Chapter 7 Negotiation or banquet

…………

The report to Your Majesty, the negotiators of the Break Army had arrived outside the city and requested to enter the city.

Here they finally arrived.

It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

God has given me time and opportunity. Under this historical sky, will I be a flag passing by or a towering tower? Let’s look at what I have today.

Cme n, baby!If the soldiers come and generals block the water and soil, let me, the ordinary beings in my previous life, meet these two wise men in this world...

Wang Kefei corrected himself, cheered up and shouted loudly:

Accurate, please invite the envoy.

Your Majesty has an order to invite an envoy.

Your Majesty has an order, and you have an envoy.

Emperor Wang's oral orders were conveyed downward layer by layer in the tone of the little yellow sects.

Change my clothes.

Several young eunuchs quickly took out the dragon robe and crown, took off his regular clothes and crowns, and served them neatly.

The dragon robe is the exclusive clothing of ancient Chinese emperors and emperors. It is mainly yellow silk, embroidered with dragon, zodiac patterns and twelve chapter patterns. The patterns are exquisite and complex, the flowers are delicate and full, the brocade is like the gorgeous clouds, and the gauze is like the light wings of the cicada, representing supreme power.

It is only worn when it is in important occasions such as court or daily lectures, preaching, paying homage tombs, offering prisoners, and reading. To put it bluntly, it is the emperor's work clothes.

On the second day of rebirth, Wang Kefei wore a dragon robe that symbolized the Nine Five Lords for the first time.

Rotate around the bronze mirror for a while.

Yes, not to mention, this outfit is really exciting...

Li Yanniu Jinxing and others walked on foot. Under the guidance of the eunuch, they crossed the moat, crossed the layers of guards, connected to the Duan Gate and the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinyu Bridge, and headed straight to the Huangji Palace.

They looked solemn and frowned.

Beijing City is indeed worthy of being the capital of the emperor!

Both business and culture seem unique, with passers-by coming and going from street to street, and inns, restaurants, teahouses, money houses, etc., are booming.

On the city walls and on the official streets, the Ming army stood with guns everywhere, with awe-inspiring army. The huge city that lasted dozens of miles long was magnificent and magnificent!

The flags and the armor and soldiers were majestic above the city. This is not like Du Xun said that the morale of the army was dispersed and there was no fighting spirit.

The eunuch is wrong!This great cause of the King of Breaking is almost destroyed by these eunuchs who are scattered.

Such an army, coupled with such a majestic city, said that the Chuangjun lacks powerful weapons to siege the city. Even if there are a few general artillery, even if they try their best, it will cause significant losses. Once the imperial army arrives, the Chuangjun will definitely fall into a desperate situation.

This matter is quite serious. According to the spy's response, Wu Sangui's troops have already reached the Yutian area, and the Wu army is famous for its ability to fight and should not be underestimated.

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly. The negotiations had already unified the pace in their hearts.

Li Yan summoned a follower beside him and ordered in a soft voice:

Go back and report what you see today to the King of Breaking, and be harmonious.

The last one will obey the order.

The follower quietly pulled out and returned to the camp.

In fact, in order to create today's negotiation momentum, Wang Kefei made sufficient preparations before last night's Hey Xiū.

Not only did he order the Ministry of Revenue to make up for the silver sounds owed to the army, he also killed pigs and sheep and asked the soldiers to have extra meals, and promised that if the army today could show the momentum of victory, each of the soldiers would be rewarded with an additional five taels of silver.

For this reason, he almost emptied the Ministry of Revenue's assets.

Five taels of silver, this is a three-month salary. Who doesn’t want Ah for free?

The royal speech group headed by the crown prince was commissioned by the emperor to tour the city. It was passionate and passionate, deeply attracted and infected every audience guarding the city. Everyone expressed that they must show the prestige of the Ming army's fifth campaign against Mongolia, and stand up for the emperor and the royal family.

Of course, paying money at the last minute is not the original creation of Wang Kefei.

When Chongzhen broke into the army in his previous life, he also dug out 70,000 taels of silver from the treasury and distributed military pay.

Unfortunately, those damn eunuchs who defended the city were all greedy against their conscience.

In fact, eunuchs love money, no matter which dynasty, are a common phenomenon. Because eunuchs have incomplete bodies and no offspring, loving money is their only sustenance, so their nature of greed for money is fully demonstrated in them.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Chengen, a companion to the king, died for the country and took everything for the eunuchs.

Since then, countless praises and countless praises have pushed them to the endorsement of loyalty to the emperor and repaying him.

Little did they know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were almost all of them surrendered except for a very small number of Wang Chengen, Founder, Gao Shiming, etc.

The civil servant group that was hated and criticized by historians is certainly hateful, but there are also great scholars such as Grand Secretary Fan Jingwen, Minister of Revenue Ni Yuanlu, Left Censor Li Banghua, Prince Concubine Gong Yonggu, etc., who either jumped into a well, hanged himself, or burned himself at home, and died heroically for the country, and were also heroic, but few people knew about it.

Therefore, the eunuch group is available, but it must not be reused.

…………

Imperial Palace, Forbidden City.

Gold bricks and jade tiles are magnificent.

In the distance, one majestic building after another stands tall, ups and downs, pavilions and towers stretch for several miles, exuding an incredible spectacular atmosphere.

The palace walls are guarded strictly, with bright swords and guns, and eunuchs and palace maids shuttle back and forth. The palace is so grand that it is indeed extraordinary.

The delegation followed the eunuchs and crossed several halls. From a distance, they saw a magnificent and majestic hall. There was a plaque hanging high above the main entrance, and the three big characters of Huangji Hall shone brightly.

Entering the main hall, the interior is decorated with ornate, and the rafters are carved with five-clawed golden dragons, which are lifelike.

The ground is covered with brilliant golden bricks, shining with golden light. In the center of the hall, the current emperor is sitting on a dragon throne and wearing a cluster of dragon robes, showing the majesty and nobility of the imperial power to the fullest. That sharp aura makes people unable to help but respect.

The groups knelt on their knees and hit the ground with their heads:

The grass man Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, the folk woman Hongniang, see Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty...!

Although they played a major role in the rebel camp, they were still called "school people" because they failed to obtain the official appointment from the court.

Wang Kefei was slightly stunned.

Hongmai, is she the Hongmai?

He was not surprised by the arrival of Niu and Li. What was really surprising was the appearance of Hong Niu.

This is a female hero worshipped by the post-90s and post-90s when she was a child. Whenever she saw her leading the rebel army to kill gentry and fight against bureaucrats in comics or villains, she always felt excited and domineering. At that time, she was simply the embodiment of beauty and justice.

It's really a play to the end, and luck makes people beat you up.

No matter what, Wang Kefei would never have thought that his childhood idol would now become a life-and-death enemy.

But she was wearing a bright red short-slim bench, a peony brown skirt of the same color, and a wide silver belt tightly tied around her waist, which made her slender waist and breasts enlarge her slim and toned lines outlined vividly and charmingly. Her perfect figure with a golden ratio and a short-slim bench, which was as beautiful as a red plum blossom reflecting snow. However, the most rare thing is the heroic posture she exudes all over her body and her heroic spirit. She is like a woman who can fight on the battlefield.

What a hero, she is really charming and charming!It is rare for Li Yan to have such a wife!

Wang Kefei seemed to hear his heartbeat.

Records of the Grand Historian: Hong Niangzi is from Henan. She has been wandering on the streets with artists since she was a child and is performing her skills.

Because she was wearing a red outfit when she was performing her art, history books said that the Hongniang was a Hongniang who was a rope skill.

She was smart, brave, diligent and studious, and she developed a good martial arts. During the process of mobile arts, she heard and witnessed all the dark phenomena at that time, and was insulted, ravaged and persecuted by the government and gangsters, which formed her stubborn and rebellious character.

In this difficult and difficult environment, she dared to fight against the dark ruling forces, helped the suffering people everywhere, and became a chivalrous and righteous chivalrous woman in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the late Chongzhen year, she united and organized a group of acrobatics and poor peasants to revolt in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang, Henan.

