The Last Action Is His Chapter 6

In less than half an hour, most of the military officers who received the summons had arrived, except for two centurions, who did not know which garrison they were from, and therefore had not arrived yet.

In the main hall, Charles Wang served on one side of the emperor, and the eunuchs on both sides were also Charles Wang's men.

The military officers in the hall stood in two rows according to their ranks, with different expressions, some were excited, some were confused, and some were worried, and so on.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that the number of people was almost enough, he put down his red brush and stopped writing and drawing the plans for the next few days. He looked up and glanced at the military officers in front of him, feeling a little emotional.

Among the many military officers in the capital, only the less than twenty people in front of us died for their country. Of course, there may be more, but there is no record.

All the military officers here were not the ones that Emperor Chongzhen originally trusted the most. It is a great irony that those who received the most favor from the emperor betrayed the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said with a serious expression: "The capital is in danger now. I want to do something extraordinary to save the nation. You are my most trusted generals. Are you willing to follow me and sacrifice your lives?"

Hearing this, the generals did not hesitate, and responded in a loud voice: "We are willing to die for our country!"

After he finished speaking, Lucas Liu, the highest-ranking governor of the Left, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The bandits are still far away. The imperial edict has been issued, and the generals from all over the country have arrived. The capital should be safe!"

The situation in the world is indeed not optimistic. The thief Li founded a country in Qin and claimed to have a million troops, which was very impressive! However, if they said that the capital was in danger, it would still be a bit of a worry for them.

After Lucas Liu said this, the other generals basically had the same idea, or perhaps they wanted to comfort the emperor, so they nodded in agreement.

But who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen would say in a firm tone: "Yesterday the bandits broke into Taiyuan. Once Shanxi falls, the bandits will surge in. How many generals will come to defend the capital? How can we defend it?"

Hearing this, all the generals were a little confused: What does that mean? Did the bandits break into Taiyuan yesterday? Taiyuan is not outside the capital. If it happened yesterday, even if the news was delivered by express at 800 miles, it would take at least three or four days to receive it! Did the emperor make a slip of the tongue because he was anxious?

Thinking of this, Deputy General Henry He started to speak: "Your Majesty, the bandit army has just entered Jin territory. There is the Yellow River along the way, and Taiyuan is heavily guarded. Even if the bandits want to take Taiyuan, it will probably take one or two months, right?"

Among these generals, even though he was the most knowledgeable about military affairs and held a high military rank, he did not dare to point out the emperor's slip of the tongue. Instead, he analyzed the current situation for the emperor so that the emperor could understand that he had just said something wrong.

However, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "I am not wrong. The garrison troops in Jin surrendered upon hearing the news. Taiyuan fell yesterday. Governor Mason Cai committed suicide and died for his country..."

At this point, he saw that most of the generals in front of him did not believe it, and he knew what they were thinking, so he changed the topic and asked: "Are you wondering how I know about the battle in Taiyuan thousands of miles away?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lucas Liu heard this and responded on behalf of the other generals.

Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for this sentence, and immediately explained: "I heard from Emperor Taizu in a dream this morning! Emperor Taizu not only told me about Taiyuan, but also showed me what will happen in the future."

At this point, he looked at Lucas Liu and said, "More than a month later, the bandit army arrived at the city. Liu Qing died for his country, and his entire family burned themselves to death."

Then, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Henry He and other generals and spoke to them one by one.

"He Qing was guarding the Pingze Gate. When the enemy army arrived, he led more than a thousand cavalrymen to fight hard and died in battle."

"He Zan, the deputy governor, saw the enemy approaching the capital and fought against them, but was shot to death by arrows."

"Li Ruolian, assistant to tHenry Hefusi, was assigned to guard Chongwenmen. When the city was breached, he hanged himself."

"Commander Gao Jia, his wife Xu, daughter-in-law Wang, daughter Gao, brother-in-law Liu, and niece Gao hanged themselves. Commander Liu Yisong and his wife Wang hanged themselves. Captain Gao Wencai's family of 17 all committed suicide."

...

When Emperor Chongzhen pointed at them and introduced their future, everyone was very surprised and it was unbelievable! Not only was it hard to believe that Emperor Taizu had sent a message in his dream, but it was also hard to believe that they would die soon and their family members would die with them!

Although they knew that Emperor Taizu had told them in his dream that they were loyal subjects, and they were happy about it, but at this moment, they still didn't want to believe it. In just a month, their whole family would die, and they really didn't want to accept such a result.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Lucas Liu started to speak: "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so you have such a nightmare. Think about it. Our Ming Dynasty has been established for 276 years. How could it be because of this incident..."

Before he could finish, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted him sternly, glanced at the generals in front of him and said: "Emperor Taizu has given me great power and warned me that only by doing extraordinary things can we have a chance to save the nation!"

After hearing this, Lucas Liu and others still didn't believe it and wanted to persuade him again.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands, grabbed the imperial desk in front of him, and lifted it up easily.

This time, he was prepared, so the imperial desk was held flat and the things on it did not fall off like the first time.

This action immediately stunned all the military generals, including the eunuchs including Charles Wang, and their eyes popped out.

These were not civil officials, but military officers. They knew how heavy the imperial desk in front of the emperor was. They estimated that if they were to lift the desk, it would be very strenuous.

As for the emperor lifting the imperial desk with such ease, that is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the emperor in front of him was weak and frail, having grown up in the deep palace. He had never heard of an emperor with such great strength before. How could he lift it up so easily?

If chins could drop to the ground, there would definitely be chins dropping all over the ground in the hall at this moment.

To them, this scene was actually not much different from seeing the legendary gods!

Seeing their stunned expressions, Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the result, so he gently put down the imperial desk and asked them, "How about it? Do you believe that Emperor Taizu appeared?"

After he said this, all the stunned people in the hall came back to their senses.

They looked at each other, all of them were very surprised. This scene just now was really unbelievable!
