Chapter 185 Tianqi kicked the civil servant angrily, it was you who ruined the country and the king!

Geng Zhirong looked at his father Geng Jingyu in surprise: "Father, are you?"

Geng Jingyu glanced at him and said, "His move Xia Yizhong is indeed vicious! It is precisely because of it that we can't do it hard anymore! Those who know the current affairs are heroes. We cannot give him the opportunity to share our Geng family's land."

"But if you kill Magistrate Xu, will you anger King Lu?"

Geng Zhirong asked.

Geng Jingyu smiled and said, "The reason why King Lu raised his army was that the court treated the royal family and the officials and gentry harshly, so he had to raise his army, and he accepted wise men and treated gentry politely, so that he showed that he was more kind than today's son. So, he really wanted to be

If he wins the world, can he still dare to investigate us gentry? If he dares to investigate, he will smash his own sign and ruin his foundation!"

"My son understands. Now he would rather offend King Lu than offend His Majesty!"

"If you offend Your Majesty, you really want to confiscate your family and destroy your clan. If you offend King Lu, you can't punish the doctor."

Geng Zhirong replied.

Geng Jingyu nodded: "Go and do it. By the way, I wrote a letter to your second uncle who was the magistrate of Zhending, and took advantage of the opportunity of many of our gentry and wealthy families to support the rebels. On this grounds, they organized the people to serve as soldiers and divide the gentry.

The fields should be settled and told him about the gentry. He will know what to do at that time."

"yes!"

...

"The emperor, Geng Jingren, the prefect of Zhending, has issued a notice in the newspaper published by the rebels, saying that he has followed the request of all the scholars and people in the palace to support the Lu Wang Fengtian Jingshen!"

Baoding Prefecture.

Where the apocalypse temporarily resides.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came here and handed a report of the rebel officers obtained by the Jinyiwei to the Apocalypse.

Apocalypse was quite angry after seeing it.

Because Zhending Prefecture is an important town that attacked the capital by land, if Zhending loses, there is only one gateway to Baoding, which can protect the capital.

What's more, the Apocalypse is now in Baoding Prefecture.

Historically, Li Zicheng's partial army attacked Beijing first captured Zhending Prefecture and then went north to attack the capital.

Therefore, the officials and gentry of Zhending Prefecture voluntarily surrendered to the rebels, which made Tianqi very angry.

The court officials who followed the entourage were also very panicked.

There was any suggestion that Tianqi would return to the capital immediately.

There are also those who insist on Baoding and immediately fell into more troops going south.

Some people even made suggestions to move south while the water was still in the hands of the court.

"What a panic! It's just that the officials and gentry of Zhending Mansion surrendered to the enemy, and it's not the main force of the rebels who came to capture Zhending Mansion!"

But just as many court officials were in a panic, Zhang Gui shouted angrily.

"Zhang Qing is right, it's just that the officials and gentry surrender to the enemy. There is no need to be too nervous. Before my personal army can compete with him, I will judge the success or failure. Even if I lose, I can't be so panicked!

”

Zhu Youxiao said, "Did you forget about Tumu Fort?"

As he said, Zhu Youxiao said, "Don't panic in everything! Passing my order, the Imperial Guard Battalion suppresses the army's words that are not conducive to suppressing the rebellion. The Jinyiwei is responsible for suppressing the rebellion in Baoding City. Once these words are deliberately spread and panic

Those who kill without mercy on the grounds of disrupting the hearts of the army and the people!”

"yes!"

At this time, the Grand Secretary Xie Sheng, who was in charge, said: "Your Majesty, the governor Geng Yuren, surrendered in the city. Although he was unfaithful and treasonable, this matter still explains some problems. It is undoubtedly because the scholars and officials were unable to receive respect from the court. Since ancient times, the sages and wise men have been silenced.

All of the dynasties governed the country with benevolence. Now that they have reached this point, I believe that Zhang Guojiu has to bear great responsibility."

Xie Sheng said that and glanced at Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui sneered: "What does his relationship with Geng Yuren's rebellion against the king and the country? Can this marquis decide whether he can surrender to the enemy by a civil servant?"

Xie Sheng said: "My uncle knows that if we reach this point today, the benevolence and cruel officials will be rampant. Who is it related to?"

"Even if the world is as bad as you said, it is not a reason why Geng Yuren offered to the city to surrender to the enemy."

Zhang Gui replied, and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty! I think this is also an opportunity now, a chance to see how many loyal ministers and generals I have in the Ming Dynasty who have the country and the people! I think it will not be my Ming Dynasty.

