Wang Fu wanted to approve memorials, and the main purpose was to understand some specific situations outside. He went from an ordinary person in the 21st century to become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he had no previous memories. It can be said that he was now blind and could not ask others about everything.

Qian Qianyi waited in the Political Affairs Hall for a long time, and finally saw Tian Cheng coming out again, and asked quickly: "Eunuch Tian, ​​how about it? The emperor wants to summon me?"

"Old Master Qian, the emperor is very happy to hear the news of Chuanggui's defeat. However, the emperor is busy with affairs and has to review the memorials. If Mr. Qian comes only for this matter, he can go back." Tian Cheng said with a relaxed expression, but he muttered in his heart. The emperor didn't seem very happy when he heard the news. Did the emperor forget even the hatred of Chuanggui?

Qian Qianyi was angry when he heard this. Since the emperor ascended the throne, most of the political affairs were pushed to Ma Shiying. Where could there be any memorials to be criticized? This is probably just an excuse for the emperor to have fun. Naturally, he didn't know that this time he was wronged. Wang Fu was really watching the memorials seriously at this time.

If Ma Shiying wanted to see the emperor, it would be natural that the eunuch could not stop him. Qian Qianyi did not have the courage to break in the situation when the emperor was missing. He was looking for a sacrificial return, but several footsteps came outside the hall, but Ma Shiying, the Minister of War, and Wang Duo, came together.

"Master Ma."

"Mr. Wang."

"Mr. Qian."

After the three of them greeted each other, they saw Ma, and both Wang looked happy. Qian Qianyi was even more upset. He knew that these two people must have received news of a defeat and defeat, and then met the emperor.

After the chirping, Ma Shiying spoke to Tian Cheng and asked, "Eunuch Tian, ​​where is the emperor?"

"Sir, the emperor is reviewing the memorials in Wuying Hall."

"Huh." Hearing Tian Cheng's answer, Ma Shiying and Wang Duo couldn't help looking at each other, as if they heard someone say that the sun came out from the west.

It was Ma Shiying who first reacted and said to Tian Cheng without hesitation: "Eunuch Tian, ​​please lead the way. I have to meet the emperor if I have something to do."

"Yes, sir, please come here." Tian Cheng was not dissatisfied with Ma Shiying's almost orderly tone. At present, Ma Shiying is the chief minister, and the emperor only cares about food, drinks and entertainment, and almost all political affairs are controlled by Ma Shiying. Although Tian Cheng is an old man around the emperor, he still has to bow down to Ma Shiying.

Seeing Ma Shiying and Wang Duo walking towards Wuying Palace, Qian Qianyi hesitated for a moment and had to follow him.

In Wuying Hall, Wang Fu looked through the memorials one by one, and the more he looked, he became more and more annoyed. The small court had just stood up and the crisis that was forced to be in front of him had not been resolved. The ministers seemed to have felt that the world was peaceful and the matter was nothing. The memorials were either broken or fought for power and attacked each other. Among them, there were more than a dozen memorials attacking the chief minister Ma Shiying, and more than a dozen memorials from various places that required additional taxes to increase taxes. As for how to consolidate the military, clarify the administration of officials, and consolidate the regime as soon as possible, they had taken it for granted for granting for a long time, the people of Jiangnan would also support the orthodox Ming Dynasty.

"Ba." Wang Fu threw a note directly to the ground and cursed hatefully: "The short-sighted mouse is simply a national scum."

This is a memorial from an official named Chen Hongfan. On the memorial, the official was very sad that the capital was captured by the bandits in March and the emperor died. He wanted to hold a sword and kill the bandits alone to avenge the king and father. However, considering that the bandits were powerful, he wanted to keep a good person and serve the new emperor, so he did not fight the bandits to die. Now he finally thought of a way to avenge the king and father, that is, to imitate the Tang Ping'anshi Rebellion: to use the enemy to quell the bandits.

There is a large article behind Chen Hongfan's memorial, which talks about the benefits of using the enemy to pacify the enemy. What the enemy seeks is nothing more than wealth. Now the Ming Dynasty still has a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the Qing people are satisfied in terms of wealth, the Ming Dynasty may easily defeat the enemy and restore the northern land. In the least, it can also draw rivers with the Qing people and defend peace with each person.

Wang Fu was not interested in watching it again. He naturally knew that the Qing Dynasty was his enemy. If he hadn't come yet, he still couldn't figure out the situation, Chen Hongfan would definitely be in trouble soon.

When Ma Shiying and others came outside Wuying Hall, they were hearing Wang Fu's cursing voice inside. The people were very surprised. Someone was not sure who offended the emperor. Several eunuchs guarding outside saw Ma Shiying and others about to report loudly. Ma Shiying waved his hand, and several eunuchs immediately swallowed the shouts that were about to surge out.

"I will meet the emperor."

The sudden sound shocked Wang Fu. He quickly looked up and saw three stubborn men wearing big red official robes and a crane embroidered on their chests saluting him.

Wang Fu still had some understanding of the clothing of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. The embroidered crane on his chest represents the first-rank civil servants. These three people are undoubtedly first-rank ministers. However, Wang Fu could not tell who was who, but when he saw the other party breaking into the hall without even reporting, Wang Fu was still angry. He seemed to have done a little too much failure.

