Games come to all worlds.

Chapter 96 Chongzhen is hard!

"Hey, there are so few people in the store today."

"Zhu'er is here." Li Shimin saw him, with a smile on his face, beckoning him to come and have breakfast, and said: "The Three Kingdoms are fighting fiercely, and you haven't been here for a while. How is the battle going?"

Li Tong sat over with a happy face and said excitedly: "After defeating Zhu Wen's remnants, I did not return to the court to rest. Instead, I led the army to the west, preparing to open up the Hexi Corridor and allow the Guiyi Army to return to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that other Jiedu envoys will rebel and attack Luoyang and seize the Tang Dynasty while you are away?"

"Don't be afraid!" Li Zhe said with a look of confidence on his face: "The place where I am is the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hahaha, well said!"

Li Shimin was very happy. Now Li Jue was simply his favorite heir. If Chengqian were half as good as Li Jue in the future, he would laugh out loud in his dreams.

But the expression will not be too exaggerated, and he will still act like an elder, caring and reminding:

"Remember, when the army goes on an expedition, the food and grass must be taken care of. If the logistics can't keep up, you can rest for a while. You just happen to be blessed with activity rewards, so you can replenish it quickly."

"Well! Don't worry, Taizong. Zhu and Wen's remnant party have a lot of food and grass, enough for me to penetrate the Hexi Corridor." Li Tie was eating breakfast, suddenly thought of something, and continued:
"The other Jiedu envoys should have received the news that I personally defeated Zhu Wen, but I don't know how many of them will still listen to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, there will definitely be Jiedu envoys who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. After the loyalties and traitors are confirmed, we will study the strategic route!"

"Ok!"

After that, Li Shimin taught Li Tong some things on the battlefield, and the two chatted happily, making the people next to them very envious!

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Zhao Ji and Zhu Youjian beside them, and sighed silently.

It's so frustrating that people are so different from each other. They are both the last emperors, so why is there such a big gap!
Zhao Ji felt something was wrong with Taizu's aura, and he felt like he was going to practice Taizu's Changquan with him in the next second, so he immediately said:

"Taizu, we are not weak either. Yue Fei has defeated Jin Bing three times in a row and will regain Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, just around the corner!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "That's Yue Fei's credit. What did you do?"

Zhao Ji said aggrievedly: "I have done a lot. I cut down all the people in the government who dared to impeach Yue Fei. I took care of the food and grass every day, not even a grain of rice was missing. Without me, his Northern Expedition would not be successful." It goes so well."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was quite satisfied. Although he was not as good as Li Jue, it was okay.

He took a bun, put it in front of Zhao Ji, and said, "Eat more."

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was so angry that he couldn't eat anymore. Forget it, Li Tong couldn't compare. Now it seems that even Zhao Ji can't compare.

"What about you! What have you done?"

Zhu Youjian took a few steps back. Empress Ma was not here today, and Li En was not here either. No one could save him.

"I have transferred Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting back. They will probably arrive today. Once they arrive, I will personally take them to search the capital!"

"Really? I hope we can see your wonderful video tonight, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well."

"Don't worry, Taizu, I am very determined this time!"

"Hmph, let's wait and see!"

……

Coming out of the game room, Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, "Here comes someone!"

Eunuch Wang Chengen walked in immediately, and before Zhu Youjian could continue to ask questions, he said:
"Your Majesty, the two adults have arrived outside the city."

"Really? Ring the bell and announce that the minister will come to court."

"Yes!"

"You go too."

Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, but nodded.

But he was still a little nervous. He didn't understand why the emperor asked him to go to court. Could it be that someone had recently impeached him?

Now Wang Cheng'en is the Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, with a very high status, second only to the Duke of Dongchang. However, in fact, he does not have much real power. If he is impeached, it will be quite troublesome.

Zhu Youjian didn't care what he was thinking. When he walked outside, the sky was clear, but he always felt that there was a large dark cloud hanging above his head, lingering!
Daming, this big tree is rotten, he has to admit it.

But Daming’s roots are not rotten, he is not rotten yet, so even if he has to cut off everything above the roots, he still wants to keep the last little seedling of Daming!
But after all, they are a group of veterans, and Zhu Youjian wants to give them one last chance, and this is the only one!
In the Forbidden City, civil and military officials hurried towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony and found two more people in front of the door, one of whom looked familiar.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Sun?"

Sun Chuanting was awarded Jinshi at the age of 27. Because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's power in the government and the opposition, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. It was only two or three years ago, so the ministers still know him.

"Master Zhou." Sun Chuanting simply greeted him. Even though the person opposite him was now the chief minister of the cabinet, he did not give him a good look.

"Humph!"

Hearing Sun Chuanting's perfunctory voice, Zhou Yanru snorted coldly and walked in. Seeing this, the other ministers did not dare to say hello to Sun Chuanting anymore and quickly followed in.

Sun Chuanting didn't care either. He was used to this situation.

I think back then, he left because he couldn't stand Wei Zhongxian.

