Dongcheng Prince's Mansion.

That night, more than a dozen visiting ministers gathered in the spacious outer study room to discuss today's court meeting with the crown prince Gao Yuanqian, including Ji Qian's father, Ji Ruowang, the general doctor of Zhongshu Province, and Mei Hanlin, Xue Baoqin's future father-in-law.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, looking at the pilgrimage this morning, what do you think is the holy will? After everyone present was hotly discussing the situation of the early dynasty for a while, Gao Yuanqian, who had never spoken, turned the wine glass in his hand and asked questions slowly.

"Your Highness, according to what the minister has seen, the meaning of the saint is obvious, I'm afraid that this time I am going to use the army." As soon as the words fell, a soldier surnamed Lu immediately spoke.

Saying this, everyone either nodded or showed a look of approval.

Gao Yuanqian frowned and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

The soldier surnamed Lu said, "According to the Lan border for more than two years, the saint has always tolerate, where there is a southern frontier matter, the chapter is handed over, either to stay in the middle, or there is no clear royal approval, this time is very different, not only threw out two good news at the court meeting, exceptional awards, and then more according to the Lan issue, the court discussion, and said that the result of the discussion, so according to this, the holy will can be known without asking." ”

"Didn't the princes often say in the past that the saints should not use troops? It is very likely that the strategy will be finalized. What do you say now? Hearing this, Gao Yuanqian frowned again, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"Your Royal Highness, it's true that the Holy Lord is taboo to use the military...... a pot-bellied minister spoke at this time, this person is called Guo Yi, the same identity as Li Yu, and the same knowledge of the Privy Council, but each is its master, one is Gao Jie's person, and the other is the prince's person," ...... It's just that the military affairs are avoided, which does not necessarily mean that the saint does not want to move, and he has a lot of concerns, and the reason for this is that the old ministers and others have also shared it with His Royal Highness...... In addition to worrying about the embarrassment of financial calculations and the large size of the border army, in addition, the few ministers of the main battle also made the saint worried...... Naturally, there may not be many ministers in charge, but there are many people in the middle ...... watching"

Speaking of this, he smiled to himself, and then waved his hand, "Therefore, it is not that the Holy Lord did not want to use troops before, well, the previous time he sent the prince to vacate the capital to patrol the border, it is an example...... However, it is difficult to decide...... But now the situation has changed, since the beginning of the spring of this year, the Mongolian tribes in northern Xinjiang have been turbulent, and the always powerful Turkut tribe has annexed two small and medium-sized tribes one after another, and wants to take a large neighboring tribe into the bag, until now, the two sides are still at war, and the Turkut tribe has the upper hand...... Previously, the old ministers and others had also mentioned this matter to His Royal Highness......"

"The history of the past dynasties, but whenever the Mongol tribes are annexed and unified, they will covet me, although the strength of the Turghut tribe is not so strong now, we should also be vigilant...... Therefore, according to the speculation of Lao Chen and others, the Holy Lord will not have no plans to take precautions, but to deal with the northern Xinjiang issue with all his might, it is necessary to solve the southern Xinjiang issue first...... After all, with our country's strength, in comparison, southern Xinjiang is easy to deal with, but northern Xinjiang is not......"

“…… Of course, even if the Holy Lord has this intention, he has still been hesitant in the past few months," Guo Yi continued slowly, "In February and March, the ministers of the main war kept writing letters asking the Holy Lord to send troops to southern Xinjiang, and they should have seen the change in the situation, but the Holy Lord still left these concertans in the middle ......."

However, after that, Li Yu and his gang actually came up with a trick to appease the militia, and in this battle with Yilan, two good news came one after another...... In this way, there was the move of the Holy Lord's court meeting today, needless to say, it was because of these two good news that the Holy Lord's final decision was made...... In addition, it can be seen that the Holy Lord also wants to take advantage of these two good news to get the ministers to approve the use of troops in southern Xinjiang, especially Lord Wei and Lord Jiang. In the past two or three years, from beginning to end, the two adults have not said a word on the issue of pressing......"

Referring to Lord Wei and Master Jiang, Guo Yi paused meaningfully.

The two people in his mouth are Wei Bing, the Tongping Chapter of Zhongshu Province, and Jiang Lun, the Privy Council, who can be described as the head of the ministers. Speaking seriously, Wei and Jiang have been silent on the issue of Yilan, which has also greatly affected the attitude of the ministers on this matter.

"Then according to Lord Guo, how will Wei and Jiang react this time?" Taking advantage of Guo Yi's pause, Gao Yuanqian immediately asked.

"Nine times out of ten, they will approve of the use of soldiers." Guo Yi sneered, "Although the two adults Wei and Jiang did not say a word on the issue of pressing Lan before, they were obviously quite cautious in military affairs, but this time the Holy Lord has made up his mind, and put pressure on him with two good news, Wei and Jiang should not be able to resist." ”

"Huh? So what should we do here? ”

"Your Highness, you can only continue to preside over and oppose the use of troops." Guo Yi sighed, "Your Highness has already known the stakes of this, if you use troops in southern Xinjiang, you will inevitably send Peng Yu, the deputy envoy of the Beijing Camp Jiedu, to control the whole army." The Manchu military general, only he was the only one who had not only garrisoned in southern Xinjiang, but also fought with the Lan, and defeated the Lan's army, so there was no one to replace him...... If he fights against Zhao Lan this time, pours out the strength of the country, and under the command of Peng Yu, victory is inevitable, Peng Yu can be said to be a great achievement, and Peng Yu is the person of King Zhao, which undoubtedly contributes to the strength of King Zhao. ”

After saying this, he stared at the prince, and his gaze was quite meaningful.

Li Yuanqian nodded slightly, his face silent.

Guo Yi's off-string meaning, he understands.

The saint was at his peak, but he was in his early forties, and although he was made the crown prince early, in fact, there were many variables, and it was entirely possible that he would be replaced by two younger brothers. King Fu's threat may be smaller, but King Zhao is a big trouble that cannot be ignored, King Zhao's power is not only the power of his own mansion, but also the princess's mansion of the mayor of the town standing behind him, so the strength is not under his prince's mansion.

If King Zhao's strength continues to increase, and the court's aid is widely spread, he, the crown prince, will be unstable sooner or later.

Guo Yi was silent for a long time, and then stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the case in front of him, "That's it, continue to take charge of the appeasement, oppose the use of soldiers, and only hope that the holy will can be dispelled in the end." As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "...... It's just that the old ministers and others failed to perceive the intentions of Li Yu's gang in time, otherwise if they stopped and appeased the militia at that time, the matter might not have come to this point, and there were still three or four percent certainty of dispelling the holy will. ”

With these words, there is no doubt that the hope of dispelling the holy will is quite slim at the moment, and it can be regarded as knowing that it cannot be done.

Everyone present exchanged glances, and all of them had complicated thoughts.

After a while, everyone expressed their positions and agreed to Guo Yi's proposal. The matter has been analyzed very clearly, as the prince's auxiliary ministers, they can only do this.

"Since you are in favor, then please ask Master Mei to draft a main stroke, and the name of the big furniture will be played." Guo Yi's eyes fell on Mei Hanlin and said with a smile.

"Okay." Mei Hanlin nodded in agreement.

The recitals of the prince's camp have always come from him, and this time it is a matter of course.

At this point, there was no more talk, and everyone drank the tea and then dispersed.

On this night, the same situation was staged in the palace of the princess of the town governor, the mansion of King Fu, the mansion of King Zhao, the mansion of Tongping Zhangshi Wei of Zhongshu Province, and the mansion of Jiang of the Privy Council.
