Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 663 Han Yu, it's people's hearts that are wrong
The rising sun dispelled the darkness that shrouded the earth, and the sunlight shone on the glazed tiles, emitting golden rays, adding a bit of majesty to the Forbidden City.

The breeze is coming.

Banners fluttered all over the Forbidden City, and a soldier of the imperial forest army, wearing armor and carrying a sword, was either on duty in various places, or patrolling the palace with a team.

"stop!"

At the gate of Qianqing, Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who was walking forward with a frown, was stopped by the elite soldiers of the imperial forest army on duty, which made Han Yu look up solemnly.

"Han Yuanfu, accept the interrogation first."

Wang Cheng'en, who was standing in front of him, was being searched by the sharp soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, and said to Han Yu with a smile: "This is the rule of the palace, and no one can violate it."

Han Yu didn't say much else, he opened his hands with a flick of his sleeves, and the red official robes moved with the wind, and the two soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army looked stern, and quickly stepped forward to search.

Since Emperor Chongzhen decreed to rectify the imperial guards in the Palace City and Imperial City, and reorganized the system into the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Forbidden City’s palace ban has undergone a thorough rectification.

The soldiers who can be selected into the imperial forest army, without exception, have undergone extremely strict interrogation, which is the basis for ensuring the stability of the Forbidden City.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty should be the elite of the elite of the Ming Dynasty, the trump card of the trump card, rather than simply doing the job of guarding the house.

Want to ensure the loyalty of the imperial guards.

I want to ensure the combat power of the Royal Forest Army.

It is necessary to ensure that they can have a good future and a good start. They will be on duty in the Forbidden City for a few years. Among them, those who perform well will be sent out in batches to be promoted to military positions.

The political ecology of the noble and the humble, under the quiet plan of Emperor Chongzhen, is changing little by little, and it may not have reached the expected goal, but it has changed a lot compared to before.

Especially those armies that Emperor Chongzhen valued, without exception, are military generals who hold corresponding powers, and a brand-new military system is in effective operation to ensure that there will be no threats of self-respect and separatist regimes.

A strong army that can be pulled out to fight, once the civil servants and eunuchs are allowed to intervene, no matter how they were able to fight in the past, they will be destroyed sooner or later.

"My lord, Han Yuanfu is here." Outside Qianqing Palace, Cao Huachun leaned slightly, and whispered to Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the reclining chair and resting his eyes with his eyes closed.

"Ah."

Emperor Chongzhen took away the memorial, opened his eyes tiredly, and looked at Han Yu who was walking towards him, but there was a look of disappointment on his face.

Han Yu, you can't use it after all.

Thinking of these days and all the things that happened in the court, Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood. Originally, he wanted to make do with a little more time and let this cabinet run for a few more years.

However, in this conflict, Emperor Chongzhen was disappointed by Han Yu's performance. A cabinet minister who could not balance the contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power was unacceptable.

Han Yu's expression was complicated. When he walked towards the Qianqing Palace, he saw the emperor leaning on the reclining chair. He walked up to the imperial court, bowed his hands together and said, "I...Han Yu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, and handed the memorabilia to Cao Huachun who was beside him, and leaned on the reclining chair, looking at Han Yu who was bowing and saluting.

It was very quiet outside the Qianqing palace.

Han Yu maintained the posture of bowing and saluting, but his heart became inexplicably confused. The emperor's attitude was unprecedented before.

"Han Yu, do you know why I wanted to kill Yuan Chonghuan?"

Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward, stood up from the reclining chair, looked down at Han Yu who was bowing and saluting, and said coldly, "Even if the Jianlu invasion in the second year of Chongzhen caused a lot of impact on our Ming Dynasty, speaking of it, Yuan Chonghuan is not guilty of death.

But I killed him.

Every time I think of that platform call, Yuan Chonghuan proposed to me the idea of ​​flattening the Liao Dynasty in five years. The rebellion of the Captive Eight Banners has brought back the stability of my Ming Dynasty. "

Han Yu's hand trembled slightly for no reason.

