Chapter 42 Chapter Five

Just when Chongzhen was so emotional and sleepless every night, Yang Sichang acted quickly. He wants to seize the moment. No matter what you do in this world, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. The Sacred Heart is worrying a lot.Right now is just a soft time for Chongzhen, he will come back to his senses sooner or later.There is indeed not much time left for Yang Sichang. According to Chongzhen's wishes, Yang Sichang ordered Liaodong governor Fang Yizao to act.Fang Yizao hired Zhou Yuanzhong, an eloquent fortune-teller, to go to the Qing Dynasty to find out the facts.

The most important thing is to touch Huang Taiji's bottom to see if he has any intention of reconciliation. But Huang Taiji's bottom is not so easy to touch. When Zhou Yuanzhong stretched out his dirty hand from Liaodong ambiguously, Huang Taiji was like a young woman from a good family who had been sexually harassed, and was at a loss for a while. Want to make peace?This is not Chongzhen's style!Besides, this peace negotiation is a good marriage for a hundred years. It means that the Ming media is marrying an upright person. Now that Zhou Yuanzhong came over in such an ambiguous manner, he would whisper to each other.

Huang Taiji quit.What he wants to see is Daming's envoy, not a fortune teller. Zhou Yuanzhong was stripped of his clothes. Huang Taiji was about to chop him off. But two officials under him stopped Huang Taiji's violence.These two officials abandoned Ming and surrendered.In the Ming Dynasty, their official ranks were not small, and they belonged to the kind of people who could talk to Chongzhen.They are well aware of Chongzhen's character: want face, super want face. Maybe he really thought about sending envoys over, but what if Huang Taiji's temper came up?It would not be fun to strip the envoys of Ming Dynasty naked like they did with Zhou Yuanzhong now.Then Chongzhen lost face.But the fortune-teller is different, he belongs to the status of the opposition, he belongs to the low class, even if it is broken, the people on earth will not know that Huang Taiji insulted Chongzhen.Chongzhen still looked dignified, as if nothing had happened.This - is the hidden psychology of a great country emperor.

Huang Taiji smiled.He felt that the people of the Ming Dynasty were very strange, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was even more strange.It's not fun at all to be a bitch and erect a memorial archway.However, if they really want to make peace, it might not be a bad thing. After fighting for so many years, although the Qing Dynasty has been in an offensive posture, to be honest, it has not gained any benefits.Daming is indeed too big, before it is completely conquered, it is difficult to reap any benefits. But peace talks are different, especially when the other side offers to make peace.This is a bit like the daughter of a rich family getting married. Without a valuable dowry, Huang Taiji would not marry.

Huang Taiji believes that any contemporary history is history.In history, the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu made peace. Although the Western Han Dynasty was a big country, they still had to send a lot of property there every year, and even sent their own princess there.This is the benefit of a powerful small country making peace with a big country. Huang Taiji needs this benefit, desperately.He told the fortune teller Zhou Yuanzhong that a person must live with dignity, and that it is wrong to take off his clothes and lie here.Put on your clothes and go back and forth from where.After you go back, tell your supreme commander that the Qing Dynasty agreed to make peace with the Ming Dynasty. Once the conditions are negotiated and the contract is signed, we will definitely not trouble your country again.

However, when Yang Sichang reported to Chongzhen that Huang Taiji had peace of mind, Chongzhen began to be vague. Is Yanhe really okay?Throughout the dynasties, there was only peace fought, not negotiated. Even if the negotiated peace exists, it is a humiliating peace. Chongzhen does not want to humiliate peace. Chongzhen started to yell at Yang Sichang, asking him to think again. This is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter related to the life and death of Daming for quite a long time in the future, don't be careless, think about it again, play by ear... The more Chongzhen joked, the more anxious Yang Sichang became.If the emperor doesn't give a clear order, who will be responsible for any problems in the future?play by ear?Seeing what kind of machine does what, there is a lot of attention here!If Yang Sichang made the decision without authorization, the emperor would blame him for not talking about it for now, the officials would scramble to impeach him.At that time, Yang Sichang might not escape his death!

