Despite this, his body and mind were still on the verge of collapse, and the other Donglin ministers were also afraid of the knife in Liu Kongzhao's hand, seeing his desperate posture, they hesitated and didn't dare to come forward to help easily, for fear that Liu Kongzhao would go crazy and stab himself, otherwise they would have joined forces to beat him.

When Liu Kongzhao entered the court class and put away his blades, some Donglin imperial historians dared to go out of the class to play the emperor.

"Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao went to the palace with a blade, it is disrespectful! Please confiscate his blades and go to prison to ask for his crimes! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

After the Donglin party reacted, their faces were violent, and they vowed not to give up until they took Liu Kongzhao.

"Ahem."

On the golden platform, Zhu Youhua suddenly coughed heavily, and the ministers in the palace were alert when they heard this, and soon quieted down. Zhu Youhua swept his eyes in the hall and said: "Come on, take Liu Kongzhao's blade, press it down, and wait for it to fall, this morning is the end of the court, disperse!" After saying that, he got up and left his seat, shook off his robe, and strode to the apse in silence.

The ministers were stunned, the emperor's punishment made them have nothing to say, but there was always a feeling that a punch was empty, and they felt very depressed, and they all burned their anger at Liu Kongzhao, glaring at him angrily, and they couldn't wait to eat him in one bite.

At this time, several former imperial guards broke into the palace, confiscated the small dagger in Liu Kongzhao's arms, and escorted him out of the Qianqing Palace.

Donglin Zhongchen could only look at Liu Kongzhao's back and itchy teeth.

An unprecedented court meeting came to an end.

Zhang Shenyan is seventy years old, his beard and hair are gray, and his own bones are not bad, so he was frightened by this, and he became ill a few days after returning home, and at the same time gave the emperor a lesson to beg for bones.

There are also begging bones with Zhang Shenyan, as well as Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang.

After Zhu Youhua received their recital, he did not approve the agreement, and specially sent the officials of Honglu Temple to the mansions of the people to convey the message to express his sincere respect and deep apology.

On 24 May, Zhu Youhua specially summoned Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang for the incident that had happened a few days ago, and Zhang Shenyan said that because of his illness, the Holy Grace did not have to enter the Hajj.

As soon as Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang entered the hall, Zhu Youhua behaved very humblely, and as soon as they met, they affectionately called Mr. and once again expressed his deep apologies, and after the condolences were over, Zhu Youhua affectionately expressed the court's and his own reliance and trust in several elders, and then put forward his hope: Don't resign lightly in the future, without you humerus ministers, I really can't do it alone!

Seeing that the emperor was soft, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang were inconvenient to play hard anymore.

Gao Hongtu came out first to answer: "The matter of employing people in the imperial court, I will say it, and the ministers will say no." It's really hard for us to confuse right and wrong like this! ”

Zhu Youhua immediately replied: "I have just ascended to the pole, and I still don't have much experience in employing people, and I have always relied on you elders, I hope I don't have any misunderstandings!" ”

Gao Hongtu saw that the emperor was still good at talking, so he continued to pour bitter water, and the ministers led by Liu Kongzhao were selective about the use of people in the imperial court, hoping that His Majesty could understand the hardships of the courtiers below.

Zhu Youhua said that he understood and understood, and the conversation ended in an extremely harmonious atmosphere, and the emperor was very happy, as were Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang.

Only Zhang Shenyan was unhappy, since the last time he was hit hard by the spirit, he was sick, and he was getting sicker and sicker, seeing that he couldn't even get out of bed, and he had to go to work, which was really painful.

Under Zhang Shenyan's repeated requests, Zhu Youhua could only reluctantly approve his begging bones, and instructed him to cultivate at home, and when his body is well, he will recover again.

In this way, the position of the secretary was vacant, and the first assistant Ma Shiying recommended his cronie Wang Yi to serve, and the other Donglin ministers did not second, and the Donglin ministers recommended the party member Chen Zizhuang to serve, and Ma Shiying did not give a vote.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the Ministry of Officials could not be left alone, so in the end, they each took a step back, and Lu Zhenfei was appointed by the neutral faction to act as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. Similarly, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu finally agreed that Gu Xichou, the secretary of the neutral Taichang Temple, would also serve as the secretary.

Lu Zhenfei served as the secretary of the ministry, Zhu Youhua was still very satisfied with this result, and it was considered that the goal was initially achieved, Lu Zhenfei is a doer, and he will definitely maintain relative fairness in the selection and appointment of officials, and the quality of the officials depends largely on the integrity and ability of the officials.

The reason why the Donglin Party is so strong is that Zhang Shenyan has made great contributions, and he used the authority of the official department to stuff a large number of Donglin Party members into the ranks of the bureaucracy, all over the central and local governments, objectively accelerating the spread of the Donglin Party's power.

With his resignation, the emperor has one less major obstacle in decision-making and employment, and the Donglin Party has also cut off a major way to enter the office, and the expansion of power is bound to slow down. After Zhu Youhua completely controls the ministry, there will be several major changes in the center and the locality, and it will be difficult for the Donglin Party to call for wind and rain again.

After some adjustments to the central ruling team, Donglin went to two positions at once, one is the first assistant, and the other is the secretary of the ministry, all of whom are heavyweight officials who hold great power, but fortunately, there is also a squire Lu Daqi in the ministry, and there is also a squire Chen Zizhuang in the military department, and the money bag of the household department is also in the hands of the party cadre Gao Hongtu, and several major power departments have not yet completely fallen, even so it can be said that the losses are mixed. Some Donglin Party members with a keen sense of politics have already sniffed out a trace of conspiracy in this series of incidents. In private, they kept discussing how to fight back.

