The emperor's biggest enemy is the Qing Dynasty, followed by the rebels led by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the third is the civil servant group headed by the Donglin Party, and the fourth is the tycoons of the family who have occupied a large number of fields and forced the people to despair. "

Wu Buwei was drinking while explaining Song Xiance's doubts. There was no need to talk nonsense about the two powerful enemies in the front, but he had to explain the two enemies in the back carefully. This was also the last chance to convince Song Xiance to truly return to his heart and serve the emperor.

Of course, this is also Song Xiance's last chance. If he doesn't know the current situation, he will have no choice but to give it up.

"Everyone in the world has wrongly blamed the emperor. The civil servants who form cliques and only care about their own interests are the culprits who have driven the people into desperation."

Wu Buwei explained to Song Xiance that the various new policies implemented by the emperor to benefit the country and the people were either opposed by the civil servant group or boycotted by local officials and powerful forces. They could not be implemented at all, and it was the emperor who took the blame.

The emperor knew the suffering of the people all over the world, and wanted to reduce taxes and corvee services, and instead levy taxes on wealthy businessmen who were wealthy and even as rich as the enemy's country, in order to increase the empire's fiscal revenue, but he was also strongly opposed by the civil servants.

Those fat and wealthy businessmen spent money to bribe officials, and officials supported them as a protective umbrella. They colluded with each other. If the emperor wanted to touch these wealthy businessmen, it would be equivalent to touching the big cake of the civil servant group. If there was no strong force to support it, the consequences would be serious.

Secondly, there are the local tyrants who own a large amount of land. They use various illegal means to occupy it and force the people to sell their land at a low price. The desperate people either sell themselves into slavery and farm for them for generations, or they rise up and kill officials like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

As for those extremely fat and wealthy businessmen, they can be regarded as half enemies. They will do anything for personal gain, and even betray the country. They are all big bad guys who need to be dealt with in the future.

"Song's military advisor also saw it. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, so talented and strategic. Will the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?" Wu Buwei said a lot. After drinking a few cups of tea, he finally looked at Song Xiance with a smile and watched the expression on his face. .

"The Ming Dynasty will not perish; on the contrary, the Ming Dynasty will surely revive."

Song Xiance knew in his heart that Wu Buwei was showing off his cards to him on behalf of the emperor, and he also knew that this was his last choice, life or death, or even the whole family might be implicated and die with him.

He lowered his head and thought carefully for a while before answering Wu Buwei's question, which was equivalent to making a choice and expressing his feelings to the emperor.

After making his choice, he suddenly felt relieved and felt inexplicably relaxed.

In fact, what he saw and heard today shocked him to the point of numbness. He originally thought that, as was rumored outside, Emperor Chongzhen was a fatuous, incompetent, shameless and foolish king. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a wise, mighty, talented and wise sage. King, the war potential under your diligent rule is still very strong.

Although the Ming Dynasty was riddled with wounds and was seriously ill, this was only on the surface, and it was all caused by corrupt officials colluding with powerful families. However, under the wise command of the emperor, the most important core parts of the Ming Dynasty were already showing signs of vitality. As long as there were Given enough time to gather momentum, the seeds buried in the ground will break out of the ground and grow vigorously.

By then, any old forces that hinder the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty will be eradicated. With the emperor's wisdom and courage, no one will doubt his determination.

Song Xiance understood very well, not to mention that Wu Buwei also made it clear to him. Now is the critical time when the emperor needs help the most. Join in and serve the emperor, like providing help in the snow. When the emperor has eliminated all enemies and stabilized the country, They are all the most meritorious officials from Conglong, and it is not a fantasy to be granted the title of Prime Minister or Marquis.

What does a man do in this life? Isn't it to get promoted to a higher position, to honor his ancestors, and to return to his hometown in glory?

Song Xiance's heart suddenly felt hot, and he became a little excited and more expectant.

He suddenly realized that no matter who he was, as long as he could make the people live a good life, he would serve him, no matter what others said.

By the way, the emperor seems to have said that history is written by the victors, and he also wants to leave his name in history.
