Chapter 126 (8) The big man seeks profit, while the small man seeks fame

Wu Sangui gave up Ningyuan and went to aid the capital, how slow is his journey. If he wants to be held accountable, the board must first hit Chongzhen in the buttocks. Because Chongzhen's mind is too bad. In fact, Chongzhen died because of his wrong intentions. Chongzhen is a monster who is so greedy that he has lost the most basic rationality. This person is not only addicted to gold, silver and treasure, but also has a hobby of loving names. Fame is something that scholar-bureaucrats love most. Many scholar-bureaucrats do not shy away from the knife and axe. If they suffer another knife in their lives of poverty, the only thing they get is the name after death.

Chongzhen also wanted this name. In order to gain fame, Chongzhen always used to find a scapegoat first when doing things. If things are done well, he is wise and mighty.Take the peace negotiation with Man Qing as an example, this can be said to be the only way out for Chongzhen, no matter who opposes the peace negotiation, he must insist on it, because this matter is beneficial to him. But Chongzhen wanted to get things done, but he didn't want to take responsibility, so he pushed Chen Xinjia to take the place of death, messing things up for life and death.Everyone saw this matter, and felt cold in their hearts.

And giving up Ning Yuan is undoubtedly a decision that is beneficial to Chong Zhen personally.However, Chongzhen committed the old problem of greed for fame again. He didn't want to take responsibility, so he pre-set the crime of beheading, trying to trick the ministers into jumping in. But others are not stupid. The ministers discussed in private: "I am in a hurry, so I will do my best, that is, I will kill my generation by abandoning the ground, and what can I do?" It means: Chongzhen is in trouble, so he played tricks again, let us put forward a motion to abandon Ningyuan, and later put the responsibility on the minister for the crime of abandoning the land.

Therefore, in order to avoid the consequences of killing the donkey by the imperial mill, the officials deliberately ignored the reality, fought against Chongzhen desperately, and insisted on opposing the abandonment of Ningyuan. The ministers held meetings and quarreled non-stop, and did not issue orders to Wu Sangui for a long time. The emperor didn't give orders, but he would rather miss the chance to survive than to frame others. Chongzhen didn't understand that big people seek profit, while small people seek fame.If he did the opposite, of course he would die a miserable death.

The big man seeks profit, that is because the big man controls the resources, it is easy to make a profit, and when he has the profit, he can use money to buy fame.The reason why the little people seek fame is because the little people are at a disadvantage and have no profit, so they can only engage in long-term life investment, first accumulate a clear name, and then slowly exchange their good reputation for money. Small people often have no interests that must be given up, but big people are different. If big people take their reputation into account, they must give up a large share of interests.Take Chongzhen as an example, although negotiating peace with the Qing Dynasty would attract criticism, what he got was that he could free up his hands to deal with Li Zicheng, and what he got was a country.

And now Chongzhen, in order to gain fame, would not hesitate to deceive others with evil intentions, but the officials gritted their teeth and insisted not to be fooled. As a result of this game, the loser is the Wanli River and Mountain of Daming. The ministers kept meeting and quarreling. Apart from whether to give up Ningyuan, there was another issue: Chongzhen wanted to tour the south. It means that Chongzhen wants to escape from Beijing, and Li Zicheng is so fierce, it is understandable for Emperor Chongzhen to think about it. But Chongzhen, you can run away as long as you want, but he wants to kill people when he is dying, so he insisted on asking the ministers to propose this plan, but he pretended to be embarrassed, and then shifted the responsibility to others.

Even if you are an emperor, you will suffer retribution if your heart is too bad. As a result, Chongzhen's retribution really came, Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, raised his hand and said: I think the emperor should stay in the capital and fight desperately with the gang of thieves. Li Banghua may also be short-sighted and unable to understand the "sacred will", but it is more likely that he hates Chongzhen so much that he deliberately played Chongzhen like this.With his words here, is Chongzhen still ashamed to talk about the escape? If a person wants to die, it cannot be held back.At that time, Chongzhen had such a strange appearance. Facing the problem of his own life and death, he still tried every means to make the minister take the blame. This has become a fixed way of thinking of him.When something happened, what he thought about was not how to solve it, but how to use it to kill others.

Seeing that all the ministers have learned their skills, all of them are playing hide-and-seek with Chongzhen, and they just don't want to be fooled, Chongzhen feels sad from his heart: Pass the decree and prepare for the state funeral. State funeral? Who will be buried? The ministers asked each other blankly. Chongzhen answered a name, which made all the officials dumbfounded: Wei Zhongxian.
