Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventy The Emperor's Lunch

Six hundred seats have been set up in the spacious square in front of the hall. This matter was completely decided by Chongzhen and did not agree with the cabinet in advance. You must know that this is a very dangerous decision. If Chongzhen was not relieved by Liu Yi, then letting Liu Yi and his army enter the royal family and enter the Forbidden City together is already a problem that violates the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty's civil servant system, he has a natural contempt for military generals. It is already a matter of breaking the sky to get the honor of having lunch with the emperor, but why can his soldiers also receive such honors?

It was just the most vulgar military man. How could he climb to the Grand Palace of the Ming Dynasty, which was a shameful person. Six thousand people ate and drank in the square in front of the hall. What would these rude and vulgar husbands look like? Chongzhen knew that if the censors learned this information, they might fly up like snowflakes, which would have been suppressed by Chongzhen. So, simply, Chongzhen took action first and then reported. Only Wang Chengen's literati ban on all the eunuchs. Whoever leaked the news in advance would be killed without mercy.

This was not Chongzhen's impulsive decision, but the emperor's balance technique. Although there was no agreement on the reward for Liu Yi in the court meeting and subsequent cabinet meetings that day, Chongzhen had made up his mind that the position of the general of Southern Zhili could not be given to him. Even if he was given a title, he could not be given the position of the general of real power. However, if he did not give him the position of the general, he would have to be compensated from other places. After thinking about it, it would be impossible to borrow the power of the court. Liu Yi and the Ming court have always seemed a little out of place. Moreover, if it was not handled well, the censor's mouth might force a general to the opposite side. Simply use his own private warehouse to give Liu Yi enough face. As the emperor, he personally came forward to treat him to dinner, hoping that he could understand his painstaking efforts.

"Grand, sir, sir, it's not good, it's not good!" A servant leader ran to Wen Tiren's carriage panting. Wen Tiren was resting in the carriage. After saying goodbye to Liu Yi, he led all officials into the capital from other city gates and left Zhengyang Gate to Liu Yi. Of course, the cheering voices of hundreds of thousands of people were naturally heard by Wen Tiren. His thoughts were twisted and turned. Although Liu Yi was arrogant and domineering, his army had already formed a power. If it were strictly divided, Liu Yi was already a prince in Southern Zhili. Perhaps his soldiers were not as many as other princes, but the quality of his soldiers was far beyond others. If so, Liu Yi could be regarded as An Lushan of the Ming Dynasty.

While thinking, Wen Tiren hated being interrupted by others. When he heard the voice of the servant leader, Wen Tiren couldn't help but frown. The sound of Wen Huai was clearly Wen Huai's voice. Wen Huai was adopted by him in his early years. Because of his superb martial arts, he gradually emerged among the servants. Seeing that he was extraordinary, Wen Tiren directly gave him the word Wen, and asked him to change his surname and enter his core servant team, and achieved the team's integrity. Hearing that it was his voice, Wen Tiren opened his eyes and sat upright, because Wen Huai was not stupid and had followed him for so many years. Basically, if there were no major situations, he would not have lost his composure. Wen Tiren lifted the curtains of the carriage and said to Wen Huai: "Is there anything that can't be said slowly? Is it necessary to be so panicked?" Wen Huai was severely criticized by the Chief Auxiliary and suddenly turned red

He said face, and said neither, nor did he say it. Seeing this, Wen Tiren didn't want to make Wen Huai too embarrassed in front of everyone. He said lightly: "Tell me, what happened? It caused such a big disturbance." In fact, we can't blame Wen Huai, because the news was too shocked, and Wen Huai was also a little confused. He stabilized his emotions and said to Wen Tiren: "Sir, I just received the tip. Your Majesty was in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. " "Is it a banquet for Liu Yi?" Wen Tiren asked back. This is not surprising. It is reasonable for the emperor to invite Liu Yi to a meal, but why in the square in front of the hall, Wen Tiren is a little strange. Could it be that Your Majesty likes to treat guests in an empty place? Wen Huai said: "Yes, yes, no, no." Wen Tiren is really angry now, "Is it true!"

