People are in the heavens, breeding pacesetters

Chongzhen was stunned, "My son?"

Zhang Jingyun nodded, of course this child was his. Beizhai gave birth to Zhang Jingyun, and he was brought into the palace by Zhang Jingyun before the full moon.

Although it is Emperor Chongzhen who makes the decision on the surface and Zhang Jingyun secretly controls it, how long can this situation last?

When Zhang Jingyun is gone, where will Daming go? If Chongzhen is counting on it, Daming's good situation may be ruined by him again.

After much thought, there is only one solution!

Let his son become the heir of Ming Dynasty. After Zhang Jingyun leaves, Chongzhen will come to an end, and Ming Dynasty will be succeeded by his son.

Zhang Jingyun said: "Queen Zhou is about to give birth. I took her pulse and found out that she is a boy, less than half a month older than me.

Don't worry, I will also take good care of your son. When my son succeeds to the throne, I will make your son the King of Song Dynasty, ensuring prosperity and wealth for generations to come. "

Chongzhen's face flashed.

For the first time, he was conflicted by Zhang Jingyun's words, and the conflict was still very strong. His son should be the eldest son, the prince! it turns out…

"No, sir, I have done a good job as emperor and the world is prosperous. The Ming Dynasty will definitely be restored in my hands in the future. You can't take it away!"

Chongzhen's face twisted, he scratched his head and said, Zhang Jingyun frowned slightly, Chongzhen was actually violently resisting his own will.

"Are you disobeying me?"

Zhang Jingyun's tone was stern, his face darkened, and invisible power acted on Chongzhen. The next second, he saw Chongzhen kneeling on the ground.

"Sir, please believe that I can do a good job. I have worked hard to get Ming Dynasty. I can be your dog, but you cannot take Ming Dynasty away!"

Chongzhen said with a loud voice.

Zhang Jingyun frowned, what a strong thought, Chongzhen's reaction to Daming was too violent, this was the obsession in his heart.

With a thought in his heart, Zhang Jingyun roughly understood that the Emperor Chongzhen of this world was very different from the Chongzhen of history.

He would take the initiative to plot the murder of his brother, Emperor Tianqi, and would tolerate it in front of Wei Zhongxian, even to the point of flattery, just to ascend to the throne.

Zhang Jingyun controlled him. He was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so there was not much resistance. Zhang Jingyun asked him to give up the Ming Dynasty for the sake of his son, and he finally broke out.

What should be done in this situation?

Zhang Jingyun knew that there was only one way to solve it, which was to strengthen the imprint of the taming technique, defeat Chongzhen's will, and make him completely surrender to Zhang Jingyun.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyun flashed.

He was extremely fast, and at an unimaginable speed, he flashed in front of Chongzhen and lightly stamped his palm on Chongzhen's heart.

boom!

Chongzhen collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Jingyun said calmly, "Teach the Imperial Physician!"

Under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian, a large group of imperial doctors rushed into the Qianqing Palace to diagnose and treat Chongzhen. After a while, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"This...does your Majesty have any hidden wounds?"

An imperial physician asked hesitantly.

Zhang Jingyun said: "In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, when Your Majesty was still King Xin, he was assassinated by an assassin and his heart was damaged. Fortunately, he was successfully cured by the wonderful medicine."

The imperial doctor nodded and said: "His Majesty's heart was damaged, but this time it's not a serious problem. He will be able to recover after ten days and a half of training. However, the previous hidden injuries were fatal and may affect His Majesty's lifespan..."

"Your Majesty, is it possible that he will not survive..."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up and he said.

The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "This is not a problem. If your majesty can take good care of your body and combine work and rest, there will be no big problem. I'm afraid your majesty will spare no effort..."

The words of the imperial doctor made it very clear. Chongzhen had been lamenting day and night since he came to the throne. He had to watch nearly two hundred kilograms of work every day, and he could be called a workaholic.

If this continues, it will definitely hurt your body.

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was a little disappointed. He thought Chongzhen had only a few years to live, but he didn't expect it to be a false alarm.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Zhang Jingyun further tamed the sleeping Chongzhen, using the taming technique once a day for five consecutive days until Chongzhen woke up completely.