He killed corrupt officials, landlords and gentry, burned the government, broke the prison and released prisoners, opened the granary, and helped the hungry people. He was deeply supported by the poor people. Later, he became the female general of Li Zicheng's army in the Ming Dynasty and the wife of Li Yan.

His Majesty... His Majesty!

Seeing that the emperor was a little dazed, Wang Chengen hurriedly reminded him.

The messenger met.

Wang Kefei came to his senses only then.

Fortunately, the delegations were kneeling on the ground and knocking their heads at this moment. They could not stand up without their own will. They would never have thought that the emperor's eyes would be so nakedly browsing on other people's wives.

He hurriedly restrained his mind and owed his body and said, "Don't give me a favor, you are a righteous man from afar. Thank you for your hard work, come, give me a seat and serve tea."

The eunuchs brought chairs, and Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others sat down respectively.

I have long heard that there were planning matters in the Qin King's tent, Li Niu and others. They are resourceful and have a good plan. When I saw it today, it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Li Yan clasped his fists and bowed: Thank you Your Majesty for your misunderstandings. The grass and people are the light of fireflies, and Your Majesty is the brightness of the sun and the moon. How dare the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon?The people think that if a country has no worries about not having any wise men, it is difficult to use wise men; the great court is the people of all officials, and now there are many wise men.

It turns out that he is a cultural person, and he said nothing wrong with this!

But, why do you feel that this is a satirizing me?Your wife's!I bullied me less about classical Chinese.

General Li, why be modest?Having the ability means having the ability. Well, since there are female relatives, Wang Chengen will go to Kunning Palace to invite the queen.

Wang Kefei was naturally not interested in playing a quarrel game with him. He scolded Li Yan ten thousand times in his heart and hurriedly changed the subject.

Soon, Queen Zhou Yufeng arrived slowly under the crowd of several palace maids.

Perhaps because of the nourishment of love last night, Zhou Yufeng looks particularly beautiful today, with a generous look, looking up and brows, and every frown and smile looks elegant and luxurious, full of nobleness!

A pink long skirt with a golden embroidered cloak is more in line with her noble queen style.

I have seen Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will live forever.Zhou Yufeng gave a graceful gift.

The queen doesn't have to salute, get up quickly.Wang Kefei smiled.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Caomin and others have met the Empress, who has lived thousands of years!

Queen Zhou smiled: All righteous men are free from courtesy.

Thank you!

After saying that, Empress Zhou came to Hong Niangzi, held her hand, and said: Is this Hong Niang girl?I have heard of the girl’s name for a long time, but when I see her today, she is indeed extraordinary.Just like the late autumn chrysanthemums, delicate but not dry, gorgeous but not mèi, dignified and beautiful.Its elegance is really a bit similar to that of my sister!

With Zhou Yufeng's cover, Wang Kefei then carefully looked at Hong Niangzi.

Long eyelashes, clear eyes, small nose, plump lips, and a pair of autumn-like eyes embedded on the red apple face, which is watery and wise. In the blink of an eye, it exudes a sense of cleverness and cleverness. When the corner of the mouth is raised, it outlines two dimples on the plump cheeks. It is beautiful but not charming, exuding a fascinating charm.

What I am most proud of is her figure, with her bee waist and her chest squinting, her long legs and buttocks. The attractive curves outlined by her plump buttocks and slender waist are as plump and well-proportioned as the little elm tree in spring, strong and strong without losing Ana. Especially her pretty face, against the backdrop of the redwoods, it looks even more beautiful and exciting. Although it is not as beautiful as the queen Zhou Yufeng, such a beautiful and unconventional girl is hard to find in the world.

That expression is simply the ancient costume version of the movie star Li Xiaolu.

Famous flowers are filled with joy in the country, and the king often sees them with a smile.It’s a pity that I traveled late, otherwise, how could Li Yan have had anything to do?

well!If such a good natural beauty is let go, God will not forgive her.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get, and the more I take a step back, the more I lose.Fuck her!

The queen lowered her head and gave a slight salute:

Thanks to the empress's praise, the village woman really dare not take it.The Queen Mother is truly beautiful, with thousands of expressions and all kinds of charm...

The Matchmaker's face turned red. She was a martial artist herself, she didn't know much literacy and had a stupid mouth. But in such a solemn occasion, she had to bear to say some sour words.

She came here this time not because she was concerned about the so-called negotiation cause, but because she was completely to protect her little kiss Li Yan.

Since the couple got married, Li Yan has been following the King of Chuang to make suggestions, and he has led his troops to fight outside. After years of military career, he has been together for a long time. This time, he was finally able to reunite. Li Yan has to go deep into the tiger's den again. The Hongniang was worried that he would not be able to say anything. No matter how Li Yan said it, he would insist on following his husband and protecting his husband.

Of course, all this was told by Emperor Wang on the dragon bed in the future and the Hongniang was completely taken down.

Queen Zhou smiled quietly and quietly.

Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. My concubine and my sister are women and dare not discuss national affairs. I heard that the flowers in the back garden are in full bloom. Seeing that the spring is very good, I want to go and appreciate the flowers with my sister and chat about family matters.

Wang Kefei nodded in approval.

What the queen said was very true.Mrs. Li, the invitation from the queen, is it possible?

Li Yan replied first: Your Majesty, the village man in the countryside of Jing, thanks to the Empress, and the people are grateful.The clumsy and rude are not wise and lawful. If the empress is not involuntarily dissuading the empress, please forgive me.

General Li’s words are wrong!Wang Kefei shook his head and said.

Madam, a heroine, a hero among women. She is a typical representative of the women in the Ming Dynasty who are not afraid of the powerful and persevering.It is precisely because of their silent efforts and the storm that men can achieve success.History cannot be erased. It will remind me, spur me, and encourage me at all times. Mrs. Li’s heroic story will continue to be passed down and become the pride of the women of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Wang Kefei said this, everyone in the seat was shocked.

Who would have thought that as an emperor, he would promote feminism so nakedly. This is simply rude and violates the rules of the ancestors.

In this feudal era ruled by Confucian ethics, men were advocated to be superior to women, and women were extremely low in status, and women were even regarded as villains. Women were just followers. Marrying chickens and following chickens, and marrying dogs and following dogs. Who cares what these women think?

Who really cares about their role?

The heroic five-foot gun is shining on the battlefield.The children of Daming had many ambitions and did not like to wear red clothes and like to be armed.In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father, but now there is a military army of women who carry guns for the people. Who says women are not as good as men?I see that women can hold half of the sky.

quiet!

Absolutely quiet!

Wang Kefei's words were like a bombshell, making everyone present dizzy.

Li Yan stood up and solemnly saluted Emperor Wang.

Your Majesty’s words are indeed a blessing for all the people in the world and a blessing for the clumsy Jing!Listening to the emperor’s words is better than reading for ten years, and the cursive people have received teachings!

…………

The negotiations officially unfolded in an atmosphere of peaceful attitude.

Li Yan first offered respectful invitations to the emperor on behalf of Li Zicheng, wishing His Majesty the Emperor a prosperous youth and a long life, and wishing the Empress and Concubine to be prosperous and prosperous in the sun and moon, and to be eternal family.

The core issue of the negotiation is to be the king, and Wang Kefei did not express any objection to this.

The focus is mainly on the issue of ownership in Henan, and the two sides have fought for an inch of land.

After all, Henan’s geographical location is too important to both sides, and there is a word that can best reflect it in the world.

He could go straight to Tongguan to the west, threatening Xi'an, and to the east, facing the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, threatening the safety of the Beijing-Trade grain transport channel.

If there is a conflict one day, Li Zicheng will be unhappy and he can easily cut off the canal.

By then, the court will not be allowed to drink the northwest wind?

In addition, agriculture in Henan is also very developed, and Li Zicheng's idea is also very simple. The northwest is barren and the Central Plains is rich. He wants to turn Henan into his granary and the place where taxes are generated.

The final result of the agreement was that both sides took a step back, the western part of Henan belonged to Qin, and the eastern part was under the jurisdiction of the court. Of course, the court had to give the King of Qin a certain amount of pension every year.

Another issue is the issue of paying the silver reward for the enemy. Li Zicheng clearly marked the price, with 1 million taels of silver, of which 300,000 taels were paid in the first two days and 400,000 taels were paid on the third day.

