Chapter 80: The Monarch and the Ministers Meet 2
Knee landing on the ground is a very difficult thing for Yu Xiaotian, there is no kneeling in later generations, unless there are rules for worshiping ancestors, almost no one will kneel on the ground in ordinary times.
This knee fell on the gold brick on the ground, it hurt, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh secretly, these courtiers are really not having a good time, they kneel for a long time at every turn, this knee is really not shallow! Hey!
At this time, several eunuchs surrounded a middle-aged man in a yellow robe from the apse into the Wenhua Palace, Yu Xiaotian peeked sideways, and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was actually not very old at this time, that is, he was only twenty-eight years old, and he should be in his youth, but after he became the emperor, he lived too sadly, worked hard day and night, and was quite diligent, so that he was not hollowed out by wine, but tired like a little old man.
Chongzhen's body is not obese, but he looks a little swollen, and his face is relatively yellow, and he actually looks a little malnourished.
His face was fair, but his two eye circles were dark, obviously he hadn't been fully rested, and he must have stayed up late last night, so he seemed to be in low spirits, but he was forced to make a majestic appearance.
If Yu Xiaotian had just come to this era, when he saw an emperor like Chongzhen, he would definitely be shocked by his majesty that he had cultivated for a long time, but now for Xiaotian, Chongzhen's behavior is just holding a shelf.
For so many years, he has been like a soil emperor, in the Sea Wolf Group, above 10,000 people, and he has already developed a lofty temperament, plus he is burly and healthy, and the momentum on his body is not weaker than Chongzhen, so Chongzhen's style has no effect on him at all.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The sinner is in filial piety to welcome the saint! Yu Xiaotian pretended to say loudly.
Chongzhen actually hid in the apse for a long time, listening to the movement in front, but he never came out, he endured the hatred, curiosity, hatred and some unspeakable feelings in his heart, and after waiting in the apse for a while, he really couldn't bear it anymore and walked out from behind.
It was only at this time that Chongzhen really saw Yu Xiaotian, the most powerful enemy in his life, and at this glance, Chongzhen himself couldn't help but shout.
He had already heard that someone described Yu Xiaotian's appearance, saying that Yu Xiaotian was tall and powerful, dignified in appearance, and had the courage of ten thousand people, but when he saw it today, Chongzhen felt that these people's descriptions of Xiaotian were not too much.
Yu Xiaotian was indeed born tall and mighty, his skin was slightly dark, showing a healthy wheat color, although his appearance was not unusually handsome, but he was sharp and angular and quite majestic.
Although Yu Xiaotian is now an enemy and an absolute villain in Chongzhen's mind, this still did not affect Chongzhen's first impression of Xiaotian.
Such a person has such a temperament, it is really convincing, no wonder it is rumored that the generals under the command of Xiaotian are loyal to him, even if he is born and dies, he has no complaints, at least in this bearing, Chongzhen has never seen it in the officials of the court.
Just by relying on Yu Xiaotian's skin and his temperament, it can be seen that this person is a person who can achieve great things! At this point, Chongzhen himself couldn't help but give Yu Xiaotian a very high evaluation.
Speaking of Chongzhen's most hated people at the moment, I am afraid that they are no longer Jiannu and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, with Yu Xiaotian going north this time, Yu Xiaotian has risen to the status of the most hated enemy in Chongzhen's mind, and after seeing Yu Xiaotian today, he found that he couldn't hate this guy a little.
And today, when he saw Yu Xiaotian kneeling down to greet him, Chongzhen felt ashamed for no reason.
In fact, before he showed up just now, he had already made mental preparations, thinking that Yu Xiaotian would definitely not be very respectful to him, and it would not be too much to do some big rebellious acts in front of him, so he had already made up his mind, even if Yu Xiaotian did not kneel, he just didn't see it.
But he didn't expect that after he appeared, Yu Xiaotian still knelt down to greet him, which made Chongzhen a little angry, although he knew very well that Yu Xiaotian was pretending to be doing this, but it still gave him a natural sense of superiority, and his heart was more comfortable.
But he also knew very well that Yu Xiaotian was specifically giving him face, and he couldn't be too upright, Yu Xiaotian came to see him today, and he would definitely have a showdown with him, so let Yu Xiaotian kneel all the time, and estimated that this negotiation might collapse directly, so after he was a little satisfied, he walked to the back of the dragon case and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "No courtesy!" ”
Yu Xiaotian stood up and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" He was waiting for Chongzhen's words, even if Chongzhen didn't say it, he had to stand up by himself immediately, he had already given Chongzhen face, if this guy gave him a shameless face, then he would not be polite, now it seems that Chongzhen is not stupid, knowing that the shape is not good for him, and he is not pretending to be two hundred or fifty or eighty thousand, which is a good phenomenon.
Chongzhen asked Xiaotian with a calm face: "Yu Qing, I came to ask you, what do you want to brazenly launch a mutiny this time?" ”
Yu Xiaotian bowed down and pretended to be wronged, shook his head and said: "Qi Shengshang, I'm afraid that the Shengshang has misunderstood the sinner!" Although the minister went north this time to resist the law, but the minister went north this time, he really wanted to be the king of Qin and resist the army of Jiannu!
But the saint was confused by the rumors of those traitorous ministers, regarded the ministers as rebels, and repeatedly tried to put the ministers to death, and the ministers felt that if this continued, the holy world would probably be put in a place of no return by these traitors, so they would risk the disapproval of the world and lead troops into the side of the king of the Qing Dynasty!