Yang Sichang then asked for an order, but Chongzhen could not make up his mind to give the order, and the peace could not proceed. But in the world, the emperor is often not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.Chongzhen lived one day at a time, and could afford it, but Huang Taiji quit, his grandma, he's playing tricks on me, think I'm a monkey!Tangtang Ming, why are you doing things so wretched? First, I sent an obscure fortune teller over to find out. I didn’t care about you to show my sincerity in negotiating peace, but you retreated without a single fart.As a human being, you can't be so wretched!

Huang Taiji was furious. Generally speaking, when Huang Taiji was angry, he wanted to mobilize troops, but this time he didn't provoke him, but instead stationed troops in Daqingshan. That posture was that if you don't make peace with his grandma, I will attack.The situation has become so critical, Fang Yizao quickly reported to the imperial court, suggesting that peace is the most important thing for the imperial court, otherwise Liaodong will not be safe. Yang Sichang once again asked for an order, asking the emperor to start peace negotiations immediately to avoid the critical situation where the north and the south went to war at the same time, but Chongzhen still couldn't make up his mind to make peace with Huang Taiji.

A crash can happen at any time. At such a moment, the officials stood up. Spokespersons always stand up at critical moments in history and express their views on the current situation. This is a historical value of the existence of officials. Yang Sichang had to defend himself.Yang Sichang said that whether it is a fight or not, we should not only look at the external posture, but also look at the result.Fighting will definitely bring the flames of war into our Liaodong, so that even if we win, the land will become coke, and if there is peace, at least the people of Ming Dynasty will not suffer, and they will be grateful for the emperor's kindness.Besides, if we fight now, do we have a chance of winning?More than half of the country's troops are distributed in the Central Plains, Shaanxi, and Huguang to participate in the suppression of bandits. Although the suppression of bandits has achieved great results, there is still a long way to go before they are completely wiped out. We must concentrate our forces and continue to pursue them. At this critical moment, the main force will be transferred to Liaodong to fight against Huang Taiji, otherwise the bandit suppression will be in vain, and the ten-year unresolved situation will never end.

I'm particularly disgusted that some people don't feel pain in their backs when they stand and talk.Do you think this is for the sake of the country?wrong!You are making trouble for my Daming!In the autumn of the year before last (the ninth year of Chongzhen), the Qing soldiers came to the city. Have you shared your worries for the country?No!Only the emperor works day and night.Now that the peace talks have not yet started, some people are pointing fingers, fearing that the sky will collapse.If we do something, the outsiders are suspicious, and the insiders are also suspicious, then do we still have any hope of success?

Yang Sichang's words were passionate and reasonable. After hearing this, Chongzhen felt that Yang Sichang was really sophisticated and seeking the country.Yes, although the peace agreement is not good-looking, but according to Yang Sichang, at least the people of our Ming Dynasty will not suffer, and they will be grateful for the emperor's good life.This is public opinion. And public opinion, for an emperor, is the best compliment.Chongzhen needed this praise very much.He ordered that Yang Sichang's cabinet should be announced immediately to discuss side affairs. The time seemed ripe again.Yang Sichang vaguely felt that the emperor's soft time had come again.This time, he was going to hold on tight.tightly. Huang Daozhou was the most famous Confucianist, social activist, and Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi in the Chongzhen era.Of course, what everyone recognizes the most is his status as a Confucian. In any era, Confucianism can always hold the right to speak in society. Huang Daozhou also had the right to speak in the Chongzhen era. Of course, as a famous Confucian, he generally does not speak easily.Because of ordinary trivial matters, the middle Confucianism and the small Confucianism will speak.Great Confucianism only speaks about major issues. This time, Zodiac Zhou will speak. Because something big happened.Yang Sichang strongly advocated the peace between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and the dignity of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years will be wiped out.But the emperor was confused and urgently called Yang Sichang to join the cabinet. If this matter goes down one step, it will be lost forever. Zodiac Zhou is in a hurry.This is the urgency of a great Confucian in a big country.He went to three courses in a row.The first two are foreshadowing, they are opposing Fang Yizao's peace negotiation and opposing Chen Xinjia's reincarnation as Governor Xuanda, laying the foundation for opposing Yang Sichang's peace negotiation.The third