Chapter Seventy-Five: The Loyal Minister
In addition, Yang Sichang, Liu Yuliang and Chen Xinjia have all been arrested by Chongzhen's order at this time, and they are locked in the prison of the Criminal Department.
Yu Xiaotian is of course very happy to be able to catch these people, these people can be said to be him stepping on the steps of the upper position, if many people run away, it will definitely not be very beneficial for him to control the court in the future, and he needs these people to be on the head to calm the anger of the people in the world.
Lu Xiangsheng's death, among these people, Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, Chen Xinjia and others have unshirkable responsibility, and there is also Baoding Governor Zhang Qiping who is not in the case now, and then Yu Xiaotian has made up his mind to take down this guy and kill him together.
As the situation in the Jingshi was gradually controlled by the Yu family, the market began to become more peaceful, and Yu Xiaotian ordered the Jingshi to continue to maintain martial law at the same time, and also began to send people to summon the officials from all over the Jingshi to meet him at his command post.
These court officials are really not having a good time these days, and they are all worried, and they don't know how to deal with them after Yu Xiaotian enters Beijing, and they have also heard the rumors, Yu Xiaotian has already started a search and arrest after entering Beijing to control the inner city, and the homes of officials have been raided, and the whole family has been taken away.
This deepened their fear, thinking that it was not easy for them to get to this point, who didn't study hard for more than ten years before finally getting a lift, and then they worked hard to mix in the officialdom, and climbed to their current position step by step, but once they woke up, the world changed, the emperor was trapped in the imperial city, and the original rebel general Xiaotian entered the capital.
Now that the emperor of the dynasty said it, it seems that it doesn't count, but Yu Xiaotian has become a figure in the capital, so no one knows what kind of outcome they should face in the future, so they can only stay at home tremblingly, waiting for fate to happen to them.
Most of them have already made up their minds at this time, as long as Yu Xiaotian is willing to keep them, they are willing to immediately turn to Yu Xiaotian's side, and continue to work for Yu Xiaotian, as long as they can continue to be officials, then it is easy to say.
When they heard that Yu Xiaotian had summoned them at the original Yamen of the Ministry of War, most of them quickly packed up, put on official robes, sat in a sedan chair or walked, and rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in a very low-key manner to obey orders.
Yu Xiaotian sat in the lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, coldly glancing at the trembling courtiers of the Ming Dynasty standing in front of him, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.
There were more of these people than he expected, almost all of them were named, only a very few ministers who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty did not accept his summons this time, did not come here to see him, almost more than eighty percent of the courtiers stood respectfully in the lobby of the military department, because the place here is small, and some of the low-ranking officials simply stood under the steps outside the lobby.
After almost all of them entered the lobby, although they showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces after meeting each other, they quickly adjusted their mentality, walked into the lobby and stood still, looked at their noses and noses, and put on a respectful posture, waiting for Yu Xiaotian to speak with low eyebrows.
Yu Xiaotian was very angry when he looked at these people, these guys ate the food given by the Ming court, and the Ming court gave them the money, but few people were honestly doing things for the Ming Dynasty.
Before he invaded the capital, what these people thought about most all day long was how to tilt each other, how to climb up, how to step on people, but there were few people who really thought about the future of the Ming Dynasty.
In history, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, these guys ran to kneel outside the noon gate to persuade them to enter, let Li Zicheng ascend the throne and become the emperor, and hurriedly held Li Zicheng's stinky feet, but they didn't expect Li Zicheng to become a big Suo Jingshi, beat many of them half to death, and stole all their family property, and some people were simply killed.
Later, Jiannu entered the customs, and these people Lima surrendered to Jiannu again, and began to work hard for those Tartars before and after the saddle horse.
Now his appearance has changed a qiē, and with his entry into Beijing, these people immediately fell to him, and ran to support him, just by looking at the respectful attitude of these guys, you can see what their idea is.
Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but want to curse, and even had a desire to kill all these people on the spot, but in the end he still couldn't help himself, because at the moment he still needed these people to do things for him, the Ming Dynasty is currently in chaos, and no country can be completely in a state of anarchy for too long, even if it is a big problem, but as long as it turns, it is better than completely stagnating.
What's more, he needs these people to speak for him, for the time being, he can't ascend the throne and become the emperor, he needs this group of people to do things for him as courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and temporarily run all kinds of things first, as for where these people should go in the future, then it depends on their future appearance.
So Yu Xiaotian cleared his throat, and the entire hall suddenly became silent, and everyone quickly pricked up their ears and made a posture of listening to each other.
