The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 326 The Emperor Can't Play Like This

As soon as Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, heard that the emperor had mentioned Jia Min, he knew that he could not escape.

Now, he regretted that he had arranged Jia Min to Bu Kui.

At the beginning, it was just because there was no one else, so Jia Min was temporarily arrested to go to the pit.

Because Jia Min is young and has just trained in the army, he has little experience in the army.He didn't know anything about the army or Bu Kui's situation, so he was able to coax him there.

If it had been someone else, he would have asked someone to intercede, and would have turned down this drudgery.

I thought that Jia Min would fend for himself when he got there, but unexpectedly, he met this unwilling person who was always trying to make some noise.

Previously, he asked for reinforcements of 3 horses, but he rejected them.Later, I told him to keep his own place and not let him start a war lightly. Unexpectedly, he just refused to listen.In the end, they fought with the prairie cavalry.

In today's Dade Dynasty, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the military equipment is relaxed.The army lacks training and its combat effectiveness is extremely poor.

For grassland cavalry, they are as fearful as tigers.As long as the grassland cavalry is mentioned, including military officers at all levels, they will be timid before fighting.

Therefore, for some grassland forces in the northeast, northwest and north, the main focus is to appease them.

Now that Jia Min provoked a conflict with the Wendula Grassland without authorization, in the eyes of the courtiers, it was really unwise.

Others may be able to stand by and watch, but the Ministry of War cannot stay out of this dispute.The mess left by Jia Min will have to be cleaned up by the Ministry of War sooner or later.

If it's just a military issue, it's okay, one day earlier, one day later, it's not a big problem.

The problem is that there are nearly [-] exiles from Bu Kui.If the prairie cavalry released those exiles, the world would be in chaos.

If something goes wrong with these exiles, there will be a lot of excitement in the future, and the final responsibility will have to be pushed to the Ministry of War.At that time, it will not only be a matter of Jia Minge's investigation and handling, even Li Yuan will be held accountable for improper employment and lax control.

Now, the imperial envoy Jiang Mingqian has proposed the impeachment of Jia Min, which shows that the situation of Bu Kui has reached the point where it cannot be controlled.

After making this judgment, Li Yuan made up his mind.

Sure enough, the emperor asked him again.

"Military Department, what do you think of Bu Kui's situation?"

Anyway, isn't that obvious?
"Returning to the emperor, I believe that Bu Kui's situation is very critical, and we should seek contingency measures as soon as possible."

"Well, tell me in detail."

"First, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. There are [-] iron cavalry in the South Wendula Grassland. This is just a conventional force. If they mobilize more, they can mobilize at least [-] troops."

"Those prairie people grew up on horseback since they were young. They are proficient in bowing horses and have strong fighting power. They are really extremely powerful opponents."

"On the other hand, we only have more than [-] people. First of all, we are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers."

"Secondly, Jia Min's army regiment has only been established for one year. It has never conducted decent training, let alone experienced battle."

"As far as Jia Min himself is concerned, he is still young and has no actual combat experience. At the beginning, I arranged for him to be stationed in Bukui, and he was originally asked to station there to guard the exiles."

"If he keeps himself safe and fulfills his duties, there are more than 700 people, and there are more than enough guards and exiles. It's just that he didn't listen to the admonition, so rejoicing, he went to war with the four tribes without authorization, which would definitely bring disaster."

"Therefore, I agree with Jiang Shilang's opinion and investigate Jia Mingge's post as soon as possible."

"From what you can see, Jia Min has no chance of winning the battle with the four major tribes?"

"No chance."

"What if he wins by chance?"

"It's impossible."

"You all see it that way too?"

Emperor Yuanheng turned to the others.

"Yes, there is no chance of winning."

"It's impossible."

"Jia Ming's resignation should be investigated as soon as possible, so as not to harm the country and the people."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Bu Kui is in danger. Only by investigating Jia Ming's dismissal can the people be saved."

Seeing that Li Yuan said so, everyone believed that Jiang Mingqian's words were correct. At this time, they didn't care about the wall being pushed down by everyone.

"Master Ji, what do you think?"

Emperor Yuanheng ignored everyone and asked about Ji Mingluan again.

Although Ji Mingluan is qualified to be in the court class, he is now responsible for the promotion of Chinese Pinyin and the compilation of "Yuanheng Dictionary", and he is no longer directly involved in daily government affairs.

Although he went to court every day, it was just a routine.

Among these people, when it comes to understanding Jia Min, probably no one has a more detailed understanding than him.

Even so, he didn't think Jia Min had any chance of winning in the war against the four tribes.

Therefore, in his correspondence with Jia Min, he also often told Jia Min not to be overjoyed and act rashly.

In his opinion, Jia Min is only 16 years old now, and he has the following labels from the capital of the third rank, Wu Jinshi, Yijia Tanhua, head of the military regiment, poetry genius, business genius, and Rong Guogong.

