On the morning of February 27, the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen, hundreds of officials had different expressions, each with a ghost. However, what came to the ears of the monarchs and ministers at the court meeting was not the music of the Jiaofang Division, but the rumbling cannons outside the city.

Since last night, the Jiangbei Army and more than 100,000 local troops have surrounded the capital and begun to attack the city. The mortars of the Jiangbei Army were very sharp, and they constantly threw flower shells at the head of the city of Beijing. Fortunately, there are more than 1,000 artillery pieces of various colors at the head of the capital, which can fight back to the Jiangbei army.

It's just that the small cannons on the head of the city are shooting solid bullets. Although the cannon could open the flower shell, it could not be projectile at a large elevation angle, and it could not blow up the trenches dug by the Jiangbei Army outside the city. However, the mortar shells of the Jiangbei Army could be bombed one after another at the head of the city of Beijing.

If this continues, it will not take a few days, and the Beijing camp guards on the city wall will probably collapse.

Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, had not slept well for many days, and sat on the throne with a pale face, looking at the courtiers who were eager to move.

The civil servants are clearly going to attack.

Originally, as a member of the gentry and as the spokesmen of the gentry, the civil officials were naturally opposed to the change of the law by the Son of Heaven and naturally supported the Jiangbei Army. In the past, they did not dare to speak out, because they were afraid that the new army of the Son of Heaven would be powerful. But now that the battle situation outside the capital is here, seeing that Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui are about to enter the capital, the civil officials in this court are naturally tempted.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne and looked over, and what he saw was a face that was no longer submissive and obedient, but was about to attack.

If Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui enter the capital to control, they will make a full contribution to the gentry of the world. If the civil officials in the court can't assist in the breaching of the capital, then after Shi Kefa enters the city, it will be too faceless.

Obviously, the civil servants in the court are going to make trouble.

As soon as the officials of Honglu Temple announced the start of the court meeting, there was an urgent vanguard among the civil officials.

"Jia Sanwei, the squire of the Ministry of Ministers, has something to say."

Without waiting for the officials of Honglu Temple to allow him to speak, Jia Sanwei grabbed Bai loudly and said: "Son of Heaven, it is useless to say anything at this time, quickly open the city gate and surrender!" Now the government and the opposition are saying that the Son of Heaven is not virtuous, and the call to welcome King Lu has risen sharply. If the Son of Heaven can change his former disobedience to the Ministry of History and War at such a critical moment, he will still be able to keep the throne! ”

Hearing Jia Sanwei's words, Baiguanmen was in high spirits, and they all looked at Zhu Youzhen.

Since Shi Kefa forced to the capital, there have been various voices in the court, saying that Zhu Youzhen would be abolished and King Lu should be established as the emperor. The king of Nalu was close to Shilin, obedient to the gentry, and was known as a virtuous person. The civil officials all spread that after Shi Kefa led the army into Beijing this time, he wanted to support King Lu as the king.

When this voice came out, the Jiangbei Army's attempt was not just as simple as Qingjun's side. If Shi Kefa abolishes the establishment with the support of civil officials, I am afraid that the world will be completely controlled by the gentry in the future.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne and his face was pale. After more than 20 years on the throne, Zhu Youzhen felt that the throne was so shaky for the first time.

Zhang Guanghang, a scholar of Dongge University, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. He trembled with anger, pointed at Jia Sanwei and scolded: "Bold Jia Sanwei, you are so bold, you are threatening the throne of the Holy Lord." Do you know that this is the sin of the Nine Clans? ”

The civil officials on both sides of the Imperial Palace looked at Zhang Guanghang with sideways eyes, but none of them were afraid of the "Nine Clans".

What time is it? The Jiangbei Army was about to enter the city. The gentry and officials in the world all hated the Son of Heaven for changing the law, and no one was diligent to the king. Li Zhi, the only one who could be the king of Qin, was attacked by foreign forces from the north and south, and he was too busy to take care of himself.

The so-called city head changes the king's flag, maybe who will be the emperor in a month! Now hurry up to the Jiangbei Army, and in the future, you will be able to seek important positions in the imperial court dominated by Shi Kefa.

As for Zhu Youzhen, a son of heaven who has no military power and no hope, will either be deposed or controlled, who will be afraid of him?

Dong Jiuqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up.

