Military division to the matter has played Chen this department illegal things, under the speech officer.
Ma Wensheng could abuse prisoners of war and make Turpan slaves.
The emperor had acquiesced to these matters. Generally speaking, the censor would not be so stubborn.
However, Huang Hua was angry because Ma Wensheng had driven the children, women, old women, and old men to Jiayu Pass to repair the Great Wall for the Ming Dynasty.
This would damage the prestige of the country.
"Can I interrupt you?”
Just as Huang Hua was speaking up for justice, Zhu Youtang spoke calmly.
Huang Hua was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with joy. He hurriedly said,"I will listen to the teachings of the Holy Word."
In his opinion, the Sage Son of Heaven should know the pros and cons.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said,"No need, I don't have any teachings."”
"Men." Zhu Youtang said to the outside of the hall,"Move the corpses of the sons in and show them to Huang."”
After a while.
The Brocade Guards carried up the corpses of the twenty border guards of the Ming Dynasty, who had died extremely tragically.
His body was broken and his armor was torn apart, and his death was tragic.
Zhu Youtang looked expressionlessly at the border guards lying on the Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Youtang wanted to commend this group of soldiers in front of the civil and military officials today.
However, it seemed like it was a little superfluous now.
"Yellow Gei, take a look."
"These are all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. Each of them has a tender face, and their age is probably not much different from mine.”
"Yellow, take a look at what's in their mouths.”
"Why don't you take a look at where the limbs of these broken bodies went?”
"Why don't you think about it again? Why are they still smiling?”
When the corpses of the soldiers were moved into the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, everyone was shocked.
Although the civil and military officials rarely participated in the battle.
But today, after witnessing the tragic scene of the battlefield, everyone held their breaths and focused.
"Do you understand?"
Zhu Youtang indifferently asked Huang Hua, who was stunned on the spot.
"It's okay. I'll tell you."
"What they have in their mouths is the flesh and blood of the Turpan people.”
"Many of their limbs were lost beyond the Great Wall.”
"The smiles on their faces are not because they defeated Turpan, but because they completed their destiny and lived in the Ming Dynasty with honor for their families.”
"This one's understanding might be a little narrow. Huang Gei, tell this one, why are they smiling?”
Huang Hua sucked in a breath of cold air and was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Youtang continued,"Five thousand limbs were exchanged for fifteen hundred li of territory that originally belonged to the Han people."”
"Hami can now march 1,500 li to the west.”
"The control of the Silk Road has once again returned to my hands.”
"Along the way, the tea and horse trade of the foreign countries will all have to look at my face.”
The guilt on Huang Hua's face deepened.
Zhu Youtang didn't criticize him, but he was like the sharpest sword stabbing straight into his heart.
He saw the disappointment in the depths of Zhu Youtang's eyes.
"When the Turpan people attacked Hami, did they show mercy to the Han children?”
"Huang Gaishi has never experienced the baptism of war, so there are some things he can't understand.”
"I will never understand why Ma Wensheng would drive all the young and old of the foreign tribes to the Jiayu Pass to build the Great Wall, nor why a Confucian official, Yang Yiqing, would have such a drastic change in temperament, killing and beating captives.”
"Go to Jiubian and support Yang Yiqing.”
Zhu Youtang didn't continue to talk to Huang Hua and turned to the Minister of Works,"
"Minister Jia."
Jia Jun, minister of the Ministry of Works, came out to listen to the announcement.
"Your Ministry of Works will send a group of craftsmen to Jiayu Pass to continue repairing the Ming Great Wall to the west.”
In the past, Great Ming did not continue to build the Great Wall westward.
Firstly, it was because the country's territory did not have the face to go beyond the pass.
Secondly, it was because the emperor did not want to waste money and manpower.
And now, all the conditions had been met.
The Ming Empire's treasury was abundant, and they had tens of thousands of captives.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"I will build an impregnable Great Wall to the west of Jiayu Pass for my emperor.”
Zhu Youtang nodded and said to the Minister of Personnel,"Minister Wang, bury the soldiers properly.”
Wang Shu, Minister of Civil Affairs, received the edict.
"Retreat."
Zhu Youtang stood up and left expressionlessly.
After the court session.
Wang Shu found Huang Hua, who was stunned in Fengtian Hall.
After some thought, he sighed and said,""Huang Gei."
"Minister Wang." Huang Hua smiled bitterly.
"Do you know that just a day ago, the Emperor asked me to retrieve all your information from the Ministry of Personnel and was preparing to send you to the southeast as the commander of the Japanese Guard?" Wang Shu said faintly.”
"If you didn't do this foolish thing today, the emperor's holy words would have been issued.”
"What a good opportunity. Just because of these few words of yours, you lost a border official who was the commander of the southeast Japanese army?”
The crowd dispersed.
The words of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Wang Shu, continued to echo in Huang Hua's mind.
Huang Hua was stunned. His cheeks twitched slightly, and a deep sense of frustration appeared on his face. Then, he knelt down in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
"This humble subject…has failed Your Majesty. This humble subject…is ashamed!”
Huang Hua's eyes were a little red and swollen, and crystal tears were swirling in them.
He had always been known for being upright and unafraid of power. At this moment, even a man made of iron began to feel a little helpless.
After a short while.
Huang Gei Shi gritted his teeth and swore to himself,""Your Majesty! This time, I will definitely not let down your kindness. I will definitely make some achievements for the nine sides to see!”
"There is still a chance. The remnants of Northern Yuan are still here. I still have a chance!!!”
……
The Cabinet.
When the Third Pavilion Elder returned to the inner court, all of them looked solemn.
When the Hall of Heaven's Tribute saw the bloody corpses of the Ming soldiers, it gave the cabinet and all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty an alarm.
Da Ming could only continue to grow stronger in order to prevent more people from sacrificing themselves.
Only by constantly strengthening the country could the four seas fear it.
These soldiers used their lives to protect the Great Ming Empire and its people.
As the cabinet, as civil and military officials, how could they not be loyal to the country?
"Elder."
The Minister of Revenue, Li Min, walked over with a solemn expression.
"What happened?" Liu Jian stood up.
Li Min looked shocked." The results of the trial run of the business tax are out. It's only been a month. Do you know how much tax Big Ming has taken from these merchants?"”
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me!" Liu Jian was impatient.”
"1,360,000 taels."
Hiss!
