Now, how could this Emperor Chongzhen let a person like him, who had never been a soldier for a day, had never fought a battle, or even been in a battle array, go to such a vital strategic place to command?!

Isn't this a joke about the old Zhu family?!

Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said: "The British public is commendable, and this is respectable!" However, Aiqing is old, frail and sickly, and she is going to Juyongguan, and she is very good, which is extraordinary! At the same time, the capital also needs an old minister like the British Duke to sit down! This is not possible! ”

When the British Duke heard this, he looked up unexpectedly, and said something more, but he heard Nan Juyi, the governor of Zhili, suddenly say:

"Your Majesty! The vassals of the feudal territory guard the feudal frontier, this is the right way to govern the country, and it is also the way to be a minister!

"Juyong Pass is within the jurisdiction of the minister, and it is the minister's responsibility to guard this gate! Please go to Juyong Pass to sit as a superintendent, and you will be able to stop Jianyu outside the gate! ”

After saying this, Nan Juyi knelt on the ground in his robe and solemnly kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward, helped the minister he had always respected, shook his head, and then said: "I don't doubt Nan Aiqing's talent and strategy, but this war is really a matter of great importance, related to the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, and the slightest mistake cannot be made!"

"When Qing was in Fujian, he was not afraid of the Xiyi ships, and he won the naval battle, and every time I thought about it, I was yearning! However, land warfare and naval warfare are completely different, and Jianyu and Xiyi are also very different. ”

Seeing that the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Governor of Zhili, Nan Juyi, invited themselves to supervise Ju Yongguan, but they were all rejected by the emperor, Sun Yuanhua thought about it and knew that his qualifications were shallow, and he couldn't mention this kind of thing, so he simply said:

"Your Majesty! The old Sun Pavilion went out of the customs to supervise the division, and the border of Ji Town was rectified, and now several months have passed, this time the captives retreated in the mountain city of Ulan Hada, and the edge of Ji Town is already as safe as Mount Tai!

"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty pass on the decree and transfer the old Sun Pavilion to move to the town to live in Yongguan? The minister thinks that Sun Ge Lao is the best candidate for the prime minister! ”

After Sun Yuanhua said this, the rest of the Wuying Hall fell silent again.

Sun Chengzong was indeed the right person, but Emperor Chongzhen wanted to go by himself.

Because in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen now, although this battle seems to be dangerous, it is actually dangerous.

With the newly renovated and heavily artillery-ridden Juyong Guancheng, the first town of the Guards that has long been fully equipped and repeatedly asked for battle, as well as the three battalions of the Beijing Division that have been reorganized for a long time and are equipped with advanced equipment, as well as the newly organized second town of the Guards, he believes that as long as he is coupled with the advantages of being a traverser and the identity of the emperor, there is no reason why he cannot win.

If he can't hold on and win, there is no need for him, a traverser, to exist in this era!

Since there is no reason why you can't win, of course, such a result cannot fall on someone else's head.

On the contrary, once he inflicted a heavy blow on Huang Taiji at Juyong Pass, he would be able to establish absolute authority within the Ming Dynasty through the victory in this battle.

Once this is done, it will be much easier to carry out other long-planned reforms in the future.

Therefore, this battle must be fought by yourself!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Outside the edge of Jizhen, it is the northern gateway of the Beijing Division, and the weight of the status is no longer below the Yongguan Pass!"

"Li Yangchong, the governor of Xuanfu, and Ni Yuanlu, the superintendent of Xuanfu, all have reports, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry stationed on the East Road outside Xuanfu. This point cannot be ignored! I intend that Sun Aiqing will lead the military affairs outside the border, and in the future, he can also ambush and annihilate the enemy on the way home, and he must not move lightly! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked around the hall and said: "I heard that in the past, Chengzu wanted to move the capital to Beijing, and the courtiers were suspicious. This is the truth, since I ascended the throne, I dare not forget it for a moment! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished saying these words, which seemed to have nothing to do with who was going to sit in Juyong Pass, he looked at the courtiers in the hall on the side again, and finally, his eyes fell on Niu Juming's face, and said:

"I have already told the cabinet ministers that tomorrow, there will be a special court meeting in the Jianji Palace! I hope you and others can understand my intentions! ”

By this time, the people in the palace had more or less understood the emperor's intentions, and everyone knew that the young emperor was afraid that he wanted to drive the imperial expedition in person.

