Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 460: The imperial court issued an edict to gather the wise men, and officials from the six ministries entered the palace

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright in the imperial study. He was an emperor who had experienced countless storms and fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

His majesty seemed to be carved into his bones by time with a knife and an axe, and anyone who saw him would have to bow down in front of him.

But the news that just came in was like a bolt from the blue, causing Zhu Yuanzhang's heart to tremble violently.

However, in a moment, the panic that flashed in his eyes when he first heard it was quickly replaced by coldness and majesty.

It was like a surging tide that was about to reach the shore, but was forced back by a powerful force.

However, his slightly trembling fingers and unconsciously clenched fists still revealed the turbulent waves surging in his heart at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear idea in his mind: what did war horses mean to the Ming army?

It is not just a beast that can run on four legs, it is the key to charging into battle and defeating the enemy on the battlefield.

It is also a powerful weapon to protect the Ming Dynasty, and it is the confidence that allows the Ming Dynasty’s military flag to fly high on the border!

Now that such a serious incident had happened to the warhorse, it had undoubtedly torn a fatal hole in the Ming Dynasty's military defense line.

This opening is like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open in the dark night, which may swallow up the peace of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

This is by no means a trivial matter; it concerns the destiny of the Ming Dynasty!

"Bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, then stood up suddenly.

The dragon throne behind him was hit with great force, and it made a heart-wrenching sound as it rubbed against the ground, as if it was also wailing for this sudden change.

The sound was particularly harsh in the silent and depressing imperial study.

He walked to the window in a few steps and pushed it open with force.

The whistling morning breeze, wrapped in the chill of winter, cut across Zhu Yuanzhang's face like a knife.

But even so, it couldn't dispel the heavy haze in his heart.

The sky outside the palace became increasingly gloomy, with lead-gray clouds hanging heavily over the imperial city.

It was as if God had accumulated a lot of anger that was about to collapse at any time.

Crush everything in this world in this endless darkness.

The strong wind raged like a naughty child, blowing up the dust and dead leaves on the ground.

It was spinning in the air, making a shrill "woooo" sound.

It was as if the souls of those who died unjustly were crying out for something, adding a sense of depression and uneasiness to the surroundings.

The palace wall in the distance looked even taller and more majestic under the gloomy sky.

But those cold bricks and stones reveal a sense of powerlessness.

It seemed as if it was trembling in the face of this unknown disaster, and all its former majesty had been suppressed by this gloom and disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone come!"

The eunuch chief Wu Cheng hurried in, trotting all the way, his steps a little unsteady. After entering the room, he bowed and waited on the side.

Wu Cheng's figure seemed particularly frail in the slightly dim imperial study, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

I saw him with his head down, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Wu Cheng knew very well in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang must be furious at this moment.

I must not make any mistakes at all. If I am not careful, I will lose my head.

"Hurry up and pass on my order. Summon all the ministers to the palace. We must thoroughly investigate the cause of the warhorse's accident today.

If there is any delay, severe punishment will be imposed! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, almost a roar, echoed in the imperial study, and the voice was full of unquestionable determination.

But if you listen carefully, you can hardly conceal the anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.

Just like a tiger trapped in a cage, it is powerful but full of worries.

Wu Cheng hurriedly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it right away." After that, he retreated in a hurry, wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked, turned around and hurried to convey the order.

After receiving the imperial edict, officials from the six ministries all rushed to the Fengtian Palace in a hurry.

Everyone along the way had different expressions, but solemnity and worry were all written on their faces.

On the avenue outside the palace, the originally smooth stone road now seemed to become bumpy.

The strong wind brought sand and stones, which kept hitting the faces of civil and military officials, causing them to feel painful.

Many people covered their faces with their sleeves while cursing the horrible weather under their breath.

The trees on the street were blown all over the place.

The dead branches creaked in the wind, as if they could not bear the weight and would break at any time.

The "crunching" sound makes people feel uneasy.

Some shops closed their doors early, leaving only a few closed windows.

A little dim light shone through the gap, which seemed particularly weak in the day with howling winds.

It seems like the only warmth left in this world, but it may be swallowed up by darkness at any time.

Just like the war horse crisis that the Ming Dynasty is facing at this moment, it makes people feel uneasy.

In less than half an hour, all the ministers gathered in the Fengtian Hall.

All of them had faces as solemn as lead, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their foreheads.

But no one dared to raise their hand to wipe it, for fear of accidentally bringing bad luck.

The entire Fengtian Hall was shrouded in a suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere.

It felt like there was a huge rock, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

The candlelight in the hall flickered in the wind, and the light and shadows danced on everyone's faces, reflecting expressions of anxiety, worry, or fear.

It was like a group of trapped animals struggling in the dark, disturbed by this sudden change, but without a clue what to do.

The tall dome of the Fengtian Hall cast huge shadows under the dim candlelight.

It loomed over the heads of the officials from the six ministries like an invisible mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.

The coiled dragon pillars in the hall usually look solemn and dignified, but at this moment they exude a cold and oppressive feeling.

The carved dragon patterns seemed to be glaring, examining the people below, making people feel fearful.

It seemed that the dragon would pounce on him if he gave him the wrong look.

Liang Yexian, the Minister of the Imperial Household, was the first to step out, his brows furrowed.

The wrinkles between his brows were so deep that they seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death. It was obvious that he was extremely worried.

Liang Yesian's eyes were full of worry at this moment, and there was deep self-blame and anxiety in his eyes.

His steps were a little unsteady, as if every step was carrying a heavy burden.

Liang Yexian walked to the center of the hall with difficulty, then bowed slightly and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I, Liang Yexian, kowtow to the emperor.

I am fully aware of the importance of war horses to the Ming army. During my daily patrols, I never dare to slack off!

But now this kind of situation happens repeatedly, which is really too strange.

It's also my fault that I'm incompetent and failed to detect and take precautions in advance.

As soon as I heard the news, I became extremely anxious.

After much thought, I feel that this matter must be reported to Your Majesty.

This major matter concerning horse politics cannot be delayed, and I hope Your Majesty will make a wise decision!
If we delay any further, the combat effectiveness of our Ming army will be in jeopardy!"

After saying this, Liang Yexian secretly raised his eyes and looked at Jin Wang Zhu Gang who was standing beside him.

His eyes showed both worry about the war horse and a hint of anticipation.
