Today is not the day of Wangshu, so the court meeting is still only in Qianqingmen, and only a few important members of the cabinet and the six ministries participate. In addition, because of the war, Wu Xun was also recruited for inquiry.

The British Duke Zhang Mao stood at the head of the class, listening to everyone discussing some trivial matters with the emperor, but he didn't know where to fly for a long time.

Thinking about the task that the little bastard gave him, he couldn't help but feel a little big. Isn't this leading oneself to the path of traitors? Is it true that one is from it or not?

Thinking that that little bastard's ability to do things is first-class, to be honest, the old man is really a little shocked. According to his heart, it would be best to ignore Su Mo's words.

But thinking about the friendship between the two families, and thinking about the entrustment of his brother when he left, Zhang Mao's firm mind was no longer so firm.

It's just that, I must have owed that little demon star in my last life. Now I will fight but give up the name of this life and return him. Fortunately, the kid swore that he would definitely have a back hand to clean up, and he would not be sacrificed in vain, so he would believe him once.

It's just that what the kid said about the back hand, but he didn't want to say it even if he was killed. The gods are mysterious, and they must not be revealed. Listen to what his little bastard has to say, and won't let himself die in vain. Sacrifice, the special Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, why is this going to be sacrificed?

Hey, no, isn't that kid's idea, is it to sacrifice yourself first, and then find a scene for the old man? I'll go to your uncle's! If you really sacrifice, even if you kid finds a field for the old man, it's useless!

The kid...... It can't be so unreliable, right...... The old man's heart is in such a mess.

“…… Old country, old country!"

A call came from his ears, and in an instant he was awakened from his state of wandering in the world. Turning his head blankly, he saw that the person who woke him up looked in a certain direction: "Your Majesty asked you." ”

Zhang Mao was suddenly excited, and hurriedly looked up, and met the smiling eyes of Emperor Hongzhi.

"Ah, that...... Your Majesty Shengming. Shaking the sleeves of his robe, the old man bowed solemnly. Everyone next to him looked weird, and they couldn't hold back their laughter.

Emperor Hongzhi rolled his eyes in a straight heart. This old rascal, an old scoundrel, why can't he change his ruffian nature at any time? He dares to be distracted at my court meeting, and he will pretend to fool me when he comes, do you hear what I say?

"Ahem, old man, Your Majesty is asking you what you think about the border matter. Ningxia and Datong have different words......" someone next to him reminded Zhang Mao in a low voice again.

Zhang Mao sighed, turned his eyes and looked around, only to find that there were two more people in the hall at some point. If you look at it closely, hey, you know, it's all acquaintances. One is Yang Yiqing, who was sent to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo two years ago to supervise Ma's political affairs, and the other is Ma Sheng, a general and deputy chief soldier of Datong.

Well, yes, I heard that they are coming back this time, and Your Majesty is going to inquire about the Tatar Koubian at the border pass, has this already begun?

"Hey, Ying Ning, General Ma, you're back. I worked hard all the way, and when I turned around, the old man was the east, and he chatted well. Oops, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss the ...... "as if he had discovered a new world, Zhang Mao looked embarrassed, and he made an appointment on the spot...... Uh, no, it's a wine appointment.

The ministers are so dizzy. Old Guogong, let's have a court meeting, what about a court meeting! Do you dare to wait until the next court to talk about it? The civil officials looked sideways, and the martial artists turned their heads to look sideways. We don't know this old thing, Tainyima is shameless.

Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly and arched his hand, and did not say much. It wasn't the first day that he and Zhang Mao had known each other, and they had long understood the temperament of this old scoundrel, and they knew that it was useless to say anything. I really talked to him, but I didn't know what moths were going to come out again, so I just hung him to finish.

But Ma Sheng is different. is also in the army, and according to his resume, he is still under Zhang Mao. Yang Yiqing can not say anything, but he doesn't have that qualification.

At that moment, he respectfully greeted each other with a military salute, and said respectfully: "Yes, return to the grandfather, and the last general will return with the edict, and present this fire to His Majesty in person." ”

He didn't accept the wine stubble, but he deliberately said the reason for his return. Obviously, it hints at Zhang Mao's response and sells it quietly.

Zhang Mao sighed, suddenly his face was full of anger, clapped his hands and said angrily: "Fire sieve thief, dare to come to attack me again?" Your Majesty, the old minister asks for an order, and my 100,000 soldiers will go out to meet the battle, and they will behead the head of the thief chieftain to sacrifice our emperor!"

All the courtiers rolled their eyes in unison, this old rascal was really shameless to the extreme! Just now, he didn't look like he had woken up, and he was asking for wine and doing homely things, which was simply a great disrespect to His Majesty.

But Nima was about to wave his troops out of the jam again in a blink of an eye, and he was a horse leather shroud, and he would not break Loulan's oath and not return it. Your uncle, can you fake it any more? Can you act seriously and act? It's really shameless!

Also, we are discussing the real situation at the border here, and we haven't even figured out the situation on the Tatar side, so what kind of battle are you fighting? Are you still with 100,000 soldiers, I'm sorry! Are you always 100,000? 100,000 soldiers, rampant all over the world? Anyway, you are also the respect of the country, can you ask for Bilian?

