After Wang An hurriedly left the Qianqing Palace to draft the decree, a group of ministers woke up like a dream, and after a moment of silence, Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward and asked.

"The old minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty, but you want to send troops to Datong and start a war with the Turmer Ministry?"

Among the people present, Shi Xing is not the oldest, nor is he the most senior, but he is the chief officer of the six departments, and the relationship with the Son of Heaven is the best, this friendship was laid by the Korean War that year, and since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, although Shi Shangshu is unknown, but almost all the decisions of the Son of Heaven, he is fully supportive, maybe he does not play the biggest role, but it is easier to never be more expensive, so at this moment, only Shi Xing dares to ask so directly.

Because with his understanding of the Son of Heaven, Datong Shou will be killed, and more than 100 soldiers and civilians will be killed and wounded, which is really not a trivial matter, of course, it is not a big deal, although the Ming and Tatars have been peaceful in recent years, but it is limited to not having large-scale wars, and the entry and plundering of Tatar departments is still common, not to mention anything else, just the battle of more than 100 casualties, the nine-sided military town can report no less than dozens of battles every year.

But the problem is that this timing is too coincidental, the new enthronement of the Son of Heaven is the time when it is necessary to stabilize the monarch's authority, and no one can be allowed to provoke the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that this time the Turmo Department came to the army of 30,000, and as soon as it came up, it attacked and killed Jiang Jizuo, the general soldier of Datong, which is simply going to show the carriage and horses to start a war.

If the Son of Heaven can endure it, then he is not the emperor he knows today!

"Yes, the ambition of the wolf son of the Turmer Department, raising troops to attack, killing my ministers, and hurting my army and civilians is really an unforgivable crime, I want to send 100,000 troops, go to Datong, fight to the death with the Turmer Department, and show me the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Changluo nodded and spoke.

The ministers present suddenly had a headache, they knew that the Son of Heaven had such an idea, but they didn't expect that the Son of Heaven's heart to send troops was already so strong.

Look at this posture, it's like fighting with that side!

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister has the courage to admonish, Tulmer is good at provoking the army, of course it is hateful, but if the war starts, the peace of the border between my Ming and Tatar for decades will be broken immediately, and the first to suffer from the military disaster must be the people on my border, if the war starts, I don't know when the year and month will end, although the imperial treasury is a little rich, but if it is a war for many years, it will be difficult to support, I implore Your Majesty to put the people first, and temporarily stop the wrath of thunder!"

The next person to speak out was Zhao Shiqing, the head of the household department, and the old man Zhao was extremely sad when he saw the military report.

He knew that it would definitely not be good to be rashly summoned by the Son of Heaven!

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, but where the war, the first thing to pay attention to must be the weight of grain and grass, and these things, everything is inseparable from silver, the last Korean War, the presiding officer of the household is not Lord Zhao, but after Lord Zhao took charge of the household department, looking at the dense accounts on it, what he saw was the numbness of the scalp.

Fighting a war is simply burning money!

And it's a deadly burn!

Not to mention anything else, the Battle of Korea and the Battle of Pingliao alone cost more than 10 million taels of silver, almost cleaning up the treasury.

Now the emperor is going to fight again, and he is fighting with the Tatar barbarians, and if the Wa country wins, there will still be a loss of silver, what do these barbarians have? These barbarians, who even have to get tea and iron utensils from the Daming Mutual Market, can they have silver in their hands?

This kind of business is a loss-making business, and Old Man Zhao naturally refuses very resolutely!

"What Zhao Shangshu said is reasonable, Your Majesty, the Turmer Department has always been obedient, and now it suddenly rises up to provoke, there must be an inside story, if you rush to war, it will make things irreparable, the old minister suggests, send the envoy to investigate the situation, and wait until the matter is clear, and then make a decision!"

Elder Shen Ge also stood up and dissuaded.

"Military spending, don't worry about Zhao Aiqing, it just so happened that I got a sum of money, and I originally planned to fill it into the treasury, but now it seems that there is no need to use it directly, just use it as military spending!"

Zhu Changluo held his forehead, he couldn't figure it out, how could Zhao Shiqing, a dignified household secretary, develop such a miser temperament, but whenever he asked for money, he must be in a hurry!

But that's okay, originally Zhu Changluo was still angry at the greed of the corrupt officials in the imperial court, but for a moment, Zhu Changluo was a little lucky, if it weren't for their usual expropriation, I am afraid that he might not be able to raise such a large amount of silver for a while.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Seeing that Zhu Changluo was so resolute, although the ministers were helpless, they still had to step forward to dissuade them.

On the other side, Zhu Changluo was also angry when he saw that these ministers were so stubborn.

But at this moment, there was another waiter in the outer room hurriedly came in and spoke.

"Emperor Qiqi, the elder Yuanfu is asking to see you outside!"

"Motosuke is here? Please! ”

Zhu Changluo suddenly couldn't sit still, got up and turned out from behind the imperial case, and greeted him towards the palace gate.

But I saw the figure of the old Shoufu slowly appear outside the hall, still wearing a scarlet official robe, but it can be clearly seen that the spirit of the old Shoufu is not as good as before, and the incident outside the Chengtian Gate did give him a big blow, but even so, but the momentum on the old Shoufu is still not weak, the moment he appeared in the hall, all the ministers were unconsciously relieved, as if they had found the backbone.

"The old minister knocks to see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Wang Xijue staggered a little, walked to the hall, and bowed respectfully.

Zhu Changluo hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old Shoufu up.

"Yuanfu came just in time, don't be polite, come and give Yuanfu a seat!"

Wang Xijue came after hearing the news, and the military report was an urgent report rather than a secret report, so when he arrived in the capital, the news had already spread, and it was because of this that the old chief assistant came.

Ordering someone to send a detailed military report to Wang Xijue's hands, Zhu Changluo spoke.

"Yuanfu, now the military situation is like fire, there can be no delay, I have sent the former military capital of the right governor of the mansion General Dayun to Datong to preside over the overall situation, but the Tatars have repeatedly violated our borders, plundered our army and people, I can no longer bear it, this time it is even more to attack and kill my Ming generals, I want to mobilize a large army, and the Tatars fight to the death!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister still thinks that when you salute first and then soldier, the ins and outs of this matter are still unclear, and it takes a lot of money to rashly raise troops, so it is better to send the envoy first to inquire about the situation, and then make a decision!"

The Son of Heaven showed his attitude, and the ministers also stepped forward and said.

Next, everyone turned their expected eyes to the old Shousuke, there is no doubt that the attitude of the old Shoufu at this moment will be decisive, if he stands on the side of the ministers and opposes the sending of troops, even if it is the emperor, he must have three scruples, but if he stands on the side of the emperor and supports the sending of troops, then the double pressure of the Son of Heaven and the first assistant, even if the ministers are unwilling in their hearts, they have to comply.

In the expectant gaze of the crowd, the old Shoufu frowned, slowly put down the military newspaper in his hand, thought for a moment, and said categorically.

"Send troops to fight!"
