"presumptuous!"
Wang Wen shouted loudly: "Now that the world is at peace, the seas and rivers are clear, and the chaos of seedlings is no more than the disease of ringworm, scabies, and mustard, why bother your majesty to go on a personal expedition? Sirs! Have you forgotten the changes in Tumu Fort? Have you forgotten the siege of Beijing by the Ola soldiers? Are you done? Do you want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please do not listen to my good advice, and never leave the capital easily! I ask your Majesty to kill the people who advised you to go on an expedition! This is a statement that will bring disaster to the world. I ask your Majesty to kill all nine of their clans!"
Wang Wen was passing a ladder to Zhu Qiyu, and he must not leave the capital. Leaving the capital would be a dead end.
Doesn’t Zhu Qiyu know? The problem is that if you brag, if you give in, wouldn’t you be inferior to the Baozong? What a Zhang Shi, he just opened his mouth with a poisonous plan and sent me to my death! I still have to accept the move! So cruel and poisonous!
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "What the Heavenly Official said is true. The Heavenly Official cares about the noble people of Huguang, and I am very relieved."
"My lords!"
"I understand your intention! The Supreme Emperor went to the north to hunt Wala and led an army of 600,000 people to go to war! I want to imitate him and recruit an army of 600,000 people to go to war. Hundreds of officials from the capital and their families will accompany them to conquer the Miao rebellion! Put an end to the Miao rebellion in Huguanggui in one go. , put down the rebellion, subdue the kings, let the noble people of Huguang recuperate, and restore peace to the world, what do you think?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered again and again, "Okay, don't you just let me, Yujia, die!" Then let's die together! Take Daming with you to death!
Wang Ao's expression changed and he summoned 600,000 troops. Was the emperor going to repeat the Tumubao Incident? The key is to bring hundreds of officials and their families with them, which is a mess! Who knows whether they will kill the emperor or the emperor will kill them. If not, the emperor will die and the civil servants will die too. It will be very lively to recreate the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. It’s all Zhang Xian’s bad idea! Make it impossible for this heavenly official to come to Taiwan!
The ministers suddenly became silent, and His Majesty went crazy. The power was too great. No one wanted to take their family members to go there in fear. If they really couldn't come back, they might as well be yes men in the court, so they all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead, as if they had just forced the emperor to do so. It's not like they are the ones receiving remonstrance.
Seeing that all the civil and military officials were silent, Zhu Qiyu called his name: "Tianguan, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I think that recruiting an army of 600,000 is too much of a mobilization of troops. Moreover, if such a large army is recruited, I am afraid that there will be no troops to defend the border. I am worried that Oara and Tatars will take the opportunity to attack our border with the Ming Dynasty, and the people at the border will be worried. Therefore, I suggest that we recruit ten Just ten thousand troops." Wang Ao said bravely, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Can the Huguanggui Miao Miao be pacified by recruiting a hundred thousand troops? Has the Heavenly Official misjudged the strength of the Miao rebellion?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers in surprise.
The square was completely silent, and all the civil and military officials seemed to have their heads stuck in a pile of firewood, all supporting Wang Ao mentally.
Wang Ao was forced to stand up and had no room to retreat. He could only answer bravely: "Your Majesty, the country can mobilize only more than 200,000 troops. If all of them are mobilized, the borders will be empty and the capital will be empty. Moreover, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be empty." The left branch and the right branch are weak, and I am afraid that there is not enough food left to support the 600,000-strong army for the expedition, so I suggest that your Majesty just recruit a 100,000-strong army."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Tian Guan is the new Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he is worried about the Ministry of Husbandry, hey!"
"Forget it, the matter of my personal expedition has been decided, so let me pass on the edict. At the request of the important ministers in the court, I want to imitate the Supreme Emperor and personally lead the army to quell the serious troubles in the Ming Dynasty. The seedlings in Huguang are valued. Within ten days, I will mobilize all roadsides. The army is marching into Beijing, with an actual strength of 600,000, and one person is indispensable! The Ministry of Household Affairs, prepare the expenditure for 600,000 troops within a time limit, and I want to lead the expedition myself!"