"Sir, I don't know why, but my head is a little messed up. I don't think your previous suggestion is a big deal. Your son is my son. Thank you for your gift!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Jingyun is very satisfied with Chongzhen's attitude!

In late July, the queen gave birth to a son.

Zhang Jingyun named him Zhu Cishui.

Due to the mental and physical exhaustion from childbirth, the queen was extremely weak. The queen Zhang Jingyun personally nursed her body back to health, and it took more than two months for her to slowly regain her energy.

Empress Zhou also saw her son for the first time. She had no doubt that he was there, and she cared deeply about him. In August of the first year of Chongzhen, the emperor named his eldest son the prince.

Queen Zhou's milk production was not good, so the emperor chose a wet nurse to feed the prince. This wet nurse was Beizhai who Zhang Jingyun arranged to come in to nurse his own son.

"Ah! You are so brave! This is a dragon bed!" It was night, and Beizhai was hugged by Zhang Jingyun on the dragon bed, laughing until he was ugly...

Add a little more attribute points.

Zhang Jingyun has been practicing with Beizhai for more than a year. Excluding the period of pregnancy and childbirth, his attribute points have not been increased much.

It was Zhou Miaotong.

Because Jiaofangsi fed him a certain secret medicine when he was young, the probability of giving birth to a child was very low, but it gave Zhang Jingyun a large number of attribute points.

However, Zhou Miaotong was happy that her sister was pregnant, but sometimes she felt sad that she could not give birth to an heir for Zhang Jingyun. For a while, she became sick with worry.

Zhang Jingyun couldn't bear it.

"Miaotong, do you really want a child?"

Zhang Jingyun asked her.

Zhou Miaotong said: "My husband does not think that I am a fallen flower and willow. It is already a grace. If I cannot give birth to an heir for my husband, I have failed my husband's love."

Zhang Jingyun said thoughtfully based on her situation: "Even if I personally take care of your body, take medicine every day for a year, and endure the pain of medicine, the chance of pregnancy is only one in a thousand."

Zhou Miaotong felt like he was struck by lightning.

"It's me... I'm sorry, husband..."

Zhang Jingyun held her hand and said, "If you have this intention, your husband will definitely help you. Although the probability is low, I guarantee that you will get what you want."

A year later, Hokusai had just given birth to his son.

Miao Tong actually got pregnant as she wished.

Even Hokusai was sincerely happy for his sister, "Husband, how on earth did you do it? How do you say that you can get pregnant by making someone pregnant?"

Hokusai couldn't help but ask Zhang Jingyun.

Is it because of the talent for precise hits?

After Zhang Jingyun thought about it, he immediately shook his head, "The probability is less than one in a thousand, so we can only increase the number to more than a thousand times. Madam should ask Miaotong for the details."

Hokusai suddenly realized, and then his eyes widened, "It's so scary, sometimes we all wonder if you are made of iron."

After Hokusai finished speaking, his face was filled with shyness.

As the days passed, she realized more and more that she was tired of coping alone, but it was difficult for her to ask her sister to join...

Zhang Jingyun said: "When Miaotong gives birth to a child, let her come to the palace. If it is a daughter, let her be a princess."

"It all depends on the husband."

…………

Zhang Jingyun was leisurely and contented in the palace.

The world outside the palace is still turbulent.

All the officials in the imperial court were trembling with fear because of Wei Zhongxian's pursuit of the deficit, and they did not dare to cause trouble. After nearly half a year of recovery, the deficit of the Ministry of Household Affairs was significantly reduced.

Corrupt officials were investigated and punished, and more than two million taels of property were confiscated. The Ministry of Household Affairs, which was stretched due to years of war, felt rich for the first time.

But the good times didn't last long, and natural disasters struck.

Shaanxi and Hebei suffered severe drought and nationwide famine, with Shaanxi the worst among them. Although the imperial court had actively promoted crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, the disaster had only been alleviated to a certain extent.

September of the first year of Chongzhen.

The Wang Er uprising broke out in Chengcheng. They killed the county magistrate and gathered in the mountains and forests, which kicked off the peasant uprising war in the late Ming Dynasty.

Desperate farmers from all over the country joined forces with deserters from border towns and dismissed postmen to rise up. These insurrectionists fought independently and were highly mobile, so they were called "roving bandits."

