Seeing Li Dongyang's face, Yang Tinghe and the others chuckled in their hearts and became a little nervous.

Yang Tinghe stood up and said nervously: "Elder Ge, what happened?" Is there anything wrong with this edict? ”

Li Dongyang sighed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, you want to drive the expedition!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole duty room fell silent, and when it came to the imperial conquest, the first reaction of these ministers was not the great martial arts of Emperor Yongle in the desert, nor the merit of Emperor Xuanzong in capturing the King of Han alive, but the change of Tumubao!

Let Zhang Fu and dozens of other generals be buried in the civil fort, let hundreds of thousands of elite troops be killed and wounded, and the military strength of the Ming Dynasty will be sharply reduced! The emperor personally conquered, the famous generals were like clouds, and the warriors were like rain, but he blindly trusted the eunuchs and wiped out the army! There was a fault line in the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, there were no generals who could fight, and those who could fight died in Tumubao and failed to pass it on, so that the imperial court had to use Wenchen to lead the army!

Even the emperor was captured alive, and the Beijing division was hung in the air and there were no more soldiers to fight, if it weren't for the last moment Yu Qian stepped forward and made efforts to defend the Beijing division, and recruited the old and weak remnants from all over the country to attack the tile spurs that came to attack in the Beijing division, the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will reappear the shame of Jingkang!

The change of Tumubao is actually the first major disaster since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! Its painful lesson is deeply engraved in the hearts of every official, so when it is mentioned that the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, everyone in the room on duty is discolored!

The secretary of the military department said urgently: "Elder Li Ge, the change of the civil fort is only fifty years ago, has the elder forgotten?" ”

"How can the old man forget! When the old man heard this, he was also shocked, and knelt on the ground to admonish bitterly, how could the emperor leave with his sleeves up! Li Dongyang said bitterly.

With such an emperor, anyone is also bitter! Yang Tinghe calmed down a little and said, "No matter what, I have to advise the emperor to dispel the idea of driving the imperial expedition!" If the emperor really doesn't worry about Wang Shouren, it doesn't hurt to let Zhang Zhijie lead the troops! ”

At this time, Yang Tinghe felt that everything could be compromised, what Wang Shouren and Zhang Zhijie's were better than letting the emperor drive the expedition in person! So I don't care about anything at this time, as long as the person leading the troops can really fight!

Li Dongyang said bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not a matter of candidates!" It's that the emperor himself wants to lead the army! Jiefu should also know that when the emperor was the crown prince, he was very fond of military books! I heard that some time ago, he proclaimed himself the governor of military affairs, the mighty general, and the chief military officer! Alas! ”

Yang Tinghe once taught Emperor Zhengde, so he naturally knew that what Li Dongyang said was true, at that time, Emperor Zhengde was extremely playful and not good at reading, but he was very interested in military books! Some time ago, Emperor Zhengde proclaimed himself a powerful general of military affairs, and he had also heard about it!

At that time, it was just Emperor Zhengde's nonsense, and he didn't care! If it was put on other emperors, the ministers would have already gathered to admonish, but when it happened to Emperor Zhengde, who jumped out of nonsense, even the ministers thought it was okay just like this, as long as it wasn't too outrageous!

If it wasn't because of the problem of the leader candidate, but because the emperor himself wanted to lead the army to drive the expedition in person, it would be troublesome!

Hubu Shangshu said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must advise the emperor to dispel the idea of driving the imperial expedition!" This is our duty as ministers! ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is our duty as ministers, without further ado, let's go to meet the emperor and advise the emperor to dispel the idea of driving the imperial expedition."

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said, "Wait a few adults!" When the court was deliberating, the emperor had not yet revealed the idea of driving the expedition in person, why did he suddenly think about the expedition in person? There must be a reason for this, let's figure out why! ”

The rest of the Shangshu also nodded when they heard this, and only after finding the root cause of the disease could they catch the medicine according to the prescription, they were indeed a little too anxious just now!

Li Dongyang said with a solemn face: "Could it be that Zhang Zhijie is unwilling to be ignored by the ministers like this, so he launched a counterattack!" ”

If it is really Zhang Zhijiejin's slander, then this situation is undoubtedly the most unfortunate situation! The emperor is really too fond of Zhang Zhijie, Zhang Zhijie himself is in a high position, and his connections are very important, it is really difficult to shake him!

Just when Li Dongyang and several other important ministers inquired about the news, the news that the emperor wanted to drive the royal expedition finally spread out of the palace!

This news is so exciting that it stunned the entire officialdom at once! The emperor convened the six ministries and nine Qing courts to discuss the dispatch of troops, and the final result has just spread!

Everyone agrees with this result, although there are also different voices, some people may not be angry with Wang Shouren and want to make meritorious contributions, and some people may feel that they or so-and-so are more suitable!

But overall, everyone is more accepting of this result! After all, many people predicted at that time that this expedition was likely to be Zhang Zhijie's military affairs, and now it is Wang Shouren who is the commander of military affairs, which is more acceptable to these ministers than Zhang Zhijie's military affairs! Although Wang Shouren's temperament is not pleasant, and his popularity is not good, but for these ministers, at least Wang Shouren is his own person!

Everyone sighed when they heard this result, the emperor is getting older and has changed, this time he didn't make any moths, so smoothly let Wang Shouren lead the troops to the battle!

But their feelings have not yet been sent, and more exciting news has come out! The emperor is not just not making trouble, the emperor is brewing a bigger moth!

What the? The emperor wants to drive the expedition in person? It's not funny at all that you're joking! How is this possible? It has only been 50 years since the Tumubao Incident, and its painful lesson is still remembered by everyone, how could the emperor think about the imperial expedition, is there no trace of fear in his heart?

What's more, isn't the emperor afraid of being drowned by the spittle of the ministers? The emperor has already announced in public at the court meeting that he will let the king stubborn donkey lead the troops, don't make such a joke!

What the? Li Ge Lao drafted an edict and submitted it to the emperor, but was refuted by the emperor, and the emperor really wanted to drive the emperor in person!

When these ministers heard the news, many of them were shocked, and even many of them burst into foul language in a gaffe!

Didn't the emperor know about the changes in the civil fort fifty years ago? Even if the emperor doesn't know, don't the cabinet scholars know? For a while, the officials in the various yamen of the Beijing Division were all excited, and there were many discussions.

Everywhere the news that Emperor Zhengde was going to drive the expedition in person, the atmosphere was immediately ignited, and everyone became red and thick-necked, how could the emperor drive the expedition in person? How can you let the emperor drive the expedition in person?

We must not let the tragedy of the Tumubao change happen again, and the entire Jingshi was agitated for a while!
