"This ...... This ......"

The small faces of the civil and military officials in the main hall immediately turned pale, and Shang Zhou, who was shouting vigorously just now to talk about Yueyang, grabbed it and handed it over to the three divisions for interrogation, and his legs began to tremble. Yue Yang now has 500 cavalry in hand, and it is not so easy to arrange troops and horses to capture him, and if the 3,000 cavalry at the gate of the city are aware of it and enter the city, thousands of cavalry are enough to stir up chaos in the capital, but the heavens seem to continue to let go of Shang Zhou's poor nerves.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, a warrior in front of the palace hurriedly came outside the hall, and I saw him trotting all the way to the main hall and knelt down to Zhu Youzhen and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly came outside the city, the number of soldiers and horses was about tens of thousands, and at this moment they stopped two miles north of the city to see that they played the banner of the Xuan army under the command of the Marquis of Zhongyong!" ”

"Let's ......"

A crisp sound sounded in the main hall, I don't know who dropped the ivory wat in his hand to the ground and broke into several pieces, and Shang Zhou's feet were even weaker, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, a royal historian on the side pulled him, so that he did not lose face in front of his colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty.

And Zhu Youzhen's face at this time also became extremely ugly, if the words of this warrior in front of the palace are true, it means that it is no longer a question of whether the imperial court wants to arrest Yue Yang and ask for guilt, but whether Yue Yang will raise his noble hand and let go of Daming, because according to the situation, if Yue Yang has bad intentions towards the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Empire, which has lasted for more than two hundred years, will be captured by him in less than half a day. And if Yue Yang knew that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing how to arrest him and put him in prison just now, he would have a reaction, and when he thought of this result, Zhu Youzhen felt that his hands and feet became extremely cold.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Zhu Youzhen's eyes became extremely cold when he looked at Shang Zhou, and an expressionless voice came out of his throat: "Come on, take down this scum who bewitches the public and slanders the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty and puts him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and hands it over to the Three Divisions to review and investigate the speculators after Ming, and never hire him!" ”

To be honest, Zhu Youzhen's words were already a little incoherent and illogical. He was sentenced before the judicial organs investigated and collected evidence, and even the order was reversed. But things are so ridiculous, although Zhu Youzhen's will is very absurd, but the hundreds of ministers in the hall were stunned that none of them raised objections, but acquiesced to their boss's order, in their opinion, Yue Yang will know about this matter sooner or later, rather than let him be furious and find someone to settle accounts afterwards, it is better to nip this disaster in the bud now. What did the ancestors say about this kind of thing? Dead Dao friends don't die poor Dao, the most important thing now is how to block Yue Yang's mouth and prevent this guy from finding an excuse to make a fuss, as for Shang Zhou, a former colleague, they can only silently say that brothers go all the way.

Because the opinions of the people are so unanimous. It is because the Ming officials, who have always been noisy and shouting for half a day to do everything, have become an amazing tacit understanding of a matter in less than a minute, Comrade Shang Zhou Fraud was immediately abandoned by them ruthlessly, who let him jump to the joy just now, is that when Yue Yang should enter the gate of the palace, Shang Zhou Fraud has been dragged down by a group of fierce warriors in front of the palace, waiting for him is the fate of disgrace and dismissal, and he has to guard against the former enemies after the loss of office to settle accounts with him.

After disposing of Shang Zhou's fraud, Zhu Youzhen and the ministers in the main hall were silent, and at this moment all of them were thinking about a topic, that is, what kind of attitude to use to treat Yue Yang. This is now the most powerful marquis and feudal town in the Ming Empire.

"Loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang has arrived!"

"Loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang has arrived!"

A sound like a relay race quickly spread to the Taihe Hall from a distance, waking up the monarchs and ministers who were still pondering.

"Xuan!" A slightly trembling voice spat out of Zhu Youzhen's mouth.

Yue Yang slowly walked through this extremely solemn complex, and to be honest, it was the first time he entered this palace complex that represented the highest center of power, whether it was in the Ming Dynasty or in modern time and space. In the modern era, this place has long been reduced to a place that is fully open for the sake of tickets. Only you have the money, even a beggar on the street can take a day trip here. In the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, he was now too low to be qualified to enter here, and now he is finally here, and he has come with countless troops and horses loyal to him. It is with these strong backing that Yue Yang can walk in with confidence with the rocker, because if something is wrong, he only needs to send a signal flare to the sky. The 500 soldiers outside the palace, the 3,000 iron cavalry at the city gate and the 30,000 male divisions outside the city gate will enter the capital with a thunderous force, this is where his confidence lies.

Under the watchful eyes of Chongzhen, civil and military officials, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Yue Yang stepped into this hall that symbolized the highest authority in China for hundreds of years.

"Right...... Let's ...... Let's ......."

Yue Yang's footsteps were firm and slow, as if stepping into the hearts of everyone step by step, his figure slowly appeared in front of everyone, when Yue Yang entered the Taihe Palace, he saw Chongzhen sitting on the yellow dragon chair, the last emperor of the Han people who had been busy for the Ming Empire for seventeen years but finally helplessly hanged himself on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain, the two people who had been separated by more than four hundred years immediately looked at each other, and then a clear and calm voice also sounded.

