Chapter 840

Ministers collectively knelt outside the Meridian Gate for a meeting, which was a rare scene in the Chongzhen Dynasty. All civil and military officials in the court did not want to work, so they came nearby to watch or join them.

After more than 200 years of development in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it has become an inherent national policy to emphasize literature and despise martial arts. All people believe that military attach é s are rude military men and their running dogs. Just listen to their arrangement.

The emperor's tossing today makes many people worry that the emperor is looking for an excuse to improve the status of military officials and let them suppress civil servants.

That's enough. The power of personnel appointment, money and food in the court are still in the hands of civil servants. If the emperor wants to do so, everyone can't agree or cooperate. Moreover, the Emperor himself is a very wrong behavior. How can he come to a good end by emphasizing martial arts over literature?

Let's look at the Tang Empire in those days. Because they valued literature, valued martial arts and despised literature, they ended up with the collapse of the country and the collapse of the country. The world was in chaos. The descendants of the Li family were killed, and all the people in the world didn't have a good life.

This is not only for themselves, but also for the common people in the world, so Zhou yanru and others resolutely knelt down and begged the emperor to change his order. However, after kneeling for a long time, they all found that the emperor had no intention of concessions or summoning them, which disappointed and angry them.

This face is lost, this leg is sour.

However, Zhou yanru can't. After all, he is the first auxiliary of the Ming Dynasty and the head of all officials. Since he kneels in public here, it's not a good way to kneel to the emperor for a long time, because his knees are very tired and humiliating, Zhou yanru advised others: "gentlemen, go back to each department for a while, and we'll sit down and think about it for a long time."

Originally, the officials were angry and full of blood, trying to persuade the emperor to take back Tibetan life, but they tossed for a long time. The emperor ignored them and the birds didn't bird them, which also made them realize that there may be a dead knot in front of them, which is not easy to solve.

If the emperor refuses to step back, they will only lose face if they can't get up on their knees, because ministers also know that emperor Chongzhen looks gentle. In fact, he is a very stubborn person. Once he decides something, no one can change it. That year, he decided to cut yuan Chonghuan alive and cut Xiong Tingbi down. Once he makes a decision, Even if other people oppose it again, it is useless.

Zhou Tingru said to everyone, "I'll give in temporarily today, which doesn't mean that this matter is a foregone conclusion. I'll go back to the cabinet to discuss the big plan."

Since even the head of the cabinet said so, everyone felt that kneeling here was very shameless, disrespectful and shameful, so they had to get off the slope and go back first.

It's not that we are disloyal and have no blood, but that our knees don't fight for heart. It's sour and tired.

But the ministers will never agree to this. The emperor of the great Ming Empire, who was not the emperor, actually ran to practice troops. What does that mean?

When Emperor Chongzhen practiced martial arts during the prohibition, he really didn't think about it or play for a while, but after careful consideration. He knew that the Ming Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis. If he couldn't successfully solve the Liu family, it would mean that he was annihilated by the Liu family, and Zhu Youjian would become the king of subjugation.

Now the only way to deal with Liu Jia is to use powerful military force to ruthlessly destroy them, kill them and destroy their nine families. All those who follow them should be eradicated one by one. Even if they can't be killed, they should be demoted to Dalits and let them never turn over.

Only in this way can we deter those who have different aspirations and ulterior motives.

However, to achieve this step, we need a strong and effective army. At present, there is no such army in Daming. The several outstanding generals he placed high hopes on have failed to meet the emperor's wishes and do these things for the emperor. Since these people can't do it, they have to go out by themselves. This is also the last wave of emperor Chongzhen's dangerous moves, If this move doesn't work, it also means that his Daming is coming to an end.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not have any civil and military officials kneeling at the palace gate, but he was also worried about it, because he knew that if officials could not kneel here and no one went to work, the imperial court would not be able to maintain it, which would become a joke all over the world.

Fortunately, Zhou yanru is the chief assistant of the cabinet after all. He is a person who knows the general situation and pays attention to the overall situation. He persuaded the officials to go back. Although they claimed that this matter could not be done well and would not be finished with the emperor, the emperor finally survived the current pass.

So many officials kneel in front of the palace gate. If the emperor completely ignores it, it is not a matter to ignore it.

