When Wu Fan arrived at the Huangji Hall, all the civil and military ministers in the court had already arrived. This court meeting was different from the last one. The last court meeting had Zhu Youlin's rumors that confused the public, and Emperor Chongzhen was usually mean to others, so the ministers

The hearts of the people were floating and scattered. Since Wu Fan replaced Chongzhen, he roared like thunder on the Golden Palace for the first time and cursed the ministers vulgarly. Instead, the ministers saw the courage of Wu Fan and B City to die with the Ming Dynasty.

and determination.

The second time the prophet suddenly ordered the deployment of troops, and the disaster was put out before the rebels set fire to the city, which made the ministers see Wu Fan's shrewd and ruthless side. In addition, during this period, Wu Fan turned against Chongzhen

The performance of the struggle for power with the courtiers was to delegate all powers. Unless there was a major event, they would always draw a circle on the memorial without adding a word of criticism, which made these ministers feel that they had met a wise king they had never seen before.

All of the above made the unity among the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty reach an unprecedented height. Therefore, after learning that the rebel Li Zicheng had arrived on the outskirts of City B, no one panicked, and all the ministers who were qualified to go to the Golden Palace participated.

During the court meeting, this could be regarded as Wu Fan's mistake, and he inadvertently established unprecedented prestige among the officials.

Wu Fan was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the voices of the ministers calling for long live the mountain, his eyes narrowed in pride, it felt so good, well, the feeling of this dragon chair was so good!

Since the contact between Wu Fan and Li Zicheng was a secret, except for Wang Chengen and Li Jiantai who was still outside the capital, even important officials such as Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua had not heard a trace of it. Therefore, after meeting Wu Fan, Fan Jingwen left first.

Play something.

"Your Majesty, I think you already know that the rebel army of Li Zicheng has arrived on the outskirts of the capital. What is especially hateful is that Li Jiantai's army stationed in Baodingfu actually came with Li Zicheng's rebel army. The veteran believes that Li Jiantai has surrendered.

I have surrendered to Li Zicheng. I am sure that Your Majesty has issued the Qinwang Order and summoned all the kings from all over the world to quickly come to the capital to relieve the siege. I will guarantee with my life that the capital will be safe within half a year."

Before Fan Jingwen finished speaking, a large group of ministers came out and called to Wu Fan in unison: "I second my opinion!"

Before Wu Fan could reply, Li Banghua came out angrily and said: "Your Majesty, Li Jiantai is treasonous and his crime cannot be pardoned. I ask your Majesty to issue an order to execute Li Jiantai's entire family in a hurry as a warning to others!"

A large group of censors behind Li Banghua stood up and shouted, demanding that the nine clansmen of Li Jiantai be killed together.

Behind Wu Fan, Wang Cheng'en watched the ministers of the court angrily asking for various issues such as defending the city, asking for help, punishing the traitors, and killing the rebels. He couldn't help but look behind Wu Fan with his eyes, and his heart was full of

He expressed his respect for Wu Fan and his contempt for these courtiers: What are you making a fuss about? How could you have known that today's wise and wise gods are wise and wise? Before you knew how to deal with Li Zicheng's army, the emperor had already begun to plan how to recruit Li Zicheng.

Well, even if you can bloom a lotus flower with your tongue, how can you compare to the emperor who has millions of soldiers in his chest?

Wu Fan secretly suppressed a smile and watched the ministers in the court offering their suggestions. This feeling was very interesting. Although the matter had been solved, there were still so many people who were anxious and angry about it, which made Wu Fan quite a bit nervous to watch the show.

The feeling of a big drama.

After everyone had spoken and everything they could say had been said, Wu Fan said with a smile: "Dear ladies, I understand your feelings very well, but there are some inside stories that you don't know yet. In order to let you

To find out what happened, I will take you to the Yongding Gate today to see with your own eyes what is so great about Li Zicheng's soldiers."

Wu Fan's words immediately made all the ministers commotion. Fan Jingwen stood in front of the golden steps with a red face, waved his arms and gestured to Wu Fan and said: "Your Majesty, there are traitors in the state. The responsibility lies not with the king but with the ministers."

, it was all because of the incompetence of the ministers and others, which led to chaos in the world and widespread refugees.

Now that the traitor Li Zicheng is approaching the capital, I will definitely defend the city and wait for the arrival of King Qin's army. When I reach the city gate, I will face the traitor directly. There are many dangers. How can your majesty, the king of ten thousand chariots, venture into danger lightly?

"

Li Banghua also faced Wu Fan with a stern face and was about to speak. Wu Fan stood up from the golden dragon throne and looked unusually amiable with a smile: "Haha, dear friends, I have never done anything like this since I came to the throne.

What are the things that make people angry and resentful, but they still make the world of Ming Dynasty full of wars and wars. During this time, I have been thinking about how I can govern the world in an orderly manner like I, Taizu Taizong of Ming Dynasty, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment.

This Li Zicheng can be regarded as a talent. He was originally a small postman, but in just ten years, he rose up in the wilderness, surrounded by talented people, and swept over half of my country. I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what this Li Zicheng has grown up to be.

What does Li Zicheng look like? Hear with your own ears why Li Zicheng wants to rebel against me? Today Li Zicheng came to the capital, and I just happened to see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears. It can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes. My dear friends

, Today I invite you to come with me to the top of the city tower and accompany me to meet the outstanding people like Li Zicheng!"

