In the Kyoto court, there was a rare quarrel at this moment. The news about the beast tide sweeping through Nange City had spread. After several days of fermentation, King Wen finally put it out today and asked everyone to give their opinions.
The Ji family did not come today, perhaps because one of their own branches took the main responsibility for this beast wave. They were born with a fault, and they could not escape criticism and harassment even if they came to court, so they simply did not come.
"...The casualties and losses in Nange City are probably like this. I wonder if you all have any opinions to mention." King Wen finished reading the report in his hand, and the court began from here.
"Nange City is the capital of Nanchuan. The governor cannot escape his responsibility for such a severe damage." Sun Wu spoke first and cupped his hands. "I think the governor of Nanchuan, Mr. Zuo Zuzi, has made certain negligence and should be punished to a certain extent and suspended from office for probation."
Before these words could be finished, Li Ming spoke abruptly on the opposite side, "When the beast tide is coming, shouldn't we first think about how to provide disaster relief? Why do we punish them first?"
"You, Sun Wu, are so eager to replace the governor of Nanchuan?"
"Li Ming, what do you mean by this?" After two sentences, Sun Wu's expression suddenly turned dark. "It is a big mistake to rule first. The governor has failed in his duties, which proves that he is not suitable to be the governor."
"Isn't the main reason why the beast tide broke out because the Ji family rebelled? What does it have to do with the Governor of Nanchuan? Even if he has neglected his duties, at most he just doesn't know people well?" Ye Mou also spoke up, "Sun Wu, you don't even know the priorities.
Can’t you tell the difference?”
"You." These words made Sun Wu choke. On the side, the civil servants of their lineage saw this and were busy changing the subject, "Marshal Ye, the Ji family is the Ji family of Nange City, so we can't just talk about the Ji family.
"
"You civil servants can only speak words." Ye Mou replied coldly, "Are you unable to understand human speech or do you think King Wen cannot understand human speech? You don't know that the Ji family I am talking about is the Ji family of Nange City.
?Are your ears on your butt?”
"Marshal Ye, how can someone in the court be so vulgar?" Another civil servant spoke up.
"What's wrong with my vulgarity? I, Ye Mou, am a military general. I have been fighting and killing on the battlefield all my life, so I can't say anything nice." Ye Mou counterattacked, "If you find it objectionable, you don't have to listen. King Wen didn't say anything, just jump out.
What are you anxious about?"
"Except for setting up unnecessary literary inquisitions, what use are you civil servants? You can't fight, and you can only write blindly. You still receive so much salary every year. If you look at it, the book boys in my family who study ink are more useful than you."
"King Wen." These words made several civil servants anxious. Their eyes moved and looked at King Wen at the end of the round table, seeming a little anxious.
King Wen naturally heard the whole quarrel, and there was a look of helplessness on his face.
Ever since Ye Mou and Li Ming raised the banner and entered the court, there have been countless quarrels like this every day. This quarrel is not only the conflict between Sun Ji's family and Ye Mou, but also the conflict between those on the front lines who have withdrawn.
between the military generals and the civil servants trained by this dynasty.
Civil servants are always in charge, while military generals are always in charge of killing. Sun Ji's side more represents the noble clans that have been entrenched for many years, and they consider their own power and profit, while most of Ye Mou's side are generals who fight alone on the battlefield, and even more
People-friendly, the priority is ordinary people.
This is also the reason why today's court is in such chaos. In the final analysis, the two sides have already had irreconcilable conflicts. In the past, Sun Ji was the dominant one, and most of the military commanders who retired from the front were not good at speaking and had no leaders. Now Ye
The emergence of conspiracy is equivalent to filling this vacancy.
But among the people who are close to the king, there are a few who cannot speak. I am a military commander, but I am not forcing the civil servants to jump around in a hurry.
King Wen also had a headache, but at this moment, he could only say, "Marshal Ye, let's discuss the matter of Nange City first."
King Wen spoke, but Ye Mou didn't say anything else. He remained silent for a while, and then said, "I think we should focus on disaster relief. We will first send people over to inspect the specific disaster situation, and then discuss the specific amount of disaster relief."
"After all, Nange City is the capital of Nanchuan and represents the center of a province. If the victims are severely affected and lose their victims, the impact will be huge."
"Yes." After hearing this, King Wen nodded slightly and looked to the other side, "Minister Sun Wu, what do you think?"
