Chapter 219: Who is afraid of whom
The huge Imperial Palace, the court meeting of Nuoda, became a special session for Chongzhen and Liu Hongchuan, and all the courtiers became spectators.
It's not that Chongzhen doesn't believe them, in fact, Chongzhen once gave all his hopes to these courtiers below.
In the past seventeen years, he has issued six edicts of guilt, and all the pots have been carried by himself, but what has he done?
Seventeen years later, not only is the royal robe he wears still patched, but the land is constantly lost, lost, and lost.
This group of dogs in NY, in addition to arguments, quarrels and intrigues, I don't know what else to do at the daily pilgrimage!
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the war in Liaodong can't be discussed here after all, so let's go to the Xishan camp together!"
Liu Hong gradually pointed to the west.
No matter how it is discussed, it is still up to the soldiers to fight everything on the battlefield, and instead of arguing here, it is better to go to the barracks and have a look.
Look at how these Ming recruits live, and see if they have confidence in winning this war, it is better than fighting with a group of strong-mouthed kings.
In Liu Hongji's view, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, like the vast number of ordinary people, generally lived a difficult life, but it was these people who lived the poorest people who supported the shattered edifice of the Ming Dynasty from falling.
The peasants handed over the grain they were reluctant to eat, while the soldiers, dressed in shabby cotton clothes, threw blood at the border gates.
They may never see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in their lifetime.
But because of this, if Chongzhen went to the barracks, even if he wandered around casually and said a few words to fool people, it was enough to make these illiterate soldiers so moved that they wanted to sell their lives to the emperor.
This may be one of the only two benefits of the feudal empire.
Liu Hongjian didn't know what Chongzhen thought, in his opinion, if he went to the barracks to hang around, he could increase the morale of these soldiers tenfold, and he would definitely go around if he was fine.
"Your Majesty, please beg the bones!" Tan Mianhua lay on the ground, his knees couldn't stand it.
In his opinion, if you don't make a big move, you can't do it, and you will lose all your face!
"Your Majesty, the minister is also begging to return to his hometown!" Qian Buren immediately followed, puffed up his bravery, and struck the last blow!
After that, there were also the imperial history of the Inspectorate and the six departments to follow the trend, there are many people and great power, and the law is not responsible for the public, what if you are the emperor?
Only the right Du Yu Shi Yue cloth skirt just lay in the place and did not say a word.
"Quasi-play!" Chongzhen waved his hand without thinking about it, as Liu Aiqing said, this Ming is a scholar, and he Chongzhen is not worried that no one will work for him.
"Who else Aiqing wants to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, they all say that I will not disappoint Aiqing!" When Chongzhen said this, he was not angry at all, but he said it as if he was caring for his courtiers.
But when these words were heard in the ears of Tan Mianhua, Qian Buren and others, they were as uncomfortable as snakes and scorpions, which was too poisonous.
They are only forty years old, they don't want to go back to their hometown, they still have ambitions, and they are so desperate just to show that they have the character of preferring to bend.
But they didn't really want to quit!
Tan Mianhua's cold sweat broke out from his forehead, the matter has come to this, can he still tell the saint that he was talking and playing just now?
Only the corners of Yue Buqun's mouth slightly raised slightly when he was kneeling on the side, a group of fools! I guessed that the saint did not eat this, but fortunately the official did not beg for bones with you.
He has been in charge of this department for several years, and now that so many fools in the Inspectorate have resigned at once, maybe......
Hahaha! Yue Buqun secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Chongzhen thought that a large number of officials would return to their hometowns, but he still overestimated the virtues of these officials, except for the seven or eight who knelt down at the beginning, the loudest shouting just now did not make a sound.
"Liu Aiqing, is it too late to go to the Xishan camp today?" Chongzhen glanced at the courtiers with disdain, and said to Liu Hong.
It was already early (around two o'clock in the afternoon), and if the emperor wanted to leave the city, it was a big deal, and he had to prepare at least a day in advance.
What kind of honor guards, guards, carriages and horses, each tens of thousands of people are with him, and it is impossible for the emperor to get out of the imperial city, because it is too informal, and it is too embarrassing to put it simply!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise, if the fast horse from the Xishan camp to the capital, it will only take about half an hour, and this time will definitely be in time.
As for the accompanying guards, 1,000 people were mobilized from the imperial city's government army vanguard, 3,000 battalions, and Jinyi guards to accompany them. ”
Liu Hong gradually understated, in his opinion, he had to prepare a day in advance to go out, isn't this?
Is there an egg for making so many ceremonial guards?
If you go to inspect a place and inform people in advance, then if the people in this place are not stupid, they will definitely show you the best side.
And if you want to see the truth, you have to be surprised.
The new army in Beijing has also been training for a month, and to say something embarrassing, Comrade Liu Hongji, who is the commander of the Beijing camp, has only been there once.
Fortunately, Deputy Admiral Li Huaizhong is a veteran who is extremely strict in governing the army, and he has the affection to defend the city together, so he is also relieved to lose the burden to Lao Li.
But it's been a month, and he also wants to see how Jingying is doing!
Chongzhen hesitated a little, it has been seventeen years, and the number of times he has been out of the imperial city is less than seventeen times, which one is not prepared a few days in advance?
It's not that he's worried about safety, it's just that he doesn't have a guard of honor with thousands of children, how can he show the respect of the Son of Heaven?
"Your Majesty, there is no emperor who has been praised by all ages who has not been sympathetic to the suffering of the people.
And the highest glory of the Son of Heaven is the admiration of all the peoples, not the gift of those guardians.
The minister thought that His Majesty should pay more attention to reality and stay away from those useless and false courtesies. ”
Of course, Liu Hongjian knew what the uncle in front of him was thinking, but he just took care of these etiquettes, for fear that the officials would say that he was stupid.
But don't you even look, who are these kneeling birdmen in the court? Are you afraid of him, or is he afraid of you?
This man, if he is so good to him, he does not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he does not know who feeds him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to drive the Xishan camp to see my new 150,000 soldiers, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" Chongzhen simply became a pot dumper.
"Listen to Your Majesty's holy judgment!" Shoufu took the lead, and several masters in the cabinet said in unison.
If you want to get these uncles in, it is impossible, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that since the emperor has already said this, he must have made up his mind in his heart, and only a fool jumped out to refute it at this time.
In less than an hour, under the command of Cao Wentai, the commander of the imperial guards, three thousand guards gathered outside the Imperial Palace.
It turns out that as long as the emperor has a vigorous and resolute hand, the efficiency of this bloated institution is still good.
Chongzhen entered the imperial chariot, and the elderly masters of the cabinet got into the carriage in the rear.
"Let's go! Go straight to the West Mountain Camp! Liu Hong gradually rode on a horse and said loudly.
