Chapter 241 Discussion of personal expedition
Cheng De said directly: "I want to personally conquer Huangzhou and have a fight with Chen Youliang in Huangzhou. If possible, it would be best to defeat Chen Youliang and then pacify Chen Han. I don't know what you all think, dear friends. ?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Qinzheng Hall fell into silence, a deathly silence.

Seeing this, Cheng De couldn't help but frown subconsciously.

"Why, my dear friends, don't you agree?" Cheng De's tone was calm and his eyes were firm.

Li Shanchang knew that he had to speak at this time, and as the head of civil servants, he had to say something.

If nothing is said, then if the news about His Majesty's personal expedition spreads to the public, there is no telling what will happen.Perhaps, they will talk about themselves, saying that they have failed in their duties as ministers.

However, His Majesty seems so determined. If he gives advice, His Majesty will definitely be offended.

Li Shanchang weighed the pros and cons for a while, then bowed directly and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs long-term consideration. Now that your Majesty is the king of a country, and the battlefield is such a dangerous place, with your current status, It is no longer suitable to be trapped in this place. Your Majesty's safety is related to the country of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, your Majesty's move will also plunge the Ming Dynasty into turmoil, which is really not a wise move. I hope that your Majesty can proceed from the overall situation and take a long-term approach. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, the other civil servants and generals in the Qinzheng Hall bowed and saluted: "I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

Cheng De watched the scene in front of him quietly, silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue seemed a little tense.

The civil servants and generals in Qinzheng Hall had their hearts in their throats, and they were in a state of confusion.

They were all secretly wondering why His Majesty suddenly wanted to go on a personal expedition again?
Could it be that some treacherous minister has deceived Your Majesty?

But thinking about it carefully, His Majesty seems to be quite normal recently.

So, why did His Majesty insist on conducting the expedition in person?
Moreover, Your Majesty, your Majesty, doesn’t he understand the horror of the battlefield?

If something bad happens to Your Majesty, will Ming Dynasty still be the same vibrant Ming Dynasty?
Regarding this, all the ministers in the Qinzheng Hall were unsure.

Therefore, they all thought that they must find ways to stop His Majesty.

It's just that they are destined to be disappointed.

next moment.

Cheng De said with a cold face: "I have thought twice about conquering Huangzhou in person. I am not discussing this matter with you, but informing you. During the days when I am not in Nanjing City, I will Government affairs will be left to Li Shanchang, the chief ministers of various ministries and the cabinet ministers to discuss and handle."

"If you encounter an urgent matter and cannot make a decision, let it go for a while and deal with it after I return in triumph. If the matter is urgent, then deal with it first and then deal with it. Solving the matter first is the top priority."

"Fang Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, please don't leave after you retire from the court. I will ask Cheng Ru to invite you to the Minister's study later."

When Fang Ming heard Cheng De call his name, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Wei Chen, obey the order!" Fang Ming lowered his head, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Under His Majesty's sharp gaze, Fang Ming found that he was not as firm as he had imagined, and he flinched a little.

As for Li Shanchang and others, they still remained silent.

But Cheng De was no longer willing to waste any more time. He was already worried about Ma Xiuying, so he waved his hand and said: "In three days, I will go out in person. I hope that all of you, dear friends, can work together and don't let me have any worries." This time I personally conquer Huangzhou and I will definitely win. Dear friends, just wait for my good news in Nanjing City!"

After saying that, Cheng De left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Cheng Ru wanted to follow.Unexpectedly, at this time, he was surrounded by Li Shanchang and others. Seeing this, Cheng Ru looked solemn.

Cheng Ru did not dare to be careless when dealing with Li Shanchang and others.

In Cheng Ru's opinion, Li Shanchang and others are very evil-minded, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit they dug.

After Li Shanchang came to Cheng Ru, a worried look appeared on his face: "Your Majesty is going to personally conquer Huangzhou this time, and all of you are very worried. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in your hands, it is becoming more and more powerful. However, On this battlefield, swords have no eyes. Your Majesty went to the front line in person, which made us even more worried. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without Your Majesty, because with His Majesty here, the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. I wonder what Eunuch Cheng thinks? "

After hearing this, Cheng Ru's expression changed.

