"Count the merry people, and look at the ...... of today" Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and muttered in a low voice.

For the advice of his most trusted courtier, Liu Hongji, Chongzhen not only paid attention to it, but also moved him.

Since he was seventeen years old, he has never left the capital.

Eighteen years of hard work, the frivolous heart of his youth has also been worn away by the years, and within this high wall, he faces these courtiers all day long.

He knew the Jianlu and the Tartars, but he had never seen the blood-stained frontier......

He had read poems and seen ink paintings, but he had never seen the desert and the grassland......

Chongzhen looked at the courtiers who fell to their knees, and they were full of words to dissuade him from following the ancestral system to sit in the capital, and almost everyone was against it.

He glanced at An Guogong again, and found that the shaft was still full of hope.

For this erector, the Northern Expedition is just as usual, but now he is willing to risk the world's disapproval and let him personally conquer the ......

Chongzhen coughed twice, and he seemed to understand something.

"I ......" Chongzhen opened his voice in a deep voice, and the hall immediately fell silent.

The civil and military officials all looked up at Chongzhen, and they firmly believed that Emperor Chongzhen was an emperor who understood etiquette and law, and obeyed the ancestral system, and would not mess around like Wuzong, let alone listen to An Guogong.

Many officials had mild faces, and they had already put on a posture to say that His Majesty was sacred.

"I ...... I want to drive the expedition! Chongzhen sat upright, looking at the ministers.

"Your Majesty......"

"This world is my world, the Son of Heaven is not like a trapped beast, why is he imprisoned in a high wall, I have made up my mind, the secretaries do not need to admonish again, the cabinet and the Ministry of War plan to go out on a time and retreat!"

Chongzhen didn't want to listen to the noise of this group of people anymore, he knew that if he sat here, no matter how firm he was, these courtiers would still be able to persuade him until it was dark, and there would be no duplicate.

When Chongzhen got up and went down the imperial steps, he gave Liu Hong a look, and Liu Hong gradually understood.

The ministers sighed, including the first assistant of the cabinet, all glared at Liu Honggradually angrily, they thought that this young man was bringing Daming into the abyss, after all, the change of Tumubao made Daming too painful.

It hurt that all the changes that Liu Honggradually brought to the Ming Dynasty were not enough to offset the courtiers' fear of Tumu Fort and their disgust with the imperial conquest.

But for all this, whether it is the prejudice and resentment of the courtiers against him, Liu Hongjian doesn't care.

Sometimes the truth is not in the majority, and the merits and demerits will be commented on by future generations.

He only knew that this 'old man' who had worked hard for the Ming Empire all his life, time was running out, he should look at his empire, and even more so how his long-cherished enemy would be destroyed......

That's enough, no one can please everyone, he doesn't demand, and he doesn't care.

The window paper in the Qianqing Palace has been replaced with glass, and the dim hall has finally become much brighter.

Getting rid of the noisy ministers, the two of them sat in the bright and clean Qianqing Palace, and instantly felt much more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, the minister's invitation to your royal conquest is by no means arbitrary, the minister is confident, and the minister is ......" Liu Hong gradually knew that in that court, in fact, Chongzhen was under more pressure than him.

After all, this empire was first pressed on Chongzhen, and then on him.

It's just that the group of courtiers don't know the strength of the Ming army now, let alone the changing situation, and the Iron Horse Binghe is slowly being eliminated......

Although the ministers in the court could move around, Liu Hong gradually bet that these courtiers, like Chongzhen, had never seen a real desert, never seen a real grassland, and never seen a real tartar.

Like Chongzhen, everything they learned was from the so-called sage books.

They are self-proclaimed and proud of it, so they think that as a Ming monarch, they should also be like them, abide by the ancestral system (rule).

Corrupt Confucianism misleads the country!

Restructuring, restructuring, Liu Hong gradually knew the urgency of restructuring, but there was a tiger lying beside him, so that he had no time to take care of these malpractices, because he wanted to change these hundreds of years of malpractices.

It takes more energy and time than winning a big battle!

"I understand that you don't need to say more, I just need you to answer one question and promise one thing." Chongzhen waved his hand and dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, interrupting Liu Hongji's explanation.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Liu Hong gradually saw that Chongzhen's face was serious, and he was also very serious.

"How many soldiers should I bring in this battle, and how sure are I that?" In the final analysis, Chongzhen still has never been in the battle array, let alone seen the majesty of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty, the minister never fights an unprepared battle, and the minister's suggestions today are also carefully considered, in order to cope with the northern expedition in the near future, as early as a month ago, the minister wore brocade clothes and guards to go deep into the desert and grassland, and investigate all the useful information for the Ming Dynasty.

Jianlu was caught in an infighting due to the defeat in the war, and the regent of Jianguo, Dorgon, and the prince of Su, Hauge, fought because of a woman. Liu Hong gradually said this, and actually showed a strange smile.

According to the Jinyi Guard's report, the little Yu'er became pregnant not long after she returned, Dolgon thought it was his, Hauge thought it was his own, and the two fought for a green hat......

"And the Menggu tribes were already very dissatisfied with the Eight Banners Reform Politics of Jianyu, and Chahar Khan took the opportunity to lobby to make some tribes join the Golden Family, and the other tribes did not move......"

