Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 6

On Yinshi on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, the Jingyang Bell rang loudly, and the sound of the bell reverberated in the sky above the capital.

When the civil and military officials came to the Wuying Hall, they saw that the hall was brightly lit, and the emperor had already arrived, sitting on the dragon chair with majesty.

Without waiting for the officials to kneel down, Li Cunming cut to the chase and said, "Dear dears, I plan to move the capital to Nanjing, and this morning it will be..."

Before the words were finished, the officials exploded and began to discuss in low voices.

Immediately, Guang Shiheng stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not move the capital! Now that the country is in decline and people's hearts are in danger, the Emperor is the Lord of China, so he should guard China; for Zhaomin's parents, If you are the master of the Mausoleum Temple, then you should be the guardian of the Mausoleum Temple; and Zhou Ping and Song Gao's dirty tricks are not something to hear about."

As soon as this remark came out, the response was like thunder, and the crowd was excited.

Dongge University scholar Fan Jingwen burst into tears, and said righteously: "My Ming dynasty came to guard the gate of the country, and the king died in the country. The only thing the emperor insists on is to follow the righteousness of death!"

What's more, some people were already prostrate on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and some people had their heads broken and bleeding.

Li Cunming sneered secretly. He knew that there would be opposition to moving south, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce.

As soon as the officials come up, they put big hats on them, what is for China, for the common people, for the ancestors' mausoleums, why the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies for the country.

One after another big hats were buckled down, it was overwhelming!

The key is that it is difficult to argue. The officials of the Ming Dynasty had no other skills but they were good at seizing the moral high ground and then defying the sky and the earth.

Li Cunming was already prepared, and said calmly: "I invite the emperor's wife."

There was a sound of footsteps, and under the astonished eyes of the officials, the late Emperor Chao Yi'an, Queen Zhang Yan, walked into the palace surrounded by several palace ladies.

Zhang Yan saluted the emperor first, then turned around and glanced at the officials present, and said emotionally: "Since the late emperor passed away 17 years ago, the Ai family has lived in the palace and ignored the important affairs of the country, but today I have something to say."

"When the first emperor was dying, he passed on the son of today, saying, 'My younger brother should be Yao and Shun'. In 17 years, it was like a white horse passing by, and the Ai family watched the emperor's younger brother working day and night to work on state affairs, working hard, and the carefree green youth has become a worried king. .”

"Your Majesty saves money on food and clothing, and does not seek pleasure. It has been like a day for 17 years. Read through the annals of history, how many emperors like this have existed since ancient times?"

"However, God's will is unpredictable. The emperor has the aptitude to be Yao and Shun, but from the very beginning of his ascension, internal and external troubles and disasters have continued. What do you do?"

"I heard that Li Zicheng's army is heading for the capital. It is a wise move for the emperor to move the capital to Nanjing immediately. All the ministers are well-read people. Haven't you heard the saying 'If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood'?" ?”

The words were affectionate, and the hall fell into silence.

Li Cunming took the opportunity to say: "I know the thoughts of all my ministers. You are just worried that after moving south, the capital will fall and the mausoleums and ancestral temples will be destroyed. One day I will blame you. I will say it frankly today, Wanfang is guilty, guilty. In my honor, all the consequences of moving south will be borne by me alone!"

In history, Chongzhen was responsible for a large part of the reason why he and his courtiers were in a situation of alienation.

The reason is simple. Emperor Chongzhen had a good face, and he wanted to be a wise emperor like Yao, Shun and Yu soup. He had a heavy mental burden, or he had a serious mental cleanliness addiction.

As a result, once something went wrong, Chongzhen was unwilling to take responsibility, and often let the ministers take the blame.Over time, naturally no one dared to do anything.

As a leader, the ability is still second, the most important thing is to dare to take responsibility and take the blame, so that the subordinates will work hard!

Hearing what the emperor said, the ministers were in a daze, feeling that the emperor seemed to be a different person.

In addition, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan had a reputation as a virtuous person, and the ministers admired her very much.In order to move south, the emperor also moved Queen Yi'an out, which shows his great determination.

Many people began to change their stance. Under the leadership of Jiang Dejing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Li Banghua, the Censor of Zuodu, they loudly shouted: "I agree to move south and swear to follow Your Majesty to the death!"