Everyone was unfaithful minister. Because the rebels used their abilities to induce them, they all followed the country and the king!"

Tianqi nodded: "You are right, I also want to see how many such unfaithful ministers I have in the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, if you want to say that you are unfaithful, I will first impeach Xia Yunyi for being unfaithful. As the governor of Henan, this person is not actively exercising the attack. He must be secretly engaging in the rebels, and even suspected of raising thieves and respecting themselves!"

"I would like to dismiss Xia Yunyi! I will choose another minister who knows the army as the governor of Henan, and then quell the rebellion as soon as possible!"

Chen Bingyi, the director of the staff, also started talking at this time.

Tianqi couldn't help but ask: "Is there any evidence that he secretly communicated with the rebels?"

Chen Bingyi replied: "Not yet, all of them are reported and conjectured by the order! But Your Majesty, the ruler has always been suspected of being guilty."

"Then I suspect that I am by my side, I am using counter-speech tricks to get rid of a capable minister. Can I also conclude that you are accused of colluding with the enemy?"

Tianqi asked Chen Bingyi back.

Chen Bingyi was stunned.

Your Majesty, you will not learn from others like this.

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, and how could I do such a despicable thing!"

Chen Bingyi immediately denied.

Tianqi snorted and said, "However, I have to ask about Xia Yunyi's current situation. Ministry of War, Xia Yunyi may be delivered urgently recently."

"Return to Your Majesty, Xia Yunyigang reported that he had recovered Meng County and Wen County."

Lu Xiangsheng replied at this time.

After hearing this, Apocalypse nodded: "It's not bad."

"Your Majesty has just said, I dare not agree!"

Because the Ming Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, Tianqi was still willing to let the ministers speak, and could tolerate not agree with the voice of his emperor.

Therefore, these civil servants still actively expressed their different opinions.

At this time, the Censor Lu Chunru refuted what Tianqi said and said, "Your Majesty, Xia Yunyi, as the governor, has only captured several county towns yet, but has not been able to suppress the rebels, and even made the rebels grow bigger and bigger.

He also allowed Zhending Mansion to return to the rebels, allowing the rebels to threaten the capital, which shows that this person is extremely incompetent!"

"Your Majesty! I also believe that Xia Yunyi is indeed incompetent, at least he is afraid of the enemy. Perhaps the so-called recovery of several county towns is a fabricated good news! I'm afraid he has not even killed a rebel now!"

Xie Sheng, the Minister of Rites, also questioned Xia Yunyi's ability.

Tianqi glanced at these people and said, "I believe in him, Xia Yunyi, this is the end of this. If there is any confusion of the morale of the army, behead him!"

Because Tianqi said this, the ministers had to shut up.

The next morning.

Tianqi, Zhang Gui and his group, and a 50,000 army, came to Zhending Prefecture City.

"I call your Majesty. My Imperial Guard Battalion secretly captured a escort official who wanted to surrender to the rebels. This person is Zhao Jiding, the head of the Ministry of War. He is specially escorted to the imperial court and ask His Majesty to leave!"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly walked in and reported it.

After hearing this, Tianqi laughed furiously and said, "I'm in a hurry to change the camp so quickly? How disgusted are you? I'm disgusted with the court."

As he said that, Tianqi ordered: "Come on!"

Not long after, Zhao Jiding was taken over.

Tianqi looked at Zhao Jiding and asked, "Why do you want to escape and surrender to the enemy?"

Zhao Jiding didn't expect that he was so lucky. He wanted to sneak into Zhending Mansion and surrender to the rebels to make a new career, but was discovered by the secret whistle of the Imperial Guard Camp!

He knew that he had no way to live, so he replied truthfully: "Of course he doesn't want to be with the treacherous ministers!"

"Even if you regard us as a treacherous minister, you shouldn't surrender to the enemy."

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhao Jiding replied: "There are still people who do not want to be foolish ministers! Your Highness, Lu, respects etiquette and benevolence, values ​​Confucianism and virtue, and has the appearance of a wise ruler. Instead of like Your Majesty, he only knows curious skills and lewd skills and absurdity, and is the king of the country who destroyed it.

also!"

Apocalypse's face sank.

"Zhao Jiding! You are arrogant!"

Zhu Guozhen, a Grand Secretary who had never spoken, couldn't help it at this time and shouted angrily.

Zhao Jiding smiled and said, "Gei Master, isn't what I said below? The king regards his ministers as grass, but the ministers regard him as enemies. It was him who regarded our scholars and officials as thieves first!"

Bang!

"It is clearly these people among you who have no king or country first!"
