The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 725 Resign

Jiang Chuan looked at a letter in his hand with a complicated expression, and he was stunned for a while before opening it and quickly browsing it.

This letter was written by Ji Siyuan, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Zhongxian entrusted the guards to deliver it to Jiang Chuan.

The content of the letter is divided into three parts, one part is to reflect on the various mistakes he has made since he came to the throne, express deep remorse, and feel that he is not worthy of being a king.The second part is to list all kinds of achievements of Jiang Chuan since he came to power, and praised him greatly, thinking that Jiang Chuan is now most suitable to become the lord of the world.

The last part emphasizes that I am sincerely willing to abdicate to the virtuous, and I only hope that Jiang Chuan can make me feel at ease to be a small citizen, cultivate myself, be self-sufficient, and end the rest of my life.He even said that he was willing to take the initiative to persuade those Ming clans to cooperate actively, not to cause trouble, and to live the rest of his life with peace of mind.

Regarding the feeling of this letter, Jiang Chuan was not only a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.

He didn't cut off the emperor's understanding of the outside world's information, so he had hoped that he would be able to retreat in spite of the difficulties, and the intention of his Zen position was in it.

It's just that for a long time, he has begun to forget the emperor who was locked in the deep palace by himself, so he feels a little surprised.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has been resentful all the time, why did he suddenly become a sensible person?" Jiang Chuan handed the letter to Liu Ji and said with a smile.

After Liu Ji read it quickly, he smiled and said: "The emperor is young and vigorous. It is not easy for him to express his willingness to abdicate on his own initiative. There must be Wei Zhongxian's advice. This Eunuch Wei, although he is an ambitious man He is a human being, but his loyalty to the emperor is commendable."

"How does Your Highness plan to respond to the emperor?" Su Qin asked in a piece.

"Let's hang it up for a few days. Baba rushed to reply, so that he saw the joke of the king. The seat is there, no one can take it away. The emperor said he was giving up, but in fact he just wanted to give up the seat." It’s all about taking advantage of this persuasion trend for a chance of survival.” Jiang Chuan said with a calm smile.

At this point, when he ascends to the throne is just a matter of his mood, it doesn't matter if the emperor lets him or not.

Let it go, it's nothing more than decent.Don't let it go, just kick it down, who can say anything?

Besides, Jiang Chuan had plenty of ways to make the emperor abdicate obediently.

So the emperor's letter is just to show his heart, and it's just a chance to survive for himself.

Otherwise, he could "death" at any time.

The matter was put aside for the time being.

Liu Ji picked up a stack of thick persuasion forms and said: "Your Highness, these are the persuasion forms issued by officials in the past few days, including everything from the first rank to the next, and even some local officials have also submitted forms."

After putting it down, he picked up another stack and said, "These are the watches on those ministers."

"These are the watches on the Ji family's clan."

"these are……"

According to different categories, according to different groups, Liu Ji placed more than a dozen stacks of persuasion forms in front of him, and each stack was thick.

Jiang Chuan just glanced at it, and didn't even bother to open it.

I was a little excited at the beginning, but after watching too much, it was all the same cliché, nothing more than flattering in different ways.

He is very clear about the thoughts of the people below. Some people want to take credit for being a minister of the dragon, while most of them just follow suit.

This is actually a matter of standing in line. If everyone else is on it, if you don't, it means that you have nostalgia for the old dynasty and are rebellious.

"Tell Chen Zhaojun back and ask him to find out which officials above the seventh rank in Beijing have not submitted the list so far, and what the reason is for not submitting the list. It is just an investigation, no arrests are allowed." Jiang Chuan turned and waited on the side Qi Xuan ordered.

Qi Xuan accepted the order softly.

Looking back to meet the inquiring eyes of Liu Ji and others, Jiang Chuan smiled and said: "Since ancient times, people who have been fishing for fame and reputation are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are also some talents who are strong, capable, and not good at flattering. Although the things they seem to do on the surface They're all the same, but there's still a distinction to be made."

Liu Ji and the others are all good people, and Jiang Chuan understood it when he said it.

Some of these people who didn't show up on the list were just trying to get a reputation for being upright and upright.But there are also some people who are immersed in practical work and are not good at flattering and flattering people.

It's not that the people on the list are all loyal to Jiang Chuan, while those not on the list are dissatisfied.The truth of things is often quite different from what the eyes see.

Jiang Chuan asked the Black Ice Station to investigate and distinguish these people who did not appear on the list. Naturally, he would not soften his heart towards those who were trying to catch their reputation, but he had to use his discretion to those who were not good at flattering but had real skills.

"Your Highness is holy." Liu Ji and the three said in unison.

"What kind of saints are not saints, military adviser, Su Zi, Ruzhen, my way of doing things is not enough for you. But I have always been very clear that to be a king is not how capable I am, the most important thing is If your mind is not confused, you need to know what to do and what not to do. So in the future, I need you to remind me, so that I don't get confused." Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said sincerely.

In front of other people, he may have to put on the airs of an unfathomable king, but in front of these confidant ministers, he has always been very humble and wise.

In terms of governing the country and controlling people, although he has some experience in the past two years and the experience of his previous life, he is still a novice after all. Sometimes he is too hasty, and sometimes it is impractical, so he still needs these sages and veterans to give some pointers.

Self-knowledge is important to be a human being, especially to be a king.A man without self-knowledge destroys himself.If a king does not have self-knowledge, what will be destroyed is the country and the country, and it will be the thousands of Li people who will suffer.

"Although your highness is still inexperienced in governing the country, he already has the demeanor of a wise and virtuous ruler since ancient times. This is the luck of my subjects, and the blessing of the people's society." Liu Ji praised sincerely.

Su Qin and Hu Zongxian also nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chuan blushed a little after being praised by the three, and changed the topic to Su Qin and said, "Su Zi, I'm afraid that the Mongolian ministries and the three kingdoms of Korea have almost received the news, and they will definitely send special envoys to congratulate them. The reception of the vassal state is Su Zi, you should take care of the errands of the Fanyuan. If you are short of manpower, ask the Ministry of Rites to send someone to assist you. The most important thing is to find out if there are any spies hidden in the mission. The specific reception details can be handled by the Ministry of Rites gone."

Su Qin bowed his head and took the order: "I will take care of it, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Jiang Chuan turned to Hu Zongxian again and said: "These days, all war zones across the country must step up their vigilance to prevent people with ulterior motives from coming out to make trouble. If there is something wrong, we can send troops to wipe it out immediately."

Hu Zongxian is the governor of the general staff, which is equivalent to the chief of the general staff of the whole army. He has the management and command power over the whole army, so this order will be given to him.

"The minister leads the decree."
