Li Mu knelt on one knee and said to Zhang Yan that the Jurchens were the clan of the Ming Dynasty who would never recruit peace, which meant that no matter what changes occurred between the two sides in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As long as the Ming Dynasty exists, it is impossible for the Jurchen clan to be forgiven by the Ming court, and even if the Jurchen surrenders, they must pursue their crimes of traitor.

This is to put the Ming and Jurchen on the feud all of a sudden, as long as Zhang Yan and the Ming Emperor make an order, this feud will never be resolved.

The only way to solve it is that only one side fails, as in history, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens, or the Jurchens were completely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty and enslaved forever!

Obviously, everyone present, including Zhang Yan, understood the meaning of this, and looked at Li Mu, who was kneeling on one knee, and did not say a word for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Yan couldn't bear to see Li Mu like this, and said: "Li Aiqing will calm down first, even if the mourning family agrees to you, but now that the Jurchens are powerful, what will the court use to crusade against the traitors?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Hearing that Zhang Yan also had some disagreeing thoughts, the minister who was kneeling with His Highness raised his head in a hurry and said.

"Queen Mother Mingjian, now that the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, a large number of local guards are deserted, it can be said that it has almost reached the point where the army is green and yellow, and it is impossible to really face the female confrontation, only the strong wall is clear, and sticking to the border defense is the best policy."

"The Queen Mother Mingjian."

"Queen Mother Mingjian!"

These ministers are also ruthless, in order to let Zhang Yan understand their good intentions, they all kowtowed on the ground one by one, but there were also sneaky and slippery, they didn't really kowtow when kowtowing, they dotted it, and some of them put palms underneath.

There are shrewd, and there are stupid, and they kowtow a red and blue mark on their foreheads to show their loyalty.

Zhang Yan has never seen this kind of battle, on weekdays, the court summons or something, and the ministers only need to bow down to show their respect for the royal family.

Now kowtow, I really can't stand it, in the etiquette of the Han people, only in front of the high hall, when worshipping heaven and earth, do a big bow and bow, and only a few times to meet the emperor, do you need to kneel and worship.

Originally, the kneeling just now was scary enough, but now the head was knocked up, and Zhang Yan was scared and said anxiously: "Everyone, how is this good, please hurry up, don't you have a promise yet, please get up quickly." ”

After speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair and stretched his hands forward to make a pretended lifting motion.

"Queen Mother, the ministers and others are dedicated to the court." Seeing that Zhang Yan was panicked, these ministers couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, there was no sign of getting up from the ground, but they kowtowed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this good for the mourning family." After speaking, Zhang Yan glanced at Li Mu helplessly, feeling that this time she could only follow the opinions of these ministers.

Li Mu saw Zhang Yan's eyes, full of apology and helplessness, he didn't have any unhappiness, and smiled back with understanding, he could see that these ministers were kneeling and kowtowing as a threat.

Threatened Zhang Yan not to agree to his proposal, threatening the imperial power to only agree to the proposal of these ministers.

Such a threat is a peculiar phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, and it is Zhu Yuanzhang's habit of giving these ministers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the emperor and their opinions are to the left, he likes to use threats to force the emperor to nod and agree.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use his life as a bargaining chip.

However, what Li Mu hates the most is this, he always likes to threaten others with his life, and then stand on the moral high ground to win, and take his opponent as proof of their integrity.

It seems that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all this kind of negative teaching materials, and they have been threatened by the ministers many times to succeed, and they have become the opposite of the ministers who defend the people, the country, and the court.

I don't see these iron-clad and upright ministers who behaved in the Ming Dynasty, and they did this in the Qing Dynasty, but they were trained to live like a slave.

"Bang dang!"

The impact of iron against the ground sounded, causing the minister, who was kneeling on the ground to kowtow, to stop, and saw that on the gold brick floor of the main hall, there was a treasure knife with a bright yellow scabbard trembling.

Then an indifferent voice sounded: "Are you going to be dead next?" If that is the case, there will be no trouble, there is a knife on the ground, lest you not only feel pain when you hit the wall, but also pollute the environment of this hall. ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Mu as if to say, who is going to die, you are going to die, get an inspection team to toss us, isn't being an official just for a little power, for money, and for women? Are we easy?

These ministers glanced at each other and nodded, it was not easy, and now they have to kneel and kowtow, and said very painfully.

Besides, we didn't say that we should compare it to death, so what is the point of throwing a knife on the ground?

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, get up quickly, how can the imperial knife given to you by Li Aiqing's family and His Majesty be thrown so indiscriminately, don't you take it as an example." ”

Knowing that Li Mu wouldn't pick it up herself, she didn't want to get up to pick it up, so she motioned to Wei Zhongxian, who had nothing to do next to her, to pick up the knife.

Receiving the signal, Wei Zhongxian quickly ran two steps to pick up the imperial sword, came to Li Mu and said while handing the knife: "Lord Li, your imperial sword." ”

"Xie Weigong." Li Mu smiled, took the imperial sword from Wei Zhongxian's hand, and hung it on his waist again.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and didn't speak, with an expression of not participating in anything, he returned to the dragon case, and concentrated on being his imperial pen.

Li Mu, who took back the knife, looked at the ministers who stood up in a hurry and said: "No matter how much this seat has, this seat only knows that you, as the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of War, should take responsibility for the abolition of the Ming Dynasty's military equipment. ”

"However, I think it's time for the Ministry of War to come up with a decent strategy for reforming the military system, and the lifelong system of military personnel should be changed, what does the army want an old man to do?"

Regarding the Ming Dynasty's lifelong inheritance system, Li Mu believes that it is better to say in the early days, but in the late period, this system is simply cumbersome, more like the agricultural reclamation corps on the plane, and it is even more bloated than the agricultural reclamation corps.

I can't tell whether there are more peasants or more soldiers.

After listening to Li Mu's proposal, a certain minister said: "But the reform will be blocked by the local health center." ”

"It's okay, the embroidered spring knife on Jinyiwei's waist is not wood." Li Mu smiled, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be bloody, which made the hearts of these ministers tremble.

But I was very happy in my heart, finally not only the civil officials were unlucky, but now the military attachés also began to be unlucky, it was obvious that they listened to the meaning of Li Mu's words, this is the iron heart to reform the Ming Dynasty's military equipment, and those who do not obey will be killed.
