Princess Taikang saw that Liu Chengfeng was preoccupied, and she suddenly got serious, she sat up from the couch, stroked her stomach habitually, and said: "When you say this, I also think something is wrong, the queen mother said that the court should also have two legs, doesn't this mean that someone has a monopoly on power?" Is the queen mother confused? ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, put his hand on the couch and said: "I don't think so, all in all, I was too arrogant some time ago, but ...... It's okay to wait for my arrogance to pass for a while, what about you, don't think too much, you can give birth to a child with peace of mind, and I'll take care of things outside.

He stayed in Princess Taikang until the evening, and wanted to say goodbye to Princess Taikang and leave the palace, but at this time, Gao Feng ran over impatiently and said: "Your Majesty is looking for Your Highness everywhere, Your Highness, go with the miscellaneous family, saying that there is an urgent military situation." ”

"Urgent military intelligence?" Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "What is the urgent military situation?" ”

Gao Feng said: "How do you know about this slave, I just know that several cabinet ministers have entered the palace an hour ago, and I have discussed with the emperor for a long time, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that the situation is not small, and then the emperor called me to invite His Royal Highness." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The temple of the heart.

Zhu Houzhao sat in the first place, his face was a little anxious, and under his head sat Jiao Fang, Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the three.

When Liu Chengfeng arrived here, Zhu Houzhao suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Master Liu is finally here, sit down and talk, there is a military report from Shanhaiguan, you can take a look." ”

Liu Chengfeng knew that this was not the time to greet him, so he didn't twist, he stepped forward directly to pick up the newspaper, and then sat down to read, and when he saw it, he immediately frowned.

Zhang Zhenglong, the guard of Shanhaiguan, fornicated with the Mongols and led the Mongols all the way into the customs, and then the three towns of Datong, Yansui and Jizhou were in an emergency, and the border passes were suddenly in chaos.

The most important means of Daming to deal with Mongolia is the Great Wall, the Great Wall passes are many, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the passes are choked, the pass can be safe, although in later generations many people put forward the Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese to close themselves to the self-defense, and even some people trumpet what the Great Wall is useless, but only when he reaches this world, Liu Chengfeng really knows how important this Great Wall is to the Central Plains Dynasty, the armament of the Northern Song Dynasty is weak, and it is controlled everywhere, it is because the sixteen states of Youyun are captured by the Liao, The Liao people are Jin Ge Iron Horses, but the Song people are foot soldiers, and the main location of the war is actually the Guanghu Plain area, and even the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang, is in an embarrassing situation where there is no danger to defend, which shows how important the Great Wall is for the war of the Central Plains Dynasty against the northern peoples.

With the Great Wall, you can attack and retreat, if you meet Taizu, Emperor Wen such a hero, you can go out of the pass to sweep the desert, even if you meet the monarch who has no ambition, you can also rely on the Great Wall to retreat and guard, so that the alien race is helpless.

Just like this Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty dared to move the Beijing division to this Yanjing, and set up its own capital in a place that can be reached quickly from the desert in just a few days, although there is the intention of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and there is also the intention of Emperor Wen to consolidate his power, but a bigger reason is that the Great Wall, there is a Great Wall that winds from the coastal place to the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty, even if the capital is placed in Yanjing City, it is enough to sit back and relax.

Therefore, later generations always say that the Great Wall is useless, and what the Great Wall leads to self-retreat, which is really ridiculous, without the Great Wall, use the disadvantages of the Central Plains Dynasty to take advantage of foreign races, isn't this sick? In fact, whether it is Chinese or foreign, the greatest means of dealing with nomads will always be the fortress, because in this era, the war horse is always the most powerful weapon.

Shanhaiguan is the most important pass of the Ming Dynasty, here is not only connected to Liaodong and Guannei, but also the barrier of the Beijing Division, once the Shanhaiguan Pass is lost, then the Mongols gather the army early in the morning to set off, and can arrive at the Beijing Division in the evening, of course, this is the full march, without any scruples, in any case, in this Shanhaiguan line, after all, the Ming Dynasty has gathered heavy troops, and the Mongols will never rush south before they clear these forces.

However, this news is enough to make Liu Chengfeng shocked, of course he knows what Shanhaiguan means, just like in the late Han Dynasty, the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo and gathered under the Tiger Prison, this Tiger Prison is Dong Zhuo's lifeblood, and Shanhaiguan is also the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the fall of this pass, this means that the entire Ming Dynasty has no danger to defend from then on, unless it goes face to face to fight with hundreds of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry.

