But Tang Wenyun could only smile awkwardly at this time, and he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't betray his master immediately after worshipping his master, so his end would be even worse.

After all, Liu Yuliang has not been dismissed now, and he is still the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, if he repents, there is a way for him and the Tang family behind him to suffer.

"This bad old man is very bad, this is forcibly tying us up with him!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but scold after knowing the news that Liu Yuliang said that he wanted to supervise the soldiers and horses of the King of Qinqin in the world from Tang Wenyun.

"But it's not, he knew that he didn't have a long career as a first assistant, and he deliberately accepted me as a student before saying that he had been appointed as an inspector, but this also blamed me for being negligent and didn't inquire in advance."

Tang Wenyun did not remind Lu Yuan to pay attention to his words and deeds this time because Lu Yuan scolded the head of the court for being a bad old man, but complained more unhappily than Lu Yuan.

However, Lu Yuan is not really complaining about Liu Yuliang.

Because he is familiar with history, he has long known that Liu Yuliang will become the Ming Governor with the honor of the first assistant of the cabinet.

But Lu Yuan is still willing to choose to cooperate with Liu Yuliang, for no other reason, among the cabinet ministers, Liu Yuliang is more than Yang Sichang and Xue Guo.

You must know that in history, the former, that is, Yang Sichang, will die on the battlefield in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen and die at the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and the latter will be given death by Emperor Chongzhen.

In general, Liu Yuliang's fate is better, at least he didn't die unexpectedly, even if he is dismissed in the future, his influence in the DPRK and China will definitely still be there, and it is better than the lights going out after death.

"But it's not a bad thing", Lu Yuan suddenly said at this time.

Tang Wenyun hurriedly looked at him: "Why is this not a bad thing, because the war is unfavorable and the people are suffering, and it is not without precedent for the first assistant to take the blame." ”

"Does my brother-in-law think that the war will definitely be unfavorable, but it's no wonder, I'm afraid that Lord Shoufu himself thinks the same, but in my opinion, as long as Governor Lu is here, the war will not necessarily be unfavorable, maybe Governor Lu will still be able to defeat Jiannu, and then Lord Shoufu is only afraid that he will also follow the chaos to strategize, of course, even if the war is unfavorable, there are also Governor Lu and Eunuch Gao to share the blame."

Lu Yuan said this.

Tang Wenyun immediately stood up after hearing this: "Lu Yuan, what you said is reasonable, I'll go and tell Lord Shoufu!" ”

"This Lu Yuan, I really can't underestimate him, he really has a strategy, that's right, as long as Lu Xiangsheng is still the governor, he doesn't have to be so depressed."

After Liu Yuliang knew Lu Yuan's original words from Tang Wenyun, he nodded.

According to the decree issuance procedure of the Ming Dynasty, once the title of the cabinet ticket is drafted by the cabinet vote and approved by the celebrant supervisor, it will be issued to the six branch corridors, which will be audited by the six department corridors and then issued in the next six parts.

At this time.

The cabinet vote and the celebrant approved the red Chen Xinjia recital was also sent to the Sixth Science Gallery.

And Liu Tai happened to see this transcript in the military department of the Sixth Science Corridor, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The imperial court actually intends to make peace with Jiannu!" ”

However, this Liu Tai was Lu Xiangsheng's cronies, and he hurriedly rode out of the city and informed Lu Xiangsheng of the matter.

Lu Xiangsheng was quite angry when he found out: "The traitor is wrong, and the traitor is wrong!" ”

Thereupon.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately went to the court to oppose the peace conference.