"Another order was sent to the generals at the border gates, telling them that there is no need to guard the border gates. The most serious problem in the Ming Dynasty is the rebellion of the Huguang nobles and the Miao people! These are the ministers of the Ministry of official affairs, Wang Ao, the cabinet minister Li Xian, the nobles Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, Wang Ji, etc. I will follow the advice of the civil and military officials in the capital! The Oara and Tatars are not a personal problem. As long as the seedlings are pacified, the Ming Dynasty will be able to release the horses to Nanshan and put the swords into the treasury! Cabinet, please draw up the decree!"
boom!
The square exploded! The emperor did not die himself, but sent Ming Dynasty to die! If the border is no longer needed, won’t the capital become a place where people and horses trample?
Wang Ao's whole face turned green. These words didn't need to be spread to the border. As long as they were spread out of the palace gate, the students in the Imperial Academy would spray him to death! The emperor is not sending his chariot to die, but sending Wang Ao to die!
With a pop, Wang Ao knelt softly on the ground, kowtowing and banging!
"Your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ao defended loudly: "I have absolutely no intention of giving up the border, and I have never said that the Miao rebellion is a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty. I dare not say such treasonous words as abandoning the border! Your Majesty, I only suggest that your Majesty suppress the Miao rebellion. , No, I am just responding to Zhang Xi’s advice. I just think Zhang Xi’s words are reasonable, so I advise your majesty!”
Wang Ao got scared and started to blame others, but could he do it?
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Does the Heavenly Official think that I have recruited too many troops? Then five hundred thousand, and then send an order to the generals at the border to leave 1,800 people to guard. It's quite interesting. Anyway, the Miao rebellion has been put down, and Wala People and Tatars will disappear automatically. This is the advice of the heavenly officials and the meaning of the civil and military officials in the capital! I have no choice!"
"When the Supreme Emperor conquered Oara, he mobilized for ten days. When I conquered the Miao rebellion, I mobilized for five days. I really can't wait. The problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years has finally been solved. I am very pleased! If the Miao rebellion is quelled, my achievements will be great. Yu Taizu and Taizong, he is the first king of China throughout the ages! Tianguan is a rare talent in China for four thousand years. If the king of Zhongshan, King Kaiping, Duke Ying and other heroes cannot reach him, I can get it. It’s an honor! It’s an honor for all the ministers! It’s an honor for Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Qiyu was actually very excited, pacing back and forth, eager to try.
Bang bang bang!
Wang Ao desperately buckled his head, his forehead was bruised, and he burst into tears: "I beg your majesty to forgive me! I just agreed with Zhang Shi's words. Without thinking, I knew I was wrong! I beg your majesty to take back your order, and please sit still in the center. Never go on an expedition in person! Please forgive me! Your Majesty, please be merciful and forgive me for my inappropriate remonstrance!"
"Um?"
Zhu Qiyu was surprised and said in a strange tone: "Tian Guan, what do you mean by this? Tian Guan advised me to go to the imperial army to fight in person, and I followed it; Tian Guan advised me to recruit border troops to Beijing, and I listened; I praise Tian Guan as one of the four great powers of China. The heavenly official recognizes a rare talent that is rare in a thousand years. Why do you plead guilty in the blink of an eye?"
"Aren't you going to let me, the imperial commander, go on a personal expedition again? Are you going to quell the Miao chaos? Are you not going to subdue the kings? Aren't you afraid that Huguang will be unstable? Ah!"
Zhu Qiyu's tone suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "Okay! Wang Ao! Everything in the world depends on your mouth! You are a dignified minister of officialdom, clever words, slanderous words and flattery to the Lord. I use you to govern the country? The country will not be the country! You are so shameless and shameless to use the four thousand people of China." You claim to be a rare genius, but what about your face? Thank you for your ability to speak out! Persuading me to abandon the border guards and fight against the Miao rebellion in person? I think you are a Wala spy! You are lurking around me, informing Wala!"
