Super Smuggling System

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Li Mu looked at these silent ministers, and said indifferently: "The Queen Mother said that these Jurchens are ignorant of the grace of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Can't stand the battle?"

"Is this how you think about Daming?"

With that said, Li Mu lifted his feet and left the side of the Dragon Case. Under the gaze of the crowd: "The enemy has repeatedly violated our Daming borders, seized our Daming territory, plundered our Daming people, robbed our Daming property, and killed our Daming women and children."

When he reached His Highness, he approached the official who was still flattering step by step, until the two of them were very close, Li Mu stopped, looked down and said in a deep voice: "I ask you, why can't I, Da Ming, fight? Daming can only stick to it, why my Daming has to rely on strong walls and clearing the country to keep the borders safe, why, tell me."

These words went deep into the mind of the flattering official, and then rang in the ears of the officials in the hall. When Li Mu raised his head and looked around the hall, he spoke again.

"You are at the pinnacle of power in the Ming court, you are the ministers of the cabinet, and you are the leader of the military department. Tell me, what should you do to deal with a disloyal traitor like Jurchen?"

Having said this, Li Mu became a little emotional.

"Or, you have forgotten the Ming Dynasty motto, the emperor guards the gate of the country, the king dies in the country, no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute."

"In other words, among you people, some of you are traitors, that's why you don't agree with the court's main battle, and instead advocate the cowardly strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country."

After asking, Li Mu put his left hand on the imperial sword at his waist and said, "I have inherited the great trust of the late emperor to supervise the country, and I am here to ask all the ministers on behalf of the late emperor, how should we treat the Jurchen traitors? Here, on behalf of His Majesty, I would like to ask all ministers, how should we treat Jurchen traitors?"

Speaking of which, Li Mu paid respects to Zhang Yan who was behind the dragon case, "I enjoy the trust of the Empress Dowager. I am here to ask the ministers on behalf of the Empress Dowager, how should we treat the Jurchen traitors?"

"Finally, I, Li Mumu, am gracious to the Ming Dynasty. I am here to ask the ministers on behalf of Daming, how should we treat the Jurchen traitors? Please tell me the ministers!"

Swaying four questions, pressing down on the body like a mountain, making the foreheads of these ministers dripping with cold sweat, not daring to have any hesitation, kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads to Zhang Yan behind the dragon case.

"The empress dowager, the ministers and others said so, all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the sincerity can be seen, I hope the empress dowager will learn from it!"

Before Zhang Yan could speak, Li Mu looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and sarcastically said, "Timidity is cowardice. Don't find any reason to say that it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I, Li Mu, are the commander of Jinyiwei. Willing to conquer Jurchen traitors for Daming Weiyi to go out."

After finishing the words, Li Mu once again clenched the imperial saber around his waist, and the guards in Jinyi Yingwei inside and outside Qianqing Palace echoed loudly: "I am willing to conquer Jurchen traitors for the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Willing to conquer Jurchen rebels for Daming's majesty!"

"Willing to conquer Jurchen rebels for Daming's majesty!"

The shocking sound naturally spread to the Xinuang Pavilion, waking up the young emperor Zhu Cihong who had just fallen asleep, causing him to cry so loudly that Princess Zhou hurriedly hugged him in her arms to coax him, looked outside and asked.

"What's the matter? The palace is very well-behaved. Why is there such a congratulatory sound? It's so scary. It sounds like it's coming from the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. Could it be that something happened to the Jinyiwei?"

A court lady might have just come back from the outside, so she replied: "Princess Zhou, this voice should be from the Jin Yiwei who guards the Qianqing Palace. This servant saw a court meeting in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace this morning. I think the queen mother is also there. By the way, Commander Li It seems to be there."

Hearing the maid's explanation, Princess Zhou couldn't help but cast her eyes outside, as if she was looking at what happened in the Humble Administrator's Hall of Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, ignored those ministers who were kneeling down, but looked at Li Mu and asked, "Li Aiqing, what should we do with the Jurchen traitors?"

Hearing Zhang Yan's question, Li Mu knelt down on one knee and said: "I believe that the crime of treating Jurchen traitors should be punished, so that they can be upright and inviolable tomorrow, and sound the alarm for those vassal states. Offend me again at the frontier of Ming Dynasty"

Then Li Mu proposed again: "I also ask the Queen Mother to issue an order with Your Majesty to reprimand the Jurchen for their crimes and establish the Jurchen as a family that will never be recruited. In my Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen family will be driven into a place where there will be no redemption."

Chapter 259 The Great Ming Military System

Li Mu knelt on the ground on one knee, and told Zhang Yan that Jurchen was a family that Daming would never recruit, which meant that no matter what happened between the two parties in the future.

