Chapter 132: The crisis of the country, take it as your body (guarantee
."Stupid! Short-sighted!" Zhu Qizhen picked up the tea cup, tried to put it to his mouth several times, then put it down, and shouted in a low voice: "Since Luo Aiqing frequently comes to the table, doesn't the court have no reaction at all?" ?”
"Reporting to the emperor, Governor Yang was originally here at this time. Governor Yang also knew the harm. He, a famous general from the border town with great prestige, was here to act harshly and lead by example. The eunuchs and other generals were all I didn't dare to go too far, and I was quite restrained in doing things. At that time, I was quite passable..." Having said this, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but paused and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen's expression did not change at all. "What about when General Jiang returned to the Xuan Mansion? Just tell the truth."
"Actually, General Jiang Hui has a gentle nature and has always been kind to others. In addition, when he first arrived in Xuanfu, he also needed help from all forces to calm the morale of the army..." Luo Hengxin considered his words and said carefully. But he didn't say much. Zhu Qizhen interrupted impatiently.
"Lao Ai Qing, Luo, it concerns millions of soldiers and civilians in the border towns of Xuanfu, and it also concerns the safety of our country, the Ming Dynasty. What I want to hear is the truth, do you understand?"
Luo Hengxin couldn't help but hesitated. For example, Yang Neng, who was kneeling behind him, snorted, and then replied in Zhu Qizhen's tone: "Your Majesty, General Jiang Hui is a smooth man, quite irresponsible in his work, and likes to be a good person. , he just ignored the military generals and eunuchs in the border towns who occupied privately cultivated fields, and he frequently accepted the lands given by those people."
"It's totally like collaborating with those eunuchs and shameless generals. It has only been a few months since we took possession of the Xuanfu. Its land in the Xuanfu already covers more than ten hectares. There are also outhouses in the Xuanfu. In fact, these things , His Majesty the Emperor will know if he only pays a little attention." Yang Neng looked straight at Zhu Qizhen, and the bamboo tube was like beans, telling all the misdeeds of General Jiang Da.
When he said the last few sentences, his tone was full of complaints. Speaking of which, it was impossible not to have any complaints about Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who had tricked them into taking advantage of them. And Yang Neng, who had an exposed temperament and straight to the gut, was naturally He said whatever he thought of and didn't pay attention to the frequent glances from Yang Xin beside him.
Zhu Qi Zhenli is not annoyed. After all, Zhu Qi Zhen also knows that these three people are having troubles in their hearts. Besides, he has even been a prisoner of war. This little anger is nothing. Let him vent. What's more, Zhu Qi Zhen He never thought that Jiang Fu would become so fat after just a few months in Xuanfu.
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. When Jiang Fu arrived in Xuanfu, the eunuchs and generals in border towns began to invade privately cultivated fields. I'm afraid it has become a common practice?" Zhu Qizhen gradually calmed down. At this time, It's useless to be angry anymore, it's better to think about how to deal with these guys when the time comes.
"Yes, since General Jiang Fu and Jiang Hui came to Xuanma, countless soldiers and civilians in the border towns have lost their land. Although the veteran minister tried hard to persuade him, General Jiang Hui always used the excuse that everything in the border town was ruined and the generals needed to work together. Veteran minister. He is an official who is close to the people, and military and political affairs are not under the jurisdiction of senior officials. Although he has been rebuked many times, he has had little effect."
Speaking of this, Luo Hengxin felt so sad that he almost shed tears together. Luo Hengxin, who had been in the border town for a long time, naturally knew the pain of the border town, but what he never expected was that the court would actually send someone to the border town. A guy like Jiang Fu came here to serve as a general soldier. His civil and military skills were not matched, and the work was extremely tiring. Luo Hengxin felt that if he continued to work like this, even if he was not exhausted, he would be annoyed to death by this situation.
"Unexpectedly, the situation in the border towns of Xuanfu is already so critical. However, Yu Qian, Wang Zhi and others in the court are officials of the country. Don't they understand that if the border towns are unsafe, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger?" Zhu Qizhen's His brows were furrowed, and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the desk.
Luo Hengxin couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Wang Shangshu and Yu Shangshu have also spoken out many times, but with little effect. After all, since the new emperor came to the throne, many things have happened. The capital and the northern border of the Ming Dynasty have been in turmoil. To appease the people's hearts, focus on Training the new army to defend Wu Jingshi is the top priority..."
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh, and said with a reluctant smile, "This happened all because of me. It's really my fault."
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. You have already helped our army and civilians in the Ming Dynasty border towns too much. Your Majesty is not blind and deaf. Your Majesty is trapped in the hands of the Tatars, but there is no time to seek compromise. Regardless of Rong Di Adding ax and body, remembering the safety of our Ming army and people, how can I turn a blind eye?" Seeing Zhu Qizhen's despondency, Wang returned to Jinchang and advised: "There are some things that your Majesty will not say, but I will wait. , as well as the civil and military power of the Ming Dynasty, the people all see it, how can they not know what is good and what is bad?"
