Chapter 1669 Emperor Daning is as fierce as a tiger
"What?"
Zhu Zhen's expression changed drastically, and his voice seemed to be raised a bit. He exhaled and inhaled one after another before he calmed down.
Wang Yuan, who was very close to him, even noticed that His Majesty's face was trembling a bit.
Emperor Daning is as fierce as a tiger, how could he even frighten His Majesty to this extent?
Wang Yuan could not believe it.
Then he felt normal again. He knew best that His Majesty had set the word "Yuan Wu" as a taboo. Isn't this a sign of fear?
Zhu Zhen's subconscious thought was that Emperor Yuanwu had arrived in person and might start another war.
If the war breaks out again, the Liang army will be unable to mobilize and will not have any resistance. What follows will be the end of the country being shattered.
And he, Zhu Zhen, will become the king of subjugation!
An emperor who rebelled to seize the throne, an emperor who claimed to save a dilapidated dynasty, ended up becoming the king of the country's subjugation!
What a ridiculous thing!
He will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and will be remembered for eternity!
How could he have the face to meet his ancestors?
This was the real reason for his fear. When he thought of this result, he was terrified all day long. He wanted to change and accumulate national strength to fight against Daning.
But Guan Ning didn't give him time.
As a result, Zhu Zhen was extremely frightened and found it difficult to treat him calmly.
Zhu Zhen calmed down and asked directly: "Why is Guan Ning here?"
He no longer calls Emperor Yuanwu, but calls him by his first name.
"I don't know yet."
Han Chongdao, the Minister of War, who came to report: "I only know that he led a large team, paraded in high profile, and visited everywhere..."
This Minister of War was the new minister after Zhu Zhen came to the throne. He came from a powerful family and followed Zhu Zhen to Daning.
"Is there any attempt to win over people's hearts?"
"have!"
Got a positive answer.
Zhu Zhen's face was ashen, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.
He knew that Guan Ning was the best at scheming. He occupied Beilin Province at that time, which caused serious resistance from the local Liang people to Liang Jun.
Ruling Liang with Liang people is exactly what is abominable about him.
Zhu Zhen hates it!
He also wanted to use scheming, but he didn't want to go astray. He would go too far and make everyone in the court and the local people fear him. Now he is trying his best to make up for it, which is why this situation has happened...
hateful!
Extremely abominable!
Zhu Zhen suddenly thought that if the court officials and the people of Bianjing knew about Guan Ning's arrival, there would be even greater disturbances...
"In order to avoid causing panic and turmoil in people's hearts, we must try our best to block the news about evil people coming to Liang Kingdom and prevent it from spreading."
It wasn't originally like this.
But after all his propaganda, just the words "Emperor Yuanwu Guan Ning" made people uneasy.
Zhu Zhen regretted it endlessly.
Han Chong was a little confused: "It's possible to conceal it for a short time, but it may be difficult to cover it up for a long time."
"Emperor Daning was wandering around, preaching loudly, and he even brought a group of lecturers and readers here!"
"Talking about reading people?"
Zhu Zhen's expression changed again.
He has not been in Daning for a long time, but he also knows a lot of inside information about Daning.
The readers were a group of capable ministers and officials trained by Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty. When the two countries were at war, the readers played a huge role and disturbed people's hearts everywhere.
Zhu Zhen was well aware of its harms, and even more aware of its benefits. He had previously preached the evil of Emperor Yuanwu, and he was the one who imitated it...
Obviously, Emperor Daning came prepared!
Zhu Zhen said in a low voice: "No matter what, we must conceal it as much as possible, and we must not let him do what he does."
"Your Majesty, rest assured."
Han Chong spoke again: "Emperor Daning is definitely not here to start a war..."
"Let's discuss it carefully."
Zhu Zhen said: "Call the prime minister, Zhang Yi, Shen Tai... to hold a court..."
The words are not finished yet.
Then he fell silent.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister has passed away outside the palace gate!"
There was an urgent report before, but now the sadness is revealed.
Han Chong knelt down and said in pain: "Your Majesty, the prime minister passed away outside the palace gate!"
"Yes, the prime minister is dead!"
He had subconsciously summoned the prime minister to come to the court for discussion just now, but he didn't react until he finished speaking...
"Your Majesty came to the throne with the assistance of the Prime Minister. Your Majesty left the capital and went on an envoy to Daning. It is the Prime Minister who manages the government. The Prime Minister has worked hard for three dynasties. When the late emperor was on the throne, he was very courteous and did not dare to neglect it. But now he is asking for advice outside the palace gate. Because he has long
Kneel down and find it difficult to support him..."
Han Gaofeng shouted: "Your Majesty, an important minister has fallen and the beams are in danger. Please understand the pain of the prime minister's death, appoint talents, and conduct strict investigations..."
"Be bold!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Fang shouted and stopped him.
"Above the Dragon Palace, you dare to roar like this. What crime do you deserve?"
Of course he had to stop drinking.
If Han Chong continues to speak, he will be blamed.
However, what he said was really too bold and arrogant. He was accusing His Majesty of listening to slander and had Prime Minister Pang Shigu killed.
But they don't understand at all.
What is a great achievement is a great fault!
Wang Yuan has been serving His Majesty recently. He knows very well that Your Majesty no longer needs this veteran minister who has experienced three dynasties.
With his prestige and meritorious deeds, Prime Minister Pang Shigu influences His Majesty's decisions all the time.
To put it simply, he was too judgmental...
Wang Yuan sneered inwardly.
Although Your Majesty is saddened by the passing of Prime Minister Pang Shigu, you will never regret it.
When your Majesty rebelled, Fan Cang, the general under the orthodox emperor, was executed by your Majesty despite his great achievements, let alone an old and frail prime minister?
The Holy Will is unpredictable!
Zhu Zhen took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Whatever I do, I make my own decision. I will allow you to offend once, but I won't do it next time!"
"No matter what, we can't let the news of Guan Ning coming to Daliang spread. Let's do it immediately."
"We must also win over the generals of the Daning army as much as possible. With the promise of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, you can go to Liaoqing in person."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