Wang Kefei also accepted it calmly, but asked Li Zicheng to withdraw his troops the day after the negotiations were completed, and all troops were withdrawn after the Yinxiang handover was completed. For this reason, the court will send military observers to supervise the other party's withdrawal.

In order to prevent the court from procrastinating in this move, Wang Kefei expressed his willingness to use the three princes as guests to visit the camp.

This move is full of kindness. You should know that Chongzhen only had three princes, all of whom were hostages, and he was full of sincerity.

Of course, there is another saying that Wang Kefei will never say. Anyway, he is not his own son. Once he encounters an accident, he will give birth to a few more.

As for the issue of interviews, Wang Kefei said that Xi'an was thousands of miles from Beijing, with high mountains and far roads. The court was concerned about the safety of the King of Qin and allowed him to send special envoys to report his duties, without going to Beijing to meet.

But every time the queen's birthday, the princess still wants to come to Beijing to celebrate. This is related to the royal face and there is no room for negotiation.

Of course, before the princess enters Beijing, the court will arrange for the prince to go to Qin for inspection in advance. When the princess returns safely, the prince returns to Beijing.

In fact, Wang Kefei doesn't care about the face or not. He is worried about the famous Empress Gao in his heart, hehe.

Empress Gao's name is Gao Guiying, and she is Li Zicheng's third wife. She is not only very beautiful, but also proficient in martial arts.

Since Li Zicheng defected to Gao Yingxiang, Gao Guiying has always followed her husband, working together with him, sharing weal and woe, and even personally led a army of women to fight to kill the enemy.

Later, after Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor and established Dashun, he appointed Gao Guiying as the queen.

After her husband died, Gao Guiying continued to lead a team to resist the Qing soldiers, and even eventually died of self-immolation to preserve his reputation.

Such a strong personality is really admirable and he is worthy of being a heroine.

However, what Wang Ke insisted on is a heroine. As the noble of the Nine Five, how could ordinary women attract his eyes?

Lust is a man’s nature, and it is also one of the most primitive motivations for men to create and change the world.

I may not be able to deal with you when you are in Xi'an, but if you come to Beijing this acre of three-point land, I have ten thousand ways to take you down.

As for Li Zicheng's help to curb the enemy within the court and help suppress the Liao vassals, Wang Kefei felt very relieved, but said that the court had enough strength outside the pass to resist Jiannu, and hoped that after he returned to Chang'an, he would send a large army into Sichuan to sweep away the thieves, so that he would not let him seize the throne and worry about the future.

It's also interesting to say. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were originally brothers who were born and die together.

In 1635, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fengyang after breaking through the siege of the river.

Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. Emperors of the Ming Dynasty have built various projects here, and the Ming Dynasty's tomb and the Ming Zhongdu Imperial City are all here.

But unexpectedly, the brothers who were born and died together formed a bond in Fengyang Palace due to improper sharing of spoils.

From then on, the two parted ways, Li Zicheng went north and occupied the Yellow River area; Zhang Xianzhong went south and occupied the Yangtze River area.

In 1636, King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang died in the war, and Li Zicheng naturally inherited the title of King of Chuang.

This move made Zhang Xianzhong, who was in the south, even more dissatisfied, and the two of them deepened their resentment.

In 1638, Li Zicheng was defeated and had no choice but to go south to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong was determined to kill Li Zicheng and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

Unfortunately, Li Zicheng saw through it in advance and ran away overnight, saving his life.

The dramatic thing is that three years later, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in the south and fled to the north to surrender to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng also wanted to take this opportunity to kill Zhang Xianzhong, but was stopped by Luo Rucai, one of the generals of the 13th Army. Later, Zhang Xianzhong escaped overnight with the help of Luo Rucai.

The two brothers with similar loyalties ultimately failed to escape the fate of turning against each other.

Wang Kefei is a typical example of fighting and pulling each other. He is very sure that the two tigers fight and kill each other.

As the saying goes, officials and thieves are incompatible, and Li Zicheng transformed into an official. For him, Zhang Xianzhong is no longer a peasant army partner who once fought against the Ming Dynasty, but a thief who endangered his Northwest regime. In the face of absolute power, he will be punished soon.

…………

A negotiation that concerns the fate of the Ming Dynasty lasted for about an hour and ended successfully.

In the long river of history, because Wang Kefei's inadvertent Li Dai Taozao changed the flow direction and moved towards another tributary, deviating from its correct track.

The eunuchs prepared their pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wang Ke issued an informal edict:

Emperor Fengtian Chengyun said: Since ancient times, the kings ruled the world with moral education and moral education, governed the people with civil and military skills, and selected talents and appointed them without any restrictions. Li Zicheng, a righteous scholar from Mizhi in Shaanxi, is both civil and military, and has the ability to govern the world. He is a talent that is rare in history and is very good. I wanted to be named Li Zi as the King of Qin, and he was in charge of the northwest area. He had a salary of 10,000 stones per year and a crown of three heroes. He inherited the emperor and appointed all officials from Qin, and was above the princes and kings, and guarded the northwest for the Ming Dynasty. The Princess of Qin was kind and kind, virtuous and virtuous. He helped the King of Qin to handle political affairs and was very motivated. He was very pleased to give Gao a first-rank imperial wife and a sword from Shangfang. He was dedicated to supervising all officials, beheading rioters and traitors and punishing villains and hooligans without asking for advice. I hope you will continue to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and don’t let my grace down, and I admire this.

As we all know, the royal family titles in the Ming Dynasty generally had only two titles: Prince and Prince. The prince was a one-character king with an annual salary of 10,000 stones, and the prince was a two-character king with an annual salary of 2,000 stones.

Unlike ordinary princes who stay at home every day, receive wages, have children, eat and die, Li Zicheng's position as the King of Qin is not only above the kings, but also has real power. He can place all officials in Qin and appoint officials, truly realize his wish to be above the ten thousand people and become a real king.

What's more interesting is that Emperor Wang gave the highest power to two people at the same time. Although the wife of the imperial decree is more of an honor, with a salary and no real power, which is different from a real official, if a woman of less than a grade is given, she will also be able to treat her respects when she meets the wife of the imperial decree.

Besides, she was given the sword of Shang Fang, and she had the right to kill first and then report it.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Even if it is a male or a female, there will be conflicts sooner or later.

Wang Kefei quietly smashed a wedge among them.

…………

In the Ganqing Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids had already set up a banquet.

Jars after jars of mellow wine rose from the wine cellar of the palace. Even if it was sealed, the occasional fragrance of wine overflowed was fascinating.

The guests and guests will sit according to their grades.

The palace maids poured wine with golden cups, put it in a rectangular silver plate, and placed it in front of them.

Thank you all, the generals, this peace talk is really the will of God. Now the country is safe, and now the order is now, and you have made great contributions.The Ganqing Palace is my bedroom and my home. The reason why the banquet is held here is called a family banquet. This is the imperial wine Changchun Dew brewed in the palace. It has been forty years of cellars. I have never drunk alcohol, so I have been stored to this day. Today, it is an exception. Our king and minister will not stop drunk.

Wang Kefei raised his wine glass.

I want to toast this first glass of wine to the King of Qin outside the city.It has been seventeen years since I ascended the throne. In these seventeen years, the Ming Dynasty has gradually declined, and the court has accumulated tragedies. The King of Qin led the rebel army to eliminate violent tyrants and servitude to the people and kill corrupt officials, which was very popular.I inherit the will of God and give the King of Qin glory and rewards. I hope the King of Qin can benefit the people and guard the northwest for me.Thousands of years (cheers)!

After saying that, Wang Kefei followed the ancients' ways, covered the wine glass with his wide sleeves, and drank it all in one decent way.

Changchun Lu’s alcohol content is indeed not much, not much higher than the beer in later generations. With his alcohol content, he will never capsize if he drinks four or five pounds.

After the wine was over, Wang Kefei appeared on the bottom of the cup and said, "Brother, look, brother, I've finished this cup!"

The emperor has toasted, and he also respects the master behind them, King Qin. What else can I say?

