Fengtian Temple simply cleaned up, and the smoke of the war had not yet dispersed, and it was bleak.

Entering the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of officials saluted, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Speaking of business, how many people are there?" Why did it hit Xuanfu in winter? How many days can Yang Xin stay? Where is Zhao Fu? Can Datong's Guo Deng help defend? ”

On the way here, Zhu Qiyu read the note repeatedly, but he felt that it was very strange, and there was little useful information on the note, which did not conform to the format of the war report, and what was presented may be a transcription by the cabinet.

There was silence in the Fengtian Temple, and no one answered.

Zhu Qiyu's face darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "Everyone speaks freely, I will never be guilty of my words." ”

Slap in the face!

A few hours ago, he also made a fuss about being convicted for his words, and cut Zhang Hui and Wang Ao, how long has it been, and he has been taught to be a man! Swallow back the words you say!

"Back to Your Majesty, this winter is extremely cold, many livestock in Xuanfu have frozen to death, and it is even more difficult to endure on the grassland."

"The news from Datong Horse Market that the herdsmen in Mobei have frozen to death this winter, countless livestock have frozen, countless herdsmen have gone bankrupt, and they have crossed the border to loot in winter."

Yu Qian stood up and said, "According to Yang Xin's war report, Warat probably dispatched more than 50,000 people to the south to fight the grass valley. Yang Xin and Zhao Fushang can hold on for more than a month, and it is best not to move Datong Town, and beware of Warat turning to Datong. ”

As soon as he heard this number, the civil and military officials were shocked. During the defense of Beijing, Warat rode 130,000 troops, besieged the city of Beijing, and this time the grass valley actually dispatched 50,000 troops, which can be called the largest number of troops after the Tumu Fort.

On paper, there are 120,000 guards in Xuanfu Town, and the real combatable soldiers are not known, and they must be much less.

After all, from the Xuande period, private service became a common practice, and there were as many as one million escapees from the guard, and Guo Deng's report in the first year of Jingtai showed that when he took over Datong Town, there were only a few hundred guards and more than 100 war horses, which was very different from the official figures.

No one dares to say how much difference there is between paper strength and real strength.

"Your Majesty, since the first year of Jingtai, after the two countries stopped their troops, they sent peace envoys to each other and concluded a peace treaty, and the two countries have not had such a large-scale expedition. Yao Kui was wrapped in a white scarf on his forehead, the white scarf was dripping with blood, and his expression was angry.

"Yes."

Zhu Qiyu felt deeply humiliated, when Taizu and Taizong, the Mobei tribes were beaten by the Ming army and were terrified, if they really dared to go south to fight the grass valley, Taizu and Taizong might not be so happy, the Fengtian Palace must be full of enthusiasm, the generals invited to fight, and the ministers applauded, as if none of them were enemies, but titles.

It's only been how many years have passed, and the Ming Dynasty is going south, and the Ming Dynasty actually wants to send an incompetent envoy to question, and the condemnation of just talking about not practicing is useless!

Only the weak can condemn at every turn, and the strong will directly use the knife!

"Weichen wants to personally lead the Beijing camp, support Xuanzhen, and divide troops to guard Juyong, Tumubao, and Huailai in case of accidents. He personally led the army to block Xuanzhen and prevent Warama from stepping on the Central Plains! "Yu Qian asked for battle.

Zhu Qiyu frowned, if Yu Qian left, would there be another change to seize the door?

"Your Majesty, Weichen please fight!"

Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, knelt on the ground: "Weichen's grandfather and father were all killed on the battlefield, and the minister is also willing to follow the example of his ancestors, stain the battlefield with blood for His Majesty, and shroud him in horse leather!" ”

Fu Ningbo Zhu Yong also stood up to ask for battle, and the nobles asked for war one after another.

However, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy, do these people want to fight Wara, or are they trying to conspire with the military power of the Beijing camp? Do you want to take the door a second time? Wolf ambition!

"Xuanzhen is to be defended, and the candidates for sending troops still need to be considered." Zhu Qiyu's heart was in turmoil, and Wara really caught him off guard when he went south.

As Yao Kui said, in recent years, the two countries have been at peace with each other. After the defense of Beijing, the two countries made peace and opened trade with each other, Jingtai also ascended the throne and became emperor in four years, Jingtai was also assassinated in five years, Warat fell into civil strife, the pressure in the north of the Ming Dynasty plummeted, and there was no record of Warat's large-scale southward movement in history, so Zhu Qiyu was very suspicious that this was a play directed and acted by some people with ulterior motives.

