Since Lu Zhen was transferred from the Imperial Prison to the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department, the three people who helped to save him have never come here to see him in person. It's not that they think it's all right, or that they don't care about him anymore, but because the objective circumstances make it impossible for them to visit him anymore.

After all, the Criminal Department is in the hands of Wang Zhenyi's party, and although the officials here have done too much due to their bad status, after receiving the instructions of Cao Rui and Ma Shun, they still did something - the case of Lu Jin's collaboration with the enemy was temporarily suppressed and not dealt with in the name of the big matter. As a result, our Lu Langzhong can only stay in the prison and cannot redress his grievances.

At the same time, they also mobilized the civilian officials of the DPRK and China who had thrown themselves to their side, especially the power of the speech officials, to create a lot of public opinion on this matter, and put great pressure on the three of them, so that they did not dare to act rashly, and could only temporarily accept the fact that Lu Zhen was locked up in the prison.

Their intention, naturally, was to use a procrastination trick to wait for the triumphant return of the prince. Once Wang Zhen can really make contributions with the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven this time, it will inevitably improve his status again, not to mention Lu Zhen who is in prison, even Hu Hu and others, it is difficult to be sharp. And as a subordinate of the prince, in order to make a contribution to him, Ma Shun and their work naturally is to leave Lu Zhen in prison and wait for that day to come.

Fortunately, Chang Songbai, who was the head of the Tai Hospital, was not involved in this kind of court dispute, so he could still diagnose and treat him in the following period, otherwise Lu Jin's serious wound might die in prison because of this.

Of course, although Cao Rui and Ma Shun made a series of tricks and feet, if Hu Hu and Yu Qian really want to crack it, it is not impossible, after all, when it comes to political disputes, the first two can't fight the latter two. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu has real power in the palace, and it is still not difficult to help Lu Jin.

It's just that a series of events that happened in the court and China afterwards made Hu Hu and the others no longer have time to rescue Lu Jin, and they couldn't even find the time to take the time to look at him.

First of all, the southwest really took advantage of this opportunity, and there was a rebellion again. Although the scale is not too large, it has also had a very bad impact on the ground. When the officials in Beijing learned of this, they were shocked and angry, and they hurriedly dispatched troops from there and ordered the army to quickly suppress this rebellion. Subsequently, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and continued to let the local officers and soldiers garrison the place, in case anyone rebelled again.

After this busy scene, there were changes in the north again. The Mongolian people actually launched a surprise attack on the Jizhou area before the arrival of the Son of Heaven with a large army, not only breaking through several fortresses in front, but also killing nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, which caused people's hearts to fluctuate for a while.

After receiving the report of this defeat, the Son of Heaven was furious, and even moved to go straight to the heart of Jizhou. After learning of this situation, Hu Hu and the others hurriedly persuaded him, and it was easy to appease him and let him continue to send troops from Xuanfu according to the established plan.

At the same time, Hu Hu also tried his best to appease the defenders in Jizhou who kept putting forward the statement that they would send troops to retaliate. At this time, it was a critical moment of decisive battle with the Mongols, in addition to Xuanfu, it was better to hold on to the soldiers and horses elsewhere, otherwise it was likely to give the more mobile Mongol cavalry an opportunity to take advantage of, thus affecting the entire battle situation.

After this toss, a month has passed, and they have to take care of the front, the rear, and the raise, and they have to raise food and grass to carry the burden, and several officials who deal with the entire local government affairs of the Ming Dynasty are naturally busy, and they don't even rest for less than two hours a day, so they naturally can't take care of visiting Lu Jin.

But even if they do their best to do things to the extreme, they can't stand up to some of the whimsical practices of the people in charge in front of them. For example, today, when a military report was sent to Yu Qian, after he opened it and looked at it, he was completely stunned: "How can this be! ”

This matter was too big, but Yu Qian was frightened but didn't dare to make his own opinion, so he immediately brought the military newspaper, threw other related matters aside, and hurried to the nearby official department.

At this time, Hu Hu looked much haggard than before, and the wrinkles on his face were not only dense, but also much deeper. In addition, when dealing with the paperwork at hand, he would cough low twice from time to time, obviously because he was too busy, and even in this summer, there are signs of recurrence.

However, when he saw Yu Qian coming with a solemn face, he still bothered and said, "Tingyi, do you have any urgent military situation to discuss with the old man?" ”

"Exactly." glanced at Hu Hu with some concern, but the current situation no longer allowed Yu Qian to be polite, so he handed over the newly arrived military report in his hand: "Boss, please take a look." ”

Hu Hu looked at his appearance, and his heart became more and more nervous. Yu Qian has always been steady, even if he encounters something difficult to deal with, he can deal with it calmly, and such a worried performance only happened when Lu Zhen was taken down by Jinyiwei, so Hu Hu must face up to this matter.

