Chapter 182: Chongzhen, who does not talk about martial arts
Emperor Chongzhen's voice echoed in the Huangji Palace, but it was like a thunder that exploded in the ears of the court officials.
After knowing that the emperor was going to hold a major court meeting, all the ministers in the court figured out that the emperor must have other deep intentions, otherwise he would never be so grand.
Now he's here.
Cabinet ministers such as Han Xu, Li Biao, and Zhou Daodeng, Liu Zongzhou, and Bi Ziyan, ministers of the courtyards, ministries, and temples, and military ministers such as Wang Qia and Li Banghua, all had different expressions on their faces, and they were secretly saying something in their hearts.
Even though Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, and Wen Tiren were always with Emperor Chongzhen, they should know more, but what Emperor Chongzhen said at this time still made them feel nervous.
They didn't know anything about this before.
"I guess...in the hearts of all of you, you are thinking about what I am going to announce at this time, right?"
Emperor Chongzhen, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, looked at the ministers standing in the palace with a calm expression through the dangling crown in front of his eyes, and said loudly: "I won't play riddles anymore. In fact, there is nothing to talk about. It's just that the Jianlu invaded earlier.
We, the Ming Dynasty, have set up a special military aircraft department in order to defeat the following invaders."
The Ming Dynasty was in dire straits, faced with frequent natural disasters and a collapsed financial system. In fact, there was one thing that Emperor Chongzhen had to solve.
That is the military problem of establishing captives and rogue bandits causing chaos.
The government of the Ming Dynasty, headed by the cabinet, focused on governing the world, such as dealing with military issues. Although it was true that there was a Ministry of War, its power was not powerful enough to compete with the cabinet.
Regarding military issues related to the stability of the country, although there are some civil servants who understand military affairs among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, most of them still don't understand. They feel that they can make pointers after reading a few military books, but this is not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.
of.
What Emperor Chongzhen wanted was for military planning to specifically focus on important military tasks and to obtain corresponding resources from the cabinet, under the authority of the authority.
It stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty already had the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Although it was ignored by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, if Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to achieve this political plan, wouldn't it be enough to directly activate the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?
Why create another military aircraft department?
It's not that Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to do it, but reality didn't allow it. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty took control of the Ministry of War and sidelined the Ming Dynasty's predecessors who had previously held power. How many interests were involved behind this?
Is it possible to think that the problems accumulated over the years can be solved overnight? Is it realistic?
Emperor Chongzhen had no extra energy or time to solve the messy military power issue on the premise of checking and balancing the court.
"…Through this battle against Jianlu, I found a special military aircraft department to take charge of important military aircraft tasks, coordinate the battle situation, and be able to efficiently upload and issue information."
Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The Jianlu raging in Liaodong and the rebellion raging in Shanxi and other places are all matters that must be resolved by our country.
Faced with such a situation, I need to reuse the Military Aircraft Department to handle emergency military affairs and liaise with the cabinet, the six ministries, local governments, and the counter-insurgency forces.
Therefore, I am determined not to withdraw the Military Aircraft Department. When the Ming Dynasty quells the rebels and rebels, we will discuss whether to abolish the Military Aircraft Department."
When the officials standing in the Huangji Hall heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, some were shocked, some were in disbelief, some were stunned, and some were excited.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, walked out of the courtroom with an excited expression, held the imperial hut in his hands and said: "I have never seen such a precedent in the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, our country has a cabinet and a Ministry of War. Even if there are important military affairs that need to be dealt with, they can still be solved, and the military aircraft department cannot be left behind!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Following Liu Zongzhou's footsteps, more than ten courtiers rushed out from the courtroom. They held the imperial hut, bowed their hands, and agreed resolutely.
Just because of a sudden war situation where the rebels invaded, there have been many changes in the country. Special agencies such as the Jingwei Governor's Office and the Nine Admirals were even created. There was even a large internal factory in the inner court.
Editing factory.
Under the background that the situation in the DPRK was confusing, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to prison, and the emperor showed strong performance, most of the civil servants in the outer DPRK did not want to see the permanent military aircraft department.
When will the rebellion be put down, and when will we discuss whether to dismantle the military aircraft department? It will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Liu Zongzhou and the others, then at Han Xu, Li Biao and the others. Even at this time, there were many voices coming from outside the Huangji Palace. The eunuchs outside the palace told them that those civil and military officials who were not of high enough rank to enter the palace
Minister, when they heard this shocking words, all of them were very excited.
The officials of the Ministry of War are relatively good. After all, Wang Qia, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Banghua, the Minister of the Ministry of War, still hold important positions in the Military Aircraft Department.
However, many officials from the military affairs department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, including departments and temples, rushed out and began to persuade outside the Huangji Hall.
"It seems that you gentlemen, didn't you hear clearly what I said just now?"
Emperor Chongzhen was not angry when faced with this situation, and said calmly: "What I said was a decision, not a suggestion. I am announcing this matter in the Huangji Palace today to inform you.
how?
Could it be that in the hearts of all the ministers, none of them want to watch the dynasty put down the rebellion?
Don't emphasize the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system to me inside or outside the Huangji Palace. I know it better than you.
I would like to ask your ministers, when Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Chengzu... were ruling the Ming Dynasty, did they ever encounter situations where there were strong enemies outside and rebellions inside?
At that time, our country still had five military governors' offices, and the Ministry of War was in charge of the world's military forces.
What now?
There is only one Ministry of War, but there are so many disturbances.
It’s okay to abolish the Military Aircraft Department, but let’s talk about the Fifth Army Commander’s Office!
Also, if anyone wants to threaten me by resigning, he should come forward now. If anyone asks for resignation in court, I will approve it immediately."
Emperor Chongzhen's words were very serious. As soon as he said these words, those ministers who opposed not withdrawing the military aircraft department were all dumbfounded. No one expected that the emperor would mention the matter of the Fifth Army Commander's Palace.
If we really want to go on like this, wouldn't the previously suppressed group of honorary relatives rise in the court again?
The matters involved cannot be decided by one person.
Through the words spoken by Emperor Chongzhen, the cabinet ministers headed by Han Xu and Li Biao all understood in their hearts how resolute the emperor's attitude was against the Military Aircraft Department.
