The war situation in Liaodong was put in a fog by Xia Mu, and Li Chengliang couldn't help but not understand it, and even Nu and Erhachi in Jianzhou couldn't understand it.

Seeing that the land of Saibei is about to enter a cold winter, and the big lake is also about to freeze, since ancient times, soldiers have never fought in winter, first, the backup materials cannot be maintained, and second, the weather is cold, and the soldiers cannot maintain their physical strength.

But seeing that it was winter, Xia Mu still didn't move, for three days in a row, let 20,000 young people run around the city shirtless, carrying sandbags, could it be that he was training the escape speed of the new army?

Shulhaqi looked down on this newly appointed governor Jingying Rongzheng in his heart, which was also a useless thing.

Wu Zhongyong did go to the camp of Altan, but he didn't see my face, not even the Tartar general Boyan Jina, he didn't see it, and he was received by the most arrogant general of the Tartars, Boyan Jina's brother, Boyan Hanji.

In the tent, Wu Zhong stood aside with an iron face, Boyan Hanji sat arrogantly on the top, with the orchid in his arms on the side, only looking at the cherry-like mouth of the orchid, wrapped in the red unknown liquid in the wine chip, and crossed the Boyan Hanji with his lips, which provoked Boyan Hanji to make a big hair, and he didn't care about Wu Zhongyong's use, so he did the matter.

"It's insulting Sven, it's really a barbarian!"

This kind of ignorance made Wu Zhong sweep the floor with face, and under the roar of the Tartars, he walked out of the camp with a disgraced face.

Although he is a little arrogant and snobbish, his dignity as a man is still there, and he took refuge in Yan Shifan, also in order to get ahead, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon, saying that he is not a man!

Wu Zhong spat at Boyan Hanji's camp fiercely, and hated this brute who made him lose face.

In the capital, Liaodong is preparing for war, and there is no clue yet, but the three parties in the capital, the Xu Party, the Yan Party, and the Li Party, are arguing in full swing.

Especially Li Mo, he even launched his protégé to attack and destroy the old Yan Song, but Li Mo is really not Yan Shifan's opponent, and he ends up in a tiger every time.

But just yesterday, the old emperor Jiajing suffered from asthma and coughed up blood because of the weather.

When the courtiers heard this, they all thought that the old emperor's life was not long, and they were discussing the matter of establishing a prince, King Jing secretly sent Yan Shifan 10,000 taels of silver, and obtained Yan Shifan's support, but Gao Gong was stuffed in King Yu's mansion, and the clouds were gloomy.

Early this morning, Li Mo and other six high-ranking officials sat in Xu Jie's duty room to discuss the government, and first talked about the news of the Northern Liao Expedition, and heard that Xia Mu was training the ability of the new army to escape, which made the cabinet ministers, including Xu Jie, shocked, ridiculous and angry, of course, this news was very rare for Yan Shifan. Because the more incompetent Xia Mu is, the more sure he is that he will be finished!

At this time, the courtiers all gathered in the cabinet and waited for the results of the imperial decree.

Since the old emperor coughed up blood last night, the imperial physician order was called to Xinuan Pavilion.

Now that the imperial physician has ordered Liu Feng to become the sweetheart of the cabinet ministers, everyone wants to know what happened to the old emperor and when he will return to heaven.

At this time, in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Feng, who was over sixty years old, worked tirelessly, risking being complained about, blamed by the emperor, and even possibly killed, he came to check Jiajing's pulse every two or three days, meticulously prescribe prescriptions, and even if he only changed one or two flavors, he had to ponder carefully for half an hour.

Liu Feng is an old doctor with a very gentle temper on the surface, but a strong heart. People who don't know him think he's a cotton dumpling, but people who know him say he's like a piece of ginger, and ginger gets spicier the older you get.

