Chapter 309

Facing Zhao Xing's words, there will be more severe natural disasters in the northwest in the future. Chongzhen thought for a moment, and then nodded in frustration: "In the second year of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi's beloved Qing did make such a prediction. He was impeached by court officials at that time to deceive the public. Now it seems that Xu Aiqing is right. Am I really so unvirtuous?" After saying that, his eyes turned red and he was about to cry.

Zhao Xing was frightened at that time. His cold water was pouring too hard. No matter how cold or hot it was, this little guy should not lie down and collapse. If he collapsed, he would be completely finished.

So he quickly raised the torch: "Long live, you don't have to take all your mistakes on yourself. Natural disasters are natural phenomena and have nothing to do with whether the emperor has virtue or not. Even if the wise and wise Emperor Taizong of Tang, a major earthquake in Guanzhong occurred. Who said that Emperor Taizong of Tang had no virtue?"

Chongzhen was still motionless.

"You are also considered a disciple of a saint, and it is not a saint who is the teachings of ghosts and gods. Besides, you are the emperor. If God blames you for your lack of virtue, just sending a dream to teach you. What does it have to do with innocent people? In addition, your love for the people is obvious to all, and who in the world doesn't know?"

Chongzhen really did this matter. This time, Hong Chengchou took office, and brought Chongzhen's 100,000 taels of silver to provide relief. As for the disaster situation in the entire northwest of the 100,000 taels of disasters, it was a matter of opinion. Zhao Xing didn't want to take care of it, nor could he do it.

Sun Chengzong also found that Chongzhen was mentally inappropriate, so he quickly took over Zhao Xing's topic: "Yes, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters all year round. Do you want to blame? I can only blame the territory left by our ancestors for too large. As far as I know, it takes an hour and a half to dawn from our sunrise in Sakhalin Island in Liaodong to Hami, the westmost part of our country."

After saying this, Chongzhen's mood was replaced by pride, and the depression in the room was much relieved. As for young people, their emotions were changing quickly.

Zhao Xing took advantage of the iron heat and struck: "Ten years of natural disasters are not scary. As long as our king and ministers calm down their minds and work together, they can defeat him. As the saying goes, fighting with the sky is endless and fighting with the earth is endless. As long as we have this kind of optimism, we will be able to fight against the sky is endless and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty under your wise leadership."

If you are encouraged by the heroic slogan of the great man, you can be excited to make you lively and lively, let alone Chongzhen, who has always had the ambition to revive the great Ming Dynasty?

At that time, Chongzhen's face turned from black to red, his eyes faded away, and his light shone again: "Yes, Zhao Aiqing is right. Master Sun once taught me (attendant) that God will give me great responsibilities and must first make his mind and body work. Well, natural disasters, come on, let us monarchs and ministers fight him together to see if our monarchs and ministers fight him or be defeated by him."

Looking at Chongzhen, who was full of fighting spirit again, Zhao Xing really regretted that before traveling through time, why didn’t he memorize the quotes of great men? If that was the case, then he could make everyone get bloody and be willing to give up on himself. In controlling people’s hearts, he was already invincible and was a saint worshipped by others.

"Zhao Aiqing, you said, how to implement it in the northwest to make the Northwest governance. Well, as long as you stabilize it, it will be done."

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was grateful for Zhao Xing's life-saving grace. It was really a life-saving. Yuan Chonghuan's story was there.

Zhao Xing followed Chongzhen's words and quietly pushed this problem to him: "We ministers, as ministers, dare not comment, but if the emperor can issue an order to order the princes from all over the country to collect half of the land rent and reduce the labor service a little, that is the true intention of serving the country and the people."

When he heard Zhao Xing's proposal, Chongzhen, who was already full of fighting spirit, immediately became depressed again and could only answer vaguely: "This, I, let's try it."

OK, just try it. As long as you have this imperial edict, Zhao Xing will dare to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Ask Sun Chuanting again: "Sun Aiqing, do you understand why I promoted you to the Governor of the Three Borders and Xuanda in an extraordinary way, and you are still the Censor of the Salt Survey?"