memorial is the key point.Huang Daozhou resolutely opposed Yang Sichang's seduction and joining the cabinet.Huang Daozhou is a great Confucian, so the writing of that article seems more passionate and reasonable than what Yang Sichang said.Huang Daozhou believed that there is no son without a father, and no son who is not a minister.As long as any person can be called a human being, filial piety is the first priority.Now Yang Sichang considers himself a talented person, and it is very inappropriate to use the lack of talents in the country as an excuse not to stay at home for three years and come out to do things. This will mess up the ethics of Ming Dynasty.No matter how scarce talents were in the Ming Dynasty, they could not use unfaithful and unfilial people.This is common sense.Besides, is he Yang Sichang a talent?A Minister of the Ministry of War does not want to strategize and make contributions, but concentrates on encouraging the emperor to negotiate peace and surrender. Is there such a minister of the Ministry of War who has such a pillar of the country throughout the ages? Chongzhen read Huang Daozhou's Honglun, and he was so angry.Good guy, he didn't just scold Yang Sichang, he even scolded me, Zhu.Unfaithful and unfilial people cannot be used, who is using them, isn't it my Chongzhen?To oppose Chen Xinjia's seizure of love and recovery, and opposition to Yang Sichang's seizure of Lover's Pavilion, in the final analysis, is to oppose my Chongzhen chaos and not rule the country with loyalty and filial piety!Am I that kind of person?joke!It is really that the country has no talents, so I have no choice but to recover.You are an old comrade of Zodiac Zhou, can't you be considerate? There is a saying that is true - since ancient times, celebrities have been crazy.This zodiac week is as crazy as it gets!Hmph, let me see how long you can go crazy? !meeting!meeting!Talk about anything.I, Chongzhen, don't play tricks on you, Huang Daozhou, and I don't wear small shoes for you. You are a great Confucian, and I respect you.However, I want to clarify things clearly with you.Who is wrong and who is right, everyone has the final say. On the fifth day of July, the imperial meeting was held on the platform.The meeting was very grand, and there were quite a lot of people who came. Senior officials from the five government departments and six ministries of the cabinet, patriots from various relevant parties, and officials above the fourth rank in Beijing all came.Before the meeting, everyone only knew that Huang Daozhou had written a report this time, which made the emperor very angry, and it seemed that the consequences were serious.Everyone wanted to know the specific content of the report, but no one knew. After a while of whispering, they still got nothing, and the expressions of the officials were a little resentful. To say that officials are all curious or gloating is not necessarily the case.Zodiac Zhou's official rank is not high, but his reputation in the court is still very high.Great Confucianism, he is getting old again, and everyone yells "Huang Lao Huang Lao" and respects him a lot.It should be said that such a person accidentally turned against the dragon scale, not many people would gloat over his misfortune.The main reason why officials want to know the specific content of the report as soon as possible is to respond to the emperor's sudden question.The emperor called so many people to the meeting today, so he must express their opinions one by one.Without knowing the specific content of the report, it is difficult to express this state of affairs.Maybe the emperor will explain the content of the report in a few words at the meeting, but it is better to know in advance - the experience of countless meetings told these Ming officials that everything can be done if it is forewarned, and it will be abandoned if it is not forewarned. In fact, Huang Daozhou came early, sitting alone in a corner with his eyes closed, but his neck was erect and his chin was raised high, making him stand out from the crowd.It looks quite tragic.All the officials felt tense: Today's meeting, it's not easy to make people's heads fall... Two officials sat next to him intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get close to him and find out the specific content of the report by the way, but Huang Daozhou Still don't even open your eyes, let alone speak.The two officials had no choice but to leave angrily. Yang Sichang was the last to come to the meeting.In fact, he didn't want to come, because he was impeached, especially by the Great Confucianism. Yang Sichang felt that he should avoid suspicion and let the big guys decide whether he was guilty or not.But Chongzhen asked the eunuch to invite him, saying that if Yang Sichang didn't come, he didn't want to hold this bird meeting.These words warmed Yang Sichang's heart.After thinking about it again and again, he still came to the meeting with the good intention of being loyal to the emperor. The conference did not go straight to the point.First of all, the ministries of officials, households, soldiers, and criminals made work reports for the first half of the year.This is a cliché. Every six months, the imperial court will have a meeting to