The air pressure in the Hanyang Palace was a little low, Songjiang was lost, and there was a-for-tat disagreement in the court on the responsibility for the loss of Songjiang, and the vast majority of people believed that it was Jingmu's insistence on causing Songjiang to fall, and at the same time causing Gusu to fall into a crisis.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that Jing Mu had to be disposed of! Tan Yong, the envoy of the Xitai Order, said loudly that Tan Yong rarely publicly expressed his views after entering the cabinet, and most of them were based on the meaning of Prime Minister Deng Gang.

"Wei Guogong, Jing Mu's retreat to the south was also caused by poor rescue, although Songjiang was lost, Jing Mu also hit Zuo Qingbu heavily on the river, this is a fact!" Deng Gang frowned and retorted.

"Zhao Guogong, I don't dare to agree, the deployment of the first line of the river is a strategy that has been agreed upon by the court and perfected by the cardinal, Jing Mu arbitrarily ordered the retreat to the south without notification, God knows what he is hiding!" Nie Huan said ill-intentionedly.

"Master Nie, what do you mean?!" Deng Gang said angrily.

Nie Huan sneered, and ignored Deng Gang's accusation, but said to Meng Yan: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what the reason for Jing Mu is, but the southern retreat has destroyed the established strategy of our dynasty, and now Gusu is in crisis, Jing Mu has the greatest responsibility, and the minister suggests that he take the title and dismiss the official and then return to Beijing to discuss the crime!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Tan Yong echoed.

"Your Majesty, Long Tingfei's poor rescue has caused Jing Mu to fall into a desperate situation, and the retreat to the south is a temporary decision, although Songjiang is lost and Gusu is in crisis, but Jing Mu's department has also made the Zuoqing Department of the southern invasion temporarily unable to go south or eastward, and the minister thinks that it is better to let Jing Mu and Long Tingfei come back and confront each other face to face." Seeing that there was another wave of verbal warfare in the court, Gu Sheng stood up to persuade him.

"Gu Hou, you're making peace with the mud!" Quartz said shamelessly.

As soon as Quartz's words came out, the hall was immediately quiet, they were all cabinet members, and they didn't even care about their faces, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that Gu Sheng was already making up the numbers, Gu Sheng was able to enter the cabinet just because His Majesty was taking care of Gu's family, and Gu Yanfeng's face was saved, and Quartz's words were actually aimed at Gu Yanfeng.

Meng Yan's expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Meng Yan who was standing with his eyes closed, he knew that the focus of this battle was not the problem of the loss of Songjiang, but the problem of the cabinet dispute, the cabinet of nine people, headed by Deng Gang, but in fact, the real person in charge of the cabinet was His Royal Highness King Su, Meng Yan was snubbed by Meng Yan for a period of time because of the previous things, and now the war is rising, and the space is naturally reappearing.

Deng Gang's current situation in the cabinet is very bad, he is from the dragon's minister, his son Deng Ang is the general in charge of the army, many times Deng Gang is a good man, to avoid suspicion, and it is because of this that Meng Ember has the opportunity to control the cabinet, Meng Ember, Quartz, Nie Huan, Tan Yong plus the smiling Tu Shan Yinyuan, almost occupy half of the cabinet, and the rest of Gu Sheng, although his ability is not obvious, but the Gu Yan style behind him makes people fearful, as for Fang Keming and Yuan Huaiying, everyone knows that these two are the emperor's cronies, The attitude of the two of them is to a certain extent, which is what Meng Yan means.

"Tiger, this is your cardinal's business, don't speak?" Meng Yan asked faintly, he hated the appearance of small groups very much, but where someone has interests, he can't avoid the behavior of holding a group.

"The old minister is waiting for Di Xin's military report." Yu Geng has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the cabinet, but after all, it involves national policy, and he endured until Meng Yan's questioning.

"What is Dickson doing?" Meng Yan was straightforward.

"Reshape the river defense, Di Xin's first book has been reported to the cardinal, the minister thinks it is advisable, what does Your Majesty think?" Yu Geng glanced at everyone and said.

