Chapter 285

Zhu Qiyu was furious at this scene. When it's good, these ministers don't behave like this. They are eager to show their ability, that they can be entrusted with important tasks and do great things.

But now when something goes wrong, it involves life and death. Everyone has the same attitude and can hide. I really don't know what I can do by relying on such ministers in the future.

"Yi Shangshu, tell me, now that the Japanese army has violated the border, what is the Ministry of war going to do?" that is, no one took the initiative to stand up, Zhu Qiyu simply began to call the roll. The first one to be named is the Ministry of war Shangshu Yiming.

As soon as it happened, the herald knelt to the ground, Yiming put his head low and became an ostrich. I don't look up and others don't pay attention to me. But now, he was named by Zhu Qiyu. He knew he couldn't hide. He could only raise his head and said helplessly, "emperor, after several wars, the Ministry of war has no good soldiers available, and it's busy to form a new army for a while. He really doesn't have the strength to do things."

"Waste!" in his anger, Zhu Qiyu didn't take care of each other's face and got angry. "Other Aiqing? Is there a suitable candidate to recommend?"

The emperor is angry. Other people's ministers are afraid to avoid it. At this moment, who dares to answer? Is there anything to ask for? So when asked, it turned out to be quiet.

"Why? We don't have a suitable candidate. Can't we fight in person?" Zhu Qiyu stood up from the Dragon chair and said with boundless anger in his voice.

"Ministers are incompetent." seeing the emperor's anger, all the ministers fell to their knees and felt remorse.

But everyone knelt down. There was one person who didn't kneel. He was the one who always gave advice on major events. Xu Youzhen, the left waiter of the Ministry of punishment. "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."

Seeing that only Xu Youzhen stood up, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were also full of hope, "Xu Aiqing, what's the candidate to choose? Tell me quickly."

"What I recommend is Yang Chendong, the loyal and courageous public." Xu Youzhen said breathlessly, calming the excited Zhu Qiyu with his calmness.

"Loyal and courageous?" Zhu Qiyu looked expectant and breathed a cool breath.

I just reprimanded Yang Chendong and asked him to apologize to the Japanese envoy in exchange for Yang Chendong's resistance. For this reason, Hu Chen has just arranged to reprimand the other party twice to save face and emphasize his imperial power, but now he needs to help. Isn't he wrong and slapping himself?

At the thought of it, if you don't order Dong Chunhua to scold Yang Chendong, you can blame the other party for the war. After all, it's true that you smashed the gate of the Japanese envoy's yard. But now that you have scolded others, doesn't it mean that you have been punished? In addition, the practice of the capital against Zhongdan Gong these days, He also said that Japan is a friendly country. What will it do to you? And all this is slapping yourself in the face?

When Zhu Qiyu was still reflecting, "minister seconded." after Xu Youzhen recommended Yang Chendong, Wang Zhi, the Minister of household, immediately stood up and expressed his position. At the same time, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of punishment can't help looking at him differently. He found that this person can always make amazing actions at critical times.

For example, when the warla army arrived, he recommended Yang Chendong. Facts have proved that his approach is correct. In wartime, the first person who thought of loyalty and courage was this person, but when it came to peace, it was also this person who always bothered Yang Chendong. He suddenly couldn't see through.

"The minister also seconded. The relationship between Zhongdan Gong and mercenaries is excellent. Once you can ask him to fight, it must be that the Japanese samurai will recover the Warsaw cavalry and be defeated by one blow." Hu Pei, the Minister of rites, also stood up at this time, not only seconded, but also expressed his own point of view.

A Zuo Shilang and two ministers recommended Yang Chendong at the same time, which made Zhu Qiyu's face more ugly. He also knew in his heart that if Yang Chendong was used, the matter of Tianjin Wei must be solved, but the man's contribution was too great. If he was given a chance, how would he be rewarded after the war? Up to now, the other party dares to resist the order. Won't it be against the sky in the future?

No, you can't give this person another chance. His eyes deliberately avoided Xu Youzhen and Zhu Qiyu said in a very firm voice: "governor Shi Heng, I order you to start preparing today. Within three days, 50000 troops will be sent to Tianjin guard to clear away the national harassment. He ordered the royal guards and east hall to surround the Japanese mission immediately, detain them first, and then hand them over to the Ministry of rites."

Zhu Qiyu finally made a decision not to use Yang Chendong. Whether Shi Heng agreed or not, he made a decision directly in the name of the imperial edict.

