Chapter 422 Already gone to conquer

After washing up and drinking the medicine, Zhu Youtang pursed his lips and waited for the bitter taste to dissipate from his mouth and then slowly dissipate. Then he walked out of the dormitory and sat down on the Danbi Dragon Chair in the main hall.

Several ministers from the Sixth Department of the Cabinet also came in from outside the palace. After paying homage, Emperor Hongzhi was about to take out the memorial. But at this moment, the sound of eunuchs trotting was heard outside the palace. Before anyone entered the palace, the sound

The message came in first, "British Announcement!"

Hearing this voice, Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, and the first thought in his mind was that there was news about the traitor.

According to time estimates, the British Duke should have led the army to the Japanese country by this time, but this report was different from ordinary reports. It was sent out at least more than ten days ago.

More than ten days ago, it was possible that he was in Japan, but it was more likely that he was in North Korea.

No matter where you are, it would be good to have news about the traitor.

It would be good to have news.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be trembling in his heart, and he didn't care about the previous memorial. He grasped the armrest of the dragon chair tightly with his hands, watched Xiao Jing hurriedly take the memorial, and suppressed the pain in his heart.

Emotionally, his face was tense, and his words were cold and trembling, "Read it, read it to me, let me hear whether that traitor died outside."

"I respectfully send my greetings to Your Majesty. On the second day of September in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, I, the Ming Dynasty, sent envoys to North Korea and conveyed the decree to let North Korea mobilize its troops. We stationed our troops at the mouth of Baijiang River to wait for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to arrive and go to the expedition together.

Japanese.

The monarchs and ministers of North Korea readily agreed to this, but when I led my officers and men to the mouth of the Baijiang River in North Korea, they found that North Korea's so-called "Chen Bing" did not have a single ship and only had more than 2,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers. I sternly questioned,

He excuses himself in every possible way, saying that his country is small and its people are tired and there are no soldiers available."

"."

When the people present heard this, they realized something was wrong. This did not seem to be news about the prince, but a memorial to impeach North Korea.

Emperor Hongzhi felt as if there was something stuck in his throat, his heart kept sinking, and he was looking forward to the memorial in his heart, but the result was this?

As the commander-in-chief, you, a British citizen, can't make your own decisions on such trivial matters?

Xiao Jing's voice continued, but at this time his face was a little frozen. Although he had not read to the end, his eyes scanned the next content, so that his hand holding the report trembled.

After a few moments, "Later, the ministers found out that the current leader of North Korea, Li Long, was insane and unconscionable. Since he came to the throne, he had repeatedly done immoral things, and he also had the intention of destroying Confucianism. He even had

The reality of destroying Confucianism."

The intention to destroy Confucianism is the reality of destroying Confucianism.

Hearing these eight words, the ministers present felt their hearts skip a beat and their expressions became solemn.

The word "annihilate Confucianism" is too powerful to be called "annihilation of Confucianism". The disaster caused by the party's imprisonment in the Han Dynasty, thousands of Confucian students were exiled and executed.

It can be called destroying Confucianism.

And what is the extermination of Confucianism in North Korea? [PS: Qin Shihuang did not trap Confucians, but alchemists, but the above is what these ministers were thinking, and they did not know. 】

"According to my information, the leader of North Korea, Li Long, converted the Sungkyun Hall in his country into a brothel, and this Sungkyun Hall is equivalent to the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea."

It was a little difficult for Xiao Jing to recite these contents. He had to pause every time he read a word. When he reached this point, he wanted to continue reciting, but he couldn't go on reciting it anyway, because the entire Qianqing Palace had already exploded. Nest.

Just like a pot of boiling hot oil meeting water, it has completely boiled.

Whether it was the three ministers in the cabinet or several members of the six ministries, everyone's anger was completely ignited, and everyone's face showed anger.

"Appalling, appalling"

"Beast!"

"Beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"

Curses were everywhere in the palace, and even a mature and prudent person could not restrain his emotions.

