Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, Ming Chengzu still didn't take it to heart.
He secretly placed 800 armed forces in Daxing. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, his crime should be punished. Xiao Chen cut off his right hand, which indirectly saved his life.
Although in terms of personal feelings, I feel unhappy, Xiao Chen also acted in a righteous manner, and I have no reason to blame him.
On the contrary, I should thank him.
However, now that something like He Xuan has happened, the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government should be talking about it a lot. He really wants to see how much confusion there is in such a big matter.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it was obvious that Hong Tianren, Minister of War, had arrived.
"Your Majesty, Lord Hong Tianrenhong, Minister of War, has arrived." Sure enough, Wang Xiaosi's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Ming Chengzu said softly.
Because the schedule of "hunting" in Huailai is gradually increasing, the Ministry of War is very busy. The two ministers have arrived in Huailai to make overall arrangements for the assembly and training of all the troops participating in the "hunting".
Shangshu Hong Tianren was in charge of the Ministry of War, handling some of the daily affairs of the Ministry of War, and waiting for the emperor to leave for Huailai.
Hearing that the emperor summoned him, Hong Tianren put down what he was doing without saying a word and hurriedly followed Wang Xiaosi to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Hong Tianren, is here to see you, Your Majesty." With a flick of his robe, Hong Tianren knelt on his knees, which was a great gift from the court.
"Hong Aiqing, get up." Ming Chengzu smiled and waved his right hand upward gently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hong Tianren kowtowed again, and then slowly stood up. He stood in front of the huge table, with his waist bent and a respectful look on his face.
Passing the official document from Shuntian Mansion forward in his hand, Ming Chengzu said: "Hong Aiqing, take a look at this official document."
"Yes." In response, Hong Tianren took the official document with both hands, straightened his hands, and tried hard to read the handwriting on it.
Seeing Hong Tianren working hard to stretch the official document into the distance, Ming Chengzu couldn't help but shook his head: "Hong Aiqing, you are also a veritable elder in the court. Why, your eyes are so dazzled that you have trouble reading the words?"
Hong Tianren smiled awkwardly: "Back to the emperor, maybe Wei Chen is really old, and his eyes are not as good as before. I used to browse official documents and turn them over at will. Now, I have to hold them farther away to see clearly."
"
"Would you like Xiao Si to read it to you?" Ming Chengzu asked with a smile.
"No, no need." Hong Tianren quickly waved his hand and said, "Although you hold it farther away, I can still see the handwriting clearly."
"Okay, take your time and watch." Ming Chengzu then looked at Wang Xiaosi, "Xiaosi, make a bowl of tea for Hong Aiqing. Just make the West Lake Longjing tea that Xiao Chen brought back from Hangzhou."
"Yes." Wang Xiaosi bowed in response and began to work.
Since the last time Yang Shiqi came to the Imperial Study Room, there has always been a huge chair placed opposite the desk of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.
After the officials left, Wang Xiaosi planned to move the chair out, but was blocked by Ming Chengzu.
This chair is prepared for your ministers.
The existence of this chair also indirectly shows that these close ministers of mine are already old.
The ministers who have been following him have grown old, and so have he.
Time is not forgiving. No matter how strong your body is, under the baptism of time, it will eventually grow old and turn into dust.
Hong Tianren, who had been standing next to him, didn't know whether he was really old or was shocked by the contents of the official document. His hands holding the official document gradually began to tremble.
"Your Majesty, what is Shuntian Mansion going to do?" Unknowingly, Hong Tianren had finished reading the official document. At the same time, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead nervously.
"I called you here because I just want to hear your opinion on this matter." Ming Chengzu said slowly.
Hong Tianren's hands were trembling as he placed the official documents on the desk.
"The emperor has been fighting for a lifetime, and the ministers have followed the emperor and witnessed the war for a lifetime. The tragic post-war scene with corpses everywhere is really desolate. But Shuntian Mansion is both an innocent soul and a vicious ghost. This statement
, I dare not agree with you." Hong Tianren said.
Pointing to the chair next to him, Ming Chengzu said: "Sit down and tell me why you disagree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Maybe he is really old, and his legs can no longer support him standing for a long time. After Hong Tianren simply thanked him, he sat down on the chair.
"There is no armed force from the imperial court in Daxing County. These people are grouped together and armed, and they are obviously planning something evil. It is an act of justice for the captain in purple to remove these people. How can the souls of these people be called unjust souls?"
?He turned into a fierce ghost, how can there be such a thing as a fierce ghost in the world? These words are confusing black and white, and are intended to smear the purple-clothed captain." Looking at Ming Chengzu, Hong Tianren said indignantly.
Last time, the emperor almost persuaded him to quit just because he accused Xiao Chen.
Now, the purple-clad captain is involved again, how dare Hong Tianren not learn to behave?!
Although most of what he said was true, the overall rhetoric was still biased towards Xiao Chen.
"Oh, these are Hong Aiqing's innermost thoughts?" Ming Chengzu smiled lightly and looked at Hong Tianren.
Hearing Ming Chengzu ask himself this question and seeing the other person's weird smile, Hong Tianren felt a hair in his heart.
What happened to the emperor? Did he say something wrong?
But, thinking about it carefully, I didn't say anything wrong.
"Back to the emperor, from the literal meaning of the official document, Wei Chen understood it this way. However, what did Chen Wei want to do with this move? He exaggeratedly promoted the current situation of Daxing, and even asked the Shenji Battalion to station in Daxing. He should know that Shenji
The battalion is the main army in Huailai's 'hunting' this time, and he is still making such a request at this juncture. Does he want the emperor to get angry with the purple-robed captain because of this?"
With his eyes filled with confusion, Hong Tianren looked at Ming Chengzu, wanting to hear the answer from his mouth.
"Hahaha..." Ming Chengzu laughed loudly.
"Hong Aiqing's words suddenly hit the point. This official document was submitted to Shuntian Mansion from Daxing County, and then Chen Wei submitted it intact. Chen Wei was also smart and knew how difficult this matter was.
, simply push it all in front of me and let me make a decision. This Chen Wei, I have to reprimand him from now on."
"Yes, not arranging the manpower of the Shenji Battalion shows that the emperor does not pay attention to the suffering of the people. Arrange it. The Shenji Battalion will participate in this 'hunt', and it will be the top one. No matter how this matter is handled, others will be given a handle. Chen Wei
I'm afraid there is no other way." Hong Tianren said.
"You still intercede for high-ranking officials in the DPRK. I think Chen Wei is evading responsibility and that's why he kicked this ball to me. How do you think Hong Aiqing should handle this matter best?"
