Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 343 Who agrees if I want to be emperor?Who is against?
As for the fear that he would flee to Nanming to join Zhu Yousong, just let him go, run there and then die.

As for the other Jinyiwei, it's easy to handle!Throwing them into the barracks to practice well, and after being screened by each of them, they are put into the ICAC, National Security Bureau, and Xing Prison to serve, which can be regarded as the best use of people.

The next day, from around three o'clock in the middle of the night, officials from the former Ming Dynasty met in twos and threes outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the morning court.

Is it strange?Not surprising at all!
Think about how before Li Zicheng entered the capital, Zhu Youjian could not see a few officials who came to court;
After Li Zicheng entered the capital, these officials obediently handed over the ransom money in order to survive, and Zhu Youjian would not pay a tael of silver anyway. Li Zicheng and the others were afraid!
Then the Dongjiang army who can defeat Li Zicheng in one battle, of course they are even more afraid!
Therefore, after receiving the notice from Sun Chuanting that the morning court was going to be held the next day, these people came to wait outside the Meridian Gate in advance as usual.

So, have so many officials who are qualified to go to the early court come?

The answer is of course 'yes', and those who were upright and unwilling to come also died long after Zhu Youjian hanged himself.

So are these ministers a pity?pity!But Liu Meng is also very helpless!Even if Shen Lian had sent someone to contact them long ago under Liu Meng's order to tell them not to commit suicide, but they couldn't stop them from dying for Emperor Chongzhen!
Since he can't persuade them, Liu Meng will fulfill their reputation of loyalty and die!
Just as these officials were whispering to each other in twos and threes, Sun Chuanting came over with the officials he had contacted yesterday.

Seeing Sun Chuanting's arrival, these officials all knew that Sun Chuanting was the celebrity in front of the new emperor who had not yet enthroned, and they all licked their faces and made close friends.

Sun Chuanting can be regarded as a person who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, so he naturally understands the small thoughts of these people, while dealing with everyone, he secretly sneered and said:

You timid and timid officials who are vegetarians, just wait!After the emperor sits on the throne, he will slowly deal with you. I don't know how many people are about to be beheaded!

But he knew that Liu Meng had detailed information on these officials in Beijing, and these were collected by Shen Lian usually.

There is a clear note on which crimes are heinous and which ones can continue to be used.

The reason why he didn't kill them immediately was that Liu Meng just needed these officials' fans to take over his position. When the situation stabilized, he would deal with them one by one.

Want to find fault with these greedy people, haha!That's just a lot of incriminating evidence!
Besides, do you think they won't be greedy after Liu Meng takes the throne?joke!
As a result of nature, if you are not greedy for money, you are not a "court loyal minister" who single-handedly pushed the Ming Dynasty to its demise!

After waiting for an hour, Liu Meng and Zhu Yuxi also got up, each dressed up and waited for the court.

When the time came, Liu Meng asked the guards outside to notify the court.

Yes, Liu Meng didn't plan to use eunuchs to announce the morning court, just use soldiers.

The next moment, the orders were sent to the soldiers on duty at the Meridian Gate one by one, and they shouted:
"The commander-in-chief has an order, all civil and military officials will go to the pilgrimage to see you!"

Hearing this angry shout, a group of officials were a little uncomfortable, but still followed the previous order, lined up in two rows, holding wat boards, and walked into the Qianqing Palace with solemn expressions.

After all the ministers were in place, Liu Meng and Zhu Yuxi walked out together and walked to the main hall of Qianqing Palace under the notice of the soldiers on duty in the palace.

When the two appeared on the high platform in front of the dragon chair, all the ministers looked at each other from a distance, but no one dared to say that it was against the rules of etiquette.

Liu Meng took Zhu Yuxi's little hand with one hand, and facing all the civil and military officials, said in a quiet but sonorous voice:
"I am Princess Changping's fiancé-in-law, Dongjiang Liu Meng! I want to inherit my father-in-law's throne and be the emperor of tomorrow! Who agrees? Who opposes?"

All the ministers were stunned when they heard the words, and didn't know how to react for a while. Many ministers complained in their hearts:

We all know that you want to be the emperor, and we dare not stop you from being the emperor!But do you want to be so direct?

Shouldn't we, civil and military officials, propose that you sit on the throne after three more invitations and three resignations?You are so impatient and strong, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

Just when these ministers complained and were at a loss, they were selected by Sun Chuanting long ago, and the ministers who agreed to support Liu Meng, under the leadership of Sun Chuanting, knelt down without hesitation and shouted in unison: :
"Your Majesty pays homage to His Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

After the sound fell, these ministers reacted:

The one in the Golden Palace is not the Chongzhen Emperor who was easy to bully and deceive;

It wasn't Li Zicheng, who was ruthless, but didn't look like an emperor;

Instead, he used his own strength to hold the entire Tartars in check for ten years, a fierce man who dared not offend the border!

He is a capable person who feeds the population of several 10 people in Shuangdao by himself!

It was Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun who was defeated in one battle with [-] soldiers, and the ruthless men of hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops!
What are these people like myself?At best, he is just a civil servant who can stand in the court, what qualifications do he have to think so much, some are not!Didn't you see all the officials headed by Sun Chuanting kneeling?What are we waiting for?When the new emperor doesn't want to see him, can he clean himself up?
The remaining officials who wanted to understand these also bowed down in unison. After Sun Chuanting and others, they also shouted the slogan of bowing down to the new emperor.

After hearing everyone's shouts, Liu Meng nodded in satisfaction, and pulled Aimee Zhu to sit on the dragon chair.

Then he waved his hand and said to the civil and military officials:

"Be flat!"

Hearing this, all the officials stood up and shouted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then they all stood up from the ground and looked up to see Liu Meng pulling Aimee Zhu to sit on the throne, many of them felt faintly unhappy.

But before he found out Liu Meng's temperament, he didn't dare to speak out against it.

Liu Meng waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he opened his mouth and said:
"I am enthroned as emperor! The reign name will start next year and be changed to the first year of the new Ming Dynasty! A new cabinet of nine people will be formed. The list of personnel is Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Kong Zhenyun, Xue Guoguan, Fan Fucui, Zhang Sizhi, Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Dejing and myself! "

After the sound fell, all the officials whose names were read in the hall came out to lead the order and thanked them one by one.

For those who are not there, the cabinet will naturally issue a notice to let these people go to Beijing to take up their posts.

Liu Meng continued:
"The responsibility of the nine people is to hold a meeting to deal with the reports reported by officials at all levels, as well as the appointment and removal of officials at all levels!"

All the ministers were horrified when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to speak out against them, but they were thinking in their hearts, how could they go to the homes of these celebrities in front of the new emperor to win over them.
