Chapter 1009 Speak up with justice
The next day, the censor Zhu Guochang took the lead in submitting a memorial to King Chen Yue of Qi.
"The King of Qi first expelled the Manchus and regained the old land, and then commanded the army and Tongguan. Puzhou defeated the 200,000 Shun Biblical troops, forcing the Shun Biblicals to flee west in a hurry. The entire Shaanxi area is just around the corner, and it will be wiped out the humiliation of the fall of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty!
When the King of Qi heard that Ainengqi's rebels captured Fujian, Zhejiang, and marched towards Jiangdong, heading straight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of the long-term combat power, he immediately rushed to the south and rushed thousands of miles to cross the Yangtze River. In Suzhou, he defeated the main force of the rebels and forced the rebels to look south in a hurry!
The achievements of the King of Qi are enough to be the best, and the loyalty of the King of Qi is known to the world. However, our Ming Dynasty is bothering internally and externally. If the King of Qi had not planned the battles in the south and north for several years, how could he have the current situation?
The title of King Qi has reached its peak and no more can be granted. Therefore, the minister suggested that the King of Qi be given a show of his position and the rule of authority should be given a great contribution.
With the King of Qi in command of the court, we will surely be able to fight the Tartars outside and quell the rebels inside, and return peace to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and our Ming Dynasty revival is in sight!”
Zhu Guochang made a long and vocal speech to praise King Chen Yue of Qi in the palace. Finally, he suggested that King Qi take charge of the court to repay his great achievements!
After Zhu Guochang finished speaking, many officials came forward to comply with the emperor and praised the King of Qi. For a moment, they formed a court to support Chen Yue, which surprised Lu Zhenfei, the Grand Secretary who had just returned to the court.
Once upon a time, King Chen Yue of Qi was full of enemies in the court, and there were not many ministers of the direct line. Every time there was a movement, civil servants rushed forward to attack. However, now, there were so many court officials supporting Chen Yue, which was incredible!
Is Chen Yue's charm that is enough to conquer so many officials? No, Lu Zhenfei knows that this is because Chen Yue's strength is so strong that these people dare not object, and the lifeblood of these people is also in the hands of Chen Yue, so this is the current situation!
Lu Zhenfei was surprised and moved, and Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne, felt even more upset and angry. Although he had decided to pass the throne to his daughter Kunxing and then marry Kunxing to Chen Yue, it would be equivalent to indirectly handing over the country to Chen Yue. Ordering Chen Yue to Beijing was to put him in power, and Chongzhen had decided to delegate power and retreat behind the scenes.
However, this situation in the court still made him angry! Betrayal was a shameless betrayal. When these civil servants who should be killed saw that Chen Yue was powerful, they betrayed the royal family and surrendered to Chen Yue! I have long said that all of them should be killed!
Humph, do you think you can get benefits by taking the initiative to join Chen Yue? Chen Yue is not me. His methods are much more cruel than me. You will soon taste the taste of regret!
The princess Kunxing sat beside Chongzhen. She was learning to listen to politics now. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but look back at her father with concern.
Looking at his daughter's worried face, Chongzhen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. At this point in the current situation, there was no room for regret. If he had to make trouble, the Ming Dynasty would really not be protected, and Chongzhen naturally understood this truth.
But are all civil officials in the court all competing for the flames and adhering to the power? Isn’t there anyone who is loyal to me and the Ming Dynasty? How could I have such an end after 300 years of raising scholars in the Ming Dynasty?
"The King of Qi has made great contributions and can be rewarded with silver and his wife. Your Majesty has already given him rewards to the Great Wall to reward him with great contributions. However, no matter how great the King of Qi has made, he is just a noble and military general. How can he uphold the country's rule?"
Just as the ministers made suggestions to Chen Yue in power, a different voice suddenly sounded. Chongzhen was shocked and looked closely. However, it was Liu Zongzhou, the new commander of the Right Capital, who had just recovered!
Liu Zongzhou was a great scholar and a master of academics. He had many works and had a high prestige among the scholars. What is even more rare is that he was very honest and was extremely honest in the officialdom and restrained his family. Although he was a high official and famous, his Shaoxing family did not act to annex land and bully good, and adhered to the way of poverty. Even if the rebels captured Shaoxing, they did not dare to humiliate his family lightly!
If others object, they will inevitably be attacked by censors. However, when Liu Zongzhou spoke, the censors and court officials looked at each other, but they did not dare to speak ill of each other!
Qian Qianyi sighed and looked at the Zuodu Censor Li Zhan. At this time, Qian Qianyi did not dare to stand up and go against Liu Zongzhou directly.
Li Zhan, the left censor, had no choice but to come forward. The chief envoy of the Censorate, was still above the chief envoy of Liu Zongzhou and Zhou Youdu, and Liu Zongzhou was half of his subordinate.
"Brother Qi Dong, although the King of Qi was a noble and military general, he was not a martial artist who could not read a big word. He had many strategies in his mind and knew the strategies to stabilize the country and the people. What's wrong with him being in power?" Li Zhan advised.
Liu Zongzhou looked at Li Zhan coldly: "Mr. Zuo Xian, my Ming Dynasty's civil and military control is the ancestral system. From the beginning of Taizu, did there ever be a military general who became the prime minister or the chief minister? Did the King of Zhongshan have made great contributions? Did he become the prime minister?
The King of Qi has made great contributions, but Your Majesty opened a Grand Governor's Office for him, appointed him as the Grand Governor, and also entrusts the north to the north, so the rewards given to him are great! Now, you still want to let the King of Qi uphold the government. In this way, the King of Qi is in charge of the army and the government. His power is so great that it is so great. Where is Your Majesty put in this way?
Li Zhan was silent immediately and dared not say anything else.
Chen Yue was in charge of both the army and the government, but wasn’t it equivalent to the emperor? The emperor also had a cabinet and six proofs to restrain him, but who did King Chen Yue of Qi ask?
If you continue, you will be suspected of disobedience. Even if Li Zhan is eager to do so, he will have to worry about his reputation.
Li Zhan didn't dare to say anything more, and the censors didn't dare to say much, and the other court officials were even silent. Qian Qianyi sighed repeatedly in his heart, knowing that even if he spoke, he would be retorted by Liu Zongzhou without hesitation.
Liu Zongzhou occupied the righteousness and the commanding heights of morality. Although many people are shameless, they dare not put their shamelessness in front of everyone.
At this time, the only person who could count on was Emperor Chongzhen. So Qian Qianyi looked at Chongzhen with Xiyi's eyes. He knew that Chongzhen should be able to speak at this time.
Seeing Liu Zongzhou speaking for his righteousness, Chongzhen almost burst into tears. But he knew that although Liu Zongzhou was thinking about himself and the Ming Dynasty, he could not change anything at all.
If you disagree with Chen Yue's rule, you will inevitably anger Chen Yue. What will happen to him? What will happen to the Ming Dynasty? Even Chongzhen was deeply afraid.
If it were just Chongzhen's own life, Chongzhen would not be afraid, but it was involved in the Ming Dynasty? Can it continue to pass on?
Passing the country to your daughter and then to your grandson is the best choice! It is better to pass the country and not protect the country. In that way, wouldn’t you become a sinner for the ages?
