"Mr. Tian, what do you think the imperial court will do?"

When there were only two people, Ye Xiaotian said to Tian Binfei. Now that Tian Tianyou is no longer wary of Ye Xiaotian, he and Tian Binfei have a lot more opportunities to contact each other privately, but he is used to being called Mr. Tian, and there is no need to deliberately change it to "uncle" or "big brother" at this time.

Tian Binfei frowned and said: "Worship preemptively, the Ningxia tribe is in his hands, and even important military places such as Lingwu and Huamachi are also in his hands. The soldiers and horses encircled and suppressed by the imperial court had just entered Ningxia at this time, and even if the military affairs went well, I am afraid that it would not be able to calm down in three or two months. ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded slightly, and Tian Binfei said: "Besides, on the Asahi side, according to the Di Bao, the Japanese Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered Kato Kiyomasa, Konishi Yukinaga and other thief chieftains to capture Busan from Tsushima, and then crossed the Imjin River, and entered the Korean Wangjing (Seoul), and the king of the dynasty Li Yu first went to Pyongyang and then to Yiju, and he was in a hurry, and seven of the eight provinces of Korea fell, which is not something that can be recovered in a short time. ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded again, and Tian Binfei said: "Our dynasty has Li Rusong as the commander of the Eastern Expedition and Song Yingchang as the strategy, leading 40,000 troops to the DPRK, and the battle to aid the DPRK has just begun. In this case, what will happen if Yang Yinglong is reversed? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "The worst-case scenario: the imperial court is unable to fight on three sides, not only Yang Yinglong will take advantage of the situation, but also the Japanese will be greatly encouraged when they hear the news, and they will definitely do their best to fight to the death, and the three parties echo each other from afar, even if I win, it will be a miserable victory, and the price paid will be ten times that of now." ”

"So......" The two glanced at each other with gloomy eyes, and Tian Binfei said: "For Yang Yinglong, the court will caress him!" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Then what should we do?" If those traitors are allowed to stay in Woniuling for a long time, that mountain will be hollowed out by them, and then Yang Yinglong will add help, and I will ...... There is no place to bury! ”

Tian Binfei's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's see if the court is as you and I expected, if it ......." I had no choice but to give up a better chance to hit Yang Yinglong, and strike first! Cleaning Woniuling and cutting some of its strength can also have a deterrent effect on him, teaching him not to dare to act rashly! ”

……

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country. The land of death and life, the way of survival, do not be careful! Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant to the cabinet, looked solemn.

In the imperial court, the cabinet ministers have been replaced a little faster, since Zhang Juzheng, Li Siwei, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Wang Jiaping and other cabinet ministers have been rotated in general. At this time, Zhao Zhigao had just been recommended by Shen Shixing, entered the cabinet with Zhang Wei, and became the first assistant of the cabinet, so he ushered in such a difficult test.

With soldiers, it is not just a battle to fight, it is not just a soldier to move, there are too many parts involved inside and out, it is not easy for him to be a big housekeeper, such a big piece of property. With great power and great responsibility, his eyelids jumped vigorously at the thought that the young and vigorous emperor was likely to go to war on three sides.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks. For Yang Yinglong, take care of him first. At this time, it is not advisable for the southwest to raise a beacon fire! Although Qiao Hanwen, the secretary of the military department, was the leader of the Eagle Party, he also knew that the danger of a war on three sides was too great, so he had to reluctantly come forward to express his opinion. He is the secretary of the military department. At this time, there must be a clear opinion, not ambiguity.

"Your Majesty, He En, Song Shichen and others have changed. It is likely that it is a factional dispute within Banzhou, so it is slanderous and slanderous, Yang Yinglong has no traces, and he should not rashly raise troops, especially now that the northwest and northeast companies are using troops, and the southwest is really not suitable to raise swords and soldiers, when He En and others are dismissed, Yang Yinglong is good at appeasement! ”

Emperor Wanli has long since gone to court, but not going to court does not mean that he will not deal with state affairs. Although some filthy literati with pen in hand, because he refused to preside over the early dynasty ceremony, he seemed to be blackened into a faint monarch who only cared about hiding in the deep palace to give birth and play.

