Chapter 693 Humiliation Letter

The rest of the government hall are all old ministers.

As soon as Pang Yukun's voice fell, everyone looked at Xiao Ming. This time, King Yong and King Huainan contributed to the smooth victory.

At this time, Pang Yukun proposed to take back the military power of the vassal king, which made the generals a little surprised. Most of them were upright and honest.

It's just that they, as generals, cannot participate in government affairs. After all, this is the iron law set by Xiao Ming for the army.

"Pang Shoufu, I know that you are dedicated to serving the country, but sometimes the haste is not enough. The matter of King Yong is a matter of the royal family, and I will solve it in a royal way." Xiao Ming said euphemistically.

Pang Yukun nodded when he heard the words. He was indeed a little anxious. After King Zhao was arrested, he was thinking about the strategy to cut down the vassal. For him, the vassal king of the Great Yu Kingdom will not be destroyed for a day, and the country will only be destroyed. Days are not peaceful.

Putting this matter aside, Xiao Ming stood up and said, "I see the credit of all of you in this Western Expedition. I have drawn up a list of awards, and I will read it out in person in the morning in a few days. this matter."

Lu Fei and the other generals were overjoyed. They were a little worried about Niuben just now. Now that Xiao Ming said this, they felt at ease.

After talking about this, Xiao Ming was about to leave when Niu Ben suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is still something to be announced at the end."

"Say."

"As soon as the last general returned to Qingzhou, he received a report from Lei Ming. According to Lei Ming, the barbarian scouts appeared much more frequently than before in the past two days, and the barbarian scouts also shot a letter into Shanhaiguan during the night." Ben's expression became a little angry.

"The barbarians are now withdrawing their troops from Goryeo to concentrate on dealing with the Great Yu Kingdom. After all, we took down King Liang and King Zhao one after another with lightning speed. This completely disrupted their plans and prevented them from taking advantage of the opportunity. "

Thinking of the letter Niu Ben said, he asked again, "What letter?"

Niu Ben seemed a little hard to tell, so he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the last general dare not say it."

"Is there anything I dare not say." Xiao Ming frowned, "When did you become such a mother-in-law?"

Not only Niu Ben, but Lu Fei and others also had very strange expressions. After hesitating for a while, Niu Ben took out a cloth strip full of words from his arms.

"The barbarian scouts said that this was what their khan asked to pass to the emperor." Niu Ben presented the cloth to Xiao Ming.

Picking up the cloth strip, Xiao Ming glanced at it, and his chest almost burst with anger. He threw the cloth strip out and cursed: "Barbarians are as cheap as livestock, and I will make them disappear into ashes."

Pang Yukun was a little puzzled. He picked up the cloth and glanced at it, and saw that it was written: "Da Yu, a humble country, from the emperor down to the people of Li, it is not heroic. Why would you dare to call yourself the upper kingdom? Why don't you call yourself the emperor to Ben Khan, so as not to fight together and kill a dog!"

"It's so arrogant, Your Majesty, this minister is willing to send troops with General Niuben to crusade against the barbarians."

Pang Yukun was trembling with anger, Xiao Ming's position in his heart was special, and anyone who dared to humiliate Xiao Ming in front of him would fight with him.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ming said, "This is a treachery of the barbarians, in order to provoke me and make me rashly attack the grasslands, this kind of trick has also been encountered by the previous emperor. After decades, the barbarians are still No growth."

Pang Yukun sighed and said, "The ministers are incompetent and let the emperor suffer such humiliation."

Although Xiao Ming was angry in his heart, he knew that impulsiveness was the devil.

Only an unconfident enemy would use this indiscriminate method, and for him, who gradually gained the upper hand, he just had to wait for the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"You loving ministers don't have to blame yourself, since the country is already dead, why do you avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune? What kind of grievance does it matter to me? I only hope that all the loving ministers can work with me to revitalize the Great Yu Kingdom, and make today's humiliation worse. They all go back."

When he said this, Xiao Ming had an air of arrogance.

Seeing this, Pang Yukun looked ashamed. He suddenly knelt down and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Majesty, this minister is guilty."

"What does Pang Shoufu mean?" Xiao Ming looked puzzled.

Pang Yukun fell to the ground and cried, "Ever since the emperor ascended to the throne, the selfishness of the ministers has been increasing day by day. For his own selfish interests, the ministers kept rejecting the old ministers of Chang'an, and used more of their own people in the appointment of officials, and even objected to the emperor's abolition of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce out of selfishness. Government decrees and ignoring the benefits to the country of Great Yu are like all kinds of things, and the offenders deserve ten thousand deaths.”

"Gou Li's country is already dead, how can it be avoided because of fortune and misfortune!" Pang Yukun said, when Xiao Ming said this sentence seriously, a feeling that he had forgotten for a long time stirred in his heart, this sentence is not Is it exactly what he was after? But now his eyes are blinded by interests, completely ignoring his original aspirations.

Not only Pang Yukun, but also the generals in the Hall of Political Affairs bowed their heads in shame, Lu Fei said: "Your Majesty, the last general is also guilty. In the past, the last general fought for the sake of the country and the people, but now he fights for the sake of military merit, and the last general is really ashamed. "

"The last commander is also guilty."

"The last commander is also guilty."

"..."

The generals knelt down behind Pang Yukun one by one.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. What worries him most these days is the change of mentality of these people. Sometimes in the courtroom, he sees Pang Yukun as if he is about to become a copy of Fiji.

His original purpose of reusing Fiji was not to check and balance Pang Yukun, but to stabilize the nobles and old ministers, but Pang Yukun's performance made him more and more disappointed, so he had two hands to prepare, after all, the last thing he wanted to see was what he cultivated. Officials were eventually assimilated.

"A person who is not a sage and a sage can have no faults, but he can improve after passing." Xiao Ming smiled, he still remembered what Pang Yukun told him five years ago, and he was willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the country, "As long as Pang Shoufu can help me with all my strength in the future. That's it."

His words today made Pang Yukun wake up, but it was something he didn't expect.

However, he has always only looked at the curative effect, not the advertisements. If Pang Yukun and the other officials and generals re-tie their hearts to him, it would be a great blessing.

Because for him he doesn't need reformists or old-fashioned ones, because no matter who the general wins, it will make the court run by one party.

For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, when the eunuch party fell, the Donglin party that came to power was equally fatal.

His ultimate goal is to let the ministers perform their duties, and there is no partisanship in the court.

Pang Yukun stood up, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this minister has issued a military order here. In the future, if this minister messes up the emperor's reforms for his own personal gain, the minister will take off this official body and go home to farm."