review the past and look forward to the future.Today is the fifth day of July, just in time for this point, Chongzhen arranged this content before the meeting.However, this kind of work report makes people's faces clang, and people who listen to it feel drowsy. There is no way, work reports are not erotic novels, they can stimulate people's imagination and creativity.Chongzhen also knew that this would be a mere formality, but having said that, it is better to open than not to open. Anyway, everyone knows that the state machinery of Ming Dynasty is still operating normally, and people in various ministries are still doing things. .If not, Chongzhen is really worried about what these people are doing down there.This is not possible. The lengthy work report lasted for two full hours.Many people have already heard the yawning, and some people take the opportunity of going to the bathroom to smoke outside or hold small meetings in small groups.Chongzhen asked the eunuch on duty to strictly enforce the discipline of the venue, and separately went to find those who stayed outside with excuses to come back. If there were those who insisted on staying, they would be recorded in the annual assessment performance book.Under the threat of the eunuchs pretending to be powerful, the lineup of the venue was indeed much stronger, and it seemed that it was full of people. The reports from various ministries were finally over, Chongzhen cleared his throat, and the buzzing venue suddenly became completely silent.Officials understood that the real meeting had begun.Next, every word the emperor said will be related to one person, if it is not done well, it will not only be related to one person, but also related to everyone present. Because all the officials of Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor often likes to make excuses. The emperor likes to see a person in distress, if there is someone else taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, the emperor will make that person embarrassed as well. This is a secret hobby of the emperor. But not all.Sometimes, when the emperor punishes someone, he hopes that someone next to him will take pleasure in other people's misfortune, so as to further enhance the sense of shame of the punished person.If the person next to him doesn't follow up in time at this time and has an attitude of having nothing to do with himself, then he may be the next unlucky guy. So in a nutshell, in a word, the emperor likes to make excuses, but how to use it, and who will be slashed with the knife in the end, it all depends on the good fortune of the people standing beside him. After Chongzhen cleared his throat, he stood up and walked to the secret room next to him.It was Chongzhen's royal bathroom, and Chongzhen had been inconvenient for two full hours, and his kidney function was quite good, so if he was inconvenient again at this time, he would really be a god.But Chongzhen had a mortal body after all, and he didn't want to hold back, he just wanted to make it easy and unload the burden for the next long speech.However, the sound insulation effect of Chongzhen's royal bathroom is not very good. There is a faint sound of dragon urine hitting the wooden barrel. All the officials here couldn't help worrying about Zodiac Week.They all looked at Huang Daozhou, who was still sitting motionless like a sculpture.Some officials suddenly murmured: Mr. Huang hasn't urinated for two hours, how can he be so patient?Another official sighed: From ancient times to the present, which great Confucianism has not endured? Chongzhen came out with a relaxed face, and he sat back on the dragon chair, feeling just one word - cool! This is the "cool" brought about by convenience. This is the "coolness" brought by the silence of hundreds of officials. All the officials lowered their heads, but one person's head was still held high, and it had been held up for two hours. This person is Zodiac Zhou. Chongzhen glanced at him, but Huang Daozhou didn't even look at him. A great Confucianism is a great Confucianism, and it has surpassed the imperial power in terms of spiritual temperament.This made Chongzhen start to feel upset-his grandma, how long have I been feeling happy, your zodiac week makes me feel unhappy.hateful!hateful! Chongzhen began to call names: Zodiac Zhou. Huang Daozhou stood up: the minister is here. Chongzhen: The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, both inside and outside the temple, say you are a great Confucian. I really envy you.As for me, although I am a gentleman, I have not read as many books as you, so I still need to ask you for advice on some things.For example, the law of nature and the desire of man, I always can't figure it out.Huang Daru, tell me, what is the law of heaven and what is human desire? The head of the zodiac is still high: doing nothing is called the law of heaven; doing something is called human desire.The laws of nature and human desires are incompatible with each other, and any more human desires will damage the natural principles. Chongzhen applauded: Well said!Worthy of being a master of Confucianism.Well said... But I don't understand. Since you have made the principles of heaven and human desires so clear, why do you