Again, Yu Qian's words shocked the four seats, so that the ministers in the hall who kept proposing to move the capital were silent in an instant, and they all looked at them with surprise and puzzled eyes. It was Zhu Qiyu, the emperor, who was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yu Qing, you are saying too much, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, what the minister said came from the bottom of his heart, and it was not casual nonsense." Yu Qian didn't pay attention to the eyes of those colleagues at all, just stood there calmly but firmly, and said slowly: "At such a time, as a minister, he doesn't think about worrying about the monarch and defending the city for the country, but he always cares about his own selfishness, this kind of official is really cold!" ”

These words made the old faces of those courtiers blush, indeed, their reaction just now was a bit excessive, and they only thought about their own safety and interests, but ignored the overall situation of the entire court.

"Your Majesty, Beijing is the most important place in the world, and it is the important place of my Ming Jingshi, how can you say that you can abandon it? There is not only my Ming Dynasty's temple here, but also nearly a million people, the matter of moving the capital is simple, but it is really difficult to implement. If we do this, in the eyes of the minister, not only will we not be able to ensure our safety, but we will put ourselves in absolute danger as a thug! Yu Qian finally suppressed the anger in his heart for the time being at this time, and began to reason.

This is to the point, that is, Zhu Qiyu, the new emperor, also understands how important Beijing is to the entire Ming Dynasty, especially the old Zhu family, and can't help but nod lightly and express his agreement.

Yu Qian was encouraged by this, and his mouth kept talking: "Emperor Taizong moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, in order to be able to resist the enemy outside the country, this is also the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the minister's opinion, those who put forward the words of moving the capital are all wrongers who mislead the country and the king, and may even be suspected of treason! ”

As soon as these words came out, those officials who kept shouting just now to move the capital to here, and the officials who moved the capital to go there turned pale with fright, especially that Xu Hui, whose face was as pale as earth, and he almost couldn't even stand on his feet, which meant to condemn him to death.

In fact, Yu Qian has always acted gently, and he will never use this kind of offensive method to deal with people with different political views, and there is even less such a shouting and shouting and killing as today, and putting a hat of a great crime on people's heads. But today's events are too important, and if you don't speak more seriously, and stop these guys from escaping, the consequences will be unimaginable, so you can only use some extraordinary means.

And Zhu Qiyu was really frightened by his words at this time, and his face showed a thoughtful look. He is actually a shrewd person, just now he was frightened by the situation that the Mongolian people were about to approach the city, but now after calming down a little, he understands the reason.

Yu ...... Lord Yu, what you said is still a bit alarmist! But soon, someone recovered from the panic and suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Qian and said. This person is the first Xu Hui who proposed the move of the capital.

He is also a person with a firm heart, and in the face of pressure, although he is flustered, he is not completely out of proportion, and he can actually say his own opinion: "Beijing City is important, but compared to the safety of the Son of Heaven, it can still be abandoned." After all, as long as the Son of Heaven is still there, then I will have the capital to fight with the Mongolian people......"

"Xu Shi said, according to what you mean, why should we move the capital? As long as the Son of Heaven is in the capital, will we still not be able to defend this world's most fortified city? At this time, Lu Zhen finally stood up and opened his mouth to refute it.

Xu Hui is just a small five-grade Hanlin attendant, if Yu Qian argues with him, he will not have to lower his status, so Lu Jin, who is a subordinate, jumped out without relent.

When he opened his mouth, he also showed his attitude in public - that is, the capital must not be moved, but Beijing should be defended! As soon as the surrounding ministers saw this, the originally tilted balance quickly reversed, because they felt that it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to be persuaded to move the capital this time.

Yu Qian and Lu Zhen are the two most trusted courtiers of the new emperor, and now they both insist that they cannot move the capital at the same time, which must have a great impact on the Son of Heaven.

Sure enough, after Zhu Qiyu saw Lu Jin's mouth, the expression on his face became more and more resolute. The latter, as if he was encouraged, continued: "All of you adults are people who have read the scriptures and history, and you must know the story of the Song Dynasty quite well. Can you know the old things about Jin's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty? ”

Of course, he couldn't wait for someone to give him a feedback, so after a pause, he continued: "Based on the situation at that time, although the Northern Song Dynasty was already at a disadvantage, and the Jin army was even more under the city, Bianjing still had hundreds of thousands of defenders, and there were still millions of people to use, while the Jin army was only 100,000. As long as they are united and stick to the end, they will fight with the Jin people and consume, and it will be enough to drag the enemy outside the city to death. But as a result, the Song people were in chaos with themselves, and even came up with such a stupid idea as asking for surrender, which led to the fall of Bianjing and the capture of the second emperor. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, not so much because it was destroyed by the people of the Jin people, but because it was surrendered by the Song people themselves.

