"I will meet the emperor." Wang Chengen bowed a lot. He thought to be disgusting Song Xiance and Li Yan. Let's see if you kneel down or not, how do you salute.

"Dashun Song made a suggestion, Dashun Li Yan, please see Your Majesty!" The two of them bowed down together, without any ambiguity, but they were marked by Dashun's sign in front, obviously not admitting that they were a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

When Chongzhen saw that the two of them had really knelt down, he hurriedly stepped forward to help each other: "Two distinguished guests, please get up quickly. Don't give up this great gift in the future. You can't afford it, you can't afford it! I am the king of the country who destroyed this body. I am afraid that the Qing soldiers will take the opportunity to occupy the country of China. The King of Breakings is very kind and treats me well. I am already in fear. When you see me in the future, you will be polite. Only then can I dare to accept it calmly."

"Your Majesty, you are polite." Song Xiance was not the kind of pedantic master. He had seen many heroes, so Xu Li's style naturally became three points weak.

Song Xiance continued: "The three princes have been found, and they are all at Zhou Guomao's house. They will be connected to the palace tomorrow and reunited with Your Majesty. In addition, Princess Kunxing was injured in the left arm and was recovering from the palace. It was inconvenient to walk around. When the injury improves, let the princess come to see Your Majesty."

Gong Daming was not worried about the three underage princes. In history, the crown prince was named King of Song after being captured by Li Zicheng. It can be seen that Li Zicheng did yearn for benevolence and righteousness, regardless of whether he was sincere or false. However, when the crown prince fell into the hands of the Qing soldiers, he was detained as accused of "pretending to be the crown prince" and beheaded for public display.

Regarding Princess Kunxing, Gong Daming knew that Chongzhen had slashed the princess with a sword before hanging on the coal mountain. The princess subconsciously turned her head and slashed on her left arm with a sword. Although she was rescued later, her body was weak since then. It must have been depressed in the chest, and she died of depression two years later. After the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, Princess Kunxing was changed to Princess Changping, and Princess Kunxing's name was unknown. In the book of Jin Daxia, Princess Changping became a female hero with unfathomable martial arts, but she could not avenge the national hatred and family hatred. Gong Daming felt very pity for this Princess Changping. When he thought of Chongzhen's words, "Why are you born in the imperial family!", he couldn't help but feel ache in his heart, and forced himself to hold it back and asked:

"I don't know how serious the princess is? I really want to see her."

Song Xiance knew that it was Chongzhen's sword that hurt the princess. The flesh and blood were so affectionate, but although he was helpless, he finally swung his sword to take his life. The pain in his heart was beyond words. Therefore, he comforted:

"Your Majesty, don't worry! The princess's injury is not serious. The princess is very knowledgeable about the medical treatment and observes the princess' injury. In less than a month, it should be healed. The princess estimates that in seven days, the princess will be able to go downstairs, and then His Majesty will see the princess."

"Please also ask to take care of the princess carefully." Chongzhen knew that he was not a free person, so he had a silence to go and see him.

Song Xiance replied: "Of course. Please rest assured by Your Majesty!"

When Li Yan saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, things could not be delayed. So he turned around and said, "Your Majesty analyzed the general trend of the world yesterday and was inciting the situation. We admire him very much. The Xiaguan and the Military Commander of Song came today to discuss abdication with Your Majesty. In addition, we would like to ask how to recruit Wu Sangui." Li Yan followed Li Zicheng for several years and had reduced his pedantic spirit, straight to the point.

Chongzhen was very clear-headed, and at this time he could not even have a trace of loving the great throne. He immediately replied: "You arrange the matter of abdication, choose an auspicious day, and I will do whatever I want. If you want to make up for the abdication edict, you can also help me draft the edict. Then I will see, it is nothing more than to make up for the omissions. The overall tone of the edict: I suggest that since I ascended the throne, natural disasters have arisen, and the people have been resentful, and the Tartars have risen in the northeast and plundered the capital several times. I think I have lost my virtues, so I was abandoned by God and cannot save the people in the world. The king of the kings rose from the rivers and lakes, saved the people from water and fire, and had the ambition to attack the Qing emperors in the north and pacify the Liao in one fell swoop.

At this time, I still have a clear understanding of the fact that the destiny of heaven has changed. I have the corpse to eat a place without compromising natural disasters, unable to save the people, and unable to resist foreign aggression. I should have abdicated and given up the wise. Li Zicheng knew that the soldiers and the people were loved by the people, and the world was in a state of mind. I wanted to follow the examples of the three generations of saints and choose the wise rulers for the world. Looking at the present day, when the mountains and rivers are broken and the people's livelihood is withered, it is not Li Zicheng that can resist the Qing Dynasty and pacify the Liao Dynasty, and Li Zicheng cannot take on this important task of saving the world and helping the people. Therefore, I am the plan of the people of the world, and I have the opportunity to follow the plan of the honor of the three generations of saints and abdicate Li Zicheng. I am honored to abdicate the rituals of the throne!"