As a doctor, he has no right to choose a patient, as long as the emperor declares, he has to go to the pulse. But the old emperor's pulse is not as good as a day, seeing that the winter cold is coming, the old emperor will not be alive for three years, but this matter, he can't be said to be killed, if it is revealed, it will inevitably cause courtiers to discuss, the prince's infighting, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is unstable.

Emperor Jiajing lay on the bed, spit out blood, and then he felt a lot more comfortable, looked at Liu Feng with a sad face, and asked, "How is my body?" ”

Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the emperor asking, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is in good health, and there is no major problem, but the chest is tight and short of breath, the qi and blood rush upward, and he vomited two mouthfuls of bruises, which is not in the way." ”

Jiajing nodded: "You go down, how to say, you understand, right?" ”

Liu Feng hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister understands!" ”

At this time, the citizens of the whole capital, the north and south of the capital, are waiting in front of the official detention sign, how is the war in Liaodong? There should be news!

I've been in the bag for so many years, but I have to do a good job with me, and I can't lose!

Xu Jie and the others saw that the people were so concerned and wanted to hide it, after all, what Xia Mu did could not be understood, it had been half a month, could it be that he had trained the ability to escape! Not a single victory was won, and the pressure on the cabinet was great.

It's just that Xu Jie hasn't come up with a way yet, but Yan Shifan asked Shuntianfu to announce the battle situation in Liaodong one step earlier, and it was announced truthfully.

When the citizens first heard the news of the Northern Expedition, they paid fanatical attention.

The story of "Xia Mu Military Training" has also been circulated for a while and is a household name.

They were right to associate this novel name with this fresh war. However, later, the news from Ning Yuanbo suddenly fell silent. Someone brought news from the northwest that the border guards were being transferred. This seems to be a bit loud, but some people retort that the transfer of troops is a common thing, and how do you know that it is transferred to the east, west, north and south?

In short, there is no clear evidence that Xia Mu is actively preparing for the Northern Expedition. So people deny their convictions on the grounds that they used to deny skepticism. Because in these turbulent and volatile times, there is one thing that could have been said with all too certainty.

The imperial court's oath to the ancestral gods is the same as its random wish to the common people, which is not necessarily counted.

Now the citizens have correctly deduced from this unreliable news that this war is basically hopeless, and they know all day long that they can run and be able to top a melon baby! In the end, it's still a matter of pomp and circumstance.

Ning Yuanbo was sent by the citizens to be the first traitorous minister, the misguided minister, the second enemy Luan, and many other infamy, and some people even secretly went to the door of Ning Yuanbo's mansion to throw eggs and rotten vegetables.

In the officialdom, in the minds of some people, the evaluation of Xia Mu has a duality, on the one hand, although his reputation has always been discredited, he is very despised by him, and on the other hand, because of his good fortune a few days ago, he is very envious of him.

In the officialdom, Xia Mu has become a sweet spot that you can't analyze. The first-class officials, such as Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen, naturally said good things for Xia Mu, and the second-class officials remained neutral, and the first-class ones had to turn around and go to Yan Shifan.

The most sorrowful is undoubtedly Xu Dang, Xia Mu is a student of Xu Jie, and now this student is incompetent and disgraced in Liaodong, and the teacher naturally has no face.

Xu Jie let go of Xia Mu's matter, and went to find Chen Hong again, after all, Yang Jisheng was still imprisoned in the Dongchang prison!

But Chen Hong, seeing Xia Mu's bad reputation, also chose to resign.

"Wow! It's a bit difficult for our family. Chen Hong looked at Xu Jie, who came to intercede in front of him, and replied after a long time, "The day before yesterday, the Yan Donglou came, and he also said that he wanted to kill Yang Jisheng. Our family doesn't look at his face, but also on his face. ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he didn't like it in his heart, but he wanted to say two good words, and first save Yang Jisheng's life: "The admiral is righteous, and the old man naturally knows the difficulties of the admiral, but Jiaoshan can't die, he is the old man's student, I, as a teacher, can try to protect him, the admiral is on the old man's face, and he is accommodating!" The old man will be grateful! ”

Chen Hong didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and when he heard Xu Jie's heavy salute, his face showed a look of embarrassment, and then he made a decisive decision, "It's okay!" Who taught our family to be an upright person, since this is the case, a word is a certainty, with our family, Yang Jisheng will not be able to die for a while and a half! ”

Although it also contains the meaning of plate cutting price, Xu Jie knew that what he said was also true, and he said that it counted.

