However, the military attaché changed the subject and turned directly towards Ang Lee.
"Even the emperor is preparing to lead a personal expedition. Are you trying to obstruct him in every possible way to say that the emperor is acting out of nowhere and disobeying the holy will?"
As soon as the words "Shichu Wuming" came out of his mouth, the military attaché suddenly realized that he had spoken uncontrollably and said something he shouldn't have said.
But now that it has been exported, it is impossible to take it back.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet, pretend to be angry, and stare straight at Li An.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty, who were not old foxes who had clearly seen the sophistication of the world, lay on the ground one after another, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Li An also realized that this guy's words were too inappropriate.
You said it's okay if I disobey the holy will, why do you have to say that my teacher has no name? Do you seem to be knowledgeable and talented, capable of martial arts and writing?
In the Battle of Jingnan back then, the emperor seized the Great Ming Dynasty from Emperor Jianwen in the name of Qing Junzi's justice. But everyone in the world didn't know that Qing Junzi was just a cover, and seizing the world was the real thing.
From then on, the emperor dealt with the old officials of the Jianwen Dynasty extremely severely.
Later, he changed his appearance to be kind-hearted and governed the world.
But in the emperor's mind, how could he not know the people's evaluation of him?
As for other things, the Emperor can tolerate them as long as he can. But even if you don’t reflect the meaning of the four words “Shi Chu Wu Ming”, don’t you know how harsh it is to the Emperor’s ears?
A fool like you still wants to start a war and become famous all over the world through war? You, alas!
Li An couldn't help but sigh for the other party.
"The general's words are wrong. I mean exactly the opposite. Far from disobeying the holy will, I support the emperor's decision. Didn't the emperor say that this report was sent by the purple-robed captain before a full-scale attack on the Japanese pirates?
In this case, let's wait for the final news about the purple-clad captain. If this group of Japanese pirates are really assigned by the Ryukyu Kingdom to invade our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty's iron hoof will crush the entire Ryukyu Kingdom and promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.
Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?"
Li An retorted sonorously and forcefully.
The expression on Ming Chengzu's face changed several times in an instant.
Shichu Wuming said something that he hated so much, but someone dared to say it, and said it in front of him in the Jinluan Palace.
I want to get angry, but I can't find a reason to get angry.
Although the military attache annoyed himself, his purpose was just to refute Li An and support his decision.
In the final analysis, it is just vulgar people saying vulgar words.
On the other hand, Li An, I have already said that I want to be the leader of the army, so why are you still making excuses here?
I rule the whole world, but I don’t understand the etiquette of diplomatic relations?
What I want to show the world is my Ming Dynasty’s domineering power.
Regardless of whether the Ryukyu Kingdom's army was ordered or came privately to invade the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom should be implicated accordingly.
But Li An's words are indeed reasonable and there is nothing irrefutable.
The anger in my heart could not be directed towards him clearly.
"Shut up, everyone." Ming Chengzu yelled.
It's coming, it's finally coming, the sky is falling.
Baiguan muttered silently in his heart, lowering his head so that it was almost touching the ground.
Ming Chengzu raised his right hand and pointed at the military attache and Li An: "You are both civil and military officials, but you are so angry in the court that you still have the image of a high official?"
This sentence made Li An feel aggrieved.
I didn't argue, nor did I get red-faced. I just discussed the matter and expressed my opinion.
What's wrong with the Emperor? Can't he even hear good words now?
How did he know that the real reason Ming Chengzu was angry was because he prevented him from sending troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Just as he was about to tell the difference, Wang Changlian, the Minister of Rites next to him, gently pulled his clothes.
Full of grievance, Li An lowered his head.
Seeing that the two of them stopped arguing, Ming Chengzu turned his eyes to the others and said calmly: "What other opinions do other people have about the Ryukyu Kingdom sending troops?"
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to wait a little longer. When the news about the purple-robed captain comes back, we can discuss the matter of sending troops." Li An raised his head again.
"I know your opinion. I will ask others."
He kept a straight face and didn't even look at Li An, Mingcheng Zudao.
"Father." Zhu Gaochi folded his hands, "I think Li Shangshu is right. Our Ming Dynasty is so powerful that hundreds of dynasties have come to worship us. How can a small Ryukyu Kingdom be worthy of the reputation of our Ming Dynasty for tearing up the diplomatic agreement privately?
