Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 7 What kind of slander is this?
However, some people are still a little skeptical: Emperor Taizu actually had a spiritual manifestation, and could he still be given great power?Never heard of such a thing before!Could it be that there is something wrong with the imperial case?
Among them, Li Ruolian, the chief minister of the Zhenfu Division, was in the Jinyiwei Yamen and was still the Zhenfu Division, so he was the most sensitive to certain matters.It is most beneficial to the people in the hall to admit that Emperor Taizu's apparition is true.

Therefore, I heard that he was the first to kneel down to Emperor Chongzhen and said excitedly: "Emperor Taizu appears, the Ming Dynasty is saved, long live my emperor!"

As soon as he shouted, Wang Chengen immediately knelt down and shouted excitedly: "Long live my emperor!"

When other people saw it, even if they still had doubts in their hearts, they were not fools. They naturally knew that it was best to admit this fact. Otherwise, how could the emperor suddenly have such great strength, how could he explain it?

As a result, a loud sound rang out in the hall and spread far away.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The maids and chamberlains outside the main hall were very curious when they heard this movement. They didn't know what was going on inside, so that there was such a big movement, and they sounded very excited.

One of the chamberlains told the people around him and then left in a hurry.

In the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the performance of the people in front of him. Just when he was about to speak again, two Qianhu arrived at the same time, both Qianhu from the imperial guard.

Li Guolu and Gao Wencai's military positions did not qualify them to be specially summoned by the emperor, so they were more excited than anyone else.Just now they heard the voice of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain", and after entering the palace, they saw the military attachés kneeling on the ground, all of them with excited expressions. They became a little nervous and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

When Emperor Chongzhen was about to say something, there was movement at the door again, but it was a palace maid.He recognized the person next to Queen Zhou, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

After hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly said: "The queen is worried about Long Live Lord's dragon body, so she asked the slave to come and ask when will we have dinner?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately felt hungry.So, he said without hesitation: "Just bring the rice balls here, I will discuss the matter while eating!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the palace was immediately surprised.

I have never heard of an emperor eating like this.

Liu Dai was a relative, so he was naturally more concerned about the emperor's dragon body. He also had the highest military rank present.Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. Eat first and then discuss matters!"

After hearing this, other military attachés also agreed, not daring to delay the emperor's meal.

However, Emperor Chongzhen still shook his head and said: "My conditions are much better than those of Emperor Taizu back then. Eating and discussing matters at the same time will not have any impact on the body. You haven't eaten yet, right?"

Having said this, he looked up at the maid sent by Queen Zhou and said solemnly: "Go and do it immediately. I want to have dinner with all the ministers in the palace to discuss matters."

After hearing this, the palace maid didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly agreed, and then hurried back to report to Queen Zhou, who would make the decision.

The military attachés in the palace saw this posture, as if they really wanted to discuss matters with the emperor while eating. Such a thing had never happened before.No matter from any angle, this is a trust in them and an honor to them!

After having a meal like this with the emperor, who would not envy him if he only had to mention it lightly when going out?
Thinking like this, they were all very excited.They don't know why, but they feel that the emperor is not as mean and ungrateful as others say. That is all slander!I would like to ask how many emperors and ministers in the past dynasties have been able to do this?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and demanded: "Each of you, tell me how many available troops you have on hand, how many infantry and how many cavalry? Remember, I want to be realistic and have available troops, and It’s not just a random weapon. In addition, based on what I know, where and who has the soldiers available?”

If he wanted to use Shanxi's terrain to block Li Zicheng's army and rush to rescue Zhou Yuji at Ningwuguan, he had to understand how many troops he had in his hands.As for the original memory of Emperor Chongzhen, it was not trustworthy at all. He could only count it himself.

After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and added: "I don't require elites. The infantry requires the ability to defend the city, and the cavalry requires the ability to travel day and night!"

After hearing this, the military attaches in the palace looked at each other, and finally began to report to Emperor Chongzhen according to their military positions. Wang Chengen asked his servants to record it.

Among these military attachés, Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Zhen had the largest number of troops. There were about [-] cavalrymen, but there were no others.The most are only a few hundred, while the few are only a dozen or so.For example, Liu Dai, the left governor, had a fictitious official position and did not actually lead troops. Therefore, he did not have any soldiers. Emperor Chongzhen reminded him that servants were also counted, so he counted five cavalry and seven infantry.

While he was busy here, Queen Zhou personally led a group of palace ladies and chamberlains and brought lunch, but it was not rice balls.

The palace maids filed in, assigned tables to each military attache, and then each brought a food box and set out the dishes and staple foods.

Emperor Chongzhen's side was arranged by Empress Zhou herself. At the same time, she said to Emperor Chongzhen with a worried look on her face: "Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body!"

She did not directly interfere with government affairs, but only reminded her that her health was important.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the woman in front of him. She had fair skin and a beautiful face. She was mature and steady, but there was a hint of worry visible to the naked eye.

With the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen, after hearing Empress Zhou's reminder, he said solemnly: "The national affairs are in critical danger. I, Emperor Taizu, received a reminder from a dream. If you want to do something extraordinary, just have a meal, don't worry. "

Queen Zhou was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen with even more worry in her eyes.However, she didn't say anything in front of the ministers. Seeing that lunch had been served, she led the palace maids and chamberlains to retreat.

Wang Zhixin hid in the distance and looked at the main hall from a distance. When he saw Queen Zhou coming out, he went over to greet her, pretending to meet by chance, and then asked Queen Zhou: "I heard that someone has slandered Lord Long Live, so that Lord Long Live doesn't even care about the dragon body. I'm really worried... I'm worried that Lord Long Live will do something inappropriate, hey..."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply, with a look of worry about Emperor Chongzhen.

When Queen Zhou heard what he said, her expression was a little strange. Emperor Taizu asked her in her dream to remind her, what kind of slander is this?

However, she immediately returned to a worried look. Even though she was in the harem and had no knowledge of the government affairs, she still knew that the situation was very bad. She was also worried that Emperor Chongzhen would do something out of control, so she said to Wang Zhixin: "Your Majesty said that Tai The ancestral emperor asked me to do something in my dream, so I have to do something..."

She actually didn't believe in the matter of dreaming. At most, she felt that she thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night, so she sighed softly and said: "You are the most trusted by His Majesty. Find an opportunity to persuade His Majesty!"

After saying that, she left with worry, leaving Wang Zhixin in a daze, even forgetting to send her off.
