At this time, although Jiajing proposed how to deal with Liu Tianhe, Xia Yan was very unhappy in his heart.

Because he had already written a vote for this recital, his opinion was that Liu Tianhe should be dismissed from his post and investigated, arrested and returned to Beijing, and tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Three Law Divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

However, Jiajing did not order the official of Honglu Temple to read out his vote at all, which is tantamount to vetoing his opinion in disguise, how can this be done.

He was originally a relatively arrogant person, and after becoming the first assistant of the cabinet at this time, he was even more crazy and didn't know who he was, sometimes he didn't pay much attention to Jiajing, and he even thought that even the emperor would listen to him, the first assistant of the cabinet!

This may be his way of death, these days, those who dare to confront the imperial power basically do not live long.

Of course, at this time, Jiajing didn't think about cleaning up Xia Yan, and Xia Yan didn't insist on getting along with Jiajing, he just wanted to clean up Liu Tianhe and suppress Yang Cong's momentum.

Originally, only the important ministers of the court above the third rank could participate, even if Jiajing did not play according to the routine at this time, and changed the court meeting to be held in the early dynasty, the officials below the third rank still did not dare to speak indiscriminately, they could only be honest as the audience.

Xia Yan thought that he was the most powerful person in the court at this time, and Jiajing was a little "against his will", so he was the first to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Liu Tianhe is purely clever and shirks responsibility, no matter how he hides it, it is a fact that the Tartars attacked Datong Town, and he can't shirk this, so Weichen thinks that he should be dismissed and investigated, and escorted back to the capital for interrogation." ”

This court meeting does not have to lie in the middle of the royal road to speak, because the court meeting is deliberative, and the important ministers of the court who participate can speak freely.

Some people in Jiajing knew that Xia Yan would definitely feel uncomfortable, but he didn't care very much, what about the cabinet chief, he was just a courtier, he didn't need to be jealous of others, and he didn't think that he should listen to the cabinet chief, so he wasn't very interested in Xia Yan's suggestion.

What are you kidding, you let me dismiss a feudal official and investigate it with a word, this court is not up to you, but I have the final say!

He also knew that Xia Yan would definitely jump out to reiterate the opinion of dismissing Liu Tianhe and investigating him, so he simply ignored it and waited for other courtiers to refute Xia Yan.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yan's words fell, Zhang Bangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thought that this time the Tartars entered Datong Town, judging from the overall battle situation, it could not be regarded as the Tartars breaking through Datong Town, at best, the Tartars played a trick to attack the east and west, relying on the two partial divisions to break into Datong Town, but then the governor Liu Tianhe's handling was still very appropriate, he did not hide it for his own selfishness, but played the court in time, so that the border troops of Taiyuan Town and Xuanfu Town quickly came to help, thus repelling the Tartars, Achieved a great victory in Guangling, judging from the final results, Liu Tianhe not only had no faults but also merits, so Weichen felt that Liu Tianhe should be rewarded. ”

Of course, this is in line with Liu Tianhe's report, judging from the final result, Daming has indeed achieved an unprecedented victory, if you start from this point, Liu Tianhe does have merit rather than a fault.

Xia Yan's mouth is almost crooked at this time, this Yangming is clear that he can't get along with him, he wants to clean up Liu Tianhe, Yangming has to protect Liu Tianhe, but it's a pity that he and Yan Song have been estranged at this time, otherwise, Yan Song will take the lead to support him again, and he will be able to gain the upper hand.

He thought that Yan Song would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he never thought about it, and then Yan Song stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Xia said is right, no matter what the result is, it is indeed an indisputable fact that the Tartars broke through Datong Town, Guangling is more than 200 miles away from the Great Wall in the north of Datong Town, but only more than 100 miles away from Taiyuan Town in the south, and the Tartar army has already rushed there, this is not counting the breakthrough of Datong Town, so how can it be counted, so Weichen feels that Liu Tianhe cannot shirk the responsibility for the loss of Datong Town. ”

Yan Song actually didn't want to help Xia Yan, because at this time he had already begun to lay out to seize Xia Yan's power.

However, this time he had to stand up and support Xia Yan, because the Yangming family was their common enemy, and he would not watch the enemy grow and grow in order to seize Xia Yan's power.

This Liu Tianhe has obviously stood on the side of Yangming's lineage, if it is not cleaned up, where is the prestige of Xia Yanyi's party, and more importantly, Liu Tianhe is making contributions to Yang Cong, which is especially intolerable.

Yang Cong can be said to be a representative figure of the younger generation in the Yangming lineage, and what is even more terrifying is that this guy is also married to the Lu family and the Zhang family, it is precisely because of this relationship that this guy has been promoted to four levels in less than two years, if he doesn't suppress it, this guy will soon be able to compete with them.

Yan Song naturally didn't want to see this situation, so he wanted to help Xia Yan clean up Liu Tianhe, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that cleaning up Liu Tianhe was secondary, and suppressing Yang Cong was the main thing.

At this time, the strength of the Yangming Yimai in the DPRK is indeed far inferior to that of Xia Yan's party, and he will obviously have an overwhelming advantage when he stands up with Xia Yan's party, of course, Yangming Yimai will not admit defeat.

As soon as his words fell, Nie Bao, the left attendant of the military department, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Master Zhang said is right, the division of this Tartar soldier into three ways is just a matter of tactics, and it does not represent the final result, the final result is that the Tartars are defeated and flee, which is beyond doubt, so Weichen feels that Governor Liu Tianhe cannot be regarded as having a fault, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if he has it, the merits behind it are enough to make up for it." ”

What Jiajing wants to see most is the infighting of the ministers, he still thinks that the infighting of the ministers can highlight his authority, and at this moment he sees that Yangming and Xia Yan are pinching up again, not to mention how happy he is.

Pinch, pinch, the harder you pinch, the better!

Although he didn't say anything, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This smile seemed to agree with Nie Bao's point of view, as if he was encouraging Xia Yan and the party to continue fighting.

As soon as Nie Bao's words fell, Tu Qiao, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Xia and Lord Yan are right, no matter what, it is a fact that the Tartars rushed into Datong Town, Liu Tianhe said that the military households and civilians in Datong Town have no losses, and they are obviously lying, the Tartars are not good men and women, will they do nothing in Datong Town in the past few days?" Who believes this kind of thing? ”

This guy, it's good to pinch, pinch, continue to pinch, the smile on Jiajing's face is even stronger.
