Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei Chapter 144

The new emperor ascended the throne, Jianyuan Chongzhen, this was the time of the new dynasty and new atmosphere, and the new emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne.

But the current Chongzhen Emperor, who was succeeded by a vassal king, far exceeded the expectations of the court officials.

Ever since that letter, written by Li Xiu, a confidant of the emperor, was refuted by the ministers, the emperor fell into complete silence.

Of course, this silence is a silence that makes people unable to speak badly.

After all, if it is said that the emperor ignores the government and indulges in pleasure, it seems not to be the case. Except for the month when the party was fierce, the emperor never absent from the court during the rest of the time.

As for enjoyment... In today's harem, apart from the few beautiful girls selected by Queen Zhang recently, I have never heard of which woman the emperor is obsessed with.

However, since Chongzhen was built in the Yuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has never expressed any opinion that belongs to the Son of Heaven on the affairs of state affairs.

On that seal, the word "ke" was the most common.

This also makes the ministers secretly speculate and discuss non-stop. Of course, a consensus has already been formed, that is, the new emperor was shocked by the storm of the post-Golden theory.

As for whether it is good or bad, I can't tell at the moment, but, as far as the emperor's actions are concerned, it is undoubtedly very consistent with the image of the holy emperor in the hearts of scholars and officials.

Therefore, although the Son of Heaven does not manage, the court and the parties are constantly fighting, and the country is in chaos, but the court and the opposition are actually praised, and there is faint praise from the Holy Son of Heaven.

All of this is naturally and clearly seen in Zhu You's eyes.

As for Zhu Youjian's actions, it was natural that Li Xiu's obscure suggestion was indispensable.

After going through that turmoil, Li Xiu's thoughts on letting Zhu Youjian take control of the political power immediately became a lot lighter.

Instead of spending energy now, fighting with the old fox of the dynasty, and getting stabbed in the backhand even a little carelessly, it would be better for Zhu Youjian to be quiet and see clearly the essence of this official of the dynasty, and who can use it. Who is unusable, and then go to plot other.

In other words, keep a low profile and bide your time, and then accumulate a lot of money and make a blockbuster.

There are endless disputes in the court, and this world is also evolving like a raging fire.

In fact, the natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty did not erupt on a large scale after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne. The hazards of the Little Ice Age were completely manifested from the Wanli period.

Then it has been in a state of spreading and intensifying, and it has reached a peak during the Chongzhen years.

Such a large-scale and unstoppable natural disaster, not to mention a late dynasty that is on the verge of collapse, even if it is placed in later generations, a later-generation country with a sound governance structure will have to make a big mess.

Therefore, the places where the natural disasters in the north are swept up are also in chaos.

It is completely predictable that for a long time in the future, all parts of the northern part of Daming will be trapped in an infinite loop.

That is the suppression of thieves, the resurgence of ashes, and the suppression of thieves again...

Just like in the current battle against thieves in Yan'an, Li Xiu could only choose to sacrifice some people who could have lived well when there was no time left to help and resettle the people.

Otherwise, as soon as the front foot is released, the back foot cannot survive, and if someone stirs up, and then betrays, there will be no psychological pressure.

I have to say, this is also a tragedy.

The funny thing is that Yang He has been criticizing Li Xiu for sabotaging the overall situation of thieves, and he has been attacking him from various angles, but he has ignored this point.

It was naturally impossible that he couldn't see it, but once he played it and brought the matter to the fore, Li Xiu was not the one to offend.

The victims need to be resettled. Where does the money and food come from? Can Yang He solve the problem of money and food?

He can't solve it, and he also knows that the gentlemen in the court can't solve it either.

After all, the imperial treasury only has so little money and food every year, and it is not enough to supply the six departments of the court. Is it possible to increase taxes for the sake of the disaster victims?

If you increase the tax of the common people, you will be stabbed in the spine. This will smear your reputation, and the lofty gentlemen will not do it.

To collect taxes from gentry and merchants?

This is bullshit.

Who dares to open this mouth, this gentleman of the dynasty, must let him know why the flowers are so red.

Since it can't be solved, then pretend that there is no such thing, cover your ears and steal the bell, everyone will do it.

And Yang He, of course, is very clear about this, and even, as the governor of the three sides, he has three sides of the heavy army, but to a large extent, it is because of this.

After all, once a war is fought, the army pays and pays food and grass, which is not a small sum. The imperial court dispatches troops and recaptures the occupied county government. The resettlement of the victims is on the bright side. This is another bottomless pit. It was Yang He's responsibility to make trouble.

It's better to give a name and appease things. When there is food in hand, or the natural disaster is over, it is not a matter of a word to round up these thieves and bandits.

Only now, no one would have imagined that these rare natural disasters in dozens of hundreds of years would become the norm in the future and quickly spread to the whole world.

Such a state of affairs, therefore, often makes Li Xiu feel absurd that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone.

In fact, according to his initial expectations, this battle against thieves would naturally sweep across the whole of Shaanxi like an autumn wind sweeping leaves.

But now, with the continuation of the war and the inaction of the court, until now, he is also somewhat powerless.

Although in Zhending Mansion, he used the huge amount of silver taels that Zhu Youjian appropriated from the internal treasury several times to save a substantial wealth for the Yongwei Camp, but he couldn't stand the huge pit in Shaanxi!

The sixteen counties in the three prefectures of Yan'an Prefecture were occupied by Wu Xuan, reaching eleven counties.

Today, the number of Yongwei Camp has reached as many as seven counties, and the rest of the villages and towns are even more numerous.

But the war has continued to this day, and the court has not sent one official or one official to govern it. Of course, this is naturally not the court's intention to let it go. In fact, whether it is the princes of the capital in the capital or the governor of Shaanxi, they are all attached great importance.

After all, the officials of the herdsmen were vacant, and the small half of the Yan'an government's military and political power were all in the hands of Li Xiu, which was tantamount to the disaster of the vassal town.

But no matter what, there are very few people willing to go to the poor place of Yan'an Prefecture to be an official. In addition, the people of Shaanxi are in chaos now, and everyone is afraid of death. After all, no one wants to take office soon.

Forcibly sent, there are not no ones who go directly to the seal.

Moreover, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the Wu Xuan division of Yan'an Prefecture has been decided, but after repeated victories, it has also led to the fact that there are countless defeated enemies in the seven counties.

Today, the center of gravity of the Guard Camp is naturally not above these remnant enemies. This also leads to the fact that although the land of these seven counties has been recovered, it is not stable at all. Even, just a few days ago, the imperial court came to take office. The county magistrate was robbed by a group of grass bandits, and the magistrate is still alive and dead.

Under these various reasons, it has also led to the delay in the improvement of the official system in various places, which has also led to a lot of Li Xiu's energy, which is also restrained by these trivial matters.

In addition, he has to face all kinds of guns and arrows from time to time. It's like this time the county magistrate's life and death are unknown. Li Xiu doesn't have to think about it. Yang He must have an impeachment memorial.

Above the court, there was another storm.

With all kinds of restraints, all kinds of black hands in the open and secret, Li Xiu finally realized what it means to be strong and useless.

I finally understand how helpless a pure warrior, a warrior without the slightest foundation in the court, and a warrior born in a non-civilian system, must be in this era of civil officials.
