Sitting on the dragon chair in the side hall, Ming Chengzu drank tea one after another.
Xiao Chen's failure represents Dongchang's failure. And Dongchang's failure is equivalent to his own failure.
Just now in Huailaiwei, with the performance of Shenji Camp, he won high praise and respect from many foreign envoys, but in the capital of Ming Dynasty, he heard the news of Dongchang's defeat.
Ming Chengzu could not accept this kind of failure and would never allow this kind of failure to exist.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Chen is here." Lin Shangli bowed his body at the gate and reported in a low voice.
"Why don't you come in and wait for me to go out to greet you in person?" Ming Chengzu was in a bad mood, and his words were not polite at all.
When Lin Shangli heard this, he did not dare to say anything. He turned around and waved his hand outside.
In a moment, a purple streak came in from the door.
Xiao Chen hunched over, lowered his head, and knelt on one knee with a "pop" sound.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Chen, see the Emperor."
"Well, I heard that you were defeated in the capital?" Ming Chengzu slowly raised his head, staring at Xiao Chen kneeling in front of him, and said coldly.
"Yes. I am not good at academics and suffered my first defeat in my life." Still lowering his head, Xiao Chen hurriedly replied.
"A defeat is a defeat. Who hasn't suffered several defeats in his life? I think back then, when I led my troops on an expedition, I also encountered several disadvantages. If I were like you, I would not dare to see anyone when I encountered a failure. How could I
Today's powerful Ming Dynasty?" Ming Chengzu said slowly with his hands on the desk.
In fact, what Ming Chengzu was angry about today was not that Xiao Chen had not beaten the other party and had embarrassed himself. It was that he was angry that he had failed and returned to Tumubao, but did not dare to see him.
A person who cannot face failure correctly, how can we expect him to learn from failure and regain success?
Xiao Chen was still young and a benchmark figure in Dongchang. Ming Chengzu did not want this benchmark to fall.
"I am not afraid to see the Emperor, I am just afraid of disturbing the Emperor." Xiao Chen lowered his head and whispered.
"Did you disturb me? You are not a tiger or beast, nor an extremely ugly monster. How could you disturb me?" After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ming Chengzu was a little puzzled.
What's wrong with Xiao Chen today? He kept kneeling on the ground when he came in and didn't dare to raise his head. Could it be that he was beaten so badly that his face was disfigured?
Thinking of this, and looking at Xiao Chen who never dared to look up, Ming Chengzu was even more convinced that his guess was correct.
"The failure is not your fault, it's just that the other party is too powerful. Stop kneeling, get up and talk to me standing up." With suspicion, Ming Chengzu said again.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, and seemed to think twice before he supported the floor, slowly got up, and slowly raised his head to look at Ming Chengzu.
"You, why were you beaten like this?" Ming Chengzu couldn't help but raise his arm and pointed at Xiao Chen, not knowing what to say.
No wonder he dared not come to see him. With his bruises, he was afraid of being laughed at when he went out.
"The opponent's strength was too strong. In order to protect the Dongchang brothers who were fighting together, Wei Chen had to let them go first and stop himself. In a panic, he was hit in the face, and that's what happened." Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
.
"Are there any casualties in the East Factory?"
"Back to the emperor, there are no casualties." Xiao Chen replied hurriedly.
"Okay, now that you're like this, go down and rest. I'll let the Shenji Battalion handle this matter." Ming Chengzu waved his hand and said softly.