"Why is the Miao rebellion a nuisance? Do you think I am Sima Zhong? Why don't you eat minced meat? A few thousand people are rebelling. Just send a good general to put it down. But you persuade me to recruit an army of 600,000 people. What do you think? You want to repeat civil engineering. The defeat of the fort? Do you want me to be captured by the Miao people and hunt the Miao territory in the south? Haha, do you want me to become a joke for the ages? What a vicious idea!"
"Come here! Drag down this official minister who has brought harm to the country and the people and has ulterior motives, Lingchi! Right here, Lingchi will execute him!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "And you!"
"Are you all blind? Are you following these people who are causing harm to the country and the people to persuade me to go to war personally? Come on! Drag them all out, stick ten! Remember! Use your brain before you speak! Don't think of me as Sima Dezong! I am not a fool! You are not Liu Yu!"
"Who recommended Wang Ao? Get out of here!"
Zhu Qiyu wants to take a spoonful of stew, treat me as a soft persimmon, and let me drive you to death. Okay, I will send you on your way first!
But no one answered, no one dared to answer.
Only Wang Ao's pleading voice was left, and he felt sad in his heart. He was a dignified official, a heavenly official! If the emperor casually kills him, what dignity will the civil servants have? Can we still put the emperor in a cage? But now the only one who can make the emperor take back his life is Yu Qian. However, Yu Qian has been punished by the emperor. Does he still dare to wade into this muddy water?
Sure enough, Yu Qian seemed to have not seen Wang Ao's request for help. He did not kneel down and ask the emperor to lead the expedition in person. Instead, he was thinking about whether to commit suicide immediately after returning home and spend the rest of his life, maybe leaving his innocence in the world. Otherwise, it's hanging...
"His Majesty!"
Hu Hu, the pillar of the court, spoke. He slowly walked over and knelt in the middle: "I know that your Majesty is angry, but please listen to me."
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank slightly, he knew someone would jump out, but he didn't expect it to be him!
Hu Hui was an important minister of the Taizong Dynasty, one of the five ministers of Tuogu, the late emperor, and the only remaining minister of Tuogu. He stood up to speak, and Zhu Qiyu had to give him face. Even though he was just the Minister of Rites, once Zhu Qiyu touched him, the civil servants all over the world would be shaken, and even the civil literati would be dissatisfied with him as the emperor. The most important thing is that the old man is not slippery. Keep your hands and you won't find anything wrong with him.
"Your Majesty is known all over the world for his reputation as a virtuous and filial piety, and all his subjects obey him, and peace prevails all over the world. Wang Shangshu acted fiercely, and although he was a little impulsive, he was dedicated to the people. The Miao rebellion made the noble people of Huguang miserable, and Wang Shangshu was anxious. Being anxious and angry about it, and Zhang Shi, the younger brother of the British Duke, came up with a strange plan, Wang Shangshu was so excited that he persuaded Your Majesty to go to war personally. In fact, he was worried about the country and the people."
Hu Xi trembled and said: "I am not rescuing him, but admonishing your majesty. If your majesty is guilty of what he said, then all the officials will definitely remain silent and will not dare to admonish you. I am not defending Wang Shangshu, but Chen is telling the truth. Our Ming Dynasty is famous for its open-minded speech. Only the imperial censor can patrol various places, petition for the people, and investigate the rats. If your majesty punishes the king for his words, I am afraid that this way will be cut off and the black sheep of the people will be lucky. Escape is a serious danger to the country."
Well, Hu Ming, you are quite good at making peace! Draw my anger on Zhang Shi, exchange Zhang Shi's life for Wang Ao's, it will be so easy for you! Wang Ao is going to die, and Zhang Min is going to die even more!
"What the old master said makes sense, so let's change Ling Chi to betrayal. Song Jie has betrayed Wang Aozhi. I want to see whether he is serving the country and the people, or whether he is causing harm to the country and the people!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Old Master, please don't persuade me anymore. If I don't deal with those who bring harm to the country and the people, where are my laws from the Ming Dynasty? Cut him off!"
Wang Ao rolled his eyes and fainted from fright!