Liu Hong gradually analyzed the situation of the prisoner in Menggu to Chongzhen.

Now Daming needs a victory to let these wall grasses know who is the boss.

As for this battle, the minister thinks...... 80,000 soldiers are enough! Liu Hong gradually estimated it, and originally wanted to say 60,000, but he felt that this would only make the ministers more panicked.

Because there has always been a saying that the eight banners are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible.

80,000 soldiers, half of the border army and the Beijing camp, iron cavalry, infantry troops, musketeers, supplemented by artillery, etc......

"The emperor who will win the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Hong gradually became confident, all he did was just thinking about Chongzhen's long-cherished wish.

After all, if he led the troops himself, where would he use such trouble.

"You can't underestimate the enemy, Youming!" Chongzhen still knows the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

"Hehe, the emperor forgot the grenade? Don't forget that we still have cannons, if the emperor sees that thing, he will definitely not think that Weichen is talking big! It's just that the minister doesn't know what the emperor asked the minister to promise? ”

The tremendous power of science and technology is simply not at all understandable by the rotten Confucians of this era.

"Whether you win or lose, after this battle, I want you to marry Kun Xing, Kun Xing's girl ......" Chongzhen knows his body, and he knows the prince's situation, and he also knows that Kun Xing does not resist, she has always been an empathetic child.

He must pave the way for the crown prince, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military really have the ability to help the Ming Dynasty move forward, only the kid in front of him, all this is a match made in heaven.

It's just that everything in the world is too much, and there are thousands of young talents who want to marry Princess Daming, but this kid is the only one......

"Everything is subject to the emperor!" Liu Hong gradually understood what Chongzhen meant, they trusted each other, but they still needed a bond.

And Kun Xing is this link, Kun Xing Nan Nizi should also understand, now that Uncle Chongzhen has lowered his figure three times and twice, he really doesn't know what to do if he shirks it again.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have more wives again!

"Then I can rest assured! The Ming Dynasty has been at war with Jianyu for decades, and I really want to meet the desert wasteland.

Oh yes, Cao Huachun has now been appointed as the supervisor of Dongchang, and you can explain some related matters. Chongzhen was really happy.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this power of supervision should be improved, such as the Inspectorate and the six departments to hear the wind in the matter, and the minister thinks it is very inappropriate." Liu Hong gradually frowned.

This unhealthy trend must be curbed, otherwise every day you spray this, he sprays that, there is no real evidence, anyway, there is no need to be responsible, then this court will not become a vegetable market?

In fact, it has always been.

"Well, I'm also annoyed by this group of imperial historians." Chongzhen felt the same way, and he believed that his father and brother were the same, but they were powerless to change.

But he can, he has an army in his hands, like an army with an arm, and the army is a butcher's knife, and the butcher's knife is invincible......

"The minister thinks that when the right to hear the news is revoked, the Inspectorate and the Sixth Section need to have real evidence to impeach someone again.

If you listen to rumors and catch them, you should be punished with a fine, a cane, a demotion or even dismissal, according to the priority of what has been done.

In this way, the affairs of the court can be clearer, and the emperor will have less troubles. Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

He had long been displeased with these officials, not that they were useless, but that they did not use their strength in the right place.

Although the East Factory and Jinyiwei also have the right to supervise hundreds of officials, the factory guard is different from the Inspectorate and the Six Sections.

The Inspectorate and the Six Divisions are self-inspection systems of the civil and official system, but functionally speaking, they must not be abolished.

The factory guard is the direct system of Chongzhen, and it checks and balances each other with the Inspectorate and the six departments.

If there is no inspectorate, the factory guard is bound to be powerful, although he can control it now, Lao Liang is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, but who knows what will happen in the future?

After all, Lao Liang is old, and there is the East Factory, after all, the factory guards are all dark, and it is not good to say, from the beginning of its establishment, the factory guards are the royal hunting dogs.

Many things cannot be put on the bright side, although there have been some changes due to Liu Hongji's arrival.

Canceled the news of the incident, everyone is evidence to say things, the Inspectorate and the six departments to supervise the hundred officials in the matter, the East Factory to supervise the hundred officials and the six departments of the Inspectorate, Jinyi Wei to supervise the East Factory.

The monitoring mechanism that Daming has used for hundreds of years is still very reliable, but a good pot of porridge is always stained by individual black flies.

"Well, Aiqing is reasonable, I also thought about it a few days ago, and I will take back the power to detain officials without a driver's license in Dongchang.

Since Jinyiwei has the responsibility of supervising the East Factory, I will hand this over to you, and if Aiqing thinks that the matter is important, you can directly take someone and report it to me. Chongzhen thought for a moment.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will be cautious in his words and deeds, and live up to the emperor's orders." This is already treating him as a family, and Liu Hongjian naturally knows the weight of this trust.

"Well, in this case, Aiqing will go back early, and discuss the northern expedition with the cabinet tomorrow, and then make a decision." Chongzhen seemed to feel a little tired.

"No, the minister resigns." Liu Hong gradually got up.

"Oh, by the way, this glass is good, I like it very much, I want to replace all the windows in the palace with this glass, you need to bother with it!"

"Ah......???h
