Chapter four hundred and sixty-fifth: court discussion

"Long live my emperor!"

Although it was only dusk, in the Huangji Hall, which was already brightly lit, a group of civil and military officials who came to receive the imperial edict looked at the little fat man who came with a happy face. They all couldn't help but secretly guess that this impromptu court meeting would be another one.

Something great is coming.

Speaking of which, generally speaking, if a military report comes back from the imperial army's expedition, the Ministry of War will be the first to know.

But the Yulin Guards are the little fat man's private army and do not belong to the Ministry of War or the Fifth Army Governor's Office at all. Therefore, every time Wang Bing sends back a military report, the first person to know about it is naturally the emperor, not the Ministry of War.

And this time, even if the Habayashi Guards only accounted for a small part of the Japanese conquering army, since the 'General Manager of the Japanese Expedition' was Wang Bing, the military reports sent back would naturally go straight to the little fat man.

"Haha, all my ministers, please be safe!"

As soon as the little fat man in a good mood sat down, he waved to the civil and military officials who were kneeling under the imperial steps to get up.

"I have just received the military report that the champion Hou's squadron has reported victory. I wanted to share this news with all my ministers tomorrow morning. However, after thinking about it, it is really a pity not to share such a great victory with you. Therefore, I can only

You called all the ministers here so late, hahahaha!"

Before the confused civil and military officials could speak, the little fat man revealed the mystery himself.

"I see! No wonder His Majesty summoned ministers and others to come so late. I must have done a great job for the champion this time, right? Haha!"

Seeing the little fat man's undisguised smile, Pan Sheng, as the chief assistant, was the first to stand up and express his congratulations with a chuckle.

"Haha, Prince, read the military report of the Champion Lord to all your ministers!"

After hearing Fan Sheng's congratulations, the little fat man picked up the military newspaper on the dragon case and handed it to Prince Zhu Changluo who was standing next to the throne.

Compared with the miserable prince in the original history who was not established as the prince of the East Palace until he was in his twenties, in this time and space, Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the little fat man, not only established his title as prince early, but also began to be favored by the little fat man.

Take Lin Chao to learn how to govern.

"Father, this..."

After taking the military report handed over by the little fat man, Zhu Changluo was in a dilemma as soon as he opened it.

There's no way around it, that straightforward and unruly opening sentence is really inappropriate to read on such an occasion.

“Haha, there’s no need to read the first page, just read the rest!”



"Your Majesty, 30,000...10,000 taels! What the champion said...but he is serious!"

When Zhu Changluo finished reading the military report reporting victory, Zhang Xueyan, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately stood up with excitement on his face and confirmed the authenticity of the number to the little fat man.

You know, before sending troops to Japan, the national treasury spent most of the military expenditure, and finally negotiated with the little fat man to agree on a 50-50 'dividend' after the war. If there were really 30 million taels, the treasury could get 15 million.

Ten million taels of silver.

"When did Zhang Aiqing see the champion make false claims on this military and national matter? Don't worry, prepare the warehouse as soon as possible and wait for the money, hahahaha!"

Looking at Zhang Xueyan with a look of disbelief on his face, the little fat man couldn't help but joke.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I don't eat or sleep, I will prepare the warehouse before the money is delivered, hahahaha!"

As the Minister of Household Affairs in charge of the empire's money bag, what Zhang Xueyan likes to see most is naturally the money flowing to the treasury!

However, as the contents of this military report were read out, he was not the only one who was excited. Following him, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Yu Youding, who also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and asked for instructions on this military expedition.

The return ceremony of the Japanese feudal clan.

You know, although it was not a secret that the imperial court conferred large and small vassals in Japan before, just like the emperor Xiaopangzi, all these vassals were brought back by Wang Bing to pay tribute, which was also something that he, the Minister of Rites, did not expect.

Therefore, in order to successfully handle this grand event where more than 60 vassal states came to pay tribute at once, he, the Minister of Rites, who was responsible for managing the vassal tribute matters, did not dare to slack off at all.

"Although these Japanese vassals have surrendered to the imperial court, they are still undecided, so they should not be treated too favorably, lest they become arrogant. Their standards should be lowered to one level compared to Ryukyu!"

After hearing Yu Youding's request for instructions, although he was excited that Wang Bing had brought back so many "long-faced" vassal states for him, fortunately, the little fat man had not gotten carried away and had not forgotten the nature of these Japanese people. Therefore, he directly received this

The specifications were set below Ryukyu.

"Your Majesty, since you have already punished me before, now is the time to show kindness. If you deliberately lower your reception standards, you may lose the hearts of the vassals."

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Chen said is true! Only with the combination of kindness and power can we win over their hearts and make these new Japanese vassals more submissive and submissive to me, the Ming Dynasty..."

However, as soon as the little fat man finished speaking, just as the undefeated military god had expected, facing these Japanese who had 'surrendered', headed by Chen Yubi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, some officials and the new department of Hanlin, all started to attack the little fat man one after another.

He raised objections to the deliberate lowering of reception standards for the new Japanese feudal clan.

"It's good to give both grace and power, but are you guys talking about favor and appeasement too early? How do you know that they must be sincerely surrendering and not intimidated by the might of our Ming army? Have you forgotten the arrogance and ambition of these Japanese people before?

"

Just when Chen Yubi and others demanded to improve the reception standards of the new Japanese vassal, British Duke Zhang Rong, the head of the noble family, stood up and expressed his opposition.

"What the British Lord said is true! If these Japanese kings surrendered so easily, the champion would not have to dismember them into dozens of kingdoms... Although the favor is very necessary, it is still too early to do so now!"

Following Zhang Rong, Duke Chengguo Zhu Yingzhen also stood up and expressed clear opposition to the proposal of favor proposed by Chen Yubi and others.

With the leaders of the two principalities at the forefront, all the princes, nobles, nobles and generals who came to attend the meeting also stood up one after another to express their support for the emperor, the little fat man.

'Huh? When did these distinguished generals become so courageous?'

Seeing this scene in front of him, Pan Sheng, as the chief minister of the cabinet, suddenly couldn't help but secretly become vigilant.

You know, since Tumubao, the nobles in the DPRK and the Central Government have had to rely on civil servants to even attack the nobles. How has there ever been such a tit-for-tat situation with the civil servants!

In fact, not only Fan Sheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, but also the other civil servants participating in the court meeting were still frowning at the situation in front of them.

There was no way, they were used to treating the Xunqi generals as decorations, so naturally they would not get used to this sudden counterattack from the Xunqi generals.

So when they saw that the military generals dared to rebel against the civil servants, their instinctive reaction was to suppress them.

However, before these people could take action, the fat man on the throne took action first.
