reborn monarch

Commander Hai is here to surrender.

Emperor Qiyuan was not surprised by his choice. Although the two Jingsu dudes are indifferent, they are descendants of the family. Most of them still have a loyalty to the emperor's family in their bones.

In the previous life, the commander of Jingwei followed Wen Jinli's only son to rebel against the country, quietly surrounded the Jingwei garrison with a small group of foreign troops, summoned Jingwei to the school grounds, and announced that he would not be killed if he surrendered.

Unexpectedly, most of the unarmed Jingwei would not join forces, and no one expected that this dandy army would have such integrity, and it would be caught off guard by disrupting the calculations of other races.

Jingwei displayed extraordinary courage and decisiveness in this last battle. They quickly dispatched a death squad to send a letter to Miyagi, and at the same time resisted the alien army with bare hands. By the time the news reached Emperor Qiyuan, they had almost all died in battle. .

The guards who guarded the palace city did not surrender and run away after receiving the news, but guarded the city gate to buy the last bit of time for Emperor Qiyuan and his officials, and to be buried decently for the Great Chu Dynasty.

Now that Su Wei has been accepted first, Gu Zhen is in a pretty good mood.

"Sir, I would like to send for His Majesty." Hai Tu said bluntly.

Emperor Qiyuan pointed out mercilessly: "The dispatch of practicing three rests and one rest?"

Embarrassed on Haitu's face, he immediately promised: "I will train the guards into an iron army, and guard the palace city like a fortress, so as to relieve His Majesty's worries and labors!"

Having said this, Haitu's face became a little more proud.Which commander likes to have uncle soldiers all under his command?It's just a matter of expediency.Su Wei's reputation as trash is well known to everyone, and no one expects them to do something serious, so he, the commander, can sit back and relax and don't have to worry about Wen Jinli's wooing.But at the same time, he also lost the opportunity to prove himself.

Now, this opportunity was put in front of him by Emperor Qi Yuan, which aroused the grand ambitions he once had.

Emperor Qi Yuan tapped his finger on the table and said: "Then I will wait and see."

Moved is moved, if Su Wei can't change his dandyism, Gu Zhen will not give another chance, he is not a Jin Wuwei who was appointed on a whim, the dots he draws will eventually be connected into a line.

Haitu kowtowed heavily: "The minister and the guard will surely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Emperor Qi Yuan: "Good!"

Sanbao knew how to look at Emperor Qiyuan's face, and stopped being picky about Commander Hai, and sent Commander Hai out with a pleasant face, and then worriedly found that Emperor Qiyuan, who was in a good mood just now, turned gloomy again at the border defense map.

Gu Zhen has neither the mind nor the time to focus on Xie Jiuyuan these days, so he just reads the news that comes in every day.

On the one hand, although there are undercurrents surging in the current court, it is not a situation of confrontation after all.In his previous life, Xie Jiuyuan was not an imperial envoy, but a fifth-rank official sent to investigate cases, and he was able to handle things satisfactorily. Now, as an imperial envoy, it should not be more difficult than in his previous life.

On the other hand, there are really more important border defense issues.

The horse tribe in the northwest was not satisfied with the autumn wind. The side report came that they had looted the two cities of Leh and Ning, and the people suffered heavy casualties.

Emperor Qiyuan wanted to avoid this tragic case. At that time, he approved the memorial to support the horse clan. When he went to court the next day, he specifically emphasized, "Support belongs to support, and the household department must order it. Anxi Tianguan! The three cities that assist the horse tribe have been notified that they will only be given supplies, and they will be sent to monitor when they are distributed, and they will not be allowed to enter the city."

The Holy Majesty has made it clear, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has indeed listened to it. At least these words are written in the decree.

However, the attitude of the small officials in the border city towards the horse tribe began to be lax since the middle and later periods of the first emperor. They were used to not taking the horse tribe seriously, so the frontier city didn't take it seriously at all.

The first emperor's behavior of beating the horses in the middle and late period was already too conniving, and it was peaceful because the first emperor was ambitious and worked hard when he first came to the throne. He beat the horses back and forth several times, which shocked the horses. Second-rate.And during the rebellion of the first emperor's last year, the horse clan happened to be vying for the throne, so they had no time to covet their neighbors, so they lived in peace.

Now that the new king of the horse clan is on the throne, and the northwest has been hit by disasters year after year, after a few trials, he naturally showed his fangs to Da Chu.

When they went to court the next day, the officials had already expected that the court meeting would not be easy, but they did not expect that Emperor Qi Yuan would be so angry that he would berate the officials for the first time in Fengtian Hall.

When the court meeting started, the atmosphere was different from before. Only Wen Jinli remained calm, while the other ministers all lowered their eyebrows, for fear of being implicated.

The Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Wuqi, and Wen Jinli's eyes met, and he came out first to report the danger: "Your Majesty, while reporting urgently, Anxiwei sent an advance team of thousands of people to escort the people to retreat. When they met the horse tribe vanguard, The whole army was wiped out, and Anxiwei sent troops to catch up with them, and the horse tribe also plundered the city of Brin while fleeing. The guilty minister is incompetent, please forgive me."

Qin Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up to plead guilty: "The humble minister is guilty. It is the master of Lecheng who did not listen to the holy words, which caused these disasters. Please forgive me."

Wen Jinli is the prime minister on the left, and he is in charge of all the officials, so he naturally has to stand up at this time: "I am incompetent, I am ashamed to be prime minister, please forgive me."

When the ministers saw the situation, Wen Xiang had pleaded guilty, so they keenly accepted the current situation, and knelt down on the ground: "The minister is guilty, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly."

This is not an apology, this is the intention of forcing Emperor Qiyuan to take it lightly with the law not to blame the public.

