Ming Dynasty: The opening spoiler: Chongzhen is the king who lost his country

But in the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial City, the lights were still bright, and the attendants outside were all standing straight, motionless, as if they were not affected by the "whirring" north wind at all.

Many figures were faintly reflected on the window paper of the main hall, but only one voice sounded in the hall, and it seemed a little lonely in the silence.

"I see that you are usually full of wealth, and your ability to recite poetry is more proficient than the other. When encountering things, they will only talk about it, what Jiannu will not take a detour, what Zunhua will not have a problem, which one is accurate?"

Emperor Chongzhen stood behind the imperial table, leaned forward, and his angry voice echoed in the hall: "Look, Jiannu sneaked through Jizhou, Lianke Sanhe, Xianghe, Shunyi, these places don't even have a decent resistance, and there are even officials who surrender to Jiannu!".

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, knew that Emperor Chongzhen was talking about him, although he was old and thick-skinned, he couldn't stand this pile, and he was slapped in the face, so he had to kneel down: "The minister is guilty!"

The other ministers and the six ministers saw that Shoufu had all knelt down, and it was not easy to stand anymore, so they knelt down together.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to see them all kneeling, and continued to vent his anger and helplessness: "What do the troops I raise do for food? It's just that all of them are pigs, and they are put there for Jiannu to be cut down one by one, I'm afraid they won't just last for so long, right?"

Kneeling below, no one dared to argue, for fear of setting themselves on fire.

"Also, here are a few of the chapters of the Imperial History's impeachment of the Ministry of War: Jiannu made a detour to attack Zunhua, sneaked through Jizhou, and now even Kejing and a few places in the west of Beijing, completely unaware in advance, so that he reacted passively, resulting in a difficult situation, what is the opinion of the cabinet?"

The few ministers below raised their heads, looked at each other, and finally stared at Han Yi, and then lowered their heads and did not speak. Han Yi looked at them and knew that he was letting him come out, who made himself the first assistant.

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet means to hand over the guilt to the Minister. "

Han Yi said.

"Quasi-play!".

Emperor Chongzhen simply agreed, it was too incompetent.

After a while, there was one less kneeling man.

This is also an expected thing, Jiannu entered the prison, the Beijing division was in crisis, and the military department Shangshu must be responsible for leadership.

Emperor Chongzhen sang a one-man show alone for so long, and he felt a little bored, but after venting, his anger was lowered, and he stopped talking.

I

flipped through the other books on the royal table, it was good not to turn it over, but when I flipped it, I rushed to my head again: "Also, I don't want to face the edict of King Qin, but who are the people who came! Every army of King Qin shouted poverty, almost all of them rushed all the way over, and the people who robbed me came, how is this different from Jiannu?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen directly threw those letters in front of everyone: "Look at it, these are the chapters of the counties along the way, accusing their soldiers of being like bandits, and where they pass, the chickens and dogs are restless." The commanders of the various ministries defended themselves that it was caused by the fact that they had not been paid for several months, and that if the court did not pay them again, the ranks would collapse. What do you say?".

The head of the household department is full of self-strictness, the word Jing Zeng, the number is Baiyang, and he went over on his knees and picked up the chapter and turned it over, and then replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, most of them have been paid silver, but because the household department really has no silver, only half of it has been issued...... Only Gansu, Shaanxi and other places have not been issued. "

Chongzhen: "Now is an extraordinary period, and the armies are coming from King Qin, can they make up the arrears?"

"Your Majesty, if you are not willing to do so, there is really no silver to be issued. Last month, Liaodong was allocated 100,000 taels of silver to pay for the artillery of Macao and Portugal. The remaining silver is not enough to pay for the grain and grass of the army of King Qin, and there are still a few unpaid funds that are still to be paid by the end of the year. "

Chongzhen: "Then what is the way to solve the urgent need of the moment?"

Bi Ziyan was silent.