I thought that the emperor's killing of Wei Zhongxian was not considered foolish, but when he saw the court today, hey, there was not much change, it was just a different person.

After a while, the voices of the ministers shouting "long live our emperor" came from inside, and the two of them were also invited in.

In fact, at this time, the keen minister had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, because this time during the morning court, even Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji, two foreign relatives and earls, called over.

"Be flat!"

"Long live thanks!" When the ministers looked at each other, Zhu Youjian did not mince words and said directly: "I am preparing to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin. I wonder which Qing family dares to take this responsibility?"

When Yuan Chonghuan saw this, he didn't think much about it, because he knew the emperor's intention before he came, so he stood up directly and said: "Go back to the emperor, I am willing to go!"

"If the emperor's false ministers gain advantage, in five years the east can be razed and the entire Liao can be restored!"

"too long."

"Um... ah?"

Not only Yuan Chonghuan, but other ministers were also confused.

The Jin army was so powerful that even Mongolia had to retreat. In fact, they didn't believe Yuan Chonghuan said that he would recover Liaodong in five years, but the emperor actually said it took too long. Is he... crazy?
Zhu Youjian glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and emphasized again, "I! What I'm talking about is using troops against the Jin Kingdom and destroying them! It's not just about recovering Liaodong!"

"This……"

Yuan Chonghuan was sweating on his forehead. He could feel Zhu Youjian's determination, but he really had no confidence in himself. For five years, he had been fighting to the death.

At this time, in order to sell Yuan Chonghuan a favor, Zhou Yanru stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury has been empty due to successive years of great disasters. If we continue to use troops abroad, we may damage the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"

Other ministers also came out to echo Zhou Yanru's words.

Zhu Youjian sneered and said: "Of course I know, so for the safety of the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, all of you, dear friends, must do more."

This was the second time Zhu Youjian asked the minister for money, so they understood the meaning of this sentence as soon as they heard it.

Zhou Kui did not hide the boredom in his eyes.

Here comes asking for money again, this son-in-law is really a coward!

There were also discussions in the court. If you don't compete with the people for profit, what does it mean that the emperor asks big guys for money every day?
There was no need to discuss it in advance, and everyone started to cry about poverty. Each one was more cruel than the other, saying that he was worse off than the beggar on the street.

Every time they said a word, Zhu Youjian's heart became colder. It wasn't until a tear dropped from the corner of his eye that his heart became completely cold.

"Come on."

Zhu Youjian said this very softly, and only Wang Chengen beside him heard it, so he immediately repeated it loudly.

"Come on!"

Outside the door, the guards in hundreds of brocade uniforms were ready and walked into the court room fully armed. In an instant, there was silence.

Zhu Youjian was tired and his tone was not high.

"Luo Yangxing."

"Chen is here!"

"I designate you as the Commander of the Imperial Guards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Wang Chengen."

"The slave is here!"

"I make you the Duke of Dongchang. I hope that the two of you will cooperate well and avoid any gaps."

"Yes!"

Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing looked at each other and found that the other person was shaking a little. Yes, they were afraid.

The emperor actually let Dongchang and Jinyiwei live in harmony. This Ming Dynasty is really going to change.

Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, stood up and said seriously: "You two will lead the troops and search the money and money in the homes of all the civil and military officials. Don't miss even a penny. After counting, hand over the accounts to I. Before that, no one is allowed to leave. If anyone dares to take a step forward, they will be beheaded immediately!"

The two of them were shocked, but they quickly said: "Yes!"

After that, no matter how many civil and military officials cried and begged for mercy, Zhu Youjian did not even look at them. As the emperor's father-in-law, Zhou Kui wanted to follow up and say something, but was stopped by the Jin Yiwei.

"I've blinded you! You don't even know who I am! How dare you stop me!"

Luo Yangxing didn't dare to make a decision for a while. He looked at Zhu Youjian and heard a voice that made him fall into the abyss of extreme cold.

"Commander Luo, if you are not qualified, I can replace you."

Hearing these words, Luo Yangxing didn't dare to hesitate, his eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Draw the sword!"

All the royal guards drew their sabers from their waists.

"Any minister who dares to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony will be beheaded!"

This time, there was no Jin Yiwei to stop Zhou Kui, but he looked at the shining long knife, swallowed his saliva, and took a few steps back in fear.

Seeing this situation, the ministers did not dare to make any mistakes again and stayed where they were, waiting for their fate.

Of course, they didn't actually believe it. The emperor dared to kill them all, but he just didn't want to be the first to stand out.

Zhu Youjian turned around and left, and said while carrying his back: "Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng, the three of you come with me."

After walking a few steps, I found that they didn't follow me, so I emphasized: "Hurry up!"

"Yes…"

The momentum just now was so terrifying that the three of them waited for the emperor to say it a second time before following him.

It's not that I'm afraid that I won't hear, but I'm afraid that these Jin Yiwei won't hear and will chop them down with a knife. When the time comes, there will be no room for reasoning!
