Seven months later, Ge Ling.
In the court, Gao Yuanshi, a bachelor of Tongyue Pavilion, stepped forward and presented a memorial with both hands.
"My minister, Gao Yuanshi, has joined Lin Ye, the general of the Three Northern Protectors. He has behaved erratically, resorted to warfare, acted unjustly, and colluded with foreign countries."
Emperor Yu nodded when he heard this: "Even if he is planning to rebel."
Gu Xiujin, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold it back and laughed. Fortunately, the sound of laughter was not loud.
He knew what the emperor meant, but Gao Yuanshi thought that was what the emperor meant.
He took another step forward and said: "Your Majesty is right. In the Maolin Kingdom outside the northern border, Lin Ye completely lost all rules and forgot about dignity. He did not hesitate to despise the imperial power in exchange for colluding with foreign countries."
"I also feel that this person has arbitrarily included the small country of Maolin in the territory of Dayu without asking for an order or reporting it. He really has ulterior motives."
"The military rations and materials sent from Yunzhou to Northern Xinjiang should not be distributed to Maolin and other places according to logic. However, Lin Ye privately announced that Maolin was conquered by Beizhou, so that military rations can be distributed according to the same treatment as the common people of Dayu for disaster relief."
"These military rations and materials originally had real numbers. How much was sent out, how much was consumed on the way, and how much was left after delivery, all were kept in mind by military officials along the way."
"But after these military supplies were delivered to Maolin, Lin Ye ordered them to be divided privately. This resulted in the whereabouts of the military supplies that Dayu transferred were unaccounted for."
"I think Lin Ye used this to confuse the public and resell the general's grain."
Speaking of this, he was already excited.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ye is relying on Your Majesty's trust and relying on the fact that there is no one to restrain him in Northern Xinjiang, and he acts wantonly. If things continue like this, the people in Northern Xinjiang will be filled with resentment. When the time comes, Dayu's country may be harmed."
The emperor hummed: "Then what do you think, if Lin Ye's crimes are proven, how should he be dealt with?"
Gao Yuanshi immediately replied: "According to Dayu's law, we must strictly deal with it. If it's time to behead, behead it. Look at the listener clearly. Understand the national law, strictly enforce military discipline, and keep the place in check."
The Emperor turned his head to look at Gu Xiujin and said in a low voice: "Is that guy Lin Ye really pocketing some of the material allocation?"
Gu Xiujin said: "Back to the saint, this kind of mentality can be possessed by tall people, but not by great generals."
The emperor shook his head slightly: "Gao Yuanshi has it, how can he not have it?"
Gu Xiujin: "This..."
The emperor said: "That guy distributed the military rations to the people in Maolin, and also promised for me that Maolin would be included in Dayu..."
With his promise for me, Gu Xiujin already understood the emperor's intention.
The Emperor said: "A month ago, I received the memorial from him. Ten days ago, I knew that the loyal man who came to Geling with an ice coffin was near Geling..."
Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "I never thought that so far away from Dayu, there are so many small countries who admire Dayu's culture and are enamored of Dayu's elegance..."
He said to himself: "Maolin, Dalie, Chileshan, Songgui, Zhaoguo, Yuanping..."
"There are so many people in these small countries who want to become Dayu's people, my people..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Xiujin again: "Is what Lin Ye said in this memorial a lie?"
Gu Xiujin: "I think...it can't be all right?"
Emperor: "..."
The two of them were still whispering, and Gao Yuanshi was already a little impatient.
He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think it is time to issue an order and transfer Lin Ye back to Geling for strict investigation and punishment!"
The emperor hummed: "You are right."
Gao Yuanshi suddenly became more excited.
The Emperor said: "A few days ago, I also received military reports from outside Northern Xinjiang... no, it is considered Dayu Northern Xinjiang."
"This military report says that headed by Maolin, the monarchs of Da Lie, Song Gui, Zhao and other countries, as well as the nobles and common people, all admire Dayu and me."
"The military report also said that as soon as Dayu's frontier troops entered Maolin, the people knelt on the roadside to greet them and shouted long live Emperor Dayu."
"Not only Maolin, Dayu's army entered Dalie, but the people of Dalie also lined up to welcome him. The same is true for other countries."
"So the Protector General Lin Ye told me in the military report that the reason why he successfully won over a dozen small countries that originally belonged to Lou Fan was not because of his ability to fight, but because of the power of God from far away..."
When he said this, Gao Yuanshi, the bachelor of Tongyue Pavilion, vaguely felt that something was not right.
The Emperor said: "I just thought that even though I am the Lord of the Four Seas, I should not have so many people from small countries who respect me as a god."
"Gao Yuanshi, tell me, is this related to Lin Ye's private distribution of military rations?"
Gao Yuanshi's heart stopped for a moment. This sentence sounded ordinary, but if he answered it incorrectly, the consequences would be serious.
He wanted to say that it should be related to Lin Ye's private distribution of military rations to the people of the small country, which meant that you, the emperor, did not have that much influence at all, and what Lin Ye said in the military newspaper was all nonsense.
He wanted to say that what the military newspaper said was definitely not false. People in all countries looked forward to the emperor's army just like they look forward to the rain after a long drought. So Lin Ye's distribution of military rations seemed not to be a big deal.
Seeing his hesitation, the emperor asked: "Is it so difficult to answer?"
Gao Yuanshi immediately leaned down and flattered him a lot. If this flattery was recorded, it would definitely be sincere and full of flowers.
The emperor felt very comfortable listening.
So he nodded and said: "I am indeed a little surprised. I didn't expect that the names of Dayu and me would spread thousands of miles away."
He looked down the hall: "Where is the living room?"
Jijuzhu is an official name of Dayu, a historian, responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds every day, etc.
