Chapter 54 Poor scorched earth, sad Futu

"Zhuqing is flat." The emperor's voice is like a bell.

At a glance, there are many fewer faces. The Cang navy commanded Li Siam, the second prince and the third prince Ning Zheng, and even Guo Amon, who had been with the emperor all year round, was not there. It seems that this urgent edict is really urgent, but it does not affect the emperor's mood. It was originally expected, whether it was Mengyang's invasion or these ministers who failed to come. The emperor's eyes hidden behind the crowned pearl curtain of the flat sky glanced at Yue Huahou and General Yan, the head of Wenwu. With these two people, the overall situation of Fanyang was stable.

Lu Miaobai, who should have bowed his head to listen to the order, suddenly raised his head, and his narrow phoenix eyes looked at the emperor, like a flash of lightning, and lowered his head again.

The emperor put his hand on the throne, his back was straight, his fingers tapped gently, and turned his head to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch took a step forward, took out the imperial edict that was obviously drafted in advance, and read it: "Mengyang has no way, invades my Fanyang, and slaughters the people. I am very worried. In order to resist the wolf, he appointed Yin Cangyan, the general of the imperial palace, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, the marshal of soldiers and horses in war, led the military and politics of Fanyang, the governor of Li Siam's military department of the Cang navy, the military administration of the auxiliary military department of the palace, the emperor of the imperial palace of Yuehua, the sacrificial wine in the palace, and the study of Huangmen University. It is a capital crime to cut the post of guard of Qinghe County, behead the lieutenant of Qinghe County, and neglect of duty. "This is my admiration!"

The ministers are like wasps that blew up their nests.

The emperor's imperial edict was obviously drafted a long time ago. This series of personnel changes were dazzling, pushing the emperor's moon waiting and the imperial palace Yan generals to the top of the waves again.

Is it really not responsible for the turmoil 20 years ago?

Looking at both of them, they are both peaceful. They have accepted the emperor's order in the face of danger, and they also let go of their entanglement and help the country wholeheartedly.

The emperor and ministers are peaceful and peaceful. No matter how strong Mengyang is, Fanyang is no longer chaotic. What are you afraid of?

Your Majesty's imperial edict has been prepared for a long time, and it is estimated that Mengyang is also expected to be ambitious. Fanyang is not fighting an unprepared battle. Looking back at the series of changes before the imperial palace and Yuehuahou, the ministers were finally relieved that they would be reused by your majesty when they returned to China. Yuehuahou is indeed extraordinary.

"Zhuqing said, what is the good strategy for Mengyang's raid on Fanyang and slaughtering 100,000 people?" The emperor said softly.

"Fight! Hit it back hard! Let Mengyang dog know the pain!" A thin old minister took a step forward, rolled up his sleeves, waved his fist fiercely, and gritted his teeth. The bones on his thin arms were clear, and the blue veins under his wrinkled skin were exposed.

"Oh?" The emperor looked playful, "Lord Wei, the minister of Ceremonies, advocates ending the war?"

"Yes! It's to stop the war!" The old man's beard trembled and pouted his lips like a goldfish. "When the former emperor was in the throne, I, Fanyang, invaded the southern barbarians, the Japanese pirates in Dongping, the southwest, and the bandits from all directions came to the court, and there were little ghosts shouting? Today's Fanyang is full of evil. It doesn't know how to learn, soldiers don't know how to practice, merchants don't know thrift, and farmers don't know diligence. This is the difficulty of Fanyang. This is the disaster of Fanyang--

"Lord Wei, stop talking... retreat quickly..." Someone quietly pulled the old Shangshu's official tonic and tried to make the old man retreat - His Majesty's face was already not good-looking. Unexpectedly, the old man became more and more excited and went further. He said, "The old minister served the former emperor for 20 years and served your majesty for 20 years. He was empty and rare. He has been an official for 40 years. I dared to say frankly that your majesty was wrong 20 years ago. It was your majesty's wrong. Today's Mengyang slaughter is the past to punish your majesty. No matter what, your majesty will be revived. Fenggu revived Fanyang's Wuwei, and the first emperor of Jinglan founded the country with martial arts. In his majesty's generation, why did he become bullied?

