Chapter 158: When Manpower is Limited
It is better to relax at home.
Of course, the same is true for Guanzhong.
There are already too many sufferings outside. If Guanzhong can't make people live more relaxed and contentedly, the world will be too bad.
Sometimes it is a kind of happiness to cover your ears and just look at the small world under your feet.
People can do this, but Yun Zhao cannot. The position he does determines that he must pay attention to the outside world at all times.
Everything is going according to the original pattern, and it has not changed after he did so many things.
Li Hongji began to besiege Kaifeng City after the epidemic had just eased. Zhang Bingzhong also coveted the other side of the lake and kept trying to march towards Changsha.
There seemed to be no news from the capital. Yun Zhao believed that the news was a military action. As for the killing of ministers and the replacement of chief ministers, things like that were still going on.
The year before last, the chief assistant Fan Fuchu was sentenced to death for corruption. Last year, the chief assistant Zhang Sizhi was demoted to Jinan. This year, Zhou Yanru became the chief assistant again.
Many people get promoted inexplicably, many people lose their posts inexplicably, and many people die without knowing anything.
Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards in name only in the Ming Dynasty, made it clear in his secret report to Yun Zhao.
In Yun Zhao's view, some people should not be killed - such as Liu Xian, such as Sun Yuanhua, such as Xiong Wencan, such as Yang Yipeng. In Yun Zhao's eyes, these people are the only remaining ones under the emperor. A few more people who can do something.
As for Zhou Yanru, who had just served as the chief minister of the cabinet, Yun Zhao wanted to suggest to Emperor Chongzhen that it would be better to kill this person early and abandon him.
However, if he wrote a memorial based on this caliber, it is estimated that the emperor would only trust Zhou Yanru even more... There is no way around it.
Luo Yangxing has no loyalty at all. This man, Emperor Chongzhen, can also be killed. Even though this guy had surrendered to Yun Zhao a long time ago, Yun Zhao still insisted on his surrender. A strict blockade was imposed.
Among the entire Lantian County leaders, there are only seven people who know that Luo Yangxing has defected to Lantian County.
Luo Yangxing was very grateful for this. What he didn't know was that the reason why Yun Zhao strictly kept the secret was not for his own safety. He just wanted to avoid causing any trouble when he killed this person in the future.
In fact, Yun Zhao had no intention of staying among the people who were bribed by Yun Zhao.
He does like to bribe enemies, but he has his own opinions on using this kind of person... Yun Zhao.
When Yun Zhao read the secret report, Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying were not talking. One was teaching the two children to write, and the other was leaning on the brocade couch and reading.
After Yun Zhao read these secret reports, Qian Duoduo got up and packed up the secret reports, threw the papers into the brazier outside the porch and burned them. After they were burned to ashes,Pour on another basin of water.
When doing these things, Qian Duoduo never takes the hands of outsiders.
"The news you received today is not good?"
Seeing her husband's gloomy face, Qian Duoduo poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand and asked in a low voice.
"The emperor wanted to negotiate peace with the Jianzhou people, so he sent a secret envoy to give Chen Xinjia the peace terms of the Jianzhou people and let him see if it was feasible. As a result, after Chen Xinjia read it, He put the secret document on the desk and left.
His book boy thought it was a newspaper, so he sent the document to the Minister of War as an ordinary newspaper, and then... Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor wanted to negotiate peace with the people of Jianzhou.
The emperor was furious and had Chen Xinjia imprisoned.
You said, this Chen Xinjia is deliberately trying to undermine the emperor. Or are you deliberately trying to discredit the emperor?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I don't know what is going on with this Chen Xinjia, but if you suddenly send an emissary to give Xu Wu a secret report, Xu Wu will It is absolutely impossible for a third person to know the contents of the secret report.
The same is true for another important official in Lantian County. Therefore, Chen Xinjia must have done it on purpose. "< /p>
Yun Zhao smiled and touched Qian Duoduo's cheek and said, "Emperor Chongzhen thought the same way. My wife is so smart, so let me guess again, why did Chen Xinjia do this?"
< p>Qian Duoduo leaned into Yun Zhao's arms and said, "It's hard to guess. Chen Xinjia wants to protect his reputation from damage, and also wants to increase his popularity by harming the emperor's reputation."< p>"What does this mean?""The emperor is no longer the emperor, and the ministers are no longer ministers."
Yun Zhao stood up, put Qian Duoduo on the chair and sighed Said: "The emperor can only show his authority by killing people constantly at this time. This Chen Xinjia is dead..."
Qian Duoduo curled his lips and said: "The person who died is not one of ours. Love death." If you don't die, the more you die, the better it is for a man."
"This is the truth, but this is a lesson learned from the past. We must remember not to make the same mistake again."
Now. Feng Ying, who taught two children, raised her head and said: "My husband is paying more attention to mental recuperation now."
