When Wu Fan came to the Imperial Palace, the civil and military ministers in the court had already arrived, this time the court meeting was different from the last time, the last court meeting because of Zhu Youlin's rumors to confuse the public, coupled with the fact that Emperor Chongzhen was mean to others, so that the ministers' hearts were floating and scattered into a plate of scattered sand. And since Wu Fan replaced Chongzhen, he roared like thunder on the Golden Palace for the first time, scolding the ministers for being vulgar, but let the ministers see the courage and determination of Wu Fan and B City and Daming to die together.

The second unpredictable prophet's sudden order to transfer troops to extinguish the disaster before the thieves wanted to set fire to the city made the ministers see Wu Fan's shrewd and ruthless side. In addition, during this period of time, Wu Fan has reversed Chongzhen's performance of fighting for power with the courtiers, but has delegated all the powers, unless there is a major event, otherwise he will draw a circle on the fold and not add a word of criticism, which makes these ministers feel that they have encountered a Ming Jun who has never been met for a long time.

All of the above made the unity among the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty at this time inexplicably reached an unprecedented height, so after learning that the anti-thief Li Zicheng had come to the outskirts of City B, no one panicked, and all the courtiers who were qualified to go to the Golden Palace participated in the court meeting, which can be regarded as Wu Fan's crooked attack and inadvertently established unprecedented prestige among the ministers.

Wu Fan sat on the dragon chair, listening to the sound of the Qunchen Mountain shouting long live, and his eyes narrowed proudly, cool, well, the feeling of this dragon chair is cool!

Because the contact between Wu Fan and Li Zicheng is a secret, except for Wang Chengen, Li Jiantai, who is still outside the capital, knows about it, and even Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, important ministers of the court, have not heard a trace of rumors, so after seeing Wu Fan, Fan Jingwen will go out first.

"Your Majesty, I think you already know that the army of the anti-thief Li Zicheng has come to the outskirts of the capital, and it is especially hateful that Li Jiantai's army stationed in Baoding Mansion actually came all the way with Li Zicheng's anti-army, and the old minister thought that Li Jiantai had fallen willingly and surrendered to Li Zicheng. The minister affirmed that His Majesty issued an order to the king of Qin, summoning all the kings of the world to quickly come to the capital to relieve the siege. Lao Chen used his surname to guarantee that the capital would be free within half a year. ”

Before Fan Jingwen's words fell, a large group of ministers came out together, and played to Wu Fan in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Before Wu Fan could reply, Li Banghua came out of the class with an angry face: "Your Majesty, Li Jiantai is a great rebel and an unforgivable crime, and the minister asks Your Majesty to issue a decree to execute Li Jiantai's entire family to set an example!" ”

A large group of Yushi Hulala behind Li Banghua stood up and demanded that Li Jiantai's nine clans be killed together.

Wang Chengen watched behind Wu Fan as the ministers of the court and the central government indignantly asked for all kinds of issues such as defending the city, asking for help, punishing rebels, and killing rebels, and couldn't help but look behind Wu Fan with his eyes, and his heart was full of reverence for Wu Fan and contempt for these courtiers: What are you making a fuss about? How do you know that when you don't know how to deal with Li Zicheng's army, the emperor has already begun to plan how to recruit Li Zicheng, even if you can talk about the lotus flower, how can you compare to the emperor's own armor in his chest.

Wu Fan secretly held back a smile, watching the ministers of the court and the central government offer suggestions one after another, this feeling is very interesting, it is obvious that the matter has been resolved, but there are still such people who are anxious about this matter, which makes Wu Fan feel a little like watching a big show.

After all the people had spoken, and everything that could be said was finished, Wu Fan said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your feelings very well, but there are some things you haven't understood yet. In order to let you understand what happened, today I will take you to Yongding Gate to see with your own eyes what is so great about Li Zicheng's soldiers. ”

Wu Fan's words suddenly made all the ministers tremble, and Fan Jingwen stood in front of the golden step with a flushed face, waved his arms at Wu Fan and said: "Your Majesty, the state has anti-thieves, and the responsibility is not on the monarch but on the ministers, and it is the ministers who are ineffective, resulting in chaos in the world and the rise of displaced people.

Now that the thief Li Zicheng is coming to the capital, the ministers will definitely defend the city, and they will definitely wait for the arrival of King Qin's army. When you go to the city gate, you will face the rebels, and there are many dangers, and your Majesty will not be able to wade into danger lightly. ”

Li Banghua also faced Wu Fan with a calm face and was about to speak, Wu Fan stood up from the golden dragon throne, and looked unusually amiable with a smile: "Hehe, all Aiqing, since I ascended the throne, I have never done anything angry and resentful, but it still makes the world of my Ming Dynasty full of smoke." During this time, I have also been thinking about how to govern the world in an orderly manner like my Ming Taizu Taizong, so that my Ming people can live and work in peace and contentment.

This Li Zicheng can also be regarded as a talent, with the original little pawn, in just ten years, he rose in the grass, and the handsome Jingcong around him swept half of my country, I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what this Li Zicheng looks like? Listen to Li Zicheng for himself, why did he want to rebel? Today, he Li Zicheng came to the capital, and I happened to see it with my own eyes and listen to it with my own ears, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes. Ladies and gentlemen, today I invite you to climb the city tower with me and accompany me to meet Li Zicheng! ”

This passage was not thought up by Wu Fan himself, it was the draft that Su Banxian Su Zhenhai secretly gave to Wang Chengen during the private meeting with Li Zicheng, and the speech was finally finalized after Wang Chengen took several chief eunuchs to revise it for two days.

