Chapter 3: Difficulty Going (1)

The arson case of the Imperial Horse Supervision Forage Farm is indeed very difficult. The issue tonight did not include this at all. Now, there is no proper way to do this matter. I am afraid that the capital that has just stabilized will be in chaos again, which makes the ministers who have been working hard for several days tense up again.

"Your Majesty, this arson case has a very critical impact on the current situation. If you are not careful, the emperor will bear the reputation of an eternal tyrant." Sun Chengzong said carefully.

Zhu Yinglong's face also began to worry. His reputation was temporary. He was not afraid of this. The key was that someone was catching up with troubled waters and fanning the flames. The situation that could have been controlled would lead to huge civil unrest, which was troublesome. Therefore, he nodded slowly and agreed with Sun Chengzong's statement: "If you have any good ideas about dealing with this matter, just say it out loud, and don't have any concerns."

The room suddenly became silent, and everyone seemed to be trying their best to think about solutions.

"Emperor, since the murderer of the arson case has been arrested, why not have a public trial and let the truth be revealed to the world. Instead of hiding someone, it is better to let the people of the world know the truth!" Sun Shenxing was a straightforward temper, but it was not as if he had no brains. He already knew the true identity of the little prince held by Wei Zhongxian, and also saw the handwritten will of Emperor Tianqi. He naturally recognized the handwritten handwritten by the late emperor and could not forge it. Moreover, before, the admiral of the king and went to the direct guard, this was already the sign of the king's succession. Then he heard the oral narrative of the queen. The queen's wiseness was known to everyone in the world, and he couldn't help but believe it. More importantly, he saw the hope of the country in Zhu Yinglong. He insisted on orthodoxy and had already agreed with the fact that Zhu Yinglong ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, this method is good. As long as Wei Zhongxian sent people to lurk in the capital and set fire to more than 10,000 eunuchs who depended on him, the purpose of attacking the emperor will further aggravate the alienation of those who do not know the truth." Huang Daozhou agreed.

Zhu Yinglong vaguely felt that this method seemed feasible, and said to Sun Chengzong inquiry: "Director Sun, do you think this method is feasible?" He got used to it, and Zhu Yinglong couldn't change his words for the time being.

"The solution is good, but there are many people during the public trial. The old minister is worried that some unpredictable changes will happen, and it will be troublesome at that time?" Sun Chengzong believed that he could not think of a better solution than this, but he was still a little worried that as people grow old, they will be more determined to seek stability.

Sun Chengzong's concerns were not unsuitable. If there were killers and assassins in the crowd, they would die before Tu Wenfu and others could tell the truth. It would be even more chaotic to see how the court would clean up the situation at that time.

"Your Majesty, since it is a public trial, even if the gate of the Ministry of Justice is opened, only a few hundred people can see the situation. We can select and search these hundreds of people to ensure that the killer and assassin cannot enter the court." After all, he was with Zhu Yinglong for the longest time and was the most affected person. The method of public trial of Shi Kefa, a limited number of people is indeed very clever. It is not difficult to select a few people who have some prestige in the countryside in a huge Beijing city. Most of these people are fellow villagers and are known to many people. Killers and assassins have no way to get in. As long as you use these people's mouths, it is no different from the public trial that opens the gate of the Ministry of Justice. The people will not have any complaints. This method is good!

Zhu Yinglong immediately approved the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate's Three Laws to follow this method, and the work of the inspection and auditors was naturally handed over to Zhou Huaian for his crime and made meritorious service.

After solving this huge problem in front of you, we have entered the huge issue of national government affairs.

