Chapter 10: Ruying giving birth (1)

After the storm of confusing the palace, Zhu Yinglong realized that Wei Zhongxian was getting more and more urgent to get rid of his heart. If he fought with him in the court with a serious fight, he would not be afraid. He would be afraid that he would give you such a trick, and then attack the people around you. Such a gangster's method is hard to guard against. This time he accompanied his wife and lost his troops. It is not guaranteed that there will be no next time. This is a bit of a headache. There was no news about Shadow before this. After the incident happened, he received a report from Zhou Huaian. He knew that the master almost had an accident. Zhou Huaian was scared and sweated. If his information was timely, such a thing would not have happened. Zhu Yinglong knew that it could not be blamed. Shadow's reorganization would inevitably have a little impact on the collection and transmission of the intelligence, but no one would have thought of such a thing at this critical moment.

Zhu Yinglong avoided Wei Zhongxian's plot without any danger, thinking to himself, it is not a gentleman to come but not go. If you use such a vulgar trick, I will not do it.

Beauty Yang was given a white silk the next day, and committed suicide by hanging a beam in his bedroom that night. His brother Yang Huan was dismissed from the position of Minister of Justice by Emperor Tianqi. Zhu Yinglong took the opportunity to push Yang He to this position. Wei Zhongxian must have been scolded by Emperor Tianqi, with a gloomy face and no objection.

When Yang Hejiu was in the officialdom, when he received the news that he was promoted to the Minister of Justice, he still recommended him to the position of King Wang. From this moment on, he had been marked as the King Wang Party, and his life was over for Mingzhe to protect himself.

As the water rises, Zhu Yinglong's old father-in-law Zhou Kui, deputy envoy of the military commander in the south of the city, was also promoted to the next level, removing the word "deputy".

The lively and complicated six years of the apocalypse passed like this.

From the first to the eighth day of the lunar month, the court departments settled the accounts of last year's income and expenditure and the budget for the next year's fun. The cabinet and various departments wrote the total expenses of last year and the expenses of the next year as "notes" and handed over to the Silijian to "approve the dividends". At this time, the Silijian became the real emperor. Wei Zhongxian could do whatever he wanted. He could transfer hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver to those yamen that were not needed at all. Those who really needed money, such as the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works to cast weapons, and the border wars were in constant trouble. However, these key departments could only have limited funds. Most of these funds were even included in the pockets of corrupt officials. The taxes collected every day were not enough to break them into two. It would be strange if they did this.

From the Jiajing period, the imperial court had a fiscal deficit every year, with the most reaching millions of taels a year. What should we do? We can only increase the taxes of the people. After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu stipulated the titanium tax system. Now, the good ones are three or four. In the poor area, the people worked hard to plant food for a year. In the end, it would be good that one-third of the ones in their bowls could be found. No wonder the tragedy of Yizi robbery occurred after a natural disaster.

The boring eight days finally passed, and the six ministers of the cabinet were tired of each other's arguments. Zhu Yinglong thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but the court received a letter of emergency from North Korea.

In the first month of the seventh year of the Tianqi period, Huang Taiji sent Jirhalang and Bel Amin, Yuetou, Ajige and others to lead 30,000 troops to conquer North Korea, and drove straight into the city of Pyongyang.

At this time, Huang Taiji did not come to attack the Ming court, which greatly relieved these eunuch-party ministers. However, there were still many people in the court who supported North Korea. These people were naturally led by the newly appointed Minister of Justice Yang He, and strongly demanded that the court send troops to rescue North Korea. However, their strength was too weak. In particular, many ministers were even more afraid that if they sent troops to rescue North Korea, they would definitely take their anger on Huang Taiji. What should he do if he sent troops south?

However, this no longer requires these weak and incompetent ministers to decide what to do. Soon Huang Taiji successfully used lightning tactics to conquer Pyongyang. North Korean king Li Jue fled. Soon the King of Korea expressed his surrender. Amin and North Korea, which were the Later Jin Dynasty, were the Later Jin Dynasty and North Korea, and they decided to establish a "brother alliance."

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong who was responsible for peacekeeping, was even impeached by court ministers, saying that the Later Jin dared to invade Korea, which was completely "caused by peacekeeping". Yuan Chonghuan submitted a memorial to defend himself, emphasizing that he "taken the enemy's trouble in Jiangdong, and then calmed down the peace." When the enemy found out about the situation here, the three cities of Jinzhou, Zhongzuo and Dalinghe had been completed, and "the war defense was four hundred miles away from the gate, and the Jintang became more solid." After this defense, Emperor Tianqi did not pursue it. Yuan Chonghuan's explanation was to use peacekeeping as a means to ease the military attack of the Later Jin and gain more time to strengthen the defense outside Shanhaiguan.

Although Yuan Chonghuan's approach was not a little sincere, Huang Taiji really wanted to discuss peace. He just wanted to win some time for himself. The corruption and decline of the Ming court were even more like the Southern Song Dynasty three hundred years ago. Although his ancestors were defeated by Genghis Khan, the great Mongolian hero, history will once again witness the glory of the Jurchens, and in his hands, it will continue the dream of three hundred years ago, enter the Central Plains, and turn the Han people into the Jurchens' world.

Zhu Yinglong, a nation of North Korea, also had love and hate. Before the Later Jin entered the Central Plains, North Korea had always stood against the opposition to the Later Jin Dynasty. Even when it was defeated by the Later Jin Dynasty, he stood firmly on the side of the Ming Dynasty. Especially after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea had always acted to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, in Zhu Yinglong's time and space, North Korea split into two countries, South Korea desperately denied China, and even believed that the birthplace of the Chinese nation was in North Korea, and Confucius was also theirs.

The Dragon Boat Festival also originated in North Korea, and Zhu Yinglong also wanted to know why this happened. In the time and space he is in, North Korea completely learned the Ming Dynasty, and imitated everything from clothing to customs. The upper nobles of North Korea were all proud of their fluent Chinese language. Perhaps it was influenced by the more despicable nation in the east. It may be because of this hatred that North Korea's hatred for the Later Jin Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years. In short, this is a very confused account and cannot be calculated clearly.

After the Lantern Festival, news came from Kaifeng that Xu Ruying had reacted these days and might be about to give birth. Zhu Yinglong was so nervous when he received this news. His wife was about to give birth, but her husband was not around. He felt really uncomfortable. He could not see his own flesh and blood born with his own eyes. He never thought that he would taste the feeling of being a father in this different time and space. I don’t know if it was a boy or a girl. As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yinglong couldn’t help crying happily. You must know what a man who was about to be a father. Only after he had experienced it in his true form can he know it.
