Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4: The emperor guards the gate of the country and the king dies

Liu Jin was dragged outside the Meridian Gate, and Jin Yiwei pressed him firmly on the beheading platform, and the dog's head fell. The chief **** Liu Jin explained his life in this way.

Later, Jin Yiwei was ordered to go to Liu Jin's house to seize the property!

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, watching the ministers as a tiger.

The ministers were trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice!

At this time, Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, held an ivory arc and cupped his hands, saying, "Report to Your Majesty, the matter of the Northwest Tartar invasion has been arranged properly, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"The cabinet has already mobilized 200,000 troops from all over the world to aid Jiayuguan half a month ago. The imperial court sent 3,000 pieces of artillery and a million arrows to the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Battalion, Qi Jingtong!"

"Who will deliver the grain?"

"Go back to your Majesty, after Wang Shouren, the chief soldier of Jiayuguan, took office, he seized 25 local corrupt officials and obtained 250,000 shi of food, which was enough to support the front-line soldiers for three months."

All the officials in the Xuanzheng Hall listened carefully to the speech of the chief assistant of the cabinet, which cared about the life and death of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Especially the emperor Zhu Houzhao, if the country is robbed, everyone else may live, and the only one who cannot be won is the emperor.

"Is there a specific strategy for encountering the enemy?"

"Yes, the Ministry of War has made a detailed plan, please take a look at it."

On the other side, a little **** walked down the jade steps carefully and put the memorial that Liu Jian took out of his sleeve into a small tray.

Zhu Houzhao opened the memorial and quickly browsed the contents above.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Houzhao slammed the memorial on the table with a look of anger.

"What I want is to destroy the northern Tartars, not to repel them!"

"What I want is that my Daming Jiangshan will last forever!!"

The voice roared like thunder, resounding throughout the Xuanzheng Hall.

Manchu Wenwu suddenly felt the determination of the Son of Heaven to guard the country!

Li Dongyang, the second assistant in the cabinet, burst into tears, holding an ivory arc, and said, "Your Majesty and I have Daming in my heart, I am willing to give up this wreckage and swear allegiance to Daming to the death!"

As soon as Li Dongyang finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a hint of warmth in his heart, and the anger of killing Liu Jin before seemed to have disappeared a lot.

However, it is also fortunate that Emperor Hongzhi entrusted Gu to the three cabinet ministers, and let them focus on the world's major affairs, otherwise, the emperor's responsibility would be difficult to shirk if half of the country was lost.

......

In today's political affairs, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao beheaded Liu Jin, the chief **** of the inner circle, which made many people in the dynasty feel happy.

Because in their eyes, this big inner chief is a thorn in their eyes, and he controls the fate of the officials at any time.

It would be very exciting if the emperor could eradicate Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory.

But these two people, although not as high as Liu Jin, have absolute power in their hands. It can be said that they are the emperor's right-hand man. The emperor will not cut off his arms unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, everyone knew that the emperor could find any reason to kill Liu Jin, but the Dongxi Factory was used to restrict the power of the cabinet.

Their three forces are constrained by each other, and the emperor can free up more time to balance their relationship.

If one of the three forces loses balance, the imperial power will face a great challenge.

Although the cabinet made a detailed battle plan, Zhu Houzhao was still worried, and some things had to be done by himself.

Especially when he just ascended the throne, if he was attacked by the northern Tatars in Hexi, it would pose a great threat to the Central Plains.

He never dreamed that the first thing he had just crossed over was the situation of internal and external troubles. If the country is lost, he will be called the king of subjugation by later generations.

He has only one way to die.

The Ming Dynasty started from the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was a tradition: the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the society!

Of course, this is not because Zhu Houzhao doesn't believe in the cabinet. On the contrary, he is a traitor. Some people seem to be loyal to you, but they are stabbing people behind their backs.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, the civil and military officials discussed countermeasures.

Li Dongyang, the second assistant in the cabinet, and Yang Tinghe, the minister of military affairs, offered a plan of alienation.

The northern Tartars originally belonged to the descendants of Genghis Khan, and there were many internal contradictions.

The court could send a group of troops south to spread rumors that the little Mongolian prince rebelled, and the Tatar leader would retreat after returning to consolidate the khan throne.

Zhu Houzhao finally made the final decision and issued an edict to perform this plan.

The early morning was surging, the emperor approached the court, beheaded Liu Jin in the waist, and ordered Anbang, showing that the emperor was young and promising.

Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty left the Xuanzheng Hall and returned to their posts respectively, and Zhu Houzhao also returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
