The Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned, the blood from his whole body poured over his head and face, watching the handkerchief fall on his face, and then slid to the ground.
It can be said that this was the first time facing the stern face of the Supreme Emperor after he became the throne. He was a little at a loss. Looking at Yu Wenhao, Yu Wenhao also paled, knowing that his father would definitely anger him, so he knelt down first. Pleaded guilty for the emperor, "The emperor's grandfather calm down!"
The Supreme Emperor said indifferently: "I am lonely, and your father is not upset. It is common for a son to be slapped by his father. Ask him, is it so? No matter how old the son is, as long as he is not happy when he is a father. You can still slap him a few times, regardless of whether he is the prince or the emperor."
When the Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, he knew that his father had come out on behalf of Yu Wenhao, and his face changed immediately.
"Is it so?" The Supreme Emperor looked at him and asked directly.
Emperor Ming Yuan said softly: "The son is convicted!"
"When you were the prince, did Gu beat you for any reason? You were at fault. Most of them were reprimanding you, but did you do anything?"
"No!" Emperor Ming Yuan shook his head with a pale face.
"Do you know why?"
Emperor Ming Yuan lowered his eyes, "Father wants to save face for his sons and ministers."
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, "It's good to know, you can get started at every turn, where did he be the prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty? How can a hundred officials surrender to him?"
The Emperor of Ming and Yuan confided: "Erchen knew that he was wrong."
"Look at you in the past, you can be worthy of you. If you have such a sensible and capable son, you will be content."
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at Shoufu and Xiaoyao. The two old men turned their heads immediately when they couldn't hear them. He lowered his voice and said, "Father, don't say anything. My son knows it is wrong. Someone is there. "
"Then why didn't you say that someone was there when you beat the fifth child?" The Supreme Emperor hummed.
Yu Wenhao didn't feel happy at all, because he knew that the emperor would definitely settle accounts after the autumn, so he also helped persuade, "Grandfather, grandson is sometimes confused, and the emperor can wake up with a fight."
The Emperor Ming Yuan saw his son help to talk about Xiang, and glanced at him with a warm expression.
The Supreme Emperor didn’t intend to say nothing about him unwillingly, so he raised his hand and said, “I’ll forget about it. When it comes to business, the emperor, I just ask you, do you really think there is no need to adjust the policy towards North Desert? The people of Beimo have been sending grain and grass to the border in an endless stream. They are going to fight."
The Emperor Ming Yuan had just been told by the Supreme Emperor. At this time, most of his vigor has been lost. When it comes to business, he can't get his momentum. He said, "It's just that most of the officials in the DPRK and Central Committee do not advocate war."
"What is the situation, you can analyze and analyze with the ministers. These years, I don’t care about the affairs of the DPRK, but there is a bottom line. The country cannot give up an inch. After the last defeat, the people of North Desert are now determined to make a comeback. Yes, our fertile land in Northern Tang Dynasty has been coveted by them for a hundred years. If they don't frustrate them, they will never let it go."
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a while, still insisting on what he meant, "I actually have plans and I want to send someone to negotiate."
The Supreme Emperor said coldly: "Negotiate? What conditions do you offer to negotiate? Cess the land? Give money every year?"
"This is naturally impossible."
"The North Desert people have no benefit at all. Why do you want to negotiate with us? Are you planning to send someone to persuade them to retreat? Or do you want to tell them with your mouth how powerful our military is?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "The people of Beimo should also know that it is the people of the two countries who are really fighting. I hope that the emperor of Beimo Chu can really show mercy to the people and not go to war to avoid the people's lives!"
"Absurd, the North Desert people have not understood this truth for a hundred years. You sent someone to talk about it and you can see it through? Understood? Suddenly? It's a good idea, but no matter how many people you send, a battle will be inevitable in the end. Mo is an ambitious man in power. It is impossible to persuade a hegemon to stop the occupation. I have no such capable man in Northern Tang Dynasty."
Emperor Ming Yuan did not say anything. He actually knew that the chance of sending people to peace talks was very small. However, just declaring war would do too much harm to the country. How could he be willing to plunge the country into war again
Today's achievements are the results of the Northern Tang Dynasty's kings and ministers, and decades of achievements are now destroyed by the war, and all his political achievements in power will be obliterated.
"The emperor, please listen to what the old official said!" The first assistant stepped forward and looked at Emperor Ming and Yuan firmly with his eyes. "The official believes that nowadays, we are fighting instead of declaring war. In fact, the dominant power of declaring war has always been in North Desert. We have tolerated the repeated provocations of Mo. No matter whether the minister or the civilians, we all feel that the low Beimo people have softened their bones. National strength is often reflected in the integrity of a nation. Bei Mo Why is it so scary? Is it really because of their invincible cavalry? No, it happens to be their courage at all costs and recklessness. Our retreat has strengthened their confidence and cannot retreat, the emperor, retreat. The iron cavalry of the North Desert is about to walk through the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Northern Tang Dynasty. Why is the emperor afraid? The old officials and others are still strong, and are willing to fight the North Desert for the emperor and share the worries for the Northern Tang."
In the Qiankun Hall, the door on the outside was closed. After Emperor Ming Yuan came in, he left for a full hour. Outside the Imperial Study Room, the ministers waited for a long time, and finally waited until the Emperor Ming Yuan came back. The Emperor Ming Yuan directly cancelled today’s cries. , Everyone entered the imperial study to discuss a major event.
Yu Wenhao originally wanted to persuade the Emperor to retreat, but was eventually summoned to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters concerning the battle.
There were still courtiers who opposed it, but the Ming Yuan Emperor broke the boat and stood with the prince Yu Wenhao. Although some of the opponents were not persuaded, the drum of war had already sounded.
The Beiying Army quickly gathered to fight against the North Desert. Although there was no fanfare and secretly transferred troops, there were still many people who learned the news. The North Desert had been in a state of infringement for many years and had been reluctant to retreat. Today, they are finally going to fight, and the people are inspired by it.
Duke Xiaoyao was in command, and the Supreme Emperor and Chu Shoufu were supervising the army. Under the decree, King Wei led troops to join them quickly, and an imperial decree was quickly sent to Jiangbei Prefecture, where King An was appointed, and he returned to the army quickly after receiving the decree.
Zhu Guogong Zhu Rupei (wrong written as Fang Guogong many times before, corrected here) actually asked the decree to accompany him on the expedition, and the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was enlightened.
For the first time, the Emperor of Ming and Yuan used Huaiwang in warfare, named him a money and food officer, prepared munitions and rations, and ensured that armaments were inexhaustibly supplied to the border.
Although Yu Wenhao can go to war if he has fulfilled his wish, he cannot be in command, nor can he go out with the army. There is a reward. If he goes out, he will cause disasters for the Northern Tang Army. At that time, all the masters in the army will take the head of others, sergeant. In order to save his life, he had already lost half of them before arriving at the border, so he couldn't go there even if he wanted to go.
