Chapter nine hundred and fifty seventh: head-on attack

Zhengde Hall.

Chen Kaizhi's mood has gradually calmed down.

Obviously, the news that the rebels were about to attack had made many people feel uneasy.

Among them... some people couldn't help but step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Chen Kaizhi glanced at this person and had a little impression of him, knowing that he was Liu Huang, the left censor.

Liu Huang showed a worried look and said, "Your Majesty, I have some words. As the censor, I should have said it long ago. Today... I just made a statement, but it is my fault..."

After saying that, he fell to the ground, feeling in fear.

Chen Kaizhi stared at him and smiled: "I love you, but it's okay to say it." While speaking, Chen Kaizhi looked at Yang Zheng sideways.

Liu Huang said worriedly: "Your Majesty is in his prime, and he is healthy. Since he ascended the throne, my imperial court has been in a new atmosphere. It is already a sign of revival. It is a hidden sight. However... Your Majesty is too hurrying to govern the country. Not to mention Jibei, it is also exciting to just talk about the layoffs of the old and weak, and to eliminate the old and weak, but... Your Majesty... is too anxious. I am the censor, specializing in catching the wind and shadows, and share the worries of Your Majesty. Since the news of the layoffs of redundant and the elimination of the old and weak, as far as I know, the generals in the Beijing camp, and even the Imperial Guard camp, are dissatisfied and even complaining. There are countless people who are dissatisfied and complained about it."

After saying that, Liu Huang looked at Yang Zheng and showed an angry look: "What is this Yang Zheng? He is just a pirate. He is really good at dancing and has the confidence that he is today. Why do these confidences come from? The so-called fly does not bite seamless eggs is precisely because His Majesty wants to lay off the old and weak and eliminate the redundant staff. He just borrowed this east wind and thought he could do it. Now, things are urgent. There are only more than a thousand warriors in this palace, and there are still many rebels. It is unknown that the ministers can be foolish.

I am afraid that there are not a few rebels, why? It’s just because many generals and officials have been resentful in the daily life. Many military officers have been relying on the army to make a living. Some are corrupt, some are greedy and greedy for military pay. Some are even more foolish and incompetent. How could your Majesty not understand what you think? Your Majesty wants to promote the creation of a new army because many military officers are overly employed and cannot be used. Your Majesty understands this in his heart, why don’t you understand the officials in this temple?”

After a pause, Liu Huang said seriously: "But, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are observing, there will be no disciples; the accumulated deficiencies of the world are not accumulated overnight; and if Your Majesty wants to clear these dust, it cannot be completed overnight. In the past, the late emperors of previous dynasties did not fail to see the accumulated deficiencies, but because such a thing affects the whole body. Once a new policy is to be carried out in the army, wouldn't it be that the cornerstone of my Dachen have been removed?"

"Now, this is the case, the generals are uneasy, and they are taken advantage of by Yang. At this time, the matter is urgent, and there is almost no power to defend in the palace, and the rebels can gather in a blink of an eye. Please ask Your Majesty to temporarily abolish the new military policy at this time, and issue an order for the generals to perform their duties and promise them that they will never lay off redundant personnel. Only in this way can they stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time, they will completely capture all the Yang pirates. If they are not issued an order again... I am afraid that the major change is imminent, please ask Your Majesty to be clear and make a decision early."

What Liu Huang told me touched everyone's thoughts.

Yes, to put it bluntly, Yang Zheng still doesn't see the coffin and shed tears. Why? Isn't it because he relied on the rebels to gather together? He will enter the palace by then. At worst, he will die with Chen Kaizhi.

But once things reach this point, the country and country will be completely finished.

The only way at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army. If you want to stabilize the morale of the army, you can only compromise, abolish the new policies in the army, and make a guarantee to the generals and officials in the battalions in the capital. Although this is a way to make up for the loss, it is much better than sitting there and waiting for death.

Therefore, those generals used to drink soldiers and eat empty wages; so they didn't want to practice at all; even if they used to be bastards, how they ruined the spirit of the millions of soldiers and horses, but now, the only thing they have to do is to compromise. Only by compromising can the intensity of the rebellion be minimized.

Only by compromising and making guarantees can those rebels with unsteady will remain unmoved. In any case, we must overcome this difficulty today. The only way is to compromise.

Otherwise... Once someone raises trouble, there will inevitably be a large number of dissatisfied officers and soldiers. At that time, they will be surrounded by enemies and will die without a place to bury them.

