Chapter 134: Zhu Huiyan
In fact, Sun Chengzong guessed correctly, since the Jurchen army was transferred to Tongzhou, the cavalry sent by Li Banghua finally had the opportunity to send his recital to Beijing.
Knowing that Lu Yan broke the Jurchens and captured the slave chief prince alive, there was an immediate uproar in the court.
They originally thought that the Jurchens were already very powerful, but they didn't expect Lu Yan's strength to be stronger than the Jurchens.
Almost defeated the Jurchens in a one-to-one battle, and also when the Jurchens had a large number of cavalry.
How could that Lu Yan's subordinates be so brave?
All of a sudden, the ministers were talking.
"Weichen thinks that we should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let them lose both, and then we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."
After learning the news, the official Shangshu **xing stood up and said.
Weichen seconded the proposal, and Weichen thought that although Lu Thief came to King Qin this time, after all, he had different ambitions, and it was a matter of time before he rebelled. If they can fight and lose both, it will be very good for my Daming. ”
Old Buxiu Gu Bingqian immediately stood up and said.
"Weichen seconded!"
"Weichen seconded!"
“……”
Soon, more and more courtiers came forward to support this proposal, and the benefits of this to the Ming were visible to the blind.
These two parties are against Daming, and the harder they fight, the greater the benefits to Daming.
It's just that those who secretly took refuge in Lu Yan are a little dissatisfied, why are you jumping out so anxiously to fight with the Jurchens?
Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?
Sit on the side and watch the Jurchens and Da Ming fight to the death. Then come out and sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Lu Yan's actions made them feel that they were not too reckless, and Lu Yan didn't look like the Ming Lord.
Emperor Apocalypse also agreed with this suggestion, and the recent days were definitely difficult days in his life.
The Jurchen army burned and plundered dozens of miles away from him. And he couldn't do anything about it.
In addition, the news of the repeated defeats of the Ming army kept coming, which made him feel extremely afraid, would the Jurchens break through the city of Beijing and then destroy the Ming Dynasty?
But now the two most powerful enemies of the Ming Dynasty have finally faced each other, and they have become undying enemies.
This made the Emperor of the Apocalypse wonder if it was the ancestor Bao You, so that Da Ming finally had a chance to breathe.
"Quasi-play!"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian gave Wang Tiqian a look. Wang Tiqian nodded knowingly, then stood up and said, "Weichen thinks." If they are both defeated, we can send troops to capture both of them. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will be forever solid. ”
An unknown smile appeared on Wei Zhongxian's face.
He's a villain, a villain who holds grudges.
Lu Yan almost drove him to a dead end. Of course, he had this in mind.
Now that there is a chance for revenge, of course he will not let it go.
Hearing this, the courtiers immediately fell silent.
Many people find this a very tempting idea, but the disadvantages are also obvious, and it is too risky.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also extremely moved, he looked at those important ministers, hoping that they could come up with an idea.
"Weichen thinks it can't be."
At this time, the first assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, stood up and said.
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Ye Xianggao.
Wechen thought that this matter was too risky. It's completely a bet on my Ming dynasty. Lu Yan and the Nu Chief are both heroes for a while, and if they find themselves in danger of being wiped out, they are likely to join forces. Then fight against the Ming together. Once they finally escape, the consequences are very terrible, and when the time comes, the best thing we can do is to wait and see. ”
Ye Xianggao's face had a hint of worry.
Hearing this, many courtiers also nodded again and again.
Ye Xianggao said what many people were worried about, and this kind of thing became okay. In case of defeat, the consequences will be too serious.
Once Lu Yan and the Jurchens carried out a north-south flank attack on the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would be finished.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still a little hesitant. The temptation of this incident was too great for him.
Once this matter can be successful, then the two most serious problems that plague Daming will be solved.
Seeing the unwilling look on the face of the Son of Heaven, Ye Xianggao sighed, and then continued: "If the Holy Lord can't make up his mind, I think it's better to ask Lord Sun of Liaodong Jingluo?" Master Sun has always been familiar with military affairs, and I believe that he will be able to give an idea of how old Cheng is planning the country. ”
Emperor Apocalypse nodded, although Sun Chengzong had a small defeat, he knew that it was the reason for the lack of troops.
For the opinion of this emperor, Emperor Tianqi still attaches great importance to it.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian sighed softly.
Sun Chengzong has always been in the same breath as the Donglin Party, and since Ye Xianggao said so, there is a good chance that he will be able to persuade Sun Chengzong.
It seems that he still has to continue to forbear, and wait until he has enough strength to settle accounts with Donglin Dang, Lu Yan and others.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes.

