Chapters 5 to 11: Thinking about Countermeasures (Overhaul)
"I don't agree!" The simple four words seemed to be shocking when Ma Shiying and the other two heard it. The emperor never rejected Shiying's proposal for it for a long time. Although it was a bit ridiculous for the emperor to only have fun, in the eyes of Ma Shiying and his ministers, these were not big things. As long as the emperor could delegate power, the major affairs of the country would naturally be done by these ministers.
But today's emperors are strange everywhere. First, they suddenly want to criticize the memorials on a whim, and then overturn the policies set by the three cabinet ministers without hesitation. If the three of them had not been familiar with the emperor's appearance, they would probably immediately wonder if someone was rushing to the emperor.
"Emperor, it is still the best way to avenge the advanced emperor by leveraging the enemy by plundering the enemy. I wonder why the emperor disagrees with it?" Ma Shiying first reacted.
"fart……"
"Your Majesty is careful." Wang Duo and Hongguang had master and apprentice Mingfen. When they heard the emperor's rude words, they were shocked and quickly stopped them.
"Let the bandits are the enemy who killed the former emperor, and the Qing barbarians are not the same. If the Qing barbarians had not invaded repeatedly and echoed with the bandits, the former emperor had already put down the bandits, so how could he be forced to hang himself? You have to use money and materials to connect the Qing barbarians, which is to damage yourself and gain the enemy. If the former emperor had any knowledge underground, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood again and die." Wang Fu said angrily. At this time, he almost forgot that he was the emperor and just wanted to scold the three uninformed ministers in front of him.
The three of them were shocked. Is this still the emperor who was confused before? They looked at each other and saw the surprised gazes in each other's eyes.
If Ma Shiying and others did not understand the cruelty and ambition of the Qing Dynasty at all, that would be a lie. However, although there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the court at present, they are completely unusable. Whether it is Zuo Liangyu or the four towns in Jiangbei, it is a good player to harm the people. Faced with bandits and Qing soldiers, they are about to collapse. The 60,000 imperial guards in Yingtian Prefecture are worse than the army of the four towns in Jiangbei. What can you do to resist the millions of troops and hundreds of thousands of Qing troops? The two harms are less serious. It is not surprising that they have the idea of joining forces to suppress the bandits.
But they didn't know that they had made the wrong direction and had defeated the rebellion. The Qing Dynasty was just at its peak. The weak and the strong were united, and they were destined to have no good end. However, the king and father had just died at the hands of the thieves, and no one thought of uniting with the thieves. Moreover, the threat of the thieves was right in front of him. The Qing Dynasty had just entered Beijing and was still far from Jiangnan, so it was not surprising that he had an illusion.
"Mr. Wang, do you think the emperor seems to have changed someone else?" Ma Shiying asked without doubt after leaving Wuying Palace. Half a year ago, no one would pay attention to a prince of Fu. Now that the prince of Fu has become the emperor, Ma Shiying and others have all supported him, but the time is too short, and the familiarity between the king and the minister is limited.
Wang Duo frowned. Of course, Wang Duo is far more familiar with this student than Ma Shiying and others, so he feels stranger. However, Wang Duo has experienced many ups and downs and knows that he can gain a foothold in Nanjing, which is not unrelated to his former emperor's teacher. Of course, he is unwilling to destroy the image of the emperor and reluctantly said: "Sir, the emperor is quite heroic when he was the prince of Fuwang. It is not surprising that he has such words."
Ma Shiying said oh and stopped asking. Although he still had some doubts about Wang Duo's words, no matter how powerful Ma Shiying was, he still had to respect the emperor. Otherwise, as long as the emperor did not support him, the Donglin Party members would immediately pull him off the throne of the chief minister.
"Sir, will this plan to suppress the enemy in the alliance? " Qian Qianyi asked.
"Of course, it must be implemented. Although the emperor's words are reasonable, it is just that the emperor first takes power and does not understand the current situation. The Ming Dynasty will never be able to withstand the joint attacks between the bandits and the Qing throne."
