Chapter 48 Punishment
Emperor Chongzhen was silent, of course he did not agree with the opinions of Liu Zongzhou and the Qing faction, but he was the emperor, he could not directly oppose the opinions of the courtiers, he had to wait for other courtiers to express the objections and reasons for him, and then judge the opinions of both sides from a detached position.
Zhou Yanru quickly figured out the holy intent, and retorted: "Lord Liu's words are wrong, can today's Huang Taiji and Datang's Jieli be the same thing?" ”
Liu Zongzhou asked rhetorically: "Why is it not the same thing?" Could it be that Lord Zhou thinks that long live is not as good as Tang Taizong's majestic strategy? ”
"Please don't talk about irrelevant topics to confuse the public." Zhou Yanru's face changed, and he retorted, "When Tang Taizong captured Jieli, the 400,000 Turkic iron cavalry had been completely annihilated by the Tang army, and the entire desert was completely under the control of the Tang army, so even if Jieli was put back, it had nothing to do with the overall situation; Today, although my Ming Dynasty captured Huang Taiji alive, and Shengjing, the nest of Jiannu, was also destroyed by Wang Zongbing, but tens of thousands of Jiannu iron horsemen were unharmed, and the entire Liaodong was still controlled by Jiannu. ”
Liu Zongzhou said loudly: "I, hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, millions of elite teachers, why not be afraid of tens of thousands of barbarians in Jiannu, forgive him and a Huang Taiji will not be able to turn the sky upside down, but if I kill Huang Taiji in the Ming Dynasty, it will damage the demeanor of a great country and the etiquette and integrity of the Chinese state." ”
"Fuck your big country demeanor, and etiquette?" Wang Pu couldn't hold back anymore, and scolded, "Do you know that just because of your great country demeanor and etiquette, how many border soldiers will die on the battlefield, how many hot-blooded men will never return to their hometowns, and how many young women in the boudoir have become widows since then, and how many children have become orphans since then?" ”
"Presumptuous! Wang Pu, you are too arrogant. Li Banghua, the imperial history of the right capital, was so angry that his beard trembled, and he scolded with his dry fingers, "You are just a small Datong general soldier, and you dare to be the palace to reprimand Lord Liu, Lord Liu is a dignified left capital imperial history, a second-class official, do you know what etiquette and shame are?" ”
"Fuck your etiquette?" Wang Pu shouted, "If you have the ability, you can lead the troops to Liaodong, talk to Jiannu about etiquette and shame, and sing high-profile and big words here, who wouldn't?" Anyway, it's not you who died, it's our border soldiers who died anyway, right? I want to ask you, the lives of our border soldiers are so not fateful? For the sake of a single of you dog officials, you have to go to the battlefield in the thousands? ”
"You, you ......"
Li Banghua was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Emperor Chongzhen on the jade ladder and two classes of civil and military ministers were dumbfounded, although the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was the most open, the ministers quarreled like shrews on the Golden Palace from time to time, and sometimes even staged martial arts dramas, the emperor generally did not interfere too much, but there has never been a scolding person who can be as vicious as Wang Pu.
Wang Pu is really angry, how can there be such a person from ancient times to the present? If the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of Jiannu, it is okay to be forced to return to Huang Taiji under the high pressure of Jiannu, which is called forced by the situation. But now that the Ming Dynasty has an overwhelming advantage, and Jiannu is just a barbarian tribe in Liaodong, why should Huang Taiji be put back?
If Emperor Chongzhen really listened to Liu Zongzhou's and put Huang Taiji back in Liaodong, the Ming soldiers on the Songshan front line would be in big trouble, how powerful and difficult Huang Taiji was, Wang Pu couldn't be clearer, he knew that it was better to stab Huang Taiji when he was on the road.
"Long live, the ministers seconded the general army of the king, and the emperor Taiji can't let go!"
"Long live, Huang Taiji should be killed."
"Please live the surname of the soldiers before the line, and don't go back to the mountains."
