Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 6 Chongzhen, you have neither the knowledge of people nor the ability to use people!
Seeing his daughter staring at the phone screen, Emperor Chongzhen leaned over to look at her too.

It was found that words appeared on the shiny side of the iron box!

It's just that the text is weird.

Missing arms and legs.

Although he can basically guess what the word is, he can't read it fluently.

At this time, I heard Zhu Yu say: "Father, the books of the Great Xia Kingdom should be read horizontally from left to right."

"Oh."

Chongzhen was stunned.

He just said, how could I suddenly become illiterate.

After he understood the words above, Chongzhen frowned even tighter.

The approximate content on the phone is as follows -

"According to historical records, there were 28 main ministers who died for the country after the capital was captured by intruders, including 21 civil servants and seven relatives.

There are about a thousand other subjects who died for the country!

Compared to the Ming capital with a population of tens of millions, this number is naturally small.

But as far as life is concerned, this number is extremely astonishing and touching.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen often said that it was wrong that there were no loyal and virtuous ministers to use, but he had no knowledge of people, let alone the ability to use others! "

Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't help clenching his fists, clenching his teeth, and at the same time reflected.

Having been the emperor for 17 years, even though he is blunt and has not received the inheritance of the emperor's power skills, his experience and knowledge have finally increased.

Thinking back at this moment, I found that he had indeed misjudged and used the wrong person repeatedly, so that the country was ruined to this point!

'If I were to die, I would have no face to face the ancestors of the Emperor Ming! '

When he came back to his senses, he looked down again.

"People who die for the country dare not say they are virtuous, but at least they are loyal ministers, and they will not open the door to welcome thieves.

I'm listing a few names that I hope you'll put to good use during this final day.

Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Bachelor of Dongge University, is said to be the only cabinet minister who died for the country. The rest of the cabinet ministers seem to have been obedient ministers who broke into the army, or even obedient ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

The remaining people are: Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs and bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

Li Banghua, the censor of the left capital.

Shi Bangyao, deputy imperial envoy of Zuodu.

Ling Yiqu, Minister of Dali Temple.

Wang Jiayan, Minister of the Ministry of War and Assistant Manager of Jingying Rongzheng.

Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment.

Wu Linzheng, Minister of Taichang Temple.

Shen Jiayun, the prime minister of Taipusi.

Zuo Yu Dema Shiqi.

Zuo Shuzi Zhou Fengxiang.

Wu Gan came to the household department.

Review Wang Wei.

Liu Lishun was compiled by the number one scholar and the Imperial Academy.

Yu Shi Chen Chunde, Chen Liangmo, Zhao Yi.

Wai Lang Xu Zhi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhong Chengde, a doctor of the Ministry of War, Jin Xuan, a member of the Ministry of War, and Yu Tengjiao, the prime minister of Guanglu Temple.

Jin Yiwei commander Wang Guoxing, Jin Yiwei commander Li Ruolian, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Gao Wencai.

It seems that Luo Yangxing is the leader of Jinyiwei at this time?
He is a standard speculator. He first voted for Li Zicheng and then Jiannu, and was reused as the first Han governor who built slaves.

Also, I heard that Li Zicheng copied his salary and got 3 taels from him.

In addition, Chen Zhenda, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Yao Cheng, deputy soldier Ma Si, Song Tianxian, Teng Zhisuo, Ruan Wengui from Zhongshushe, Zhang Yingxuan, and Mao Wei, Zhang Rushi, Zhang Shixi, etc. who died in Yanghewei.

In terms of relatives, there are Gong Yonggu, Huian Bo, Zhang Qingzhen, Xuancheng Bowei Shichun, Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing, etc. recorded. "

Seeing this list, Chongzhen felt very complicated.

Although these people, as ministers of the Ming Dynasty, should live and die with the country, and repay the king with death.

But looking at the rest of those who did not choose to die for their country, but turned to robbers and slaves, you will know how difficult it is to die for your country in the face of the great terror between life and death.

Even himself, he didn't make up his mind to live and die with the capital, he thought about breaking out when the city was broken.

It can be seen from this that, as that Mr. Hao said, these people, regardless of their abilities, must be loyal to him and Daming.

It's a pity that almost no one on this list has been reused by him.

Just like Fan Jingwen, he can be said to be the one he dislikes the most among the few remaining cabinet ministers, because Fan Jingwen's words always don't please him and are not pleasant to listen to.

However, this courtier whom he somewhat disliked was the only one among the cabinet ministers who died for the country.

So what about Wei Dezao, Li Jiantai, and Chen Yan, the chief assistant he trusts more?

Most of them have surrendered thieves, or even slaves, right?

Just as Chongzhen's thoughts were flying, Hao Guangming sent several paragraphs of text.

