The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Ministry of War,

The duty room was so full of officials that I couldn't even put a foot in.

British Duke Zhang Mao pressed him and asked: "What do you civil servants mean? To fight or not to fight? Just give me a happy word, there are still four days, and I still haven't given the military order!"

"Master Chai, there are more than 300 gentry who bought national bonds. We have spent all our wealth. What do you mean by your majesty?!"

"As officials, we strive for the country's foundation. Don't blame us for impeachment!"

Officials from the Six Ministries who bought national debt angrily criticized the government.

The imperial court announced that troops would be dispatched after April, but within a few days, even military pay was not allocated.

Even if military pay is allocated, food and grass are purchased, and the troops are organized, it will still take half a month.

The imperial court had no intention of sending troops at all.

The status of a military attache is not as good as that of a civilian official, but Zhang Mao is not afraid of the Minister of War: "Chai Sheng! Please give my father-in-law a happy word!"

Chai Sheng had a confused look on his face: "I am also a victim, and I don't know."

"Everyone, if His Majesty does not issue an order, how dare the Ministry of War mobilize the capital camp? We should wait for the imperial court's order!"

Zhang Mao snorted coldly, fearing that these dog-like civil servants would say the same thing.

The six ministers could probably guess that the imperial court had no intention of sending troops.

The thought that His Majesty, as the Emperor, deceived them out of money was like a Mount Tai weighing on their chests, making people breathless.

"Tomorrow, all the princes will go to Fengtian Palace together to ask for orders to send out troops!"

I don't know which civil servant shouted.

The officials kneeling down to admonish the palace gates is a tactic that will only be used as a last resort.

But now, His Majesty has taken money from them and the gentry, but has nowhere to complain. This is the last resort.

Early in the morning, Yan Mansion.

Yan Chengjin got up to run, wearing a silk tights underneath to reduce bone wear.

Li Qing'e helped him count and said: "Fifty laps, sir, it's time to go to court."

"Let the water bathe you."

It was June, and the capital was a bit sultry. After running a few laps, water could be squeezed out of my clothes.

Li Qing'e stopped talking and said: "My lord, Mrs. Zhu invited me to go to a temple outside the city to fulfill my vows. I was accompanied by Mrs. Yang of Xie Mansion and Mrs. Zhang of Liu Mansion..."

Knowing that her husband didn't like her leaving the house, he asked.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. Li Qing'e was born in a poor family and was not taken seriously at all.

After becoming a third-grade lady, she entered the circle of famous ladies in the capital.

"Let's go shopping in the capital. You haven't petitioned, so how can you repay your petition? Besides, my husband is worried about you leaving the city."

The system has just been restructured, and these two days are the peak period to be wary of assassinations. The safest way is to stay in the capital.

Li Qing'e nodded happily: "Yes."

Yan Chengjin put on the unicorn uniform given by the emperor, chose a blue sedan, and entered the palace for duty.

Today, it's a little strange.

The officials who closed the door on the left and right could count them with both hands.

Looking back at Zheng Qian, Yan Chengjin asked suspiciously: "Have a rest today?"

"Hundred officials went to Fengtian Palace to kneel down to remonstrate. Rumor has it that the imperial court does not plan to dispatch the capital camp."

Yan Chengjin looked at the six departments, and even Chai Sheng and Wei Shen were missing.

Zhu Houzhao walked over with a displeased look on his face and looked at Yan Chengjin: "I heard that my father actually changed his order and did not plan to send troops?"

"Your Highness, please don't get involved in this matter."

If Zhu Houzhao's loudspeaker were to reach the outside of the palace, His Majesty's sage persona would collapse in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a guard ran across the Jinshui Bridge in a hurry.

"Stop!" Zhu Houzhao caught the guard at a very fast speed, just like catching a thief.

The imperial guard was about to curse angrily, who dares to intercept the military report? Don't die!

But when he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was almost scared to death: "Your Highness, this is a military report, you can't steal it!"

"What I am robbing is the military newspaper!"

Zhu Houzhao snatched it away, opened the seal, and looked at it carefully.

