But this King Yan...
His idea was exactly the same as those civil officials. He wanted to help Marquis Shenwu when the situation in Zhenbei Pass was serious, so that he could gain the favor of the old marquis.
In the future, when an uprising breaks out, even if I don’t get the help of Marquis Shenwu, at least I won’t be targeted.
Without the Marquis of Shenwu, the imperial court would be much weaker militarily.
I have to say that my younger brother is really smart.
In the original time and space.
The other party did not do that at all.
However, Wei Yunyi could agree with this. After all, the original owner did not let Marquis Shenwu go to the northern border at that time.
Of course, these are not what he needs to consider now. What he needs to do now is how to deal with the censors in front of him.
Wei Yunyi knew very well that these dozens of imperial censors were only there to pave the way. Now everyone in the court knew about the affair between Prince Yan and Marquis Shenwu, and people were in a panic for a while.
Everyone was afraid that King Yan and Marquis Shenwu would do something.
Therefore, he must find a way to curb this trend.
In fact, when the Prince of Yan sent troops to Zhenbei Pass, any wise ruler would not sit idly by, because it was too sensitive. To exaggerate a little, it might very likely cause the instability of the country.
But Wei Yunyi is different. He is not a wise ruler, but a foolish one. Moreover, his intention is to cause turmoil in the court and hinder the country's destiny.
So they hoped that King Yan would do more, after all, he was someone who would rebel sooner or later.
I was afraid before that this good brother would choose to play it safe.
In recent years, he has done nothing but stayed quietly in Yan.
But unexpectedly, the other party couldn't help himself, and even the Marquis of Shenwu had the courage to make contact.
Now, the censors, and even all the civil and military officials in the court, are targeting the Prince of Yan.
I feel that the court must express its position at this time.
To intimidate that vassal king.
Of course, there were sporadic reports of Prince Yan returning to Beijing, but they were relatively rare because many people understood that it was impossible.
Shaking his head, Wei Yunyi stopped thinking and turned to look at the censors who were still making noise. He immediately said, "Alright, everyone, shut up!"
With just one sentence, everyone present fell silent and lowered their heads.
Seeing this, he stood up and continued, "What do you mean by Prince Yan showing goodwill to the old marquis? You are just judging others by your own standards. Prince Yan is doing this for the sake of the country. You all know that the grassland army is approaching. There are already hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed outside Zhenbei Pass, and the Ministry of War has received news that the grassland army is continuing to increase its troops."
"Don't you understand what this means? They want to break through the border of our Great Wei. Now that it has come to this, you should consider whether the King of Yan has other intentions. In my opinion, the King of Yan has no intention at all. He just wants to help the old marquis and relieve the pressure on the northern border."
"As everyone knows, the war horses raised in Yan are superior to those on the grasslands. With this batch of war horses, both the combat effectiveness and morale of Zhenbei Pass will be greatly improved. This will also give our soldiers greater confidence in guarding the border!"
"Every one of you only thinks of the worst, not the best. I think you sour Confucians are just alarmists!"
Having said that, Wei Yunyi felt that the atmosphere was about right and slammed the table.
Suddenly, all the censors present were shocked.
They all knelt down.
Note.
Wei Yunyi is not an emperor in name only, who is marginalized by his ministers. He is the one who truly holds real power. Even though he has only been on the throne for three years, he is still the supreme emperor!
As for the censors, they were tough but they also understood the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. When the emperor was angry, they dared not stand there.
Of course, he knelt down, but he still didn't close his mouth in the end.
"But Your Majesty, no matter what, the court must give the Prince of Yan a warning, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the princes do have the power to mobilize troops, but the Prince of Yan did not inform the court of this matter, and the destination was Zhenbei Pass. This is truly a crime of disrespect."
"I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will issue an edict to reprimand the King of Yan and inform the old marquis that there are some things that cannot be crossed."
After all, Marquis Shenwu is Marquis Shenwu, and he has made great military achievements.
Even the scholars in the Censorate did not dare to call him by his name, as his reputation was well-earned and he was the pillar of the court.
But after hearing these words, Wei Yunyi immediately laughed and said, "Reprimand the King of Yan? The King of Yan reinforced Zhenbei Pass for the sake of the country, and you actually want to reprimand him? And you even informed the Marquis of Shenwu, who fought bloody battles on the border, just using some horses to defend his country, and you actually want me to warn him?"
"Then what have I become? A tyrant who doesn't understand reason and can't distinguish right from wrong? It's simply ridiculous!"
joke.
He refused to reprimand the King of Yan.
The other party has finally taken action. How could I possibly dampen the enthusiasm of that good brother at this time?
What if I scare my good brother? Wouldn't my plan to ruin the country's destiny be hindered again?
No, absolutely not.
So Wei Yunyi sneered and looked around at everyone, saying: "Not only will I not reprimand the King of Yan, I will also reward him and reward the Marquis of Shenwu and the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles in the front!"
"You've dedicated yourself to the court and the country, and this is all you deserve. Instead, you're all spouting alarmist rhetoric. Wang Jin, pass on my decree: all officials of the Censorate will be fined three months' salary!"
After saying this, he turned around and left the imperial study.
As for the officials of the Censorate, they were all stunned.