"At this time, peace is tantamount to signing an alliance under the city, the ambition of the wolf son of Jiannu, how can he be willing to negotiate peace with my Ming Dynasty, even if he wants to make peace, he must wait for the repulsion of Jiannu out of the customs before he can negotiate peace, otherwise at this time, regardless of the safety of the people in Baoding, Hejian, Zhending and other mansions ravaged by Jiannu, it will be disappointing to make peace with Jiannu, I hope Your Majesty will think twice! I have received the great favor of the country, and I am willing to drive out the Tartars for the court, but I hate that I will die and have no place to go, if there is misfortune, I would rather sacrifice my body and decapitate my head and die for the country! ”

Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time after receiving Lu Xiangsheng's recital, and he couldn't help but say: "Summons Lu Xiangsheng!" ”

Although Zhu Youzhen was already inclined to negotiate peace at this time, Lu Xiangsheng had a heavy army, and he couldn't help but consider Lu Xiangsheng's opinion.

Soon.

Lu Xiangsheng came to the palace.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked: "What does Aiqing think about the imperial court's strategy for using troops, now the imperial court is under enemy on both sides, there are slaves outside and thieves inside, and if you want to destroy the thieves outside the Tartars, you can't just be brave." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister advocates war with Jiannu! Negotiation and peace are also a matter after the defeat of Jiannu. ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng and was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "Discussion and peace is the opinion of the courtiers, and you will discuss it with Yang Sichang and others after you go down." ”

Lu Xiangsheng, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, retreated.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng left, Zhu Youzhen angrily brushed his sleeves and said: "Stubborn!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng came to the cabinet room.

Liu Yuliang, Yang Sichang, and Xue Guoguan, three cabinet scholars, saw that Lu Xiangsheng had received the holy message, so they had to sit down in shifts in the duty room to discuss with Lu Xiangsheng.

Meanwhile.

The six section officers in charge of the audit are listed outside the duty room.

Lu Xiangsheng opened his mouth first: "I don't know which pavilion elder agreed to the peace agreement, but the lower officials think that the peace agreement with Jiannu is really trapping the monarch's father in injustice!" It's a stealing act! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's words were strongly supported by the officials of the six departments outside, and Liu Tai spoke first: "Lu Gong is right, just Jiannu was originally my minister of the Ming Dynasty, but now the traitor is a thief, but my Ming wants to negotiate peace with him, is this move to admit that the matter of Jiannu's betrayal is justice?!" ”

Liu Yuliang sighed, only fell asleep, he knew that this would be the result, His Majesty could not admit that he wanted to negotiate peace, but could only pass the buck to the courtiers, he naturally would not admit that the peace was his own consent.

Xue Guoguan also smiled slightly, unwilling to admit it, after all, whoever admits it at this time will offend the courtiers.

Only Yang Sichang held his forehead, sighed with a headache, and secretly thought that His Majesty really had a problem for the cabinet, and wanted to make peace but did not admit it, but let the cabinet discuss with Lu Xiangsheng and other courtiers, this does not directly mean that peace is the meaning of the cabinet.

But Yang Sichang also knew that this matter could not be so stiff, after all, the military situation was like fire, and whether it was the main battle or the main peace, the strategy had to be determined first.

Therefore, Yang Sichang had no choice but to speak: "The imperial court is financially tight, and it spends a lot of money, not only to build a captive outside the imperial court, but also to destroy the thieves internally, it is better to make peace with Jiannu first, seal his official position, restrain his subordinates, and wait for the court to relieve himself before purging the thieves, so peace is not a good policy, why don't you understand Duke Lu and you." ”

"But there is the heart of killing thieves, why not be afraid of being attacked on both sides, when Taizu was attacked by Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng on both sides, he was still able to overcome the difficulties together, and now His Majesty is working hard, is the lord of Zhongxing, how can not, it is clear that you are afraid of your hands and feet, and you are just stealing your life, and the imperial court has increased the levy and salary, and the annual fee is up to 10 million taels of silver, how is the financial resources insufficient, is it possible that they are all in the pockets of the eunuchs?!"

Lu Xiangsheng shouted angrily.

Yang Sichang patted the handrail angrily, stood up, and pointed at Lu Xiangsheng: "What do you mean, is it possible that you can't be a corrupt official like Yang Mou!" ”。

"The lower officials don't dare, but it is difficult for those who have no filial piety to be loyal", Lu Xiangsheng replied.

Yang Sichang's face darkened, and anger suddenly appeared.