……

One afternoon in late May, the Northwest Imperial Camp School Field.

Zhu Youhua was wearing a dragon robe and gown, sitting on the high platform and quietly watching the training of the soldiers in the imperial camp below, surrounded by a group of cronies and ministers of civil and military affairs.

As far as the eye can see, on the school field under the high platform, the swords are shining, the spears are flying, and the murderous atmosphere is soaring. The sound of bowstrings as they fired, the clanging of swords and guns from shields, the hurried footsteps of the recruits, the heavy breathing and the roars of the new soldiers, all of which converged to make people feel like they were on the battlefield.

A corner of the east side of the school grounds.

"Onward! Advance! ”

Liu Zhaoji, the chief instructor of the imperial camp, stood in front of the formation with his sword in his hand, shouting the password loudly, and the flag officer of the Chinese army beside him quickly turned the password into a flag order, and the 3,000 new troops lined up in more than a dozen phalanxes under the command of instructors at all levels, and walked forward with neat steps.

An instructor from the government guard saw that the front was covered with thistles, but Liu Jiaoxi didn't shout to stop, and he was about to step on it if he went any further, so he hesitated for a moment, and then stopped with the people of the bureau.

"Stop! What's your name? ”

"Mark Chen Zuoheng of the General Bureau of the Imperial Camp C Bureau!"

"What is the first article of military law?"

Chen Zuoheng slapped his chest and replied with his head high: "Military orders are supreme, don't disobey!" ”

"Then why did you lead the team out of the formation without authorization, just because there was an iron thistle in front?" Liu Zhaoji asked sharply.

Chen Zuoheng closed his mouth tightly, not daring to argue.

"In the military formation, thousands of people lined up, one turned back, and all the soldiers were suspicious. If you stand in the front row, the captives are rolling like a monstrous wave, and the momentum is terrifying, and you hesitate to turn back and turn around to dodge-" Liu Zhaoji scolded Chen Zuoheng sharply.

"If you are the head of the team, you will kill a team of soldiers, if you are the flag general, a flag will be defeated, if you are the head of the team, it will affect the first division...... If you are the general of the general army of a town, you will scourge the three armies, be defeated, and float corpses for thousands of miles! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoji shouted violently: "Chen Zuoheng, what is his crime!" ”

Chen Zuoheng clenched the waist knife in his hand tightly, and a crystal bead of sweat slipped down from the corner of his forehead alone, splashing silently on the ground: "Cut it!" ”

"Now it's drilling, there is no need to behead, but the crime is inescapable, I will remove you from the post of the General Bureau now, and the deputy of the C Bureau will be regularized, after the drill, run thirty laps along the school field, if there is a next time, directly eliminate Kai Ge and be demoted to a pawn!"

After Liu Zhaoji issued the punishment order, he continued: "Since ancient times, the world has a strong army, the first heavy military discipline, Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not change color, and the elk was prosperous and left without an instant, in short, it can do not disturb the people, freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without plundering." Pursue and defeat the fleeing enemy, and scatter the goods before without taking them; When they met on the narrow road, they fought bloodily and did not retreat, and as soon as the order came out, it was like an arm and a finger, this was the style of the Qi family army back then! It is also a real iron-blooded army that can fight against the Tartars! ”

Everyone held their heads high, their eyes stared straight ahead, no one dared to make a sound, and the entire phalanx was suddenly silent, as if even the air was frozen and no longer flowing.

Liu Zhaoji nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "The imperial camp is pro-army, the guardian of the country, and the minions of the Son of Heaven!" You bear the rise and fall of the imperial family, the great trust of the rejuvenation of the country, and those who fail to pass the training period will be ruthlessly eliminated, and only those who are qualified will be hired. The big waves wash the sand, and all the refining is gold, and there is no need for cowards and bears in the imperial camp. Liu Zhaoji said this with a calm face, and suddenly shouted: "Are you willing to be a bear?" ”

"I don't want to." The crowd shouted loudly.

"Excellent! Now that the northern thieves and Tartars are raging and the country is in decline, His Majesty has the ambition to go north to the Central Plains, and will take you to the south and the north in the future, expel the Tartars and thieves, and recover the Daming rivers and mountains. The day of Zhongxing will be famous in history, and the number of people can be compared to the founding merits of the United States when Xu Zhongshan and Chang 100,000 (Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan; Chang Yuchun, he once said: Give me 100,000 elite soldiers, I can run rampant in the world! Since then, the number has been 100,000).

A good man has lofty ambitions, and he should make immortal contributions for the country and the people, and at the moment of opportunity, you should ask yourself, are you willing to be a mediocre and chaotic person all your life? ”

Everyone was thrilled and excited when they heard this, and they said in unison: "We will follow His Majesty the Emperor to the death, and I will never give up!" ”

Standing in the queue, learning military orders, reading the flag, and then waiting for the opportunity to eliminate unqualified soldiers, the instructors from the government guard and the recruits train together, do not engage in special, and repeatedly fail to be eliminated.

Chief teacher Liu Zhaoji is almost busy with these things these days, getting up at four watches every day, teaching everyone the identification and application of the golden drum flag, or preaching the military discipline drafted by the Son of Heaven himself, the military discipline of the recruited sergeant is not cumbersome, there are only four, the first is the supremacy of the military order, and it must not be disobeyed; Article 2: No gambling, concealment of fraud; Article 3: No theft, robbery, or private possession of property; Article 4: It is forbidden to fight, pick quarrels and provoke trouble.
