Chapter 26: Victory and Admonition

The war ended quickly, from beginning to end, and in only two months, Yan Shizhao had already won the victory, and the class returned to the court.

After all, after the addition of the cavalry, the military strength of the Ming army had overwhelmed the Dzungar department, so the battle process was still very smooth.

Although the other party is brave and has combat experience beyond the Ming army, it is not advantageous in terms of numbers, morale and many other aspects, especially when they face Yan Shizhao, who has defeated the Tatars and was rumored to be miraculous on the grassland, has not yet started fighting, and he is already three points weaker first.

The fetters were even more courageous, charging ahead, fighting to the death with the cavalry of the Dzungar department, and the large army behind followed the advance, and in the middle of the month, its main force had been broken, several important gathering points were breached, their leaders were seriously wounded, and several affiliated tribes were beaten to pieces.

The strongest Dzungar tribe of the Warat Department at this time quickly declined after this battle, losing tens of thousands of troops, and the affiliated tribes were even scattered, falling from the strongest tribe in Warat to the bottom of the four main tribes of Warat in one fell swoop.

With the decline of the Dzungar tribe, they naturally had no ability to continue to occupy the most vast and fertile grassland on the steppe, and they were torn off a large piece of territory by the other three tribes, but then, the rest of the tribes fought for the grassland, and disputes broke out again on the grassland.

The strategic goal can be said to have been achieved completely, even exceededly.

And Zhu Changxun also held a court meeting the next day of Yan Shizhao's class.

In fact, Emperor Wuxing was not very keen on holding court meetings in previous years. When the freshness of the emperor passed, after realizing the fatigue of the early dynasty, the enthusiasm of the previous dynasty faded, especially when Yan Chenhao was in charge later, this dynasty would be even more meaningless, so although it was not like Wanli that could not meet once in decades, it was not very open.

However, since Shousuke was forced to go offline a few months, the court meetings have become much more frequent, so the ministers are not surprised, and they also have many speculations about the purpose of this court meeting.

By this time, most of the ministers had already arrived, lined up in two groups, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

And among these people, a figure in a gorgeous robe is the most eye-catching.

There was a python with teeth and claws on the robe, which was very similar to the emperor's dragon robe, except that it was missing a claw, and it did not have the meaning of the supreme, but even so, it made the eyes of the surrounding ministers hot.

With a sword at his waist, he stood in front of all the ministers without squinting, and the apex of the generals was Yan Shizhao, who had returned from the Northern Expedition!

The royal python robe is given, and the sword is on the temple!

Although it is said that with the change of customs, the Ming Dynasty now implements the "imperial gate to listen to the government", and the officials will no longer take off their shoes, but they can wear a sword to the palace, which still represents the emperor's trust and great glory.

Many ministers cast envious glances at the front of the team, this is the ultimate of human ministers, more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there have never been a few who can have this honor.

It's the Yan family, who took up both of them in one go.

Isn't that enviable?

Just when everyone's eyes were hot, with the eunuch's chanting, Zhu Changxun came to his place.

The pilgrimage began.

At this time, the emperor's face was full of spring breeze, he looked at Yan Shizhao who was standing in front of the nobles with a smile, and said with a smile:

"Chen Guogong attacked Warat in the north this time, hit Dzungaria hard, made the northerners dare not go south and herd horses, made the northland disputed and difficult to unify, and even promoted the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, so that the guests from all over the world were subdued, this is a great contribution to the society!"

"It is worthy of being a famous general of my dynasty and a descendant of King Jingping! Such a feat, such as the Liang Guogong to drive the remnants of the Yuan in the north, and the British Gongnan to the Pingjiaozhi, are all miraculous feats of the world! ”

The emperor's words of praise resounded in the air, making the ministers present even more envious in their eyes, and they were also a little surprised.

This time is of course a big victory, but to be honest, not to mention that this result is much worse than that of Lan Yu and Zhang Fu, even Yan Shizhao himself and the once dazzling Tatar army that was once dazzling.