After Chongzhen finished speaking this paragraph, he smiled and said, "You can sort out what I mean and polish it. As for you to write better, just use it. I have no objection."

When Song Xiance saw that Chongzhen had said this, what else could he say, and quickly said, "Your Majesty is humble and sincere. Your Majesty's love for the people can be admired by all ages. We respect you. Then follow what Your Majesty said and handle it according to this."

When Wang Chengen saw it, he had to come forward and say a few words. Chongzhen was not easy to make the conditions, so it would be too inappropriate if he didn't help him. Who knows if Li Zicheng could not wait to arrange abdication tomorrow! If this is the case, before we find a way out, our value would drop to the end. No, no! So he said: "I am bold and think that the abdication matter should not be too hasty. We should choose a good day, build a high altar, and prepare a ceremonial guard, so that the abdication ceremony can be solemn and grand, and can be passed down through the ages."

Li Yan said: "Of course, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry! Although Dashun originated from the grassroots, our lord also valued etiquette. We will definitely carry out this abdication ceremony with extraordinary momentum and make it a beautiful story for future generations."

Song Xiance said: "The officials know a little about the numbers and the etiquette and laws. The officials estimate that there will be two auspicious days in early April. From today on, there will be ten days to prepare for the ceremony. Although the time is a little tighter, they should be ready to stop. The officials think that they will not delay the auspicious period of the ceremony. What does your Majesty think?"

After hearing this, Chongzhen said that the abdication ceremony was scheduled for more than ten days, including infrastructure projects, etiquette training, large-scale rehearsals, and more than ten days. Do you think it is Shenzhen speed! Oh my god, you really can't wait! Do I dare to say it? But no matter how much I push it, it won't be delayed. It's already good if I didn't say it would be done within three days. Fortunately, there are more than ten days, which is more or less enough for myself and Wang Chengen to think of some other methods.

So he replied, "You can do whatever the matter of abdication is right. Don't consider me, I will never object." He paused and said,

"As for Wu Sangui's place, I will write the letter today, and you will come and pick it up tomorrow."

When Song Xiance saw Chongzhen so readily, he felt very satisfied and threw away his original worries and thanked him repeatedly.

Chongzhen suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that the King of Chuang has always recovered stolen money and helped the money. I wonder if it would be the case when I arrived in Beijing?" Chongzhen thought to himself, I mentioned "half of military general politics" yesterday, and I wonder if these people will be more mature in politics and will no longer be able to recover stolen money and help the money and the money and the money.

When Song Xiance heard Chongzhen mention this sensitive issue, he thought Chongzhen was worried that he would torture Wu Sangui's family, or that Chongzhen would plead for a royal relative or minister. After hearing this, Li Yan wanted to know what Chongzhen thought about recovering stolen money and helping money.

Song Xiance then said: "Your Majesty, it's OK. You will start to recover stolen money and provide money tomorrow. However, it will not affect Wu Sangui's family, nor will it affect Zhou Guohou."

Li Yan quickly added: "I have always loved the people. Now that the people in the world suffer, the people are living in poverty. Therefore, I am exempted from taxes from the world for three years. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all greedy for ink, and these corruption money were all robbed by tricks. Why is the treasury of Your Majesty empty? Why are the people living in trouble? It is because these corrupt officials have swallowed up the wealth of the world. Your Majesty should be aware of this. And I am only asking corrupt officials to spit out the wealth they have robbed out. Since I am not levied taxes on the people, pursuing these ill-gotten wealth is a natural move. Otherwise, I am Dashun want to resist the Qing Dynasty and Ping Liao, and there is no military salary, money and food, which is a fool! Your Majesty has been trapped in money and food for many years, and the officials have heard of it from time to time. The officials think that it is reasonable to recover the stolen money and food, and the other is to have to do it!"

When Chongzhen saw this situation, he thought that your recovery of stolen money would immediately make Beijing chaotic. A Ming minister usually enjoys a good meal and enjoys a lot of money, but he was taken to pick up sticks and boards to serve him. What other things are you talking about? "half military and half political"! The people who just won over will turn reactionary in the blink of an eye. Well, it is "reactionary", which is too appropriate. It is important to know that the public opinion power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of intellectuals, and

It was the thing that was tangled with the officialdom. The thing about recovering stolen money and helping pay was reported by the historical books. Although the corrupt officials of these decent ministers exposed their faces, they also destroyed the "world's heart" situation that Dashun finally established overnight. However, these Dashun locals released all the big talk of exempting the stolen money for three years, and they were not engaged in production. If they had no other way to get money and food, they would be uglier.

