Harmony was restored in the court, as if the scene where the monarch and his ministers were confronting each other had never happened.
"The businessman's cooperation needs to wait until May to start. Let's put it aside for now. Chen Aiqing, is there any new situation in Jinzhou's border affairs?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Governor Hong has been training at Shanhaiguan and can leave the customs at any time. However, Jiannu has recently bypassed Jinzhou and pushed outside the customs, so the army is still tentatively moving forward."
In fact, Hong Chengchou used the radio to send military information to Chongzhen every day, but Chongzhen still needed someone to explain it to the people in the court, lest these people jump up and down every day and pay no attention to the border situation.
"The frontline operations are left to Hong Qing who is on the scene. We are sitting far away from the capital, so we should not give random orders. How long can the Ministry of Revenue and food and salary support it?"
"Going back to your majesty, the food and grass from various military posts have been transported to Shanhaiguan one after another. However, due to the loss of the road, the food and grass that was originally enough to feed a hundred thousand troops and eighty thousand civilians for half a year has only four months' share left. Now the spring plowing has ended.
, the fields are left unattended, and production may be reduced by the end of this year.”
Li Daiwen's words caused a small discussion in the court. The generals and generals brought out of the customs were not just soldiers, but also accompanying civilians, horsemen transporting grain, etc.
The soldiers and civilians were also responsible for the farming of the garrison. The garrison had to provide taxes and grain to the court every year. At the same time, they would keep the grain for themselves as food.
"Your Majesty, please urge the front line to fight as soon as possible, otherwise the cultivation will be delayed, the army will have no food and pay at the end of the year, and there will be even more chaos."
"I have already said that Hong Qing has the final say in Jinzhou's border affairs and cannot be rushed. Or should I say that Ai Qing is ready to go to the front line and fight side by side with Mr. Hong?"
Chongzhen looked at the Minister of Household Affairs who was beeping just now.
"Ever since I was trapped in Jinzhou, I have often dreamed at night, always remembering Lu Xiang and Lu Qing.
He led the soldiers to guard until the end, and all died for my Ming Dynasty, maintaining their loyalty and integrity of the Ming officials.
It makes me heartache every time I think about it, what a good minister, what a good official the Ming Dynasty was?
I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and civil servants and military officers have come one after another, and have shed the last drop of blood for me and for the Ming Dynasty. Although I have been granted titles, there are still shortcomings.
Today I am here to pass the imperial edict. I have invested one hundred thousand taels and arranged with the Ministry of Rites to build a monument to protect the country of the Ming Dynasty opposite the Meridian Gate.
Lu Xiang was posthumously promoted to Lu Qing as King Anding of the Ming Dynasty, God of Military Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and General Protector of the Ming Dynasty, and his name was engraved on the head of the stele.
At the same time, fourteen generals who died in battle, including Sun Yuanhua, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui, and Qi Jiguang, were posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Anding of the Ming Dynasty, and were engraved under the title of King Lu.
The Ministry of Rites formulates regulations to determine the conditions for recording names in the future.
This purpose will be announced to the world after the monument is built."
"I want everyone in the world to know.
The generals who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for our Ming Dynasty, resisted the rebellion, and protected the people of our Ming Dynasty from being harmed.
Be loyal to me, ask for orders for the people, be honest as an official, and be praised by the local officials for your dedication and dedication.
Everyone can be engraved with the name of the monument to protect the country of the Ming Dynasty. It will be respected by the people of the Ming Dynasty and the descendants of the royal family. As long as the Ming Dynasty lasts, the incense will continue to burn!
I want to tell the world that for the sake of peace in the Ming Dynasty, their blood was not shed in vain!
Cabinet, six ministries, do you have any objections?"
The Chongzhen chicken thieves did not say that the founding of slaves was the invasion of foreign enemies. Strictly speaking, the founding of slaves was indeed the rebellion of slaves Gandusi. From now on, it will be called recovering lost territory.
Quiet, total quiet.
