At the end of April and the beginning of May, under the urging of Guanyi, the Ministry of War worked overtime and finally calculated the military merits of some key figures.
Such as Ren Ning, Xiao Gang and Li Hebai.
Although military positions below the fourth rank do not need to be reported to Emperor Changxing, the Ministry of War can promote them themselves. But Guanyi didn't dare to make the decision on his own this time, so he hurried into the palace city with the list in hand.
Royal study room.
Emperor Changxing has been in a good temper recently, humming an unknown ditty while approving memorials.
Nanfeng was wiped out in one fell swoop, and it is estimated that there will be no more wars in Southern Xinjiang for decades. Yunzhui has one less major worry.
When the powerful Beixiong received the news, the pace of the southern invasion immediately slowed down.
If the wolves in the grasslands in the west can stay quiet for a few years, Yun Chui's life will be much easier in the future.
Otherwise, the empty treasury cannot afford it.
Now I just hope that the doctor and the medicinal materials can be delivered to Yanqi Fortress as soon as possible.
Emperor Changxing was happy, and the old eunuch was also smiling.
Changlu reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, I would like to see Shangshu Guan."
oh?
Emperor Changxing looked up from the memorial with a chuckle.
"It seems that the Ministry of War has finally figured out the merits of the soldiers! Otherwise, Guanyi would not have the guts to enter the palace to see me."
"Your Majesty is joking again." Changlu smiled: "Who in the world knows that Your Majesty has always been generous."
"It's just that Lord Guan, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, is in charge of the promotion of millions of soldiers in Yunchui. He is usually busy with official duties and cannot be careless at all. Naturally, he must give priority to doing his job well before entering the palace to reply to His Majesty."
Emperor Changxing nodded with satisfaction, "Let him come in."
Guan Yi came in, bowed respectfully, explained his intention and presented the written post.
Emperor Changxing glanced at it casually.
Ren Ning, Xiao Gang, Li Hebai...
It started with some familiar names.
He asked a few questions and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that he is not prepared to interfere with the normal promotion of military attachés by the Ministry of War like last time.
Guan Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Last year, Emperor Changxing not only went beyond the Ministry of War to confer a humble seventh-grade military attache, he even broke the rules of previous years and transferred the Xingluo Army from the north to the south without authorization, which greatly damaged his reputation as the Minister of the Ministry of War.
During that time, Guanyi couldn't even raise his head when meeting his colleagues.
It was only what happened later that proved that Emperor Changxing's promotion and adjustment factions were correct, so he had nothing to say.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
He also had to ask his men to send promotion orders to the soldiers on the list, and at the same time, he had to tailor or change their identity, costumes and swords, etc. There were many things to do.
"Go." Emperor Changxing waved his hand, then picked up another memorial and read it.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted sternly: "Guanyi, stop for me!"
Guan Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and returned, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Phew~
There was a fierce wind sound, and a dark object flew towards me.
Guan Yi didn't even think about it and subconsciously hid aside.
boom!
A dull voice sounded.
An inkstone hit the place where he was standing just now, smashing the golden floor tiles into pieces.
There was a loud shout from above: "You are so bold, how dare you hide? Look at the good things your military department has done!"
Guan Yi was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and looked up.
Emperor Changxing, who had been smiling just now, had turned red in the face and hair and beard, and was staring at him with anger like a lion.
thump!
"I know the crime!"
Although it was inexplicable, Guanyi's knees were still loose and he knelt on the ground dripping with sweat.
His mind was spinning rapidly.
Has the Ministry of War or himself done something wrong recently?
It seems not.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chang Lu, who was waiting next to him, also jumped a lot and trotted over quickly to help Chang Emperor calm down.
"Earlier, the imperial doctor specifically told His Majesty that the dragon body should be taken care of. Don't get so angry over a trivial matter."
Little things?
Emperor Changxing glared at him murderously, and was so angry that he almost grabbed another inkstone and slapped the old eunuch on the head.
Civil unrest broke out in the three counties of Laigu, Yingling and Tianshui in the west. As a result, the local officials kept it secret, and no news was revealed.
If some caravans taking the east-west route were not looted when passing by, and the owner was so angry that he complained to God, otherwise the news would not have reached Star City for a while.
Emperor Changxing stared at Guanyi who was sweating profusely, and the veins on his forehead jumped with anger. He endured it for a long time, and then he couldn't bear to smash the other inkstone on the dragon table.
"Take it down and show him clearly. See if I have wronged their military department."
Changlu responded and unfolded the crumpled memorial. He didn't dare to look any further and quickly sent it to the shivering Guanyi.
Guan Yi glanced hastily and his face turned pale.
Over the years, the Ministry of War has lost control over the military situation in various places in Yunchui time and time again.
This was the case when the Xingluo Legion, Zhennanguan and the four southern counties sent troops to attack Nanfeng. All six parties had broken through the enemy's most important checkpoint, and only then did the Ministry of War slowly receive the news.
And now the situation in the three western counties is even worse.
The mob not only besieged the local rich farmers and robbed and killed passing caravans, they had even gathered to attack the county town, but he, the Minister of War, didn't know anything about it.
"I neglected my duty and deserved death." Guan Yi had nothing to say and could only kowtow.
Emperor Changxing was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and quickly asked Changlu to find someone to discuss countermeasures.
A few quarters of an hour later, when the other six senior officials hurried to the imperial study room, they saw this scene.
Emperor Changxing above had a frosty look on his face. Guanyi was kneeling below and shivering. There was even a floor tile beside him that was smashed to pieces. For a while, no eunuch dared to come over to repair it.
The officials of the six ministries couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Everyone is here?" Emperor Changxing glanced at the ministers below.
Changlu came over and said, "Your Majesty, all the adults are here."
Emperor Changxing waved his hand.
The old eunuch sent the report to the ministers with tacit understanding.
The report was quickly circulated among the ministers.
Many people already knew it, but more people looked at each other in shock. When they looked at Guanyi who was kneeling on the ground, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Cheng Enbo took the lead to stand up.
"Your Majesty, the three counties in the west are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. The people do not adhere to Confucianism and do not know etiquette. Because the folk customs are fierce and unruly, they have always ignored the king's laws. On weekdays, they are accustomed to shouting and killing if they are not satisfied at all."
"In the past years, small-scale riots would occur in these places from time to time. But they were just a bunch of people making trouble, and they were often defeated by the local garrison before the news spread."
"I am not surprised that there is civil unrest in the three counties now. It's just that the number of people this time may be a bit more than before."
"But your Majesty need not worry."
He chuckled and stroked his beard, "No matter how many people the mob has, they are still just a bunch of idiots."
"From what I can see, as long as elite troops are dispatched from other counties to suppress them, the predicament of the three counties can be solved within a few days, and a bright future can be restored to the west..."
Some ministers who knew about it secretly twitched their lips.
I don’t know how much land your Sun family has enclosed in these three counties, causing the people to become homeless and displaced. In the end, they had to sell their sons and daughters to survive.
But they turned around and started the human trafficking business again, and they didn't know how much money they made by doing both.
Now that something is happening, I want to accuse the common people of being too ignorant, and then send troops to suppress it...
Emperor Changxing didn't think much, nodded and uttered one word coldly: "Accurate!"
The ministers were not surprised and looked around secretly one by one.
The town will definitely be suppressed.
The question is who to send to lead the troops or where to draw them.