"But if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake after all." Zhu Qizhen stood up, helped the four people up one by one, and walked slowly in the hall. "Although people are not saints, no one can make mistakes. But , there are some mistakes that really should not be made and cannot be made.”
"Now, I have finally escaped from the thieves and returned to the Ming Dynasty. I thought I could calm down and think about my past mistakes. But I didn't expect that my imperial brother would not want me to return." Zhu Qizhen said with a self-deprecating smile.
All four people were silent. This was an extremely obvious truth. I am afraid that no one in the world, except the blind man, could not see how unwelcome the Emperor Zhu Qizhen was when he returned to the capital.
"Now, I also heard what Luo Aiqing said, and I know that the situation in the border town is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, I intend to stay in the Xuanfu area. Although I cannot personally consult the government, my presence here can always be a deterrent. Xiaoxiao is a greedy person, please give Luo Aiqing a helping hand to restore our border town's fighting strength, so that our Xuanfu areas can rest and recuperate to defend against stubborn enemies."
Hearing this, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but his eyes shone, and his mind was spinning, thinking that if the emperor did not want to welcome the emperor back to the capital, then it would be inevitable for the emperor who cared about the people's livelihood and knew the sufferings of the border towns to stay in the Xuanfu land. able to be effective.
After all, he is the Supreme Emperor who has been the emperor for more than ten years, and his power is still there. With him here as a deterrent, he can indeed play a great role. Just look at the performance of the Xuanfu civil and military officials today. , the Supreme Emperor is really getting annoyed, these guys are like a group of mice that met an old cat.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since I don't want you to join the capital, why not stay in my Xuanfu?" Yang Neng, who was outspoken and outspoken, couldn't help but said happily.
At this time, Yang Xin, who had not spoken yet, could not help but nodded: "Yes, if the emperor can live here, it will be a blessing to the soldiers and people of our border town of Xuanfu."
"No one who has experienced the suffering of our border town can know it. Now your majesty knows that the danger of the border town is already a critical opportunity. If we don't deal with it, a big disaster will happen."
"If things continue like this, our border towns will have no soldiers to use, and our border towns will be weak, and our territory of the Ming Dynasty will be invaded by foreign invaders. I know that people are talking lightly, and I don't know when we can stop this evil deed. I hope your majesty will investigate clearly. , to honor the country, to repay the anger of the civilians, and to calm the morale of the army." Luo Hengxin gritted his teeth and bowed deeply again. "This important military and state matter has been ignored by the court. Now I know that only the emperor can handle it. If the emperor agrees, Old minister. Old minister, risking his life, sincerely asks the emperor to help our millions of soldiers and civilians in border towns to stay in Xuan Mansion.
"Lian Ye indeed has this intention.
However, I have now abdicated as the Supreme Emperor. Even if I have the intention to do this, if I act on my own will today, I am afraid that it will be like..." Zhu Qizhen saw this situation and the eager expectations in the eyes of these people, and he felt quite happy in his heart. , However, things are not that simple.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to stay in my Xuan Mansion for a long time, it is not impossible." Luo Hengxin rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and spoke to Zhu Qizhen.
"Oh, if Mr. Luo Aiqing has any good ideas, just tell me." Zhu Qizhen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the old minister who had stayed in the border town for not much shorter time than Yang Hong, and asked in a deep voice.
"As long as your majesty is willing to cooperate, the veteran can mobilize his subordinates to go to court. Furthermore, Governor Yang and the old minister Wang are all close friends with me, and they are ministers who care about the country. They can be two great helpers. .”
"In addition, Yu Qian, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, is a loyal man and has the country at heart. Today's emperor values him very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will obey his advice. If he can understand the power of this, at least he will not stand in the way."
Luo Hengxin's official return can be regarded as a spicy piece of old ginger. He is too lazy to use it when he is at a bad level. Today's behavior made Zhu Qizhen even more afraid to underestimate this seemingly An upright and loyal old guy. But what makes Zhu Qizhen gratified is that what this old guy does is the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the more capable such a talent is, the more delighted Zhu Qizhen will be with him. Such a capable minister.
"In addition, the four sons of Mr. Sun, the Marquis of Huichang, are all in key positions in the capital. They have extensive contacts and have many contacts with nobles in the military. They are also the biological father of the current Empress Dowager and your Majesty's grandfather. If you can inform me, With Lord Sun, we can unite with the Empress Dowager in the palace again, and we can be 90% sure of the big event."
Yang Xin also said with a look of approval: "My father has known that your majesty has extraordinary achievements. If your majesty can stay here to provide peace to all the countries, I am also willing to write a book for my father. I think my father will definitely help me."
Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over the people in the hall, and his heart was excited. These people were all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. They were also thinking about the safety of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty could only have such talents for more than two hundred years. Peace.
Zhu Qi Zhen straightened his clothes and bowed his head to the three people. "You have the heart to serve the country and the people. I am grateful to you and will do my best to help you."
Yuan Bin couldn't help but feel his eyes getting hot when he looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes became a little blurry as he looked at the pen and ink on the paper..."
