Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 441
Wang Zhixin was shocked. He looked at Zhu Changyuan in a daze for a second, then seized the opportunity decisively, and said to Zhu Changyuan: "The Ming Dynasty is dead, and now the prince commands the world, and the heroes of the world dare not to obey. Since he is the lord of the world, it is natural to do so." Live in Qianqing Palace!"

"Hmm!" Zhu Changyuan smiled, and walked towards Qianqing Palace, which used to be the residence of Emperor Chongzhen, but now, it is empty and there is no one there.

Slowly walking up the white jade steps step by step, looking at the wide field in front of him, Zhu Changyuan looked around slightly.

There are two stone platforms on the east and west sides, and on each side of the stone platform are placed a bronze tortoise and a crane, which symbolize the longevity of the tortoise and crane, and the eternal life of the country.

Zhu Changyuan's face was calm, he sighed deeply, pointed to the turtles and cranes and said, "Has this thing been placed at the gate of Qianqing Palace for some years?"

Wang Zhixin came up to talk to her, but was stopped by Zhu Changyuan.

"Go, let's take a look inside!" Turning around, he was facing a huge house with double eaves, as if he was facing a towering hill. This ancient building gave him an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"Squeak!" Wang Zhixin opened the middle one of the nine south doors, then lowered his head and respectfully stood by the door and said, "My lord, please come in!"

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and then entered from the outside door.

Although it is suppressed by the heavy roof, the vicissitudes of life are thick and heavy from the outside, giving people a gloomy feeling, but it is only after entering the hall that the light inside is very bright.

"No wonder it is the head of the three halls in the harem!" Zhu Changyuan praised as he walked!In the middle of the main hall, on the north side, there is a throne. The throne is raised high, more than one meter above the ground.

Then, the entire hall was empty, except for a large emperor's bedroom, there was also a study room isolated near the east and south sides.

"That's right!" There was no heating tool in the room, and there was no burning charcoal basin, but Zhu Changyuan could clearly feel that the temperature in the room was a little higher than outside.

"The widow will live here tonight!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Zhixin, who had been following behind his buttocks, and said, "Are there no more emperors and concubines?"

Wang Zhixin thought that Zhu Changyuan was about to get involved, so he put on a sad face and said, "The empress and concubine Yuan Gui hanged themselves, and all the other concubines were killed by the late emperor. The people who live in the harem now, except those old ladies from the previous dynasty Apart from the concubine, there is no one else."

"If the lord needs someone to serve you, I will look for it!" Wang Zhixin thought that this was an excellent opportunity to curry favor with Zhu Changyuan and should not be wasted, so he paid special attention to Zhu Changyuan's words.

"No need!" Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, his mind was not on this, but was already preparing for another matter.

"I heard that the former queen lived in this palace. I don't know where she is now?" Zhu Changyuan was talking about Zhang Yan, and he asked Wang Zhixin in a serious manner.

Wang Zhixin was taken aback, not knowing how to answer this question.

In fact, not many people knew about the fact that Zhu Changyuan picked up the former empress Zhang Yan from the palace. Even though he drove the plane around the capital that day, everyone knew that the person on the plane was Zhu Changyuan.

However, no one knew that Zhang Yan was also on the plane.

"This!" Because he didn't know what Zhu Changyuan's intention was, Wang Zhixin could only tell the truth: "As far as I know, Empress Zhang disappeared after the death of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know where she went? It was all my fault. The scene was chaotic and the officials couldn't control it, and the eunuchs and maids in the palaces were busy running, so there was no investigation!"

This is the truth, the emperor didn't care about the situation at that time, who would care about the life and death of a former empress?
"As far as I know, the first queen died when the bandit army invaded the inner city, didn't she?" Zhu Changyuan said lightly, and looked up at Wang Zhixin with a questioning look on his face.

Wang Zhixin didn't know how to answer for a moment, Qiqi Ai said a few words, raised his head with a crying face and bowed his body, and said to Zhu Changyuan: "Yes, yes, yes! What the prince said is very true!"

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "In this case, quickly find the empress's body, and prepare for the funeral in the next year, and bury it with Emperor Xizong!"

"what?"

Wang Zhixin just followed Zhu Changyuan's words, but now it's a good thing, the boss asked him to find the empress's body, what does this mean?The key is that the queen is really missing, where can I find it?

"Go!" Zhu Changyuan sent Wang Zhixin away, and called Polu, Guo Cheng, and Wang Wu. The three of them led a thousand soldiers to garrison the inner city, and ordered Cheng Bujing to lead the rest of the army to garrison the outer city of the capital. It's not to prevent someone from attacking the city. Zhu Changyuan believes that no one has the courage to come to the capital to act wildly now.

This is just a ceremony, a signal to the people of the world, telling the princes and people of the world that the widow is coming!

Zhu Changyuan lit the lights in the main hall, and ordered people to set up several braziers in the hall to increase the temperature in the room, and then took out a book at random in the South Study Room and read it.

