"No matter what, half of the country was lost in my hands. I also understand in my heart that if Brother Chun had not turned the tide, the world would not be ashamed to be. If I could recover the rivers and mountains again, I would not be ashamed to enter the Taimiao in the future. But when I think about it carefully, I have seized Brother Chun'er's achievements." Chongzhen's tone was low and finally said: "I want to abdicate Brother Chun and be the Supreme Emperor."

The atmosphere in the palace was particularly solemn, and even the music accompanied by the side seemed to have frozen for a beat.

The emperor's father's sudden abdication was indeed beyond Zhu Cilang's expectations, but it was reasonable when he thought about it. Chongzhen's personality was originally like this, and he always had a literary atmosphere and believed in the classics of Confucianism too much, so he could easily fall into the path of self-denial, self-criticism, and self-sacrifice.

This kind of people don’t think there is any cowardice in suicide, they just think it’s a way to take responsibility. This kind of people don’t think there is any pain in self-denial, and they even feel proud and happy about it in secret. Every time they make self-criticism, they feel that they are one step closer to the saint, at least they are a gentleman and warrior who knows themselves and dares to know shame.

Such people are good people, but they are really not suitable to be emperor.

More importantly, Zhu Cilang doesn't want to be emperor yet.

Zhu Ciyang felt that his current relationship with the emperor's father was quite similar to the relationship between the head of state and the head of state.

Zhu Cixuan's state system in his previous life stipulated the system of collective heads of state. As the head of state, first, he could not command the armed forces, which deprived the emperor of his military power; second, he could not participate in activities that determine state affairs, that is, he could not participate in meetings in the cabinet; third, he could not independently decide any state affairs, that is, he could abolish the legal effect of the order; exercise formal power - he could only be responsible for sacrifices.

What is the difference between this and the current Emperor Chongzhen?

Zhu Cilang himself was a Taiweixing Lord, representing divine power; the Ming New Army was expanded from his guard camp. He held military power tightly; the four cabinet masters, six ministries and Teigaki Kodao were all his wings and controlled the regime.

This is the veritable head of the empire.

Since you already have the reality of a leader, why do you still have to take on the false reputation of a head of state?

If we talk about the achievements of regaining Beijing, wouldn’t the reign title be Chongzhen? Will the role of the crown prince be written in history books?

"Please take back my father's life!" Zhu Cixuan stood up and knelt down, wanting to pretend to be in a fearful and terrified manner. Unfortunately, his skills were not focused on his acting skills, but he still spoke in a proper tone: "The late emperor once regarded his father as Yao and Shun, but was accidentally changed by a mediocre man. Now it is the time when the Ming Dynasty is restored and the sun and moon are reopened, how can the emperor retreat? My son believes that even if the emperor's father wants to abdicate, he should be in his eighties and the emperor will follow the emperor's rule."

Chongzhen knew that his son must have refused, but he did not expect that he would refuse so firmly and skillfully.

Chongzhen couldn't help but chuckled, "Minister retired in his seventies. Will the emperor abdicate in his eighties in the future?"

At the age of ninety, Chongzhen knew that he might not be able to live to that age. So this is the speaking skill. Not only did he advise the emperor not to abdicate, but he also wished the emperor a hundred years of life, so that he would not make people feel nauseous.

"The importance of state affairs is very important, and it is very important for people to take responsibility." Zhu Cilang said: "My son is seeing the emperor's father be healthy. Even when he is in his eighties, he may not be old. The so-called abdication is just to allow the emperor's father to enjoy family happiness."

This was originally just a fun thing. Unexpectedly, the emperor and the empress changed their colors. The Tian couple, who were supporting each other, thought of a very terrible situation: What if the emperor really lives to his 80s, would he let his son be the crown prince for the rest of his life?

"The state affairs are indeed too heavy." Chongzhen sighed, "Emperor, it will be almost the same as the year of destiny." He looked at the prince who was quite ambitious and smiled, "For my father, I can't be an emperor for fifteen years. I don't know how much merit you will be greedy for."