Niu Jinxing and Li Yanju also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

I will toast this second bowl of wine to all the people of the world and to the kind and righteous people who sacrifice their lives for the country.Since I ascended the throne, many people have been buried on the battlefield. Today, our peaceful, comfortable and happy lives are exchanged for these unknown soldiers with their lives. Their blood will not flow in vain, their great achievements will last forever, and I will miss them forever.

There is no doubt that these words are very inflammatory, but the bones by the Wuding River are still people in the spring boudoir.

War is ruthless, countless lives are taken away, leaving only the legend of success and defeated enemies, but their names are forever submerged in the ocean of history and ruthlessly overwhelmed by the wheel of history. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, these soldiers are just casualties, but in the eyes of soldiers' families, perhaps they are the pillars of the family, but who cares about them?

Who remembers them?

However, the emperor remembered them, not only affirmed their dedication and contributions, but also remembered them.

Although Li Yan and Niu Jinxing are both leading cadres at the highest level of the Rebellion Army, they have been sleeping in the open after years of military career. They understand the hardships of being a soldier. Wang Kefei's words simply go to their hearts.

But in the face of such a touching atmosphere, they didn't have to think too much and drank the wine in the glass.

I will toast this third bowl of wine to the two generals here. Without you, there would be no Ming Dynasty today.The disasters caused by heaven, so that our two kings and ministers could see each other with their jade and silk, and to promote the army.After today, the two families will unite, and the monarch and ministers will unite, and enjoy peace and prosperity.The two generals were pioneers of peace and loyal practitioners, and made great contributions.I am grateful to you on behalf of the court and the people of the world. I respect you.

This mood... is so damn touching. The key is that the emperor just said it was right!

Peace talks have been completed, and the whole world is unified. If you have to make a contribution, who can compare with us?

The emperor has given him a face, so how can he not take care of him?

Thank you for your misunderstanding!

Niu Jinxing, who was extremely vain, raised his wine glass, touched Wang Kefeixu, and drank it all with his neck.

On that greasy face, all the wrinkles seemed to have spread out, full of pride.

Have a few glasses of wine.

Niu Jinxing still had some alcohol tolerance, but Li Yan, who was not good at drinking, was already drunk. He lay on the table with red cheeks and swaying, and almost fell under the table several times.

Every time Wang Kefei drinks, he will cover the wine glass with his wide sleeves. From the perspective of movements, he is indeed more elegant and noble.

In fact, the sleeves were full of mystery. He was afraid that he could not be able to drink enough, so he stuffed a piece of soft cloth into his sleeves.

Raising his glass upwards gives people the feeling of being cheered. In fact, he poured it all on the soft cloth. Every time he drank a few cups, he would go to change his clothes, use urine to wring the soft cloth out, and come back to continue cheating.

Niu Jinxing and Li Yan would never have thought that the emperor, who is the 195th emperor, would actually cheat on food and drink.

General Li was drunk. Haha, come, please help General Li to the warmhouse to rest.Wang Kefei said with a smile.

Several eunuchs rushed over, supported Li Yan, and staggered away from the banquet.

Military Secretary Niu, since General Li is drunk, it is not bad to take a nap in the palace.Moreover, Mrs. Li is still having fun in the queen. As for women, there are always endless topics to talk about, but the King of Qin is also waiting for news. For this matter, I can only ask the military advisor to return to the camp to convey the matter.

Niu Jinxing picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and then wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth with his hands.

This is too unreasonable. It’s not like going out for a banquet when you come out to negotiate. How can you be drunk?It made His Majesty laugh!I will definitely report back to the King of Qin and ask the prince to punish him.

Bah, I'm a bad guy, what's the point? I don't want you to get drunk, otherwise, how could you comment here?

Wang Kefei scolded Niu Jinxing ten thousand times in his heart, but said:

What the military advisor said is exactly.As the saying goes: It is easy to get a general in a thousand troops, and a famous general can even determine the fate of a country.Both generals have the talent of prime ministers, and I admire them so much. If you have one person, you will be at peace with the world.Just...ah!God's will cannot violate Ah...

Wang Kefei wanted to speak, and he was just right at the right place.

Niu Jinxing was extremely addicted to listening, but the emperor suddenly stopped talking.

He scratched his ears and forehead anxiously, took a sip of tea, and asked:

Just how?Your Majesty, it's okay to say it.

Wang Kefei looked around strangely, dispersed the eunuchs and palace maids around him, approached Niu Jinxing's ear, and said mysteriously:

The military advisor didn't know that last night, I observed the celestial phenomena at night in the Imperial Heaven and found that the purple stars were shining brightly.The purple qi gathers in the east, the cow fights to the sky and the wolf, and the handle of the fight is pointed in the east, which is the abnormal movement of the celestial phenomena.The Imperial Heavenly Prison said that the sky above the southwest will shine brightly on the moon.There is one star on each side of the Xuanyue, showing the momentum of two stars surging the moon.The double stars are Venus and Jupiter. Venus is sharp and bright, and it is a military advisor. Jupiter, taking wood and abandoning sons, is Li Yan.The five elements are in conflict with each other, metal overcomes wood, water overcomes fire, and metal and wood conflict with each other. This is an ominous sign.

Niu Jinxing was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with incredible expressions.

For Ah, Venus, isn’t it my Niu Jinxing?Mu, plus Zi, isn’t it just Li...Li Yan?

People have weaknesses, just like the seven-inch snake's scales, the reverse scales of dragon's, and jealousy. This is exactly his weakness.

Over the years, Li Yan has always been superior to him. Even his own arrival is attributed to Li Yan. He is also a disciple and has nine years of compulsory education. Why is he the only one who is so outstanding?

Because of Li Yan's existence, he felt inferior and was jealous.

Niu Jinxing took a sip of wine, touched her for a long time, but didn't say anything.

But his flashing eyes were enough to say it all.

Wang Kefei waved his hand and continued to fan the flames and ignite:

Li Yan is just a disciple, so why is he above the military advisor?The so-called equalization of fields and exemption of food is the view of women and children.Such behavior seems to win the hearts of the people, but it hides great troubles.If there is no food exemption, where will the salaries of officials of all sizes and big courts come from?What should millions of troops guarding their families and defending their country eat without taxes?Jiangnan is poor in the northwest. If there is a disaster and the country has no sufficient deposit, how can I talk about allocating it? Can I watch the people in the northwest drink the northwest wind?Therefore, Li Yan's strategy can only confuse people's hearts and fool the people. Although he gathered a large number of followers, he actually killed chickens and retrieved eggs and drank poison to quench thirst. This move also put the King of Qin in a bad and unrighteous manner. The military advisor was simple, liked to read, and was well-versed in the military tactics of Tianguan, Fengjiao, and Sun and Wu.It is recommended to "kill less punishment and kill, relieve hungry people, and win people's hearts" which is actually the foundation of building a country.Military advisors have achieved great achievements and shine in history.

At this time, Wang Kefei was like a grandson, and no matter how he looked, he didn't look like an emperor who ruled the world.

There is nothing else. If you want to survive in this troubled times, you must learn to disguise, put down the emperor's airs, and be able to get along with each other in order to be invincible.

Jiang Shangzeng said: Outside is chaotic and internally tidy, inside is simplified and dull on the outside. This is not only the strategy of military strategy, but also the great wisdom of life.

It is basically impossible to make yourself impeccable, both outside and inside, but as long as you are good at hiding and disguising, then for others, you are basically indestructible and impeccable.

I love talents, I really want to make friends with military advisors.Anyway, I will write a letter to the King of Qin and leave Li Yan and his wife in the court. I can also grant him a small official and restrain him. The deadline is temporarily one year. After one year, Li Yan and his wife will return to Xi'an and have no place to stand. What about it?

Your Majesty is serious about this?

Niu Jinxing's face was filled with surprise and desire.

If he wanted to take it, he would have to give it to him first. He was not interested in what official Li Yan was in the court.

What he was jealous of Li Yan's ability and prestige. For a long time, Li Yan has always been the number one strategist in Li Zicheng's team, and the two of them could not even pee in a pot.

Niu Jinxing felt that as long as Li Yan was squeezed out, he could firmly sit in the top position of civil officials, and the position of prime minister was simply within reach.

You have no jokes.