Rogue bandits were making trouble everywhere, among which one group was the most powerful and caused the most noise. The leader was Gao Yingxiang, known as the King of Chuang.

There is not only one Li Zicheng as King Chuang.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was the first generation of Chuang King in the late Ming Dynasty. Later Chuang King Li Zicheng and even Daxi King Zhang Xianzhong were still young generals under Gao Yingxiang.

The peasant army led by Gao Yingxiang rose up and made a lot of noise in Shaanxi. In addition, Hou Jin from outside the customs took the opportunity to harass and involve the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally and had no time to take care of itself.

This is the brilliance of Hou Jin.

The Hou Jin Dynasty was the future Qing Dynasty. At this time, Huang Taiji was still the leader in attacking the Ming Dynasty. They found that there were uprisings in the Ming Dynasty. They keenly seized the opportunity. They did not attack or retreat. They just pulled you and tried to make the Ming Dynasty If you don't attack, you will destroy yourself.

"Sir, I am going to restart Yuan Chonghuan's fight against the Qing Dynasty. What do you think?" In the Palace of Qianqing, Chongzhen asked Zhang Jingyun for advice on this day.

"Yuan Chonghuan..."

Zhang Jingyun hesitated for a while.

Just because Yuan Chonghuan is really controversial, let's say he can fight. He does have many achievements. Yuan Chonghuan was a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. He later became the governor of Ji and Liao, and also the military affairs of Deng, Lai and Tianjin. , defeated Hou Jin many times.

Especially the great victory of Ningyuan and the great victory of Ningjin.

It also injects confidence into the Ming Dynasty, which is about to collapse. It has never been deeper than in the past seven or eight years.

But Yuan Chonghuan has many problems.

For example, he boasted that he planned to regain Liaodong in five years, which suddenly won Chongzhen's love and he admired Yuan Chonghuan very much.

As long as Zhang Jingyun nods.

Chongzhen will immediately give Yuan Chonghuan Shangfang Sword. Let him supervise the battle in Liaodong, but others don't know it. Doesn't Zhang Jingyun know Yuan Chonghuan?

Dare you say that it will be Ping Liao in five years?

If it weren't for Ming Dynasty, no one would be able to use it.

Zhang Jingyun refused to let him go wherever he came from.

In addition to bragging, Mao Wenlong was killed, which made the Ming army besieged on both sides of Liaodong, and the good war situation turned into a mess.

In fact, Mao Wenlong really deserves to be killed. Zhang Jingyun knows this history. Some people say that although Mao Wenlong is guilty, he is the least likely to cause death, but this is not the case.

We must know that Mao Wenlong has been operating in Dongjiang Town for many years, turning this place into his own kingdom, and resisting the imperial court's intervention in management many times. What is his intention?

Mao Wenlong asked the court for a large amount of military pay every year. The court wanted to send civilian officials to Dongjiang Town to manage the military pay because of excessive expenditure, but Mao Wenlong refused.

The imperial court wanted to set up a censor, but Mao Wenlong rejected it.

Mao Wenlong also killed refugees to take credit for his crimes and robbed merchant ships. He committed serious crimes and could die ten times without injustice.

At this critical moment of war, who dares to keep such an unstable factor around? So Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao Wenlong and listed him with twelve felonies.

Mao Wenlong deserved to die, and Yuan Chonghuan also made a big mistake. He didn't even tell the court, but killed a high-ranking official without permission, which was a typical act of seeking death.

Yuan Chonghuan does have Shangfang Sword.

But Shang Fang's sword can only kill officials below the fifth rank. Marshal Yuan Chonghuan like Mao Wenlong was killed with one sword. What is it if he is not seeking death?

Zhang Jingyun immediately said: "Yuan Chonghuan should be used with caution. This person lacks stability. Now that the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, we should not forge ahead with determination. We should move forward safely.

Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou can be put in charge of Liaodong. Sun Chengzong is cautious. I don't expect him to suppress Huang Taiji outside the pass. I only ask him to stabilize the border. "

Chongzhen was quite puzzled: "Why are you so cautious? The Ming Dynasty is not that serious, right? Yuan Chonghuan's five-year Pingliao plan is actually good in my opinion."

Zhang Jingyun: "..."

