Ming Zuo

Chapter 213
"The two seniors are both the humerus of the country. They don't want to serve the country, so why are they acting like thieves?"

Sun Yuanhua had a stubborn temper, and fired after a simple exchange of pleasantries.

He even called Zuo Menggeng a thief.

Bi Maokang and Li Banghua were a little worried that Zuo Menggeng would get violent, but when they looked over, they found that Zuo Menggeng was content and didn't care.

Bi Maokang was not good at words, but Li Banghua spoke frankly.

"Chu Yang must know the deeds of the two of us. We have already done the thing of being loyal to the emperor. But what can we do to the country and the people? If this is the case, we are compassionate to others, and we must find another way out."

Li Banghua's current state is very holy.

Of course, he is also qualified to say so.

When it comes to being loyal to the emperor, and when it comes to saving the Ming Dynasty, he has done a lot, conscientiously, and spent all his time.

But the result...

Since there is no way to serve the country through loyalty to the emperor, it is natural for a person with ideals to find other ways.

It was extremely difficult for Sun Yuanhua to accept this idea.

"Since Your Majesty has been in power, we have cleared the eunuchs and made great efforts to rule them. Although there are occasional embarrassments, as long as we all work together, the revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

This requires Zuo Menggeng to come forward.

"Uncle Sun, forgive my little nephew for being rude. Can your generation really work together? How do you compare with the days of Tianqi when there are conflicts in the court?"

Just one sentence made Sun Yuanhua silent.

There is a miasma of smoke in the court, and anyone with a discerning eye is watching.

What do you say work together?
Not to mention Wen Tiren and Wang Yongguang's generation stirring up wind and rain, even Donglin's internal disputes are endless.

The so-called concerted efforts are nothing more than his wishful thinking.

Zuo Menggeng took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"What's more, why does uncle think Zhu Youjian so well?"

Hearing that he actually called Chongzhen by his first name, Sun Yuanhua's beard and hair were all stretched out.

"Slandering the emperor, is it the way to behave?"

Zuo Menggeng was fearless, and casually gave Sun Yuanhua a gift.

"This is what happened in the court earlier. Let's talk about it after my uncle has seen it."

Sun Yuanhua was skeptical, took it over and looked at it, and immediately became furious.

"Is there any reason? Is there any reason?"

Bi Maokang and Li Banghua didn't know why, so they took it over and looked at each other, smiling wryly.

What Zuo Menggeng brought out was the court's information in June.

Of course, it was all nonsense.

What's the first thing?

University scholar Qian Xiangkun wrote to Chongzhen, saying that the new assistant minister Wen Tiren is my teacher, so I can't be in front of him, and begs His Majesty to switch our shifts.

Chongzhen agreed.

Therefore, Wen Tiren is in such a high position!

The dignified minister, the center of a country, unexpectedly asked to let him go because of the friendship between teachers and students...

State affairs are not as good as personal friendship, isn't it funny?

If this matter is still polite and reliable, then the second information makes people vomit blood.

Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, together with Gao Hongtu, the censor of Zuoqian capital, and Liu Mao, the chief of the Bingke Zuoge, discussed the merits and demerits of the provinces in aiding troops.

What are they based on?

The time of arrival at the capital shall prevail.

Therefore, Baoding Governor Xie Jingzhuan and Baoding Chief Soldier Cao Minglei took the lead, while Gansu Governor Mei Zhihuan and Chief Soldier Yang Jiamo should be questioned.

Meow, where is Baoding, where is Gansu?
Not to mention this era, even if the transportation is so developed in later generations, it is impossible for the soldiers from Gansu to arrive at the capital earlier than the soldiers from Baoding.

What's more, Mei Zhihuan's journey was not smooth.

First, there were rebels in Gansu, so he returned to his division to suppress the bandits.Then there was a mutiny within the reinforcements, and he led the troops to put down the rebellion.

It's normal to be late.

As a result, for such a reason, Mr. Mei Zhihuan was dismissed and returned home.

With two pieces of information in front of them, who wouldn't get angry after reading them?
Sun Yuanhua also imagined that all the ministers would work together to see if they could do it?
Zuo Menggeng was destined to dispel Sun Yuanhua's thoughts.

He took out an intelligence report again.

"My nephew said that Zhu Youjian deserved to die. There is a reason."

Sun Yuanhua was a little numb, and instinctively felt that what Zuo Menggeng brought out was not a good thing, but he took it just in case.

But after only one glance, Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but groan.

"Your Majesty, where are you sending the people?"

Bi Maokang and Li Banghua were shocked, and rushed to get the information.After reading it, the two people's anger soared into the sky.

"Such a foolish king, how can there be a reason for not dying?"

"Sure enough, Zhongheng is right. Whether it's Tianqi or Chongzhen, what's the difference?"

What information was it that provoked the three to collectively break their defenses?
This news is from July.

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao gave Chongzhen a memorial.

Your Majesty, I have been a fan for four years.But I didn't get the land and yearly gifts stipulated for me.

The provincial governments and officials all use the poor people as an excuse not to give me my share.

Also please Your Majesty, for the sake of ancestors and family affection, don't let me go hungry!
The reason, at first glance, sounds right.

