Wang took up the situation during the Jin trial and found that if he wanted to achieve his Shanhaiguan defense plan, he could only get Chongzhen's support. In the DPRK and China, only His Majesty really supported the construction of the Shanhaiguan defense line, and Liu Zongzhou supported disarmament rather than the construction of Shanhaiguan.

In Wang Zaijin's view, as long as it is any expenditure for military affairs, the first reaction of this Mr. Qishan should be to oppose it.

If he really regarded Mr. Qishan as his supporter, it is estimated that after the Liaodong Army was abolished, this moral gentleman should accuse him of building the Shanhaiguan defense line What a waste of money.

Wang Zaijin chose to give in to Chongzhen, he lowered his head and bent down and said to Chongzhen: "If Your Majesty insists on such a request, the minister is willing to encourage you to give it a try." But please ask Your Majesty to grant the people outside the gate to be moved into the gate. ”

Zhu Youzhen raised his hand to signal that Sun Chengzong did not need to be in a hurry to refute, and he said to Wang Zaijin: "Since this is the case, then the Wang Military Department will work out a plan for reforming the main and guest soldier system and dismissing the Liaodong soldiers as soon as possible in the next few days."

As for whether to withdraw the people outside the customs into the customs area, I thought that the first thing to ask was the people outside the customs gates. If moving to Kannai will make their lives better, I'm sure they'll be willing to move.

But if they don't know how they're going to live after moving to Kannai, I don't think anyone will leave their homeland for a future with no hope. In order to get me to agree to your immigration plan, first make a plan for how to settle the immigrants outside the border.

Before that, I thought that what Liaodong had to do was to appease the emotions of the people outside the Guan. Let them understand that the purpose of the dismantling of the army is not to abandon the people outside the border. ”

Wang Zaijin thought for a while and finally accepted Chongzhen's proposal. And Sun Chengzong also acquiesced in not having to give up the Guanning defense line for the time being.

However, both of them raised the same question, that is, how to ensure the safety of the Guanning defense line after the Liaodong Army was dismantled.

It is clear that the officials in the DPRK and China are concerned about this issue, watching the officials below look at them.

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, he knew that the most critical moment was coming. He had been delaying this moment since the crossing, but now he had to have a showdown.

"I plan to send Yang Hao as an envoy to Houjin to make peace with Houjin." Zhu Youzhen said word by word.

As he expected, as soon as he said this, it was like pouring a cup of cold water into a hot oil pot, and the entire court exploded.

Donglin Party members, eunuchs, neutral officials, honorable people, almost all officials stood up against Chongzhen's idea of suing for peace.

There are about two objections from these people, first of all, the battle of Salhu presided over by Yang Hao is the key to the bad of Liao, and Yang Hao also killed the generals Chen Dadao and Gao Xuan without authorization, and he was sentenced to death when the first emperor was the emperor, how could such a person send an envoy to negotiate peace with Houjin?

Secondly, my Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty once said: "The Ming Dynasty has no Han Dynasty and relatives, no Tang Dynasty alliance, no Song Dynasty's New Year's Thin Coins, and no brothers' gifts to the enemy..." Now how can Your Majesty be humiliated and take the initiative to propose peace to a group of savages in Liaodong? This is really too embarrassing.

There were only a few people in the entire court who did not stand up against Chongzhen, only Wang Zaijin, Xu Guangqi and so on, and even Huang Liji and several other cabinet scholars also advised Chongzhen to think twice.

Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground below, Zhu Youzhen found that he had no idea of retreating, but his heart was aroused, and he wanted to win more violently.

"If you can't even win against these pedantic officials in front of you, then why do you want to defeat Huang Taiji and save the people of this land?" Zhu Youzhen said to himself in his heart.

Brother Xianhuang gave Yang Hao Shangfang a sword on the same day, which could behead officials below the general army, and Qinghe fled Chen Dadao and Gao Xuan to abandon their colleagues and subordinates, what could not be killed. Yang Hao was guilty, and he just formulated a four-way attack plan for the Battle of Salhu, giving Dongyu a chance to break through.

If the battle plan fails, it will be a death sentence, but I want to ask, how many people will I kill besides Yang Ho today, when the Liao incident is so bad? ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words fell, Wen Zhenmeng objected in a loud voice: "Even if Yang Jingfu can be spared death, this peace negotiation is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty." ”

With Wen Zhenmeng taking the lead, the civil officials kneeling on the ground raised their voices one after another against Chongzhen's peace talks.

There were more than 300 officials kneeling on the ground, and looking at the way they knelt on the ground and refused to get up, it was obvious that they wanted to reproduce the Zuoshunmen incident during the Great Etiquette Dispute.

Looking at the officials below who shouted and asked him to withdraw the idea of peace talks, Zhu Youzhen actually knew very well in his heart that these officials were just putting on a show.

Except for a few people such as Wen Zhenmeng and Liu Zongzhou, who were really bound by the precedent of their ancestors and did not want him to take the initiative to propose peace talks to the savages of Liaodong, the other officials just followed the crowd and showed their attitude under the banner of maintaining the dignity of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

However, this kind of unconscious action of the group, under the encouragement of each other, the emotions will continue to ferment, and eventually there will be a wonderful ending.