OK, Your Majesty is determined by one word, Thousand Years (cheers)!

Niu Jinxing's heart is so beautiful. Once a person is satisfied, he will come whatever he wants. Although he and Li Yan are still able to live up to his face now, he will not be able to withstand two tigers in one mountain, and sooner or later he will be in the same situation.

He is like a stumbling block, and he is distracted from moving it a long time ago. Isn't that?The opportunity is here, haha.

Being a marquis and a prime minister, and being a magnificent ancestor and glorious clan is just around the corner!

Thousands of years (cheers)!

But Li Yan, the first counselor of Li Zicheng, was betrayed by the enemy and us in this way.

What the previous dynasty said was clear, the birds were hidden all the bows, and the rabbits were dead and the dogs were cooked!

This statement is a summary of Fan Li's actual experience.

…………

After repeated cups and cups, people don’t feel that yesterday there was still an enemy of life and death.

Niu Junshi Qingcao is extraordinary, has a high talent, and is actually a prime minister...

Military Secretary Niu is resourceful and strategic, which makes all officials ashamed...

Military commander Niu is a wise man, a great talent, and a pillar of the country...

He was wearing everything but flattered, and Wang Kefei kept throwing out his high hats, and those words of praise kept surging like floods, making Niu Jinxing dizzy. His compliments were so compliments that he could only be praised.

Even he himself had to sigh that I, Lao Niu, is really a talented person.

After so many years, I have been living under the shadow of Li Yan, and will continue forever and endlessly.

Life itself is not easy. Wasting time is a waste of life?

Your Majesty praised it. If it weren’t for the wise and wise eyes of Wang, how could I have had this opportunity to make such a contribution?

Niu Jinxing smiled like a fool, and his face was so angry and coquettish that he wanted Wang Kefei to go up and kick him a few times.

The time is almost over, it’s time to send you, the plague god.

Wang Kefei owed his body, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.Said:

I also want to keep the military advisor in the palace, drink and talk about the way of governing the country, but the King of Qin also waited for news.In this way, I will not try to keep it. The military advisor has made contributions to the country in this trip, and I should also reward him.

Wang Kefei waved his hand and a eunuch brought up several treasure chests.

Open the treasure chest and there are a wide variety of them.

Thank you for your hard work, and this is the military commander who has turned the war into a jade war. It all depends on the military commander's efforts to do his best. You treat me with sincerity, and I will not let you down!Special gifts to the military advisor’s 10 pearls, 20 agate jade pieces, 10 red gems, 10 Ganoderma lucidum, 10 white jade pieces, a pair of night pearls, and 1 millennium ginseng plant.There were also thousands of taels of silver and gold each, and the military advisor bought wine for the brothers who were traveling with him.

My heart is moved, who is not moved?

There were so many good things that I only saw when I was in Luoyang when I was copying the Fu Wang family.

But those things were rewarded by King Chuang several times, but by the time they were in my hands, there were only a few left. Today, these treasures are all my own, haha, all my own.

Life is like a autumn, and the years of youth and old age can be used to spend the whole world and enjoy the glory of the glory?You must have fun in life!

Niu Jinxing could no longer hide the light in his eyes, just like an evil cat seeing a mouse.

Thank you Your Majesty!

…………

Niu Jinxing is gone.

Just left like this...

Wang Chengen, who had been to the camp to announce the imperial edict and a large sum of gold, silver and treasures, returned to the camp happily.

This time he came, he had a lot of gains.

Not only did he get a large sum of gold, silver and treasures and the emperor's golden words, he also brought down his political enemy Li Yan, making the position of prime minister he had always dreamed of is within his reach. He was simply so beautiful!

Looking at the back of the quilt gradually fading away, Wang Kefei spat hard.

I'm gonna be!What a thing? Just because you are so stupid and sour, he still wants to be the prime minister or the prime minister?I have to use you today to give you a high hat, otherwise your ten heads would not be enough for me.

One day, I will cut off your chick.

In fact, Wang Kefei thought about it and knew that Li Zicheng would agree to Li Yan.

This negotiation has met all his requirements, and with Niu Jinxing's impulse, he still thinks he can use this to put a nail around the emperor, why not do it?

This is his character. Although he made the rebellion vigorously, strong and tenacious, his culture, pattern and even his mind were not enough to achieve great things.

snort!If a tiger does not show its power, do you think it is a sick cat?If I don’t give my country to you, you really can’t get it.

Chongzhen, I don’t know what kind of difficulties you encountered in your previous life, which made you rather die than surrender, but in this life I borrowed your body and saved Zhu Ming.

If there is still a next life, if you are still a king, I hope you can understand: there is really no need to show strength by force. In the face of aggrievances, you can take a step back and broaden the sky and move back to advance. Even if you want to swallow some grievances, it is still a good method.

Qiming Edition "Longzhong Pair"

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

There are lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, and there is a busy scene.

Under the command of the old eunuch, all kinds of lanterns and ribbons were hung. The old eunuch and the old palace maid shouted at the little eunuch and the little palace maids were constantly heard, and the festive atmosphere spread throughout the palace.

The festive environment with lanterns and colorful decorations also relaxed the eunuchs and palace maids who had been nervous for many days, enjoying this rare leisurely environment and the royal rewards.

Changchun Lu was really not very drunk. Even Li Yan, who was a scholar, woke up after only half an hour of napping.

When Li Yan learned that he was sleeping soundly in the emperor's bedroom, he was shocked. This was not only a loss of etiquette, but also a very disrespectful crime. Once the emperor pursued it, even if he had nine heads, he would not be able to cut it.

He hurriedly came to the imperial study under the guidance of the little eunuch. At this time, Wang Kefei was reviewing the memorials. The memorials were written in the form of classical Chinese. Looking at the full text, Wang Kefei was already drowsy. This was simply a super killer of brain cells.

Li Yan came to the case and fell to the ground.

Cao Min... Cao Min is guilty and deserves death. Please punish His Majesty.

oh?What crime did General Li commit?

The grass people were drunk accidentally and... were drunk and hung in the dragon bed, and the grass people...

Li Yan was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Wang Kefei asked the eunuch to move a chair.

General Li asked to sit down.

The grass-roots dare not.

General Li, it’s okay to do it, I forgive you for not guilty!

Thank you Your Majesty!

Li Yan sat down on the chair tremblingly.

General Li should not be called a sage for the people anymore. I will not hide it from you. I have asked the King of Qin to second Li Qing and his wife for the purpose of my use.From today on, Li Qing has been the highest aide around me. He is the chief minister of the cabinet and the crown prince's guarantee, and the great scholar of Wenyuan Hall. Li Qing has a long way to go!

Li Yan was shocked when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground again with a loud bang.

Your Majesty, you must not.Li Yan is just an advisor. He failed to pass the imperial examination and made a contribution. What kind of virtue is there? How can he be so good? He dares to be a saint and dares to establish a high position in the temple?Please... Please take back your majesty's order, but I am not allowed to do so.

Faced with this result, Wang Kefei was not surprised. As a literati, who is not good at face and responds with one call. Wouldn’t it be too valuable to lose weight?

As long as you know your emotions and move them with reason, everything will be OK. When Chongzhen ascended the throne, he still gave in three words and three words.

It's time to be an actor.

He walked forward and bowed to help Li Yan up.

I inherit the virtues of my ancestors, inherit the great throne, and work diligently, and I am afraid that I will be ashamed of my ancestors.However, I took over a ruined dynasty with many generations of tragedy. I was worried about internal and external troubles, and the country was in poverty and the people were poor. I was surrounded by people who were greedy for money and profit, fighting for power and power. My army was even more exhausted and defeated.I always feel that I have no face to face the ancestors and the people.

Wang Kefei pretended to sigh to the sky, and even squeezed out tears from the corner of his eyes.

God is above me, can I be a foolish and unjust king of the country?Could I be a lewd and ignorant ruler of the government?Am I a weak, incompetent, ignorant, or a young and ignorant ruler who lets treacherous ministers and chaos?Isn’t I a wise lord who rises at dawn every day, respects the heavens devoutly, guards the ancestors’ teachings, and always thinks about the wise ruler?