"There is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust! Now it is not Shi Kefa who is rebelling, but the 200,000 troops of the three provinces are rebelling, and the whole world is rebelling. The immorality of the Son of Heaven can be described as very much! ”

Pointing at Zhang Guanghang suddenly, Dong Jiuqi shouted:

"Zhang Guanghang, you have been perverse to the Son of Heaven all these years, and you have implemented evil laws to bring disaster to the world. You are the culprit in the current situation, and you still dare to come out and be arrogant? ”

As soon as Dong Jiuqi's words came out, they aroused the hatred of the Manchu civil and military forces. These big officials watched Zhang Guanghang betray the gentry of the world and rise from a petty official to a cabinet elder, which was a stomach full of resentment. At this time, the Jiangbei Army was about to break through the city, and all the officials felt that it was time to liquidate Zhang Guanghang.

Zhao Guangqing, the secretary of the ministry, shouted loudly: "Son of Heaven, at this time, it is not too late to open the city to welcome Shi Kefa into the city. Shang can keep the throne of the Son of Heaven! ”

Hearing Zhao Guangqing's words, Wang Chengen's eyes widened angrily, and his whole person seemed to explode.

"You guys! Do you still have a hint of decency in your eyes? ”

However, Wang Chengen's words were ignored by no one at all.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne weakly, and the whole person was in great anxiety. Now that the Jiangbei Army is about to break the city, Zhu Youzhen now feels like someone has a knife on his neck, even if he has great ambitions, he can't help but have some bogeys.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, Wang Heze, the young secretary of Dali Temple, suddenly shouted loudly: "We killed Zhang Guanghang with one punch to prove our will!" ”

Hearing the words of this civil official, everyone looked at Zhang Guanghang viciously.

Seeing that, everyone was about to swing their old fists and hit Zhang Guanghang.

It is not without precedent for the Ming Dynasty to fight in the court. For example, the recent case of moving the palace, that is, the minister lifted his sleeves and did it. For example, in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the ministers actually beat Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to death in front of Zhu Qiyu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and also chased and beat Zhu Qiyu, who played the role of the Son of Heaven at that time.

Zhang Guanghang has been a sycophant in these years and promoted the change of the law, which can be said to have caused public anger. At this time, as long as the ministers make a move, Zhang Guanghang will definitely be beaten to death!

Zhang Guanghang looked at the ministers who were approaching from front to back, left and right, trembling all over, and subconsciously dodged two steps in the direction of the throne of the Son of Heaven.

"I'm a scholar of Tokaku University! Who would dare to hit me? Are you going to rebel? ”

At the critical moment, Zhu Youzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the throne angrily!

"Bold!"

"Where is Dongchang Fanzi?"

"Take down Wang Heze, who committed the rebellion!"

The Son of Heaven finally spoke up.

However, the trembling Dongchang fans did not dare to be hostile to the civilian officials at this time. At this time, the city of Beijing is about to be broken, and the next thing is the world of civil officials. At this time, he offended the civil officials, and maybe Shi Kefa would kill himself after entering the imperial court.

It's just that these fans are the people of the Son of Heaven after all, and at this time the Son of Heaven has an order, and the fans don't dare not agree, so they can only go up hard. The fans automatically ignored the words of the Son of Heaven to take down Wang Heze, and only protected Zhang Guanghang's side and prevented the ministers from beating Zhang Guanghang.

Seeing that the fans didn't arrest Wang Heze and didn't listen to his command, Zhu Youzhen was speechless and choked, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Wang Heze became proud and shouted loudly: "Son of Heaven, do you still have to resist to the end? When the city of Beijing is broken tomorrow, what attitude will the Son of Heaven take to face the Ministry of History? ”

All the officials looked at Zhu Youzhen on the throne.

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale, his hands trembled slightly with anger, and he closed his eyes and was reluctant to speak.

The civil official and the Son of Heaven were confronting each other, and suddenly, a fan stall came running outside the door.

The stall head was so excited that his face was flushed, and he stumbled into the Imperial Palace, shouting loudly: "Holy Lord! Holy! The king of Tianjin is here! ”

The civil officials in the court suddenly collectively changed color, and their eyes widened one by one.

Li Zhi is here?

Wasn't Li Zhi attacked by the north and the south? What did he do in the capital?

Zhu Youzhen stood up abruptly and stared at this fan.

The head of the stall knelt in the middle of the Imperial Palace, and shouted loudly: "Shengshang, the army of the Tiger Ben Army of the King of Tianjin County has attacked the Xianghe, or it will reach the capital in two days!" ”