"Father and son are one. If the sons have some achievements, they will not embarrass the two adults. They rely on the teachings of the adults. How can there be a saying of greed for merit?" Zhu Cixuan agreed to the emperor's advice to retire at the age of 50, and was also quite moved.

Many emperors in history were young and promising. They looked down on the world, but when they got older, they looked old and confused. Among them, the more representative one was Li Longji. After he got old, he was not only confused, but also a little old bastard. If he retired at the age of fifty, he would still have the energy to walk around and play around, and he would be in a good mood, and he would not be able to live beyond a hundred years.

Furthermore, in this situation, whether the emperor truly abdicates or has a temporary emergency, the scholars and materials are mostly about saying that the crown prince has a disobedient heart and a rebellious act. Since he refuses to give up his authority, it is better to let this "destiny abdication" be made public to avoid anyone spitting out the slurs.

"Father," Zhu Cixuan smiled, "When I return to Beijing in the future, can my son still organize the memorials for my father?"

Chongzhen was happy and joked: "The ancients called the 'counter-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-governor-g

"Thank you the grace of Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to use Wenhua Palace as the general secretary." Zhu Cilang climbed onto the position of "Deputy King" without any concern.

Wenhua Palace was originally the place where the crown prince handled official duties, and the roof tiles were also made of green and green glazed to deal with the eastern green color. After Xuanzong, the emperor's life span was not long, and the crown prince had succeeded to the throne before he grew up. Therefore, Wenhua Palace became another palace for the emperor's office during the reign of Emperor Shizong, and even the glazed tiles on the roof were replaced with golden yellow that represented the emperor.

Wenhua Hall is side by side with Wuying Hall, and is located east of Wuying Hall. With its historical background and Ming traditions, if Chongzhen agreed to this request, it would be equivalent to agreeing that Zhu Cixuan would continue to hold current authority after returning to Beijing. This to a certain extent was also considered to restore the ancestral system.

However, changing the emperor is a major event in the world. It is not something that the emperor can abdicate by saying that he wants to abdicate. It will definitely cause an uproar. In this fluctuation, there will be no fewer people who say anything strange.

Zhu Cixuan believed that if it weren't for the newspaper's vent, the memorial that flew to him now would be enough to build a paper forbidden city.

"People who should work continue to let them work, and those who don't work or don't work will make them go to the newspaper to argue." Zhu Cilang said: "Sometimes the topic is like bones. When it should be thrown, you have to throw it away so that we can do big things quietly."

Wu Yan originally positioned himself as a think tank strategist, but this time he felt that the crown prince himself had political wisdom that was not as good as his age. When the defenders were arguing about the lack of abdication in the newspaper, the court was already quietly preparing to reopen the Maritime Bureau.

When those people with political stance in Jiangnan realize that the country is about to open a large scale, they may not have time to cry. By then, not only did they miss the opportunity to invest in the Marketing Bureau, but they even had no chance to form a fleet and obtain maritime trade official guarantee.

From a long-term perspective, the sea trade business has actually curbed the natural growth of the scale of sea trade and does not conform to the laws of business. However, the Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural country and must ensure sufficient arable land area. If the sea trade, raw silk and tea as the main products are completely relaxed, the demand for sea trade will rise.

At that time, someone would inevitably change the land to plant mulberry and tea trees. The negative impact of this was already very obvious: Originally, fish and rice towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all needed to import grain from other places. The subsequent increase in grain prices would directly affect the living conditions of the lower class people and endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, once the supply volume is tightened, the price of goods will rise. Europe and Japan have a great demand for silk, tea and porcelain from China. Even if the price is higher, they will be purchased in large quantities. This will naturally accelerate the inflow of natural currencies such as gold and silver into the Ming Dynasty.

Only with a large amount of natural currency inflows can a real banknote be issued as a reserve.

