Shen Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded Emperor Yongchang for being an old fox, but he still kowtowed and said, "The minister obeys the order!" He bowed and withdrew, and went to the next room, looking for Prince Ren, who was letting the little eunuch warm his knees.

The emperor had just asked people to set up the imperial meal, and after a few bites of it in a hurry, Dong Jin came, and sat and waited in the small ear room at the entrance of the inner palace.

He knew that Hulun'er did not send his sister over, thinking that the emperor would definitely be furious, and all the people who handled it would be involved and implicated, who knew that yesterday the emperor had let the women on the grassland enter the palace, and today in the court, there was no movement at all, he thought that the emperor did not know about it, and was ready to continue to wait, but as soon as he heard that Shen Mingxi entered the palace, he immediately knew that something was wrong, he was very Shen Mingxi's brother's eloquence was superhuman, especially Shen Mingxi, who could always put down the emperor's anger and let his calculations fail.

"Hmph, even if the emperor still has a little spark left, I will stir it up again and become a prairie fire." Dong Jincai waited while pondering, last year, he repeatedly instigated in front of the emperor, originally wanted him to guard against Prince Ren's son, between the two, planted the seeds of mutual distrust, but he didn't expect that Prince Ren's son and him were completely different people, the other party did not oppose the emperor because he was obsessed with power and refused to back down, but chose to retreat bravely, and found an excuse to guard the house every day and not go out, where would the emperor guard against such a person? As a result, as soon as something happened in northern Xinjiang, he was immediately entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Dong Jincai hated it, officials like them who relied on the imperial examination, even if they had immortal talents, if they made a slight mistake, they were either degraded or neglected, and their skills were useless, and the children of the nobles of the clan, even if it was a piece of waste, the emperor would entrust them with important tasks, and even make a big mistake, but they only reprimanded and punished them, and did not hurt the root at all, three months later, he walked to the front of the court, and the limelight was still strong, and no one was invincible.

"I'll see how you get through this level!" Before walking into the study, Dong Jincai was still ruthless in his heart, he couldn't fight Shen Mingzhao, and he couldn't even fight a Qian Jun who was only in his thirties, which made him too shameless.

"Long live the knock!"

"Excuse me, get up."

"Emperor Xie!" Dong Jin got up and saw that the emperor did not give him a seat, so he had to stand obediently and speak: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Etiquette has told you that the etiquette of Princess Tartar has been learned, please take the time to summon you." ”

"Hmm!"

"The Tartars are asking for peace, long live not to see Princess Naren in advance? The people in the Ministry of Rites said that she was veiled all day long, which was very mysterious, and Weichen was very worried. ”

"Are you worried that she's a saltless yaksha?"

Dong Jin didn't dare to speak, the emperor's woman, how could he have the right to put a gimmick, even if it was a saltless Yaksha, as long as it was a fake princess, the emperor would have to be raised in the palace, even if he would never care about it so far, but he couldn't return the person.

But Dong Jincai knew in his heart that what Hulun'er sent was a peerless beauty, but this beauty was older, and besides, she was a widow, didn't she curse the emperor? But he didn't dare to say it now. In order to let his news be above board, he let the news go quietly, and at the same time, he can also provoke the anger of some self-proclaimed upright imperial historians, so as to provoke incidents, Qian Jun is actually the person who is solely responsible for the whole incident, Princess Naren Gaowa's age and widowhood, he must know that Dong Jincai wants Qian Jun to be ugly, if the emperor can dislike him, it would be better.

Dong Jincai pondered his words for a moment, and then said: "The Northern Xinjiang camp sent a message, saying that Hulun'er's sister is the princess of Wuyun Qiqige, but the one he sent to kiss is a princess named Naren, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

Emperor Yongchang was a little displeased, Hulun'er just proposed to pay tribute to the beauties, it was Dong Jin who asked him to ask for the princess and kiss, and now, Princess Naren can't go back, and for the sake of that horse farm, he must find a way to stay, he suddenly gave the princess and the princess to his uncle, it will definitely be surprising, he is in a dilemma, Dong Jincai is which pot is not open to mention.

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, Dong Jincai was secretly happy in his heart, and he continued: "Weichen is still wondering, I heard a rumor this morning, saying that Naren Gaowa is the sister of Shunsu Xiaowang, and she has already been married, and her husband was still killed by Mao Dun. ”

"Well, if all this is true, what does Dong Aiqing think to do?"

"Huh? It's true? None of the people who handle it can be spared, hmph, isn't this a crime of deception? ”

"Don't talk about those, how should this mess end now?"

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, punish the officials who are ineffective, return Princess Naren, and severely reprimand Hulun'er for his great disrespect, if the other party refuses to send the dark clouds over, the peace agreement of the armistice in the north will also be abolished and no longer implemented, he is now suffering from the enemy on his back, and he will definitely not dare to take Qiao in front of the emperor, if we don't take advantage of this time to pinch him, when will we stay?"

