Xiao Jing is carefully serving Emperor Hongzhi.

As soon as Yan Chengjin told him this, Liang Ci got into trouble, and His Majesty was looking at his file.

Liang Chu is really unlucky.

Emperor Hongzhi put the scroll aside and frowned: "Liang Ci was demoted to a hundred households in Jinyiwei." ”

Prince Liang was an old minister with high prestige in the court, and he was worthy of important responsibilities in the administration of officials, diplomatic relations, and lectures.

In the future, he will be a cabinet minister who assists the crown prince, and he must not chill people's hearts.

Xiao Jing responded in a low voice: "The slave obeys the order." ”

At this time, outside the gate of the hall, Yan Chengjin held a note and waited for the summons, and soon, he walked into the Fengtian Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report."

Emperor Hongzhi saw Yan Chengjin presenting an object in his hand, looked at Xiao Jing, and then said, "Say it." ”

"The Tatars are reorganizing their troops and horses to attack Liaodong."

The territory of Liaodong is vast, and the territory occupied by King Rong is beyond the nine borders.

There are no city walls and beacons, and it is an endless grassland.

If the Tatars attack King Rong's feudal kingdom, within three days they will be defeated by Iron Hoof.

Liu Jin's note allowed the Ming army to quickly move troops north.

Xiao Jing hurriedly handed over the note.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "Where did you get the information?" ”

"It was Liu Jin, the eunuch of the East Palace, who sent it back, with Liu Jin's character, there should be no fake."

Arsuborot was the fourth son of Dayan Khan.

According to historical records, Dayan Khan conquered the steppe tribes and seized the tribal army, and would not hand over the hard-earned army to outsiders.

Every tribe is given to his son.

Arsuborot will be in charge of the Toruntumite Division, but the time has not yet come.

Arsu was supposed to have taken over his brother's tribe.

A short time later, the cabinet and the six ministries were also summoned to the main hall.

"It's almost winter, and even if the Tatars want to fight, they have to wait for the snow to melt, right?"

"But this year, there has been no heavy snow in the grasslands."

Ma Wensheng and Qin Hong said successively.

Li Dongyang and the others were worried, looking at the sand table.

The territory of Liaodong is too large, and if you want to send troops north to defend, you need to transfer troops and horses from other places, which will weaken the garrison of the nine sides.

It may be the best policy to abandon the vast territory of Liaodong and retreat into the defensive line on the nine sides.

"The Tatars live as nomads, even if they capture the city, they will not live for long, why don't you let King Rong return to Liaoyang?" Liu Jian proposed.

Emperor Hongzhi and several people from the six departments were silent for a moment.

Li Dongyang shook his head: "It's not a long-term solution, if the Tatars invade again, will they retreat to Liaoyang?" And the court is like this, it is easy to lose the support of the people. ”

Yan Chengjin agreed with Li Dongyang's view.

Liaodong bordered the Tatars and Jurchens, and was looted by the Tatars and Jurchens, and the imperial court did not send troops to rescue.

That's why the people didn't dare to farm.

The black soil in eastern Liaodong is fertile, and if it is cultivated and planted, just like Zhu Di said, it does not cost the people a grain of rice to raise millions of soldiers.

At this moment, the little eunuch came in with a sparse performance: "Your Majesty, the military department sent someone to send an urgent performance." ”

Emperor Hongzhi rolled his eyes, and the urgent performance sent back by Lu Yu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and the soldiers and horses of the Tatars rushed towards Liaodong.

Liu Jin's sparse performance arrived in the capital earlier than Xuanfu, indicating that Liu Jin's tent in the Tatars was not far away.

"As Yan Qing's family said, Tatars have used troops to Liaodong."

Qin Hong's complexion changed suddenly.

The ministers thought that it would take more than ten days for the Tatars to raise troops and horses, but at this moment, they were a little nervous.

After Emperor Hongzhi weighed the gains and losses, he looked at Qin Hong: "The military department, who can be sent to lead the troops north?" ”

When it came to going on the expedition, Qin Hong's head seemed to be scratched by a cat's claw, and it hurt badly.

There is a feeling of lack of success, and I am almost tempted to recommend Wang Shouren.

"Liaodong has no walls, gates and drum towers and other defensive barriers, which is tantamount to fighting the Tatars on the grassland, and this battle requires Wang Yue to go north."