What does 70 million taels of silver mean? Let's put it this way, the highest annual tax amount during the Chongzhen period - including silver and various physical silver discounts, was only 23 million taels of silver. Good guy! The tax task in three years was completed in more than ten days, which was much better than the Taxation Bureau of the Taxation Bureau in later generations.

Chongzhen looked at Song and Li, and then Wang Chengen, hesitated in his heart whether to express some objections. If you say it, it is probably useless. If you don’t say it, the result is that a group of officials and gentry were completely disappointed with Li Zicheng. Well, it is not only disappointment, but also a complete hatred.

This hatred of Li Zicheng was partially vented after the Qing soldiers defeated Li Zicheng. The part that had not been vented was gathering into a surging tide. This trend was to use soldiers to suppress the thieves and support the thieves. The officials and gentry reached a consensus: as long as they oppose Li Zicheng, we will support it - the black cat and white cat, killing Li Zicheng is a good cat! We avenge not only the king's revenge, but also the old man's! We also avenge our hatred for taking money. So in history, after Li Zicheng fled out of Beijing in a hurry, when Dorgon led his troops into the capital, the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty met with each other and kowtowed like garlic. Most people were filled with anger: Li Zicheng, you have a good fortune! The Qing Dynasty boss is here, and you deserve to be unlucky! Look at how long you Li Zicheng can jump around! Look at it, the Qing Dynasty soldiers are in the same heart, see where you escape!

The people in Beijing became so fast that they shouted "Chongzhen was over, Li Zicheng rose!" A few days later, the same group of Li fans who once claimed to have loved Li Zicheng to death, hated Li Zicheng in turn and hated Li Zicheng as if he had a deep hatred. As the limelight changed, people began to think of Chongzhen's good things, but Chongzhen was better! But the descendants of the Zhu family were not good, and they could not beat Li Zicheng, and their fists were not as strong as others. What if they did it! Fortunately, the savior Dorgon came and drove Li Zicheng away in one fell swoop. Simply put, that's all. The Qing Dynasty became the savior of Beijing officials and gentry. The eyes of the masses were sharp. The Qing Dynasty saw that it was much more rules than Li Zicheng. Where could such a leader be found--it is more capable than Li Zicheng and more humble than Chongzhen. Who can we be loyal to if we don't be loyal to such a leader?

They didn't expect that the old men in the Qing Dynasty were very good at pretending to be b at the beginning. After the people were caught, they transformed themselves into a transformation. They would enclose land when they should run, and they would slaughter the city when they should slaughter the city. There were also "leaving their heads without hair, leaving their hair without hair", and "**" and other mind confinement..., pitiful! When everyone reacted, alas! It's too late to regret it!

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more he felt colder. This is how history cannot stand scrutiny. Some things will inevitably happen, but it is happening now, and it is difficult for him to stop it himself, and even Li Zicheng himself is difficult for him to stop it. It seems that history does not become colorful because of his time travel.

When Wang Chengen saw that the movement to recover stolen money and help the money was as unstoppable as history. The Dashun Army was also a human being, and people were fed by horses and spent a lot of money. He had conducted a small experiment in his previous life, which was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. If he started a war with the Qing Dynasty, he would have to spend tens of millions of taels of silver! Later, he fought against Japan for eight years, and with Li Zicheng's level, it would take eight years to win the Qing Dynasty. The war was about money and grain, and these local bullies did not collect taxes. Then there was no way to do it, and there was only the idea of ​​fighting a big family. Is this wrong? This is also an unprecedented anti-corruption campaign, revolution! Do you understand!

Later generations Mr. Jiang said: "Anti-corruption party will destroy the party, if you don't fight, you will destroy the country." It can be seen that anti-corruption still has to be opposed, but the anti-corruption standard is very important, very important! If you don't fight well, Li Zicheng's Dashun Party will be over. The anti-corruption standard can be mastered well. Yes, the focus is on the anti-corruption standard. Wang Chengen's mind turned several times, thinking that we can say what Mr. Chongzhen can't say. Understanding this point, Wang Chengen broke the embarrassment and said:

"Two masters, Dashun recovered stolen money and paid, was originally the business of your subordinate, and the emperor was inconvenient to comment, so I had no way to argue. However, I have a few words to say for your reference. It is also a little bit of insight. If you listen to it or not, you will listen to it."

"My father-in-law has been walking in front of His Majesty for many years and must have extraordinary experience. Please tell me!" Song Xiance was very polite and offered suggestions. Let's listen to others' suggestions for him.

