Chapter 609 Your Majesty, This Is Not Right

Chongzhen had just finished eating, and before the eunuchs on duty finished cleaning up, a small yellow door came to the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Jiading is asking to see you outside the palace gate!" Xiao Huangmen's voice came in.

Chongzhen froze for a moment, then muttered to himself, "What is he doing here? And it's still in the middle of the night?"

Jiading Bo is the old man of Chongzhen, his name is Zhou Kui, he was originally a mason in Daxing, he didn’t know a few big characters, but because he had a good daughter, he became the old man of Chongzhen, but Zhou Kui is not an old man. what a good thing.

"The gates of the palace are locked now, let him go back, let's talk about something tomorrow." Chongzhen said with a look of disgust.

Xiao Huangmen bowed and saluted, and then walked towards the palace gate with Chongzhen's order.

Early the next morning, Chongzhen sat on the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, accepting the worship of the officials.

After the pilgrimage was over, Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian to take out the military newspaper reported by Sun Chuanting and read it to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Gao Qiqian held the military newspaper and read it frustratingly.

After a while, Gao Qiqian closed the military newspaper in his hand and stood beside Chongzhen again.

"I don't know what you want to say, Aiqing? Now Zhao Zeibing sent 20 troops to attack Henan, and Henan's soldiers and horses are in a hurry, but the court can't spare so many soldiers and horses to go to Henan. I don't know if you Aiqing have any questions. A good strategy to control the enemy." Chongzhen looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty standing in the hall, and said.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, staring at each other, but not talking.

Chongzhen looked at the silent hall, his face gradually darkened.

Although Chongzhen didn't expect these civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty to come up with any good strategies to control the enemy, but he really didn't expect that these people would not even want to say a few words on the scene now.

"Hehe, don't you really have nothing to say?" Chongzhen said coldly.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhifa, acting Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, stood up bravely.

He saluted Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is time to increase the number of troops.

Although the minister said before that Sun Chuanting's subordinates should be broken up into pieces, but Zhao thief has too many soldiers and horses, and Sun Chuanting has too few soldiers and horses. In addition to the gap in weapons, more troops should be added. "

"Increasing troops? I also think that we should increase troops, but where do we get more troops? Where do we increase troops? How do we increase troops? Where does the army's salary and food come from?" Chongzhen asked rhetorically.

Zhang Zhifa shut his mouth all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer.

The main hall fell into a strange silence, and all the officials lowered their heads.

Chongzhen looked at the hall like this, and kept sighing in his heart, "Is this the civil servants and military generals of the imperial court? They are all a bunch of useless people!"

After a long time, Chongzhen said again: "Although there are no troops to increase, but Sun Chuanting's request for help cannot be ignored, so I decided to mobilize troops from the Beijing camp to increase troops in Henan.

Zhang Aiqing?Zhu Aiqing, I don't know if you are willing to lead troops to increase troops in Henan? "

Chongzhen looked at the two standing at the front of the queue of generals.

Zhang Zhiji, Duke of England, and Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Cheng, suddenly trembled, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Your Majesty!" The British official Zhang Zhiji stood up. He saluted first, and then said: "Your Majesty, Confucius said benevolence, and Meng said righteousness. Now that the country is in crisis, it is time for us to serve the country and repay the king. The minister should naturally follow His Majesty's order and lead troops to reinforce Henan."

The British Duke spoke loudly and loudly, which attracted the attention of civil servants and military generals in the hall.

They really couldn't understand how the British Duke, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, suddenly became so righteous.

Chongzhen looked at the impassioned British Duke, although he had a smile on his face, but he kept cursing in his heart, "If I didn't know what you are, I would have been deceived by you.

If you put this kind of words in the moment when I just ascended the throne, you might have really been deceived by you. "

"But!" The British Duke suddenly changed his tone.

When Chongzhen heard this but, his face collapsed in an instant.The belly slandered: "Hmph, it really is not what I expected."

After the ministers heard the but of Duke Ying, they also turned around and stopped looking at him.

"Your Majesty, it is the honor of my ministers to die for the country. But the minister is old now, and his hands and feet are not good. If it is because of the minister that he delays the battle, then the minister will not be able to avoid the crime." Busy, explained without haste.

