Chapter 953: Decadent Chongzhen
In fact, Chongzhen knew the news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty a little earlier than the Military Aircraft Department, because the Intelligence Department of the Commercial Bank led by Wang Fang immediately transmitted this big news, and Wang Fang also informed Emperor Chongzhen of the news as soon as possible.
When Chongzhen received the news of this earth-shattering shock, he didn't jump like thunder or panic like usual, just looked at the sky outside the door with numb eyes, and was silent.
Wang Fang clasped his hands and stood there quietly waiting for Chongzhen to speak.
For a long, long time, Chongzhen's gray face asked indifferently without any fluctuations: "Have you handed over this news to the Military Aircraft Department?" It seems that he just asked casually, as if this big crisis has nothing to do with him, but as a nominal emperor, he needs to ask.
Wang Fang also replied expressionlessly: "The Intelligence Department of our Royal Post Courier Company is only responsible for you, Banzai, not for the Military Aircraft Department, this is a matter of principle, and the army naturally has the army's transmission intelligence system, and they already know about it." ”
The intelligence department established by the firm, according to Lu Hanqiang's plan, is to replace the responsibilities of the original Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory, and the difference between the Intelligence Department and the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories is that this agency is essentially a civil society group, abandoning the rights of the original agency that can arbitrarily arrest and interrogate criminals, and the Intelligence Department has collected information. However, it can only be used as supporting evidence, and the conviction is still handed over to the state judicial organs.
Wang Fang, the director of this intelligence department, strictly guards his identity as a royal servant, so his information is only handed over to the current Chongzhen, and only to the incumbent emperor in the future, except for Lu Hanqiang now.
Hearing this, Chongzhen's face twitched for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still the people of my own family who call for it." Then he flipped through the information in his hand lightly, and didn't seem to take it seriously, so he casually threw it aside, and asked thoughtlessly: "Does Lu Banyu know there?" ”
Wang Fang shook his head firmly.
Chongzhen looked at Wang Fang fixedly for a while, and there was no intention of deception in his eyes, so he nodded again: "Is there any news from Lu Ban reading today?" ”
Wang Fang bowed and saluted: "Not for the time being, minister, let's go back and have a look." ”
Chongzhen nodded and didn't say anything. Then looking at Wang Fang's back as he hurriedly walked, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Wang Fang's back with interest, sitting motionless in this dark hall.
Wang Fang, as the head of his own intelligence department, has been giving him all kinds of favors over the years, and there should be no big problem with his loyalty, but is there really no problem? If he doesn't pass on the news to Lu Hanqiang as soon as possible, he doesn't even believe in ghosts, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so it's better to be careful.
Now, under the reversal of the Lu trend and the civil and military disputes, coupled with the repeated blows of Shi Kefa's defeat in Liaodong, Chongzhen's heart is becoming more and more suspicious, in his opinion, all the civil and military officials in the world are unreliable, or weak and incompetent, or yang and yin, and even worse, they are definitely standing in Lu Hanqiang's team and going against themselves.
In this world, there is no one you can trust, including this loyal Wang Fang, by the way, and those of the royal post house that he has always been complacent about and control. Now, aren't there two people who I was optimistic about at the beginning, Zhao Sihai and Jin Hengguang, aren't they firmly standing in Lu Hanqiang's camp?
Now, he has been completely hollowed out by Lu Hanqiang unconsciously, and now, Lu Hanqiang's forces can completely sit in his position overnight.
Stop him, you must stop him, the Ming Dynasty is close to three hundred years, and it must not change the court in his own hands.
But the idea of stopping him is good, but how to stop him? The most important thing is to stop him with what? Even one of the more than 200,000 business house guys he thought was the most loyal had betrayed him, so what could he do to stop him?
Chongzhen fell into deep thought.
Sometimes, Chongzhen really envies his carpenter brother, a really heartless person, who doesn't care about anything in the government, so he doesn't have so many troubles.
Now Chongzhen has become very decadent, since the failure of the last Lu action, Chongzhen suddenly had a feeling of discouragement, Yin Yongfeng, and finally understood that Lu Hanqiang had unknowingly let the entire court completely abandon him and empty him, he was the emperor in name only, except for the respect of the ministers every day, there was almost nothing.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was a strong emperor, how could he be so willing to let go? His brother and his grandfather did not go to court for decades and years, ignored the government and politics, and completely delegated power, because they didn't want to pay attention to it and didn't bother to pay attention to it, and at the same time, they couldn't help but slander in their hearts, and they couldn't take care of it.
Not only does he have a strong heart, but what supports this strong heart is his own ability.
Since he ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, the first thing he did was to take advantage of Lu Hanqiang's resentment for one of his family's dogs, to eliminate the eunuchs, completely rectify the dynasty, and let the imperial power that the Ming Dynasty had lost for a long time return to his hands again.
With the imperial power in hand, he tasted the supreme imperial power for the first time, so he once again stretched the ambition of the Ming Dynasty in his chest, cut the disadvantages and established a new one, and rectified the Ming Mansion that was about to collapse.
Accept Lu Hanqiang's opinion, rectify the post station, send Lu Hanqiang to help Shanxi, in order to deal with Yang He's incompetent bandits, order Lu Hanqiang to pilot, rectify the four provinces in the southwest of Shanxi have been rotten to the top of the guard, and finally Lu Hanqiang took his 40,000 troops out of the rectification, in one fell swoop, the west Liukou was leveled, and then ordered Lu Hanqiang to rectify the border army, as a result, the kid rushed directly into the grassland to find food for the border army, and as a result, the territory of the Ming Dynasty directly reached Mobei, completing the grand wish that Hongwu to the apocalypse has been trying to complete but has not been completed, Then he ordered Lu Hanqiang to lead his troops to chase and destroy Jiannu until-
Wait, Lu Hanqiang, why is there Lu Hanqiang in everything? It seems that everything is impossible without Lu Hanqiang.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen suddenly fell to the ground with the tea bowl he was holding in his hand in annoyance, Lu Hanqiang, everything is Lu Hanqiang, can't I be in charge of the Ming Dynasty alone? Can't I just be in the middle of the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that without you, Lu Hanqiang, I will achieve nothing?