According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu of Dayu, the emperor of Dayu could not read what was recorded every day in daily life, and had to leave it to future generations.
But most likely no one would dare to take care of this matter.
If the emperor said he wanted to see it, would he really dare to die rather than obey?
Dayu's historians are divided into daily annotations and historical annotations. They are both full-grade official positions, not high. Their knowledge and literary talent are naturally good, but they are not irreplaceable official positions.
If you piss off the emperor, kill one and replace him with another, probably the next one won't dare to write about it.
But once this kind of thing spreads and spreads to future generations, it will have a huge impact.
Li Zhu hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."
The Emperor said: "You heard what I just said, did you remember it?"
Li Zuzhu replied: "I have all remembered it."
The Emperor said: "This is not my own prestige. This is Dayu's prestige. It is the prestige of Dayu emperors in the past. You must write it down carefully."
Li Zhizhu responded immediately: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will record it word for word."
The emperor smiled and looked particularly happy.
This is something worth being happy about. Think about it, thousands of miles away, people in more than a dozen small countries can't help but want to kowtow when mentioning Emperor Jade.
Are you happy about this?
Thousands of miles away, the people of more than a dozen small countries couldn't help but want to kowtow when Dayu's culture and military were mentioned.
Are you happy when you say this? !
As early as a few months ago, when Lin Ye asked Xumi Jinghong to answer Lie, Xumi Jinghong had guessed Lin Ye's intention.
When it comes to cracking this matter, there really is nothing more effective than using flattery.
Even if you wear it a thousand times, flattery will never wear it; if you make a thousand mistakes, flattery will be right.
At this moment, even Gao Yuanshi, who had been making an impassioned speech just now, felt a little embarrassed, and the adults who were waiting to see the show were already scolding Lin Ye in their hearts.
You see, they are all well-dressed and knowledgeable, but they are dirty when they scold them.
The emperor seemed to have just remembered, looked at Gao Yuanshi and asked: "What did you say just now?"
Gao Yuanshi seemed a little lacking in confidence when he spoke at this time.
He bravely said: "I think that the Three North Governor Lin Ye... should be restrained a little, or send someone to check, in case there is any misunderstanding, this will not be good."
The emperor nodded: "Gao Yuanshi, I said at the beginning that you are upright and have a righteous heart. It is indeed a bit unfair to let you go to Tongwen Pavilion. It is my negligence not to let you serve Dayu to the best of your ability. So, ..."
After the emperor pondered for a while, he looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said solemnly: "Whether Lin Ye is guilty of the crimes Gao Yuanshi said, I will let others investigate, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Then he looked at Gao Yuanshi: "You don't have to continue working in Tongwen Pavilion. From now on, Xumi Pianruo will be the minister of Dali Temple, and you will be transferred to Dali Temple to be the young minister of Dali Temple."
"Go to Dali Temple in person to select people. After you are ready, you will set off to Maolin and other places to strictly investigate whether Lin Ye has violated disciplines, violated the law, acted arbitrarily, and whether he has ulterior motives."
The emperor breathed out slowly: "When we get to the north, tell Xumi Pianruo that I can't disturb you. You can investigate as you want. He has his own business and you have yours."
Gao Yuanshi knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am really not good at investigation and investigation. I am willing to stay in Tongwen Pavilion and continue to serve your Majesty. I..."
The emperor frowned slightly: "Don't thank me?"
Gao Yuanshi froze, then touched his head to the ground: "I... thank you Lord for your kindness."
The emperor stood up, looked at the courtiers, and said in a more solemn tone: "I will never listen to one side or ignore the facts."
"The military report Lin Ye sent from Northern Xinjiang certainly makes me happy, but if he is really talking nonsense, I will definitely let him know that Dayu's national laws are strict."
He paused briefly to give the courtiers a chance to speak.
The courtiers immediately leaned over and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The emperor was very satisfied.
He glanced at Gao Yuanshi who was kneeling on the ground again: "I have high hopes for you. Not only do you go to Northern Xinjiang to see what's going on, but I also hope that after you have traveled thousands of miles and met hundreds of kinds of people, you can still be like me. As you said, you will always have righteousness in your heart..."
Having said this, he waved his hand: "If there is nothing to report, I will stop here for today's meeting and I will go and take care of your business."
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
A group of courtiers knelt down to salute, then bowed their bodies and exited the hall.
When the news came back from Northern Xinjiang, many of the courtiers felt that this was indeed an opportunity.
The military power controlled by Lin Ye is too heavy. If it cannot be contained now, it will be even more difficult to deal with it in the future.
Who would have thought that that guy had already prepared countermeasures.
Originally, the private inclusion of Maolin was his big fault, but he kept saying that it was all because of the local people, a dozen small countries, who really respected His Majesty so much that it was difficult to refuse...
Shameless, really shameless.
They were scolding even more harshly in their hearts, and they were all thinking about what could be a turning point, and they couldn't just accept it.
When the emperor walked back, the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.
As he walked, he asked Li Zhizhi who was following behind him: "Have you really remembered everything I said in the court?"
Li Zuzhu responded quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will record it in the book, and not a word will be missed."
The emperor said: "How did I tell you?"
Daily note: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that you should write it well."
Emperor: "Did I not violate the rules and ask you to show me after you finish writing?"
Daily note: "Your Majesty did not. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty saw and heard it. Your Majesty definitely did not."
Then he whispered: "I forgot the rules. After I finish writing, I will send it to His Majesty for review soon..."
The emperor nodded: "Although you made a mistake, I won't hold you accountable if you are honest."
The emperor said as he walked: "Gu Xiujin, pick a small thing and reward it to the living attention."
Gu Xiujin laughed: "I obey your order."
