Zhang Yan immediately went to the meeting hall after hearing the news.
Yuen Niang and others let people hold lamps, and the hall was as bright as day.
More than a hundred officials entered and all knelt down!
"Long live the empress! Long live! Long live!"
The sound was neat and loud, shaking the candlelight in the hall!
Zuo Guangdou said: "Madam, where is Marquis Zhongyi? The Marquis has assisted your Majesty in making such great achievements. I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
All the ministers nodded.
Zhang Yan said calmly: "After Marquis Zhongyi came back, he immediately summoned Wei Zhongxian and others to discuss the matter of welcoming back the Holy Emperor. This matter is related to the safety of His Majesty, and I cannot disturb Marquis Zhongyi. However, in my heart, Like all the ministers, I also want to say thank you to Marquis Zhongyi!"
"Marquis Zhongyi traveled all the way. After returning to the capital, he didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he devoted himself to welcoming him. I was deeply moved and couldn't bear to disturb him anymore. I hope you will assist me with all your heart before your majesty returns. The palace can also make Marquis Zhongyi feel at ease!"
Everyone was shocked!
At the same time, he was infected by Huang Xiao's loyalty and patriotism!
Zuo Guangdou knelt down and said loudly: "Zhongyi Hou is truly a wise minister through the ages! We will definitely follow his example, sir, and fully support the empress in her governance!"
Yang Lian also knelt down and said loudly: "Welcoming the Holy Master back is what the people of the world are looking forward to! Don't worry, I will help you with all my strength! No one is allowed to disturb Marquis Zhongyi!"
Li Banghua, Ling Yiqu, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and other ministers expressed their opinions one after another.
Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty and Marquis Zhongyi signed the Zhangjiakou Treaty between Zhangjiakou and Jurchen, Mongolia. Can you let me see the whole picture?"
Zhang Yan said calmly: "That's right. I originally wanted to announce this matter at the court tomorrow morning. Anyway, let's discuss it today and cancel it at the court tomorrow morning. Send the treaty to Li Cifu and read it out in court!"
Huang Ling, who was waiting personally, immediately handed the contract to Li Banghua.
Li Banghua straightened his appearance and took it respectfully with both hands.
All the ministers looked at Li Banghua excitedly.
Li Banghua cleared his throat.
"..."
Read along with the content of Li Banghua's article.
There was a sensation in the hall!
Li Banghua was also so excited that his voice became louder and louder!
After reading it, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground!
Many ministers couldn't help but burst into tears and shed tears on the spot!
The slave chief bound himself to Beijing!
All the land in Liaodong was recovered!
The entire Jurchen clan surrendered and all assets were confiscated! Women and children were guarded and housed by soldiers and horses designated by the Ming Dynasty! Zhan Dingdai committed meritorious service!
Everyone couldn’t believe their ears!
This way. Jianu can never make waves again!
…
Mongolian ministries compensated the Ming Dynasty with 100,000 cattle and sheep each, and 10 million taels of silver!
From now on, no more sins will be allowed!
Both the Mongols and the Jurchens use Chinese as their official pronunciation!
This is the work of enlightenment!
Wonderful!
All the ministers listened as if they were drinking fine wine, and they were so mesmerized that they exclaimed in admiration from time to time!
When I was excited, I couldn't help but cheer loudly!
I don't even care about your disgrace at all!
Wait until Li Banghua finishes reading!
He held the treaty in both hands and knelt on the spot!
The ministers also knelt on the ground!
"Long live! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the empress!"
The ministers shouted at the top of their lungs!
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely high!
There are thousands of emotions in my chest and thousands of words in my mouth!
In the end, it all turned into these shouts!
"Everyone is safe!"
The ministers stood up.
Li Banghua, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, please tell me how to seize the Jurchen assets, resettle women and children, and even regain their homeland."
Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the slave chief has brought himself to Beijing to educate the two tribes. It is the unshirkable duty of our Ministry of Rites! Please entrust this matter to our Ministry of Rites!"
Shao Fuzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Empress, please collect the Jurchen assets and let me, the Ministry of Revenue, step in to replenish the national treasury!"
Gu Bingqian, the first assistant, said: "Your Majesty, I am the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and I should regain my homeland on behalf of the emperor! Please do it for me!"
…
This is a good opportunity to leave a name for the ages. It can be said that it is easily available. Many ministers have asked to take part of it.
Zhang Yan smiled lightly and said: "I have already made a decision on this matter."
All the officials were silent.
Zhang Yan said: "Order the two imperial armies to recover their homeland nearby. The Cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple will send people to verify the assets and take back the state-owned assets!"
"Order, the entire Jurchen clan in Jianzhou will move to Dahuang Village and set up a farm to settle down. This matter will be arranged by the manager of Dahuang Village!"
"Now that the treaty has been signed, I hope that you and others will put national affairs first and not discriminate against or abuse the Jurchen people, nor lose the dignity of our great country. The Jurchen soldiers temporarily order them to live in Jianzhou Guard."
Zhang Yan said: "As for the follow-up arrangements, I have other secret orders."
The ministers received the order.
As for matters such as Xuanfu Textile Factory and even stocks, they were not within the scope of the court discussion.
After deliberating for a while, the ministers retired.
Zhang Yan asked Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Li Banghua, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, and Shi Kefa to stay, and recruited Liu Lin.
"Shi Kefa, regarding the stock issue, we will also focus on publicity tomorrow! As for the Zhangjiakou Treaty, we can selectively publish it and announce it to the world!"
Shi Kefa took the order and went.
"Sister-in-law Liu, please cooperate well with the management of Dahuang Village, choose the address, and settle the Jurchen tribe. Let them feel the warmth of the Ming Dynasty and the enthusiasm of Dahuang Village, and gradually educate them."
Mrs. Liu Lin said loudly: "Don't worry, Madam, I have experience and I promise to make them obedient!"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, nodded, and talked to smart people. She understood what was said and felt much more relaxed.
Liu Lin and Yueniang also went.
"Li Shangshu, the two censors, Mr. Wang and Mr. Song, this is a secret agreement attached to the Zhangjiakou Treaty. Please wait and see."
All four of them were shocked.
Yang Lian stepped forward to take it.
When I saw it, my eyes suddenly widened!
This...the content of this secret agreement is simply too shocking!
Goryeo wants to be part of the Ming Dynasty!
Russia will also be included in the Ming Dynasty!
The Jurchen and Mongolian tribes purchased the Ming Dynasty’s weapons and fought against Russia for the Ming Dynasty!
Promise a continent overseas to the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes!
…
This item was beyond Yang Lian's expectation!
Zuo Guangdou was also shocked after seeing it.
The same goes for Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing!
Yang Lian said: "My dear, Goryeo has always been a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, why must we destroy it!"
Zuo Guangdou said: "Madam, although the Marquis has said something about this, I have doubts like Yang Yushi. These sharp weapons of the country are sold to the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes. If they get my Ming Dynasty's firearms, It’s beneficial, but I’m afraid it will be detrimental to our Ming Dynasty!”
Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, Nanfangbuzhou has a vast territory and rich resources. It covers such a large area. I have obtained the geography book written by the Marquis and I know that this state is extremely rich in gold, silver, iron, coal and other mineral deposits. It is a great resource for the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes." Isn’t that too much?”
Wang Zheng said: "My dear, looking at the world map, Russia is a big country in the world. Is it inappropriate to start the war lightly?"
Li Banghua said: "Although Russia is not weak, your Majesty has new armies trained in various places, and our Ming Dynasty also has millions of soldiers. Why not let our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty accomplish this great feat?"
