After a tiring day of traveling and driving, coupled with an all-night discussion of politics, when Fang Yuan returned to the courtyard, he was already tired like a dog, and fell asleep on the warm quilt on the high bed in Xiaoyuan's room.

When he woke up again, he found that he was sleeping on the bed with Xiaoyuan's fragrant body in his arms, and he was so shocked that he hurriedly got up.

Xiao Yuan also woke up and propped up his fragrant body, but he slept in his clothes, not naked.

She looked at him with diamond-like eyes and said, "Childe, are you awake?" ”

Fang Yuan looked outside, the sun was still shining, and asked in surprise, "What time is it, how can we sleep together?" ”

Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Childe has slept for a day and a night, and I and Childe slept half, but as a result, Childe slept too soundly and ......."

Fang Yuan patted his forehead, it turned out that he was really tired, he had slept all day, and he was still sleeping with Xiao Yuan in his arms unconsciously, so he quickly got up and said, "Has Qin Zhan been here?" ”

Xiao Yuan tidied up his clothes and ornaments for him, brought hot water to freshen up, and said softly, "I've been here, but I saw that my son was too tired, so I left." There is also a Francophone man, called Tang, Tang, or something, who also came to find Childe. ”

It turned out that John Tang had also come, Fang Yuan thought that the transaction with the Francois was time, and it was time to deliver the perfume, in line with the principle of good faith, while there were still one or two days to spare, the first batch of perfume transactions must be completed.

After he hurriedly freshened up, he hurriedly went to the study to buy perfume, and just walked to the door, but heard Xiao Yuan's shy voice sound, "Childe, I'll sleep here tonight, okay?" ”

Fang Yuan was stunned at the door, thinking about the sweetness of holding Xiao Yuan's body just now, and this room, the warmth and warmth of this warm bed are really much more comfortable than the cold bed in the study, and he is not an ascetic, why should he torture himself?

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll sleep here from today onwards!" ”

Xiao Yuan heard this, and shouted happily.

Fang Yuan returned to the study, closed the door tightly, and bought 100 bottles of men's perfume and 200 bottles of women's perfume in the Taobao system, spending about 1,000 taels of silver, and the system prompted that the courier would arrive within half a day.

After buying the perfume, Fang Yuan went out to find Qin Zhan, Qin Zhan had already received the news of Huang Taiji's handwriting, and was overjoyed to see that he had come back safely.

Fang Yuan also informed him of the trip to Datong, and Qin Zhan listened to it again and again, with regret on his face that he didn't catch up with such a wonderful show.

Qin Zhan asked about buying Datong's mother-in-law again, Fang Yuan remembered that he had forgotten everything, and was busy comforting him, next time he went to Datong, he would take him with him, and he would pick it up by himself on how to buy it.

The two entered the palace together, came to Qin Tianjian and found Tang Ruowang, and asked him to go to the people of the Francophone Chamber of Commerce to take the thunderbolt to the courtyard to trade.

At dusk, Blank and Bruce of the Franc Chamber of Commerce carried ox carts and 150 thunderbolts to Fangyuan's courtyard.

The perfume of the Taobao system also arrived an hour ago, and the two sides completed the first batch of perfume and arms sales in the courtyard.

Fang Yuan temporarily hid this batch of purchased thunderbolts in the cellar, and for the safety of the guards, he ordered Qin Zhan to move into the suite where Cao Huachun once lived with five brocade guards, and was responsible for Fang Yuan's security work full-time.

On the third day, one of the most important meetings of the Ming Dynasty began.

Those who can participate in this meeting are at least officials of the third rank and above, civilian officials are cabinet scholars, six department attendants, and nine kings and above, and military officials include Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, Fifth Army Battalion, and 3,000 Battalions.

Yi Fangyuan, an official position of a few Jinyi guards, was originally not qualified to participate in such an important military meeting, but Chongzhen made him stand in the position of the command of the palace guards and participated in this court meeting exceptionally.

This position was originally supposed to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but today's Luo Yangxing was arranged to stand with the ministers.

The hundreds of civil and military officials led by Zhou Yanru have gathered together, Zhou Yanru is about fifty years old, full of energy, although his face is calm, from time to time he skimmed Fang Yuan's eyes, but from time to time there is a trace of ruthless cold light.

The Great Hajj begins!

Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to take out Huang Taiji's handwritten book and read it in court.

The reason why Huang Taiji wrote this personal letter, instead of submitting it in the form of a national letter, was to leave Chongzhen with enough private face, and it was necessary to escort Fang Yuan to Shengjing secretly.

But as soon as Chongzhen read it out to the court, it was to make the private letter public, and with the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, he would never agree to this condition of losing the country and humiliating power.

Chongzhen's attitude was very obvious, and he would never hand over Fang Yuan, which made Zhou Yanru and others' plan to kill people with a knife come to naught.