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, put down the report, and said coldly: "Is this Shanhaiguan guard Zhang Zhenglong crazy?" It is really hateful to recognize the thief as the father and lead the thief into the customs. ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "If I take him, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives, I have already made a decree to kill Zhang Zhenglong's three clans to set an example." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that Zhang Zhenglong has already brought his family members to take up his post before, but I am afraid that there are not many close relatives left in the Guannei." Yes, there is one more thing, this Zhang Zhenglong thief, it is said to be the masterpiece of the Mongolian Khan, the Mongolian Khan seems to have seen that Zhang Zhenglong is greedy for money, so he sent people to deal with him a lot, but Zhang Zhenglong is just greedy for money, I can't imagine that he is so mad. ”

Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Who recommended this Zhang Zhenglong?" ”

Jiao Fang hurriedly said: "It was Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong's protection." ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "What does the emperor think?" ”

The matter is already very clear, Zhang Zhenglong is greedy for money and has long received many benefits from the Mongols, but it is impossible to do such a heartless thing just by receiving the benefits of others. Liu Chengfeng dared to say that there are many people who do business with the Mongols on the border pass, and many of the guards at the pass even directly let their families smuggle goods to Mongolia to obtain high profits. It's impossible.

This person is Liu Jin's person, now that Liu Jin has suffered a blow, and he is about to be finished, he is afraid that he has not held back for a while, thinking that he is going to suffer a catastrophe, and before the newspaper that he has learned to pass by, he has already made this impatient decision.

If you use one word to describe this guard, then you can only use one stupid word, people are so stupid that they can actually be guards, Liu Chengfeng has to admire Liu Jin's vision at this time, this dead eunuch is really a bad person. Then again, if you say it in good conscience, if you are not bad enough, you will not take refuge in Liu Jin.

Liu Chengfeng asked Jiao Fang just now, and then asked Zhu Houzhao, the meaning is already very clear, now that such a big thing has happened, the emperor has to make a statement, the person was recommended by Liu Jin, and of course someone has to bear this responsibility.

Zhu Houzhao seemed hesitant. In fact, don't look at the usual Zhu Houzhao calling Liu Jin back and forth, he completely treats Liu Jin as a slave, but this slave has been calling for more than ten years, that is, he has raised a dog, and his feelings are already very deep, so letting him punish Liu Jin is obviously embarrassing him.

Zhu Hou took care of him and said: "The top priority at the moment is not to pursue responsibility, now that the Mongols occupy Shanhaiguan, the world is shaking, and it is necessary to guard against it, in this case, I am determined to fight to the death with the Mongols, and fight to the death with the Mongol Khan, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips, knowing that Zhu Houzhao had not made up his mind at this time, but he was not in a hurry, at this time he heard that Zhu Houzhao was going to drive in person, he didn't care, he would drive in person, and he would accompany him.

However, it is obvious that it is not so easy for the emperor to drive the expedition in person, and the lesson of the change in the civil fort is still there, and the emperor wants to conquer in person, and these people would rather hang themselves at the noon gate.

Yang Tinghe couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Your Majesty, by all means, Your Majesty is a daughter, how can you be in danger, I have a loyal minister and a fierce general, why not Your Majesty?" What if something goes wrong? Your Majesty must not ignore the common people. ”

"What Yang Gong said is extreme, Emperor Yingzong almost overthrew Sheji back then, and Your Majesty must not repeat the mistakes of the past." Li Dongyang also followed suit.

Even Jiao Fang had to stand up and say a few words at this time, no matter what he thought in his heart, but this state still had to be expressed. He said: "Weichen will never agree with His Majesty's risk. ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that all the cabinet scholars were opposed, so he had to turn his eyes to Liu Chengfeng, ask Liu Chengfeng for help, and said, "What does Master Liu think?" ”

He had a calculation in his heart, as long as Liu Chengfeng agreed, he would be able to override public opinion at that time, but how did he know that Liu Chengfeng would never be on his side, Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty's ambition, Weichen naturally understands, but this matter is too big, a few elders are right, Your Majesty is indeed not suitable for risk." ”

Liu Chengfeng doesn't care about the emperor's personal conquest is one thing, but this state still has to be expressed, if he expresses his support for the emperor's pro-conquest here today, then this responsibility will be great, if the emperor has a little mistake in the future, he Liu Chengfeng has great authority and the palace's trust in him, it is also broken. Even if the pro-conquest is ninety percent sure of victory, Liu Chengfeng can't afford to take this risk, so Liu Chengfeng must oppose it.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became a little angry, and said: "You always mention Yingzong, but the first emperor of Yingzong just stumbled, Taizu and Emperor Wen also had a personal expedition, they can personally conquer, why can't I succeed?" ”

Yang Tinghe said with a straight face: "There is no room for negotiation in this matter, if Your Majesty wants to levy in person, Weichen would rather die to admonish, this matter still does not need to be discussed anymore, with this effort, it is still more spent on issuing orders to order the kings of Qin in various places." ”
