Chapter 792 Black Pot
Yuan Chongshang said impatiently: "What did you say? Don't have mother-in-law and mother."
The headmaster could only reply: "They said that this time the officers and soldiers failed, and the lives of those soldiers were... ruined in the hands of the adults." He thought that when this statement was made, Yuan Chongshang would inevitably be furious and did not dare to look up at Yuan Chongshang. Who knew that he could not hear the scolding for a long time. He looked up slightly, but saw Yuan Chongshang look ugly, but he said nothing.
"How is Fang Shihao?" After a long time, Yuan Chongshang asked, "Has he also died in battle?"
"Fortunately, Fang Zheng is still alive." The headmaster said hurriedly: "He returned to the shore from the underwater and had a breath left. Fortunately, he was still alive, but his whole body was seriously frostbite. He had been taken back to the city and was being treated by a doctor."
Yuan Chongshang sighed: "It's good to be alive. This time it was not his fault, it was my governor's mistake... Master, you are a scholar, I asked you to help me do something."
"Sir, please give me instructions."
"You help me draft a letter of guilt." Yuan Chongshang looked sad, "I will bear all the blame for this matter to the emperor..." He waved his hand and said, "You go first, send the letter of guilt here soon. I will send someone to the capital as soon as possible."
The headmaster said in surprise: "Sir, how can this... be done? Now that Anyi is in crisis, how can you apologize to the court? If the court is angry, the consequences are...!" He looked very frightened. He was promoted by Yuan Chongshang and belonged to Yuan Chongshang's confidant. If Yuan Chongshang really submitted the apology to the court, no one knew what the result would be.
The headmaster was someone around Yuan Chongshang, so he naturally knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor is quite capricious. In recent years, many court officials have been suddenly dismissed, but if they have the slightest disobedience to the emperor, they may be scouted and destroyed by the emperor.
Yuan Chongshang was indeed a minister trusted by the emperor, but he was only a monarch and his subject. In the battle of Yusuohu, the Imperial Guards could be called annihilated, and they destroyed most of the elite troops in Anyi in one battle. This was a great shame for both Yuan Chongshang and the court. The bad impact of this battle was enough to put the government in Anyi in trouble.
If this note is presented, the emperor would have issued an order to take Yuan Chongshang's head in anger. Even if he saves his life, he would be dismissed from office and dismissed from office.
The head teacher knew very well that he could be successful in the Ministry of Revenue because of Yuan Chongshang's trust. However, once Yuan Chongshang was dismissed, as Yuan Chongshang's confidant, his career will be over.
Yuan Chongshang sneered: "Do you think this governor is afraid of death?"
The headmaster immediately said, "The officials dare not." He did not take the order immediately, but went over and closed the door first, then came closer and fell to the ground, "Sir, the officials dared to make a statement. Please consider the millions of people in Anyi!"
Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"My dearest man knows better than anyone else. Nowadays, there will be great turmoil at any time." The headmaster said solemnly: "Although this battle has failed, only the one who can control the situation in Anyi is now. He has been in Anyi for many years and is the best at knowing the situation in Anyi. This time he has failed, but as long as he plans in detail, he will be able to defeat the Huang family rebellion next time and avenge his previous shame. If the adult apologizes himself and the court really punishes the adult, then Anyi, which has lost the adult, will inevitably fall into greater turmoil. Even if the court sends people to deal with it, in the face of the complex situation in Anyi, there will never be anyone else who is more suitable than the adult."
Yuan Chongshang said: "So what? Since this governor failed in his decision, he naturally had to report to the court truthfully. Thousands of lives were buried in Yusuohu Lake because of this governor. Even if the governor wanted to cut off his head, the governor had nothing to say."
The headmaster said, "Don't you want to avenge this deep hatred?" Seeing Yuan Chongshang's face twitching, the headmaster slowly stood up and approached the past, and said in a deep voice: "Once the court knows that the adults will probably punish them in 100% of the time, how will the adults avenge? The adults are heroes. As the saying goes, "If you don't want to avenge your grudges, you won't be a gentleman. The thousands of brothers who are buried in Yusuohu are all the brothers of the adults. The adults are just watching them being harmed by the Huang family's rebellion, and they don't want to avenge them with their own hands?"
Yuan Chongshang clenched his fists, his muscles twitched, and he pondered for a moment, and finally said, "How can such a big thing be covered? I'm afraid that the failure of Yusuohu Lake has spread throughout Anyi?"
Seeing that Yuan Chongshang's tone was loose, the head teacher said softly: "Sir, the result of the war in Yusuohu is naturally impossible to hide, but few people know who caused this failure."
"What do you mean?"
The head of the division said: "Sir, everyone only saw that Fang Zheng led the troops to fight, and the war affairs of Yusuohu have been handed over to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng, as the commander of the Imperial Guards and the military commander of the encirclement and suppression of the Huang Family Rebellion Party, is naturally qualified to send troops to quell the rebellion."
Yuan Chongshang stared at the commander-in-chief. Seeing that Yuan Chongshang was expressionless, he continued: "The Lord did not order troops to attack in public, and there was no order to hand over to Fang Zhengzheng..."
Yuan Chongshang understood and frowned and said, "Do you want to say that you will leave all the responsibility to Fang Zheng?"
The head of the division lowered his voice and said, "The Lord led the crowd to patrol. In order to seek credit and reward, Fang Zheng sent troops to attack Yusuohu Lake without authorization, resulting in defeat and failure... This is not unexplainable for the failure."
