Just when Zhu Di and others were celebrating their victory, Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, was very unhappy.

The 300,000 army was defeated, and the news of Sheng Yong's capture had come back, but under the good royal education for many years, Zhu Yunwen was not annoyed, calmly looked at the minister kneeling in front of him, and said lightly: "Sheng Yong is incompetent, the commander of the 300,000 army is unable to fight with the Yan army, and now Shandong is afraid that it will not be safe!" ”

Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, he strongly recommended Sheng Yong to be the commander at the beginning, but now he has suffered such a big defeat!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Yunwen just glanced at his henchman lightly, it is still useful, so naturally he can't be touched. Although he was aggrieved in his heart, he had to put on a warm look, and said with a smile: "Qi Aiqing is serious, I have learned about the history of this battle, the blame is not on you, but in the Yan army, it is too cunning!" But Sheng Yong is really too angry! ”

Qi Tai breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to have Sheng Yong to top the thunder, but he still looked sincerely frightened, took the wat board and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, although the battle losses in this battle are as high as 300,000 people, it is still not a big injury to my court, at most it is just a broken muscle, and the strength of the Yan army is still not enough to compete!" ”

Huang Zicheng, a scholar of Hallym University, is also one of Zhu Yunwen's confidants, but his views on this matter are very different from Qi Tai's, and he directly reprimanded: "It's just nonsense, now that Jinan has been lost, the Yan army is just around the corner to set foot in Shandong!" When the time comes, if you advance to the south, you will be able to stop the enemy! ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, motioned to Huang Zicheng to continue, Huang Zicheng nodded, cleared his throat and said: "At the beginning, his subordinates tried their best to ensure safety as the commander, but they let Sheng Yong do it, don't mention it, now against the Yan army, only Ping'an and other generals have fled back, and they are stationed in Lingbi, I think it is better to give Ping'an another 200,000 elites, so that he can recover Shandong in one fell swoop!" ”

Fang Xiaoru stood up at this moment, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, according to what the ministers have seen, Ping An is now just a lost dog, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this great responsibility, and the generals in the army are afraid that they will not be convinced, and the old minister will recommend one person, and he will definitely be able to recover Shandong in one fell swoop and capture King Yan alive!" ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyelids, and all the important ministers also looked at Fang Xiaoru expectantly, maybe it was the next God of War? Fang Xiaoru didn't hide it, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the commander of the Left Army Governor's Mansion Xu Huizu!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and Huang Zicheng sneered and said, "Lord Fang, doesn't you know that Zhu Di is Xu Huizu's brother-in-law?" Acting like this, I am not afraid that the 200,000 army will directly defect to the enemy!? Besides, first you recommended Li Jinglong, the guy who can only talk on paper, and buried hundreds of thousands of troops, but now, you are not ashamed! ran out again to break the imperial court's military aircraft! I think you'd better go home and do your studies! ”

The courtiers also nodded one after another, no one wanted to test Xu Huizu's loyalty with this kind of thing, Fang Xiaoru's old face was flushed, and he held back for a long time before he said tremblingly: "Scholar's opinion!" Scholar's view! The Xu family is a loyal martyr, and Xu Huizu is even more deeply rooted in the true biography of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, you are so short-sighted, you will regret it in the future! ”

Huang Zicheng flicked his sleeves, he simply ignored it, Fang Xiaoru was already very old, and seeing that he was about to breathe out of breath with a breath of old anger, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly ordered someone to send Fang Xiaoru home.

No one paid attention to Fang Xiaoru, who was full of benevolence and morality, and the court meeting had to continue, and the court meeting that had been arguing for a long time made Zhu Yunwen very bored, so he directly clapped his hands and said: "Okay, what kind of system is it to quarrel in the court?" Just do what Huang Aiqing said! Ping'an was appointed as the generalissimo of the Northern Empire, and the imperial court mobilized elites from the Gyeonggi region to replenish 200,000 people, and it was necessary to recover Shandong! If it goes on like this, the court can't afford to lose! ”

Xiao Huangmen, who was in charge of writing the holy decree on the side, directly wrote Zhu Yunwen's order, and only after showing it to Zhu Yunwen did he cover the jade seal, and then it was quickly executed, but the court meeting was not over, Zhu Yunwen glanced at the courtiers lightly, and said coldly: "Sheng Yong was captured in the battle array, and I don't know if he has surrendered to the Yan army, let's talk about it, how to deal with his family!" ”

Sheng Yong was recommended by Qi Tai, so naturally he wanted to protect him as much as possible, otherwise others would probably have opinions about him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is still uncertain whether Sheng Yong has defected to the enemy, it is better to control his family, Sheng Yong will definitely not defect if he has concerns!" ”

Huang Zicheng and others are just scholars in the end, but they can't refute it, they can't do it, they can't do it, and finally they have to agree to Qi Tai's suggestion, Zhu Yunwen is known for his benevolence and filial piety, and he is naturally a compassionate and generous person, and the matter of Sheng Yong was gently revealed.