"Your Majesty, today is the year of Dingmao. The Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination was postponed due to sudden changes in the court. Now the students are gathered in Beijing. I don't know if the provincial examination can be held this year. The empress meant that the imperial court is currently short of talents. The provincial examination is still held as usual, but it is just delayed. How about putting it to mid-September?" Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites, first reported.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he became this emperor, the first thing he encountered was the major problem of the imperial examination. This was related to the people of scholars all over the world and was never careless. To be honest, he did not agree with the current imperial examination system at all, but education was never achieved overnight. At present, people were needed. Zhu Yinglong's desire for talents had reached a point of hunger. He immediately agreed to Xu Guangqi's memorial and asked Xu Guangqi to work with Shi Kefa and others to properly handle the life of these candidates in Beijing. It is also appropriate for the court in difficulty to take care of them.

As for the candidates for the main examination, Xu Guangqi reported several people to come up. Everyone discussed it and designated the main examination as the left-level censor Guo Duxian. The examination date was planned on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth day of the ninth month.

The Ministry of Rites asked Zhu Youjian’s biological mother Liu to postpone the posthumous concubine Zhenjing and the reunion of the reign of the reign of the Chingling Temple. With the Virgin Mother’s brother and Liu Xiaozu of Yangwei Zheng Qianhou, he was granted the title of Xinle Bo. Zhu Yinglong had no impression of this so-called mother at all. He could do whatever the Ministry of Rites did and gave her brother the title to her brother. After all, this body was born out of his sister’s belly. He should follow such trivial matters.

Next, Sun Chengzong, Minister of War and Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, reported some battle situations on Ningyuan's front line. Huang Taiji was very determined this time and seemed to not retreat without taking Ningyuan. Moreover, after conquering Jinzhou, he obtained many intact siege weapons. For example, the red-clothed cannons got four intact and thousands of artillery shells. Apart from pulling one back to do research, to see if he could cast it in the future, the remaining three and hundreds of Fran machine cannons were pulled to Ningyuan. Maybe the braided soldiers didn't know how to use muskets and liked the killing of real swords and guns. Yuan Chonghuan's defense battle this time was extremely difficult. But Ningyuan was a base area that Yuan Chonghuan had been operating for many years, and the defense facilities were naturally extremely solid. Many defense methods were prepared by the Later Golden Braided Soldiers. The military and civilians in the city came out of blood and fire, and the unity and morale were high. Now the only thing they lacked is food and grass and ammunition. Ningjin

After the victory, although the cities in Liaodong had replenished some food and grass, hesitated and time was in a hurry, most of the food and grass were given priority to Jinzhou City on the front line. Now most of the food and grass were taken away by Huang Taiji. The food and grass in Ningyuan City were only enough for one month to hold on. Yuan Chonghuan knew that Sun Chengzong also knew that Yuan Chonghuan's idea was that if Huang Taiji attacked Ningyuan for a month and had not been able to take it down, he should withdraw his troops. But at this time the hot summer had slowly passed, and the cooler weather was also strong for Huang Taiji. Moreover, he now had food and grass in his hands, so there was no need to worry. He could take Ningyuan City even if he was trapped. Even the Minister of War, Sun Chengzong also hoped that Huang Taiji would withdraw his troops if he could not hold on for a month. But at present, there was no sign of retreat. Man Gui and Zu Dashou guarded Shanhaiguan. They received strict orders and were not allowed to rush for assistance. Seeing that Ningyuan was getting more and more difficult, they could only write a letter to the court to send troops to help.

Ning Yuan is now surrounded by Huang Taiji. Even if Zhu Yinglong plans to give up Ning Yuan, Zuotun, Dalinghe and other cities, and withdraw to Shanhaiguan, it is no longer possible. However, he has almost no generals around him now. Even if there are soldiers, there are almost no one to take on this important task. Except for Xiong Tingbi, who cannot appear in the world, he is assisting Xiong Hu in rectifying the Jing camp. Otherwise, he is the most suitable candidate. Zhu Yinglong is very worried.

"Your Majesty, there is one person who can solve Ning Yuan's actions, but..." Huang Daozhou wanted to speak but stopped, looking quite embarrassed.

"Who, Youxuan, please tell me quickly. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong in front of me!" Zhu Yinglong was happy and said hurriedly.
