Kangxi faced the questioning of the court minister's face: "In the past, when I asked you to make up your mind, one by one shrank at the back, for fear that the final responsibility would be borne on you, but now it is related to your own net worth and life, and they all jumped out?" ”

He didn't shout hoarsely, but his tone was a little cold, and the ministers who wrote only felt a little chill on the back of their necks, and they all knelt on the ground in an instant: "The ministers are waiting for capital crimes." ”

"Don't think that I don't dare to do anything to you, some people in the harem have indeed withdrawn to Shengjing, you are not angry one by one, and you can't do all the errands, and I am not allowed to arrange a way back for my family? But here I stand and never take a step back! You are my courtiers, I want to die for the Qing Dynasty, you can only accompany me, in the past I took my money, now it's time for you to contribute, you must not think that the former Ming Dynasty and the reverse Zhou will take you in, don't forget that when the Ming Dynasty eunuch party was in power, many people defected to Wei Zhongxian's name, and after Wei Zhongxian died, how did the Donglin Party take revenge, except for the Qing Dynasty, no one will tolerate you! ”

"The ministers are guilty!"

"I don't cure your sins today, I know that you people are forced to stand up, and you can't help yourself, but from today on, whoever does things in a way, two sides and three swords, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, and it's not the first time I've done anything like that. If the Qing Dynasty can survive this crisis, I will not treat you badly, and I will ensure that all the ministers present here will be prosperous and prosperous and rest with the country! ”

For a while, all the ministers knelt on the ground: "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”

It can be said that Kangxi's sweet jujube and stick have effectively curbed the turbulent situation in Beijing, although a small number of people don't believe it, but the general trend is the same, you have to run to other colleagues now and say let's go to Daming quickly, people have to spit on your face, and then pull you to the court to complain.

The emperor is right, those literati in the Ming Dynasty pay attention to virtue, no matter how powerful you are, people with bad virtue will not accept you, rather than running away with your family to make a disgraced face, it is better to stay in the Qing Dynasty, after all, there is a status here, and you have to re-seek it when you go to Daming, everyone is from the dragon's ministers, who will put themselves in their eyes?

His Majesty said that he couldn't leave, that is, he would fight to the death, everyone should eat Junlu, repay Junlu, and serve the country with one body.

Almost all of them have let go of the estrangement between party and faction, and at this time the country is almost gone, so what is the use of winning the party struggle?

The place where these people are a little better than the last years of the Ming Dynasty is that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the courtiers did not believe that the country would die, so the party was tired of fighting, and even Li Zicheng went to the city of Beijing, and the first request was to give him the title of king in various places, Chongzhen and the courtiers did not agree, Li Zicheng just tentatively attacked the city once and it didn't take a few days to beat it.

Thirty-six years after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the older ministers have come from that era, and the younger ones have also listened to the old people in the family talk about the things at that time, everyone understands one thing, if you don't do a good job, the country will really die, these people have a high status in the court of the Ming Dynasty, and they speak with weight, but they have suffered a lot in the face of Liu Zongmin's whip, and those rebels don't look at them as officials at all, and no one wants to come back like this.

The first thing that the Qing Dynasty Hall was about to solve was the strategic direction, and now there were two directions in front of them, one was to take advantage of the illness of the former Ming to kill them, and the other was to attack the reverse Zhou with all their might, taking advantage of the fact that the former Ming was unable to go on a northern expedition, destroy the reverse Zhou, and then turn his hand and clean up the former Ming.

The people who hold the first opinion are worried that the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty will suddenly get better in a few days, and there will be no chance to take advantage, and it must be a tough battle with the reverse Zhou, it is better to pinch the soft persimmon first, after all, the former Ming Dynasty has occupied a lot of land in the past two years.

The reason for eating the second opinion is much more sufficient, first of all, the book of war says that the mourning soldiers will win, and now the former Ming has withdrawn from the army, if it is forced to rush and work hard, the gains outweigh the losses, and the former Ming will not stand idly by and watch the desperate rebellion, and then it will be the passive situation of the previous days. If it is an attack on the reverse Zhou, the former Ming may not have the heart to join forces with the reverse Zhou, and more importantly, the reverse Zhou occupies Jiangnan, which is much richer than Shaanxi and Gansu, once the Jiangnan is captured, the Qing Dynasty can recover the vitality of Sancheng, and even if the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty is not dead, he will not be able to turn up any storms.

In the end, Kangxi made a final decision, the goal was to reverse Zhou, the courtiers were right, no matter whether the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty died or not, now attacking the former Ming, the former Ming will definitely not tie his hands, and the reverse Zhou will definitely not watch himself destroy the former Ming.

And attacking the reverse Zhou can also test whether the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty is really sick, or deliberately pretending to be sick, of course, if he fights the idea of reaping the benefits, he will be disappointed, as long as he takes the rich Jiangnan, even if he loses his troops, he will be able to recover in a few years, and then it will be their turn to regret it.

Half of Feiyangu's army stationed in Henan was transferred to Shandong, where they joined forces with the imperial army and began to launch a fierce assault on the reverse Zhou.

The life of the Ming Dynasty was not easy, and everyone thought that His Majesty's old injuries had recurred, and his morale had plummeted, and if the Manchu Qing Dynasty launched an offensive at this time, he might be able to recover a large area of land.

However, at this time, Cheng Xiaolian can only compare the lesser of two evils, this is not a game, it is impossible to hang and foresight, the loss is necessary, and if it really enters Beijing at this time, I am afraid that the loss will be greater. A good gambler will never be lucky to think that the next hand will encounter a turnaround, and must make the most favorable decision for the next hand in advance, or even withdraw decisively.

Not to mention the war on the front line, Chengdu Mansion is in chaos, the news of Cheng Xiaolian's recurrence of old injuries is spreading, and he can't go out of the house, every time he goes to the mansion to check, he is blocked back by Yang Youcai: "Your Majesty is unconscious, I can't see you, you go back, and I will naturally notify you when there is news." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was playing chess with his eldest son in the house at this time, but the second son was bored, so he would sway and fall on the chessboard, Cheng Xiaolian just raised his palm, and the younger daughter was about to cry loudly with a pout, and quickly held his daughter in his arms, and the eldest son could only help his younger brother aggrievedly, and then put the chessboard again.

Three-year-old children don't know a few words, saying that playing chess is also play-based, supplemented by competition, but children are very concerned about winning and losing, and naturally refuse to admit defeat until the last moment, and someone stirs his chessboard only regrets and is not happy.

There was a smell of medicine in the room, and Mao Ruoling walked in with a plate of fruit: "I said husband, when are we going to pretend, many people in this house are praying for you." ”
