"Your Majesty makes it sound so easy."
Empress Yi 'an was still determined." At this moment, Changping must still be immersed in Sister Zhou's protection and love. She is happy every day. If the matter of being betrothed to Chu Feng is told to Changping, His Majesty thinks that she might be able to bear it."”
"This is Changping's order…"
"Your Majesty is wrong."
Empress Yi 'an chased after him," Changping knows about the matters of the country. How will Chu Feng treat her when she reaches Shengjing?" Perhaps there would be joy in three to five days, but if the time was long, would Chu Feng really still listen to Changping?”
"If this is the case, what will happen if Imperial Sister-in-law goes?”Zhu Youjian didn't understand.
"This concubine has been through many things, the reality of husband and wife is ultimately better than Changping.”
" Moreover, I heard that Chu Feng is a magnificent youth. If that's the case, I don't think I'm inferior to him in terms of political tactics…"
"If Chu Feng still needs a few more years to grow up, I will brainwash him every day. It is difficult to guarantee that Chu Feng will not submit to Great Ming and obey His Majesty…"
A series of words finally moved Chongzhen.
To put it bluntly, he had no choice.
Princess Changping was really too young, and Chu Feng was also a young man. If these two people were together, Chongzhen did not feel that it would be of much help to Great Ming.
"Your Majesty…"
Seeing that the Emperor was hesitating, Empress Yi 'an's tone softened.""It's all for Great Ming and also for the world. This concubine was born with a thin life. After Chu Feng surrenders to the Imperial Court, this concubine will naturally end this life. It can also be considered as comforting the former emperor's spirit in heaven.”
"Imperial Sister-in-law…"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to pity me. The empire established by Emperor Taizu must not be buried in your hands, and it must not be nibbled away by foreign enemies.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Zhang Yan of Yi 'an stood up, put her hands in front of her, and bowed heavily to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian fell silent.
He quietly stared at the woman in front of him and recalled the speckles from before. For the first time, he realized that he could not even compare to a woman.
He was so ashamed!
"Forget it!"
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath."Since that's the case, I'll discuss the marriage with Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi in the afternoon.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty…"
"It's just that it's been hard on Imperial Sister-in-law…"
"Loyalty to the ruler for the country and sharing the worries of the Son of Heaven should be like this.”
Since what needed to be said had been said, Empress Yi 'an did not stay any longer. She stood up and bid farewell. Her hands were still placed on her waist, and she puffed out her chest. She left the Palace of Heavenly Purity in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
…………
The Ming Dynasty was very strange.
From the moment Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was destined to be a wonder of the entire dynasty.
Throughout history, it was as if the temperament of every emperor was determined by the appearance of the founding emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to eat, be a monk, and be poor. Therefore, when he ascended the throne, he fought with corrupt officials, scholar-bureaucrats, and rich businessmen.
Kill the crafty sycophants and quell the chaos.
The main reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change history, change the history of the Song Dynasty that was bound by the scholar-bureaucrats, and change the dynasties that were destroyed by the civil officials.
Unfortunately, he was too loud.
It was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark. Since ancient times, the civil service group had been this indestructible button.
Even the later generations did not change this situation.
The Ming Dynasty had been established for 300 years, and the royal family and civil officials had also fought for 300 years.
The Donglin Party was the most typical representative of the civil service group during the late Ming Dynasty, but it was very complicated.
Naturally, the leaders and second-in-command of South Zhili, North Zhili, and even all the officials in the Ming Dynasty had some sort of relationship with the Donglin Party.
It formed a huge net of interests that was enough to net the entire Ming Empire. It was complicated and intertwined.
The national treasury was empty, and the pay of the border troops had become a non-existent existence, forcing the emperor to sell his property to pay the army.
Although the salary of the officials of the Ming Dynasty was not high, there were many ways to earn money. After all, the officials and merchants were not separated from each other and had their own small treasuries.
As a result, Da Ming began to develop in an abnormal direction.
It was so abnormal that the ministers of the imperial court were as rich as a country. The middle-level officials followed suit, and the low-level officials increased taxes and oppressed and exploited them.
Just like that, they had been exploited and exploited for decades. Coincidentally, they had arrived at the Little Ice Age.
The Guanzhong region suffered from successive droughts, and the people were in dire straits. Starving people were everywhere, and it was terrifying to the point where they exchanged their children for food and lived on human flesh.
It was not an exaggeration at all!
Helpless, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, and the others appeared. They killed the rich and helped the poor. They rose up and united all the suffering people who could not survive.
They beat up the rich and divided their assets.
Li Zicheng shouted the slogan of equal land and free of taxes. To put it bluntly, he did not have to pay food if he followed him.
From then on, this group of people was like a magnet, sucking batches of iron dregs together. They grew bigger and bigger.
There are no good people in troubled times.
They only had one thought, to survive.
However, in the end, it was the peasant army that rebelled. No matter how many people there were, they were just a motley crew. In the end, they could not resist the regular army of Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Li Zicheng's group had been scattered many times. Not long after they were scattered, a large number of them had been won over.、
They were scattered, won over, scattered, and won over again…
In the end, it was because the people could not see any hope in life. Other than rebelling, there was no other way out.
Having just finished attacking Kaifeng, Li Zicheng's Great Shun Army was in the limelight. Their reputation had spread throughout the entire Central Plains, as well as Lu and Wan.
The current Roaming King was Gao Yingxiang, the earliest Roaming King.
Out of the dozens of rebel kings under his command, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were the most famous.
The boundary of Henan.
Xingyang City.
"Come, come, brothers. Although we didn't win this battle, we still severely injured Hong Chengchou…"
"This time, I've finally experienced the fighting style of the Ming army…"
" I suggest that we don't f * cking clash with the Ming army next time. Our people still can't…"
"What are you afraid of? Motherf * cker, even if you lose your head, it'll only be the size of a bowl…"
The rebel army had occupied Xingyang for some years. The state capitals, county offices, and the nobles in the city had all been wiped out.
However, the peasant army was less excited after they got some of their assets.
Only a few of the peasant soldiers had military uniforms. They wore flying saucer hats and red cloth armor.
However, most of them were still muddy legs, wrapped in thick tattered coats, covered in mud, some had not taken a bath for several years, and their hair was so hard that it was enough to strangle people.
In the city, in the government office.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and other rebel kings gathered here.
A large pile of dry wood was lit in the yamen of the past. The fire burned, bringing warmth to the cold air.
"Uncle, before the army retreated, I heard that Hong Chengchou was transferred away by Zhu Youjian?”
Li Zicheng gulped down a mouthful of wine, smacked his lips and asked,"But the wild boar skin outside the pass is about to break in?”
The so-called uncle was Gao Yingxiang!