Di Xin's first note was sent directly to the cardinal, and Yu Geng subconsciously did not transfer it to the cabinet, and even skipped Gu Yanfeng and Yanlan, this is his power, the cardinal is independent of the cabinet, and has the power to directly submit it to the emperor.

Meng Shen couldn't stand still after hearing this, and slowly opened his eyes and questioned: "Hu Shuai, Jiang Defense was jointly established by everyone, and you are using the cabinet as a decoration in this way?" ”

"King Su, it seems that the cabinet has no right to question the affairs of the cardinal, right?" Yu Geng is not polite at all, after Chen Zhiqing's death, Yu Geng's place in the military has become more and more prominent, except for Meng Huan, the king of Qin in the west, Yu Geng can be said to be a man of his word in the military.

"Huh! The tiger is handsome and mighty, and the world of Daxuan still depends on you, so you really don't need to say hello to the cabinet. "Murder and heart, Meng Ash's words are very directive.

"King Su, do you want to say that the old man wants to rebel?!" Yu Gengteng flashed in front of Meng Ember, startling Meng Ember, and retreated again and again, if it weren't for the quartz against his back, he would probably fall.

"Yu Laohu! What do you want to do?! Quartz immediately stood in front of Meng Ash.

"Quartz, don't be nervous, Yu Laohu doesn't dare to fight in this hall yet!" Yu Geng put away the anger on his body and said with a smile.

"Good! I have undiminished bloodiness in the court, if I don't get addicted to it? Meng Yan said with a smile, but the coldness in his eyes made everyone shiver.

Seeing that no one spoke, Meng Yan continued: "You don't quarrel, let's talk about it, I have already read the battle report and Di Xin's report, Jing Mu is not wrong in the war, Long Tingfei is at fault, Jing Mu is arbitrary in behavior, Long Tingfei hesitates, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yuan Huaiying stood up at the right time.

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that His Majesty had already made up his mind a decision.

"Your Majesty, although Zuoqingbu has been hit hard, the loss of Songjiang is indeed too painful for our dynasty, and the Jiangjiang defense must be adjusted." Fang Keming said solemnly.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, how can you adjust it?" The corners of Meng Yan's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes became more and more cold.

"Your Majesty, strictly guard against Jiangnan and use troops in Nanyang!" Yu Genglang said.

"Tiger, Daning's soldiers and horses in Luochen can be described as elite, once Nanyang mobilizes troops, do you know what the result is?" Meng Yan was not angry, but interested.

Yu Geng thought for a moment, clenched his fists and knelt down, and said loudly: "The old minister, please move your majesty!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone except Meng Yan grew up, not to mention that the time for Daxuan to move the capital to Hanyang was not long, that is, if Meng Yan moved the car, it was equivalent to escaping, which was a fatal thing.

"Yu Laohu! You are crazy! Using Hanyang as bait?! Quartz was the first to react, after all, he was the one who led the troops on the battlefield, and he quickly understood Yu Geng's thoughts.

"Quartz, Xiao Yu's large-scale mobilization of troops is aimed at my Chaojiang defense, he fancy Hanyang under our feet, he thinks that as long as we take Hanyang, we will be short of breath, and it will make the people lose confidence in us, but what he doesn't know is that my dynasty from Shaoling to Chengdu, and then to Changsha, Hanyang is carried out by His Majesty in order to encourage the military and the people to work together, Hanyang is not important, what matters is Your Majesty's prestige in the hearts of the people, as long as Your Majesty is in the place where the spirit of Daxuan lies!" The more Yu Geng talked about it, the more interested he became, and he actually spoke of his heroic bearing.

Meng Yan smiled in his heart, this statement is not something that Yu Laohu can say, there must be a master behind him, Meng Yan looked at Yuan Huaiying who was smiling, knowing that this was what Yuan Huaiying taught him, it doesn't matter, when the capital was moved to Hanyang, it was to put pressure on Xiao Yu, and now Hanyang has really become a thorn in Xiao Yu's side.