"Can you let the old man see Jiaoshan?"

Chen Hong nodded with a smile, and immediately asked the fan of Dongchang to take Xu Jie to the edict.

In the edict prison, Yang Jisheng sat in a dark corner, his whole body was already scarred, and he heard the voice of the teacher Xu Jie, who came from outside the prison, raised his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw the teacher standing at the door of the prison with white hair, and suddenly thought of the teacher's kindness, and his eyes were moist.

"Teacher, they are all students who are sorry for the teacher's teaching, and the teacher is tired!"

Xu Jie hurriedly helped Yang Jisheng up and sighed: "You kid, a tendon, stubborn to death, I know that you have a bullish temper, and something will happen sooner or later!" ”

When Yang Jisheng heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Teacher, seeing that the traitorous ministers have misled the country and the Ming Dynasty is in danger, how can we and other scholars not be angry and rush to the crown!" ”

Saying that, Yang Jisheng asked Xia Mu: "It's been a month since Guangzhong went to Liaodong, I don't know how the battle is going?" ”

Xu Jie sighed even more when he heard this, and these students were not worried about one or two of them: "Since the establishment of the Xuanfu Envoy on the Yizhou front, although there has been no formal engagement with Meda, it has to deliver one, sometimes two, or three copies of the 400-mile emergency report to the military department remotely controlled in Beijing every day, which is the nail that Yan Song planted in Yizhou......"

Yang Jisheng heard that there was a battle report from Yizhou, and hurriedly asked, "How is the battle going?" ”

"Battle Situation!" Xu Jie snorted coldly, "The content of the emergency report is almost the same as attacking the Yizhou Command, either that Xia Mu has no announcement and is willing to provoke troops, or he is staying and delaying the opportunity. And Guangzhong knew that so many eyes were staring at him in the capital, so he was good enough to let the soldiers run outside the city every day! I don't know what I think, if I want the old man to say, I have to wave Jinzhou as soon as possible, no matter how he is, take the next city first, and then block Yan Shifan's dog's mouth! ”

Yang Jisheng is in Di Dao all the year round, and he still knows a thing or two about the military situation at the border pass, and when he heard the teacher say this, he knew that the teacher did not know the current military situation at the border of Daming, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The teacher is also confused, and there is no way to do it in the light, he has these tens of thousands of horses in his hands, if there is no opportunity for the right time, place and people, how dare to fight!" ”

When Xu Jie heard this, his brows furrowed: "The commander of the Hebei Frontier Army often has a document to declare the Jingfu Fang, and the newspaper all says that the border soldiers are strong and strong, how can there be no soldiers?" ”

"Teacher, how can you listen to those people! Originally, the Hebei Frontier Guards had four military regions: Gaoyangguan, Dingzhou, Damingfu, and Zhendingfu, but since Qiu Luan dismissed the troops and begged for peace, these military regions have long been in vain, and there are some remnants of the army who are tired and tired, and they are only enough to bully the people in the local area, and they cannot establish a military headquarters at all. The nominal commander of the Hebei Frontier Guards actually had no division to command, so he had no choice but to excel at geographical victories and work hard in espionage work. Indeed, he sent some men into the territory of Alta to constantly report to the higher levels the military information which had been interviewed in truth, obtained only by hearsay, with his own subjective assumptions, and which had been created entirely by his rich imagination. But these things are all false, and they can't be true! The teacher is not in the military department, how do you know that Daming has reached the most dangerous moment! ”
