Luo Yangxing is the current commander of Jinyiwei, Zhou Yanru is the current chief minister of the cabinet, and Wang Zhixin is the current admiral of Dongchang. These three people represent the three major systems respectively, and Chongzhen must first investigate and verify the authenticity of the incident through them.

After giving the order, Chongzhen stood there blankly and read the letter again. Then he blushed, with veins on his forehead popping out. He raised his head and closed his eyes, and began to mutter something about "ancestors' blessings."

class words.

There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "I am so diligent" and "Yao, Shun and Yu Tang", etc. No one around them dared to laugh at this time...but the platform was filled with happy air.

Usually in later generations, once such people enter places such as high-speed rail stations, they will be policed ​​and detained.

Fortunately, it was the seventeenth century, and no one in the imperial city dared to rebel against the boss, so Chongzhen launched hysteria in broad daylight.

In the end, Empress Zhang saw that the situation was not going well and stepped forward to interrupt the emperor's illness: "This is a great victory at the border. I congratulate the emperor! Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"

Along with Queen Zhang's Wanfu salute, all the eunuchs, maids, guards, and ministers on the platform knelt down and shouted in unison: "My slaves/little ministers congratulate the emperor!"

The emperor woke up with a start.

After looking around in surprise, Chongzhen, who returned to the normal channel, hurriedly bowed and stretched out his arms to help: "Sister-in-law, please get up quickly!"

When the emperor's sister-in-law stood up, the emperor smiled and raised his hands: "Get up, everyone. I am very happy today. I congratulate you all!"

The palace officials, who had never heard the emperor speak so kindly before, couldn't believe it for a moment, so everyone kowtowed again and then stood up one after another.

Next, the emperor said to someone with a smile on his face: "Since there is a great victory, there must be many links involved. Wen Aiqing, please tell me the details."

The old actor Wen Tiren did not follow the emperor's wishes at this time, but clearly pointed out the most important thing to do at the moment: "Your Majesty, the palace door is about to be locked. I think we should move first."

"Ah, that's right, move on!" After hearing this, the emperor looked at the sky and found that it was already evening, and the palace gate would be closed soon: "I'm so happy that I'm confused. Someone, please move on and clear it up."

.....Go to Huangji Palace."

Qianqing Palace is the main palace of the inner court and the first palace among the so-called "Three Back Palaces (Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace)".

Due to the convenient location of the Qianqing Palace, just outside the Qianqing Gate are the three main palaces of the outer dynasty. Therefore, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty used the Qianqing Palace as their residence. Activities such as handling political affairs, receiving ministers and foreign envoys, and hosting family banquets were also held there.

Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen just wanted to go back to Qianqing Palace out of habit.

However, he suddenly realized that since such a big thing had happened, he and his ministers would probably have to work all night tonight, so he could not return to the inner court. Otherwise, the palace door would be locked soon, and it would be inconvenient for the ministers to come in and out.

So I can only go to Huangji Palace.

Huangji Hall is the name of the Ming Dynasty, which is the Hall of Supreme Harmony in later generations. It is the first hall after the Meridian Gate and the largest. It is usually used as a royal symbol for holding court meetings. If you go there, wait for the palace door to be locked.

The emperor could order that a certain small door in the outer court should be reserved for entry and exit, so as not to disturb the inner court.

So the emperor hurriedly drove to the Huangji Palace amidst the congratulations from the Queen Mother's palace people behind him.

Chongzhen's current location is under the right wall of the Forbidden City. From here, go straight west, pass the Imperial Horse Prison, and then pass through the left-wing gate, which happens to be the Huangji Hall. Therefore, the emperor came faster than the ministers this time. A group of people entered the hall.

After ascending to the throne, I found that only Zhou Yanru, who worked at Wenyuan Pavilion not far away, had arrived first, and the others had not arrived yet.

Zhou Yanru, the confused chief assistant, read the letter first.

After reading the letter, Zhou Shoufu instinctively told himself: This is not true.

In his opinion, not to mention the long-term decline of the Ming Dynasty against Hou Jin, the number 4,000 alone was simply fraud and false reporting of military information. He had seen too many such battle reports.

In addition, considering that Wen Tiren is currently in a critical period of joining the cabinet, Zhou Shoufu has reason to believe that it is Wen Tiren who is definitely causing trouble this time. The method is the same as the previous verbal battles with scholars. In short, it is still eye-catching.

Eyes are the way to attract the emperor's attention.

After the appraisal was completed, Zhou Shoufu glanced at the extremely excited emperor on the throne, and said a few words in a nonchalant manner, and then the old god was there, with his hands on his stomach, ready to watch the show.

Yes, Lord Chief Assistant has no intention of disturbing Wen Tiren's good things. The answer can be revealed in just half a day, so why should he jump out and interfere?

On the contrary, he planned to study hard the tricks of the old dramatists to deceive Shang Ting. You know, Zhou Yanru was the youngest chief minister of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. He was only 37 years old this year! There is still a lot to learn from the elders.

.....................................

Zhou Yanru, to put it bluntly, is a fence-sitting person who puts interests above all else.

First of all, the relationship between Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party is actually very close. He is a disciple of Ye Xianggao, the first leader of the Donglin Party.

However, during this Jisi Incident, when Zhou Yanru realized that Chongzhen was disappointed with Yuan Chonghuan and the Donglin Party, he immediately turned his back and impeached Yuan Chonghuan.

