The teacup shattered into slag was horizontal in front of Zhao Zhigao and Shen Li, and the two of them were terrified.

"The soldiers at the border can't even eat, what kind of war are they fighting! I can't stand up, no wonder the army is defeated! You bastards are hiding in the capital, but you dare to make my soldiers hungry! What are your intentions?! Isn't it uncomfortable to stay on your neck for too long? ”

The emperor was really furious, and the two of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground again together, and Zhao Zhigao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, do you remember what the old minister and Zhang Wei debated in front of you before?" The old minister advocated that the grain should be transported to the Datong border immediately, but Zhang Wei obstructed it, and the old minister was incompetent and failed to suppress him. ”

Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered what Zhang Wei and Zhao Zhigao had quarreled in front of him more than ten days ago, and was stunned for a moment.

At that time, Zhao Zhigao strongly advocated transporting the grain to the border pass, but Zhang Wei insisted that this batch of grain should be transported outside the capital to help the people of Gyeonggi, on the grounds that once the people of Gyeonggi rebelled because of hunger, they would directly threaten the Jingshi, and Datong could still support it more or less, so he would wait for the next batch.

At that time, I also considered that the people of Gyeonggi were closer to the capital, and in case of trouble, I was afraid that the capital would not be safe and the emperor would lose face, so I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and I forgot about it later.

But......

Looking back now, how did the threat of the common people compare to that of the Mongols? It is enough for the people to make trouble and transfer the Beijing division to control the scene, and there is still room for redemption, and it is a big deal to send them all to Myanmar, but the Mongols ...... That's damning!

While Zhu Yijun secretly condemned himself for being confused in his heart, he also hated Zhang Wei who misled him even more.

"Where's Zhang?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to participate in the Zhang Wei book!"

Zhao Zhigao suddenly said this, making Zhu Yijun stunned.

"When the national disaster is at the head, you still have to fight?!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is already old, time is running out, and he really is not for the struggle for power, but for this state affair! Because Zhang saw that the old minister was old, he was in the position of the second assistant and at the same time coveted the position of the first assistant, and he wanted to make political achievements, get the support of the ministers, and also get the favor of His Majesty, so he acted recklessly!

This time, the old minister originally asked the household department to immediately transfer food to Datong according to the old minister's request, and ignored Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei made a hindrance from it, and he was stunned to go against the old minister.

hateful officials below, looking at the old minister's old age, thinking that Zhang Wei must be the next first assistant, it was too late to please Zhang Wei, and he actually disobeyed the old minister's order, and regarded the old minister's order as nothing, the old minister was incompetent, and he couldn't do anything for His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to behead the old minister to vent his anger! ”

Shen Li's eyes widened when he heard this, and after a little pondering, he was even more surprised-I really can't see that Lao Zhao is so ruthless and tricky, this is going to kill Zhang Wei!

It is very difficult for the emperor to kill people in ordinary times, but now it is different, the Mongol Koubian and Datong are defeated, and everyone in the ministers is in danger.

Zhu Yijun, the biggest sufferer, wants to kill people, no one dares to stop him, no one will stop him, and he won't even give him a window to vent, for fear that the emperor will be mad and completely fall out with the ministers, and then it will be over.

At this time, whoever the emperor wants to kill, the ministers will only use him as a scapegoat, expecting that the emperor will kill him, and everyone's life will be better, even if he is a cabinet minister.

It's just right, one radish is a pit, and one dies, so we can go up to another one, and even if the emperor doesn't kill them, they will have to move around, and they have to kill one or two ministers to make room for one or two places.

This is called looking for opportunities in the midst of a crisis and turning an unfavorable situation into a situation that is beneficial to oneself, and mature politicians are very good at doing this, which is a very valuable personal awareness.

Now Zhao Zhigao sacrificed the bitter love card, so that Zhu Yijun, who originally only planned to drive Zhang Wei away, was even more sure that Zhang Wei was mainly responsible for this matter, bullying the elderly Shoufu, acting as a prestige, and wantonly instructing the subordinates to be like their own domestic slaves, and committing the emperor's taboo in every case.

Not to mention that Zhang Wei had previously led his ministers to force the emperor to establish a crown prince, and when he wanted to be the first assistant, he was eager to please the emperor, and his head was dizzy, and he actually punished several officials who tried to harass the emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a strong competitor, and the civil officials of the Jiangxi family in the DPRK and Central China supported him, he really wouldn't have had any hope of becoming the first assistant.

But the bad thing is that Zhang Wei wants to be the first assistant too much, and he likes to form a party for personal gain, it seems that he is moving closer to Zhang Juzheng, how can a person as sensitive as the emperor not detect Zhang Wei's ambition?

Zhao Zhigao sold the old man again just now, and pushed Zhang Wei, who was already on the edge of the cliff, and completely knocked him into the bottomless abyss.

Shen Li quietly looked at Zhu Yijun, who had an extremely bad face.

The emperor is still young, he has not been tempered by officialdom, his Taoism is shallow, and he will be fooled as soon as he does it, but Zhao Zhigao is not wrong, Shen Li also feels that Zhang Wei really deserves to die, for him to be the first assistant, he almost took the entire people of Shanxi as a sacrifice.

Which Shousuke had to rely on millions of people to make sacrifices? If there were, the Ming Dynasty would have been finished long ago.

It's just like this, a little bit of a rabbit dies and a fox feels sad.

"Dongchang Jinyi Wei quickly took down the position, dismissed him from his post and sent him to prison, searched his home, confiscated his family property, and sent the men, women and children in the family to prison together, and then make a decision after ascertaining the facts in the future!"

Although Zhu Yijun, who was furious, said "find out the facts in the future", the truth is in Zhao Zhigao's mouth, in Zhu Yijun's own heart, Zhang Wei will definitely die.

"Zhao Zhigao, I won't say anything else, Zhang Wei, I have already taken it, what are you going to do about the Mongols? Don't give me any more false things, I have to listen to practical plans, otherwise, you can go home and retire! ”

Zhu Yijun stared at Zhao Zhigao like staring at an enemy, and he looked at Zhao Zhigao uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty, the only plan for now, first of all, is to protect the fundamentals, we must not let the northern captives break through the Pingxing Pass, we need to quickly send a large army to support the Pingxing Pass, if the situation is not good, the Pingxing Pass falls, then no matter what, we must also try to ensure that the Bauhinia Pass is not lost! The appetite of these northern captives is not small, otherwise they will plunder Datong and return north.

As a result, the attack on Yanmen Pass is not stopped, but also to attack Pingxing Pass, taking the old road of Answer, at first glance, it is a desire to do wrong, towards the more prosperous Gyeonggi area.

These northern captives were obviously prepared in advance, not in a hurry to go south to plunder, the old minister suggested, immediately select elite soldiers and strong generals to rush to the aid of Pingxing Pass, and at the same time divide troops to support Yanmen Pass, and keep these two passes, then the situation can still be controlled! ”

"Elite soldiers? How do I know what soldiers and what generals? Call Shi Xing! I'm going to ask for it myself! ”

The eunuchs around him immediately rushed out to call people, while Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair and was anxious.

It's a big deal, it's really big!

The 80,000 garrisons of Datong were defeated at the touch of a button, and the defeat was like a mountain in just a few days, and the defense line was like paper paste. What about Xuanfu? And what about Thistle?

Zhu Yijun felt a strong sense of crisis.
