Chapter five hundred and twenty.

Not to mention the king of a different surname, just a minister dares to speak to the king and say what I want, there is nothing more deviant than this.

He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment, and his mouth was trembling. Emperor Chongzhen pointed forward with his fingers. Wang Chengen, who was next to him, quickly shouted suddenly.

"Where is the general of the Han Dynasty?"

"I am a censor, and the censor is not guilty! Besides, I really think about Your Majesty, please give it a clear lesson!"

As the court's civil and military officials were gaze, Ma Shaoyu knocked his head to the ground fiercely.

Zhou Yanru's role is revealed here. His gangsters, also one of the initiators of Fushe, was a doctor of the selected literature, and Wu Changshi, jumped out with a hypocritical look.

"Your Majesty, this thief is full of nonsense and is confused by evil words. If he does not kill, he will not be able to calm the anger of the public. I believe that the three ministries of the Ministry of Justice are all here. Your Majesty can try this thief in court and refute his crimes, leaving him speechless!"

"I think this move..."

The lobbyist is so powerful that he opens his mouth. Ma Shaoyu was obviously bribed by Dongjiang. He came to be the lobbyist. The censor was innocent but did not say that he was rebellious and was just killed. But if he was asked to speak in court, the court has always been a place of right and wrong, and he might cause some storm. Even if he was killed, it would be too late.

Thinking that it was considered the most unlucky position in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhang Guowei, the 13th Minister of War of Chongzhen, wanted to refute it. Who knew that before he finished speaking, he interrupted him with a light cough.

"Mr. War, how much do you know about Dongjiang?"

Zhang Guowei was speechless after asking a sentence, but it was no wonder that Chen Xinjia had just presided over the peace bureau last June and resigned from his post in July. The Minister of War was a fire pit position, and no one wanted to sit there. The party struggle was ruling until September that he, the civil servant who served as the governor of Southern Zhili, returned to Beijing to report his duties, was promoted to the position of Minister of War. It had only been half a year since he took office.

His main talent is to govern the river and govern the government. He only knows a little bit about military affairs. Since the previous generations of the Minister of War Wang Cha, the court's food and salary support for Dongjiang has been cut off. Correspondingly, the court has no control over Dongjiang. It would be strange if he knows it!

Zhang Guowei was already disgusted with the Minister of War, and Zhang Guowei was stunned and undoubtedly made Chongzhen even more angry, so he naturally couldn't continue to say anything. With one sentence, Li Jiantai, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen with a blank expression.

"The thieves in Dongjiang dare to roar in court, but they are really a mantis arm and chariot, and they will perish themselves! However, Sun Tzu's Art of War says: There are many people who have won the battle before the war! Even if they want to fight against Dongjiang, they must first understand. Lord Ma returned from the Liaodong military supervisor. He should have paid attention to the situation in Dongjiang!"

"The old minister believes that if you ask Lord Ma to say that if you really feel guilty, it will not be too late to kill him if you say anything!

The chief assistant Chen Yan and the second assistant Wei Zaode are all incompetent people. They just follow the emperor's destiny. After all, those who do practical things are killed by Chongzhen, otherwise it would not be their turn. Li Jiantai is willing to speak, and he bears the responsibility. Chen Yan Wei Zaode is also happy and keeps silent. As for the six ministers of the Ministry, Hou Xun dares to speak and proposes to give up the Central Plains. He is imprisoned. Another Zhang Guowei who dares to speak is suppressed. The rest are naturally silent. Emperor Chongzhen looked around and the ministers seemed to have all agreed. He had to nod in his anger.

"Let this criminal say, I want to see how he can tell a flower!"

My forehead was already wet with sweat beads. Whether I could save my life or not, I would also charge the rewards from Dongjiang. It depends on what I said next. Ma Shaoyu kept knocking his head to the ground again.

"I have died! I am defeated by Zhang Ruolin and Lord Zhang. Songshan City was defeated. He was entrusted by Hong Ni, the former Ji Liao commander, to go to Dongjiang to continue the battle. However, when I arrived in Tieshan, I was taken down by Mao Ni and became a front pawn in front of the army."

