In the past few months, Zhang Fu's life has been really difficult.

As a veteran and noble of the DPRK and China who is equal to Hu Hui's status, or even higher, he not only won the trust of the Son of Heaven, but also had a pivotal position among the military attaches and nobles.

However, unlike Hu Hu, who takes the world as his own responsibility, Zhang Fu's temperament seems cautious and low-key, even if he has made countless military exploits for the court and his status is extremely respectful, he has not really performed too much in the court, and only when the Son of Heaven asks him about it, he will say some opinions.

It is precisely because of this character that the British duke, who holds military power, can stand in the court for decades without falling, and even if the king changes, the new monarch still trusts him. But it is precisely because of his character that he can only watch the situation between the DPRK and China, which was originally strong and weak, slowly reversed, but did not interfere.

Because Zhang Fu is a smart man, he knows very well that he must rely on military generals to fight the country, and he still has to rely on these civil officials to defend the country and govern the world. And if it is peaceful today, it is reasonable for the power of civil officials to sit large. Therefore, he was also happy to see this result come to fruition, and did not have any interference or opposition.

But those noble generals obviously can't accept this fact, because once the civilian officials really control the situation, it means that their status is constantly falling. However, under the circumstance that the climate of the civilian-bureaucratic group has become a climate, even if they are unwilling, they can only endure it at that time.

But forbearance does not mean that they admit it, these people have been looking for an opportunity to reverse the current unfavorable situation. And the best way, of course, is to start another war, through one war after another to consolidate its position in the DPRK, so as to counter the civilian officials.

Last year's series of accidents, as well as the sudden provocation of the Mongolian people, created the best conditions for them. For this reason, they naturally went all out, trying to persuade the Son of Heaven to fight with the Mongols. But at that time, the civilian-bureaucratic clique decisively ruined their good deeds and stopped this idea of the Son of Heaven. And what makes them feel even more unacceptable is that the British duke, who is regarded as the backbone of their own family, actually flinched at this juncture!

They believed that if Zhang Fu could stand up for them at that time and fight with Hu Hu and others in the court, things might have fulfilled their wishes. So afterwards, countless gossips spread out, and Zhang Fu's status in the military attache group plummeted.

Maybe Zhang Fu himself doesn't care too much about this, but he also has children and grandchildren, and these people will be implicated in it in the next few days. In the days before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Fu was often cried and sued by these people in the house, bluntly saying how much he suffered in the army and in the yamen.

At the same time, because of the civil and military confrontation, the morale of the civilian official group was great, so the already declining generals were not less deflated in front of each other, and this kind of thing also reached Zhang Fu's ears without landing at all.

It was only at this time that the calm and low-key British prince knew that his previous decision was indeed wrong. Being above the court, and there are so many people who think they are looking at themselves, how can they really be alone? If you don't fight, then whether it is those people below or yourself, I am afraid that they will be completely overwhelmed by the monstrous momentum of the civilian bureaucracy.

However, it seems that his awakening is too late, because the Son of Heaven has already issued a will, and maybe this battle will not be fought. This made Zhang Fu regret it a while ago, but he was helpless.

But the development of things once again surprised him, and the relationship with the Mongolian people actually took a turn for the better, and this time, this battle was inevitable!

Standing at the forefront of the minister's class, Zhang Fu could clearly feel how excited those generals and nobles were at the moment. And when the Son of Heaven suddenly proposed to drive the expedition in person, everyone's hearts jumped to the highest point.

As a veteran general who accompanied Emperor Taizong on several northern expeditions, Zhang Fu certainly knew what it meant to be able to follow the Son of Heaven to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It was a godsend opportunity for the generals to be worshipped, and it was a great opportunity that the generals dreamed of and could not get for decades. As long as this matter is promoted, the situation of the strong and weak Chinese in the DPRK will be completely reversed!

It's just that now the civilian officials are becoming more and more powerful in the DPRK and China, and when they immediately oppose them with all their might, those military attaches are a little hesitant, because they don't have much confidence in themselves, and they don't know how much effect they can play by going out to support.

And at this time, Zhang Fu knew that it was time for him to stand up, since the civil and military sides are now like fire and water, as the head of the generals, he can no longer avoid and stand, it will only become the laughing stock of the world, spurned by countless colleagues. So, he stood up unexpectedly and said the sentence just now.

Of course, Zhang Fu is by no means a person who is self-willed, so he did this after careful consideration.

