Chapter 283: Ambition Finally Revealed!
In the past two years, almost every general present has clearly seen that the open and secret battle between the emperor and the current emperor, it can be said that this level of competition is not something they can mix, at least before the situation is clear, they dare not get involved.
However, His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of the People's Republic of China, is not only in the court and the opposition, but in the eyes of the ministers, or in the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty, his prestige has thrown the current son Zhu Qiyu far away from 108,000 miles away.
Comparing Zhu Qiyu's actions with Zhu Qizhen's actions, it will always make people feel that Zhu Qiyu's behaviors make people feel ridiculous, hateful, and even annoying, without any trace of the posture of a human monarch and the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.
Coupled with the secret planning of people with intentions, in a word, in the past two years, Zhu Qizhen's appearance rate is far higher than that of Zhu Qiyu, who plays with women in the harem.
Moreover, in the past two years, Zhu Qizhen has been struggling to brush up his prestige, well, it belongs to the kind whose prestige value has been full, and his great and glorious image of serving the country and the society of the Ming Dynasty has also infiltrated the hearts of every citizen of the Ming Empire.
This is also an important reason why these border town soldiers can ignore today's strict orders and dare to wave their troops into the grassland, they know very well that what Zhu Qizhen is doing is the future of the Ming Dynasty, not his own selfishness.
Of course, it can't be said that these generals don't feel the slightest feeling, in fact, when Zhu Qizhen sent people over to persuade them, it can be said that they can more or less vaguely guess something, but no one has the courage to think deeply.
However, Zhu Qizhen's words suddenly woke them up, wanting to make his son the king, if Zhu Qizhen could not regain imperial power, how could he be able to achieve the goal in his mouth?
In a word, Zhu Qizhen is now telling everyone very clearly that he, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, is no longer satisfied with the status quo, and has decided to regain the positions and rights that originally belonged to him again.
After the shock, there was a dead silence, and the dozens of people in the big tent seemed to have stopped breathing, but their hearts were tumbling over the river, and the expressions on their faces were also cloudy.
-------------------- and Zhu Qizhen still had a calm and calm face, drinking the hot tea leisurely, slowly lifting the tea leaves floating on the water with the tea lid, but looking at these generals with indescribable expressions, his heart was also not easy, after all, whether he could return to the capital and re-ascend to the top as the son of tomorrow, in fact, it was up to these guys.
In a word, there is political power in the barrel of a gun, this sentence is common in ancient and modern times, and even more so in ancient times. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the safety of northern Xinjiang is the top priority.
Now, after the defeat of Tumubao two years ago and the trapping of the Beijing Division, the Ming Dynasty court has not dared to relax and continue to increase its investment in the border towns of northern Xinjiang. It makes the border towns of the Ming Dynasty stronger and stronger.
And Zhu Qizhen took the opportunity of gathering the army in the grassland to release his intention to return to Dabao, which was already very naked to announce his ambition and purpose to everyone present, but it was not just as simple as calming down the troubles of the grassland.
Now, the only concern is whether these generals will be able to accept, or rather, be willing to follow under their command and be willing to be their help.
At this time, Sun Jing, the commander of Guangningwei in Liaodong Town, stood up first and fell to the ground. "His Majesty the Emperor, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate."
"Commander Sun." When Cao Yi heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice.
However, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand indifferently, signaling that Cao Yi didn't need to say much, staring at Sun Jing who fell to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing thinks there is something wrong, although I know it bluntly." ”
"Then please forgive Weichen for being presumptuous." Sun Jing gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Qizhen. "Your Majesty the Emperor, Weichen thinks that the affairs of the Fan Kingdom are not trivial, and whoever is appointed as the Lord of Fan also needs to go to the court and reach the Son of Heaven before he can act."
"If His Majesty the Emperor makes a decision, Weichen is afraid that the court and the Son of Heaven will be suspicious of His Majesty. Therefore, Wechen ......"
Hearing Sun Jing's words, Sun Zhirui couldn't help frowning, and was about to stride out to refute his words, but when he saw Zhu Qizhen's eyes, he could only hold back.
"Your words are indeed reasonable, yes, if I do this, I will be suspicious of the court or my good brother, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly, and his voice suddenly became higher: "But have you thought about the Sun Qing family, since I have been hunting in the north, when have I not been suspected by my good brother?!" ”
"Before I fell into the tile, I had already decided to fall to the country, so I first made an edict to inherit the throne, hoping that my second brother could take up my unfinished duties, so that my Ming Dynasty would not be threatened by the war, and I could calmly fight the enemy."
But what did he do? I have been captured since I came, I have the will to die, dedicated to my Ming, I would rather die to stimulate the morale of my Ming army and people, and then, on the grassland, in order to atone for my previous sins, I circled among the nobles of the grassland, endured humiliation and sought perfection, and finally made thousands of my Ming soldiers get out of the cage and have returned home. ”
"And what did the son do today?"
"I'm trapped in the grassland, did he ever have the idea of returning to my homeland? I went through all the dangers and returned to the south alone, he actually ignored the persuasion of the courtiers, and disregarded the etiquette and humility......" Zhu Qizhen's voice became colder and colder, making the big tent like frost.
The generals listened to Zhu Qizhen's questioning, and they couldn't help but be silent. But Zhu Qizhen is still unsatisfied, yes, he has been aggrieved for a long time in his heart, or rather, he has endured it for too long.
