At the beginning of the dawn, countless civil and military ministers gathered outside the Chengtian Gate.

Today is another day of routine early court, but every courtier standing outside the Chengtian Gate is full of complicated feelings.

But just one night, there are too many major events happening in the court, so many that they are a little caught off guard, first the court reinstated a former Ministry of Rites, and the cabinet has more ministers who have actually entered the cabinet, and then there is the Hongling urgent report, the front line is victorious, although I don't know what the specific situation of the military newspaper is, but according to the gossip from the Ministry of War, this battle is a big victory!

Although this war made the ministers of the court feel a little hasty, you must know that since Emperor Chengzu, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars has lost more and won less, and there are really not many battles that can be called big victories, and every one is something worth celebrating!

Not only the military generals, but even many civil servants in the court were excited all night after learning the news.

It's just that this excitement hasn't passed yet, and a piece of news in the cabinet has made the ministers become restless, and the old chief assistant wants to be a minister!

Although it has not yet been officially announced, the cabinet has seen the resignation of the old chief assistant, which can be described as a sure thing, and as soon as the news comes out, there is an undercurrent in the court......

At this moment, the court meeting has not yet begun, and the courtiers gathered outside the door in twos and threes to talk to each other, but only in the most advanced cabinet echelon, they were silent, and the first assistant Wang Xijue closed his eyes and recuperated without saying a word.

The other bigwigs had the heart to speak, but they didn't know how to speak, they just exchanged glances with each other, and everything was silent.

The ancient palace gate slowly opened, and the ushers walked out as usual, and the heavy music played, accompanied by the loud voice of the palace envoys, and the ministers marched into the palace gate in procession.

"Ascension!"

Today's early dynasty is not as ordinary as usual in the Qianqing Palace or Fengtian Palace, but in the Huangji Palace, the so-called what, the ministers are clear in their hearts, into the tall and gorgeous hall, but see that the emperor has already been on the throne, a dark crown, solemn.

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!"

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

The mood of the Son of Heaven was obviously good, and he could feel the emperor's joy through His Majesty.

After the ministers thanked him and got up, Zhu Changluo said.

"Today's ascension to the Emperor's Palace, there is a major event to say with the Qing Equal, the Ministry of War sent a letter last night, reporting a great victory on the front, beheading more than 2,000 enemy troops, capturing more than 10,000 prisoners, and capturing the traitor Pull Lik and his subordinates, this is a great victory, we should congratulate together!"

"Your Majesty's majesty, shocking the four seas, the ministers congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate the Daming Society!"

Although he was already prepared in his heart, when the Son of Heaven personally told the news of the great victory, the ministers couldn't help but be shocked, beheaded 2,000, captured tens of thousands, and captured the enemy generals alive, no matter which one was a sign of a great victory!

All of a sudden, the hall reverberated with the loud congratulatory voices of the ministers.

"Where is Madame Chungshun?"

After a while, Zhu Changluo raised his hand to suppress the voice below and spoke.

So in the midst of a group of scholars, an old woman dressed in a royal robe came out respectfully, followed by her twelve-year-old son.

"The minister is here!"

"In the first year, the emperor of the Emperor Mu Zong had made an alliance with Tumut, forever as a minister, and in the following decades, the border was peaceful and harmless, and it was also my heart, and now the chieftain of Tumut Ralik raised troops to attack, but his person was really a chaotic minister and thief, fortunately, Mrs. knew the righteousness, and went to the capital to invite my king to calm the thieves, and now the border has been leveled, and the traitors have been captured, which is a great fortune in the world! With the son of Mrs. Feng, he is rude as the king of Shunyi, and the surname of the country is Zhu Shunzhi, hoping that Er can guard the border for my Ming Dynasty and be loyal forever! ”

Zhu Changluo smiled and said as gently as usual.

"In addition, although Tumut has a great disrespect to my Ming this time, but I will not pursue my wife's dedication to the country, the alliance of the ancestors cannot be abolished, I hope that after Mrs. goes back, she can continue to restrain the people, and she cannot provoke the border!"

When the words fell, even a person like Sanniangzi who had been in the world for many years was stunned, she knew that the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty would definitely fulfill his promise and crown his son as the King of Shunyi, but what she didn't expect was that this Son of Heaven was so generous that he would not pursue this matter at all.

You must know that the original covenant of tribute, although it was called tribute, was actually a covenant concluded when the Tumut Ministry had the upper hand, and many of its terms were obviously unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, the most obvious being nothing more than the various mutual market materials and prices, which largely depended on the needs of Tumut.