"The soldiers in Dongjiang are generals, and the thieves are powerful and blessed. The Liao people are afraid of it. They are bribed by their money. The people are greedy for profit. The thieves even surrender and rebel. They have Japanese pirates under their command, and there are many desperate people in Goryeo. Some Mongolians even set up minions. The Dongjiang army already only knows Mao Dongjiang, but they don't know the emperor of the court. I have repeatedly promoted the righteousness of the court to his command, but no one is willing to listen to it!"

Last time, Mao Jue threatened the rebellion nakedly. Chongzhen was actually very clear in his heart, but he was told by Ma Shaoyu in court, revealing his pain again, making the emperor's face look much darker again.

"Your Majesty, although Mao's thief is ruthless, he is indeed a good general. His command is also fierce and cruel, warlike and bloodthirsty. Since the army was raised last November, no grass has grown up wherever Dongjiang passed. When he came to the city, he slaughtered the city and the village, the thief also liked to be killed. In the former Liaodong area, there were corpses hanging on the trees. The Eight Banners of Jiannu were so fierce that they repeatedly destroyed the official army. Hong Chengchou's 130,000 troops could not resist, and the entire army was wiped out. However, when he fought in Jilin City, he was massacred by Mao's 100,000. He was completely destroyed. Guangning was coming every night. Liaoshen was also in danger. The eastern abduct was about to be destroyed!"

"In front of the army, I witnessed the murder of corpses and blood. Tens of thousands of cannons were fired together. The bones of the east captive were frustrated. After defeating for several miles, the blood flowed and the pestle was drifted! As I expected, this year, the winter of this year, Shengjing Liaoyang will be in the hands of the thief again!"

"Is the Eastern Capitol going to destroy the country?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but stand up suddenly. Not only him, but even the ministers all turned green, they have indeed heard a lot of news of the victory of the Dongjiang River these days, but are there still few good news over the years? If we follow the military achievements reported by the General General Office below, the Ming Dynasty's population will be killed for two or three times, which will be a few discounts.

But this kind of reward is also skilled. If you behead 300,000 yuan, the bandit army will have at least 900,000 yuan. Then you will have reason to continue fighting or defeating the war. Like Ma Shaoyu, who insisted that he would destroy the Eastern Capitol this autumn, most of the tenth is true, because if you are not absolutely sure, no general dares to boast like this.

"Ministry of War?"

I don't know about such a big thing! Emperor Chongzhen's eyes once again fell on Zhang Guowei's face. The murderous intent made the thirteenth Minister of War of the Chongzhen Dynasty kneel on the ground with trembling, kowtowing and apologizing.

"Your Majesty, I have heard of it at this time, but I have not verified it and dare not report it!"

Although he was aware of it later, Zhang Guowei heard the meaning of this word, and how could he not understand the old man in the political arena. He was the Ministry of War and could not report the news, but the censors in the court had this right. More than a month has passed since the war, but no one has come to tell him the emperor!

Do they still treat themselves as emperors?

Once again, Chongzhen's heart was filled with anger.

Beside him, Wang Chengen could no longer suppress his trembling.

"Continue!"

"I obey the order!"

"After the Battle of Jilin, there were already people who were inclined to attract favors. They even said they would recommend the thief to imitate the Dongjiao and become emperor! The thief Yelang was arrogant and arrogant. He was also preparing to conquer Shengjing and become emperor in Shengjing. There were even shameless people like Zhou Yanru, the former Grand Secretary, who volunteered to draft an edict for the emperor to seek an official. In addition, Zhang Ruolin, a colleague of his ministers, sold himself to the lord and surrendered to the thief, and became the commander of the orc army. He risked his life and kowtowed to rob Mao before he rebelled, and scolded him in tears and blood. He said that the great Ming Dynasty and the power of Your Majesty made him shrink! He ordered me to come to the capital to seek the position of King Liao from Your Majesty."

If you want to talk about how petty the civil servants are, Zhou Yanru had messed up and asked Ma Shaoyu to sell him here. Zhang Ruolin might become his opponent, and he also sold him here to eliminate future troubles and portray himself as a strong and loyal minister like Su Wu. This Ma Shaoyu is shameless.

But his half-true words did cause storm in the Ming Dynasty. It was already a rebellious enough to ask for the throne just now, but it turned out that they were second-best. Compared to becoming emperor, asking for a king of Liao is indeed not a big deal.

