The Emperor waited for this letter.

A note that gave him a reason to pick up a knife.

With this, he'll be good at making an article.

So even if you feel a little unwell, tomorrow morning will be the same.

The rooster is breaking dawn, and the sky is getting bright.

The emperor took a bowl of docile conditioning medicine yesterday, and after falling asleep, he was heavy, but he felt a little unpleasant when he woke up in the morning, and he always felt that his body was a little heavy.

I don't have much strength on my body.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a break today?" Qiuyun, who was waiting for his change, was worried.

The girl wore a turquoise dress, verdant, very beautiful, Zhu Houzhao took her warm little hand, and leaned on the back of her hand for a while.

"No, I'm going to court today."

Qiuyun was slightly resentful, but her hands still kept moving, no matter how the emperor chose, things were ready.

If you choose to go to court at this moment, then take a slice of cut ginseng.

And also......

"Your Majesty, the medicine still needs to be drunk."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand quite resistantly, he was not feeling well and got up early in the morning, he had no appetite at all, and he didn't want to eat delicious food, let alone medicine.

"A bowl of warm water is fine. I really can't drink this medicine. ”

Qiu Yun could roughly understand the emperor's mood, so he said, "Okay then." Your Majesty will take a little rest in the afternoon today, and then Qiuyun will rub your shoulders for you. ”

"Okay."

There are important things today.

It is one thing for the Great Dynasty to be anticlimactic, Yang Yiqing, Zhou Shangwen, Yibula and others have to return to Datong. The border guards pay attention, what if this knotted Tatar calls?

Compared with this, how to fight in the court is really a trivial matter.

As for the silver, now that Gu Renyi has come up, many people are too busy to take care of themselves, and the land in their hands is hot, and they are reluctant to retreat, and they don't know how to use it.

The cabinet has not studied too deeply, and the so-called concession to the people has already given the emperor a more thorough 'concession to the people'.

Moreover, this year's recital on the expedition to Tatar was not approved by the emperor.

Basically, it was a compromise, so the people on both sides still accepted it.

For Zhu Houzhao, a little more time to prepare, naturally one more point to win the hope of the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, even if it is good to raise one more war horse and train one more soldier.

There is no need to rush to make a risky move immediately.

However, if you think that you will come to Zhengde for two years, it will not be stable, because the blockade of trade can easily lead to war. Despite all kinds of smuggling, once the official controls this border trade, the cost of smuggling rises dramatically and the volume of goods traded decreases.

This still has a great impact on the country, the grassland is already scarce, and the amount of smuggling is not enough.

They didn't have anything to do but come and grab it.

This point was clear to the Ming army from the time of the implementation of the blockade strategy, and even forced them to come.

Another point is that in the intense pre-war preparations, Zhu Houzhao planned to send Ma Rong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, as an envoy to contact the other two 10,000 households.

Economic, political, and military means are all indispensable. This steady and progressive frontier strategy was the overall tone set by the emperor in the end.

In a word, whether to fight this year or not, it depends on this little prince of Dayan Khan, if you don't fight, I will continue to block you and weaken you, if you fight, then accompany you to the end.

Under this situation, the military situation in the frontier has actually taken the initiative. The situation is also much better than a few years ago, when it was simply defensive.

Yang Yiqing, Yang Shangyi, Zhou Shangwen......

These people met the emperor according to the process of the early dynasty, and the emperor gave a few more instructions, and then they could leave Beijing.

This was originally normal, but this morning was extremely depressed, and it was clear that there were a lot of things in Beijing, but except for the process to be carried out by this kind of 'courtier who left Beijing', no one came out to speak.

The emperor himself also had some 'coughing' sounds, which seemed to suppress the overall mood.

The actual reason is known to all the ministers.

In Gu Renyi's recital, His Majesty was for the people everywhere, but he didn't dare to move forward when he saw the suffering of the people, and directly brought the emperor to scold him.

In the past few years, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have become more and more afraid of the emperor, and they have hardly seen anyone use such words to give the emperor a favor.

And in the early days, many people saw that the emperor was slightly coughing and his face was not good, so they guessed that he must have been angry. So I was afraid of touching the mold, so I was naturally much more silent.

In fact, it's not just Gu Renyi's note.

And if they don't speak, it doesn't mean that Zhu Houzhao only said 'retreat from the dynasty with nothing' and skipped over, they have all reached this juncture, where is there such a cheap thing.

"In the past few days, the Beizhili has done the matter of dividing the fields, up and down the court, inside and outside the Beijing Division, there are many courtiers who speak out and are sparse, and the civil officials of the ministers and ministers have invaded the people's fields. I...... Ahem. Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists and coughed twice, and then continued: "I think Gu Renyi is the most intense, it turns out that it is just a small county in Yibin, and he even questioned me, saying that I was afraid, and compared me to Yuan Benchu, who was fierce and timid. ”

At this point, the hall was silent.

It's not wanting to live anymore.

