After listening to the military report sent by Xue Guoguan in a hurry, Zhu You, the great emperor, began to feel a little impetuous, but because of the emperor's majesty, he had to forcibly suppress it. But none of the important ministers under the Danqi is not a veteran of observing words and feelings, and the emperor's every move falls in their eyes, and they have long understood that this son of heaven is angry and anxious in his heart at this time. However, what can be done, a few people are not familiar with military affairs, adhering to the principle of saying less and doing less mistakes, silence is the best way to deal with it at present.

In fact, this is really the case, whether Zhang Sizhi or Xue Guoguan, and even several ministers who have newly entered the cabinet have no experience in knowing the use of soldiers, if they can talk about civil affairs one by one, even if they say some strategic insights on the war from a macro perspective, they can also answer like a stream, but now it is specific to the details of the success or failure of the First World War, every word that is said by the important ministers is responsible, if it is successful, they will naturally be happy, but if it is a failure, according to the temperament of this son of heaven, he will inevitably become the culprit of all failures, The fruits of decades of ups and downs in the sea may be wasted overnight.

The silence of the important ministers made Zhu Youzhen even more angry, but after more than ten years of experience on the throne, he also understood that losing his temper was useless to these ministers. For a moment, he even missed the days when Yang Sichang was in the center, no matter what, Yang Qing could put forward a pertinent proposal every time there was a war, and he would not pretend to be stupid and stunned to the ministers who were eating these corpses under the Danqi. There are not many important ministers who know the soldiers in the court, and there are two of them who can be the best ministers, one is Yang Sichang, and the other is Sun Chengzong.

Yang Sichang was picked up by Zhu Youzhen, and he was also loyal to him, although his ability has always been questioned, and he has been mostly responsible for talking about soldiers on paper, but in this Central Plains turmoil, he finally swept away many rumors and raised his eyebrows. However, before the Central Plains is stable, it is not suitable to transfer him back to Beijing. As for Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youzhen treated him with a contradictory feeling, both with deep jealousy, but also had to use it. Of course, Shanhaiguan is the gateway of the Beijing Division, so it is naturally much more important than Zhenyuwei, and it is impossible to abandon the basics.

At this time, Xue Guoguan suddenly mentioned: "Shengshang, the former Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng was seriously injured in the last year, and now he is still recuperating in Beijing, it is better to summon him to ......"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor interrupted Xue Guoguan with a disgusted expression, waved his hand and said, "The general of the defeated army, what is the use of summoning it?" ”

In fact, before he joined the Kou last year, he still had a lot of appreciation for this person, and he has always been cultivated as a rising star. However, the turning point in Lu Xiangsheng's attitude was also when he was captured in the East last year, in fact, every detail of Yang Sichang's strategy at that time was more or less agreed or understood by Zhu Youzhen, and many of them even came directly from Zhu Youzhen's instructions.

It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng not only did not deeply understand Zhu Youzhen's intentions, but insisted on singing the opposite, and the director not only failed to play its due role in the First World War, but the whole army was wiped out, and he almost died in the army.

This kind of minister, who only knows how to blindly fight the enemy and lacks flexibility, is extremely unpopular with Zhu Youzhen, and of course will not give them the opportunity to continue to speak out in the court. But Xue Guoguan's reminder gave Zhu Youzhen another inspiration.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes swept majestically at the ministers under the Danqi, and whoever swept his gaze was like being roasted by a scorching charcoal fire, standing restlessly, for fear that the emperor would name him. However, the emperor's next words made them breathe a sigh of relief, and it was clear that he didn't intend to force them on the shelf.

After a few seemingly irrelevant complaints, the emperor's words suddenly changed, which made several important ministers, especially Zhang Sizhi and Xue Guoguan, vigilant, but in vain.

"It is reported that Liu Qing had a cold wind a few days ago, I don't know if it is very good?"

Liu Qing in the emperor's mouth made Zhang Xue and the others sink for no reason, and the reference was naturally Liu Yuliang, the former cabinet chief assistant, Liu Yuliang Since he was snubbed last time, although he has not been demoted, he has been idle by the emperor, and it is confusing to go up or down, and now the emperor suddenly mentioned it, Zhang Xue and the two immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

It is not said whether Liu Yuliang is incompetent, but this person is the only one among several old ministers in Beijing who knows the soldiers with the qualification of the first assistant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was this person who took the initiative to ask Ying to personally go south to coordinate the war in Zhili, and successfully entered the siege of Dongyu and got in touch with Sun Chengzong, and after the fall of the city, he successfully escaped and returned to Beijing safely. In this way, although he has not made many achievements, it is within the reach of the flying man, but who can deny the courage and vision of this person in military affairs? Therefore, no one dares to say a word if they are called a soldier and a heavy minister, otherwise they will be asked a rhetorical question, and they will dare to enter the encirclement, and no one will dare to answer lightly.

