Although His Majesty lost his temper with Lai Cheng, the topic of Shen Leng and Meng Chang'an's killing too heavily in the cabinet has not been broken, mainly because Daning does not seem to have this way of fighting in foreign wars...... It doesn't seem to have been in the past, but when did it start?

Opposite.

And in the battle for the establishment, it seems that Shen Leng is also one of the leaders.

So this leads to the question, why did the wars that Shen Leng participated in become like this? Blindly killing and killing, will it make the subservient people of the Quartet feel that the world of Daning is maintained by killing? Will it make those subservient people think that His Majesty is a tyrant and a butcher?

This is not a joke, the reader thinks that this is a very serious problem, the first is to be unkind, the second is to violate the indoctrination, the third is to damage the national body, of course, the most important thing is that it may cause His Majesty to bear the infamy that he should not have.

Although Lai Cheng made His Majesty's attitude clear after returning to the Cabinet, the Cabinet members still decided to jointly write a letter asking His Majesty to make a decision.

This matter, it sounds better for the sake of His Majesty's reputation, and it is difficult to say, it is seeking balance, Daning has been fighting in the past few years, leveling the Western Regions, destroying South Vietnam, and the sailor has defeated the Nanli Kingdom to seek the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and then he waved his army to the north, and now it seems that it is not far from destroying the Bohai Kingdom, and then he will start a war against the black army, and the weight of the military generals seems to have surpassed the civilian officials.

Checks and balances are needed.

Don't they know that it is impossible for His Majesty to deal with Shen Leng and Meng Changan at this time?

Of course they knew, to put it bluntly, they were just reminding His Majesty.

Being an official in the DPRK is not a game, and the cabinet lords are also seeking a little sense of existence in the midst of hard work, saying that the war is a fight between the frontier soldiers, but it is also inseparable from logistics and supplies, and His Majesty pretends not to know about the Bohai War, but who are these adults in the cabinet who are stupid? It's just to accompany His Majesty to act.

And once the war starts, the cabinet will immediately run at a high speed, and before the army gathers on the northeastern frontier, don't the cabinet adults know? That's impossible, they don't say it, because they know very well that when His Majesty is playing stupid, they have to play stupid too.

However, it is not enough to cooperate with His Majesty to pretend to be stupid, the cabinet must quickly coordinate the various yamen, logistics supplies, weapons and armor, and everything that can be thought of must be arranged immediately.

They are just a group of pitiful little people who, after giving a lot, reasonably complain to His Majesty and let His Majesty know the credit for their merits.

It's a pitiful word, and if the Cabinet members knew about it, they might lose their temper.

But His Majesty thinks so, he didn't get angry but laughed after seeing the joint recital, the emperor seems to be a father with a large group of children, what kind of character each child has, what ability he has, what he is good at what he does, he must know everything as a father, and in the same way, everyone's contribution must also be well understood.

And when these poor little people who have worked hard are playing with their tempers, Your Majesty has to comfort them.

Two days later, another military newspaper was sent from the Northeast Frontier, and the emperor took it from Lai Cheng's hand and opened it to look at it, and raised the corners of his eyebrows: "It's a good fight." ”

The news is from the beginning of August, even if it is sent day and night to Chang'an, it will be sent for a month and a few days, after all, it will be returned from the sea, and then the military post will be arranged to send it to Chang'an City non-stop.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Shen Leng led his army to break through Yingya Mountain and occupy the largest granary in Qiuli.

On the tenth day of August, Yan Kaisong led his army to break through Hancheng and killed more than 100,000 people.

The emperor looked at Lai Cheng: "How are you going to scold tomorrow morning?" ”

Lai Cheng looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty, it's not good for you to be like this, if the minister tells Your Majesty all the words in advance, Your Majesty will say it when you go to the court tomorrow when the adults make generous statements, it will be a little embarrassing." ”

Emperor: "Isn't that what I arranged for you to be in the cabinet?" ”

Lai Cheng: "Isn't it because the minister is a talent for governing the country?" ”

"That's the little things."

The emperor was in a good mood because of the good news.

He looked at Lai Cheng and said with a smile: "When you enter the cabinet, you are my undercover agent." ”

Lai Cheng: "This is extra work, you have to add money." ”

Emperor: "Who said a few days ago that he would ask for a one-year fine?" ”

Lai Cheng shut up.

The emperor looked at Lai Cheng and said with a smile: "You go back and tell them, I know that they are hard, for the sake of this battle, the soldiers in the frontier do not endure hardships, are not guilty, and have fewer deaths, the most Aiqing in the cabinet has not been home for a month and five days, you tell them again, I also know that the civil officials and military generals on the face of the Ming Dynasty are arguing, especially the cabinet of you people, you can't wait to jump up and scold, but once the war starts, you are scolding while constantly sending food, clothing, and supplies, The supplies for the front-line soldiers are delivered one day late, you literati will show their murderous anger, and you can scold those reckless men with armor in your mouths, but others can't let them be wronged, scolding and hurting at the same time, just like your children to protect ......"

When the emperor said this, Lai Cheng's nose was already slightly sour.

"I understand."

The emperor eased up: "You guys, ......"

He looked at Lai Cheng: "Do you remember your predecessor Du Yu Shi Fang Weiran?" ”

"I remember."

