Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 5 The platform calls right, scolding mediocrity
"Sun Qing, when do you think the courtiers who heard the edict to suppress chaos and save the country will come to the Qianqing Gate and get together to persuade me to withdraw the edict?"

Emperor Chongzhen held the teacup, glanced at Wang Chengen who had already returned, and said to Sun Chengzong with a light smile, and then took a sip of tea, but the seriousness between his brows did not dissipate at all.

Time, now he wants to fight for all the time he can!
However, he can't mess up before the final decision is made!

"Return to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's time for a cup of tea."

With a dignified brow, Sun Chengzong bowed his hands respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen, but at this moment his heart was still shocked by what the emperor said before the meal.

No wonder the emperor wants to issue this decree. It turns out that the emperor's purpose is to...

"My lord, the cabinet, ministries, courts, divisions, Taoists and other courtiers headed by Chief Assistant Han Yu gathered outside the Qianqing Gate to petition to see the lord!"

Cao Huachun walked in a hurry, walked up to Emperor Chongzhen respectfully, bowed his hands and bowed.

"coming!"

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, flicked his robe sleeves and said: "Let's go, let's drive the Qingmen, I want to be on the platform, call the right! Discuss important military matters with my good ministers, seriously, seriously!

Sun Qing, come with me. "

"The slaves obey the orders!"

"Old minister obeys!"

Cao Huachun, Sun Chengzong and others immediately bowed their hands.

Emperor Chongzhen talked about calling on the platform, which was a place for the Great Ming Dynasty to call courtiers and ask about government affairs, especially for local officials in the frontiers.

The platform, located in the center of the Jianji Hall, is opposite to the Qianqing Gate. Emperor Chongzhen has been planning for several days to call for today's platform.

Everything is done to avoid some tragedies from happening.

"Do you think the Son of Heaven will summon us? If His Majesty does not summon us, won't this edict to suppress chaos and save the country be issued by the cabinet?"

"This edict involves Tianjin, Denglai, Dongjiang and other places. It cannot be bypassed by the Ministry of War. Even if the Ministry of War is asked to refute the matter, it must not be made public at the risk of angering the emperor."

"But this is Zhongzhi, even if..."

At that time outside the gate of Qianqing, the gathered courtiers were discussing in low voices with worried expressions, indignation, and uneasiness.

Han Yu, Li Biao and other cabinet ministers stood quietly in front. Although they didn't speak, they heard what the ministers behind them said, and they kept trying to figure out the holy meaning in their hearts.

"Your Majesty ordered that all the ministers gather on the platform and summon the right party!"

Cao Huachun walked to the gate of Qianqing in advance, surrounded by eunuchs behind him, saw the group of officials in front of him, looked indifferent, and shouted loudly.

Han Yu, Li Biao and other courtiers couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words, the emperor once again made the decision to summon the right platform without warning, what exactly is he trying to do!

"The minister waits for the order!"

However, no matter how surprised and suspicious they were, the emperor had issued an order, and they had no choice but to obey the order, and walked towards the platform with uncertain expressions.

"Sun Qing, you go to the side first and wait."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chariot, and said indifferently: "Whether we can save Daming this time, or defeat Jianlu, depends on the right summoning this time."

"The old minister leads the order."

Sun Chengzong clasped his hands and answered, frowning tightly, and he hadn't let go since he left Qianqing Palace. Obviously, he was not absolutely sure that the platform call was right in his heart.

Under the leadership of Cao Huachun, the officials gathered at Qianqingmen, headed by Han Yu, Li Biao and other cabinet ministers, came to the place of Emperor Chongzhen in an orderly manner.

When they saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the platform, whether it was the cabinet ministers like Han Yu or Li Biao, or the group of courtiers behind them, they all secretly became suspicious.

"kneel!"

After Han Yu and Li Biao stood up and made a decision, Wang Chengen took a few steps forward and said loudly.

The pilgrimage team headed by Han Yu saluted and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" "Long live!" "Long live!"

"Everyone is flat!"

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, fixed his eyes on Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren who were standing in the crowd, and said indifferently.

"Thank you!"

On this platform, the ministers who were paying their respects stood up one after another, and this platform call was also considered as the prelude.

"I heard that you all gathered at the Qianqing Gate, but do you have any objections to the decree I issued?"

Emperor Chongzhen's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the courtiers in front of him, and said: "What? But I think there is something wrong with what I said?

Han Qing, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, you should first say that the current situation in the court is uncertain, so don't so many rules. "

The advantage of this platform is that when discussing government affairs with the emperor and the ministers, when encountering problems, the emperor will name the ministers and take the initiative accordingly.

"Your Majesty, although the Jiankui have now passed through Mongolia and divided up their troops, the current situation is far from being as critical as His Majesty imagined."

Under the watchful eyes of the officials gathered on the platform, Han Yan took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said: "The imperial decree issued by His Majesty, the edict of suppressing chaos and saving the country, will definitely cause turmoil in terms of the current situation!
I hope that Your Majesty will be safe in the country, please take back the purpose of this way.

The cabinet has already dispatched the Ministry of War to discuss countermeasures. You can order Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, to immediately lead his troops to help Gyeonggi and repel the border invaders! "

"Really? Is that my fault?"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the officials in front of him, and said coldly: "Don't you still think in your heart that the current Jianlu on the frontier of the bandits just broke through the key passes such as Longjing Pass and Da'an Pass.

Zunhua and Santunhe are two important military sites. Although there is a risk of being threatened by Jianlu, they will not be directly attacked by Jianlu.

Do you all think that if I don't manage government affairs in the Wenhua Palace in the past few days, I don't care about the current urgent military affairs?

Let me tell you the truth, I am afraid that the critical pass of Xifengkou has already been breached by another main force of Jianlu!

Don't you have to wait for the Eight Banners of Jianlu to hit our important place in the capital before you wake up? ! ! ! "

After listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, Han Yu, Li Biao and other officials were terrified in their hearts, and their expressions changed drastically.

If the important pass at Xifengkou was also breached by Jianlu, then the two important places of Zunhua and Santunhe would be completely exposed to Jianlu's soldiers.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then Yuan Chonghuan should be ordered to return to help Gyeonggi immediately!" Han Yan suppressed his inner horror, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Han Yu! As the chief assistant of the cabinet, what else can you do besides being called Yuan Chonghuan!"

Emperor Chongzhen sternly shouted, stood up from the dragon chariot, pointed at Han Yu and shouted: "In these years, the imperial court has followed Yuan Chonghuan's words, apportioned the Liao's salary to the world, spent huge sums of money, built the Guan Jinning line of defense, and said that it would be able to pacify the Liao Dynasty in five years. , I believed in him, thinking that he was the great Ming's brachius, who could help me solve the problem of building captives, but what a result!!!"
