Chapter 4??

"Your Majesty, you must not move the capital. Li Mingrui misleads the country and the people, and he should be punished according to his crimes. If the emperor adopts Li Mingrui's advice, I will make a desperate advice. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will leave the court without watching the emperor bear the eternal infamy..."

The chief minister of the cabinet, Chen Yan, finally spoke again. This time he used his trump card and led many civil and military ministers in the court to resign.

When Chen Yan knelt down, all the ministers in Wenhua Hall knelt down, including the left censor Li Banghua.

Those who did not kneel down were Zhu Cilang and Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui.

Zhu Youjian's face turned pale, and he looked at the people kneeling in the hall and his body trembled slightly.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Chen Yan began to cry loudly, muttering about the Ming Dynasty. Under his leadership, many people also howled.

Finally, Zhu Youjian, whose face turned pale, spoke.

"I know your intentions. My ancestors have worked hard for hundreds of battles and have set up their thrones here. If I go alone because of the treacherous robbers and the threat of the Later Jin Tartars, how can I be worthy of the ancestral temple and the country, and how can I be worthy of the millions of creatures in the capital? Even if the matter is not done, the king will die in the country, which is the righteousness of the great power. I will never move south."

"Zuo Zhongyun Li Aiqing was just a suggestion from the morning court. Although it was abrupt, it could not be punished."

"Forget it, all my dear friends should be calm..."

Chen Yan, who lowered his head, looked up at the frustrated emperor and spoke loudly.

"The emperor, the wise and the ministers are so grateful..."

Seeing that Chen Yan and others were about to get up, Zhu Cilang smiled coldly.

"Father, don't worry. The Prime Minister's play has not been finished yet. Keep kneeling, and you guys will keep kneeling too."

Chen Yan, who was about to get up, looked up at Zhu Cilang, his face turned pale, and his raised body bowed down.

Inside the hall, it became quiet in an instant, and Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Cilang.

"What does the emperor want to say, just say it."

The proposal to move south was ruthlessly rejected. Zhu Youjian was extremely depressed and angry. However, he was the emperor and could not get angry easily. At this time, Zhu Cilang got angry and taught everyone a lesson, which was in line with his intentions. However, Zhu Youjian was still a little worried whether Zhu Cilang could truly teach and scold everyone.

"Father, my sons do have something to say."

After slightly tidying up his clothes, Zhu Cilang walked to Chen Yan who was kneeling.

"Mr. Chen, your passionate words just now moved Gu. You are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. The court is facing an extremely critical situation. As the chief minister of the cabinet, you naturally need to stand up, turn the tide, and set an example for many adults."

"And Lord Wei, you are the second assistant to the cabinet. When the court encounters a crisis, you come forward to resolve it and take responsibility."

"Gu has a suggestion to ask Lord Chen and Lord Wei to lead the soldiers of the Beijing camp to go to Tongguan to resist the army of the rebel Li Zicheng. Gu believes that Lord Chen and Lord Wei will definitely win the championship."

"The emperor is benevolent and righteous, but I am not good at it. First, villains and then gentlemen. In order to win this conquest, I suggest that Lord Chen and Lord Wei's family are not allowed to leave the capital for the time being. The court sends Jinyiwei to seize Lord Chen and Lord Wei's mansions to see how much money they have in their families. If Lord Chen and Lord Wei cannot resist the army of rebels, they will take out all the money from Lord Chen and Lord Wei's family, use this money to recruit the people of the capital, and form a large army to resist the rebels."

"I think that the Ministry of Revenue will arrange the order according to the ranks of the magistrates in the court. The first ones to go out to conquer were Lord Chen and Lord Wei, followed by cabinet ministers, six ministers and ministers, you are all loyal ministers of the Ming court. The emperor encountered a crisis and the court encountered a crisis. It was the time when you came forward to resolve the crisis."

"My lords always say that the emperor is so kind, and they say that everything you have is given by the emperor and given by the court. In critical moments, you will devote your manpower and financial resources. It is natural that you can swear on behalf of the emperor here that as long as you defeat the thieves and protect the capital, the court will reward you with great rewards..."

The dead silence in the hall.

Zhu Cixuan's proposal not only plundered the money of Chen Yan, Wei Zaode and many adults, but also destroyed their families. Such a proposal is too vicious.

The military officer, Shiheng-hyung, looked up at Zhu Ciyang and spoke loudly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong. This move is not in line with the ancestral system. Going out to fight is a matter of military generals in the court. Besides, when soldiers go out to fight, the court should care for their families. If they seize the family members of the soldiers and seize their property in their families, wouldn't they force the soldiers to rebel? Isn't they firmly opposed it..."

Zhu Cilang smiled coldly and walked to Guang Shiheng.

