Chapter 667: Are You Finished?

"Wang Shilang, now that Gyeonggi is in danger, you should take the defense as the top, how can you go to war lightly? It must be known that the soldiers are in danger, Xuanzhen has been defeated, and if there is another accident, I am afraid that Gyeonggi will also be difficult to preserve. Lu Wan didn't think as much as Wang Wei thought, he only knew that Wang Shouren's proposal was an accident and might destroy the overall plan, so he had to oppose it, and his reasons were also very good.

"Even if you have to go to war reluctantly, where do the soldiers and horses come from, you can't always transfer the forbidden army and 3,000 battalions, right? The combined number of soldiers and horses of these two battalions is only ten thousand, so what is the chance of victory? Just to win war merits for yourself, you will go out lightly, Wang Bo'an, you are inevitably a little too ignorant. The second attendant of the military department was in the same breath, and as soon as Lu Wan's voice fell, Yan Zhongyu also stood up.

"Yes, Bo'an, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." Jiao Fang didn't want to rebel, but he didn't approve of the war in his heart. According to the traditional point of view, of course, it is inappropriate to negotiate peace, and it is even more outrageous to go to war, in fact, what Cao Yuan said is the right reason.

Strictly guard the passes, mobilize reinforcements, and then wait for the army to gather, and the Tartars know that they are invincible, so they retreat on their own; Many times, they can't wait for the army to gather, and the Tartars grab and rob, that is, they have grabbed enough, and then they leave. There is no risk and no stigma associated with peace, so why not?

As for the emperor may drive the expedition in person, isn't that a joke? Wang Jizhi is the whole family was killed, so he is crazy, is the emperor also crazy?

Even if the emperor is young and doesn't know what to do, can you still persuade him; Even if you can't persuade you, you can delay the time, and when Master Xie comes back, you can persuade him, although he is also a teenager, he is a scheming man, and he should be able to tell the severity of the matter.

"What Cao Shangshu said is the truth of Lao Cheng's country."

"What Liu Shangshu said is not bad, after all, King Qin's edict is too exciting, at least we have to see the movement of the Ming Tartars?"

"When the soldiers come to the city, where is there still time, and you must plan things as soon as possible."

There was chaos in the hall, everyone had their own opinions, but their opinions were not much different, Jiao Fang's ideas were very representative, no one echoed the two extreme opinions put forward by Wang Wei and Wang Shouren, but the focus of the dispute was on the real details of whether to send the order of the king or not.

In the face of many doubts, Wang Shouren didn't care much, he focused on Zhengde.

Even without Xie Hong's previous hints and worries, Wang Shouren could still find the abnormality of Zhengde, and today's emperor is too quiet. Except for saying a word at the beginning of the court meeting, and asking a rhetorical question when Cao Yuan made a suggestion, Zhengde didn't say anything.

If it were anything else, the emperor had never been interested in cumbersome political affairs, but now that he was discussing war, and it was Xuanfu, a very important place for him, how could he be indifferent?

Thinking of Xie Hong's worries, Wang Shouren couldn't mention how anxious he was. He also didn't have much military experience, but he thought that if he went to Xuanfu, even if the soldiers and horses were at a disadvantage, he should be able to maneuver. Even if the worst happens, he will follow in Zhang Jun's footsteps and die in defeat, but at least he can delay for a while.

But Zhengde's battle is different, if he loses, the Ming Dynasty will be finished. Not to mention the New Deal or anything, once the resentment that the Yishi Party has accumulated now breaks out, it will be a situation of great chaos in the world, and whether it can stop the iron hooves of the Tartars is a question.

But when it comes to persuasion, he doesn't know where to start, and the most difficult target to persuade is the person who remains silent, especially the target who doesn't give a response at all. Besides, the emperor didn't mention the matter of pro-government now, maybe he didn't think of this section, if he mentioned it himself, maybe he would give him a hint, and it would be fatal.

In addition to Wang Shouren, Wang Wei is also observing Zhengde, the emperor's thoughts, he has always been inaccurate, and the general direction is still a bit of a spectrum, as soon as it is implemented in specific matters, he can only grasp blindness.

Especially Zhengde's reaction at the moment is very strange, which makes him look forward to it, but also a little apprehensive, the stakes are very high, and he can't help but suffer from gains and losses.

I saw the young man holding his chin in one hand and the armrest of the dragon chair with the other, leaning on it, completely ignoring the royal etiquette. Of course, this is not the point, the key is his look and eyes.

Zhengde's expression was not so much Mu Ran, but relaxed, because his eyes were not dull at all, but were always changing.

At the beginning of the dynasty, there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes; When Cao Yuan began to speak, there was impatience in his eyes; By the time Liu Yu spoke, his eyes had already begun to drift, and his attention had obviously shifted.

Then the changes were fast, but they had nothing to do with the situation in the temple, just like a schoolboy who was distracted at school, and he was out of the world. From being unhappy, it quickly turned into reverie, gratification, and then began to get excited again, and finally began to think contemplatively, Wang Wei really couldn't imagine how a person's mood could change so quickly and without such a continuous surname.

What is the emperor thinking?

