Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 261 The Wonder of Deshengmen

Shangjing.

A group of people appeared at Jiayuguan on the way into the capital.

"Your Majesty, do you think those civil and military ministers will really wait for us at the gate of Deshengmen?"

Jiang Bin looked at the sky.

If they reach Deshengmen in this situation, it will probably be late at night.

The emperor directly ordered all civil and military officials to welcome them back at Deshengmen. He was worried that those officials agreed clearly, but what was going on behind their backs.

Those people are the best at pretending to be pitiful, deliberately pretending to be bullied, and appearing reckless and reckless to the emperor!

Then he wrote a letter to condemn the emperor, which made the emperor unable to step down.

According to Jiang Bin's intention, he might as well go back to Beijing directly, catch those people by surprise, and then declare victory.

But the emperor was so excited that he didn't listen to their advice at all, so he made an order himself.

"Don't worry! We won such a victory, and they must be happy. Isn't it a good thing to have fun together? When I came out, Yang Shoufu kept persuading me that I didn't believe what I could do. Let him watch this time." Look!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed excitedly.

……

"Jiefu, the emperor came back from a victorious battle and ordered all the officials to go to Deshengmen to meet him. Do you think we all have to go?"

Liang Chu shook his fat body and ran to Yang Tinghe's office excitedly.

Now in December, the Spring Festival is coming soon.

Even though the weather is cold, charcoal is burned in the offices of the imperial court, and the rooms of these cabinet officials are even more prosperous.

Liang Chu ate too much fat, and under the excitement of running, he actually broke out a lot of sweat.

"Uncle Hou, I already know."

Yang Tinghe was a little downcast, and his whole face was a little gray.

"Hey! I didn't expect this kid to really win the battle. I thought that he would come back after suffering a lot of hardships outside. Who knows that he won the battle. In such a situation, it will be even more difficult for us to restrain him in the future. !"

Liang Chu was also a little discouraged.

Since Zhu Houzhao escaped from Shangjing to Xuanfu, he has basically escaped their control.

Even though they could control the six ministries and the entire imperial court, and restrain Zhu Houzhao with those powers, they always felt that they had more energy than they wanted.

If it was better in Shangjing, now it is outside the customs.

Especially since he won the battle this time, it still caused a lot of influence on the Nine Sides, and the military officers are now a little ready to move.

"Uncle Hou, since the emperor asked all the officials to greet him, let's give the order directly!"

Yang Tinghe pondered for a moment and said.

"But the weather is so cold today, and the emperor doesn't know when he will arrive, so why not let all the officials stand in the cold wind of Baishengmen and wait?"

Liang Chu shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Uncle Hou, after all these years, why are you still restless? Didn't the emperor let all the officials share his joy? Then let all the officials go, let everyone be thanked for their sins, and naturally you can share the joy with the emperor." , I feel the joy of the emperor! Didn’t he make everyone happy? Let’s see if all the officials are frozen outside for a day, some of them will get sick, or even die, will they rebound? Will they still say that the emperor is wise? gone?"

Yang Tinghe had a mocking look on his face.

This little emperor is still too immature, and hasn't grown up in these years.

He just didn't understand, wouldn't it be nice for him to be his own emperor, enjoy life more, enjoy beauties more, and have more children?
What do you want to do if you have to toss and make trouble all day long?
That being the case, he wanted to turn his heart full of joy into coldness!

Let him see what he, Zhu Houzhao, can do without the support of those court people like them!
"Haha! Jiefu, you still have a way! Okay, let's do it! But it can't be too much. Those over 55 years old wait in the court hall, and the younger ones go to Deshengmen to wait. Be ruthless, naturally full of anger, and we don't need to encourage you to remonstrate at that time! Jiefu, don't worry, I will do it!"

Liang Chu laughed excitedly, and he was completely different from the previous displeasure.

Deshengmen.

Deshengmen, which was originally cold and deserted in winter, is now very lively.

A large group of officials stood in the freezing wind, stamping their feet and shaking their bodies.

"Liangchen, you said when will the emperor come? He has kept us waiting. Do you want us to freeze to death here?"

The speaker was Wang Yuanzheng, editor of the Imperial Academy, and a Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde.

"Your majesty is getting more and more outrageous. In such cold weather, people are waiting in the cold wind just because they have won a battle. And fighting is a matter for those generals and the Ministry of War. As an emperor, he left his post without authorization. For nearly two years, I ignored the important affairs of the court and ate, drank and had fun at the frontier! If Yang Shoufu and the others were not in the court, this Ming Dynasty..."

Pei Shaozong said angrily during the incident from the Ministry of Officials.

"Liangchen, don't make your voice so loud, be careful that someone will hear you..."

Wang Yuanzheng is still timid, he is only a small editor now, and he dare not speak out so righteously.

He and Pei Shaozong are from the same village, and they have a close relationship, so they have no scruples in speaking.

It's just that Pei Shaozong speaks straightforwardly. Under such circumstances, he actually said those words. If someone overhears them, it's true...

"What are you afraid of! Many people in this court have opinions, not only us, but also Yang Shoufu and the others! Datong often fights with the Tatars constantly, and those Tatars just grab some things and leave, which is worth a lot of money. Do you have human and financial resources to fight them? What's more, they were beaten away this time, and they will come again next time."

"Those Tatars are barbarians, and they have a serious desire for revenge. I heard that Yan Kehan ​​is dying, and his eldest son was also killed! It's no wonder they don't take revenge! When the time comes, Datong's frontier defense will inevitably have another round of battles." It was a bloodbath. You said, can't the emperor calm down?"

Pei Shaozong looked filled with righteous indignation.

"Liangchen, you don't want to give advice directly when the emperor comes back, right? Although you are in this position... But I am worried that the tree will attract the wind. It's not that you don't know the emperor's temper. We should keep a low profile."

"You! You are just too timid. You said that you have been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and now you are still an editor. Do you know why? You are too cautious. The chief assistant and the others actually supported us in doing this. You didn't read every This time, there are so many people in the early stage, it is a big deal to suffer the imperial scepter. The emperor is not very courageous. Anyway, he will not die. He is famous with Yang Shoufu and the others. What is there to worry about getting promoted? Let me tell you, this time you must..."

The sky gradually darkened.

"Will the emperor come back? It's not a problem that we've been waiting here! Is this going to freeze people?"

From dawn to dusk, the emperor still failed to come!
You can only go to the front to report how far the emperor is from Deshengmen, which is the same as the speed of a turtle.

The emperor was fine, he was tired, so he directly set up a tent to rest, but these officials waited in the cold wind for almost a day, and they couldn't rest well except for occasional warm soup.

At first, there were discussions, and then they even started to make noise.

As night fell, many people's restlessness even reached its peak.

"Go! Let's go! We're going back! Isn't this killing people?"

Someone shouted unbearably.

The crowd began to surge, and many people even started clamoring.

These civil servants usually look polite and polite, but when they get into a fight, their voices are louder and shriller than women.

"Everyone, stop arguing! Stop arguing! The emperor has already reached Deshengmen!"

"The emperor has reached Deshengmen!"

"The emperor has reached Deshengmen!"

The shouts of soldiers came one after another!
