Chapter 884

Emperor Chongzhen was a miserable man.

If he had said this before, it is estimated that no one would believe it. Many people think that he is a lucky man. If he is not lucky, he will be tossed to death as early as when his father was the prince of Ciqing palace and was tossed to death by imperial concubine Zheng.

As a result, Zhu Youjian and his brother Zhu Youxiao survived tenaciously, grew up, married and had children.

He is even more legendary. This is his elder brother. He died at the age of 23. The apocalyptic emperor had no children, so he passed the throne to him. Originally, he was just a fan king. When the palace was completed at a certain age, he had to go to a local fan. If there was no imperial edict, he would not be allowed to return to the capital all his life. He was a subsidiary of the royal family.

But I never thought that his brother died so early, and the throne was passed to him and fell on his hand.

Zhu Yujian became emperor at the age of 17 and was named Chongzhen. As soon as he came to power, he eradicated the 9000 year old Wei Zhongxian and Hakka who called the wind and rain and brought disaster to the imperial court during the apocalypse, which won him the title of the son of heaven. The Ming Dynasty also washed away the gloomy decline of the previous dynasty. The imperial court was united and the monarchs and officials were ready to do something great.

Emperor Chongzhen was also a diligent man. The apocalyptic emperor of China was very lazy. He spent more time in the carpentry room than in the imperial study. He was careless in government affairs and spent a lot of time playing and having fun, so that the government was abandoned. People like Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the opportunity to control the government and made the imperial court dirty.

Unlike emperor Chongzhen, who distrusted eunuchs, he also seized Zhu's right to approve the eunuchs who had been in the south for more than 200 years. Then he took all things and did it himself. All memorials and military newspapers all over the country must be handed over to him and approved by him in person in order to be effective. He was very diligent. He would be responsible for everything himself every morning, He went to court early. Sometimes he said that he was the life of a cow, which was a hard life.

All the people who said he had a good life said he had a bad life, at least a hard life.

However, all people believe that his efforts and diligence will bring him peace in the world and make him the Holy Lord of ZTE. All his styles are the wind of the Holy Lord of the Ming monarch, without being confused.

But ten years later, when he was Emperor for ten years, he did not revitalize Daming, but lost half of Daming.

Today's Daming is only one step away from extinction. The difference is a big defeat. I'm afraid it will be confirmed in the battle of Shandong.

There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. However, Emperor Chongzhen was extremely afraid of the upcoming war in Shandong. On the one hand, he wanted to annihilate the enemy and unify the world through this war.

But he also worried that his army would be defeated and defeated by the other party, and then he would become the king of the subjugated country and have no face to see his ancestors and ancestors.

Under such a situation of worrying about gain and loss, he stopped going to court and changed to practicing martial arts in prohibition. He hoped to train and lead soldiers himself and realize some things.

As a result, it should be an old saying that he is really a busy life. Why do you say so? This is because he doesn't go to the morning Dynasty, but he still gets up early. He just goes to the royal garden to practice his soldiers, instead of going to the office after he gets up in the morning.

So, when the Liu family and their son officially went on duty to handle official business, Emperor Chongzhen had been busy for most of the day. This is the saying that busy life is bad life.

It was at this time that he received news from the south.

They had no accurate information to prove that Liu Bu was dead, no one saw Liu Bu's body, and the Chinese army officials did not publicly announce Liu Bu's evil deeds and hold a state funeral.

With Liu Bu's position in the Chinese army and the Chinese Empire, if he dies, he must be called Hong, and then a state funeral must be held, which is a grand funeral.

However, the Chinese Empire did not reveal any news, but emperor Chongzhen and his cabinet members, after combining all the circumstances, came to the conclusion that Liu BU should have died in the assassination outside Jiming temple.

This conclusion was not put forward by Xu Jianqiang, but by Zhou yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Zhou yanru synthesized more than a dozen intelligence and all aspects of intelligence and came to a conclusion that if Liu Bu of the Chinese army was still there, the Chinese army would not be so embarrassed and in such a mess.

Only when Liu Bu or Liu Yuanqiao had an accident, they would be in a mess and become angry. Liu Bu and Liu Yuanqiao are equivalent to the two legs of the Chinese army. Neither of them is indispensable. Now that Liu Yuanqiao can jump out, make a voice and make a public statement, it shows that Liu BU should have an accident.