This is also a bit like the marketing method in later generations. The merchant takes out something first. You think it is quite expensive, but after comparing other ones that are even more expensive, you think it is OK again, and your psychological defense line can't help but relax.

This news once again made Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turn black, and there is no sky or two kings in the country! Huang Taiji was a little better before, but he was the king of the barbarians after all! But Mao Jue was actually from the Ming Dynasty. No emperor could tolerate others standing side by side with him and sitting on the dragon throne. He kept sucking air conditioners there: "This traitor, this traitor dared to be the emperor!"

If we follow the TV series, at this time, countless loyal ministers and generals should have jumped out, roaring indignation to many soldiers and horses to the ministers. I brought Mao Jue's head back! However, at this dynasty meeting, there were hundreds of ministers and nobles attending the court, but at this moment, they were silent.

Even the invincible Jiannu was massacred like this, and the country was about to be destroyed. Who dared to call this number to attack Dongjiang? Besides, when fighting, what about the army? What about the food and salary? The last elite troops of the border army were wasted by Emperor Chongzhen on the Songjin battlefield. With the tens of thousands of new recruits in Jizhen, I still don’t know how much water there is to fight with Dongjiang? Isn’t it okay to have a head!

If you take a step back, you are really passionate, but see what Lu Xiangsheng will end up with whom you dare to fight! He still has no pensions for his sins, and the Lu family has broken the door. The passion has become cold again. Chongzhen is so mean that even the most loyal ministers and righteous men cannot show their allegiance.

In Chongzhen's own words, I am not a king who destroyed the country, but everything is a condemnation of the country! He did not say the first half of the sentence, but the second half was vividly displayed in this court.

There is another saying: "Dogs rely on their power!" I was brave before, but seeing that I was so brave that I was so arrogant that I was so brave that all the civil and military officials in the court were suppressed. Ma Shaoyu's courage suddenly became fatter and he kowtowed heavily there again.

"Your Majesty, if you do not agree to Mao Jue's request, next spring, you will collect all the Dongjiang Army generals who have captured the Eight Banners in the East and brought 500,000 troops south! If there are loyal and good generals, you can defend the enemy outside the country! Protect the country and the country, please behead me! If not, please think twice!"

Five hundred thousand army!

This number made the civil and military officials in the court unable to help but take a breath. The Ming Dynasty can now gather 800,000 troops, and it will still be scattered across the country. The entire northern Zhili, the one who has real combat effectiveness is Wu Sangui and tens of thousands of Guanning troops. Even Chongzhen himself turned pale and was stunned for a few seconds before he asked gloomyly.

"Who can fight against the thief for me!"

The sound echoed in the empty court, and for a few minutes, no one answered!

Today's dynasty meeting ended at the beginning. I don't know how long it took for the stalemate, but Wang Chengen's weak voice rang out.

"Retreat the court!!!"

…………

It was really the end of the world that any strange thing could happen. Ma Shaoyu was clearly a military officer, but the Ming Dynasty's minister was arranged to go to the Honglu Temple to enjoy the treatment of foreign guests. The court also sent a hundred Jinyiwei to monitor it.

However, Ma Shaoyu's use was also used. He was a personal tape. On June 10th, the court's words had already shown a powerful, aggressive and ambitious Dongjiang in front of the Ming Dynasty officials. Especially Zhou Yanru was shaken off by him, just like Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing army and set an example for the Ming Dynasty ministers. He was like a big banner, making excuses for countless fence-bearing men.

Even a great scholar like Zhou Yanru who is embezzled with the emperor's grace has defected to Dongjiang, so what can we not seek refuge?

For several consecutive days, the most lively place in the capital was the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. Groups of officials and gentry carrying things and gifts were even turned out to be clear, and a long queue was lined up at the gate of the Marquis Mansion. What's more, they were already shouting out the old prince!

However, the Dingbei Hou Mansion still closed the door as always. The old Marquis Mao Wenlong cursed Mao Jue and fucked him while stuffing two cotton balls into his ears and then watched the Kunqu Opera troupe perform. I don’t know if he could see the reason.