"It's okay, as long as Aiqing is willing to go, I can ask the craftsmen to make shoulder pads for Aiqing." Chongzhen refused to give in, pressing every step of the way.

Seeing Chongzhen like this, the British Duke cursed secretly, "What's wrong with Your Majesty today? Before, as long as I said that, His Majesty would definitely take a step back. Why are you still pressing harder and harder today?"

The Duke of England hastily said: "Your Majesty, I am very old and my eyesight is dim. I have suffered from pain in my waist and legs in the past few days. My body and bones are not as good as before. I have to breathe when I walk two steps. I was seriously ill a while ago. If not With the blessing of the ancestors, maybe the minister will go!"

The British Duke coughed twice as he said that.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I am very willing to lead the reinforcements, but my health is too bad. I am afraid that I will go before I reach Henan!" It seemed impassioned.

"Shameless!" Chongzhen scolded secretly, and then had to show a concerned look, "Ai Qing, please take care, since Ai Qing is in poor health, let's forget it."

The British public talks are all about this, and it is not easy for Chongzhen to force it anymore. After all, this kind of result is also expected by Chongzhen.

"What about Zhu Aiqing? I don't know if Aiqing is willing to lead troops to increase Henan?" Chongzhen looked at Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen.

Seeing Chongzhen looking at him, Zhu Chunchen hurriedly lowered his throat and coughed.

"Cough cough cough, minister, cough cough!
Your Majesty, cough cough, the minister is willing to lead the troops there, cough cough cough, but the minister is a bit weak, cough cough, cough cough..."

Cheng Guogong was even more extreme, he could cough seven or eight times with a single sentence, which made Chongzhen look bored.

"Okay, okay!" Chongzhen waved his hand at Cheng Guogong, "It seems that Aiqing is seriously ill!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm afraid that my body will drag down the battle." Cheng Guogong said pretendingly.

Chongzhen said: "Since that's the case, let's forget about Aiqing."

Hearing these words, British Duke and Cheng Guogong finally let go of their hanging hearts.

"Since both of you are in poor health, I will ask the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to directly appoint troops from the Beijing camp to reinforce Henan.

I decided to let the Zhongwei, Youye and Zuo Sentinel horses of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Zhongwei Youshao of the [-] Battalion send troops to reinforce Henan. " Chongzhen continued.

When the British Duke heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Most of the leading generals in the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion are inextricably linked to the British Duke Cheng Guogong. If these soldiers and horses are sent to Henan, it is equivalent to cutting down the British Duke and Cheng Guogong. The right-hand man of the public.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses that Chongzhen just mentioned are all the confidantes of Duke Cheng of the United Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Cheng Guogong also spoke out to dissuade him.

Chongzhen had expected this scene a long time ago, he half-closed his eyes, looked at Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Beijing Camp to defend the capital. The capital is the most important thing, and it must not be moved lightly.

Although Zhao thief is attacking Henan now, the court doesn't know much about Zhao thief's movements.

If he rashly reinforces Henan at this time, if he encounters the main force of Zhao thief, his entire army will probably be wiped out. "The British Duke didn't care about anything, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, what the British Duke said is right. If the troops from the Beijing camp are rashly mobilized at this time, the entire army may be wiped out." Cheng Guogong also chimed in.

"Annihilation of the entire army? How could it be annihilation of the entire army? Is the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp so bad? Besides, if Henan is not increased, if Henan is captured by the Zhao thieves, do you think the court still has a way out?

Once Henan is taken, Zhao thief forces Shandong to the east, and the water transportation is cut off by him, the capital will become an isolated city.

At that time, even if the Zhao thief does not send troops to attack, the capital will not last long.

What's more, in case the Zhao thief changed direction and went straight north, approaching Zhili, what should the court do by then? "Chongzhen refuted the two in a sharp tone.

"This, this, this..." The British Duke stammered, and after a long time, he couldn't make any sense.

Cheng Guogong also closed his mouth tightly, not knowing what to say.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Min Hongxue, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up.