Fan Fucui trembled, and Chongzhen did what he said that day. As for the Wenchen Pavilion, it was not far away. Fan Fucui had the opportunity to leave his name in history.
Sun Chuanting, Chen Xinjia and other leading military officials clenched their fists and wanted to speak but felt unable to do so.
Li Ruolian, the guard of the Beijing camp, the Jin Yiwei guards and other generals all fell to the ground and faced Chongzhen.
"I am Wuyi, Your Majesty is Holy Ming! Great Ming for all ages!"
"I am Wuyi, Your Majesty is Holy Ming! Great Ming for all ages!"
Chongzhen looked at the people kneeling below and secretly thought that Lu Xiangsheng was indeed right.
Lu Xiangsheng was a civil servant and a military general. His death in battle was even more tragic. Although he had been granted a posthumous title, it was nothing compared to what he is now.
"Lin Aiqing, after retiring from the court, come to Wuying Hall to find me. This matter needs to be organized. After deliberation, we will announce it to the world.
My dear friends, do you have anything else to report?"
The ministers in the DPRK were still digesting Chongzhen's edict that was announced without any warning. After Chongzhen left and Lin Yuji followed, they relaxed among themselves.
"Hey, I'm really scared to death today. How can your majesty meet with his ministers in battle? Is this your majesty of the Ming Dynasty? How is he different from barbarians with such lack of etiquette?"
"Zhang, please worry about yourself first. I saw the way the eunuch looked at you just now, and I wanted to eat you alive."
"Don't worry about Zhang! As ministers, we must be brave enough to speak out. We will take care of all our duties and ensure that Dongchang's troubles cannot touch you."
Zhang Sizhi approached the crowd and said, instantly attracting praise and making him feel excited.
After many ministers calmed down and thought about the performance of cabinet ministers today, they felt enlightened and figured out everything.
Due to the recent anomalies in His Majesty and the cabinet, all the co-authors and bachelors have already worn the same pants as the emperor.
Fan Fucui's protégé Meng Zhaoxiang, now the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, followed Fan Fucui and complained softly.
"Master Fan, it's so hard for you to hide this from the students! If you had told the students earlier, the students would have behaved well in front of His Majesty during this period!"
"Hey, Yunji, this matter is a bit complicated. Some of His Majesty have issued a hush-hush order. If it is leaked, it will be more terrible than having your house confiscated. You just need to know that Your Majesty is no longer the easy deceiver.
Besides, I’ve also reminded you that in court today, I told you not to talk nonsense. Fortunately, you were obedient and didn’t follow those reckless people. Otherwise, your career will be over in the future!”
Fan Fucui walked leisurely and said softly. What he didn't know was that with Meng Zhaoxiang's character, Chongzhen would not blame Meng Zhaoxiang even if he got involved today. In fact, Chongzhen now treats the group of ministers who accompanied him to death very much.
Tolerance.
"Teacher, don't worry, students are not like that."
"Well, Yunji, let me tell you a very key point. Your Majesty intends to establish an independent agency. In the future, the six ministries and cabinets will gradually be replaced. Now that Your Majesty has money, food, and troops, what do you think?
Can you do what you want to do?"
"Teacher!!! The students understand."
"Well, just understand. Listen carefully to my teacher. You will have the opportunity to take a few more steps in the future. Remember to keep this matter confidential."
Meng Zhaoxiang exclaimed when he heard Fan Fucui whisper when he stopped. Now he finally understood why several cabinet ministers obviously did not deal with each other, and even the disciples behind them had conflicts with each other, but they stayed together tightly.
The emperor's side.
In fact, there is one thing that Fan Fucui didn't talk about, and that is Chongzhen's method, the method of conjuring objects out of thin air.
The ministers in the court were not in the palace, just like the cabinet ministers, and this was not the time to ask questions. When they left the palace, several cabinet ministers received invitations at the same time.
