Chapter 1440 (1/2)

”Pa!”

The heavy sound of shooting the case reverberated in the imperial study, and the air was filled with a choking smell of gunpowder, which was about to explode.

”Damn it!” The emperor said in a deep voice, ”Zhennan Wangfu is really unrepentant and courageous.”

The emperor lost his temper. Thanks to the persuading of his ministers, the emperor wanted to give Zhennan Wangfu a chance. Unexpectedly, they were so arrogant. As expected, no one would worry far away, and there must be immediate worries. His worries for many years have come true. Zhennan Wangfu has a long history of disobedience. His tolerance in these years is nothing more than breeding tigers!

On the other side of the court case, a middle-aged man in a brown brocade robe was kneeling. His face was dignified and he did not speak. He was the Marquis of Pingyang who had just returned from southern Xinjiang.

Although he has left Southern Xinjiang, it seems that he is out of the control of Xiao Yi, but only he knows that he has boarded Xiao Yi's pirate ship, and his arrow has already started, and he will never turn back.

Pingyang Hou's eyes twinkled and gnawed his teeth. He could only tell himself in his heart that man is not for himself, and that heaven kills the earth. He just wants to save his family and let Pingyang Hou's house retreat in the storm of seizing the throne.

He also had to do it!

”The emperor,” said the Duke of Pingyang, who seemed to prostrate respectfully on the ground, pleaded guilty, ”it's all micro officials who are not good at handling affairs. Please punish the Emperor...”

The emperor took a deep breath. Although he was angry, he also knew that the Marquis Pingyang had only brought hundreds of people to southern Xinjiang. If Zhennan Prince's house is really rebellious, what if Pingyang Marquis can take another 200000 troops in southern Xinjiang?!

The emperor appeased the Duke of Pingyang with a few words, then dismissed him, and ordered Duke Liu to call several cabinet ministers into the palace.

At this time, it was evening, the sun was setting, and the gate of the palace had already been locked. However, when the emperor ordered that, who dares not to follow, there was a commotion at the palace gate. It was only half an hour. Several cabinet ministers headed by Cheng Dongyang had entered the Palace in a hurry.

They all knew that the emperor's purpose of calling them into the palace must be to conspire against the Zhennan palace.

As expected --

after the courtiers saluted, the angry emperor said, ”Zhennan palace has been disobeying for a long time. This battle will be carried out, and my heart is determined!”

Several cabinet ministers quickly exchanged a look below. Everyone knew that this time no one could persuade the emperor any more. Both the officials and the punishment ministers were secretly pleased.

The words and deeds of Zhennan palace have been slapped on the emperor's face. If the emperor does not fight, he will agree with the seemingly ”blood and tears” voice of Zhennan palace. This kind of support is necessary.

Several cabinet ministers all bow down and kneel down and say in unison: ”the sage is wise.”

At this point, the southern expedition is a certainty.

Looking down at the bottom of a few old attics, the emperor's locked eyebrows slightly extended some.

After several adults got up again, Cheng Dongyang, the first assistant general, lowered his head a little and bowed in a respectful voice: ”emperor, it's summer in July. It's the hottest time in southern Xinjiang. The army of Southern Xinjiang is used to the heat in southern Xinjiang. The king's capital is in the north. It's not like the heat in southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid that the general of Dayu can't bear the heat...”

The emperor's face was slightly heavy, as if he were unhappy.

Gu Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, then raised an objection: ”Mr. Cheng, the lower official thinks that what we should consider now is how to get troops and supplies from all over the country, rather than to improve the morale of others!”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu said: ”emperor, the south of the Yangtze River has had a lot of harvest in recent years. There must be grain in the south of the Yangtze River. You can collect grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River.”

Li Henglian, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, claimed that he proposed to take troops from the West and north of Xinjiang to March south, and then some cabinet ministers suggested that they could recruit troops from the people.

The elders expressed their opinions and stayed for an hour before they left

The next morning, several cabinet ministers who had hardly slept for two hours had to drag their tired bodies into the palace again before dawn.

Officials seem to know vaguely that today's early Dynasty is unusual and the atmosphere is particularly solemn. Some people almost dare not breathe.

After the emperor ascended to the throne, he couldn't wait to express his determination to ”take back the southern Xinjiang, to Zhengjiang mountain”.

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and the courtiers were all looking at each other, but no one spoke for a moment.

At this time, a tall and clear figure came out of the queue on the right, which attracted the attention of all officials.

Most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty were middle-aged and old men over 30 or 40 years old, but he was only in his early twenties. He was young, handsome and gentle. At first glance, he stood out from the crowd. It was Han lingfu, Prince of Gongjun.

”Father emperor,” Han Ling Fu bowed and bowed in the eyes of different people, and passionately played, ”the son minister is willing to share his father's worries and go to the south of Xinjiang.”

