The emperor's reaction, with the political consciousness of Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, both realized that the incident in the northwest was likely to be as described in the promissory note: the Tatars took the initiative to invade the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty originally occupied the strategic initiative, but now it has become the passive side of the attack.

Xiao Jing presented the manuscript to Emperor Hongzhi.

Zhu Youzhu first looked at the content of the recital, as the emperor's political consciousness, he couldn't find too many clues from this recital, but when he read the content of the draft ticket written by "Xie Qian", Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and glanced at Xie Qian with admiration.

The content of this draft was indeed the same as the situation of the frontier emergency report, and even the Tatar invasion of the surrounding area of Yulinwei was accurately predicted.

Zhu Youzhu learned of the battle report in the early morning, and four days earlier, the Tatars had invaded the frontier and martial law was imposed everywhere in the frontier.

Before Li Dongyang and Xie Qian moved in, Zhu Youzhu saw a second battle report, saying that the Tatars were attacking Yulinwei.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a panic, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang came, and brought such a copy and ticket...... The war report was related to the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhu was sure in his heart that others would not dare to casually leak this kind of news to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian saw that Zhu Youji's face was dark, and he was also beating a drum in his heart, if nothing happened, his scene would be easy to round.

In fact, before coming to the Qianqing Palace, Xie Qian had already prepared the draft, and was ready to explain to Zhu Youzhu why he made such a vote, the focus was to prevent trouble before it happened, and he wanted to say that the speculation about the direction of the Tatar troops was only out of his speculation, and could not be used as an impromptu decision for the front-line soldiers.

But if it is true and has already happened, then this interpretation is "trickery".

Tell the emperor that he guessed it, but it is better to say that he knows the five elements of yin and yang, and he made this discovery by pinching his fingers when he watched the stars at night. The emperor will definitely get to the bottom of it, but he will not listen to the words he prepared that "the old man is all guesses".

"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is really a war on the Northwest Front?" Just when Xie Qian was in trouble, Li Dongyang opened his mouth to break the silence in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu glanced up at the two cabinet ministers, and sighed: "I also hope that there is no hope, but last night's battle report came, the northwest border pass did ignite beacon smoke, but it was not my side of the army and horses attack, but Beiyi took the lead." ”

Li Dongyang was worried, although the Ming Dynasty had been preparing for this battle for a long time, all the preparations were for the active attack, such as the direction of the main attack, the coordination of troops and horses, the use of the Franc machine gun, how to prevent the rear from being harassed after the attack, and so on.

Now the preparations are not finished, the war has begun, and then the border soldiers will find that the previous preparations have been in vain, and the war has returned to their familiar rhythm - the Tatar cavalry is rampant, and the Ming officers and soldiers are cowering in the city fortress, watching the Tatars arrogant, and the blow to the morale of the army is extremely huge.

The imperial court repeatedly declared that it would break the Hulu, seal the wolf Juxu, and completely eradicate the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and the morale of the generals was boosted, and they were preparing to make meritorious contributions, but the initiative of the Tatars made the dreams of the Ming officers and soldiers come true.

It turned out that the Tatars, who had been preached by the imperial court and had survived in the internal fighting, were still so brave and good at fighting, and my Ming soldiers were still cowering and unbearable to fight, so what else did they do and what did they do?

Even if the Tatars withdraw and do pre-war mobilization, the soldiers will no longer suffer this set, and the morale of fighting on the front line of the battlefield will be greatly frustrated.

Zhu Youzhu felt a heart jam for a while, and prepared for a half-day battle in the northwest, because the Tatars suddenly attacked like a divine soldier from heaven, and the plan was completely disrupted, so should this battle be carried out?

Zhu Youzhu asked: "Mr. Xie, I finally understand why you want to play the 'stop the war', it seems that this Beiyi has not retreated to Mobei as expected, and it is not worth a battle, but dare to ask Mr. Xie, how do you judge that the Tatars will take the initiative to attack from this script?" ”

Suddenly, Xie Qian became the focus of the Qianqing Palace.

Xie Qian's court did not answer the question of the Son of Heaven once or twice, he has always been known for his ability to speak well, and whatever words come out of his mouth, they are all big things and small things, and they are harmonious. This time before the noon dynasty, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang came to face the saint, and the only three people who looked at him were Zhu Youji, Xiao Jing, and Li Dongyang, but Xie Qian was speechless, and fell into the embarrassment of opening his mouth and unable to speak.

Li Dongyang said: "Yu Qiao, I asked you in Wenyuan Pavilion before, you can talk about it now, so that Your Majesty can know, and if there is any change in the north in the future, my frontier soldiers may be able to find out in advance!" ”

Xie Qian could have pushed Shen Xi out and told the emperor that this was actually judged by Shen Xi, and from the perspective of serving the country and the people, let the emperor see Shen Xi's talent clearly, and then reuse Shen Xi, and even transfer Shen Xi to the northwest to make up for the mistakes of forcing Shen Xi to stay in the capital before, which is an excellent thing.

But doing so is tantamount to slapping Xie Qian in the face!

The emperor gave you the power to vote, but you pretended to be someone else, even if you were only an advisor, it was you, a scholar, who failed to fulfill your responsibilities.

