Chapter 61: The foundation of the country, the auxiliary government

"...I, the great emperor of tomorrow, am still strong!!"

Emperor Chongzhen's voice echoed in the Huangji Palace. However, most of the officials in the court changed their expressions and raised their heads in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Han Xu couldn't hide his shock. He walked out of the palace holding the imperial scepter, raised his hands and admonished: "Your Majesty is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. How can you easily take risks and leave the capital to go on a personal expedition?"

The battlefield is dangerous and the sword has no eyes. If an accident occurs, it will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Please put the country first and take back this statement!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

At this moment, the Huangji Palace was echoing with the echoing words of countless courtiers. Emperor Chongzhen had just spoken so much. Han Xu and others thought that the emperor wanted to use this grand meeting to remove a group of courtiers.

This makes each of them worry about their own future.

However, things were not what they thought. The emperor actually wanted to go on a personal expedition. This was beyond their expectation, and none of them were mentally prepared.

Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Wen Tiren and other ministers who should have known about it stood there with complicated expressions.

Although Wang Qia, Li Banghua and others also wanted to join the team of remonstrances and persuade the emperor to change his mind, the impassioned words spoken by the emperor just now made them all understand that the emperor was determined to personally conquer the war.

"Didn't you listen to what I just said?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked coldly. He stood on the Dan Majesty, looked at Han Xu and the others, and said: "I am talking to you about this matter in the Huangji Palace. I am not asking for your opinion, but informing you!"

"..."

Han Xu, Li Biao and other court officials all had complicated emotions and different expressions. Many ministers with poor psychological quality were holding Chao Hut's hand and their foreheads were shaking uncontrollably.

What the hell is going on here!

Why has it changed so much?

This is so good, why do you lightly mention the words of the emperor's personal conquest?

These unprepared ministers, including the ministers standing outside the Huangji Palace, really didn't know what to do after learning about this situation.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers in front of him with an indifferent expression, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Of course, I will follow the example of Taizu Emperor Gao, and I am determined to drive and conquer in person, to demonstrate the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and defeat the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty.

But for the sake of our Ming Dynasty, I want to appoint a prince to rectify the country. When I leave the capital to lead the military expedition in person, the prince will supervise the country."

The more I talk about it, the more nonsense it becomes!

The prince you always want to appoint is just a baby boy. How can he supervise the country?

When countless courtiers heard this, they became even more excited. However, when they were excited, Wang Chengen, who had been waiting, held a copy of the imperial edict and said loudly.

"The Emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says: As an emperor, I will serve the ancestors in accordance with the celestial calendar... I will establish a Yuan Chu. Since I became emperor, I have been self-denial and diligent in government, lest the inheritance handed over by my ancestors should be lost in my hands. Today

The country suffered..., the legitimate son Cihong, a virtuous and upright person, with excellent talents... He carried out the ceremony, obeyed the public opinion, and sincerely informed the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. On the second day of the eleventh month of the second year of Chongzhen, Cihong was awarded a book of treasures.

He is established as the crown prince and takes the throne in the East Palace. With a system that lasts for ten thousand years, it ties the heart of the four seas. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are still there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there."

A eloquent edict on establishing the crown prince was read out in front of the civil and military officials of the court, which made many courtiers understand that the emperor's intention to establish the crown prince had been decided.

The matter of establishing a crown prince is originally the most joyful event for the country. It establishes the foundation of the country so that the inheritance of the country can be continued.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's appointment of the crown prince was so hasty, and it was done by the imperial commander himself.

This made the officials unhappy.

Are the emperors who do not listen to their advice still their good emperors?

The thoughts of Han Xu, Li Biao, Qian Longxi and other court officials were so complicated. However, just after the edict to establish the crown prince was read out, Wang Chengen's voice rang out again.

"The emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the order is: Prince Cixi, who is in charge of the country when it is in danger. However, my son is young. In order to uphold the principles of the dynasty, clarify the laws and disciplines, and stabilize the country, I have decided to temporarily appoint seven auxiliary ministers to serve under my command.

During this period, I assisted the prince...

Ministers Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi of the Military Aircraft Department, Chief Assistant Han Xu of the Cabinet, Second Assistant Li Biao, British Duke Zhang Weixian, Minister of Rites Wen Tiren, and Imperial Censor Liu Zongzhou of Zuodu are specially awarded the title of Assistant Minister. I will return to the court in person after victory in the conquest.

!”

"..."

Wang Chengen's voice echoed in the Huangji Palace. However, the ministers standing in the palace, as well as the eunuchs outside the palace who heard about the incident, all looked horrified and couldn't believe the edict.

.

It was really thought-provoking that this was established by the Assistant Minister.

There are remnants of the Eunuch Party, there are Donglin Party members, there are honorary relatives...

The key is that this special military aircraft department is currently in charge of important military aircraft tasks, and Zhang Weixian is in charge of the Beijing camp.

Han Xu, Li Biao and others knew better than anyone else that although they were ranked as assistant ministers, if those people joined forces, their power of assistant government would be severely checked.

"My imperial commander's personal expedition has been decided. The inner court will be headed by the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of rituals, and the governor of the capital will stay behind to protect the capital.

The minister of the Military Aircraft Department who stays in Beijing is responsible for taking charge of important military affairs and completing the orders I issued on the front line.

The capital governor's office dispatched elite troops to accompany him to the battle, including Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Wang Qia and Li Banghua, ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, and Qian Longxi, cabinet minister..."

When the courtiers were shocked by this imperial edict, Emperor Chongzhen seized the opportunity and said loudly: "All the ministers I have appointed above will accompany me to the battle. They will leave Beijing at midnight tomorrow and retreat from the court!"

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't give anyone a chance. He flicked his sleeves and left the palace with his head high and his chest held high. As an emperor, when it's time to act rogue, you have to act rogue.

There are three lines of defense on the outside of Shenjing. It is absolutely impossible to create a big chaos. In this case, let's let you fight dogs in Shenjing.

I will jump out of the encirclement first. Even if Shen Jing fights in the dark, as long as I can fulfill my will, then you can fight however you want.

Cao Huachun, Luo Yangxing, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian, Wen Tiren...

I have torn apart what should be written, crushed it, and told it to you. I have extracted for you all that should be removed and may be the basis for complicity.

If you dare to disappoint me in the end and dare to make me die on the battlefield, then you will all go to hell!

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the exclamations of the ministers in the palace, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. If he couldn't defeat Jianlu this time, then he would start a fight!

Anyway, after more than ten years, it will be difficult to get rid of the fate of hanging on the southeast branch. It is better to let go of the game completely. The big deal is that the country will be ruined at the beginning, and I will go to fight guerrillas!