The emperor was surprised to see Han Ling Fu. He could not hide the unexpected color in his eyes, but then he was gratified. He only felt that Sanzi was the blood of their Han family, a bit of blood.

”The emperor, Princess Gong wants to share his worries for the emperor. His filial piety is very touching...” At once, a middle-aged military general stepped out of the line and said in a loud voice, ”but at the end of the day, I think it's not right. Although Princess Gong is gifted and brave, he never leads his troops to go out. ” With that, he looked at Han lingfu and said in a good voice, ”Lord, it's easy to talk about war on paper, but the bloody battlefield is a real sword and a real gun. You can fight with your life!”Just after the general had finished, another minister stepped forward and said in agreement: ”the emperor, general sun is very right. There is a saying:” the son of a thousand gold will not sit down in the hall, and the son of a hundred gold will not ride on the balance. ”In the battlefield, the sword is blind. Princess Gong should not commit danger with his own body. What's more, the South King and his son have been through a lot of battles, so we must choose a good general who is brave and good at fighting... ”

The minister talked on and on. The implication was that Han lingfu, a delicate dragon, should not be involved in the war and fight for meritorious service with his officials. He suggested that the emperor should choose a veteran general to lead the army.

What the two adults said was reasonable, and the emperor was moved.

A haze flashed in Han lingfu's eyes. He knew that the two men belonged to Han Lingguan, the second emperor's brother. Their purpose was self-evident, and naturally they wanted to fight for military power.

I will not let them succeed easily!

Han lingfu quickly winked at Li Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. Li Heng nodded slightly, and followed him out

The two sides competed with each other, and the early Dynasty finally turned into a quarrel and a quarrel. There was a strong smell of gunpowder between them. Later, the emperor felt a little headache.

In any case, there is still a lot of preparatory work needed for the southern expedition, and the expedition can not be completed in two or three days.

The emperor simply ended the topic by saying, ”I don't need to say more about you, I have my own opinion.” he only ordered the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war to prepare for the war.

In recent years, there has always been war in Dayu. No matter how much food or troops there are, the emperor has decided to fight against the emperor any more. Several adults in the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of military are all in a state of anxiety. As for the leader, Han Lingguan, the prince of Shun and Han lingfu, the prince of Gongjun, are both in need of this position!

Next, it depends on where the emperor's sacred heart is

After the early morning of this day, the worried eunuch did not leave the palace, but rushed to the study to meet the fifth Prince Han Lingfan.

When the grandparents and grandsons were locked up in the study, Duke en told Han Lingfan one by one about the affairs of the early Dynasty, and then solemnly said, ”Your Highness, the matter has come to this point. Since we are unable to stop the war, we might as well follow the trend and fight for military power.”

”Grandfather, do you mean...” Han Lingfan looked at the benefactor with dignity.

The Duke of the state of en continued: ”the imperial examination does not evade relatives. In the view of the minister, your highness might as well propose to recommend Han Huaijun of the Qi palace. Huaijun has the experience of fighting Changdi, and he is deeply in the heart of the Emperor I'm 90% sure I can do it. ” Han Huaijun, whose surname is Han, is also the uncle of the eunuch. If he can win the military power, he will benefit the fifth Prince without any harm.

Han Lingfan did not speak for a long time, his lips tightly pursed into a straight line, his eyes drooping, as if in meditation.

After a long time, he just said, ”grandfather, with the understanding of your cousin in this palace, he will not be willing to lead the army And this palace does not want to fight for this military power. ”

Han Lingfan looked at the eunuch without blinking, and said with righteous words: ”grandfather, if today's enemies of Dayu are Changdi, Xiye and Baiyue, my palace will fight for the country and die in the battlefield! But Zhennan palace is not a foreign enemy. Zhennan palace has been protecting Dayu's peace for decades. This palace can't disobey its original intention in order to fight for power and gain. If a gentleman does something and does not do something, I believe that your cousin will not! ”

His dark eyes are clear and firm, and obviously they are not easily shaken after careful consideration.

The eunuch looked at Han Lingfan, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything more in the end, but he sighed in his heart: the fifth Prince's Royal Highness is pure and upright, and he is a gentleman. He has studied with several great Confucians in recent years, and he has been taught to be too upright. If it is peaceful and prosperous, your highness will be able to be a Ming emperor.

But now, the emperor is more and more confused, and the brothers of the fifth Prince's Royal Highness are cruel and ruthless. They covet the throne like wolves smelling blood. With his Highness's simple nature, if he goes on like this, he will be far away from the supreme position

And with the means of a few princes, even if it is boarded the treasure, will easily let go of those who oppose them?

I'm afraid there will be a bloodbath in Dayu

Thinking about it, Duke of en's hands tightly clenched into fists in his sleeve. The Duke of en had already been tied together with the fifth prince, and where to go
