266 The counterattack of the ministers was extremely fierce
From the arrival of Liaodong in August of the 20th year of Wanli to the return of the Ming Dynasty at the end of March of the 21st year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun spent eight months to end another time and space in which he fought intermittently for five or six years, and the end of this war also meant the first failure of Japan's mainland policy and the complete bankruptcy of the invasion plan.

Xiao Ruxun led the war for three main purposes, one was to thwart Japan's wolf ambitions, one was to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, so that Jianzhou Wei Nuzhen would not become big in vain, and the other was to solve the battle as soon as possible and not make the Ming lose too much; These three strategic goals Xiao Ruxun have achieved perfectly, and it did not make Daming fall into the quagmire of war as before, and it is difficult to extricate himself, for Xiao Ruxun, the purpose of this war has been achieved.
Japan was divided into three pieces, Jianzhou Wei Jurchen lost no less than 4,000 elite cavalry, no less than 2,000 dead people with broken legs and arms, which is equivalent to 6,000 elite combat strength destroyed because of this, more than one-third of Nurhachi's elite combat strength was destroyed as a result, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he could not continue to jump for a while, and the dragon and tiger generals and a little silver that were rewarded by the Ming Dynasty could not make Nurhachi recover his vitality at all.
The loss of population, especially the loss of elite cavalry, is still particularly serious for a small tribe like Nurhachi, although Nurhachi knows that he can get a large amount of reward, but he still can't be happy, but Li Rusong happily feels that he has made such a great feat, and he is bound to be knighted, and he will not be a head lower than Xiao Ruxun when the time comes, and the Li family father and son are knighted, what a glory it should be!
According to the batch, the army left Korea by boat in turn, and advanced directly to the Tianjin Wei on the coast of the north, and after arriving at Tianjin Wei, the army was organized and slowly went to the Beijing Division, where the emperor would personally greet the Emperor to highlight the great martial arts of the army's eastward expedition to Korea and express his honor and favor to the generals.
At this moment, it is the most glorious time for military generals, and civil officials also need to retreat from the generals who have made great achievements, and be a little polite, of course, only for the generals who have made great achievements, and the military marshal is not in this category, generally speaking, the military marshal who has made great achievements will immediately fall into impeachment hell.
Any trivial things that may lead to the reduction of Wen Shuai's merits in the course of the war will be infinitely magnified by people, and then singled out, pointing to these trivial things and saying that these Wen Shuai have bad intentions, and the cabinet bosses who hold great power will take the opportunity to suppress Wen Shuai.
Song Yingchang had already expected the attack he would encounter, so he sent someone back to the capital early to send a letter, and launched his own connections to start operating, and Xiao Ruxun also launched the connections of the Beijing division that he had mastered before to start operating himself, trying not to let himself stay in the Beijing division to do what Beijing camp position, both of them had their own ideas.
However, the chaos in the Beijing division at this moment far exceeded anyone's initial imagination, whether it was Wang Xijue or Zhu Yijun, they never thought that the chaos in the Beijing division would reach such a point, far more than they imagined before, nor did they expect that the courtiers' counterattack would be so strong, and they didn't even care about the triumphal ceremony, no matter what, they asked the emperor to give an explanation.
And it was actually the biological mother Empress Dowager Li who gave Zhu Yijun a heavy blow, Empress Dowager Li issued a decree to ask the emperor who he planned to crown as the crown prince, and the words revealed the taste of ridicule, Zhu Yijun was quite angry and called Wang Xijue to secretly attack and play right, angrily reprimanded Wang Xijue, and asked him what his idea was? Why did the courtiers react so violently?! Why did even the Queen Mother make sarcastic remarks?
In this way, a play arranged by Zhu Yijun for Empress Shane has also become a joke, and the emperor's face is damaged, how can this be accepted?
Wang Xijue returned to the cabinet with a disgraced face, sighed for a long time, and Zhao Zhigao, the second assistant of the cabinet, comforted: "The courtiers are surging, the dispute over the country has been delayed for a long time, and the temples are full of tricks, how can the courtiers not be angry?" ”
Wang Xijue sighed: "The strangest person today, the right and wrong of the temple, the world will want to do the opposite." ”
I don't know when it began, the conclusion made by the emperor, the decision made by the emperor, the courtiers all thought that opposition was the most correct, and not opposition was incorrect, and it was politically correct to scold the chapter, and echoing became a move without integrity to please the emperor, in a word, the decision made by the emperor, we all have to oppose it, what the emperor wants to do, we have to stop, and what the emperor says, we have to refute.
I really don't know who this world is!
Gu Xiancheng, who was in the cabinet to report on his work, immediately ridiculed after hearing this-I see the right and wrong of the world, and the temple will want to do the opposite!
It's not that we want to oppose the emperor, but what the people of the world think is right and wrong, and the emperor has to oppose it! It is the emperor who wants to oppose the people of the world!
Hearing such a righteous and awe-inspiring statement, Wang Xijue's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh.
"You can replace the people of the world?"
Gu Xiancheng said without shame: "My generation should be responsible for the world!" ”
"You can also replace the illiterate peasant and peasant woman? The one you bear is the generation of the landlord and the gentry! ”
Gu Xiancheng's face changed, he was angry, and he immediately brushed his sleeves and left.
Although Wang Xijue has the heart to reprimand, but also understands that his current identity on this stinky street is no matter how can not regain credibility, everyone regards himself as the emperor's lackey, Wang Xijue's credibility and prestige have been seriously questioned again, someone has already shouted the slogan of Wang Xijue, the lackey of the Son of Heaven, presumably soon, someone will begin to call for Wang Xijue to be ousted from power and replaced with a first assistant.
But fortunately, the first assistant of the cabinet is indeed not something that can be done by just one person, these people don't want Wang Xijue, but who do you find to replace them? Now there are only three people in the cabinet, in addition to Wang Xijue and Zhao Zhigao, there is also a Zhang position, if Wang Xijue goes down, according to the rules, it must be Zhao Zhigao, a foolish gentleman, who will be the first assistant, and then he will still be the emperor's marionette, how can they play?
However, in the current situation, the ministers are angry, the queen mother fanned the flames, the emperor was furious, he was sandwiched in the middle of the cabinet and couldn't move, since there was a cabinet chief, there has never been a time when the cabinet chief assistant was in such a difficult situation, Yan Song still has his own Yan party to rely on, but Wang Xijue has no own royal party to rely on, in such a situation, it really made Wang Xijue have the idea of retreating.
Is it really time to step down?