"Okay. What you said is that it is imperative to recover stolen money and help pay, and I agree with this. The corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty were rampant and swallowed up huge amounts of money and ointments. Your Majesty once wanted to borrow money from officials and gentry and royal family to raise money, but it was not effective at all. I believe that the two of you must have heard of this. These people are not only greedy, but also wealth-keeping slaves. Your Majesty was once very sad about this. Facing such a group of people, not taking coercive measures is not enough to force them to pay the hidden silver. However, I think that these people must not be forced to go to the fore. We must pay attention to strategies and follow the principle of "reasonable, beneficial, and conservative" in order to solve the problem of pay and not to provoke confrontation."

After hearing this, Li Yan thought to himself that I wanted to do this too, but it was not that easy to do it in practice! Chongzhen was even more deeply moved. In order to raise money, he could not succeed in "borrowing money to help pay", so what else could he do!

Song Xiance asked: "What are the specific regulations of Eunuch Wang?"

"In fact, the articles of association are not complicated. You should follow the pursuing of dirt and pay. You should follow the articles of association you have signed. However, the money you have recovered may be divided into two parts: the first part is the 'stolen' part, which must be donated; the second part is the 'stolen' part, which is borrowed from the fund owner. For example, 100,000 taels of silver were recovered from a person, and 50,000 taels were recovered as stolen money of "the huge amount of property is unknown". To put it nicely

It can be said to be "donated"; the other 50,000 taels are used as an 8-year "Pingliamentary Bond", which is a loan from the fund owner. The loan period is 8 years, and the interest is half a percent annual interest, and it is returned in eight years. The 50,000 taels of "Pingliamentary Bond" were returned half a percent of the interest of that year at that time." Wang Chengen said this, glanced at Chongzhen, and Chongzhen nodded understandingly. Looking at Song and Li again, he seemed very confused. What is "huge assets of unknown origin" and what is "public bonds"? It's a little dizzy!

Gong Daming, a later teacher, immediately discovered that Du Yidian had a good idea, but he could think of it! Later generations said, "It is the uncle who borrowed money!" and described the relationship between the creditor and the debtor in a vivid way. For example, Americans borrowed so much money from China - hundreds of billions of dollars, but the United States is the uncle. China is always worried that the United States will be able to pay back the debt or not, and it is not important to keep it indifferent, and it always looks like a grandson in front of the United States.

Chongzhen almost laughed out loud and said, "Two, let's put it this way, the so-called 'public debt' was a method that the barbarians came up with a hundred years ago. The barbarians in the West, that is, the barbarians with blue eyes and high noses, are all small countries. More than a dozen small countries often fight in a mess. When the war starts, it takes several years or even decades. What should I do if I don't have enough money and food? I borrow from merchants. The money I borrow is called 'war public debt' or 'national debt'. Wang Chengen was in the palace and heard about these tricks of barbarians. Today, he used the barbarians to pursue stolen goods by your family.

I think it's great. Think about it, if you torture someone, you have to take out a huge amount of silver. How can you not resent? But if you donate half of it, the other half is considered to be a loan. The loan period is certainly longer, but the half of it will be paid back every year. For this kind of forced donation and borrowing, the main thing is to say that there is no resentment. However, this half of the money will tie the interests of the financial owners to your chariot in the next eight years. The financial owners must be worried and must not even think about you."

Li Yan finally figured out the trick and said, "This method is very wonderful! Only by recovering stolen money and helping pay can we partially resolve the hatred caused by tombing and prevent people from turning completely to opposing. They are forced and pulled, and they will be able to recover ill-gotten wealth in this way, even if they are strong, they will eventually leave a line. What does the Military Secretary Song think?"

Speaking of this, Song Xiance had no unclear reason and said in a series of continuous voices: "Okay! OK! OK! Great! I thank Your Majesty and Eunuch Wang for advice! The emperor will report to me now and suggest that this policy be implemented."

"This is to gather people's minds. Since we have stated that everything is necessary to resist the Qing army, we don't have to thank you! The 'Ping Liao government bond' must be used only to fight against Qing and Ping Liao, so I feel very pleased!"

Chongzhen was still not satisfied, so he simply did good deeds to the end, so he said, "There is another thing. I heard that the city is full of soldiers. I thought it was not appropriate to be stationed in the city, for fear of being lazy. In order to resist the Qing army, although I do not know the military and military discipline, I know that I should not be lazy. I hope to tell my suggestions." Chongzhen was worried that these local soldiers would enter the flower world and still do everything they could to plunder like in history, causing the rebel army to completely lose the hearts of the people.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiance replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, most of the soldiers have been moved outside the city to train today. The troops left in the city are only to maintain order and have strict orders not to disturb the people."

Yes! This is OK.
Chapter completed!
