Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 344
The next day, early in the morning.

The fiery red sun appeared in the sky after a long absence, shedding hard-won warmth for the earth.

And today's Xiping Fort also changed from the coldness it had been for many days. Everyone walked out of the house, and the flow of people gathered everywhere and then came to today's main venue together.

The Martial Arts Academy in Xiping Fort.

"Old Wangtou, are you here too?"

"Isn't that right? It's not that I heard that the elder of the pavilion wants to tell us the news from the capital here today, and the emperor said it himself."

"Yeah, I came here only after I heard that. This is what the emperor said. I heard that the emperor said everything. It's amazing!"

"Hahaha, you old man Li is really uneducated. That's called Kouhan Tianxian, which means that what your Majesty says is golden words, and what you say will come true!"

"Cut! Old man Zhu, how much better are you than me? Isn't it because a master scholar taught you a few big characters before? What are you looking like! Hmph!"

"Hey, we can read, we are cultural people, we are better than you, old Li! Are you not convinced?"

"Dissatisfied!"

"What do you want if you don't agree?"

"Let's practice!"

As Lao Li said, he began to roll up the sleeves of his hands, as if he was about to strike, Lao Zhu panicked immediately, and hurriedly backed away, at the same time he couldn't stop saying: "A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands, you reckless man, don't be impulsive!"

"Hey! We are just countrymen! We are not gentlemen! Stop!"

"Ah! Help! Old Li beat someone!"

……

The audience of Dian Jiang was bustling with people, but the Dian Jiang stage was already tightly guarded by orderly soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach.

Time was passing minute by minute while everyone was waiting, and soon it was Chen Shi.

The sun was already slanting in the sky, and all the people who were supposed to get up in this point of the fort also got up. Xu Guangqi finally arrived belatedly, and under the protection of the guards from the Beiyu Office, he climbed up slowly under the eyes of everyone. Point the platform, facing all the people and soldiers in the entire Fort Pingxi!

quiet!

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, and looked at the majestic old man above with a serious face.

a long time.

Xu Guangqi finally spoke slowly.

"My fellow citizens of the Ming Dynasty, my official is Xu Guangqi, the elder of the cabinet. It is a great honor to meet you here today."

A whispered discussion resounded from the audience:

"Hey, what kind of official is this cabinet always? Is it big?"

"Tch, you don't even know that, the old man in the cabinet is a very big official. I heard from the money shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn that he is the best official in the entire Ming Dynasty."

"How big is that official?"

"Uh... I don't know..."

"..."

"All right, all right, I'll tell you two people who don't know much, this veteran cabinet official is actually not very big, only rank five..."

"Ah! Only rank five! Isn't that the same as defending? Does he talk and take care of things?"

"Hey! Why are you interrupting me? I haven't finished yet. Although this cabinet boss is only a fifth-rank official, they have great power."

"How to say?"

"Hehe, you don't know that I'm telling you that all the memorials of the entire Ming Dynasty must be approved by the cabinet elders before they are sent to His Majesty, and after His Majesty makes a decision, the cabinet elders must agree to the decree." To form an imperial decree, just say it, is this right awesome?"

"What, the emperor's words need their consent to be effective? Awesome! Awesome! Of course it is awesome!"

"That's why. This cabinet is not high-ranking, but it is already the pinnacle of officials in the entire Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the left and right prime ministers when there were prime ministers before."

"Hiss! I understand when you say that! It turns out that he is the Prime Minister of Daming!"

"No, no, our Ming Dynasty has no prime minister since Taizu, they are the cabinet..."

"Cut, this right, isn't that still the prime minister?"

"..."

After an explanation by someone with a heart, everyone understood what kind of existence this cabinet always was, and the trust in Xu Guangqi in their hearts also soared to the limit.

This is our Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty!What he said must mean something, our Pingxi Fort finally has a blue sky who can avenge our grievances!
Hmm... Qingtian is not sure yet, but at last someone can take care of this lawless defense!This is the prime minister, forgive Zheng Shoubei, no matter how good he is, he is not as good as a prime minister!

The people were discussing in the audience, although Xu Guangqi was old, but his eyes were not yet dim, he could hear clearly what the people in the audience said, and the expression on his face also changed for a while.

Aside, Xu Yongda looked at this scene with a smug expression, Zheng Fangping's name in Xiping Fort is rotten to the bottom!