Ma De, the Ming Dynasty fell, and Chongzhen did have it. It was he who pushed Yuan Chonghuan to the altar step by step. He also said that I was not the king of the country's subjugation. He blamed the country's subjugation on the ministers who misunderstood me... but he can pull him down.

"No need to say more, just follow my words." Zhang Jingyun directly rejected Yuan Chonghuan, whom Chongzhen was obsessed with.

Chongzhen sighed: "Then I'll listen to you, sir. But Hong Chengchou is in Shaanxi. Recently, there has been an uprising in Shaanxi by bandits such as King Chuang. Why not let him suppress it?"

"Shaanxi, let Sun Chuanting go!"

Zhang Jingyun paused and then said: "As for Henan, natural disasters have occurred frequently this year and bandits have caused chaos, so we must be careful to keep an eye on it."

"Yes, do you have any other instructions, sir?"

Zhang Jingyun thought for a while and said, "I heard recently that there is a very powerful man named Lu Xiangsheng. He used a trick to capture the giant thief Ma Pianpian in Daming Mansion?"

Chongzhen thought for a while: "There is indeed such a person."

"Where did his soldiers come from?"

Chongzhen said: "Lu Xiangsheng naturally has no military power. He just recruits strong men and trains local braves. Unexpectedly, he caused quite a stir."

"Well, the local brave and strong men are so good at fighting. This man has the talent to lead an army. Give him tens of thousands of taels of silver to form a new army and see what he is capable of."

"Yes, sir."

Chongzhen nodded and left.

Looking at the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jingyun has only one policy after thinking about it, that is, to deal with the outside world, he must first settle the inside.

If the Ming Dynasty cannot be unified, internal and external troubles will leave opportunities for the Qing Dynasty to take advantage.

Moreover, it has been too difficult for Ming Dynasty in recent years.

It is not suitable for foreign wars at all.

How difficult is it at the end of Ming Dynasty? Anyone who knows history knows that during the Little Ice Age, from the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the earth's temperature dropped significantly, causing a significant reduction in global food production and a sharp decline in population.

In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought and famine spread throughout the country.

And it will intensify year by year in the future, and the area of ​​famine will become larger and larger. Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Zhejiang and other places have suffered from disasters one after another.

Sweet potatoes were originally meant to be eaten in large quantities, but now they can't keep up with the pace of famine and production reduction. The Qing Dynasty is much better than the Ming Dynasty.

It's also time and destiny. After the Qing Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, the Little Ice Age ended. The demise of the Ming Dynasty cannot be attributed to Chongzhen. It was really bad luck.

In November of the first year of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen came to report to Zhang Jingyun happily that Sun Chuanting had been governor of Shaanxi for less than three months, and together with Chen Qiyu, he defeated Gao Yingxiang's peasant army who claimed to be King Chuang.

"Your Excellency, you are really wise and discerning. This Sun Chuanting is really powerful. He has been idle at home for three years and has been blessed with good news as soon as he comes out of the mountain.

The king of Chuang, Gao Yingxiang, was so blown away that he could not last more than three months in his hands. He was even captured alive by Sun Chuanting and was about to be escorted to the capital for questioning. "

He didn't care much about Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Jingyun. Historically, he was captured by Sun Chuanting and wiped out fifteen groups of rebels. Li Zicheng was only left with eighteen riders and fled into the mountains without a trace.

And that time was the eighth year of Chongzhen.

Now, Sun Chuanting went out to fight eight years earlier. I think the Ming Dynasty will not die from Chuanting this time. The Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to survive the difficulties and destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Jingyun suddenly looked strange.

He seems to be at odds with Da Qing!

In the first two worlds, they killed Pu Yi and the Queen Mother of the West, especially the assassination of the Queen Mother of the West, which caused the death of the Qing Dynasty many years in advance. Now they are trying to strangle the Qing Dynasty in the cradle.

Late November.

Wei Zhongxian, who had made up for the deficit in the household department, returned with a full load. He went to Jiangnan, where it was most difficult to collect taxes, and used iron-blooded methods to kill the people in Jiangnan, bringing back six million taels of silver for the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum! Leave the matters in the palace to Zhao Jingzhong. If I continue to do this, I'm afraid I will die without a complete body!"

Wei Zhongxian burst into tears.