He sat upright in the study room, holding a copy of "Xiao Dai Li Ji" to read, but his mind was completely useless on this book, and he was thinking wildly, his mind was in chaos.

The tsunami was over, Da Ming was dead, and he was in this position.

Next, there are countless things waiting for him to do, such as building the railway, not only the railway from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang, but also the Beijing-Kowloon Railway from the capital to Guangdong and Guangxi.

This is a big project, and it is also a great challenge for him. How to ensure that the railway can be completed within the remaining six years is the key.

There is also the thermal power plant in Jinzhou City. Although construction has started now, it will not happen overnight. Even if the most advanced equipment is used, even if a series of procedures for inspection and acceptance can be omitted, it will not take two years. May be put into use.

And this brand new Ming Dynasty that is about to be acquired or has already been acquired, how should it be governed?Is it to imitate the feudal model of previous dynasties, to be a king who dominates one side, and to rule the world with one word?Or should we change the political system to completely eliminate the emperor or implement a constitutional monarchy?

These are all headaches.

There are also these small surrounding countries. Although Li Zicheng and the others have set their own tasks, they also need to have a general policy. Which country will be the main one at what time?

The Ming Dynasty fell, and the area north of the Yangtze River was severely damaged by the war, especially in Shandong, Henan, and the surrounding areas of the capital. There were no people in ten, and the world was barren. How to resume production?

Although the south of the Yangtze River was not devastated by the war, there were greater contradictions and hidden dangers waiting for Zhu Changyuan to deal with than the Jiangbei area, otherwise it was very likely to plant a big explosive bag for the entire dynasty.

Because it has been more than 270 years since the early years of the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River has undergone nearly 300 years of annexation and occupation, and it has changed beyond recognition.

Ordinary people have no land, go bankrupt, become long-term laborers or even slaves of the landlord class; and the land in the hands of the landlord class is increasing, and the amount is even terrible.

For example, Gu Changzuo from Songjiang Prefecture, Wang Ranming from Huizhou Prefecture, and the Henan Kang family who spans eighteen counties and has Shanxi on its head and Shandong on its feet.

These behemoths are cancerous tumors of the empire. They vary in size but have spread to all parts of the body. If the mess is not cut quickly, there will definitely be big problems in the future.

How can this be done?
Take back those lands directly?impossible.

Because the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty are basically the landlord class. If the land in their hands is given away, will they not rebel?How will the empire work then?
You must know that even a wise man like Grandpa Mao who comes out every 500 years did not openly fight landlords when the country was first founded, but it intensified after the great geming more than ten years later, completely liberating the land of the whole country.

Zhu Changyuan wanted to take out the land in the hands of all landlords, Zhu Changyuan wanted to take the land back to the country, and Zhu Changyuan wanted to distribute the land to farmers and organize sales.

However, none of these things can be accomplished overnight.

To deny the landlord is to deny the feudal government, to deny the emperor himself!
In the evening, Zhu Changyuan had a casual meal, and then he was studying in the study, when he received a call from Riyue Island, saying that two days ago, Cao Huachun took Zhang Yan, Chen Yuanyuan, Xiaohe and the princess to leave the island and head towards the capital. come over.

"How is Queen Zhang doing now?" Zhu Changyuan asked Cao Huachun over the phone.

Cao Huachun took the phone and said excitedly: "My lord, my lord, is this King Yanming?"

Zhu Changyuan was amused by him, and said: "Yes, you old bastard, answer me quickly!"

"Ah!" Cao Huachun sighed, and said, "The empress has experienced the pain of subjugation. Although her body has improved, her mental state is very poor. In addition, she is thinking about His Royal Highness day and night, this, this..."

Cao Huachun was about to cry as he spoke.

"Okay, I know!" Zhu Changyuan interrupted his choking, and said: "Cao Gong can send a few confidantes to secretly search for the crown prince, and when he finds it, he can bring it to the queen to make her happy."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Cao Huachun was taken aback, and thought to himself: What does this mean?Could it be that King Yanming wanted to kill all the descendants of the first emperor?
This stumped the old eunuch, if he had a deep affection for the crown prince Zhu Cihong, deep down in his heart he definitely did not want Zhu Changyuan to capture the crown prince.

But now he is Zhu Changyuan's courtier?
How is this good?

Cao Huachun's six gods are in vain, thinking in his heart that he will advise King Yanming in the future, try to protect the former prince as well as possible.

Zhu Changyuan was sitting in the room reading a book under the light, and the poor came to report outside: Hao Ge pays homage and comes to thank you!

"Hauge?" Zhu Changyuan moved slightly when he heard Hauge's name, and then said with a smile: "So, I should have named him King of Siberia, and he came to thank you. I just don't know if he goes to Siberia in the future, what will happen to him?" I will not scold widows!"

"Let's pass it on!" Zhu Changyuan put the book on the desk and waved to Polu!