Many ministers are nodding in their hearts. What the Ministry of Ceremonies said is indeed true, but he said the wrong occasion. These words should not have been said, but it is a dead word. Do you think the killing 20 years ago was not heavy enough? His Majesty Ming Chan is by no means the lord of grandeur. He really doesn't take his own life seriously.

But looking at the old Shangshu who waved his fist and shouted 'Your Majesty is wrong' and 'Your Majesty is wrong', Wenwu's heart is not pleasant. They are qualified to attend the Holy Council, and they can more or less feel some changes in Fanyang before and after the chaos of the first year of Mingchan. When the late emperor reigned, Fanyang's military strength was prosperous, and even the three-line battle was still stable. Yin Cangyan, who had not been awarded the title of General Yan of the Imperial Palace, directly crossed the sea to kill the Japanese mainland, blooded the Japanese pirates, and completely eradicated the grass. At that time, Fanyang's military strength was strong, and even if it was against the barbarians in the far north, it also had the strength to fight. However, after the chaos in the first year of Mingchan, the generals of Fanyang withered and the army was demobilized. Except for the Cang navy, there was no fighting power. The army is the place that consumes the most money and gold. After the absence of the army, the empire's wealth accumulates rapidly, and the merchants and rich emerge one after another. It seems that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, but in fact, it is flashy and vulnerable. Fortunately, Lu Miaobai returned from Mengyang five years ago to persuade his majesty to change, which bought some time for Fanyang!

It's true that Your Majesty was wrong. No matter what the reason was, it was wrong to destroy the Fanyang military system. The first emperor of the empire established the country by force and could not give up the army in any case. Only when you live in peace can you think of danger for a long time, and stand still and wait for death.

These truths are understood by those ministers. Can the emperor not understand them? It's just that the emperor's mind can't figure out. Over the years, your majesty has ruled the country impeccably, but 20 years ago, the matter was the emperor's rebellious and untouchable.

The ministers were trembling, waiting for His Majesty's thunder and anger. Unexpectedly, the emperor just gave a light 'um', and there was no follow-up.

The minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies stood there stiffly with his neck straight, looking dead. Even if His Majesty cut off his head in the hall and splashed blood in the court, he would not hesitate. The old man seemed to have lived enough. He really had nothing to say. The resentment in his heart for 20 years poured out and recounted the emperor in front of the ministers.

His words are reasonable and should be unfaithful. It's just that he said this to the emperor, that is, he was unreasonable. The emperor's matter, he became a king and defeated the bandit. He has no longer discussed his merits and demerits, and his own history has been left in the world. Just like when the six dragons seized the throne, the six princes crossed the sea for the throne and the eight immortals showed their magical power. Which one was not Yingjie Junyan? But if only one person wins, the other five will be erased, and even no trace can be found in the history of Fanyang.

It's just that the emperor was not angry. He lowered his eyes and held his forehead, his face was expressionless, and even the slightest mood fluctuated. It seemed that he did not hear the deafening words of the old minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, but he heard the minister's face looking at each other and frightened.

"Lord Wei, what else do you want to say? If nothing happens, leave first." The emperor asked softly, and his tone was still calm and there was no anger.

"I drafted a letter of "Twelve Strategies for the Discussion of the State" overnight, and I devoted my life's painstaking efforts, hoping to help the empire deal with this disaster." Lao Shangshu pulled out a memorial from his big sleeve and presented it with both hands. Obviously, like the emperor's decree, he had been prepared for a long time.

Many ministers sighed secretly. Your Majesty has clearly given you a step down. Why do you kick your nose on your face? Your Majesty has made it clear that you will not be investigated for your rude remarks. Why did you hit the tip of the knife? If you don't die, you won't die. Why do you still try? Nozuonodiewhyyoutry→_→)

The emperor finally looked ugly, snorted coldly and said nothing.

Lao Shangshu seemed to risk this old life and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have come to prepare a coffin today. In any case, your majesty must see this "Twelve Volumes of the National Discussion" with his own eyes."

Deadly? The ministers took a breath of cold air. When they said this, they were very rude. They came to prepare the coffin. The disaster of blood and light, the emperor's taboo!

"What other opinions do you have?" The emperor's tone was a little impatient and no longer paid attention to the stubbornness of the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

The ministers bent down respectfully and dared not come out. Although Huangfu Mingchan is known as the benevolent master, the smell of blood 20 years ago is clearly heard today.

