Chongzhen Chat Group

As long as Emperor Chongzhen's method is followed, the Horqin tribe who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty first will inevitably be arranged earlier, and they will no longer be able to be together with Bu He who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty later. In this way, not only can it reduce the pressure of future resettlement, but it can also help to trap more soldiers and scouts.

By the time Emperor Chongzhen returned to the capital, it was already mid-May. Before the emperor arrived at the capital, there were already thousands of civilians, military officers, and royal family members kneeling ten miles outside the city.

Seeing this, Concubine Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the officials from the capital are here to greet us!"

"Haha, my beloved, do you know what they are planning to do?" Emperor Chongzhen sneered after hearing this.

When Concubine Tian heard this, she couldn't help but be startled. From the emperor's tone, it seemed that it was not a good thing. She was a little surprised and said: "What?"

"In light of the fact that I was in danger in Nanxun Town, everyone advises me not to go out of the capital privately again!" Emperor Chongzhen replied, looking at the densely packed heads in the distance.

He had already received reports on this matter from the chat group. Not only that, but he also knew that the memorials to impeach the First Assistant Wen Tiren and others were almost piled up in a room, saying that the First Assistant did not fulfill his duties and allowed Emperor Chongzhen to leave the capital incognito. To the extent that the Holy Emperor was in danger, this kind of thing has never happened before in this country. Although Shengjia was blessed by heaven and was safe in the end, the blame for this crime must be investigated.

Emperor Chongzhen even knew that the initial impeachment memorial was issued first by Ke Dao Yanguan from Jiangnan, and then all civil servants, military officers, and even the royal family and nobles participated. In the end, the momentum was huge, and the impeachment memorial was the most popular in the country.

Emperor Chongzhen could not say that there was something wrong with these ministers in this matter. After all, they were all worried about the safety of their emperor and father. But he knew that their action was a counterattack against the Jiangnan incident. They could not depose the prestigious emperor, they could only hope that the emperor would continue to be imprisoned in the palace.

In this matter, no matter whether it is the civil servants, military officers, or the emperor's relatives and nobles, they all have the same interests, and no one wants the emperor to go out again.

Emperor Chongzhen had already suspected this.

As they got closer, the ministers came to greet them, and after the initial greetings, an expected scene took place.

First, the nobles such as the hereditary prince and uncle who had retired from the country spoke. With a worried look on his face, he reported that the emperor was in danger in the south of the Yangtze River. He was so frightened that he could not sleep for several days and nights. When he first heard about it, he wanted to fly to the emperor's side to protect him immediately. Such a thing was too dangerous. He begged the emperor to stop taking risks for the sake of the country and the people!

As if they had rehearsed, these nobles had just finished speaking, and all the civil and military officials came forward to kneel and say, saying that the emperor is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his own safety is at stake, so how can he be easily involved in danger. Something happened that endangered the emperor's safety, and those involved must be held accountable. For example, Concubine Tian who accompanied the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was unlucky to escort him, Wen Tiren, the first assistant who had no concern for the emperor's safety, and Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies, etc.

The summary of what these people said was that they were worried about the emperor. This time, something unprecedented had almost happened since the founding of the country, and those responsible must be held accountable.

Wen Tiren did not come. When Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Tongzhou, he handed over the memorial and listened to it at home. According to his own performance, he knew that he was wrong and put the emperor in danger. He, the chief assistant, is indeed responsible...

Emperor Chongzhen did not interrupt them. Anyway, he was sitting in the car and out of the sun. These ministers who came to advise did not wait until they went to the Forbidden City and held a court meeting. Instead, they had to do it as soon as they returned to Beijing. Since they like to be basked in the sun, let them do it more.

When they were all dizzy from the sun and consciously ended the drama of admonishment and waited for the emperor to express his position, Emperor Chongzhen stood up from the car, looked down at them condescendingly, and said loudly: "I accept your thoughts."

As soon as they heard this, some ministers felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the emperor did not listen to the advice of so many people, so some people wanted to speak again.

But before they could speak, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "If I hadn't gone out for this trip, how would I have known that the local tyrants and evil gentry in the south of the Yangtze River could run rampant in the countryside, even confuse right and wrong, regard deer as horses, and regard the government as nothing. This way Unless I have personal experience, I would not believe it. The prosperous Ming Dynasty and the place where scholars are popular can actually have such appalling things happen..."

After hearing these words from the emperor, these people had no way to argue. Because of this, they began to advise him based on the emperor's safety.

"If I had been in the capital, sitting in the Forbidden City, would I have known that behind the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there were such ugly things? As my ministers, my eyes and ears, and my arms, can you help me? I will manage this world well, so that my people will have their own homes, and the sick will have their own medical treatment! Those who are diligent will have their careers! Those who work hard will have their rewards! Those who are young will have their studies! Childhood will have its fun! Readers will have their schools! The weak have their help! The old have their support! The car driver has his position! The worker has his salary! The farmer has his land! The businessman has his profit?"

"I am guilty!" he responded weakly, but because of the large number of people, it seemed louder.

"As the saying goes, I can't eat because of choking. I can't do it!" Emperor Chongzhen's face became serious and he said loudly, "If I are really in danger, even in the Forbidden City, it will be the same. The incident of the late emperor is an example. I will do it now. Tell your ministers that I will definitely patrol the place again. I want to see with my own eyes how my Ming Dynasty is doing. If you and others are worried about my safety, please manage the place for me so that the unruly people and thieves of Nanxun Town will not appear again. Censor Yan Guan, supervise the words and deeds of local officials for me, and uncover the official thieves who harbor evil intentions!"

At this point, he paused, glanced at the ministers below who were sweating under the sun (or sweating for some other reason), and said loudly and decisively: "Although I know that the risk of going out is definitely higher than in the Forbidden City. If it is bigger, it can help all the people in the world. I clearly tell you that I will also patrol the place and see with your own eyes the well-being of the local people. If you are willing, you will fulfill your duties and manage the place for me!"

The kneeling ministers felt that their trip was in vain, but some people were unwilling to accept it and told them again that the emperor's trip would make the place uneasy and cost extra money and food.

Emperor Chongzhen sneered after hearing this, and immediately ordered Fang Zhenghua to report the cost of the tour, and then shouted loudly: "The cost of my trip is less than the cost of a banquet hosted by a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. And these expenses are all from within." Ku. It’s okay not to mention this. When I went out this time, I really saw the luxury of the Jiangnan customs, and some of the ostentation. Even I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, feel ashamed!"
