"Who is it? Who is it?"
After 15 minutes, Zhu Youjian asked the first question.
"Chu…Chu Feng!"
Qian Longxi gritted his teeth and raised his head.""General Qin and Commander Wu fought hard to kill the enemy, but…they were outnumbered. The two generals…I think the generals have most likely…most likely died for their country…"
"Then how did you come back?"
Zhu Youjian's pupils narrowed into a line as he asked word by word.
"It was the two generals who risked their lives to protect the guilty minister, Your Majesty…"
Qian Longxi swallowed his saliva in fear.""General Qin insisted on protecting me and fighting my way out of the encirclement. I…I didn't want to return, but…I didn't want to waste General Qin's heart!”
"You sure know how to talk."
Zhu Youjian was so angry that he laughed and said,"" Pavilion Elder Qian, you're really my beloved minister, my powerful minister. Take a look…Take a look…"
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian suddenly raised his head and roared hysterically,""All of you are filled with righteous indignation in this high hall every day, and you keep saying things like pacifying the world and ensuring the stability of the empire. Are these the officials that you trust for me, for the Ming Dynasty, and for all the people in the world day and night?”
“……”
In the past three years.
This was the first time they had seen Zhu Youjian so furious.
No one dared to speak. They lowered their heads and bent over, cursing Qian Longxi and his family in their hearts.
Damn it, if it wasn't for this trash, would he have implicated her?
"You say that you are for the country and the people, and you say that you are not afraid of life and death. When there is war, you directly become a coward and abandon tens of thousands of soldiers.”
Zhu Youjian was in despair.
First it was Huang Taiji, then it was Chu Feng. Two times in a row, he had killed his way to his doorstep.
The defense line at the pass would be useless, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty would become the back garden of the next enemy.
Qian Longxi fell silent.
He lay on the ground, his butt sticking up high, not making a sound.
If one listened carefully, one might be able to hear a faint sob.
He was scared!
He was very clear about his crimes. The lightest was beheading, and the heaviest was enough to implicate his entire family.
"Can you still sit still?"
Zhu Youjian put his hands behind his back and walked down the steps. He paced back and forth in front of the officials, cursing and mocking,"The capital is in a precarious situation. Emperor Chengzu used to guard the country as the Son of Heaven, but now, do you want me to lose half of the country?”
"The Manchu Eight Banners invaded the border, forcing the people to have no place to live, forcing Liaodong and even the entire border to be lost…"
" Now that Huang Taiji is about to enter the pass, Chu Feng suddenly appeared, claiming to have 150,000 strong soldiers and strong horses…"
"My overseer Yuan is afraid, my border general is at a loss…"
"Forget it! This is my beloved minister, an important minister who assists the government. I will let him be the prime minister outside the Great Wall and have full authority…"
"We trusted him so much and placed him in such an important position. We disregarded the safety of the capital and transferred thirty thousand soldiers from the capital camp to this beloved minister…"
" Two…two days later, before we could even leave our home, we were killed by the enemy in our territory and fled in a sorry state…"
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
At this point, Zhu Youjian was completely furious. He overturned the entire Dragon Case on the spot, and the heavy Yuxi rolled down the steps.
Fortunately, the steps in front of the dragon throne were carpeted, so there was not much damage.
"Your Majesty-"
Seeing this scene, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries knelt down and wailed.
"Emperor Taizu was born in a commoner's family. He pacified the chaotic world of the Nine Provinces, expelled the Tartar aliens, and established his country in the Ming Dynasty.”
" Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to this place. He should use his body to defend the country. He should spend his entire life on the battlefield, conquering the grasslands seven times and protecting the mountains and rivers of the northern country…"
" Emperor Xuanzong created the rule of benevolence and righteousness, Emperor Shizong created the revival of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Daizong worked hard to make the Ming Dynasty safe…"
"Ancestors, if you knew about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, how would you rest in peace? Do you feel guilty?”
She was tired of talking, shouting, and her heart was tired.
Zhu Youjian sat in front of the steps like a stray dog. He laughed at himself and smiled bitterly. This emperor was really a f * cking coward.
"Your…Your Majesty…"
In the end, it was still the cabinet chief Zhou Yanru who stood out, trembling slightly."Although Shengjing City is an enemy, but…but not an alien race. The person called Chu Feng sent troops to encircle Pavilion Elder Qian but did not send troops to the capital.”
"According to Grand Secretary Zhou, only when my head falls can it be considered a crisis for the Ming Dynasty?”
Zhu Youjian asked without raising his head.
"I…I didn't mean that."
Zhou Yanru swallowed his saliva in embarrassment.""During the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was greedy for pleasure and wanted the palace, which forced the empire to be buried. Now that His Majesty was doing everything himself and was conscientious and conscientious, and the Han people were controlling the outside of the pass, if he could recruit Chu Feng, the threat of Houjin would be eliminated.”
"How?" "Should I send my soldiers to be slaughtered again?" Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly.”
"Your Majesty, Chu Feng seized Shengjing City, slaughtered countless children of Aisin Gioro, and seized the women of Houjin. This is an irreconcilable grudge.”
Zhou Yanru did not care anymore and continued,""Chu Feng would definitely not be in a deadlock with Great Ming. That way, he would be attacked from both sides and would be in danger. If they failed to recruit him, they could form an alliance and also ensure the safety of Great Ming.”
Zhu Youjian stopped talking.
After the anger, what was left was calmness.
Zhou Yanru was right, the enemy of an enemy was a friend, forming an alliance with Chu Feng and pacifying the Eight Banners of Houjin Manmeng was the only solution.
Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice.
He couldn't possibly follow the example of the Song Dynasty and move the capital south, right?
Zhu Youjian could not do such a thing. He would rather commit suicide.
"Pavilion Elder Qian…"
Seeing that the Emperor was quiet, Zhou Yanru immediately asked,""When Chu Feng let you return, did he mention any conditions?”
"Grand Secretary Zhou, I…I was saved by General Qin…"
"Pavilion Elder Qian, this concerns the safety of the country. Are you really determined not to say anything?”
Everyone here was smart. Qian Longxi's trick had been seen through long ago, but they didn't care about it.
Qian Longxi was like a deflated ball. He looked at the Emperor in fear and continued to kneel." Your…Your Majesty, Chu…Chu Feng's conditions are just as…just as Overseer Yuan's letter said. He…he insists on…marrying Princess Changping. He…he also wants me to…to tell Your Majesty…"
"Don't hesitate!"
Zhu Youjian's patience was running out.
"Chu Feng told me that if…if His Majesty is not willing to betroth…betroth the princess to him, also…also…"
"How is it?"
Zhu Youjian frowned and listened with his heart in his mouth.
Qian Longxi gritted his teeth and said,""You can also send Empress Yi 'an outside the pass.”