"But if this is the case, even if Hulun is superficially subservient, he must be resentful, or if the tribal leaders under his command see him so columbly, and turn to Maudun, then will we not go back to the past, and face a unified and powerful Tartar court? The border passes in the north are tighter again. ”

"My emperor doesn't have to worry, after three years of full preparation, my northern Xinjiang battalion is a strong army, already a strong general, a million soldiers, not to mention dealing with the just unified grassland Mao Dun, even all the Tartars are not afraid to come, the emperor, and the Tartars, this matter is very unreliable, can be reconciled, discord, we are not afraid of them, let Huluner just let the horses come, I Northern Xinjiang heroes, they will not return."

Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and couldn't help but praise: "Good!" I love to hear this, does Dong Aiqing have a good trick? ”

Dong Jincai boldly walked to the Kanyu map hanging on the wall, and pointed to the vicinity of the Great Black Mountain: "This Great Black Mountain Horse Farm is now in the hands of Mao Dun, and its real owner is Princess Naren who came to kiss her, we might as well take this opportunity to take the horse farm, and then force Naren to be a hostage, in the future, why worry about the lack of horses in the northern and western Xinjiang armies?" ”

Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, this is also a good way, not only to solve his current embarrassment, but also to show off the national prestige: "Dong Aiqing has a specific strategy?" ”

"The emperor and listen to Weichen's details, after three years of hard training in the northern Xinjiang battalion, the newly formed fast horse battalion has a strong strength, the sword edge is sharpened, and the fast horse battalion is not pulled out for actual drills, how do you know if they can beat the Tartar? In my opinion, this battle will be handed over to them, and the specific command will be let Liu Zili, who is under the command of the Marshal of Northern Xinjiang, this person is strategic, and there is no soldier in the military camp in Northern Xinjiang who is not admired. ”

Shen Mingxi persuaded Prince Ren, and the two returned together, Emperor Yongchang had been bewitched by Dong Jincai, and he couldn't help but wonder if he would let the Northern Xinjiang army attack once and snatch back the Great Black Mountain Horse Farm. If he can succeed, not only will he completely destroy the prestige of Hulun'er, but maybe from now on, he will obediently bow down and become a vassal of Jurong, and even Mao Dun will be deeply hit, and he will no longer dare to fight with Jurong.

Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but be immersed in his wonderful fantasy and couldn't pull it out, Shen Mingxi came, and without saying a few words to the emperor, he found that his former little friend had made a whimsical mistake again: "Your Majesty, actual combat drills are indeed the best way to improve combat capabilities, but why not fight a small battle first, let the soldiers adapt to it, and then fight this war?" What's more, the Great Black Mountain Racecourse is located at the junction of Maodun, Huluner and Jurong, and the defense is already very tight, and the guards are also extremely fierce, only suitable for outwitting, not suitable for strong attack, if Qian Jun is allowed to lead the troops to attack, there is barely a chance of winning, and the others, I am not optimistic. ”

Where was Dong Jincai willing to let go of the opportunity to go against Shen Mingxi, he said to the emperor: "Lord Shen is in the capital, and he has never even seen what the northern frontier looks like, how can he be qualified to evaluate this and that?" ”

Shen Mingxi never saves face when he speaks, and, meanly, what he said is more uncomfortable than cutting people with a knife, he replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is less knowledgeable, and his ideas are all rancid, where there are no ministers, it is good to say, wherever the ministers interfere, life is not good, such as Cao Yun, if it weren't for Lord Ning to help clean up the mess, our Jurong's north-south traffic would have been paralyzed." ”

In the winter of the year before last, the university Shi Ninglin proposed to change the transport to shipping, Dong Jin was bewitched by several transport officials, and wrote a long piece of writing a long note to the emperor, suggesting this suggestion to the emperor, and the result came according to his method, and finally the shipping was not changed, but the transport was almost paralyzed, Emperor Yongchang was furious, and sent Ning Lin to be the governor of Caoyun, Ning Lin had just gone to that two months, and he had hardly slept a nap, and the people were so thin that they were out of shape, so that they straightened out the Caoyun, last winter, Ning Lin quietly began to change the transport to shipping, and now the results are outstanding. I don't know how much silver he saved for the court, and the whole court talked about Dong Jincai behind his back, saying that he was not successful enough and had more than enough failures.

Hearing Shen Mingxi mention Caoyun, Dong Jincai's face turned the color of pig liver, and his teeth were gritted so that his cheeks and muscles came out. Emperor Yongchang waved his hand impatiently: "Just talk about things!" "Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that our northern Xinjiang army fights with the Tartars, and always wins by relying on the number of people, generally four or five to fight one, and the newly built fast horse battalion has only twenty or thirty thousand people, but the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side of the defense also have nearly 20,000 soldiers, when are our soldiers so powerful that they can be two against one? What was the original purpose of building this fast horse camp? It is to prevent the Tartars from raiding, it is specially used for rescue, and now let them be used as sharp knives, so don't break it. ”