If it is to achieve something in the official career, even if there is no achievement in Bukui, after staying for a few years, with this qualification, he will naturally be promoted.At that time, he was only in his twenties, and it can be said that he had a bright future ahead.There is no need to take risks at all.

Ji Mingluan supported Jia Min's reform on exile affairs.

This kind of reform is backed by the power of the yamen, and Jia Min has a good way of making money, so it is still possible to improve the living environment of exiles.

In this respect, it is easier to make political achievements, and the risk is also small.Obtaining political achievements will naturally also help in promotion.

On the military front, however, the stakes are much greater.What's more, the enemy is strong but not weak, so we should only defend ourselves.It is unwise to take risks on your own initiative.

However, Ji Mingluan can't understand the fact that everyone is talking about it and making trouble one after another.

At the same time, he also had doubts about the emperor bringing this matter up today and discussing it with great fanfare.

Ordinarily, there is such a thing, the emperor only needs to ask someone to check it.If Jia Min really caused a big defeat in Bu Kui because of his actions, then he can deal with it in this way, and there is no need to spend so much time talking.

Therefore, Ji Mingluan wondered if there was something hidden in it.

In his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope for Jia Min.He felt that someone as smart as Jia Min should not do stupid things by himself.

Besides, Jia Min treated him with respect as a teacher, and if he had the opportunity to speak at this time, if he didn't say a few words for Jia Min, he would feel sorry for Jia Min.

"Returning to the emperor, the minister's opinion is different from that of your lords."

"I have some friendship with Jia Min, and I don't shy away from this. Based on what I know about Jia Min, Jia Min is not a person who takes risks."

"Although Jia Min is young, he is not a person who is greedy for profit. He often does things after planning. Many times, the more seemingly impossible things are, the more he can do them."

"Jia Min was successful at a young age, but everything he did was done in a down-to-earth manner. He was not a man who wasted his name in vain and was so happy with his achievements. Therefore, I wonder if there is something hidden in Jiang Shilang's impeachment?"

"In Jiang Shilang's notes, there is no mention that Bu Kui has fallen. So far, there is no other news to prove that Bu Kui has fallen. Therefore, I think that it is not a top priority to investigate Jia Ming's post. You may as well investigate further. If Jia Ming If there is really dereliction of duty, it will not be too late to investigate and deal with it.”

"Master Ji, do you really think so?"

"Go back to the emperor, I will take it seriously."

Whether it’s true or not, I’ve said it all, if I still say it’s not true, wouldn’t it be slapping my own mouth?

If I go all out, I will bet on it once. Even if I lose, I will have a clear conscience when I see Huaiyuan in the future.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingluan felt relieved.

"The one discussed just now was the first one written by Jiang Mingqian. After this one, he wrote another one. This time, he and Jia Min jointly wrote it. This one is another story. I also confused them. Xia Bingzhong, please read it to all the lovers."

What?There is another discount?Why don't you take it out together?This excerpt is still in the back, or another story.

What's the meaning?Does that mean it's different from what I said before?Since Jiang Mingqian wanted to impeach Jia Min, why did he join forces with him?

Something is wrong, there must be something famous here.Could it be that Jia Min won the battle?
How can it be?

Xia Bingzhong was reading on the other side, and everyone on the other side was straining their ears, for fear that they might miss a single word.

Naturally, this was a joint performance by Jia Min and Jiang Mingqian, and the content was naturally about Bu Kui's victory and the reform of exile affairs.

Although there is a lot of content, people quickly summed up the most critical points.

Jia Min has already used 700 men to completely defeat the [-] grassland cavalry of the four major tribes.

The four major tribes have all surrendered and handed over a total of 70 years of tribute to 62 taels of cash, which will be sent to the imperial capital by the imperial envoy Jiang Mingqian.

In the next step, three prefectures and eighteen counties can be established in the South Vendura Grassland.

The previous memorial to the impeachment of Jia Min was just a trick to confuse the four tribes...

"All my loves, please have a discussion."

Discuss?Last time we discussed it for a long time, but it turned out to be an oolong, how can we discuss it this time?
Hubu Shangshu: Why do I say that all the money for disaster relief is ready to come out?
Minister of the Ministry of Officials: Why am I so impatient, insisting that all the donated officials have been arranged?
Minister of the Ministry of Justice: Jiang Mingqian, you bastard, why didn't you tell me about these things first?It's no reason to call me here to embarrass myself.

Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry: Fortunately, I didn't add insult to injury. It seems that it is better to be kind.

Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: Jia Min, you bastard, how did you do it, why didn't you tell me, and tell me how to behave in the future?

Ji Mingluan: As expected, Huaiyuan did not disappoint me, God helped me too.

Immediately, everyone had a common thought.

Jiang Mingqian, you bastard, how can you confuse the four tribes? Isn't this purely to confuse us?

Does the emperor really not understand?How is it possible, he was fishing, we were all fooled.

Your Majesty, you can't play like this!