"Yu Laohu, you have thought clearly, leaving Hanyang is not as good as it was back then!" Meng Shen said in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness King Su, what do you think of Xijing?" Yu Geng said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Meng Yan incredulously, Xijing, Xijing is still a place for the Ning army, there are heavy troops, and moving the capital to Xijing is tantamount to whimsical.

"Your Majesty, the cardinal has ordered the Northwest Bureau to take Xijing within three months!" Yu Geng made a loud noise.

"Is there a response from King Qin?" Meng Yan asked lightly.

"King Qin's army is now supporting the wind." Yu Geng replied.

"What are your plans for Hanyang?"

Yu Geng said that he was waiting for Di Xin's second letter, in fact, the main content of this letter was how to readjust the Jiangfang, buy time for Hanyang, and make a full set of work and rest, and there was also a crucial problem that Tan Ji seemed to be a little hesitant to send troops, most of the troops under Tan Ji's command were drawn from various armies, and he had previously stated that he should take the lead in moving troops from the northwest, but it was not adopted.

"The cardinal platform has studied, we can concentrate the troops and horses in the south of Gusu, so that the Ning army thinks that we are going to fight a decisive battle in Gusu, and after the king of Qin takes Xijing, we can properly relax and give Gusu to the Ning army, and then the army will move closer to the direction of Hanyang, relying on the strength of the naval army to march in the direction of Chengdu." Yu Geng said it in an orderly manner.

This plan has been communicated with Meng Yan in private, and Meng Yan did not object, but the controversy in the court gave Meng Yan a new idea, Xijing is bound to be won, which is related to the entire northwest war situation, Nanyang and Gusu's mobilization is certain, but it is not appropriate to go to Xijing.

Xijing is located in the northwest of An'an and is the old capital, but the main force of the Ning army and the development of Daxuan over the years, the importance of the first line of the river is no longer the only one, the importance of the river is gradually highlighted, coupled with the development of shipping, the location of the "capital" is very worthy of discussion.

Meng Yan took a deep look at Meng Yan and knew that he had something to say, but Meng Yan didn't want to listen to him now, but looked at Quartz and asked, "Quartz, you are a person who has led the army, and you have also been in charge of the Great Education Order, what do you think?" ”

Quartz frowned and thought for a while, then replied, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xijing is not suitable now. ”

"Quartz, why?" Although Yu Geng was not happy, moving the capital to Xijing was the result of various deductions made by their entire cardinal, but Yu Geng could see that Quartz did not oppose for the sake of opposition, so he still asked calmly.

"Hu Shuai, the economic and strategic focus of our dynasty and Xiao Ning Dynasty are biased along the river and the coastal line, the northwest is quite desolate after the war, and at the same time can not better control the rivers and seas, before the two courts have also discussed where to set up, thinking that Jinling is the most suitable, although it is only a discussion between students, but there is also a certain truth."

"Humph! Liao Guogong, you don't want the army to take Jinling directly, do you? Meng Ember was a little dissatisfied with Quartz, who was the most easily put in a trap, and a few words made Quartz forget his role.

"What do you want, Ash?" Meng Yan stared at him intently.

This made Meng Shen cold, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, my brother is just, but I think the focus now is not on moving the capital but on how to reconstruct the river defense." ”

Meng Yan shook his head and didn't say anything, just waved his hand and looked at Fang Keming in silence.

Yuan Huaiying gently tugged at Fang Keming's sleeve, Fang Keming saw Meng Yan's gaze, and then sorted out his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, Hanyang is a good plan to use as bait to improve Xiao Zhan's status and create an illusion for Xiao Ningchao, but Xijing or Jinling are not the best choice." ”

"It seems that Keming already has a plan in mind, let's talk about it." Meng Yan smiled.

"The minister thinks that our dynasty should focus on the future, and there will be no major war internally after the unification of the Central Plains in the future, but the deployment of the big rivers, rivers and coasts needs a suitable location, and the minister thinks that it should be the capital in Lianghuai."

"Lord Fang, be cautious!" Nie Huan reminded.
