At the end of Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Palace.

The nominal supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in his 95th year, sat high on the dragon chair, holding a letter of eight hundred miles and looking at it with a solemn face.

The nobles from all over the court were lined up on the left and right, all with their eyes lowered and their heads bowed in a sign of submission. moment..

“Snapped!”

Emperor Chongzhen slammed the eight hundred miles in his hand to the ground. He stood up from the dragon throne with a bang and roared and cursed downwards.

“waste! It’s all waste!”

“What use do I need from you trash?”

“Eat the emperor’s salary and be loyal to the emperor, have you trash can do it?”

“You asked for people, and I gave them to you. You asked for money, and I frugally scraped and sold iron to get them.

“In the end, this is how you fought for me?

“Minister of the Ministry of War? The chief minister of the cabinet? Look, is this what you told me?”

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty pointed at the devolved courtiers and asked, his voice filled with anger was like a lion roaring.

However, this lion seemed to have had all its teeth stripped off long ago, and the roar of its teeth and claws did not have any deterrent effect.

All the officials in the court, headed by Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, all looked trembling with trepidation and lowered their eyebrows. But in their hearts, they all sneered.

Can’t win the war?

Can’t the elite soldiers of the imperial court stop Li Zicheng’s group of stragglers?

Kaifeng is besieged It has been months but still unable to retreat from the enemy?

These……Can you blame them?

Is it that the civil and military forces of their dynasty are all a bunch of rubbish, or is it that the emperor sitting on the dragon throne is not like a human king?

Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the cabinet: Since Li Xian became the first assistant, Yuming has experienced a total of 74 first assistants until now.

As for the Chongzhen Dynasty, it is only the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the cabinet has already changed 17 chief ministers.

The current chief minister, Zhou Yanru, was even the second one who was promoted after being replaced.

This is the chief minister of the cabinet!

Below one person, above ten thousand people, it can be said that every move can affect the rise and fall of a country.

In this way, it was replaced seventeen times in fifteen years.

On average, the starting assistant is replaced less than once a year.

The newly appointed chief assistant hadn’t settled the relationship between his subordinates yet, so he was replaced in the blink of an eye.

With this kind of tossing method, no matter how capable your reigning chief assistant is, what practical things can he accomplish in the hands of this emperor?

As for Emperor Chongzhen, he could change his chief minister once or even twice a year.

He showed no mercy when he tormented other ministers.

Whenever a civil official did something that displeased the emperor, he would either be dismissed from office or sentenced to death.

Once a general is defeated or unable to win a battle, he will either have his home confiscated and be sentenced to death, or he will be imprisoned in a prison.

The Ming Dynasty is not without talents.

But these talents were either killed by Chongzhen on his own initiative or forced to commit suicide by him. The ones who ended up with the best fate were all sent to prison by him.

With such a court and such an emperor, what else do you want them to do?

Seeing that the emperor was still roaring and yelling from above, it seemed that he might find an unpleasant punching bag from below at any time and chop the emperor to vent his anger.

All the courtiers below behaved more submissively, for fear that whoever made the slightest mistake would be the unlucky one who would be beheaded by the emperor to vent his anger.

But this kind of obedience is full of perfunctory.

In fact, many ministers have secretly planned a way out for themselves.

Can’t really blame them.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was already on the verge of subjugation.

Although I am not a minister of the country’s subjugation.

But you are indeed the king of the subjugation of your country.

After all, according to Emperor Chongzhen’s method of governing the country.

Let alone them courtiers.

Even if the founding heroes such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Shanchang were sent to Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to escape its demise.

As for saying he is diligent and thrifty.

Is diligence useful for an emperor with an abnormal mind?

For an emperor like Chongzhen who didn’t know how to govern the government at all, the more diligent he was, the more mistakes he made, which would make the Ming Dynasty fall faster.

When all the civil and military officials tried their best to deal with Emperor Chongzhen’s anger, they felt sorry for their innocence in their hearts.

Emperor Chongzhen roared, his anger gradually extinguished.

Looking at the docile courtiers below with their lowered eyebrows, he continued to say coldly:

“What are your thoughts?

“You should understand the importance of Kaifeng without me telling you.

“Sun Chuanting, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, I sent so many reinforcements to break the siege, but I still can’t retreat just a Li Zicheng?

“What do my civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and my elite Ming Dynasty people do for food?”

Hearing this, Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru and other civil and military officials immediately shouted in unison:

“Damn it! I am willing to die for His Majesty!”

The voices were extremely neat, and even the tone of voice was completely synchronized.

It was clear that hundreds of officials were shouting in unison, but only one voice could be heard in the entire Fengtian Hall.

Obviously, this was still perfunctory from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

And such perfunctory , they have experienced it more than once, even more than ten or a hundred times.

However, although they shouted that they are willing to be smashed to pieces for His Majesty, in the hearts of the ministers, they kept saying that whoever wants to be smashed to pieces is the evil pen.

