Four hundred and sixteenth chapter ministers to lead people(1/2)
Huang Ran, the general of the warrior from Yizi Camp, personally arrived.
Huang Ran, who was sitting on the horse's back, narrowed his eyes and looked at the county magistrate, and his fingers beat his whip rhythmically. The county magistrate and the county magistrate said nothing that he had even arrived, so he hurried over to salute.
"General, this is just a small matter, why don't you come here in person?"
"A small thing?"
Huang Ran sat upright on the horse's back, and the chill at the corners of his mouth became heavier and heavier: "So in the eyes of the county magistrate, this is all a trivial matter?"
The county magistrate knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "The emperor's words are inappropriate, so please forgive me. The emperor will handle this matter well. Please rest assured. Those who violate the law of Daning will not forgive me lightly."
"It's not how you deal with these things now, but I think you should be dealt with."
Huang Ran pointed at the soldiers with a horse whip and said, "Drop their weapons for me."
The soldiers moved forward, and the soldiers immediately retreated, and someone threw the weapons directly.
The county magistrate knelt down with a pounce: "General, please wait. The subordinates are indeed wrong in this matter. They are not restraining the troops and are not well caring for the military households. The general asks to give the subordinates a chance. The subordinates and the county magistrate will definitely give the general's wife an explanation."
"I won't have to pay you any more."
Huang Ran looked at Song Dongyuan: "Are you Shen Leng's soldier?"
"yes!"
"Do you still remember Shen Leng?"
Huang Ran looked at the soldiers: "About two years ago, about 100 soldiers were attacked and killed by water bandits. Who avenged them?"
The soldiers bowed their heads and said nothing.
"Don't think of yourself as a soldier. The soldiers are also soldiers. If there is something wrong with Daning, we will be the first group to rush to the battlefield to fight with the enemy. If we are gone, you will be the second group to go up. Think about it, if it is your mother and your wife who are bullied, will you draw your sword and kill people?"
Huang Ran sighed: "I am the general of the war soldiers of Yizi Camp. I have no right to interfere in local civil affairs, nor have the right to deal with local officials. But today I will be domineering... I took off the official uniforms of these two local officials and put down the weapons of these wing soldiers."
Huang Ran jumped off the horse and strode to Wang Gendong's door.
Mrs. Wang heard the neighing of the horses standing outside and heard someone calling for the general. She knew that the war soldiers had arrived. She felt a little confident in her heart. When she opened the door and looked out, she saw Huang Ran walking to the door. In the sun, the general armor shone brightly.
"I'll apologize to my sister-in-law."
Huang Ran stood solemnly and saluted: "You are wronged."
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but squat on the ground and burst into tears.
No one expected that this would be a big deal.
As a big deal, not only did Huang Ran involve him, but Shen Leng was also involved.
For this matter, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War had a quarrel, and the Ministry of Justice was caught in the middle and was not a human being.
Daning has a law, and the soldiers and generals stationed in various roads have no right to interfere with local civil affairs, so Huang Ran directly stripped the official uniforms of the local county magistrate and county magistrate, which violated the law of Daning. The Ministry of War clerks another law. The relatives of the Daning war soldiers were violated. According to Daning's law, they should be beheaded the person who committed the crime and will never be forgiven. The county magistrate and county magistrate were wrong first, so what if they stripped the official uniforms.
At this moment, the emperor was already halfway to Dongjiang.
"What are the people below talking about?"
The emperor glanced at Mu Zhaotong. The Grand Secretary could not escape the Eastern Tour with the Emperor. This matter was inevitable that the cabinet would cause trouble in front of the emperor. The civil servants must defend this position. If something similar happened in the future, would the military personnel still be so domineering? The military generals were even more rigid. In their opinion, the woman who was guarding the family was bullied, let alone cutting two heads, it would be no exaggeration to cut twenty.
"The Censorate's Office reported that Chen Leng was not strict in his treatment."
Mu Zhaotong lowered his head: "Chen Leng is the general of the navy, but his soldiers ran to Jiangnan Road. There are three laws that violated the Daning Law... First, soldiers should not leave the military camp easily. Although Song Dongyuan and others had the military order of Chen Leng, the military order was originally wrong. Second, even if those villagers were guilty first, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice, or to the Tingwei Mansion for disposal, instead of directly chopping the people. Third, Chen Leng mobilized troops to seek personal gain during the war."
The emperor frowned slightly: "What else?"
"The Censorate's Office participated in the fighter general Huang Ran of Yizi Camp, who did not respect national laws and did not abide by military rules."
"What else?"
"The Censorate's Office reported to the Navy Admiral Zhuang Yong to be abstained from the strict throne."
“Is there any more?”
"Huo Zhaicheng, the Minister of Personnel, reported to the Navy Admiral Zhuang Yong, who was not strict in leading troops, was not good. He asked His Majesty to remove his post. He asked Chen Leng Feiyang to be arrogant and domineering in the army to commit crimes. He asked His Majesty to punish him severely."
"Huozhaicheng is the newly added minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Back to your Majesty, yes."
"Are you a disciple of the cabinet?"
"Go back to your Majesty, it's..."
The emperor ordered the imperial chariot to stop, got off the chariot, moved his arms, looked at the beautiful scenery of the faraway mountain and took several breaths: "The Master of the Pavilion believes that what should be done about this matter?"
Mu Zhaotong lowered her head: "This matter has nothing to do with General Zhuang Yong, so Huo Zhaicheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has gone through it."