Emperor Qi Yuan was already depressed, and when he saw the officials acting like this, his anger surged upwards.

"Okay, okay", Emperor Qi Yuan stood up, "Please check it out? Well, all of you criminals will kneel down to me!"

Emperor Qi Yuan yelled loudly, the dragon was mighty, and the officials trembled in fright. This is different from what was expected. Shouldn't they order the crime to be mitigated first and the merits to be paid off?

"All of you are the pillars of the imperial court. I don't know what you are thinking when I look at you? The officials of the household department have the guts to disobey the holy order and act recklessly! The people in the two cities suffered heavy casualties, and their houses were looted. It is not enough. The dignified Anxiwei, who eats the food grown by the common people and receives the salary from the imperial court, reacts slowly, and has the courage to send thousands of people to deal with the military situation! Now he has been robbed of Brin City! Pleading guilty? Can you afford it!"

"From top to bottom, a nest of snakes and rats! Why do you have the face to kneel here to plead guilty? You should kneel at the gates of the three cities! This is fooling the people! Fooling me! In your eyes, do you still have the emperor like me?" !"

Emperor Qiyuan's furious eyes swept over the officials in Fengtian Hall. The officials were so shocked by Emperor Qiyuan's words that they kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty deserves death! Your Majesty, calm down!"

Not to mention the officials, even Wen Jinli was taken aback by Emperor Qi Yuan's outburst, and knelt obediently.

Emperor Qi Yuan sneered and sat back on the throne, not intending to let this matter go easily.

"Scholars all over the world are waiting for the exams. After ten years of studying hard, you who have jumped the dragon's gate usually form cliques, fight for power and profit, and perfunctory the government. When such a tragedy happens, you don't rush. Expect to kneel down. I have set a good example for my disciples! I should learn from you old-fashioned skills, and the Great Chu Dynasty has your family, so why worry about it!"

When the big hat was put on, the officials were even more frightened and kowtowed: "The ministers are in panic!"

When it comes to "forming cliques and fighting for power and profit", Emperor Qiyuan's eyes stopped for a short while, and Wen Jinli was on his back.

After a while of silence, Emperor Qiyuan sighed suddenly: "The last emperor of the previous dynasty, all the officials, were driven into the sea by the horse tribe like chickens and drowned. If it hadn't been for the Tai|| ancestor who rose up, you would all be slaves of the horse tribe now. There is no trivial matter in frontier defense, I will remember it all!"

All the ministers said in unison: "Ministers, please keep this in mind, long live the ancestor emperor, long live long live your majesty!"

Emperor Qiyuan didn't let them stand up, and called: "Wen Xiang."

Wen Jinli replied respectfully: "The minister is here."

"According to Wen Xiang, how should we deal with this matter?"

"This", Wen Jinli couldn't hear the emotion in Emperor Qiyuan's words, frowned and thought about it quickly, and then continued, "I think that the commander of Anxi Wei should be held accountable, and the official position of the chief of Liecheng should be seized, and Anxi Wei should be ordered Immediately attack with all your strength, defend the border towns, hunt down the horse tribe, and avenge the common people."

What I said was still the meaning of taking it lightly, but also to blame the commander of Anxiwei, and to order Anxiwei to attack with all his strength, so naturally he couldn't be too harsh.But the one who was really punished was the head of Leh City, a mere sixth-rank local official.

Emperor Qiyuan gave a "hmm", without saying whether it was good or bad, and said straightly: "I have a purpose, and all the ministers listen to it."

"The minister is waiting to accept the order."

Emperor Qiyuan observed the expressions of all the officials, and said slowly: "In the third year of Qiyuan, the Ma clan was ungrateful, invaded the northwestern border city of our great Chu, looted the people, and bloodbathed the three cities. It is intolerable. In all dealings, I vow to wipe out the horse clan, so as to comfort the spirits of the people in our Great Chubulin City, Ning City, and Leh City."

"Remove the commander of Anxiwei, and Jingwei will rush to Anxi immediately. The heavy shackles and iron chains will be taken back to the capital for interrogation. There must be no mistakes. If you flee halfway, you will be executed. The commander of Anxiwei will be suspended and handed over to the deputy commander of Xiningwei and General Jindao. Yuan Jiu, take his own soldiers to the post, give him a white horse and silver armor, and go out on behalf of the king, and he will be in charge of the affairs of Anxiwei from now on, and those who disobey the order will be executed."

"Shang Shu Wei of the Ministry of War has no term, and the deployment of troops is slow. He is useless. He is demoted to a commoner and is not allowed to be an official. The post of Shang Shu of the Ministry of War will be promoted by Jin Ge, the left servant of the Ministry of War."

"Qin Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has neglected to supervise, and has been fined for three months. I hope I will correct my mistakes by self-examination."

"Chin this."

It was only at this time that some ministers realized that Emperor Qi Yuan's anger was an opportunity to exchange his cronies for superior positions!

But they were wrong.

Jin Ge and Yuan Jiu, at least in their previous lives, were not strictly speaking imperialists.

They are just courtiers who really do not fight against the party, do things seriously, and fight wars seriously.

They also didn't understand why Emperor Qi Yuan was so angry.

There are still some officials in the court who understand, and hope is ignited in their eyes.

However, Wen Jinli's heart was full of anger.

Eunuch Sanbao sternly shouted: "Ministers, take the decree and thank you!"

All the ministers had different thoughts, but they all kowtowed: "The ministers wait for the decree to thank you!"

"Retreat!"

"Farewell to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

At the same time, Xie Jiuyuan was really devastated in the face of the turbulent and delicate Jiangnan officialdom. He wished that the exam would start tomorrow, so that these officials would not have more troubles.