Yuan Chongshang sneered: "Fang Tongzhi has followed this governor for many years. Are you planning to let this governor ignore his faith and hand over the trouble to the governor? You must be clear that this governor takes responsibility. The emperor may not really order me to be killed if he thinks of his old feelings. However, if the responsibility is placed on Fang Tongzhi, the governor will surely die... And there is one thing you don't know. This time, this military order was issued, and this governor later told the imperial envoy Chu Huan that he knew that this military order was issued by this governor. He was sent by the governor. If the responsibility was put on Fang Tongzhi, if Chu Huan told the emperor the truth, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The headmaster shook his head and said, "Sir, Chu Huan is a good imperial envoy, but compared to the Lord, the emperor's feelings for him may not be as good as Chu Huan. Although the Lord told Chu Huan that the military order was issued by the Lord, he had no evidence in his hands. This time, the Lord issued the order for the surprise attack, without any warrant, and no one had the evidence that the Lord directly issued the order...!" He came closer and whispered: "Sir, Chu Huan has been dealing with the excuses and the officials in the Ministry of Revenue Department these days, and has contacted many merchants. He accepted all the gifts given to him by the merchant..."
Yuan Chongshang frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Chu Huan looks like he is not so evident and is very low-key, but... it seems that he is not repulsive of gold and silver." The headmaster chuckled and said, "A person is afraid that he has no preferences. As long as he has preferences, everything will be much easier. As long as he gives an order, the lower-ranking officials will be sent to the other end of Chu Huan."
Yuan Chongshang pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "The emperor is very kind to me, and the emperor is so kind to me. I... How can I deceive the emperor?"
"My lord is not a deceiving king. If you really want to be loyal to the emperor, you should stay in Anyi and get rid of the Huang family's rebellion." The head of the army said solemnly: "Once you leave Anyi, Anyi will be in chaos. Now it is unstable in the northwest and in the southeast. If Anyi is in chaos again, the hinterland of the Central Plains will become chaotic, which is definitely not a blessing for the empire."
Yuan Chongshang leaned on the chair, picked up the teacup, and was silent for a while. He was about to drink tea when he found that the cup was empty. He put down the teacup and asked: "The chief of the army is loyal to me, I am... How can I bear to let him bear such a crime for me...!" He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Forget it, Master, I am the chief, I am the chief of the army. I am the one who said I am the one who has not heard, so I will draw a memorial for the reprimand for me!"
The headmaster knelt down on the ground and sobbed: "Sir, if you want to accomplish great things, you must make sacrifices. The subordinates think that if you can really guarantee the safety of the Lord, there will never be any objection to Fangzhuan!"
Yuan Chongshang was silent for a while and didn't say anything. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone outside the door report: "Master, I sent Lord Chu to ask for a meeting!"
"Ah?" Yuan Chongshang's body was shocked, "Please invite him in!"
The headmaster had already stood up and whispered: "Your Majesty can now explore Chu Huan's words... The safety of Anyi, even the safety of the empire, are all about you. You must not hesitate at all!"
Yuan Chongshang didn't speak, and soon, the footsteps sounded. Before the person arrived, the voice came in first: "Governor, you are awake, that's good, that's good...!" The headmaster had already stepped forward and opened the door. Chu Huan stepped in from outside. After entering the door, he immediately bowed to Yuan Chongshang and said, "I want to come over and see if the Governor is awake. Lord is safe and sound. This is great!"
Yuan Chongshang stood up and bowed, "I'm worried about Lord Chu, please sit, please sit!" When Chu Huan sat down, Yuan Chongshang winked and signaled the master to leave in advance. After the master said goodbye, Yuan Chongshang smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord Chu, I am... I am really ashamed to see you. This time, my elite guards were almost wiped out... Alas..." He sighed, with a sad expression.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Governor General, don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are common affairs, but... Chu said bluntly that before the Lord sent troops, he did not inform Chu, and Chu thought it was quite inappropriate."
Yuan Chongshang waved his hand and said, "This is my governor who is too cautious... Forget it, Lord Chu, what is the situation in Yusuohu Lake now?"
"After the Governor fell into a coma, I immediately sent someone to send it back." Chu Huan said: "The Huang family rebels captured some soldiers, and hundreds of people survived death, but... most of them were buried in Yusuohu Lake. After the Huang family retreated, we sent ships to collect the bodies. Some of them had not yet died, but only a handful of them. Fortunately, Fang Zheng escaped from death, which was a blessing in disgrace."
Yuan Chongshang nodded slightly, and Chu Huan said again: "The head of the Ministry of War is now in charge of military affairs on Yusuohu. The shipbuilding matter is still going on. No matter what, the Huang family rebellion party still needs to suppress the pacification. If this night attack fails, we can only re-enlist and re-recruit the shipbuilding from a long-term plan."
Yuan Chongshang said: "Mr. Chu made the arrangements appropriately."
Chu Huan looked at Yuan Chongshang, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Governor, there is one thing that is the top priority, so I'll discuss it with you!"
"What is Lord Chu talking about?"
"The Governor's attack at night was not in advance." Chu Huan said slowly: "Chu wants to figure out why the Huang family prepared so well in advance, how did they know that the Governor's attack on Yusuohu Lake at night..." His expression was cold, "Chu really wants to know who would be the one who leaked such a major military aircraft behind him?"
