Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

As several officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel came forward to impeach, the entire court suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone couldn't believe that on such a grand occasion, these officials dared to come out to spoil His Majesty's elegance.

He even directly impeached the biggest contributor this time, His Majesty's most trusted Marquis of Dinghai.

Guo An, who was standing in the front, also looked in disbelief.

Are these officials crazy?
There are actually people who would impeach someone randomly for their own selfish reasons, even if they do not hesitate to become traitorous courtiers.

"Humph!"

Guo An snorted coldly and directly asked Meng Yi, the censor who took the lead in impeaching him.

"I dare to ask Yushi Meng, the Mongolian Tatars have been plundering our Ming Dynasty borders every year and slaughtering our Ming Dynasty people. They have not wiped out the roots of the Mongol Tatars. Is it possible that they will continue to come back next year and continue to kill our Ming Dynasty people?

As an official of our Ming Dynasty, Meng Yushi defended the Tatars in this way. I wonder what his intentions were? "

"Why is Marquis Dinghai so venomous?"

Meng Yi said angrily: "Locust plague is not the only way to eradicate the root cause. Why is Marquis Dinghai so cruel?"

"More than this?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a sneer: "May I ask Yushi Meng, is there any other way to exterminate those Tatars and save the people on the border of the Ming Dynasty from suffering?"

"This……"

Meng Yi was stunned. He was just a censor, how could he know any tricks?
However, he noticed the gloating expressions on the faces of the military attachés around him, and his eyes flashed sharply.

"Marquis Dinghai, it is not easy for me, the Ming Dynasty, to have so many military officers to conquer a few foreign Tatars. Why do we need to use such insidious methods as the locust plague?"

"Easy?"

Guo An sneered and handed Wu Xun directly to Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong and others.

"I dare to ask Wei Guogong, Cao Guogong, and the military attachés have also heard what Meng Yushi said. I wonder what you think?"

Xu Huizu smiled coldly and saluted Zhu Di directly.

"Your Majesty, I have learned that Yushi Meng has a good plan to annihilate the Tatars. Congratulations to your majesty. Congratulations to your majesty. I hope to annihilate the northern Tatars and Waci people in the Ming Dynasty."

Li Jinglong also chuckled and said: "I congratulate Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has such a great sage as Yushi Meng, and we can hope to wipe out the descendants of the north!"

"That's great, that's great. Congratulations to Your Majesty for having such a great sage as Yushi Meng!"

"..."

As all the military attachés started taunting him, Meng Yi really panicked.

According to his previous experience, these military attaches would not be so shameless.

And now, these military attaches are actually...

"Meng Qing's family, since you have a way to exterminate the Tatars and Waci people in the north, you are willing to serve as the general of Zhengbei and exterminate those Tatars and Waci people for our Ming Dynasty, so as to eliminate future troubles on the border of our Ming Dynasty forever!

As long as you accomplish this, we will make you the Duke of our country.

If you can't do it, you are deceiving the emperor..."

Hearing this, Meng Yi's face turned pale and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty clearly understands that my Ming Dynasty has so many elite soldiers and generals that we can completely wipe out the Tatars in one battle without the use of locust plagues! "

Guo An asked directly: "What Meng Yushi means is that your majesty is inferior to me and the generals of the Ming Dynasty?"

Meng Yi's expression changed greatly, and she hurriedly apologized to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, it's clear to me that I am dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and have no such intention!"

Guo An asked again: "Then Yushi Meng's intention is for your majesty to use the entire army to conquer the northern Tatars?"

Meng Yi nodded subconsciously.

"Humph!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, I am forcing you to investigate this treacherous minister with ulterior motives!"

Meng Yi glared at Guo An angrily, "Why is the Marquis of Dinghai slandering me so much?" Guo An stared at Meng Yi closely and asked: "Meng Yushi is a dignified and important official of the Ming Dynasty. How could he not know that it would take hundreds of thousands of troops to go on an expedition? How much grain and baggage is consumed, and how much labor is required?
Not to mention such a waste of time and money!

I would like to ask Yushi Meng, in the eyes of Yushi Meng, are the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Ming Dynasty not as good as even the lives of some Tatars?
Can you die at will? "

All the military attachés also stared at Meng Yi with anger on their faces.

"What does Marquis Dinghai mean?"

Meng Yi's expression changed and she asked quickly.

"Does Yushi Meng not know that the army to conquer those northern Tatars needs real swords and spears?"

Guo Anhan said: "How many Ming soldiers and generals will be killed or injured in the battle between hundreds of thousands of troops and the northern Tatars?"

"Censor Meng, who is so loyal to our Ming Dynasty, has a good locust plague, but he insists on making the court waste money and people, and even causes tens of thousands of soldiers and generals of our Ming Dynasty to be killed or injured, or even hundreds of thousands...

Moreover, the northern grasslands and deserts are vast and boundless. If our Ming army goes out to fight, if those Tatars escape far away, won't they waste their people and money in vain?
I would like to ask Yushi Meng, what is the purpose of this? "

After hearing this, Meng Yi could no longer hold on, her whole body went limp and she knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty, and I have absolutely no different intentions!"

Zhu Di said quietly: "In that case, please ask the Mengqing family to explain the question of Marquis Dinghai!"

Meng Yi was stunned and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this is just a mistake made by Wei Chen. Wei Chen is just a civil servant and does not know that there are so many things to pay attention to when marching and fighting!"

"A good one doesn't know!"

On the side, Guo An continued to sneer, "As the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty, without knowing the situation, he slandered the noble princes at will, tempted your majesty to send troops, not only wasting the people and money, but also suspected of bullying the emperor..."

Hearing this, the officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but tremble.

Is this Marquis of Dinghai so ruthless?
Meng Yi, on the other hand, glared at Guo An fiercely.

"This is an official dereliction of duty. Why is Marquis Dinghai so hard on me?"

"I'm forcing you to do this?"

Guo An was startled, then laughed angrily.

"What a shameless official who confuses right and wrong. It was you who first impeached me, dared to slander me, and even tempted His Majesty to send troops, causing Your Majesty to waste people and money. You wanted to make me realize that tens of thousands of soldiers and generals were injured and killed...

Regarding this, you ask all the ministers in the palace, can I say anything that is untrue? "

In the palace, all the courtiers remained silent.

Meng Yi: "..."

Guo An raised his hand towards Zhu Di again, "Your Majesty, please investigate this traitor thoroughly!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then said sternly: "Come here! Take Yushi Mengyi down and give me a strict investigation!"

Outside the hall, two big Han generals suddenly walked in.

Dragging Meng Yi, he walked out.

Meng Yi's expression changed greatly, and she wailed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it is clear that I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but I am absolutely not..."

However, before he finished howling, he was already taken out of the hall.

In the palace, all the courtiers were thankful that they had not committed a crime and randomly searched for charges in order to suppress the Marquis of Dinghai.

As for the two ministers from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, their faces were full of panic and they hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that the minister was bewitched by Meng Yi and followed him to impeach Marquis Dinghai!"

"Your Majesty's knowledge..."