Even the military spirit is on his side, this wave is the flying dragon riding on the face, can he lose?Just kidding!
In Xu Yongda's view, he only needs to wait for a while, and Zheng Fangping, the current defender, will become his predecessor, and he can also become the next defender of Xiping Fort under everyone's expectations. After Xu Guangqi is fooled away This Xiping Fort is his world.

On the other side of Xu Guangqi, Zheng Fangping, the current guard, listened to the discussions of the people in the audience, his face turned blue and white. From time to time, he secretly glanced at Xu Guangqi, who had the same face changing constantly, and secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, cursing secretly. One voice: "They are all troublemakers!"

Xu Guangqi's face finally regained his composure, he turned his head slightly and glanced sideways at Zheng Fangping, then let out a cold snort from his nostrils.

Zheng Fangping, who was startled by the cold snort, shivered, but could only return a flattering smile.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Guangqi stopped paying attention to the two first and second leaders of Xiping Fort with different expressions around him, turned his head to look at the audience, and immediately said: "You must have heard about the purpose of my official here today. Not long ago, my official Since it was heard in Beijing that it was snowing heavily in winter, the entire Xiping Fort has been in trouble. The people and even the many soldiers guarding Xiping Fort have suffered from hunger and cold.

Hearing this, I was very shocked and puzzled!

Why is this?

This is because, not long after the heavy snow started, today's Holy Son of Heaven had already prepared a batch of disaster relief supplies with a high foresight. The local officials were ordered to rescue the disaster as soon as possible, so that the cold disaster would not hurt the people at all.

Logically speaking, with such a quick disaster relief, even though there are natural disasters, the people should be safe and sound under the careful care of the Holy Son of Heaven, but something happened in Xiping Fort!

Xiping Fort, which had already received supplies, turned out to be the hardest-hit area. The people didn't see any supplies at all. Families were severely damaged by the cold, and what's more, their entire families froze to death in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

Such a scene, to the Holy Son of Heaven, to the old man, a cabinet minister, is like a heavy slap on the faces of us parents and officials!

Everyone!This time it is Daming who has failed you all. Although it is useless, today the Xu court apologizes to you! "

After saying that, Xu Guangqi immediately bowed deeply to the people in the audience!
boom!
The scene was silent for a moment, and the silent scene exploded after a moment.

Shouts of exclamation instantly resounded throughout the training ground, and everyone looked at the majestic old man on the stage who was bowing deeply to them with unbelievable eyes.

This is the elder of the court, who is equivalent to the former prime minister!

today, now!
He actually bowed like them, Guizhou heads who are like weeds!

What a shock!
For all the people present, it seemed like they were experiencing an absurd dream!
Xu Yongda and Zheng Fangping, two people around Xu Guangqi, were shocked by Xu Guangqi's actions and almost fell down.

Subconsciously, Zheng Fangping wanted to step forward to help Xu Guangqi, but was held back by the master at the side. Zheng Fangping looked back at him suspiciously, but Master Zhang just shook his head slightly, signaling his master not to act rashly.

Zheng Fangping is a person who is very good at doing good things, so Dang even resisted the impulse and did not go forward.

On the other side, Xu Yongda rushed up, forced Xu Guangqi up, and hurriedly said, "Ge Lao! Ge Lao! Why do you do this? What is your identity? How can you behave to these common people?" This great gift?"

Xu Guangqi straightened up, but the next moment after listening to his words, he kicked directly at him.

Xu Yongda is a military commander after all, how can Xu Guangqi be able to dodge the attack of a literati old man? Kicked on himself, kicked himself straight down!

"Presumptuous! What is the status of this old man? Why can't the common people bear the ceremony of this old man? The old man is just a mere official who is chosen by the emperor and supported by the people to do things for the common people. Is it a gift?
Could it be that you have forgotten what Lord Hongwu said, you eat and you eat, the people are fat and the people are anointed!
When I receive the support of the people, I should plead for the people and love the people as my parents. What kind of virtue and ability do you have, thinking that I can surpass my parents! "

Xu Guangqi's words once again stunned everyone present, everyone looked at him in shock, Xu Guangqi's words echoed in their ears, and all kinds of feelings came to their hearts for a moment.

Tears rolled down the faces of the people unconsciously.

Xu Yongda, who was kicked down, was directly stunned.

He didn't understand why things suddenly became like this.

no!I'll just give you a hand, at most I'll just say a few more words, so why are you going online like this?
It's fine to kick me in public, but you still scold me like this in front of everyone, I am a dignified garrison general, even if there is an adverb in front, don't I need to save face!
I... I am wronged!