To attack them? If the Ryukyu Kingdom instructs the army to invade the people of the Ming Dynasty, my son is willing to accompany my father to travel to the Ryukyu Islands. But if these Japanese pirates invade the Ming Dynasty, if it is just an individual act, my father should still punish the culprits and continue to use this method to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Treat each other with courtesy. After all, the Ryukyu Kingdom is now surrendered to me, the Ming Dynasty, and pays tribute every year, just like the ministers of the Ming Dynasty."
Another military attache raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wrong. If these Japanese pirates were ordinary people, it would be inappropriate for us to send troops to Ryukyu. But since they are the army of the Ryukyu Kingdom, no matter what the reason is, the Ryukyu court has an unshirkable responsibility. I
The Ming Dynasty has a great reputation. If a small country is allowed to invade the coast without a corresponding military response, how will other countries view the Ming Dynasty? Will they think that the Ming Dynasty is just a cloth tiger in appearance and send a team?
, come to my coast to plunder supplies?"
Zhu Gaochi was a little dumbfounded by this sentence. Before he could react, the military attache spoke again.
"Since the Ryukyu Kingdom has become a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to being one of the Ming Dynasty. Since they cannot manage their own army, the Ming Dynasty has the responsibility to help them manage the army. I believe that it is urgent to send troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom."
As he spoke, the military attache looked at Ming Chengzu again: "For a surrendered country that was unable to manage its own army, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help them, and by the way, the Ryukyu Kingdom was included in the Ming Dynasty's territory, so that they would never have to worry about being unable to manage their own army.
, is also an act of benevolence and justice.”
In one sentence, Ming Chengzu was elated.
I haven't led troops to fight for several years, and now my health is getting worse day by day, and I am watching helplessly getting older. If I can incorporate the Ryukyu Kingdom into the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as my last contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
A military attache is a military attache, and he has a strong possessive desire in his heart.
It can be said that he has lived up to his preference for military attachés in recent years.
But these words struck the ears of other officials like thunder.
It is true that the Ming Dynasty was strong, but the wars that the Ming Dynasty fought for so many years were all about resisting invasion and regaining its lost territory.
This kind of flagrant war of aggression has really never happened before.
The Thousands of Years of Confucius and Mencius' teachings absolutely do not involve the strong bullying the weak.
In an instant, most officials raised their heads.
"Your Majesty, you can't." Jiang Qianxiao, the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate, crossed his fists with a worried look on his face.
"Occupying other countries, our Ming Dynasty has never done anything like this. Please Huangshan think twice." The Minister of War also whispered.
Wang Changlian, who deeply hates war and only cares about the happiness of the people, couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Ryukyu Kingdom is an island with poor resources and very little arable land. It is not worthy of the reputation of a strong bully on the Ming Dynasty.
Occupy it."
In Ming Chengzu's mind, there was only one map of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, a "complete" map in which the Ryukyu Kingdom had been incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.
These dissuasion from the officials stood in my ears for a while, and I felt uncomfortable hearing them.
"The Ming Dynasty sent troops just to help the Ryukyu Kingdom control those armies that they could not control themselves. This is not considered an invasion." Ming Chengzu said.
"This is just our wishful thinking. Not to mention whether the Ryukyu Kingdom's court agrees or not, the people of Ryukyu Kingdom will definitely resist our Ming army." Seeing that Ming Chengzu was occupied by the idea of invading Ryukyu Kingdom, Wang Changlian also began to hit the nail on the head.
.
Although these words were unpleasant, Ming Chengzu still tried his best to endure it: "The people of Ryukyu do not understand the painstaking efforts of my daimyo. When I, the Ming Dynasty, manage the army for their court and everything returns to normal, they will understand the painstaking efforts of my Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, if the Ryukyu Kingdom comes to our Ming Dynasty to help our Ming Dynasty manage the army, will your Majesty agree? Will the people of our Ming Dynasty resist?" Wang Changlian did not give in.
If you describe naked aggression as righteousness, you can deceive no one except yourself and others.
Ming Chengzu snorted coldly: "Then the Ryukyu Kingdom must have this strength."
"Okay, even if our Ming Dynasty invades Ryukyu by force, what will we do if we meet those people who resist? Should we retreat or kill? If we retreat, we might as well not go. If we kill, what's the difference between us and the Japanese pirates who are causing trouble along the coast of our Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Changlian became more and more angry as he talked, without any concern that the other party was the person at the helm of the Ming Dynasty.
"Presumptuous." Ming Chengzu opened his eyes angrily and slapped the table with his palm.