still do things that harm the principles of nature?The three memorials you submitted were not too early or too late, just when you were not elected to the cabinet and Yang Sichang was in the cabinet.In these memorabilia, you said something wrong with Yang Sichang!Huang Daru, isn't this an act of doing nothing? Huang Daozhou never expected that Chongzhen would link his memorials with the fact that he was not selected for the cabinet.In fact, the election of cabinet members happens every year. Although Huang Daozhou is a great Confucian, he is not a member of the cabinet. People with good deeds often include him in the supplementary list and submit it to the emperor. But every time Chongzhen is in the list, he will not move. "Pass" the zodiac week sensually.Maybe Chongzhen felt that Huang Daozhou was only good at talking and could not be used; maybe he just thought that he had a strange personality and lacked team spirit.Anyway, Chongzhen Passers don't need a reason. Over time, Huang Daozhou also understands this, and he is much less interested in becoming a cabinet member. Humans are all mortal.And fate and luck go hand in hand. When a person's fate depends on luck, he has to suffer both good luck and bad luck.Zodiac Zhou has suffered N times of bad luck, and he did not act for N times, so why did he take action for N+1 times?And this action is so dirty and despicable in the eyes of Zodiac Zhou? !Huang Daozhou didn't understand why the emperor had such an association. But Chongzhen felt that it was too normal for his grandma to take action at N+1 times. This is a sudden explosion when human desires naturally develop to a critical point. of.Zodiac Zhou keeps suppressing himself with the principles of heaven, which can only make him appear crazier when he explodes.And now, the crazy time of the zodiac week has arrived.Regarding this point, Chongzhen was confident that he could see it very clearly. Huang Daozhou defended himself. He said that the difference between the principles of heaven and human desires lies in the distinction between righteousness and benefit. Those who do not benefit others and only benefit themselves are human desires. Well, he went to Sanshu in order to consolidate and correct the country's principles of ethics and ethics. It is completely natural, and he has absolutely no selfish distractions. Chongzhen laughed, very coldly: No selfish thoughts at all?Then why don't you go to the library in the morning instead of going to the library after the list of cabinet members is announced? Huang Daozhou: Originally, I wanted to go up earlier, but in May my fellow censor Lin Lanyou and Kechen He Kai went up to oppose Yang Sichang’s peace talks. I was afraid that if I go up at that time, there will be suspicion of collusion, so I didn’t go up in time, but dragged until now. Chongzhen: Is that so?It seems that there are still selfish distractions, so avoid suspicion.But if you go up now, are you free from suspicion?If you don't go up, you're done. If you go up, you'll be three times. It's a way to kill people!You are a great Confucian, writing so many words, don't you feel tired? Huang Daozhou: In order to consolidate and correct the country's principles and ethics, I am not afraid of being tired. Seeing that Huang Daozhou dared to talk back, Chongzhen became angry: I think you are not afraid of being tired!It's not enough for you to cut three, you can't wait to use a soft knife to cut me too!You are so rebellious and immoral, you, you still keep saying that Confucian ethics, I ask you, you said that I used Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia out of love, you just said that I messed with Confucian ethics, then, I am not worthy to be the father of Ming Dynasty?You zodiac week always abide by the principles of heaven, you are the son of heaven and the emperor of Ming Dynasty!Come, come, come here, this dragon seat, you do it! When Chongzhen said this, he came down and pulled Huang Daozhou up.Huang Daozhou still has this self-knowledge, and he refuses to go up.But Chongzhen was in his thirties, and he was angry again, so he pulled Huang Daozhou to the front of the dragon seat with three pulls and two pulls. Chongzhen pressed Huang Daozhou down hard, trying to make him sit down.Huang Daozhou was desperately refusing to sit down, his hands were firmly pressed against the armrest of the dragon seat, his face was flushed so red.Where have the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty seen such scenes before, all of them fell to their knees: Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty! Seeing everyone's reaction, Chongzhen took advantage of the situation and asked: Then tell me, did I do something wrong?Or is Zodiac Zhou doing it wrong? Yes...it was Zodiac Zhou who made a mistake. The voice was chattering, and it seemed very unassuming.Chongzhen was very dissatisfied: what?Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly. All the officials had to shout in unison: Huang Daozhou did something wrong! I am right! No one expected Huang Daozhou to make such a noise at this time. The sound was very loud, like a thunderbolt from the blue, which stunned all the officials. Chongzhen was also stunned. Chongzhen suddenly became angry from his heart, and the evil turned to the gallbladder.If the act just now had elements of mischief, then from now on, Chongzhen will kill Huang Daozhou. Confucianism was originally to assist the imperial power, but now Huang Daozhou blatantly confronts him, that is to challenge the imperial power. No religion can challenge imperial power. Nor does Confucianism. So Zodiac Zhou must die! Chongzhen pushed Huang Daozhou down even harder, hoping his butt could touch the dragon chair. As long as Huang Daozhou dared to sit on the dragon chair, he would surely die.Because from ancient times to the present, except for the emperor, only second ministers or treasoners would sit in this position.The purpose of Chongzhen is to make Huang Daozhou such a person.Even if it is forced, as long as you sit down, you are a second minister.At that time, Zodiac Zhou will be unable to argue, because no one knows whether he has the laws of heaven or human desires in his heart! This is the logic of Chongzhen, the logic of an emperor. Huang Daozhou finally sat down and couldn't get up for a while.Because Chongzhen's strength was too great, his hands pressed tightly on Huang Daozhou's shoulders, making him unable to move. Huang Daozhou sat very firmly. This stubborn Confucian sat firmly in order to maintain his dignity, but in the eyes of the civil and military courts, Huang Daozhou seemed to be sitting very peacefully, with a faint sense of grandeur. speechless. A group of people were speechless. A dynasty is speechless. Chongzhen felt something was wrong, why was it so quiet?It was so quiet that he could even hear each other's breathing. He had thought that these alert officials would rush up and beat Huang Daozhou to pieces. But no, this group of people didn't react at all.Chongzhen was so embarrassed, so embarrassed by Kui.He felt like an actor who suddenly played freely. He inadvertently turned the play to High. He was looking forward to the applause of the audience and the tacit interaction between the stage and the audience, but everything was on the sidelines and no one gave him affirmation. Wink.He, Chongzhen, could only pretend to be in high spirits and continue to perform the trick. what else can we do?Sometimes in life there is no applause. And the so-called meaning of life is to continue playing tricks when no one is applauding.If you don't continue the performance, the play will definitely fail. If you continue to perform, maybe you can wait until the moment of applause. Life is like this, to perform desperately for an applause that may never be waited for, maybe the applause still does not sound when the end of life, but what can be done?Life is like that sometimes.This is the tragedy of life, but also the glory of life. Chongzhen walked down the stage slowly, leaving Huang Daozhou there alone, on the dragon chair that was extremely cold, clasped his fists in both hands, and said loudly: "Huang Daru did nothing wrong, that's what Chongzhen did. Please accept my worship... After Chongzhen finished speaking, he actually wanted to kneel down. At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty rushed up and hugged Chongzhen like a frying pan, preventing the emperor from continuing to make absurd actions.Others accused Zodiac Zhou of being rebellious in that position and told him to get out of here immediately.They no longer called Huang Daozhou "Huang Lao" but "Yellow Thief" to show their position. But Huang Daozhou still sat firmly in that position, with his eyes closed tightly, without saying a word. This move was beyond everyone's expectations—is this "yellow thief" crazy or really wants to be a "national thief", how can he not get down on it?Your majesty is doing a fake show, so could it be that you, Huang Daozhou, want to do a real show? The most embarrassing thing is of course Chongzhen.He pretended to vacate his seat, but the person who was sitting in his seat didn't know how to stand up and return Chongzhen's seat.Chongzhen standing in the lobby became an emperor without a seat.And all the officials have their own seats.They're in their place.Chongzhen experienced the panic of losing his seat for the first time. Zodiac Zhou was in tears.Two lines of old, turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: Daming's heavenly principles are in chaos, and Daming's human desires are rampant in my emperor's heart.I cry for Daming, I feel sad for Daming... presumptuous!You zodiac week, if you want to run rampant, you still beat him up.Don't you really want to live? Chongzhen's voice was sharp.But he found that the louder he spoke, the more emptiness he felt in his heart: Do I really have human desires running rampant in my heart?I have worked hard for Daming all the time! Huang Daozhou: Human desires run rampant in my emperor's heart, and there is absolutely no reason for me, Huang Daozhou, to live.This dragon seat is an altar, so who sent me to the altar?It's you, Your Majesty.In fact, the emperor's move is unnecessary. The reason why the emperor did this is nothing more than to let me, Huang Daozhou, die on the charge of treason and injustice.I, Huang Daozhou, don't regret my death, it just tarnishes the emperor's reputation of hard work and hard work! Chongzhen became angry from embarrassment: After