"Fenyi, do you have any other views on the trilateral governor Zeng Miao's request for revenge on the Hetao? If not, the old man will play to His Majesty and suggest that His Majesty carry it out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "In the cabinet office, the first assistant Xia Yan took Zeng Milling's recital and asked Yan Song for advice, in the current cabinet, there are only two people in the cabinet, he and Yan Song, and there were two more last year, but this year they are no longer there, and the big and small affairs in the cabinet are handled by the two of them, Xia Yan gradually felt a little powerless, and was about to play the emperor's request to increase the auxiliary ministers and share the pressure.

Yan Song knew that Xia Yan was very unhappy with him, and he didn't call himself by the word table, but called his hometown, and seemed to respect himself, but Yan Song, who was familiar with Xia Yan, knew that this was Xia Yan's alienation, but it didn't matter, since the last time he knelt in front of Xia Yan and begged for mercy, Yan Song ******** thought about how to get rid of Xia Yan, yes, it was to get rid of it, not to drive it away.

I will never give you the opportunity to bully me again, I will never put my life in anyone's hands again, my own life, I have to control it myself! Yan Song clenched his fists tightly, but put on an extremely docile expression: "These things are still handled by the first assistant, the lower official is just the second assistant, and the first assistant will not object to the matters decided by the first assistant." ”

Xia Yan's brows furrowed, Yan Song has been very wrong recently, and he doesn't care about government affairs, which is too different from his previous practice of dealing with some things alone anyway, Xia Yan understands that Yan Song has always been a person who is obsessed with power, and can do anything for power, so he is not so honest in the cabinet, and often scrambles to deal with some things, although he has been laughing, but Xia Yan can clearly feel the lust under this smile.

This is a hypocritical man to the extreme.

How can the power of the state be entrusted to this person? As long as I am still in the cabinet for a day, I will never let this person take charge of the country, otherwise what will happen, Xia Yan himself dare not predict, he is like this now, he may not be calculating, but his qualifications are much older than him, and his qualifications are profound, there is no reason to be afraid of him, Xia Yan is very confident, very confident, and believes that he will not fall under Yan Song's mouth and belly sword no matter what.

He doesn't want to care about this matter now, this matter is very important, do it well, then the position of his first assistant is not only solid, but also can divide a part of the northern male soldiers to the south and southeast to exterminate the Japanese invaders, although it is said that there was a great talent in the southeast before, a young handsome man, in one fell swoop to level the Su Song and Japanese troubles, and the beheading reached as many as 7,000, but there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it is said that in order to avoid suspicion, this young man was secretly recruited by His Majesty to Beijing to prepare for the exam.

Yes, this young man is Zheng Guang who broke two thousand Japanese soldiers in Suzhou before and killed the famous Japanese chief Lin Bichuan, this time Zheng Guang dispelled all Xia Yan's previous doubts about him, because he trained three thousand elite soldiers, and he was able to level Su Song's woes face to face, and the governor of Su Song and the prefect of Suzhou and Songjiang jointly vouched for him, saying that this matter was not false, and the seven thousand heads who were escorted to Beijing were also said to have been recognized, and Chen Dong, the southeast giant who was captured, did not say anything, and was ordered by His Majesty to allow Zheng Guang to kill him to avenge his father.

There is a capable person in the southeast, which is a good thing, but because of this, the military and officialdom in the southeast are facing a catastrophe, and all the people involved hate Zheng Guang and his new army, Xia Yan has heard the rumors, His Majesty intends to do something to the southeast guard and civilian officials, degrade a group, kill a group, it is said that the Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi is ready to do it, and there will be a summons to issue the cabinet in the near future, and the cabinet cannot refute it no matter what.

Under this background, even if Zheng Guang is left in the southeast, it will not be able to do anything, this kind of thing Xia Yan has experienced too much, but the Ming warriors are basically in the north to guard the frontier, if Zeng Milling can fight the Hetao, then Xia Yan can at least guarantee that about 50,000 soldiers from the north can be dispatched to the southeast to deal with the Japanese invaders, and then supplemented by the new army trained by Zheng Guang, then the Japanese in the southeast is basically not a problem.

The problem of the southeast is solved, the problem of wealth is solved, then other things are better solved, with money, the imperial court can do things, without money, the imperial court can do nothing, can only be passively beaten, although at present it is the right way to first go south and then the north, but if the troops and horses from the north are sent south, it will take at least a year or so to pacify the troubles, and during this period, once the north captives go south, the situation is unimaginable.

Therefore, after reading the request to restore the Hetao sparse, Xia Yan's idea coincided with Zeng Miao, thinking that he would first take back the Hetao and stabilize the front, and then confront the Mongols in the Hetao area, stabilize the north, mobilize the northern enemy's soldiers to the south to pacify the Japanese troubles, and then go back to clean up the Mongols with all his might, imitating the example of Meng Tian's northern expedition to the Xiongnu, that is, to seize the Hetao area as a logistics base first, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should also stabilize the Hetao area before the northern expedition of the Xiongnu, and then continue to the north.

