The rest of the government affairs hall are old officials of the country.

As soon as Pang Yukun finished speaking, everyone looked at Xiao Ming. The success of this victory was achieved, including King Yong and King Huainan.

At this time, Pang Yukun proposed to take back the military power of the vassal king, which surprised the generals. Most of them were upright, and this time, King Yong had made contributions and no mistakes.

But as generals, they cannot participate in government affairs. After all, this is the iron rule set by Xiao Ming for the army.

"Shoufu Pang, I know that you are dedicated to the country, but sometimes hasteness will not be achieved. King Yong's affairs are royal affairs, and I will solve them in the royal way." Xiao Ming said tactfully.

Pang Yukun nodded when he heard this. He was indeed a little anxious. After King Zhao was arrested, he was planning a plan to reduce the vassal state. For him, the vassal state of the Great Yu Kingdom will be destroyed for a day and the country will be in peace.

After evading this matter, Xiao Ming stood up and said, "I see the credit for you in this Western Expedition. I have already prepared a list of commendations. I will personally read the matter in the morning in a few days."

Lu Fei and other generals were delighted. They were a little worried about the matter of Niu Ben just now, and Xiao Ming said this now and they felt relieved.

After talking about this, Xiao Ming was about to leave. At this time, Niu Ben suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is still something to report to the last general."

"explain."

"As soon as he returned to Qingzhou, he received a report from Lei Ming. According to Lei Ming, the barbarian scouts appeared much more frequently than before in the past two days, and the barbarian scouts even took advantage of the night to shoot a letter into Shanhaiguan. "Niu Ben's expression became a little angry.

"The barbarians now withdraw their troops from Goryeo to concentrate on dealing with the Great Yu Kingdom. After all, we took down King Liang and King Zhao one after another with lightning speed. This completely disrupted their plans and eliminated their chances of taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits."

Thinking of the letter Niu Ben said, he asked again: "What letter?"

Niu Ben seemed a little difficult to speak, and said with difficulty: "Master, I dare not say it."

"What's there anything I dare not say?" Xiao Ming frowned, "When did you become such a mother-in-law?"

Not only Niu Ben, but Lu Fei and others' expressions were also very strange. After hesitating for a moment, Niu Ben took out a strip of cloth full of words from his arms.

"The barbarian scout said that this was what they asked to hand over to the emperor." Niu Ben presented the cloth strip to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming picked up the cloth strip and looked at it. His chest was almost burst with anger. He threw the cloth strip out and cursed: "The barbarians are comparable to livestock. I will definitely let them be wiped out."

Pang Yukun was a little puzzled. He picked up the cloth strip and looked at it. It read: "Dayu, a lowly country, from the emperor to the people, is just a rat. It is not a heroic move to occupy the city without leaving the city. How can you dare to claim to be the supreme country? It would be better to call yourself the son emperor to the Khan, so as not to fight and kill your dog!"

"It's so arrogant. Your Majesty, I am willing to send troops to attack the aliens of the barbarians with General Niu Ben."

Pang Yukun's whole body was trembling. In his heart, Xiao Ming's status was special. Anyone who dared to humiliate Xiao Ming in front of him would fight against him.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ming said, "This is the treacherous plan of the barbarians. The purpose is to anger me and let me attack the grassland rashly. This kind of trick has also been encountered by the old emperor. After decades, the barbarians have not yet made progress."

Pang Yukun sighed and said, "I am incompetent, so I have caused the emperor to suffer such humiliation."

Although Xiao Ming was angry, he knew that impulse was a devil. The more he used any means, the more it proved that the barbarians were anxious now.

Only unconfident enemies will use this despicable means. For him who is gradually gaining the upper hand, he only needs to wait for an opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"Your dear friends don't have to blame yourself. If you benefit the country's life and death, you will not avoid it because of misfortune or good fortune. What's the point of suffering? I just hope that you will be able to revitalize the Great Yu Kingdom with me and return all the humiliations that are today in the future."

When he said this, Xiao Ming looked arrogant.

Seeing this, Pang Yukun looked ashamed. He suddenly knelt down and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"What does Shoufu Pang mean?" Xiao Ming looked puzzled.

Pang Yukun cried on the ground, "Since the emperor's selfishness ascended the throne, the emperor's selfishness has flourished one day. For his own selfish interests, I have constantly rejected the old ministers in Chang'an and used his own people in the appointment of officials. I even opposed the emperor's cancellation of the government orders of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce for his own sake and ignored the benefits to the Great Yu Kingdom. I will be punished for all kinds of crimes."

"If it is beneficial to the country's life and death, how can it avoid it because of good fortune and disaster!" Pang Yukun thought. When Xiao Ming recited this sentence seriously, a feeling that he had forgotten for a long time was stirred up in his heart. Isn't this sentence exactly what he once pursued? But now his eyes are blinded by interests and completely ignore his original ambitions.

Not only Pang Yukun, but also the generals in the Political Consultative Hall bowed their heads in shame. Lu Fei said: "Your Majesty, the last general is also guilty. In the past, the last general fought for the country and the people, but now they are all committed to military merits. The last general is really ashamed."

"The last general is also guilty."

"The last general is also guilty."

“…”

The generals knelt down behind Pang Yukun one by one.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. What he was most worried about these days was the change in mentality of these people. Sometimes when he saw Pang Yukun in the court, he seemed to be a copy of Fiji.

His original purpose of using Fiji was not to balance Pang Yukun, but to stabilize the wealthy clan and old ministers. It was only because Pang Yukun's performance made him increasingly disappointed, so he was prepared for both. After all, what he didn't want to see the officials he trained was eventually assimilated.

"No one can do without mistakes, but if one is wrong, it is impossible to make mistakes." Xiao Ming smiled. He still remembered what Pang Yukun said to him five years ago. For the sake of the country, he was willing to go through fire and water. "As long as Pang Shoufu can help me with all his strength in the future."

His words today made Pang Yukun wake up suddenly, but it was unexpected that he had expected.

However, he has always only looked at the efficacy and not the advertisements. If Pang Yukun and his officials and generals tied their hearts to him again, it would be a great deal.

Because for him, he did not need reformists or conservatives, because no matter who wins, this will make the court controlled by a party.

For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, when the eunuch party was overthrown, the Donglin Party that came to power was also fatal.

His ultimate goal is to let the ministers perform their duties and there is no party dispute in the court.
