"Both the two countries are friendly countries. It is really suspicious that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack Vietnam for no reason. I also think what Yu Shangshu said is reasonable. No matter what, life has to go on. The frontline soldiers must exercise restraint and must not offend the Ming army. "Li Yimin said slowly.
After hearing Li Yimin's words, many of the meritorious military generals were speechless. They all came to fight with real swords and guns, and they even asked the frontline soldiers to restrain themselves. How could they restrain themselves and surrender?
Isn't this a foolish king?
But this monarch was chosen by themselves.
Li Yimin, the king of Liangshan, was once the prince and the eldest son of Li Taizong. He had always resented the unfairness of fate to him. After crying and feeling aggrieved, he began to lie dormant, waiting for opportunities.
The opportunity came soon. The Queen Mother intervened in politics and killed many meritorious officials. Zheng Ke, the founding strategist, and Ruan Lao, who wrote the Ping Wu Dagao, were all exterminated by the Queen Mother.
In Thang Long City, people's minds changed, and Li Yimin began to raise troops in Liangshan, launched a mutiny, and rushed all the way to Tokyo City. With Wu Xun's support, he successfully entered the city and assisted Li Yimin to kill the Queen Mother and the young emperor Li Bangji.
But who knows, after Li Yimin ascended to the throne of God, he would also be like this. From time to time, he would find some trouble for the heroes, and even support a group of people to fight for them.
If there weren't strong enemies outside, they themselves would have started to fight internally.
Ding Lie had the most explosive temper. After listening to Li Yimin's words, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, it is not easy for Taizu to drive out the Ming army and establish the foundation of our dynasty. He came from the southwest. When he sent out troops, his troops were no more than a thousand and elephants. 20. However, various places responded one after another. Within a few years, the Ming army was driven out of my country in Dai Viet and the ancestral property was restored. If the Ming army is now allowed to burn, kill and loot in our land, how can I go there after I die? I see Taizu Taizong, Your Majesty, please send troops. I only need to lead the four elephant guards, and the four divine and military guards can stop the Ming army from Liangshan."
Ding Lie asked for a battle out of indignation, but Yu Yang, the minister of the Ministry of War, said coldly: "To be honest, General Ding, I don't believe that you can defeat the Ming army. I'm afraid that your majesty won't believe it either. We don’t believe that we can win a big victory. Talking is our only option. If we really lose all our troops, we won’t be able to talk even if we want to, and the ancestral temple will not be saved by then. We will be the biggest sinners. "
The voice fell behind and received a lot of support.
"According to what I said, we are a country of etiquette, and we are not allowed to do anything on the stage..."
"But Daming has already called..."
"How about calling us? Who said we can't talk if we call you..."
"Yes, yes, we can talk even if we fight."
"We are all scholars. A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty gave us books. It seems that when we paid tribute, the return gift was not enough, which made the Ming Dynasty feel that we were disobedient."
Officials who did not want to start a war came to support, and these people were all civilian officials.
As for the generals and heroes, they also spoke and rebutted.
"The Ming army clearly wants to destroy our race and destroy our country, Dai Viet, but you are still daydreaming here. Come on, give you a pillow..."
"You have no brains and don't fight. Are you going to kneel down? Even if you want to kneel down, they may not accept it. Some time ago, the Ming army was unwilling to transfer the vassal country to the territory..."
Li Yimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the quarrel below with a normal expression.
This quarrel has not stopped since the Ming army's intention was discovered.
Li Yimin killed his brother and his little mother, and became the current emperor of the Le Dynasty of Dai Viet from the king of Liangshan. The founding achievements of Thanh Hoa provided a lot of help.
It was also because the founder of Thanh Hoa had the power to depose his younger brother, Li Yimin was very afraid of him, so he selected a large number of unsuccessful officials and entrusted them with important tasks to compete with these heroes.
But such an unsuccessful official can only take advantage of the court. There is still a big difference between actual power and merit.
Thang Long Imperial City is a royal palace built after Yuan Gong Ming Palace. The main palaces are Qinzheng Hall, Civilization Hall, Xianwu Hall and Dong Pavilion.
Their official positions also correspond to the official positions of the Ming Dynasty, with grades nine and eighteen. Officials of the first grade all have the pendants of the bachelors of these four halls.
The Grand Bachelor of Qin Zhengdian, the Grand Bachelor of Civilization Hall, the Grand Bachelor of Wu Xiandian, and the Grand Bachelor of Dongge were the four pillars of the Li Dynasty.
And this Yu Yang was less than forty years old. Before the palace coup, he was just a compiler of the National History Museum. He was good at talking and flattering. Within half a year, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War.
The officials who used to be honest and well-known began to become cunning after meeting Li Yimin. They didn't care about the reputation of scholars. The only way to climb up was to climb up. He took charge of the Four Guards of Shenwu (former and former officials) on behalf of the emperor. The six guards (back, left, right) and in front of the palace are also the main elites in Shenglong City and have become the Grand Bachelor of Dongge.
After the chaos, Ruan Chi said loudly: "Your Majesty, if we don't send troops again, all the northern land will be lost within half a year, and the Ming army will approach Tokyo. When the time comes, where will your Majesty go? To Qinghua Xijing?"