“…… I have already written a blood edict and inferiority to him Zhu Qiyu, which has already shown that I have no intention of fighting again, but what did he do?! actually wants to poison the prince, just because the prince is my son-in-law, not his bloodline, such a heinous and ugly thing can also be done by a human king? ”
“…… Now, I have finally planned and made this prairie fall apart, which is a great opportunity for my Ming Dynasty to recover the northern frontier, but what did he do, but he secretly obstructed it vigorously, I am for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, for the Ming Dynasty's Li people, he is actually obstructing? ”
"Why doesn't he touch his conscience and listen to the voice of my Ming Dynasty and the opposition, since he ascended the throne, what have he done to benefit the Ming Dynasty, and what deeds have he done that have been praised by the government and the opposition?"
Sun Jing's forehead was tightly pressed against the ground at the moment, speechless, or rather, Zhu Qizhen's words made him really unable to refute.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and stared at Sun Jing, who was still prostrating on the ground, his slightly hoarse voice revealed indescribable exhaustion: "Sun Qingjia, I ask you, what today's son did should be done by a human monarch?" Is it an emperor of the Ming Dynasty who should do it? ”
“…… Your Majesty, what the son did today is indeed not a human king's act. Sun Jing raised his head and knocked down heavily. This sentence also made everyone in the tent agree in their hearts, indeed, compared with this emperor, it can be said that it is too inauthentic.
-------------------- "If Your Majesty does this, then I am afraid that there will be no more troubles in the grassland." Your Majesty! And at this moment, Jiang Fu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, was the first to grit his teeth and stand up, respectfully bowing to the ground and speaking.
Immediately, Sun Zhirui, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, also stood up and bowed down in front of Zhu Qizhen's case, and at this time, Yang Jun and Shi Biao made eye contact, and the two also strode out and knelt on the ground. Seeing that Shi Biao was like this, Shi Heng, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, and also stood up and bowed to Zhu Qizhen and fell to the ground. "Your Majesty Shengming ......"
Originally, the commanders and generals who were still skeptical saw this scene and knew that now they must also express themselves, you must know that the border towns of the Ming Dynasty are counted in terms of military strength, with Jizhou and Xuanfu as the most, and Datong Town is deliberately imposed by Zhu Qiyu, and its military strength is not inferior to Jizhou and Xuanfu.
And these three towns plus a piece, compared with the rest of the towns, in terms of military strength alone is far superior, and more importantly, these three towns happen to be around the Beijing Division, it can be said that the attitude of their three towns has faintly determined the direction of tomorrow.
One by one, the general soldiers and generals left their seats one after another and bowed down in the big tent, Zhu Qizhen had already straightened his back at the moment, sat solemnly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, looking at Jiang Fu, who was the first to jump out and express his attitude first, Zhu Qizhen really felt a kind of crying and laughing in his heart.
This guy is really an authentic and typical wall-head grass, that thought, in front of him, fell on his side, but outside, as soon as he received the holy decree of his good brother Zhu Qiyu, he immediately swayed, and this time, he jumped out and jumped faster than that Sun Zhirui, I can't help but say that his ability to see the wind and make the rudder is really great, but this is also beneficial.
As soon as the three important commanders fell, the others naturally bowed to the wind, although they only expressed their attitudes, and did not represent their true thoughts in their hearts, but at least, on the surface, they had already switched to their own side. As long as you can exert a little more force, you can be sure that they will be one on the outside and on the inside.
Zhu Qizhen strode forward and solemnly helped all the generals and generals who fell to the ground one by one. returned to the front of the case, looked at the faces, looked at the majestic figure with armor and armor, and thought about the hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers on the grassland, as well as the golden family that was about to become history. Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and slowly pulled the sword from his waist out of its scabbard...... Zhu Qizhen looked at the saber in his hand, took a deep breath, and gently stroked the sword body with the fingers of his left hand, feeling the cold and cold fierceness, and there was a pride in his voice that no one could object. "I originally passed on to him Zhu Qiyu, hoping that he could make Da Ming strong again, and let those enemies who dared to show their fangs at my Da Ming in the past be wiped out one by one.
But what he did after he ascended the throne, except for his own selfishness, no more achievements, this is fine, but he still wants to poison me, my children, what makes me extremely sad is that in front of such a good situation, he disregards the safety of the Ming Empire and the peace of the people, and has only selfish interests in his heart, but no world.
What a disappointment for me. His position as emperor of Zhu Qiyu was given to him by me, and since he does not have this ability, then I am qualified to take it back. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen's sword eyebrows raised, his eyes swept over the generals present, and his voice became more and more cold like a sword in his hand. "You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and now you are willing to follow me, and I am very relieved. You don't live up to me, I don't live up to you. I would like to swear with you that if anyone dares to violate the covenant of today, there will be such a case. Before the words were broken, a sword was slashed, and a cold light flashed, and the heavy wooden case was slashed off by Zhu Qizhen's brute force.
Looking at the corner of the table that was cut off and neatly broken, and then seeing Zhu Qizhen's solemn face overflowing with a trace of murderous intent, all the generals couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, and once again bowed in the big tent and made an oath in front of Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen finally showed a smile on his face, and his expression flew as if the hidden dragon was about to take off. "Rest assured, Aiqing, I will not let you down, what I want to do is to create an unprecedented prosperous Ming Dynasty, and you, the soldiers of the Ming Empire, will become the sharpest sword in my hands, and leave the most colorful stroke for future generations."
"The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" I don't know who was the first to roar, and then dozens of generals in the big tent shouted in unison, the sound was so loud, so loud, so fierce, that even the curtain of the big tent couldn't help but roll and fly.
And the sound also passed through the tent cloth, out of the big tent, echoed in the air around the big tent, and into the ears of the Ming soldiers around the big tent. And hearing the voice coming from the tent, Qian Zhong, who had been pressing the handle of the knife on his waist all the time, and his expression was so serious that he could even be said to be nervous, couldn't help but let out a sigh of air, and after glancing at that Qian Ning, he couldn't help but show a happy face.