Liu Bu was the one who had the accident, which made Daming officials, who were overjoyed and ran to tell each other.

Liu Bu is the God of war of the Chinese Empire. Their prince, the Chinese army he controls, has maintained a record of total victory. Since its rise, no Ming army has been able to defeat them on the front battlefield.

Basically, the court didn't even have to think about it. They could draw a conclusion that the war in Shandong was definitely commanded by Liu Bu in the Chinese Empire.

Such an ox man commanded more than 100000 Chinese troops against 700000 Ming troops. They were not sure of victory.

Now their generals Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang boast that they are sure to win and defeat the enemy.

But even these officials believe Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang. They boast and have never fought on the battlefield. Why dare they say such words? They say this mainly to boost morale and make a last resort choice.

You know, if the generals in charge of the soldiers say that the war can't be fought, how can they fight? Everyone goes home to farm and raise pigs, so they can only brag and force, hoping to boost morale. This is a good intention. It can't be considered a crime of bullying the king if a thin donkey pulls hard shit and a donkey doesn't fall down.

But at such a time, when everyone was afraid, the strongest minions of the Chinese army and their most powerful enemy were dead, which really made them happy and excited.

Zhou yanru is a good analyst. He quickly analyzed the whole situation. He came to a conclusion that if the Chinese army lost Liu Bu, it would cause irreparable losses to them.

Liu Yuanqiao's position in the army and his experience in leading troops to war are far inferior to Liu Bu, and even his prestige in the army is not as good as Liu bu.

I don't know whether he can subdue the group of generals and valiant generals under his command. Even if he can tame this group of proud soldiers and valiant generals, whether he can fight well is also a problem.

At the same time, there is a more optimistic and exciting news.

Liu Bu is the crown prince of the Chinese Empire and the future heir. We are optimistic about the Chinese Empire because Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Bu are the best partners. The father and son partner can ensure peace and eternal stability for decades.

Now Liu Yuanqiao has no successor, and there is no successor, so everyone is not optimistic about him.

It's like we don't think highly of the Zhengde emperor. The Zhengde Emperor didn't have a prince, and the ministers couldn't afford to look at him and changed ways to bully him. When he died, it was because there was no prince to speak for him. It was hard black, which turned the Zhengde emperor into a worthless and confused king.

This is the practice of this era. People without children are called widows. Liu Yuanqiao is in his fifties. Even if he can have children, it is estimated that it is difficult to cultivate him into a qualified successor. These are greatly beneficial to Daming, and everyone is excited about it.

After Zhou yanru issued these analyses one by one, he came to a conclusion that the current situation is greatly good and beneficial to Daming.

Facing this situation, the emperor began to move.

Seeing that the decisive battle in Shandong was about to begin, this favorable information came out one after another, but he was very happy that there would be great good things and great good luck.

As soon as the emperor was happy, he ordered a thick reward for the dead and Zhang Jianxiu, who presided over the assassination in Nanjing.

Xu Jianqiang said, "our intelligence network in Nanjing has been dealt a fatal blow. Basically, it has been uprooted. All spies and dark piles have been executed, so that the intelligence we get lags far behind. We don't know how many people have survived."

The emperor felt some emotion. He said, "where's Zhang Jianxiu? Has he survived?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "if there is no accident, Zhang Jianxiu should still be alive, but he has been lurking. He will return north only when the alert is relaxed and the time is ripe. Therefore, his majesty can give him a generous reward now, but whether he can accept it depends on his life."

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. He said, "look at what fate. I am the son of heaven. He will certainly come back alive."

Xu Jianqiang is not so optimistic, but he knows the strength of Liu's National Security Bureau. Whether he can come back alive depends on his ability and luck, so he said: "thanks to the emperor."

These things happened to Liu Jiajun, but people up and down the Ming court were happy and happy about it. Originally, the two sides were in a state of equal strength.

The Chinese army had these problems continuously. First, they fell out with the Cao Gang and paralyzed the canal. Then there was the assassination of Jiming temple, which dealt a great blow to them. Now the command system of Liu Jiajun is chaotic, the logistics supply is not in place, and the war in Shandong has not been fought, but Shandong has become a mess. They have already worked with the Cao Gang, This made the emperor very happy. He said, "it's really a good start now."
