"Your Majesty! Liu Ruyi is arrogant and domineering, has no regard for the king's laws, and has clumsy methods! I sincerely request the emperor to investigate and deal with him strictly to serve as a warning to others!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty! General Liu has made illustrious military exploits for our Ming Dynasty, and this time he is the main force in the expedition to Liaodong! The general is about to go on an expedition, but Wang Shilang is causing trouble behind his back. This, I am afraid, will dampen General Liu's desire to serve the country!
Your Majesty is a sage king, so please give me a clear lesson!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Ruyi forced his way into the east city gate and committed murder and coercion. The evidence is conclusive. If we don't punish him severely, we won't show the anger of the people! Such a person who has no king and no father must not be let go easily!"
"emperor……"
"emperor……"
The Donglin Party was headed by Wang Xinyi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and the Chu Party was led by Zhang Shan, the minister of rites. The two sides were at war with each other. Under the nose of Emperor Chongzhen, a literary drama was staged!
No one is willing to give in!
The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth could not help but curl up slightly!
Only when there is a dispute can there be balance! Since the two groups are willing to fight like this, the initiative has returned to his hands!
"That's enough~~~~!" Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be angry and slapped the dragon throne!
Although his voice was not loud, it shocked Wang Xinyi and Zhang Shan, who were like two fighting cocks in the audience, and froze in place, neither daring to speak!
This is the power of the emperor!
The situation seems extremely complicated, but as long as he can grasp a small balance point, he can control the overall situation! This is the inherent advantage of the emperor!
"What kind of place is this? This is my Jinluan Palace!! You actually dare to be so presumptuous? But you treat this place as a vegetable market? Ah~! Have you ever taken me seriously?" Emperor Chongzhen frowned coldly.
He scolded sternly.
"You deserve to die!" Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was angry, Wang Xinyi and Zhang Shan no longer dared to stand up, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground. The minions on both sides also knelt down one after another, saying "Damn it!"
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the ministers, but his eyebrows relaxed slightly, "Get up first! What you said is not unreasonable! But General Liu is the pillar of the country, and with his status, he will definitely not do anything for no reason.
Something like this happened! There must be some unavoidable reasons for it!"
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Guoguan and said no more!
Xue Guoguan was slightly startled, but he instantly understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant!
After Wang Xinyi's fuss, the emperor was probably dissatisfied with Liu Ruyi! However, due to Liu Ruyi's critical status at this time, it was inconvenient for Emperor Chongzhen to say some things in person, but things turned out to be...
It has to be solved, and he can only be the 'evil one'!
Thinking of this, Xue Guoguan hurriedly cleared his throat, took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now that it is like this, everyone has his own reason, but no one knows what happened last night! According to my advice,
See, as long as we bring General Liu to the court, if you have any questions, you can naturally ask them!"
Although he was a 'villain', the mystery was deeper. He had to satisfy Emperor Chongzhen's needs, but he could not offend Liu Ruyi to death. At the very least, he should be given a chance to argue. Xue Guoguan had been an official for decades.
Zai, this method is naturally easy to capture!
Emperor Chongzhen gave Xue Guoguan a thoughtful look and nodded slightly. At the critical moment, these old ministers are still reliable!
"If that's the case, then let's do what Xue Aiqing said! Do you have any objections?" Emperor Chongzhen said to the ministers.
"Everything depends on the Holy Spirit!" The Emperor and Elder Ge have already set the tone. Who else dares to speak out?
Soon, several young eunuchs hurried out of the palace gate and went straight to Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army station!
"What? Your Majesty wants to see me now?" Liu Ruyi just stood up at the Caishi Army station, but saw several young eunuchs coming in a hurry led by his own soldiers!
"General Liu, now the emperor and all the civil and military officials are waiting for you in the court? Look..." The little eunuch is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is quite slim. He is a little afraid of Liu Ruyi's authority and dare not say anything.
He is dead, but the expression on his face is quite unpredictable!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile and waved her hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. Only she and the little eunuch were left in the big tent. Liu Ruyi casually picked up a few hundred taels of silver notes on the table and handed them to the little eunuch, "Little father-in-law.
, you are a bit unfamiliar! This is the first time we have met, right? However, I, Liu, like to make friends most in my life! Young father-in-law, do you want to be friends with me, Liu? "
The little eunuch looked at the banknote in his hand and swallowed hard. Although he was in the palace, he had long heard that Shandong Liu Ruyi was generous and heroic. When he saw it today, he was indeed extraordinary!
But thinking of the situation in the court just now, the little eunuch's hands began to tremble involuntarily!
Since the 'Nine Thousand Years', the power of the eunuchs in the Daming Palace has shrunk greatly, especially for an emperor like Emperor Chongzhen who knows how to 'live'. Except for top eunuchs like Wang Chengen and Liu Yuanbin, the rest of the eunuchs have very little money.
