In the past two years, almost every general present has clearly seen the overt and covert struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor. It can be said that a contest of this level is not something they can interfere with, at least in this situation. They did not dare to get involved until the situation was clear.
However, the reputation of His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, whether in court or in opposition, in the eyes of ministers or in the minds of the people of Ming Dynasty, was far superior to that of the emperor Zhu Qiyu. Thousands of miles away.[..com]
Comparing Zhu Qiyu's actions with those of Zhu Qizhen, people always feel that Zhu Qiyu's actions are ridiculous, hateful, and even annoying. They have no trace of the dignity of a human being or the demeanor of an emperor.
Coupled with the secret planning of thoughtful people, in a word, in the past two years, Zhu Qizhen's appearance rate has been far higher than that of Zhu Qiyu, who spends his days playing with women in the harem.
Moreover, Zhu Qizhen has been working hard to build his reputation in the past two years. Well, he is the kind whose reputation value is already full, and he is devoted to the country and the great and glorious image of the Ming Dynasty. It has also infiltrated into the hearts of every citizen of the Ming Empire.
This is also an important reason why these border town soldiers dared to send troops into the grassland despite the strict orders of the emperor. They knew very well that what Zhu Qizhen was doing was for the future of the Ming Dynasty, not just for himself.
Of course, it cannot be said that these generals have no feelings at all. In fact, when Zhu Qizhen sent people over to persuade them, it can be said that they could more or less vaguely guess something, but no one could I don't have the courage to think deeply.
However, what Zhu Qizhen said just now made them suddenly wake up. They wanted to make his son king. If Zhu Qizhen could not regain the imperial power, how could he achieve his goal?
In a word, Zhu Qizhen has now clearly told everyone that his Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, is no longer satisfied with the status quo and has decided to regain the positions and rights that originally belonged to him.
After the shock, there was deathly silence. The dozens of people in the big tent seemed to have stopped breathing, but their hearts were racing, and the expressions on their faces were also uncertain.
one………
Zhu Qizhen still looked calm and calm, drinking the hot tea leisurely and slowly lifting the tea leaves floating on the water with the tea lid. However, looking at these generals whose expressions were indescribably complicated, his He was also not at ease in his heart. After all, whether he could return to the capital and ascend to the throne as the Emperor of Heaven again depended on these guys.
There is a saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This saying has been used in ancient and modern times, especially in ancient times. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the safety of the northern border has been the top priority. Most of the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have gathered here. .
Now, after experiencing the defeat of Tumubao two years ago and the capital being trapped, the Ming Dynasty did not dare to relax and continued to increase its investment in the border towns in the northern border. This made the border towns of the Ming Dynasty more and more powerful.
And Zhu Qizhen took the opportunity of gathering the army on the grassland to express his intention to return to Dabao. This was already very naked. Luoluo was declaring his ambitions and goals to everyone present, and it was not just about calming down the enemy. It’s so easy to get rid of the grassland troubles.
Now, the only thing I worry about is whether these generals can accept it, or in other words, are willing to follow him and be his help.
At this time, Sun Tao, the commander of Liaodong Zhenguang Ning Guard, stood up first and prostrated himself on the ground. "I am reporting this to His Majesty the Emperor, but I think it is inappropriate."
"Commander Sun." Upon hearing this, Cao Yi couldn't help but change his face and shouted quickly in a low voice.
Zhu Qizhen, on the other hand, waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that Cao Yi didn't need to say anything. He stared at Sun Luo, who was prostrate on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "If you think there is anything wrong with you, please tell me directly."
"Then please forgive me for being presumptuous." Sun Luo gritted his teeth and raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Qizhen. "Your Majesty, I believe that the affairs of the Tibetan country are not trivial, and who should be appointed as the leader of Tibet also needs to be determined.
Only when you report to the court and understand the emperor can you act."
"If His Majesty the Emperor decides with one word, I am afraid that the court and the emperor will be suspicious of His Majesty. Therefore, I, I..."
