"Ah Qing passed on my oral order to ask Jin Yiwei to notify Qi Jiguang, Li Dakai and others to go to court. Today I want to see how many people will come to attend the morning court."
"Ah Ching obeys"
After about a stick of incense, the morning bell rang, and the resonant bell sounded almost half the capital, and the civil and military ministers hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The news of the victory in the defense of the capital spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital overnight. It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.
People loyal to Daming were both surprised and delighted. They thought that Daming's country was in danger, but unexpectedly there was a shocking counterattack. It seems that God bless me, Daming.
But those weak bones who have colluded with the rogues began to worry that their collusion with the rogues would be revealed.
On the morning of the day when Chongzhen hanged himself, he rang the bell desperately, and none of the ministers showed up. Today is a good day, everyone came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony early.
As soon as they entered the main hall, these anxious ministers realized that today was almost different from the past. There were two neat rows of Jinyi guards standing outside the hall.
Although these brocade guards were dressed the same as the previous brocade guards, they were all wearing flying fish uniforms with embroidered spring knives on their waists, but all of them looked cold and aggressive.
And the Emperor Chongzhen in the Hall of Supreme Harmony also had an upright face, sitting on the dragon chair full of energy, giving people a kind of majesty of the emperor without anger.
In the past, Chongzhen was listless all day long due to hard work day and night, and he didn't have such energy at all. The update is the fastest../ ../
The eunuch who was supposed to be standing beside them turned into a heroic beauty.
On the left and right of the emperor's Longshu case, there are still two people standing.
A young eunuch and a young Jinyiwei should be the commander of the Jinyiwei and the governor of the East and West Factory from the appearance of their attire.
Both of them gave the ministers a great sense of oppression. Generally, the governors of the East Factory and the West Factory would not go to court, and the ministers all guessed that something big would happen today.
What shocked them the most was the four people who stood at the top of the group of officials, two of whom were Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting, who had died in battle long ago.
Seeing these two people, the honorable ministers of Daming suddenly began to doubt life, feeling that all this is too unreal.
Especially the gossip officials headed by the Donglin Party, they thought that the second grandson had lied to his death and deceived the emperor, and they were already thinking about how to play it.
During the Ming Dynasty, there is generally no need to kneel down to worship, but today these ministers, feeling very guilty and guilty, all kneel down on the gold bricks of the main hall, and pay respects:
"Meet the emperor, long live long live long live."
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, you have successfully defeated the army of bandits and kept our Daming country. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the capital has never been lost. This is God's blessing to our Ming Dynasty..."
Nima, these bastards have thicker skins than city walls, and they disappear when the country is in trouble. Now that the bandits are wiped out, they all come out to flatter their horses. All the important officials in the court are like this. Can Daming not perish?
Although Zhu Youjian's face remained unchanged, he was very angry in his heart. He looked down at these people. Relying on Chongzhen's memory, he quickly recognized these nobles and ministers.
First of all, the capitulation faction headed by the cabinet chief assistant Wei Zaode and the cabinet second assistant Chen Yan seems to be the most loyal at the moment.
If Zhu Youjian wasn't a time traveler and didn't understand history, he really wouldn't be able to see the dirty and despicable faces of their humble gentlemen.
No wonder Chongzhen was deceived by them for so long, and he didn't understand what was going on until he died.
Chapter 44
No matter when the rogues entered the capital or the captives entered the customs, Daming always had some soft-boned behaviors of defecting to the enemy.Even some relatives of the royal family licked their faces and begged the enemy to live in order to survive.
Especially when the Qing army entered Nanjing, local officials not only came to show their loyalty with generous gifts, but also expressed their condolences.
He even knelt on both sides of the avenue in the rain to welcome the Qing army into the city, which completely embarrassed Daming.
Of course, there are more loyal people of the Ming Dynasty who fully demonstrated the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to fight against the Eastern captivity, more soldiers and national heroes died heroically.
In order not to succumb to the bandits, those important officials in the capital chose to be loyal to the country after the death of Emperor Chongzhen.
Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University in Chongzhen, after hearing of the death of the emperor, did not eat for four consecutive days, and his whole family threw themselves into a well to die.
The thirteen members of Ni Yuanlu's family, minister of households and lecturer, all hanged themselves.
Li Banghua, the censor of the left capital, committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.
Shi Bangyao, the deputy censor of Zuodu, committed suicide.
Wang Jiayan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, committed suicide.
Lingyiqu of Dali Temple hanged himself.
Shuji Shi Wei Xuelian committed suicide.
Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishments, and his family committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well.
Censor Chen Liangmo's family committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.
The official Xu Zhi committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.
Chengdeok's family hanged themselves,
The family of Wu Ganzhong committed suicide.
Kim Hyun, head of the Ministry of War, and his family committed suicide.
Those who left their names include Wu Zheng, Wang Zhang, and Yu Tengjiao and his wife. There are no less than a hundred people in total, and there are still people who cannot be counted.
There are nearly [-] families of noble officials Xungui who committed suicide, including Ma Shiqi, Liu Lishun, Zhou Fengxiang, Wang Wei, etc.
Thinking of these loyal souls who sacrificed their lives for the country, and looking at Wei Zaode and others, Zhu Youjian's anger reached the limit.
He sat on the dragon chair, looked down at these ministers coldly, and kept silent.
When the emperor didn't speak, the ministers didn't dare to get up, so they had to kneel down and wait for the emperor to call Pingshen.
In the past, there would definitely be ministers who were upset, but now no one dares to think that way.
A few days ago, the morning bell rang, and the army of rogues outside the city besieged the city, but the army of King Qin did not arrive all the way.
They all felt that Daming was about to end, no matter the loyal ministers or those weak bones, they were not in the mood to go to court.
It's completely different now. Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army to defeat the bandits. These ministers didn't know where the emperor moved the army from. Who would dare to disobey him.
The emperor who has always been indecisive and controlled by them has never been so majestic and cold as he is today.
It can be said that today's emperor is like a real son of tomorrow.
Just looking at the ministers will make them feel terrified and feel chills running down their backs.
What does it mean for the emperor to lay down millions of corpses in a fit of anger? They only truly realized the majesty of the emperor today.
About half a stick of incense, Li Banghua, who was 70 years old, began to shake a little, as if he couldn't support it.