It's just that after he finished reading the military report in his hand, he realized that he still underestimated the seriousness of the matter: "Your Majesty, he ...... actually didn't garrison in Xuanfu as mentioned before, but went to Datong again? If it weren't for the serious military report, he would have begun to suspect that this was his old dizziness and missight.

"How so? Those civil and military officials who accompanied him, how could they let His Majesty mess around? Zhang Fu is an old man in the army, will he not know what the distance between these two places and my capital means to the rear supply? And the cabinet people, why didn't anyone dissuade His Majesty? Soon, Hu Hu was already full of anger, and his right hand slapped heavily on the table, snorting and wheezing, and a few coughs came out.

Without looking at his expression, just listening to him call Zhang Fu's name, you can see that Hu Hu is really angry this time. He knew too well how far-reaching this kind of change of fortune had on the battle situation, not to mention that the logistics and supplies would be twice as difficult out of thin air, just letting the Son of Heaven travel long distances in the border land where there were few cities to defend was extremely dangerous.

Don't look at this road, it is still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but that Great Wall alone cannot stop the Mongolian iron cavalry who want to invade. They didn't do this before, just because it didn't do any good, after all, the Mongols invaded the original only to plunder the property, and it was just a deserted place.

But now, if the Mengren find out the movements of the Son of Heaven and venture over the Great Wall, the Ming army in the wilderness will be in a rather disadvantageous situation. Especially never on it

Those kings and ministers on the battlefield will become a burden to the army at that time.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Hu Hu became, and his whole person began to tremble slightly, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.

As for Yu Qian, his face was also very unsightly at this time. But there were some things he still had to say: "Boss, I can't really blame these adults for this. After all, the commander of the three armies is now the Son of Heaven, and once he really makes up his mind, no matter how much they persuade him, it will be useless. What's more, there is also a Wang Zhen by His Majesty's side who always gives him bad ideas. ”

Wang Zhen...... Do you mean that this abrupt diversion was the result of Wang Zhen's slanderous remarks to His Majesty? Hu Hui's heart sank even more. If this is the case, even if I am afraid that it will be useless to persuade myself at this time. Because in this world, Wang Zhen is the person who knows the emperor best, and he is by his side, and it is naturally several times easier to convince the emperor than to be sparse himself.

"Don't forget, boss, this Wang Zhen himself is from Datong Ulzhou." Yu Qian expressed his inference.

And Hu Hu chuckled in his heart, and his eyes narrowed. He already understood the meaning of these words: "Wang Zhen is to show his current identity under one person, so he instigated the Son of Heaven to go to Datong?" ”

"I'm afraid his purpose is not only to let the Son of Heaven go to Datong, but to Ulzhou, his hometown." Yu Qian deduced: "And this is probably one of the important reasons why he advocated the use of troops against the Mongolian people before, and instigated His Majesty to drive the expedition in person!" ”

Although this sounds a bit child's play, as long as you think about the things Wang Zhen has done in the past, with his selfishness and mediocrity, it is reasonable to be able to do such a troublesome move.

Wang Zhen...... You really misled the country and the king, you really deserve to be killed! Hu Hu was so angry that he slapped the table again. But then, he sighed helplessly, if it was really as Yu Qian had speculated, there would really be no room for recovery. The prince, who is bent on returning to his hometown, will not let them ruin his wonderful plan.

"Boss, what do you think we should do next?" Yu Qian asked.

"Even if you know that the chances are slim, you still have to persuade. You and I, no, are asking all the officials who stayed in Beijing to collectively go to the court and invite the Son of Heaven to turn back quickly. Hu Hu quickly adjusted his mood and said.

"I'm afraid it's not going to help." Yu Qian said in his heart. Because this military newspaper was not sent in an urgent manner, it took more than ten days to go back and forth, at least half a month, and people had already rushed half the way, so it was naturally impossible to turn back. However, he also understood the rebuttal, because this is the duty of a minister, and since the Son of Heaven has done something wrong, he should advise him.

"Second, it is to send a letter to Zhang Fu and them, so that all armies can be prepared in case of accidents." Hu Hui said the second countermeasure, which is obviously much more reliable than the previous one.

Yu Qian also nodded in agreement: "Then do it." The subordinate then went to contact his colleagues and made sure that they understood the seriousness of the matter. ”

"Well, everything will benefit you." Hu Hu nodded.

Waiting for the other party to leave in a hurry, Hu Hu suddenly felt a burst of flowers in front of him, but it was because of fatigue and this time that the old disease reappeared......
