Chapter 689: Humiliation Letter

The rest of the Yezheng Hall are all veterans of the state.
As soon as Pang Yukun's words fell, everyone looked towards Xiao Ming. King Yong and King Huainan contributed to the smooth victory this time.
At this time, Pang Yukun's proposal to withdraw the military power of the prince made the generals a little surprised. Most of them were straightforward. This time, the king of Yong had nothing to do with them.
It's just that they cannot participate in government affairs as generals. After all, this is the iron law set by Xiao Ming for the army.
"Pang Shoufu, I know that you are dedicated to your country, but sometimes haste is not enough. The affairs of King Yong are royal affairs. I will solve them 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 of cutting the feudal clan. For him, the feudal clan of the Great Yu Kingdom is immortal, and the country is only one. Day is not peaceful.
After prevaricating this matter, Xiao Ming stood up and said: "I see the merits of all of you on the Western Expedition. I have drawn up a list of awards, and I will read it personally in a few days. This matter."
Lu Fei and the other generals were overjoyed. They were a bit worried about Niu Ben just now, and they were relieved immediately when Xiao Ming said that.
Having said this, Xiao Ming was about to leave, when Niu Ben suddenly said, "The emperor, there will be one more thing to do at the end."
"Say."
"The Mo Jiang received a report from Thunder as soon as he returned to Qingzhou. According to Lei Ming, the frequency of appearance of barbarian scouts in the past two days was much higher than in the past, and the barbarian scouts even sent a letter to Shanhaiguan at night." Niu Ben The look became a little angry.
"The barbarians are now withdrawing troops from Goryeo to concentrate on dealing with the Great Yu Kingdom. After all, we have taken King Liang and King Zhao one after another in a thunderous manner. This completely disrupted their plan and prevented them from taking advantage of the opportunity. "
Thinking of the letter Niu Ben said, he asked, "What letter?"
Niu Ben seemed a little hard to speak, so he said with difficulty: "The emperor, I dare not say anything."
"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' expressions were also very strange. After hesitating, Niu Ben took out a cloth strip full of words from his arms.
"The barbarian scout said this was requested by their Khan to pass it on to the emperor." Niu Ben presented the strip to Xiao Ming.
Picking up the cloth, Xiao Ming took a look, and his chest was almost burst in anger. He threw the cloth strip out and cursed: "The barbarians are cheap, comparable to livestock, and I'm sure to let them die."
Pang Yukun was a little puzzled. He picked up the cloth strip and glanced at it, only to see that it read: "Da Yu, a humble country, from the emperor to the Limin but not the rat, it is not brave to seize the city by the danger of the city. How dare you claim to go to the country? Don’t call yourself the emperor to Ben Khan, so as not to fight together and kill you!"
"It's really arrogant, the emperor, the minister is willing to send troops with General Niu Ben to fight against the barbarians."
Pang Yukun trembled with anger, and Xiao Ming's position in his heart was special. Anyone who dared to humiliate Xiao Ming in front of him would fight him desperately.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ming said: "This is a trick of the barbarians, in order to provoke me and let me attack the grasslands rashly. This kind of trick has been encountered by the emperor. For decades, this barbarian is still Did not grow."
Pang Yukun sighed and said, "The incompetent ministers have caused the emperor to suffer such humiliation."
Although Xiao Ming was angry, he knew that the impulse was the devil. The more the barbarians were unscrupulous, the more proof that the barbarians were anxious now.
Only unconfident enemies will use this kind of indiscriminate means, and for him who is gradually gaining the upper hand, he only needs to wait for the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.
"You Aiqing don’t have to blame yourself. Gou Li’s country is already alive and dead. Why don’t you avoid it because of misfortune and good luck? I am so wronged by this. I only hope that you can work with me to rejuvenate the great Yu country and bring the insult of today to others. Go back."
When he said this, Xiao Ming had a magnificent appearance.
Pang Yukun showed shame when he saw this, he suddenly knelt down and said to Xiao Ming: "The emperor, the minister is guilty."
"What does Pang Shoufu mean?" Xiao Ming was puzzled.
Pang Yukun cried loudly, "Since the emperor became the king, the selfishness of the ministers has flourished every day. For their own benefit, the ministers have constantly rejected the old ministers of Chang'an, and used their own people in the appointment of officials. The government decree ignores the benefits of this country, such as all sorts of crimes, the minister deserves ten thousand deaths."
"Gou Liguo is dead, why don't you avoid it because of good or bad luck!" Pang Yukun said. When Xiao Ming said this sentence in a righteous manner, a feeling he had forgotten for a long time stirred in his heart. This sentence is not Is it exactly what he once pursued? But now his eyes are blinded by interests, completely ignoring his original aspirations.
Not only Pang Yukun, but also the generals in the Palace of Councillors bowed their heads in shame. Lu Fei said: "The emperor, the end general is also guilty. In the past, the end general was fighting for the country and the people. Now he is fighting for his military merits. The end general is really ashamed. "
"The final general is also guilty."
"The final general is also guilty."
"..."
The generals knelt down behind Pang Yukun one by one.
Xiao Ming was stunned. What worries him most these days is the change in the mentality of these people. Sometimes in court he saw Pang Yukun as if he was going to be a replica of Fiji.
His original purpose of reusing Fiji was not to check and balance Pang Yukun, but to stabilize the wealthy family and the old officials. It was just that Pang Yukun’s performance made him more and more disappointed, and he had two hands to prepare ~ EbookFREE.me~ After all, he least wanted to see it. The only thing is that the officials they trained are eventually assimilated.
"A person who is not a sage can have no faults, and a sage can change, and there is nothing good." Xiao Ming smiled. He still remembers what Pang Yukun said to him five years ago. He is willing to go through fire and water for the country. "As long as Pang Shoufu can help me vigorously in the future. That's it."
Today, his words made Pang Yukun realise that it was something he did not expect.
However, he has always only looked at the curative effect and not the advertisement. If Pang Yukun and the officials and generals tied their hearts to him again, it would be great.
Because for him he does not need the reformists, nor the conservatives, because no matter who wins, the court will be controlled by one party.
For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Eunuch Party fell, and 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, "The emperor, the minister is here to make a military order. In the future, if the minister confuses the emperor's reforms for his own benefit, the minister will take off the government and go home to farm."
