The ministers knelt down outside the Meridian Gate to beg for a meeting. This was a rare scene in the Chongzhen Dynasty. The civil and military officials in the court were not interested in working, and they came nearby to watch or join them.

After more than 200 years of development in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, emphasizing culture over military affairs has become an inherent national policy. Everyone believes that military officers are rude martial artists and their lackeys. Just follow their arrangements.

The emperor's struggle today made many people worried that the emperor was looking for excuses to improve the status of military officers and let them suppress civil servants.

That's all. The power of personnel appointments and money and food in the court is still in the hands of civil officials. If the emperor wants to do this, it is impossible for everyone to agree or cooperate. Moreover, the emperor's actions are a very wrong behavior in itself. How can he have a good ending with emphasis on martial arts and over literature?

Let’s look at the Tang Empire back then. They valued literature and martial arts over literature, which led to the country and family destruction, and the world was in chaos. The descendants of the Li family were killed and killed. However, the people in the world did not have a good life.

This was for both themselves and the people of the world, so Zhou Yanru and others resolutely knelt down and begged the emperor to change his fate. However, after kneeling for a long time, they found that the emperor had no intention of concession or summoning them, which made them both disappointed and angry.

This face is so embarrassing, and these legs are sore...

However, Zhou Yanru could not have been the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and the head of all officials. Since he knelt in public here, it would be a good idea to kneel down to the emperor for a long time. Because he was very tired and embarrassed, Zhou Yanru advised others: "You guys will return to the ministries for the time being, and we will sit down and make plans for the long term."

Originally, the officials were full of anger and passionate blood, and wanted to persuade the emperor to take back his life, but they struggled for a long time, but the emperor ignored them, and they didn't care about them, which made them realize that there might be a knot in front of them, which was not easy to resolve.

If the emperor insisted on regressing, they would not kneel down like this for a long time, which would only embarrass them, because the ministers also knew that Emperor Chongzhen seemed gentle and elegant. In fact, he was a very stubborn person. Once he decided to cut Yuan Chonghuan alive and chop Xiong Tingbi. Once he made a decision, it would be useless for other people to object.

Zhou Tingru said to everyone: "We will give in temporarily today, which does not mean that this matter is a foregone conclusion. We will go back to the cabinet to discuss the major plan."

Since even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet said this, everyone felt that kneeling like this is very shameless, traitorless, and shameless, so they had to get off the sidelines and go back first.

It’s not because I’m unfaithful and not passionate, but because I don’t fight for my knees, it’s so sore and tired.

However, the ministers would definitely not agree to this matter. The emperor of the Ming Empire had an inappropriate emperor and actually went to train troops. What does this mean?

Emperor Chongzhen was performing martial arts during the forbidden period. He was not thinking about it or playing with it for a while, but after careful consideration, he knew that the Ming Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis. If he could not successfully resolve the Liu family, it would mean that he was annihilated by the Liu family, and he, Zhu Youjian, would become the king of the country.

The only way to deal with Liu Jia now is to use powerful military force to ruthlessly wipe them out, kill them cleanly, and destroy their nine clans. All those who follow them must be eliminated one by one. Even if they are killed in countless ways, they must be demoted to untouchables, so that they will never be able to turn over forever.

Only in this way can we intimidate those who have strange ambitions and ulterior motives.

However, to achieve this, a strong and combat-capable army is needed. At present, the Ming Dynasty does not have such an army. The outstanding generals he had high hopes for did not meet the emperor's wishes and did these things for the emperor. Since these people could not do it, they had to take action himself. This is also the last wave of Emperor Chongzhen's dangerous moves. If this move is not possible, it means that his Ming Dynasty is going to be over.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not have any civil and military officials kneeling at the palace gate, but he was also worried about this because he knew that if the officials could not kneel down here for a long time and no one went to work, the court would not be able to maintain it, and it would become a joke in the world.

Fortunately, Zhou Yanru was the chief minister of the cabinet after all, and was a person who knew the general and put the overall situation first. He persuaded the officials to go back. Although they claimed that this matter would not be good and would definitely be endless with the emperor, the emperor finally survived the level in front of him.

So many officials kneel in front of the palace gate. If the emperor ignores it completely, it is not a matter of not listening or asking.

