Chapter 605: The Emperor's Prestige Can't Be Offended
A few days later, the situation in Kucha and Yan Xing's apology was soon passed back to the Shendu by the Emperor Ge from the Western Regions Protectorate.
In the Huagai Hall, Yuan Xi sighed: "It was me who neglected that Princess Jieyou is not only the princess of the Han Dynasty, but also the pride of our nation. We cannot ruin the princess's years of efforts and long-cherished wishes because of a moment of impulse."
"Your Majesty is wise. As long as Wusun is willing to continue to respect my Daxi as the sect leader, obey my Daxi's orders, follow my Daxi's orders, and imitate the past and send troops to the Huns, I Daxi can retain its country." Tian Feng stood up and agreed.
"Your Majesty, even though he said that, Yan Xing disobeyed the emperor's orders after all. Since Your Majesty's uprising, no one has dared to disobey His Majesty's orders. The Privy Council requested a memorial to fine him for one year. At the same time, Ma Chao ordered him to strictly educate him. If he dared to tamper with the emperor's orders at will, he would be punished strictly without lending." At this time, Li Ru suddenly stood up with a serious face.
"What the right prime minister said is, no matter what it is, he must not overpower his will and overtake his emperor's will. Even if Yan Xing wants to let go, he should arrest him first and then obey the arrangements of the central government." Xu Shu was also serious and scary.
After Yuan Xi frowned, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Yanming, passionate man, just give me a little warning."
However, seeing the scene that Yuan Xi didn't care, Li Ru and Xu Shu were shocked and immediately said: "Okay!"
Tian Feng, Han Yan and Zhuge Liang next to him also became solemn. They were not afraid of Your Majesty’s anger, but they were afraid of Your Majesty’s laughter. Your Majesty’s anger means that they care about you. When Jiao Chu committed a crime, Your Majesty scolded him, causing Jiao to break his fingers. But that does show that Your Majesty’s deep love is unwilling to let Jiao Chu go. However, Yan Xing changed his orders without any concern, which just means that there was a sting in Your Majesty’s heart.
....
Three days later, not far from Hulao Pass in Guanzhong, Ma Chao and Pang De were seen leading thousands of cavalry forward.
Not long after, Ma Chao ordered the entire army to rest and then took Pang De to a stream.
"Young Master, you seem to have something to worry about these days," Pang De said curiously.
After Ma Chao was silent for a while, he frowned and said, "Yanming is too impulsive."
"Is it because of Wusun?" Pang De asked.
Ma Chao nodded and said seriously: "Yanming has a kind heart to pay tribute to Princess Jieyou. It seems reasonable and reflects the dynasty style of my Daxi, but he does not know that this is also a disobeying the emperor's order. Your Majesty is not a person like Han Sui, and he pays attention to his authority the most. The commanders of the major legions of our Dayan seem to be extremely majestic, but in fact, the millions of troops in Dayan are completely in the hands of His Majesty. Yesterday Li Yong came to find this commander. The Military Command was very dissatisfied with this incident. The Military Command controlled the morale of the military. Once Your Majesty gets angry, it is not Li Yong. It is estimated that the Military Command and the Jinyiwei will be dispatched, and Yan Xing, the deputy commander, may not be able to save it."
"Is it so serious? Although the Privy Council is dissatisfied, it is just asking you, Master, to reprimand," Pang De said unexpectedly.
"Originally, I thought it was just like this, but the governor Cheng came to see me personally the night before, explaining the seriousness. Yan Xing was not Jiao Shuai and others. In addition to their military achievements, they also had a deep affection with Your Majesty. They made a mistake. It is estimated that Your Majesty would just be scolded, but Yan Xing was different. He had not long been in surrender and had not had much military achievements. How could he satisfy Your Majesty? To put it bluntly, he would rather have done it than do it. If Yan Ming did not express his opinion, this dissatisfaction would be accumulated in Your Majesty's heart. Now it's okay, the problem will be big in the future." Ma Chao shook his head.
"Hasn't the deputy commander already wrote a letter to apologize?" Pang De said.
"It's useless to apologize, you have to resign," Ma Chao said loudly.
"Resignation" Pang De was shocked.
"And you must be as soon as possible, otherwise your Majesty will warn the generals with Yanming's affairs, and Yanming will be in danger." Ma Chao sighed.
"Your Majesty won't be like this..." Pang De stopped in shock.
"Your Majesty is not stingy, but he needs a clear attitude and needs to determine his absolute supremacy in front of the civil and military officials of the court." Ma Chao said softly.
"Then let Yanming know quickly." Pang De said anxiously. Although they were opponents before, over the years, the enemy has turned into friends.
"When I came, I had already sent a message. I hope Yanming will not be stubborn and the emperor's power will not be violated!" Ma Chao said worriedly.
After nodding, Pang De said in admiration: "Young Master, I will find that your ideas are becoming more and more mature."
Ma Chao was stunned and smiled bitterly: "How can you compare to an orthodox dynasty in troubled times? When you fully understand all aspects of Daxi, you will find how terrible Your Majesty is. It's not just martial arts. Just move your fingers gently. Even if you are the general, you will die on the spot. Front-end time, that huge storm, have you forgotten that Your Majesty didn't even use the army that time?"
Pang De's pupils shrank, and he remembered the gentry who were now like frightened birds in Xiliang. He nodded seriously and said, "The Propaganda Department has completely deified Your Majesty. Any opposition to Your Majesty is against the entire Daxi people."
"Yes, so the Nine Legions must work harder in the future. Only by adding a lot of military achievements can your Majesty have a friendship with you. This friendship is comparable to Ueta Xiang's gold medal for avoiding death," Ma Chao said firmly.
"promise!"
......
When the founding hall was less than five days away, Daxi's commanders began to rush to Shendu one after another. The troops accompanied by him would participate in the founding military parade, which naturally made hundreds of thousands of people in Shendu feel joy again.
On this day, in the Huagai Hall, Yuan Xi held a memorial in his hand. After reading it, he looked at Li Ru and Xu Shu and smiled and said, "Yanming is too stingy to see me. He will not take any orders from outside! In addition, he has completed the task, why should he resign? He also said that it is so serious. Is your Privy Council too strict?
"No, this is what Deputy Commander Yan thinks about himself sincerely," Li Ru said immediately.
"What do you think about yourself? Yanming defeated Wusun, saved Kucha, and remembered the princess. He was a meritorious minister and deserved to be rewarded. Because he wanted to guard the Western Regions, he could not come to participate in the founding hall for the time being. Then he would pass the order and confer him the title of the Marquis of Xiping," Yuan Xi said loudly.
"No!" After the two responded, Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you send this resignation letter and send it down so that all the generals can understand the attitude of Deputy General Yan."
"Yes, this can be considered praising him from another aspect," Yuan Xi nodded.
"promise!"
After Li Ru and Xu Shu left, Yuan Xi waved to Zheng Chun beside him and said, "Go to the Jinyiwei and tell Linghu Suo that Yanming is a real general, I appreciate it very much."
"No" Zheng Chun replied in a low voice.
After Yuan Xi smiled with satisfaction, an eunuch suddenly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Gan Shuai has entered the city. In addition, Tian Xiang's son is expected to arrive tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yuan Xi immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Okay, Xingba and Bowen are back, all the generals are united, the heroes return to their country, and the world is settled, hahaha."
A huge laughter echoed in the spacious and bright hall and spread to the distant sky.
