Time flies, three days pass in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Shanhaiguan is sunny, the autumn grass is withered and yellow, there is a little autumn sadness, if it is not for the traces of many wars, no one would have thought that a few days ago, there was a great war here, or a sea of corpses and blood, or a river of blood!

At this time, the 170,000 reinforcements led by Wu Yong had arrived at Shanhaiguan and were confronting each other with the Mongolian army led by Meng Bihan across Shanhaiguan.

Neither side launched an offensive, Kublai Khan pinned his hopes on a negotiated settlement of the dispute, while Wu Yong was unable to attack the Mongol army of more than 200,000 due to the lack of troops, and most of them were cavalry, which was not an attack, but a search for death.

……

At this time, Yanjing City was the first day of October, and it was also the day when the Great Cadres held a grand court meeting.

The great court meeting of the great cadres is held four times in January, once on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and once every seven days on the other two days, and at other times the emperor convenes the ministers to discuss matters again, and the place is uncertain, and the officials and nobles above the fifth rank of the great court will go to the court, and the officials of the great cadres are closed every five days.

At this time, Zheng Wen, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven and a sword at his waist, walked into the main hall surrounded by all the warriors and eunuchs.

Zheng Wen, with a limp, walked step by step from the imperial steps to the high dragon chair, and finally sat on the dragon chair.

When the ministers below saw it, they immediately saluted Zheng Wen and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty!" ”

Zheng Wen opened his mouth and said: "I am safe, all the Qing'an, please be free of courtesy." ”

As soon as Huang An saw it, he immediately shouted, "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from." ”

Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the mausoleum of the first emperor has been completed, but the follow-up work of sealing the soil and sacrificing the soil must be carried out in person, and the date is the ninth day of October supervised by Qintian." Qian Chang looked drowsy.

"I know, on the ninth day of October, I will lead the civil and military officials to go."

Zheng Wen saw that Qian Chang didn't retreat, so he asked kindly: "Qian Aiqing, is there anything else?" ”

Seeing this, Qian Chang had no choice but to say again: "Your Majesty, the first emperor has passed away, and your mausoleum must be prepared, and there is also the change of yuan." ”

When Zheng Wen heard this, he felt a wave of slander in his heart, I am only eighteen this year, young and strong, you just think about me to die!

Of course, this is what Zheng Wen slandered from the perspective of modern people. In fact, in feudal society, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he would raise the issue of his own mausoleum, which was a political issue.

Zheng Wen also knew that this old man Qian was for his own good, but Zheng Wen was still very unhappy in his heart.

Then he said helplessly: "My mausoleum, let's talk about it next year, I am still young, and now the soldiers at the border are fighting bloody battles with the Mongols, how can I surpass them in my private affairs?" ”

Many of the generals below showed a hint of emotion on their faces.

Zheng Wen's means of winning over the hearts of the military are everywhere, and in this kind of thing, he can wave a wave!

When Qian Chang heard this, he was also speechless for a while, and helpless for a while, this is an important political issue, okay, how did it become a private matter in the mouth of your old man, and he was just about to refute it.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen immediately spoke: "Qian Aiqing, about changing the yuan, let's start from the first month of next year, about my year name, do you have any proposals from the Ministry of Rites?" ”

When Qian Chang heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Rites has mentioned a few era names, how about Jiajing?" ”

"It's not appropriate, change it." When Zheng Wen heard it, isn't it the Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, "every family is clean", this is not a curse on me!

Seeing this, Qian Chang spoke again: "Meiji, how is it?" ”

"No, another one." Isn't this the Meiji of Little Japan, no, how can the Celestial Empire take such an era name, as soon as he heard Zheng Wen, he vetoed it.

Seeing this, Qian Chang had no choice but to speak again: "Your Majesty, how is Jianye?" This is the last era name drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zheng Wen listened, pondered for a while, and still felt that it was not very good, so he said: "It's not appropriate, let's call it Jianwu, next year will be the first year of Jianwu!" ”

When Qian Chang heard this, he felt that it was still feasible, building martial arts, literally, it was to establish martial arts, which was also in line with what His Majesty did, so he showed a satisfied smile, nodded, and retreated.

Seeing that this problem had been solved, Zheng Wen said again: "As soon as I ascended the throne, I was attacked by the 300,000 Mongol army at Shanhaiguan, and I was very panicked at that time, but as a descendant of Taizu, how could I retreat? I decided to send a million troops to fight the Mongols in a decisive battle at Shanhaiguan, Liu Aiqing, how are the soldiers and materials prepared? ”

How could Zheng Wen ask this question? He is very familiar with these soldiers and materials, these days he basically eats and lives in the Beijing camp, and discusses the transfer of troops and materials with the ministers of various ministries, so why is he still mentioning it at the court?

