"I thank you for your kindness!"
The three of them bowed to Zhu Ciao.
"My three beloved ministers, after tomorrow morning's court session, there is still one more thing for you to do.”Zhu Ci said to the three of them.
"We are all ears." The three of them said respectfully.
"It's actually very easy. You guys just have to do it this way…" Zhu Ci Xin smiled.
"What is it? Is Your Majesty really going to do this?"
"Your Majesty, once this matter spreads, Your Majesty will probably become enemies with all the scholars in the world!”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The most important thing now was to protect the capital. It wouldn't be too late to do such a thing after defeating the raiders!”
After hearing what Zhu Ci Xin had told them, the three of them spoke in unison and urged him to take back his order.
"My three beloved ministers, there is no need to worry. The so-called crisis was the opportunity contained in the danger. Desperate times called for desperate measures. These stubborn diseases have been breeding in Ming for more than three hundred years. Zhen can take this opportunity to eradicate them!”
Zhu Ci Xin said calmly.
"People at that time called me prime minister. Only today did he know that His Majesty was the true saviour of the world! Your Majesty's move can be called a wise move!"
Zhang Ju was kneeling on the ground and said sincerely.
Yu Qian also knelt down and said,"For the Ming Dynasty, I would rather bombard Yingzong than give up the capital." I thought I could bear the word 'courage'. After meeting His Majesty today, he finally understood what a brave person was.”
Zhang Juzheng and Yu Qian, one was arrogant, the other was aloof; There were very few people who could be taken seriously by them.
Their loyalty was to the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, not to any particular emperor.
However, it was truly rare for Zhu Ci to be praised by the two of them as a wise and brave man.
"This general is a martial artist and knows very little about the matters of the imperial court. However, I'm willing to be the sword in His Majesty's hand. Wherever His Majesty pointed, I would slash!”
Qi Jiguang said excitedly.
Although he did not have a deep understanding of Zhu Ci Xin's actions, he knew that His Majesty was doing this for the sake of the world!
"Good! Good! You and I are of the same mind, why worry about the world's instability!”Zhu Ci laughed loudly.
……
Juyong Pass was brightly lit.
The King of Roaming, Li Zicheng, was currently having a banquet with his ministers.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!”Niu Beixing, the military advisor, stood up and said.
In the eyes of the raiders, the fall of Juyong Pass had opened the gates of the capital.
It had only been a few days since Li Zicheng had captured the capital and ascended the throne.
Therefore, the entire army changed their way of addressing him.
"Military Advisor, what's there to be happy about?" Li Zicheng asked deliberately.
Second Military Advisor Song Xian He also flattered.
"That's good. What would happen to so many surrendered ministers and Emperor Sizong and his son? I don't like these spineless bones."
Li Zicheng scratched his head. If he sat in the throne room, he would kill all those soft bones. As for Emperor Sizong and his son, he would raise them for a few years before secretly killing them.”
"Your Majesty, I estimate that we will be attacking the city in the next few days. This general suggests that we get more blood manger. In case the warhorses are frightened." Li Zicheng's top guard, Liu Zongmin, said.
The so-called blood manger was a method invented by the raiders.
In order to let the warhorses quickly adapt to the smell of blood on the battlefield, raiders would usually feed the horses with fodder in the stomachs of freshly killed people a few days before the battle.
These bloody manger were usually the commoners living nearby and the Ming soldiers who resisted.
"Alright, we'll do as Huang Hu says." Li Zicheng nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Chuang Ni said in unison.
"Hahaha! Let's not talk about it, we're all old brothers drinking!”
Li Zicheng laughed loudly.
In his heart, Da Ming's empire was already meat in his bowl. It would be effortless to take it down.
……
"You reckless dogs! He actually reached his claws into the Imperial Army! Don't you know what the Four Guard Battalion and the Brave Warriors Battalion are doing? When the raiders attack the city, how are you dogs going to protect His Majesty?”
Wang Chongen's roar came from the Imperial Horse Bureau.
The Imperial Steed Superintendent was the only one of the twenty-four yamens in the palace who could stand up to the ceremonial superintendent.
If the Bureau of Rites corresponded to the Cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel, then the Bureau of Imperial Horses corresponded to the Five Armies, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue.
He held a knife in one hand and a money bag in the other.
He was so awe-inspiring!
But now, all the eunuchs in the Imperial Horse Warden were kneeling in the hall, trembling.
"Eunuch Wang! Eunuch Wang! I was blinded by greed and did such a thing. Please make an exception, Eunuch Wang. I'm willing to give up all my assets!”
"That's right, Eunuch Wang. Please put in a good word for His Majesty, Eunuch Wang!”
"Eunuch Wang! Spare me!"
“……”
The Imperial Steed Superintendent's seal, the admiral, and the supervisor, the three eunuchs, wailed.
"Eunuch Wang, are you done? I still have things to do, so I can't waste time.”Xuanwu Kaidu, who was in charge of arresting the eunuchs, said.
"Lord Black Tortoise, please do as you please. I just want to scold these heartless things for betraying the emperor's kindness. I won't dare to delay your work."
Wang Chong 'en said carefully, his arrogant attitude completely gone.
Because he knew that behind the Embroidered Uniform Guards was the current Emperor!
"Take them all down! Hand it over to the three judicial divisions for interrogation!"
"Yes, sir!"
The moment Black Tortoise gave the order, Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately rushed in to arrest him.
"Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please spare my life!"
"Eunuch Wang, save me! Eunuch Wang, save me!"
"Let me die! My lords, please have mercy and let me die!”
“……”
Hearing that he would be brought to the three judicial departments to be interrogated by the four cruel officials, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Bureau was scared out of his wits.
Many people even tried to commit suicide to escape.
Unfortunately, these people were captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guards one by one and escorted back to the three judicial departments.
At this moment, the sky outside was already beginning to brighten.
The 17th day of the 3rd month of the 17th year of Emperor Si Zong had arrived.
There were still two days before the fall of the capital…
