"What?!" In the capital, in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi listened to the news reported, his hand shook, and the zhu pen suddenly dripped a drop of vermilion ink from the boss, staining a piece of music. Then he got up in a gaffe, snatched the piece from the old eunuch Du Fu's hand, and looked at it carefully.

After a quick glance, a flush suddenly rose on Hongji's fair face, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with a terrifying light. The piece was pinched by him, and the force was so great that even the bones were glowing with a blue and white color.

“…… Su Mo, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, attacked the second prince of Mongolia, Jinong, without authorization...... The banks of the Duitar River were broken, and Jinong walked alone...... Dayan Khan was furious and sent an envoy to the court to hold him accountable......"

He paced back and forth in the main hall, muttering in a low voice, and the expression in his eyes changed, as if he was happy and angry.

The old eunuch Du Fu bent down and bowed his head, standing with his hands down and retreating to the side, without the slightest fluctuation on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

He has been with him for more than ten years, and he knows the master's mind best. Now it seems like I'm angry, but I'm not sure how to be happy.

Mongolia has repeatedly violated the border, burning, killing and looting every year, and the Ming Dynasty has suffered for a long time. However, every time they attacked, they either returned in vain, or they were beaten and returned in embarrassment, and they could only rely on the thick walls of the border passes.

It can be said that since Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has hardly won a battle against Mongolia. The dignified Heavenly Dynasty is really a big loss of face.

Fortunately, several cabinet elders in the court and the central government cleverly designed and secretly laid out the grassland in advance, not only with Duoyan Sanwei to restrain them, but also secretly supported the national teacher Yisi Mayin, as well as countless gold, silver, money and food from the tiles further away, which maintained the balance on the surface.

Emperor Hongzhi is eloquent and strategic, after taking over this rotten plate from the hands of the first emperor, he worked hard to govern the country, diligently cultivated moral government, and seemed to be bent on the domestic officials to govern the people's livelihood, but he was actually a generation of benevolent monarchs. But Du Fu knew that this emperor actually thought about the shame of Xuenatumu Fort all the time. It's just that his own army is not angry, and the national strength is empty and weak, so that idea can only be an idea after all, and he has to hide it in his heart and dare not reveal half of it.

This time, Su Mo was outside the gate, but suddenly broke out such a big victory, Emperor Hongzhi seemed annoyed, but in fact he was overjoyed. Just look at His Majesty's eyebrows that can't help but pick one by one, you can get a glimpse.

"This ignorant thing is just nonsense! Ignoring my cultivation and love for him, hum, a dignified genius, have you read all the sage books in the dog's stomach? This fight has been brought to other people's homes, it is really rude!"

Sure enough, after Emperor Hongzhi paced back and forth for a few steps, he suddenly angrily threw his hand on the imperial case, and scolded angrily. At the same time, his eyes kept glancing at Du Fu and the living room on the side.

The housekeeper didn't realize it, but he still buried his head in the record, wrote hard, and recorded the emperor's words and deeds truthfully.

Du Fu couldn't understand it very well, where is this blame for your meow? Listen to this, it was originally a diplomatic accident between countries, and it was said by Emperor Hongzhi that it was like a child fighting naughtily. Your Majesty's crooked building kung fu, there is no one left.

"Yes, Your Majesty said so. This Xiao Su is known as a genius, but most of these talented people are crazy, and they always only care about the scriptures and holy words when they quarrel with others, and they inevitably ignore the etiquette. Hehe, but Lord Xiao Su is only sixteen after all, and with the teachings of a wise and benevolent lord like Your Majesty, he will become a pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and it will not be long before he becomes a pillar of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Well, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what master and what slave, nothing more than that. Du Fu is also a little disciplined, Emperor Hongzhi said that Su Mo's provocation was a child's naughty fight, he dared to go further, and directly became a quarrel and fight, this is really not the most shameless, only more shameless. But then again, did the eunuch have a lower limit?

Listening to Du Fu's shameless praise, a smile flashed in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, but he snorted coldly on his face, and said angrily: "This bastard thing, I think he is rotten wood and cannot be carved." Sixteen years old, is it still young? I was sixteen years old...... That's it, it is rumored that Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian of the cabinet have moved into the palace to see me, and this matter must be dealt with in the end. ”

Du Fu said yes, turned around and went out to deliver the message. sighed secretly in his heart, this is Jane in the emperor's heart. The emperor actually compared himself with him, which is something that the prince and grandson have never had. This is clearly the treatment of that kid as his own junior.

Thinking so, I secretly made up my mind in my heart that if I faced that Su Neyan in the future, I must be careful when I speak.

The cabinet was already working in the imperial city, not too far from the Qianqing Palace. After the will was conveyed, it only took two moments for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian to arrive.

Entering the side hall, the three of them bowed down to salute. Emperor Hongzhi smiled gently and helped him up, ordered someone to put a brocade stool cushion, and made people serve hot tea. After the three of them thanked and drank the hot tea, they began to get down to business.

"Let's take a look, how to deal with this?" Emperor Hongzhi sat on the brocade couch and motioned to give the recital to the three elders, Du Fu hunched his waist, quickly stepped forward and took the previous piece of music, and respectfully handed it to Liu Jian first.