Wang Wei and Wang Shouren had a common question, and they were looking at Zhengde, and others were also looking at them, and the Jinluan Hall quickly quieted down, and everyone focused on the leaders of the two parties, and then followed their line of sight, focused on the emperor, and then also had the same question.

"Uh, you're done?" From chaos to silence, the sudden change finally alarmed Zhengde, the young man came back to his senses, his eyes swept through the hall in a daze, and then asked softly.

"Your Majesty Unknown......" It seems that he is about to make a decision or make a summary statement, and Li Dongyang, the first assistant, finally stood up.

He can say that he knows about this matter, or he can say that he doesn't know, when Yang Tinghe made the plan for the New Year, he was present, and then he didn't participate much, he didn't know the details very well, but he knew very well that there would be such a situation, and the Eight Achievements was Yang Tinghe's plan took effect.

He also had mixed feelings. From the perspective of a Ming man, he was afraid that those four words would come out of the emperor's mouth; However, from the perspective of a traditional scholar, he has some expectations that the young man in front of him is the source of all misfortunes, and as long as he disappears, the world will return to the right path.

Although there may be a chaos accompanied by it, such a price is worth it, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? The necessary labor pains should be endured.

"Since that's all over, then let's do it today, I'm going to Taimiao, don't come with you." The first sentence was said to the courtiers, but the latter sentence was to order the third prince and other servants, after speaking, Zhengde stood up, strode down from the Danqi, and went straight to the palace gate.

His actions were obviously out of order, and when the emperor entered the palace, he did not walk through the main gate, but the corridor behind, and the main gate was where the ministers walked. And walking quickly, it is also not the appearance of a human monarch, a dragon and a tiger or something, that is to describe the founding monarch, the monarch who inherits the shadow of the ancestors, should be solemn and noble as the standard.

But these are not the most surprising to the courtiers, no one can figure it out, what is the emperor doing in Taimiao at this time?

The land of the ancestors was ravaged, and the people of the ancestors were slaughtered, so they felt ashamed in their hearts, went to the temple to cry, and prayed for the forgiveness of the ancestors? It is possible that it happened in the previous dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong is a gentle surname, hearing such bad news, eighty percent will feel guilty in his heart, and go to Taimiao to suffer.

However, with the surname of today's son, go to the temple to cry? Is it possible? So what is he going to do, it won't be to Zhu Jie, right?

Zhengde ignored the thoughts of others, and walked out by himself, and the fat and thin eunuchs followed from a distance with a group of eunuchs and guards, but they didn't dare to come closer.

When the emperor left, of course, the court meeting was dispersed, and all the ministers had their own thoughts, each looking for someone they knew well, and they started to discuss.

"Brother Bohu, the emperor is ......" Speaking of the person who knows Zhengde the most in the court, it is none other than Tang Yushi, the time he spends with Zhengde is even higher than Xie Hong, and his surname is relatively unserious, so it is easier to understand Zhengde's strange thoughts.

"Little brother doesn't know." In the face of Wang Shouren's inquiry, Tang Bohu could only shake his head, his insincerity mainly reminded him in another aspect, when it comes to imagination, it is far from being comparable to the emperor.

But to Wang Shouren, he also has something to say: "Brother Bo'an, even if you want to stop the emperor's pro-government, you can't ...... Or do you have a chance of winning? ”

Wang Shouren shook his head slowly, and said with a wry smile: "The enemy's situation is unknown, the soldiers are outnumbered, where will there be any chance of victory," as he said, his expression suddenly turned resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "However, relying on the geographical advantage, I still have such confidence in dealing with the enemy for a period of time." ”

"Brother Bo'an, the Tartars are cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and although Xuanfu also has mountains, most of the places are flat and flat, where is there any advantage? If you go like this, wouldn't it ......" Tang Bohu looked at Wang Shouren in a daze and reminded in a low voice.

"So what, otherwise, how can you stop the Holy Driver's personal expedition?" Wang Shouren's eyes were firm, he shook his head resolutely, and then sighed again: "Even so, it doesn't seem to be necessary to prevent the Holy Driver, the emperor goes to the Taimiao, isn't it to ......" He wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the south, his eyes were full of worry.

The functions of the temple are many, pro-government, wedding, honorable number, emblem, longevity, canonization, triumph, sacrifice of prisoners, Feng'an Ziguan, every year four Meng and the twilight of the year, etc., all need to be sacrificed to the temple.

However, there is no rule that you need to go to the Taimiao to pay tribute before the personal conquest, but it is not because this matter is not grand, but because the emperor's personal conquest is a special circumstance.

During the Yongle period, Chengzu Zhu Di made several expeditions to the north, and the ministers couldn't stop it; During the orthodox years, Yingzong hunted in the north, and the ministers were happy to see it. But no one intends to make this kind of thing a regular practice, the emperor will pay it back in person if he has nothing to do, not to mention the danger or anything, just talking about the cost of this way, the court can't afford to hurt it.

Therefore, Wang Shouren's worries are justified, no one in the court meeting really mentioned the matter of pro-conscription, and no resolution was even formed. However, if he doesn't get the desired result, the emperor will not give up, just get rid of others and do it alone, and achieving the goal is the most important thing, after all, there is a precedent for this kind of thing in him.
