When the ministers rushed into the palace, Zhao Min was having lunch.
His body was recovering well. Under the care of the imperial physician, he gradually regained his strength and gradually regained his appetite. His previous state of being unwilling to eat was gone and he regained his good appetite.
When the illness first passed, I only had porridge and side dishes all day long, and I couldn't eat anything. After my body recovered a little, my appetite increased greatly, and I started to eat all kinds of delicacies, and I ate a lot.
When the ministers broke into the palace, Zhao Min was eating black-bone chicken and chicken rice to replenish his health.
This is carefully prepared by the chefs in the palace. The seasoned rice is stuffed into the belly of the marinated black-bone chicken and simmered together with the black-bone chicken. When the chicken is cooked, the rice can be eaten and is full of the delicious flavor of the black-bone chicken. The taste fully absorbs the essence of chicken and is rich in nutrients, which is very suitable for Zhao Min's appetite.
Zhao Yan is increasingly becoming a gourmand.
After eating a whole black-bone chicken, all the chicken rice, and even the soup, Zhao Min, who had a huge appetite, felt that his stomach was full and he was in a good mood.
As a result, he heard a commotion outside, and he immediately sent someone to see it. Then he learned that the officials escorting Chen Kangbo were all kneeling outside his palace and crying loudly.
Zhao Hao was shocked and asked the reason quickly. After asking, he learned that the battle to rescue Xiangfan hosted by the Privy Council had been defeated. Li Xianzhong died in the battle, and the entire 80,000-strong army was wiped out. The Ming army continued to attack Xiangfan, and Xiangfan was in danger.
The Southern Song Dynasty had lost almost all of its strategic mobile troops, lost the ability to take the initiative, and was about to enter a passive phase of being beaten, and this phase was obviously not much better than the situation Zhao Gou faced when he went south.
Well, it's almost the same, and even a little more dangerous.
Because although the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was also in danger at that time, the land of Xiangfan was still saved, and there were strategists like Yue Fei who could launch counterattacks who could suppress the Jin army.
But this time, how long the land of Xiangfan can be preserved is a very serious question. More importantly, the Southern Song Dynasty has no more troops to go to support Xiangfan again. .
Once Xiangfan is lost, the Ming army can directly threaten Jiangnan if it flows down the river. Lin'an can be said to be within the range of the Ming army's front.
The last time 60,000 Ming troops massacred all parties from Jiangbei to Lin'an, surrounded Lin'an and forced him to sign an alliance under the city, he was still fresh in his memory. The experience at that time was constantly playing in Zhao Min's mind.
And now, will something like this happen again?
Of course, Zhao Min couldn't think about that much anymore. His body shook and he almost fell to the ground. It was all thanks to the quick eyesight and hands of the eunuch beside him that he quickly caught Zhao Min and prevented him from falling.
Zhao Hao felt dizzy and angry, and almost fainted from anger. However, perhaps the prescription for concentration and calmness prescribed by the imperial doctor that he had taken before had an effect. Miraculously, Zhao Hao did not become overly emotional and angry at this time. Gongxin fell down again.
He actually stabilized!
Oh my god, I can’t believe it, it’s a miracle!
But thinking about it, Zhao Xin's heart should be more hopeful that he can be unstable, so that he doesn't have to face the ministers who cry and make noise like a baby and can't come up with any solution to the problem.
The ministers cried and begged the emperor to severely punish the ministers of the Privy Council, severely punish the six-person team that was in charge when the emperor was resting, pull out all these bastards who harmed the country and the people, and punished them severely. People cannot be angry.
But the question is, will the problem be solved if we deal with them?
What do these guys want to do?
Isn't it time to discuss how to resolve the crisis?
But in the final analysis, the disposal is indeed a disposal.
When he could not handle government affairs, he entrusted the government affairs to a six-member team headed by Chen Kangbo with great trust and expectation. However, Chen Kangbo betrayed his trust and messed up the matter.