Zhu Houzhao also paused slightly, his eyes were biased, and fell on Li Dongyang, "Elder Li Ge, I don't remember a little, among the Three Kingdoms, how did Cao Cao describe Yuan Benchu?" ”

Li Dongyang didn't dare to reply for the first time, but said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Son of Heaven, how can it be compared to Yuan Shao, who lives in a remote place and is the king. ”

"Reply, talk." Zhu Houzhao emphasized.

Li Dongyang had no choice but to say: "Cao Cao said that Yuan Shao is a very timid person who is indecisive and indecisive; Do big things and spare yourself, forget your life when you see small profits, and you are not a hero. ”

"After dividing the land of the Huangzhuang and stealing a sentence or two of the name of the Holy Monarch, I stopped here, Li Ge Lao, did you say that I forgot my life because of the small profit?"

"The ministers all say that I am the holy monarch of the Ming Dynasty, but I do know that if Beizhili only divides the Huangzhuang and Zhongguan's Zhuangtian, there will be no place for the people to stand, but I have not had a holy decree so far. Elder Xie Ge, do you think I'm doing something big and sparing my life? ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were named, and there was no other way, and the old body trembled and knelt down.

"Your Majesty is extremely talented, wise and decisive, and is the wise monarch of my Ming Dynasty! A Yibin Zhixian County, suddenly promoted, carried away, do not know the height of the sky, so there is such a terrifying word, the minister asks His Majesty to decree, kill this humiliation and the monarch's father, disloyal and unfilial ministers, in order to set an example! ”

"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, what he said is what I did, kill him, and the facts will not change."

"Your Majesty!"

"Ahem." Zhu Houzhao's face was indifferent, he didn't have so much strength, but his emotions were accumulated in his chest, and he couldn't help but rise and fall, "Bring it up." ”

Liu Jin nodded when he heard this, "Yes." ”

The people he brought with him were caught overnight last night.

Zhu Houzhao still trusts the situation that Gu Renyi said, and he said in his recital that Wu Jiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, Shi Weijie, the deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, and the senator Qin You have encroached on more than 100 hectares of people's land, and this matter can be confirmed with a little verification.

Three men, two fat and one thin, were tied into the Fengtian Temple, their hair was scattered, their faces were dirty, their eyes were red, and the green tendons between their necks were protruding, but they suffered a crime.

And apart from the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound in the Fengtian Temple, everyone knelt with their heads bowed, and many people wondered if there would be their names in the music piled up on the imperial case.

“…… I only checked these three people, and the land deeds and properties were all physical evidence, and the British Duke told me that some of the land in the house were also bought. Good. It is possible that the British public generation is expensive. But you, Wu Jiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Shi Weijie, the deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, are all from a poor family, where did they earn the money to buy more than 10,000 acres of land? ! Ahem. ”

Zhu Houzhao's voice was loud, and he couldn't help coughing.

Liu Jin panicked, "Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the dragon body!"

"I'm very good!" Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't help it after a few days of depression, "Gu Renyi said that I did great things and cherished my body, I, where is the pity of my body, I am thinking about the monarch and ministers, why make people panic." But my courtiers, the voices from the various prefectures of Beizhili all said that the land of the Huangzhuang was not enough, have you seen these?!

The deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department is the fourth grade, and the Dali Siqing is the third grade member of the imperial court, one of the nine secretaries, and I have to depose it today and bind it in front of the palace. I have been on the throne for two years, and most of the officials standing here are hand-drawn by me, you have become like this, I am really heartbroken, I only feel ashamed of the first emperor, ashamed of the ancestors, and ashamed of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, looked a little helpless, and said with a long sigh: "Take them down, lock them up, and sentence them according to the law, and they will not be spared!" In addition, from now on, I will personally lead the chamber of attendants, the celebrant and the brocade guard, and check the heads of the inseparable farms in various parts of the North Zhili, and whoever they find will have to explain to the imperial court how your field came from. Even if it's a transaction, you have to have a certificate, right?

I know that many of you are loyal and will try to persuade me that if you do this, the world will be in turmoil. But the civil unrest is imminent, and the common people have no land to rebel against the court, where is there room for whitewashing the peace?! I am in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, if anyone rebels and leads the troops in, I will give up this throne to whom! ”

If an emperor can't do what he thinks is right, then the emperor shouldn't be.

"Slave Liu Jin, swear to be loyal to Your Majesty!"

This sycophant has a bright trick, and when he saw this opportunity, he immediately knelt down to show his loyalty.

Seeing him like this, Jin Gui and Xie Pi in the chamber, Yang Yiqing and Emperor Wang Wei in the cabinet also expressed their attitudes at the first time, and the cabinet Li and Xie, as well as other important ministers in the six ministries and nine secretaries, also expressed their loyal words.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the palace handed over the holy decree: the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Wang Weijia, the crown prince and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, entered the cabinet to participate in the aircraft affairs, was given a jade belt and a robe, and reinstated the head of the minister of military aircraft, and still led the military affairs, and Wang Bing, the secretary of the military department, and Yang Tinghe ranked behind.
