April of the twelfth year of Hongde.

It's dawn.

"Da da!"

"Da da!"

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of Shenjing City. A horse galloped from the north, and a small bright yellow flag stuck behind him fluttered in the wind.

The yellow horse under the seat was already tired, his eyes were red and his mouth was foaming, but the rider still waved the whip without hesitation and kept whipping the horse's back.

"An urgent report from the eight hundred miles of Liaodong!"

"The person who blocks the way will die!"

"An urgent report from 800 miles from Liaodong! Those who block the way will die!"

The sound of horse hooves and the sharp whip sounded, and everyone along the street hurriedly dodged.

This is an expedited speed of 800 miles. He was really blocked in front of him, and even if he was hit and killed, he would not have to seek justice.

That's it.

Amid the crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves, the messenger quickly left with the dust.

The people on the street behind him looked at each other, not knowing how big the matter had happened in Liaodong, so they actually sent 800 miles to rush.

Everyone was talking for a while.

...

In the Palace of Peaceful Heart.

"The 800 miles of Liaodong were urgently reported that the Jurchen barbarian Nurhaci raised 50,000 troops a month ago and wanted to invade the territory of our Great Zhou. Fuyu, Duoyan and the three guards of Taining were defeated by him..."

"Bang!"

On the high platform, "Emperor Hongde" looked gloomy and threw the urgent report in his hand directly on the imperial case.

"Parent Qiu, take the memorial and give it a good look to my ministers!"

Qiu Shi'an hurried forward and said respectfully: "Abide by the order!"

The urgent report was brief, with only a hundred words in total. Everyone could read a rough look with just one glance.

A few moments.

After reading the urgent report, all the ministers couldn't help but fall into silence.

The three guards of Duoyan are lost!

It was fought by the Jurchen barbarians whom they had never looked down upon, and the opponent's troops were only about twice the size of the soldiers guarding the city...

This is fucking!

All the ministers felt that the cool breeze was gushing from their back grooves.

But on the surface, all kinds of words rebuked by the Jurchen barbarians were thrown out as if they were not worth it.

On the platform.

"Emperor Hongde" stood there with a expressionless face, listening to everyone scolding the Northern Jurchens indignantly, with neither sad nor happy expression on their faces, which made the ministers' hearts slam.

After a while.

"Emperor Hongde" continued: "After Nurhaci captured the three guards of Duoyan, he then set up his troops outside the pass and soon arrived at the city of Liaodong. All the pillars of the Great Zhou Kingdom must give me a complete solution as soon as possible!"

It suddenly became quiet.

The ministers below, "...Why is this a perfect solution?"

"What happened just now?"

Look up and look up.

The smile-like expression of "Emperor Hongde" made all the ministers' hearts thump.

It is said that since the Chinese New Year, "Emperor Hongde" has changed his past style in the court and handled all matters, and his killing is also very decisive.

All ministers love and hate.

I love "Emperor Hongde" now, I can be said to have rewarded merits, and countless people in the court have been promoted.

It’s hateful that “Emperor Hongde” also hates this.

Today's court is not very friendly to those ministers who are taking advantage of the troubled waters.

Because of the one above, he is really ruthless if he has something to do!

From the beginning of the year to now, it has only been three or four months. The number of officials who have been imprisoned or have been scattered and exiled has reached more than ten. On average, two unlucky guys have to be carried away every time in the dynasty.

So at this time, when many ministers could not help but tremble when they heard the question "Emperor Hongde" above.

Immediately bowed my head, some ministers found some shocking secrets in their hands, while some ministers saw a flower growing on the ground under their feet...

It's very interesting, it's very good to look!

Don't look up...

At this time, Zhong Shoucai was a little unable to stand up. Others could fool him. As the Minister of War, he couldn't fool him!

In helpless.

Zhong Shoucai, the Minister of War, had to step forward with a fierce look under the burning gaze of "Emperor Hongde", "Your Majesty, I think that the Jurchen barbarians dare to offend our Great Zhou Tianyan, and should immediately send the Liaodong army to wipe out the enemy!"

"Send the Liaodong army?"

On the dragon throne, "Emperor Hongde" snorted coldly.

"The three guards of Duoyan are stationed with nearly 20,000 defenders, and they are also guarding the city. It is still difficult to resist the attack of the Jurchen barbarians, causing all the three acropolis to fall into one battle.

The average level of the Liaodong army is even slightly inferior to the defenders of the three guards of Duoyan, and the number of people is only more than 50,000. If you really want to take the initiative, can you defeat the 50,000 Jurchen army?"

"this……"

Zhong Shoucai was speechless.

"If you don't understand military affairs, you can talk less and watch more, and you can save yourself such jokes."

"Emperor Hongde" looked at Zhong Shoucai below with a faint look, "I remember that Zhong Aiqing was promoted to the Minister of War as a civil servant?"

Zhong Shoucai was immediately shocked and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, yes!"

At the same time, Zhong Shoucai was also secretly complaining in his heart.

Could it be that the unlucky one today is me?

"As the Minister of War, you can actually say what you said just now, which shows that you don't even have a bad attitude towards military affairs, so don't take a seat here!"

"Emperor Hongde" above turned around and asked Sheng Zongan, the Minister of Works, who was standing aside, "I remember that the Ministry of Works still lacks a left minister, right?"

Sheng Zong'an's heart skipped a beat, why did he touch my Ministry of Works again?

No matter how much I complain about it in my heart.

On the surface, Sheng Zongan stepped forward with a calm expression, "Reply to Your Majesty, I am about to ask Your Majesty for this matter..."

But "Emperor Hongde" no longer looked at Sheng Zong'an, but turned his attention to Zhong Shoucai again.

"Is Zhong Aiqing willing to work in the Ministry of Works?"

"I obey the order!"

Zhong Shoucai immediately knelt down and received the order. Although he was demoted to the Left Minister of Works, he had not been taken away yet, right?

This is already a blessing to invite heaven!

Zhong Shoucai, "I am content..."

Sheng Zong'an, "..."

It seems that I didn't see the embarrassment on Sheng Zong'an's face.

"Emperor Hongde" nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, the cabinet obeyed the order and immediately drafted the order, saying: Zhong Shoucai, the former Minister of War, will be transferred to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Jia Zheng, the former Right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and will be promoted to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works..."

Zhong Shoucai,(>﹏

"...Isn't it the Left Minister? Is this a level of loss?"

Jia Zheng, who was admiring the floor tiles behind him, "Am I promoted again?"

Sheng Zongan's heart was filled with tears at this moment.

He seemed to have seen a large amount of small money that had already fallen into his pocket, just growing a pair of wings and flew away...

It's like losing one's parents.

After replacing the top leader of the Ministry of War and appointing the second and third leaders of the Ministry of Works, "Emperor Hongde" pondered for a moment and continued to talk about the appointment of the Minister of War.
