Cheng Ji's life is over, as soon as this jade seal comes out, the emperor's prestige will be irretrievable, just this jade seal can make those fools crazy!

He saw that the ministers under the leadership of Shoufu had already congratulated the emperor, and he could only pray in his heart that the emperor would be happy to receive the jade seal of the country, and he could be punished lightly.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at these courtiers below, and did not ask them to be flat, but just glanced at them, and only after they quieted down, did he ask coldly: "The grassland is a great victory, but there are still objections?" ”

No one responded, they all lowered their heads and didn't speak, which was actually a tacit acquiescence.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't let it go, and continued to ask loudly: "You have to occupy the city to count, okay, the naturalization city is now under the control of my Ming Dynasty, is it counted?" The Hetao is now in the hands of my Daming, does it count? ”

None of the others spoke, but Shoufu Wen Tiren spoke, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, such a contribution to expanding the territory can be sacrificed to the Taimiao!" The jade seal of the country returned to the Ming Dynasty, and it can be sacrificed to the Taimiao! The people in the border areas of Qin and Jin live and work in peace and contentment, and are not affected by the suffering of Mongolia beating grass valleys, and the Ming Dynasty is mighty in the grassland, and can be sacrificed to the Taimiao ......"

If the previous war in Liaodong can still make people with ulterior motives make excuses, the current victory in the grassland, which was won by Wen Tiren one by one, is a real victory, and it is not an exaggeration to sue the Taimiao, and no one can quibble.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" After the auxiliary minister Zhang Zhifa waited for Wen Tiren to finish speaking, he said loudly with a little raised eyebrows, "This kind of great victory is a great victory since the founding of the country, and it should be sacrificed to the Taimiao and show the world!" ”

"The last general seconded it!" Zu Dashou couldn't help but play loudly happily.

Although the generals basically have no right to speak in the court, Zu Dashou knows that the emperor wants the generals to have a say. Such a great victory, although he did not fight it, but as a general, he is also very happy!

With them taking the lead, some other civilian and military generals who did not participate in the impeachment first seconded the proposal. In the end, those civil officials who participated in the impeachment also had to bow their heads and second, which is the trend of the times!

However, listening to this, Emperor Chongzhen did not smile, and still shouted loudly with a cold face: "In the past few days, how many people have jumped up and down, thinking that I don't know? ”

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent again, and the officials involved in the impeachment knew what they were going to face, and they lowered their heads and sweated non-stop. And those civil officials who did not participate in the impeachment, who had thoughts in their hearts, secretly wiped a cold sweat and were glad that they did not participate.

"Maliciously slandering the merits of the front-line soldiers, ignoring their heads and spilling their blood to defend the homeland and the country! I hate such people! Emperor Chongzhen's voice echoed over the Forbidden City, making those generals puff up their chests, "Without those heroic soldiers, can you feel at ease here?" ”

He barely gave his courtiers a chance to react, and continued to vent his anger; "When the lips are closed, the merits of the soldiers are erased. I once said that even if you are an official of the imperial history, you must have a basis for what you say, and you must not do anything again! You say, how many people remember what I said this time? Just rely on your own imagination and ignore the merits of the soldiers who fought with their lives, are you ashamed, are you worthy of the heroic souls in the Martyrs' Hall? ”

Speaking of this, he immediately said, "Where is the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" ”

"The last general!" Liu Xingzuo immediately turned around and faced Emperor Chongzhen with his fists on standby.

"All officials who impeach and slander the war in Liaodong will be supervised by the brocade guards to go to the martyr's hall to pay tribute and repent after retreating from the dynasty! Those who dare to disobey will be punished according to the crime of being captured! ”

"The last will obey!" Liu Xingzuo shouted the order.

Hearing this conversation, many people were frightened. Before, the Jin merchants were captured, but they were imprisoned, and I don't know how many Jin merchant families were wiped out.

Of course, if Emperor Chongzhen's judgment is not justified at all, then the civil officials will definitely oppose it. But acknowledging the merits of the soldiers, what was said before was slander. Since it is slander, it is to attack the soldiers of the border army, and the impeachment of leading figures such as the governor of Denglai is tantamount to helping the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to refute the charge of arrest.

They were thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen was not finished, and he was still saying loudly: "In the future, the Ming officials, including the imperial historians, dare to slander others and make trouble, they will all be punished for slander!" I want them to know that whoever they are is responsible for what they say! ”

In fact, generally speaking, although the imperial historian has the right to hear the wind and do things, few people really attack when they hear something. Generally speaking, it will be verified first, and it will only be done when there is evidence. However, but in a certain period of time, when the party is in great contention, then it will not be necessary to check it, anyway, it has the right to hear the wind and do things, and it will not be much of a problem to attack the other party's advantage!

After Emperor Chongzhen said this, he shouted again: "Xue Ge Lao pursued the arrears according to the law, and no family was ruined. But in some people's recitals, it has become all evil! Such people, their hearts can be punished! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at the ministers, and then said: "If it weren't for Xue Ge's hard work, there would be no way to settle the victims of Jindi, and there would be no way to supply the grain and grass for the grassland war." If it were all up to you, a battle that could have been won would have been dragged out by you! ”

"If you are not afraid of god-like enemies, you are afraid of pig-like teammates!" Emperor Chongzhen angrily quoted the famous words of later generations, "I gave you this sentence, if you want to be a pig teammate, I will slaughter him!" If you want to try it, when the major policies of the imperial court are implemented in the future, just come and see if I will kill people! ”

If he had changed his previous words, his words would inevitably cause an uproar among the ministers, and many people would refute them from all sides. After all, there were courtiers who refuted the emperor by his name and passed it on as a beautiful talk, but now Emperor Chongzhen's words are more embarrassing than impolite behaviors such as calling his name.

But at this moment, with the blessing of Emperor Chongzhen's great victory in expanding the territory, and under the influence of the aura of the jade seal of the country, no civil official dared to come out to refute it.

After leaving this cruel remark, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and left directly. He didn't say that it was over, nor did he say who he was going to deal with. It is equivalent to hanging this knife over their heads, and I don't know if it will fall, which makes many Wenchen worried.

As soon as the emperor withdrew, he retreated. Liu Xingzuo took the list that had been counted in advance, and began to read their names and escorted them to the Martyrs' Hall.

Soon, a mighty group of civil officials, under the supervision of the majestic Jinyi Guard, walked out of the Forbidden City and walked towards the Ming Martyrs' Hall, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Fengtianmen Square.