In the side courtyard of the Hou Mansion, a ladder climbed to the courtyard wall. Then, half a tiger-headed velvet hat was exposed. A pair of black big eyes looked down curiously, but before I could take a look, someone suddenly shouted excitedly below. Then, a few heavy things were smashed overwhelmed.

Flip ~

On the wall about two meters high, the tiger-headed boy was smashed and sat back heavily. There was a big bag on his forehead. He opened his mouth and cried loudly when he sat on the ground.

"Young Master! Youth Master!"

Amid the horrified shouts, several maids hurriedly gathered around them, and in the pile of silver and prayer books that scattered all over the floor, they hurriedly helped the eldest son of the Mao family's treasure. Then, another graceful and beautiful woman rushed over.

"Why are you so disobedient? You are asked to study in the study, but who made you run out!"

In a small hand, he was always holding a dagger. No one knew how the situation would change. Listening to the screams, the dagger was already wet with sweat. Chen Jiao, who was hurriedly following him, looked at this scene and immediately slapped the little baby's butt several times. The pain made him even more red in his eyes and cried loudly.

"These people are so noisy that I can't even read! Who are they!"

"Take it out!"

Pointing to the posts on the ground, full of the majesty of the mistress, Chen Jiao shouted angrily, but when she turned around and looked at her son crying there, the gentle and loving motherly heart of the daughter of Jiangnan could not help but rise up. She was in her arms and hugged Mao Xingjian in her arms. While walking back, she also sighed and shook her head.

"Those people all want to curry favor with your father!"

"Why do you want to flatter my dad? It hurts so much!"

"You don't understand!"

"What a bad daddy!"

"Kayer, don't talk nonsense, your father is a very great person!"

While patting Mao Xingjian's back, Chen Jiao hummed gently while coaxing her, but she raised a big bag of small heads and looked at the packages thrown in like snowflakes outside, and the maids who threw back with a lot of things. The eldest son of the Mao family's great plague still had an angry expression on his face.

In the street restaurant not far from the Hou Mansion, a telescope was put down, and he was relieved even if he didn't do business well.

On this side, Mao Jue's eldest son was just beaten to tears. On the other side, in the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace, a group of old men in their fifties and sixties really wanted to cry, but they were still the cursed platform. Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, Li Jiantai, and the Minister of War Zhang Guowei and other important officials knelt on the ground side, with their butts sticking out, but they wanted to bury them in the ground.

It was exactly the same as the scene recorded in history, Emperor Chongzhen was roaring like thunder.

"Sir, as long as you speak and get a countermeasure, I will immediately issue an order to do it!"

Unfortunately, the answer to him was still taciturn. This scene was indeed sad, but what was revealed was Chongzhen's complete irresponsibility. The threat of war in Dongjiang was approaching. However, he still did not want to bear the reputation of cede land and be the king, nor did he want to start a war at the risk of destruction of his country. He refused to make up his head and had to make a decision! He would still push anything to his subordinates in the future.

Maybe he was regarded as an official until the 17th year of Chongzhen. Which of these important officials were not talented? Look at the fate of the former Minister of War Chen Xinjia! He was given the emperor's fault, but he was rude to the responsibility and was almost nodded. If the Qing Dynasty had not suddenly proposed peace, his grave would have been half a meter high. Now it seems that the Qing army was beaten by Dongjiang! They dare not guarantee that they are so lucky, and Mao Jue could suddenly have a thrust into his forehead and take the initiative to surrender.

Even Zhang Guowei, who was a little more loyal, was so scared that Chongzhen was so scared that he didn't dare to speak out.

This deadly silence and embarrassment surrounded the heads of a group of the highest powers in the Ming Empire. They were furious and roared like thunder. However, Chongzhen had no choice but to use these hob meats. But at this moment, Guo Jin, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, suddenly appeared outside the platform warm pavilion, and Chongzhen roared unhappily.

"Come in!"

"What's the matter?"

The Grand Secretary was unreliable, and the eunuchs acted much better than them at this time. They rushed in and knelt on the ground, and Guo Jin kowtowed heavily.

"Report to Your Majesty, the General of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui, urgently reported that in the Jinzhou area, the Eight Banners of the East gathered tens of thousands of people to go south and headed straight to Shanhaiguan in Ningyuan. It seemed that there was a tendency to go south and enter the Passerby!"
