The Taihe Palace was filled with righteous indignation. While they were scolding Chu Feng, they were also pointing the blame at Yuan Chonghuan.
This was the current state of the imperial court at the end of Ming Dynasty.
Personal grudges were above national grudges.
"The 150,000 elites that Overseer Yuan spoke of are still to be verified.”
Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said thoughtfully with a square face,""Your Majesty, does that little brat have any other requests?”
"He wants Princess Changping."
As time passed, Chong Zhen's anger gradually dissipated."Ever since Emperor Taizu established the country, the Darming Dynasty has never paid tribute, allied with each other, or ceded territory. How can I endure such humiliation?”
He couldn't continue.
Yuan Chonghuan's ability was obvious to all.
Other than killing Mao Wenlong and using the capital as bait to allow the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to enter, the other aspects were truly remarkable.
But that was when Wei Zhongxian was alive.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter cannot be underestimated.”
Qian Longxi, the assistant minister of the cabinet, stood up and said,""Putting aside the importance of Liaodong to the outside world, that little brat can command 150,000 troops, but if…if he joins the alliance of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, he will definitely be a huge threat.”
" Pavilion Elder Qian's words are interesting…"
"Could it be that I've fulfilled that brat's wish?" Zhou Yanru sneered. Marry Princess Changping? In this case, how would we put the face of our Darming Dynasty's ancestors?”
"Why is Grand Secretary Zhou so angry?"
" I'm just suggesting that Your Majesty send a special envoy to Shengjing City to represent the court's recruitment," Qian Longxi sighed. On this occasion, we can re-investigate Yuan Chonghuan's dereliction of duty in Jiliao.”
"150,000!"
Chong Zhen muttered to himself as he sat back on the dragon throne."Under the feet of my Son of Heaven, the capital camp only has 150,000 soldiers.”
Everyone knew that the Emperor was still in a bad mood, so no one dared to reply.
The court gradually fell silent as the old men in official robes lowered their heads.
Nurhachi had established the capital in Shengjing and established the Eight Banners of Houjin, which had been a headache for the Darming Dynasty for decades.
Now that the Houjin had not been conquered, Chu Feng had suddenly popped out, claiming that he wanted to establish the capital in Shengjing and become the emperor himself.
Chongzhen could not ignore it.
If it was said that without Chu Feng, he might still be able to deal with the Darming Dynasty that was plagued with internal and external problems.
However, it had suddenly happened, and Yuan Chonghuan's words were filled with fear.
This made Chongzhen very angry!
"Talk? How?"
Finally.
Zhu Youjian finally came back to his senses and stared at Qian Longxi,""Who in the Imperial Court doesn't know about the friendship between Pavilion Elder Qian and Yuan Chonghuan? Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong and the other soldiers. According to what I know, did Yuan Chonghuan communicate with you, Pavilion Elder Qian?”
"Your Majesty…"
Qian Longxi trembled in shock and knelt on the ground.""I swear on the lives of my entire family that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization. I…I really don't know!”
"Pavilion Elder Qian, why are you so afraid?”
" Humph!" Zhu Youjian scoffed." Since you have advised me, I feel that you will be the special envoy for this negotiation."”
"This…"
Qian Longxi felt like a fish bone was stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
"Pavilion Elder Qian, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"This lowly subject accepts your orders."
Qian Longxi compromised.
"Since that's the case, I'll be frank."
Zhu Youjian gradually put away his mocking tone.""Deputy Minister Qian Longxi, I appoint you as the Prime Minister of Shanhaiguan. Not only will you promote the recruitment of Shengjing rebels, but you will also investigate Yuan Chonghuan's abuse of private power and treason.”
“……”
Qian Longxi felt a chill down his spine.
"In addition, I will also send you an assistant.”
Zhu Youjian looked straight ahead and said," Men, pass on my decree. I order Qin Liangyu to lead 30,000 troops outside the pass. He will be the general of the hussars who will recruit the Shengjing rebels."”
Qin Liangyu!
She was a famous female general in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.
She was a strong woman who was not inferior to men.
She was also the prototype of the famous Mu Guiying in history.
"Your Majesty…"
Before Qian Longxi could reply, Zhou Yanru spoke first,"" Qin Liangyu led his army to help the king this time. It was an accident. Now, the rebel Zhang Xianzhong has attacked the land of Ba and Shu. Qin Liangyu was originally from Shu…"
"In that case, is Grand Secretary Zhou willing to appoint the commander of the army?”
Before he could finish, Zhu Youjian coldly retorted.
Immediately, Zhou Yanru shut his mouth resentfully and obediently retreated to the side, no longer making any threats.
"The Darming Dynasty has been established for 300 years. If you are unwilling to become the sinful subjects of a subjugated country, I hope that you can put away your selfish desires.”
Having said that, Zhu Youjian was too lazy to waste any more words. He stood up and walked straight to the back of the hall.
Eunuch Wang Chengen raised his sharp voice and shouted," Dismiss the court." Then, he carried the floating dust and followed his master.
Qian Longxi was still lying on the ground.
He really wanted to slap himself and smash his head against the steps in front of the dragon throne.
But he didn't dare.
He still had elders and children in his family. If he died, his entire family would suffer.
When he was in court, he always reminded himself to avoid problems involving Yuan Chonghuan.
However, despite all his precautions, he still neglected it.
"Pavilion Elder Qian?"
"Lord Qian?"
Zhou Yanru was very cheap. He stretched his head and moved closer to Qian Longxi, pretending to be worried."Your Majesty's orders have not been completed yet. Pavilion Elder Qian, you must take care of yourself!”
After saying that, he straightened his body and left with an upright manner.
…………
Beijing.
Outside Desheng Gate.
Barracks were built with wooden planks, and there were sentry posts on both sides of the tall gates.
On a bright red banner, the word " Qin " was embroidered. The surrounding patterns and patterns were all in the typical Shu embroidery style.
Needless to say, the soldiers here were all from Shu.
In the future, it would be a typical Sichuan army!
"Aunt! Aunt…"
At this moment, a young man rode his horse through the main gate and arrived at the largest tent. He jumped down and entered the tent without even taking off his armor and cloak.
In the tent, other than a wide sand table map, there was a halberd rack full of weapons.
Walking around everything in front of him, he saw a woman sitting at a table in the inner room.
He wore a red tasseled hat and silver armor. He had one hand on the table and the other on a book.
At this moment, it was the famous female general, Qin Liangyu.
His facial features were heroic and elegant. The red cloak was tied around his slender neck, making him look exceptionally handsome.
This image was very similar to Princess Ni Huang in the TV series " Nirvana in Fire "!
