2627 It's Time for the Shen Family to Contribute

"Madam, whether you succeed or not, you can only try desperately. As royal cloth merchants, we have not done such a thing for many years. Now it has been passed down to my generation, living in a stable and prosperous life. Occasionally, I see this piece of royal land. The brand of a cloth merchant is a bit ashamed, and now that life and death are at stake, it is time for our Shen family to contribute!" Shen Jian said solemnly.

Shen Wenjuan's speed was very fast, and after half an hour, almost all the bosses and shopkeepers of shops, large and small, in the entire capital gathered at Shen's house, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of people.

And these hundreds of people, including their wives, children, and family members, and even their distant relatives, there are probably quite a few in the capital. With their influence, they may be able to compete with the other party's people.

Now everyone is worried, for fear that the city will be destroyed. Hearing the remarks circulating in Beijing in the morning, everyone is very moved. As long as their good days are still alive, they don't care who is the emperor!

"Master Shen, why did you invite us here?" asked one of the bosses who was also quite famous in Beijing.

"Just because of the speech that was circulated in Beijing this morning, I would like to ask, what do you think, bosses?" Shen Jianshen did not sit down, but stood in front of everyone and asked respectfully.

One of the straightforward bosses said displeasedly: "What can you think? Anyway, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, we just need to keep our current wealth!"

When someone spoke, others also said: "Yes, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as our life remains the same!"

Seeing that almost half of the people in the room thought like this, Shen Wenjun was a little worried.

But Shen Jianshen smiled, and someone from the side said: "Boss Shen, you should also know that Prince Ming brought 80,000 soldiers outside, but we only have 20,000 soldiers in the capital. Now the city gate is fighting fiercely, with heavy casualties. If this goes on like this, it will only take a day or two to break the city!"

"Yes, Lord Ming said that the people in the city will not be held accountable. We can live whatever life we ​​want. Why don't we let him into the city?"

If you say something, if I say it, there will be fifty or sixty people who agree with it from hundreds of people!

Seeing this huge scale, Shen Wenjun was very flustered, no wonder the people in the capital gathered so quickly in such a short period of time, Shu Hao's bait was really big enough!

Shen Jianshen just glanced at those who were in favor of surrender, then looked at Li Fan, and asked, "Master Li, what about you?"

Li Fan got up, looked at those who were talking, and said with a sneer, "I am here! I will not vote to the death!"

Some of them began to say: "Master Li, your Jinfulou Fujinlou has robbed Suiyu Guzhai's business, of course you are afraid that Lord Ming will retaliate against you!"

Li Fan shouted: "I am a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, so I support the orthodox emperor of the Qing Dynasty in my heart. He is a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne. His name is not right and his words are not right. Why are we afraid?"

Li Fan's words silenced some people who were shouting just now.

In ancient times, concubines and concubines were the most important, and respect and inferiority were the most important. Naturally, the emperor should have issued an edict from the previous emperor to announce the succession to the world, but this Ming prince...

Seeing this, Shen Jian said with a deep smile: "Everyone, allow Shen to say something. All the bosses said it just now. Boss Li disagreed because he was afraid of the retaliation of Lord Ming! But everyone, what happened in the fifteenth year of Shunyuan I don’t know about you, but have you heard the elders in the family mention it?”

Shunyuan fifteen years?

Mentioning that incident, some of the older ones paled suddenly, some of them didn't know, they looked around and looked at each other, wondering what happened in the fifteenth year of Shunyuan!

Shen Jian said quietly: "Since there are bosses who don't know what happened that year, let someone Shen tell everyone one by one!"

The fifteenth year of Shunyuan was the fifteenth year when the ancestor emperor succeeded to the throne. Since the ancestor emperor was already old when he founded the Qing Dynasty, by the fifteenth year, he was getting older and his body was getting worse. Well, but the mind is still clear!

The ancestor emperor gave birth to three princes, all of whom were siblings and brothers, and all of them had grown up, married and established businesses.

Logically speaking, if this is the succession, it should be the eldest son of the family who succeeds, but...

However, the ancestor emperor established his third son to succeed him, that is, the emperor's grandfather who is now the emperor succeeds to the throne. But the eldest son and the second son saw that the ancestor emperor did not choose them, but chose the third child. Of course, they were angry from the heart and wanted to seize power from the third child. The third child who died, after some suppression, the eldest child failed and was imprisoned.

But the third brother, thinking about the brotherhood, let the second and third children go, and even gave them a fief far away, allowing them to stand on their own as kings, which is the best of benevolence and righteousness!

But who knows, after the eldest and second child went to the fiefdom, they didn't remember the love of the third child, but the humiliation that the third child gave them, so the two colluded with foreign countries and attacked the Qing Dynasty.

When the third son who succeeded him found out, he knew that he had missed the brotherhood and let the tiger go back to the mountain, so he personally led the army and went to suppress it. However, because the incident happened suddenly, the supply of food, grass and quilts was not timely, and because the calculation was wrong at the time, the emperor at that time almost died on the battlefield. Later, because of the then head of the Shen family, he was transferred from various places Grain, grass and clothing to keep out the cold solved their worries, which allowed them to turn defeat into victory and annihilate the rebellious rebels at that time in one fell swoop!

And that war finally led to the massacre of the city where the two were enfeoffed. Of course it wasn't the ancestor emperor's doing, but the defeated boss and second child saw that he was defeated, left behind and killed all the people in the city!

This matter was later given to the ancestors of the emperor.

The big lesson is that anyone who inherits the great rule must be a person with a kind heart, a heart for the world, and a heart for the common people.

From then on, all succeeding emperors are people with both cultural relics and people who care about the common people. They put all their thoughts on changing the residences and improving the lives of the people. It was from that time that the Qing Dynasty began to slowly move towards prosperity and prosperity. Until now, when foreign countries came to congratulate, the Qing Dynasty has already enjoyed a reputation!
