Chapter 563
Emperor Chongzhen's questioning was an angry question, which was enhanced by the majesty of the emperor, which doubled the pressure on those civil officials who tried to distinguish. In the end, only his voice was left in the whole scene.

And the group of military generals standing underground, listening to the words of the emperor, nodded slowly.The specious truths in the capital's rumors, in the eyes of these generals, are simply ridiculous.However, they dare not say it!Otherwise, a nine-rank sesame official would dare to point their noses and scold them!

Zu Dashou saw that many civil servants turned green and pale after being questioned by Emperor Chongzhen, and suddenly felt from the bottom of his heart that this was really a relief.He looked at the emperor with admiration and appreciation. The emperor is still the same emperor, nothing has changed!Before he knew it, he had a little more confidence in the promise made by Emperor Chongzhen.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen finally finished asking, and all the civil officials bowed their heads, and no one dared to reply for a while.

However, these civil servants will not give up after all. It is impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to say a few words to really realize their own problems, or they know that Emperor Chongzhen is right, but they just don't want to admit it.

He only heard Cheng Jiming, the assistant minister standing in front, broke the calm, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's words are inappropriate. It is the duty of warriors to fight bloody battles. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, the country will fail, and there must be military laws." ..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and said coldly: "In this way, it is normal to say that one must do the best in one's job? In that business, it is the duty of warriors to fight bloody battles. What about you civil servants? Distinguish right from wrong, know the seriousness of the matter, and manage this country for me? Who caused the riots in various places? Who caused the famine and death?

Emperor Chongzhen's rhetorical questions one after another made Cheng Jiming's forehead start to sweat, and he couldn't help feeling very regretful.At this time, he already understood that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen was silent before was not because he couldn't withstand the pressure, but because he was silent before the storm!

I don't know what's going on, but since Jianlu invaded Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen seems to be a different person. When something happens, he has his own opinions. It can be perfected and supplemented.

Could it be that after Emperor Chongzhen had been emperor for more than two years, he had become enlightened, and it was not easy to be fooled!

Although Cheng Jiming came to such a conclusion in his heart, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he could only refute it to the end.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he bit the bullet, stared at the majesty of the emperor, and continued to play: "The matter of civil and military matters is really different! A warrior only needs to go all out, but civil matters are complicated and changeable. , it is really difficult, for example..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen angrily interrupted: "Warriors only need to go all out? Just ask Zu Qing and the others, can they win and fight a good battle as long as they go all out?"

The emperor was speaking for their generals, and Zu Dashou had already trusted Emperor Chongzhen even more. Even if the civil officials would retaliate afterwards, he didn't care about it, and immediately nodded cooperatively.The other military generals were more concerned, and few of them nodded.

"Everyone has only one life, you risk your life to show me?" Emperor Chongzhen stared at Cheng Jiming, glanced at the civil servants who came out below and asked, "Did you dedicate your life to you?" Literary matters, or do you mean that being an official is only for glory and wealth?"

At this time, not only Cheng Jiming, but many civil servants who were impassioned just now were already sweating, and their faces were very ugly.

"Where is the commander of Jin Yiwei?" Emperor Chongzhen shouted after sitting back on the throne.

Liu Xingzuo immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and replied loudly: "The last general is here!"

"Tell me about them, and let them listen for themselves."

"Observe the decree!" Liu Xingzuo received the decree loudly, then turned his head to look at the civil and military officials below, took out a notebook from his sleeve, and read aloud: "The assistant minister Cheng Jiming, held a banquet on the fifth day of April in the third year of Chongzhen... ..."

He read it aloud, telling all the things about these civil servants seeking pleasure, and many of them even talked about their private affairs in the government office.

These things are actually very common in the Ming government, and everyone has become accustomed to them.But at this time, the topic is about conscientiousness in work, and explaining that it is normal for soldiers to use their lives, so what about civil servants?When these things are said one by one, it is a slap in the face!
Liu Xingzuo's small book actually involved more people.However, adhering to the holy will, he only singled out those civil officials who jumped out to make trouble.Suddenly, someone's sweat began to drip down.Don't be afraid to say, just be afraid to compare!
When Liu Xingzuo finished reading and retreated, Emperor Chongzhen sneered again: "What hurts me the most, and what I hate the most is that the soldiers are risking their lives, but some people are thinking of ways to erase their credit, even at the expense of Use various methods to attack them and drag them back! Do you know what pig teammates are? Do you know why Ming Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by a tribe in such a large empire? You have been a disaster!"

These words were serious, and several civil servants who jumped out suddenly had their legs weak and fell to their knees.However, Cheng Jiming still gritted his teeth and insisted on it. He knew that in the current plan, only by insisting on one thing can he escape the catastrophe.

So, he bit the bullet and continued to argue: "Your Majesty, everything should be judged by the result. Even if the ministers and others have fun, they have always been conscientious and dare not make mistakes in official affairs. As for the Liaodong War, the result is still the same. Jianlu occupies Liaodong, and there is nothing to show for it..."

Still arguing, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, as if he heard something very funny.When Cheng Jiming heard it, his heart sank.He understood that after the emperor laughed, there must be sharper words.But don't be afraid, as long as you kill him, you won't get any results. It's all fake to kill Jianlu and boost the morale of the Liaodong Han people.

As he was thinking here, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stopped laughing, pointed at Cheng Jiming, and pointed at the civil servants below and shouted loudly: "So, you all mean the same thing. If Liaoyang and Anshan post castles are taken back, they will not Forget it, right?"

Without hesitation, Cheng Jiming nodded immediately and said, "Recovering the lost ground, where the Ming flag is, is a real achievement, and no one can erase it."

The other civil servants nodded and agreed with Cheng Jiming's statement. After all, this is the straw they can grasp at the moment.

"Hehe..." Emperor Chongzhen sneered, "Okay, then I will show you the achievements of the soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials felt baffled, what credit, what do you think?
Just as they were thinking, before they had time to speak, they heard movement outside, faint voices approaching from a distance, and it seemed to be mixed with fanatical cheers!

 The monthly ticket is 50 more, and there will be an update at night!
