Zhu Houxi knew that Wang Yue and Wang Yangming went to explore the defense of Xifengkou, but he didn't expect that the two of them would catch a few Tartars and come back!

That's a great thing! It's just timely rain, the waste of the court, even the little prince can't figure out who the little prince is, the Tartars called, so they can only order the guards everywhere to strictly guard against it.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just by relying on rough skin and thick flesh to resist?

Anyway, the ability of the Tartars to attack the city is not strong, and the loss is only the common people, and they will not lose a piece of meat.

The problem is that Zhu Houxi doesn't want to do this.

I really don't want to.

Although he has not been the emperor for a long time, he also knows that he is the lord of the world, and people ride his face, slap his mouth wildly, and turn a little white face into a pig's head.

Who can bear it?

And there is a hidden knot in this, Zhu Houzhao has a very bad reputation, but he still patrols the border with the leading troops, and in the battle of Yingzhou, he has achieved a great victory.

Zhu Houxi felt that he couldn't lose to his cousin, and he had to fight for his breath.

With these thoughts, Zhu Houxi was naturally overjoyed, and he immediately asked Huang Jin to invite Wang Yangming and Wang Yue up, these two people were covered in dust, and their robes were still stained with dirt and blood, and they didn't care about changing them.

After the salute of the king, Zhu Houxi couldn't wait to ask: "Wang Shangshu, how is the enemy's situation?" Are the Tartars planning to attack the capital? ”

Wang Yangming was a little tired, and when he returned from Lijing Road, especially after meeting the Tartars, he didn't rest at all, and his brain kept spinning all the time.

"Your Majesty, according to the torture of the ministers, this time it was Bu Chi who led the men and horses to attack the Ming Dynasty, he is the eldest son and eldest grandson of Dayan Khan!"

As soon as Wang Yangming opened his mouth, he solved Zhu Houxi's confusion, and also slapped the ministers in the mouth.

"This Bu Chi should have inherited the throne of the Khan, but he was young, and the throne was snatched away by his uncle. The year before, his uncle died, and he regained the throne. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded frequently, "So, this Bu Chi is not old?" ”

"That's true." Wang Yangming muttered: "Bu Chi snatched his uncle's throne, and his foundation was unstable, so he was eager to fight, and wanted to consolidate his throne through victory. And last winter, the blizzard caused a disaster, and the grassland livestock suffered heavy losses, almost half of them were frozen to death, and if they didn't loot the Ming Dynasty, they wouldn't be able to survive. ”

Wang Yangming introduced the situation, and Zhu Houxi gradually relaxed a lot, and finally didn't have to smear his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, discuss how to deal with it!"

Qiao Yu, who had just lost face, immediately stood up, this felt that he was an old soldier and could not be robbed of the limelight by a junior.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu's words are already very clear. Bu Chi is just a thief, embarrassed and tired, with few troops and mediocre combat power. If the imperial court mobilizes a large army, it will force him to break the net and fight the trapped beast. Therefore, the old minister thought that it was better to stick to the fortress and wait and see what happened. When they are running out of food and grass and retreating, the imperial court is sending troops to attack, and they will definitely be able to win a complete victory. ”

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he was not without a look of pride, who would object to such a safe and reliable method?

No, absolutely nothing!

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Yang Tan, the head of the household department, stood up, "Your Majesty, what Lord Qiao said is extremely true, now the treasury is empty, and the grain and grass are not enough, so it is only appropriate to defend, not to use troops." ”

After he finished speaking, the university scholar Mao Ji also stood up, "Your Majesty, now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, and there are many things that have not yet been resolved, it is really not appropriate to make a big move." It's better to watch from the wall, with the Tartar temperament, sooner or later there will be infighting. The imperial court can surrender without a fight! ”

The three important ministers all say this.

Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Tinghe again, "What about the elder pavilion?" ”

Yang Tinghe bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the little prince took advantage of the chaos to enter the court, and he has the heart to despise my Daming." And the imperial court is indeed difficult, even if it wants to send troops to fight, there is no food and grass salary, let alone elite soldiers, in case of defeat, the consequences are unimaginable. At this point, I still ask Your Majesty to decide how to deal with it. ”

This is the mastery of Master Shoufu's Tai Chi skills, it sounds like he supports those people, but it is mentioned that Da Ming is despised, as for what to do, please ask the emperor to decide.

Perfect words, flawless.

