In the end, it was unexpected that seven million five hundred and two thousand silver and Qian Zongshu moved their capital to Nanjing, and they jointly tempted a bright future. Half an hour ago, they were resolutely opposed to Emperor Chongzhen. At this moment, they agreed 100% …
Chapter five hundred and sixteen Half-recruited king
After the northern Zhili and Shandong fell into the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Tiger and Leopard Army had mastered the two provinces of Shaanxi and Liaodong, and almost half of the whole dynasty became the territory of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
The only thing that made Emperor Chongzhen awake was that Wei Zheng owned half of the country, and neither population nor wealth was comparable to that of the imperial court, which still occupied several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
What’s more important is that the Tiger and Leopard Army, which occupies several northern provinces, has to constantly face the invasion of the Mongols in the late Jin Dynasty more than the Koreans, but the imperial court has no such worries, but several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River can rest at ease and accumulate strength …
However, even in the face of such a big gap, Emperor Chongzhen still hides a very big worry in his heart …
Will controlling the Wei Zheng of several northern provinces directly stand on one’s own feet rather than claiming to be the emperor, and completely separate from the great court, which will remain intact for hundreds of years?
When Emperor Chongzhen expressed this concern, all ministers, including Qian Zongshu, showed pensive expressions.
After a cup of tea, there is still no one in the quiet hall to finish talking, rather than giving the emperor Chongzhen a positive answer, so that the emperor Chongzhen should not worry and worry …
No one knows what Wei Zheng will do next because of the strong military strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
What’s more, some courtiers have given an affirmative answer in their hearts. After the Tiger and Leopard Army entered Beijing, Li and the status temptation Wei Zheng will definitely claim to be the emperor in the Forbidden City and sit in the position where Emperor Chongzhen is now sitting.
However, before Emperor Chongzhen, they dared not say this conjecture even if they were bold.
When the atmosphere in the hall became more and more dignified again, the cabinet records of Qian Zongshu had to come out and ask the Emperor Chongzhen
"Do you want to?"
"Theory such as Wei Zheng can’t stand on its own feet and split the king and the court. Even if the butch army has occupied half of the dynasty, the butch army still has to admit that the court and I have a dominant position and identity in the whole dynasty …" Although this order is a little self-deceiving, Emperor Chongzhen still said with a firm face.
After that, a pair of eyes stared at Qian Zongshu, hoping that Qian Zongshu could come up with a solution for himself?
Frown Qian Zongshu didn’t disappoint Chongzhen. He just said in the blink of an eye, "I have an idea here … Now that Wei Zheng has held hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied almost half of the big dynasty, if the court continues to call him Governor Shanshan in charge of so many provincial capitals, it will force Wei Zheng to stand on his own feet and break with the court."
"The old minister suggested to continue to give Wei Zheng an official knighthood so that he had no reason to break with the court …"
Emperor Chongzhen’s eyes were bright and thoughtful …
"It’s really a good way to block the population, but I’m worried that this Wei Zheng will not be able to stand the temptation of the Forbidden City and the Dragon Chair after he enters Beijing … I don’t care if I give up Beijing, I won’t allow Wei Zheng to enter the palace and live in the palace, because this palace represents the whole country to a certain extent … I don’t want to see two emperors and two courts in the big country in my lifetime rather than a regime change."
When it comes to the last few words, Emperor Chongzhen almost shouted out as much as he could.
This shows that Emperor Chongzhen has unshakable firm determination on this matter.
Being stared at by Emperor Chongzhen, Qian Zongshu quickly replied, "You are overrated. Don’t forget that this Wei Zheng is not only a big etiquette, but also a big horse. Your brother-in-law and old minister believe that if the court continues to give him an official title, Wei Zheng will not do anything too much for you …"
Qian Zongshu woke up Emperor Chongzhen Ma and thought that he hadn’t joined Princess Le ‘an and Queen Yi ‘an for a long time.
Especially after Queen Yi ‘an appeared in her mind, the worries in Chongzhen’s heart dissipated directly. Because Emperor Chongzhen believed very much that Queen Yi ‘an should have Wei Zheng around her, and one day Queen Yi ‘an would stop Rao Wei Zheng from claiming the title of emperor.
Besides, even if Queen Yi ‘an and Le An Gongzhu can’t get up to the status of Xu, they will also bring a lot of care to Wei Zheng.
If Wei Zheng claims to be the emperor as Xu Ma, the whole dynasty of Wei Zheng will be discredited and spurned by all readers …
Thinking of these Emperor Chongzhen’s direct peace of mind, he continued to ask Qian Zongshu, "But Wei Zheng’s official position has now reached the peak of the imperial court. How can I give him an official promotion? Do you want me to set a precedent for Wei Zheng, a different surname?"