The third lady originally thought that this young and wise son of heaven would take this opportunity to re-enter into the covenant, but she never thought that he would still maintain the old covenant, which was a great thing for the Tumut tribe who had just suffered a great injury.

So just stunned for a moment, the third lady took the son behind her to the ground and said.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations, and guard the border for the Son of Heaven forever, and throughout this life, generations will not have two hearts for the Ming Dynasty!"

The three ladies' statements were categorical, and every word was resolute.

Not only did Zhu Changluo nod, but even the ministers in the court all showed a smile.

"Your Majesty, the ministers heard that they should convince people with virtue, the world will be happy, they will be persuaded by their strength, the world will be resentful, and the virtue of our emperor will be clear to the four seas, so as to attract the people from all directions, be wise and martial, and be fortunate in the society!"

Among the ministers, a thin old man stepped forward and said with his hand.

But it was Fang Congzhe, as the head of the Hanlin Academy, and an example of Qingliu, it was appropriate for Old Man Fang to come forward at this time.

The king's virtue is outstanding, naturalization of the Quartet, is the so-called way of kings in Confucianism, Fang Congzhe's words, is also the idea of most of the ministers present, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, his mind is calm, and the means are changeable, although the ministers are deterred, but this kind of obedience is more fear, not respect, you know, generosity and benevolence are the way of the king, and today's performance of Zhu Changluo is obviously exactly the same as the performance of the perfect king in their hearts.

So after Fang Congzhe, the ministers stepped forward one after another, and their mouths were full of beautiful words.

"In this battle, the ancestors are blessed, the emperor is fortunate, the lower Lai is the front-line soldiers who fought bloodily, and the civil ministers and military generals work together.

After a while, the ministers quieted down again at Zhu Changluo's signal, but seeing that the Son of Heaven had a solemn face, he spoke.

"The old minister is here!"

Among the Wenchen, an old man in a scarlet robe once again walked out, but it was the old man of Shi Xingshi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The boss seems to be in a good mood, his face is full of red light, and he doesn't blame him for being so, you know, although the front-line master of this war will be Ma Gui, but according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the nominal supreme commander is Shi Xing, who can lead such a big war to promote the national prestige in his lifetime, and the boss feels that it is enough to let him do it immediately.

What's more, after the big victory, he will have to make a contribution, so Shi Xing should be regarded as the only minister in the entire court who is not affected by the upcoming departure of Shoufu.

"In this battle, the whole army is fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the court and the outside are working together, and now the army is about to return to the court after victory.

Zhu Changluo sat on the throne and continued to speak, but no one noticed that when he spoke, Zhu Changluo's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable complexity.

"Command!"

Shi Shangshu happily received the order and retreated to the court.

It stands to reason that the court meeting has been carried out to this extent, it is almost time to end, the Huangji Hall is usually used by the Son of Heaven to hold various large-scale ceremonies before the palace will be opened, such as today's enthronement ceremony, it is here, and this time, it is the most brilliant victory of the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years, so the Huangji Hall was opened.

It should be said that the Imperial Palace is not a large hall for deliberations, and it is not used to deal with daily government affairs, so the ministers did not mention other court affairs after entering the palace, but respectfully received the various wills of the Son of Heaven.

And what I didn't mean to ask was that the most important thing in today's imperial palace court meeting was to announce the news of the victory of the army and give the new king of Shunyi, as soon as this matter was over, it was time to move elsewhere to start today's formal deliberations, but in fact, the ministers found that the Son of Heaven did not mean to end the court meeting, but slowly stood up and said.

"Zhuqing, the military merit of the military department is the business of the military department, and it depends on the merits of thousands of soldiers to win a battle, so I ordered Shi Shangshu to describe it one by one, but I know that there will never be a type of person in the military merit book of the military department, and without them, there would be no Ming today, and there would be no such glorious victory, so I am above this hall today, I want to pay for one person and correct the name of a guard!"

Zhu Changluo's words were very serious, and his face was very serious, but the ministers in the court were unexpected, and they looked at each other, not knowing who the emperor was talking about.

And then a person walked in from outside the hall, and it really lived up to expectations, which made the courtiers lose their eyes.

The person who came was dressed in a flying fish robe with teeth and claws, wearing a beam crown, and under the solemn crown dress, there was a pair of slightly cloudy eyes and a face that had been cold for many years.

"The commander of the minister's brocade guard makes Luo Sigong see Your Majesty!"