But the question is what to do, and there is still no answer.

Wang Yue, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't listen anymore. Since Wang Yangming entered the court, he has been hidden and unwilling to charge. But this time, seeing the Tartars looting, completely angered Wang Yue.

How far away from the capital, the Tartars dared to come and loot, and there were only three people, if it weren't for Wang Yangming, they wouldn't have been able to keep them!

Shame!

Although Wang Yue's goal is not high, he doesn't want to be a cold-blooded bastard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all said that the Ming Dynasty was difficult, why did you forget it, and the Tartars were also difficult! Even they are much more difficult than Da Ming! Wang Yue said: "Yingzhou is a great victory, and the Tartar has been severely injured and has not yet recovered. Bu Chi's uncle and nephew fought for power, killing each other, weakening their forces. Today, on the steppe, 30,000 households on the left and 30,000 households on the right are separated from each other, which is far from the state of being united with each other in the days of Dayan Khan. ”

"As long as the imperial court can attack bravely, even if it is a small victory, it can rub the morale of the Tartars, and then cause their civil strife. But if you give up the military and civilians of the Nine Sides, let the Tartars burn the woods. After the looting, Bu Chi's status will definitely be greatly improved, and at that time, it will be the real endless trouble! ”

Wang Yue's-for-tat confrontation made several ministers particularly angry.

Qiao Yu glared at Wang Yue angrily, "This is a military matter, what do you know?" How dare you talk nonsense, in case something goes wrong, can you afford it? ”

Wang Yue raised his head and said, "Lord Tianguan, I went to Xifengkou, and I personally interrogated the three captives and asked for confessions from them. I didn't do anything great, but it's better than being ashamed to talk about it behind closed doors! ”

"You!"

Qiao Yu was so angry that his face turned white, he was an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and his qualifications were no worse than Yang Tinghe's. Now that he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and has the power of the world, this Wang Yue dares to talk to him, it's damned!

"Your Majesty, in the affairs of the military state, it is natural that safety should come first. Defeat before you expect to win. How can you fight with the Tartars like a broken household? If there is a mistake in the capital and the holy driver is shocked, Wang Yue is just a small official, even if he kills him, it will be difficult to recover! ”

This old guy is really welcome.

Just when Wang Yue was about to ridicule each other, suddenly Wang Yangming took a step forward.

"Qiao Tianguan, if you think that Wang Yue's official position is too small to afford, then what should I do?"

Qiao Yu turned his head abruptly and said angrily: "Wang Shouren, what do you mean?" ”

Wang Yangming bowed deeply at Zhu Houxi and threw Qiao Yu aside.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars have eaten the new monarch to ascend the throne this time, and they want to take advantage of the fire to rob. If you can't meet the head-on attack, you are afraid that you will end up in trouble and wars will continue in the future. The minister thought that he should send troops to show His Majesty's determination and boost the morale of the army. Let the people of the world dare not underestimate the big tomorrow. Only in this way can the war be stopped by war! ”

Wang Yue nodded frequently, worthy of being Yang Minggong, he is powerful.

"Your Majesty, the minister also means this, you should fight a battle to boost the prestige of the country!" Wang Yue said loudly.

There are two people in charge of the battle, and the others are in charge, what should I do?

Just when Zhu Houxi was groaning, the university scholar Mao Ji spoke again, "Your Majesty, fighting a war is not a matter of two sentences, such as the treasury is empty, you can't even take out a tael of silver, there is no shortage of grain, grass and ordnance, and there is such a big gap in the forbidden army in Beijing...... The minister thought that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this battle could not be fought! ”

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to kneel, and the other ministers, Qiao Yu, Jin Xianmin, Mao Cheng, and Yang Tan, knelt down in a large area, all of them were high-ranking officials in the court, and they were huge.

I want you to know what Zhu Houxi is, what is the desire of the people!

The little emperor was silent, and the courtiers were crying poor, in fact, he had a sum of money that had just been credited to his account, but he was just not very reluctant! After a long time, Zhu Houxi said quietly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I can come up with money, can I fight this battle?" ”

Yang Tinghe hasn't reacted yet, money? Where did the money come from? The little emperor entered Beijing almost bare-bottomed, where did he get the money?

Zhu Houxi suddenly gritted his teeth and said with a smug smile: "I have exactly more than one million taels in my hand...... It was left by my ancestors, and I plan to hand it over to the Ministry of War to win this battle! ”