Only Wang Yue was able to deal with the Tatars without a city wall.

Wang Yue's achievements are not many, but most of them are large-scale battles, and there are few defeats.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and could only send Wang Yue to the north.

After waiting for a while, Wang Yue stepped into the main hall, and when he saw the sand table, he could guess the approximately.

"The Tatars want to send troops to Liaodong, and I want to send Wang Qingjia to lead the army north."

Li Dongyang and the others turned their heads sideways, and their eyes fell on Wang Yue.

Wang Yue pondered for a moment: "The minister is old, I am afraid that he is not competent, and he has already had the heart to be a servant, so it is better to ask His Majesty for permission today." ”

led the troops north, and most of them couldn't come back.

Liaodong has a vast territory and needs to be garrisoned all year round.

If the battle is won, His Majesty will use him more and more and send him to garrison this place; If the war is lost, tens of thousands of people will be slaughtered, which is a great dereliction of duty.

The old man's good days as a dean have just begun, and you let me do this?

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang's eyes were like copper bells, and the Adam's apple slid slightly, and they didn't expect Wang Yue to refuse.

Yan Chengjin was also a little surprised.

Wang Yue was very prosperous in the Three Dynasties, so he was naturally a slippery head.

He must have considered what he did, and he could roughly guess the general intention: whoever likes to go will go, so that the old man doesn't want to eat ashes on the border.

Wang Yue is at this age, and he has reached the legal retirement age.

The hall was silent for a long time.

Wang Yue raised his head slightly: "Your Majesty? ”

Please beg for difficulty, he is famous in the court, and he is mentally prepared.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and his complexion softened slightly: "Wang Qing's family is in poor health, so let's cultivate in the mansion first, and I'll mention it later." ”

Expecting this to be the case, Wang Yue bowed down in disappointment: "The minister retreats." ”

After Wang Yue left, Ma Wensheng said: "Liu Jiang, the chief officer and soldier of Liaodong Town, can go north to defend the enemy for the imperial court." ”

Liu Jiang is a native of Junzhou, Henan, a jinshi in Chenghua for eight years, and has never sent back the battle report of the great victory since he guarded Liaodong Town.

Yan Chengjin didn't know much about this person.

Among the famous generals in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there was no such person, and it should be an ordinary general soldier.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there have been no outstanding generals, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would not have been famous in the Battle of Yingzhou.

The famous generals of the Jiajing Dynasty are only Yang Bo, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

Yang Bo and Hu Zongxian were still civil officials, and when Qi Jiguang guarded the northern frontier, he was not as handy as fighting the Japanese invaders.

The lack of talent has always been a problem that the Ming Dynasty has not been able to solve.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Without further ado, spread my will." ”

Qin Hong bowed and retreated.

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi with blank eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What else does the Yan Qing family want to say?" ”

"The ministers asked to ban the salt introduction, offended many ministers, and implored His Majesty to send Yang Qianhu to monitor outside the palace."

He beat Liang Ci in order to change a powerful Qianhu.

Han Wen chuckled, do you know offended the ministers of the DPRK and China?

Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face: "When I was the brocade guard, it was set up to monitor you?" ”

Yan Chengjin thought about it seriously, and said after a while: "If Your Majesty allows, the minister can also send the Metropolitan Procuratorate to self-prison." ”

……

Liang House.

Liang Chu cheekily went to Huimin Pharmacy in person and asked Wang Ji to come to the door for diagnosis and treatment.

After resting for five days, Liang Ci's body gradually improved, but there was something wrong with his brain, and he cried: "Dad! The child doesn't want to be a brocade guard. ”

At the beginning, he believed in the old man's evil, and only then did he enter the palace as a brocade guard, as a son of a wealthy family, he should go to the Qinglou, what kind of brocade guard.

Liu Chu shook his head and sighed, His Majesty decreed that he would be demoted to one hundred households in Jinyi.

can guess that His Majesty is extremely disappointed in the second time, and the capital can't stay for a long time.

"Dad will find a way to transfer you to the locality, you will do more things for the people, and then transfer back to the capital after making meritorious contributions."

Liang Ci's crying came to an abrupt end.

Although he was not concerned about the political affairs of the court, he also knew that when the Beijing officials went down to the localities, they would attract officials and gentry to offer and flatter.
