed on the bamboo recliner, with an ice cloth wrapped on his forehead.On the way back from Jiaozhou, he rushed too fast, and when he returned to Jinan, he developed a high fever and fell into a coma. After taking Yu Chang's medicine, he regained his sanity.

"Because someone said that His Highness intends to use Ruan Dacheng, and this person is the one involved in the case." Wu Sheng sat beside Zhu Cihong, not daring to speak loudly.He knows people who are sick.Whenever someone speaks louder in the ear, the head is like a needle stick.

"That's why some people say that His Highness wants to overturn the case against the party...and he is also against the party. Moreover, His Highness wants to pardon the ministers who voted against the thieves, so some people want to set up a 'successful case' and severely punish the ministers who voted for the 'successful'." Wu Sheng explained softly. .

Zhu Cihong's current state is simply unable to carefully analyze the intricate details.Of course, if he was in a normal state, he would not waste even a little bit of energy on these issues.

He nodded.I just felt that my throat was still burning, and I tried my best to say: "These people still refuse to take office?"

"Wu Xin said helplessly. The person who came up with this idea was himself. Now that the scheme has been easily thwarted by others, he still used his old tricks. This makes it difficult for Wu Xin, who has always been a self-proclaimed master, to accept it.

"Success in the examination..." Zhu Cihong closed his eyes, and said, "Those who can't complete the task will be fined with money, and those who don't have money will serve as servants to make atonement..."

Wu Zhen took a breath, and said: "Your Highness's words awakened the dreamer! It is time to practice the test and succeed." Seeing that the crown prince was exhausted, Wu Zhen did not dare to delay the rest of the prince who had the appearance of Zhongxing Mingjun.Just as Yu Chang came in with the medicine, Wu Tong was about to leave.

Zhu Cilang grabbed Wu Tong's sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't mess around with them, we must pay close attention to the work of establishing households and popularizing education."

"I understand." Wu Xuan suddenly had a sore nose, bowed quickly, and backed away.

The Zhongguan doctor who came in with Yu Chang carefully helped the crown prince up, and Yu Chang took the medicine and served Zhu Cihong to drink it himself.Zhu Cihong has always believed that the emergency prescription of Chinese medicine is limited to surgery.However, any treatment such as drinking medicine is "the illness disappears like a thread".It wasn't until I was really sick that I realized that a good doctor prescribes the right medicine, which often has immediate results.

Of course, it takes too much time to train a good doctor.Maybe only after the world is stable.Only by cultivating with the power of the whole country can we form the atmosphere and tradition.

"How does Your Highness feel today?" Yu Chang asked.

Zhu Cihong listened obstinately and drank the medicine, and said, "I spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm before, and I can finally talk."

A smile appeared on Yu Chang's face: "Your Highness is in good shape, and he will be able to walk on the ground tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Cihong was also quite relieved.This sudden illness made him think that he had contracted the plague, and he was under great psychological pressure.Fortunately, with Yu Chang here, he could already handle some simple affairs in three days.

For the past three days, Lu Suyao didn't take off her clothes, and when she was tired, she just took a nap at the desk in the office and kept an eye on the crown prince's physical condition.The queen has passed her over to scold her several times, and almost all the female officials think that it is because the attendants have not taken care of her well, and they look at her a little weirdly these days.

"Is Your Highness awake?" Yao Tao walked to Lu Suyao's side and asked in her own voice.

Lu Suyao was taken aback, she stroked her chest and said, "I just saw Mrs. Wu Ge, what's wrong with my sister?"

Yao Tao tightened the file box in her hand and said, "I have something to report to Your Highness."

"General Yu said that Your Highness should not bother you these few days." Lu Suyao said, "Even if Wu Ge is old, I dare not delay too long."

Yao Tao smiled and said: "I know, so I picked up some festive events to raise Yang Qi for His Highness."

"You are sensible." Lu Suyao pursed her lips and smiled, but there was a hint of sourness in her words.

Yao Tao returned a triumphant smile, straightened her appearance, walked into the back room, stepped forward to bless her body, and said softly: "Thousands, I have something to report."

Yu Chang gave Yao Tao a dissatisfied look, and said, "Your Highness should rest."

Zhu Cihong said, "If it's not something urgent, just talk about it."

Dealing with important matters must be in a normal state, otherwise it will be worse than ignoring them.

Yu Chang was about to explode, and thought to himself: If it's not something important, why do you listen to it?

"It's all a happy event, let His Highness know about it." Yao Tao hurriedly said: "The 25 large ships sent by Guangdong entered the port in Rizhao a few days ago, and brought [-] shi of rice from Annan. Along with the ships were Guangzhou, Haojingye Nearly [-] iron and cannon craftsmen; dozens of Taixi drilling machines, lathes, and boring machines;

Zhu Cihong was heartily pleased, with a smile on his face.

After the Portuguese stayed in Hokkaido, they called it "macau" and used it as their bridgehead to march into the Far East.For the Ming government, this area is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture.Precisely because of the existence of Macau, the heart of the Ming Dynasty, Guangzhou Mansion has also become the window of Ming Dynasty to the outside world, the distribution center of goods from the East and the West, and is becoming more and more prosperous.

Moreover, Guangzhou was also an important iron smelting town in the Ming Dynasty, and there were private iron factories everywhere, with more than [-] employees.Although they are all workshops, their output should not be underestimated.What's even more rare is that the Guangdong Iron Works also smelted alloy steel, enough to compete with Wuhu's Su Steel and the current Xu Gang.

The reason why Zhu Cihong didn't take Guangdong into his strategic plan was because the Ming court's control was too low.If there is a slap in the face from Guangdong, it will undoubtedly be used to make people beat you, and ask for trouble.

It's just that he kept secrets in the end, and he didn't expect at all: Shen Youlong, governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and governor of Guangdong, is a loyal minister, and he and Shen Tingyang are clan relatives.

Song Yingsheng, the prefect of Guangzhou, is Song Yingxing's elder brother.

There was no need for Zhu Cihong to use the righteousness of the court to order Guangdong to support Shandong. Shen Youlong and Song Yingsheng had already worked together to find enough large ships to send over the food, manpower, and material resources that Shandong urgently needed.

Originally, large lucky ships like this had to pass through the Taiwan Strait, and Zheng Zhilong had to pay a protection fee of 3000 taels for each ship.Although Zhu Cihong had not received any response to the conditions that Zhu Cihong had offered to the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong did not attack the fleet, and even sent his ships to escort them for a journey, which was a good gesture.