No one said, General Yan and Yue Huahou, who led the Minister of Culture and Martial Arts, were outside the world, like a high-dimensional god, who ignored this farce. The old Shangshu's waist was obviously trembling, and his hands still held the "Twelve Strategies of the State's Discussion" that he regarded as painstaking. He did not take a step back, did not give anything, and the famous minister was proud.

Although the old Shangshu was indeed looking for death, the ministers of the Man Dynasty couldn't help blushing and let an ancient old man go to death. They were afraid and just wanted to save their lives. They didn't even dare to say a word from the bottom of their hearts. Why do they think they were officials? Why should I be self-righte and loyal? The trembling sound is like a kite that is about to break the line, not only accusing Your Majesty, but also hitting them in the face!

"The Ministry of War is fully responsible for the fight against Mengyang, and the imperial soldiers and horses will be mobilized, and Yuehua will transfer national materials for military demand."

The emperor got up, left the sentence "There is nothing to retreat from the court", and then left the hall. The ministers knelt down respectfully and bowed, "My emperor is holy--"

Throughout the court meeting, Yuehua, the imperial palace, who should have made a voice, kept silent with General Yan, and even the eldest prince of the country and the world did not say a word. On the contrary, it was an amazing act of the Ministry of Ceremonies, who did not need to participate in military affairs and was only remembered at the festival every year.

When the emperor was far away, the straight backs of the ministers relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the old Shangshu there like a rock, as if looking at the gods.

"Lord Wei is really a loyal minister. We are ashamed!"

"Today's remarks of Lord Shangshu are enough to be recorded in the history of Fanyang. Before the 24 Famous Ministers, no one can blame them."

"Lord Shangshu is still so old and old, what a treasure of Fanyang! Admiration, admiration--"

The ministers bowed their hands and praised, not hesitate to say good words, and their faces were more or less sincere. As an official in the dynasty, serving the emperor, and as a colleague, even if there is discord between political opinions, famous scholars will always cherish each other.

The ministers gradually dispersed, and the old Shangshu still bent down and raised his hand, holding the "Twelve Strategies of the State Council", like a stone statue.

Lao Shangshu suddenly split his hand and toss the ground, stamped it fiercely on it, with tears on his face, and hissing voice: "It's useless. I don't know that my people of Fanyang are being killed tragically. Such an emperor, the destruction of Fanyang is just around the corner!"

Lao Shangshu shouted this sentence, as if he had exhausted all his strength, his legs softened, fell to the ground, and his eyes were distracted. When he became an official, he did his best for the country and experienced the pain of the people, just like losing a son. If everyone has the backbone of the old Shangshu, what should Fanyang be?

A piece of brocade handpa was handed to the old man and wiped away his tears and nose. The old man looked up and saw Lu Miaobai.

"Lord Wei, don't be angry and angry, and the country will lose another beam!" Lu Miaobai said gently.

"You! I don't need your mercy! Tell me about you, waiting for a high position in the imperial palace, eating imperial grain and getting salary, why didn't you even fart? You... What face do you have to wear this beast official tonic..." Lao Shangshu sat on the ground, stretched out his finger to Lu Miaobai's nose, and his voice was fierce.

The old man stood up tremblingly and slowly retreated outside the hall. His hair was scattered, his hair was scattered, and his hands were raised high in the air, looking like crazy.

"As an official in the same dynasty as a group of corpse vegetarians, I, Wei, am really blind and blind! It's the sky that can't open my eyes. I, Fanyang, was killed by 100,000, 100,000 yuan in one night! Are they wronged or not? The old man shouted and walked, his voice was hoarse, and his heart was heartbreaking.

Lu Miaobai stood silently, with an elegant face and no expression.

He slowly bent down, picked up the "Twelve Strategies of Jing Guo Shu" that was thrown to the ground and stamped on the ground, and wiped the stains with the big sleeve of the gorgeous official robe, looking like a treasure and taking it in his arms.

muttered to himself, "Poor, poor scorched earth. Sad, sad, sad. The emperor's prime minister, what he planned is nothing more than a famous history, the wolf smoke is scorched, and the people are killed. Who will pity him?