This linked social progress cannot be accomplished in one or two days. Zhu Cixuan has already drawn a blueprint in his heart and is ready to use his life to push the Ming Dynasty on a track that no one can reverse. This requires a stable social environment, so sometimes, Zhu Cixuan can't help but want to make peace with the Donglu, as long as they are willing to withdraw from Beijing, they still let them stay in Liaodong for the time being.

It’s a pity that Donglu didn’t feel that he was at the end of his life.

Especially when Gong Dingzi appeared in Wuying Hall again.

...

"After several investigations, I can finally determine that the reason why Can Ming had such a return was entirely due to the power of the Ming Crown Prince Zhu Cilang." Gong Dingzi stood in the hall and talked to the seven-year-old Shunzhi and Dorgon sitting next to the throne.

He did put in some effort. He did his homework, from the 16th year of Chongzhen to the great epidemic in the capital, the crown prince went out of the palace to provide disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and formed the Eastern Palace Guard Camp, until he led his troops to pacify the enemy. He retreated all the way back to Beijing and forced Nanxing to go.

These contents are not confidential, and you can find them as long as you want to collect them. Moreover, the time is not far away, and even if you want to find someone who has experienced them, it will not be too difficult.

Dorgon had long been concerned about the prince of the Emperor Ming and wanted to find what the prince did. Unfortunately, he handed over this task to Song Hongye. Song Hongye only took the pretext of being busy with affairs and basically did not satisfy Dorgon's curiosity.

Gong Dingzi was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Chongzhen. He was only eighteen years old when Shu Xie was young and was one of the geniuses. He, together with Wu Weiye and Qian Qianyi, were called "Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo" by later generations, which shows that Wen's talents are indeed countable in the world.

However, this person was very unconventional. When Li broke into the capital, he failed to surrender to the water, and he became the direct commander of the Shun Dynasty. When Dorgon entered the capital, he was one of the people who knelt down and was appointed as the minister of the official department. He was promoted to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the left censor of the left. He was promoted step by step.

But Dorgon didn't like this person.

It was this person who once publicly said: Wei Zheng was also Taizong who surrendered later, and he could still do something.

If this was said a few months later, Dorgon would be very happy and would use this word to persuade Han officials who refused to obey. Unfortunately, when Gong Dingzi said this, he was serving as the direct commander of the rebellion. At that time, the emperor sitting in the Wuying Hall was Li Zicheng. It would be no problem for him to be Wei Zheng, but can it not be mindful to compare Li Zicheng to Emperor Taizong of Tang? Especially Dorgon was never a magnanimous person.

What's more, Gong Dingzi is too idle, and he always looks like he wants to leave early when he goes to work every day. This is even more unpopular for Dorgon, who likes workaholics.

I really didn't expect that such a person would have a sudden outbreak one day.

"As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy. Since the Cannon Ming only regards Prince Zhu as the pillar of the country, and Prince Zhu can rely on only 10,000 guards. I ask the emperor to mobilize a large army with the power of thunder and defeat his troops in one fell swoop. The name of justice and righteousness and determine the ethics of honor and inferiority, and the world should send an edict to the world!" Gong Dingzi said loudly.

Dorgon couldn't help but nod.

He had long felt that it was a wrong decision to first northwest and then southeast, but in order to win the hearts of the Han people, it was also a political attitude that he had to fight against thieves for the Ming Dynasty. Now he no longer expects to win the hearts of the Han people, but he cannot say that he was wrong. He just needed a down-to-earth step to get all the Qing soldiers back.

Gong Dingzi's memorial gave him such a step.

Not only did he give him a step to return from the army, but he also gave him a step to declare war on the Ming Dynasty: because Prince Zhu imprisoned the emperor's father, which was contrary to human ethics!

This hat is true or false, as long as it is useful!

For a moment, Dorgon suddenly felt that Gong Dingzi was not very annoying, and his chubby face was still full of cuteness! (To be continued...)