Guang Shiheng was still singing the opposite tune: "Your Majesty, don't do it. Moving south at this time is equivalent to fleeing in the face of the wind. It will shake the hearts of the army and the people. The king is dead..."

Dead ass, dead teammates don't die poor!
"It's a good king who dies in Sheji. I'm here to ask you, if I die, what will happen to Jiangshan Sheji?"

Li Cunming was really impatient and narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, Guang Shiheng and Fan Jingwen are very talented, they are strong-willed men. Come and guard the country for me and die for me!"

"Xuanzhi, confer Fan Jingwen as the supervisor of the capital and lead the scholar of the Wuying Temple, confer the title of Guang Shiheng as the prince Shaobao and the minister of the military department, and order the two of you to guard the capital. No pardon!"

Guang Shiheng and Fan Jingwen were dumbfounded, the emperor's move was too cruel.

Everyone else could flee south, but they were left to wait for death in the capital, using each other's spears to attack each other's shields. How impassioned they were before, they were now in so much misery.

"Ding, get Guang Shiheng's negative emotion value 5000"

"Ding, get Fan Jingwen's negative emotion value of 2000"

"I will obey your orders!" The rest of the ministers hurriedly received the order, for fear of being left behind to guard the capital.

"Fan Jingwen, I wrote a letter to Li Zicheng. When he comes to the capital, you hand it to him. Maybe it will save your life." Li Cunming took out a letter.

Fan Jingwen wept bitterly and said: "I will keep it in my heart, I hope that the Holy One will be safe, and I hope that God will bless my Ming Dynasty!"

"Sister-in-law Huang, hurry up and prepare, Sishizhen is waiting for you at the Meridian Gate." Li Cunming looked at Zhang Yan and smiled gratefully.

Zhang Yan nodded, but for some reason, her face looked a little dignified.

……

At the beginning of Sishi, accompanied by Wang Chengen and Gong Yonggu, Li Cunming appeared on the Meridian Gate tower on time.

The army outside the Meridian Gate was purged, and the banners were flying.Luanjia was ready, and the palace people, including the queen, prince, and Chen Yuanyuan, were also well arranged and guarded.

Li Cunming looked around and was very satisfied.It took only three days for Wang Chengen, Zhou Yuji, Gong Yonggu, and Liu Wenbing to arrange everything in an orderly and decent manner, which was really hard for them.

"My lord, it's time to read the edict of moving south." Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice.

"Why didn't I see the car of the emperor's sister-in-law? Is it still in the palace?" Li Cunming asked.

Wang Cheng'en said: "The old slave personally went to Renshou Hall to invite Empress Yi'an to drive."

Just as they were talking, a little maid cried and shouted all the way, and rushed to the downstairs of the Meridian Gate: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Empress Zhang hanged herself and died for the country!"

"What?" Li Cunming was shocked.

The little palace maid was brought to the tower, holding a piece of white cloth in her hand, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, when Empress Zhang was dying, she asked her servant to tell you that she said that the burden of the country and the country rests on the shoulders of the Emperor alone. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty!"

Li Cunming took the white cloth, but saw eight big bloody characters:
Regroup and restore my country!
"Sister-in-law of the emperor..." Li Cunming turned to face the direction of Renshou Hall, and couldn't help crying with tears rolling down his face.

17 years ago, when Emperor Tianqi was ill, Wei Zhongxian and Keshi plotted against each other. They wanted to find a newborn baby boy to be adopted by Zhang Yan, but she refused.

Zhang Yan not only refused to cooperate with Wei Zhongxian, but also repeatedly persuaded Emperor Tianqi, and finally let Tianqi pass the throne to Chongzhen.

On the night when Tianqi died and Chongzhen entered the palace, Zhang Yan specifically reminded him not to eat palace food and to be careful of Wei Zhongxian.

It can be said that without Zhang Yan's hard work, Chongzhen would not be able to ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord!

"Sister-in-law, I am ashamed of you!" Li Cunming gripped the handkerchief tightly, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

After standing up, there were no tears in his eyes, and his expression was solemn.

After reading the edict of moving to the south, Li Cunming's eyes were firm and deep, and he waved and shouted: "Let's go!"