Seeing Chen Kangbo who was pushed forward by the ministers and was in a state of despair, Zhao Min could not control his anger.
"I have so much trust in you. I handed over the military and political power to you, appointed you as the Pingzhang Army and State Affairs Bureau, and gave you such great power and trust. How did you repay me? Chen Kangbo, I didn't pay attention for a moment. Song Jiangshan almost died in your hands!!!"
Valley embroidery
Zhao Yan roared for a while and issued orders.
Chen Kangbo was revoked from all positions, honors, and titles, and all benefits were eliminated. He was jailed and threatened with death, his home was ransacked, and his family members were all prepared to be distributed.
Chen Kangbo, who had been in power for more than a month, came to his end.
Not to mention this, the ministers continued to join the privy envoys Yu Yunwen and Hu Quan, thinking that they were also bad actors. Although they were not as responsible as Chen Kangbo, they must be severely punished.
This was not enough. The other ministers also joined in the performance. The other three in the six-person group, Ye Yiwen, Shen Gai, and Zhou Linzhi, the highest decision-making group of the Southern Song Dynasty. None of them would be spared. They all had to be liquidated. Without liquidation, there would be no recovery. The crisis situation of the Song Dynasty.
This is the attitude of the ministers.
Ye Yiwen, Shen Gai and Zhou Linzhi, who looked panicked, knelt in front of Zhao Hao and did not dare to move.
This situation is obviously out of control.
Faced with the menacing attack of the officials, Zhao Xun certainly knew that he wanted to punish those who harmed the country and the people, but his growing sense of panic still prompted him to ask the officials.
"If we deal with them, we can definitely punish them, but what should we do if the country is in crisis? What should we do with Xiangfan? What should the Ming army do?"
Zhao Hao asked the officials three times. They looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, an old bureaucrat with a gray beard stood up and spoke to Zhao Hao.
"The country is facing a dangerous and difficult situation because there are traitors who are causing trouble around your majesty. As long as your majesty can punish the traitors and appoint virtuous people, you can naturally restore the situation. If the traitors are not eliminated, the country will not be stable for a day, and the crisis will not be stable for a day. Save.”
Seeing this old guy's conclusive words, Zhao Min felt inexplicable sadness and anger in his heart.
"Since you said I should do this, then I will appoint you as Privy Councilor to solve the Xiangfan problem within three months. Is it possible for you to do it?"
The old guy was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a long time.
Everyone wants power, but it's hard to say whether it can accomplish things.
If this were a normal time of year, the old guy would be happy to death, but at this moment, the enemy is really facing us, and he might really kill people. None of the old bureaucrats who are always good at protecting themselves wisely are not clear-headed. .
So he finally declined.
"The veteran is old and not good at military affairs. He doesn't know what to do and he doesn't dare to harm the country. Please forgive me."
Zhao Min was even more sad and angry.
"Then who can tell me how to solve this matter? How can Xiangfan be saved?"
The ministers who were so angry just now were speechless. Look at me and I look at you. No one dares to be the first to challenge the emperor.
The enemy is really over there and has made suggestions. If they are implemented but defeated, they will die.
At this time, being wise and protecting yourself is the most important thing.
So they were speechless and pretended to be bastards together. Zhao Xin was so angry that he almost fainted.
With no other choice, Zhao He could only repel the ministers and force them to get out of his palace. Then he sent people to summon the injured Yu Yunwen and Hu Quan, leaving behind Chen Junqing, the Minister of War, Wang Shipeng, the Minister of Industry, and Wang Shipeng, the Minister of Rites. Shang Shu Wang Dabao.
After this turmoil, the six-member team was abolished, and Chen Kangbo was also abolished. However, Zhao Hao did not listen to the bastard words of those gossip officials and did not abolish the others.
Taking down Chen Kangbo is a preliminary explanation. What to do next requires experienced and capable people to work together.
If the remaining five people are also killed, who will discuss military and national affairs with him?
