The first order was passed very smoothly, after all, the interests of the eighteen zhi are not very big for the princes of the imperial court, and even if they are a little, they can't intervene, so the emperor can toss as much as he wants, and no one will come to oppose it, even Lantian's eyeliner in the court will not jump out to oppose it, after all, they know that they have no objection, and they may become the target of the princes of the imperial court.

The first order is complete.

The second order, Chongzhen waved his hand, and Wang Chengen said: "Today's second topic, Your Majesty is grateful to Lantian County for making Li Chaosheng loyal and brave, and he has done his best for the country, and now he is ready to personally send someone to send the eldest princess to Lantian to comfort her merits." ”

As soon as this holy decree came out, the ministers below all looked at each other, and their expressions were very strange, they had also heard about Lantian's divorce, they felt that the emperor would be in peace if he was so humiliated, so he thought that he would send the princess to Lantian for the second time, isn't this a crime?

The eldest princess is the princess of a country in the end, representing the face of the Ming Dynasty, and now in order to tie up a courtier, when people clearly express their unwillingness to marry the princess, they will send the princess to other people's territory again to express condolences, you are too shameless.

This is the princess of the Ming Dynasty, not the singer in the hook column, how can she be so humiliated?

Thinking of this, a white-bearded old man came out of the ministers, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, no, the princess is the face of the Ming Dynasty, that Lantian Xiao'er openly refused His Majesty's marriage, which is already a great rebellion, and now His Majesty will send the princess over, wouldn't it raise the arrogance of this villain, but also put the face of the Ming Dynasty on the ground, and let the young people trample on it, Your Majesty does this, but it is worthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and it can block the mouths of the people of the world." ”

"If Your Majesty insists on this, the Ming Dynasty will become the laughing stock of the world, and the imperial authority will be gone, and in the end, the country will not be a country!"

Chongzhen listened to the words of the old minister, glanced at the old minister, his face was familiar, it seemed to be from the Hanlin Academy, this group of Qing Hanlin, one by one, thought they were noble, they had always been high-eyed, talking to people and looking at the sky, especially like not to do things according to reality, the court used them in fact, they were actually setting up the archway, because these old Hanlin regarded themselves as moral benchmarks, so at this time, when they saw that the emperor didn't want a Li Chaosheng's face, he suddenly stopped doing it, and knelt on the ground to oppose the emperor to continue to do this humiliating thing.

Chongzhen's face was a little red when the old man said it, but he didn't think of how to refute the old man, so he saw Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, stand up directly, pointed at the old man and scolded: "Old horseman!" ”

Zhou Yanru's old man screamed and gritted his teeth, which frightened the old man all over, and then looked at Zhou Yanru in surprise, thinking that this old man was sick, and this voice almost scared himself to death.

At this time, I saw Zhou Yanru's eyes red as if he was about to breathe fire and glared at the old man and scolded: "Old horseman, you dare to humiliate Your Majesty like this, Your Majesty will not hesitate to lose face for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and let the princess send an envoy with the heart of a thief, this is something that can only be done by a famous monarch through the ages, comparable to the ancient Han Xin, you can bear the humiliation of the crotch, and you, the old horseman, Qinggui Hanlin is used to it, and you only know how difficult it is to sell your reputation and reputation, do you know how difficult it is for the Ming Dynasty to count down Your Majesty in public, you are a capital crime, and the minister is willing to ask Your Majesty to treat this crime of disrespect!" ”

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, he saluted Chongzhen, Chongzhen didn't speak when he saw this, and then Chen Xinjia directly came out and said: "The minister seconded the words of Zhou Ge Lao, Your Majesty has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, and even can endure the rude request of Lantian Xiaoer, it is really touching the heavens and the earth, and now this old horseman dares to speak wildly to His Majesty, it is simply intolerable, please Your Majesty, give an order, behead this bureaucratic dog, in order to set an example, the incompetent people in the world in the province come out to bark and make people upset." ”

"You, you!"

The old man almost died of anger, trembling at this time, stretching out his fingers, pointing at Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Zhou Yanru looked at the old man and thought to himself, this matter was originally promoted by himself, the purpose was to sacrifice a princess in exchange for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the royal disgrace, this matter did not damage the interests of the princes of the court in the slightest, but you old gangsters jumped out to oppose it is a few meanings, when does the court need an old gangster like you to come out and do things.