After all, the two sides of the battle are not of the same magnitude, after the addition of a large force of fetters and cavalry, the Ming army has a greater advantage, and the Dzungar Department is only one of the four major tribes of Warat.

On that side, the emperor is announcing all kinds of rewards for Yan Shizhao, including but not limited to gold, silver and jewelry, praise and worship, canonization of his wife, etc., which can be said to be extremely glorious, and below, the courtiers also have different ideas.

Li Ruhua's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already guessed the emperor's thoughts.

Because Yan Chenhao opposed sending troops.

Although in the end he also compromised and agreed to Yan Shizhao to lead the army to the expedition, but in the final analysis, it was the emperor's resolute request that there would be such an ending.

Through the mouth of the palace people, this matter has been known to most officials in the court.

At this time, the more the results and strategic position of this great victory are raised, the more the emperor's wisdom and the stupidity of the first assistant can be shown.

The emperor is calculating, but he just wants to get his wish?

The corners of Li Ruhua's mouth were raised, and at the same time, a voice sounded behind him:

"The success of this battle is excellent, but it is also due to the proper command of Chen Guogong, and the proper use of the first assistant so that the treasury is full, and it must not be a convention, if it is a poor soldier, it is difficult to win often. Your Majesty should take Han Wu as a warning, follow the example of Renxuan Erzong, and rule the world with peace, which is the right way. ”

The sound resounded throughout the court meeting, making many people look sideways.

At this time, Yan Shizhao had just stepped back, and the smile on the emperor's face had not faded before he had already been slapped on the head by this person.

This is one of the thirteen supervising imperial histories, his face is old-fashioned, his body is thin, and at first glance he is a pedant loyal to Confucianism, and he stands up and admonishes at this time.

Zhu Changxun's face sank suddenly, and the other party's words were very harsh, as if to tell him that this big victory relied on Chen Guogong's ability, and the capital accumulated by Yan Shoufu had nothing to do with you!

And directly cut off his idea of taking this as an example for him to continue to go on the expedition in the future.

His mood instantly fell to the bottom, and a wave of anger rose and occupied his heart. He was originally elated, thinking that he had made great achievements, but when the other party said this, the sense of disparity suddenly made him angry.

Especially at this time, Zhu Changxun was still in a sensitive period, and this imperial history jumped out now, as if he was deliberately against him, which reminded him of Yan Chenhao, and his heart was even more unhappy.

In his mind, the shadow of Taizu Hong Wuye suddenly flashed, he remembered that when the Hongwu Dynasty, the emperor said nothing and the ministers obeyed.

He remembered again that before, he wanted to restore the Hongwu system to punish corrupt officials, but was stopped by Yan Chenhao.

Could it be that he was afraid of something?

Zhu Changxun's mind turned, and he had already made a decision.

He shouted angrily:

"How daring! According to you, don't I have any effect? Could it be that I am a mediocre ruler who does nothing? Are you slandering me? What's more, Taizu Taizong also used soldiers in the grassland, is it possible that he can't be a saint? What kind of intentions do you have? ”

"Such nonsense, how can I keep you! Someone comes, strip him of his official robes, and throw him into prison! ”

Several Han generals immediately stepped forward, obeyed the emperor's order, pressed the old man to the ground, and directly took the officials down from him!

And at this time, this imperial history, his eyes were completely surprised and stunned, he just wanted to remind the emperor not to indulge in the use of soldiers, but he didn't expect to be directly buttoned up by the emperor's big hat, and he was going to prison!

You must know that the Thirteen Dao Inspectors are subordinate to the Speech Officials, and this is their own job! Every time he found that the emperor was too concerned about the war, someone would stand up and say a few words to prevent the other party from indulging in martial arts, which had almost become a common practice, and even Emperor Wuzong Zhengde back then, although he was unhappy, did not treat them well.

What I didn't expect was that this Emperor Wuxing would directly punish him like this!
