Although the Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City in Nanjing was ready for use after preliminary repairs, Zhu Cixiang was still not used to summoning ministers here.
This grandest palace in the Forbidden City gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Even Zhu Cixiang, a nobleman from Tianhuang, felt very uncomfortable.
Therefore, apart from using it once during the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Cixiang never stepped into Fengtian Hall again.
According to Zhu Cixiang's wishes, major court meetings were held in the Jinshen Hall, while small-scale meetings between monarchs and ministers were held in the Wenhua Hall.
The monarchs of the Ming Dynasty had a customary place to summon their ministers.
It was said that Zhu Cihong's father, Emperor Chongzhen, liked to summon ministers at Yuntai Gate.
Yuntai Gate is a platform behind Jianji Hall, opposite Qianqing Gate.
Therefore, it is also called platform calling.
However, Zhu Cixiang didn't like gathering his ministers outdoors very much.
Spring and autumn are better, but summer and winter are completely miserable.
Today is the third day of May in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, eight days since Zhu Cihong ascended the throne.
The trivial matters have basically been dealt with, and Zhu Cixiang can finally discuss the Ming Dynasty's national policies with his ministers.
The ministers summoned by Zhu Cixiang included Shi Kefa, the chief minister of the cabinet and a scholar of Zhongji Palace, Zhang Shenyan, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Lu Zhenfei, the minister of the Ministry of war and a scholar of Dongge University, Liu Zongzhou, the minister of rites, Jiang Yueguang, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Ma Shiying, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Ma Shiying, the minister of the Ministry of punishment.
Gao Hongtu, the minister of the Ministry, and Wang Duo, the censor of Zuodu.
All the officials of the six departments and the censor of Zuodu were present, making this meeting between the emperor and his ministers like a small court meeting.
Zhu Cixiang was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves, and a winged crown on his head, sitting on the throne of the Wenhua Hall.
The ministers were all given seats and sat carefully on the brocade pier given by the emperor.
It was the beginning of May in Nanjing according to the lunar calendar.
It was already a little hot in Nanjing.
Even though there was a maid fanning behind him, Zhu Cixiang still felt hot in his chest.
He cleared his throat and said: "When I first ascended the throne, I should have been exempted from taxes and granted pardon to the world.
However, there are thieves and chiefs inside, bandits and seals, and there are Tartars and barbarians outside who are causing trouble.
The most important thing right now is to support the country and revive the country.
Dear Ming Dynasty, may I have a good idea?"
Ma Shiying, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, said loudly: "I have a plan that can defeat the common bandits and kill the intruders in one fell swoop."
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said, "What good ideas does Mabu Tang have?"
"I think that Wu Sangui should go quickly to help.
There is millet to pull in the sea and Jin Shenghuan to send, and Sangui can send money to the captives.
Ma Shaoyu and Chen Xinjia, the former magistrates of the county, used to send money to the captives.
In the past, they made a policy, and now they have a higher policy.
When Send it to the governor for advice."
Zhu Cixiang's face immediately turned cold.
Did Ma Shiying still think that Wu Sangui was a loyal minister who used Ping Kou as a prisoner?
"What do I think?"
Zhu Cixiang turned his attention to Lu Zhenfei again, hoping that the Minister of War, whom he single-handedly promoted, would give a different opinion.
"I think Wu Sangui's actions are no different from treason."
Lu Zhenfei said with a solemn expression: "Wu Sangui led his troops to guard Shanhaiguan.
When Shenjing was besieged, the late emperor issued an edict and ordered him to lead his troops to enter Guan Qinwang.
However, Wu Sangui dragged his troops all the way.
After arriving in Yongping, he heard that Shenjing had been defeated, so he took refuge Just go against the odds.
Because his father Wu Xiang was tortured by the rebels, he returned to Shanhaiguan in anger.
The rebels saw Wu Sangui surrender and rebelled again, so he led his army to Shanhaiguan to crusade.
Wu Sangui simply surrendered because he could not support him.