"I heard that when the inner city was breached in the early morning of the [-]th, you rang the Jingyang bell to go to court for the last time, or to discuss something, but none of the civil and military officials arrived.

So in desperation, you ordered the concubines and maids to commit suicide, killed several daughters, and ran to the crooked locust tree next to the Wanshou Pavilion in Meishan (Jingshan) and hanged yourself.

When you were dying, you thought you had no words to face your ancestors, so you covered your face with hair, and wrote a blood letter on the lining of your clothes, begging the intruders not to hurt the people in the city.

It was the eunuch Wang Cheng'en who accompanied you through the last part of the journey. After you committed suicide, he also committed suicide.

Regarding the fact that you rang the Jingyang bell and no courtiers came, we have a guess at this time.

It is said that the inner city of the capital was broken at that time, and most of the courtiers were outside the imperial city, so at that time, the loyal courtiers either died in battle and died for the country before you, or were blocked by trespassers and rioters, which led to no one coming to join. "

After reading these words, Chongzhen couldn't help being dazed for a while.

Thinking about it, committing suicide in despair, ordering concubines and maids to commit suicide, embarrassing one's face with hair, etc., really resembles his style of conduct.

As for killing his daughter with his own hands, he didn't know if he would do that under extreme circumstances, but he didn't want to believe that he did it.

At this time, Hao Guangming sent another text.

"I'm telling you this because I hope you can give it another go. Even if you can't turn things around and change your fate, it's good to buy two more days to make arrangements for the funeral."

After reading it, Chongzhen, who was at a loss in his heart, finally had a real goal.

He took a deep breath, and immediately said to Aimee Zhu: "Aimee, you quickly copy down the names of the loyal ministers who died in the country, the emperor will use them and fight against the intruders together with them!"

"Yeah!" Auntie Zhu was also very excited and immediately agreed, but then she remembered something that Hao Guangming had reminded her before, so she said: "Father, what Mr. Hao said are all historical materials written by later generations, and may not be all true. what."

Chongzhen couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "Of course I know this, in fact, the above mentioned names and official positions are wrong.

But even if there are a few mistakes, it's better than the ones I'm using now who are going to open the door to meet thieves, right? "

indeed.

Auntie Zhu nodded and immediately began to copy the list.

Chongzhen came to the outside of the hall and said to the eunuch guarding the gate: "Go and call Wang Chengen."

The eunuch took orders and left.

Chongzhen summoned three more Jinyiwei (big Han generals) and said, "Hurry up and send Li Ruolian, Wang Guoxing, and Gao Wencai here."

"As ordered!"

When the three guards left, Chongzhen couldn't help but look over to the sound of cannons and shouts of killing on the outer city wall, momentarily dazed.

But it didn't take long before he heard Aimee Zhu's shout.

"Father, Mr. Hao has written again!"

Chongzhen immediately returned to the palace.

Auntie Zhu showed him the phone.

But I saw the following text on it.

"I checked a lot of information, and it was said that it was the night of the [-]th, that is to say, the outer city of the capital will be breached tonight.

The direct reason was that someone opened the Guangning Gate—the most widely circulated theory was that the city guard eunuch Cao Huachun led someone to open it, or other eunuchs.

But this statement may not be true, because there are also many historical materials to prove that Cao Huachun had already returned to his hometown for six years at this time.

Therefore, what is certain here is that the Guangning Gate is most likely to be opened.If you can be careful, you may be able to watch for two more days. "

After watching Chongzhen frowned.

It really can't be Cao Huachun, because Cao Huachun really returned to his hometown to retire.

So who opened the Guangning Gate?

I don't know who it is, how should I guard against it?

Auntie Zhu was also thinking about this issue, and she thought longer than Chongzhen. Seeing Chongzhen frowning, she said boldly: "Father, if you don't know who opened the Guangning Gate, why not send more trustworthy officials with more troops to protect this place?" Door."

Chongzhen nodded, "That's the only way to go."

The crisp sound of water droplets sounded again.

Chongzhen was no longer surprised, and looked directly at the phone screen.

"Although I have never fought a war, I also know that defending a city requires not only people, but also money.

Li Zicheng was also very short of money, and hated corrupt officials. After he entered Beijing, he began to copy the salaries of officials, nobles, gentry, and wealthy people in the capital. It is said that he finally copied 8000 to [-] million taels, as well as many antique calligraphy and paintings.

Although this data is not credible, it also shows that the above-mentioned people are very rich, and in the end they made Li Zicheng and Jiannu cheaper.

I also heard that you once asked your courtiers to donate money for military pay, even if you included the eunuchs in the palace, you only got 20 taels in the end.

Now that the capital is at stake, although you can't follow Li Zicheng's example and torture all the rich people, you can make a crime and directly copy the homes of those who are sure to turn to Li Zicheng and build slaves. "
