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

Chapter 461: Storms Rise in the Court, Wild Fairy Steals a Glance at Zhu Gang

The chilly breath of winter seemed to seep in through the heavy door of the Fengtian Palace.

The already depressing atmosphere in the hall was made even colder, just like the bleak and lonely feeling of "no birds flying in the thousands of mountains, no people walking on the thousands of paths".

The wind was howling outside the hall, like an out-of-control beast with its fangs and claws bared.

The wind blew the branches of the tall pine and cypress trees outside the hall violently, making a rustling sound.

It seemed as if it was sobbing softly, or as if it was wailing in advance for the serious issue that was about to unfold.

The sky in Shangyuan County was getting darker and darker.

The lead-gray clouds piled up layer upon layer, like heavy mountains, almost pressing down on the roof of the temple.

It gives people a feeling of suffocation and oppression, and the whole world is shrouded in an ominous haze.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Fengtian Hall was as solemn as a block of solidified lead.

Liang Yexian, the Minister of the Imperial Household, stared at Zhu Gang with a look like a drowning man seeing his last life-saving straw.

His eyes were full of anxiety, and he was hoping that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin would stand up and say something useful.

After all, the current problem is really tricky, like a tangled mess that cannot be sorted out.

If Zhu Gang could come up with a good plan to deal with it, perhaps this critical situation could be turned around.

This scene reminded several old ministers present of the allusion of "trying everything possible to cure an illness in desperation", but no one wanted to say it out loud at the moment.

Zhu Gang stood there, frowning slightly.

His mind was as clear as a mirror, so how could he not understand Liang Yexian's thoughts.

But Zhu Gang was also in a dilemma. This matter was really too tricky.

For a while, he really couldn't come up with a comprehensive idea.

Zhu Gang coughed lightly and was about to open his mouth to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he thought that now was not the time for him to speak rashly.

It would be bad if I didn't hit the point.

So Zhu Gang swallowed back the words that were about to come to his throat and just nodded slightly at Liang Yesian, as a response to the other's eyes full of help.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the dragon throne, was like a tiger ready to pounce.

Although he did not make any movement, he exuded a frightening majesty.

Coming from a humble background, he worked his way up from being a hungry cowherd.

After going through countless wars and power struggles, he finally ascended the throne and established the vast empire of the Ming Dynasty.

Because he knew that this country was not easy to come by, Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to every matter concerning the foundation of the country.

At this moment, the problem with the warhorse was like a thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, making him extremely anxious. ?
The candlelight in the hall flickered under the attack of the cold wind.

The flickering light and shadow reflected on Zhu Yuanzhang's weather-beaten face.

This made his expression look even more serious and stern.

Zhu Yuanzhang was seen leaning forward, his hands tightly grasping the handrails like pliers.

The knuckles had turned white from the force, as if with a little more force, the armrest could be crushed to pieces.

His eyes, sharp as lightning, swept over the ministers.

It was as if that gaze could turn into a tangible sharp arrow, piercing through everyone's minds in an instant.

When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them like this, many ministers lowered their heads unconsciously and dared not even breathe.

The entire Fengtian Hall was so quiet that the only sound was the nervous heartbeats of the people.

This scene is somewhat similar to the one described in the allusion of "silent as a cicada in chilling cold".

Everyone was afraid of the dragon's might and did not dare to act rashly.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and spoke in a serious tone that made people tremble. He shouted, "It's already this late, why are you still standing there?

Don’t you have any idea what condition our Ming Dynasty’s war horses have become now?
What is going on? Have you figured it out?

Is it that when we were trading with those nomadic peoples, the other party played tricks on us and deliberately exchanged our good horses for inferior horses?
Or perhaps during the process of purchasing and transporting horses within the Ming Dynasty, something went wrong in the feeding and transportation links.

The originally vigorous and agile warhorse was made weak and its fighting capacity decreased?
You guys have to figure this out?

This matter concerns the survival of our Ming army. How can the army fight without good war horses?

This concerns the stability of our Ming Dynasty!

When we conquered the world back then, we relied on those brave and fearless cavalry.

Only then could they fight their way out of those chaotic times and establish the Ming Dynasty of today.

These war horses are like the limbs and brothers of our Ming Dynasty. Now that their limbs and brothers are in trouble, you are still so slow.

If we can’t come up with a useful solution today, we’ll just have to ask you guys!”

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger reminded the officials of the six ministries of the allusion that "when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are buried."

I feel that this matter is more and more serious and dare not slack off in the slightest.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished saying this, his eyes fell on Liang Yexian.

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, mixed with a hint of blame.

It was as if he was weighing in his mind whether the Minister of the Imperial Household, who was in charge of the Ming Dynasty's horse breeding and deployment affairs, had fulfilled his duties.

Liang Yesian felt frightened when he saw this.

He felt his legs go weak and he quickly lowered his head even deeper.

At this moment, Liang Yexian wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. How could he dare to look Zhu Yuanzhang in the eye?

This look is exactly the state of "not daring to sweat", and the fear is fully revealed.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes for Liang Yexian. He entrusted him with important tasks because he valued his unique insights and experience in horse management.

But now that this situation has happened, I am naturally angry and anxious.

He hoped that Liang Yesian would really take responsibility and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang always clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments when employing people.

If Liang Yexian can make amends for his mistakes, people will naturally look at him differently.

But if he really neglected his duties, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let him off easily.

This is his usual style of doing things, like a clear mirror hanging high in the sky.

No matter right or wrong, nothing can escape Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

At this moment, Duke of Wei Xu Da stood up.

He first bowed respectfully, then said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think we should first send someone to the Datong Horse Farm to check it out carefully.

After all, that's where the incident happened!

Maybe when we get there, we can find some clues and find the key clues."

As Xu Da spoke, he glanced outside the hall.

I saw that the strong wind was still howling, blowing the branches outside the temple to sway.

Several thinner branches were actually broken and fell to the ground with a "crack", as if this bad weather was yet another demonstration against everyone.

The dark clouds seemed to be gathering strength and ready to pour down at any time.

Let this already dim world fall into deeper darkness.

It makes people feel uneasy just by looking at it, and they feel that there is an ominous aura about this matter.