He turned around, pulled Li Yan's hand, held it tightly, and learned from the heroic spirit of Liu Guanzhang in Taoyuan in the film and television drama, and said in a literary way:

Today's imperial court is poor and weak, and everything is in trouble. The Ming Dynasty is like a baby, waiting to be fed, and I am on the verge of employing people.But look at my court officials. Civil officials are corrupt and military generals are afraid of death. The world is so big and the people of the world are everywhere, I can’t find anyone who can be found.I do not want to be the king of the country who destroyed it. Even if there are many dangers and difficulties ahead, I must work hard to promote the country and save the difficulties, and reopen the sun and moon for our Ming Dynasty. General Li is resourceful, talented and strategic, and should be of great use.As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in, and scholars are honored for the Boyue. I regard Li Qing as the Boyue. Will Li Qing not want to assist me in creating a brilliant and unparalleled new era of prosperity?

Li Yan's eyes were moist, really moist.

There is a saying among the people: We only know that thieves eat meat, but we cannot see that thieves are beaten. Everyone sees and hears the glorious side of being the emperor, but they don’t know how much hardship he has done behind his back.

It is difficult to be an emperor, it is even more difficult to be a good emperor, and it is even more difficult to be a good emperor who has been famous in history and has been remembered for generations.

Once upon a time, I also lamented that my destiny was unfair, I had a lot of knowledge and aspiration to serve the country, but unfortunately I had no place to use my skills.

Scholars have been studying all over the world for many years. Isn’t they just hope to meet a wise monarch who appreciates them in the future, who can be loyal to the country and benefit the people?

Li Yan fell to the ground three times.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so serious. My Li Yan is an advisor and has a stain on his followers. Now he can get His Majesty magnanimous and his previous crimes are a great kindness, but His Majesty regards as a great scholar. Your Majesty's broad mind is comparable to the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. My Li Yan can only repay one or two if he devotes his heart to the king's affairs and sacrifices himself for the country. Long live our emperor.

Li Yan solemnly gave a big gift.

Wang Kefei took two steps forward and helped Li Yan up with his own hands.

My dear, I am flat.The wise men have given instructions to be wise rulers, and only those who are righteous ministers should be assisted by them.For many years, I have been restless and unwilling to eat, and have been looking forward to the arrival of this day soon!With Li Qing’s assistance, why worry about the prosperity of the country?

Only when the sea flows in the sky can the true nature of a hero be revealed, the green mountains stand and the ambition will not fall into the sky.

More than ten years of war, natural disasters and plagues have caused the people to be in dire straits. Looking at the world, it is lifeless, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger.

It's time to inject new blood.

Conquering Li Yan was just a long march and took the first step.

If this step is also worthy of pride, it is relatively small. The road to the rejuvenation of the Ming Empire is still long. We still need to continue to meet new challenges, overcome new difficulties, and embark on new glory in the long march of difficulties and dangers.

…………

Your Majesty, before I think I am foolish, I will tell a story: ‘Put a frog in a pot of warm water and cover it.The fire was burned under the pot. At first, the frog liked warm water, only caring about enjoying the comfort of warm water, and unaware of the dangers.However, the fire grew and the water temperature in the pot gradually increased. When the water temperature was already boiling, the frog wanted to escape, but it was too late.’

The Longzhong pair, praised by Wang Kefei as the Ming version, began in the afternoon of the Ganqing Palace.

In order to facilitate intuitive and clear communication, Wang Kefei ordered Li Yan to switch to vernacular Chinese and asked him to speak freely, speak indefinitely, and forgive him for being innocent.

The foolish minister thinks that the Ming Dynasty today is like that frog.Any sudden change is enough to arouse vigilance; and what really puts people to death is the pot of warm water. Its constant temperature will make the court mistakenly think that everything is the same as before. When the real change comes, the court no longer has the ability to deal with it.

It has been nearly three hundred years since Emperor Taizu established the country. The four barbarians have been intimidated and subjugated. The officials are clear and clear, and they are worthy of the people at home and are not humiliated by the enemy outside.

However, this is one time and another, how can it be the same?

In the current Ming Dynasty, the various disadvantages that existed in politics, economy, military and society require drastic reforms. As the saying goes, severe illnesses require severe medicine, and the drum will not hit the hammer.

Either a hero cuts his arm or sits waiting to die.

Your Majesty’s top priority is to stabilize the hearts of the people, provide disaster relief and food, and wherever the people’s hearts go, the foundation of the country.

However, if you want to solve everything, you need the word "money and grain". Although I am not in the officialdom, I still know that the country's taxes are not enough.

To untie this knot, we need to first clarify the reason. I think the current decline and chaos is caused by the following aspects:

The first one is land annexation and corruption in the administration.This is the most serious.

My minister was born in a commoner and followed the King of Chuang all year round, traveling around the north and south, and personally felt the corruption in the officialdom and the sufferings of people's livelihood. All of this stems from land annexation and corruption in the administration.

Relying on their own power, the powerful class robbed the land from the lower-class farmers, which had a terrible consequence.

The powerful class can avoid paying taxes to the state through various privileges, and farmers have no taxes to pay after losing land, so the national tax revenue has been greatly reduced.

In order to make up for the loopholes in financial resources, the court had to add tax collection tasks to the subordinates through tough measures. As a result, the tax collection tasks of the court were all assigned to ordinary farmers who were powerless and powerless. Ordinary farmers who were already overwhelmed, their lives became even more difficult.

This further intensified social contradictions and eventually evolved into a peasant army that was surging wildly.

Your Majesty, there was a song among the people: "Snatch the mud, cut the iron needle, scrape the gold Buddha's face and search carefully, and find out nothing.Looking for peas in the quail's nest, cutting sperm on the legs of the egrets, and fat inside the mosquito's belly. The old man started!’This sharply satirizes the ugly behavior of bureaucrats and gentry taking clever plunder.

When I was a king, the rebel army had no food and supplies. Whenever I arrived at a place, I would first recover the stolen money and provide money, confiscate the wealth of the royal family, the heroes, nobles, bureaucrats and gentry to obtain military funds.

Their huge wealth is enough to shock His Majesty and to make the world crazy.

Every time the rebel army confiscated the property of an ordinary vassal king, it was enough to deal with military expenditures for a long time.

Your Majesty might as well learn from this and try to collect evidence of the corrupt officials, or be afraid of it, or be punished, and to be aware of it, and to be aware of it, return it to those who have unlawful gains, or reduce their crimes, or forgive them.

If this happens, the financial problems that have plagued the court for many years in the short term will be solved.

Indeed, peace does not mean peace in one day, and danger does not mean danger in one day. If we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we must start from saving resources and opening up the flow, and start from eliminating redundant staff and restoring military farms. There are many things to do.

If Your Majesty cannot handle this issue well, there will eventually be the next King of Qin and Zhang Bingzhong (Xianzhong), which is one of them.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Isn’t this just calling the emperor a fool?

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If the emperor is displeased and angry when he hears it, and then puts a hat of disrespect for himself, he will lose a lot of rice.

He hurriedly looked at Wang Kefei, and his sweat was blowing like the grass after the rain, but when he saw the emperor's face as jade as a crown and as quiet as water, he had no intention of shame, anger or objection.

Li Yan finally felt relieved and plucked up his courage to continue talking.

Second, the issue of the royal family of the vassal kings.

Emperor Taizu established a system in the Central Plains, hoping to use the emperor as the main body and the royal family as the branches and leaves to jointly protect the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years.

Emperor Taizu treated his descendants very generously, and stipulated that the royal family did not need to engage in any profession, enjoyed privileges, and paid taxes. The consumption of each descendant of the royal family was borne by the state. With the rapid increase in the population of the royal family, the total amount allocated to the capital even far exceeds the annual food provided to the country in various parts of the country.

The court also had a heavy burden on it.

This article, due to the ancestral system, also tests Your Majesty's wisdom and courage.

My minister’s suggestion is to review the land of the royal family, strictly enforce the laws and regulations, and to return the salary to the top three generations, and the rest follow the crowd and promise them the benefits of the imperial examination and official career.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the court measure the land of the royal family again, take out the many, and use the law to restrict it.