Therefore, Zhou Yanru directly jumped out of charge of his identity and scolded this old guy, and an old man of Zhou Yanru's level took the lead in appearing, which represents a signal, this signal is that there is no room for negotiation in this matter, and all the officials of Zhou Yanru's faction can carry out the most brutal attack on this person.

So after Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia ended up to characterize this matter, the remaining civil and military ministers all came out to carry out the most cruel verbal and written criticism of this old Hanlin, and the words were quite ugly, and the angry old Hanlin's beard trembled, and he didn't turn it down in one breath and fainted above the court.

Seeing this scene, everyone knows that this old Hanlin is finished, he has done so much evil to the princes and ministers above the court, what good end can he have, and in the people, his reputation is also over, at least the name of a person who sells his reputation and reputation can't be taken off, and Lao Hanlin is not afraid of offending the emperor.

If you offend the emperor, the minister of civil and military affairs will give him a reputation, if the emperor is killed, it will be even more amazing, and he will be blown to the sky by the civil and military ministers, and it is not a problem to leave a name in history.

But offended the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, that is the end, he used to be a member of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, of course he knows what the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military methods are to deal with a person, the emperor is in control of life and death, but if they kill them, they will become famous, and many people dream of leaving a name in history.

Therefore, the ministers are not very afraid of the emperor, but the ministers are very afraid of annoying most of the officials who are ministers in the same palace, if they are isolated by these people, then they may not be able to lose their lives, but the reputation they cherish most in their lives will be stinky.

You must know that the public opinion of the world is in the hands of these civil ministers, they are powerful above the court, and their disciples are all over the world, and they are the top families in the local area, for the local people, the county officials may take turns, but these families will remain unchanged for a long time and rule them forever.

An official represents the local forces in this place, and now he offends the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, that is basically the whole world will know that he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, so isn't his life over?

All the ministers are the ancestors of the rudder who saw the wind, and when they saw Zhou Yanru speak, they immediately said that this old Hanlin is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and Lao Hanlin is directly dizzy, of course, it may also be pretending to be dizzy, after all, in this case, he is definitely better than not dizzy, so he will be dizzy if he is not dizzy.

"Your Majesty, this old thief has fainted!"

At this time, someone saw Lao Hanlin fainting, and he couldn't bear to remind Chongzhen, Chongzhen just woke up from watching the excitement, this group of bastards was so excited before, or to deal with themselves, this time watching them dog-eat-dog, Chongzhen felt that there was something else to do.

"Well, what Zhongqing said is very true, that Zhou Ge Lao, what do you think should be done with this bureaucracy?"

When Zhou Yanru heard this, he looked at the old Hanlin who was pretending to be dizzy on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, disrespecting Your Majesty should be a capital crime, but Your Majesty, this official is old and frail, and he has been an official for many years, and he has no merit and hard work, so it is better to dismiss this official from his post, rush back to his hometown, and never be hired." ”

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this: "Well, it is reasonable, then according to what Zhou Ge Lao said, this official will be dismissed and dismissed, and he will never be hired, and he will be dragged out." ”

"Yes."

Soon, the guards standing guard at the gate dragged people out, Lao Hanlin dragged them away, Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru, and Chen Xinjia said: "The two of you think that I sent the princess to Lantian again, right, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru said directly: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty's move is really the luck of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty does not care about personal honor and disgrace, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he is willing to let the princess marry Lantian and reward the pillars of the country, this is what the Ming Jun did, the minister thinks that His Majesty's move is very right, compared with personal honor, the Ming Dynasty is eternal, and it is something that Your Majesty should consider." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty can ignore personal honor and disgrace, let the princess marry Lantian for the second time, this is a great perseverance, the minister thinks that His Majesty is really a model of the famous monarch through the ages, if you can really exchange the princess for Lantian's allegiance, it is definitely the luck of the Ming Dynasty, it is the luck of Your Majesty."

】

Chen Xinjia also patted his ass on the side at this time, and he wanted to be more explicit and explicit, almost to praise Chongzhen, and Chongzhen didn't feel anything wrong, after all, he sent his daughter out, so endured humiliation, you don't say two good things about me, it's really impossible to say.