As long as the Ming Dynasty existed, the Jurchen family would not be forgiven by the Ming court. Even if the Jurchen surrendered, they would be punished as traitors.

This suddenly placed Daming and Jurchen on the world feud, as long as Zhang Yan and the Emperor Daming made a decree, this world feud would never be solved.

The only way to solve it is for one party to fail. Like in history, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens, or the Jurchens were completely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty and became slaves forever!

Obviously, everyone present, including Zhang Yan, understood the meaning of this, and watched Li Mu kneeling on one knee without saying a word for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Yan couldn't bear to see Li Mu like this, and said, "Li Aiqing, let's get back on your feet first, even if the Ai family agrees with you, but now that the Jurchens are powerful, what will the court use to punish the traitors?"

"Yes, Queen Mother." Hearing that Zhang Yan also had some disagreements in it, the minister who was kneeling on his highness raised his head and said anxiously.

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, now our Ming court's military equipment is slack, and a large number of local guards are abandoned. It can be said that it has almost reached the point where the army is outnumbered. It is impossible to confront the real woman. The only way is to fortify the wall and clear the field, and stick to the border defense is the best strategy."

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian."

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian!"

These ministers were also ruthless. In order to let Zhang Yan understand their good intentions, they all kowtowed on the ground. Put your palms underneath.

There are shrewd ones, and some stupid ones, who have a red and green seal on their foreheads to show their loyalty.

Zhang Yan has never seen this kind of battle before. On weekdays, when summoned by the court, the ministers only need to bow to show their respect for the royal family.

It is really unbearable to kowtow now. In the etiquette of the Han nationality, only in front of the high hall, when worshiping the heaven and the earth, bow down with a big ceremony, and only a very few times when you meet the emperor, you need to kneel down.

Originally, the kneeling and prostration just now was scary enough, but now she kowtowed her head, and Zhang Yan was so scared that she said anxiously: "My dear friends, what should I do, please hurry up, the Ai family has not agreed yet, hurry up Please get up."

After finishing speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair, stretched his hands forward and made a fake lifting motion.

"Queen Mother, the ministers are all for the court." Seeing that Zhang Yan panicked, these ministers couldn't help being overjoyed, and there was no sign of getting up from the ground, but they kowtowed again.

"My dear ones, what should the Ai family do?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan looked at Li Mu helplessly, feeling that this time he could only follow the opinions of these ministers.

When Li Mu saw Zhang Yan's eyes, he was full of apology and helplessness. He didn't feel any displeasure, and smiled understandingly. He could see that these ministers were threatening to kneel down and kowtow.

Threatening Zhang Yan not to agree to his proposal, threatening the imperial power can only agree to the proposals of these ministers.

This kind of threat is a peculiar phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a fault that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to these ministers of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor and their opinions are to the left, he likes to use threats to force the emperor to nod and agree.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use his life as a threat.

However, this is what Li Mu hates the most. He always likes to threaten others with his life, and then stands on the moral high ground to win, using his opponent as proof of his integrity.

It seems that all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were such negative teaching materials, and they were repeatedly threatened by ministers to succeed, becoming the one who stood on the opposite side of the ministers' protection of the people, the country, and the comfort of the court.

It is also not seen that these upright and upright ministers who behaved in the Ming Dynasty acted like this in the Qing Dynasty, but they were trained to look like slaves.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of iron hitting the ground, and the minister who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing hurriedly stopped, and saw a precious sword with a bright yellow scabbard trembling on the golden brick floor of the hall.

Then an indifferent voice sounded: "Are you going to compare yourself to death next? If that's the case, you don't need to bother. There is a knife on the ground, so that you will not only feel pain when you hit the wall, but also pollute the environment of this hall."

The ministers were stunned, looking at Li Mu as if they were saying, whoever is going to die, you are going to die, let us have an inspection team to torment us, isn't being an official just for a little power, for money, for women?Are we easy?

These ministers looked at each other and nodded, it was not easy, and now they have to kneel and kowtow, saying in pain.

Besides, we didn't say that we should compare it with death, so what's the point of throwing a knife on the ground?

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Everyone, please get up quickly. How can Li Aiqing's Aijia and the imperial sword given to you by His Majesty be thrown around like this? Don't be an example."

Knowing that Li Mu would not pick it up in person, she couldn't get up to pick it up, so she motioned to Wei Zhongxian, who had nothing to do next to him, to pick up the knife.

Receiving the signal, Wei Zhongxian quickly ran two steps to pick up the sword, came to Li Mu and handed the sword and said, "Lord Li, your sword."
