"What's going on? After winning a battle, there is no stamina? Do you have to give me defeat and retreat? Zhu Houxi rarely went to court last time, but he didn't expect to be furious. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason is very simple, naturally because my grand wish has not been fulfilled. In fact, Zhai Peng is really wronged, since Zhu Houxi issued the decree, he also wants to do his best to complete it, and he has also made a lot of achievements in the construction of the border plug.

Moreover, according to the most objective historical conditions, he formulated the safest and most correct strategic deployment: defending in battle, defending in battle, such a steady and steady tactic is indeed good, but the effect is slow, and it is undoubtedly inconsistent with Zhu Houxi's urgency.

So in the case of Zhu Houxi's urgent responsibility, Zhai Peng tried his best to rush back and forth to help, but he was constrained by all directions, and the call was not effective, and he never got his wish. Also, there is an old Yan Ge who secretly pulls you back, if you can do a good job, it's strange.

Of course, Zhu Houxi didn't know the twists and turns, he only knew that he had high hopes for Zhai Peng, but Zhai Peng was ruthless. I also allocated you money, and I also gave you the power, but as a result, you have done such a thing, how can I not be angry?

Zhu Houxi was angry, and the officials were naturally terrified. But what should be said to keep the emperor from being angry? Many officials also have no idea.

It is said that they should tell the emperor: You have to completely solve the border chaos now, this is not realistic at all. Besides, if you want to solve it, you should solve it in advance, now that the power of the Tartars is so strong, you have to go to the hard fight, isn't this to find yourself unhappy?

In general, most officials believe that it is unrealistic to completely solve the border chaos now, and this decision is reckless, but Yan Ge Lao feels that it is very realistic and correct. The emperor also agreed, and also gave an order, so this cannot be said, and I can only think that this matter can still be done with hard work.

So who is to blame at this time? Of course, it's Zhai Peng's fault! So the next thing is to blame, impeach and abuse Zhai Peng...

"Your Majesty, Zhai Peng is not fighting effectively. If you have failed the grace of the king, you should be punished..."

"Your Majesty, Zhai Peng's slackness is selfish, and the border generals are also guilty and should be punished together..."

……

In short, the more you talk, the bigger you say, the more shameless the faces of those who speak. Fortunately, there are still some people with a conscience who know to say a few fair words for Zhai Peng. Of course, this is only relatively fair...

"Your Majesty, although Zhai Peng is not effective in combat, he is also considered to have done his best, and I hope that Your Majesty can allow him to make meritorious contributions..."

"Your Majesty, Zhai Peng's defeat this time is also a common thing in the military, please read it for his great merit. Just spare him this time..."

"That's it! Shut up! Zhu Houxi waved his sleeves. There was silence below, and all the ministers bowed their heads in silence, as if nothing had happened just now.

Only Yan Song silently wrote down the people who spoke for Zhai Peng just now in his heart: There is Peng Yue again! Yan Song shook his head a little helplessly.

"You don't need to punish him, Zhai Peng himself handed over the resignation letter...", Zhu Houxi said. Bian took a note from the eunuch on the side, "No, I want to ask for resignation... Those who have opinions just now, saying that Zhai Peng is guilty and should be punished, which of you can go to the northwest to replace Zhai Peng. Complete the major event of pacifying the northwest for me? ”

When the ministers heard this, they did not dare to say anything: Who dares to go? Only fools go! It's impossible, Zhai Peng didn't survive it, he... Forget it...

The emperor is still quite shrewd, and he also knows that not everyone can go to war, and he also understands that he can't just pull someone to go to the battlefield. After all, there are still a few people who can fight well, although Zhai Peng disappointed and angry himself, but Zhu Houxi also understood that few of these eloquent ministers in the court could go to the battlefield, and if they wanted to fight, they had to rely on Zhai Peng.

"What? Don't talk anymore? Zhu Houxi sneered, "Don't you want to serve the court and make meritorious contributions to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is a taboo for soldiers to change generals in battle, so the minister thinks that it is better to let Lord Zhai atone for his crimes...", and in the end, Xu Jie stood up and relieved everyone of the siege.

