This time they came to conduct a collective impeachment, which was nothing more than giving Chongzhen a suitable excuse to take action.
This is also called sharing your worries.
When they thought that by doing so, they would not only get the money sent by Yang Guanguang, but also Chongzhen's happiness, all the ministers became happy.
After the business was finished, all the ministers respectfully sent Chongzhen off to the court. From the beginning to the end, no one talked about what should be done in the future, how the Ming Dynasty's capital could restore order, etc.
It seems that they still don't think highly of Daming, and still think that Daming is terminally ill. Even if he defeats the intruder once, it will not fundamentally solve the problem, but it will just be able to linger for a while.
The Ming Dynasty will still die in the future. Even so, they still have to maintain their relationship with Chongzhen.
Chongzhen took the lead to walk down the Jinluan Palace, and then went straight to the Kunning Palace. This made Wang Chengen who was following him a little puzzled, "Long live Lord, aren't you going to the Qianqing Palace for work?"
"Office? What business?" Chongzhen looked puzzled.
"Don't Long Live Lord need to approve these impeachment memorials sent by many ministers?" Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice. That is to say, he has followed Chongzhen for long enough. If it were anyone else, he would not dare to say such things.
"Approval? Approval of what? They are just a bunch of villains. Will I still listen to them? Well, let's keep these memorials and send them to Mr. Zhu when he comes back." Chongzhen waved his hands, as if he didn't want to. Looks like he will take care of it.
Are you kidding? After talking so much with Zhu Changwu, he already knew the virtues of a courtier. At this time, he might still listen to his ministers and punish Zhu Changwu. Is he pushing the Ming Dynasty into the abyss?
You can't listen to it, but you still have to make use of it.
Didn't Zhu Changwu say that all these ministers should be killed? Well, let's start with these impeachment people. At this time, Chongzhen really wanted to see how much wealth these self-proclaimed loyal ministers had in their families.
Will they be as honest as they always cry about poverty?
Li Guozhen and others left with satisfaction.
Based on their understanding of Chongzhen, they were afraid that the next one named Zhu Changwu would be unlucky, and then they would just have to watch the show. When Li Zicheng comes to the capital again, they can take this as their credit, and presumably no one will make things difficult for them.
If he is willing to send some money at that time, it is not impossible to regain power even if he is an official.
People like Li Guozhen and Chen Yan have been accustomed to playing with the emperor for many years. Now it is Chongzhen, and in the future it will be Li Zicheng. Apart from changing the person, there is no other difference.
The outer suburbs of the capital.
The triumphant army of the Ming Dynasty is returning to the army in large numbers.
This time the harvest is not small. Because the Dashun army fled too fast and did not take away many things, this gave the Ming army an advantage of 50,000. Under the leadership of their respective temporary commanders, they looted every Dashun military camp, but the looting Got a lot of good stuff.
There are not only iron tools, but also a small amount of gold, silver and grain, and even some prisoners were captured. Originally, the Ming soldiers below were prepared to kill them, but when the other party reported his identity, they did not take action. Instead, they reported him level by level, all the way to Ji Jinkai, and received an order to bring them back to the capital together.
Ji Jinkai cannot make the decision, these prisoners are not ordinary people. But he couldn't wake up the young master. In fact, Zhu Changwu was still sleeping, sleeping soundly and snoring loudly.
Zhu Changwu was really tired. Since he came to the capital, he had slept for more than three hours only one day, and had almost no rest at other times. The previous solo attack on Li Zicheng's main camp had exhausted almost all his energy. The capital finally became safe again. The sky was dark and the earth was dark when he fell asleep, and he still didn't wake up for twelve hours.
"Will the young master be okay?" Liang Jun came to the side of the carriage and gently opened the corner of the curtain. When he saw that the young master was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but ask.
One day and one night is really too long, so long that people have to worry.
"It doesn't matter, a doctor accompanying the army checked his pulse just now and said that the young master is in good health." Ji Jinkai said with a relaxed look.
"That's good, I've been very exhausted for a while. After returning to the capital, I should be able to have a good rest, haha." As a follower since childhood, Liang Jun only had Zhu Changwu in his eyes, and what he thought about all day long was Zhu Changwu. It's all about Zhu Changwu.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Ji Jinkai shook his head slightly when he thought that there were still Jiannu in the north watching him, and the Dashun army was only repulsed, not severely damaged.
