Chapter 61: Fulong Court
"Get out, get out, get out of here!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at them all silently as they were not afraid of boiling water, and resisted the urge to vomit blood and scolded them angrily.
Tell them to get out quickly.
If he let them stay here and ask them a few more questions, he might become the first emperor to be angry to death by ministers.
At this time, Doctor Zhang also walked in and hurriedly stepped forward to massage several more acupoints for Emperor Chongzhen, and gave him the medicine to calm down and concentrate.
After that, he no longer persuaded him to calm down, and just patted his sleeves and took a break.
Just explain some things, but let the eunuch do the remaining work of persuasion.
As an imperial physician, all must live to the age of 80, not just because he has excellent medical skills and can maintain his care.
The main reason is to know how to observe words and expressions and speak less.
As for Chongzhen, there are certain sedation and sleep aids in the medicine for calming the mind. In addition, before leaving, Doctor Zhang massaged him several relaxing acupoints that were conducive to soothing the nerves.
Therefore, after all the cabinet ministers left, Emperor Chongzhen finally fell asleep slowly under the effects of the medicine.
As for tomorrow's worries and tomorrow's anger and worries, let's talk about it tomorrow.
...
Besides, in the south, the nursery rhymes that Bi He and his other people planned officially began to spread here.
"Liu Shenxiang, to test the fortune of Ming, Wan and Wan and Sun, the Ming king has no hunger, and the descendants are gone now!
Liu Shenxiang, the fortune of Ming, Wan You Zi, Wan You Sun, the King of Ming was born without starvation, and the descendants of the descendants were gone now!
…”
Nursery rhymes have always been one of the best channels to spread various information and want others to know about information.
In addition, unemployed vagrants such as beggars and gangsters are also one of the channels.
Of course, the key is to spread rumors through these people, which is not only safe, but also saves money.
Like those children, you can just give them a candied haws, red date cakes, etc. to buy them.
The price of beggars and gangsters is not much higher. The price is only three or five cents less, and the price is only two cents more.
Therefore, there is an analysis of Liu Bowen's proverbs on the ten thousand sons and grandsons of the time, as well as the related news about the miracle of the Ming Dynasty granting good seeds, which spread throughout the south in a short time.
Especially in the Jiangnan area, it is particularly popular and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although no one dared to discuss this matter openly, they would still talk about it in private parties.
Some of the bold ones even dare to discuss wantonly in the wing room of the teahouse and flower building.
As long as you are careful, you don’t discuss it directly in front of others’ Jinyiwei, no one will care about it.
Because there are too many people discussing this matter, and the law does not blame the masses, but it is a tradition since ancient times.
If everyone is really arrested and punished, maybe the original state of rumors will turn into turmoil, or even directly rebel!
Those officials are not stupid, so how could they do this? At most, just catch one or two more to warn others to serve as a warning and to suppress the situation a little.
In addition, the capital is now surrounded and no one knows the future situation, so the officials in power now do not have much thought to care about the rumors outside.
They were all anxiously waiting for the news coming from the capital, waiting for the news coming from the good and bad.
In addition, not all officials do not believe in nursery rhymes, and some officials will inevitably think that what the nursery rhymes seem to make sense.
Ordinary people may not be very clear about what is happening in the court and the situation across the country, but those officials, whoever pay a little attention to current affairs, can know the degree of chaos in the north now.
In addition to the natural disasters that have occurred over the years, anyone has to mutter in their hearts.
Nowadays, there are such a special analysis of the proverbs and nursery rhymes of Liu Bowen and Liu, which will inevitably bring people a feeling of turmoil and chaos everywhere.
Originally, some aristocratic families in Jiangnan who didn't think there was anything wrong, after the nursery rhyme appeared, began to hold internal meetings to discuss whether to separate the two tribes and follow the Qianlong in order to find an opportunity to support the dragon court.
The so-called following Qianlong and Fulong Court is the main method for the children of aristocratic families to protect their own families and maintain their status in troubled times.
The specific operation is probably to separate several tribes from the main vein. Different tribes follow each other and they each like to follow them and believe that there is potential force to follow them.
Generally speaking, those aristocratic families will bet on multiple fronts, and one of them will always win the bid.
For example, the Zhuge family back then.
Zhuge Liang took a fancy to Liu Bei, so in Shu Han, Zhuge Jin was a strategist in Sun Quan in Wu, and Zhuge Dan was a general in Wei.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only these three major forces were left. Logically speaking, no matter which side is successful, they can continue their family and their status will not be too low.
But the facts proved that they all bet wrongly, and there are still some aristocratic families who want to be emperors themselves.
Of course, this is just an example, but also a relatively failed example. Some other big families are basically betting similarly to the Zhuge family, but those families may not have so many more famous people.
Among the many aristocratic families, since the Han Dynasty, only the Kong family and the Zhang family have been able to stand firm and do not need to participate in the Dragon Futing Court.
Other aristocratic families will participate more or less. Even if some do not participate in it openly, they will also invest secretly in private, such as funding some money and so on.
...
Jinling Xue Family
The head of the Xue family was discussing with more than ten clan elders of the Xue family and six heads of the family who were divided into ancestral homes in the secret room of the ancestral hall.
Now, the discussion is almost done, and the main difficulty lies in helping someone.
"No, head of the family, the person you chose is too bad.
Li Zicheng was only able to take office after the death of the King of Breaking King Gao Yingxiang. It turned out that he was just a small postman, with a bunch of poor people making trouble in Shaanxi. What future could he have?
Some time ago, I was almost surrounded by someone named Lu!”
Xue Rongxun, the head of the family who split the pulse, was very dissatisfied with the candidates chosen by the head of the main pulse, and even despised him.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, except for the Han and Ming dynasties, no emperor of any dynasty was not from aristocratic families.
Before the Han Dynasty, both emperors and kings were from aristocratic blood.
Anyone who is always confused can have something to do with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
After the Han Dynasty and before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, all those who were able to hold a firm position and unify China were from aristocratic families.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that an ordinary civilian again was taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, even though the Xue family is just an ordinary small family with a history of less than three hundred years, they still look down on Li Zicheng, who is a civilian official.