The Mongols faced by the Ming Dynasty are not as fierce as three centuries ago, the current Mongols are just a flock of pheasants that have lost their hair, and the glory of the past has long been invisible, but the so-called hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the powerful cavalry and combat effectiveness are still not to be underestimated, and the Ming must be prepared for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ready to launch a decisive battle in Mobei, completely expelling the Mongols and occupying the grassland.

This is the highest ideal in Xia Yan's heart.

With such an ideal, Xia Yan looked at Yan Song vigilantly, strode away, Yan Song respectfully bid farewell to Xia Yan, and then, looking at Xia Yan's back, there was an extremely dangerous look in his eyes, a faint murderous aura surrounded his body, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer - Xia Guixi, I have been waiting for a long time, I have really waited for a long time, last time, I relented and did not kill you, this time, you will definitely die! You are so confident, so confident that you don't even think about the emperor's thoughts, let me tell you, although you are the first assistant, but you will decide your life and death in one word, and the emperor too!

Yan Song remembered the words of his wise and demonic son - Xia Yan was too proud, too confident, confident to the point of conceit, and drove away all the people who originally wanted to support him, then it was not far from death, he thought that the emperor would definitely support such an approach, but as long as Xia Yan strongly supported this strategy, we would have a way to kill him! Dad, what is the most taboo thing for the emperor? The courtiers around him have a private contact with the generals of the border areas, and make friends with close servants, which is a capital crime!

Yan Song hadn't reacted at the time, and asked suspiciously, "But Xia Yan and Zeng Mo don't know each other?" ”

Yan Shifan rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "He said that if he doesn't know, he won't know?" I say he knows! Daddy! The Emperor is now very pampered with you, very much with you! Compared with Xia Yan, the emperor pampers you more! Therefore, as long as Xia Yan clearly expresses his support for Zeng Miao, let them do it, let them do it for a while, make things more messy, and make the emperor a little more worried, at that time, it will be a good opportunity for us to start! Don't forget, we still have Qiu Luan in our hand! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Song was seventy or eighty percent sure in his heart, so he sat down with the old god there, and continued to deal with those official affairs that Xia Yan disdained to handle, looking at the unmanned chair from time to time, his eyes were full of longing.

What once belonged to me will belong to me, and will always belong to me! I must stand in that position, and be amazed! Under one person, above ten thousand!

Xia Yan carried the folds, with his own research plan, walked to Xiyuan, asked to see the emperor, the emperor at this time just finished meditating, was taking a nap, holding a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup to drink the incense, Huang Jin came to inform Xia Yan that he was coming, just these days there is no war report in the southeast, the north is still stable, the emperor's mood is still good, so he waved his hand, signaling Huang Jin to let Xia Yan come to see.

With permission, Xia Yan quickly entered the main hall and saluted the emperor highly: "Old minister Xia Yan, meet Your Majesty!" Long live our emperor! ”

The emperor said lightly: "Xia Qing is flat, I don't know why Xia Qing is here?" Was the battle lost in the south, or was the battle lost in the north? ”

Xia Yan listened to the emperor's words without the kind of yin and yang weirdness in the past, and knew that the emperor was not talking back, but was in a good mood and teasing himself, so Xia Yan's mood was also relaxed, and he showed a rare smile: "Your Majesty's words are too much, after being criticized by Your Majesty many times in the past, the military generals of the north and south are all full of strength to resist the enemy, Su Song in the south has won a big battle, and Shaanxi in the north has also won a victory, driving the Mongols away, and the north and south have won at the same time, it is Your Majesty's great blessing!" ”

Emperor Jiajing was happy in his heart, and he also felt a little surprised, in the past, Xia Yan, the old man, never disdained to brag about himself, what happened today, changed sex? Or do you have something to ask for? Probably the latter is the majority, right? What big move does this old man want to make?

"Okay, why have you ever touted me like this, if you have anything to say, I promised you if it wasn't too much, who told you to praise me regardless of your reputation?" Emperor Jiajing didn't want to have a bad relationship with Xia Yan, and now that Xia Yan took the initiative to show goodwill, the emperor went down the slope.

Xia Yan didn't care, he took out the fold with a smile, handed it to the emperor and said, "The old minister has a letter written by the governor of Shaanxi on the three sides, and a letter written by the old minister, please read it." ”

Emperor Jiajing motioned Huang Jin to take it, Huang Jin took it and handed it to the emperor, the emperor took it, first looked at Zeng Mill's recital, Zeng Milling took office as the governor of Shaanxi on the first day of the new year, and he went back miserably with an invasion of the Mongols, and then continued to win big battles, more than ten times of big and small victories, and the sum of the victories in the rest of the towns in a year was not as much as Zeng Milling alone, so the emperor still admired Zeng Mill's ability.

As soon as he opened the fold, the five big characters of "Please Fuhetaoshu" jumped on the paper, and Emperor Jiajing's heart suddenly changed, and he immediately understood what Xia Yan's intention was.
