What does it feel like to face a strong ruler? This can almost be said to be a distant memory for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, except for Hongwu and Yongle, the two emperors of the Mass were extremely powerful, and the other emperors of all dynasties had never made a truly powerful move.
At most, they are just bound to the imperial power and fighting against civil servants within the rules.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had never died, was strong for a while with his great military power, but the identity of the emperor was a symbol of power and a great constraint.
The Ming Dynasty lasted for more than two hundred years, and countless ritual rules have been woven into an indestructible cage, which in every aspect binds the emperor's words and deeds!
The court officials readily used the ancestral rules, like a killer weapon that must be killed, suppressing the emperor tightly.
His powerful and powerful plan was as powerful as Emperor Jiajing, and he was also overwhelmed by these ancestral rules.
However, all of this has been completely changed since the death of Emperor Chongzhen.
The court officials were able to use the rules of ancestors to suppress and refute the emperor, but now everyone knows that the person in power is not the young emperor who cannot speak coherently, but the Duke of Qin who holds heavy troops and has great military power.
Can the rules of ancestral construction still work?
A court discussion was not passed through the negotiations between the court officials, and even the Ministry of War, which had the right to appoint and remove generals, promote transfers, and train troops, directly mobilized dozens of generals and above, as well as thousands of soldiers at the bottom through the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
If this were the case, it would not cause too much fluctuation among the court officials. After all, no matter whether it is the Beijing Army, the Imperial Army, Ji Town, or Xuanfu, even the Ministry of War, it would not intervene at all. The promotion and transfer would never pass through the Ministry of War.
But now, the promotion of dozens of generals and the mobilization of more than 2,000 lower-level soldiers were not among the various subordinates under the Duke of Qin, but for the first time, it broke out from the scope of what was called Zhenbei Army by the government and the public, and reached the garrison towns in various places in the Ming Dynasty!
There are dozens of military positions with more than sect generals, and two thousand Zhenbei soldiers. Of course, among these nearly two thousand Zhenbei soldiers, the hundreds of Martial Academy students have to be included in the court officials who regard as thorns in their eyes...
These all spread from Zhenbei Army to other important garrisons in the Ming Dynasty with this mobilization.
There is an old saying that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone.
Nowadays, everyone knows the heart of the Duke of Qin.
How could the ministers in the court not see what this huge transfer and promotion mean!
It is true that everyone knows that the Duke of Qin is invincible in the battle, and that the elite troops of Zhenbei Army are known.
Such a large-scale mobilization and promotion will definitely greatly change the decay of the Ming army and reorganize the military power of the Ming army, which will be of great benefit to the current situation of civil unrest and internal and external troubles...
However, everyone can see that if the Duke of Qin successfully completed this step, all the entire Ming army would be completely held in his hands.
The power of the Ministry of War will be completely occupied by the Duke of Qin, and the military power in the hands of court officials will be completely lost.
Although this military power cannot give them any help, this power cares whether it is available or not, not whether it is useful...
The civil servants who had been low-key for a long time finally couldn't bear it under Li Xiu's heavy blow. The boiling scene in the court was also the first time that they had been staged in the Huangji Hall after they came to the court with the new emperor.
At this moment, after the gauze tent, facing the aggressive momentum of the court officials, Empress Dowager Zhou was dissatisfied with her face, her fingers tightly grasped the handkerchief, and her joints turned white.
Although it was a long time later, she had never seen such a boiling scene in the morning. Her helpless and weak eyes subconsciously looked at Li Xiu, who looked calm and unsuspecting, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Li Xiu was also stunned when he felt the gaze of Empress Dowager Zhou. After feeling the helplessness and cowardice in this look, he immediately realized that this scene probably scared the Empress Dowager who had never experienced the storm.
In this way, Li Xiu could only make up his mind to confirm the evolution of the situation and let him see the most real side of the court clearly.
As the thoughts circulated, Li Xiu stepped out and bowed to the emperor. Then he turned around and looked at the group of civil servants who were dancing happily.
At this moment, the passionate ended suddenly, and the eyes subconsciously gathered on Li Xiu.
"I dare to ask Mr. Sun Ge, Shaanxi, the Ministry of War has dealt with it for so long, why hasn't there any improvement? Instead, it has intensified?"
Just one short sentence left Sun Chuanting speechless.
Although the traitors in Shaanxi were dealt with by the Ministry of War, everyone knew and could see where the root of the problem was.
There are many reasons, and each one has sufficient room for excuse, but in his position, he cannot decide the matter. Then... all reasons are pale and powerless.
Li Xiu did not give Sun Chuanting too much time and asked again:
"The bandits passed by, and the prefectures and counties were afraid of it like tigers. I dare to ask Mr. Sun, why is this?"
At this point, Li Xiu looked around his ministers and said again:
"At the time when the thief chief Nurhaci led his army to march straight into the country, as if he had entered a no-man. I dare to ask all the officials, why is this?"
"Well, who can give me an answer? Who can give the court an explanation? Your Majesty an explanation?"
This statement came out and the whole court was silent.
The answer is obvious, but... who can say it?
In the past, these were tacit. At most, they would repair them in small fuss. They could see and use them. How could they be like now? They would be lifted off their underwear and carried directly to the countertop.
What's more, many of them are involuntarily...
"If you are in your position, plan your own affairs, and enjoy the salary of the court, then you will be responsible for the court!"
Speaking of this, Li Xiu paused for a moment, glanced at each minister present, and snorted coldly:
"Aren't you questioning the governor's disrespect for the ancestor system, acted recklessly, hidden evil intentions, and invaded your power?"
"Then the general tells you that I want to do things. You can either cooperate well or stay wherever you are cool. I am not afraid of what you are afraid of. What you dare not do, I dare to do, and those you dare not kill, I dare to kill!"
"In short, in a word, if you can manage it, this supervisor must manage it, and if you can't manage it, this supervisor must also manage it!"
"I am the governor of the Governor of the Five Armies, and he is in charge of the world's troops and horses, and he assists in the country in governing the country. I am the governor has this right and the ability to do so!"
At this point, Li Xiu took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed to the emperor again.
"The last emperor's will, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there!"
"I dare not forget!"
Immediately, Li Xiucai looked at the ministers again:
"In the Song Dynasty, the princes and princes had their words, that heaven changes are not worth fear, ancestors are not lawful, and people are not worth care for!"
"Today, I will give this sentence to you. I hope you can do it yourself in the future!"