In addition, the court was only responsible for the salary of the royal family within three generations, and ignored those outside the three generations. Just like the ordinary people, they were free and could participate in the imperial examinations or become officials.

Wang Kefei nodded and agreed to this statement.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely harsh in treating meritorious officials, generals, concubines and palace maids. He would kill them if he was dissatisfied with him and treated them like ants, but he was extremely blessed with his own flesh and descendants. Every member of the royal family naturally had a title, with an annual salary, land and various rewards. Even if the lowest title was lieutenant of the country, he could receive a salary of 200 stone meters.

According to the Ming Dynasty, one stone is equal to 1535 kilograms, and one kilogram is equal to 5946 grams of the current one.

One stone is now 1825 kilograms, and 200 stone is now 36,500 kilograms.

Based on the current lowest price of rice in supermarkets, it is more than 80,000 yuan.

The billions of people in the world provide family with people's wealth and ointment. The royal family enjoys such a superior life, but they do nothing all day long. When they are bored, they can marry and have children. The number of royal family expands like a bubble.

According to records, the population of royal family members in the late Ming Dynasty reached an astonishing more than 1 million.

Of course, the more miserable the oppression of the people, the deeper the hatred of the people will be, and the bloody revenge will be in the future.

Li Zicheng's characteristic is that he is not hesitant to kill, but he will kill all the descendants of the emperor!

It can be seen how much the poor hate the royal family!

I don’t care about the affairs of my previous life, but in this life, my first task is to eliminate these borers.

Landlords, officials, nobles, and royal families, after the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Third.It is a continuous threat from the Qing Dynasty.Li Yan continued.

In the 44th year of Wanli, Nurhaci founded the country in Hetuala and called it Khan, and the country was named Jin. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji called the emperor and changed the country to "Qing".For decades, the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry has been lying outside the pass and staring at it.

As far as I know, the Manchus have a very distinctive feature, that is, the Eight Banners system.

The Eight Banners children can be said to be the soldiers of the whole nation. They plowed the fields and went to fight when there was no war. At the beginning of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, they could ride horses and shoot arrows, and they could do everything, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

Facing Jiannu, our dynasty repeatedly failed in combat, and had to passive defense, which led to a tight military pay.

In the 48th year of Wanli, more than 5.2 million taels of Liao's salary were distributed, which exceeded the normal amount of the court's annual expenditure. By the fourth year of Chongzhen, more than 10 million taels of Liao's salary was added, more than 2.8 million taels of suppression in ten years, and more than 7.3 million taels of training in twelve years, and more than 20 million taels of additional salary were distributed, which was far beyond the tax revenue of the court in normal times.

In addition to the abolition of the garrison system and the increase in the number of recruits, the corruption of officers is also a reason that cannot be ignored. His Majesty is worried that once the rectification of corrupt officials will start to shake the morale of the army, so he had to appease the generals and officials by continuously increasing military pay, which also makes the corruption in the army increasingly fierce.

Bang, Wang Kefei retreated heavily and beat the case in front of him.

What I love says is reasonable, this is my fault!When the opportunity is ripe, I will definitely deal with these sluts.Jiannu has been in trouble in China for decades. If he is not my race, his heart will be different.Even if I end up in pieces, I still want to defend my Ming Dynasty and share the deep hatred of the people. The Ming Dynasty, there is only one thing that has not changed since the eternal inheritance, that is, bloodline and character!

In the past life, people entered the pass. At the beginning, they were fighting against the banner of avenging Emperor Chongzhen. After entering the capital, they immediately turned against each other. On the tenth day of Yangzhou, the three massacres of Jiading, the eighty-one of Jiangyin, the Datong Massacre, the Gengyin Massacre, and the Guangzhou Massacre. The death toll was between 40 million and 80 million, which is known in history as the Manchu Massacre.

The massacre has left many counties in China with no villages, no villages, no family, no one, no wife.Mr. Lu Xun commented on this: The Qing army entered the pass and slaughtered the backbone and shame of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty.The loyal and brave men who were thoughtful and dared to resist in the Ming Dynasty were almost killed, leaving behind a large number of submission slaves.

There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the Ming Dynasty. History is unforgettable and will never be forgotten.In this life, I am here. Don’t forget the national humiliation. I will definitely not let the historical tragedy happen again.

Your Majesty is wise!Li Yan bowed and then said:

Fourth, it is the out of control of businessmen's morality.This is fully demonstrated by the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants.

As far as I know, the Eight Great Masters not only traded with Jiannu and provided various prohibited materials, but also used them as the eyes and ears of Jiannu to spy on military information.

They manipulated the trade activities in Zhangjiakou, and secretly sent military supplies and intelligence to the Qing Dynasty in the name of merchants, and provided food to the Qing Dynasty in the most difficult time. They were famous traitors.

Yes, every piece of copper earned by Shanxi merchants may be buried with an unjust soul.

Indeed, many Shanxi merchants were completely selfish money animals at that time, with no country or nation in their eyes, and no business ethics at all.

They sold food, weapons, intelligence, and sufficient internal support to the Qing army to help the Qing army enter the pass and rob. The money and figures robbed by the Qing army were sold to Shanxi merchants for more materials, thus forming a deformed and bloody trade chain. The two sides worked closely together to dig deep into the corners of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in order to commend their outstanding contributions, Shunzhi gave the eight imperial merchants the names and some privileges.

In the Qing Dynasty, the top 16 large consortiums in the country were all in Shanxi, and this phenomenon was not accidental.

My dear, I have recorded the eight merchants in Shanxi, and the grasshoppers after autumn are not unreported, the time has not come.Let him remember this account first, sooner or later, I will settle it with them.My dear continued.

Wang Kefei's side face looked cold and resolute because of his tenseness. His serious appearance was inviolable and powerful, and he deserved to be the arrogant king.

Fifth, natural disasters and plagues.Li Yan continued.

Your Majesty, I have studied the history and found that droughts have become more and more frequent during the Wanli and Chongzhen periods, droughts have become more and more frequent, with droughts in the north and flooding in the south, and natural disasters have been severe.In all parts of the north, severe drought and great cold directly result in food production, no harvest of farmland, starvation, and nine out of ten rooms were empty.The minister believes that food is out of stock, and the people have no choice but to compete with mice for food, which has triggered a major outbreak of the plague.Your Majesty doesn’t need to let go. This is God’s will and cannot be done by human power. What a pity!

It seems that God is unwilling to help the Ming Dynasty. There is a word called natural disasters and man-made disasters. Although there have been natural disasters throughout the dynasties, it has to be said that the dynasty encountered the most natural disasters, and the disasters were very serious. This was a devastating disaster for the backward feudal dynasty.

The Jiajing earthquake, the Little Ice Age, the Apocalypse Blast, the Great Rat plague, and the four natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty followed one after another, which seemed very bizarre. Especially during the Little Ice Age, the temperature suddenly dropped, and even dropped to the lowest point in a thousand years. The winter was extremely cold, causing a large-scale decline in grain output, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to a huge empire.

The entire temperature rebounded around 1650 after the demise of the Ming Dynasty. After Kangxi came to power, the Little Ice Age ended, and then the so-called Kanggan prosperous era came.

Wang Kefei lowered his eyes, gently raised the teacup and leaned against his lips, pondering without saying a word.

After a while, he took a sip of tea, put down his cup and smiled:

Li Qing, I dare not forget my country’s worries because of my low position. I feel so comforted! I have an idea to deal with the natural disasters, and I will surely ensure that the people of the Ming Dynasty have food and clothing. My dear continued.

I obey the order, but... Your Majesty, this sixth person may be very disrespectful and I dare not say anything.

My dearest words are fine, but I can’t regret it?

Thank you Your Majesty!

Li Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a calm expression: This sixth is a party struggle without a bottom line.As the emperor, His Majesty worked hard for the country day and night. Since ascending the throne, he first eliminated Wei Zhongxian, then cleared the officials and governments of the Qing Dynasty, killed Yuan Chonghuan, and imitated Emperor Taizu, and devoted himself to everything, which made the Ming Dynasty's government a brand new, which seemed to be a diligent act, but it was actually...