Cheng Ru narrowed his eyes slightly and pierced Li Shanchang like a sharp dagger: "Bold, Li Shangshu speaks carefully! Your Majesty has the blessing of God. As a minister, how can you criticize your Majesty's life and death? It is just a meeting between us. If an outsider is present, there will be no return. I thought Li Shangshu was cursing His Majesty! We understand what Li Shangshu meant. However, Li Shangshu must not forget that Your Majesty is always Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is the master of the Ming Dynasty. As His Majesty’s ministers, we naturally want to be with Your Majesty. We stand on the same line. Now that His Majesty has expressed his stance, there is no room for turning things around. The most urgent thing is to cooperate with His Majesty in his personal expedition."

"Li Shangshu and several other ministers, I don't know. Do you agree with what I said?"

Everyone present was silent in response.

Yes, His Majesty has made a decision, and his attitude is extremely firm.Although they had stopped His Majesty before, looking at it now, it seemed that they had stopped His Majesty before, but in fact they had not succeeded at all. If they insist on confronting His Majesty, I am afraid that there will be no room for them in this court. After all, , it is not an ordinary thing to offend His Majesty.

Everyone seemed to have a clear understanding in their hearts, but they still felt extremely unwilling.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Cheng Ru shook his head: "I hope you all will take care of yourself, so I won't disturb you all. Farewell!"

Seeing that Cheng Ru was about to leave, everyone moved out of the way and watched Cheng Ru leave.

At this time, Li Shanchang suddenly saw Li Sanqi was about to leave the hall, so he quickly walked up to Li Sanqi and said: "General Li, among all the people in the court now, who has the most hope of persuading His Majesty to turn back? , there is no more suitable candidate than General Li. I wonder if General Li can give some advice in front of His Majesty?"

In Li Shanchang's view, Li Sanqi was once His Majesty's sworn brother and they had a close friendship. Perhaps the key to whether His Majesty will turn back lies with Li Sanqi.

However, Li Shanchang was disappointed.

When Li Sanqi heard Li Shanchang's words, he glanced sideways at Li Shanchang and said with an unhappy face: "Li Shangshu, didn't Li Shangshu listen to what Eunuch Cheng just said? Now that His Majesty has decided to personally conquer Huangzhou, this matter There is no room for turning around. Now Li Shangshu should think more about how to follow His Majesty’s wishes and win this battle properly. Otherwise, if Li Shangshu continues like this, he may be hated by Your Majesty. When the time comes, the court will still Can you tolerate Li Shangshu? That’s it for now. Li Shangshu wants to take care of himself. I’ll take my leave!”

Li Sanqi quickly left the Qinzheng Hall with a swift step.

The other generals naturally followed Li Sanqi and left quickly.

Soon, only civil servants were left in the entire Qinzheng Hall.

However, everyone present had solemn expressions.

"My lords, what should we do now?" Luo Guanzhong suddenly spoke cautiously.

Li Shanchang sighed heavily, glanced around at everyone present, and said helplessly: "Everyone, please let your Majesty advise you to leave it at this! Your Majesty is capable of conquering cities with military force, and is able to stabilize and stabilize the country with literary skills. With your Majesty's talents, I think , even if His Majesty personally conquers Huangzhou, it will definitely be auspicious! We should not worry too much here. We hope that everyone will do their part and stabilize the situation. His Majesty will personally conquer Huangzhou in three days. Before that, , we will prepare the matter for His Majesty’s personal expedition so that His Majesty will have no worries, do you think so?”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally nodded helplessly, agreeing with Li Shanchang's statement in their hearts.

Afterwards, Li Shanchang and others left the Qinzheng Hall one after another until the Qinzheng Hall was empty.

After walking out of the palace, Li Shanchang looked solemn, turned around, took a deep look in the direction of the palace, and left without looking back.

At the same time, Li Shanchang thought to himself: Your Majesty is so self-centered, how many people will dare to die to remonstrate with you in the future after your Majesty calms down the world?

Hey.