Since Xie Qian couldn't push Shen Xi out, he had to face a problem and find out the reason why Shen Xi made such a judgment from the process of deducing the results.

This is actually much easier than Shen Xi's judgment from clues, but it still makes Xie Qian think a lot.

"Back to Your Majesty." Xie Qian pondered the words, "The old minister did not take this script carefully at first, so that the fighter plane was delayed, please forgive your majesty!" ”

When Zhu Youzhu checked the transcript before, he noticed that the time when the transcript arrived in the capital and was handed over to the general envoy was two days ago.

The Tatars attacked four days ago, even if Xie Qian found out in time, it was too late in time, the fault was that the frontier did not take this recital as an urgent war report, if it was transmitted to the capital in an expedited way of eight hundred miles, Xie Qian noticed it that day, maybe things would have taken a turn for the better.

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand: "How can I blame Mr. for this?" Sir, please get up and tell me the reason in detail! ”

Xie Qian didn't mention how embarrassed he was in his heart, but he still stubbornly figured out Shen Xi's state of mind, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has been busy all night, his old eyes are dizzy, and his mind is in a trance......"

"Sir, a busy night?"

Zhu Youzhu was shocked, Xie Qian was so old, it was not easy to be on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion at this age, in Zhu Youji's view, Xie Qian was able to sleep around the second watch, which was already a manifestation of diligence and self-denial, and the third watch was to work hard for the country and the people, but Xie Qian stayed up in Wenyuan Pavilion for a night?

What is this!? This is simply a saint who helps the world!

Xie Qian's old face was a little unbearable, he couldn't make up this kind of lie himself, not only did he talk nonsense, but he also bullied the king.

Li Dongyang came out to speak for Xie Qian: "Your Majesty, when the minister arrived at the cabinet, Xie Shangshu just fell asleep for a while, and he had no less than 400 copies of the tickets last night. Perhaps it was the minister who disturbed him, he ignored the rest, got up and looked at the recital, found this recital, made a vote and discussed with the minister, and felt that the situation was serious, and came to speak! ”

Li Dongyang came out to "testify" for Xie Qian, with the intention of whitewashing himself, when Xie Qian took the notebook to his eyes to speak, he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, he just wanted to find a reason to come over and ask the emperor what was unspeakable in the Wu Dynasty, but he mistakenly hit and became a prophecy.

Li Dongyang's admiration for Xie Qian was real, he was the same age as Xie Qian, and he asked himself if he could stay up all night like Xie Qian, and still be able to make such an accurate vote, and predict the war from an inconsequential transcript.

Zhu Youzhu thought of the awkwardness caused by Shen Xi and Xie Qian's previous quarrel, as well as the previous Xie Qian's "stop the war", he was angry, his face was ashamed, he stood up and bowed respectfully:

"Mr. Xie, I misunderstood your sincerity, please forgive me!"

The emperor confessed his mistake to the minister, this kind of thing has been rare since ancient times, let alone the emperor took the initiative to admit his mistake after quarreling with the minister. arguing with the emperor and making the emperor bow down, Xie Qian can almost be regarded as the first person in the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Qian hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister is also at fault, Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch!" ”

The original distrust between the monarch and the minister disappeared because of this ceremony, and Zhu Youji's trust in Xie Qian not only did not decrease, but increased.

Zhu Youzhu sat down, his face full of expectation: "Sir, please speak." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty

Li Dongyang watched from the sidelines and was greatly moved.

This is how a wise monarch and a loyal minister get along, and even if there is an argument between them, they can explain things like friends and understand each other.

Xie Qian was ashamed in his heart, where am I "sincere", I simply borrowed Shen Xi's kid to help me and gain the emperor's trust!

Zhu Youzhu sat down and said with an expectant face, "Sir, please speak." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xie Qian sighed for a while, and said, "When the old minister looked at this recital, he only thought it was an ordinary immigration matter at the beginning, and it was not important, but when it came to the migration of Beiyi to the south, he had to think about it repeatedly. ”

"After careful consideration, the Tatars have not committed borders for several years, and they have not plundered Di Min when they have committed borders in the past. Since the beginning of the summer this year, there have been frequent movements of troops and horses on our borders, and the Tatars must have been aware of it. ”

"Even if the Tatars are afraid of the might of our army and want to retreat north, they will take advantage of the fact that our three armies are not firmly established, plunder, and then evacuate, so ...... Only the old minister will have this judgment! ”

Xie Qian said while thinking, the speed of speech was very slow, the logic was not very strong, and it was a little upside down.

But Xie Qian said a point of view, that is, this time the Tatars plundered the frontier, not to fight head-on with the Ming Dynasty, but to plunder and flee north. He said that he was based on the fact that the Tatar herdsmen were plundered, and thought that the Tatars were not only satisfied with plundering the steppe tribes, but would also come to the border of the Ming Dynasty for a while, and after some robbery, they would leave.

This truth is reasonable to Li Dongyang and Zhu Youji.

Xie Qian's main purpose was to satisfy the vanity of Zhu Youji, the emperor of the "Heavenly Empire": the Tatars did not come to fight us head-on, and after a robbery, the Tatars would flee with their tails between their legs!