After Wang Chengen read it, a group of civil ministers and military generals began to denounce Huang Taiji's flying and domineering in unison, and from time to time there were officials who knelt down in tears and begged Chongzhen to refuse sternly in order to maintain the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen saw that the crowd was excited, so he stepped down the ladder and said slowly, "Zhou Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”

Although Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, he did not dare to disobey the feelings of the crowd and be angry, so he could only stand up and say, "Huang Taiji is too deceitful, Your Majesty should immediately revise the book and strictly refuse!" ”

"Since all the Aiqing are unanimously decided, then follow it!"

Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to write it down, and then glanced at the ministers and said, "At the beginning of the second court meeting, the thieves besieged Kaifeng again, and the king of Zhou sent people to ask for help, to save or not to save, how to save it?" Let's discuss it too! ”

When it came to military and political affairs, the officials led by Zhou Yanru fell silent again, and dealt with Chongzhen with their usual silence.

Chongzhen glanced around again, and said coldly, "Let's start with Shoufu Zhou Ge Lao!" ”

Zhou Yanru was named by Chongzhen, and he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Kaifeng is the gateway to the southern line of Gyeonggi, and it is necessary to save it. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth like this, the second assistant Chen Yan also took the opportunity to stand up and say, "Zhou Ge Lao's method is very thorough, and the minister seconded it. ”

With these two people taking the lead, nine out of ten ministers came forward to second.

Zhou Yanru's method is to talk on paper, Zuo Liangyu avoided the war when he opened the second circle, and this time he urged him to go to war, and he knew that it was a false response to the war, what was the use? Liu Zeqing is now in Shandong to collect the Liukou, a few days ago he was still asking the court lion for money and grain, if he was informed to go to the rescue of Kaifeng, it was inevitable that he would first blackmail the court for a sum of food.

Chongzhen originally trusted this first assistant Zhou Yanru very much, but now he secretly compares him with Fang Yuan, one is Washuo and the other is Mingzhu.

Chongzhen was already deeply disappointed in him, this person was useless in the military except for engaging in political struggles and playing with officialdom and scheming, so he closed his eyes slightly, and asked, "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty takes the opportunity to enter the customs, how should they deal with it?" ”

Zhou Yanru continued to follow the previous words, "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs, Sun Chuanting, Shanxi General Zhou Yuji, Datong General Jiang Jian, and Xuanfu General Wang Chengyin will immediately enter Jinggi to protect the defense of Jinggi. ”

Chongzhen opened his eyes suddenly, patted the dragon case heavily, and said, "It's Sun Chuanting again, Zhou Yuji, do the two of them have three heads and six arms, and the doppelganger method can not only defend the Manchus in the north, but also attack the thieves in the south?" ”

Zhou Yanru was stunned for a moment, saw that Chongzhen was very angry, knew that he was speechless, and honestly retreated.

Chongzhen asked angrily, "Do the ministers have any objections?" ”

He asked three times in a row, but no one answered, Fang Yuan saw that the corner of his eyes seemed to look at him, knowing that this was a hint that he had come out to speak, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has objections." ”

The ministers were shocked when they saw that he was a brocade cloth and a hundred households, and as a minister, he dared to discuss politics in the court, which completely violated the ancestral system that the inner court of the Ming Dynasty could not interfere in politics.

Zhou Yanru immediately stood up and scolded sharply, "Jinyiwei is a minister, how can a minister discuss the government in vain, the disaster of Wei Eunuch, Yin Jian is not far away, ridiculous!" Ridiculous! ”

With him taking the lead, cabinet scholars Zhang Sizhi and Wei Jiongcheng, cabinet scholars Zhang Guowei who concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xie Sheng, a cabinet scholar who also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Dejing, a cabinet scholar who also served as the secretary of the household department, and Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up to oppose it.

Among the cabinet scholars, only Chen Yan, who is good at drilling, and Wei Zaode, who was recently promoted to a university scholar by Chongzhen, did not speak out.

Fang Yuan tightly squeezed the handle of the embroidered spring knife, and looked coldly at these cabinet scholars who were the happiest in jumping, the six Shangshu, he had no ability to solve the dilemma in front of Da Ming, and he still occupied the pit without and preventing others from doing things.

When the imperial court was in a predicament on all sides, he also brought out the conformist nonsense that ministers can't interfere in politics, and even Wei Zhongxian, who had been dead for fifteen years, came out to talk about it, no wonder Chongzhen said before he died that everyone could kill civil officials, and he couldn't wait to split these grandsons.

Chongzhen coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Zhong Aiqing might as well listen to other dissenting opinions, and it's good to complement each other!" ”

The emperor made it clear that he wanted to borrow Fang Yuan's mouth to speak, and Chen Yanzhi, a cabinet scholar who was good at drilling, stood up, "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers also agree, since it is a court discussion, the court discussion, you should brainstorm and embrace all rivers!" ”

Wei Zaode, who was personally promoted by Chongzhen, also stood up, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Chongzhen saw that two people came out to support, and hurriedly followed the words of the two of them, "Since the two Aiqing have a heart, Fang Yuan, let's talk about it!" ”

The Great Dynasty Meeting tossed for an hour, and finally it was Fang Yuan's turn to speak, Fang Yuan was completely speechless about the efficiency of standing in line before speaking at this kind of military and political conference, and said loudly, "The minister thinks that Kaifeng can't be saved!" ”