At that time, he did the imperial history, the old man in his sixties, because of a trivial thing and jumped to scold the platform, the old man swore angrily that he would pull out his beard, after the next dynasty, the old man did not give up, out of the hall pointed to the platform and scolded the reckless child, the old man really pulled out a few of his beards in anger, the two people scuffled together, how embarrassing it was to be embarrassed, and then the old imperial history of the family was angry, and the old imperial history took five hundred forbidden troops to beat the other family from beginning to end, and when the soldiers left, the old imperial history jumped and scolded, Say that you can take care of my family's affairs? You reckless boy, I must join you in front of Your Majesty! ”

Lai Cheng lowered his head: "Then General Tantai said, how you like it, whatever you like." ”

The emperor snorted: "As a result, the old imperial master knelt in front of me and said, dismiss himself, don't blame the platform...... It's not that I don't know about this, the old Yushi is too honest and too simple, and his son moved out to live when he became an adult, and he didn't go out of office, so he opened a private school, and the neighbor's house was an arrogant and unreasonable family, and beat his son, and the old Yushi went to comment, and he didn't wear an official uniform, and the family also beat the old Yushi. ”

"It stands to reason that Shuntianfu should take care of this matter, but the news let Yuan Shu of Shantai know, and he took five hundred people to smash the house from beginning to end, the house was demolished, and people were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth."

The Emperor paused: "Why?" ”

Lai Cheng: "That year, the army marched to the Tai, the old Yushi was an official in the household department, personally supervised the transportation of grain and grass, did not close his eyes for three days and four nights, and fainted after handing over the grain and grass to the general, the old Yushi was like this, while scolding the general for being a reckless man, he couldn't wait to share the food he ate to the general. ”

The Emperor nodded: "So I am very pleased. ”

He got up: "Shen Leng and Meng Changan are ruthless in killing on the side of Bohai Kingdom, but they can't be ruthless...... I heard that yesterday a few of you discussed in the cabinet how to write the recital of scolding Shen Leng and Meng Changan, and then ran to the martial arts workshop to urge the progress of the bow and arrow armor, Fang Tongxuan has not been home for a month and five days, and the dirty clothes are distressing, so when you are sleepy, you will lie there and squint for a while, and continue to work when you wake up. ”

Lai Cheng knew that this Lord Fang was the son of the old capital Yushi, the one who was beaten.

At the beginning, because of this incident, His Majesty demoted Yuan Shu to a three-year penalty and ordered him to think about it, and then met Fang Tongxuan in person, Fang Tongxuan did not enter the Shi not because he had no talent to learn, but the old capital Yushi felt that he had offended too many people in his life, and he was afraid that his son would be bullied and suppressed when he entered the Shi, so he simply let his son be a private school teacher...... His Majesty later arranged for Fang Tongxuan to enter the household department to be a small official, Lao Du Yushi and his son drank too much wine that night, Lao Du Yushi took his son's hand and said, Your Majesty loves talent, since you want to be an official, then don't let Your Majesty down, don't lose my people, to be an official, you have to be an official who can reassure Your Majesty and can also entrust you with important tasks.

More than ten years have passed, and Fang Tongxuan is already one of the second assistants of the cabinet, and he still does not dare to slack off.

The emperor said: "There is Fang Tongxuan's name on the joint book, but after he finished writing the fold, he ran to check whether the winter clothes for the soldiers of the frontier were sent away, because the progress was slow, he did more than a dozen officials in charge of this matter in one go, and he vomited blood on the way back, he vomited blood not only because he was angry, but also worried, he was distressed, and when he entered the Bohai Kingdom in October, it was cold and frozen, and he was afraid that the soldiers would be frozen if the winter clothes were not sent. ”

Lai Cheng lowered his head and did not speak.

The emperor let out a long breath: "I know your thoughts, you are afraid that I will emphasize martial arts and light literature, I have said, a bowl of water will be spilled if it is uneven, and if the flat burden is not picked up, it will fall headlong, I am the person who carries the water, I am also the person who carries the burden, the water is the lakes and rivers of Daning, and the burden is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Daning, which adds up to the people of Daning." ”

The Emperor paused: "I'm not confused. ”

Lai Cheng knelt down: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to help Lai Cheng up: "I have already asked the imperial doctor to see Fang Tongxuan, I told him, if you don't go home and sleep well, I will dismiss his official, and then go to the tomb of the old imperial history to judge, you are the same, you have not been home for twenty-one days, go home today to see." ”

Lai Cheng snorted: "The minister will order, the minister will go back." ”

The Emperor nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Lai Cheng bowed, and after leaving the wild maozhai, he took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes, and moved his arms, feeling that Chang'an City in September was really comfortable, and the autumn was refreshing.

When I got into the carriage out of the Imperial Garden, the coachman asked my lord where are we going?

Lai Cheng was silent for a moment, and then ordered to return to the cabinet.

Daning is so big, Daning is so strong, because of them.

The emperor sat in the thatched house and looked at the blue sky outside the window, and looked at the clouds slowly drifting away in the sky and was silent for a long time.

On September 19, the good news came again.

Shen Leng and Meng Changan have already joined forces and besieged the Bohai capital.

Perhaps by the time the news reached Chang'an City, the two young men who had been pinned on by the emperor had already broken through the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, and pulled the King of Bohai from his throne who claimed to be going to break Chang'an in the future and make the Daning Emperor kneel at his feet.

Daning's son, specializing in all kinds of bragging.

Death to death.
