He couldn't beat a group fight in a single fight. Even though Emperor Chongzhen's throat was about to smoke, the ministers had just entered the state and were fighting one after another. As a last resort, Emperor Chongzhen directly used his trump card: to withdraw from the court!
After retiring from the imperial court, he did not return to Qianqing Palace. Instead, he called Li Banghua and several other big men to Wenyuan Pavilion and asked them face to face, "What do you mean? What do you mean?" Even if the donkey is killed, the rabbit is dead, and the dog is cooked. You have to wait until the mill is unloaded. The rabbit must be dead. Are you too impatient, and you didn't even say hello to me beforehand, so I asked you what you mean!
Several people in Li Banghua refused to admit that they were involved in this matter even after being beaten to death. We spread our hands and we didn't know it beforehand. It can be seen that these courtiers have been grudges for more than a day or two. Now the emperor has to give them an explanation. Calm down the situation.
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen almost jumped up and banged the table, asking him to explain, who should I answer to when I come out?
Emperor Chongzhen was not stupid at all. He knew very well that the ministers seemed to be coming for Chang Yu, but in fact they were coming for him. To put it bluntly, they were coming for the imperial power!
Repeat the same old tune!
They want to limit the imperial power and compete with the emperor for power!
Since ancient times, emperors of all dynasties and their leadership groups have been fighting openly and secretly over power issues. When Lao Zhu founded the country, he felt that imperial power was too restricted, so he abolished the prime minister system.
But without the prime minister and secretary, the workload is too great, and if you have to make your own decisions on everything, you will become a dictator with one word, so a cabinet system was created.
It's just that changing the soup does not change the medicine. Not all emperors are as awesome as Lao Zhu in coaxing and coaxing his subordinates into obedience. Later, the civil service group represented by the cabinet really left several emperors empty-handed. .
But you can't say that the cabinet system is not good. Although they fight for power, they do things. Otherwise, you would think that like Zhengde and Wanli, who were in power for several years or more, how could the country not collapse? Even many historians in later generations think Fortunately, Zhengde and Wanli did not fall in love with the court, so the country was governed in an orderly manner.
But some emperors didn't think so. Who the hell wanted to be a puppet emperor, so the eunuch group appeared to fight against the civil servant group.
It's just that the simple Emperor Chongzhen got rid of Wei Zhongxian as soon as he came to power, and then he fell into the control of the civil servant group, and it was useless no matter how hard he struggled.
Until Chang Yu came out of the sky and consolidated his imperial power bit by bit, giving him the confidence and courage to say no!
But this was quite unaccustomed to the civil service group that had been arrogant for more than ten years. But when the country was facing a crisis and war was the top priority, they secretly gathered their strength and suddenly exploded.
during this brief period of peace.
It's just that this struggle for power cannot be made openly. It has to be found for a reason, so Chang Yu was involved.
Internal and external troubles are not yet clean, so you are impatient, which is actually irritating!
"Your Majesty, you know that it is not a big loss. Now, among all the generals in charge of the army, no matter whether they are the commander-in-chief or the princes and nobles, he is not the leader. When his wings mature, your Majesty will not be able to unload the donkey even if he wants to!"
But he is just a eunuch!
In the past dynasties, most of the people who brought disaster to the country and the people were eunuchs, let alone a great eunuch who was in charge of military power...
But the world is not at peace!
But what we want is not to kill donkeys and cook dogs, but to impose appropriate restrictions. Can’t the emperor see that the generals who are leading troops outside and the generals who are stationed are all attached to him.
The meaning is very clear. We are not saying that we are going to kill him, nor are we saying that he will not be allowed to lead troops to fight, but we have to put some of our people in and restrict his rights. In other words, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion It can no longer be used as a decoration.
The reason why he was able to turn the tide and be invincible was because there were no constraints, and now you are... not afraid of making big mistakes!
This moment, that moment, now that Li Chuang has surrendered and the Tatars are in civil strife, the only thing to worry about is the traitors in Sichuan... Why not take advantage of this moment to gradually reduce power...