Yu Qian left Beijing, and his safety was not guaranteed; Let Chengguo Gong lead the troops to the battle, the ghost knows if he will first seize the door and support the emperor to be the emperor, and then go to the battle?

No matter how he chooses, he is in jeopardy.

As for the theft of internal money, compared with the emergency of the Xuanfu, it is really a trivial matter, except for calming things and swallowing the teeth in the stomach, what else can be done?

"Your Majesty, the military situation is like fire, although Yang Xin and Zhao Fu are good generals, theoretically speaking, they can defend Yueyu, but who doesn't know what accidents will happen! Please also ask Your Majesty to make a quick decision and send troops to support Xuanzhen. Chen Xunjin said.

Zhu Qiyu was in a state of confusion, and he didn't worry about who the Jingying would hand over. If there is no support, Xuanfu may not be able to resist for long, it has been four days since Yang Xin asked for help, and it can't be delayed any longer!

After thinking about it, Zhu Yong knelt in the middle of the class, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's martial arts, chasing Taizu and Taizong, Taizong's five expeditions to Mobei, and the Tatars will lose their courage when they hear the Ming Dynasty, and your Majesty will be invited to drive the expedition in person!" Bloodstained Mobei, let the Warat people pay the price! ”

"Your Majesty, please take the expedition in person!" Wang Ji and Luo Tong knelt down and shouted, and some officials knelt down to echo it.

Zhu Qiyu shot the killing machine in his eyes, let me drive to death? Do you have to kill me before you give up?

"Shut up! Zhu Yong, Wang Ji, Luo Tong, do you want Your Majesty to repeat the civil fort? ”

Wang Wen scolded angrily, looking back and shouting: "If you mention the matter of the royal driver's personal conquest again, you will be executed!" ”

"Your Majesty said that you will not be punished for your words, and the ministers can speak freely, why not, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty! Hum! Wang Ji was not convinced.

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, let alone the son of heaven!" Wang Wen glared at Wang Ji.

The two men pinched.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Qiyu burst into shouting: "Wara knocks, you don't think about how to retreat from the enemy, but you are arguing blindly above the court, hurting the harmony, you two will be fined for a month to see the after-effects." ”

Wang Ji glared at Wang Wen like a victorious general, look, the emperor doesn't dare to kill indiscriminately! The emperor knows that he is afraid!

Zhu Qiyu was very aggrieved, and according to his temperament, he directly cut Zhu Yong, Wang Ji and Luo Tong. But he has words first, and he is not guilty of his words, so Wang Ji dares to test him, this is the temptation after the theft of the internal money and the emergency of Xuanzhen, see if he listens to him? If he is not honest again, he should be the king of the dead country!

"Zhuqing, I was narrow-minded last night, thinking that you only have selfishness and no public heart, and today I know that your heart for the country and the people is wrong."

Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh: "I also want to drive the imperial expedition in person, and emulate the affairs of Taizu Taizong, but I don't have the courage of Taizu to establish the Ming Dynasty, nor do I have the ability of Taizong to seal the wolf, and coming to Xuanzhen in person will only make the generals uneasy and the soldiers distracted, so I will not follow the example of the emperor and personally conquer Mobei." ”

"Zhuqing, last night's internal money was stolen, and the thieves traced it to no avail; Today, when I heard that Warat was knocking on the side, I was so confused that I couldn't make the right decision, so I left it up to the cabinet and the military department to make their own decisions, and I just let it go. ”

Convinced!

Zhu Qiyu said soft words!

The emperor finally bowed his head to the civil and military officials!

Chen Xun shook his sleeves and bowed: "Your Majesty is really the sage of the ancients!" Long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The civil and military officials shouted long live, and the gentlemen and ministers in the Fengtian Hall were respectful, and it was peaceful.

Only Zhu Qiyu can't be happy, it's not terrible to be soft, it's terrible how to regain power.

Xing'an is right, the civil officials will take revenge on him, he didn't believe it at the time, but it was only a few hours, and the revenge came, drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, going up the house and drawing the ladder, so that he had no way to retreat, and he was not forced to make an edict against himself, which was already very face-saving for him!

