"...In one battle, more than a million grassland tribesmen were slaughtered, and no one survived. Now? The soldiers are rushing into the wilderness, going straight to the royal court, and to Huanglong. In this battle, all the wolves in the grassland will be exterminated, the northern border will be leveled, and their nests will be overthrown.
Under it, not a single tile remains, so that I, Emperor Chen, no longer have to worry about looking north. From now on, the barren grassland will last for eternity..."
This paragraph in the battle report directly caused the entire court to burst into excitement.
"Ye Nantian is simply a cold-blooded butcher! Although the grassland tribesmen do not obey the king's rule and behave barbarically and violently, why should women and children be blamed? Who should be blamed on children? Who should be blamed on children? Who should be blamed on the old and weak? No matter what, he can kill him! He is so heartless and crazy.
is a!"
"Ye Nantian relies on military power, has no superiority, is cruel and bloodthirsty, unscrupulous, and completely inhumane! My minister, impeach Ye Nantian for his inhumane act!"
"Such a major move was not reported to the court first, which shows how lawless Ye Nantian is! Sir, I impeach Ye Nantian for having no father and no king!"
"It is true that the victory is due to Sheji; but annihilating their tribes, exterminating their livestock, and killing them all will really harm the peace of heaven and earth. Your Majesty, Ye Nantian's move will undoubtedly push the Chen Emperor's Kingdom to the opposite side of all countries.
The Chen Emperor's kingdom has become the public enemy of the world, and his heart can be punished..."
"If we conquer the grassland and treat it as a vassal state, pay tribute every year, and teach it as a king, wouldn't it be two birds with one stone? It would also make Emperor Chen's majesty subjugate the barbarians, and his virtue would match the world. Ye Nantian's move is equivalent to
Cutting off the empire's way of running the northern frontier... Tens of thousands of miles of grassland have been left barren for thousands of years... What a waste of natural resources!"
"Your Majesty...Ye Nantian..."
"Your Majesty! If you don't punish Ye Nantian's actions severely, the people will not be angry! If you don't punish them severely, it will not be justice! Your Majesty, please make a quick decision and punish this beast!"
“Your Majesty’s Holy Judgment is respectfully requested!”
A large number of the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down neatly, with tears streaming down their cheeks. Their images of compassion and compassion were so vivid that they could almost be said to be saints on earth.
It seemed that only three people were still standing and not saying a word.
Prime Minister Zuo, and two other old guys.
The three old guys all have white beards, and they seem to have the same expressions. At this moment, they are looking at their noses and hearts, as if they have fallen asleep due to old age and lack of energy, and they don't pay attention to what is happening around them.
.
In fact, the three old guys were all sneering in their hearts.
"What a bunch of idiots!"
"Not to mention the merits and demerits of Ye Nantian's actions; just these three words Ye Nantian are enough! Who is Ye Nantian? Punish him severely? His Majesty the Emperor will never do anything to Ye Nantian."
"These idiots were promoted too quickly. They don't even know that the sky is round and the rocks are hard..."
"Impeaching Ye Nantian is not only a futile effort, but also just embarrassing yourself..."
"Thinking more deeply, Ye Nantian wanted to leave, but he never found a suitable opportunity, but at this moment, it was impeachment... Could this be something that Ye Nantian caused because of his willingness to meet? If so,
, but he killed three birds with one stone, extremely clever, but on the other hand, the biggest headache for His Majesty has always been how to keep him for a long time, but these ministers are trying to drive Ye Nantian away at all costs, and they have committed suicide.
Pillar, this is such a stupid approach..."
The three old guys looked at each other secretly, and they could read the message in each other's eyes. There was a hint of schadenfreude, but for a moment, they remained completely still, as if they could not see or hear.
His Majesty the Emperor had a gloomy face, studying the battle report in his hand, and then looking at the many ministers kneeling in the Golden Palace. For a moment, an indescribable anger suddenly rose in his heart.
I made an agreement with Ye Nantian that I would save his son and he would guard Northern Xinjiang for me for twenty years.
Now, although it is less than twenty years, there are no enemies in northern Xinjiang. They were all killed in this battle. Not to mention twenty years, even if it is another two hundred years, there will be no more enemies in the north in two thousand years.
Enemy.
In other words, Ye Nantian has now fulfilled the original agreement with him.
He will leave at any time after fulfilling his promise!
You can leave without these people's so-called impeachment. There are sufficient reasons.
But these people are still impeaching him and trying to punish him...
Is this the folly of the ignorant?
Sigh, sad, pitiful!
His Majesty the Emperor sighed sincerely, closed his eyes, and thought in his heart: "Grass wolves endanger the country, and even endanger the entire continent. Even if we can defeat them and pay tribute, once they become powerful, they will still bite back! These things will happen again!"
Prairie people can never be tamed, let alone educated! These ministers obviously understand this."
"If the old, weak, women, children and children are left behind, then within twenty years at most, new tribes of steppe wolves will appear again... and will continue to invade... These ministers also understand this truth!"
"But they insist on using this point to attack and impeach Ye Nantian. In fact, the intention is not to kill those grassland people, but it is different from the benevolence and filial piety that Confucianism has always flaunted to govern the country... If Ye Nantian is allowed to continue like this, other generals in the empire will
They will also follow suit... If things go on like this, the status of these scholars and literati will be severely impacted..."
"So they clearly know that exterminating the prairie wolves is right and correct, but they still want to stand on the moral high ground and impeach Ye Nantian! In fact, it is not to really bring down Ye Nantian, but to influence the future of this country.
policy.”
"Gather the power of all civil servants to influence the will of me, the emperor."
"Their goal is to strive for status. The real goal is not Ye Nantian at all; it is me, the emperor."
"Ye Nantian is just an excuse."
"But, do you really know where the bottom line of Ye Nantian's strength is? For a strong man who has already exceeded the limits of this world, it would be foolish to restrict or even make plans based on the rules of this world, or is that so?
In a word, it’s deplorable, pathetic, pitiful!”
His Royal Majesty, who understood all the reasons and the consequences of this matter, sighed deeply, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the dark crowd of ministers below, feeling a wave of weakness in his heart.
This was the first time he sighed helplessly since Ye Xiao delivered the medicine that day to revive Emperor Chen Xuantian with the intention of doing something big!
How many are these people?
Most of the people in the hall who are not attached to the civil servants are military generals, but there are very few military generals, very few.
Now that there are crises on all sides and enemies all over the world, the military generals who have the right to speak are now on the front lines; the remaining people are simply unable to compete with the huge group of civil servants and are not even qualified to speak.
Of course, we need soldiers to fight wars, but it is impossible to govern a country without these civil servants!
The civil servants and military generals are opposed to each other, but they are interdependent. However, in the court, the civil servants have always prevailed over the military commanders!
"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think of this matter?" His Majesty the Emperor asked tiredly.
