Chapter 257: The Nation That Will Never Be Conquered
In the Humble Administration Palace, all the officials of the Ministry of War and the cabinet ministers arrived early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was indeed very early, and some ministers couldn't help yawning when they stood in the Humble Administrator's Hall, as if they hadn't woken up, which provoked other colleagues to open their mouths one after another, and under the chain reaction, the hall yawned for a long time.
"I said, can you colleagues not yawn early in the morning, it makes me want to yawn too, ah... Oh. ”
"Ah...., it's still early, I've been waiting for an hour, why hasn't the Queen Mother come yet."
"Also, in the past, the Queen Mother convened a small court meeting of the ministers, and she didn't see how long she waited, it's strange now."
"Poor, I was busy late last night, I thought this little pilgrimage would not be long, who thought about it for an hour, and it hasn't started yet."
Wei Zhongxian, who also arrived early, stood beside the dragon case with half-squinted eyes and took a break, turning a deaf ear to the discussions of these ministers, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
It wasn't until Wei Zhongxian heard in his ears that the door of the Humble Administrator's Hall of the Qianqing Palace was being pushed open, and he immediately opened his eyes and saw that the main door of the main hall was being slowly pushed open, knowing that the main lord had arrived, so he said in a deep voice to the ministers in the palace: "Ministers, I hope that the Queen Mother has arrived." ”
Let these people still discuss how the concubines at home last night were delicate and how good their kung fu was, and then mixed with some court politics, where there was an accident in the local area, and the gossip of the inspection team that the court officials were most concerned about.
Under Wei Zhongxian's reminder, he suddenly stopped his voice, closed his mouth, and looked solemn, without the obscenity when discussing the concubine just now, and said that the inspection team gritted his teeth.
No longer sleepy, he stood there with a hundred times more energy, waiting for Zhang Yan to enter the hall.
...
When the door of the palace was opened, Zhang Yan gave Li Mu a fierce look, and then she recovered the appearance that the queen mother should have, and slowly walked into the main hall.
"The ministers have seen the Queen Mother." The ministers of the palace greeted him.
Zhang Yan walked towards the dragon chair behind the dragon case in this respectful voice, and Li Mu followed behind, standing beside the dragon case like Wei Zhongxian and looking at His Royal Highness's ministers.
"Let's get even." After speaking, Zhang Yan sat down, but when she sat down, she moved a few times on the dragon chair like a prickly needle, and then sat down honestly.
Li Mu smiled when he saw this, but did not speak.
After the regular procedure was completed, a minister stood up and said, "Queen Mother, I don't know if the phoenix body is sick today?" For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people, Your Majesty is young, and I hope that the Queen Mother will keep the phoenix. ”
The minister's fart was very good, but it was on the thigh of Zhang Yan's rouge horse.
Hearing this sycophancy, Zhang Yan understood that these ministers thought that she came too late, probably because she was unwell, so she made this remark, her face looked unnatural, she knew that it was not because of this, she didn't dare to say the reason for coming late, so she had to admit it embarrassedly.
"The mourning family thanked Aiqing for her concern, and after the mourning family got up this morning, he felt tired, so he rested a little, but he bothered the ministers to wait for the mourning family here."
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Mu when the ministers were not paying attention, with a thick look of blame in his eyes, and after retracting his eyes, he continued to say with a straight face.
"Yesterday I informed the ministers to come to the Qianqing Palace to discuss the court, because the mourning family read the war report about Liaodong sent by Jinyiwei, and they were very indignant at the disloyal ministers of the Jurchens in the war report, and repeatedly violated the behavior of the suzerain, thinking that the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty were merciful and merciful, and in the most difficult time for these Jurchens, they took care of them, and took them in, and let them enter the court as officials. In vain to ignore the kindness of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty to them? ”
Regarding the topic of today's small court meeting, under Zhang Yan's service last night, Li Mu briefly told her, and in addition, on the way to come just now, some basic tones on the topic were set.
It can be said that there is an issue about the Jurchens today, and Li Mu has already expressed his views to Zhang Yan in advance, and it depends on how these ministers decide.
"The Queen Mother is angry, the barbarians have been disobedient to the king many times in history, no matter how long these barbarians have been attached, they will not understand the vastness and depth of my Central Plains etiquette, and the Queen Mother should not be angry about such things."
The official who had just been sycophant stood up again and comforted Zhang Yan, who was very angry with the Jurchens' repeated border violations.
I don't know much about the Jurchen Zhang Yan, I only know that this is a race that betrayed the Ming Dynasty in the early years, and if it became stronger, it began to invade the border of Liaodong from time to time, causing the court and the people to be uneasy.
These things that belong to the frontier of the imperial court will not make her feel much disgust when she is in the palace, after all, these things were far away from her before, and they only began to come into contact with this year.
The long words I said just now were learned from Li Mu's mouth.
However, now it is different, since Li Mu does not like the Jurchens, Zhang Yan feels that it is necessary to stand aside with her husband and be a sensible and obedient good and virtuous helper.
From today onwards, I hated the Jurchens with the same hatred in my heart, and when I heard the comforting words of the ministers below, Zhang Yan also ridiculed.
"The mourning family also thinks that no matter how much this barbarian pity, takes them in, and educates them, they will not be able to learn my Central Plains etiquette."
"It's just that this barbarian Jurchen has repeatedly violated my Ming Liaodong frontier, resulting in a huge amount of military salaries for the imperial court in the Liaodong area, and I don't know if you Aiqing can solve it."
"It can't be like now, these barbarian Jurchens commit a border, the Liaodong border army has to guard once, and then the imperial court will reward it once through the merits, so that if you go down to the Liaodong frontier frontier, you can drag down the entire Ming Dynasty, how can the ministers let the mourning family rest assured that they will return such an unbearable Daming country to the emperor in the future."
After speaking, Zhang Yan found the war report of the Ministry of War on Liaodong from the dragon case, picked it up and threw it on the dragon case, and a crisp sound sounded.
This crisp voice seemed to represent Zhang Yan's attitude, which made the hearts of all the ministers in the palace skip a beat, and they couldn't help but shrink their necks, and they all began to ponder.
Today's Zhang Yan is very different from the past, no matter what kind of government in the past, the queen mother who supervised the country and listened to the government gave them a kind of gentleness and not anger, and her words were soft.
This sudden anger made them very confused, and they didn't know how this Jurchen provoked the queen mother in the palace, and the difference between the two phases was very far.
After thinking about it, considering the strength of the Jurchens and the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, these ministers still opened their mouths to persuade: "The Queen Mother is angry, now the Jurchens are strong, they can't be touched, and they should be ......" ”
Li Mu, who was standing next to the dragon case, looked at the advice of these ministers below to Zhang Yan, although they were not the Ming officials in history, they were the same, there was no tough attitude, they were all dissuading, thinking that the imperial court should be strong and clear, and it was a foolproof strategy to take advantage of the strength of the city wall, and not take the initiative to attack and suppress the rebellion of the Jurchen clan.
Zhang Yan was also a little hesitant when she heard the persuasion of the ministers, and secretly looked at Li Mu, but saw anger in her lover's eyes.
At this time, Li Mu seemed to be tired of listening to these ministers chewing on the root of their tongues, and asked coldly: "What, do you want the ministers to let the Queen Mother follow the example of Emperor Taizu and make the Jin State built by the Jurchens a country that will never be conquered?"