"Guang Shiheng, what are you? This country is the country of the Zhu family. If things are urgent, you will follow the power. In critical moments, as long as you get the emperor's grace, the ministers below will do it. Could it be that this country is from you ministers, and the emperor will also obey your mercy?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Cixuan kicked him up and pointed it directly at Guang Shiheng's head.

A scream echoed in the hall, and Guang Shiheng hugged his head and struggled on the ground.

Chen Yan and others looked up, looked at Zhu Cilang with a gray face, and lowered their heads tactfully again.

"Guang Shiheng's words are indulgent, and there are already strange intentions in his words. His heart is punishable. Such traitors not only harm the court, but also pollute the court. The emperor and sons propose to kill Guang Shiheng to correct the court."

Zhu Youjian widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Ciyang.

"Is this too much?"

Zhu Cilang bowed to his father, Zhu You.

"Father, Guang Shiheng is infatuating the crowd, and he didn't think about the emperor and the court, what is the use of keeping such villains? I just said that the father is kind and is for the people of the world. My son doesn't have so many concerns. If my father is not sure, I will fight for this life and kill this Guang Shiheng."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Cilang with a firm expression and stopped talking.

Chen Yan finally spoke.

"Your Highness, today's court discussion, Lord Guangshiheng also expressed his inner thoughts. He will not die of sin. Please think twice and do not disturb the court."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, Wei Zaode was also ready to speak.

Zhu Cilang waved his hand.

"Mr. Chen, have you led you to resign just now? Why did you speak again at this time? It seems that you don't want to lead troops to Tongguan to conquer. Lord. Chen, sir, I tell you, I have seen through your plan. Generally speaking, the matters that the court needs to decide are in line with your wishes. You speak up and say that the emperor is wise. If it does not meet your wishes, you will obstruct. If you see that the situation cannot be reversed, you will threaten to resign. The emperor is kind and cannot bear to live on the streets. I don't have so many concerns. Don't you think about resigning? Yes, but there is one condition. You were once ministers of the court and ministers of the emperor. There is no problem with your resignation. The emperor and the court have supported you and given you so much money. Do you also have to donate some money when you leave?"

"I suggest that anyone who resigns from office will send Jinyiwei to his residence to search for property, donate all the property in his home to the court, and help the soldiers in front of him to conquer the soldiers. The children in his family will also enter the army and fight in front to fulfill their loyalty to the court. Since you are loyal ministers of the court, you must do your best. My Ming court has lasted for hundreds of years, and there have been countless loyal ministers during this period. They are your role models."

...

There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one spoke.

Zhu Cilang looked at everyone indifferently and waved to the Jinyiwei guards guarding on both sides.

"Take Hiroshiki out and behead him..."

When he said this, Zhu Cilang looked at the Zuodu Censor Chen Banghua who was kneeling on the ground.

Chen Banghua spoke.

"Your Highness, you must not. Even if you are guilty, you will have to be tried by the Three Divisions. I have an offer and I beg the Emperor to allow it."

Zhu Youjian, who came to his senses, waved to Li Banghua.

"Li Aiqing, what do you have to write a memorial?"

Li Banghua stood up and spoke calmly.

"The emperor's words just now moved me very much. The king died in the country. Such a stern word is enough to make the emperor famous for all ages. The emperor cares about the people of the world and shocks the world and makes ghosts cry. However, I think that the situation will not develop to this point."

"I suggest that His Highness the Crown Prince will go to Nanjing to supervise the country, and His Highness the Crown Prince will go to Nanjing to stabilize the situation in the south, and that a large number of troops will be able to dispatch to the capital, and to gather money to send it to the capital. In this way, the crisis in the north can be resolved quickly."

"His Royal Highness went to Nanjing to supervise the country. This is the ancestral system of my Ming Dynasty. I think it is reasonable."

After Li Banghua finished speaking, Chen Yan, the chief minister of the cabinet, knelt on the ground, quickly looked up and spoke.

"What Lord Li said is that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness should go to Nanjing to supervise the country. In this way, the court can integrate the power of the south, and its troops and financial resources can rush to the capital. With the support of the south, the court will definitely be able to completely defeat the thieves and completely defeat the Later Jin Tartars."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, Wei Zaode spoke, and the other cabinet ministers also spoke, proposing His Royal Highness to go to Nanjing to supervise the country.

Chen Yan and Wei Zaode's attitude was more intense than before. It seemed that if the emperor did not allow it, they would continue to resign from their official positions and no longer serve as officials in the court.

Zhu Youjian obviously did not expect the situation to change so much. He was silent, looked at Zhu Cilang, and did not speak.

Wang Chengen beside him leaned over and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I think that what everyone said is true. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a guarantee for the country in Nanjing..."

Zhu Youjian turned his head and looked at Wang Chengen, thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I agree with your dear friends to let the prince go to Nanjing..."

Zhu Cilang turned around and clasped his fists at his father Zhu Youjian.