"Even if they surrender Tokyo and go to Xijing, will the Ming army stop there? They have hundreds of thousands of troops. They want the entire Dai Viet Kingdom and they will not stop. Now the Ming army is going all out to attack Jing'an and so on. By opening up the sea passage from Ming Guangxi to Jing'an, we have already prepared for a long-term war. We cannot be confused at this time, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Li Yimin's face became more sad. He didn't know what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought. If he became the emperor and enjoyed it as much as himself, wouldn't it be over? He insisted on causing trouble for me and putting me in a dilemma.
After a while, Li Yimin looked at Ding Lie, a young and capable general who was just over fifty.
"Ding Aiqing, I will give you two divine and military guards and two training elephant guards, so that you can control the armies in the north. Is this feasible?"
After hearing this, Ding Lie smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Four Guards are no more than 10,000, and the garrison troops of each city in the north are no more than 30,000. If the main force of Tokyo City cannot be sent out, we can only resist the defense, but cannot defeat the enemy. .”
"Guard first, let's discuss the rest later." After saying that, Li Yimin stood up and walked to the back hall.
After Li Yimin left, all the officials quickly knelt down and shouted long live...
Now that His Majesty has left, the overt and covert fighting among the ministers has begun.
When leaving the main hall, Ding Lie bumped into Yu Yang hard: "If Dai Viet falls, you will be the biggest sinner."
Yu Yang had an indifferent smile on his face and said softly: "You and I are both rebellious ministers and traitors. Less than a year has passed, has General Ding already forgotten? You really think you are a loyal minister, huh."
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Ding Lie's reaction.
At this time, Ruan Chi walked up to Ding Lie, looked at Yu Yang's back, and sighed: "If I had known that this would happen now, I should have done it more simply and killed all the former ministers."
"It's too late to kill now." Ding Lie said through gritted teeth.
"It's too late, the power has been established. If we take action now, we will kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. No matter who of us wins, we will die in the hands of your majesty in the end. Now we can only hope that the leader of the Ming army is not Zhang Fu is so ruthless and ruthless, and he uses his troops like a god."
……………………
Thang Long Palace, in the Ideological and Political Hall.
Li Yimin was hugging each other, feeling very unhappy when an internal official came in and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu is here."
Li Yimin, who was enjoying himself, suddenly felt a little unhappy on his face.
"Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the officer heard this, he stepped back respectfully.
Li Yimin also asked the two women around him to leave. After tidying up his clothes, he picked up a book and pretended to read it.
After a while, Yu Yang walked into the palace. After the ceremony, Li Yimin put down his book and asked: "Yu Shangshu, why do you want to see me?"
"Your Majesty, you really want Ding Lie to lead the army. Why don't you transfer Qing Hua Xijing's generals? They are their direct descendants. At first, I gave your Majesty the idea to let King Jia go to Daming to negotiate a peace, but they all blocked it. , there is some unrest in Xijing, and the disobedience is obvious." M.biQuge.biZ
After hearing this, Li Yimin chuckled: "So what if they don't want to, my fourth brother will go to Ming Dynasty obediently. Even if they have some ideas, they can't do anything now. Ruan Chi is right, Ming Dynasty really wants to destroy me, so let Ding Lie leave. Firstly, he can be regarded as a general under Taizu and has some abilities. Secondly, if he leaves and only Ruan Chi is left in the capital, won't it be difficult to survive alone?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to..." Yu Yang's expression changed, he exclaimed, and at the end of his sentence, he quickly stopped.
After hearing what Yu Yang said, Li Yimin was obviously unhappy and his voice became louder: "It's not me, it's you who want to do something. I won't be involved..."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I said the wrong thing."
"As long as you do things well, I will not treat you badly. The Ming Dynasty will never be my real enemy. The real enemies are the proud and powerful generals in the imperial court. This time the Ming army comes to attack, it can be regarded as a helping hand to me. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, but what should the Ming army do if they really want to destroy the country?" Yu Yang
"We are from a remote area, what is the use of his coming here? To put it bluntly, beating us is to intimidate those foreign chieftains. After solving my serious problems, I only need to repair my credentials for the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to work with the Ming army to deal with Yunnan Border chieftain, and made a promise to never violate the border and to surrender forever, the Northern Dynasty's great and arrogant little emperor will definitely be satisfied."
"Your Majesty is wise..."
"When he mobilizes his troops, you should cooperate well. Go down, I will read a book..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Yang said with a charming smile on his face. He took a few steps back and turned his head. His face had become extremely serious and gloomy, and his eyes hid deep hatred...
Yu Yang was a pure scholar. When the Empress Dowager beheaded the meritorious officials, the civil servants supported it. Although Yu Yang was just a small person at that time, he also supported it in his heart, because the military commanders and nobles had begun to override the national law and threaten him. gained imperial power.
In the palace coup a year ago, because Yu Yang did not participate in the direct persecution of meritorious deeds, he was able to save himself. However, his mentor and his monarch were killed in the palace revolution, and he changed his appearance. , Dare to be Hunjun's minion, to put it bluntly, he wants to kill all the leaders of that incident. For him, the Ming army's attack is also an excellent time.
Those who died in vain, walk slower on the road to hell, and you will soon see those rebellious officials and traitors, the monsters of the Huo Kingdom...