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the world, but his heart was desolate. Xing'an said that taking back the celebrant and stabilizing the imperial power is the foundation of his life, but if he takes back the celebrant eunuch, he must get back the imperial power?

The ministers kept arguing, and the candidates for the expedition could not be decided for a long time, so Zhu Qiyu summoned Jin Zhong over: "Is Song Jie here?" ”

Jin Zhong nodded.

"Let Song Jie block the palace gate, and no one is allowed to leave the palace." Zhu Qiyu believes that Liku's things have not been shipped out of the palace, they are still in the palace, and there is hope to find them back.

"The slave obeys."

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and thought about the coping strategy, he didn't want to be the king of the dead country, nor did he want to be a puppet, he had to come up with a strategy to deal with it.

The ministers finally discussed the results, and Wang Zhi, Yao Kui, Zhu Yi, and Zhu Yong led 150,000 Beijing battalions to the expedition.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the list and almost fainted, you directly support the emperor! It's all the people of the emperor! Give them an army of 150,000? Just give me a white silk!

"Young Master, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian with burning eyes.

"Chengguo Gong and Fu Ningbo all have the qualifications of famous generals, supplemented by Chengshan Bo Wang Cong, Gongshun Hou Wu Jin, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong, Jiancheng Bo Gaoyuan, Fengcheng Hou Li Yong, Guangping Hou Yuan Xuan and others, all of whom can be called good generals."

"Then led by the cabinet minister Wang Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites Yao Kui, the left capital Yushi Luotong, Yushi Wang Hong, Yang Xuan, and then recruit a group of Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy to assist, and the minister thinks that he will be able to repel Wara."

Yu Qian saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the people sent by the palace are up to you." ”

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun, and Chen Xun also said that this was the final list.

"Aiqing's words are reasonable, but the Warat people are brave and good at fighting, although Chengguo Gong has the qualifications of a famous general, but after all, he is a little younger, and he has no famous battle, and he lacks the experience of commanding an army of 270,000. Fu Ningbo is the same, I still think it is safer to be in command with a veteran. ”

Zhu Qiyu pondered and said, now is not the time to go crazy, speak well.

Chen Xun rolled his eyes, isn't the best candidate Chen Mao? You killed me!

"What Your Majesty said is very true, the veterans who are suitable for taking command are not in Beijing now. The minister believes that the generals should be in charge of each other's role, not commanding each other, and assisting each other in defense. Chen Xundao.

"The snake can't be headless, there must be a commander to repel Warat!"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Young master! Eight years ago, you saved Daming from fire and water! Now that Warat is back, I think you're going to be in command! I can rest assured! ”

"Moreover, you are the secretary of the military department, and you have the experience of being a commander in the defense of Beijing, so I think that you can make the armies subdued and dare not hide your selfishness. and he will be able to open his arms and repel the Warat. ”

Yu Qian was slightly stunned, did the emperor really let him go on the expedition?

Didn't the emperor know what the consequences would be if he led the army to the army?

Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up, and his voice was high: "Zhuqing, 50,000 soldiers and horses are coming to attack, and the Ming Dynasty is once again in the midst of fire and water!" ”

"This battle of Xuanzhen will be another major battle after the Battle of Beijing, a battle that will go down in history!"

"I think that the civil ministers and nobles dispatched are far from enough!"

"There weren't enough people! The scale is not enough! It is impossible to fully mobilize the combat effectiveness of the 270,000-strong army! ”

"In this way, pick out a few lords to stay in Gyeonggi, and all the others will be dispatched!"

"Wenchen too, in recent years, Jinshi is still in Beijing, and they all went to the army to have a good experience."

"I will never allow the Warat people to set foot on the Central Plains and ravage the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Young Master Yu! I will hand over to you all the 150,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, the lords and ministers in the capital! ”

Zhu Qiyu looked excited.

Yu Qian's eyes showed helplessness, and the emperor was about to jump again.

He wanted Yu Qian to take all the nobles away, leaving a power vacuum, and he wanted to leave 50,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp!

It seems that the chains are not tight enough.

"Your Majesty!"

Chen Xun said loudly: "Although Cheng Guogong is young, he has the experience of following his father to fight, and there are many veterans and nobles, all of whom are people who can fight well, which is enough. ”

"And Gyeonggi is the top priority."

"The Beijing camp has withdrawn 150,000 soldiers, and Gyeonggi is empty, so it is just necessary for a young master like the Dinghai Divine Needle to stay in the Beijing Division, so as not to give the Warat people a chance."