When the two factions of civil officials were at a stand, the military attaches of the five military governors, the governors of the five armies, the governors, the governors, and the commanders of the thirteen provinces came out to support Wang Pu, these military attaches were usually fed up with the anger of civil officials, and today Wang Pu scolded happily, and also gave them out of the evil anger in their chests, not to mention that what Wang Pu said is indeed reasonable, and it is reasonable to support Wang Pu.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the national policy of using literature to control the military, and the military attachés had no status, not to mention that the grades of these military attaches were very high, but in ordinary times, these military attaches were the decorations in the court, and they basically had no part in the national affairs. Today, however, the situation is different, because the opinions of the two factions of civilian officials are different and they are at odds with each other, so the opinions of the military attachés are very important.
However, it is obvious that the opinions of this group of military attaches cannot be finalized, and Emperor Chongzhen still needs more heavyweight opinions.
Emperor Chongzhen's gaze fell on Cheng Jiming, the head of the cabinet, and asked, "Cheng Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”
Cheng Jiming hurriedly stepped out of the column and knelt down on the Danqi, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his head, he didn't want to go against Zhou Yanru, nor did he want to fall out with Liu Zongzhou. Although Zhou Yanru is only a second assistant now, he served as the first assistant eight years ago, and his power in the court can be described as intertwined, and he can't afford to offend, Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua are even more difficult, because they are "righteous men and gentlemen" in the eyes of the world.
Cheng Ji is cautious as an official, and he doesn't want to offend anyone.
"Long live, the minister is already old and his heart is not strong, I am afraid that he will not be able to plan state affairs for Long live, so please tell the old man to return to his hometown."
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Cheng Ji actually chose the most negative countermeasure in a hurry-stack of pickers, I don't say anything, I can't offend either side, can't I be the first assistant?
The officials were stunned.
Emperor Chongzhen was even more stunned, shocked and even more angry!
The head of the cabinet and the minister of the country, but he doesn't even have the courage to express his opinions! What is the use of such a mediocre official keeping him in the court?
In a fit of rage, Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "I'm right." ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen."
Cheng Jiming solemnly took off his crown, knelt on the hall three times and nine kowtows, and then got up and left the hall alone, and the first generation of cabinet ministers ended their careers in such a disgraceful way.
Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to Zhou Yanru and said loudly: "Zhou Aiqing, that is, you will be changed to a scholar of the Huangji Palace." ”
The university hall system of the Ming Dynasty from high to low is the Imperial Palace, the Jianji Palace, the Wenhuadian University, the Wuyingdian University, the Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar, and the East Pavilion Scholar.
Zhou Yanru was changed to a scholar of the Imperial Palace, and he was actually the first assistant of the cabinet.
Zhou Yanru hurriedly got out of class and knelt down, and shouted with a pause: "Minister Zhou Yanru...... Thank you, Lord Longen. ”
Emperor Chongzhen said in an unquestionable tone: "I think that what Zhou Aiqing and Wang Aiqing played is not unreasonable, and letting go of Huang Taiji is undoubtedly in the return of the tiger to the mountain, but the Huang Taiji can be flailed through the streets first, in order to boost the hearts and morale of the people of Beijing and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and after three days, he will be sentenced to death at the entrance of the vegetable market!" ”
"Long live the Holy Wisdom."
"Long live the Holy Wisdom."
"Long live the Holy Wisdom."
Zhou Yanru, Wang Pu, the left and right governors, the governors of Tongzhi, the governors, the commanders of the thirteen provinces and other military attachés, as well as the civil officials headed by Zhou Yanru knelt down on the hall one after another, thunderous with joy, although Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and other Qingliu were not convinced, but since Emperor Chongzhen had already issued an order, they had nothing to say, and they would not offend Emperor Chongzhen's rebellion for the sake of Emperor Taiji.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the sky and said to Wang Chengen next to him: "Chengen, go and tell the imperial dining room, you can have a feast." ”
Although Liu Zongzhou's nonsense and troubles made Emperor Chongzhen very unhappy, today's celebration banquet must be held, which is not only to wash the dust for Wang Pu, but also to celebrate the return of the jade seal of the country, and to celebrate the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, at the banquet, Emperor Chongzhen had a major event to announce, and it was a happy event.