Yuan Chonghuan, what a familiar name.

In the past, he had such trust in Yuan Chonghuan. When the memorials he submitted before the Liao Dynasty were forwarded to the cabinet, no matter what requests he made, he tried his best to help solve them, and even pretended to kill the court generals Mao Wenlong also helped mediate in order to alleviate the emperor's suspicion of him.

"minister……"

Han Yu pondered for a moment, tried to stabilize his mind, bowed and said: "Yuan Chonghuan should not deceive His Majesty about the matter of suppressing the rebellion and building captives, but it is too much to boast..."

"No, you are wrong."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Yuan Chonghuan has always had such problems, but this is not the root cause. Speaking of which, when Yuan Chonghuan left the town of Liao, he also helped Daming temporarily stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

It's just that that kind of stability is based on the loss of the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps Yuan Chonghuan, who was in that situation, knew better than anyone else that it was unrealistic to want to flatten the Liao Dynasty for five years.

Yuan Chonghuan's death has nothing to do with what he did.

Even if they really colluded with Jianlu secretly during the Liaoqian period, I can tolerate it. After all, how many people secretly colluded with Jianlu in Liaoqian at that time.

The atmosphere is like this, no matter how arrogant and disdainful Yuan Chonghuan is, he will inevitably be affected by the atmosphere. Because of this or that situation, he has some correspondence with Jianlu slave chief Huang Taiji. "

Some fine sweat broke out on Han Yu's forehead.

Although the temperature at the moment is still a bit cold.

"What I hate the most is deceiving me and treating me like a fool!"

Emperor Chongzhen tossed his robe sleeves, looked at Han Yu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I feel that I, the Emperor of Ming, don't know anything about what I'm doing, and I don't understand anything.

One thing on the surface, another thing on the back, is this what a courtier of the Ming Dynasty should do?

Is this the ancestral system of Ming Dynasty?
Is this the patriarchal clan of Ming Dynasty?
Could it be that the ancestral clan system of Ming Dynasty was established to restrict me?If this is the case, the emperor's throne should simply be left to the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. "

plop~
Facing Emperor Chongzhen's scolding, Han Yu's legs became weak, and he knelt down on the ground. At this moment, he finally understood why the emperor wanted to mention Yuan Chonghuan.

"Yuan Chonghuan didn't have to die at first, but what he insisted on is trampling on my dignity wantonly. I have to kill him, and I have to kill him!"

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "It's nothing to lose a battle. Who is born to fight? I know the bravery of the Eight Banners of Jianlu.

From the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, my Ming Dynasty, in the past ten years, I don’t know how many athletes were killed by Jianlu, and how many territories were occupied by Jianlu. I want to destroy Jianlu’s offensive in just a few years. , that is simply impossible.

Jianlu Eight Banners is a hunting nation, and the gang of real Tartars gathered under their command have all experienced cruel survival pressure since childhood, so they alone can compete head-on with several great Ming athletes.

This is an objective fact.

But I can't accept that, for some purposes and for some interests, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty put their minds where they shouldn't be, disregarding the interests of our Daming society, leading to a severe crisis. "

Emperor Chongzhen did not mention the current situation in the court, but he was simply talking about the dead Yuan Chonghuan, and talking about the past experiences of Liaodong.

But Han Yu could hear the implication.

"Shangshu, please resign."

Emperor Chongzhen looked down at Han Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with disappointment: "For the sake of your cabinet's difficulty in these years, I will leave you with the last bit of decency, leave my cabinet, and the cabinet that cannot share my worries The first assistant, the first assistant of the cabinet who can't care about the society, I want it to be useless!"

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen flicked his robe sleeves, turned around and walked towards the Qianqing Palace. Han Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, was lost. Having been taken away by him like this, Han Yu's heart felt empty at this moment, as if he had lost something important.
