Chapter 27: The battle between the king and the minister (I)

In the first year of Chongzhen.

February 19th.

Morning court.

Taihe Gate Hall.

Yang Jie sat on the dragon throne with a sneer in his heart.

Last night, Yang Jiemeng returned to Baidu and copied a song, preparing to deal with these Ming Dynasty elites today and let them sing it well.

Yang Jing did not have to worry about the opening, so naturally a little eunuch started singing, and then the ministers began to sing "Song of Righteousness". Not to mention, these ministers seemed to have practiced for many days, their voices were neat and loud, and the more they listened, the more they became, the more they were a little more imposing. A great spirit burst out, but the singing people were full of "thieves and prostitutes".

A man steals money from the country, oh, that's called corruption, no, that's called "drifting or not". How can it be considered corruption? It can't be considered stolen.

The Women's Rights Protection Committee protested: There are no female compatriots in this time, space and region at all. How can we count us as well as them? This is a slander and hostility towards our female compatriots.

Oh, that's it! It's not the "male thief".

After singing.

Yang Jie first spoke today: "My dear friends, this song "Song of Righteousness" is getting better and better. I believe that the more you are in your chest and abdomen, the more righteous you are, the longer you are."

A group of ministers said "I dare not" below, but they were actually secretly proud.

"I have another song today. Compared with "Song of Righteousness", this song talks about "Loyalty for the Country". I think all my dear friends can also serve the country as loyal as they sing in the song. Well, great companion, please send this lyrics to you first and read them carefully."

After saying that, Wang Chengen directed the eunuchs to distribute the lyrics to the ministers.

Originally, Yang Jing had expected that these ministers would have resistance to singing new songs, saying no. Unexpectedly, a group of people remained silent and were reading the lyrics seriously. No one came out to object. As the saying goes: abnormality is a monster. Yang Jing thought about the "conspiracy" in this matter, but unfortunately, he didn't know what it was.

The lyrics of the song that was posted were "Loyalty for the Country" sung by Tu Honggang. This song requires the person who sang it must be full of energy. Hehe, Yang Jing looked at this group of old guys who were "seven or eighty years old" and asked them to sing "Loyalty for the Country" with full of energy, which may cost them their lives.

Yang Jingwei planned to torture these old guys severely.

The lead singer was a little eunuch. Because of his good voice and smartness, Yang Jing asked Wang Chengen to come and take charge of the morning sing. Before dawn in the morning, Yang Jing called the young eunuch who led the singing to "teach" his singing style of "Loyalty to the Country". In fact, Yang Jing himself yelled a few words in this song. But he still knew the general tune. After teaching the young eunuch several times, the young eunuch was indeed smart and learned it. However, the voice had some "eunuch characteristics" in it, and singing a generous song with "killing spirit", which was still a bit inappropriate.

"The smoke of wolf rises and looks northward..." The little eunuch sang the beginning of "Loyalty for the Country" with the voice of "eunuch's characteristics".

"Wolf... smoke... rises up the country... look north..." The ministers followed and sang "Loyalty for the Country".

"The dragon rose and rolled the horse and neighed the sword energy like frost..." The little eunuch's voice was quite loud, but it was impossible to say that he was passionate. With a hint of sharpness.

"The dragon... rises... rolls up the horse... neighs the sword energy... like frost" is still the ministers' chanting like reading.

"The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River..."

"Who can fight against each other for twenty years..."

"Hate and desire are crazy about the sword..."

"How many loyal souls of brothers and feet are buried in other places..."

"The Loyalty of the Country" sung by Tu Honggang is passionate, with the sound of golden swords and iron horses, and the spirit of fighting to the death.

However, in this hall of Taihemen, a small eunuch who brought a group of "male thieves" ministers sang it was a terrible and sparse look. He finally finished singing it once.

"My dear friends, it's really bad. How about it again? This song is so passionate and heroic. Why are you singing so unbearable? Don't you want to 'serve the country' for my Ming Dynasty'?"

Yang Jing’s hat was so big that he would not serve the country loyally for the Ming Dynasty. What would he be? He was planning a rebellion! The ministers immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted that they did not dare. So they started again.

Yang Jing felt funny in his heart. He watched these ministers sing "Loyalty for the Country" again.

All these ministers are old, and many of them are in their seventies and eighties. How can they sing this song that is sung with all their energy? With a little harder, they all feel like pig liver hitting their faces and changing color.

After singing it three times, the ministers could no longer find a normal face. They all had a pig-skinned face. This made Yang Jing very happy. I thought you were unhappy to call me, but I wouldn't feel good if I called you.

"My dear friends, how about this song?" Yang Jie asked the ministers with a smile.

After resting, someone spoke: "Your Majesty, this song is passionate, heroic and grand, full of killing spirits. I heard it as if I had returned to that battlefield. It was a good song... I just dare to ask Your Majesty, who wrote this song?"

