A few days after the beginning of the summer, the cabinet received the emperor's imperial letter.

On this day, it was time to speak on the day of the feast, and Sun Chengzong took all the lecturers to wait in the Maoqin Palace, and he did not see the emperor come for a long time.

However, I saw a celebrant eunuch running from the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and under the stunned gaze of a group of great sages, he pronounced the emperor's holy edict loudly:

"I've been feeling dizzy and bored in my daily life, and I'm going to talk about it for the time being, and the resumption date is undecided, and the gentlemen know."

Zhu Youxiao wanted to "drop out of school", and the reason was simple and crude, just two words - "uncomfortable".

On the face, Sun Chengzong and others had to show a loyal heart to the emperor who was "often dizzy", and deeply greeted how the dragon body was.

As soon as the eunuch left, Sun Chengzong and other Japanese speakers gathered together.

They all knew that it would be useless to persuade the emperor at this time, and the best way was to inform the cabinet scholars and ask them to come up with an idea.

Moreover, the cabinet was notified in time, and in the end, even if they really stopped talking about the feast day, it had nothing to do with their daily lectures.

Soon after, the cabinet members gathered in the signing room and talked non-stop.

Liu Yixiao seemed a little angry.

"At the end of last year, the emperor said that the weather was very cold, and the feast day was postponed to this year, and it has only been a few months since the beginning of spring, and he said that he was dizzy..."

"The emperor has not been doing well recently, and he has never seen a regular time."

Hearing him say this, Yu's ministers all looked at this side, and the second assistant Han Ying glared at Liu Yixiao even more.

The latter realized that he had lost his words, so he snorted coldly and said no more.

Although he gave Han Ying face on his face, his heart was still full of complaints, if the little emperor's inertia was left unchecked, sooner or later, he would become the second Shenzong Emperor.

Regarding the decision to temporarily drop out of the feast, Gu Bingqian and Wang Zaijin naturally knew a little bit about it, and both of them were doing things for the emperor, so it was inconvenient to say more.

The remaining Donglin members of the cabinet discussed it, and finally handed over the decision to Shoufu Ye Xianggao.

You are the first assistant, and the emperor's speech on the feast day cannot be abolished, so you can give a resolution.

Ye Xianggao has long regretted coming to be the first assistant, and now he has been pushed out by his colleagues in Donglin to be the decision-maker, and there is nothing he can do.

I only heard him get up and write a note tremblingly.

Not long after, a eunuch replied to the cabinet of ministers on Zhu Youxiao's temporary withdrawal from the feast to the Xinuan Pavilion.

As soon as I came to the outside of the pavilion, I saw the steward of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chaofu, coming out.

"What's the matter, the emperor is dizzy and uncomfortable, and he is resting, what must he do now?"

The little eunuch also scolded the cabinet ministers who had nothing to do and were unhappy a few times in his heart, and then said:

"This is played by the elder of the pavilion..."

Hearing that it was Ye Xianggao's recital, Wang Chaofu also knew that he couldn't stop it, his eyes rolled, and he didn't receive it in his hand, but he let go of his position and said:

"Then you can quickly submit it!"

The little eunuch didn't know why Wang Chaofu did this, he just put this recital into the Xinuan Pavilion with a nervous face, and saw that the emperor was leaning back on the chair and squinting.

He bowed, handed over the notebook, and said:

"University scholar Ye Xiang Gao: Lixia drops out and speaks, the emperor is in Yan leisurely in Henan, especially should be diligent in singing the ancestral precepts, reading the classics, and not slacking."

Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to pay attention, and asked again: "Who is on this book?" ”

"Cabinet University Scholar Ye Xianggao." The little eunuch's hand shook inadvertently.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him lightly, without a hint of looking at it, and said lightly: "I know." ”

Under the eyes of Wang Chaofu, the little eunuch respectfully presented the book to the imperial case, and retreated as if he had been amnestied.

After he left, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the notebook on the imperial case and snorted coldly.

Now the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers who came to aid Liao have been recalled to Gyeonggi by their own edict and are stationed in the Tongzhou area.

The three leaders Qin Bangping, Tong Zhonghua, and Chen Ce should be in Beijing today.

......

In the spring of the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led tens of thousands of Houjin troops to attack.

You Shigong, the general soldier of Puhe, and He Shixian, the deputy general of Liaodong, were killed in battle, Puhe and Shenyang fell one after another, and tens of thousands of Liao people were forced to become slaves of the Jurchens.

But later, Nurhachi, who took Shenyang lightly, suddenly turned around and left.

At first, even Xiong Tingbi didn't understand what was going on, and then the news came out after the Ming army took advantage of the retreat of the Jin army to recover Shenyang.

It turned out that it was the one named Mao Wenlong who led his troops to attack Jiannu's lair, and the number of slaves and thieves was not large, so they could only retreat.

Nowadays, Xiong Tingbi is the economic strategy of Liaodong, and the newly appointed governor is Hong Chengchou.

The two don't have any friendship, but they can maintain similar opinions on the strategy of dealing with Jiannu.

Even if there are different opinions, Hong Chengchou can basically do not hinder or contain him, and let Xiong Tingbi come and go freely.

Of course, he also made it clear beforehand.

If you, Xiong Tingbi, advocate and do something wrong, causing the situation in Liaodong to overturn, I, Hong Chengchou, still have to impeach you and defend myself.

Hong Chengchou went out of the customs and patrolled Liaodong, always leading a group of troops and supplies, this group of men and horses was transferred from Xuanfu Town by the imperial court, and there was some combat effectiveness.

The general who commanded this group of men and horses was named Xue Laiyin, who was an unknown person in history, but he did have real skills.

Throughout the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there are not a few people like Xue Laiyin.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Liaodong had not yet raised a large army, and Xue Laiyin was stationed in Xuanfu as a guerrilla general.

Since ancient times, the text has been admonished, and the military has been fought to the death.

Literati rely on the court to grind their lips, win fame, and use party competition to protect and promote, and military attaches like Xue Laiyin can only be promoted by fighting for their lives.

Xue Laiyin started from guerrilla, was born and died, fought hard with Mongolia, fought against Jianyu, and was promoted to a general, others were more than ten years, and he only took three years.

The civil officials used the pen as a knife in the court and scolded Fang Xuan, while Xue Laiyin was holding his head and working hard with people everywhere for the sake of Daming.

On the way to promotion, he stepped on the bloody skull of the enemy and came step by step.

In the past three years, he has followed several local governors and dignitaries to fight everywhere, but when he arrived in Liaodong, he knew what it meant to be a person outside the people.

For example, Xiong Tingbi, who is so eloquent and strategic in Liaodong, is still the first time to receive the teaching.

As Hong Chengchou's subordinate, Xue Laiyin obeyed Xiong Tingbi's words because he knew how capable this Xiong Jinglu was.

What Xue Laiyin is most afraid of is the discord between Jinglu and the governor.

He himself was willing to support Xiong Tingbi, but because he was Hong Chengchou's subordinate, he had to obey him.

If he really doesn't get along, it will make him very entangled.

Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi only disagreed with Wang Huazhen, the senator of Guangning, and the new governor Hong Chengchou stood with Xiong Tingbi in many major matters.

Even if the two had a quarrel, Hong Chengchou withdrew, that is, he quit completely, did not fight for merit, and did not bear the guilt.

Hong Chengchou can see many things clearly, Liaodong is a place of right and wrong, less talking, less argumentation, that is the best.

He didn't want to come, but now that the emperor has to come by himself, he has no choice but to clean himself and not stir up the situation.
