Chapter 295 Li Ming's Plan
There was a rare quarrel in the Kyoto court at this moment. The news about the beast tide sweeping through Nange City had spread. After several days of fermentation, King Wen finally put it out today and asked everyone to give their opinions. Google search reading
The Ji family didn't come today. Perhaps one of their own branches took the main responsibility for this beast wave. They were born with a fault and couldn't escape criticism and harassment even if they came to court, so they simply didn't come.
"...The casualties and losses in Nange City are probably like this. I wonder if you all have any opinions to mention." King Wen finished reading the report in his hand, and the court started from here.
"Nange City is the capital of Nanchuan. The governor cannot escape his responsibility for such a severe damage." Sun Wu spoke first and cupped his hands. "I think the governor of Nanchuan, Mr. Zuo Zuzi, has made certain dereliction of responsibility and should be punished and suspended for probation."
Before he finished speaking, Li Ming spoke abruptly on the opposite side, "When the beast tide is coming, shouldn't we first think about how to provide disaster relief? Why do we punish them first?"
"You, Sun Wu, are so anxious to replace the Governor of Nanchuan?"
"Li Ming, what do you mean by this?" After two sentences, Sun Wu's expression suddenly darkened. "It is a big mistake to treat the situation first. The governor failed in his duties, which proves that he is not suitable to be the governor."
"Isn't the main reason why the beast tide broke out because the Ji family rebelled? What does it have to do with the Governor of Nanchuan? Even if he has neglected his duty, at most he just doesn't know people well?" Ye Mou also spoke up, "Sun Wu, you don't even know the priorities. Can’t tell the difference?”
"You." These words made Sun Wu choke. On the side, the civil servants of their lineage saw this and were busy changing the subject, "Marshal Ye, the Ji family is the Ji family of Nange City, so we can't just talk about the Ji family. "
"You civil servants can only talk about words." Ye Mou replied coldly, "Are you unable to understand human speech or do you think King Wen cannot understand human speech? I don't know that the Ji family I am talking about is the Ji family of Nange City. ? Are your ears on your butt?"
"Marshal Ye, how can someone in the court be so vulgar?" Another civil servant spoke up.
"What's wrong with my vulgarity? I, Ye Mou, am a military general. I have been fighting and killing on the battlefield all my life, so I can't say anything nice." Ye Mou counterattacked, "If you find it objectionable, you don't have to listen. King Wen didn't say anything. Just jump out. What are you anxious about?"
"Except for setting up unfounded literary inquisitions, what use are you civil servants? You can't fight, and you can only write blindly. You still receive so much salary every year. If you look at it, the book boys in my family who study ink are more useful than you."
"King Wen." These words made several civil servants anxious. Their eyes moved and looked at King Wen at the end of the round table, seeming a little anxious.
King Wen naturally heard the whole quarrel, and there was a look of helplessness on his face.
Ever since Ye Mou and Li Ming raised the banner and entered the court, there have been countless quarrels like this every day. This quarrel is not only the conflict between Sun Ji's family and Ye Mou, but also the conflict between those on the front lines who have withdrawn. between the military generals and the civil servants trained by this dynasty.
Civil servants are always in charge, while military generals are always in charge of killing. Sun Ji's side more represents the noble clans that have been entrenched for many years, and they consider their own power and profit, while most of Ye Mou's side are generals who fight alone on the battlefield, are more close to the people, and give priority to ordinary people.
This is also the reason why the court today is in such chaos. In the final analysis, the two sides have already had irreconcilable conflicts. In the past, Sun Ji was the dominant one, and most of the generals who retired from the front line were not good at words and had no leaders. Now Ye The emergence of Mou is equivalent to filling this vacancy.
But among the people who are close to the king, there are a few who cannot speak. I am a military commander, but I am not forcing the civil servants to jump around in a hurry.
King Wen also had a headache, but at this moment, he could only say, "Marshal Ye, let's discuss the matter of Nange City first."
King Wen spoke, but Ye Mou didn't say anything else. He remained silent for a while, and then said, "I think we should focus on disaster relief. We will first send people over to inspect the specific disaster situation, and then discuss the specific amount of disaster relief."
"After all, Nange City is the capital of Nanchuan and represents the center of a province. If the victims are severely affected, the impact will be huge."
"Yes." After hearing this, King Wen nodded slightly and looked to the other side, "Minister Sun Wu, what do you think?"
"I think we should also rectify some officials who are waiting for opportunities to cause trouble." Sun Wu said, but he suddenly took out an intelligence book, "Many people have reported in Nanchuan that the Minister of Military Affairs of Nanchuan, Tiangong, is suspected of gathering private soldiers. , is said to have tens of thousands of troops, and has repeatedly collided with the Governor's Mansion and the major families in Nange City."
"Minister of the Nanchuan Armed Forces? Gathering private soldiers?" As soon as this unfamiliar term came out, King Wen frowned, "Is there such a thing?"
When the voice fell, facing Sun Wu, the expressions of Li Ming and Ye Mou changed slightly. They wanted to say something, but due to the limitations of their positions, they were a little scrupulous and did not speak.
"If there is such a thing, we should really take a closer look."
King Wen thought about it, his eyes seemed to sweep over Ye Mou and the others, and after a silence, he made a sound.
"Well, since it is a matter in the south, let Li Ming handle it. Didn't you handle it very well last time in Yuncheng?"
Sun Wu was a little stunned when he decided to speak out. Just as he was about to say something again, Li Ming had already stood up and said, "Thank you King Wen for your trust. Li Ming will handle it properly."
"There are still many regulations to be dealt with today. There is no need to continue discussing the Nanchuan matter."
…
After the court ended, a group of people walked out of the door, wanting to compare Sun Wu's dark face. Ye Mou and Li Ming were much more refreshed. It was rare that the Ji family had rectified the problem and did not go to court, and it was rare that King Wen was biased.
"King Wen is so decisive today. In the past, I had to hesitate for a long time to argue with him like this." Li Ming said as he walked outside the door and looked at Ye Mou with a somewhat happy expression. "I thought there would be some trouble today."
"King Wen probably knows something..." Ye Mou's expression was a little deeper. He was stronger and thought further. Although his thoughts were complicated at the moment, he just shook his head in the end.
"But as long as King Wen doesn't say anything, everything will be much easier to handle."
"Fan'er has made some big moves in Nange City recently. After this period of time passes, he should be able to establish himself in Nange City."
"His boy is really good. His ability to seize opportunities is no less good than Zhan Tian's back then. If you give him a few more years, he might be able to do something big in Nanchuan."
Li Ming was full of praise, but when he said something, he seemed to think of something and looked at Ye Mou, "It's just that Fan'er will go to college in another year, right?"
"Well, there is a high probability that he will come to Kyoto." Ye Mou nodded.
"What about his arrangements in Nanchuan?" Li Ming asked. "When he comes to Kyoto, he will be just a student. By then, I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to change his identity as casually as he does now."
"I don't know about that. He should have a plan himself." Ye Mou shook his head and said something. He turned his head and looked over. When he saw Li Ming's sad face and seemed to have complicated thoughts, he suddenly spoke and cursed:
"You guy, it's none of your business that Ye Fan is studying or anything like that. He's not your grandson, so you're still worried."
"Can't I be sad if he's not my grandson? Zhan Tian is my brother. I treat his grandson as my own grandson." Li Ming replied. At this point, he suddenly thought of something and came to Ye Mou's side. .
"Don't tell me, I do have a granddaughter. She is twenty-three years old this year and has just graduated from college. She has the strength of nine golden stars and is as talented as a white flower. How about matching them up..."
"Ye Fan is not even seventeen this year, you think so." Hearing this, Ye Mou laughed and scolded, but looked at Li Ming's serious expression and was stunned, "Brother Li Ming, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Li Ming replied, "The more I see this kid, Ye Fan, the more I like him. I might as well get married and become my grandson."
"It's nothing to do with the marriage family, but after all, he has a strong opinion. He still makes the decision on marriage..." Ye Mou replied, but he hesitated.
"Why don't you take your granddaughter with you when you go there this time?"
"Then it's settled!" After hearing this, Li Ming agreed and left in a hurry without saying a word, "I'll go find my granddaughter right now."
Watching Li Ming go away, Ye Mou stayed where he was. Perhaps Li Ming couldn't wait to leave. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled helplessly.
"It's still a bit sloppy."
"For a man like Fan'er and an ordinary woman, I'm afraid there's no way to make him return to his heart."
"It doesn't matter if the in-laws don't become friends, but don't become enemies..."