Yang Jing was about to say that it was Tu Honggang singing, but then he thought, where can I find Tu Honggang in this world? What if someone asks me, isn’t it exposed? It seems that I can register first with shame.

"This song was written by me, how about it?" Yang Jing's face turned red a little as he said this.

"Your Majesty is wise. How dare you ask Your Majesty, this song is written as a memory, praising Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty and Yue Pengju's fight against the Jin people?" The minister was quite accurate, and he could see the origin and allusions of the song at once.

"Haha, how did you see it?" Yang Jing did not know this minister, so he could only "loved" him.

"Report to Your Majesty, from the four words "Loyalty for the Country", I feel that it may be related to the tattoo of my mother-in-law. Although the characters are different, the meaning is the same. In addition, I also found that in this word, "the horse's hooves go south and people look north", does not mean that the northern expedition cannot be achieved, and looking north and looking north, the feeling of hardship in my heart?" The minister explained proudly.

"It makes sense, but I still understand my intentions. This song was inspired by Yue Fei and Yue Pengju's northern expedition to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and felt Yue Pengju's shocking pride and loyalty to the country. I wrote this song to encourage today's people to learn the spirit and integrity of Yue Pengju's loyalty to the country... I think of Yue Fei's northern expedition to fight against the Jin Dynasty and recovering his hometown, but the Southern Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers have caused the unjust death of famous generals throughout the ages. I am really sorry that I will not be this stupid person and destroy the Great Wall. I also hope that everyone can do it.

My dearest master learned the spirit of Yue Pengju's loyalty to serve the country... I think that Yue Fei's northern expedition was fighting against the Jin Dynasty. Today, our Ming Dynasty also fought against the Eastern Barbarians, and the Eastern Barbarians were actually called the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, I decided to use Yue Pengju's loyalty to serve the country to suppress him. I want to use this song to inspire the "Yue Pengju" in our dynasty to serve the country with all his loyalty. I am not stingy with fame and fortune, nor do I learn from the Southern Song Dynasty to kill Zhongliang indiscriminately, just to fight against the Northern Expedition in the future, to eliminate the Eastern Barbarians who dare to claim to be the Later Jin Dynasty, and to give me peace to the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty..."

The ministers in the hall were shocked and their chins were all over the ground.

I didn't expect that this young man had such thoughts and feelings. To be honest, I really didn't see it. But after thinking about it, the emperor's words were still reasonable. Yue Fei fought against the Jin Dynasty in the north, and the Eastern Barbarians dared to claim that he was the Later Jin Dynasty. Isn't that a metaphor for our Ming Dynasty to be the Southern Song Dynasty? Where does this mean to show the face of our heavenly kingdom? How can we be the one who is the ministers? Of course we have to look for our Ming Dynasty "Yue Pengju" to suppress the Later Jin Dynasty. That's right, the idea is very good.

"Your Majesty is really the Holy Lord!"

"Your Majesty, this idea is really high..."

"Your Majesty is smart, I can't wait..."

"Report to Your Majesty, this song is really good and should be promoted among all civil and military officials..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I will sing every day to learn Yue Pengju's spirit of loyalty to the country..."

The horse rolls in.

Yang Jie was secretly happy and thought to himself that as soon as I, the 21st century people, wouldn't you still kill you old antiques? Hehe, fight me, kill you.

"Very good! All my dear friends think it's good, and I think it's good too. Since that's the case, why not sing it to me a few more times?" Yang Jing smiled and wanted to listen to the song again.

The ministers below immediately turned into pig's face. This song requires a full of energy and passion, so that they can have the kind of killing spirit on the battlefield. It is really a waste of life to ask us old men to sing this song. It is not enough for one time, how many times? After singing it, do you still have life?

But I still have to sing it. I was just praising this song for being good and I have to learn it. If I don’t sing it now, wouldn’t I slap myself in the face?

So, the ministers sang several times, and in the end, someone really couldn't support him and fell down. Yang Jing gave up. He was just bypassing a show and was secretly proud of himself.

The next thing is to discuss the affairs of the government.

"I have a foundation to report."

"Tell me, what's going on, don't think of those long and ugly memorials, just say whatever you want." Yang Jing was most afraid of those lengthy memorials. He didn't know what to say for a long time. He wasted time and energy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the general general of the Ping Liao general, Mao Wenlong, asked for a call." The minister summarized the memorial in a very brief sentence.

Mao Wenlong? Yang Jie had a headache when he heard this. Originally, in history, Mao Wenlong should have died under Yuan Chonghuan's knife. Now that Yuan Chonghuan's big deception has been "anti-spoken" by Yang Jie, it is unlikely that he will kill Mao Wenlong again. This also made the matter that originally belonged to Yuan Chonghuan fall on his head.