For example, on the night of August 4 during the French Revolution, a group of nobles and clergy, inspired by a sacred sentiment, betrayed their class and made the famous August Decree. They abolished all feudal obligations in France almost overnight, and at the same time eliminated the privileges they had.

Although the East and the West are different, human nature is the same. This group of civil officials may not know what the night of the Fourth of August is, but as long as this atmosphere continues, even those who just follow the crowd at the beginning will end up thinking of themselves as martyrs who prevent the emperor from making mistakes.

"Showmanship? Can you still let the ancients compare? Zhu Youzhen said with a sneer in his heart.

"Wen Taichang and Zhu Qing just thought that the ancestors and ancestors did not approve of my approach, and I was afraid that I would become an unworthy descendant." Zhu Youzhen stood up and walked down as he spoke.

He walked slowly in front of the kneeling officials, and stayed in front of Wen Zhenmeng and Liu Zongzhou for a while before turning around and summoning Wang Chengen.

Zhu Youzhen slowly took off the Yishan crown on his head, stared at the hat with his eyes for a while, and then continued to speak: "Since all the kings think that the ancestors and the ancestors do not approve of me, then I will personally go to ask the ancestors and the ancestors." ”

Zhu Youzhen handed over the Yishan crown to Wang Chengen, who walked behind him, and then walked along the royal road towards the noon gate.

The officials kneeling on either side of the royal road did not understand what was happening. More than 200 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor slipped back to the palace when he left a hundred officials at the court meeting, but he left the officials, removed the crown, and walked towards the noon gate, what is the situation.

The civil officials, who were originally sad and indignant, suddenly lost their momentum, and many low-level officials began to talk about each other.

Even the leaders of Donglin, who felt that they were upright, were now in a trance.

When Wang Chengen was called in front of Chongzhen, he didn't understand what Chongzhen wanted to do. But soon he found out that he was holding the emperor's Wing Shan Crown in his hand, and his soul was suddenly a little frightened.

He quickly turned into holding the emperor's crown in both hands, and then trotted all the way behind Chongzhen.

Zhu Youzhen walked slowly at first, but soon turned into a small step. Rao is Wang Chengen, who has always had good foot strength, and he was a little unable to catch up at this time.

Soon the two of them disappeared into the noon gate, and where Zhu Youzhen passed, the guards in the palace knelt down one after another.

These guards also didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation, and even forgot to close the noon gate, and just watched the emperor walk out of the noon gate.

After seeing the emperor's figure gradually disappear, Huang Liji seemed to come to his senses, and he quickly shouted to the commander of the guards: "What are you still doing there?" Hurry up and close the palace gate, do you want to watch Your Majesty leave like this? ”

After watching the commander running down sweating profusely, Huang Liji said sharply to his colleagues: "Cabinet colleagues and I will go with me to ask Your Majesty to turn around, and the others will wait here." After Your Majesty returns, I hope you will stop in moderation. ”

Although the expressions of several cabinet scholars were different, they all obeyed now, this old man who suddenly burst out with the majesty of the first assistant.

In the nave of the Taimiao, Zhu Youzhen sat cross-legged on a mat made of brocade. Wang Chengen, who was kneeling beside him, was constantly trying to persuade him to return to the court.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the Taizu tablet placed on the bed mattress opposite him, and said with a smile: "Wang Companion, you don't have to persuade anymore. Tell Huang Shoufu that unless the Emperor Ancestor gives me an answer, I will never eat from now on. ”

"Why does Your Majesty despise yourself so much, if Your Majesty is dissatisfied with those ministers, as long as Your Majesty gives the order, I will order the Jinyi Guards to arrest them all and beat them." Wang Chengen kept kowtowing to Zhu Youzhen as he spoke, hoping that Chongzhen would give up this sensational decision.

Zhu Youzhen moved another mat under Wang Chengen's forehead, preventing him from continuing to make out with the hard gold bricks on the ground.

"If you don't go out yet, don't you even listen to my orders now?" Zhu Youzhen said with some anger.

Wang Chengen was forced to retreat from the nave in desperation. At the foot of the white marble steps outside the hall gate, four cabinet scholars walked around like ants on a hot pot.

After seeing Wang Chengen walking out of the hall, Huang Liji immediately greeted him and asked eagerly, "What does Your Majesty say?" ”

Wang Chengen replied with some indifference: "Your Majesty said: Unless Taizu agrees to his peace talks, he will never eat and will not leave here." ”

Shi Fenglai was suddenly surprised and said, "How can Your Majesty be so rash, this is also said in front of Taizu?" ”

Li Guopu finally couldn't hold his breath, he raised his head and said to Wang Chengen, who was standing on the steps: "I must not let Your Majesty act like this, I want to meet Your Majesty face to face." ”

Wang Chengen stopped in front of the palace gate, and his tone became indifferent: "Scholar Li, weren't you the most powerful one against Your Majesty just now?" Your Majesty has now been forced to hide in the Taimiao, are you still unwilling to let your Majesty go? ”