The emperor performed martial arts in the forbidden area, which was his idea, and he was also ready to make it happen. Moreover, he did not want to play around. He had issued an order to Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang to send a group of outstanding officers to come here to report and train the army for him.

Although Emperor Chongzhen personally trained soldiers in the palace, he also knew that he was not a military officer after all, and had never been an officer or had led soldiers. He might not have done anything better than an ordinary officer. All he had to do was to reverse the Ming Dynasty. The current trend of improving the treatment of military personnel and soldiers, and then let them work hard to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Why are Liu Thief of the Chinese Empire so powerful and powerful? This is because they attach great importance to warriors and these soldiers very much.

Since ancient times, all powerful emperors have had an invincible army. Now the Chongzhen Empire is hard to think of good generals. He is also considering this issue and looking forward to his own Xuan armored heavenly soldier.

Such a thing happened to the Ming Dynasty court, and it was also detected by the people from the National Security Bureau and quickly sent the information back to the south.

Since Xu Jianqiang bribed Nie Chengyu and his son, the strength of the Dongchang has been greatly enhanced, and the National Security Bureau's personnel in the capital have been hit hard.

In the past, they basically acted here unscrupulously, with their spies at various departments of the court and all the city gates, but these people were all pulled out one by one by Nie Chengyu and his son and executed them publicly.

The National Security Bureau suffered a great blow, but it did not mean that they had just pulled their strength up, but they just transferred their strength to the ground, not as blatant as before.

The Nie family father and son are local snakes in the capital, but this place is Beijing after all, with a population of millions and hundreds of thousands of people coming in and out every day. Such a huge city is not completely controlled by a small gangster.

After the National Security Bureau failed in a series of battles with the other party, they learned from their mistakes. They learned from their failures and quickly changed their ways of doing things and acting. They kept it hidden and were not as ostentatious as before. It was not so easy for the Nie family father and son to hold them.

Moreover, the Intelligence Bureau is not easy to mess with. They have attracted a large number of masters and assassins from other places. They have suffered heavy casualties and injuries to the Nie family father and son, and both sides are covered with scars.

Xu Jianqiang knew these things well. He knew the power of the Liu family and his son, and the National Security Bureau. It was difficult to completely eradicate them. It was already very rare to be able to achieve this step. Of course, he never gave up on the way to uproot the Chinese Military Security Bureau. However, he used all his methods and could not do it. He could only sigh, but do his best to do his best and make everyone do their destiny.

The Security Bureau quickly transmitted this information to Nanjing and Liu Yuanqiao, which surprised Liu Yuanqiao.

The Liu family was able to rise because of the corruption and incompetence of the Ming Dynasty. The first is reflected in the lack of combat capabilities in the army, and the second is the corruption in the officialdom.

So although the Ming Dynasty looked like a giant and a giant, it was just a slight push by them, and the giant was pushed down by them and defeated by them.

Liu Yuanqiao deeply understood that all the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty were so able to achieve today's achievements. And he was very grateful that Emperor Chongzhen and the officials in the court continued to implement the same trick, continued to emphasize culture over military affairs, suppress military officers, and further reduced the welfare benefits of joining the army, making their army's combat effectiveness worse and unable to fight against the Chinese army at all.

Combining these situations, Liu Yuanqiao was very optimistic that it only takes three years at most to defeat the main army of the Ming Dynasty and occupy his main cities, which means that the Ming Dynasty can be destroyed.

The Liu family started the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, which means that they and the Ming Dynasty cannot coexist, and both sides will be the result of life and death. If they cannot destroy the Ming Dynasty, they will destroy them. The current situation is that the Chinese Empire is in great shape, while the Ming Dynasty will be in a state of great success.

But Liu Yuanqiao did not relax himself because Liu Yuanqiao understood that the Ming Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty, and it had a very strong foundation for more than two hundred years. He could survive countless fatal blows, but the Liu family did not have such background. They were afraid that a fatal blow would make them doomed.

This measure taken by Emperor Chongzhen made Liu Yuanqiao deeply think that Liu Yuanqiao understood that this approach was right. He asked the emperor to perform martial arts in the forbidden area and successfully trained a team of elite soldiers, thereby reversing the trend of emphasizing culture and over military forces in the court and improving the treatment of military generals and soldiers. Perhaps it would greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and cause them a headache.