So pitiful!
This little eunuch is still young and has not yet matured mentally. On the one hand, he is reluctant to part with the banknote in his hand, but on the other hand, he is afraid of the complicated situation in the DPRK. For a moment, he is wavering!
"Haha! Father-in-law! As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths! In the palace, I, Liu, have many good friends!" How could Liu Ruyi not see the entanglement of this little eunuch, she said intentionally or unintentionally!
The little eunuch was stunned and looked at Liu Ruyi's face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart!
~~~~~~~~
After hearing the whole story, Liu Ruyi's face couldn't help but darken!
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, there are still people who dare to jump out and find fault!
Facing the Manchus, those "dressed beasts" wearing human skins were all like shrunken turtles, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and not daring to express their dignity. However, facing their own people, their momentum suddenly surged and they turned into courageous ones.
Ultraman's warrior!
Liu Ruyi couldn't tell in her heart whether she should cry or laugh!
But Emperor Chongzhen's stance on this matter made Liu Ruyi feel deeply chilled!
If you want to do big things, but you can't afford the courage, how can you do this?
However, by this time, Liu Ruyi's mood was already a little numb. What should come will come sooner or later. Since there is no way to escape, we can only face it bravely!
"Little father-in-law, please stay for a while. I'll go get some things and come right away!" Liu Ruyi smiled at the little eunuch, walked out of the big tent, and whispered a few words to Xiao Liu'er who was waiting outside the tent!
Xiao Liuer nodded vigorously, and after a moment, he took out a brocade box the size of a pillow from the side tent, handed it to Liu Ruyi, and whispered: "Young Master, everything is inside!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and winked at Xiao Liuer, "Let's go!"
"General Zhendong, General Liu Ruyi of Shandong, bow to my emperor, long live my emperor!" Half an hour later, Liu Ruyi arrived at the Jinluan Palace and saluted Emperor Chongzhen respectfully!
At this time, calm has been restored in the court, and all parties are recharging their strength and preparing for a fatal blow!
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Liu Ruyi, but he must still be able to live up to his reputation. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Liu Aiqing, come back quickly! Recruiting Liu Aiqing so early may affect Liu Aiqing's rest."
?”
Although Emperor Chongzhen's words were cordial, Liu Ruyi could clearly hear the sense of distance in them!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is worried about you! The expedition is about to begin, and I am preparing to recharge my batteries and fight to the death with the Manchus!" Liu Ruyi bowed slightly, but there was a hint of aloof dissatisfaction in his tone!
Emperor Chongzhen was startled, his face slightly gloomy, but for a moment, he smiled coquettishly, "Liu Aiqing is determined! The power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not happen overnight. Liu Aiqing still has to be patient!"
"Your Majesty, I admire you!" Liu Ruyi cupped her hands in a neither humble nor overbearing manner and said no more!
Emperor Chongzhen’s face became increasingly ugly!
In the past, when Liu Rujian met him, he would either call himself the ‘last general’ or the ‘lower position’, and he was very close to him. But now, he calls himself ‘the minister!’
Although it was just a change in title, it made Emperor Chongzhen feel deeply worried!
He wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, he could not say a single word. He just winked at the eunuch Wang Chengen beside him!
The water was too muddy today, and Wang Chengen was a little confused. Although he was deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, at this moment, he did not dare to rely on him. He cleared his throat quickly, looked at Liu Ruyi and said: "General Liu, the Ministry of War
Mr. Wang Xinyi, Mr. Wang, I am impeaching you to commit an attack on the east city gate last night and forcefully break through the city gate. Regarding this matter, can you describe the whole story to the emperor and all the civil and military officials?"
Hearing that Wang Chengen used 'narration' instead of 'explanation', Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile and gave Wang Chengen a wink!
Wang Chengen nodded slightly, and looked at his ears and nose, and then looked at his heart. Like an old monk sitting still, he slowly fell into deep thought!
Liu Ruyi looked at Emperor Chongzhen again!
Although Emperor Chongzhen had no expression, he nodded slightly subconsciously, which meant that he had no choice but to do this today!
Liu Ruyi bowed slightly to Emperor Chongzhen, then turned around and scanned the officials!
Wang Xinyi was still waiting for Liu Ruyi to explain. He never thought that Liu Ruyi would be so calm and not take it seriously at all. He couldn't help but become a little anxious and said loudly: "General Liu, in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials."
Now, you must explain why you forced your way into the east city gate last night and killed more than fifty of my city guard brothers!"
Liu Ruyi glanced at him, but there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth!
Wang Xinyi is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of War. He is the first person under Chen Xinjia, the Secretary of the Ministry of War. It can be said that he has a high and powerful position!
But Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army has been able to reach this day with little connection with the Ministry of War. It relies entirely on its own hands to conquer the world!