thousands of years, who still remembers the scene at this moment? Huang Daozhou smiled: If the emperor thinks so, then I have nothing to say. Chongzhen: I killed you, after thousands of years, history will not remember this sum. Zodiac Zhou: There may be no official history, but unofficial history is hard to tell. Yeah? of course. Someone came, tied up Huang Daozhou, pushed him out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded him. As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, all the officials buzzed together, roughly meaning that Huang Daozhou was a great Confucian at any rate, and he couldn't kill him easily, otherwise public opinion would be difficult to calm down.Besides, Huang Daozhou was forced to sit on the dragon chair by you, the emperor. He would die if he sat or not.If you sit down, you will die if you rebel against the law; if you don't sit down, you will die if you resist the decree.This kind of death is really an unjust death.Your Majesty, what Huang Daozhou said is correct, after thousands of years, the world will criticize the Emperor, and the Emperor's reputation of hard work and hard work will be ruined... Chongzhen was puzzled.Why is this Baiguan his grandma's like a grass on the wall? Just now, he was biting a "yellow thief". I got the answer: They are afraid that I will copy this method of death from now on—the method of unjust death.See who is not pleasing to the eye, pull it over and press it on the dragon seat, then this person will undoubtedly die-after all, they are still thinking about themselves. Human desires, human desires, everyone in Daming has desires in their hearts. Chongzhen felt a burst of sadness: I never imagined that I would be able to kill a Confucian scholar. The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.The land of Daming may not belong to the Zhu family soon. Chongzhen lost interest all of a sudden.He waved his hand weakly, indicating that the meeting was adjourned. All the officials dispersed quietly, leaving only Huang Daozhou and Chongzhen in the whole hall.Huang Daozhou walked down from the dragon seat with a look of "crying for Daming and mourning for Daming", and knelt in front of Chongzhen: Your Majesty, Daming urgently needs to rule people's hearts with the laws of heaven... Chongzhen walked quickly back to the Dragon Throne and sat down as if he didn't hear his words.He suddenly found a sense of security, a sense of security that can only be had when sitting on the Dragon Throne.He swore viciously to himself in his heart that such jokes would never be played again in the future. The dragon seat is heavy.The dragon seat is the country and the country.Who would make fun of Jiangshan Sheji?Huang Daozhou still knelt in the hall without raising his head, wondering what he was thinking.Chongzhen stared at the person who had briefly sat in his seat, feeling that he could not stay in the capital no matter what.Chongzhen can not kill him for the sake of his reputation for generations to come, but he must not be allowed to stay in the capital and become a topical figure.Perhaps Zodiac Zhou, who has always been high and noble, will not mention the feeling of sitting on the Dragon Throne to others, but in the future, someone will definitely ask him to explore all this curiously, and thus peep into the hidden psychology of an emperor. This is absolutely not allowed by Chongzhen.Never. Soon, Huang Daozhou was demoted six ranks to the outside world. At the same time, He Kai and other officials who criticized Yang Sichang were demoted one by one.For a time, no one in the imperial court dared to say "no" to Yang Sichang's peace talks. But Yang Sichang complained endlessly in his heart.He chased after the emperor and wanted the word "Zhun", which he negotiated with, but Chongzhen never gave it. Chongzhen didn't talk about peace or war, and he looked ambiguous.That means you, Yang Sichang, make up your own mind, don't keep following me. But does Yang Sichang dare to make up his mind?The emperor's heart is uncertain, and he has no idea yet.In this situation, who dares to make up his mind for him? But to say that the emperor had no idea, his punishment of Huang Daozhou was obviously to give a blow to those who opposed the peace negotiation.According to this inference, the emperor should agree to the peace negotiation, but why didn't he express his attitude... Yang Sichang suddenly understood: after all, the emperor is still afraid of being charged with the peace negotiation.In case Huang Taiji sets out too outrageous conditions, and Daming can only humiliately agree, then there will be no place to put the emperor's face at that time.The emperor wanted Yang Sichang to negotiate a peace quietly, but he did not want it by imperial decree.It's done, everything is easy to say, if the matter fails, Yang Sichang can only be forced to go to the altar and become a victim of the peace negotiation. Everything is already faint.Yang Sichang retracted his head, which was about to move, because he didn't want to be a ghost under the knife on the altar.The peace negotiation became a past event that no one mentioned anymore, and Huang Taiji, who stationed troops in Daqingshan, was completely forgotten.Daming ushered in a brief period of peace.
