Could it be that he had just ascended the throne and was going to become the ruler of a subjugated country?
Zhu Houzhao was furious!
Furious!
Furious!
Furious!
Damn the Tartars!
Can't you let me enjoy peace?
"When will the 300,000 Tatars go south? Who is the commander of Da Tong Prefecture?"
"Your Majesty, the Tartars heard about the change of regime in the court and went south a month ago. The commander of Datong Prefecture is Wang Shouren of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War!”
Wang Shouren?
Wang Shouren!
A famous general of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Shouren's peers included Tang Yin, Zhu Zhishan, and other Jiangnan talents.
Tang Yin, Zhu Zhishan, and the others had a bumpy career, while Wang Shouren was high in one fell swoop, ups and downs in the official sea, and had become an official commander.
Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Yan Song, and Gao Gong were no longer officials. Although they had not yet obtained official titles, they were already born.
A famous official, Zhang Juzheng, would be born soon.
Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian, and the others were about to be born.
Now, Qi Jiguang's father, Qi Jingtong, was the commander of the Divine Arms Battalion, controlling three thousand Divine Arms Battalion!
It could be said that the number of famous officials in the Zhengde period was the most!
It was just that during the Zhengde period, the abilities of these famous officials and generals were buried.
……
"Where's the memorial?"
"Your Majesty, the memorial was sent to the palace yesterday!”
"He was sent to the palace yesterday?" Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Liu Jin and said,""I asked you just now what memorials the cabinet had and what urgent matters the court had. What did you tell me?”
Liu Jin immediately walked out from Zhu Houzhao's side and knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Didn't you tell me that they were just a few thieves? Are these a few thieves?"
In the main hall, Zhu Houzhao roared!
"The three hundred thousand Tatars heading south is not a matter for a few thieves!!”
In the main hall, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zheng De was furious. He never thought that he would be deceived by Liu Jin the moment he transmigrated to the Empire.
If it wasn't for today's political announcement, he would definitely be kept in the dark by Liu Jin. He wouldn't know that the 300,000 Tatars army was approaching Datong and that Datong Prefecture was in danger!
The emperor's anger was the anger of the heavens!
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would fall and blood would flow thousands of miles!
How could a mortal bear the wrath of an emperor?
"Liu Jin!"
"Your subject is here!"
"You deceived the emperor and delayed the military situation! It would bring disaster to the country and the people! I remember your meritorious service in accompanying the emperor, so I'm relieved of the burden of the three clans! Where are the imperial guards?"
The sound of war rang out as the imperial guards in fish-scaled chain mail armor entered the Xuanzheng Hall, holding the Autumn Water Goose Plume Saber.
Zhu Houzhao said angrily,"Drag Liu Jin out and cut him in half!" The family property will be confiscated into the national treasury!"
"Yes!"
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, save me!"
When Liu Jin was dragged out of the Xuanzheng Hall, he was already panicking. He knew that he would end up like this, but he never thought that his ending would come so quickly!
The imperial guards dragged Liu Jin outside the Meridian Gate and pressed him on the chopping block. The guillotine fell and the eunuch Liu Jin was cut in half!
The Brocade Guards were ordered to go to Liu Jin's residence and confiscate his property.
Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Political Declarations, looking around at all the civil and military officials in the court like a tiger lying on a barren hill!
Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, walked out of the court with an ivory board in his hand." Your Majesty, all the soldiers in the nine towns have been mobilized. The Datong Prefecture is high and dangerous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is enough to resist the invading army..."
"Half a month ago, the cabinet mobilized 150,000 soldiers and 3,000 cannons of all kinds to assist Datong Prefecture. The Divine Arms Battalion commander, Qi Jingtong, escorted them to Datong Prefecture.”
"How many days can the rations in Da Tong Prefecture last?”
"Your Majesty, after Wang Shouren took up the post of Datong's commander, he cleaned up 12 corrupt officials and obtained 500,000 dans of grain, enough to last the soldiers and civilians of Datong for three months!”Liu Jian opened his mouth to report. He kept all the military disputes in his heart, no matter how big or small. When the Emperor asked, he could answer immediately.
"Does Datong Prefecture have any weapons to fight against the Tartar soldiers?”
"Your Majesty, there are thirty-six city cannons weighing seven thousand jin on the city wall of Datong Prefecture. One shot can reach four to five miles. Other than the city cannons, there are also thousands of other kinds of cannons. They are the best weapons for defending the city. The Tartars have many cavalry and warhorses, so they are most afraid of cannons.”
"I don't want to repel the Tartar army!”
"What I want is the destruction of Tartar!"
"What I want is for the empire to be stable forever!”
Zhu Houzhao's words echoed in the hall, and all the civil and military officials in the court could feel the Emperor's determination.
Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said loudly with tears in his eyes,"Your Majesty! I am willing to use my rotten body to help Your Majesty protect the empire's territory for ten thousand years!”
As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, the anger in Zhu Houzhao's heart that arose because of Liu Jin's deception finally dissipated a little.
Fortunately, the political system of the Empire was a cabinet system. Even if the emperor did not care about government affairs, the cabinet could still handle them...
Otherwise, Da Tong Prefecture would have fallen long ago!
……
Today, Zhu Houzhao had cut Liu Jin in half, which made all the officials in the court excited. In the eyes of Liu Jian and the other cabinet ministers, Liu Jin was a thorn in their side, and they wanted to get rid of him immediately!
Apart from Liu Jin, it would be best to remove Cao Zhengchun, the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the East Hall, and Yu Huatian, the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the West Hall. Although Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian's official positions were lower than Liu Jin's, their power was higher than Liu Jin's.
However, Liu Jian knew that the Emperor did not need a reason to kill Liu Jin.
However, the supervisors of the East and West Chambers were not so easy to get rid of.
The East and West Chambers were the Emperor's eyes and ears, monitoring the entire court and the empire. The Emperor also used the East Chamber to check and balance the cabinet...
If it wasn't for the fact that his muscles and bones had rotted, the Emperor probably wouldn't have cut off his left and right arms.