In his opinion, although this confrontation with the Mongols could not be as invincible as Emperor Taizong once was, it was still not too difficult to defeat those enemies. And the safety of the Son of Heaven is not a problem, because he only needs to go to the border, sit in a fortified city somewhere, and play the banner of the Son of Heaven is enough to inspire the morale of the army, and there is no need to risk his life at all.

As for the defeat of the Sorghum River mentioned by Hu Hui, it is even more sensational. How can the military formation of the weak Song Dynasty be compared with the brilliant army of my Ming Dynasty? It's just that because of the friendship with Hu Hui, he didn't directly refute it, and finally left a trace of affection.

But this is enough to surprise Hu Hu. When Zhang Fu came out and said that, he stayed on the spot, and there was almost no reaction, because he knew that with the voice of this grandfather who didn't speak much in the court, the matter was almost decided!

And those military attachés who were still a little apprehensive were pleasantly surprised, and then many people came forward one after another:

"The minister seconded the proposal! If there is a Son of Heaven driving a personal expedition, then I will definitely win this battle! "It's a simple way to show your attitude.

"When Taizu Taizong, he personally led a large army to fight with the enemy, and now His Majesty can have this backbone, which can really raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers will definitely make the Mongolian people flee from the wind!" This is to encourage the Son of Heaven.

"Hu Butang, you use the battle of the Gaoliang River to mock Your Majesty, but what is your intention? Could it be that I was cowardly before the battle, thinking that I couldn't win this battle? "And this is finding fault with Hu Hu.

All these voices soon resounded. Because the martial artists were born with louder voices than civilian officials, their shouting quickly suppressed the bitter persuasion that had been brewing among civilian officials, and instead became a pre-war mobilization meeting.

And Hu Hui's face was even more ugly at this time, and he realized that he was in a hurry just now, and there was indeed a big problem in what he said, isn't this cursing the Son of Heaven for being defeated because of this?

Even if he was old and serious, he was criticized by those generals, but he couldn't resist it and couldn't speak for a long time.

And other civil officials, naturally, have a proper explanation at this time, so they can only kneel there one by one, hoping to make the Son of Heaven wake up and not make a wrong decision.

It's a pity that their expectations were disappointed after all: "British Princess, and what you Aiqing said is extremely true, since I am the Son of Heaven and bear the weight of the country, I have the constant provocation of the Tartars and invade our border, how can I always shrink in this Beijing city and watch you fight to the death in front." I've decided——! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen's face became extremely serious, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven faintly appeared on his body, and his eyes swept over the face of a civil and military official in front of him, and then he said slowly in a calm voice: "In this battle with the Mongolian people, I will personally lead the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, as well as the soldiers and horses of the world, and will not break the enemy army, and swear not to return to the court!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that he actually said such words, the hearts of Hu Hu and other officials suddenly sank, and they couldn't help but want to persuade them.

But before they could speak, the young emperor had already waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade again, just accept the order!" ”

Under the pressure of his tough attitude and the prestige of the Son of Heaven, the officials finally stopped saying anything, but just lowered their heads: "The order of the ministers ......"

At the same time, the generals behind them cheered: "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

I don't know when, another shout sounded in the square: "If you don't break the Tartars, you vow not to return to Beijing!" If you don't break the Tartars, you vow not to return to Beijing! "Its momentum is so great that everyone is eyed by it.

And Zhu Qizhen was even more encouraged after seeing all this, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he felt that at this moment he had really grown up, become the king of a country, and become the real master of this great tomorrow!

And happier than him is Wang Zhen. He was still gloomy just now, but now he is already full of smiles, this time, he will follow the immortal exploits of the Son of Heaven and become another great eunuch who will go down in history after Zheng He. Moreover, he was able to truly return to his hometown in fine clothes, take the Son of Heaven to his hometown after many years of absence, and let those who had despised and laughed at him there all crawl at his feet!

Now that the matter has just been decided, our princess's mind has quickly shifted to how to return to his hometown and be in the limelight......

Among the civil officials who felt lost their souls, only Lu Jin's expression was the most indifferent. When he knew yesterday that this battle would be inevitable, he was mentally prepared. History is not something that can be changed by a person who only has the status of a fourth-rank official.

The only thing that can be done now is to prepare for that catastrophe, so that the vitality of the Ming Dynasty can be preserved, and the innocent people can die less.

In addition, at this time, he has already made a decision, he will strive to climb up in the future, because only by climbing high enough and holding enough power can he have the ability to change the course of history!

Well, the sixth is up!!