Shameless, Chang Yu has been away for many years either leading troops to fight or putting out fires or preparing food and wages. He is always worried about the country and the people. But you are in a high position. You don't think about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country every day, but you are always scheming to fight for power and fame. It is really shameful. !
Emperor Gu Chongzhen said nothing but walked away.
Both the heads-offs were outnumbered, which made Emperor Chongzhen very angry. When he returned to Qianqing Palace, he summoned Chunxiang into the palace and asked him if he had any dirty information about those courtiers. If you want to play, I will play with you!
Damn it, you guys really know how to choose the right time. If Chang Yu is in Beijing, he can’t kill you, but you still have the guts...
Where did this kid go? But even Chunxiang didn't know. He said he was assassinated in Xiaogan and then left! Even the dead soldier Xuanwu has no news.
Good guy, Emperor Chongzhen is distressed and worried.
I feel sorry for Chang Yu who worked so hard for Da Ming and his old Zhu family, but both the black and white gangs want to mess with him, the white gang wants to kill him, and the gangster gang wants to kill others.
As for what I'm worried about, this guy won't suddenly just walk away.
"Your Majesty, Li Yan has arrived in Jinan." Chunxiang suddenly mentioned, and Emperor Chongzhen said oh first. Governor Li Yan had made outstanding achievements in the Yellow River defense line for more than half a year. There was a vacancy in the Shandong general army, so he asked him to fill it, and Li Chuang After the peace talks, he ordered his troops to return to Jinan for rest.
The fierce Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up: "If I remember correctly, has Li Yan entered Beijing recently?"
Wang Chengen, who was next to him, said quickly: "Your Majesty, I remember correctly."
A smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Chongzhen's lips: "I haven't seen Zhou Yuji and Tang Tong for a while, so I ordered them to come to Beijing. I want to ask about the military affairs of Taiyuan and Jizhen."
Humph, you're just trying to make fun of me, right? If I can't beat you in a one-on-one fight, then I'll get two nobles with military power from the two pillar countries to fight with you!
If nothing else works, the two princes will also be dragged into the water. Emperor Chongzhen knows who the shareholders of Daming Bank are. Those people and Chang Yu are all in the same boat, and they are both prosperous!
bring it on! Let Tumo Xingzi be more violent!
Come on, Chang Yu has done so many things for Lao Zhu's family, I'm here to protect him this time!
Of course, to protect him is to protect yourself!
"By the way, can Li Chuang's cheap son come to Beijing?" Chongzhen suddenly thought of this. Li Zicheng surrendered and was made a prince. He wanted to go to the capital to thank him, but he had entered the capital before he was made king according to the agreement. To put it bluntly, he didn't dare to come, so He asked his son Li Guo to come to Beijing to express his gratitude. It had been a month since the surrender, but there was still no movement.
Chunxiang shook his head: "Dongchang is paying close attention and has not seen him yet, but he will be targeted once he leaves Xi'an City."
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with this answer. Chunxiang said that once out of Xi'an rather than once across the Yellow River, it means that Dongchang's spies have penetrated into the surrounding area of Xi'an.
"Your Majesty, do you want to kill him?" Chunxiang asked casually, and Emperor Chongzhen glared at him.
Chunxiang immediately realized that he had asked something stupid!
At this juncture, if anything went wrong when Li Guo went to Beijing, the court would be labeled as ruining the situation.
Li Guo took his time before entering the capital. It was not that the new student was timid and delayed deliberately. On the contrary, he was looking forward to this trip to the capital and was even a little excited.
Just be fully prepared before you go to deal with various possible situations.
Moreover, he was not alone in his trip to Beijing this time. He was also accompanied by Tami Hidebe who had entered North Korea. There were too many matters involved, so he delayed it again and again, but it could not be delayed for long. After all, according to the agreement with the imperial court, Tami Hidebe The troops will be dispatched in one month. Logically speaking, this is already over the limit. It will not be good if we are urged to do it any longer.