Let Chongzhen didn’t think it was Chongzhen. As soon as Qian Zongshu said this sentence, he said, "Yes, it is to seal the king … but also to allow Weizheng to build his own government …"
"If you want the court to do it, it means that the court has given the Tiger and Leopard Army everything it can. If the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to stand on its own feet instead of rebelling, most people in the whole dynasty will be loyal and defensive. It is an ungrateful person."
Emperor Chongzhen had to admit that it was the best way to buy people’s hearts and stabilize Weizheng, forcing Weizheng not to have wild ideas.
Although it is difficult in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, he still agrees with this method.
Disaster relief Qian Zongshu hurried to Datong to prepare and agree with Wei Zheng that when the court moved its capital to Tiger and Leopard Army to receive the specific matters of North Zhili, the information from Beijing had already reached Wei Zheng in the previous step.
Seeing that Wei Zheng’s calm face has not changed at all because of intelligence, Kelly Y Zhou asked with a puzzled face, "The guard should call you a sovereign from now on. Aren’t you happy that you were sealed by the court? If I had known this North King, I would have been the first half-recruited sovereign in the great court for hundreds of years except for several sovereigns of the founding of the People’s Republic of China."
"Happy, of course, happy … when the sovereign has opened the government to build an official’s office, we can be honest, officials can train the army to recruit talents, so many benefits are handsome … no, we should call ourselves king now, of course, we are very happy." Wei Zheng’s face gave me a smile and answered quickly.
"But let the king didn’t think that it was the court that gave the king an official title. It turned out that it was to guard against Wang Zili’s break with the court rather than directly claiming the emperor after entering Beijing."
"But this method of the imperial court is really good. With the title and official position of the North King, in the next few years, the king has no idea of self-reliance because the title of the North King is covered with his head, which can help the king do many things …"
"Because he, Emperor Chongzhen, was worried that the king of the Forbidden City had no interest at all and would never live in it."
"But the king of the Forbidden City is so big that it can’t be allowed to stay there all the time. Except for leaving some palaces for the king to live in and building a government, the rest of the palaces are used to build schools."
"When Yu Zheng came to Qian Zongshu, the king wouldn’t be able to stop him. Can you really tell him what the court and Emperor Chongzhen were worried about? Will the king not do it in a few years? It depends on the performance of the court …"
In the face of a series of decisions made by Wei Zheng, the strategist felt a little inappropriate, but the firm expression on Wei Zheng’s face still made it express from without hesitation.
After giving Weizheng a positive answer, Kelly Y Zhou asked consciously.
"Report things to us, are you going to …"
Kelly Y Zhou looked at a sneer and quickly emerged to Weizheng’s face, and then he didn’t hide the answer, "Since the court sealed me as the North King, the whole North Dynasty is the king in charge … The king will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity."
Seeing Kelly Y Zhou’s face quickly exposed, Wei Zheng quickly opened his mouth and explained, "Beijing has been a great dynasty for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of development and accumulation in the great dynasty, plus Beijing is full of dignitaries, relatives, relatives and court officials … Then Beijing has all kinds of wealth that is absolutely beyond our imagination."
"Don’t say that there are always so many silver kings in 340 million and 22 million silver, and it’s always ok to take 20 million and 20 million from them. Otherwise, the big Beijing will not become a city because the court moved its capital …"
At this time, Kelly Y Zhou’s first thought was that Wei Zheng finally added a request in the negotiations with Qian Zongshu.
When the imperial court and all civil and military officials leave the capital, they can take away a certain amount of property according to their rank.
Thought of here, Kelly Y Zhou hurriedly asked, "Report, do you want to lead troops into Beijing … No, it’s too dangerous. There are less than 50,000 troops in the imperial court, and according to the agreement, we can transfer a division into Beizhili in advance. Once in danger, a division root can’t stop the siege of tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court …"
Weizheng refused without thinking …
"On this trip to Beijing, the king will go …"
"Ensuring the stability of Beijing is on the one hand, and besides, Wang has another important thing to do, that is, recruiting tens of thousands of elite troops to stay as much as possible."
"If we can leave these border troops, we can have two more troops. Not only that, these two soldiers also don’t need how to train veterans, so that our butch army can develop for a year …"
"You don’t worry about Yu ‘an … Wang is secretly going to never let the court know that even if the court knows that he wants to kill me, a division of troops can protect me until reinforcements arrive …"
"Well, it’s settled … two days later, Wang personally led a cavalry division into Beizhili to receive Beizhili."

Wei Zheng guarantee still has high credibility for Emperor Chongzhen.
When Qian Zongshu sent the final negotiation results to the capital, the imperial edict that the imperial court moved the capital to Nanjing spread all over the capital in just one day, and then this imperial edict spread like a plague.