However, when Emperor Zhengde led the army and the little prince of Mongolia in a fierce battle, when the battle was fierce, the Emperor Zhengde under the heavy defense actually because the enemy army was killed in front of him, he had to draw his sword to go into battle in person, and slashed a member of the enemy chieftain, after this battle for more than 30 years, Mongolia did not dare to provoke the Ming border again.

Such a great military feat, in the pen of those literati who killed a thousand knives, it was written that the emperor led hundreds of thousands of troops to confront the enemy, beheaded one person, and returned! This time he beheaded one person, and it was not said that the emperor killed him. If it is clear that it is the emperor who kills the enemy generals, how fierce should the battle be? How many people were killed in this battle, how many enemies were killed, and what was the record? Then I have to make it clear.

They don't like the emperor to play the imperial driving pro-conquest, and they can't stop it, so they use this kind of Spring and Autumn penmanship to disgust Zhengde, so vain, it looks like Zhengde is absurd, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to run to the border, and the result is nothing more than that.

When it comes to Wanli, the literati are still ordinary hooligans, and Wanli is in the deep palace, so he may not know about it. Even if you know who he is, you won't care. Even if he cares, he really can't help these literati, the gun is in his hand, the pen is in the hands of the literati, and these literati are not afraid of the gun.

All the ministers stepped forward one after another, almost all of them thought that it was not appropriate to use troops against the southwest at this time, and that appeasement should be the best policy. Next to him, there was a young Hanlin who was writing court records, with a thoughtful face, and he wanted to speak from time to time.

This Hanlin is called Ye Xianggao. When he was born, it coincided with the disaster of the Japanese Invaders, Ye's mother fled to her mother's house, her mother's family was superstitious, thinking that the blood was unlucky, and blasted her out, Ye's mother gave birth to Ye Xianggao in the roadside pit, so Ye Xianggao's nickname was called Toilet Boy. Just like Fan Ye of the Southern Dynasty, he was also born in the toilet, and his nickname is Brick.

Fan's mother was in the toilet at home, and Ye's mother was in the toilet on the road, and they each gave birth to a son, but they were both outstanding sons. The hardships of childhood made Ye Xianggao study hard, at the age of 14, he was a talent, at the age of 21, and at the age of 25. At this time, he had been ordained as a priest and promoted to editor.

As a close minister of the emperor, he was responsible for drafting edicts and explaining scriptures to the emperor, and was one of the important sources of auxiliary ministers in the Ming cabinet. Therefore, in the court, they also have the right to advise, but after all, they are young and knowledgeable, and in front of so many big guys, Ye Xianggao does not dare to speak easily.

After thinking about it again and again, Ye Xianggao finally mustered up the courage and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

At first, Zhu Yijun was just sad that the civil and military officials who were full of benevolence and morality, but had their own calculations in their hearts, passed the buck to each other in the court, and regarded the dignified and solemn temple place as a vanity fair for them to fight, plus he finally had a woman who made his heart move, but because of his scruples and constraints, he was easily defeated by a courtier like Ye Xiaotian, and he was a little disheartened.

There is always a minister's advice. Zhu Yijun prevaricated on the grounds of "dizziness, shortness of breath, and poor behavior", anyway, the court meeting has long become a "face project", except for some ceremonial affairs, there will be no major court affairs at all to discuss at the court meeting where all officials above the fifth rank are gathered, and it will not affect the root of his Zhu Mingxia.

But I don't know if it was a psychological effect, or if it was a hypnotic suggestion as he explained to the ministers with the same reason for his sick leave, or if it just happened that his body really began to get worse.

At this time, the group discussion of the ministers had lasted for more than an hour, and Wanli sat there, only to feel heavy in his waist and eyes. The chest was suffocating and uncomfortable. Hearing Ye Xianggao Yiyi, Zhu Yijun said impatiently: "Speak!" ”

This is a small discussion in the inner court, not a court, you don't have to go out of work at every turn, talk about it, Ye Xianggao just stood up on the spot, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the court is at this time." It is indeed not advisable to go to war on three sides......"