Yu Xiaotian stood up, walked down, stood in the lobby, and began his speech, in fact, his words did not have much nutrition, let alone much novelty, he still insisted on the tone of the piece of text he threw out at the beginning, and categorically denied that his attack on the Beijing Division was a rebellion, and insisted that he did it for the sake of the Qing monarch and the Ming Dynasty to clear those traitors in the court.
Now that he has entered Beijing, he has taken control of the overall situation in the capital, and he has also arrested a group of traitors, so the goal has actually been achieved, so that these super-heavy people don't have to worry too much, what to do, what to continue to do, can't stop and do nothing.
Daming still has a lot of things to do at the moment, I hope these courtiers will not abolish the public for personal reasons, but go back to get things done first, as for what to do next, just listen to his greetings.
As soon as these ministers heard Yu Xiaotian's words, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, they came today, in fact, they were very worried, worried that Yu Xiaotian summoned them this time, it was a Hongmen banquet, and they would take the opportunity to wipe them out, but they didn't dare not come, because if they didn't come, they were afraid of angering Yu Xiaotian, and immediately beheaded them, in that case, it would be even more unlucky.
Everyone came over today, just to see the direction of the wind, to hear what Yu Xiaotian's idea was, and how to deal with them next, when Yu Xiaotian said that he would not move them for the time being, let them continue to stay in office, and continue to do their duties, and promised that as long as they don't mess around, they won't be moved, and they won't raid their homes, which makes many people breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't kill them, don't raid their homes, and let them continue to stay in office, continue to work, this official continues to be the official, then it doesn't matter who you do it with, now everyone is as clear as a mirror in their hearts, now among the Beijing divisions, the emperor said that it doesn't count, but this Yu Xiaotian has the final say, although Yu Xiaotian is a martial artist, it is very unpleasant to be ordered by such a Qiu Baqi on his head, but in line with the principle of self-preservation, these ministers still endured.
But after Yu Xiaotian finished saying this, a person stood up, and this person glared at Xiaotian angrily and shouted: "Yu Xiaotian! I'll ask you! What you say is good, what you say is the side of the king, but you are acting in such a way that you are violating the authority of heaven, where do you put the Holy One today? I'm afraid that what you say is beautiful, but in fact you probably have other plans! If you want me to work for you, don't think about it!
I advise you, the heavens are clear, and if you act like this, you will be punished sooner or later! In this big future, how can a villain like you play with it in the palm of your hand! ”
This person pointed at Yu Xiaotian is scolding, it can be said that the sound vibrates the roof tiles and is deafening, and everyone present is shocked, some of them have a look of admiration on their faces, but some people show a look of foolishness, of course, there are also people with a look of pity on their faces, thinking that this guy is going to die today.
Who is this Yu Xiaotian? This guy even dared to disobey the holy decree, brazenly led his troops north, shook the 100,000 army of Jiannu with a lonely division, and destroyed it, and dared to do something to the official army, beheaded Wu Xiangdu, and brazenly sent troops to attack the capital.
Even Yu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, feeling very novel, among the Ming Dynasty officials, there is really such a person who is not afraid of death, and in such a public, he scolded him with blood.
But after Yu Xiaotian heard this scolding, instead of getting angry, he smiled, turned around and looked at the official who came out to scold him angrily, only to see that this official was wearing a cyan official uniform, and a cormorant was embroidered on the patch on his chest, and it could be seen that this person's official rank was not high, just a six-rank official.
And this person is only about forty years old at most, with a fair complexion, three long beards, quite upright, quite elegant, but at this time his expression is angry, destroying the overall coordination, and at this time he is looking at Yu Xiaotian angrily, revealing a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.
"Who are you?" Yu Xiaotian asked indifferently to the official who scolded him.
"A certain is Liu Gongwang, the head of the Ministry of Officials!" The official replied angrily.
"Good scolding! Today, Yu finally met someone who dared to scold me in front of Yu! Admire! Yu Xiaotian smiled indifferently and said.
"You are such a rebel and thief, everyone in the world can be punished, Liu, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, only hates that there are no soldiers in his hands, and he can't get rid of a rebel minister like you for today's saints, so he can only use his tongue to kill and listen to him!" This Liu Gongwang then scolded.
(My daughter's illness has recurred, intestinal obstruction, it was passed two days ago, but it was blocked again yesterday, and the little guy who hurt couldn't sleep for a day and a night, and he kept crying, and he was distressed to death!) Open your eyes, God! Don't toss my daughter, what's coming at me!
Thank you to all the brothers who have been supporting me in the past few days, and thank you to the brothers of Damo Xiaochunfeng, wdj1972, Kedaowu, and Houmudanjiang for their rewards! )
