Boundless Sky

Chapter 502: Give you another chance

Cheng Hao listened with gusto. As a senior homeboy, he liked to listen to stories, especially the stories of people with too many regrets like Chongzhen, which interested him even more.

"When I succeeded to the throne, I was at a dangerous moment. At this time, the traitorous **** Wei Zhongxian was in power, and his minions were all over the court. The whole court called these people "eunuchs."

"Before my brother died, he specifically asked me to reuse Wei Zhongxian. If the castrated party does not fall, the Donglin Party and others will not be able to turn the sky. Daming, the devastated ship, can continue to maintain it."

"In fact, when I was young, I always naively believed that the emperor had great power and was even omnipotent. To get rid of a person, it would be as easy as squeezing an ant.

I was only seventeen years old at the time. Although I grew up in the palace and knew a lot of tricks, but after all, I had never really been an emperor, and I thought too much about the emperor's trade-offs. "

"I also thought about following my brother's orders, and didn't want to kill Wei Zhongxian directly. But later, I found out that I was wrong. The position of the emperor was not as simple as I thought. At this time, Wei Zhongxian is no longer the same as his brother was alive. That only dog ​​has turned into a wolf."

"I can allow the hungry wolves to forage outside, but Wei Zhongxian, the hungry wolf, has already been full of minions, whether in the palace or outside the court. Perhaps even myself may become his prey. For him, it is actually not difficult to control another emperor secretly!"

"In order to protect myself, I can only reach an agreement with the Donglin Party and others to eliminate the eunuchs! The process of eliminating evil is very difficult. It is like playing chess. If you miss a step, you will lose all the games and even threaten. To my life."

Hearing this, Cheng Hao interrupted Chongzhen's words and asked with interest: "After you killed Wei Zhongxian, have you ever regretted it?"

"Everyone says that Wei Zhongxian is immortal, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal. I basically want to understand this principle later, but even if I understand it, I have no choice. If Wei Zhongxian does not die, my imperial power cannot be guaranteed. His Existence makes me feel unhappy in my throat! I have never regretted killing him!"

"The only thing I regret is that killing him was too hasty and failed to handle the follow-up handover properly, and was unable to effectively restrict the later Donglin Party. The most important thing is that I did not have the money that Wei Zhongxian had collected in those years. Get it!"

When it comes to the word money, the regret on Chongzhen's face is getting stronger.

"In fact, although Daming has been precarious, it is not hopeless. What was lacking at that time was the only word of money!"

"If Wei Zhongxian's money can be collected by me in the internal treasury and has enough wealth to support it, I will not have to cry for hundreds of thousands of taels in the future to beg for donations from officials in the court!"

"Without money, I can't build a strong army!"

"Without money, I can't help and calm the chaos in time when natural and man-made disasters happen!"

"Without money, I don't have any confidence in my heart to completely tear up my face with the Donglin Party members!"

"Actually, the people of my Ming Dynasty are really simple and well managed. As long as they can give them a bite, as long as they don't die, even if there is a little hope of living, they will not rebel."

"What I lack is just some money, some money that can guarantee the people's survival at critical moments and will not starve to death and rebellion. Even if only a million taels of silver, I can continue to support the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"With money, strong soldiers, and time, I will have the opportunity to rectify the officials, rectify the land annexation, and rectify the satiated landlord squires who eat under the protection of those in the East Forest Party."

Cheng Hao quietly listened to Chongzhen complaining about the word money. Actually speaking, the king of the subjugated kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was indeed a bit bitter. In his 17 years in power, he has always been depressed. Have to think of ways everywhere.

In fact, the end of Ming Dynasty was also an era when famous generals appeared in large numbers.

Sun Chengzong's wisdom, Yuan Chonghuan's perseverance, Cao Wenzhao's might, Zuo Liangyu's bravery, Lu Xiangsheng's steadfastness, Sun Chuanting's strategy, and Yang Sichang's scholars died for confidants, building the last strong wall in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, Chongzhen, who lives in the deep palace all the year round and has never walked out of the Forbidden City, has a very serious personality defect.

Suspicious, extremely suspicious!

When the Emperor Taiji Soldier approached the city of Beijing, he could take off his coat and put it on Yuan Chonghuan with his own hands. He only hoped that Yuan Chonghuan could work harder, but soon he ordered him to be executed.

When the peasant uprising army burned and plundered the Ming Emperor's Tomb in Fengyang, he resolutely issued the "Guilty Edict" to review his own faults and put the blame on the ministers. He just hoped that they could work harder.

But his suspicious character made him execute some civil servants to vent his anger soon.

He is very frugal and his clothes are patched.

He worked very hard, going to court during the day, working overtime at night, and working seven or eight hours a day.

He was very firm, even if he knew his ending, he still worked hard and did his best, and did not give up until the end. In the past 17 years, he has written the "Guilty Edict" six times to review his own faults.

But these are still useless. He worked very hard. He wanted to be a Mingjun, but his talents were limited and his character was suspicious. At the last moment, he was still admiring civil servants and generals, but the next moment, he might be degraded for being suspicious. Lord Chaotang.

The defect in his character made him lack of loyal courtiers to follow. Chaotang’s embarrassment and lack of finances made him unable to control the world, and his plans could not even leave the Forbidden City.

During the Little Ice Age, land annexation was serious, the imperial government was unable to make ends meet, and peasant uprisings continued in various places. The Donglin Party members were content to enjoy themselves and were busy fighting inwardly. The imperial court became a mess that could not be helped.

"'Well Ming Dynasty, the energy is exhausted!' This is the eight words in a sentence issued by Li Zicheng before I assembled all the troops in Xi'an to set off for the capital when I was in power for 16 years. God, your old man is Lord of heaven, can you tell me that the demise of my Ming is really exhausted and cannot be changed?"

Although Chongzhen has become the king of subjugation, he is still very reconciled to the demise of Daming in his heart, and he is deeply unwilling to give up to Daming.

"How much aura?" Cheng Hao smiled, "I won't say that Daming's aura is endless, but since you can meet me, then it means that your Chongzhen's aura is not exhausted!"

"After the emperor's life, you must be enough to become a qualified emperor in terms of knowing people."

Cheng Hao stood up and looked at Chongzhen condescendingly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Then Chongzhen, if you let your master and servant return to the moment you took the throne with memories, do you have the confidence to let Daming rise again?"
