Chapter 454: Ostrich Tactics
In the Qianqing Palace, the uncles are still those uncles, but their faces are very surprised.
Li Banghua, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, looked at each other, and Fan Jingwen shook his head knowingly.
They only learned yesterday that His Majesty's condition had improved, and that he had arrived at Deshanhaiguan, and according to their predictions, Chongzhen would not be able to reach the capital until five days at the earliest.
So much so that Chongzhen's sudden arrival scared several uncles a lot, especially from Wenyuan Pavilion all the way, but when he saw that there were soldiers nearby who had never seen him, he knew that something big had happened.
At this moment, except for Liu Hong, who was casually buttoning his nails in the Qianqing Palace, the rest of the pavilion elders did not dare to gasp, and they were all waiting for Chongzhen's speech.
The sky gradually darkened, Wang Erxi lit the incense candles in the palace, and then waited aside.
Chongzhen took a bowl of tea, took a sip slowly, and put the tea bowl on the table.
"Can you explain to me why I have only been away for three months, and the capital has become like this?" Chongzhen's tone was calm, but everyone knew that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Back to the emperor, everything in the capital is peaceful, and there is no sign of turmoil, why did the emperor say this?" Zheng Sanjun, the first assistant of the cabinet, saw that several colleagues were silent, and knew that he could not hide, so he had to speak back.
"Hmph, is it really peaceful in Vientiane? I'm afraid the threshold of Dingwangfu will be trampled on in the next few days, don't you really know? Chongzhen almost poked his fingers in Zheng Sanjun's face.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ding has always been hospitable, Xu is ......," Li Banghua, deputy assistant to the cabinet, explained in a low voice.
"Hospitality? As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, have you forgotten my ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty? King Ding is young and doesn't know, and the courtiers are all full of poetry and books, can they forget it?
Are they trying to rebel? As an important minister of the cabinet, can you be ashamed and derelict in your duties? ”
Chongzhen directly interrupted Li Banghua's speech, he is now disappointed in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the only way to relieve his hatred is to use thunderbolt means.
"Shame on you!" All the cabinet members, except for Liu Hongji, who was still buttoning his nails, all got up and knelt down to confess.
These uncles are also unlucky, although they are elders, they can't control the words and deeds of all the courtiers, what the courtiers are doing behind their backs, and they won't report to them.
They are not Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they are also desperate!
Chongzhen was also confused, he now had a fire in his heart and wanted to find a place to vent, but he really scolded the cabinet, and found that it didn't work.
Several masters knelt in the hall and did not dare to make a sound, the hall was quiet for a moment, Chongzhen ordered them to go back and think about their own mistakes, and then blasted them out of the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as the elders left, Cao Huachun, the governor of the Dongchang Factory, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, came together to inform Chongzhen of the latest movements of all the officials in the capital.
Not all the officials who committed the crime honestly stayed at home and waited for death, and as soon as the news of Chongzhen's stable condition came to the capital two days ago, several officials of the Sixth Section panicked.
These keyboard warriors know that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are powerful, if Chongzhen really hangs, they have the support of the king and have nothing to fear.
After all, in the final analysis, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the emperor's domestic slaves, and the emperor is dead, what are they afraid of?
But I never expected that His Majesty was not dead, not only did he not die, but he also presided over the wedding ceremony of the big-headed soldiers in Shanhaiguan.
The officials are not stupid, some smart people have already smelled the conspiracy from it, some are happy, some are worried, and some are planning to run away.
Due to the absence of Chongzhen's explicit order, the fans of the East Factory only followed them secretly, but did not start.
Everything is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the whole world is not the king's land, where can it go?
These guys who absconded on sick leave and feared crime all chose to go back to their hometowns.
Liu Hong almost laughed out loud when he heard the movements of the officials, are the keyboard warriors capable of this? Is this playing ostrich tactics?
Chongzhen snorted coldly, and ordered Jinyiwei to arrest these people according to the map and enter Beijing, and when they all arrived home, they happened to arrest their families together.
It's no wonder that these civil officials are doing this, but there is nothing they can do, and now Chongzhen is almost all crooked by Liu Hong.
No matter what kind of conspiracy you have, if you are disobedient, you will be dismissed and go home to sell sweet potatoes, and if you are disobedient and make trouble, all you will go to prison and eat, there is nothing to negotiate.
Again, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be useless.
There are soldiers in his hands, Chongzhen is now awe-inspiring, quite like the demeanor when Liu Hong was in charge of the army.
After sending Cao Huachun and Liang Yang away, it was already midnight, Liu Hongjian fell asleep on the table, Chongzhen was still bright, thinking about what else had not been arranged.
"Youming, Youming?" Chongzhen patted Liu Hongji.
"Huh? I'm sorry for the emperor, the minister ......" Liu Hong gradually rubbed his sour eyes and apologized.
"It's okay, I've been on the road all day, and I've been tossing and turning until now, and you're tired, oh, it looks like we haven't eaten yet......
Wang Erxi, pass on the food! Chongzhen said as he said to Wang Erxi, who was waiting on the side.
That's all there is to the palace, and the Shangshan Supervisor is on call twenty-four hours a day, no matter what time it is, as long as Chongzhen gives an order, the dishes can be filled in less than two quarters of an hour.
"No need, Your Majesty, the minister is not hungry, the minister will go home to eat." Liu Hong gradually yawned, thinking, Uncle, you just remembered now that we haven't eaten yet!
is really big-hearted, Liu Hongji's stomach is about to be hungry, but compared with going home to reunite with his family, the imperial food in the palace is obviously less attractive.
"I see, you are homesick, so let's go back first, and when I finish dealing with the important matters in the court, I will arrange your marriage with Kunxing by the Ministry of Rites." Chongzhen got up as if nothing had happened.
"Uh...... The minister retired. Liu Hong was choked by Chongzhen and could only obey orders, he was targeted by Chongzhen, when has this happened, why can't you forget this?
"Oh, it's late at night, don't forget to bring some guards when you leave the palace." Chongzhen finished adding a sentence.
It's no wonder that Chongzhen is like this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all submissive and obedient, if Liu Hong gradually comes up with some moths, he will kill the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to no avail.
"Your Majesty, hehe, I'll discuss something with you." Liu Hong gradually took two steps and turned back, and said with a serious face.
"Oh? What's the matter? Chongzhen thought that Liu Hongjian had something important to explain, and then sat on the throne again.
"Minister...... I want to take a leave of absence tomorrow. Liu Hong gradually looked at Chongzhen's face as he spoke, he had been tossing outside the gate for three months, and it was too uncomfortable to be able to sleep peacefully when he went home.
Chongzhen didn't refuse at a glance, after all, now that the big thing has been decided, this shaft has been really tired recently, even if he comes to the early dynasty, he is secretly napping in the back, it is better to give a grace.
After getting Chongzhen's quasi-letter, Liu Hong gradually trotted out of the Qianqing Palace.
It's finally liberated, it's been nearly three months, Xiu'er, Xue'er, baby son, are you all okay?