"Dear everyone, please don't give me a gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Shiying arched his hand slightly and saw the memorials piled on the table. He was very surprised. Could it be that the emperor had really changed his temperament? However, this may not be a good thing for him. Before he was appointed, Shi Kefa once said to others: "For the Bo from Qi Heng, listen to Guan Zhong's words to govern; listen to Yi Ya, and open up the chaos. Now what we have established is not only listening, but what is the trouble?"

However, Shi Ke's legal affairs were not secret, and this statement was spread, which caused the Donglin Party members who established Lu Wang in the name of wise and were very uproar. Ma Shiying deeply agreed with Shi Kefa's words. The former emperor was too eager to seek governance and did not trust the ministers, which eventually led to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. If power was in the hands of the ministers, as long as the righteous gentleman was in the court, he would definitely have great rule in the world. However, in the end, Shi Kefa could not withstand the pressure of the Donglin Party members and proposed to establish King Gui, wanting to compromise, but the left and right was not good. Although Ma Shiying once joined forces with the Donglin Party and wanted to establish King Lu, he was able to enter the center because of his rapid transformation. Now he really has all power in his own way. If the emperor suddenly becomes diligent, his power will be weakened, which is not what he wishes.

"What's the matter with my dear friends?" Wang Fu sat upright in his seat. He had to ask vaguely because he didn't know the identities of the three of them.

"Report to the emperor, I am here to report the good news for the emperor." Wang Duo stepped forward and replied, saying again about Li Zicheng's great defeat. Ma Shiying just picked up the memorial that Wang Fu had just thrown to the ground and looked at it.

It was the good news again, and Wang Fu almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. Everyone was about to die under the arrows of the crowd. What's the joy to be repaid?

"Well, I understand, what else do you have to do with you?"

Seeing that the emperor's reaction was so dull, Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi couldn't help looking at each other. If there were many ministers during the Chongzhen period who thought that the thief was also innocent and could be slaughtered or suppressed, after the thief broke through Beijing in March, the thief was already a national hatred, and the king and father died. No matter who mentioned the thief, he would curse him, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the thief and be crazy. It was just such a major news that the emperor seemed to have no reaction.

"Okay! OK! Your Majesty, this memorial is similar to what I see."

Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi quickly looked at Ma Shiying, but saw Ma Shiying holding the memorial he had picked up from the ground, reading and praising.

"Sir, what is the matter said in this report? I praise you so much." Qian Qianyi leaned over and asked.

"Sir, Master." Wang Fu nodded secretly when he heard this. This person was Ma Shiying. No wonder he was not restrained in front of him. He looked at the other two again. He remembered the eunuch's report just now. He knew that one of them must have Qian Qianyi, but the other could not guess who it was.

"You see, too." Ma Shiying threw the memorial to Qian Qianyi, and Wang Duo hurriedly turned around.

"Okay, Chen Hongfan is actually willing to ask himself to go to Beijing to contact the Qing emperors, and he is also a loyal and brave person." Qian Qianyi praised.

"The Chief Auxiliary, even so, Chen Hongfan is still Hong Chengchou's son-in-law, and I'm afraid he can't be a righteous envoy." Wang Duo said.

Ma Shiying smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Just choose another person as the commander. I heard that Hong Chengchou was highly valued by the Qing emperors in the north. With this relationship, I have a few more confident about this matter."

Wang Duo nodded and said, "The Chief Aunt is very optimistic, but who is the right person to be the right person?"

Ma Shiying turned to Qian Qianyi and said, "This is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, so how about asking Lord Qian to recommend it?"

Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said, "The governor of Anqing, Zuo Mao, is of pure character. His mother died in the capital by a thief. She has an irreconcilable grudge with the thief. What do you think the righteous envoy?"

Ma Shiying and Wang Duo both heard Zuo Maodi's name, and were very satisfied with this person, and nodded together: "Keep."

The three of them were about to plan to defeat the thieves and treat the emperor next to them as air. At this time, there were five cabinet ministers in Hongguang. In addition to these three, there were two others, Jiang Yueguang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Shenyan, the Minister of Personnel. Although these two were not there, as long as Ma Shiying nodded, it would be useless even if these two people opposed it.

After the matter of uniting the enemy to suppress the thieves, the three of them had already begun to discuss how much money they should use to bribe the Qing people. The Ming Dynasty lost the north and did not have to bear the huge military expenses in the north. The finances should be much more abundant than before. However, the four towns in Jiangbei relied on the decision-making achievements and threatened the court to ask for huge military expenses. In less than a month, the court had paid the money to the four towns in Jiangbei for half a year. In addition, Zuo Liangyu's Chu army, 60,000 Beijing soldiers, Jiang Governor, Punishment, Wu Fu, Hongkui, Zheng Cai, Huang Binqing, Huang Fei, and Bu Congshan all reached out to ask for military expenses from the Hongguang Dynasty. As a result, the military expenses alone were more than 7 million taels a year. The Hongguang Dynasty's finances had only a short surplus and immediately became tight again.

The court could not afford it, and the three of them were afraid that they would not impress the Northern Territory. In the end, they discussed giving 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 pieces of silk and satin. The delegation sent it to Beijing and presented it to the Qing people.

The more Wang Fu heard it, the more annoyed it was. It would be fine if the three of them thought they had nothing to do, but they were just around him discussing to give the huge amount of money to the enemy. The more Wang Fu heard it, the more angry he became. He could no longer help but slap the table heavily and yelled: "I don't agree!"
