Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 456 Ostrich Tactics
In the Qianqing palace, the uncles are still those few uncles, but their faces are very surprised.

Li Banghua, the second assistant of the cabinet, met with Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and Fan Jingwen shook his head knowingly.

It was only yesterday that they learned that His Majesty's condition had improved and that he had arrived at Shanhaiguan. According to their prediction, it would take five days at the earliest for Chongzhen to reach the capital.

So much so that Chongzhen's sudden arrival frightened the elders quite a bit, especially when they walked all the way from Wenyuan Pavilion, but they knew that something big was going to happen when they saw that there were soldiers they had never seen before.

At this moment in Qianqing Palace, except for Liu Hongjian who was holding his fingernails as if nothing had happened, the rest of the elders did not dare to take a breath, they were all waiting for Chongzhen's speech.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wang Erxi lit the incense candles in the palace, and immediately stood by.

Chongzhen held a bowl of tea, took a sip slowly and put the tea bowl on the table.

"Could you please explain to me why the capital has become so chaotic after only three months since I left?" Chongzhen's tone was calm, but everyone knew that it was because he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, everything in the capital is peaceful, and there is no sign of turmoil. Why did the emperor say this?" Zheng Sanjun, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw that several colleagues were silent, knowing that he could not hide, he could only reply.

"Hmph, is it true that Vientiane is at peace? The threshold of Prince Ding's Mansion will probably be trampled to pieces in the past few days, you really don't know?" Chongzhen almost poked Zheng Sanjun's face with his fingers.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ding has always been hospitable, perhaps..." Li Banghua, the second assistant to the cabinet, explained in a low voice.

"Hospitality? As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, have you forgotten the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty? King Ding is young, and the courtiers are all well-read poems and books. Can they forget it?
Are they trying to plot rebellion?As a cabinet minister, do you feel ashamed and responsible for dereliction of duty? "

Chongzhen directly interrupted Li Banghua's speech. He is now disappointed with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the only way to relieve his hatred is to use thunderbolts.

"I am ashamed!" All the cabinet members stood up and knelt down to confess their guilt, except for Liu Hongjian who was still pinching his nails.

These uncles are also unlucky. Although they are elders, they can't control the words and deeds of all the courtiers. What did the courtiers do secretly, and they will not report to them.

They are not Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they are also very desperate!

Chongzhen was also confused, and now he wanted to find a place to vent his anger, but he really scolded the cabinet, but found that it didn't work.

Several uncles knelt in the hall and did not dare to make a sound. The hall was quiet for a moment. Chongzhen ordered them to go back and meditate on their own past, and then threw them out of the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as the elders left, Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, and Tongzhi, the commander of Jinyiwei, came hand in hand to report to Chongzhen the latest movements of all the officials in the capital.

Not all the officials who committed the crime stayed at home obediently and waited to die. As soon as the news that Chongzhen's condition was stable came to the capital two days ago, several officials from the Sixth Division panicked.

These keyboard warriors know that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are very powerful. If Chongzhen really dies, they will have nothing to fear with the support of King Ding.

After all, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the emperor's domestic slaves, and the emperor is dead, so what are they afraid of?

But I never expected that His Majesty was not dead. Not only was he not dead, but he also presided over the wedding ceremony for the big soldiers in Shanhaiguan.

The officials are not stupid either. Some smart people have already smelled a conspiracy. Some are glad, some are worried, and some even plan to run away.

Since there was no explicit order from Chongzhen, the Dongchang fans only followed secretly, but did not take action.

Everything is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Could it be the king's land in the whole world, where can he go?

These guys who reported sick leave and fled in fear of crime all chose to return to their hometowns.

Liu Hongjian almost laughed out loud when he heard what the officials were doing. Is this the only thing keyboard warriors can do?Is this playing ostrich tactics?
Chongzhen snorted coldly, and ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest these people and go to Beijing according to the plan. When they got home, they just arrested their family members.

It's no wonder that these civil servants are acting like this, they really have nothing to do, the current Chongzhen has almost been led astray by Liu Hongjian.

No matter what schemes and tricks you have, if you are disobedient, you will be dismissed and go home to sell sweet potatoes.

Again, in the face of absolute strength, all plots will be useless.

With soldiers in his hands, Chongzhen is fearless now, reminiscent of the demeanor that Liu Hongjian had when he first took charge of the soldiers.

After sending away Cao Huachun and Liang Yang, it was midnight, and Liu Hongjian fell asleep lying on the table, while Chongzhen was still radiant, thinking about what had not been properly arranged.

"Youming, Youming?" Chongzhen patted Liu Hongjian.

"Ah? I'm sorry Your Majesty, my subject..." Liu Hongjian apologized by rubbing his sore eyes.

"It's okay, you've been driving all day, and you're tired now, oh, it seems like we haven't eaten yet...

Wang Erxi, pass on the meal! " Chongzhen said to Wang Erxi who was waiting on the side.

This is the only good thing in the palace. The Shangshan Supervisor is on standby 24 hours a day. No matter what time it is, as long as Chongzhen gives an order, the table will be filled with dishes within a quarter of an hour.

"No need, Your Majesty, I'm not hungry yet, I'll go home and eat." Liu Hongjian yawned, thinking, Uncle, you just remembered that we haven't eaten yet!

Really big hearted, Liu Hongjian's stomach was about to be flattened by hunger, but compared with going home to reunite with his family, the imperial meal in the palace was obviously less attractive.

"I see, you are homesick. Forget it, let's go back first. After I have finished handling the important matters in the court, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange your marriage with Kunxing." Chongzhen got up and said as if nothing had happened.

"Er... the minister resigns." Liu Hongjian was so choked by Chongzhen that he could only obey, he was being targeted by Chongzhen, when is this, why can't he forget about it?
"Oh, it's late at night, don't forget to bring some personal guards with you when you leave the palace." Chongzhen added another sentence after finishing the matter.

No wonder Chongzhen was like this, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were submissive and obedient, if Liu Hongjian did something wrong again, even if he killed all the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, it would be of no avail.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, hehe, I have something to discuss with you." Liu Hongjian took two steps and turned back, saying with a serious face.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Chongzhen thought that Liu Hongjian had something important to explain, so he sat on the throne again.

"I... want to take a leave of absence tomorrow." Liu Hongjian said while looking at Chongzhen's face. After three months of tossing around outside the customs, it was too uncomfortable not to be able to sleep peacefully when he returned home.

Liu Hongjian didn't reject Chongzhen with a single glance. After all, now that the important matter has been decided, this Zhuzi has been really tired recently. Even if he came to the morning court, he would secretly take a nap in the back, so it's better to give him some grace.

Having won Chongzhen's approval, Liu Hongjian walked out of Qianqing Palace as if running away.

It's finally been liberated. It's been nearly three months. Xiu'er, Xue'er, baby son, how are you all?