The former Emperor Guangzong retained Wei Zhongxian to restrict the use of the Donglin Party in the court. Although the eunuch party should be killed, it should not be killed, which led to the Donglin Party becoming bigger. Now, the court is full of Jinling or the capital, who is not a member of the Donglin Party?

Your Majesty seems to be the imperial power over the official power, but he is very difficult to do it step by step.And the Donglin Party is all appointed by the court and is well-read in history, but she is slanderous and disobedient to the court. She is very treacherous and loyal. Any opponent who agrees, the Donglin Party opposes; whatever the opponent opposes, the Donglin Party approves. What's more, the Donglin Party is a group that covers the capital, Nanjing and even the whole country. It's so terrible that it has never happened in the past.

Li Yan talked endlessly that as an ancient man, it is really rare and valuable to have these insights.

Party struggles are not a problem, but party struggles without bottom line will cause the terminally ill patients to suffer even more miserable troubles and even kill them.

The fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the institutional ills accumulated over the past two hundred years, which had long been difficult to recover and were terminally ill.

At the same time, it is impossible to suppress the land annexation of powerful groups, and it is difficult to escape the three hundred-year dynasty cycle. Finally, internal and external troubles are difficult to sustain.

In the words of Li Zicheng, who directly overthrew the Ming Dynasty, it means that the energy has been exhausted.

The party struggle without bottom line sounded the death knell of the Ming Empire's demise. It was the so-called patriotic Donglin Party that became the gravediggers of the Ming Empire.

Based on this, my suggestion is to reduce the number of people in the court. Anyone who attends court must have a rank of more than three ranks.Those under the third rank are not required to be official positions or appointed by the emperor, and do not need to attend court.In this court, it is important to strive for excellence, and there is no way for many people to do it.

To put it bluntly, Li Yan’s suggestion is similar to the current Politburo Standing Committee, where people are not as numerous as others but as elite.

Once there are too many people, it is like going to the market, and it is difficult to reach an agreement by talking about everything and talking about everything.

Li Yan slowly stood up and fell to the ground for the fourth time.

Your Majesty, I am a scholar. The wisdom of ordinary people is three feet tall. Now I risk my life to give advice. There is nothing else. I just want my lord to be stable and prosperous. I only care about the power and work hard for the country. I have no other thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will observe clearly.

After saying that, Li Yan bowed to the ground and kowtowed.

Wang Kefei once again helped him up with his own hands.

Li Qing, a word awakened the dreamer. I have received the instruction. I am not as good as you in this plan and win a thousand miles away.Today I feel different from my beloved today, and I feel that it is different from the past. The ancients said: The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the sincere ministers. If there are more loyal ministers like Li Aiqing in the court, why worry about the unfair situation in the world?

The long river of history flows by, nothing will remain unchanged, and old things will eventually be overwhelmed by the trend.

We must learn to reform. Only by continuous innovation can we continue to develop and not be eliminated by society.

…………

The emperor, the empress and Mrs. Li asked for a meeting.

The two were having a good chat, and a little eunuch came to report.

Please feel free.

These two ladies went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers for a long time, and now they are finally back.

I have met Your Majesty, and the civilian women will meet Your Majesty.

The beloved concubine is flat, and Mrs. Li is exempted from gifts.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Mrs. Li, don’t be called a civilian woman anymore.From today on, your husband is my first minister of the cabinet, the crown prince, the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Palace, and you are also the first-class lady of the imperial edict and the wife of the destiny.

The Hongniang was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan also nodded with a smile.

I am a humble concubine to serve as my husband, thank Your Majesty!The queen girl Yingying said thankfully.

Queen Zhou also bowed her body to her.I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on your good ministers and your efforts to repay you. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on your progress and further progress.

Immediately afterwards, she said in a sweet voice:

Your Majesty, I and Sister Hong hit it off at first sight, and had a great chat, as if they were destined to be friends.I... I want to have a Jinlan with my sister.

Wang Kefei was slightly stunned and then chuckled.

OK, very good!It is enough to have a close friend in life, but I just want to understand you.I also have the will to always be by the queen, but the country is busy and I have no way to get out of it.Mrs. Li can enter the palace at any time to accompany me.Mrs. Li travels all over the world, eliminates violence and maintains good fortune, and can tell the interesting stories and what she sees and hears during the march to the queen. It is really not to be hiding the wife, even I want to hear it very much.hehe.

As soon as Wang Kefei waved his hand, a palace maid brought the palace waist card.

The waist card is the pass of the ancients. People of different identities and levels must wear waist card of different materials and shapes. With the imperial waist card, the dignitaries can enter and exit the palace at will.

I am grateful to Your Majesty for your praise, thank you for your kindness!

The Matchmaker took over the waist card.

Hey, why do you still call me Empress?It's sister!Wang Kefei reminded him in kindness.

elder sister.

younger sister.

The two women's hands were tightly held together again.

But they would never have thought that Wang Kefei's bad intentions had already hit the new sister-in-law.

Emperor.

At this time, Wang Chengen came over and said softly: Emperor, it’s getting late, it’s time to have a meal.

Wang Kefei looked up at the sky and found that it was already sunset.

At this time, when Wang Chengen said this, Wang Kefei finally felt a little hungry. His day was both negotiation and hospitality, which was really fulfilling.

He rubbed his stomach and stood up and said: People are iron rice and steel, and they will never eat hungry!No matter how big the matter is, there is nothing more important than filling your stomach. Let’s go, today I am working, I just want to have a home meal with Li Qing and Miss Hong.

The family banquet was set up in a side hall in the Ganqing Palace. Although there were no delicacies or delicious foods, I also got a few hard dishes.Before the few people arrived, they smelled the scent that was coming to their noses.

Li Qing, please sit down!Wang Kefei gave up the chair opposite him and continued:

In my life, I don’t love money, sex, and I don’t love any fine wine and food. What I ask for is nothing more than the desire to revive the Ming Dynasty and continue the foundation of the century-old foundation of Daming.

After saying that, even Wang Kefei himself didn't consciously spit out for a moment. He didn't love sex, and he believed it, that is, to coax Li Yan, who is a gentleman, if he knew that he was thinking about his wife, he would not jump up and curse her?

Li Yan was already very moved.

I am a rude person. I cannot help Your Majesty govern the country and the world as Zhang Juzheng. I cannot lead thousands of troops and show my power. I am favored by Your Majesty and grant the position of the Chief Supervisor. I should do my best to do my best to be loyal to the country and live up to Your Majesty’s trust.

Wang Kefei waved his hand.

Li Qing is humble again. Having ability means having ability!Heroes don’t ask where they come from. I hate those humble and humble manners the most.Although this world is the world of my Zhu family, the Ming Dynasty has a big business!I can’t take care of it alone, and the burden on you is not light!

When you drink a close friend, you can’t drink a thousand cups of glass. Some people will never become friends in their lifetime. Even if there is no barrier between them, because they lack things they are interested in, and like-minded people can quickly get along.

At least, Li Yan thinks so.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Yan was obviously drunk. Look at his swaying look, it seemed that there was no eunuch holding him next to him, and he was about to fall head-on under the table.

The Hongniang also felt a little drunk, her face was flushed and she was so cute.

She rolled her tongue and said with a hint: Your Majesty, the Queen sister... is so... versatile and dignified, but my sister... only knows how to dance with guns and sticks. I really envious of you after seeing you.

After saying that, he lay on the table almost at the same time as Li Yan.

…………

Li Qing was drunk, haha, my partner, please help Li Qing and Mrs. Hong to go to the West Warehouse to rest.I have passed on my oral instructions that there is no need to be on duty at night in the Ganqing Palace today, and all eunuchs and palace maids will be removed and given a banquet to celebrate with all their heart.

I obey the order!...

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Wang Kefei's mouth, like a ripple on his face, quickly crossing his face, and then condensed into two sparks in his eyes, disappearing into deeper into his eyes in an instant.

Feng'er, are you full?When you are full, go back to the palace to rest first.Tonight, I still have a lot to do, so I can't get over it.

Zhou Yufeng mistakenly thought that her husband wanted to handle the court affairs again, so she couldn't help but sigh:

Your Majesty, Your Majesty should place the dragon body first!It’s better to take a break earlier, the Ming Dynasty’s country is all about His Majesty!