"Minister...... Yue Yang, the Marquis of Zhongyong and the governor of Xuanda, knocked to see our emperor...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Facing the man in front of him, Yue Yang knelt down on one knee.

Although this man has a series of shortcomings such as being cautious and self-serving, ignorant of people, ignorant of the people, not knowing how to care for the people, not employing people, being too suspicious, and being too strict, there is one thing that no one can deny, that is, the last emperor of the late Ming Dynasty was indeed using all his strength to save this dying and decrepit empire during his tenure, and it was ten times stronger than those gentry and gentry moths who would only desperately cling to the big tree of the Ming Empire to suck flesh and blood. It's a pity that this boss's empire has rotted to the roots, and it can't be saved by the strength of one person.

Looking at Yue Yang who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youzhen was also in a very peculiar mood, it was this guy...... Since his rise, he has shown a contempt for the imperial court, and he has constantly asked the imperial court for official positions and rights, and his appearance is comparable to that of the most greedy businessmen. But Zhu Youzhen had to admit that this guy's ability and greed complement each other. It was precisely in these years that he led his soldiers and horses to fight with the Qing army again and again, which beat the invincible Qing army to the ground. It was he who sent Huang Taiji, the enemy of life and death, to the western sky. And the most important thing is that this guy can also give him a huge amount of money and food every year, for Zhu Youzhen, Yue Yang is a cute and hateful guy.

"Aiqing is flat!" Zhu Youzhen's faint voice sounded in the main hall.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" After Yue Yang heard the voice, he immediately stood up, raised his gaze and calmly looked at Zhu Youzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair, and the two looked at each other for a while.

According to the system, when the courtiers and the emperor meet, they can't look at the emperor at eye level, if any courtier dares to look at the emperor like this, he would have been impeached by the imperial history all over the place, but now the atmosphere in the hall is very weird, no one made a sound, and there were two people who just looked at it.

It was the first time Chongzhen had seen Yue Yang, so he was very curious to look at this guy who made him admire and hate.

Yue Yang's height is only about 1.7 meters, his figure is not particularly burly, and his facial features can only be said to be upright. But when they are combined and cooperate with Shang Yueyang's unique temperament, a unique temperament is formed. After many years of military career and being in a high position and growing up in modern times, Yue Yang has a unique temperament that people in this time and space do not have, solemn, cheerful, confident and contemptuous of Qiē characteristics combine to form his unique style, making Yue Yang look solemn and cheerful, both iron-blooded and solemn.

While Zhu Youzhen was looking at Yue Yang, Yue Yang was also looking at the other party. According to historical records, Chongzhen was born in 1611 and is only twenty-six years old, but in the eyes of Yue Yang, this Chongzhen Emperor is no different from a forty-year-old middle-aged man, and you can see that his sideburns have become a little gray. Yue Yang had heard that the emperor would review and fold until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night every day, and he would get up again at six or seven o'clock in the morning to make an early pilgrimage, every day for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and he would do it for ten years. No wonder it looks like it is aging before it gets old.

Looking at Yue Yang, who was a little stunned, Zhu Youzhen, who was looking at the other party with interest, had to speak first, and he coughed lightly before saying: "Yue Aiqing, these days I have been thinking about what the courtiers who saved Daming and the upside-down look like. When I saw it today, I saw it, and it was really better to meet than to be famous! ”

Yue Yang bowed and said modestly: "Your Majesty has won the award, the minister is just doing his duty, and the minister, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor!" ”

"Well......" Zhu Youzhen nodded: "I ordered Aiqing to come here to see the most famous Hou Ye in the Ming Dynasty today. Second, I want to discuss with Aiqing about the future trend of my Daming, after all, if you want to discuss these things, you can't do without Aiqing. ”

Zhu Youzhen's words were already quite praised, and Yue Yang did not accept them all, but said modestly: "Your Majesty has won the award, five years ago, the minister was able to train the regiment with a small body, and then slowly entered the army, relying on the support of His Majesty and some adults in the court. It was an edict from His Majesty, and the ministers immediately arrived. ”

Yue Yang's words were not bad at the beginning, but the latter sentence made Zhu Youzhen very unhappy. Yes, you're here, but how did you get here? You came with a large army, and you are stationed in tens of thousands of troops outside of Gyeonggi, what are you doing here? Give me a dismount?

Chongzhen has never been a good-tempered person, at this time, when he heard Yue Yang say this, he felt a wave of unhappiness in his heart welled up in his heart, and he was originally a violent temper, and he immediately said: "I already know Aiqing's loyalty to the king, but I heard that Aiqing not only brought hundreds of soldiers into the city this time, but also stationed tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city, can Aiqing explain to me what this means?" ”

"Hiss......"

As soon as the ministers in the Taihe Hall heard this, their hearts were hanging, is Chongzhen preparing for a showdown with Yueyang? Or do you plan to immediately turn around and order the samurai in front of the palace to take him down, and then quickly cut through the chaos and kill him? But he has tens of thousands of troops outside the palace and outside the city, once he learns that something happened to Yueyang, those Qiu Ba people launched a madness, the consequences are unimaginable, and the entire capital will suffer, and the emperor is too reckless, right?