But you can't look at the specific data. If you look at it, your blood pressure is guaranteed to rise.

What did King Rui ask for?

Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Sichuan have rented [-] hectares of land for silver. This is not over yet, and there are still groups.

4000 shi of true-colored Lumi from the prefectures and counties of Hanzhong Prefecture and Xing’an Prefecture, 6000 shi of Zhese Lumi from seven prefectures including Xi’an, Shaanxi, 2450 taels of silver from Yanke in Sichuan, and 2000 shi of true-colored white grain from the [-] prefectures and counties of Nanzhili Suchang Second Prefecture ...

A mere vassal king needs the five provinces of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan, and Nanzhili to support him.

This is just King Rui, not the famous King Fu, King Zhou, and King Shu.

It is conceivable that the suzerain and vassal of the Ming Dynasty were harmed.

Especially at this moment, the change of Jisi is not far away, the capital is devastated, countless people are waiting to be fed, countless cities are destroyed and waiting to be repaired, and countless fields are barren and abandoned.

Just to recover from the wounds of the war, the imperial court and hundreds of officials have gone to great lengths.

At this time, King Rui went to the library to ask for money and food...

Anyone who met a normal emperor would probably be able to kill King Rui.

But how did our Chongzhen Emperor do it?
[The emperor said that the amount of land, rent, grain and other items, how can the company get it?Suo Si Le limited the release, but still strictly investigated Jie Shen. 】

Not only are the yamen required to meet King Rui's request, and to replenish them within a limited time, but also to strictly investigate the officials of the department.

What a diligent and loving Zhu Youjian! ! !

Zuo Menggeng didn't try to argue with Sun Yuanhua about the principles of the monarch and ministers, the three pieces of information are more convincing than anything else.

that's the truth.

Sun Yuanhua actually cried and passed out.

When I woke up the next day, it was like a different person.It seems that the soul is out of the body, and it seems to be stupid.

"The two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty will not collapse so easily."

Sun Yuanhua said something softly, but he didn't know who it was for.Zuo Menggeng even thought that he might be convincing himself.

It is very difficult to change a person's mind.

Especially Sun Yuanhua, who is nearly fifty years old, has developed his outlook on life, the world, and values.Even in the face of solid evidence, it is difficult to turn this corner.

He is different from Hou Xun, Cao Wenheng, Qu Shiqi, and Zhang Jimeng.

There are many interests behind these people, and the interest lies in their choices.

Zuo Menggeng was able to easily persuade those people because of this reason.

Their interests were not satisfied by the imperial power, and they saw hope in Zuo Menggeng, so they easily switched over.

But Sun Yuanhua is not that kind of person.

Although he is from the south of the Yangtze River, his family does not have any land or property, so naturally he will not be swayed by interests.

It is very difficult for such a person to turn around unless he hits his head full and is awakened by reality.

Seeing him, Zuo Menggeng remembered the great discussions and debates in the camp today.

How difficult it is to change people's minds!
However, this blow also has certain benefits.

That is, Sun Yuanhua no longer reprimanded Zuo Menggeng as a traitor at every turn, and was able to see everything on Zuozhuang's side with a normal attitude.

"You have your way, and I have mine. It's useless to say anything until there is no result. I will wait and see how well you can do it? I will try again and see Can this Ming Dynasty be saved?"

Sun Yuanhua spoke his mind.

In front of the porch where the rain was pouring, he stood against the wind, like a rock.

For some reason, what Zuo Menggeng felt from behind was the determination of a martyr.

How can such a great talent be saved?

He thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good way.

He didn't let go of this matter until he was about to go on an expedition, and returned to the state of military chief officer.

This time with Sun Yuanhua on the expedition, Zuo Menggeng planned to use two regiments, plus a company from the garrison brigade.

There are about [-] troops, and as far as participating generals are concerned, they are absolutely full.

Sun Yuanhua stayed in Zuozhuang for five days, but he never knew how many people there were in the new army.

Except for the second regiment of the first division, which has already gone to Dongchang Mansion to build a new resident, the rest of the ministries are scattered throughout Linqing.

Sun Yuanhua only thought that these people in front of him were all of Dongchang Association.

It can only be said that Zuo Menggeng's concealment strategy is well done.

　"Chongzhen Changbian Volume Thirty-six": King Rui leased [-] hectares of land from Shanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Sichuan to rent silver, and Zuo sent Hanzhong Prefecture, Xing'an Prefecture, and the counties and counties of Xing'an Prefecture. A thousand stones of Sichuan silver [-] taels of silver, [-] stones of genuine white grain in eleven prefectures and counties affiliated to the second prefecture of Nanzhili, Changzhou, and starting from the seventh day of September in the seventh year of the apocalypse to the day of the country, were all enshrined by the Ming Dynasty. The rule is never easy. Now the country is four years old, and all the ministers of the provinces excuse the people's poverty and use the money and grain of the minister's government as a loss. The poverty of the last minister is gone. Together, we can see that the year of the present pilgrimage is divided into the year of the Hajj, and the ministers will open the report to the winter month. The amount owed by each official is attached to the test results to encourage the common people to be aware that the ministers have to rely on infinite things. If there is any Si Hede Ji, the Si Le will be restricted and released, and the investigation will still be carried out.