"Today, the situation of my Ming Dynasty is far from that time, and some adults are already afraid, and even want to flee Beijing, how similar is this to the situation when the Song people were destroyed? Do you really want to repeat the mistakes of the Song people? ”

After listening to this analysis, many officials couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, and those who wanted to move the capital just now lowered their heads in shame. And Xu Hui, although he still wanted to say something, for a while, he didn't know how to refute it.

Yu Qian also followed at this time: "Speaking of the old things of the Song Dynasty, the minister also has a word. Your Majesty, after the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, one did escape the Yangtze River and established the Southern Song court. But the Southern Song Dynasty was just a small court that was in a corner of the country, and it never had the heart to dominate the world, nor did it have the power to regain the Central Plains. The root of this is that they have long lost their self-confidence as a court. Now, if I move the capital of the Ming Dynasty, even if I can really get out, I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of the Southern Song Dynasty and become a small court that is in a safe place and may be deceived and destroyed by the Tartars at any time......"

"You don't have to say any more, I understand!" At this time, beads of sweat were already rolling down Zhu Qiyu's forehead, and it was obvious that he was also frightened by these words. He didn't want Da Ming to really fall to such a point, and he would become the same fate and evaluation as Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.

After making up his mind, he suddenly sat up straight, and said with a serious face: "Now that Cheng is the time when my Ming Dynasty is in danger of survival, I am determined to defend Beijing with all my might, even if I only win a single soldier, I will never leave this Beijing city!" I also hope that all of you Aiqing can work together with me to defend this important place in Beijing! ”

"The minister is the liver and brain, and he also swears to guard Beijing with His Majesty!" Yu Qian hurriedly said.

"I am willing to defend the capital with Your Majesty, and I will still be honored to die!" Lu Zhen also said a word.

Subsequently, the other courtiers also came back to their senses. Now that the Son of Heaven has made up his mind, it is impossible for him to retreat, so he also responded in unison: "The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and defend the capital together!" ”

For a while, the entire hall had swept away the previous panic and hesitation, and everyone had regained their morale and determination, and a storm that might lead to a sudden collapse within the Ming Dynasty had finally ended.

And Xu Hui and the others who had been talking about moving the capital before, but at this time, they all looked ashen and didn't dare to make any moves. This time, they lost the gamble completely, and I am afraid that they will become the target of ridicule by Manchu officials and even the people of the world in the future.

Especially this Hanlin attendant named Xu Hui, his heart quickly sank to the bottom. thought that he could take this opportunity to be recognized by the Son of Heaven, but now it seems that it has had a completely opposite result. But at this point, everything is irreparable.

The only thing that comforted them a little was that after that, Yu Qian and the others did not grasp the problem and chase after them, nor did they really want to investigate the guilt of these people. As for the so-called killing of the person who proposed to move the capital, it was not mentioned again, it was just a means used by Yu Qian to seize the momentum.

After determining the next attitude towards the enemy, the next thing for the monarchs and ministers to discuss is how to deal with the strong enemy in the oppressive realm. In this regard, Zhu Qiyu and the officials were a little at a loss, and they couldn't say why they came up at all.

At this time, most of the people who could stay in the capital were civilian officials who did not know much about military affairs. Because those military attachés who knew a little about military affairs were actually taken by him as early as Zhu Qizhen's personal expedition, and then they were all buried in Tumu Fort in World War I.

So now the situation in the capital has become extremely serious, that is, there are both elite soldiers and unscrupulous generals......

Fortunately, Qian Qian has been a squire in the military department for nearly a year, and he also knows something about military affairs, so after that, he has been talking about various methods to defend the capital, but others can only listen.

Lu Jin's knowledge of this is also limited, and he didn't intervene at the moment. Because he knew that the defense of Beijing in history was commanded by Qian, so he had absolute confidence in him.

It wasn't until Yu Qian finished his plan that Lu Zhen added a few words: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, he must hurry up and urge the reinforcements who are still on the Qinwang Road to enter the Beijing division quickly, and at the same time bring the people around Beijing into the city." The Mongols have always used the means of driving innocent people to attack the city to achieve their goals. ”

"What Lu Qing said is very true, then do as you want." The Son of Heaven nodded busily.

"Also, we can buy ourselves some more time and try to hold back the Mongols' attack." Lu Jin's heart immediately moved again, and he said an idea. After listening to his proposal, Yu Qian also nodded again and again and said that he could give it a try......

So, on the eve of the Mongols about to be killed in the capital, the entire Ming court was united and prepared for a battle with the enemy again. This time, who will have the last laugh?