Under the surprised gaze of a group of ministers, Luo commanded the envoy to the hall and slowly bowed down, his face was still as cold and hard as usual, but a tremor of his body showed that he was not in a calm mood.

"You Aiqing must be wondering, why would the person I want to reward so solemnly and solemnly be the factory guards and the like who are spurned by the ministers of the DPRK and China?"

Zhu Changluo did not sit back on the throne as usual, but walked down from His Majesty step by step, and also came to the main hall and came to the ministers.

Looking at the different expressions of the ministers, Zhu Changluo stood in front of Luo Sigong, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.

"Since the day I entered the school, whether it is in the mouths of the hundreds of officials in the court or the people in the city, whenever I mention Jinyiwei, I will call the factory guards to act misbehaps, rely on power, abuse of power and commit murder, scholars are clear-mouthed and unscrupulous, and the three words of Jinyiwei have become synonymous with the traitors of the powerful ministers, and the better ones think that Jinyiwei is a sharp weapon in the hands of the king, and they are almost provoking and insulting Jinyiwei, and they are proud of being imprisoned and fortunate to bully Jinyiwei! Up and down the government and the opposition, there is no one who has the benefits of the Jinyi Guard, as if the Jinyi Guard should be abolished, it is the right way for the court! ”

Zhu Changluo's expression was flat, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, but he didn't say a word, his eyes swept over the faces of the courtiers, and the courtiers he glanced at, except for a few people, were all like mangs, and a large part of them were all imperial historians and officials.

Fortunately, Zhu Changluo's gaze did not linger on them too much, and after a glance, he returned to Luo Sigong in the middle of the main hall.

"Luo Aiqing, how many guards are under the jurisdiction of Jinyi Wei now, and how many people are registered?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei has seventeen guards under its jurisdiction, and a total of 5,672 people are stationed in Beijing, with a total of hundreds of 6,085 people!"

Luo Sigong almost answered without hesitation, this matter is said to be a secret, but in fact it is not a secret, the official position is a little higher can know these data, so when Luo Sigong's voice fell, the bigwigs present almost frowned in unison.

Because what Luo Sigong said is a little too different from what they know......

"Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, the total number of Jinyi guards registered by the imperial court is 63,000, how can there be as many as 100,000?"

At this time, Jifu Zhenzhenji stood up and questioned.

Zhu Changluo smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

"The second assistant asked well, I will tell Zhuqing today where these more than 40,000 people came from!"

After saying that, Zhu Changluo turned around and returned to the throne, condescendingly, looking at the ministers below, and said.

"The original intention of Taizu to set up the Jinyi Guard, originally to monitor the world, insight into the people's feelings, to quell the rebellion, from the beginning of the establishment, the Jinyi Guard's register will not be announced to the government and the opposition, the 63,000 people known to the Qing Qing are the number of Jinyi Guards, but behind them, there are countless Jinyi Guards incognito, hiding in the shadows, hiding in the night, scattered countless realms and living peacefully, if there is no war, they will always be just an ordinary people, but once there is a danger to the Li people's community, They will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for my Daming!

In the first battle of Liaodong, in order to defeat the Japanese army, countless ministers did not know the Jinyi Guard, sacrificed their lives for the army, more than 3,700 people, this battle, the Jinyi Guard commanded Luo Sigong to go to Liaodong in person, to defend my Daming mountains and rivers, their military exploits, never inferior to the front-line fighting soldiers, not to mention the Gonggong Zhugong who stood on the court, but there was never their name and surname in the merit book of the Ministry of War, and even except for me and Luo Commander, no one knew about their existence, and to this day, I still can't let their names and surnames appear in the military merit book, but I want to tell the Qing, and I want to tell the world that Jinyiwei is for the country and the people, and it is for the Ming Society to exist for ten thousand years! ”

There was silence in the hall, no one dared to say a word, even the most rampant speech officials, they could also feel the excitement that the Son of Heaven was suppressing at the moment, and they had a faint premonition that if anyone jumped out at this time and sang the opposite, the Son of Heaven would definitely behead him to show the public!

"This book, I give it to Jinyiwei, and sacrifice all the soldiers who sacrificed for my Ming Dynasty, the pillars of the country, and life should be like this!"

Zhu Changluo lifted the pen, splashed ink, wrote the four big characters of the pillar of the country on the imperial case, stamped the treasure seal of the Son of Heaven uprightly, walked down to His Majesty, and handed it to Luo Sigong, who had already cried silently......