Pointing to Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, he shouted impassionedly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Duke Ying and Duke Cheng. These two people don't care about the king's kindness, put the country and society in danger, and pretend to be ill to evade His Majesty's will. Moreover, he planted party members, did not think about serving the country, corrupted the law with corruption, and allowed domestic slaves to rob the people..."

As soon as Min Hongxue came up, he kept putting big hats on the British and Cheng Guogongs, and the British and Cheng Guogongs were taken aback for a while.

Min Hongxue was originally Wen Tiren's henchman. Historically, he should have been impeached by Zhou Yanru in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and finally resigned and returned to his hometown.

But in this era, because Zhao Wen put Zhou Yanru down early, he didn't resign and go home like in history.

Min Hongxue used to be Wen Tiren's most powerful thug, whoever Wen Tiren asked him to bite, he would bite.

A while ago, Wen Tiren offended Chongzhen and was sent to Henan by Chongzhen.

As soon as Wen Tiren left, Min Hongxue felt that the sky was falling. After all, he had offended many people by relying on Wen Tiren.

Just when he was in despair, Gao Qiqian approached him.

Min Hongxue was like a life-saving straw grabbed by a drowning man, and he directly surrendered to Gao Qiqian's sect.

Last night, Gao Qiqian sent someone to persuade Min Hongxue to impeach Duke Ying and Duke Cheng this morning.

This was the first thing he did after he surrendered to Gao Qiqian. In order to leave a good impression on Gao Qiqian, he was like a fighter, and he kept putting big hats on Duke Ying and Duke Cheng.

"Your Majesty, people like Duke Ying and Duke Cheng should have their titles removed and their entire family exiled to Xuan Town."

If Min Hong learns the language, he is not surprised and dies endlessly. Is it exile if he goes to Xuanzhen?That is to let these two people die.

The British Duke gave Min Hongxue a cold look, his face turned pale with anger, and his temples kept bulging.

"Your Majesty, people like Duke Ying and Duke Cheng can be punished!" Min Hongxue knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly at Chongzhen to show his loyalty.

Standing beside Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian looked at Min Hongxue with a strange face. He never expected that Min Hongxue, an old school, would be so fierce after all, and he would put so many hats on Duke Ying and Duke Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the commanders of the Fifth Army Battalion and the generals of the soldiers and horses that your Majesty mentioned are useless. It is okay to let them guard the capital, but if they are allowed to lead the soldiers and horses to reinforce Henan, it may delay the opportunity of the war and lead to the failure of the battle. , Your Majesty, please consider carefully."

Regarding Min Hongxue's biting, the British public chose to ignore it, but found a reason to prevaricate Chongzhen first.

"What Aiqing said is not unreasonable!" Chongzhen pinched his chin with his right hand, pretending to be in deep thought.

Seeing Chongzhen's posture, the British public thought that he had moved Chongzhen by talking, and he was relieved all of a sudden.

"But!" Chongzhen's tone changed, "Since these generals are useless, then replace them directly and select capable generals to lead the army and reinforce Henan."

Chongzhen's words were like a thunderbolt on the ground, blowing up the British Duke and Cheng Guogong, who didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, these people are all old men from the Beijing camp. If they are replaced at this time, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp!"

The British official didn't know how to refute, so he hesitated for a long time before choking out this sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, Min Hongxue, who was standing aside, spoke again, "Mr. Ying, do you want to resist the order? You openly refuted His Majesty's order. Do you want to rebel like that thief Zhao? Or are you and Bandits Zhao secretly colluded to prevent His Majesty from increasing troops in Henan?"

Hearing Min Hongxue's words, the British Duke's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Min Hongxue and kept thinking in his heart, "Could it be that this dog heard something? Impossible, those I sent to Xuanzhen They are all my confidantes, and it is absolutely impossible for them to leak this kind of thing. If things change, they will definitely notify me. This Min Hongxue should be talking nonsense, judging by his posture, it is also nonsense. If he To really hear this, you should have said it at the very beginning, not until now."

In a short period of time, the British public had a lot on their minds.

After thinking about everything, the Duke of England glared at Min Hongxue, then looked at Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate to change the general at this time, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen did not answer, and Min Hongxue also fell silent after refusing the British Duke several times.

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
