"Your Majesty, please let the minister finish his words. Minister...... The Emperor was right. But...... Sometimes, it's not necessarily right to say it! ”

Before Qian Lei finished speaking, Zhu Mingzhong was already furious. He slammed his fist into the dragon case, and the teacup and even the fruit bowl on the case jumped up, and then fell to the ground, shattering in an instant.

"Then tell me, what should I do!"

Glaring at Qian Lei, Zhu Mingzhong asked loudly.

The female officials and palace maids waiting outside the hall heard the movement and all gathered around. But there was no will, and no one dared to go in. In all these years, they had never encountered such a big fire from His Majesty, and if they had put it aside, they would have hurried to the cabinet ministers to ask for persuasion.

However, now that the five cabinet assistants are here, who else can persuade His Majesty, besides, who doesn't know, His Majesty will never be so angry when he is extremely angry.

Gu Yanwu looked at His Majesty's angry and crazy appearance, and he himself was very helpless. He knew that His Majesty's starting point was to care for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but if nothing happened, not only would His Majesty become a joke, but even the prestige of the Ming Dynasty would be lost.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yanwu said in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter certainly involves the safety of tens of millions of Ming people, but Your Majesty thinks that if the imperial court issues an early warning and makes the people of Shandong temporarily live in the shed, if there is an earthquake, the people of the world will naturally be grateful to Your Majesty, but what if not? At that time, how many people will understand His Majesty's love for the people? At that time, I am afraid that not only will Your Majesty's majesty be lost, but I am afraid that the prestige of the Imperial Court will also be lost......"

The more Gu Yanwu spoke, the louder he became, and he even said excitedly in the end.

"Your Majesty, maybe Your Majesty has the ability to reach the heavens and can detect earthquakes, but the ministers think that there is no need to inform the people of this matter and make the subjects of the world panic, after all...... The prestige of the imperial court is more important! ”

"Then in my name!"

Zhu Mingzhong stared at Gu Yanwu and said.

"I ordered the local government to put up notices so that the people could prepare for the earthquake."

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

As soon as Zhu Daxian heard His Majesty's plan, he immediately stopped it loudly. He didn't speak just now because he wanted to rely on others to stop His Majesty, but who would have thought that His Majesty wanted to go his own way.

"I think this matter must not be done!"

Wu Youcai also followed. Four of the five cabinet assistants have already spoken out against it, and they have all good reasons for opposing - the prestige of the imperial court, and of course, the fear of causing panic among the people.

It was also at this time that everyone set their eyes on Du Yide, unlike the other four, Huang Ji's background was not glorious, he was a Jinshi when he was Chongzhen. In the first year of Shunzhi in the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, he was recommended by Song Quan, the governor of Shuntian, and awarded the Chinese calligraphy. Later, until the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, the crown prince was added to the title, and he was soon seized the title due to incidents. In the same year, he was promoted to Shangshu.

According to such a background, it is impossible to do the cabinet auxiliary, but a few years ago, when the officials of the Qing Dynasty were asked to abandon the dark and surrender to the Ming, when the Ming Dynasty only occupied Jiangnan, Du Lide, who was already an official to Shangshu, abandoned the official and fled from Beijing, and moved to Jiangnan, although at that time, both Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Mingzhong had intended to stay in the curtain, but he chose Yongli, and he went to serve in the Wannian Imperial Court.

The reason why Wang Zhongxiao recommended him was to stabilize people's hearts, after all, at least fifty percent of the officials in the Ming court have stains, and Du Lide's entry into the cabinet is, to a certain extent, indicating that the court will not be held accountable.

It is precisely because he understands this that although Du Little is a cabinet minister, he rarely expresses his position, and he often just follows the crowd and follows the mainstream decisions.

But now, when the eyes of the other four ministers and His Majesty were on him, he knew that he could no longer follow the crowd as before.

"Doolittle, you say, what should I do? Do you think I should turn a blind eye? ”

"I thought I thought I was ......"

In hesitation, Du Yide was bitter in his heart, on one side was the emperor, on the other side was the minister, what should he do now?

Looking at Du Lide, who was squeaking and unable to speak, Zhu Mingzhong said on the side:

"Doolittle, you know. I started from the grass back then, if I had all the scruples, I am afraid that I would have been a Shunmin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty a long time ago, wandering the rivers and lakes, with that little medical skill, I would be at ease when I wanted to, but if that was the case, what was the difference between it and the walking dead, I went to Jiangyin to join the army, not to restore the world of my Zhu family, but to my Ming people, for my people as people, not as slaves of foreign races......"

Zhu Mingzhong is telling the truth, in fact, back then, he did not expect today, at that time, his only idea was to resist as much as he could, and even set a plan to open up Taiwan from the very beginning, that is, to flee to Taiwan in the future, or even to the Philippines, for what?

