I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have thought about something clearly, and he slowly sat up straight: "Last time, Qi Shangshu also said that Bu Wan's Pingyan Sance was very good, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he was actually the person of King Yan." ”

Not long ago, Pingyan was sent to Beijing with three strategies, and it was rare for Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to say yes together, but there were differences in the adoption of the upper, middle and lower three strategies.

Before he could fight for it, and he hadn't decided which strategy to use, he suddenly received news of Bu Wan and King Yan's fornication.

And at the same time, there was also the erosion of the northern army and the defeat everywhere.

In the end, I saw the letter to the generals and the people, so in the past two days, Zhu Yunwen was attacked in a row, and he was ashamed and angry.

"Back to the Holy Heavens." Qi Tai said: "This is just a letter written by King Yan to Bu Wan, and it doesn't represent anything, it is very likely that King Yan is sowing discord." ”

"I'm afraid that Bu Wanzhen will do this, he has an army of 100,000 in his hands." Huang Zicheng interrupted Qi Tai.

When Zhu Yunwen heard the 100,000 army, his face twitched slightly.

"Bu Wan is a very talented general." Qi Tai said categorically: "It can be seen from his Pingyan three strategies--"

"The loyalty of the minister is the most important." Huang Zicheng interrupted him again: "The minister recently watched the Tang reports from all over the country, Yan Rebellion is invincible, and countless surrenders have been made in various places. ”

"The only Shanhaiguan guard is the brother-in-law of the saint, and he is loyal to the saint."

Zhu Yunwen nodded approvingly, the surrender of the north was too fast, and it was only a few days? So at the moment, Zhu Yunwen also feels that loyalty is the most important, and everything else is fake.

Fang Xiaoru on the side sighed secretly, Fang Xiaoru actually didn't support Zhu Yunwen at first, but he couldn't stand the support of Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru couldn't persuade him, now that the situation has reached this point, Fang Xiaoru, who has always supported tolerance, finally has no choice but to support the use of troops.

"Holy Lord, please play." Fang Xiaoru said at this time.

"Fang Aiqing, please speak."

"Taking advantage of the fact that King Yan now only has one place in Beiping, the imperial court should mobilize a large army as soon as possible, and exterminate the rebels with dozens of times the strength, and must not let the flames of war spread to Shandong and other places in Hebei."

"I think that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is useless."

Fang Xiaoru didn't say a word, everyone can understand it, once he passes Shandong, it will be approaching the capital.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen heard it, his face changed slightly, and he nodded heavily: "I have made up my mind, mobilize an army, and conquer Yan Wei." ”

Qi Tai immediately asked, "What about Bu Wan?" ”

"Ordered to raid the house, and Liu Zhen temporarily led his army." Zhu Yunwen no longer believes in Bu Wan, as Huang Zicheng said, the most important thing is the loyalty of the generals.

As Fang Xiaoru said, as long as there are many soldiers and horses, and the power of the whole country, it is useless for King Yan to use any conspiracy and tricks.

Qi Tai was disappointed, Liu Zhen's ability was not as good as one-tenth of Bu Wan's.

"Who's the boss?" Zhu Yunwen asked at this time.

Huang Zicheng immediately said: "The minister recommended Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, and seemed to feel good.

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "The minister thinks that Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, is better. ”

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "The Marquis of Changxing is sixty-six years old, can he still lead troops?" ”

Qi Tai said loudly: "After the ministers and the court are up, especially the governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, most of them are meritorious heroes, and they have no experience in leading troops. Among them, Xu Huizu is actually a very good talent, but Qi Tai knows that Zhu Yunwen will definitely not rest assured.

"However, the Marquis of Changxing is the founder of our dynasty, Changxing was the place of contention between my dynasty and Zhang Shicheng, the Marquis of Changxing held on here for about ten years, he was outnumbered, experienced more than a dozen vicious battles of all sizes, and was invincible, so that Zhang Shicheng's goal could not succeed."