In some people’s hearts, they kept saying He sneered:

Why can’t so many reinforcements defeat even one Li Zicheng?

Why can’t so many reinforcements break the siege of Kaifeng?

Why?……Do you, Emperor Chongzhen, really not know?

There are still elites in the Ming Dynasty. After the battle of Songjin, do we still have elites in the Ming Dynasty?

Not even a year has passed since the original Battle of Songjin, but you have begun to selectively forget the specific situation?

Hong Chengchou clearly told you at the beginning that you need to be quiet and move at times, and you need to find opportunities for a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army.

As a result, you insist on not listening, and you can’t wait to be reminded of the imperial edict every day.

If it were another dynasty, the emperor’s orders would still be compromised.

But with the reputation you, Emperor Chongzhen, have created by yourself, anyone who dares to resist will have his head cut off. With your urging, how can people not just rush forward and beat him?

The results of it?

Following your order, 130,000 Ming elites faced 110,000 Qing troops and were beaten and retreated into the city.

At that time, Hong Chengchou led his troops to retreat to the city and sent a message asking for support.

How did you deal with it?

You say there is no reason why the Ming Dynasty’s 130,000 elites cannot defeat the 110,000 Qing army.

You said the advantage lies with Ming Dynasty.

You said it must be Hong Chengchou and other generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not fight with all their strength.

You then passed on the decree, ordering Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou to look for opportunities to fight again, and they must turn the tide, turn defeat into victory, and defeat the Qing army.

Then what?

Reinforcements were not sent when they should have been dispatched immediately.

They were supposed to stick to the city wall and wait for support, but what was waiting for them was an imperial edict telling them to die.

What next?

They rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and all 130,000 Ming elites were wiped out in one battle.

The last elite of the Ming Dynasty……Gone!

Until now, you still ask why the Ming Dynasty’s elite couldn’t defeat Li Zicheng’s group of stragglers?

Haven’t all the elites of the Ming Dynasty already defeated you? Where do the elites come from?

The original Battle of Songjin and today’s Siege of Kaifeng, history once again reappears in your hands.

They were urged day and night, and they were defeated in one battle.

Next, is it going to send another message to Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu to find an opportunity to fight again and go to Li Zicheng to die? have to say……Although the monarch and his ministers are separated.

But these monarchs and ministers in the late Ming Dynasty still had some tacit understanding.

Just when some of the courtiers thought of this, they heard Emperor Chongzhen making a decree:

“Pass on my will and order Sun Chuanting, Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Zeqing to find an opportunity to fight again.

“We must turn the tide, turn defeat into victory, defeat Li Zicheng, and break the siege.”

Officials:”……”

Facts have proven that history does keep repeating itself.

The only lesson their Emperor Chongzhen learned from history was not to learn any lessons.

Therefore, after learning the lessons from the Battle of Songjin, he once again prepared to single-handedly make the situation of the Battle of Songjin happen again in Kaifeng.

I sighed silently in my heart, and all the ministers below shouted in unison,”Your Majesty is wise.”

Forget it!

So be it!

Anyway, we have already found a way out.

Anyway, there is no hope of saving Ming Dynasty.

He can do whatever he wants. (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As for the objection?

How could they develop such a tacit and natural ability to deal with the emperor?

Isn’t it because everyone who dared to oppose has been killed long ago?

Looking at the ministers below, each one looked convinced and shouted His Majesty’s wisdom.

Zhu Youjian felt a little relieved in his heart[]

Yes, he is indeed quite wise.

This group of ministers is quite obedient, much more obedient than the group that was beheaded earlier.

The Ming Dynasty has reached the situation it is in today, all because of the disobedience of those who were killed.

He has a sage will for the country and the people, but those below him insist on obeying it and violating it.

If his strategy of governing the country had been implemented as early as possible, Ming Dynasty would not be in the situation it is today.

Fortunately……As he cleared out the worms hiding among the courtiers one by one, he finally had the court under his control.

With such a group of capable ministers who can be used by him.

I believe it won’t be long before Ming Dynasty can regain ZTE’s situation in his hands.

In Zhu Youjian’s narcissistic self-fantasy, time passed by a cup of tea bit by bit.

Zhu Youjian, who was intoxicated in his self-illusion of being powerful and wise, also realized that something was wrong.

He has already announced the edict, why has there been no movement for so long?

With a sullen face, he said angrily again:”Where are the people? Where did they die?”

The next moment, a deep and majestic voice came from outside Fengtian Hall:

“Zhu Youjian, stop shouting, the entire palace is already under our control.”

In an instant, all civil and military officials in the court changed their minds:

“The rebels have already entered the city?”

“What? Have the rebels taken control of the palace?

“Impossible, why didn’t I hear the killing cry?

“Did the imperial city guard surrender directly?

“But why didn’t anyone come to notify me?”

“King Chuang, spare your life! King Chuang, spare your life! I am willing to surrender! Be willing to surrender!”