How could such an unfaithful and unjust person be rewarded and reused?

" Zhu Cixi nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, he was right.
Lu Zhenfei saw the problem very clearly.
At the end of April, the Shanhaiguan War still happened, and it was almost the same as the original historical time point.
After the fierce battle with Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui felt exhausted, so he gritted his teeth and surrendered to Donglu.
Dorgon was naturally willing to see this situation.
He waited for work and suddenly rushed out to clean up the mess when Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui were both injured.
Li Zicheng's troops were defeated and fled all the way back to Shenjing.
Afterwards, just like the original history, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Shenjing on April 29th, and led his troops to leave Shenjing and evacuate to Xi'an the next day.
Afterwards, the Qing army stationed in the capital and took control of the Jifu area.
However, Shaanxi and Shanxi were still within the control of Li Zicheng, and most of Jiangnan was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
As for Henan and Shandong, they were in areas where no one had any control, and no party could effectively control this area.
Now it is really a three-legged situation.
"I also thought Wu Sangui should not be relied upon."
Zhu Cixi finally spoke up.
"Wu Sangui wants nothing more than glory and wealth.
For the sake of glory and wealth, he will not only abandon his biological father, but also his father and thousands of compatriots.
Don't you all know that Wu Sangui has been named the King of Pingxi by the chief of the Donglu chieftain?"
Although Zhu Cixiang's voice was not loud, it was full of force, revealing the majesty of the young emperor.
All the ministers looked at each other.
They really didn't know that Wu Sangui had been named King of Pingxi by the Donglu chieftain.
Ma Shiying's face turned pale.
He had just tried his best to speak for Wu Sangui and wished he could describe Wu Sangui as a loyal and upright minister like Guo Ziyi.
However, the emperor immediately slapped him in the face.
If Wu Sangui had not surrendered completely, how could the chief have named him King of Pingxi?
Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, coughed and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Wu Sangui is not trustworthy, the strategy of using captives to quell the invaders is indeed feasible."
Zhu Cixiang sighed in his heart, why couldn't these people see the situation clearly?
The strongest one today is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, followed by Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty is the weakest.
If the Ming Dynasty united with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to destroy Li Zicheng, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty would immediately turn its guns towards the Ming Dynasty.
"What do you think of the chief minister?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Shi Kefa again.
Shi Kefa, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
"Your Majesty, the old minister Fuqi sent down the military department and gathered the court officials.
It was planned to punish the civil and military personnel, either by going to the leader of the captives, or by first communicating with the nine chiefs.
Use the edict to quickly draft it, use silver coins, quickly buy it, and go with him.
A certain number of officials should be paid a certain amount of money, and the preparations are all set to start within the month.
The common people will not be nameless, and the bandits will be eliminated in one fell swoop."
Well, the chief minister of his cabinet came to disrupt the situation in person.
Zhu Cixiang was angry and laughing in his heart.
He originally had a good impression of Shi Kefa, but now it seems that he is also a mediocre person.
But he could still speak so grandly about the money he paid to Donglu, so it was natural.
"I think the chief assistant's words are wrong."
Lu Zhenfei's voice sounded again.
"It is wishful thinking to use money from the Eastern captives to quell the invaders.
Today, the situation in Jiangsu is even more difficult than that of the Jin and Song Dynasties.

They are shouldering the burden and facing enemies on three sides.
I remember the late emperor who died in the country one after another, and I remember the three hundred years of giving birth to Guizhou.
Li Jinwei If you are not aggressive, your defense will not be strong.
If you ask for help from Turks and recruit troops from Khitan, you will be unprepared from the past.
If you drink Ma Chang and Huai, If you are rewarded for your extravagant work, why should you refuse to be a prisoner in the future?"
"Okay, my soldier said that from today on, anyone who proposes to send money to Donglu will be killed immediately."
Zhu Cixiang looked around at the ministers and said resolutely. s: Thanks to the book friend Han Chong Sheng Sheng and the Ageless Fatty for the 100-coin reward:
