Chapter 438

The next morning, Zhang Shijie received the order from the Empress Dowager to participate in the court meeting, which made him feel a little sad. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager summoned several prime ministers, but refused his audience. Now he suddenly summoned him to participate in the court meeting, and he did not inform him of the matters discussed in advance, which made him very puzzled. Bi                W.

『BiQuGe.

CN But the little yellow gate waiting on the side was urged again. Zhang Shijie thought that he had made arrangements last night. After changing clothes, he took a few people to the Yuzhou. Along the way, he saw that all the ships around the Yuzhou had been replaced by Huai Army warships, and the generals leading the troops were all familiar faces, so he felt relieved.

However, Zhang Shijie was stunned when he entered the cabin. He saw that there were not only the ruling in the court, but also the rulings of the various ministries of the Secretariat. According to the court system, the ruling meetings were usually only held on the first and second day of the first day, and officials above the fifth rank in the capital had to participate to discuss the current state affairs. The court discussion was when the country was facing important matters and the king encountered difficult matters. The emperor convened the court to rule, and the three dukes and nine ministers convened a meeting to discuss solutions, but the final decision was still owned by the emperor. There were some things that the emperor would not raise in the court meeting, and the officials of a certain range of officials, and then submitted their opinions to the collective discussion; there were also meetings of the seminar of the Secretariat’s departments and ministers in the Secretariat to discuss matters. Now the important officials in the court gathered in one place to discuss, and it was obvious that the matters to be discussed are not ordinary.

"The Empress Dowager is here!" Everyone stood there after the queuing. The deacon and eunuch shouted in a long voice.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother sat down and everyone bowed behind the curtain.

"All my beloved ministers are exempted from courtesy and give them seats!" Empress Dowager Yang raised her hand and said.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Everyone bowed again, but Zhang Shijie found that the little emperor did not appear at the court meeting, which was a little strange.

"My dear friends, can the aftermath be handled properly?" Queen Mother Yang asked first.

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, the losses of all departments and military and civilians have been counted. The deceased have been properly buried, and the injured have been treated. The results of each department have been counted and are being verified!" 6 Xiufu stood up and answered after hearing this.

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, the military and civilians suffered heavy casualties in this battle. After checking, Your Majesty thought that the conditions on the ship were harsh and unfavorable to cultivate, and the accumulated medicinal materials had been sold out. Once an epidemic broke out, it would affect all military and civilians. Therefore, it is recommended that the injured be transferred to Qiongzhou for treatment as a good thing!" Liu Fu stood up and added.

"Well, this matter is related to the safety of the court, so the report is correct!" Empress Dowager Yang immediately said, "Other must provide pensions for casualties and casualties. Meritorious people should also report to reward them to ensure the hearts of the military and civilians!"

"Report to the Empress Dowager, I think it is inappropriate to send the injured to Qiongzhou!" Zhang Shijie was shocked when he heard this. The little emperor proposed to send the injured to Qiongzhou, but it seemed to be a good intention, but in fact it was to test the reaction of the Empress Dowager and the ministers to move to Qiongzhou. If it could be done, he would definitely raise this matter again in the next step. Of course, he could not let it succeed. After the plan was settled, he also stood up and said.

"Oh, then the Grand Tutor thought what to do to do? "The Queen Mother's voice came out after a little slowing down the curtain, and everyone heard that the Queen Mother seemed to be unhappy.

"The Empress Dowager, I think Qiongzhou is far away and takes several days to sail. It is barren and lacks medicine. Guangzhou is close to you, and it is a place where merchants gather and rich in supplies. It is better to attack Guangzhou while the enemy's strength is greatly damaged and get what you need." Zhang Shijie replied.

"Tao Zhang, today there is a military report. Li Heng, the garrison of the Tartar Guangzhou, fled back after his defeat. He quickly mobilized tens of thousands of troops from nearby prefectures and counties to camp outside the city. Although our army was victorious, it was already a exhausted army. How likely is there to attack a prepared enemy?" Wang Daofu, the Minister of War, stood up and asked.

"Shangshu Wang, why didn't our Privy Council receive the military report? Instead, your Ministry of War learned first. It's not that it's a false report on military information!" Wang De, the envoy of the Privy Council, stood up and sneered.

"Hmph, after the war, Your Majesty sent a ship to find Li Heng's whereabouts, but at that time, there was not a single person left of the Privy Council who had fled. Your Majesty could only hand it over to the Ministry of War. What's so strange about you!" Wang Daofu snorted coldly. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War are both in charge of the army, but the Privy Council has a lot of power to seize the Ministry of War, so the two departments have always been inconsistent, and it has become a traditional drama to pinch each other when they meet.

"You..." Wang Daofu's words were stabbing their pain. Wang De couldn't help but feel angry and said, "The Tartars approached the central army. We retreated first because we were concerned about the safety of the Queen Mother. How could we escape!"

"You are a strong argument. It is a common sense for the army to follow the flag. Don't you know? Once the commander's ship retreats, the military formation collapses. If Your Majesty had not raised the imperial flag, it would have almost collapsed the entire army!" Wang Daofu became more and more angry and said angrily, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I will participate in the crime of Wang De, the co-master envoy Wang De abandoning the army and fleeing!"

"I also advise that the Taifu, as an important official in the court, broke into the water camp and fled when the war was urgent, and abandoned His Majesty's safety and danger. If he was not punished, how could he boost the morale of the army!" Chen Zhongwei also stood up and said.

"The Empress Dowager, I want to participate in the Imperial Guards in front of the palace, Su Liu Yi. As the commander of the army, he fled fearfully, resulting in the loss of the two guards and trapping the court and Your Majesty in danger. He should be dealt with seriously to revitalize the court!" Xu Zongren, the Minister of Rites, also stood up and said.

"You are the Empress Dowager, the Grand Tutor is concerned about the safety of the Empress Dowager. It is understandable that he should leave the camp first. He would not abandon the king and flee. I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to make a clear decision!" Xia Shilin, the deputy governor, saw that everyone impeached Zhang Shijie and others, hurriedly stood up to defend the Tao.

"Governor Xia, you were ordered to supervise the battle in front of the palace. The general abandoned the army and fled. You should dissuade the army and perform the responsibility of supervising the army. But not only did you turn a blind eye, you also defended him. You should deal with it as accomplice and rectify the law!" Zhao Qiao, the Minister of Personnel, pointed the finger at Xia Shilin again.

"Empress Dowager, I am loyal to the country and will never be rebellious..." Xia Shilin was sweating coldly when he heard this, and turned around and spoke to the Empress Dowager.

"How can such a traitor be in high position? Please punish him!"

"This kind of person is like a rebellious person. He should be punished to rectify the spirit and shock the young man!"...

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, all the ministers in the court have jointly submitted memorials in the past few days, impeaching the Grand Tutor Zhang Shijie, the Right Prime Minister Yao Liangchen, the General Secretary of the Political Affairs of Xia Shilin, the Imperial Guard in front of the Palace, and the memorial commander Su Liuyi and others. The memorials are like snow and overwhelmed. Please ask the Empress Dowager to read them!" Just as everyone was arguing, Liu Xiufu stood up and said.

"Trial tutor, how do you explain?" Empress Dowager Yang coughed lightly, and the ministers immediately fell silent, and she said slowly.