After hearing Sun Luo's words, Sun Zhirui couldn't help but frown. He was about to stride out to refute his words, but when he saw the look in Zhu Qizhen's direction, he could only hold back.
"What you say is indeed reasonable. Yes, if I do this, I will be jealous of the court or, in other words, my good brother, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen sighed softly, and his voice suddenly rose.
: "But in the Sun Qing family, have you ever thought about when have I not been suspected by my good brother since the Northern Hunting?!"
"Before I was trapped in Wa Ci, I had already decided to leave my country. Therefore, I issued an edict to pass on the throne. I hope that my second brother can take up the responsibility that I have not fulfilled, so that our Ming Dynasty will not be threatened by Wa Ci.
Fight the enemy calmly."
"But what did he do? I have been determined to die since I was captured. I am dedicated to the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to die to destroy the morale of the Ming army and the people. And then, on that grassland, in order to atone for my previous sins.
, circulating among the distinguished nobles of the grassland, enduring humiliation and seeking perfection, and finally enabled thousands of soldiers of our Ming Dynasty to escape from prison and return home."
"And what did Tianzi do today?"
"I was trapped in the grassland, did he ever think of taking me back to my homeland? I went through all kinds of dangers and returned to the south alone, but he ignored the advice of the courtiers and ignored the etiquette and dignity." Zhu Qizhen's voice became colder and colder.
, like frost.
The generals could not help but remain silent as they listened to Zhu Qizhen's repeated accusations. But Zhu Qizhen still had more to say. Yes, he had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, or in other words, he had endured it for too long.
"...I have already written a blood edict and subordinated the throne to Zhu Qiyu, which has shown that I have no intention of fighting anymore, but what did he do?! He actually wanted to kill the prince with poison, just because the prince is my legitimate son, and
If it weren't for his blood, wouldn't it be possible for a human being to do such heinous and ugly things?"
"...Now, I have finally made plans to make this prairie collapse and disintegrate. It is a great opportunity for Ming Dynasty to regain the northern frontier. But what he did, he kept obstructing it overtly and secretly. I am doing it for the Ming Dynasty.
Sheji is for the common people of Ming Dynasty, and he is actually obstructing it?"
"Why doesn't he mow his conscience and listen to the voices of the Ming Dynasty's ruling and opposition parties? Since he came to the throne, what has he done to benefit the Ming Dynasty? What deeds has he done that are praised by the ruling and opposition parties?"
Sun*'s forehead was pressed tightly against the ground at this moment, and he was speechless. In other words, Zhu Qizhen's words really left him unable to refute.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions and stared at Sun* who was still prostrate on the ground. His slightly hoarse voice revealed indescribable fatigue: "Sun Qing's family, I want to ask
Is what you are doing today what a human king should do? Is it what an emperor of the Ming Dynasty should do?"
"...Your Majesty, what I did today is indeed unbecoming of a human king." Sun Can raised his head and kowtowed heavily. This sentence also made everyone in the tent agree with it in their hearts. It was indeed consistent with
Compared with today's emperor, this overlord can be said to be too unorthodox.
,
"If Your Majesty implements this policy, then our Ming Dynasty will no longer be in trouble on the grassland. Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, Jiang Fu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, was the first to grit his teeth and stand up. He bowed respectfully to the ground and said a few words.
Immediately, Sun Zhirui, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou Town, also stood up and prostrated himself in front of Zhu Qizhen's case. At this time, Yang Jun and Shi Biao made eye contact again, and the two of them strode out and knelt on the ground.
Seeing Shi Biao like this, Shi Heng, whose face was as dark as water and silent all the time, couldn't help but sigh in his heart and stood up, bowing to Zhu Qizhen. "Your Majesty, Holy Ming...
The generals and generals who had doubts at first saw this scene and knew that they had to express their opinions now. You must know that in terms of military strength, the border towns of the Ming Dynasty were dominated by Jizhou and Xuanfu.