Sun Chuanting admitted: "I know a little about the military and strongly support Lord Hong's method of reducing rent and interest rates. Continuing to serve as the Yan Yan Censor can raise funds for the soldiers of the border army."

Sun Chengzong said: "The governor of Hexi, Hedong, Shaanxi, Gansui, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, Guyuan and other civil and political leaders, and the ninth generals, are now added to Xuanda, but it is not good to take on civil and military positions on one shoulder. If you add financial power, you will really be suspected of future vassal states." This is not Sun Chengzong's destruction, but it is really a worry, and it is also a fair argument. The governor of the three sides has too much power.

Chongzhen smiled: "With Zhao Xing here, Sun Aiqing cannot become a vassal state."

What this said is to tell Sun Chuanting directly, don’t think that Zhao Xing recommended you to you, you are his person, Zhao Xing is so naughty, if you dare to talk nonsense, he will be able to kill you at that time. What does this mean? Everyone knows it, it’s too cruel to have a gap between the teeth.

Sun Chuanting said frankly: "Master Sun has been worried too much. The lower official has discussed with Lord Hong and Lord Zhao. In fact, my three sides and the governor of Shanxi have overlapped a lot in terms of power."

Sun Chengzong nodded: "This is also for checks and balances. The one who is guarding against Shanxi Governor or the three-sided governor will dominate the family, and the end will not be too big." They are all their own family members, and they will go straight to the point if they have any words. There is no need to turn things around.

Sun Chuanting bowed to Sun Chengzong: "What Master Sun said is reasonable, so Lord Zhao advised me and Lord Hong to pull the superimposed ones apart."

When Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong heard this, they were shocked at that time, Zhao Xing, you want to split up the hard-working thing that each other is hindered. What does it mean?

Sun Chuanting continued: "Since there is no need to superimpose, Lord Hong gave up the management of the army and gave it to me to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits. I hand over the power to govern the local area to Lord Hong. In this way, we will focus on our work and will definitely be much more efficient than to grab the eyebrows and beards. The Yan Yan Censor's Office temporarily entrusted the Jinyiwei Pacific to take charge of the stewards. I am just a reputation. At that time, Lord Hong will not cooperate with me to resettle the bandits who surrendered. I will scold him. If Zhao Xing dares not provide military pay, money and food on time, I will bring it in and grab it."

Hong Chengchou Interview: "If you dare not care about the country, my official will cut off your food and military resources."

Zhao Xing sneered: "You made me dislike you and cut off money directly. I won't starve you to death."

Such a not-so-funny joke has caused a lot of laughter in the room, making everyone seem particularly relaxed.

Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Xing gratefully, because they persuaded the two of them to give up part of their rights, which was sincerely for the court.

But Zhao Xing and the two also understood that the powers in the northwest were superimposed layer by layer, and the governors from various places were added to the governors, and on the governors, a three-sided governor, Xuanda, and on their heads, another Shanxi governor was placed to prevent one side from dominating. Because the customs of the northwest were too tough, the court always made the court uneasy. It was not good that the two people were so entangled in jurisdiction and rights, but it was a disaster in the future. Only by handing over some of the rights can we do things efficiently and at the same time, we can also make the court feel at ease.

Now, the court has always been worried and unable to solve the problem, but it was easy to solve it by inserting a third-party Jinyiwei. The Shanxi Governor managed the local area with peace of mind, so the Shanxi Governor would have no chance of vassal states. Once Hong Chengchou had a strange intention, Sun Chuanting would actually not need Sun Chuanting to destroy him. As long as the court sent a Jinyiwei cavalry, Hong Chengchou, who had no soldiers, could be the head obediently. Hong Chengchou, who was at ease with civil affairs, would not produce or produce less refugees in the local area, which would be cut off the roots of the Northwest bandits. Sun Chuanting was devoted to governing the army and concentrating on encirclement and suppressing the bandits. Then Zhao Xing and Hong Chengchou grabbed Sun Chuanting's neck so that he could not cause trouble. In this way, the three families did their own things and could restrain each other. At the political level, major events in the Northwest were settled.
