There was silence in the main hall.
The faces of Qi, Huangfang and the others were extremely ugly!
This is the first time that His Majesty the Emperor is so angry at them!
But we really can’t blame His Majesty the Emperor. After all, the three of them had promised before that King Yan Zhu Di would never dare to rebel!
As a result, none of the three people expected that this slap in the face would come so quickly!
King Zhu Di of Yan not only rebelled, but also captured Beiping City in one fell swoop. It can be said that the old faces of the three of them were swollen!
Moreover, Zhu Di, this damned thief, not only launched an army to rebel, but also shamelessly used Jingnan's name to put all the blame on the three of them!
Now the three of them are the rebellious officials and traitors that Zhu Dijing could not describe in the article!
This is really unreasonable!
Qi Tai suppressed the shock in his heart and was about to offer advice.
However, Huang Zicheng was one step ahead of him and actually congratulated His Majesty the Emperor!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Ministers: "???"
Zhu Yunwen: "???"
What?
congratulate?
What do you mean?
Are you here to congratulate me?
Is it a good thing that King Zhu Di of Yan rebelled?
Facing Zhu Yunwen's questioning gaze, Huang Zicheng spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, King Yan Zhu Di's rebellious intentions have finally been exposed to broad daylight!"
"In this way, wouldn't it indirectly prove that there is nothing wrong with the imperial government's policy of cutting down the vassal state? It is these vassal kings who are treasonous!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
"Huang Aiqing is right!"
"It would be better to let King Yan expose his rebellious intentions!"
"Now let everyone in the world see whether I am right or wrong in cutting down the vassal clan!"
Zhu Yunwen has not forgotten that Kou Baozhao, the chief minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is still imprisoned in the sky prison!
Because of Bao Zhao's own virtue and ability, Zhu Yunwen respected him quite a lot.
However, Zhu Yunwen never expected that after Bao Zhao went to Peiping, he openly opposed him. Not only did he petition the imperial court to abolish the national policy of reducing vassal vassals many times, but he also remonstrated in court after returning to Beijing!
If Wang Duan and Zhang Yan hadn't interceded for Bao Zhao, Zhu Yunwen would have really wanted to kill Bao Zhao, this ungrateful person!
Now that King Yan Zhu Di had really rebelled, Zhu Yunwen wanted to see what Bao Zhao had to say!
But now is not the time to watch Bao Zhao’s jokes, we must find a way to eradicate King Yan’s rebels!
Qi Tai glanced at Huang Zicheng, who was full of pride, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, King Yan is causing trouble, which is not allowed by heaven. Please make an order to destroy these rebellious people as soon as possible!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and returned to his calm emperor appearance.
"Although King Yan has occupied Beiping, he has few soldiers and land. I don't think he will mobilize troops like this!"
Qi Tai's face changed slightly, and he promptly reminded: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate King Yan!"
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, is ambitious, brave and good at fighting. In addition, the Yan troops under his command are all brave and elite in northern Xinjiang..."
"Hey, Qi Aiqing is worrying too much!" Zhu Yunwen retorted with a smile: "Aiqing, don't always follow the wind and rain. If you have the ambition of King Yan, you will destroy your own prestige!"
"In this tiny place in Peiping, even if Zhu Di is brave and good at fighting, how easy will it be to use a corner of his land to fight against the world?"
Qi Tai was a little confused as to what His Majesty the Emperor meant.
Could it be that the emperor deliberately belittled King Zhu Di of Yan in order to appease the ministers?
Or does the emperor look down on King Zhu Di of Yan from the bottom of his heart?
Just when Qitai felt embarrassed, veteran Wang Dun spoke up in time to alleviate his embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, King Zhu Di of Yan killed the imperial officials and raised his troops to cause chaos. This is intolerable and must be eradicated as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, how will the other vassal kings react when they see this? If the imperial court cannot annihilate King Yan's rebels with thunderous force, then Ming Dynasty will probably break out into a vassal rebellion!"
The feudal king's rebellion!
Hearing these four words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly panicked, and he no longer looked as calm as before.
You must know that after feudal rebellions broke out in history, either the imperial power changed hands or the vitality of the court was severely damaged. For example, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty completely depleted the country's fortunes!
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to see him. He had just sat on the throne and the whole world was in complete chaos tomorrow!
There is no doubt that the veteran minister Wang Dui was planning for the country, so he instantly gained the support of the ministers. They all asked the emperor to issue an edict and quickly extinguish King Yan's rebellion.
Zhu Yunwen did not dare to continue to show off, and changed the topic and asked the core question directly.
"Who do you think is suitable to lead the expedition?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, and all the civil and military officials in the court were speechless.
Who posted the seal and went to war?
This is really a huge problem!
If it were placed in the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty would have had a lot of famous generals who could fight, and they would not have to worry about this matter at all.
But now, those veteran generals are either dying of illness or old age, or they have been completely purged by Emperor Taizu Gao!
There are only two or three cats and dogs left among these veteran generals.
Among the famous generals who followed Taizu Emperor Gao to conquer the world, now only Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen are left.
But Wuding Hou Guo Ying is old and seriously ill. How can he be the opponent of Yan King Zhu Di?
And that Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen is even sixty-five years old. Although his body is still very strong, this Changxing Marquis has never led the three armies alone to go on an expedition before!
For a moment, all the officials were dumbfounded.
After counting this in detail, it seems that the imperial court really has no generals available!
Zhu Yunwen was also a little confused, and his face gradually became ugly.
Which bastard just said that the Ming Dynasty was "full of talents"?
Why can't we find a general and commander to command the three armies now?
"Qi Shangshu, who can bear the seal and go to war?"
Seeing that all the ministers bowed their heads and said nothing, Zhu Yunwen immediately became angry and started the death roll call.
Qi Tai, Minister of War, felt bitter when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's roll call.
However, he still had the courage to speak and sold Geng Bingwen on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changxing is the founding father of the country. He followed Taizu Emperor Gao in his campaigns in the north and south, and he has made outstanding contributions!"
"I thought that the Marquis of Changxing could go out to fight for the imperial court and annihilate the rebels of the Yan army!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt depressed for a while.
But he also understood that now he could only choose the general among the short ones. Apart from the Changxing Marquis, there was no suitable candidate!
The only thing to blame is that Emperor Taizu Gao killed all those veteran generals so ruthlessly that Zhu Yunwen was now in an embarrassing situation with no generals to use!
However, just as he was about to give the order, a strange voice sounded from above the court.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that sending troops to conquer is a bad idea. The imperial court can quell the chaos without using weapons and subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting!"
Hearing this, the ministers frowned, and even Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised.
Following the voice, I saw that the speaker was just a sixth-grade officer in charge, and Zhu Yunwen frowned even more.
Although Zhu Yunwen had no hope for this person, in order to maintain his image as a wise king who "obeys advice readily", Zhu Yunwen still patiently said: "Aiqing is... that's all. If you have any clever ideas, why don't you come up with me quickly!" "
"Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, has a plan that can quell chaos without using weapons and defeat the enemy without fighting!"
Xia Yuanji, the head of the Household Department?
Where did the small role come from?
Zhu Yunwen frowned and signaled Xia Yuanji to continue.
However, Huang Zicheng glanced at Xia Yuanji coldly.
A mere head of the Household Department dares to overstep his authority. He really has no rules!
What, do you really want to climb up?