But is it that easy?

However, although everyone has their own plans in their hearts, the emperor's words have come to this point, and at this time, everyone in the palace is a special candidate called by the emperor, and there is no one who has to work against the emperor.

After receiving the urgent report from Datong, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the cabinet ministers and the officials of the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate overnight.

On the one hand, it was to inform them of the enemy situation of Jianyu entering the pass from the killing of Hukou.

On the other hand, it is also to talk to them about their own ideas, unify their thoughts, and lay the groundwork for their next step to personally sit in Juyongguan.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen did not let the cabinet ministers and other important ministers of the court come to Wuying Palace, because he had already hinted at their basically unrelated personnel, and asked Li Guoqi, Xu Guangqi and others to do the work of some characters in the Six Science Corridor.

These people who came today are all related to military affairs, and most of them will accompany Emperor Chongzhen in the next step.

Emperor Chongzhen talked to these groups of people before the Jianji Hall court meeting, and the effect was still there, at least these courtiers who already knew the emperor's intentions would no longer openly oppose the emperor at the Jianji Hall court meeting held the next day.

On the morning of October 28 in the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen set up the pole hall on time.

Nowadays, such a small and medium-sized Jianji Hall Dynasty will only be held twice a month, which is called the Shuowang Dynasty.

At the beginning, many courtiers and officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Shifu, and the Six Branch Corridors wrote to criticize the emperor's lazy administration, and asked the emperor to increase the number of court meetings, scale, time, and so on.

But Emperor Chongzhen turned a deaf ear, and over time, no one was bored anymore.

Moreover, after the change to the Shuowang Dynasty, in addition to the "big shifts" twice a month, the emperor either summoned cabinet ministers in the Wenhua Hall to discuss the handling of government affairs, or summoned officials from the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Department, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the Wuying Hall to discuss the handling of government affairs, or convened the cabinet and the military aircraft department and relevant personnel in the Qianqing Palace to hold a pre-imperial meeting to discuss the important affairs of the military state.

In this way, the Shuowang Dynasty, which built the Pole Palace, gradually became a new practice.

The emperor temporarily added a large court meeting to build a pole hall, but instead required the scholars in the cabinet to write to the ministries and temples at least one day in advance, and inform the participating officials to prepare in advance and attend on time.

Because, today's Jianji Palace Dynasty Meeting, although it is not the great court meeting of the Imperial Palace that was attended by the four products in Beijing before, but counted, there are not a few people who participate, including the six departments in Beijing and above, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the six science corridors are above the middle of the matter, the five military governors are above the governor's office, and the Dali Siqing, Hanlin Bachelor, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Military Aircraft Department Senator, and the officials above the General Administration Department, a total of 70 people.

The number of times the emperor personally summoned the officials of the ministries and temples to hold the court meetings was less, but the number of meetings such as the ministry meetings and the court councils held by the ministries and temples themselves became more and more increasing.

The emperor was only in charge of military affairs and major affairs, but the officials of various ministries and temples had more room and room to play in government affairs, and they all became active and pragmatic.

Emperor Chongzhen came to the Jianji Palace, and in the great salute of the cabinet ministers and the high-ranking officials of the civil and military classes, he ascended his own throne, waited for the ministers to finish the ceremony, and said: "Today, the court meeting is specially added, as for the reason, I think the Qing and others already know!" Jianyu broke through the border and entered, Datong and Xuanfu were in danger, and Yanmen and Juyong were also dangerous! If Yanmen is not guaranteed, Shanxi will suddenly become a scorched earth, and if the mediocrity is lost, then the Jianyu will immediately come to the city of Beijing! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the high-ranking officials and dignitaries standing in the Jianji Palace, his face gradually sank, and he said coldly:

"Datong side news came, and the courtiers talked about it! Some of the imperial historians and ministers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Branch Corridors, whether they know the soldiers or those who do not know the soldiers, write to me one by one, the words are excited, the emotions are intense, some ask for the punishment of Fan Fucui, Zu Dashou, some ask for the edict to supervise the world, the king of the army, and even suggest the mobilization of Liaozhen and the rescue of Beijing, which is simply ridiculous! ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "The country has something to do, and it has its own cabinet auxiliary ministers of the five armies and six departments to deal with it, if the cabinet auxiliary ministers of the five armies and six departments are disposed of wrongly, the party needs to be reviewed and corrected by the officials of the department, and the officials must be judged. ”
