Chapter 541 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (30)
Chapter 541 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (30)
After hearing the scholar's words, the people in the royal family felt suddenly enlightened.
Yes, they are also descendants of Emperor Taizu.
Since the brothers and sisters of the royal family are incompetent and cannot protect the Ming Dynasty, what's the point of them taking their place...
The world is in chaos now, and that position should be occupied by the most capable person.
With this crazy idea, the contacts between the royal family and the Donglin Party became closer.
At the same time, many officials in the court also began to contact members of the royal family in private, trying to create a bright future.
Zhu Youjian's heart was in turmoil every day when he heard the news brought by his subordinates.
He really didn't expect that someone in the royal family would actually harbor such thoughts.
And the Donglin Party members...
He originally thought that although the Donglin Party members were somewhat extreme in their actions, they still had the necessary integrity and bottom line.
Now it seems that it is not entirely true...
Eighth sister is right. How capable can a group of people who can’t even pass the imperial examination be?
Now I just hope that all the officials in the court will not be confused. Otherwise, given Eighth Sister’s temper, she will definitely kill so much that the operation of various departments will be affected.

Zhiyu led the ministers out of the capital leisurely, but did not rush to the border. Instead, he observed the people's livelihood along the way, stopping and walking.
After leaving the capital for more than two months, the group only managed to get to Pingyong, which was not far from the capital.
Jian Zhiyu was not in a hurry to go to the battlefield, but the people accompanying him were anxious. At the rate they were going, when would they reach the border?
Nurhaci has been dead for two months. Even if the Later Jin Dynasty had an internal conflict because of Nurhaci's death, the conflict should be over by now.
If they don't rush to the border now, they will face the powerful Later Jin soldiers.
Didn't Your Majesty want to take us by surprise? Why aren't you in any hurry now?
They followed His Majesty to the battlefield with the determination to die, but death can be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather, and they also wanted to die for a good cause and with value.
If they go to the battlefield slowly like they are now, what value can they bring?
With such a mood, the ministers began to make memorials to Zhiyu, asking him to speed up his journey.
But after seeing the memorial they sent in, Zhiyu not only did not order to speed up the journey to the border, but instead said that he would stay in Pingyong for a few days to wait for someone.
When the ministers heard Zhiyu's decree, they found it outrageous. It was His Majesty who said that he had to rush to the battlefield, and it was also His Majesty who stopped here.
Matters of family and country are no joke. What is Your Majesty doing?
Before the ministers could guess Zhiyu's thoughts, an unexpected person suddenly appeared in front of them. This person was the eunuch the ministers hated the most, Wei Zhongxian, the 9,900-year-old emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"This old minister pays homage to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
In a house in Pingyong, Wei Zhongxian stood in the reception room and saluted Zhiyu.
Zhiyu waved his hand, "Master Wei, there's no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhiyu leaned back in his chair and asked Wei Zhongxian with a smile, "Sir Wei, how is the capital now?"
"Are those people preparing to rebel?"
Seeing Zhiyu smiling, as if she was not talking about others rebelling against her, but about what she was eating today, Wei Zhongxian felt terrified.
He considered himself a courageous man, otherwise he would not have been able to stand out from the eunuchs and reach his current position.
But the girl in front of him was obviously only of coming-of-age age, and her face still had a bit of childishness, but her methods were impatient and unusually sophisticated.
The country and the people are so important, but she can actually make a joke of her own country.
Isn’t she afraid that those people will really succeed in the rebellion?
Despite what he was thinking, Wei Zhongxian still answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready in the capital, only the east wind is missing."
Hearing this, Zhiyu nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, let's give them some encouragement."
"I brought the ministers to Pingyong and spent a lot of money."
"I wonder if the combined wealth of those people can cover the cost of my trip..."