What happened next became a matter of course: the Donglin Party must take revenge on the second and fifth boys.

Therefore, when the party leader Qian Qianyi used the lottery method to select cabinet ministers, he secretly took out the names of Wen Tiren, who was the Minister of Rites at the time, and Zhou Yanru, the minister.

This then triggered a counterattack by Wen Tiren and the emperor, who made Qian Qianyi a retired veteran cadre in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Zhou Yanru became the chief minister as he wished.

In real history, after Wen Tiren entered the cabinet this year, the two sides immediately turned against each other and started fighting. Then Wen spent three years to beat Zhou Yanru into a retired cadre.

However, when Zhou Yanru returned to his hometown, he fought fiercely with the Donglin Party again. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, with the strong support of the Donglin Party, Zhou Yanru finally rose up and went to Beijing again to shine for the court.

In short, for Zhou Shoufu, the reaction of going with the flow and waiting for the good show is in line with his position and the role of a weak person at this point in time. Because so far, there is no major conflict between him and Wen Tiren, and the two sides are dealing with Dong Lin.

As for the party, it seems to be sharing the pressure.

Not to mention Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Wang Zhixin, the admiral of the Dongchang, who hurriedly came from behind. In fact, these two had no political say, and they purely listened to the emperor's orders.

So after everyone in Huangji Palace gathered for a brief discussion, it didn't take long for the three major systems to send a large number of people out of the east gate of the capital and went straight to the direction of Santun Camp to check the authenticity.

Immediately afterwards, all officials of third rank and above, including ministers and ministers of various ministries, were sent by the emperor to announce the opening of the Late Dynasty.

Generally speaking, the emperor rarely holds evening dynasties. However, since the Jisi Incident, Chongzhen has held evening dynasties twice, so the ministers who got the news rushed to the palace one after another, for fear of another bad news.

In this process, 4,000 Tatars were killed, and the news of Amin's beheading naturally spread like wildfire. Then the whole capital was like an electric shock, and Ming people who had been suppressed for a long time rushed to tell each other. It didn't take long for the news to spread.

It turned into a rumor, which became more and more mysterious. The death toll of the Tatars was soon increased to 40,000.

At this moment, the Huangji Palace was naturally extremely lively.

A group of Donglin Party members were frothing at the mouth, glaring with their halberds, and they were besieging and spraying Wen Tiren wildly. They were likely to spray the animal to death on the spot as a way of thanking the emperor for his kindness.

The Donglin Party members, who know everything about astronomy and geography, and are expert in military formations, have completely refuted the contents of the letter. Not only did they point out n errors and omissions in it, but they also accurately judged Wen Tiren.

Unspeakable and dark purpose: This guy is a popular internet celebrity, and he created this letter to catch the emperor’s attention.

Under the attack of suspicious eyes and saliva splashing on his face, Comrade Wen Tiren, an old actor, closed his eyes slightly, folded his sleeves with his hands, and turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window. He actually stood there and fell asleep. He had already placed his bet and did everything he could.

, just waiting to open the cup.

As for the clowns in Dong Lin... let them be, the harder they scold them, the less the emperor wants to see them.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

When Chongzhen found that the ministers in front of him could no longer make any new noises, he ordered to drive away all the idlers, leaving only a small number of ministers on duty all night.

As for the emperor himself, because he was too excited, he stayed up until late at night before going to the side hall to rest, and left a message: you can wake him up at any time if there is military situation.

However, the night passed quickly and nothing happened.

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, thousands of officials had gathered outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the morning drums to sound.

Today is different from the past. All the officials in Beijing who are qualified to participate in the morning court have come to work, and everyone is in high spirits. There is a buzz in the crowd, everyone is exchanging the news that surprises everyone.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the bell rang and the palace door opened.

All the officials entered one after another, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and stood in the square.

After that, the young emperor, who had only rested for a few hours, arrived outside the Huangji Hall, and all the officials knelt down and kowtowed three times. The morning court on April 5, 1630 officially began.

A special mention should be made here: Chongzhen was undoubtedly the most diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

It was common for this gentleman to correct memorials until one or two o'clock in the morning, and he would arrive at court every morning. He was more diligent than the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. However, this was of no use. The building would collapse. The more diligent he was, the faster the country would perish.

..................................................

Today's morning meeting, the main theme is still the denouncement meeting of the fraudster Wen Tiren.

The cadres of Donglin took turns to come on stage. While criticizing Wen Tiren, they also called on their colleagues not to spread rumors or believe them. By the way, some people also asked the emperor to send Wen Tiren to the border to "thank the world."

So under the helpless gaze of the emperor, Lao Wentou endured it silently, and was severely beaten in the first round.

Just when the generals took a breath and prepared to continue their efforts, the east turned red, the sun rose, and a ray of morning light fell.

At the same time, a fast horse passed through the Meridian Gate and Jinshui Bridge, waving its belt, and dismounted directly outside the Huangji Gate.

Then, under the watchful eyes of densely packed imperial officials on both sides, the messenger, who was wearing a brocade uniform, ran all the way to His Majesty Dan, knelt down and shouted: "To your Majesty, it has been found out that Deputy Commander Zhang Chao defeated the Tatar soldiers and beheaded them."

More than 4,000 levels!”

At this moment, all the Donglin Party members turned into toads, with their eyes protruding.

At this moment, Lao Wen covered his forehead and was about to collapse.
Chapter completed!