"I think we should also rectify some officials who are looking for opportunities to cause trouble." Sun Wu said, but he suddenly took out an information booklet, "Many people have reported in Nanchuan that the Minister of Military Affairs of Nanchuan, Tiangong, is suspected of gathering private soldiers.
, it is said that it has tens of thousands of troops, and has repeatedly collided with the Governor's Mansion and the major families in Nange City."
"Minister of the Nanchuan Armed Forces? Gathering private soldiers?" As soon as this unfamiliar term came out, King Wen frowned, "Is there such a thing?"
When the voice fell, facing Sun Wu, the expressions of Li Ming and Ye Mou changed slightly. They wanted to say something, but due to the limitations of their positions, they were a little hesitant and did not speak.
"If there is such a thing, we should really take a closer look."
King Wen thought about it, his eyes seemed to sweep over Ye Mou and the others, and after a moment of silence, he made a sound.
"Well, since it is a matter in the south, let Li Ming handle it. Didn't you handle it very well last time in Yuncheng?"
Sun Wu was a little stunned when he decided to speak out. Just as he was about to say something again, Li Ming had already stood up and said, "Thank you King Wen for your trust. Li Ming will handle it properly."
"King Wen..." Sun Wu spoke, but King Wen waved his hand, seeming a little tired, and interrupted Sun Wu's words, "Okay, since Li Ming agreed, let Li Ming go."
"There are still many regulations to be dealt with today. There is no need to continue discussing the Nanchuan matter."
…
After the court ended, a group of people walked out of the door to compare Sun Wu's dark face. Ye Mou and Li Ming were much more refreshed. It was rare that the Ji family rectified the problem and did not go to court, and it was rare that King Wen was biased.
"King Wen is so decisive today. In the past, I had to hesitate for a long time when I argued with him like this." Li Ming spoke up as he walked outside the door and looked at Ye Mou with a somewhat happy expression. "I thought there would be some trouble today."
"King Wen probably knows something..." Ye Mou's expression was a little deeper. He was stronger and thought further. Although his thoughts were complicated at the moment, he just shook his head in the end.
"But as long as King Wen doesn't say anything, everything will be much easier to handle."
"Fan'er has made some big moves in Nange City recently. After this period of time passes, he should be able to establish himself in Nange City."
"He's a really good boy. His ability to seize opportunities is no worse than Zhan Tian's back then. If you give him a few more years, he might be able to do something big in Nanchuan."
Li Ming was full of praise, but when he said a sentence, he seemed to think of something and looked at Ye Mou, "It's just that Fan'er will go to college in another year, right?"
"Well, there is a high probability that he will come to Kyoto." Ye Mou nodded.
"What about his arrangement in Nanchuan?" Li Ming asked, "When he comes to Kyoto, he will be just a student. By then, I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to change his identity as casually as he does now."
"I don't know about that. He should have a plan himself." Ye Mou shook his head and said something. He turned his head and looked over. When he saw Li Ming's sad face and seemed to have complicated thoughts, he suddenly spoke and cursed:
"You guy, it's none of your business that Ye Fan is studying or anything like that. He's not your grandson, so you're still worried."
"Can't I be sad if he's not my grandson? Zhan Tian is my brother, and I treat his grandson as my own grandson." Li Ming replied. At this point, he suddenly thought of something and came to Ye Mou's side.
.
"Don't tell me, I do have a granddaughter. She is twenty-three years old this year and has just graduated from college. She has the strength of nine golden stars and is as talented as a white flower. How about matching them up..."
"Ye Fan is not even seventeen this year, you think so." Hearing this, Ye Mou laughed and scolded, but looked at Li Ming's serious expression and was stunned, "Brother Li Ming, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Li Ming replied, "The more I see this kid, Ye Fan, the more I like him. I might as well get married and become my grandson."
"It's nothing to do with the marriage, but after all, he has a strong opinion. He still has to make the decision on the marriage..." Ye Mou replied, but he hesitated.
"Why don't you take your granddaughter with you when you go there this time?"
"Then it's settled!" After hearing this, Li Ming agreed and left in a hurry without saying a word, "I'll go find my granddaughter right now."
Watching Li Ming go away, Ye Mou stayed where he was. Perhaps because Li Ming couldn't wait to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled helplessly.
"It's still a bit sloppy."
"I'm afraid there's no way for a man like Fan'er to return his heart to an ordinary woman."
"It doesn't matter if we don't become in-laws, but don't become enemies..."