"Sir, that's right. Your Majesty not only celebrates General Liu, but also sets up six hundred tables in the square in front of the hall to entertain all the soldiers of the new army!" Wen Huai said in one breath. "What did you say!" Wen Tiren's eyes widened. He couldn't believe his ears. What did Wen Huai say just now? His Majesty was in the square in front of the hall to invite the entire Qingyi army? Was His Majesty crazy or Wen Huai crazy talking nonsense? Wen Tiren hurriedly asked, "The news is true?" Wen Huai nodded and said, "Sir, it's true, I'll do it.

The breath has already come from the palace. Even if the villain doesn't come to report, the adults will know in a while." Wen Tiren put down the curtain and leaned on the back of the carriage. What is Your Majesty going to do? Suddenly, Wen Tiren narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but raise his thumbs up. His Majesty's trick was so gentle that it seemed that Liu Yi, the general of the Southern Zhili, could not get it. He took action first and then reported. Not only could he not shout loudly, but he also had to cooperate with His Majesty to suppress the voice of the Censorate.

"Wen Huai, come here, go and tell Tang Shiji, Li Kangxian, Hou Xun and others that they should keep quiet even when they hear such news. At the same time, they ask Tang Shiji to quote the scriptures. If anyone dares to criticize the emperor for not following the etiquette system, they will suppress him. Do you understand?" Wen Tiren said a little coldly. Wen Huai couldn't help but chill. As Wen Tiren's personal army, of course he knew that whenever Wen Tiren showed such an expression, he was planning something big. Who dared not do what he wanted, I'm afraid that his life would be better in the future. Wen Huai said without hesitation, "Abide by the order!"

"Your Majesty, Mo General still thinks that doing this may be a violation of etiquette. In the future, not only Mo General will be drowned by the censor's saliva, but also may be implicated. How can Mo General be at ease?" Liu Yi was still refusing. Chongzhen waved his hand firmly and said, "General Liu has always been known for his boldness. Are you still afraid of the verbal verbal of those censors? A real man should be willing to avenge him, and I just did this. If there is no tough method, then wouldn't I, the emperor, become a puppet of those people?" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment. Although Chongzhen was righteous, it seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with the censor's noise. In fact, there was something in his words. How could Liu Yi not hear another meaning in Chongzhen's words? He said that he was known for his boldness. He was not emphasizing that he was a little bold and arbitrary? The following words were reminded even more.

Don't do the thing that wields the emperor to command the princes. Liu Yi did not show any expression on his face, nor did he accept Chongzhen's words. It was difficult for him to answer this. Chongzhen had already fallen into a misunderstanding, or he could not blame Chongzhen. After all, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was a person who had a consciousness four hundred years ahead of him. The two of them did not stand on the same dimension at all. So when the conflict broke out, the two would not find common ground, nor would there be an opportunity to resolve the conflict. Seeing that Liu Yi did not speak, Chongzhen immediately changed the topic, "General Liu, don't dislike the dishes at noon today. You also know that I have the habit of being frugal. Not only did I set an example, but my queen, children, and people in the Forbidden City were all restrained by me. If the wine and food were not to your taste, please take care of it."

Liu Yi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty's words, I really am flattered by General Mo. If you are not talented, you will be lucky to have such a high honor today. You will be lucky with your soldiers." Chongzhen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say much, so let the soldiers take the seat quickly." Originally, the meal of 6,000 people was a great thing, but in the Forbidden City, under the control of the Silijian, this matter became much simpler. First of all, the weapons of these soldiers must be confiscated. Generals and soldiers cannot bring weapons to face the holy place.

Liu Yi was not worried. In front of the millions of people in the capital, if the emperor dared to do the Ganlu Temple, he would probably lose the people's hearts in an instant and the empire would collapse in an instant. Moreover, this is a six thousand tiger and wolf army, not six thousand lambs to be slaughtered. Even when they are unarmed, they have huge lethal power. This is not comparable to those of the great Han generals around the emperor who can only fill their facades. Even the Jinyiwei could not get benefits under their hands. Chongzhen would not be able to gamble, nor dare to gamble, so Liu Yi was open and honest.

This kind of big thing cannot be hidden after all. As Wen Huai said, the news had reached the ears of all officials almost in a very short time. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually made such a big move without hiding it. Just as everyone was ready to form a group to persuade the emperor and attack Liu Yi, they suddenly received an order from the cabinet. Wen Tiren's order suddenly extinguished the fighting spirit of these people. The censor who claimed to be capable ministers and straight ministers had to take action. Tang Shiji said directly