“Is it really King Chuang who came in?

“How could it be so fast? I haven’t received any news from here.

“It’s obvious that I haven’t negotiated the terms of surrender, and it’s obvious that King Chuang hasn’t accepted my last request!”

“……”

In Fengtian Hall, everything suddenly became a mess.

Everyone who had not had time to find a way out was panicking, wondering if it was too late to surrender now.

Those who had already found a way out were relatively calm, but everyone looked worried.

The news they got from the correspondence between them and King Chuang was that King Chuang was still besieging Kaifeng City.

How come we were able to reach the capital in the blink of an eye?

Was the news they received false?

Even the news is false, so can the conditions previously negotiated with the other party still count?

Looking at the commotion below, the ministers heard the voices outside threatening to take control of the palace.

Zhu Youjian stumbled on the dragon throne and almost fell to the ground.

Listening to the voices of the courtiers calling for King Chuang to come in one by one.

All he felt was that his eyes were dizzy and he was dizzy..

Thief Li broke into the capital?

Thief Li had already unknowingly taken control of the palace during his time in court?

Is he going to die in the Ming Dynasty?

Has he become the king of the country?

“All courtiers, follow me to kill the enemy!”

Thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

Zhu Youjian was frightened and looked pale and dazed.

But he still did not forget to draw out the sword beside him and shouted to the ministers to kill the enemy with him.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if To subjugate the country, even death……He also wanted to die with integrity and value.

Unfortunately……Not every courtier had his courage.

Therefore, although there are more than a hundred courtiers in Fengtian Palace.

But the number of responders was no more than ten.

The rest……

“Father, don’t worry, the Li thieves are still besieging the city in Kaifeng, and no rebels have entered the capital.”

Just when some ministers in the court had the idea of capturing Emperor Chongzhen and surrendering to the new emperor and were about to take action, the door of Fengtian Palace was pushed open from the outside.

A group of commanders of the Jinyi Guards in flying fish uniforms, Qian Qian, Houses and houses, surrounded by the nine daughters of Emperor Ming Dynasty, Princess Kunxing came in

“No rebels?”

The civil and military officials who were in a mess suddenly became quiet.

One by one, they quickly arranged their clothes and quickly stood back to their original positions, as if nothing had happened just now.

Emperor Chongzhen also let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at him. Shen Si Shui glared at Zhu Weizao fiercely:

“Kunxing, this is the court meeting. Is this where you, a princess, should come?”

“I……”Zhu Weiyao opened her mouth and looked at her father, who had white hair on the temples on the dragon chair. For a moment, he couldn’t bear to say the words he had prepared all the way here.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Youjian on the dragon throne looked even more worried.

It was Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei beside her, who saw that she was reluctant to speak, so he said something on her behalf:

“On the order of Emperor Hongwu, the Supreme Emperor was asked to abdicate and welcome the Queen to the throne.”

Zhu Youjian:”???”

“What did you say?”

Ask him to abdicate?

Welcome the Queen to ascend the throne?

It’s simply……How unreasonable!

In this world, since Wu Zhou, how can there be any reason for the queen to ascend the throne?

What’s more, his Ah Jiu has always been well-behaved, so how could he do something rebellious?

Moreover, Ah Jiu did not have an army under his command, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not be convinced.

Even if he is willing to pass on the throne, how can she take charge of the world?

It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Zhu Youjian felt ridiculous after hearing Mao Xiang’s words.

The civil and military ministers below, who had already regained their composure, couldn’t help but sneer in their hearts after hearing Mao Xiang’s words.

It turned out to be just a daring madman spewing arrogance.

It is true that the ignorant are fearless and do not have any common sense.

What else do you say about inviting the Queen to ascend the throne?

With no soldiers, no horses, no support from hundreds of officials, a little girl who is not yet fourteen years old, what kind of position does she have?

What a joke!

Thinking like this, while feeling relieved, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty became even more angry, as if their ancestors for eighteen generations had suffered serious insults.

“His Majesty! This monster is uttering arrogant words, I ask your majesty to cut him into pieces!”

“Your Majesty, this person, who has no title and no title, dares to go to the palace wearing a flying fish suit. I ask your Majesty to punish his nine tribes!”

“His Majesty! Princess Kunxing brought an unidentified person into the palace, and even broke into the Fengtian Palace without permission to disrupt the court meeting. Please punish her for the crime of gross disrespect!”

“His Majesty……”

“His Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, this monster has deceived the public with his monstrous words and made false claims about great power…….Um? Emperor Hongwu?”

“What happened to Emperor Hongwu? Why don’t you continue?”

A majestic voice sounded from outside the palace, followed by……A figure wearing Emperor Ming’s dragon robe steadily entered the Fengtian Hall.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes fell on the person who came.

The next moment, Zhu Youjian’s expression changed on the dragon chair, he stood up with a swish sound and exclaimed:

“Taizu?!!!”.