The emperor said: "I am asking the cabinet master how to deal with Song Dongyuan, how to deal with Chen Leng, and how to deal with Huang Ran?"
Mu Zhaotong lowered his head: "Song Dongyuan acted under the orders of Chen Leng's army. This is one of them. Although he killed people in the street, it was an extreme act, but it was understandable. Therefore, I thought that he could be expelled from the warriors and sent back to his original home."
"Um."
The emperor raised his lips slightly, but he didn't smile.
"continue."
Mu Zhaotong said: "Huang Ran is wrong, but it's not a big mistake. Your Majesty can just scold him. As for General Chen Leng... I don't know what to do. He is still fighting for Daning in the southern border. The Ministry of War has just reported so many military achievements that cannot be finished even if a page of paper is written. I have to stand for thousands of miles, kill two princes, burn several granaries, kill more than ten thousand enemies, and capture several county towns. If such a general is punished at this time, I feel unfair."
The emperor did not expect Mu Zhaotong to say this, but he felt relieved. How could this matter do to Chen Leng? At most, it was just a lack of strict military governance, and at worst it was a salary penalty. He didn't need to worry about this matter. It was better to follow the emperor's wishes, at least not cause any fishy consequences.
The emperor nodded: "Gei Lao thought carefully."
Then he looked at Mu Zhaotong: "Where are those two local officials? Why didn't one of them say what to do with them?"
Mu Zhaotong was stunned and thought to herself that this was not good.
"People's hearts must be upright."
The emperor was silent for a moment: "Huang Ran, the general of the Yizi Camp warrior, interfered in local civil affairs and was fined one year's salary."
"yes."
Mu Zhaotong lowers her head.
"I admire two Eastern pearls, ten pieces of brocade, fifty taels of gold."
Mu Zhaotong was stunned for a moment: "Why are you rewarded?"
"I can reward you if I want to, but let the Censorate scold me for being a fool."
The emperor was too lazy to explain anything and was too lazy to give an excuse, just as when he destroyed Nanyue, he was too lazy to use the fact that Nanyue organized an alliance to fight against Daning as a reason, but it was different. At that time, Daning did not send troops on the grounds of the alliance, which was to give face to other countries and make them think about it, which was also considered as comforting their hearts.
Now the emperor is becoming more casual because he has become more and more powerful in controlling this Daning.
"Do you have calculated how you should reward Chen Leng's military merits?"
The emperor asked.
Mu Zhaotong lowered her head: "I've got a little more, and I'm still counting."
"No need to forget it, I'm giving an order... Chen Lengxun will be promoted to the guardian army ten times, receive the third-rank salary, wait for the third-rank, and reward 200 households with a fief. He will be promoted to the first level and get the third-rank. He will still be the general of the Navy Commander of the Sea. He will select 3,000 new soldiers from the southern arsenal of the Xinjiang region to replenish his troops and let him train his troops by himself. Well... there is also a mistake, so he will be fined for one year."
Mu Zhaotong sneered in her heart, and was also desolate.
This is from the third grade?
Daning has been established for hundreds of years, so where can anyone compare with this guy named Chen Leng? How long has it been? In just less than three years, from an ordinary recruit to a general who has led the first army from the third rank, almost at the same level as the general of the 20th guards of the Daning army!
Is this fair?
"Your Majesty, Chen Leng's promotion is too fast, and it may cause criticism."
"Criticize?"
The emperor smiled: "Everyone has a mouth and anyone can speak. Whoever criticizes me will let anyone go to the southern border to lead troops to travel thousands of miles in Qiuli, kill two princes, and use two thousand soldiers and ten ships to slaughter tens of thousands of enemies. Whoever does it, I will also give you a promotion quickly. Don't forget that before that, he and Tang Baobao defeated Qiuli Beihai Navy in one fell swoop, killing more than 60,000 enemies."
The emperor looked into the distance: "Do you know how many 60,000 people are? You can take your hands and pull them out at least 200 miles."
Mu Zhaotong said: "I will draw an order now."
Then he asked, "Those two local officials?"
"You can also pay a salary for one year, and stay on duty."
The emperor said, "I heard that they just built a new house for Wang Gendong's family? I will not keep aside a person's mistakes. Whether it is a military general or a civil servant, the local officials have too many things to do, and they are too worried. They can't always stare at the family, so I can tolerate any omissions and don't make mistakes again."
The emperor shook his arm and got into the car: "Song Dongyuan ordered the patrol master to return to the sea patrol and let Chen Leng discipline him well!"
"Since the order."
The emperor said: "Let the Censor Lai Cheng, the Censor of the Censor, come to see me."
Dai Fangzhou hurried to pass the imperial edict, and glanced at the Grand Secretary who was almost white with his hair and hair, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Not long after, the censor Lai Cheng went outside the carriage. The emperor asked him to come in and talk. Lai Cheng came up with his clothes and then leaned over and bowed down: "I pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Enough!"
The emperor glared at him, and Lai Cheng couldn't finish his long live afterwards.
The emperor leaned over and stared at Lai Cheng's eyes: "I asked you to do things in the Censorate because I know you are apt to do it. Have you been addicted to scolding me recently? I think it's fun? Do you really think I have no temper?"
Lai Cheng looked out and was sure that the people outside could not see it, so he felt aggrieved: "Your Majesty asked me to do this, I... feel aggrieved."
To be continued...
