Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 181 The Grand Council (2)

The three halls headed by the Huangji Hall are the symbols of imperial power. Except for festivals and special occasions, the Huangji Hall will not be used easily. For example, the early dynasty and the Shuowang Dynasty are often held at the Huangji Gate and Qianqing Gate. , that is, the imperial gate listens to politics.

Looking at the Huangji Hall, which was repaired during the reign of Tianqi, Emperor Chongzhen felt sad. Speaking of which, the predecessor of the Huangji Hall was Fengtian Hall, which was later renamed during the Jiajing period. The three halls that symbolize imperial power have gone through several times. Water burns things.

When it comes to scale, the Huangji Palace completed in the Tianqi Dynasty has lost its previous splendor and scale. However, due to this achievement, Wei Zhongxian received a lot of rewards.

Different from the grand dynasties held during festivals and celebrations, the grand court meeting held by Emperor Chongzhen this time was specially held due to the special circumstances encountered by the dynasty, so the etiquette process is different from that of festivals and congratulations, but it is also very complicated.

At least the Emperor Chongzhen, who came to the dragon chair with the Tianzi sword and stepped on Dan Bi under the call of the officials, couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

This grand court meeting indeed demonstrated the imperial power, but it was also an extremely tiring thing.

"..."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chongzhen, with his sword eyebrows upside down, looked at the officials listed in the imperial court, and listened to the article written by the Ministry of Rites, but he was thinking of other things.

No wonder my imperial grandfather and elder brother were unwilling to go to court. For such cumbersome matters, let alone dealing with the affairs of the court, people would be exhausted even if they were tired.

Different from the regular dynasty of the Tartar Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty opened at the same time as the Early Dynasty and the Shuowang Dynasty, and the frequency was actually higher. However, under some conscious smears, it gave the impression that the Emperor of the Tartar Qing Dynasty was more diligent in governing.

Even if it was Emperor Wanli who hadn't been in court for 30 years, it was just that he didn't hold a permanent court, but Ming Dynasty's government was still handled by others, otherwise if he really let it go for such a long time, Daming would have changed his color a long time ago.

According to the political system set up by the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet handles the drafting, the ceremonial supervisor handles the approval, and the ministries, courts, and temples are in charge of affairs in various fields. It can be regarded as the perfect embodiment of the feudal system.

If Daming hadn't been dragged down by the Little Ice Age, so that there were no financial problems, and it was forced to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, then the Jianlu Eight Banners, who lived in a corner, wanted to take advantage of the Jiashen Rebellion and rely on a large number of traitors to win the throne Shenzhou, that is absolutely impossible.

In the era of death, it is really helpless and funny to call Jianlu to Stud.

"Qizou Your Majesty..."

Wang Qia held the court wat and walked out of the court class. The voice he shouted echoed in the Huangji Hall, bringing the confused Emperor Chongzhen back to his senses.

The foreplay was finally over, and it was long enough.

The Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, lifted his spirits, sat firmly on the dragon chair, scanned the officials standing in the hall with sharp eyes, and listened to what Wang Qia said.

"This time, the country was invaded by Jianlu, and the country suffered catastrophe. When the local turmoil and the court were divided, His Majesty personally took charge of the overall situation, issued an edict to suppress the chaos and save the country, set up a military aircraft department, and trained a strong army... and even rampant with Jianlu. At this time, in order to protect the emperor's prestige, His Majesty personally marched, established a crown prince to stabilize the country, and appointed auxiliary ministers to strengthen the court..."

Listening to Wang Qia's words, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking back at all that happened in the past, it was like a dream. Under such a dangerous situation, he was actually not sure that everything he had done, Whether it can defeat the Jianlu Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji.

After all, given the situation at that time, Daming's face changed when he talked about slavery, and there were very few troops who dared to really show their swords to Jianlu.

However, if Emperor Chongzhen is asked to make another choice, he will also make such a choice. After all, the longer the self-change takes place, the greater the damage it will cause to Ming. How many people will die, and how many people, money and food will be looted by Jianlu.

For the Jianlu who are not good at production, plundering the corresponding means of production undoubtedly strengthened their background. It is also called the Jianlu Eight Banners, which advocates war even more, and makes Daming fall into a more passive situation.

"...The Military Aircraft Department is following His Majesty's orders. The troops who accompanied him in the battle have been issued an edict to fight chaos and save the country. The soldiers and horses of the King Qin rescued him, and they have completed the corresponding evaluations. I also ask Your Majesty to recite the importance of the country and grant rewards." , in order to show the imperial majesty to the world."

In front of the officials in the Huangji Hall, Wang Qia finished speaking to Emperor Chongzhen, and under the watchful eyes of the officials, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen with a wat in his hand.

It's up to me.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind and stretched out his hand to signal: "Aiqing, please rise up. This time, the country's dynasty has undergone sudden changes. Fortunately, there are loyal and brave men in my Ming Dynasty who think about the importance of the country, so I can be under my command. Defeat the rampant Jianlu, and severely defeat the Jianlu who committed the crimes below.

I have said before that I will never be stingy in rewarding those who have made meritorious service in the country and the country, and I will not let go of anyone who has done something wrong in the country and the country.

This time, I specially convened the Great Court Council to give corresponding rewards to those good ministers, brave generals, athletes, and brave men who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. "

Listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, the cabinet ministers, courtiers, and courtiers in the court class all showed different expressions and felt different feelings in their hearts.

Under such circumstances, the Son of Heaven still emphasizes rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds and punishing those who have done wrong. This has to be called Han Yu and Li Biao, subconsciously thinking of Yuan Chonghuan who was detained in the imperial prison.

And military ministers like Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Xu Guangqi, in addition to thinking of Yuan Chonghuan, also thought of the inner court Huangzhuang that was ordered to be purged by the emperor.

Following the Emperor Chongzhen's command, the experience of a personal expedition together, as well as the experience of working in the military aircraft department, made them clearly feel the change of the emperor.

At this moment, the officials in the Huangji Hall, including the eunuchs who preached the scriptures, and the officials gathered outside the Huangji Hall were all waiting for the Emperor Chongzhen to issue a decree and read out the imperial decree.

'Aren't they all waiting for my decree to be issued, to read out the imperial decree, and then to end this grand court meeting? '

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the ministers in the palace, the Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes gleamed brightly, and said secretly in his heart, it's a pity that things are not that simple.

It is rare to convene a big court meeting. If some of his political goals cannot be clarified by this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste of this political ceremony?

"Before announcing the reward decree, I have something to read first."

Under the stunned gaze of all the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen stood up slowly, holding the Tianzi sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Since it is a grand court meeting, some things must be clarified first. If these things cannot be clarified, No matter how many rewards are announced, those athletes who died in battle cannot feel at ease."