Emperor Hongzhi was also angry, so he simply followed his words, wanting to see how far this old thing could go. At the moment, he pretended to groan, and said: "The old man is brave and good at fighting, and his heart is very comforting. In this way, according to the request of the old Guogong, let's come up with a detailed charter with the household department and the military department. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mao was dumbfounded. Before he could come back to the taste, Zhou Jing, the secretary of the household department, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, had already blown up.

"Your Majesty, by all means! Now that the military situation is unknown, it is not the work of a wise man to start a war lightly, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice and withdraw your order. ”

"Your Majesty, please ask the old minister to beg for bones. The old minister is ashamed of his love for His Majesty, and he really can't get the money and food for the 100,000 army to fight, and the old minister is incompetent, so please resign the old minister. ”

Ma Wensheng just fell back, but he just stood up to his face and refuted the emperor's will without hesitation. Zhou Jing directly flipped the table, and wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, please beg for bones. And he didn't hide it at all, saying that he was incompetent and couldn't get the money and food for the army to fight.

It's called crisp and neat.

The other ministers also spoke out against it at this time, and there was a sudden uproar in the court.

Emperor Hongzhi was not annoyed, turned his head to look at Zhang Mao, sighed and said: "Old Aiqing, how is this good?

All the ministers were silent, all of them looked at Zhang Mao, and they laughed secretly in their stomachs. This is the essence of the human spirit, how can you not see the emperor's true thoughts? It is obvious that he is angry with this old thing, this is to treat his body in the way of others, and he is also deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"This ......" Zhang Mao glared, pulling his beard vigorously with both hands. After a half-ring, he suddenly turned around and said angrily at Ma Sheng: "Bastard! Why haven't you found out the enemy's situation until now? Then what kind of funeral have you come to report? Before the enemy's situation is clear, you shouted and begged to send troops, have you read all the military books in the dog's stomach?"

Ma Sheng was stunned, and he felt this injustice in his heart. Isn't it true that I'm here to report the military situation, and when will I shout again to send troops? When I come up, I shout that there are 100,000 soldiers, and it's not you who behead the enemy's chieftain.

Ma Sheng was about to cry, but Zhang Mao ignored it, turned around and hugged his fist at Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "Your Majesty, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." There is also a saying that you should not raise an army out of anger. Therefore, the old minister thought that it was the best policy to think carefully and ask the enemy before discussing it. ”

He said solemnly, full of exhortation, as if the one who opened his mouth and shouted that he would take 100,000 soldiers and wipe out the thief chieftain was another person entirely.

All the courtiers were dumbfounded, and the martial artists also covered their faces. How shameless does this Nima have to be to be able to beat him with such righteous words?

Emperor Hongzhi was also out of breath and crooked his nose. This Nima said as if I had just been impulsive and reckless. Your uncle, you old scoundrel, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, Su Mo's kid can come together with you, it's really not for nothing.

Why did I think of that bastard boy again? Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly, put his wandering thoughts away, and glared fiercely at the old scoundrel below, finally too lazy to entangle with him again.

As an emperor, a small knock is enough. If you want to be entangled any longer, you will lose your identity. The old thing seems to be a scoundrel, but isn't it a kind of subdued softness in disguise?

"The two Aiqing will explain the situation carefully to the old man, so that the old man can understand the enemy's situation well, so as not to misjudge and misjudge the state affairs!" He didn't pay attention to Zhang Mao, and only turned his head to Yang Yiqing and Ma Sheng. It's just that at the end of the sentence "I missed state affairs", the tone was deliberately aggravated, and the meaning was self-evident.

The mutual ridicule between the two monarchs and ministers has come to an end at this point. Yang Yiqing and Ma Shengyu respected the order, and then told each of them the previous situation again.

Zhang Mao was also honest this time, listened carefully, and interrupted from time to time to ask a few words. It wasn't until the two of them finished speaking separately that they suddenly showed a sudden look.

The situation brought back by both sides was completely different. Yang Yiqing said that the changes in Ningxia and Ma Yin were referring to its internal aspects. Just as Mongolia had spies in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also had spies in the grasslands.

Since the summer of the Yisi Ma Division, he suddenly ordered to recruit the heads of the various departments to gather in the king's tent, and a few days later, after the return of the various departments, they began to move to the junction with the Ming border pass. It's just that this kind of migration is not like a soldier, but more as a herdsman. It's like ...... to be exact. Hmm, it's like a fair. That's right, it's to catch the market.

As for Datong, it is completely a posture of wanting to attack the enemy. The army of the commander of the fire screen was pressed under the Datong Pass, and the military camp stretched for more than ten miles, and the horns were all day long, and the sound of killing was loud.

The only strange thing is that although there are always small teams of men and horses to provoke in front of the pass, they are all small forces in the end, and there is no real strong fortress. Speaking of which, it seems that he is deliberately showing off his might and scaring people.

Chen Rui, the chief soldier of Datong and Pingjiangbo, was deeply afraid of it, and he didn't dare to send scouts to investigate. Only repeatedly ordered to guard the city, and at the same time constantly complained to the capital. This is the previous document, so that the capital was shocked three times a day, and rumors spread everywhere.

Zhang Mao's cloudy old eyes flashed with enlightenment, others may still be in the clouds and can't figure out the situation, but he is different. Because he has a nephew named Su Mo, and this nephew's fiancée happens to have an organization called Enmeng......
