Chapter 674 I am only a lobbyist for myself and the people of the world

"Haha...haha..." Chen Zilong laughed loudly, "Did Chen hear it wrong? He is in the midst of his destruction. He really thought that Yixingchao could be resurrected by his tens of thousands of troops? I am afraid that even the tens of thousands of palaces will not be able to save the land of the tens of thousands of people, so he dares to talk nonsense about the world?"

Qian Sule quietly waited for Chen Zilong to finish laughing and said, "Isn't you and I still help me? Are there countless loyal and righteous people in the court who help me? Are there tens of millions of Han people in the world who help me?"

Chen Zilong's face gradually solidified, and he shouted: "The princess is not planning each other! A good game of chess is a game of dead chess by his intentions. Do you still dare to hope that Chen can help him with a helping hand?"

"Wozi, Wozi, have you ever proposed to support him in the court?" Qian Su sighed, "Actually, you and I understand in our hearts that his intention is to return a bright world in this world."

Chen Zilong was a little excited, "Chen did indeed plan to support him at the beginning. One is that he is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, the other is that he does have the ability to be better than ordinary people, and the third is that the eldest princess has a bad reputation for governing the country and is not favorable to the country and the court... But you also know that he actually wanted to subvert the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. Taizu wanted to share the world with the scholars and officials, but he wanted to do the opposite. How could such a monster win the world? If he stole the world and did not need the Tartars to attack, our court would die in civil strife."

Qian Sule smiled bitterly and said, "But he was just talking about it after all. In recent years, he has not seen him again use his old tricks to plunder the scholars of the three prefectures in Hangzhou."

Chen Zilong said: "But he has been governing the three prefectures for a long time, and where do the people appointed by the government offices of various prefectures and counties come from? In addition to remaining in office, there is a new scholar? All officials come from his army. The scholars of the three prefectures dare not speak out."

"Isn't this the imperial court not enrolling imperial examinations and recruiting scholars?"

"Hmph, do you think the court will open a statutory rank and the officials appointed by the court can take office in his territory? The agricultural tax in the three palaces is reduced, but the tax is transferred to the aristocratic families and merchants. Isn't this what he claimed to have robbed the rich and helped the poor?"

"But after all, the people's livelihood in the three prefectures is getting better, so this is beyond reproach? Besides, the aristocratic merchants in the three prefectures did not object, and they were at peace with each other. As I heard and saw with my own eyes, the merchants in Hangzhou praised him. Because of his decrees and the profits of merchants were not reduced due to commercial taxes, but increased a lot."

Chen Zilong sneered and said, "You really stood on his side and spoke for him. The coastal areas of Jiangnan are originally a place of prosperity for trade, and it is not a strange thing for merchants to increase profits, but in the Central Plains, business corruption, if the government passes the agricultural tax onto merchants, if the government transfers the agricultural tax to the merchants, nine of them will be in rebellion. Moreover, according to his official strategy, if the scholars in the world lose the privilege of entering the officialdom, they will definitely cause chaos. Chen was surprised. Did he just want to let those under his command who could not read a lot of big words to go to his herdsmen for him?"

Qian Sule said calmly: "He has a solution. Jiangnan School has been built, and children in the three palaces can all be admitted for free. The school also provides a sumptuous lunch. One period is 3,000 people, one period is 3 years, and within ten years, he will not lack people under his command."

Chen Zilong was shocked, and he suddenly felt a bone-broken chill.

This is a cold that is desperate.

It is one period of three years, and within ten years, he has ten thousand people under his command.

This number is nearly half of the registered officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

Enough, really enough.

This is a complete change of the elite class and a complete reshuffle of interests.

Countless families and wealthy families will decline.

Chen Zilong laughed in anger and said, "Taizu...Lizulizong, have you heard it? The Ming Dynasty royal family has produced such a monster who forgets the ancestors!"

Qian Sule suddenly spoke, "He is not a descendant of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Zilong was shocked, "Are you serious?"

Qian Sule slowly told Chen Zilong about the causes and consequences of the misunderstanding.

Chen Zilong was stunned for a while, and sneered: "I said, it turns out that it is not a member of the Zhu family. But it's strange. When I was today, the princess knew the truth, but she didn't tell it out loud, allowing the people of the world to misunderstand... It's not unfair to this point in the Ming Dynasty!"

After saying that, Chen Zilong stared at Qian Sule, "You won't stop him?"

Qian Sule smiled bitterly and said, "Can you stop it?"

Chen Zilong said sternly: "This will cause an unprecedented chaos and catastrophe! You and I will be the sinners of history!"

Qian Sule asked back, "Isn't it a chaotic world now? The country has been destroyed, the family has been defeated, and the people have been slaughtered... How can it go? The worst thing has happened, why don't you try it? What if it is really as he expected, and then stand up? Lengzi, the most important thing at the moment is to block the Qing army. After passing the hurdle in front of you, at least in terms of killing the Tartars, you, me, and even His Majesty, and even the Daxi and Dashun Minjun are all people."

Chen Zilong opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

After about half a stick of incense, Chen Zilong asked, "How do he want me to help him?"

Qian Sule shook his head and said, "He doesn't need you to help him, what he needs is that you help Yixingchao guard Yingtian Prefecture."

Chen Zilong said in a muffled voice: "Even if it is, I didn't want him to accept my affection... Then what do he want me to do?"

"Just like the last time the Qing army attacked Yingtian Prefecture, recruit soldiers, raise funds, and calm people's hearts!"

Chen Zilong suddenly asked, "Today, are you a lobbyist of Your Majesty or his lobbyist?"

Qian Sule said leisurely: "I am just a lobbyist for myself and the Han people all over the world."

Chen Zilong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let's cooperate once, only once."

....

In Hanliang Hall.

"Hu——." Zhu Cilang sighed deeply.

He said to Qian Su in front of him: "The Grand Tutor is indeed my loyalty, and this time he has helped me a lot. Chen Zilong is willing to work together with me, and I will be 50% sure to defend against the Qing army's attack this time."

Qian Sule reminded: "Your Majesty must not underestimate the Qing army. For the sake of my ministers, you must also order the Duke of Zhenguo to lead the army to help the north before you can rest assured."

Zhu Cixuan frowned and said, "The Grand Tutor thinks that if I leave Duke Zhenguo, I can't defend this country?"

Qian Sule quickly said: "I think it's always good for the court if there is more power."

Zhu Cilang snorted coldly, "I know what I know. If the situation of the war is really unstable, I will order the Duke of Zhenguo to come to help."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Zhu Cixuan asked, "The Grand Tutor thinks that if I use Chen Zilong, what position should I be granted?"

Qian Sule replied: "Wozi wants to recruit soldiers and funds for Your Majesty to calm the hearts of the people in the capital... From the eyes of the minister, it is better to restore the official position."

"What the Grand Tutor means to let Chen Zilong return to the cabinet?"

"yes."