Yue Yang didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to question him so directly, but he was not stunned, but said very calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, there are many enemies of Weichen, if you don't bring more guards, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect Weichen." ”

At this time, even Zhu Youzhen was about to roll his eyes. It's almost the same as coaxing ghosts, your safety alone needs tens of thousands of people to guard, Lao Tzu is not as big as you, right?

But don't say it, Zhu Youzhen really can't do anything about this kind of cheeky answer, and after being stunned for a while, he said very unhappily: "Aiqing's words really surprised me, but does Aiqing know that your move has violated the law of Daming?" ”

Yue Yang's face did not change and said: "Weichen naturally knows, but Weichen is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and if there is a transgression, please ask the emperor for forgiveness!" ”

"Hey ......"

These are not only Zhu Youzhen, but even the ministers in the hall feel that this guy's face is too thick, you are the most famous military general in the Ming Dynasty. actually said in front of the Manchu Dynasty that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are not afraid of being ashamed? There was a royal historian who couldn't see it and wanted to stand up and drink Yue Yang on the spot, but was pulled back by a companion next to him, who whispered in his ear: "If you want to die, go over, if you don't want to die, shut up!" ”

Only then did this imperial historian remember, although this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, but what people are saying is also the truth, if he jumps out in a hurry, if people ask you if you are afraid of death, how will you answer? You dare to pat your chest and say that you are not afraid of death. People will immediately have people drag you out and go under the knife. If you say that you are also afraid of death, then why do you still stand up and say that people, is this the rhythm of 50 steps and 100 steps of laughter?

Seeing the silent hall, Zhu Youzhen was a little depressed for a while, this Yueyang was so different from the people he usually came into contact with. In the past, which minister saw that he didn't pat his chest and say that he was willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for the sake of Daming and his boss, but this is good, and he directly sued him that I came to the army because I was afraid that someone would harm me. Although Yue Yang didn't say who wanted to harm him, he had already faintly pointed to him, the Ming Emperor, on the sprouts. Look at the silence of the ministers in the entire hall. Zhu Youzhen felt angry, he felt that he would not be able to drive it down, and if he continued to drive, he would have to get angry on the spot.

Zhu Youzhen said with a calm face: "That's all for today's court meeting." "Finished. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he stood up, turned and walked down.

With Zhu Youzhen's departure, the eunuch who had been waiting below also hurriedly shouted "Scatter the ......", and then left in a hurry after Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen leave, Yue Yang was not surprised, this emperor's temper is not very good in both history books and reality, what he just said is so unsatisfactory that he didn't get angry on the spot, and he can still be expected to praise himself on the spot.

The surrounding civil and military officials left in an orderly manner according to their ranks, but no one came to talk to him, even if he said this, Yue Yang felt that he was so out of place in this court, and it seemed that he was completely isolated by them.

Shaking his head, he was about to leave, but he saw a little eunuch trotting to him, nodding and saying, "Marquis Yue, long live Lord is going to summon you in Kunning Palace!" ”

"Kunning Palace?" Even if Yue Yang is no longer sensible, he knows that Kunning Palace is where Empress Daming lives, wasn't Comrade Xiao Zhu angry with himself just now, why did he summon him again? Could it be that he ambushed five hundred knife and axe men in the Kunning Palace, and let him rush up and hack him to death while he was entering?

Thinking of this, Yue Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he seemed to be really too nervous, even if the old Zhu family's reputation was not good, he would not be playing this hand, and he wanted to deal with himself There is a place, and there is no need to do it in the place where the queen lives.

Yue Yang followed the little eunuch towards Kunning Palace, and when he left, he also wrote a note asking the little eunuch to send someone to Wuqing outside the palace to ask him to wait patiently for Yunyun, and after he finished writing, he followed the little eunuch towards Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace is the residence of Queen Zhou, and it stands to reason that it should be built very magnificently, but Yueyang walked all the way and found that although the entire Kunning Palace, including the palace, was built very solemn and antique, some places have been somewhat dilapidated because of disrepair. Seeing this, Yue Yang also sighed secretly, Comrade Xiao Zhu is not easy, he is busy resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty and exterminating the rogue in the territory, and those ministers in the court are still desperately taking advantage of the Ming court, this emperor is really aggrieved. Although he is nominally the king of a country, in fact, he might as well be at ease.

When Yue Yang followed the eunuchs through the palace to Kunning Palace, he saw Zhu Youzhen, who had changed into a yellow regular dress, and a beautiful young woman in a pale yellow Confucian skirt standing on the steps looking at him, and behind them stood a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Yue Yang knew that the young woman who looked elegant and virtuous standing with Chongzhen must be Empress Zhou, so he had to kneel down on one knee and salute the two of them again.

"The loyal and brave marquis knocks to see my emperor long live long live long live, the queen mother thousand years old thousand years old thousand years old ......" (to be continued......)
