How to make a famous minister

Chapter 93

Azig has full confidence in his army. After all, there is the basis for the victory of fighting against the Ming Dynasty for so many years.Even if the Ming army reacted so quickly this time, he was not worried that he would fail.

This might sound a bit arrogant, even if the ending text is the last declaration of the little boss before his death.

But history is not fiction after all.Just like a small African country trying to resist the sun never sets, the plane was shot down before it even took off.

Even if the gap in military strength between the Ming Dynasty and the newly established Qing Dynasty was not as huge as a natural moat, it did not mean that it could be bridged by crossing over.

In this attack, in the previous life, the Qing army went down 43 cities in a row and approached Kyoto. After the looting, they were able to display the sign "All officials are free" and flaunted away.

But this time the Qing army also broke into the Great Wall, driving straight all the way, and did not stop until they hit the important place of Datong.

Even so, as many as 10,000+ people were robbed, and there are countless gold and silver treasures.

Zhu Youjian, who heard the military report, was so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill.

In the Qianqing Palace, the maids and eunuchs stood still holding their breaths, and there was not a single sound in the huge palace.

Zhu Youjian was always simple and did not seek luxury in life. The old people in the palace lamented that the Chongzhen Dynasty did not have the luxury of the Tianqi period, let alone the luxury of the Wanli and Taichang years.

Such a simple Zhu Youjian naturally did not have the habit of burning incense in the palace. After all, those incense burns are all money.

If there are no wealthy families without incense in their homes, Daming can't find a few, one is the emperor, and the other is Fan Xuanchao who is now honored as Fan Xiang.

Those who follow these two people also thought about not using incense at home, maybe they can show their honesty and frugality, but later found that these two people don't care about whether your home has incense at all, they only care about whether you have done your work Well, whether there is corruption or not, let it go.

Now the emperor's palace, which has no money to burn incense, has a different smell-the strong smell of Chinese medicine fills the Qianqing Palace, suggesting the emperor's situation.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong stepped into Qianqing Palace, smelling the smell of medicine, he frowned and felt even more sad.

He was almost ten years old, and under Fan Xuanchao's suggestion, Zhu Youjian would bring Zhu Cihong with him when he was in office and when he met ministers, and he even planned to bring him to court to listen to politics in a few years.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, although Zhu Cihong still doesn't have his own views on military affairs, he has already formed a set of hazy concepts.

Ever since Jin Kingdom changed its name in the middle of the year and Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he felt the undercurrent in the court.

Sure enough, the Qing army entered and looted for the fourth time soon.His father had told him about his arrangements and expectations a long time ago. Zhu Cihong upholds his trust in his father and also believes that things will follow his father's idea.

Unexpectedly, the situation was very disappointing, and the father was so angry that he fell ill.During this period of time, he had stopped all classes and concentrated on serving the sick.

Fortunately, the imperial physician said that the father was just out of breath, not a serious problem.Just when Zhu Cihong was relieved, Zhu Youjian ordered the prince to listen to the government on his behalf.

What a ten-year-old prince can know, everyone knows that this is just Zhu Youjian's training for the prince, and they are very pleased.Whenever the prince is confused about the government, the officials will always explain in detail, trying to make the prince understand and understand.

For those younger officials, this is a good opportunity for the prince to remember himself, and they dare not be lazy and play tricks to fool the prince.

With Fan Xuanchao watching from the side, they didn't dare to take the crown prince off their feet, and they all behaved well.

Although the prince was deliberately cultivated by Zhu Youjian and Fan Xuanchao, immersed in the political atmosphere since childhood, and developed a keen sense of politics, he has no awareness of court battles at all.

Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was seriously ill, but he didn't let the empress take charge of the harem, and he didn't order the concubine to serve the sick.Everything in the harem was handed over to Queen Zhang.

Even if you are blind, you can see something, let alone these fine people inside and outside the palace.

But the prince was stunned and couldn't see anything!

Over the years, he has been used to his mother who lived in seclusion for "recovery" and would only see her once a year during Chinese New Year, and hurriedly returned to the palace within two quarters of an hour.

So this time when his father fell ill, he was also used to having Empress Zhang in charge of Fengyin.As for not having a favorite concubine to serve her illness, the prince didn't think there was any major problem.Father didn't have much love for the concubines, so it's normal not to invite them to come, anyway, the maids and eunuchs are doing better.

He couldn't see it, so naturally no one would foolishly remind him.Just let him be immersed in the mist of "good father" and "good master".

Zhu Cihong, who was watched vaguely by the crowd as "the stupid son of the landlord's family", entered the palace and saluted Zhu Youjian, "I have seen my father."

Fan Xuanchao was also beside Zhu Youjian, and when he saw the prince coming, he also saluted.

Both Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cihong persuaded him, "You are the prince and the tutor, it is right for a disciple to salute to the master, you just accept it."

"The crown prince is the crown prince, and the humble ministers are the ministers. The courtesy of the emperor and ministers cannot be abolished."

Although Zhu Cihong was in a daze, Zhu Youjian understood that Fan Xuanchao was ashamed of the empress, and felt deeply that he owed the prince's love for him and could not express it to others, so he had no choice but to scrupulously abide by etiquette and never One step beyond the thunder pool.

Sometimes Zhu Youjian really thinks that Fan Xuanchao is cute and silly at his age.

"Stupid son" Zhu Cihong is stupid, but every time Fan Xuanchao bows to him, he consciously accepts only half the bow.This made Zhu Youjian very satisfied.

Zhu Cihong reported to Zhu Youjian about today's government affairs in a serious manner, and occasionally Fan Xuanchao would add things that were unclear.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian nodded while listening, thinking to himself that after the year passed, the prince would be able to follow him to court.

After talking about state affairs, you can talk about family affairs.

"How is your father today?"

Zhu Cihong asked with concern.

"It's much easier," Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "If Hanyuan didn't let me lie down for a few more days, I would have been able to go to court a long time ago."

Fan Xuanchao easily kicked the ball back to the imperial physician, "The imperial physician ordered you to rest and not have any mood swings."

Zhu Youjian said: "Although it is resting, I didn't say that I should lie still all the time."

"Your Majesty can go and enjoy the flowers and snow."

"It's freezing cold, I'm too lazy to move."

Fan Xuanchao smiled - look, it's not that I won't let you move, it's that you are too lazy to move.

Zhu Youjian just likes to see his slightly complacent appearance, which is quite different from the serious "Fan Xiang".Sighing, he said, "I'm going to court now, and I'm angry, so it's better not to go."

After this battle, Zhu Youjian realized that the army was corrupt, the generals were corrupt, and the low morale could not be solved by rectifying the civil servants.He is ordering Fan Xuanchao to reorganize the army, so the corrupt accounts and the figures of empty pay can't hold back his temper just by listening to the retelling here, let alone the court.

Zhu Youjian planned to wait for the army to rectify to the last moment, and the general family would rebound. Fan Xuanchao couldn't hold back anymore, and then came out to support him.
