Chapter 58: Release the prisoner and return, the tide is surging
."The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country." Such heroic words and heroic words made countless scholars cry bitterly and feel deeply every time they mentioned it. When they heard about the defeat of Tumubao, everyone criticized the emperor for being fatuous.
The scene is almost the same, but now everyone is praising the emperor's move. As for the shame of Tumu Fort, it has gradually been forgotten by those scholars who are good at forgetfulness. Some students of Taixue even believe that the emperor's Northern Expedition
The tile thorns were imitated by the ancestors. However, there were treacherous officials and incompetent ministers, which led to this defeat. After all, after the defeat of Tumubao was reported to the capital, everyone in Wang Zhen's party immediately called for a beating, which became a standard
The culprit. Even if it is mentioned occasionally, it is to bring out the shocking behavior and words behind the emperor.
"The Kaiping Guard's Junzi Fort, Pine Tree Fort, Maying Fort, Wanquan Youwei's Xinhekou Fort, Ximalin Fort, Shangzhuang Fort, and even the Miyun Guard's Baima Pass, Gaojiabao and other garrison places are all there.
The soldiers, officials, and nobles who were captured due to the defeat of Tumubao..." Gao Gu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and in charge of the cabinet affairs, couldn't help but be speechless.
"This kind of news cannot be concealed." Wang Wen, the newly appointed cabinet member and Imperial Censor, said coldly with a sullen face.
On the side, the other cabinet members had different expressions, ranging from happy to worried. However, the one who felt the most aggrieved and angry among them was Wang Wen, who was single-handedly promoted to the cabinet by Zhu Qiyu.
More than two months ago, the performance of the Supreme Emperor in the first battle in Beijing was really eye-catching, and the performance of Emperor Jing, who had just succeeded to the throne, was indeed disappointing. However, Emperor Jing was his boss after all. If it hadn't been for him, he would have feared
Until the day you die, don't even think about reaching the sky like you are now.
"Of course we can't cover it up. If it spreads, how will the world view us?" Miao Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of War, also a new cabinet member, his gray brows twitched, and his voice remained calm. "The emperor can do such a righteous act, it is really a tribute to the emperor.
Blessing is also the blessing of my Ming Dynasty."
"Having said that, this matter must not be publicized from our mouths, otherwise, where will your majesty be?" Shang Ren couldn't help but shouted in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, it made everyone in the room feel their hearts skip a beat.
"Huh, it's just a cover-up. Do you think everyone in the world is so bad?" Miao Zhong couldn't help but have a look of ridicule on his face as he looked at the group of colleagues who filed in and rushed to the emperor to report the news.
Gao Gu, who was behind Miao Zhongluo, couldn't help but turn pale. He leaned close to the old man and whispered, "Sir, please be careful. In matters related to the Heavenly Family, we are just doing our best and obeying fate."
"He and Miao Zhong were both veteran ministers who had joined the cabinet when Yingzong was still alive, so naturally they wanted to side with Zhu Qizhen more in their hearts.
However, when Emperor Jing came to power, their right to speak also plummeted. If it weren't for the fear of instability in the government, Emperor Jing would have wanted to replace all the officials who had been in power during his brother's reign.
Miao Zhong couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I have been an official in the court since the time of Emperor Shizu. It has been more than forty years since I was emperor in four dynasties, and I have been an official in the pavilion. I am already the best person in the world. Although the emperor has failed in civil fortress
, However, he realized his mistakes and corrected them. He was not afraid in the face of power. He was alone in the enemy's hands and still dared to inspire the morale of our Ming Dynasty and bring peace to the capital. Now, he even used his lonely body to help Wa Ci turn over, so that those soldiers could finally return to their homeland. This is
Such behavior cannot be done by anyone other than the British Lord. There is nothing you can do..."
"What Mr. Lao said is absolutely true. It was not the traitor who ruined the country that led to this defeat." Gao Gu couldn't help but said with hatred.
"The emperor is cowardly. As ministers, we can still help the country and the country. If the emperor cares about the country for selfish reasons, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, it's not like this, is it?" Gao Gu's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
"Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and it is a last resort for the Emperor to pass him down to His Majesty when he is in danger. However, since he ascended the throne, His Majesty's thoughts every day have been to undermine the Emperor's trusted ministers in the court and appoint private individuals to consolidate his power, but at the expense of the country.
He has made great achievements, but even though the emperor is in a state of death, he still never forgets the great Ming Dynasty. One can tell the difference between the great Ming Dynasty and the great Ming Dynasty at a glance." When Miao Zhong said this, he said in a hesitant voice: "You and I are both orthodox dynasties.
I am an old member of the cabinet when you were the emperor. Now that your majesty has been on the throne for several months, has your majesty heard a word from you and me? I am already frustrated. Since the emperor does not want to tolerate me, I will do whatever I want.
It’s up to His Majesty’s wishes.”
"As for worldly use, I have something to say to you."
"Students, please listen respectfully to your teachings, Sir." Takagu bowed solemnly and said.
"You are in the prime of your life, but the current situation is chaotic and you can't do anything about it, so just sit back and watch for the time being."
Looking at the frustrated Miao Zhong's somewhat stooped back, Gao Gu felt unhappy and a little desolate in his heart, but after thinking for a long time, his eyes became firm again. Miao Zhong was indeed old, and even his ambitions were gone.
It has been completely wiped out, but I am not there yet. The only person who was like a pavilion during the Zhengtong years, except Miao Zhong, is myself.
Although Wang Wen is aggressive, he is not that easy to deal with. Now that the emperor is hunting in the north, his reputation is getting stronger and stronger. If he can... Gao Gu's ambition will even burn his chest.
Zhu Qiyu tried hard to maintain the majesty and arrogance of the emperor on his expression, and slowly stood up and left the dragon throne. His confidant eunuch Wang Cheng took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly to retreat, leaving behind a group of ministers looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Eye.
After leaving the hall, Zhu Qiyu, with a livid face, sat on the dragon chariot without saying a word. His eyes, which were quite similar to those of Zhu Qizhen, were full of sinisterness and resentment. Wang Cheng felt trembling in his heart and wanted to speak out to persuade him.
But seeing Zhu Qiyu's extremely ugly face and the throbbing veins on his forehead, he wisely closed his mouth.
"Damn, these bastards, do they think I am a fool or deaf? Fortunately, they say that they are loyal ministers all day long, hum, loyal ministers, I don't know whose loyal ministers they are!" Zhu Qiyu, who arrived at Yonghe Palace, was filled with anger.
It has not abated, but is getting worse.
Wang Cheng, who knew the emperor's temper and had already dispersed the maids and eunuchs inside and outside the palace, could not help but shudder when he heard these words. He stared at the left and right sides of the palace for fear of someone approaching. After all, the emperor's words were true.
It’s too heart-breaking. Now that the emperor has newly ascended the throne, his foundation is not yet stable. After all, there is still a crown prince Zhu Jianshen staying there, and the emperor’s biological mother, the empress dowager, is not an easy person to deal with. If this word really spreads, I really don’t know what will happen.
What kind of storm is being stirred up?
On Saturday, I still had to code, and I felt like I was almost going crazy... Thank you everyone, because of my good grades, I can have such passion for coding.
