After hanging up the communication, Emperor Chongzhen began to want to talk to Liu Weichao again.
This has become a habit of his. The reason for this is that Liu Weichao's speech is not easy to understand and he often makes shocking remarks.
No matter from which perspective, it is worthy of Emperor Chongzhen's careful consideration.
Just this time, Liu Weichao told him some very important things. For example, in the upcoming Central Plains War, the outlaw Li Zicheng would have the last laugh. Moreover, Jianlu would enter the Pass again in the second half of the year.
These things are very bad news for him. For him at present, there is simply nothing he can do.
The only thing that can be done is to follow Liu Weichao's suggestion and recall the most powerful civil servants and generals, raise money, and rebuild the army!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen became even more confident in raising money starting tomorrow, and there would be no room for problems. He also had more expectations for the amount.
Of course, Liu Weichao said that he would learn how to make glass tomorrow, which made him look forward to it. However, it takes time to make the glass and sell it.
Just as Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, he suddenly felt the cell phone he was holding vibrate.
He looked down and found a picture sent by Liu Weichao, so he quickly opened it and looked at it.
This picture is full of words, arranged horizontally from left to right, and the words are still missing arms and legs, but after Emperor Chongzhen looked at it carefully, he could probably understand it.
The words above are not the glass making method, but the introduction of the Lu Xiangsheng family.
from father
Lu Guoyun (?-1645), courtesy name Gongxiang, was born in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. He died in Zhan Xinqiao.
Lu Guozhen (?-1645), courtesy name Zhongye, was born in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. He died in Zhan Xinqiao.
Lu Guohong (?-1645), courtesy name Junkuo, was born in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. He died in Zhan Xinqiao.
peer
younger brother……
After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked.
It’s true that most of Lu Xiangsheng’s family, including his father, younger brothers and younger brothers, died in battle and martyred their country, and there were even those who became monks, not a single one of them had any weak points.
Compared to Hong Qing...that Hong Chengchou is really incomparable.
If you add in the fact that Liu Weichao once said that when the Ming Dynasty fell, hundreds of officials welcomed the thieves and the rebels, then the Lu Xiangsheng family is even more commendable!
It's just a pity that Lu Qing is dead!
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, his phone suddenly vibrated, and Liu Weichao sent another message one after another, several in one breath, all in voice mode.
So, Emperor Chongzhen quickly clicked on it to hear what it said.
"In the late Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng was one of the people I most admired. He was both civil and military, and finally died in battle for his country. His family did not complain about your injustice to Lu Xiangsheng, and eventually they became loyal to the country. In your era when there were so many weaklings everywhere.
, they are all really worthy of admiration!”
"Do you know why Lu Xiangsheng died in the end? According to my understanding, it was Lu Xiangsheng who violated the interests of the scholar-officials."
"In view of your helplessness when the national treasury was empty at that time, he did not think of raising three taxes, but proposed a grain-based policy. Any farmer who paid a tax of less than five taels would not be levied an additional tax;
The above-mentioned wealthy households will be levied additional grain taxes to varying degrees according to the amount of their property."
"Tell me, whose interests did Lu Xiangsheng harm by collecting taxes? It is not difficult to understand that he would end up like this in the end. Of course, if you were an emperor who knew everything, you might still be able to save Lu Xiangsheng. It's a pity that you are not!"
When he heard this sentence, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little sad: He is indeed not an emperor who knows everything!
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered what Liu Weichao once mentioned to him about whose interests the emperor represented. It seemed that if he thought about it from this perspective, he could understand that Lu Xiangsheng was right and he should be protected!
With this thought in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen nodded to Liu Weichao's next words and continued to listen.
"There is another saying in later generations: if Sun Chuanting dies, the Ming Dynasty will perish! It means that Sun Chuanting is your last Optimus Prime. After he dies in battle, the Ming Dynasty is actually destined to perish."
"Sun Chuanting was also imprisoned by you for several years. How much time was wasted in suppressing thieves, which gave the thieves opportunities to develop and grow. Let me tell you, why Sun Chuanting ended up like this is actually the same reason as Lu Xiangsheng!"
"In order to solve the problem of money and food, Sun Chuanting cleared the villages to pay for his wages. In the name of ancestral system, he took back all the military fields that had been occupied by the landlords. Naturally, he offended all the powerful people who occupied the military fields. They were attacked by the crowd.
You can't be in a high position and realize the root cause of all things. If three people become tigers, even a saint who is not wrong at all will be punished by you!"
"I didn't say these words to you via video, but changed them to voice. I just want you to think more about it and see if what I said is right? It may be helpful for you to recognize people in the future!"
"We are people from two planes and have no interest in each other. I am saying this for your own good. Maybe it will be a bit harsh for you, but I really hope you can think more about it!"
"Okay, go to bed now, good night!"
Emperor Chongzhen was silent after listening to everything.
Lu Xiangsheng's grain-sharing policy caused controversy in the court. In the end, because of the need for fairness, it became equal grain, which means everyone pays equally.
As for Sun Chuanting's Qingtun settlement, Emperor Chongzhen had never heard of it before.
Because Sun Chuanting did what he did, he did it in Shaanxi. And he was holding the banner of ancestral rule, and others could not oppose it. Therefore, those whose interests were harmed attacked and framed Sun Chuanting based on his character traits.
From Emperor Chongzhen's point of view, those people's impeachment of Sun Chuanting was indeed true, so he was right to issue an order to punish him!
However, there are many things that are not as they appear on the surface. In addition, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be black. His words and literary talent, if Emperor Chongzhen dealt with matters based on the facts, it would be strange to be able to distinguish between loyal and traitorous!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about these things silently, and probably understood what Liu Weichao meant when he said these words. After sighing, he listened to it again, and then again...
It has to be said that Liu Weichao gave advice to Emperor Chongzhen, because of his special status, he was naturally persuasive, and it also gave Emperor Chongzhen a vague grasp of some methods on how to recognize people in the future.
That night, Emperor Chongzhen went to bed very late again.
The next morning, when the genius dawned, he woke up on time again.
The first thing was that Emperor Chongzhen ordered the pen and ink service to write an imperial edict in his own handwriting.
However, I was just preparing to go to court to welcome the donation that was about to begin today.
The palace gates opened, and all civil and military officials entered the Forbidden City in order.
On the other side, Wang Chengen also heard the report from his subordinates outside the palace, and rushed there before Emperor Chongzhen went to court to report the news he had just received.
