Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Eight: The Holy Driving Out of the Palace
Zhu Youzing's thoughts were clearer, and the case was settled, saving him from the long night and dreams.
His idea was consistent with the cabinet, and the cabinet was also afraid of making things worse. Although the court is not a big deal at the moment, it is better to have less than more things, right? So many years have passed, and I don’t know how many times have I changed since Emperor Wen?
Emperor, why don’t life still be lived?
There will be something wrong with stabbing a hornet's nest. If there is trouble, someone will have to deal with the aftermath. In the end, the cabinet will not be the one who deals with the aftermath? Besides, this matter involves border towns, which is not very fun. The court is involved in border towns.
It has always been a taboo, and this thing is a taboo.
Liu Jian said: "When the matter is settled, the old minister will immediately make a note."
Zhu Youzhang drank a sip of ginseng tea, cheered up, and nodded, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. There is another way, what should be drafted should be drawn up. Liu Chengfeng posted a memorial a few days ago.
I believe you have read it, and the things in this memorial are simple, that is, if the student army wins this time, what reward should the court give? This guy..." Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but smile and said, "This battle
Before he could fight, he had no choice but to win or lose, so he thought about asking for benefits. It was thanks to him that he could think of it. I wondered if he lost, how should he explain me?”
Liu Jian had never read this memorial, and a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Li Dongyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty, this is the case. This memorial was the first to see by the empress. However, I didn't take this kind of mischievous memorial seriously. I handed it over to the Tongzhengsi to the emperor.
It’s here, but it’s just a joke. Don’t take it seriously. Is Liu Chengfeng still having less trouble?"
Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself, so that's it, no wonder he had never read this memorial.
Li Dongyang's words made everyone feel relaxed. It's not that people with thick skin in this world have seen them, but it's really unheard of those who are as thick-skinned as Liu Chengfeng. Zhu Youzhang thought for a while and said, "You can't speak so much."
It would be fine if Liu Chengfeng wanted to ask for merit for himself, but Liu Chengfeng was asking for merit for the student army. If the court ignored it, what would the outsiders think? If this time it really won,
It is not an exaggeration to give the reward. However, when the prince entered the palace a few days ago, he said that there was no need for any silver and money rewards, and there was no need to be promoted. As long as the court gave the student army a title, they asked.
The benefits are nothing. Are I still stingy with a title? But how can I give this title? I still have to think about it again. If I really win a great victory, I must not treat it unfairly."
Zhu Youxi decided to make a decision, but the three ministers were all active in their hearts. They just felt that the emperor said something on purpose and gave them a vaccination. What's the name? In fact, it's just about it.
Let the cabinet officially recognize the existence of the student army, so the student army no longer needs to be under the name of the business bank and become the regular armed forces of the Ming Dynasty.
Agreeing with this is equivalent to acquiescing to the emperor's plan to expand his military equipment and even accepting a new national policy.
Liu Jian couldn't help but frown and wanted to say something. At this time, it was difficult to curb Zhu Youzhang's interest. Besides, the student army will win or lose or say two things. Now it is fiercely opposed, but it is not beautiful.
I will go smoothly today and agree to it for the time being. When the student army is defeated, your Majesty will be embarrassed to mention this matter again. As for victory...
Liu Jian shook his head in his heart. It’s not easy to win. I’m afraid there are not even one or two of them, so what do I want to do?
Seeing that the cabinet ministers were not speaking, Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but say joyfully: "Then the matter was decided like this. It's getting late. The three dear ministers, please go to the cabinet's duty room to sit first. I'll take a break first.
I'll go watch the game later."
Liu Jian and the other two stood up to say goodbye. Zhu Youzhang did not go to rest, but took a shower, put on court clothes, put on the sky crown, cheered up, called an eunuch, and ordered: "Prepare the car, civil and military officials
Have you all arrived?"
The emperor was about to leave the palace, how could all officials not come to accompany him? The eunuch replied: "Everyone is ready, and they are waiting outside the Daming Gate."
Zhu Youzhe nodded: "Let's go."
The emperor went on a patrol, and the Daming Gate was open at this time. The city gate that had not been opened for a long time was still extremely bright. Teams of guards appeared in various costumes. The 12 commanders of the Beijing Guards all sent people, Jinyiwei,
The Jinwu vanguards, the palace guards, and the Huben left guards were all dispatched. The bright clothes and armor, sharp swords and guns, as well as the eunuchs and palace servants were waiting for a long time at this time.
Outside the Ming Gate were civil and military officials wearing court uniforms, waiting with breath, and occasionally a Pegasus galloped past the imperial road beside the officials, holding flags and singing constantly: "The car is coming, and the ministers are calm!