This speech was not thought up by Wu Fan himself. It was a draft that Su Zhenhai secretly gave to Wang Chengen when he met with Li Zicheng in private. Wang Chengen and several eunuchs who were in charge of rituals revised the speech for two days before it was finally finalized.

draft.

Su Banxian told Wu Fan that Li Zicheng's acceptance of recruitment, if properly interpreted, would definitely become a shocking event, laying a solid foundation for Wu Fan to stabilize the Ming Dynasty in the future and achieve an unshakable foundation. So,

Although Wu Fan was unwilling, he still tried hard to memorize a few lines that might be used. Of course, Wu Fan did not memorize them completely by rote. What he said was much more popular.

Wu Fan held his head high and separated the courtiers who came to block him, and walked majestically outside the Huangji Palace. Wang Chengen followed Wu Fan solemnly, helping Wu Fan push away the courtiers who were blocking him from time to time, and stood firm together.

and walked outside the palace.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua looked at each other. At this time in the capital, the two of them could basically be regarded as the leaders of the civil and military ministers. Even if there were several officials or titles above him, they were not as good as him.

A person's prestige among courtiers.

Both of them saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes. There was no need to say anything. Since the emperor decided to go up to the tower to face the rebels, naturally he, as a minister, could only stay by his side. Even if any dangerous situation did occur, he would use his body to deal with it.

We must not only block it, but also ensure the safety of the emperor.

Fan Jingwen, Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, Wang Jiayan, Meng Zhaoxiang and other courtiers who were absolutely loyal to Wu Fan silently followed Wu Fan and walked out of the palace together. Some courtiers who were originally prepared to stop Wu Fan from going out saw Fan Jingwen and others.

He was stunned for a moment, and no longer tried to stop Wu Fan. He also joined Fan Jingwen's team and followed Wu Fan silently.

The most peculiar and spectacular scene of the Ming Dynasty occurred. Headed by the current emperor Wu Fan, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK, as long as they had a rank of fifth rank or above, all lined up in two rows and followed Wu Fan, filing out of the Chengtian Gate.

They came out neatly and solemnly. Not to mention that the ordinary people who saw this scene were stunned, even the well-informed guards who had been on guard duty at Chengtianmen all year round were stunned by the scene before them.

Of course, Wu Fan would not just lead his ministers to Yongding Gate. The capital is so big, it would be dark by the time they reach Yongding Gate. As long as they walk out of the palace, there will naturally be a large number of dragons and dragons arranged by Wang Chengen in advance.

The carriage was for Wu Fan and the courtiers behind him to ride.

Li Banghua deliberately wanted to ride with Fan Jingwen, so naturally he had something to discuss with Fan Jingwen. After getting in the car, Li Banghua cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Qi, there seems to be something wrong with the emperor's behavior today. There should be something going on that is being hidden from us.

A few days ago, Mr. Zhi, you uprooted the imperial guards in the capital. Is this related to today's incident?"

It turned out that King Min's possible rebellion was too serious. After Fan Jingwen reported it to Wu Fan, he blocked the news. Even Li Banghua, who was the censor of Zuodu in the Supervisory Council, did not hear the slightest news. He only knew that Fan Jingwen was suddenly ordered to do so.

The Holy Order surrounded and suppressed the Imperial Guards in the capital, and nothing else was known about them.

Fan Jingwen shook his head and Li Banghua said: "Master Li, it's not that I don't want to tell you. In fact, the emperor has a strict decree that the matter of the Jin Yiwei cannot be spread to outsiders. However, I can assure you that the matter of the Jin Yiwei has absolutely nothing to do with today's events. But Your Majesty

Some things must have been arranged behind our backs. When the ministers were making trouble in the Golden Palace, I didn't pay much attention to it. I only realized it later.

Li Jiantai, Mr. Li, was clearly leading troops to garrison in Baoding, why did he suddenly appear in the capital? Later, Li Jiantai did not return to his hometown at all, but came out of the palace and returned directly to Baoding. At that time, I suspected that Li Jiantai had the emperor's gift

Secret decree. This time the rebel troops pressed the capital, Li Jiantai not only did not resist, but instead followed the rebel army as if monitoring and following. Even if there was no war, it did not look like they were surrendering. What is going on here is beyond my control.

You can guess it."

Fan Jingwen's words caused Li Banghua to nod frequently. Li Banghua had countless censors in the Supervisory Council as his eyes and ears, so he would naturally get more information than Fan Jingwen. He had also long been aware of Li Jiantai's unusual actions, and Li Banghua had already made plans.

Li Zicheng was prepared to submit the memorial, but he wasted the opportunity to fight and was dishonest to the king. However, he did not expect that Li Zicheng would act so quickly. Before he could hand over the memorial, his troops had already arrived in the capital. Moreover, Li Jiantai not only did not resist, but also seemed to have fought with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng reached some kind of agreement, and the two troops arrived outside the capital at the same time.

Due to lack of intelligence, Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua failed to figure out what Wu Fan wanted to do after a long discussion. When the carriage stopped, the two looked at each other, nodded slightly, opened the door and left the carriage.

, since you can’t guess the story, just wait for the ending.

After Wu Fan came to Yongding Gate and got off the Dragon Boat Festival, he did not wait for anyone else and walked straight up the stone steps to the top of the city tower. The officials behind him got off the carriage and still followed Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, and boarded the tower together.
