Forbidden City, Taihe Gate.

The eleven-year-old Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was wearing a bright yellow arrow coat at this time, pressing the hilt of his sword, strolling on the white marble platform in front of the Taihe Gate Gatehouse.

Taihemen is the original Huangji Gate, which is the place where Emperor Yumen of the Ming Dynasty listens to the government. Four years ago, the idol of the little emperor of Shunzhi, Zhu Cihong, the first filial son in the world, was here with a sword in his hand, chasing Chongzhen faint king, and taking over the burden of the Ming Dynasty from his father Chongzhen at the time of crisis...... What a hero!

When Emperor Shunzhi thought of Zhu Cihong's heroic appearance at that time, he couldn't help but sigh! When will he be able to be like Zhu Cihong, holding a sharp blade and hunting down the emperor Amadorgon who bullied him and Eniang?

Although Dolgon was a sick man, he was more careful than Emperor Chongzhen, never entering and leaving the Forbidden City alone, and always had to bring a group of Baya soldiers with white flags. These have been in the army for a long time, and the little emperor is afraid that he can't beat them!

If you can't beat it, of course you'll have to find a helper! But inside and outside the palace, how many people can still be trusted today?

The little emperor of Shunzhi also talked to his mother this morning about the principle that the loyal minister is not the second master, and the filial son is not the second father, and as a result, he was scolded and punished for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" three times, and the copy was so sour that he finished copying it so-so, and when he sent it to Bumu Butai to see, the little emperor remembered that his mother didn't recognize the Chinese characters at all...... It's stupid!

After handing in the "homework", the little emperor carried the sword, and called the penultimate Baturusoni of the Qing Dynasty to go to Taihe Gate to practice swordsmanship.

Sony has now been put back, Suo Zhongtang is gone, demoted to a first-class guard, a third-class martial artist, and the task is to follow the little emperor to be a follower.

For Sony, the little emperor still trusts him very much! That's the loyal servants left behind by his own father and brother!

Originally, there was also the first Batulu Aobai in Manchuria, but now it seems that he has also taken refuge in Dorgon...... So the little emperor can only believe it now, and there are only a few people such as Sonny and his henchman eunuch Wu Liangfu.

Therefore, as soon as he had the opportunity, he left a large group of eunuchs and palace maids around him and lived alone with these loyal slaves. Today is no exception, now here at the Huangji Gate, there are only Shunzhi and Sony.

The little emperor glanced at Sony, remembering that he was put back by Zhu Cihong, and had met Zhu Cihong, so he asked, "Sony!" Do you say that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was a hero? How does it compare to my Emperor Ama? ”

"Of course the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is a hero, compared to ......" Sonny paused when he said this, "Your Majesty, which emperor Ama are you talking about?" ”

"You ......" The little emperor almost didn't get angry, but after thinking about it, he blamed himself for not making it clear.

Who made him Amado?

"Of course it's the first emperor!"

"Oh," Sonny said, "it's worse than the Emperor." ”

Sony thought as he spoke: How did the first emperor recruit An Hong Chengchou? His skills are much better than Hong Chengchou's, but this Zhu Cihong has never thought of soliciting at all.

That alone is far from it!

"Where's Bidolgon?" Shunzhi asked.

"Between the best," said Sony, "the Emperor Ama is good at using his soldiers, and can win with force. And the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was good at scheming and could win with outwitting. ”

"Then what if ......," Shunzhi asked, "if Zhu Cihong is in my position, how will he deal with Dorgon?" ”

What the? Sony was shocked by Shunzhi's words, and the little emperor was only eleven years old...... Is there such a talent?

"Emperor, Emperor," Sonny looked left and right, and found that there were no idle people, so he lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, if Zhu Cihong is in your seat, he will do two things." One is patience, Dolgon is not so easy to deal with, and his body is not good, and he does not seem to be a long-lived man......