All the ministers in the court wanted to understand the twists and turns and why the cabinet ministers separated from the masses and the circle to listen to the emperor's words.
Just because of a monument? Even if you beat them to death, they wouldn’t believe it. If there is no transaction of power and money, there will be ghosts.
Wang Dao walked straight to the Meridian Gate and saw Li Rixuan, the official minister, riding a bicycle skillfully with two servants running behind him.
"Hmph, Your Majesty is so scheming. He is famous and profitable, but why didn't you notice me? Is it because I am usually too innocent, which makes Your Majesty feel that I cannot be approached?"
"The censor of Wang Zuodu, the censor of Wang Zuodu!"
Wang Daozhi heard someone shouting behind him, stood up and turned his head with a smile, but when he saw Gao Yushun running over panting, his face turned cold again.
Humph, the eunuchs are a scourge.
When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he wanted to build a shrine. He and many like-minded people opposed it, so he hated the eunuchs extremely.
However, thinking that Gao Yushun was after all a popular figure around His Majesty and in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he still waited.
"Wang Zuodu Censor, after His Majesty retires from the court, he has asked our family to inform you.
He said that you are not like usual today, you did not take the opportunity to make things difficult, and you did your duty as a courtier. He is very pleased and will reward you with a bicycle, which will be delivered to your house in the afternoon."
"I thank your Majesty for your great kindness. I feel extremely ashamed.
Oh, thank you very much, Admiral Gao, I don’t have anything with me to give as a gift."
Wang Daozhi, who had always had a stinking face, suddenly turned into a kind face and faced Gao Yushun with a smile, which made Gao Yushun, the eunuch who had always disliked Wang Daozhi, feel confused.
Wang Dao touched his sleeves, but it was a pity that there were only pieces of silver and copper plates. If he gave those things to Gao Yushun, the eunuch would feel that he had insulted him.
"Eunuch Gao, please tell your majesty that sincere words are hard to hear, as a minister, you will not harm your majesty. It is for your majesty's good that you say more on a regular basis and don't say anything today."
"Wang Yushi, I will tell your Majesty."
After hearing this, Gao Yushun couldn't help but want to laugh. These ministers really spoke righteously. They usually used to criticize the emperor, but now they did it for the emperor.
But today, Wang Dao was sensible and didn't get into trouble with the emperor. It was lucky. He also got a bicycle. I think he will be more obedient in the future.
Wang Daozhi changed from muttering to himself and being unhappy just now to a smile on his face.
"Master, why are you so happy?"
Outside Wende Gate, the waiting servant saw Wang Daozhi going to court today. Instead of his usual straight face, his face was flushed and he asked curiously.
"It's just a reward from His Majesty. This little bicycle is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hahahaha!"
"Congratulations, sir, you are so valued by His Majesty!"
"Congratulations, sir, for receiving a bicycle as a reward from His Majesty, and for having the opportunity to serve as Prime Minister!"
"Congratulations, sir..."
Amidst the compliments from all the servants, Wang Daozhi felt even better. He was a loner and refused to show off his status, but that didn't mean he didn't value fame and fortune. Those who have bicycles in Beijing are undoubtedly the top officials in the Ming Dynasty.
several.
As he passed by the Royal Store in a sedan chair, Wang Dao listened to the noisy sound, and then he remembered that he wanted to go into the store to take a look, so he quickly called people to stop.
"Stop, stop! Didn't I say I wanted to visit?"
"Master, it's too crowded, it's too crowded, I might not be able to get in!"
Hearing the sound, Wang Dao immediately pulled up the curtain. Before he noticed it, he suddenly felt a shaking.
"Ouch, whoever has no eyesight bumped into Uncle Ben!"
"Sir, this is the sedan chair of Zuodu Yushi."
After Wang Daozhi and Zhou Kui got off the sedan, they noticed that the Royal Merchant was already crowded with people.
The normal 6000 daily updates will start tomorrow. There seems to be a problem in the comment area and dianqiu these days, and it has not been restored today.
