Chapter 75 The emperor's edict, the emperor's will!
The furious Ming official left the post station, took the horse rein and whip handed over by the post guard, lifted up his official robe, jumped on his mount and whipped away. His movements were so agile that those in the post station were...
The soldier was almost dumbfounded. "When did our civil servants in the Ming Dynasty have such good skills?" In fact, one of the post soldiers looked at the back of the civil servant who was galloping away, and couldn't help but sighed in a daze.
"I think this gentleman is not like a civil servant, but like an elite of our frontier army." Another postman had a different opinion.
"What nonsense are you two bastards talking about?!" Wu Yicheng, who didn't know when he appeared at the door of the inn, heard the exchange between the two. His face changed and he yelled: "Why don't you do it quickly?"
What should be done is, if I hear you talking nonsense in front of those Wazai people again, I will ask for military orders from the top and kill you! Do you understand?"
Seeing that the usually affable Shangguan suddenly changed his face and actually threatened his life, all the postmen who were not much different from store clerks were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to say another word, and they all disappeared in disgrace.
Within the inn.
Looking at the frightened postmen, Wu Yicheng's face showed no trace of pride, but his brows furrowed even more tightly. "It looks like this official is really dressed up as an elite member of the border army. Alas.
, His grandma, why am I so unlucky..." Maybe something big will happen to the post house that I am in charge of, and the cause this time is probably related to Gao Baihu who once threatened me with a knife.
related.
The Ming Dynasty civil servant who came out of the post station galloped straight into the governor's mansion. When he entered the hall, he saw Yang Hong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, and several generals and several civil servants were in the hall.
discussion.
"Report to the Grand Governor that Na Xining refused to come to the banquet and provoked a bunch of Tatars in front of the general. There is no sincerity." The general pretending to be a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty immediately saluted and reported.
"As expected, it seems that Brother Gao Yun's expectation is correct. Grand Governor, look..." Wang Qianshi, who had already changed out of his handyman uniform and put on a general's armor with gleaming armor leaves, couldn't help but frown.
frowned.
Yang Hong nodded slightly and glanced at the people around him. "Everyone, you have already seen the emperor's secret edict. What do you think?"
"Grand Governor, a traitor prefers to betray his country for the sake of glory. Such rebellion should be punished by everyone!" Yang Jun puffed up his chest and stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, the eldest son is right. The emperor has an edict. How can we disobey it? In the past few months, Xi Ning has often gone south with the Wac army, attacking our villages and towns in the Ming Dynasty, plundering my people, destroying my fields, and leaving countless people behind."
There are tens of thousands of them. If this thief is not eliminated, our Ming Dynasty's northern border will be in trouble." Wang Qianshi also stood up and spoke.
"Grand Governor, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not." At this time, one of the civil servants who had closed their eyes and lowered their brows in deep thought stood up.
"Speak." Yang Hong didn't even raise his eyelids, staring at the secret edict that was passed back to his hand.
"Now, the emperor has issued an edict that we, the Ming Dynasty, have ceased war with Wa Ci. We must not start wars or border provocations lightly. The lower officials also deeply hate Xi Ning. However, if the governor's sword moves, Wa Ci will be provoked. When the time comes,
The army is approaching the border, and the crime of provocation on the border is lightly raised..."
"This is exactly the reason. I hope the Grand Governor will think twice. Today is the Ming Dynasty. If the Emperor's opinions are contrary to the Emperor's, we should respect the Emperor's will. Looking at the Grand Governor caring about the millions of elders in Xuanfu,
It's better to act with caution." Another civil servant also stood up and urged.
"The Grand Governor is now in the holy family. He is just a Xining. How can he not kill him? He has soldiers and assassins. How can we, the Ming Dynasty, not succeed? In the last battle, the Grand Governor used 800 cavalry to defeat ten times the enemy.
, now, are you still afraid of them?" Another general couldn't help but jumped out and shouted.
"General Zhao, you can't say that. This matter is not just as simple as killing a traitor." A civil official couldn't help but stood up again: "It involves the face of the court, how can we not be cautious?"
"Your Majesty and the Emperor have different opinions on the face of the court. This matter..." Among the generals, there were also cautious people with hesitation on their faces.
However, no matter how much they argued, Governor Yang kept staring at the secret edict in his hand, pursed his lips tightly, and showed no intention of speaking. His eyebrows were also furrowed, turning a blind eye to everything happening around him.
Listen but not hear.
"Generals and lords, please be patient. The Commander-in-Chief has his own opinions." The master standing next to Yang Hong saw his master's eyebrows raised, and he knew that the Commander-in-Chief had already made up his mind.
He decided, so he stood up and spoke to remind everyone who was arguing.
The originally noisy hall quickly became deserted, and everyone focused their attention on Yang Hong, who slowly stood up.
Yang Hong's eyes finally left the secret edict, raised his piercing eyes, glanced at everyone present and said solemnly: "Everyone, I believe you all still remember that day, when Wa Ci defeated our Ming Dynasty in Tumu Fort.
What will it be like when we have 200,000 elite troops marching westward?"
"...At that time, the situation was so dangerous that if we were not careful, Xuan Mansion was in danger of losing the city. I was on top of the city and saw His Majesty standing under the city, facing swords and axes.
But his appearance has not changed. At that time, I thought that if something unexpected happened to Your Majesty because I refused you behind closed doors, I would put an end to this old body and atone for the crime of disrespecting the emperor." Yang Hong's voice was low and his tone was calm.
However, there is an indescribable desolation overflowing in it.
"Fortunately, thanks to the protection of heaven, the emperor's journey was safe. He was alone under the capital city, among tens of thousands of thorns, tigers and wolves. He stood up and spoke out to inspire the determination of victory in millions of Ming Dynasty's subjects and soldiers. Otherwise, there would have been a great victory under the capital city.
, If Wa Ci does not suffer this misfortune, how can he easily retreat, so that our Ming Dynasty can calmly regulate and stabilize the northern border."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Hong tapped his fingers on the table, as if to add a footnote to his words. "...I have been in Xuan Mansion for a long time, and I don't know how much Na Wa Ci thinks about me, Da Ming, all the year round.
Invading the borders of our Ming Dynasty, attacking our military towns, and kidnapping our border residents, no one in the world knows that these nomads are cruel, murderous, and ambitious. Do you think that they sincerely want to make peace with our Ming Dynasty?"
"Today, the emperor is hunting in the north, regardless of personal danger, just like the Ming Dynasty, he is determined to eliminate traitors. As ministers, how can we not fulfill our duties and disobey the edict?" Yang Hong's voice suddenly mentioned
"The Commander-in-Chief is loyal and courageous, which really puts the subordinates to shame. However, if the Commander-in-Chief obeys the Emperor's edict, where will he place the Emperor?" The leading civil servant stood out from the crowd with a confused look on his face and bowed deeply.
After hearing this, Yang Hong's face turned red due to Yang Hong's words, and all the excited civil and military officials couldn't help but change their expressions.