And Wang Xinyi relied most on the wages and supplies as capital, and Liu Ruyi didn't care at all!
Because, with Liu Ruyi's current status, he is only responsible to Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia. As for Wang Xinyi, he can at most do some small tricks on the Caishi Army general promotion report. As for food, wages and materials, that has to be done.
I want Chen Xinjia to make a decision!
"Wang Shilang, last night, I had important military matters and had to leave the city overnight! But the officers and soldiers guarding the city not only refused to allow passage, but also made things difficult in every possible way and demanded money! Liu has behaved upright in his life, stood up straight, and his eyes were naturally graceful.
You can’t tolerate this kind of sand! In addition, Liu just listened to the emperor’s teachings yesterday and strives to revive the Ming Dynasty’s military! I happened to encounter these bastards in Dongcheng in front of me, Liu. You think, how can I not kill them? " Liu
Ruyi looked at Wang Xinyi contemptuously and sneered.
"you you……"
Wang Xinyi originally thought that Liu Ruyi was going to quibble and was about to think of a solid excuse. Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi was so arrogant and did not take him seriously at all. She just tried to shirk him so easily. How could he still do this?
Can you bear it?
"Your Majesty, this, Liu Ruyi has admitted it! Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and for the soldiers who died in the battle in Dongcheng!" Wang Xinyi was speechless for a moment, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously several times!
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown slightly and cursed in his mind: "This Wang Xinyi seems to be quite smart on weekdays, why is he acting like a fool at this time?"
Although Liu Ruyi's words were light and unnatural, he had spared Emperor Chongzhen. What did Emperor Chongzhen say?
Liu Ruyi killed these gatekeepers in order to revive the Ming Dynasty's military!
If Emperor Chongzhen wants to punish Liu Ruyi now, doesn't it mean that he doesn't want to revive the Ming Dynasty's military?
The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen just talked with Liu Ruyi yesterday, and he knew that Liu Ruyi was eager to leave the city in order to dispatch troops and generals to Beijing!
Everything is for the overall situation of Liaodong!
This? This Wang Xinyi is so stupid that he insists on confronting Liu Ruyi in person!
"Cough~!" Emperor Chongzhen coughed unnaturally, "Liu Aiqing, how are the preparations for the military preparations in Liaodong? How is the morale of the soldiers? When can we arrive at the capital?"
Emperor Chongzhen ignored Wang Xinyi and instead asked about the military readiness of Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, Emperor Chongzhen wasn't that unbearable!
"Thanks to the Emperor, everything has been arranged! If nothing else happens, our Colored Stone Army will definitely not delay the army's expedition!"
Liu Ruyi bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, after returning from humble duty yesterday, I was also thinking hard! The Manchu Qing's military power is at its peak now. With the idea of humble duty, if the emperor can transfer a man from the Beijing camp,
With only an elite firearms battalion, perhaps our chances of winning will be greater!"
"Oh~~!" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, and then he couldn't help but fall into deep thought!
He had always thought that the situation in Liaodong would mainly rely on the Guan Ning Army, Xuan Da Army, Shanxi Army and other nine powerful armies to deal with it, but he never thought about bringing the well-equipped Beijing Camp to the Liaodong defense line!
After all, the Jingying camp was rotten to the core, and Emperor Chongzhen knew it very well. By sending these people to the battlefield, they were undoubtedly going to die!
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to deal with the accusations from the nobles in the court!
But on the contrary, if this Beijing camp can survive with the sharp weapons in their hands, then they will soon become a powerful army!
After all, the equipment of the Jingying Camp is sharp, the best in China! Even Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army cannot compare with the Jingying Camp in terms of the types of firearms equipped!
Wang Xinyi didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Ruyi would treat him like nothing and start talking about the situation in Liaodong?
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to investigate Liu Ruyi's intrusion into the East Gate last night and provide an explanation to the defenders of the East City!" Wang Xin hurriedly kowtowed hard and told Emperor Chongzhen unwillingly!
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown slightly. He was thinking about important matters, but this guy actually dared to insist on it?
Co-author, in the eyes of Wang Xinyi, is the death of a few stupid soldiers at the East City Gate more important than the situation in Liaodong?
Is it more important than suppressing Huang Taiji's momentum?
"Wang Aiqing, please step aside first! We will discuss this matter later!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently!
"But, Your Majesty, Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi, he, he..." Wang Xinyi wanted to explain something, but two tall and strong imperial guards walked by and dragged Wang Xinyi out of the main hall.
outside!
The ministers were all in awe. They really didn't expect that the dragnet Wang Xinyi had prepared would be torn apart by Liu Ruyi in just a moment, and they were even afraid that they would be caught in it!
At this time, Liu Ruyi didn't care at all about the attitude of the officials around him. He smiled slightly, took out the brocade box hanging on his waist, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what I promised you last time has been completed for you!"