The emperor thought that he was practicing martial arts in prohibition. He was ready to put it into practice, and he didn't want to play. He had made an order to Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang to send a group of excellent officers to report here and train the army for him.

Although emperor Chongzhen personally trained in the Imperial Palace, he also knew that he was not expected to join the army. He had never been an officer or a soldier. He might not do better than an ordinary officer. All he had to do was to reverse the current trend of Daming, improve the treatment of martial arts and soldiers, and then let them work hard to fight for Daming.

The reason why the Liu thieves of the Chinese Empire are so powerful and powerful is that they attach great importance to the martial arts and these soldiers.

Since ancient times, all powerful emperors have an invincible army. Now it is difficult for Chongzhen emperor to think of good generals. He is also considering this problem and looking forward to his own Xuanjia heavenly army.

Such things happened in the Ming court, which were detected by the National Security Bureau and quickly sent the information back to the south.

Since Xu Jianqiang bought Nie Chengyu and his son, the strength of the East Hall has been greatly enhanced, and the manpower of the National Security Bureau in the capital has been dealt a fatal blow.

In the past, they were basically unscrupulous in their activities here. They had their spies in all the departments of the imperial court and all the city gates, but these people were caught out one by one by Nie Chengyu and his son and executed openly.

The NSA has been hit hard, but it doesn't mean that it has uprooted their strength. It just turns its strength underground, not as blatant as before.

Nie's father and son are the local snakes in the capital, but this is Beijing after all. It has a population of one million and hundreds of thousands of people go in and out every day. Such a huge city can't be controlled by a small gangster.

After a series of defeats with the other side, the National Security Bureau also learned from their failures and quickly changed their way of doing things. They were hidden and did not publicize as much as before. It was not so easy for the Nie family and their son to catch them.

Moreover, the intelligence bureau is not easy to provoke. They recruited a large number of experts and assassins from other places to deal with the Nie family and their son. The Nie family and their son were killed and injured extremely seriously, and both sides were scarred.

Xu Jianqiang knows these things well. He knows the strength of the Liu family and his son and the strength of his National Security Bureau. It is also very difficult to eradicate them completely. It is very rare to achieve this step at present. Of course, he has never given up and uprooted the Security Bureau of the Chinese army, but he has exhausted his methods and can't do it, He could only sigh, but he did his best to ensure his fate.

The Security Bureau quickly spread the information to Nanjing and Liu Yuanqiao, which surprised Liu Yuanqiao.

The rise of the Liu family is naturally due to the corruption and incompetence of the Ming Dynasty. The corruption and incompetence of the Ming Dynasty is reflected in the army's lack of combat ability and his official corruption.

Therefore, although Daming looks like a big Mac and a giant, he is only pushed by them gently, and this giant is pushed down by them and defeated by them.

Liu Yuanqiao deeply understood all the advantages and disadvantages of Daming, so he was able to achieve today's achievements, and he was very glad that emperor Chongzhen and officials in the imperial court continued to implement that set, continued to emphasize literature and light military, suppressed military officials, and further reduced the welfare benefits of being a soldier, which made their army's combat effectiveness worse and could not compete with the Chinese army at all.

Based on these situations, Liu Yuanqiao is very optimistic that he can defeat the main army of Daming and occupy his main cities in only three years, which means he can destroy Daming.

The Liu family started against Daming, which means that they and Daming can't coexist. The two sides are the result of life and death. If he can't destroy Daming, Daming will destroy them. The current situation is that the Chinese empire is very good, and Daming is declining day by day.

But Liu Yuanqiao didn't relax himself, because Liu Yuanqiao understood that Daming was still Daming. For more than 200 years, its inside information was very thick. He could survive countless fatal blows, but the Liu family didn't have such inside information. He was afraid that one fatal blow could make them irreparable.

Liu Yuanqiao was deeply worried about the measures taken by Emperor Chongzhen, but Liu Yuanqiao understood that it was right to let the emperor practice martial arts in the ban and successfully train a elite army, so as to reverse the trend of emphasizing literature and neglecting martial arts in the court and improve the treatment of generals and soldiers. If not, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and give them a headache.

Liu Yuanqiao knew the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves and that things were unfavorable to the Chinese army. Therefore, in view of this matter, he convened all senior officials overnight to discuss the big plan together, hoping to find a reasonable countermeasure.