Under Zhu Qiyu's deliberate imposition, the military strength of Datong Town was no less than that of Jizhou and Xuanfu.
And these three towns together, compared to the other towns, have a far upper hand in terms of military strength alone, and more importantly, these three towns happen to guard the capital. It can be said that the total number of soldiers in these three towns is
This attitude has already implicitly determined the direction of Ming Dynasty tomorrow.
One by one, the generals and generals left their seats and bowed down in the tent. Zhu Qizhen straightened his back and sat solemnly. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Looking at Jiang Fu who was the first to jump out and express his attitude, Zhu Qizhen really felt like he was laughing or crying.
This guy is really an authentic and typical wallflower. His thoughts are on his side in front of him, but outside, as soon as he received the imperial edict from his good brother Zhu Qiyu, he immediately wavered, and this
Huizi, but he jumped out and jumped faster than Sun Zhirui. It can't be said that his ability to adapt to the wind has been greatly improved, but this also has advantages.
As soon as the three important town commanders fell, the others naturally turned their backs. Although it was just a statement, it did not represent their true inner thoughts, but at least, on the surface, they had switched sides to their side. As long as
If I could exert a little more force, I would be sure to make them appear and behave as one.
Zhu Qizhen strode forward and solemnly helped all the soldiers and generals who had prostrated themselves to the ground. He returned to the case and looked at the faces and the helmets and belts.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, thinking about the hundreds of thousands of Ming Dynasty soldiers on the grassland outside the big tent, and the golden family that was about to become history.
The sword beside him slowly drew out its scabbard...
Zhu Qizhen looked at the sword he was holding tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, and gently touched the bright sword body with the fingers of his left hand, feeling the cold and cold force. , there was a sense of pride in his voice that would not allow anyone to object. "When I first passed the message to Zhu Qiyu, I hoped that he could make the Ming Dynasty strong again, so that those enemies who dared to bare their fangs at my Ming Dynasty in the past would be defeated one by one. flat.
But what he did after he ascended the throne was to do nothing but serve his own interests, and that was fine. But he actually wanted to kill me and my children. What makes me even more sad is that... In the face of such a great situation, he ignored the safety of the Ming Empire and the peace of the people. He only had self-interest in his heart, not the world.
It really disappoints me. Zhu Qiyu's position as emperor was given to him by me. Since he does not have the ability, I am qualified to take it back. "When he said this, Zhu Qi Zhenying raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. His eyes swept over the generals present, and his voice became as cold as the sword in his hand. "You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. Today, you are willing to follow me, and I feel very relieved. You will live up to me, I , I will live up to you. I am willing to swear an oath with you, if anyone dares to violate today's agreement, there will be such a case." Before he finished speaking, he cut down with a sword, and a cold light flashed like a sword, and the heavy wood During the case, a large piece of the table corner was chopped off by Zhu Qizhen's brute force.
Looking at the neatly cut corner of the table, and seeing Zhu Qizhen's solemn face filled with murderous intent, all the generals couldn't help but awed and bowed to the tent again. They made an oath facing Zhu Qizhen.
A smile finally appeared on Zhu Qizhen's face, and his expression was as bright as the hidden dragon about to soar into the sky. "Don't worry, dear friends, I will not let you down. What I want to do is to create an unprecedented prosperous Ming Dynasty. , and you, the soldiers of the Ming Empire, will become the sharpest swords in my hands, leaving the most profound mark on that painting for future generations."
"I swear to follow your Majesty to the death, long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!" I don't know who was the first to roar, and then dozens of generals in the big tent all shouted in unison, the voice was loud, It was so powerful and violent that even the curtains of the big tent could not help but roll up and fly.
And the sound also passed through the tent, spread out of the big tent, echoed in the air around the big tent, and reached the ears of the Ming soldiers around the big tent. And when they heard the sound coming from the tent, Qian Zhong, who had been holding the handle of the knife tightly at his waist, with a serious expression that could even be said to be nervous, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After looking at each other with Qian Ning, he couldn't help but smile with relief...!
