Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 152 Changing defenses by order, the prestige of the nine admirals

What is the civil servant of Ming Dynasty most concerned about?
is the face.

is fame.

It is official career.

With these things, for those civil servants with small minds, they can get everything they want.

Emperor Chongzhen decided to ride a horse, holding a whip in his hand, and glanced at the civil and military ministers in front of him. His eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. on the shelf.

"Get up."

Emperor Chongzhen's voice was not loud, but to Han Yu, Li Biao and others who were kneeling in front of the team, it echoed in his ears like thunder.

Why did the emperor arrest Ji Liao, who also supervised Denglai, Tianjin military affairs, and Yuan Chonghuan, who was fully in charge of Ping Liao affairs, when the emperor returned to the court in triumph?To humiliate Yuan Chonghuan so lightly, what is going on? !

Recalling the emperor's personal conquest, when he was still stationed in Sanhe, the military aircraft department issued an order in front of him. Qian Longxi acted arbitrarily and domineeringly, disregarding the safety of the emperor, and took the minions condemned by Jianlu from the front line back to Sanhe without authorization. The emperor's execution caused quite a stir in the court.

The group of ministers who stood up in twos and threes felt like a stormy sea surging in their hearts at this moment. Such a scene was something they had never imagined.

"Your Majesty, how can you treat me, Ming Zhongliang, like this?" Liu Zongzhou, one of the auxiliary ministers, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, walked out of the crowd with a little excitement in his brows, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

Want something bad! !
Wang Qia and Li Banghua, standing behind Emperor Chongzhen, saw Liu Zongzhou standing up, their faces were worried, they clenched their fists subconsciously, and looked at Liu Zongzhou hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, are those treacherous ministers and thieves who spread slanderous words and want to treat my virtuous Ming like this? Governor Yuan has come out of town and Liao for me all these years to stop..."

"His Majesty……"

Under the watchful eyes of Wang Qia and the others, several officials and censors of science and Taoism stood up one after another and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qia and Li Banghua couldn't help sighing softly, closed their eyes, and immediately looked at them with bitterness and anxiety. The thing they were most worried about finally happened.

Previously at Hanerzhuang, in front of many ministers, relatives, and generals, Emperor Chongzhen questioned Yuan Chonghuan's words one after another, as well as arresting Yuan Chonghuan for questioning. The purpose of sending the decree back to Shenjing is to make a time difference.

One is to punch the Chinese official hard.

One is to buy time for Sun Zushou to serve as the admiral of the Nine Gates.

"Let's all jump out. Compared with those useless false names, I value actual benefits more. At this time, Sun Zushou and the others should also take action." '

Looking at some civil officials headed by Liu Zongzhou, they all jumped out to persuade themselves, wanting to know why they treated Yuan Chonghuan like this. Emperor Chongzhen, who was determined to ride a horse, did not get angry or reply, but just sat quietly, his gaze He looked in the direction of Chaoyang Gate.

……

"Dong dong dong..."

"Da da……"

Accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps and the sound of horseshoes, Sun Zushou, who led his troops towards Chaoyang Gate, felt a little excited and apprehensive in his heart.

Although he was promoted by the emperor to be the admiral of the Nine Gates when he was temporarily stationed in the camp of Han'erzhuang, he was fully responsible for the defense of Shenjing. Sun Zushou, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is inevitably afraid of any mistakes during the period. If there are any mistakes, then he will be blamed even if he dies.

"Guardian, look quickly, is the emperor coming here?"

Just when Sun Zushou led the soldiers of the loyal and brave army to the Chaoyangmen moat area, the Chaoyangmen defenders who were in charge of guarding the Chaoyangmen moat early on felt a little different.

It's just that Guo Wenzhong, the guard of Chaoyang Gate, didn't know why the soldiers and horses in front of him came in such a hurry when the emperor returned to the court triumphantly.

When the two sides were more than a hundred steps away, Sun Zushou, who was riding forward, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The military aircraft department will issue the imperial edict, and Guo Wenzhong, the guard of Chaoyang Gate, step forward to listen to the edict!"

"..."

Seeing this army of soldiers and horses that did not conform to the etiquette, when they were more than a hundred paces away from his own troops, Guo Wenzhong's heart tightened, and he immediately ran forward with a sword in his hand.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Guo Wenzhong knew in his heart that something big must have happened when the emperor returned to court in triumph.

"Guo Wenzhong, the guard of the Chaoyang Gate, listen to the order."

"This time when Jianlu invaded Daming, the defenses in Shenjing were loose... Sun Zushou was specially promoted as the admiral of the Nine Gates. The guard of the Chaoyang Gate listened to this order and immediately issued an order to be under the admiral of the Nine Gates..."

When Sun Zushou read out an eloquent decree in public, Guo Wenzhong, who knelt down on one knee, looked surprised and looked at Sun Zushou in disbelief.

Nine admirals?

What the hell is this!

I was temporarily dismissed from the position of guard of Chaoyang Gate? !
Just when Guo Wenzhong couldn't believe that everything he heard was true, the new guard of Chaoyang Gate, leading the soldiers of the loyal and brave army, walked forward quickly.

"Quick, follow the plan!"

Under the roar of the new Chaoyang Gate guard, the teams of loyal and brave soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, went to the direction of the moat, some went to the direction of Chaoyang Gate, and some went to the direction of the Chaoyang Gate defenders. of……

"General, what is going on here?"

Seeing this scene, Guo Wenzhong stood up, walked quickly to Sun Zushou, stretched out his hand and said, "I am the defender of Chaoyang Gate, why..."

"Guo Shoujiang, what the edict said is very clear."

Sun Zushou, who was riding on the horse, looked at Guo Wenzhong with an indifferent expression, and said, "Act honestly, and those who dare to make changes will be punished as treason!
You have only been temporarily shifted from defense, and your official positions will be restored after His Majesty returns triumphantly today. "

"This……"

Feeling the coercion emanating from Sun Zushou, Guo Wenzhong froze in place. He never thought that such a thing would happen when the emperor returned to court in triumph.

But in the current situation, he didn't dare to do anything other than stay honest. The edict read out by Sun Zushou just now is very clear, and those who dare to make changes will be punished as treason.

Seeing Guo Wenzhong standing in confusion, Sun Zushou couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. There was no problem with Chaoyangmen, so it would not affect Shengjia's return to Beijing.

At this moment, the guards sent to the various gates of Shenjing should have finished reading the imperial edicts they held, and they are probably preparing for the succession of the city.

At this time, Sun Zushou was waiting for Chaoyangmen to change its defenses, so that he could leave Chaoyangmen, rush to the area where Shengjia was, and report to Emperor Chongzhen.
