Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 779 Fighting chaos and saving the country (1)

Forbidden City Chengtianmen.

The cold wind howled and the flags fluttered.

There are countless armored soldiers scattered on Chang'an Avenue. They have cold eyes and indifferent expressions, standing tall and straight with firearms in their hands, waiting for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Outside Chengtian Gate, a large number of civil and military personnel gathered.

"It's been almost two hours, why hasn't the news of His Majesty's return to Beijing come?"

"That is to say, did something happen?"

"I don't know the arrangement of Liaodi, how His Majesty will deal with it."

"The crux of the problem now is not how to arrange the Liao land, but how to solve the rebellion in the southern provinces."

"Indeed, the south of the Yangtze River is an important source of taxation for the country. If this matter is not handled properly, it may not be beneficial to the stability of the country..."

While the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty waited anxiously to welcome Yujia, some courtiers whispered among the crowd. Although Emperor Chongzhen personally fought with Yujia and won the due victory, the current court situation attracts many people's attention to Jiangnan!
"Yuanfu, the triumphant return of the emperor to Beijing this time has indeed played a role in the turbulent court situation." Facing the cold wind blowing, Bi Ziyan looked a little tired, and said to Xu Guangqi who was looking aside .

"Although it was said that the news of Liaozuo's great victory was spread to all parts of the capital by the emperor's decree, which played an inspiring role, but the rebellion in the southern provinces had too great an impact.

After all, if Jiangnan is unstable, it will affect the national system.

However, Benfu was still a little worried. If the emperor returned to Beijing triumphantly in such a hurry, if Liaodong's arrangements were not good, new accidents might happen.

As far as the current situation facing the country is concerned, it really cannot withstand other turmoil. How to resolve the chaos smoothly is the most important thing. "

"To be honest...Honsuke is also a little worried."

Xu Guangqi's deep eyes sparkled with a gleam of brilliance, "However, the emperor's temperament is very clear to both the government and the public, either not to do it, or to do it to the extreme.

Although we don't know exactly what arrangements and decisions the emperor made in Liaodong, Benfu also believes that the emperor can think of this level.

The crux of the problem now is how to deal with the rebellion under the Jiangnan rule. If the time is delayed for too long, it will definitely not be the case for the Ming Dynasty..."

Da da da!
Da da da!
The rapid sound of horseshoes interrupted Xu Guangqi's words. Hundreds of elite cavalry surrounded Emperor Chongzhen and galloped on Chang'an Street, heading towards Chengtianmen.

"Your Majesty ordered the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter the palace immediately."

A cavalryman rushed out of the cavalry formation, holding a military flag, and rushed to Chengtianmen at an extremely fast speed, which made the civil and military troops who were driving immediately into chaos.

Emperor Chongzhen rode on a horse, holding a whip, and galloped towards Chengtianmen, overlooking the chaotic court, his stern eyes scanned the civil and military personnel who were welcoming him.

But it didn't slow down.

"The emperor returns to the palace!"

"The emperor returns to the palace!"

The guarding cavalry looked coldly at Chengtianmen, where martial law was imposed, and roared in unison, which made the guards of Chengtianmen's imperial guards move.

Pass through the Chengtian Gate, pass through the Duan Gate, enter the Meridian Gate, and enter the Huangji Gate...

Looking at the familiar buildings, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little emotional. After leaving the Forbidden City for more than half a year, he came to the Forbidden City again, but there were many changes.

call~
Emperor Chongzhen reined in the reins and rode on his horse. He looked at the Qianqing Palace in front of him, with a faint smile on his face. Behind him, a large number of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army came running quickly from the direction of Qianqing Gate.

The accompanying eunuchs and ministers, including Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, Yang Sichang, ran towards Qianqing Palace very fast, but their movements were a bit awkward.

This road galloping from Qinhuangdao to Gyeonggi was a serious crime for them.