Su Banxian told Wu Fan that if Li Zicheng's acceptance of Zhao'an can be properly interpreted, then it will definitely become a shocking event, laying a solid foundation for Wu Fan to stabilize the Ming Dynasty and the opposition and achieve an unswerving foundation in the future. So, although Wu Fan was unwilling, he still tried his best to memorize a few lines that might be used, of course, Wu Fan did not completely memorize by rote, and what he said was much more popular.

Wu Fan held his head high and separated the ministers who came to block, and walked towards the outside of the Imperial Palace, Wang Chengen followed behind Wu Fan with a solemn face, and from time to time helped Wu Fan push away the courtiers who were blocking him, and walked firmly outside the palace together.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua glanced at each other, at this time in the capital, the two of them can basically be regarded as the heads of the civil and military ministers, even if there are still a few official positions or titles above the two of them, but they do not have the prestige of the two of them among the courtiers.

Both of them saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes, and they didn't need to say anything, since the emperor decided to climb the city tower to face the thieves, as a courtier, he could only be by his side, even if there was really any danger, even if he used his body to block it, he also had to ensure the emperor's safety.

Fan Jingwen, Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, Wang Jiayan, Meng Zhaoxiang and other courtiers who were absolutely loyal to Wu Fan silently followed behind Wu Fan and walked towards the outside of the palace together. Some courtiers who were originally going to desperately stop Wu Fan from going out, seeing the performance of Fan Jingwen and others, were stunned for a moment, and no longer tried to stop Wu Fan, they also joined Fan Jingwen and their team, silently following behind Wu Fan.

The most peculiar and spectacular scene of the Ming Dynasty appeared, headed by the emperor Wu Fan of the current dynasty, and the officials of the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty who reached the rank of five or more all lined up behind Wu Fan in two columns, and came out from the Chengtian Gate, neatly and solemnly. Not to mention that the ordinary people who saw this scene were stunned, even the well-informed guards who had been on guard duty at Chengtianmen all year round were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Of course, Wu Fan will definitely not lead the ministers to Yongding Gate like this, the capital is so big, and when he walks to Yongding Gate, I am afraid that it will be dark, as long as he walks out of the palace, there will naturally be a dragon and a large number of carriages arranged by Wang Chengen in advance for Wu Fan and the courtiers behind him to ride.

Li Banghua deliberately wanted to share the car with Fan Jingwen, so naturally he had something to discuss with Fan Jingwen. After getting into the car, Li Banghua arched his hand: "Quality, it seems that there is something wrong with the emperor's performance today, there should be something hidden from us." A few days ago, you uprooted the brocade guards in the capital in one fell swoop, is it related to today's incident? ”

It turned out that the possibility of King Min's rebellion was too important, and after Fan Jingwen reported to Wu Fan, he blocked the news, and even Li Banghua, who was the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate, did not hear the slightest rumor, only knew that Fan Jingwen suddenly surrounded and suppressed the Jinyi Guard in the capital by holy order, and he didn't know anything else.

Fan Jingwen shook his head Li Banghua said: "Lord Li, it's not that you are old and refuse to tell you, it is true that the emperor has a strict decree, and the matter of Jinyiwei cannot be spread outside." But I can assure you that the matter of Jin Yiwei has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening today. However, it is certain that the emperor arranged some things behind our backs, and when the ministers made trouble in the Golden Palace, I didn't pay much attention to it, and it was only later that I reacted.

Li Jiantai and Master Li were obviously stationed in Baoding Mansion with troops, why did they suddenly appear in the capital? Later, Li Jiantai did not return to his home at all, but came out of the palace and returned to Baoding directly. At that time, I suspected that Li Jiantai had a secret decree from the emperor. This time, the rebel army pressed the capital, Li Jiantai not only did not resist, but instead followed the rebel army as if he was watching, that is, he did not start a war or surrender, what was going on here, but I could not guess it. ”

Fan Jingwen's words caused Li Banghua to nod frequently, Li Banghua has countless imperial histories of the Inspectorate as his eyes and ears, and naturally he will only get more information than Fan Jingwen, and he has long been aware of Li Jiantai's abnormal actions, and Li Banghua has already prepared a chapter to prepare for Li Jiantai's delay in the fighter, and he is not sincere about the king's affairs. It's just that he didn't expect Li Zicheng to act so quickly, and before he could hand over the recital, he had already sent troops to the capital, and Li Jiantai not only did not resist, but also seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Li Zicheng, and the two troops came outside the capital at the same time.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua due to the lack of intelligence, the two discussed all the way but failed to figure out what Wu Fan wanted to do, and when the carriage stopped, the two glanced at each other, each nodded slightly, pushed the door and walked the carriage, since they couldn't guess what was going on, then just wait for the ending.

After Wu Fan came to Yongding Gate and got off the dragon bowl, he didn't wait for others, and walked straight down the stone steps to the top of the city tower. The ministers behind him got out of the carriage, still followed Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, and boarded the Yongding Gate Tower together.
