After Liu Bowen's words fell, the entire court was silent, and it was silent. See. Wool, Chinese net

"No, the Li family has been loyal and good for generations, how dare they turn their backs on me?"

It was a long time before one of the courtiers spoke weakly.

"Yes, if Li Tianming dares to resist the Ming Dynasty, it will simply be a shame for the ancestors of the Li family. ”

"That's right, I'll take a big fight, the northwest is just a chicken, a dog, and it's vulnerable. ”

As if they got a signal, those ministers who came back to their senses spoke one after another, all of them were enemies of the Ming Dynasty who made the northwest.

"Bastard, come on, pull down these rebels who don't distinguish between right and wrong, and put them in a prison, and they can't be released without His Majesty's order. ”

Liu Bowen can be said to be the person who knows Li Tianming the most in the Ming court, and after hearing the words of these people, he was simply laughed at angrily, and directly crossed Zhu Zhanji and ordered.

"Why do you want to lock me up, Liu Bowen, you are the prime minister in vain. ”

"Liu Bowen, Your Majesty is still here, you dare to talk nonsense, it's a big rebellion!"

"I think you must have been bought by Li Tianming's child, otherwise why would you help the northwest to kill the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Liu Bowen gave the order, those palace soldiers naturally stepped forward to arrest the officials named by Liu Bowen.

Those officials were naturally unwilling to become wasters, and opened their mouths one after another, hoping to pull Liu Bowen into the water.

"That's enough, take these idiots who can't see the situation clearly, I don't want to see them again!"

Zhu Zhanji, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, he was not a stupid person, and naturally knew that what these people proposed was not for Daming at all, but more for himself. Therefore, I agree with Liu Bowen in my heart, and there are some things that I have just ascended the throne that are not suitable for doing, but Liu Bowen has gone through five dynasties, but he does not have so many scruples. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net

But although he agreed with Liu Bowen in his heart, Zhu Zhanji also became jealous of Liu Bowen's prestige.

In a word, the palace soldiers who were originally loyal to the royal family took action one after another, which made Zhu Zhanji feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, whether it is for the sake of justification or the interests of mobile phones, at this time, my Ming Dynasty and the Northwest are sharing weal and woe, please Your Majesty order to cooperate with the Northwest to declare war with Wara! After all, Warat is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is just this opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Bowen didn't know that his actions would make Zhu Zhanji have ideas, but after decades of dedication to the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen had already deeply regarded himself as closely related to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, even if he knew that he would offend Zhu Zhanji, for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for Liu Bowen not to speak.

"There's no need to declare war, after all, Warat has only offended the northwest, and it's hard to say what happened right or wrong. ”

Zhu Zhanji said hesitantly.

Zhu Zhanji is naturally convinced of Liu Bowen's resourcefulness, but it is obvious that the northwest provoked it, and there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to stand up for the northwest.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the truth of the matter is, if you don't want to lose the three northwestern provinces, you must declare war on Warat!"

Liu Bowen respectfully saluted Zhu Zhanji and said firmly.

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is very true. The three northwestern provinces are the front line against the Waratartary and the Western Regions, and there is no room for error. ”

"It is Taizu's national policy to list the northwest as the fief of the Li family, and in the past few decades, several generations of loyal martyrs of the Li family have died in the northwest battle, which shows Taizu's foresight. Northwest, don't lose it, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget, there is still a Harlie Empire in the far west that is no less than the Ming Dynasty. ”

Sanyang and the people who really understood in the court, after Liu Bowen hit those soft bones, finally found an opportunity to speak, and stood up one after another, and said to Zhu Zhanji.

Although these words are to prove his sense of existence, they are also heartfelt words, and everything is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty.

"I hold the list of people in my hand, but I still have to bow my head to an ordinary man?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at the ministers who came out of the list fiercely, and said reluctantly.

"This, Your Majesty, the number of people on the list is limited, and it is not omnipotent. In Yichen's opinion, Li Tianming probably didn't need it. Moreover, at this time, it is not just for the northwest, with my Ming tens of millions of troops and the northwest is enough to make Wara bow his head, so it is an excellent time to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Liu Bowen knew that blindly working against the emperor would never end well, so after refuting Zhu Zhanji, he said from a different angle.

"Prime Minister, are you sure that Warat will bow his head because of this?"

Zhu Zhanji really moved, but he still had a breath in his heart.

"In the steppe, Warat not only has the feud of the Tatars, but also the Western Haret Empire. If I face the attack of my Ming Dynasty again, I am afraid that I can only perish in history. The minister had seen the king of Warat, and he was not such an unwise man, so there was an eighty or ninety percent chance that Warat would be succumbed to it. ”

Liu Bowen patiently analyzed for Zhu Zhanji.

He had met with Li Tianming, the lord of the northwest, and knew that the strength of Li Tianming in front of him was definitely not something that the Ming could resist, so he desperately found a reason to speak for Li Tianming.

Of course, this is on the premise that Li Tianming did not harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise even if he paid a big price, Liu Bowen would have to eliminate the Weiwang Mansion.

In order to achieve his goal, Liu Bowen did not hesitate to consult countless materials that had been shelved.

Daming has been collecting this information, but no one has ever compiled it for it.

Therefore, after Liu Bowen proposed it, many ministers still seemed a little confused.

Only the cabinet Sanyang really realized Liu Bowen's ultimate goal, and they echoed it one after another.

"Your Majesty, since Li Tianming Xiao'er dares to shout, he must have enough back-ups, and with his understanding of Li Tianming, he is by no means a person who talks nonsense. ”

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is very true. Warat has been peeking at my Great Ming artifact, and this time it is just the right time to teach it a lesson. ”

"My Ming Dynasty has been the kingdom of the Celestial Empire since ancient times, how can we allow Warat to provoke, only by completely exterminating it, can future generations not leave trouble. ”

After Liu Bowen and Sanyang's statement, the rest of the officials also stood up and echoed their majesty, for fear that they would be dragged out of the palace as a model if they were slow and like a few people just now.

"Well, in that case, Prime Minister, you will declare war on Warat on behalf of the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that the originally noisy and disagreeing voices below were gradually unified by Liu Bowen, Zhu Zhanji also lost all interest.

Not to mention challenging Liu Bowen's authority, he can only follow him if he has a stable foothold at the moment.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Zhanji said such a thing. After saying this, Zhu Zhanji left the hall directly regardless of the faces of the others.

"This, Prime Minister?"

San Yang looked at each other, and finally Yang Shiqi stood up, looked at Liu Bowen and asked.

"This matter is on behalf of the imperial court, and the three of you represent the cabinet, so stamp it, and finally give it to the emperor to seal, the emperor is not an unreasonable person, and he will not refuse. ”

Liu Bowen said after a moment of silence.
