Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 153 Dispute
When Zhu Yousong announced his beheading plan to his close ministers and servants, a large number of people knelt down in front of him and behind him.

"Your Majesty, no." Now Lu Jiude, the chief eunuch who supervised Henan, has also completed his mission and returned to Beijing. Hearing that Zhu Yousong was going to take this risky move, his beardless white face became even paler in fright, and he knelt down. Lying on the ground, he persuaded, "Liu Zeqing is notoriously vicious, Your Majesty must not risk his life."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are a body of gold. Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the country of the Celestial Dynasty. What if something goes wrong?"

Li Guofu, Gao Hongtu, Zheng Hongkui, Liu Zhaoji and other civil and military ministers all knelt down. Although they knew Zhu Yousong's temper, once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change, but this time they tried hard to admonish Zhu Yousong, hoping that Zhu Yousong would take back his order.

"Let's get back together, sir, I appreciate your kindness." Zhu Yousong also sighed, the emperor must be forced to be an assassin, Zhu Yousong looked at them, "Then you say, If I don’t do this, what can I do? Compared with Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing is more reactionary. He supports the soldiers and refuses to listen to the court. In the future, I will definitely take the path of rebellion or being a traitor. If this thief is not eliminated, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. What advice do you have?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I think that beheading can be carried out, but it must not be done by His Majesty himself. The Heavenly Dynasty is so big that there are many dead men, and there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Your Majesty can choose a suitable person to sneak into Huai'an to assassinate Liu Zeqing, and then take advantage of them. When the dragons have no leader, raise troops to control them." Gao Hongtu played.

"That's right, that's right, Gao Ge is right." The two eunuchs Lu Jiude and Li Guofu applauded.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to bother to choose, I am not a talented minister, I am willing to take a trip to Huai'an." Zheng Hongkui bowed his hands and saluted.

Liu Zhaoji said: "Your Majesty, it is more appropriate for mere officials to go. Governor Zheng has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. I am the Commander of the Imperial Army. This matter is duty-bound."

"Master Liu's words are wrong. The brothers in the imperial camp are still waiting for the training of the adults. How can we leave?" Zheng Hongkui refused to give in, and the two fought.

Zhu Yousong stopped the two with a wave of his hand, civil and military officials, court ministers, and eunuchs. These people have always been at odds. Civil officials suppress military generals. Military generals look down on civil officials. , but now these contradictions are so synchronized, which is rarely seen in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yousong was really moved, but still shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe in Erqing's martial arts. You and Liu Zeqing are ministers in the same palace. Hidden assassination is not feasible at all. Thousands of people are seen through. Not to mention, it's bad luck." My big event. Choosing someone else is because I don’t have time, and second, it’s difficult to find someone who can bear the heavy responsibility. This matter must be unexpected to succeed, and I have this condition. For its diagnosis and treatment, he, Liu Zeqing, never dreamed that I would have such a trick, and when he saw the flaw, his head had already fallen to the ground. Then the imperial court will press down on the situation with heavy troops, which can turn the tide."

Several civil and military ministers shook their heads, "Your Majesty can't do it. Although this plan is wonderful, it is not easy to say. It is inevitable that there is one in a thousand miles. Even if Your Majesty can succeed, how will you retreat safely in the future? Liu Zeqing has an army of [-], and there are as many people loyal to him as a cow's hair. His Majesty withdrew his order, and another strategy is the best."

Zhu Yousong resolutely said: "I have been thinking about it for several days, and there is no other way, and Qing and others have nothing to do. This is the only way, so it is decided. You only need to keep the secret strictly. Wait until I arrange everything carefully, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub?"

Just like that, Zhu Yousong made another decision. The civil and military ministers and eunuchs present grinned. The emperor himself acted as an assassin, which is unprecedented!

In fact, there is no need for Zhu Yousong to emphasize the confidentiality work. These people have long become Zhu Yousong's loyalists.

"Your Majesty insists on going, but I dare not dissuade you, so you must bring me with you. Your Majesty can change up in disguise, and so can I." Zheng Hongkui said.

"That's right, that's right, I'm the commander of the imperial battalion, and it's my duty to protect His Majesty's safety, so of course I have to go." Liu Zhaoji was not far behind.

Zhu Yousong looked at the persistent expressions of the two generals, and thought: "Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo are newly dead, tens of thousands of captives have to be reorganized, and the civilian and military generals in the original jurisdiction of Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo are also searched. There are many things in the Ministry of War. Mr. Gao Ge One person is too busy, and the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office needs assistance. This trip to Huai'an is getting less and less. You have a heavy burden. This time, let Liu Aiqing and Li Quan escort you. Liu Aiqing is an angel officer, and I and Li Quan are both Imperial doctor, let the soldiers and horses from Kaifeng, Xuzhou, Sizhou, Zhenjiang and other places get ready to cooperate with King Qin."

The matter was settled in this way, several civil servants and military generals left the West Terrace of Wuying Hall to go, Zhu Yousong specially told the two eunuchs to keep this matter top secret, even the Queen Jin had to keep it secret, the two eunuchs worked hard Er nodded.

At this time, a little eunuch's unique shout came from outside: "The empress is here——"

The Golden Empress brought a group of court ladies and several eunuchs to the door with their lunch boxes. After the eunuch shouted, the others stood still, and the Golden Empress entered like a bird.

For this cheap wife, Zhu Yousong also likes it very much. Needless to say, the golden queen is beautiful. She was chosen by the master of imperial jade and the original owner of this body. Song served impeccably, and when she couldn't handle it on the bed, she took the initiative to choose Chan'er to serve Zhu Yousong. She was so considerate, which was commendable compared to the queens and concubines of all dynasties.

So Zhu Yousong greeted him with a smile, and the Golden Queen wanted to salute. Zhu Yousong took his little hand and gently moved it around. The Golden Queen threw herself into Zhu Yousong's arms like a pet, and murmured coquettishly.

Zhu Yousong's bold and open move caused the two elders to bow their heads and back out in a hurry.

For Zhu Yousong's enthusiasm and unrestrained eclecticism, the Golden Queen has long been used to it, so she acted coquettishly in his arms as if no one else was around, twisting her waist and hips, her eyes were full of affection, and her waves were full.

The soft and crispy jade in his bosom made Zhu Yousong, whose physical age was only in his twenties, react strongly. When he wanted to undress and take off his belt, the Golden Empress came out of Zhu Yousong's arms with a charming smile, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty , it's time to eat, or it will be cold."

Zhu Yousong knew that Empress Jin was teasing on purpose, so he said with a smirk: "Okay, okay, eat and eat, I will be more energetic after eating, is Chan'er here?"

The Golden Empress' face was flushed, her chin was slightly emerald, and she called to her superiors to prepare the royal meal.

The eunuch and maid came in, the food was set, and the eunuch and maid were serving, and the husband and wife poured wine together at the table. At this time, Chan'er, who was slightly powdered and wore a gauze skirt as thin as onion wings, walked in, and while dancing, her soul-stirring eyes aimed at Zhu Yousong's face, which made Zhu Yousong I don't know the taste of meat.

"Your Majesty, eat quickly." The Golden Empress sent a delicious meal into Zhu Yousong's mouth coquettishly.

"Oh... eat, eat..." Zhu Yousong said, looking at the impatient empress of the Golden Queen, stroking her buttocks with one hand, and began to chew...