Because these days, he received a report from Jinyiwei that Yanjing City is an undercurrent, and there are many forces in tandem, wanting to do something out, but Zheng Wen doesn't want to kill, after all, life is still precious in his heart, so Zheng Wen raised this issue and told the facts, so as to deter these careerists and advise them to stop as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being angry, although I don't like to kill, but it threatens me, then I can only ask you to die.

Zheng Wen is getting more and more like an emperor!

When Liu Jian heard this, he was also puzzled at first, don't you know all this? Why bother to bring it up here, but as an old fox in the political arena, his political sense of smell is still keen, thinking of the situation in the capital these days, when he thinks about it, he understands that this majesty is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger! It seems that His Majesty has grown up really fast, it has not been a month since he went from a transparent little prince to ascending the throne as the emperor, and all kinds of political skills have been used so skillfully, and sure enough, there is no simple person in the royal family.

But Liu Jianjian was the prime minister, and he didn't want the capital to be in chaos, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, Yanjing City has already recruited 300,000 soldiers from Hebei, well-equipped and with high morale. The military supplies used by the 500,000 troops for a year have been gathered, and the materials are still being collected from all over the city from all over the country, and the ministers expect that in the next month, the materials collected in the capital will be able to supply the army of one million for a year. ”

Zheng Wen listened, then nodded, and said: "Well, yes, I am very satisfied with the work of Qing and others, I am worthy of being the country of the Central Plains, worthy of being a great resource, in just over a month, I can gather millions of troops, I am very happy......"

After talking some nonsense, Zheng Wen spoke again: "Is there anything else going on with Zhongqing?" ”

There was silence below, and then Guo Yu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Mongols have come with a team of envoys, saying that they want to negotiate peace with me and rebuild it, and they are now in Hongpeng Temple, please show your Majesty." ”

Zheng Wen listened, thought about it, and then said again: "I know, you can entertain first!" I still have to discuss this matter with the ministers, so you should step down first! ”

looked at it, and after a while, Zheng Wencai spoke again: "Is there anything else?" I retreated without me. ”

After a long while, there was still no sound from the bottom.

Huang An shouted, "Retreat!" ”

All the ministers below saluted Zheng Wen in unison, and shouted in unison, "Ministers and others send your majesty!" ”

Zheng Wen then got up, left the dragon chair, limped, walked to the imperial step by step, and left the main hall surrounded by all the warriors.

The ministers looked at Zheng Wen, who had disappeared, and after a while, they dispersed.

……

At this time, Yanjing City was in a palatial house.

A person dressed as a scholar, sitting in the hall, with a vulgar face and a slender figure.

He was saying to a man who looked like an old man: "Chief Wang, the prince said, stop this matter!" ”

When the old man heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Everything is almost ready. Why did the prince suddenly change his hexagram again? ”

The scholar sighed, and then said: "Everyone in the world has looked away, no one thought that the one who was not valued by the first emperor and was not hostile to the prince back then, he was an invisible person in the royal family for eighteen years, and the lame Nine Emperor Princes, after he ascended the throne by chance, he actually became so powerful, this is less than a month, he almost controlled the situation in the capital, and now he can mobilize millions of troops in one fell swoop, which is really powerful!" ”

"The prince said, stop, if you do it again, it will be worth the loss, and it will damage your strength. It was this morning that the lame little emperor, sitting on the dragon chair, in front of the ministers of the court, told us that another 300,000 troops had gathered in the capital, and this was knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger! ”

"Just say to us, 'Don't jump, if you jump again, you'll die', and this new emperor's eagle dog Jinyi guard has been frequently dispatched these days, and there are them in the entire capital, so it's too difficult to act."

"The prince said, calm down, don't make some senseless sacrifices."

When the old man heard this, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Okay, please tell the prince, and your subordinates will obey orders." Farewell, sir, I'll go down and make arrangements. ”

After speaking, the old man saluted the scholar and turned to leave.

The scholar didn't care about him, sitting quietly on the big chair, but his heart was depressed, he never thought that the new emperor mastered the court so quickly, from a prince who had nothing, to ascend the throne, in less than a month, he was able to quickly win over a group of diehard loyalists of the first emperor, for his own use, quickly formed a group of his own cronies, quickly took over the entire capital, and then used the excuse of the Mongol invasion to quickly seal the entire capital, and all the forces were temporarily killed by him in the capital, No matter how great your ability is, it's in vain.

It really responded to the sentence "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery will be in vain"!

Judging from all kinds of things these days, this new emperor can indeed be called a great talent, think about his prince, he is indeed famous, but I am afraid that he is not as good as this new emperor!

This scholar thought so in his heart.