Yun Zhao pointed to the position of his heart and said: "If you want to stand at the top, you must have a big heart. , if I were in the position of Emperor Chongzhen, I would have been pissed to death. It is very difficult for him to be alive now.
Feng Ying, I will give another gift to the emperor in the name of my mother tomorrow. Go get the medicinal materials, he needs these very much now."
"The emperor is a poor man!"
Yun Xian's milky voice came from over there.
Yun Zhao came to his son and knelt down with a smile: "Did your mother teach you?" With just one mouthful of food, the emperor would have starved to death."
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Zhang and said.: "You think so too?"
Yun Zhang said with disdain: "Mother said that the emperor is a coward."
Yun Zhao rolled his eyes at his two wives and sighed. He said in a tone: "Ignorance!"
Yun Zhao's feelings for Emperor Chongzhen are somewhat unclear.
He knew that Chongzhen was a very hard-working person. He was trying very hard to save the country left by his ancestors. If he was just the head of a small family, if he worked so hard, he would be able to save the country left by his ancestors. If our family is supported, we may be able to embark on a prosperous road.
However, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the master of the world. In this position, it does not mean that you can work hard. Sometimes, the harder you work, the worse the situation will be.
He needs a pair of discerning eyes... to see clearly the true face of these monsters and monsters in front of him.
Such a discerning eye exists.
So, he believed in Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and criticized the use of Hong Chengchou.
If he were Emperor Chongzhen, he would make Hong Chengchou the chief minister of the cabinet, send Sun Chuanting to Liaodong to deal with the Jiannu, and give Lu Xiangsheng enough manpower and material resources to fight rebellions all over the world.
It doesn’t take much time, and if you give them ten years of trust, no matter how bad the situation in Ming Dynasty is, it will not be as bad as it is now.
Of course, the above words were all said by Yun Zhao when he was standing and talking without pain in his back.
So, he had a good sleep tonight.
Guanzhong in May is lush and green.
The room was getting hot and stuffy, so Yun Zhao liked to work under the persimmon tree in the yard while shaking the cattail leaf fan.
Han Lingshan didn’t want to sit in the room and work the most, so he took an inspection mission and went to Ningxia Town.
Duan Guoren was dressed in white as snow, and his handsome face had no expression at all, which made others afraid to approach him.
As for Haechi, wearing the Tsing Yi attire of a representative official of Lantian County and a black hat, he sat in his own place and worked quietly, not caring about the heat at all.
Therefore, the clerks in the secretarial department all like to work around Yunzhao.
There was only a window between the offices of Yun Zhao and Hae Zhi. Yun Zhao felt energetic after taking a nap under the tree for a while, so he said to Hae Zhi: "You put those three spoiled You sent them to Mianchi, aren't you afraid that they will die?"
Xie Zhi said calmly: "The epidemic in Mianchi has passed. It's a good thing to go there now to deal with the aftermath and let them see the suffering of the people. , if the three of them cannot sink, their lives will be very miserable in the future.
My lord, although the officials of Mianchi County did not implement your isolation order well, they are doing it for you after all. The country is for the people, and the three who died should be rewarded instead of being reprimanded."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "We can't just run things with passion, as this can easily lead to mischief. , we have to pay attention to methods, these people all come fromYushan Academy.
We clearly know what the epidemic is, and we also know that it is something that cannot be resisted by humans. At this time, methods are more important than feelings.
We have stipulated that all the bodies of the dead must be burned, including the houses where they lived and the utensils they used, all must be destroyed.
For this reason, we also sent him enough kerosene.
Who allowed them to venture into a village where everyone was dead?
Who allowed them to collect those dead people?
If they think this can win the hearts and minds of Guanzhong, then we don’t need this kind of hearts and minds. "
Duan Guoren, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Zhang Chun, who voluntarily led a group of infected people into the mountains to isolate himself, do you also want to reprimand him? "
Yun Zhao closed his eyes in pain.
Zhang Chun, the chief of Mianchi County, volunteered to take four people with him when the epidemic was at its worst and when there was no way to ask for help. One hundred and eighty-seven sick people walked into the mountain, and died in exchange for the health of other people.
Just when everyone thought that all of them should have died in the deep valley of the mountain. At that time, twenty days ago, he actually walked out of Xiaoshan with 163 people.
Although he was much leaner, he was still alive after all, but he was still young and had bad hair. It's already half white.
What he did seemed to be right. In fact, it was because of his actions that his subordinates, the commanders, followed his actions. Those people who were infected did not abandon or give up.
As a result, the three Li Changs who made the same choice did not come back alive. The patients who went into the mountain were extremely frightened because they died. , escaped from Xiaoshan and brought the epidemic to more places.
When Duan Guoren talked about this person, he only used the word "reprimand" to illustrate Duan Guoren's attitude.
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "Zhang Chun, what should I say to you..."