Liu Huang's words are not unreasonable. He was originally the Zuodu Censor. On weekdays, Chen Kaizhi had some impression of him. This person was still a righteous person.

His suggestion was that Chen Kaizhi's movements were so impatient that it touched the fundamental interests of many generals. You should know that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are few people who have been promoted through military merits. Most military officers come by relying on their kindness. These people are either high or low. Once they are laid off, they will naturally be dissatisfied and naturally have resentment.

Chen Kaizhi stared at Liu Huang and then said, "What about you, do you think so?"

Chen Yishou smiled bitterly and walked out slowly: "The old minister thinks that what Liu Huang said is really helpless; but at this point, Your Majesty should make peace in the world the top priority, and other matters can be put aside for the time being. Therefore, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty should follow the rules of good deeds."

Many ministers came out one after another: "I'm going to discuss it."

"Your Majesty, I also think that the stability of the army should be the most important thing now."

Yang Zheng looked at the ministers coldly, feeling funny. It seemed that the monarchs and ministers in this palace were already afraid.

Although the matter was exposed and Yang Zheng was now at an extremely dangerous level, he was not afraid at this moment. In his opinion, Chen Kaizhi could certainly get rid of himself in this palace, but he also firmly believed that when the rebels entered the palace, Chen Kaizhi's disaster would come.

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "I know that all the good intentions are good, and what Liu Qing's family said makes perfect sense. But... I have a question."

Chen Kaizhi sighed: "Since I ascended the throne, many things have been too urgent. Who would have thought that it would have expected that such a huge rebound would have given Yang Zheng an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, I have a question: If I issued an edict at this time, would those soldiers and horses who planned to rebel really give up halfway?"

“…”

Suddenly, the whole palace was filled with silence.

No one seems to be able to answer Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi raised his head and said sternly: "Is there anyone who can answer me? Can I tell me that the rebels will be influenced by my edict? Is there anyone who can tell me that if I issue this decree, I can get peace and stability?"

“…”

Still no one dares to answer.

In fact, although everyone believes that the damage can be minimized by repairing the sheep at this time, most of the rebels have already started to take action. Whether the surrender at this time will be effective and how effective it can be achieved is unknown.

Chen Kaizhi burst into laughter.

His smile was shocking, and more people seemed uneasy. Many people looked up at Chen Kaizhi, but saw Chen Kaizhi sternly saying: "Why do I want a new policy, why do I want to abolish these redundant personnel, and why do I need to reorganize new troops? Do you still understand? I did this to avoid the situation today, just to avoid a general who can deduct military pay, unscrupulously report the heads, and kill good people. It is also to avoid that a group of military officers feel dissatisfied, and then they can lead a group of confused soldiers to rebel, and one person rebels, and thousands of people follow him."

"In order to avoid these situations, I have to eliminate the bad guys, so I have to eliminate the redundant staff, lay off the old and weak, and create a new army. I want to make our Dachen army and horses look brand new. If there are no few military officers, I can incite the soldiers to rebel, and no longer be these big and rats, corrupt our Dachen elite soldiers."

"So..." Chen Kai's voice was like a big clock: "What happened today is exactly what I did right, and it is also just a testament that the great Chen has come to a time to change. Otherwise, even if one Yang Zheng is eliminated today, tomorrow there will be Zhu Zheng and Liu Zheng. They can lead their troops into the palace by conspiracy and inciting resentment. They even dare to order their soldiers to kill their emperor by just making a proclamation."

Chen Kaizhi said seriously: "I will never issue an order to appease the rebels, nor will I compromise with them. I have my own way to treat the rebels. This method is very simple, kill!"

Everyone felt a chill. Although they all knew that what Chen Kaizhi said was not unreasonable. Today's compromise was just to encourage the rebels, but most ministers did not have the courage to cut off their arm, but now... they were so angry that they really wanted to fight hard, so what would they do?

"But..." Liu Huang's face suddenly changed and he said with pain: "But Your Majesty... If the rebels enter the palace..."

Chen Kai's hand was holding the desk, and his eyes were lit and dark. After a long time, he smiled: "I relied on the world that I had won immediately, and I could also rely on the world that I could safely rely on the world that I could safely. If the rebels came, since there was no other way out, then... I would attack the person...."

He yelled.

Outside, Xu Jie, who was waiting outside the hall, had already walked into the hall: "I am humble."