Liu Jian's face did not move, he calmly opened the piece and browsed it, and then transferred the piece to Li Dongyang.

Generally, the recitals will be sent to the cabinet first, and after the cabinet will review and select them, they will select the ones that need to be presented to the Imperial Palace, and the opinions will be transcribed separately and pasted on the recital.

Then, after the emperor reviewed it, he annotated it with a red pen, and then sent it to the celebrant for review and then transferred back to the cabinet before forming an official document for transmission and execution. This is the so-called vote to be approved.

However, from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, as the power of the eunuchs became more and more powerful, not only the pleats originally drafted by the cabinet vote had to be reviewed by the celebrant supervisor before they were presented to the emperor, and even many pleats would pass through the cabinet and be directly delivered to the celebrant first. This made the civilian clique of the cabinet angry, and at the same time, they had to come up with other opportunities and establish their own unique news channels.

Therefore, Liu Jian and others have actually seen this twist and turn. At this time, after the emperor sent it down, Liu Jian did not have any fluctuations. It's just that he has always been known for his calmness, and his calm appearance didn't make Emperor Hongzhi think much about it.

Seeing that the folds were transferred from Li Dongyang to Xie Qian, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said gently: "What do the three pavilion elders think about this matter?"

Liu Jian and the three of them glanced at each other, and then said goodbye to each other. Because of this news, there was an argument between the three of them in the cabinet. To be precise, the controversy was mainly between Liu Jian and Xie Qian. Li Dongyang, on the other hand, remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, listening to the emperor ask again, Liu Jian was calm and old, and he was still pondering, but Xie Qian couldn't help it, and said with his hand in high spirits: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this piece can be dismissed directly, and there is no need for any hesitation at all." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, looked at the silent Liu Jian and Li Dongyang with interest, and then said with a smile: "What is the reason for Xie Qing, you might as well talk about it." ”

Xie Qian stood with his hands in his hands and said proudly: "The things played in this chapter are all Mongolian words, and the joints are very difficult to argue, and this is one of them; Su Mo and his people, no matter what they are, but after all, they are my Ming envoys, and they represent my Ming court and Ming king." Again, even if what this recital says is true, at this moment Mongolia is begging us to take the initiative to suppress me. Dayan's so-called desire to kill Su Mo and hold our dynasty accountable is actually just a temptation. If he really wants to let him do as he pleases, he will swell his ambitions. In this way, years of hard work and countless expenses will be wiped out. Therefore, the minister thinks that at this time, it is just a strong posture to show it, and there must be no compromise and indulgence! I hope that Your Majesty will think deeply. With that, he bowed again, shook his sleeves and sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, but he was noncommittal, and only turned his head to look at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang: "Xie Qing's words, what do the two Qing families think?"

Liu Jian sighed, got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what Yu Qiao said is afraid that it is unreasonable. However, diplomacy is no trivial matter, and it involves the situation of the two countries, so we should be cautious and cautious, and it is best to be thorough in every detail. The old minister thought that it was impossible to let it play, but it was inappropriate to refuse as Yu Qiao said. ”

Xie Qian was furious when he heard this, so he wanted to stand up and refute. Emperor Hongzhi smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to be restless, and Xie Qian had to sit down with his cheeks puffed out. Emperor Hongzhi smiled at Liu Jian and said: "Liu Aiqing, this left is also you and the right is also you, ambiguous, this is not your style." I heard that Liu Gongju, Li Gongmou, and Xie Gongyou said Kan Kanzhi. Now that Xie Qingzhi has heard it, how do you judge Liu?"

Emperor Hongzhi made this joke, Liu Jian and the three of them were ashamed, and hurriedly got up and humbled. Emperor Hongzhi refused to let go, and hoped that Liu Jian smiled and said nothing.

Liu Jian said angrily: "The minister's meaning, first good words to appease Dayan and clearly indicate our attitude." It is not cover-up or indulgent, but it must be led by us, and after personally finding out the cause of the matter, the two sides will negotiate and resolve it. Neither party may act arbitrarily, otherwise it will be regarded as unilateral repudiation. All the consequences arising from this will be borne by the party who broke the contract, and it is not unforeseeable!"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed, he looked at him deeply, nodded and didn't speak, but a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes. This old courtier is indeed steady and old, but he is a little weak. According to Liu Jian, although it is the most thoughtful method, it will not fall into the face of Daming, but it can maintain the covenant between the two sides to the greatest extent. But how could the Mongolian wolf be so honest and obedient because of his ambitions?

Now that Su Mo is on the other side's territory, if he wants to find a reason to kill Su Mo first, what can Da Ming do? In the final analysis, Liu Jian's method is just to cover his ears and steal the bell, but in fact, he is just throwing Su Mo as a sacrifice to appease Dayan. It's nothing more than this, and in the end it became a fight between the two countries, and Yu Daming's face looked better.

To tell the truth, Emperor Hongzhi didn't really value Su Mo's life or death. But he just felt aggrieved and unwilling, so after a little groaning, he looked at Li Dongyang again, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Li Dongyang smiled slightly, got up and saluted, and then said a word unhurriedly. But as soon as this sentence came out, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian all looked strange......
