Chapter 382: Black December

The matter of the Ministry of Rites' squire writing to the official and requesting his resignation and returning to his hometown quickly caused a shock in the government and the opposition, but the most shocking thing was not this incident.

Before resigning, Jian Yi completed the last part of his job in the position of secretary of the ministry: the appointment and dismissal of three positions and a total of five officials.

The first one, Yeen.

Ye En is nothing special, whether it is his background or resume, it is normal, if he has to say that it is abnormal, it may only be the identity of the ram student.

However, Ye En is still very special in this official appointment and dismissal, because he is the only one who has not replaced anyone.

The position of the secretary of the criminal department has been vacant since the Yongle period, and many people have held it during this period, but it has not been for a long time.

In the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, fourteenth, twentieth, and twenty-second years of Yongle, there were all appointments and dismissals of the secretary of the criminal department, and there were as many as seven people who served as the secretary of the criminal department during this period.

Even, as one of the six departments, the position of the secretary of the criminal department was vacant from the twentieth to the twenty-first year of Yongle, and in the twenty-second year, Jin Chun served as the secretary of the criminal department, but was relieved in the first year of Hongxi.

This time, Ye En was promoted, but he didn't replace anyone, but the other two positions were different.

Fang Bin, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, resigned and returned to his hometown, and was served by Yu Qian, the left attendant of the Ministry of War.

Song Li, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, resigned and returned to his hometown, and Xing Kuan, the champion of the Jiachen Branch in the 22nd year of Yongle, served as the leader.

Yu Qian has nothing to say, now he is already recognized as a person of King Wu's lineage, because what he did at the beginning was also made public with the death of Sanyang and others.

Of course, it was not announced by the imperial court, and no one knows who it was.

The person who really has a saying is Xing Kuan.

Xing Kuan, the champion of the Jiachen Branch in the twenty-second year of Yongle, has nothing special about his background and resume, the only special thing is that he has a son named Xing Kun.

Now Zhu Zhanyan, the son of the Han Dynasty, is a member of the guard.

But the matter is far more than that, after completing his last job as the secretary of the ministry, Qianyi resigned and returned to his hometown, and the post of secretary of the ministry was handed over to Chen Xun, who is now a cabinet scholar.

It wasn't until they saw the name Chen Xun that people suddenly realized that Da Ming had already changed the sky unconsciously.

In the current Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Zhanji has not appeared in front of people for more than a year due to physical reasons, and the power of administration has been handed over to the cabinet and the six ministries, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is in charge of the jade seal and makes the final decision.

However, the current cabinet chief assistant is Chen Xun, the household department of the six departments of the Ming Dynasty is Xia Yuanji, the Ministry of Rites is Hu Hu, the Ministry of Officials is Chen Xun, the Ministry of War is Yu Qian, the Ministry of Industry is Xing Kuan, and the Criminal Department is Ye En.

Looking at it this way, from the cabinet to the six ministries, all of them are already supporters of King Wu's lineage, and Ye En is not very sure.

However, being able to go up against the wind at this outlet and become the secretary of the Criminal Department, no one believes it if there is no reason.

Besides, in the Yongle Dynasty, the appointment and dismissal of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department can be said to be more ordinary than eating, even if he is promoted now, it is not a particularly surprising thing to be dismissed tomorrow.

All of a sudden, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and everyone was in danger, and they were all afraid that King Wu was making a big move.

However, there may be countless people whose fate is much more tragic than theirs.

Black Sea, Kaffa.

Many people had never heard of this place, and Zhu Zhanyan had never heard of it before he came, and he only knew about it after he arrived.

It's a great place to stay because it's a pass that jams the only exit from the Sea of Azov into the Black Sea.

"Your Royal Highness, we really want to ......"

Looking at the Sea of Azov in front of him, and then at Zhu Zhanqi in front of him, Zhu Sanfeng subconsciously spoke.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan turned his head with a little strangeness.

Seeing this, Zhu Sanfeng also knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

In fact, it is hard to imagine that Zhu Sanfeng, who was once rumored to be the female demon in the Timurid Empire, relented at this time.

All this because of ......

Seeing Zhu Sanfeng with his head down, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, Zhu Zhan Yan smiled silently.

It didn't matter, he didn't care.

With a wave of his hand, the guards around him, who were already obviously not quite right, immediately turned around and walked towards the back.

"Hmm......" Zhu Zhanyan stretched his waist widely, but before he could retract his movements, he opened his eyes in surprise.

It's snowing.

"It's snowing...... Will this Sea of Azov freeze? It stands to reason that it won't be......"

"But...... It doesn't matter......"

Looking at the Sea of Azov in front of him, the expression on Zhu Zhanyan's face gradually became cold.

In the past, Zhu Zhanyan didn't have any idea, but now, he knew that the blood of 120,000 people was enough to stain the red from the coastline to a full range of 600 meters.

Turning around suddenly, Zhu Zhanyan walked away.

As he was leaving, he threw down an order.

"Send someone to tell Alipu that this is not enough, and let him take Sarai for me before the end of the month!"

……

Kemplonge, Kingdom of Hungary.

Sigismund never imagined that one day he would face such a dilemma, and the pope in front of him never imagined that one day his popularity among the people would fall to such a situation.

In just a month and a half, more than sixteen cities were looted and slaughtered and burned, while the crusaders of the Holy See gained nothing, which is unacceptable.

Similarly, Sigismund, who was about to succeed the Holy Roman Emperor, could not accept it.

If they can't stop the offensive of the Ming army, the two of them, one may fall from the altar, and the other may lose the Holy Roman Empire throne at his fingertips.

"What to do!? What to do!? ”

The Pope slammed the table in a hurry, his eyes bloodshot with anger.

"Sixteen cities! More than 100,000 civilians! They're even more demonic than demons! ”

"Do you know what the untouchables are talking about? Say that we insult the doctrine! It is not God that we worship, but Satan! That's why Satan's legions of hell are coming to earth! ”

"Shut up!" Sigismund slammed the table, causing the already angry Pope to be instantly quiet.

Pope, Middle Ages.

The combination of these two terms gives people the impression that it was an era when the Holy See was covering the sky with one hand, but in fact, it was only for ordinary civilians.

The Holy See, which controls the common people through faith, is God's voice for the common people, but for the powerful, the Holy See is just a tool.

The Pope, who is supreme in the eyes of the common people, is no less a dog in the eyes of people like Sigismund.

Since he was elected king of the Roman people, the pope has sent him more than twenty nuns in order to bring his papal state deep into the Holy Roman Empire.

However, now is not the time to turn the other cheek, at least ...... We'll have to wait until the problem is resolved.

"Now anger is useless, God does not hear your anger, and will not punish this army from hell."

"Instead of being angry, let's think about how to spend November, which is called black by the common people."

"If we can't do that, those legions from hell will go up the Danube, and then you and I will not only lose our rights and vassals, but also our lives."

"Then you won't think about anger, but about how to explain it to your God!"