Liu Yuliang's situation is also clear to them, where is the wind and cold, the old man's body and bones are tougher than ever, after half a year of raising not only fat, but also full of red light, where he looks like a sick person. said that he was sick, but he just wanted to avoid suspicion, and now that the emperor thinks of him, I'm afraid no one can stop this person's comeback!

The ministers' thoughts are right, Zhu Youzhen does intend to make Liu Yuliang come back, although there is an imperative flavor in this, but there is no mistake in the intention of revenge, don't the ministers plan to be alone, then create a crisis for you and recall Liu Yuliang back to the cabinet.

The center of the cabinet is the Daming Pivotal Mansion where capable people live, and it is not a place where some people who only care about intrigue all day long and retreat once there is a war.

Liu Yuliang lived in seclusion for half a year, and the emperor did not let him return to his hometown from Beijing, nor did he let him come to work, so he simply locked himself in the study of the back house all day long. When the little eunuch in the palace came with the holy decree in hand, he proudly said to the left and right: "This is the old man called by the saint!" ”

After he dressed up to receive the order, it was indeed the emperor who summoned him to the Forbidden City to discuss matters. All of a sudden, Liu's mansion was boiling, and the servants ran to tell each other, and the hard days were finally coming out. With the loss of power of his own Liu Xiangye, the prestige of the six officials in front of the prime minister of these subordinate servants has also disappeared, and this kind of loneliness in the world, and even the situation of being despised, can be regarded as making them suffer a lot.

Now, in the blink of an eye, I will fly up to the branches and make the phoenix.

Liu Yuliang received the holy decree, did not stay for a moment, did not even sit in a sedan chair, and rode directly to the Forbidden City. The emperor was in a hurry, he was more anxious than the emperor, for fear that he would go too late, and he would receive a holy decree halfway, so that he didn't have to go. Of course, these ideas of gains and losses are very nonsense, and Zhu Youzhen in the Wenhua Hall was silent, just waiting for Liu Yuliang to appear.

Although Liu Yuliang lives in a simple place, it is not the same as being isolated from the world, and none of the big and small events in the past six months have leaked his ears and eyes, and the emperor's preparation for this summons must be related to the war in Datong Mansion. Hearing that the town guards were under siege and would soon be broken, he was still faintly excited in his heart.

Zhenyuwei is Li Xin's territory, and it is also the place where he started, and even the origin of the name of his military camp, once it falls, it is not difficult to imagine the big blow to it. He had a hundred ways to push Li Xin and make him fall into the unlucky pit in advance, but he also needed the emperor's reactivation, and now he really wanted to sleep The emperor handed over the pillow.

However, it is necessary to think carefully about how to satisfy the emperor and make Li Xin unlucky, only in this way can he get what he wants. This half-year of closed-door hard study was not in vain, he summed up the important reason for the previous failure, that is, when he attacked Li Xin, he also touched the emperor's interests, which of course would cause the emperor to counterattack. But what if Li Xin was artificially stripped from the emperor before attacking him?

Naturally, you will get twice the result with half the effort! Liu Yuliang, who was riding on the horse, was intuitively refreshed, laughed unconsciously, raised the whip and crackled, the horse under his crotch was in pain, and he spread his hooves and galloped away. The little eunuch behind him was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and wiped the cold sweat on his head again and again, for fear that this cabinet university scholar would be extremely sad, in case the horse fell and made a mistake, Liu Yuliang's life and death had nothing to do with it, but the emperor would inevitably pursue and anger him.

The little eunuch was frightened and urged his crotch to get off the horse, shouting while chasing: "Liu Xiang slow down, Liu Xiang slow down......"

But two sentences were shouted, where was Liu Yuliang's figure, and he had long disappeared without a trace.

"Minister Liu Yuliang knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Under the Danqi of the Wenhua Palace, Liu Yuliang landed on the ground with his head, and his voice was a little choked in the end, pouting his ass and reluctant to get up for a long time.

"Liu Qing, hurry, hurry up!"

Liu Yuliang's appearance made Zhu Youzhen, the son of tomorrow, also a little moved, and the drama of the monarch and the minister meeting each other was also performed very well, after you came and went. The emperor was calm and majestic, and Liu Yuliang also straightened up with a trembling body, and tears were still hanging on his wrinkled old face.

"The situation under the current shape is very different from the situation last year, although Datong is critical, after all, there is Xuanfu Hong Chengchou here, according to Lao Chen, this person has always known the soldiers and is good at planning, and it will definitely not make the Dongyu soldiers endanger the Beijing Division. The current way to deal with it is nothing more than four words! ”

Liu Yuliang talked eloquently after the performance, this long-lost feeling is really good!

"Oh? Do your job? Liu Qing spoke in detail! ”

Liu Yuliang was triumphant, cleared his throat and said, "One, order Li Xin to return to the division immediately and rescue the town guards." On the two, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Xuanda, immediately sent troops to fight a decisive battle with Dongyu! ”

Li Xin is the chief soldier of the Three Guards, and Hong Chengchou is the governor of Xuanda, both of whom are duty-bound!