The second is to accumulate strength! Dorgon is alive, and His Majesty has nothing to worry about and nothing to do...... He's going to die, and that's the time for His Majesty to use the thunderous tricks! So Your Majesty must be prepared! ”

In the end, Sony is a rare cultural person among the founding heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and he knows the past and can learn from the present...... The situation of the Great Qing Kingdom now is a bit like the Western Wei Dynasty in history. Of course, it's not exactly the same, because Shunzhi is not without a little strength, Shunzhi has the two yellow flags handed down by Huang Taiji, he is a weak master, and he is also a young master.

But he is not a puppet that Dorgon can "eliminate" at will, and he is also an important force in maintaining the balance of power within the Qing Dynasty.

Similarly, Dolgon was also an important force in maintaining the balance of power within the Qing Dynasty, equivalent to Yuwentai in the Western Wei Dynasty.

If both Dolgon and Shunzhi existed, then the Qing Dynasty would be able to maintain a delicate balance between strong ministers and weak lords.

If one of Dolgon and Shunzhi disappears, then ...... The bloody storm is coming!

If Shunzhi doesn't want to have another emperor for himself, he will take the opportunity to seize power.

If Duoduo or Azig want to replace Dorgon as Shunzhi's new Amma, then they have to hurry up!

"How am I going to gather strength?" Shunzhi didn't think so thoroughly, but he also knew that he had something to rely on at hand.

"Let the slave think about it," Sonny thought for a while, "The emperor can do this, you can select a group of weak young men who are good at reading and learning characters from the two yellow flags to enter the palace to accompany you to study......"

......

"Emperor, Emperor, take a break......"

At the same time, in the back garden of Tangquan Palace outside Nanjing, the great eunuch Pang Tianshou did not know when he arrived in the back garden of Emperor Chongzhen's martial arts.

Chongzhen's body is strong, since he was a child, he has cultivated both civil and military, and when he was young, he could open a hard bow, resist a fierce horse, and be extraordinary.

But later, because the government affairs were too busy, he neglected martial arts, and when he was in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, because of too much pressure, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and his body became very weak, which allowed the rebel son to succeed.

So after arriving in Jiangnan, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in power, began to pick up martial arts again, and every day in addition to prostitution, he was boiling up his strength. After three or four years, his body has returned to a subversive state.

If you want to have a battle between men and sons with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you can definitely beat Dolgon all over the ground to find teeth.

But now he has an empty body of martial arts, but there is no place to play at all.

Because Emperor Chongzhen is powerful, and Emperor Hongxing is rich!

And especially rich......

Chen Rui's "annual report" to Zhu Cihong, Emperor Chongzhen also got a copy, and he burst into tears!

The surplus of 6.55 million taels is still the number after "counting what to mention", otherwise it is fifteen or six million taels!

What's even more exaggerated is that there are still 20 million stone rice grains in the account of the Juntun Division that have not been sold......

is even more exaggerated, Zhu Cihong's internal wealth is also very special! Not to mention those assets that cannot be moved, let's just say that the cash that can be used at any time is at least a few million taels.

On the first day of the first lunar month of this year alone, Queen Wu Sanmei presented 300,000 taels of silver to Emperor Chongzhen!

That's too much to loot, isn't it?

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure it out, Zhu Cihong scraped money like this, but there was no official coercion against the people, and there was no lack of livelihood for the people...... Of course, the poor are not better, and there are always those who die of hunger and freeze. But today's imperial court really has the financial resources to distribute a large amount of relief, and the relief rice released in a year (mainly for northerners and refugees) also has tens of millions of stones, which I didn't dare to think about in the past.

If the imperial court had been able to open a warehouse and release grain in this way, the rebellion of the thieves would have been quelled long ago......

So Emperor Chongzhen, who has a body of martial arts, doesn't know what else to do now?

Is it really only possible to have more sons to be angry and rebellious?

Just when Chongzhen was so angry that he almost broke an eight-bucket bow, Pang Tianshou mysteriously walked to Chongzhen's side and broke up a group of envoys.

"Pang Tianshou, what are you doing here?" Chongzhen was a little strange.

"The Emperor," Pang Tianshou shuddered and took out an envelope, handed it to Emperor Chongzhen, and said in an inaudible voice, "The fifth prince has escaped from the thieves and is contacting the heroes of all parties, ready to support your restoration!" ”

"What? What the? Pang Tianshou, what are you talking about? ”