Liu Jianfei was about to explode with anger. He just saw Zhu Houzhao appearing here and pretended not to see it.

But Zhu Houzhao dared to intercept military reports. This... this was really lawless.

"Your Highness! Don't mess around, lest you delay the fight."

Han Wen also frowned. The prince was really shameless. He dared to intercept military reports in front of them.

"Military planes must not be leaked. Except for the Ministry of War, no one else can read the urgent report from the Nine Sides. Your Highness must return it to the guards immediately!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone and he said happily: "Wang Shouren's class has returned to the court! There are countless gold and silver, jewelry, and hundreds of carriages filled with them!"

Han Wen said hurriedly: "Your Highness, let me have a look?"

"Military reports can only be read by the Ministry of War." Zhu Houzhao said.

Han Wen was so angry that his chest heaved and he gasped for air. If it were his son, he would have been beaten to death with one punch.

General Li Dongyang took the report and took a closer look: "

The minister Wang Shouren played,

Governing the body and governing the country are all based on the same principle, but fate is not always the same. Those who are good will get it, and those who are not good will lose what the sages have said. The Annan royal family is neither virtuous nor has done anything for the people. It violently plunders and etiquette. The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the fact that the fate of the Anli Kingdom was approaching. I followed your Majesty's order to conquer Annan. As the so-called people who obey the destiny of heaven will definitely win, I lived up to the emperor's order and conquered Annan with great victory! ………”

Yan Chengjin was determined, Wang Shouren did not disappoint him.

However, Li Dongyang looked excited, with tears in his eyes, obviously stained by Wang Shouren's pen and ink.

The Ming envoys were beheaded, Pang Wei was beheaded, and the Ming army was defeated.

So what?

In the end, Ming Dynasty destroyed Annan.

"Mr. Li, let me go and report to Your Majesty quickly. There is no need to send the Beijing camp!"

At this time, Fengtian Palace.

A group of ministers were kneeling outside the palace gate. British Duke Zhang Mao was kneeling at the front, followed by Chai Sheng and Wei Shen.

The low-ranking civil servants knelt on the stone steps.

"Annan has killed our envoys and commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. How can we not send troops to conquer?!"

They shouted "Da Ming" on their lips, but in their hearts they were thinking about the five thousand taels of silver they spent on buying national bonds.

If you can't do it openly, why can't you do it secretly?

In the main hall,

Emperor Hongzhi was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The emperor issued an order to deceive people first, and all the officials took advantage of it, but he was still furious: "Five thousand taels of silver is a lot, but I have already paid them interest, what else do they want!"

Xiao Jing lowered his head, Your Majesty, the interest you pay is the same as the interest paid by the company.

What the gentry wants is the property of the Annan royal family!

"I thought it would be better to just let them make trouble and disperse when they run out of energy."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and thought to himself that sending troops from Beijing would be a waste of money.

But the prestige of the royal family is more important!

"Let them all come in."

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran out to deliver the order.

Soon, the British Duke led a group of civil servants into the hall.

Chai Sheng and Wei Shen bowed.

"Since Your Majesty has issued a decree to divide Annan's property, even if you return the full amount of silver, you will be breaking the trust of the gentry, so it is better to send troops!"

"I sincerely request the imperial court to send troops to Annan!"

All officials responded.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and shouted helplessly: "According to my decree, the British Duke led an army of 200,000 to send troops to Annan!"

"Slow down! Your Majesty, wait a moment..."

An old and hasty voice came into the hall.

The officials turned around and saw Liu Jian holding up the hem of his clothes in a hurry and rushing up the imperial steps.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian followed closely behind.

Even the prince came.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to send troops!"

"Wang Shouren has transported the belongings of the Annan royal family back to the capital. Gold, silver, jewelry, and hundreds of grain trucks will arrive in the capital today. Your Majesty has issued an order to let the gentry share the money!"

The eyes of all the officials lit up. The day they originally planned to send troops was won like this?

Zhang Mao's face was frozen, Wang Shouren must be a monster...

Good morning everyone, the temperature has dropped in the past two days. Please keep warm. Finally, I would like to ask for a vote~