"Yes, it's really inappropriate to change the general, but if you make a mistake, you have to be punished...", Zhu Houxi sighed softly, "The battle has to be fought by me, but... After all, he has to be punished, otherwise Zhai Peng probably won't have a long memory..."

"Mauberwin!"

"The minister is here!"

"Zhai Peng's military department still don't do it, you can replace him!"

"Yes, I obey!"

Oh my God, this is replaced? The ministers were dumbfounded: Some time ago, Zhai Peng also made great achievements in the war, and he was quite favored by the emperor? Why was it topped so quickly, it's... It is really a holy will, and it cannot be speculated on without permission.

Originally, when Peng Yue heard that Zhu Houxi was going to punish Zhai Peng, he was still nervous, but when he heard that he had just removed Zhai Peng from the position of the secretary of the military department, and it was replaced by Mao Bowen, the hanging heart was put back in his stomach.

To say that Mao Bowen is not a simple person, he is very capable, and his qualifications are not simple, so he does not feel sincerely afraid, and he does not have to back down.

It is said that this person Zhengde won the Jinshi in three years, entered the court as an official, and served as the secretary of the military department several times, knew people well, and made great contributions in the first battle of pacifying Annan, so Zhu Houxi asked him to serve as the secretary of the military department again, which is also a good arrangement.

"There is another thing, which is also mentioned on the fold handed over by Zhai Peng...", Zhu Houxi threw the urgent express in his hand to the eunuch on the side, "The Datong soldiers mutinied in the city last month, that is, when Zhai Peng sent troops to Jizhou, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the mutiny of the soldiers is not trivial, and the minister thinks that it should be suppressed immediately, and... Leave no trouble! As soon as Yan Song heard that this happened again under Zhai Peng's hands, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and immediately stood up and said impassionedly.

"Leave no trouble? The number of participants... Thousands, when the war is about to happen, there is such a big mess, who will give me the border? ”

It turned out that Zhu Houxi also had brains and knew calculations, although he wanted to mobilize troops from nearby areas and exterminate all the soldiers involved in the mutiny, but he knew that this could not be the case.

"Your Majesty, the mutiny can only be punished, but if this kind of thing occurs under the side generals, it must be investigated in detail, otherwise this kind of thing will happen again in the future, so what should I do?" , Yan Song saw that Zhu Houxi was more cautious about this matter, but he was really unwilling to give up this good opportunity, so he tried his best to attack Zhai Peng, even though Zhai Peng had been removed from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Zhai Peng has already pleaded guilty to me for this matter, and I have punished him, besides, there is no chaos in the mutiny, the relevant soldiers have already suppressed it, and it should be pacified, there is no problem...", listening to Zhu Houxi's tone, it seems that he doesn't want to pursue this matter very much.

After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Peng Yue, "Zirui, Zhai Peng's excerpt said that the soldiers mutinied this time because of the shortage of food and salary, and the silver of the household department has not been distributed?" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian..."Peng Yue was stunned for a while, "Datong's military expenses were just distributed by the minister last month, and there was no shortage, and they were all transported by the Jizhou military general himself according to the amount approved by His Majesty. ”

"So how could this happen? It is said that most of those soldiers are hereditary military households, and they will not make such a decision unless they are forced to do so...", Zhu Houxi said to himself.

"Your Majesty, now that this mutiny has been quelled, don't dwell on this matter anymore, right?" , Yan Song suddenly stood up and changed his words, "The border is in a hurry, it's better to focus on the Tartar..."

"Hmm... That's fine, so be it..."

Peng Yue saw that Yan Song suddenly changed his temper, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: What's going on? Supposedly, he's not that kind... Suddenly, Peng Yue thought of a possibility: This time there is a shortage of military salaries, could it be Yan Song who is making trouble?

Seeing Yan Song hanging his head and a sneering look, Peng Yue realized that if his guess was correct, maybe this was a good opportunity...