It has been nearly two thousand years since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. Confucianism has long since developed from an academic discipline and an idea into something similar to a religion.

In the East, Confucianism is equivalent to Christianity in the West, even more influential in terms of influence.

Christianity in the West controls both divine power and secular political power, while in the East, Confucianism completely controls all power.

Imagine if someone converted a Roman cathedral into a brothel, how would those Christians react?

Those are Christians, and these ministers are the disciples and descendants of the saints.

The Chengjun Palace, which has a status as Imperial College, was transformed into a brothel. Since the rise of Confucianism, when has it ever suffered such humiliation? This is a blatant insult to the saints and an insult to all Confucian scholars in the world.

This is worse than digging up their ancestral graves.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Ma Wensheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, shouted and knelt down: "Now the leader of North Korea is cruel and cruel, insulting the holy sect, and doing such unprecedented things. Gods and men are outraged by it, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to attack North Korea!"

The rest of the ministers seemed to have thought about it at this time, and they all knelt down and said, "Nowadays in Korea, the rules are often reversed, the jackals are in charge, the etiquette is broken, and the music is ruined. I have requested an order to raise troops to attack the unjust tyrant in order to bring order to the world."

Faced with this situation, Emperor Hongzhi on the dragon throne had not yet spoken, but Xiao Jing next to him took the lead and said: "My lords, the British Duke has sent a large army to attack."

Have you already gone on a crusade?

The hall suddenly became quiet. Emperor Hongzhi's eyes swept over the kneeling ministers, and finally looked at Xiao Jing, "The British Duke has sent a large army to attack North Korea. So, this memorial is to be executed first and then reported?"

"Yes, the memorial said that North Korea and the Ming Dynasty were blocked by mountains and seas. They were too far apart. If you ask for an order, it would take too much time to go back and forth. It might delay the war and alert the leader of North Korea, Li Long, so he made his own decisions. First send troops to conquer, and at the same time order people to return to the court to submit memorials."

"At the end of the memorial there is an apology from Marquis Changde."

"What is the apology of the Marquis of Changde?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned upon hearing this. In the memorial of the British Duke, what is the apology of the Marquis of Changde?

"Yes, it is clearly stated in the memorial that the British government did not dare to specialize. It was the Marquis of Changde who strongly advocated and made clear the interests. This is how the matter of beheading first and then memorializing came about."

Having said this, Xiao Jing paused and then said: "And looking at the handwriting on it, this memorial seems to have been written by Marquis Changde."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, "Behead first, then play." These four words can definitely touch the sensitive nerves of any emperor.

But North Korea is indeed too far apart. If you ask for an order, it will inevitably delay the fighter plane, and the foreign emperor will suffer some consequences.

And it was the son-in-law who advocated for this matter, which is understandable.

Just look at the reactions of these ministers and you will know the reaction of the son-in-law who is far away in North Korea.

"Are there other things mentioned in the memorial?" Emperor Hongzhi asked again.

Xiao Jing knew what these other things were referring to. Facing the expectant eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing could only shake his head silently and lower his head again.

Seeing this, Zhu Youtang sighed deeply and became angry again. It would be best for this traitor to die outside, he thought angrily, but his eyes were filled with anger.

After a while, he raised his body and said to the ministers: "Although this matter is suspected of being executed first and reported later, it will not be tolerated by the foreign monarch. Not to mention that North Korea is separated by mountains and seas. It takes time to request orders, and this is

It is understandable that the British Duke and the Marquis of Changde dealt with such a shocking incident."

Seeing that the emperor had already set the tone, the ministers present could not impeach anyone on this matter, not to mention that they did not want to impeach him.

Thinking about it carefully, if it was him who was accompanying the army this time, and he suddenly heard about this incident, he might not have bothered to ask for orders, and directly urged the British to attack North Korea.

After all, like them, Marquis Changde was a person who read books from sages and sages, and was a disciple of Confucianism.

This kind of thing cannot be tolerated by any Confucian disciple.
