Zhu Youjian was holding a piece of book-pressed jade in his hand and kept turning it, with a look of panic on his face.
Zhu Youjian did not want the Ming Dynasty to be ruined by his own hands. The Ming Dynasty had been established for more than two hundred years by Emperor Taizu Gao, and had multiplied and supported the Zhu family's millions of royals. If the Ming Dynasty was ruined by Zhu Youjian's hands,
Above, how could Zhu Youjian go to meet his ancestors?
But looking at the current situation, things are out of control.
Li Zhi kept encroaching on Zhu Youjian's world, and now the people's hearts in this world can hardly be regained.
If Li Zhi in the past still made Zhu Youjian feel safe, it was because Li Zhi only had a tiger and fierce army, but he had no righteousness and reputation to conquer the world. Li Zhi has always appeared in front of the world as a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what
The people in one town and nine provinces, as well as the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, all understand this.
If Li Zhi rebels, he will be opposed by the world. If Li Zhi rebels against the reputation of a rebellious minister and a traitor, even if he succeeds, there will be many hidden dangers. Not to mention leaving a shameful record in history, the fact that he rebelled with powerful ministers will
Let the newly established dynasty have no legitimacy.
An empire without legitimacy is fragile, and the generals in power will initiate attempts to suppress the superiors again and again, just like the plot that was constantly playing out during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Or because the founding emperor had no legitimacy and no self-confidence, he used various means to restrict the hands and feet of the generals. In the end, because the army had no fighting capacity, he was humiliated and conquered by foreign enemies, just like the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian did not believe that Li Zhi would give up his eternal reputation as the King of Qi in the Ming Dynasty, his status as one person below ten thousand people, and his power to actually rule one town and nine provinces to create a new dynasty with no legitimacy.
But it's different now.
Now Li Zhi forced Zhu Youjian to abolish Confucianism and abolish the father and son who maintained the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Li Zhi forced Zhu Youjian to promote public morality throughout the country and use public morality examinations to select scholars. So the people all over the country understood that only those who benefited the people
An official is a good official, and only a court with a rich country and strong military can be considered a good court.
Zhu Youjian's civil servants who came from the imperial examination were obviously not good officials. Compared with Li Zhi's one-town and nine-province government, Zhu Youjian's sluggish court was definitely not a good court.
People all over the world felt resentful when they saw the prosperity of one town and nine provinces, and then the drowsy Ming Dynasty.
This resentment is getting worse day by day, and with the disintegration of Confucianism and the popularization of public morality, it has lost its restraint.
The poor people in Daming County couldn't bear it anymore. They saw the most prosperity and were stimulated the most, so they rose up angrily. The people in other places were not much better. The news would eventually spread to all places, and the people would
The resentment will eventually break out one day.
The people of Daming County hoped that Li Zhi would rule Daming County instead of Zhu Youjian.
And it won't be long before the people all over the world hope that Li Zhi will rule the country instead of the Ming Emperor. This is the real situation that Zhu Youjian's civil servants and Dongchang fans have seen all over the country, and there is no need to doubt it.
In this way, Li Zhi had the right and honor that he had always lacked.
It wasn't Li Zhi himself who wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, it was the people of the world who wanted Li Zhi to replace him.
In three years, when more and more people are against the court and long for Li Zhi, the court may not be able to control the situation at all. In six years, when the officials selected by the public ethics examination become local officials, Li Zhi
Perhaps a single memorandum could recruit all the local officials of the Ming Dynasty and overthrow the Ming Dynasty without any bloodshed.
Zhu Youjian turned the book-pressing jade in his hand desperately, his eyes filled with anxiety.
He felt that he was losing the world rapidly.
Zhang Guanghang observed the emperor's face, gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the country of Ming Dynasty is in danger! I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"
When Zhu Youjian heard this, his hands trembled and he dropped the pressure book jade on the ground.
With a clang, the jade block broke into three pieces and shattered all over the ground.
Wang Chengen closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, knowing that the matter was over. He opened his eyes, knelt on the ground, and picked up three pieces of broken jade.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Guanghang with some horror, at this famous leader of the "reform faction".
Because Zhang Guanghang spoke for Li Zhi, he was regarded as a member of Li Zhi's party by the Donglin Party that controlled the government. At that time, the Donglin Party spread rumors inside and outside the capital, saying that Zhang Guanghang and Li Zhi were having an affair, and that after Li Zhi rebelled, Zhang Guanghang would be appointed as his chief minister.
, sealed the title of Duke of Kaiguo.
Even Zhu Youjian once suspected that Zhang Guanghang and Li Zhi had a good relationship.
But in fact, Zhang Guanghang was not helping Li Zhi, but the emperor who was determined to reform at that time. At that time, Zhu Youjian was held hostage by the civil servants and could not act independently. Zhang Guanghang jumped out to speak for Li Zhi's Tianjin, which was actually for the emperor.
The new law speaks.
However, after the Donglin Party was destroyed and Li Zhi forced the court, Zhang Guanghang immediately stood against Li Zhi. Zhang Guanghang even openly opposed Li Zhi, denounced Li Zhi, and organized a group of people to confront Cui Changwu, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Zhang Guanghang was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.
This time, feeling that Li Zhi's power was about to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guanghang was as anxious as the emperor Zhu Youjian.
What Zhang Guanghang said was "make an early decision", but actually he was persuading Zhu You to take action.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Guanghang, his face turned red and white, then white and red again.
Take action against Li Zhi? How to take action?
Wang Chengen looked at Zhang Guanghang who was kneeling on the ground and took a breath.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang standing next to him, stand up.
Wang Dehua suddenly cried loudly, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the situation in Daming County is not an isolated case. From what I know, there are complaints everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. If this continues for five years, I am afraid that Li Zhi will not need to rebel, and everyone in the world will
Just rebel against Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Dehua said loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has made a decision long ago!"
Zhu Youjian leaned on the back of the throne and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said: "The King of Qi has strong soldiers and horses...you ask me to make a decision...how to make a decision?"
Wang Dehua kowtowed on the ground with a bang and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I have news from this servant. Far far away in the west, the Ottoman Kingdom, Persia and India allied forces to attack Li Zhi's southern army. Li Zhi felt that the south was in a tight situation and had already mobilized three troops.
Wan Hu Ben's army marched south."
"In these years, Li Zhi has been developing overseas. Tianjin's Tiger and Ben troops have been transferred again and again. Now if these 30,000 are gone, Tianjin will only have 50,000 Tiger troops left."
Zhu Youjian's eyes widened and he looked at Wang Dehua in panic.
Wang Dehua said loudly: "Your Majesty! All of Li Zhi's industrial bases, logistics bases, arms supply factories, and silver and grain storage and transportation warehouses are all in Tianjin. We have 200,000 new troops. As long as 200,000 new troops are required to send orders to the world to attack the rebels
Li Zhi sent troops eastward to occupy Tianjin. Li Zhi’s overseas territory is like water without a source and a tree without roots. It will fall apart in less than a year!"