"As Lord Huang and Lord Fang said, the counterinsurgency general doesn't have to have any peerless talents, as long as he is loyal to the saint."

"The eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, Geng Xuan, is also the brother-in-law of the saint, and he is also loyal to the Shanhaiguan, so the Geng family is definitely loyal to the saint."

Huang Zicheng did not raise any objections this time, because the generals were loyal and he put forward it, and Geng Bingwen of Qi Taiti was indeed suitable.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, didn't see Huang Zicheng objecting, and knew that he also acquiesced.

At the moment, he sighed: "I think that when I opened the country of the Ming Dynasty, the good generals were like clouds, and the fierce generals were like rain, and now the whole country is up and down, only Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen and Wuding Hou Guo Liang are the only remaining veterans who can use them, I really can't bear to alarm them." ”

But having said that, Zhu Yunwen quickly discussed with the three ministers and decided that Fang Xiaoru would write an edict to fight back against the generals and the army, and at the same time recruit a large army to encircle and suppress Yan Rebellion.

After Qi Tai left the palace, he came to the house of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, as soon as possible.

He talked about the deliberations of Wuyingdian and Xu Huizu, and finally asked, from the perspective of Wei Guogong, can he fight with Yan Rebellion?

Xu Huizu's face was a little unsightly, because he obviously felt that Emperor Jianwen still didn't trust him.

In fact, he really wanted to lead the troops in person and teach King Yan, a traitor, and Zhu Gaoxu, an unscrupulous son.

Looking at Qi Tai's expectant eyes, Xu Huizu finally couldn't hold back: "Let me lead the troops now, I am 100% sure that the chaos will be quelled within two months." ”

“。” Zitai.

Xu Huizu's face remained unchanged, and then he smiled, the reason why he said this was nothing more than to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

He can't insult the saints of today, he can only use such words to express his dissatisfaction.

Qi Tai's face was embarrassed, and he sighed: "Wei Guogong's ability, Tai has never doubted it, it's just--" It's just that what I said doesn't count.

Of course, Xu Huizu would not embarrass him, and immediately said: "Geng Bingwen is good at defending, and in the ten years of Changxing back then, he used defense instead of attacking, and the most important thing is that he had Wen Xiangqing by his side at that time. ”

Wen Xiangqing is known for his resourcefulness, Geng Bingwen knew his talent, invited him into the shogunate, all the defensive battles of Changxing were decided by Wen Xiangqing and Geng, and he was also the biggest contributor to Geng's defense of Changxing.

After that, Wen Xiangqing was the highest secretary of the military department, and he was also a talent recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xu Huizu's words are obvious, Geng Bingwen's level is okay, but most of the previous records are due to Wen.

And he is good at defending, not attacking.

"How's that good?" Qi Tai looked a little anxious.

Xu Huizu lowered his head and pondered: "King Yan's troops are still small, and the imperial court suppresses them with several times the strength of the army, as long as the master does not make mistakes, the chance of winning is still very big." ”

"Geng is still relatively stable in fighting, he shouldn't make mistakes, and he will be matched with a few good generals to him, or he can fight."

"What is a good general?" Qi Tai asked.

"They all command Sheng Yong, can be good at writing and martial arts, have excellent arm strength, and command troops in a good way; The governor of the right army is safe, he has worked with Zhu Di, and he is good at cavalry--- Xu Huizu reported several good generals in one breath, and he originally wanted to say Qu Neng, but he thought that Qu Neng died a son in order to help him chase Zhu Gaoxu, and he was embarrassed to say it.

Qi Tai kept them in his heart, although he was the secretary of the military department, his understanding of the ability of the generals of the imperial court to lead the troops was indeed far inferior to Xu Huizu.

After coming out of Xu Huizu, Qi Tai went directly to the house of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing.

This was asked by Emperor Jianwen to come over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Tai entered the courtyard of Geng's house, he saw Geng Bingwen holding a big long knife, waving it in the courtyard, dancing in the wind.

