***

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the second year of Longwu, the red sun was rising, and the glow was sprinkled on the Great Qin Palace.

As soon as the three-way drum passed, the civil and military officials, under the leadership of the Yinban Yushi, walked on the golden steps with the five-clawed golden dragon, and entered the Zichen Palace.

In the ups and downs of the Hongzhong Da Lu, the tiger and leopard roared, the wolf roared, the emperor put on a full guard of honor, dressed in a black dragon robe, wearing a crown of ten yu, with a Longquan sword on his waist, and the palace of Zichen.

Han Zanzhou stood on the side of Danqi, brushed the dust in his hand, raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty ascends to the palace, and hundreds of officials kneel to welcome!" ”

Qin Mu pressed the hilt of the sword and walked out of the apse, and the two palace maids, holding pheasant feather palace fans, accompanied him and stood behind the throne.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Hundreds of officials bowed three times and bowed nine times, and bowed down to the full hall.

Qin Mu stood in front of the throne with the golden dragon coiled, his eyes swept the entire hall through the hanging beads covering his face, and he was slower than before he unfolded his big sleeves and sat down slowly.

"All the ministers are flat!"

"Long live thanks!"

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs got up and retreated to the train, everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor suddenly convened a great court meeting, and deliberately delayed for a moment to let the minister get up, this is in Liwei!

All the ministers hung their heads slightly, and no one dared to look at the dragon chair on the Danqi. A solemn atmosphere permeated the air, which made those officials standing at the end of the squad with low official positions and who were not even qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty on weekdays feel very worried in their hearts, and sweat was faintly visible on their foreheads.

Today, the emperor is wearing a sword in the temple, perhaps not just to send a roar of counterattack to foreign enemies.

Today, whoever dares to oppose him may be "killed" first.

The emperor who had just sat down stood up again, the breeze outside the hall blew in, the black dragon robe on the Dan Qi gently swayed, and the light smoke erupted from the gilded cranes on both sides. made the tall figure on the Danqi a little ethereal.

"I, since the imperial pole, I have been dreaming of sleeping at night and working hard. However, now the four realms are not quiet, and civil strife has broken out again. Some people say that this is because I have lost my benevolence, and the voice of impeachment is endless, and it seems that I will not give up if I cannot make an edict against myself. ”

The voice from the Danqi was calm. But powerful.

At this moment, apart from Qin Mu's voice, there was not even a trace of breathing in the entire Jinluan Hall.

The emperor said so heavily at the beginning that the already apprehensive mood of the ministers in the palace became even heavier.

These days, the waves of criticism are sure to come and go, and although few people dare to point the finger directly at the emperor himself, the most attacked are all those who insist on carrying out the emperor's will. This is actually an indirect attack on the emperor.

How can the edict of sin be lightly issued?

Except for Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who regarded the edict of sin as a commonplace, no emperor would lightly issue an edict of sin.

As the Founding Emperor. The three words of guilt are the biggest taboo.

This is because the edict is a self-denial of the correctness and rationality of the government.

Qin Mu pressed the hilt of his sword and said calmly: "I, I might as well sue you today, I will not issue an edict against myself." Unless. My people say that I should make an edict against myself, or else, don't think about it. ”

Qin Mu's confidence came from the mountain of dragon coins outside the Great Qin Gate. To be more precise, it came from the pair of hands that held up the Great Qin Sky.

With such confidence, his voice is not loud. But it makes people listen to the thunder in a silent place, and their hearts tremble.

"Before the Great Qin Dingding, the reason why we were able to conquer everything and be invincible was because everyone could unite and resist foreign humiliation. But now, in the face of foreign invasion, some people are not thinking about how to fight foreign enemies, but are busy thinking about watching my jokes. ”

The minister replied in horror: "The ministers don't dare! ”

"Don't you dare? When the Dutch invaded, the Mongols invaded, the southwest Tusi was in turmoil, and an urgent letter came, what were you all busy with? Now, sue sù me! ”

Qin Mu finally couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, including Sima An, Lu Zhenfei and other cabinet ministers, all of them fell to the ground in this deep drink.

"I want to be a benevolent monarch, I don't want to do the things that cook rabbits and dead dogs; But don't push me too hard. ”

Qin Mu's words were very serious, but at this time, he could also hear a little sincerity.

The ministers replied one after another: "The ministers don't dare, the ministers will die!" ”

"Today, on this Jinluan Palace, I have only one word for all the invading enemies, insist on fighting back! My attitude has already shown that it is not too late to make amends. Ministers, are you still willing to unite with me to resist foreign humiliation? ”

Of course, no one will jump out and say that I don't want to, and no one wants to die.

