The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 836 Chongzhen's Heart Is Trembling

The Ming civil and military who came to see Chongzhen the next day had a clear distinction. Except for the dozens of royalists headed by Ni Yuanlu, the few hundred forced palace factions headed by Wu Xiang, and the wall-riding faction all hid.

Although the size of the palace meeting hall on Huangjiawan Island is not small, it cannot accommodate more than 1000 civil servants and military generals. Many low-level civil and military officers cannot enter and can only stand outside the door.

After more than a month, Chongzhen's mentality was very different. He had already learned from the sidelines that the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty basically decided to defect to the Southern King. .

Just like the court meeting in the Forbidden City, the ministers saluted and stood in civil and military positions. Wu Xiang took the lead in attacking and openly asked Chongzhen Chan to abdicate the throne to King Nan.

Then there was the sensational performance, Wu Xiang was the first to kneel down with tears, there was a big decision of who would go to hell if I didn't, and the tall man who didn't care about personal fame for the sake of the common people.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Pu, Tang Tong... Finally, the hall and outside the hall knelt on the ground. There were only about forty civil and military people still standing, which may be less than 5.00% of the total number.

At this moment, Chongzhen's heart was trembling. He knew that the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty would change course, but he did not expect the proportion of the number of people to be so high.

There is no point in complaining about these civil and military differences. Thinking about his 17 years in power, he really has no remarkable kindness to officials, soldiers and civilians.

Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen and other ministers were furious. They yelled at the courtiers on the spot, and each of them stood on the high ground of morality.

Wu Xiang, Wang Pu, Liang Tingdong, etc. have endured these ministers who like to talk about things and are helpless at the end of the day for a long time.

The temporary court hall suddenly turned into a martial arts arena. For a while, shoes flew around and hats danced in a mess.

Wu Xiang, Wang Pu, etc. were all military generals, and they had been bullied by these civil servants who were from the top two ranks. Today, they had the opportunity to fight, and it really hurt the royalists headed by Ni Yuanlu and Fan Jingwen.

It is a tradition for officials of the Ming Dynasty to fight in the court, but military generals never participated. Today's scuffle was the first of its kind, and there were no fewer than 100 civil servants and military generals throwing old punches.

Chongzhen shouted so hoarse that he couldn't stop the scuffling civil and military forces. Fortunately, at this time, Cheng Dashi and Liu Guozheng led dozens of special forces to persuade the fight in time.

Dozens of ministers who fought vigorously were like urchins in the hands of special forces, and their hands were quickly controlled.

But they were still fighting high, launching long-range attacks, spitting and flying towards the opponent's face...

How to discuss state affairs in such a chaotic scene?Li Xihan escorted Chongzhen back to the inner courtyard, so the forced palace naturally ended in vain.

Many ministers also hung up the lottery, some ministers' clothes were torn, some hats were missing, and some shoes fell off...

well!Disgraceful!Many civil servants involved in the fight hid their faces and left the messy chamber.

Chongzhen, who returned to the inner courtyard, was depressed, and the virtuous Empress Zhou had already known the cause and effect. She said quietly: "Your Majesty, I have been in the 'Nanming' for half a year. Even the thieves who plundered Daming couldn't resist it."

With tears in Chongzhen's eyes, he said in a hoarse voice: "Is the foundation of the ancestors going to be ruined in my hands?"

"Hey! The matter has come to this point, Your Majesty still needs to think about it! Would you like to send my son to talk, and if you have any requirements, you can ask my son to pass a message to Nanwang."

"How is Nanwang treating my daughter?"

"Very good, pampered like a pearl in the palm of your hand!"

"This child is really blessed. If it wasn't for her marrying Nan Wang, many things would be unpredictable!"

Zhou Hou saw that the emperor's tone had softened, and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine will arrange for a messenger to come here."

Kun Xing didn't know about the fact that civil and military officials forced the palace. She had already arrived in the inner courtyard and was waiting to meet with her father to give comfort, and she appeared in front of the desolate Chongzhen in a short while.

Seeing that there are so many civil servants and military generals who openly forced him to Zen, and seeing that only a group of Qingliu who have no real power and only talk about him are still supporting him, Chongzhen was completely discouraged. He talked with Kunxing for several days...

After each conversation, Kun Xing would hand over the secret documents to Li Xihan, and then a speedboat would send these secret documents to Lushunkou.

Lushunkou has been in business for a small year. Due to the timely capital investment of "Nanming", the Liao people who are hungry for food and clothing have got rid of the fate of being slaves and burst out with infinite enthusiasm for work. This geographically important seaport city is changing with each passing day.

Merchants from "Nanming" came here in droves. Many shops on the street were selling southern goods, and there were also many merchants who bought special products of Liaodong, such as velvet antler, ginseng, and mink fur.

Less than half of the concrete roads from Lvshunkou to Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou to Shenyangwei have been repaired, and it is expected that the whole line will be completed before the frost this year.

Knowing that the King of the South has come to Lushunkou again, the people of Liao who have been freed and are able to eat and live on the road to a well-off life rushed to tell the news. The moment the King of the South landed, the people of the port shouted long live!Long live!

The former officials of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of the original Dongjiang Town who rebelled all knelt down and prostrated nine times.

Huang Sheng walked calmly onto the clean pier, and said loudly, "Your honor is flat! Soldiers and civilians please get up!"

The civil and military forces of the "Nanming" headed by Hu Jianfeng, Huang Donghai, Wang Ruhai, etc. stood up happily. Everyone could see the attitude of the "Nanming" kingdom. In the future, the "Nanming" kingdom should be upgraded to the Ming Empire.

The Dongjiang generals headed by Shang Keyi all looked sincere and fearful. This year they saw the strength of "Nanming" with their own eyes.

Their repeated requests to carry out military missions have been rejected on the grounds that the army has not been thoroughly reformed, and its combat effectiveness and ideological awareness cannot meet the standards for carrying out the missions.

Huang Sheng glanced at the officials, and warned with a smile: "No matter how big the country is, or how many subjects it governs, the Han nationality must not be weak-kneeded. Remember, no one is allowed to kneel and salute on non-ceremonial occasions in the future! Especially soldiers, How can there be such lofty aspirations to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger when the bones are weak?"

Kneeling and kowtowing was regarded by the Nan Wang as soft bones, and the original "Nanming" civil and military felt wronged, secretly cursing that they were harmed by those soft bones.

All the Han people on the wharf heard Huang Sheng's words, and everyone held their heads high. The sense of honor of the Han nation made them feel passionate, and they wished they could immediately rush to the battlefield for the country.