This trip to Jiangnan was on the one hand to make up for the deficit in the household department and to raise military pay in advance for the coming year's military operations. The other was to promote the return of fire consumption to the public and the integration of officials and gentry into paying grain.

The latter's two-day measures almost completely offended the officials, gentry, and landlords. During his two months in Jiangnan, Wei Zhongxian was assassinated almost every day.

At its peak, he was assassinated nineteen times a day.

For example, several famous eagle dogs under Wei Zhongxian were killed by gangsters in defensive assassinations. They were obviously castrations despised by everyone, but they shed their last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty.

"Manufacturer, you are too worried. You are always in your prime. Now everyone in the Ming Dynasty cannot do without you. Going to Fengyang to guard Taizu's mausoleum would be an insult to your talents."

"Your Majesty? You don't have anything else for me to do, do you?" Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

But Chongzhen shook his head: "What did the factory master say? You have been working hard on the journey, so you should go back and rest for a few days."

"Your Majesty, is that slave gone?"

Wei Zhongxian said uncertainly.

Chongzhen nodded and Wei Zhongxian quickly retreated. After he left, Chongzhen came to Zhang Jingyun and said in admiration: "My lord has a long-term vision. I didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to be so useful. I almost killed a talented person by mistake."

Only those who have experienced it know how difficult reform is. Wei Zhongxian's evil reputation has accelerated the process of reform a lot.

Chongzhen originally wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian as soon as he came to power in order to clear up the government, but now it seems that his vision is still too short-sighted.

"Wei Zhongxian should be reused!"

There was a touch of sarcasm on Zhang Jingyun's lips, and he said: "On the contrary, Wei Zhongxian should be killed. His usefulness has been fully utilized. It is time to kill Wei Zhongxian to make everyone in the world shut up."

Chongzhen's eyes widened. Wei Zhongxian had just come back with six million taels of silver. Zhang Jingyun turned around and wanted to kill him?

"I don't need to do it myself to kill him. Didn't Wei Zhongxian say that? He is going to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. Let him have his way in a few days."

Zhang Jingyun said to Chongzhen.

Seven days later, Wei Zhongxian finally achieved what he wanted. Unfortunately, on the way to Fengyang, he was executed by Lu Jianxing, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, and Jin Yichuan, the general bannerman, on the orders of the new factory official Zhao Jingzhong.

Afterwards, Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and others discovered that Zhao Jingzhong was actually pretending to pass on the Holy Will, and the emperor never explicitly stated that he wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian.

When Zhao Jingzhong saw that the matter was exposed, he wanted to kill people and silence them. He used Dongchang's plan to slander Yan Peiwei, the censor, and ordered Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan to arrest them.

Yan Peiwei was the son-in-law of the head of the Golden Knife Sect. Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan came to arrest him. Zhao Jingzhong secretly shot Yan Peiwei, causing dozens of Jin Knife Sect members to join forces to kill the two men on the spot.

Fortunately, their sworn brother Shen Lian arrived in time, and the three of them worked together to slaughter all the Golden Knife Sect, leaving only Yan Peiwei's son with a broken arm to survive.

Because of Shen Lian's intervention.

Zhao Jingzhong's plan was completely exposed.

Zhao Jingzhong refused to give up and wanted to pay to kill Jin Yichuan. He happened to hear that the emperor had a guard named Ding Xiu who regarded wealth as his life.

He had seen this man running around carrying ten thousand taels of silver, so he prepared to pay one thousand taels of silver to ask Ding Xiu...that is, Zhang Jingyun, to kill Jin Yichuan.

"Sir, you have really found the right person!"

Zhang Jingyun weighed the five hundred taels of silver deposit, "You may not know, but Jin Yichuan is my biological junior brother, my dearest relative and friend, and my brother and sister!"

Zhao Jingzhong was quite surprised, but then he thought: "A person like you shouldn't care about this, right? Do I need to pay more?"

Zhang Jingyun shook his head: "No need this time, you are too far behind Wei Zhongxian, how come you still want to compete with him? Although Wei Zhongxian has a right to die, he did not betray the Ming Dynasty and pay for it!"

Zhao Jingzhong's expression changed drastically.

"What are you talking about? I didn't!"

The corner of Zhang Jingyun's mouth curled up and he said, "You said you didn't, but secretly you even named the golden man. How about comparing it to Zhao Jingzhong?"
