A few days later, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was watching the latest situation of the conflict between Liu Juntao and Nanzhili at home, after all, the conflict between the two sides was the flashpoint of this dispute between the government and the opposition, and Yu Qian was still very concerned about the development of the situation.

I learned that among the many wealthy businessmen in Nanzhili, the remaining Yu family, Tian family, and Cao family were all beaten by Liu Juntao and had no power to fight back, and the commercial goods of Yushan Town under Liu Juntao's command, as well as the commercial goods of merchants from all over Shandong, were quite popular in Nanzhili and the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and were not only loved by the people and small traders from all over the country, but also squeezed out most of the similar commercial goods from all over the south of the Yangtze River out of the market, and the big merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River were suppressed to the bitter endeavor.

Yu Qian couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this: "I really didn't expect that Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, is not only a good hand at leading troops to fight, but also doing business well. ”

As a result, Yu Qian's evaluation of Liu Juntao in his heart has also taken a step further, evaluating him from a military general to a genius!

Just when Yu Qian sighed, a subordinate walked in, saluted and said: "Master Qiqi, Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, sent someone to send a letter of recital, saying that he asked the master to present the court on his behalf, and asked the master to take a look!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Qian hurriedly took the letter, and after retiring from the subordinates, he couldn't wait to read it.

"When the last general heard about the recent turmoil between the DPRK and China, he felt anxious and couldn't sleep at night. Now that the country has been initially decided, and the nine sides are stable, it is the time for the civil and military to work together to consolidate the country's foundation, but the people in the center of the dynasty are bent on fighting for power and profit, regardless of the safety of the country, which is a disaster for the country and the people! ”

"The end of the generals is not talented, but also often read the history books: in the past, I was prosperous in the Han and Tang dynasties in China, unparalleled in the world, and the two generations of civil ministers and military generals all worked together to discuss the country.

"Turning to the time of the two Song dynasties, the country advocated the rule of culture and abandoned military equipment, the Chinese officials were dictatorial and arrogant, the military generals of the DPRK were humble and incompetent, every war was fought with civil and imperial weapons, and the marches and stops of the army were arbitrary by civilian officials. This is the end of the martial arts, how can our dynasty repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

"Until Emperor Hongwu expelled the Tatars and restored China, my Ming Dynasty always advocated military equipment. First, Emperor Hongwu attacked the remnants of the Yuan in the grassland, and then the Yongle Emperor captured the Tartars in Mobei, which shows the strength of the military force of the national dynasty and the iron blood of the soldiers! Only when the country and the dynasty are strong in force and the soldiers are iron-blooded, can my Huaxia be impregnable! ”

"Now, the traitorous villain in the DPRK and China actually defeated the battle of Tumubao, and completely denied the national policy of advocating literature and martial arts, and entangled the ministers in the court to fight for power and profit, and tried their best to suppress the generals and fight for military power, trying to reproduce the policy of the two Song Dynasty to use literature and military power, which is a move to destroy the country and harm the people!"

"The division of the DPRK and the Chinese military forces should each perform their own duties, the civilian officials are in charge of civil affairs, the people are in charge of the people, the military generals are in charge of the conquest, and the prestige of the country is strengthened. Those who talk about this system in vain in the DPRK and China are really rare thieves, and the last general will dare to kill them! If you kill them, the country will be safe; Kill them, and the people will be safe! ”

After Yu Qian read Liu Juntao's letter, he only felt that his heart was surging with blood, and he only felt that he was full of infinite fighting spirit.

Liu Juntao is just the general soldier of a town, and he has the courage to reprimand those who are vying for power and profit, how can he, the secretary of the military department, do nothing!

So on the morning of the next day, Yu Qian recited Liu Juntao's recital in the hall, and then presented it to Emperor Jingtai.

Then, Yu Qian loudly reprimanded the civil officials who competed for power in the court, and quoted scriptures to explain the importance of civil officials and military generals to their respective duties, and deliberately mentioned the examples of the Han and Tang dynasties and the two Song dynasties mentioned in Liu Juntao's compromise, advocating that the courtiers should refocus their discussions on the struggle between the Yanzhou General Military Mansion and the wealthy merchants of Nanzhili, and not to argue about the civil and military authority.

"The ancients had a saying: Confucianism messes with literature! How the authority should belong, the court has its own laws, how can it be wantonly soothed by you! ”

"Even a local general soldier can understand the truth, you civil ministers who have read poetry and books are so unreasonable that you should spread false reasoning and heresy!"

In the face of Qian's reprimand, the civil officials of the court ignored it at all, and had no intention of turning the focus of the discussion back to between Liu Juntao and Nanzhili Haoshang.

These civil officials not only launched a counterattack against Qian, but also impeached Liu Juntao, the chief soldier of Yanzhou Prefecture, on the spot, reprimanding him for arguing about the government, and even accusing Liu Juntao of threatening the imperial court, and should immediately send Jinyi Wei to arrest him in Beijing.

"Humph! Talking about government affairs? There is no provision in the Da Ming Law that the chief military officer cannot be folded! Could it be that your lordship's words are even greater than the Great Ming Law! ”

Yu Qian choked those civil officials speechless with a word, but these civil officials were masters of quarrels, and when they saw that this way was not working, they immediately changed their angles, and then began to pick fat and thin, eggs and bones in Liu Juntao's plays, and even took words out of context, doing their best to stir up nonsense.

In the blink of an eye, the court fell into a quarrel again, and it was likely to become more and more intense, and even several military attaches were so angry that they wanted to beat them up in the court when they saw those civil servants arguing with reason.

Seeing this, those civil officials simply lay on the ground, shouting "Sven sweeps the floor", and the court became chaotic for a while.

What is different from the past is that today, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is also high-spirited, fighting with all the military attaches on the basis of reason, not backing down at all, and constantly reprimanding the civilian officials who fight for power.

At the same time, Emperor Jingtai ignored the chaos in the court, but carefully watched Liu Juntao's recital in the huge quarrel, and couldn't help but be very shocked.

Emperor Jingtai also didn't expect Liu Juntao to have such literary brilliance and insight.

"It seems that this Liu Juntao is really a talent!"

Emperor Jingtai remembered that in the previous defense of Beijing, Liu Juntao led 28,000 troops to win many battles, and won several battles, severely damaged the Warat army and made great achievements, and his evaluation of Liu Juntao in his heart was also a few points higher.

"Such a subordinate who can be literate and martial arts and has profound knowledge, I still have to protect it, I can't let those civil officials bite me indiscriminately, and I want to let this Liu Juntao be grateful to me. In this way, Liu Juntao can not only serve the Ming Dynasty in the future, but also be loyal to me! ”

When Emperor Jingtai thought of this, he happened to hear that the civil officials in the hall had impeached Liu Juntao again, reprimanding him for being arrogant and lawless, and interfering with the government, so he spoke; "Although Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, has some small mistakes, he is also a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty and a good general of mine! It's good for you to talk about things, and you don't have to involve Liu Zongbing! ”

As soon as Emperor Jingtai finished speaking, the hall that was still lively suddenly fell silent.

All the civil servants looked at each other, as if they all understood something.

Yu Qian also looked at Emperor Jingtai suspiciously, and didn't understand why Emperor Jingtai, who had never expressed his opinions, suddenly defended Liu Juntao.

However, this episode did not affect the enthusiasm of the Chinese officials of the DPRK, and in the blink of an eye, the quarrel in the court rang out again.

However, this time, the civil officials in the main hall aimed all their firepower at Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and many military attaches in the court.