Boss Wanli was impatient and raised his eyebrows slightly, this is all a cliché, you stand up just to echo it again? Unexpectedly, Ye turned to the high wind. He added: "However, there is a way to caress it." The minister thought that Yang Yinglong's various actions were not without objections.

If he has aspirations for the world. The rebellion in Ningxia and the battle of Dongying could not hide it from him for too long. Previously, He En, Song Shichen and other Feishu rebelled. There were also Governor Ye and Chen Xun of Guiyang who impeached him for 24 major crimes, and Yang Yinglong was so panicked that he hurriedly wrote a book to defend himself, and sent people to Chengdu to theorize.

If the imperial court ignores these at this time and blindly appeases them with good words, then what will Yang Yinglong think? Did he think that the imperial court really believed him, or did he think that the imperial court was afraid of a war on three sides, so it used a delaying tactic against him? ”

Wanli is such a smart person, hearing this, he couldn't help but sit up straighter, and he didn't feel as tired as before, and said in a deep voice: "Go on!" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Yes! Of course, what the minister said was based on the assumption that Yang Yinglong did have opposing intentions. However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid that every move of the imperial court will involve thousands of Li Shu, which must not be careless. Therefore, the minister thought that in the case of a war on both sides, it was not appropriate for the imperial court to suppress Yang Yinglong. But how to deal with the law should be discussed. This is one of them! ”

At this time, Shoufu Zhao Zhigao also listened to it, and hurriedly said: "What about the second? ”

Ye Xianggao smiled slightly, and smiled a little sinisterly: "This second, whether Yang Yinglong really has any objections remains to be investigated." And He En, Song Shichen and others are secretly going to Beijing, what if they really have evidence of Yang Yinglong's rebellion? The emperor Chrysostom said that the court cannot go back on its word, appeased today, pardon his innocence, how to crusade again in the future? ”

Qiao Hanwen, the secretary of the military department, stroked his hands and praised: "Wonderful! This fu should be shown to be strong and powerful, so that he can't figure out the reality of the court, dare not act rashly, and never show weakness to strengthen his ambitions. At the same time, this Fu should reserve clues, just wait for Ningxia to worship the law and Dongying to retreat, and the court can free up his hands, and there must be a good reason to clean him up! ”

Ye Xianggao gave Qiao Hanwen a long swipe and said, "What Lord Shangshu said is very true! At this time, the more the court showed favor and weakness, the more emboldened Yang Yinglong became, and he didn't dare to rebel, maybe he would have reversed. This stroke, you have to master a good degree. ”

Emperor Wanli smiled, glanced at Ye Xianggao appreciatively, and said, "What Ye Qing said is reasonable. I decided to ......"

All the ministers stood up one after another, solemnly listened to the command, Zhu Yijun said: "The military department sent people to sit in Guizhou as the minister of the Qincha, and asked Ye Mengxiong to dispatch troops and make a posture of crusade. In addition, he sent a letter to Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, and asked him to write a letter to Yang Yinglong to present his feelings, and I issued another edict and ordered Yang Yinglong to go to Guiyang to defend himself and listen to the investigation! ”

The cabinet minister Zhang Wei said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Yang Yinglong is opposed or not, under such circumstances, he will not dare to go to Guiyang to listen to the investigation." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "If you don't go to Guiyang, let him go to Chengdu!" ”

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid he won't dare to go to Chengdu." ”

Zhu Yijun said lazily: "He didn't dare to go to Chengdu, so I sent the Chongqing prefect to Banzhou to investigate and asked him to listen to the survey!" ”

The eyes of all the ministers lit up, the court was like this, then it was enough to make a gesture, and it seemed full of confidence, Yang Yinglong must think twice when he saw it, I am afraid that he would not dare to easily pull the flag and rebel. And sending local ministers to investigate, you can delay making a conclusion, and if you have a conclusion, it can also be said that the local officials are wrong in the investigation, as long as it is not the tone set by the imperial court, once you have your hands freed up, you can attack again at any time!

This emperor turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, which is really good. It's just that...... Why did he refuse to go to court and arbitrate the war of the ministers, so that everyone can't quarrel now, no one is perfect!