The three of them were silent. Yes, when the old emperor was alive, he ate and ate. After the governance of the emperor, he ended up hanging himself in a coal mountain. It was because of the attacks between the bandits and the Qing Dynasty. At present, there was only half of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not fight against the Qing barbarians and bandits at the same time.
"But the emperor's opinion is quite firm, and this matter may not be easy to deal with." Wang Duo said hesitantly.
"Then we will launch a Qing Dynasty discussion. As long as all the civil and military officials of the court agree to join forces to attack the enemy, the emperor cannot ignore it."
Qing Dynasty discussions were traditions of the Ming Dynasty. Even when Emperor Chongzhen was alive, the ministers had to compromise once they objected. It was obvious that the emperor instructed the Minister of War Chen Xinjia to discuss peace with the Qing Dynasty. After the news was leaked, Chen Xinjia had to be a scapegoat and was beheaded and abandoned, let alone Emperor Hongguang who had just succeeded to the throne.
Wang Duo disagreed a little and said, "Sir, isn't this good?"
Once the Qing Dynasty is provoked, it is equivalent to confronting the monarch and minister. Although the goal can be achieved, the consequences are difficult to predict. Ma Shiying of course is unwilling to go this far and said: "Of course, it is best not to provoke Qing Dynasty. Lord Wang is better to enter the palace more times in the past few days to persuade the emperor so that the emperor can understand the difficulties we are waiting."
"Okay, I'll try." Wang Duo sighed.
The state affairs were difficult, and the little joy before entering the palace had diluted. The three of them lost interest in speaking for a while. After leaving the palace, they bowed their hands to say goodbye.
"You must never use the enemy to suppress the enemy." Wang Fu walked around excitedly in Wuying Palace. Although he made up his mind to escape before the Qing soldiers headed south, he had just had a fight, and if he saw his ministers not paying attention to the behavior of the enemy, even if he escaped, Wang Fu would not be at ease.
Although Wang Fu didn't know the discussions between the three of them when they left Wuying Palace, he also saw that the three of them didn't agree with their strong reaction just now. The three of them were timid, but they might have other ideas in their hearts.
However, it is undoubtedly a subversive policy to use any method to stop this ridiculous policy and directly suppress the imperial power. Wang Fu thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. He was not familiar with the situation at all. It was so difficult to make a perfect decision during the slogan.
Tian Cheng went in and out several times, and saw that the emperor was just dazed and was afraid of disturbing the emperor. He had to go out again. Seeing that the world was about to get dark, Tian Cheng didn't care whether the emperor would blame him, so he came to Wang Fu and shouted softly: "Emperor, Emperor."
Wang Fu woke up in shock and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."
Wang Fu was shocked to realize that it was already dark, the palace maids had already lit up the candles, and his stomach was also roaring. He had been busy all day, and only watched the memorial at noon today, just ate a little snack. No wonder he felt hungry. He smiled embarrassedly: "Well, then let's pass on the meal."
"The emperor has given an order and has passed on the meal."
After a while, a group of eunuchs came up with various plates and placed more than a dozen dishes in front of Wang Fu. The fragrance hit Wang Fu's nose. Wang Fu's index finger moved and picked up the chopsticks and ate the sea. Tian Cheng, who was beside him, was surprised and kept saying, "Master, slow down, slow down."
Perhaps because of hunger, Wang Fu ate very sweetly, but of course it was impossible to eat more than a dozen dishes. At least two-thirds of the dishes on the table. After eating, Wang Fu felt something was wrong: "What, these dishes are just these dishes." From TV, Wang Fu saw that the Qing emperor had to eat hundreds of dishes at each meal, so why did the Ming emperor just have this little?
Wang Fu naturally didn't know that in the past, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had made more than 100 imperial chefs in one meal, but Chongzhen felt that the state was difficult. In order to raise military wages for the front line, he reduced the amount of food he used for each meal from more than 100 to twelve. Not long after Hongguang ascended the throne, he had not had time to change the system during Chongzhen.
Tian Cheng asked strangely: "Does the emperor want to add food?"