In order to preserve a glimmer of hope for Chinese civilization, so that Chinese civilization will not become unrecognizable because of the enslavement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Of course, it is also for the future counteroffensive, even if there is no chance at the time of the "Three Feudatories", after the "Opium War", when the rule of the Manchu Qing is no longer able to maintain, perhaps, his descendants will have the opportunity to restore Chinese civilization.

Even at that time, the biggest dream in his heart was to restore the Great Tomorrow, whether it was Yongli or someone else, whoever could be the emperor, as long as he could restore China. At that time, his idea was so simple, but he didn't expect that he would become the emperor in the end.

Perhaps, now that Zhu Mingzhong has become the emperor, maybe he wants to do everything possible to maintain the rule of the Zhu family, but it does not mean that he will give up his heart, just like now, he can't sit back and watch everything happen.

Tancheng earthquake!

With his memory, Zhu Mingzhong finally remembered where the earthquake happened, it was Tancheng in Shandong! The earthquake was the strongest ever recorded inside the eastern plate of Chinese mainland, and the damage caused by the earthquake was unimaginable.

Maybe only a few words are used to describe it in history, but Zhu Mingzhong, who experienced the Wenchuan earthquake, did not dare to imagine how miserable those earthquakes would be after the earthquake.

Whether he was sitting as an emperor or as an ordinary person, he couldn't sit back and watch all this happen without stopping him.

Although he did not know the time, judging from the disappearance of Zhu Mingzhong, it was possible to see that an earthquake would occur in the near future, which was why he wanted the imperial court to issue a warning. But compared to him, the ministers thought completely differently, firstly because they did not believe it, because no one could predict earthquakes throughout the ages, and secondly, because they felt that this matter had an impact on the prestige of the imperial court. If the earthquake had not occurred, then the imperial court would have lost its prestige.

Naturally, they will do their best to oppose it.

"At that time, I didn't have any worries, and the people I thought about were nothing more than the people of the world! Well, since you all think that the prestige of the imperial court will be lost, then I will order the government in Shandong and the surrounding 200 miles to urge the people to temporarily live in the courtyard and ...... wilderness."

"Your Majesty......"

Without waiting for Gu Yanwu to speak, Zhu Mingzhong said angrily.

"Why, can't I even issue this decree?"

The decree is that the emperor issued a personal order from the court or an edict cannot be approved by the cabinet normally, so it can only be directly handed over to the relevant institutions for implementation, which is also a manifestation of the conflict between the court and the court, so for a long time, Zhu Mingzhong rarely issued a decree, and what he issued was often only related to the royal family or the clan, and rarely related to the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, this is a chaotic order!"

Doolittle, who had been silent, gritted his teeth and said,

When he said this, he only felt a cold sweat on his back, although the Ming Emperor was not as indiscriminate as the Manchu Emperor, but after saying this, he still thought of countless possibilities.

"Your Majesty......"

"Good...... Very good! ”

Zhu Mingzhong, who was very angry, stared at Du Lide, he couldn't believe his ears, he was such a person from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he dared to say that this was a mess.

"Do you all want to say that this is a chaotic life, and you don't obey the edict!"

After the five ministers were reprimanded by His Majesty like this, they all hung their heads, maybe His Majesty could have a seizure, but what they thought was true - this chaotic life, the ministers did not dare to serve!

Although no one spoke, they chose to be silent and answered.

"Ministers, please take back your order!"

Without waiting for Gu Yanwu to finish speaking, Zhu Mingzhong roared angrily.

"Get out, get out of here!"

Zhu Mingzhong, who was furious, just wanted to drive them out at this time, and he didn't want to worry about this nest in his heart. He couldn't figure out whether he was too tolerant of them because he was obviously the emperor, and he dared not obey the edict one by one.

Don't they know that millions of lives are at stake?

Seeing His Majesty's angry appearance, Gu Yanwu, Zhu Daxian, Qian Lei, Wu Youcai and Du Lide were also depressed in their hearts, Your Majesty is such a shrewd and capable person, why is he unreasonable in this matter? Don't Your Majesty know that they are wholeheartedly thinking about the country and the people, and it is good to want to save the people, but if the prestige of the court is lost, how can they benefit the people.

As His Majesty's close maid, Ning Yunting also felt His Majesty's anger, and of course knew the original intention of the five cabinet ministers. The reason why they are like this is also for the court, for Your Majesty, and of course, for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yun Ting, give me a decree to make the governor of Shandong Province ......"

Seeing that His Majesty was angry and asked herself to draw up a decree, Ning Yunting, as a female official, was not suitable to speak, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said.

"Your Majesty, what a few ministers said is good, if Your Majesty orders the government not to allow people to live in their homes, it is really a chaotic life, and the ministers think that if so, they might as well change their words......"
