Chapter 60 The Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies

On the second day of October in the second year of Chongzhen, it was the third quarter of Shenshi.

"Pah, pah..."

The crisp sound of quiet whips echoed outside the Huangji Hall. Officials of fifth rank and above in Beijing, wearing various official robes and decorated with different patches, gathered inside and outside the Huangji Hall.

At that time, in the Huangji Hall, all the senior officials standing in the imperial court held imperial huts in their hands. Each of them had different expressions, and they were secretly wondering what was going on when the emperor passed down the oral instructions, opened the Huangji Hall, and convened a large court meeting.

.

Different from the Shuowang Dynasty and the Chang Dynasty, since the Ming Dynasty, the Great Dynasty Meeting was the most formal court meeting of the country. It could not be held except in the Huangji Palace, and it could not be held except for important events of the country.

Under the current situation, Emperor Chongzhen made such a fuss, which made many ministers in the court not know what the emperor wanted to do.

"Your Majesty has arrived~"

Wang Chengen's voice echoed in the Huangji Hall, while the eunuchs waiting outside the hall were singing the song. This made all the officials standing inside and outside the Huangji Hall stand solemnly holding the imperial scepter.

Emperor Chongzhen walked slowly towards the dragon chair, his expression showing no joy or sorrow. At that time, the Huangji Hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle could be heard.

"kneel!"

When Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers standing in the court, Wang Chengen walked a few steps forward, wearing a red robe and python suit that was particularly eye-catching, and said loudly.

The court officials headed by Han Xu knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" "Long live!" "Long live!"

Looking at the ministers kneeling in front of them and Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes were shining, but he was filled with emotion in his heart.

Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, he wakes up and holds the power of the world.

Under the imperial power, the whole world bows at his feet!

No wonder everyone wants to sit on this sacred and majestic dragon chair.

"All the ministers are equal!"

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said calmly.

"Long live thanks!"

In the Huangji Palace, the courtiers who were bowing down and bowing their heads stood up one after another and stood uniformly among the court officials.

"I think many people are wondering why I suddenly issued an oral order and held a court meeting in the Huangji Hall." Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, straightened his back, and said loudly.

The voice of Emperor Chongzhen echoed in the huge Huangji Hall.

Han Xu, Li Biao, Qian Longxi and many other ministers stood at the head of the court with different expressions, trying to answer their doubts through what Emperor Chongzhen said.

Seeing the changes in the demeanor of the court officials, Emperor Chongzhen paused for a moment and said loudly: "The reason for this is that I have something to announce."

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards Lord Dan in front of the dragon throne. This sudden move aroused doubts in the hearts of many ministers.

"Since mid-October, the face of the Ming Dynasty has been completely torn to pieces. Why? The Jianlu captives who have always been wreaking havoc in Liaodong actually bypassed the Liaoqian defense line, passed through Mongolia, and rushed to the Daming Pass."

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses Jianlu gathered, but this move shocked the country and the people of the capital. I, the emperor of tomorrow, feel ashamed!"

Emperor Chongzhen's voice echoed in the Huangji Palace, but the ministers standing there lowered their heads one by one, showing different expressions.

No one expected that the emperor would mention this matter during a grand meeting in the Huangji Palace. This is something that the current Ming Dynasty does not want to delve into.

"Why are they all lowering their heads? It turns out I'm not the only one who feels ashamed. Haha, I thought none of you were ashamed."

Emperor Chongzhen stood on top of His Majesty Dan, with his hands hanging down, his gaze like a torch scanning the ministers standing in the palace, revealing a bit of self-deprecating laughter.

This question made countless ministers become depressed.

"I don't want to mention the matters in Liaodong at the moment, but the important passes such as Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, Xifengkou, etc. were conquered by Jianlu in just a few days. It really made me open. It’s blinding!”

"Shame!!!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who seemed to be talking to himself, shouted angrily, which shocked all the ministers standing in the palace. This feeling was too painful.

"I know that many of you are dissatisfied. You feel that I am no longer enlightened, that I no longer just listen to what is said, and that I have become self-willed and arbitrary."

"A special military aircraft department is in charge of important military affairs, and the British government is ordered to rectify the Beijing camp, order the Dongchang, Jin Yiwei arrests Xiaoxiao, and a special Jingwei Dudufu..."

Emperor Chongzhen walked back and forth on the altar, as if he were strolling in the courtyard, but the ministers gathered in the palace did not even dare to take a breath.

say what?

What to refute?

With thunderous momentum, Jianlu broke through the outer defenses of Jizhen, entered the pass, surrounded Zunhua City, and shocked the country. These are all real things that happened.

"But I tell you clearly that I am not afraid of any of you being dissatisfied!"

Emperor Chongzhen flicked his robe sleeves, looked cold and stern, and shouted in a deep voice: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the common ruler of this world. The country is experiencing sudden changes. If I don't care, then who else can!"

Who else is more qualified than me to take care of this!?"

Emperor Chongzhen's powerful aura caused Han Xu, Li Biao, Qian Longxi and other ministers to tremble subconsciously when they held Chaohu's hand.

The emperor has changed...

Once upon a time, the emperor who ruled the country, who was diligent, self-denial, listened to advice, humble and friendly, has changed...

Many ministers felt sad in their hearts.

"Since Emperor Taizu, Emperor Gao, rose up in troubled times as a commoner, ended the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and restored the world to a bright and prosperous world, we, the Ming Dynasty, have been dominating China."

Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the Danbi, and said with emotion or lamentation: "During this period, I, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, have not experienced foreign invasions.

Whenever the country is in turmoil, there are always capable ministers and people with lofty ideals who come forward to protect the Ming Dynasty, turn the tide, and truly explain it with actions.

My Ming Dynasty will not make peace! No compensation! No land! No tribute! The emperor will guard the country! The king will die in the country!"

When speaking this sentence, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly every time he took a step down. The sound echoed in the Huangji Palace and never dissipated for a long time.

Looking at the ministers with different expressions in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "In the past few days, I have often thought of Emperor Taizu Gao in my mind.

If he were still alive, what would he have done when faced with such a turbulent situation in the country?!

I figured it out today.

According to his old man's temperament, he will definitely lead the army in person, command the heroes of our Ming Dynasty, hold the sword in his hand, wield the firearm in his hand, and fight the foreign enemies who invade my territory of the Ming Dynasty in a bloody battle with real swords and guns!

Therefore... I am determined to go on a personal expedition to Sanhe, sit on the front line, and fight with real swords and spears against the invaders who invade our territory of the Ming Dynasty!
