Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu brought the imperial doctor with him. After a lot of rescuing, he injected acupuncture and pinched people, and finally no one was allowed to go directly.
However, as soon as the two elders woke up, they were already in tears before they even opened their eyes.
"My late emperor! I'm sorry for you, sir!"
"With an army of five hundred thousand, I have no shame in seeing all the late emperors..."
Although the official positions of these two elders are not high, they are both veterans of the former emperor.
At this moment, while weeping bitterly, all the officials in the palace were also infected.
"Wang Zhen, the thief, misled my Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, this old minister is incompetent and did not stop you from going on a personal expedition, which is why this disaster happened..."
These ministers were all officers in charge of various ministries, and at least they were at the level of ministers of the Six Ministries. However, at this moment, they showed no manners and were shouting curses.
Those who cried, those who were angry, those who cursed... turned Jiyi Hall into a vegetable market.
Looking up, the big guys headed by Wang Zhi could still maintain their composure, but their faces could not help but turn pale.
Before they came over, they only saw a brief military report.
Listening to it in full at this moment, they felt suffocated in their hearts. If they had not considered the dignity, they would have wanted to scold him harshly like the ordinary ministers below.
Even Yu Qian, who already knew the contents of the military report.
Looking at it again now, I still find it shocking and I can't help but tremble all over.
Jin Ying and Xing'an were stunned by the performance of the ministers.
They are all courtiers, and even if they have some contact with courtiers, they are not very in-depth.
In their impression, this group of elders are all prudent people who pay attention to their manners.
No matter how big things happen, they don't panic at all. Have you ever seen them yelling like this?
On the other hand, Zhu Qiyu was sitting at the top and showed no obvious performance.
He had seen this kind of scene before in his previous life.
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were never gentle scholar-bureaucrats who could only recite poems and excerpts, but had no power to tie a chicken.
At least, the current civil servants are not like that!
On the contrary, they really went crazy, not to mention yelling and yelling, sometimes even fighting in court meetings!
What's more, this military report really stimulated the elders present.
This is more than just a defeat?
Even if the emperor was not captured, in terms of the level of casualties, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a loss of troops and a humiliation to the country.
What's more, even your Majesty fell into the hands of the enemy...
This is simply a shame!
These bosses were just so angry that they fainted and did not commit suicide in shame and anger on the spot. Zhu Qiyu really felt that these bosses were very restrained.
However, it is a matter of discussion at the moment, so we can't keep it in such a mess.
Zhu Qiyu coughed slightly, Jin Ying understood, took a step forward, and shouted again.
"quiet!"
Jin Ying was born as an internal official, and this shout was very powerful. He was also the chief minister of rites, and his reputation among the courtiers was pretty good.
Therefore, after this shouting, the order in the hall finally calmed down a little.
But it's just that no one shouted and cursed loudly. The low voices and sobbing below still continued one after another.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, asking Jin Ying to step back, then got up and stood up.
He did not speak in a hurry, but calmly looked at the ministers below.
From the one who scolded the loudest to the one who cried the most.
Look at each one.
He didn't say anything, he just watched calmly.
At the beginning, the officials didn't realize anything was wrong.
But Zhu Qiyu's eyes were neither sad nor happy. When he stared at a person, he would look at him intently. And as he stood up, the eyes of the big men in the palace also followed Zhu Qiyu.
On such an occasion, being watched and saluted by so many big shots at the same time...
It didn't take long.
The ministers who were stared at by Zhu Qiyu, whether they were still crying or indignant, gradually stopped and lowered their heads.
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, the hall became audible again.
Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
"Have you cried enough? Enough scolding?"
No one answered.
Anyone can hear how many waves are hidden beneath Prince Tan's calm words.
At this time, the officials were vaguely aware of it.
It seemed that the King Tao in front of him was very different from the cowardly prince in his previous impression.
It's unclear.
If I have to say it, it is that it has a calmer temperament.
Don’t be alarmed even if things change, don’t be afraid even if you encounter chaos!
It was quiet in the main hall, and Zhu Qiyu's humming voice was very obvious.
"In the Battle of Tumu, the army was destroyed, relatives died, the emperor was taken prisoner, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers served the country loyally. It was the most deadly battle in the nearly 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."
"But look up!"
"The Queen Mother in the palace, this king, and these elders..."
"Which one of us is not filled with grief, and which one of us is not eager to eat the flesh of the captives and drink the blood of the thieves to vent his hatred, but which one of us is crying and cursing like you?"
Zhu Qiyu's voice suddenly rose, and his expression became stern.
His stern eyes glanced back and forth in the hall.
The ones who had cried the loudest all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at him.
After a pause for a moment, Zhu Qiyu continued to speak and said.
"Although you are not ministers, you are all officials in charge of various places. In the absence of the main officials, you are the backbone of each yamen. If you are all so frightened, how can you appease the courtiers below?"
Although these words are harsh, the underlying meaning is good.
The ministers present, who were originally just impressed by Zhu Qiyu's aura, began to lower their heads and ponder.
The Jiyi Hall was still quiet.
But today's atmosphere is completely different from just now.
Just now, after Yu Qian finished reading the military newspaper, some of the ministers were angry, panicked, and sad. They were all extremely excited.
Although they were suppressed by the gazes of Jin Ying and Zhu Qiyu, the anger in the hearts of the ministers did not come out, and they were still in various emotions.
Zhu Qiyu's words really made them calm down!
Calming down is the first step to being able to think and listen.
It can be said that until this time, Zhu Qiyu had initially taken control of the situation in the palace.
At least, even if there is another shocking military report, it will not become chaotic at every turn!
This method was seen by all the big guys present.
No matter what he felt in his heart, at least there was a hint of approval on his face.
In such a critical moment, what is needed is someone who can take control of the situation.
In fact, if there was really no one to choose from, they would not force the usually cowardly Prince Tan to come forward.
But now it seems.
It seems...you didn't choose the wrong person?
In addition to them, Jin Ying, who was standing at the top, also had a somewhat inexplicable look on his face.
However, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about them. He had been the emperor for seven years in his previous life, so it was easy to deal with such a situation.
The way to govern is to balance leniency with severity.
After being beaten with a stick, you should give a sweet date.
Looking around the hall, he saw that everyone's expressions gradually calmed down. Zhu Qiyu also looked a little brighter and said in a gentler tone.
"All the ministers are loyal to the country. When they suddenly heard the news, they were shocked and angry. I can understand it, but now the Holy Emperor is well, the Queen Mother is still in the palace, and I still have millions of officers and soldiers everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
Stationed."
"The artifact still exists, and the country still exists!"
"The more critical the situation, the more important it is for me, both in the government and the public, to work together as one."
"What you should do now is to fulfill your duties loyally, stick to the capital, and appease the courtiers and the people."
"In this way, we can live up to the great kindness of the past emperors and live up to the trust of the people of the country."
"Gentlemen, do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu said these words clearly. Although his tone was gentle, he was extremely firm, making people feel at ease when he heard them.
Yu Qian first took two steps forward and kowtowed solemnly.
"Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, will fulfill his duties loyally and swear to defend our capital to the death!"
Several big guys below also stood up and kowtowed.
"Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials..."
"Hu Hu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites..."
"Chen Yi, the imperial censor of Zuodu..."
Immediately afterwards, other ministers below also stood up and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"I will do my best and defend our capital to the death!"