Originally, the boat crossing the sea from Lianyungao Port under the rule of Gaizhou Prefecture should stop at Tianjin Port, so as to reach the capital faster, but the Emperor Chongzhen temporarily decided to stop at Qinhuangdao Port, which also made the Yujia place busy.

That's why.

It was simply that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see how the garrisons in Jimiyong Sanxie and other places were. When he rushed to the capital, he also met with Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Zhili.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the resolution of the Jiangnan Rebellion was a peak duel between the old and the new.

"Removal of armor!"

Skillfully turning over from the horse, Emperor Chongzhen's exhausted face showed a determined expression, he opened his arms, and said loudly.

The eunuchs Wang Cheng'en, Cao Huachun and others who came running did not care about getting tired, so they surrounded Emperor Chongzhen and skillfully removed the armor worn by their own emperor.

Armor is heavy.

But very safe.

As the layers of protection were removed, Emperor Chongzhen felt a burst of relief, rubbed his sore arms, and walked towards the main hall of Qianqing Palace with his head held high.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The soldiers of the imperial army and the eunuchs and eunuchs gathered in the Qianqing Palace all bowed and saluted. Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the Qianqing Palace stepping on Dan Bi.

"Wang Banban, go and find the map of Daming Kun." Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the maps of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed in response.

now.

Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and others who were summoned into the palace had just been interrogated by the Qianqing Gate, and they ran towards the Qianqing Palace at a trot all the way.

Emperor Chongzhen's triumphant return to Beijing made everyone unconcealably excited.

Although some etiquette rules were not carried out according to the rules, Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and the others were not thinking about it at all at the moment.

They didn't even care about why Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and other accompanying ministers didn't return to Beijing with the emperor. Now they really want to know what the emperor thinks about the suppression of the Jiangnan rebellion.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

The standing Emperor Chongzhen, under the service of Cao Huachun, put on a brand-new tuanlong uniform, overlooking the ministers entering the palace, with no expression of joy or sorrow.

"The rebellion in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, etc. have dealt with it, in my opinion, it is quite appropriate." Emperor Chongzhen pushed Cao Huachun away, adjusted the dragon suit, turned and walked towards the dragon chair, and stretched out his hand to Xu Guangqi they said.

"However, there are some things that have not been done enough. The definition of rebellion in the Jiangnan provinces has not been clarified by the court.

This is wrong in my opinion.

During the period of Zhen Yujia's personal conquest, such incidents occurred in Jiangnan, involving Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. It seems that it was caused by the inaction of local officials.

If the suppression of the rebellion in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be effectively resolved and the rebellion will further expand, it will threaten the foundation of the country's rule. "

The main hall of Qianqing Palace was extremely quiet.

Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan showed different expressions.

When they first learned about the Jiangnan rebellion, they did more to maintain stability and prevent the rebellion from having a greater impact and change.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen at that time was still in command of the elites of various ministries of the Ming Dynasty, fighting on the left front of the Liao Dynasty, fighting against the rampant Jianlu.

No one knows whether the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River will affect the emperor's personal conquest once it has too much influence and changes.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen was the root cause. If any accident happened to him, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event for Daming.

Once this happens, the Great Ming Sheji may be overthrown.

"I feel that the Jiangnan rebellion can be characterized as fighting rebellion and saving the country."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked around at the officials in the hall, and said loudly: "Behind the seemingly disorderly rebellion, there is actually a big conspiracy hidden, and that is the betrayal of the reformation. This cannot be concealed. of.

I know that the reform and reform will touch the interests of many groups, but some of the chronic diseases that exist in Ming Dynasty are real.

The Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, and the country and society will overthrow sooner or later. This is the result I have seen.

Since some people are against the Reformation, they are against Daming. My attitude towards this part of the group is clear, kill! ! !

Also... there are rebellions in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Officials in some places have unshirkable responsibilities. They must be abolished when dealing with these people! "