When his Highness the imperial edict, even if Shi Heng has 11000 unwilling, he must take the order. He doesn't dare to resist the imperial edict like Yang Chendong.

A court meeting just dispersed. After Zhu Qiyu walked out of the main hall of the court hall with the eunuchs, Hu went out with the ministers without delay. Not far away, the eldest son Hu Changning came quickly, "father, but are you going to Yangjiazhuang?"

"What are you doing?" Hu Zhen asked with a suspicious expression on his face.

"Did the emperor arrange for his father to reprimand Zhongdan and let him..."

"What do you want him to do? Hehe, there's no reason to apologize to Japan for not declaring war, so Zhongdan is already innocent. Didn't you see what the emperor said? Should those Japanese envoys be handed over to the Ministry of rites to condemn? This is the emperor's position." Wang Zhizheng, the Minister of officials, walked beside Hu, and explained for him with a smile.

After hearing this argument, Hu Changning knew that he thought a little more. At present, he was embarrassed to bow his head and hug his fist and said, "I see. Thank Uncle Wang for his advice."

"You don't have to thank me. Even if the old minister doesn't say it, you can think about it clearly. Alas, it's just a righteous move to send Shi Heng with the untrained new army to deal with the Japanese samurai." Wang Zhi shook his head gently. He doesn't worry about whether Hu Changning can think about the key thing in a short time. He has a good Lao Tzu, There is another good son-in-law. He doesn't have the courage to suffer. It was Zhu Qiyu's decision not to let Yang Chendong take command, but to let Shi Heng go. It was really worrying.

"Wang Shangshu doesn't have to worry about it. Japan is just a small country and can't stir up any waves. Even if Shi Heng is trapped for a while, it may not be impossible to win the war with strong human and material resources. Besides, isn't there still a loyal and courageous public? If it's a big deal, let's take a loss first. In other words, is there still little loss for the imperial court in the past two years?" Hu Fu shook his head while stroking his beard, Obviously, he was also dissatisfied with Zhu Qiyu's decision. But I'm not so worried. After all, it's a small country in Japan, which is really difficult to put into his eyes.

"Maybe. It's unwise to send so many soldiers' lives to the battlefield just to save face." Wang Zhi didn't understand this truth, but he was still sad at the thought of what consequences would be caused, what losses would be caused, and how many people would die.

Zhu Qiyu was really trying to save face at the cost of losing the new army.

In his eyes, Yang Chen's contribution to Dongli is too great. If it is not suppressed, the consequences will be unimaginable. That is, whenever there are other methods, he will try. Even if he knows that it will pay a price, he must do so. He can't send Yang Chendong as soon as there is a war? Besides, the great Ming Dynasty, can't you even find a good commander in chief?

As soon as the morning meeting broke up, all kinds of news went by no means. It is worth mentioning that Japanese envoy Yoshida Kimura learned the news at one time.

When he first heard the news, he naturally didn't believe it. Not to mention that Japan had no intention of starting with Daming, his previous words just remembered the role of pressure. Even if the country is sending troops, it is impossible not to inform yourself. Otherwise, where will you be trapped?

"Is there any misunderstanding in this matter? Is it possible that the news in front was wrong? It was not our Japanese samurai, but others who pretended?" Yoshida Kimura asked Chi Shang, the captain of the guard who sent back the news, with a questioning expression on his face.

Seeing that the messenger was still questioning the source of the news at this time, Chi said anxiously, "Mr. Kimura, this is not the time to think about this. Someone must have come to us. The first thing now is to leave here first. In any case, they can't catch us. Then we're going to Tianjin Wei. If it's really our Japanese warriors, we'll meet them and come to the capital to let them release the rest of the mission and make compensation. If not If so, we need to find evidence and explain it to the Ming emperor. "

"Yes, yes." Kimura Yoshida nodded repeatedly after listening to Chi Shang's suggestion, "but do you still have a chance to escape here? I think there must be no time to leave by the gate?"

"Mr. Kimura, do you remember the tunnel I was asked to dig before? It was just completed last night. We can leave there so that we can be unaware of ghosts." Chi Shang's face was confident. Because he didn't know the emperor's attitude and had made some preparations for his own safety, now it's time to come in handy.

"Well, Mr. Chi, you did a good job, so let's leave." Kimura Yoshida's face showed satisfaction as soon as he heard that the tunnel had been dug.
