Above the court, the debate became fierce again, but it was obvious that there were too few people on Zhu Jie's side, Fang Yuegong, Sun Chuanting, at most plus Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, and Huang Daozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, together there were no more than eight people, but what about the others, there were dozens of people in the court, all of them were in the same tone, and the rectification of military affairs in Nanjing must be suspended and Zhu Jie recalled!

What's more, the ministers represented by Wei Zaode even demanded that Zhu Jie be investigated, at least remove him from all his duties and positions, and only retain the title of Duke of Zhenguo!

Even if Fang Yuegong and the others were covered in mouths, they couldn't withstand the siege of so many people, and even Fang Yuegong was already sprayed with foaming stars......

"Hmmm! Silence, silence! ”

Chongzhen rubbed his temples fiercely and shouted, "What have you all become?" Is there still a bit of the prestige of the court? Darn! ”

The courtiers above the court all wilted down, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, the emperor was already angry!

"Your Majesty, please also issue an edict to investigate and deal with the Zhenguo Gong, and restore the city of Nanjing to peace!"

After all, Wei Zaode is different from others, this is Chongzhen's favorite minister, and he is also the first auxiliary minister of the dynasty, although his qualifications are still shallow, but his position is extremely important.

Chongzhen's face was gloomy, and he shouted, "Shut up! Wei Zaode, you just want to investigate, investigate! Have you ever thought about how much Zhenguo Gong has done for the imperial court in the past few years? Out of the fan, the whole army, the clarification of the rule of officials, the open source, the encirclement and suppression, which one is not the work of the world? Extraordinary people, you have to use extraordinary methods, you let me limit the death of the Zhenguo Gong, then he is hindered everywhere, what should I do with the Ming Dynasty? The treasury is empty, you go and find me money? At the moment of a strong enemy, you lead your troops to fight? The officials are corrupt, you are going to rectify the dynasty for me? You'd rather straighten one out for me to see! ”

The cold sweat on Wei Zaode's forehead couldn't help but come out, wiped it, it seems that he really angered the emperor, I'm going to lead the troops to fight? Just kidding, Lao Tzu is not so stupid, the pain of bumps, the weight of life and death, let me play, dream!

"Yes, yes, the emperor forgives the sin, it is the minister who lost his word!"

Wei Zaode didn't dare to stiffen his head anymore, and hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all ministers of the imperial court, I don't require each of you to have the world-class talent like Zhu Jie, and the manpower is short and long, and you can't force it, but I want you to have the courage to take on the responsibility of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he can also be like you, holding the title of the Duke of Zhenguo without worry, and live a good life!" As long as he wanted to, he really believed that in less than three or five years, he would even be able to rival the country, and even have more wealth than the treasury of the imperial court, but did he do this? You all know the intrigue, the eggs are picky, what happened to the Nanjing City mutiny? Shen Ke must use fierce medicine, and Wentang slow fire is useful? Then the lords of Nanjing City are so easy to obey? With me here, the nobles in the capital dare to jump out and fight against Zhu Jie, not to mention Nanjing City, which is two thousand miles away from the capital? Which of you dares to pat your chest and say that you can train the 14th Guard of Nanjing into an elite like the Tianwei Army or the Guanning Iron Cavalry, I will immediately transfer back to Zhu Jie and let you take office! ”

The ministers in the court shrank their necks one after another, or forget it, let's go to Nanjing? Won't we be the target of the public? Those dozens of lords are not something we can deal with, even if they don't become the target of public criticism, what will happen to the light and dust after the past? Your Majesty, will you let us live happily in Nanjing? How can it be?

"But!"

Li Banghua said astringently: "Your Majesty, it is true that the Zhenguo Gong has made outstanding achievements, is talented, and is also brave, but this does not mean that he has committed a crime, and he can be exempted from punishment. And now that the mutiny has broken out, the impact is even worse, the emperor, if you don't punish it, how can you convince the public? ”

Chongzhen glared at Li Banghua fiercely, this old guy has talent, but his brain is too rigid, won't he turn a corner?

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Lord Li, even if you want to punish and investigate, you have to give Zhenguo Gong a chance to distinguish, where did the information you got come from?" Our military department hasn't received the relevant music yet, how did you get the news first? Is this information accurate? Where did the news come from? Is it verified? Is someone maliciously framing him? ”

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, two essences flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Li Banghua, the military department has not yet received the music from Zhu Jie or the Nanjing military department, where did your news come from?" Without a concert, you dare to impeach the important ministers of the court, are you guilty? ”

Li Banghua was taken aback, and he was in a hurry, but he ignored this matter.

"Your Majesty, the minister got the news from Li Yuzhi, the squire of the military department, and now it has been spread among the ministers, as for the concert in Nanjing, I am afraid that now the prince of Zhenguo is still doing his best to deal with the mutiny, and he has no energy to write the concerto, right?"

Li Banghua hurriedly replied.

"What about you?"

Chongzhen's cold eyes looked at the others, Wei Zaode and others secretly complained, this time they were in trouble, they were in a hurry to participate in the impeachment, and they forgot the time, it was not Nanjing's recital, just relying on hearsay, chasing the wind and catching shadows, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sent out to impeach important ministers, this matter is the most taboo by the emperor......

"You all speak to me, where did you get this news! The military department has not received any urgent reports and recitals, where did you come from! ”

Chongzhen was really angry and roared angrily.

The important ministers in the court were all frightened, the anger of the Son of Heaven was not so easy to resist, and now the emperor asked, where did the news come from? Qian Qianyi's news? How did Qian Qianyi get to the capital? Just entering Beijing without permission is enough for Qian Qianyi to be dismissed and exiled!

Chongzhen was furious, okay, the dog said, you all have no solid basis, just rely on rumors, dare to impeach the dignified Guogong? It's really the other way around!

"You guys! You guys! ”

Chongzhen finally suppressed the anger in his heart, what should I do? What to do with this group of people? What to do? The law does not blame the public, is it possible to dismiss all these people? So how does the imperial court still work? Pick a scapegoat? But in the face of Li Banghua, Chongzhen is really a little unable to do it, this courtier is really clean-sleeved, fair and honest, and if he is punished, there will be even fewer people in the court......