"What's the trouble? We have to trust the young master. As long as the young master is here, we will kill all the enemies who come." Liang Jun, on the other hand, was extremely confident in his master. It feels as if as long as Zhu Changwu takes action, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved.
"Yes, yes." Hu Yunfeng, who was following from the side, immediately echoed. This second general was obviously always so persistent and confident in flattering Zhu Changwu.
"Okay, you two, let's wait until the young master wakes up to talk about some things." Ji Jinkai smiled and shook his head. During this period of contact, he also saw that Liang Jun and the two of them are the young master's absolute supporters. wholesale.
They are completely different from those who are flattering, submissive, groveling, and flattering.
The two of them only photographed Zhu Changwu, but when it came to others, they were very principled in their speech.
"Hehehe." Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng both smiled, looking somewhat mean-spirited.
"You have to wait until I wake up to say anything." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the carriage, followed by a tall figure walking out of the carriage, and then stretched for a long time.
The person who came out was Zhu Changwu. After sleeping for a day and a night, he became very energetic again and was even better than the previous two days. The only thing is that my arms are still a little sore, which is caused by holding the 171 pose for too long.
"Sir, you're awake." As soon as he saw Zhu Changwu appearing in front of him in high spirits and as if nothing had happened, Liang Jun immediately came over, holding a kettle in his hand.
He took the water from Liang Jun and took a big sip first. Then he took the dried meat from Hu Yunfeng and bit into it. Zhu Changwu, who was sitting on the carriage, asked, "How is the situation now?"
"General, everything went very smoothly. The intruders have withdrawn. According to reports from the dispatched scouts, they went straight to the direction of Taiyuan Prefecture..." Ji Jinkai began his report.
Zhu Changwu ate and listened, nodding his head from time to time. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Ji Jinkai recounted everything that had happened from last night to this afternoon.
After listening to the report and having a general understanding of the situation at hand, Zhu Changwu looked up at the sky. It was almost dusk. But now there are still fifteen miles away from the capital, so he simply said: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's inform the army to camp outside the city."
"Sir, if we hurry up, we can enter the city when it gets dark." Ji Jinkai reminded in a low voice.
After Zhu Changwu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes at Ji Jinkai and said: "Of course I know, but we are a triumphant army this time, and of course we have to be glorious when we return to the city. What's the point of entering the city in the dark? Okay, let's do it like this. Well, you said before that we also captured some grain and gold and silver in this battle, so take them all out and we will have a dinner outside the city tonight, and at the same time we will have a celebration party as well."
Zhu Changwu knew very well that after winning a big victory this time, once he returned to the capital, there would be many things waiting for him to deal with.
Apart from anything else, things at the institute must be put on the agenda.
When we fight wars, we often fight for money, the national economy, and our heritage.
If the rear is unstable and the soldiers can't even eat, how can you win the battle with your fingers?
"Oh, I'll go deliver the order now." After hearing this, Ji Jinkai nodded immediately and rode away.
Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng stayed. Zhu Changwu looked at them and asked, "Do you have any requests or plans?"
"Ah, young master, what do you mean?" Hu Yunfeng was stunned when he heard this, showing a naive expression.
Liang Jun, on the other hand, was obviously more nimble. He rolled his eyes and said, "Master, do you want to reward us?"
"Well, it's not that I want to reward you, but His Majesty will reward you. Tell me, if you have any requests, as long as they are not too excessive, I will try my best to satisfy you." Zhu Changwu nodded. These two people are his absolute loyalists. Now that he has gained the upper hand, of course he must give them more power.
The so-called three gangs of heroes. Although Zhu Changwu is not afraid of the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty, he can't do everything himself. He always needs someone to rush to the front to take care of things and speak for him.
After understanding what Zhu Changwu meant, Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng laughed again, and then it was the junior brother who spoke first: "Sir, I want to be a general. Is that okay?"
"No problem. After I get back, I will tell His Majesty that you will be the commander-in-chief of the Five Armies in the capital after you rebuild the Five Armed Forces Commander's Mansion." Zhu Changwu nodded without hesitation for a moment.
The defense of the capital must be in one's own hands. Only when the capital is stable can many things be done more smoothly. Then the leader in this position must be one of his own. Since Hu Yunfeng intended to develop in this area, he fulfilled his wish.
"Thank you, senior brother." Hu Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face.