To put it bluntly, Chongzhen is now self-moved, and when a person is self-moved, he dares to accept all the unrealistic compliments that others have about him.

Because he feels that he has endured humiliation, so he should have a good result, just like Chongzhen now, he feels that he has let go of his self-esteem and gave his most beloved daughter to Li Chaosheng again, Li Chaosheng should be moved, feeling that the emperor's grace is vast, he should be willing to serve Chongzhen to drive, and he should help Chongzhen to subdue the world.

After all, he put down his dignity for Li Chaosheng, and he also dedicated his most precious thing to Li Chaosheng, why didn't Li Chaosheng accept it?

At this moment, Chongzhen is like a licking dog who is carried away by love, thinking that he has given all his beautiful things to the goddess, and the goddess will be moved and be with him.

In fact, they don't know that women are never chased, when you are good enough, women will chase you on the pole, and when a man regards a woman as a goddess, he unconsciously dwarfs himself, God can only be with God, how can he be with ordinary men like himself.

Therefore, whether it is chasing a woman or working, it is most taboo to be moved by yourself, just like at work, you are clever and work overtime for the boss, thinking that the boss will definitely be able to see your own efforts and will definitely repay you in the future.

But in the eyes of the boss, you are just a useful laborer, and you work overtime, which is voluntary, you want to increase your salary, reap benefits, and wait for the next life.

So self-touching is the most desirable, and the emperor is the same, when Chongzhen is self-moved, he feels that he has done a lot, you Li Chaosheng refuses once, will you refuse the second time?

My dignified emperor is so groveling, you shouldn't be moved by the five bodies to the ground, eager to bow down, even if you don't bow down, should you marry my daughter, obediently be my son-in-law, stay in Lantian honestly, thank the emperor for his grace, don't give me a whole moth at this time.

Therefore, Chongzhen also feels that he is very great, not only great but also endures humiliation and burden, comparable to the Ming Goujian, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and one day, he will lead the Ming army, sweep the northwest, capture Li Chaosheng alive, and let him know that the best emperor in the world is himself.

Chongzhen was moved by himself and praised by the civil and military ministers, and issued a second will, ordering Cao Huachun to lead three hundred brocade guards to escort the princess to Lantian to comfort Li Chaosheng of Lantian County, and bring some royal things that were not very valuable as rewarded by the emperor.

After all, the valuable Chongzhen was ready to rush into the inner treasury to solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty, but there was no spare money to reward Li Chaosheng, and the reason why he asked the princess to bring something to Lantian was mainly because Chongzhen felt that Zhu Yujiao, a daughter, was too sensible, and he should bring something to his daughter, otherwise he would be underestimated by Lantian when he arrived in Lantian.

Therefore, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and asked Princess Changping to bring some things to Lantian.

The holy decree was issued, the princess prepared for one day, and left Beijing in two days, so two days passed, accompanied by the great eunuch Cao Huachun, Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping left the capital for the first time.

In the Forbidden City, Queen Zhou took Zhu Yujiao's hand and was reluctant to let go, as if she wanted to send her daughter to the execution ground.

"Mother, the hour has come."

Zhu Yujiao looked at Queen Zhou's eyes with tears in her eyes, and Queen Zhou wept silently when she heard this: "Daughter, be more careful when you go to Lantian, then Li Chaosheng I heard that he is a cruel person, many large families in Lantian have been confiscated of property, and the land has been driven out, if you don't agree a little, you will be beheaded, you go this time, you must be careful, don't anger the murderer, if you don't succeed, flee back quickly, don't think about the idea of dying with him, you have to remember, you have a queen mother at all times." ”

Zhu Yujiao said: "It's the queen mother, I know, then I'll get in the car." ”

"Sister, sister!"

Zhu Yujiao turned around and wanted to get into the carriage, at this time Queen Zhou called again, and the two little princes also called, Zhu Yujiao smiled and said: "Okay, you all go back, and the two of you, study hard, don't make the queen mother angry, you know?" ”

"Got it."

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong responded at this time, after saying this, Zhu Yujiao looked back at the palace where he lived, and the father he wanted to see, but Emperor Chongzhen did not come to send it today, Zhu Yujiao was disappointed and blocked the carriage curtain, and said to Cao Huachun: "Father-in-law Cao, let's go." ”

"Yes."