Now these traitors have been on behalf of the saints, most of them have been taken down, the reason why the Ming Dynasty has become such a situation now, these traitors can be said to be inexhibitible, their crimes are unforgivable, if these traitors are allowed to continue to be so scourge, then the Ming Dynasty is afraid that the country is no longer a country! I'm afraid that this Ming country will also be wiped out by its scourge!
The reason why the minister did this is also for the sake of the holy country and the people of the great tomorrow! ……”
Yu Xiaotian has memorized this set of rhetoric these days, Chongzhen just asked, he stood on the main hall and made a generous statement, and in the end, even he almost believed his own statement, feeling that he was too loyal and courageous, and he was more loyal than any loyal minister! No wonder some people say that a lie a thousand times is the truth, and there is some truth to this sentence.
After Chongzhen listened to it, he could be said to scoff at Xiaotian's words, which can be deceived by others, but when he said it to him, the master of the Ming Dynasty, it was like in Chongzhen's ears.
"Enough! Yu Xiaotian, do you think I am really a faint king? Can't you tell who is loyal and who is traitor? Your rhetoric can only deceive those subjects and people, but do you still want to deceive me? Chongzhen really couldn't listen to it, and shouted loudly.
Yu Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders, he didn't feel a trace of nervousness about Chongzhen's anger, and he wouldn't kneel down for Chongzhen on the spot like others!
"It seems that the Holy Lord's misunderstanding of his subordinates is too deep! The minister said this, it is all what the minister thinks, and the saint can also recall that since the saint ascended the throne, what have these ministers done over the years?
First of all, Yuan Chonghuan presided over the military affairs of Liaodong, but he first beheaded Mao Dashuai, cut off an arm for the Ming Dynasty, and then colluded with Jiannu, so that Jiannu entered the customs and approached the city of Jingshi, which was a disaster for Jinggi.
Then there was Wen Tiren, then Yang Sichang, and after Yang Sichang, Liu Yuliang and Xue Guoguan, these people ate the king, but what did they do?
Wanting to take the Lu army, Lord Lu, who was dedicated to serving the country and fighting against the Jiannu army, the saint also gave him the sword of Shangfang, and made him the governor of the world.
But what did Yang Sichang's generation do? They secretly restrained Lord Lu everywhere, divided his military power, cut off his food and salary, Lord Lu was ambushed by Jiannu and trapped in the chaotic army, but they refused to send a single soldier to rescue him!
Shengsheng watched Lord Lu lead the lonely master Yu Jiannu to struggle until he was exhausted and suffered dozens of wounds and died in front of the two armies!
Jiannu entered the customs and plundered the south, directly into the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty for as many as 2,000 miles, broke countless cities, slaughtered countless people of our Ming Dynasty, and captured as many as 700,000 people of my Ming Dynasty, trying to take them out of the customs as slaves.
But after Lord Lu, the saint can also take a look, in this great tomorrow, who else is not afraid of Jiannu, fights to the death, and saves the people from fire and water?
After Jiannu plundered, he wanted to go out of the pass, could there be an official army along the way, fighting to the death with it, and rescuing these Ming people?
When everyone heard that the Jiannu army was approaching, they were afraid to avoid it, and they only thought that it would be peaceful to send this plague god out of the customs as soon as possible, as for those captive Ming people, no one paid attention to it, and completely put their life and death out of the way!
This is what they did when they ate the monarch and Lu, Yu Mou, as a Han Chinese, held the power of the army, and supported tens of thousands of soldiers, although the minister knew that the saint was afraid of me, afraid that I would support the army and cut the land to stand on my own! I can not care about that.
But in this way, I see Jiannu as a scourge to my Ming people, but Yu can't sit idly by! Therefore, although the minister knew that he had not obeyed the order, he still brazenly led the army north!
When the minister landed in Tianjin, he had already made it clear to the saint that the minister came to fight against the Jiannu army and save the captive people!
But those traitors have led the way in slandering me before the Holy One, and they have evil intentions and intentions to rebel, and they have repeatedly tried to put me to death!
The saint was confused by his fallacies, did not send a soldier and a pawn to help me in the decisive battle of Jiannu, and did not allocate a grain and money to use with my soldiers, even so, the minister still fulfilled his promise and led his soldiers to fight alone, and finally defeated it and defeated the Jiannu army! Saved the hundreds of thousands of Ming people?
The saint keeps claiming that he is not a faint king, so Yu Mou dared to ask the saint in front of the saint today!
Aren't these hundreds of thousands of people who were taken captive by Jiannu the Holy People? Doesn't the saint know that these Ming people, after being plagued by Jiannu, think about it every day, look forward to it every day, and hope that the king can save them from fire and water!
But what about the king? Before His Majesty came with his troops, how many royal divisions were sent to stop the Jiannu army? How many generals and officers have thought about swearing to fight to the death with the Jiannu army?
How many ministers have thought about swearing to defend the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty? Are these exiles not holy people?
Then dare to ask the Holy One! What did the Holy Lord do for these Ming people during this time?
Is it just for his subordinates to lead the troops north to fight against Jiannu, forgetting that the saint is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and has the obligation to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty? Do you only want to put your subordinates to death? ”
Yu Xiaotian was also excited at this time, and asked Chongzhen rhetorically.