In today's court meeting, the emperor is so strong, in addition to the support of public opinion, more importantly, the support of the military.

Whether it is the navy or the army, in this political wave, the position and the emperor are the same. To maintain the dignity of the emperor is to safeguard the military's own interests.

With the support of the military and public opinion, there is a huge consortium hidden from people's attention behind it, and as soon as the emperor speaks, three million dragon coins will be in place immediately.

Recalling Emperor Chongzhen back then, he begged in a low voice several times before he got fifty taels of silver. This is not an emperor of the rank at all!

"Gu Yanwu!"

"Minister Gu Yanwu, listen to His Majesty's instructions."

"I order you to immediately prepare a draft edict to beg the thief and hand it over."

"Obey."

"Retreat!"

The ministers of the full hall were still in shock, Qin Mu had already gotten up, and everyone had to pay respects: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

A great court meeting was dispersed like this, and it was clear that the emperor did not want to discuss anything at this great court meeting, but only to show his authority and attitude. With a strong military spirit and public opinion, let all ministers understand what it means to prosper if you follow me, and perish if you oppose me.

Now that foreign enemies are invading, it is important to fight against foreign humiliation, and at this time, whoever farts one more will bring about their own destruction.

The court meeting dispersed quickly, but the pressure on the ministers' hearts did not dissipate, and when they left the Jinluan Palace, officials at all levels rarely talked to each other, and they were still cautious.

But in everyone's hearts, there are layers of suspicions, the emperor is so scattered, for the next war, has the emperor already made up his mind in his heart?

Just when the ministers were puzzled, a eunuch came out of the Jinluan Palace and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, the foreign ministry squire, and the naval and land army governors, immediately go to the Huagai Hall to discuss matters." ”

When Sima An, Li Yuan and others heard the will, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, fortunately, the emperor did not act rashly because he had the absolute upper hand.

Including other ministers, they were secretly relieved when they heard this holy decree.

Looking back at the majestic and majestic Jinluan Palace, there are also those solemn Han generals and gourd warriors; The flying dragon beast on the high temple ridge is scorching and shining in the sun, the sky is high, the weather is so big, every qiē is so sacrosanct.

Yes, this is Daqin. The sacrosanct Great Qin Dynasty!

The deliberations in the canopy hall were going on nervously, and after the officials of the various ministries returned to the office, they collected their moods and threw themselves into their own work.

The lights of the Ministry of Works are kept on all night.

The lights of the military headquarters were kept on all night.

The lights of the household are kept on all night.

The lights of the Ordnance Prison kept on all night.

The lights of the Governor's Mansion of both the Navy and the Army were lit up all night.

The next day, an edict to beg for thieves was issued from the splendid Great Qin Palace, telling the world: Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away!

This is perhaps the most concise edict ever written. There are only nine words, but what they represent is that in the Great Qin Palace, the Ninety-Five Supreme gave a clear dragon roar.

These days, the city of Nanjing, which is shrouded in the clouds of war and has a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, because of this dragon roar, instantly has a feeling that the clouds have opened and the fog has dispersed, and the golden light is ten thousand ways.

In the market, there are wild teenagers, singing wildly with swords, singing "Qin has a sharp soldier, and the sword has a sharp edge." Black-clothed Xuanjia swept through the Eight Desolations. ”

In the Guozi Prison, there were scholars who wanted to learn from Ban Dingyuan to throw their pen from Rong, and they went to the noon gate to knock and ask the Son of Heaven to approve them to join the army.

There are two Huai eighteen salt merchants, due to the border war and business damage, specially donated 300,000 dragon coins to fund the military, please the Son of Heaven to send the king as soon as possible to calm the border troubles.

There were also 33 maritime merchants, as if they wanted to overwhelm the salt merchants, and offered 800,000 dragon coins at a time as military resources for the Royal Navy, asking the Son of Heaven to pacify the sea frontier as soon as possible.

Merchants were the most shrewd group, and instead of borrowing money from the powerful in the court, the emperor borrowed three million dragon coins from the merchants in one go, and the other merchants immediately smelled something different. They have given generously, and it is only a superficial reason for them to suffer less for their own interests.

But regardless of their intentions, or the emperor's own intention to take the opportunity to elevate the status of merchants, their generosity undoubtedly further boosted public opinion. Whether it is for the ministers of the DPRK and China, or for the military, it is both motivation and pressure.

At this time, there can only be one voice in the whole country, and that is: war!