"
As he was speaking, an eight-horse carriage slowly came out from the doorway, surrounded by the guards holding flags and flags. As soon as the carriage arrived, everyone shouted long live. A eunuch said, "The courtesy is completed, the emperor has the will, everyone
You are accompanying you out of the palace..."
The carriage had passed the Ming Gate, and the various guards listed beside the road followed him in a mighty manner, with great power, golden drums, flags, full-time holdings, ceremonial guards, and sword guards,
The captain holding the spear, the powerful general of the Han Dynasty, the officials who were summoned at any time in front of the army, and a group of people were in awe. There was no other sound except the friction of the armor pieces, the sound of horse hooves, and the heavy breathing.
From Daming Gate to Zhengyang Gate, the streets along the way are full of military horses from the 12 yamen of Beijing Guards, three steps and five steps. This is not counting, but there are also horse riding horses like lightning
The street was speeding past, just in case, patrolling back and forth.
The shops along the way have been informed of Shuntian Mansion. They are not allowed to open the windows, and are not allowed to stroll on the streets.
Such disturbing moves were already planned by Zhu Youzhang and the cabinet. To disturb the people, but there are so many vassal ministers and envoys, so that these vassal ministers and envoys can see the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, then
There are political considerations here. Although face is one aspect, the vassal ministers have always been like this. When they see you are bullied, they will not obey the king's transformation. When they see you are strong, they will obediently submit and not give them any knowledge of the Celestial Empire.
How can they make their hearts yearn for and fear them?
Behind the team of officials, envoys from various countries were invited. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be amazed. In front of the car was a team of three thousand iron cavalry. The iron cavalry was in front of the sword, and the horse's hooves rumbled, as if the green on the imperial road was
The bricks will be broken.
Behind the carriage, in addition to guards holding ceremonial books, ceremonial guards and flags, there was also a team of 800 infantrymen. Although the swords were sheathed, the bursting momentum also made people feel scared.
The guards on both sides were studded in three or five steps, extending to the end of the imperial road. They had never seen such a large formation in their lifetime. The strength of the Ming Dynasty can be seen today.
The vast team went straight to Zhengyangmen. On the Zhengyangmen Tower, a group of elite soldiers poked their heads out, holding bows, arrows, muskets, etc., and were on guard. First, an eunuch rode a horse down the city tower and shouted:
"The Emperor is here..."
Up and down the city tower, countless people bowed their knees and said together: "Long live my emperor..." The voice resounded through the sky and went straight to the nine heavens.
When the eunuch listened, he sat down and sang: "The courtesy is completed, the decree is ordered: Everyone, be careful!"
"Abide by the order!" everyone shouted, then stood up with a thunderous sound.
The car stopped steadily under the city tower, and a eunuch helped Zhu Youzhang out of the car. Zhu Youzhang fell to the ground while stepping on a high stool. He glanced at him and saw the bright armored guards everywhere on the city tower.
Countless flags were waving, and everyone bowed their heads to him wherever their eyes passed. The troubles of that night disappeared in a moment, and called an official who was in the prequel to say, "Come on the tower."
The official immediately went to pass the oral order. In a moment, the gatekeeper guarding the waist knife brought a group of generals to Zhu Youting ten feet away, and bowed one knee and said, "Please go up to the tower."
Zhu Youzhi nodded and went up the stairs of the city tower first. A team of guards and military officers followed the left and right, following the steps.
On this city tower, the flags and croakers have been renovated. Behind the female wall, there are tables and chairs. Zhu Youzhang sat on the chair. Through the female wall, you can see the urn city and the under urn city.
The open space has been cleaned up and is revealed in front of Zhu Youting at a glance.
The city tower of the Wucheng City is also rows of guards standing still, extremely solemn.
Immediately afterwards, some important officials and envoys from the vassal states also went up to the city tower. Those who could accompany Zhu Youting on the highest floor of the city tower were naturally very close ministers. Even the prince had arrived and accompanied Zhu.
Zhu Youzhang glanced at him, but said nothing, but just held the newly-launched tea and covered his cool hands.
The officials sat down according to the size of the official ranks for the rest of the city tower.
At this time, the tent vanguards of the Student Army and the Wats had not arrived yet. Zhu Youzhang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The vanguards of the tent and the Student Army."
"Transfer...the vanguard, student army..."
The eunuchs sang...
Immediately afterwards, the guard who had taken the death flag, immediately turned over and sent the order quickly...
Zhu Youzhang sat high on the city tower. The eunuch next to him was afraid that the wind was strong here, so he moved closer, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer. It's cold here and the wind is strong, so it's better to take a break first.
Have a break?"
Zhu Youting smiled, pointed at the guards everywhere with a bold heart and said, "If they are not afraid, why am I afraid of the wind and cold?"