"Please also ask Your Majesty not to let Young Master Yu take command of the expedition." Chen Xun put forward a rebuttal.

Zhu Qiyu sighed:

"Shousuke said yes, I'm so confused that I can't make a decision."

"If the defeat of Tumubao is repeated, with only 50,000 Beijing camps, Beijing City will not be able to be saved, and I am afraid that there is only one way to move south."

"I'm going to be Song Gaozong, I don't know who Qing can be."

"That's it, let's make the first assistant, I listen to it, let's draft the purpose."

Zhu Qiyu's voice was low, and Chen Xun's face turned green directly.

If he really loses, won't he become Qin Hui? Qin Hui's fate seems to be better, but Wang Zhen's fate is miserable.

Chen Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't do this!" Yu Shaofu is a soldier expert, what do you think? ”

He shook Yu Qian, and Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "There is no problem with the ministers taking command of the expedition, please make a decision on your majesty!" ”

He really wants to leave this place of right and wrong, the emperor is too crazy, and staying in the court will not end well. The key is that he doesn't want to be in command, the battle for the defense of Beijing, he has already made great achievements, if you add the battle of Warat in the north, I am afraid that it will not end well after coming back.

It's hard to be a courtier......

"Let Young Master Yu go on the expedition, all the nobles in the capital will go out with the army!"

Zhu Qiyu wanted to kick all the nobles with different intentions out of the capital, but he didn't have time to screen them, so he simply kicked them all out, leaving a power vacuum for Fan Guang, as for how much military power Fan Guang can control, it depends on his ability.

"The list of civil officials is drawn up by the cabinet, what I mean is to send more people out, follow Yu Shaofu, there is no danger, and you can still cultivate talents for the court, why not?"

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "The eunuchs in the palace are led by Wang Cheng, and the specific list is drawn up by the celebrant eunuch. ”

Wang Cheng was injured and needed to recuperate, but at such a moment, Wang Cheng didn't worry if he didn't go, the military power of the 150,000 army, once he returned on the way and supported the emperor, he had no place to cry.

"Yes!" Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, the emperor let more civil officials accompany him, which is equivalent to giving civil officials credit and giving him face as the first assistant.

Look, such an emperor is a bit of an emperor, hehe.

"Yu Shaofu led the army to go out, and there are also strong generals left behind in Beijing, Liang Xuan, Fang Ying, Wang Yue, Li Bing and others have not yet returned to Beijing, so let Fan Guangdai lead the troops, command 50,000 Beijing camps, and guard Jinggi, what do you think?"

Zhu Qiyu is exhausted!

His real purpose was to expand the military power in Fan Guang's hands.

"The minister has no opinion."

Chen Xun directly agreed, which confused Zhu Qiyu, the civil officials were most worried about the emperor taking over the military power, why did they have no opinion?

Zhu Qiyu was very puzzled, could it be that the internal money was lost, and the civil officials thought that I had no money to raise soldiers? Want to see my jokes?

It's so weird!

In any case, the expansion of military power is a good thing!

The revenge of the civilian officials is indeed sharp, but I control the military power, and I can kill whoever I don't want to kill? Who dares to stand in my way?

Next, discuss in detail the details of the troops, such as armor, cotton clothes, shoes and socks, household expenditures, etc., Zhu Qiyu listened carefully and studied carefully, as an emperor, he can not command a war, but he must have a strategic vision and know how to fight.

The court meeting lasted for two hours, and Zhu Qiyu was exhausted.

Returning to the Qianqing Palace by the Imperial Rim, Song Jie leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, the palace has been blocked, and no one has entered or exited." ”

"I won't hide it from you, Riku and the Inner Carrier have been stolen, and I think the treasures in Riku are still in the palace."

Song Jie was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to kneel down to ask for guilt.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, it was done by someone with ulterior motives, you will take someone to go with Shu Liang and search the palace later!" Riku's treasure must still be in the palace. ”

"Obey the order!" Song Jie's face was full of surprise, the person who can steal the inner library and the inner carrier warehouse without knowing it is not a simple person.

"Xuan Shenhuai, Li Jin, and Chen Shao came to see me." Zhu Qiyu always has to give some rewards, and then see if these people can use them.

He is still wondering, can he make a fuss by searching the palace? The inner palace has never been in control, and this time it may be an opportunity.