Seeing Qi Tai coming in, Geng Bingwen danced more energetically, and looked at Qi Tai from time to time.

Qi Tai laughed dumbly, at such an age, Geng Bingwen was still like a child, obviously heard something, and deliberately played it to Qi Tai.

Qi Tai waited for him to finish his training, and asked him directly without beating around the bush if he was willing to lead the troops.

Geng Bingwen said that it is okay to lead the troops, but he must give me a few good generals.

Qi Tai asked with a smile, who do you want?

Geng Bingwen also read the names of several generals, among which Huo Ran had Sheng Yong and Ping'an, as well as Qu Neng.

Qi Tai said, Qu Neng just died of his son, I'm afraid he doesn't want to fight.

The next day, the imperial gate listened to the government, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together.

The young emperor looked at the hundred officials, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents, but there are only a few civil officials who can be regarded as confidants, and there are only a handful of military generals who can be used.

Waiting for the ministers to stand still, the eunuch Wang Yue sang to the below: "Xuan, Cheng Ji, a professor in Yuechi County, Guang'an Prefecture, Sichuan, will meet you." ”

The faces of the ministers of the court and the central government suddenly changed, and many of them seemed to think of something, and their faces showed shock.

Cheng Ji is a bit like Yuan Hui and Yao Guangxiao, and can be classified as a warlock.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, he was a professor of county studies in Yuechi.

The professors of the Ming Dynasty were divided into professors of medicine, Confucianism, and martial arts.

The prefectural professor will be equivalent to the director of the prefectural education bureau in the future.

One night, Cheng Ji watched the sky at night, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, and after taking a hexagram, he wrote the next day: "There will be rebels in the north, probably next year." ”

At that time, the imperial court immediately blew up when it saw this, because you Cheng Ji is a professor of county studies, and you can say this kind of Jianghu warlock when you are engaged in education?

At that time, Jianwen had already ascended the throne and had not yet changed the yuan the following year, and he was also furious when he saw the twist, because it was a bad omen.

As soon as I ascended the throne, you said that there was a war disaster in the north? What about the dismantling platform?

At the moment, he arrested Cheng Ji and returned to Beijing with the crime of confusing the public with evil words, preparing to kill him.

Cheng Ji was not afraid, he begged the imperial court: "Please be merciful, can you imprison me first, if my prediction is not good next year, it will be too late to kill me." ”

Zhu Yunwen really didn't kill him.

Now that King Yan has raised troops, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly released him as soon as possible.

After being closed for so long, Cheng Ji's physical condition is not very good, but when he walked into the main hall, he was still very temperamental.

"Thank you for the grace of the saints, long live the saints, long live the saints." He walked under the royal gate, immediately knelt down, and shouted long live.

"Cheng Aiqing, please get up." Zhu Yunwen said in a good voice.

Then the eunuch Wang Yue read out a holy decree and promoted Cheng Ji to edit for the Hanlin Academy.

The main activities of the Hanlin officials were mostly the daily work of the imperial court, such as the drafting of edicts, the compilation and revision of historical books, and the lectures of the feasts.

Cheng Ji is equivalent to ascending to the sky in one step, and he has risen to four levels in a row.

Cheng Ji said at this time: "The war disaster has started, the people are suffering, and the minister implores the saint to send troops as soon as possible to save all the people for the sake of the common people in the world." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked embarrassed: "King Yan is my fourth uncle, flesh and blood are connected, blood is integrated into water, how can I bear it?" ”

"For the sake of the people of the world, please make a decision quickly." Huang Zicheng immediately came out of the queue and knelt down.

"Holy Lord, save all nations from fire and water." Qi Tai also hurried out of the ranks.

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty already knew the emperor's determination, and almost at the same time knelt down and pleaded in unison: "Please Holy God, save all the people from fire and water." ”
