After a tiring day, Emperor Chongzhen went to bed alone until late at night so that he could contact Liu Weichao.
If you don't contact me before going to bed, you won't be able to sleep.
After the call was connected, as before, he saw Liu Weichao's side as bright as day. Emperor Chongzhen was secretly envious of this again.
However, he did not say it out loud, but said excitedly to Liu Weichao: "I did a few things according to your suggestions today. I want to tell you about it to see if what I did is right and whether there is anything I can do."
Is it not good? Is there any room for improvement?”
Liu Weichao felt a sense of accomplishment when he heard an emperor talking to him like this, and he immediately said happily: "Okay, let's discuss it together!"
So, Emperor Chongzhen gave an overview of what happened today and explained emphatically: "I thought about it and instead of touching the traitor Zhu Chunchen first, I asked Wang Chengen to capture Luo Yangxing first. In this way, no matter what happened,
From that point of view, the relationship between Xichang and Jinyiwei is not good, and they should not collude together. Then tomorrow, I will talk to Li Ruolian and let him be the commander of Jinyiwei and be responsible for interrogating the people captured by Xichang! You see
Is this okay?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "It seems like you are trying to strike a balance. I think it's okay!"
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard this and continued: "Also, during today's meeting in the Wenhua Palace, I deliberately asked Wang Dehua to arrest Chen Yan and let them go dog-eat-dog. I also threatened Wang Dehua. If he didn't work hard, I would let him
Wang Chengen arrested him. I felt that the civil service sector was the most difficult to deal with, so I left it to Dongchang. If the situation became unmanageable, I would deal with Wang Dehua again. Moreover, by doing so, I could divert those people's attention from Westchang.
attention!"
After a pause, he added: "After the West Factory is firmly established, I will ask Wang Chengen to deal with Zhu Chunchen! These people who have been eating my salary for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty are also more difficult to deal with. Just put them behind. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Weichao was a little impressed after hearing this. It seems that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. In any case, Emperor Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years. After guiding him correctly, he can do things well!
Think about it, Emperor Chongzhen has always been a hard-working emperor, but no one taught him before. Everyone around him was either afraid of him or used him to seek benefits.
If there were people who sincerely assisted him, I am afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would not often make mistakes.
Thinking like this, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "Well done, it's much better than catching the problem or forcing things to happen! I admire you for doing these things!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very happy, and quickly made his request: "I think there are too few people who are reliable and available! Look, among the civil servants, military generals, and the palace, are there any good people?
Recommend some more to me!”
"Okay, wait a moment!" Liu Weichao replied immediately after hearing this, then put his cell phone on the table, quickly searched for information based on his memory, and then told Emperor Chongzhen.
"According to records, after the fall of the capital, the eunuchs Fang Zhenghua, Gao Shiming, Li Fengxiang, Chu Xianzhang, and Zhang Guoyuan who were ordered to supervise the battle in Baoding all died in battle and martyred their country. During the southern crossing, the Jingzhong Temple was built to commemorate the victims in honor of Wang Cheng'en.
It is the main sacrifice, and the internal ministers are Zhenghua and other supplementary sacrifices."
Having said this, he added: "Of course, it's hard to say the accuracy of this information. There is a high probability that it is true! Maybe I need to buy more books about the late Ming Dynasty and check with several parties. You can also think about it yourself.
, combine your understanding of them, or test them before using them!"
"It's really costing you money!" Emperor Chongzhen said apologetically upon hearing this, "You have no job and no income."
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It's okay. If the job is gone, just look for it. I have already submitted my resume. I should have news soon. Don't worry!"
"What about the king's heart?" Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved after hearing this, and then he pondered for a while and asked, "The eunuch I trust very much now is the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor!"
He has come to the conclusion that the eunuchs he gave great power seemed to have failed him in the end. Therefore, he was a little worried about this king's heart.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao checked again and said: "According to records, he is said to be the richest, but in the sixteen years of Chongzhen's donation, he only gave 10,000. When the capital city was destroyed, he surrendered to Li Zicheng, but
Under Li Zicheng's pursuit of stolen goods and compensation, he was tortured to death when he was asked to hand over 300,000 yuan but failed!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately became angry and said bitterly: "This damn thing, I only gave five thousand taels this time!"
Once again, he was proved to be blind. Of course, the most important thing is that the person he trusted really failed him and betrayed him, which made him very angry.
Liu Weichao didn't care about this, checked the information again, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "As for the civil servants, because the history of the Ming Dynasty was mostly written by literati, most of them were Donglin Party members, or Fushe people, and they also had the influence of Jianlu.
, so their records are likely to be biased. I will try to tell you a few, which are inferred based on the way they do things. Please listen."
"Okay, listen!" At this point, I felt a little bad again, so I asked, "I have said several things just now. I am afraid that I will miss it if I talk too much. Otherwise, why don't you just send me a voice message?"
This way I won’t worry about missing anything!”
When Liu Weichao heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you a voice message!"
Then, he hung up the video communication, switched to voice, and sent it to Emperor Chongzhen.
"First, Zuo Maodi. According to the records in the current information, his life has been beautified. It is said that he, Wu Weiye and Zhang Pu were of the same mind. They all left their names in history with their integrity and became the famous three gentlemen of Laiyang in the late Ming Dynasty.
But at least that Zhang Pu was not a good person. He used Fushe to manipulate the scholar examination in the imperial examination, and was known as the civil emperor, which seriously corrupted the imperial examination system."
"It seems that Zhang Pu is dead now. He was replaced by Wu Chang. You can take note of it and investigate the situation. Let's talk about Zuo Maodi again. After he became a local magistrate, what he did seemed to be beautified.
, but it is indeed doing something. There is something to say here.”
"Generally, those who wrote history in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties wanted to beautify it, and they wrote it based on their cognition. As for the things recorded, if I look at them from the perspective of my era, some of them can actually be seen at a glance.
But some things are in line with the values of my era, that is to say, the things he does will ultimately benefit the vast majority of the people!"
"What Zuo Maodi did probably complied with this criterion. In the end, he did not succumb to the coercion and inducement of Jianlu and died for his country. Therefore, let me mention it to you. I think this person is most likely suitable for you to use. As for whether you should use it or not.
