Chapter 232: Be sure to see him with your own eyes
"As I remember, there doesn't seem to be any new news in Qiannan lately." After listening to Xu Wei and Lu He's reply, Emperor Mingde pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
Recently, there has been some news from Qiannan, but it is similar to the past, and it is all about the impeachment of Xie Yangui.
Others asked Emperor Mingde to pass on a decree to let Xie Yangui leave Qiannan and return the position of the main general to Shen Huaiyi.
In short, there is no news favorable to Xie Yangui.
Things like this used to happen, not only Emperor Mingde was used to it, but also the courtiers.
Don't say that Xie Yan is not in Kyoto, even if she is in Kyoto and doesn't do anything, someone can find fault.
And all this is because she is a woman who can lead the troops to fight and pacify Liaobei.
"Your Majesty, the minister also remembers that there has been no big news in Qiannan recently." Wan Shangshu of the Criminal Department came out of the queue and saluted Emperor Mingde.
"Since there is no big news, why does General Ling Yu want food and soldiers?"
As soon as Wan Shangshu said this, the ministers above the court couldn't help but talk about it.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Wan Shangshu saluted Emperor Mingde again, "Please forgive your majesty, Weichen is not suspicious of General Xie, but she is in Qiannan after all."
"It is said that the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, and there are successive impeachments of her in Qiannan, which may not be groundless."
"Wan Shangshu said that he was not suspicious of General Xie, but he also said that "the general will not be subject to foreign military orders", and what else is "not groundless", don't you think it is contradictory?"
Without waiting for Emperor Mingde to speak, Jing Xiu came out of the queue, he looked at Wan Shangshu with a disgusted expression. c
"Xie Yangui used to lead the Northern Hebei Army, I don't know how many times better than those crooked melons and cracked dates in southern Qiannan, at that time her merits were high, and she didn't talk about any dissenting intentions, but now that she has gone to southern Qiannan, people have changed?"
"What's the matter? The feng shui of southern Qiannan is different from that of northern Liaoning, can it greatly change people?"
"You...... What are you talking about?" Wan Shangshu glared at Jing Xiu.
"What's that? Human words!" Jing Xiu glanced at him and saluted Emperor Mingde, "Please forgive your majesty for the rudeness of the minister just now."
"The minister thinks that although Xie Yangui is vulgar and unliterate, and relying on His Majesty's grace, she often looks at no one and is annoying, but she has led the Northern Hebei Army to defeat the Liao people several times, and she is somewhat capable militarily."
"Since Qiannan once rushed back to the DPRK for help for 800 miles, it means that the situation in Qiannan is far more serious than we thought."
"What's more, Qiannan suffered a disaster, this is a well-known thing, even if there is no war, it is not spring yet, so many mouths are waiting for food, there is nothing wrong with Qiannan asking for food transfer."
"As for Qiannan, I also asked for more soldiers...... The minister is a minister, I don't know much about this, Wan Shangshu is the same as the minister, and it is estimated that he is a two-five eye."
In the past, above the court, Jing Xiu often scolded people, but it is rare to be so ruthless as today.
Usually when he is like this, he is aimed at Xie Yangui in Kyoto.
"You...... You ......" Wan Shangshu was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at Jing Xiu, "Jing Shangshu, you are very wrong today."
"In the past, you picked your nose and eyes at Xie Yangui, and you looked down on her in every way, but now you are helping her speak, isn't it...... It's not you...... No, isn't it that His Royal Highness King Ning has given you any benefits?"
"You're farting!" Jing Xiu stared at him, "On the same day, Qiannan sent a military report, General Ji Zheng was injured and could not go, Your Majesty asked you and me for my opinion, then Xie Yangui was mentioned by me at that time."
"You are above the court today, and you say that she has other meanings, so what has become of me? Are you a pig's brain turned into a dog's brain? Catch whom?"
After reprimanding Wan Shangshu, Jing Xiu saluted Emperor Mingde again, "The minister is rude, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."
"Your Majesty, he ......" Wan Shangshu also saluted, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Mingde.
"Alright." His tone sounded very gentle, and he didn't seem to blame anyone, "Jing Qing has always been a straightforward person, get up."
After saying goodbye to Jing Xiu, Emperor Mingde's gaze fell on Wan Shangshu, "Wild goose
Now that I am in Qiannan, what is the situation over there, the DPRK and the Central Government really can't know immediately, Wan Qing, what you just said is really inappropriate."
"The minister is guilty." Where did Wan Shangshu dare to refute, and hurriedly saluted again.
"Get up." Emperor Mingde raised his hand, "Since Qiannan has sent eight hundred li urgently, the household department will prepare food and various military materials to send to Qiannan as soon as possible."
"As for the increase, where do you think the envoys should be dispatched?" Dajing has its own border passes in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, with the border passes on the north and south sides being the most important.
In the past, if there was a need to transfer troops, they were all from the east and the west, and this time is no exception.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to transfer some soldiers from the southeast and southwest directions and send them to southern Qiannan." Lu He was the first to speak.
"The minister thinks what Lu Shangshu said is very true."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
The ministers saluted Emperor Mingde one after another.
"In this case, according to what Lu Qing said, transfer troops from the southeast and southwest, as for how much to send, Lu Qing decides." Emperor Mingde nodded.
Lu He frowned slightly, then stretched out, and saluted the monarch above, "Minister, Lu He obeys the order."
The early dynasty dispersed, Emperor Mingde left from the main hall, and the courtiers went to the outside of the palace in pairs and threes.
Wan Shangshu walked not far from Jing Xiu's side, and his gaze fell on him gloomily.
Jing Xiu turned her head to look at him, ignored him, and continued to walk forward slowly.
Lu He was not far behind the two, and Xu Wei was beside him, "How many soldiers does Lu Shangshu plan to dispatch?"
The household department has to prepare various military funds, but it is not necessary to include the soldiers who have been dispatched, but it is also necessary to be prepared.
"The stakes are too high for me to think about." Lu He did not hide it.
For Emperor Mingde to be like this, he had some doubts in his heart.
The matter of increasing the tone is not a trivial matter, and it should be decided by His Majesty, so why would he let him watch it?
Lu He's heart had a faint feeling of indescribability, and he thought that he had to be more cautious recently.
"It really needs to be cautious." Xu Wei nodded, "In that case, then I'll go back and look at the arrangement first, and then ask Lu Shangshu."
Lu He arched his hand and said goodbye to Xu Wei.

Peng Hai followed Emperor Mingde and walked slowly.
After the next dynasty, Emperor Mingde did not return to Lingyun Palace, he walked along the road of the small garden as if walking, not knowing where to go.
"Your Majesty, if it's still cold today, take care of your body." In the past, he would ask Emperor Mingde if he wanted to go to Qifeng Palace, but now the situation is different.
"Above the court today, Wan Shangshu talked about King Ning, and Shu also remembered him, saying that on Chinese New Year's Eve, it seems that he did not see Lao Qi enter the palace?"
didn't answer Peng Hai's words, Emperor Mingde's eyes fell on the flowers and trees in the small garden, and his tone was careless.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ning has been sick, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he sent someone to ask for guilt, so he did not enter the palace." Peng Hai replied respectfully.
"Still sick?" Emperor Mingde still said in a light tone, "In this case, you go in person, bring the imperial doctor, and be sure to see him with your own eyes."