"Your Royal Highness, have you heard? King Wu won a battle in Tongzhou and captured the slave chieftain's Great Bel Daishan. Now the slave chief has ordered all his troops and horses, saying that he wants to fight him to the death. ”
In the palace, a girl with a goose egg face who has not yet fully grown up, but it can be seen that she will be a peerless beauty embryo in the future, standing in front of a pond, throwing the fish food in her hand into the water one by one, causing the fish to compete for food.
Beside her, a girl who seemed to be the same age as her, dressed as a slightly innocent and delicate palace maid, was talking to her excitedly.
When the girl heard this, her body shook slightly, and then she said, "Really? You give me a good job. ”
This girl is the princess that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is going to marry Lu Yan, his imperial sister. The sixth daughter of Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo, the later Princess of Ningde Zhu Huiyan.
For the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, every courtier understands. It can only be described as dangerous.
At the same time, the north and the south have opponents who are too strong to speak, and the Ming Dynasty has many internal problems.
The people rebelled, the taxes were insufficient, the officials were **, the famine was repeated, and the Ming officers and soldiers were repeatedly defeated.
Therefore, uniting one side against the other is the best choice for the Ming Dynasty.
Regarding Ye Xianggao's proposal, many people have opposing opinions. After the incident, there are still people who use this impeachment from time to time to impeach Ye Xianggao.
But as long as anyone who understands the current situation will understand that Ye Xianggao is really thinking about Daming. For this, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy.
Why do so many officials not like to do things?
Because you will never make a mistake if you don't do things, even if you are mediocre, as long as you get the point, you can still be promoted and make a fortune.
On the contrary, once you do something, you can make mistakes. The consequences of making a mistake are terrible, and you will be held on to by your political opponents, and your own politics may be over.
It's just that these have made her Zhu Huiyan bitter, but she wants to marry someone who may rebel at any time, which is definitely extremely bad news for her.
But among the royal princesses of the Ming Dynasty, she is the only one who is the closest to the age of marriage.
She fought against this, but unfortunately the struggle was ineffective.
Compared with Daming's national fortunes, her protest as a princess has no effect.
The maid smiled and told the princess what she had inquired about, and after hearing this. Zhu Yanwei couldn't help but nod again and again.
"Looks like he's really good at fighting."
"Princess, you're right, many people in the palace are talking about it, saying that King Wu is really powerful when he fights. Maybe we'll get rid of those hateful brutes. ”
Her palace maid Su Xiaolan also waved her delicate little fist.
For the Jurchens who kill, burn and loot, she is the most hated.
Because her home is near Gyeonggi, maybe her family has also been hit by the war.
"Hmph, what's the use of fighting a tough war? Not yet an anti-king with bad intentions. ”
Zhu Huiyan frowned tightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Su Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, she also understood the problem. I saw her eyes roll, and then said with a smile: "Princess, you can influence him." With your charm princess, you don't want to be fascinated by him. When the time comes, he will definitely be a good general of our Ming Dynasty and open up territory for my Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Huiyan shook her head gently, she was born in the palace and had seen many political struggles.
Those who can achieve great things are not strong-willed, cold-blooded and ruthless, and how can they be seduced by a weak woman, even his wife.
She looked to the south, and then said to Su: "Continue to help me inquire about his news, and continue to tell me any news." Let's hope he gets through this safely. ”
Hearing this, Su Xiaolan was startled at first, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Zhu Huiyan also realized her gaffe, she hadn't married yet, so why was she worried about him.
Looking at Su Xiaolan, who had a narrow face, Zhu Huiyan blushed.
"Xiaolan, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing at anything, am I?"
Su Xiaolan said with a forced smile.
"You're still laughing."
After saying that, Zhu Huiyan threw out all the bait in her hand, and then pounced on Su Xiaolan.
"Ah, Your Highness Princess, I know it's wrong, spare my life!"
"Don't scratch it, it's so itchy."
Soon there was a burst of joyful slapping.

The news of Lu Yan's defeat of the Jurchens finally spread, of course, in Lu Yan's opinion, this can only be regarded as a small victory, and it should not be hyped up.
At most, it can be regarded as a small merit.
But many Ming officials did not see it that way, and now the Jurchens are plundering everywhere in the Ming Dynasty of Gyeonggi.
Whether it is the gentry or the common people, they are all panicked.
Some of their properties were robbed by the Jurchens, and some even their houses were burned down by the Jurchens.
Therefore, they all hoped that the army of the imperial court would drive away the Jurchens as soon as possible, but the imperial court had no way to deal with the Jurchens, which made them extremely disappointed in the imperial court.
Now that he has finally won a big victory, and captured the slave chief prince Daishan alive, of course the court will make a big publicity.
So the Ming army defeated the Jurchens in Tongzhou, killed 3,000 people, and the news of the capture of Dai Shan spread far and wide.
It's just that as for which army defeated the Jurchens, the court has always been vague and did not say it directly. (To be continued)