"The cabinet and the household department will go back and discuss it again, and they will settle the part of Qin Wangjun's salary no matter what. "

Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one objected, so he agreed, so he said: "All the secretaries, let's be even." "

Everyone thought that this was the end of the day, and they breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone stood up and prepared to go home, fortunately, only one Wang Qia was unlucky today.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen's voice sounded again: "Who can assume the position of secretary of the military department?"

No one spoke, and in this situation, the position of the secretary of the military department was roasted on the stove, and few people could sit firmly, so no one dared to recommend it, for fear of joint responsibility.

Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, waiting for everyone to speak, and the hall fell into silence.

After a while, no one spoke, and the ministers below were all like mud bodhisattvas in the temple, looking at their noses and their noses and hearts.

The hall was in an awkward situation.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and they could be heard very clearly in the silence.

After a while, an attendant flashed into the room and announced: "Sun Chengzong, the former Liaodong Jingluo, asks to see him." "

Almost everyone present had this idea, but they were also relieved, thanks to this old man Sun, the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall was ended.

Emperor Chongzhen changed his angry face just now, and hurriedly ordered: "Spread quickly." "

After a while, a steady footstep sounded from far to near, and then a thin white-bearded old man, wearing a cloth robe, strode into the main hall, looked at the important ministers standing on the main hall and the Chongzhen Emperor above, walked up steadily, knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen, and said with full anger: "Long live the grass people, long live long live, long live, long live." "

Emperor Chongzhen was still a long time ago, Sun Chengzong saw it when he gave a lesson to Emperor Tianqi, and now it has been many years, much older than in his impression, and he can't help but be slightly disappointed, Yun Zheng recommended, I want to reuse the person who is already so old.

After being stunned for a while, he remembered that Sun Chengzong was still kneeling, and hurriedly said, "Flat." "

After Sun Chengzong stood up, Emperor Chongzhen said in a normal voice: "Someone recommended Master Sun to me, which is also what I want, so I sent someone to pass on the edict to Master Sun." "

The people below and Sun Chengzong were stunned, who recommended it, why didn't they hear a little rumor.

"I don't know who recommended the grass people, and why?"

Sun Chengzong's voice was very loud, and the attendants outside the hall could hear it very clearly without eavesdropping.

"Who recommended it, Master Sun will know in the future. "

Emperor Chongzhen paused and then said, "Now that Jiannu has violated it, Master Sun has heard about it, right?"

"The grass people have heard about it, but the details are still to be known. "

So, Emperor Chongzhen asked Han Yi, the head of the cabinet, to explain the events of the past few days to Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong also understood the reason why Emperor Chongzhen let him be able to meet him as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

Sun Chengzong turned to Emperor Chongzhen and asked, "Your Majesty beckoned, what do you want the grass people to do?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong's white beard, a little worried, and asked, "Master Sun, I remember that you are sixty-seven this year, right?

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he replied in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the country is troubled, and if the grass people are nested at home, they can't eat. "

Emperor Chongzhen heard the meaning of Sun Chengzong's words, and couldn't help but be happy, a person who dares to take responsibility will not give a bad impression in the first place.

"I know that Master Sun is familiar with Liao affairs, and I recall that when Master Sun was in charge of Liao affairs, Jiannu couldn't help Master Sun at all. Now that Jiannu is invading Jingshi, can you help me share my worries?".

"The grass people's liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and they will never give up!".

A

sonorous voice echoed in the Mandarin Palace.

"Well, I'm very relieved. "

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, bypassed the imperial table, walked down the imperial steps, came to Sun Chengzong and said, "I ordered you to be a scholar of the Zhongji Hall and a scholar of the military department, and coordinate and dispatch the defense of the Beijing Division. "

"Obey the order!".

Sun Chengzong didn't seem to know the hot position of the current secretary of the military department and the difficulty of defending Jiannu, so he agreed in one bite.

Emperor Chongzhen finally found someone who could do things.

The

cabinet and the various ministries were also exempted from Emperor Chongzhen's forced questioning of silver.

Now everyone was happy, so they went to their own homes.
