I have to say that what Huang Zicheng said is still very effective for Zhu Yunwen, especially the last sentence, if Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is enabled, then the next time it will not be the Southern Army attacking Beiping, but the Beiping Army attacking Yingtian.

Out of such a matter as King Han, Jianwen is also suspicious now, except for the few henchmen around him, these are all important ministers left by his grandfather, and they are also talented people recognized by his mother, and the rest of the civil and military ministers, Jianwen is not looking for them at all.

As long as there is something in the court, unless it is some small problem in various places, such as what food is not enough to eat, and what bandits are making trouble, these will all be left to the courtiers below to make their own decisions, and for the rebellion of King Yan, this kind of thing is discussed by Jianwen and the four treasures of Jianwen.

Jianwen is young, and without the emperor's grandfather, he understands that it is not so easy to be the emperor, so free and easy, and now there are few people he can rely on, except for the students of his grandfather in front of him, who else can he rely on?

"Aiqing is reasonable, this Xu Huizu is the brother-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who can guarantee that he will lead the imperial army to the battlefield, will he turn his head and attack me with Zhu Di!"

"But if you don't let Wei Guogong fight, who else can stop Yan Wangdi?"

Jianwen said and looked at Huang Zicheng, but Huang Zicheng couldn't find a good general who could fight against King Yan for a while, but let him stop Xu Hui, the Duke of Wei, from fighting, he was one by one.

Qi Tai still didn't give up, and still persuaded: "Your Majesty, although Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is the brother-in-law of Zhu Di, the King of Yan, but the Duke of Wei himself is very contemptuous of the King of Yan!" Especially this time Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops to rebel in Beiping, after he heard the news, he came to the minister as soon as possible, wanting to send troops to quell the rebellion for the imperial court! ”

"When the minister Guan Wei Guogong mentioned Yan Wang Di, he was furious and indignant, and he also told the minister that if the court could worship him as the commander, he would definitely put down the Beiping rebellion in one fell swoop and capture King Yan and return to Beijing!"

"Your Majesty, there are no generals in the court who can be appointed to fight at the moment, it is better to let Xu Huizu fight this time, he is loyal to His Majesty!"

It's okay that Qi Tai didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Huang Zicheng, who was speechless about Jianwen's question, came to his senses again, and immediately knelt in place, straightening his back.

"Your Majesty, even if there is no one in the court for the time being, we must not use Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, until the last resort, we can't afford to take this risk, not to mention that Li Jinglong just lost for a while, why did Cao Guogong lose this battle? Defeat is defeat before we no one got the news, the three kings of Liaodong will actually rebel with King Yan, now that I think about it, the Jinyi guards we planted in Liaodong should have been cleared by them! ”

"Your Majesty, now our army's vitality is still there, although this battle was lost, but it did not hurt the vitality of our army, Cao Guogong is still there, although his soldiers have lost, but they still have a very big advantage over the Beiping army, Your Majesty, please give Cao Guogong another chance!"

Jianwen thought for a moment after hearing this, and nodded approvingly.

"That's right, that's right! Indeed, before this, we did not receive any news, the three kings of Liaodong actually had such courage to rebel with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, this is also the key to losing this battle, if it happens again, I believe that Cao Guogong should not be defeated! ”

"By the way, I remembered that when I went to Beiping to inspect, Beiping City was thick and high-walled, and it deserved to be the first important town in the north of my Ming Dynasty! In addition, the northern soldiers and horses fight with the Yuan people all the year round, brave and good at fighting, although the imperial army is numerous, but after all, most of them have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood, as long as they fight a few more battles, as long as they fight a few more battles, they will immediately be different when they see blood! ”

Huang Zicheng was overjoyed after hearing this, he didn't expect His Majesty to have thought of this.

"What Your Majesty said is that this soldier is becoming more and more brave the more he fights, and I believe that the next few battles will definitely be different!"

Qi Tai saw that His Majesty was moved again, and he still wanted to continue to use Cao Guogong, he was also anxious, and he wanted to persuade again, but as soon as his mouth opened, before his throat made a sound, he was blocked by Jianwen raising his palm.

"My heart is decided! Say no more, and give the word now! Order Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, to rectify his soldiers and horses, and fight King Yan again! ”

Out of the imperial study, Qi Tai quickly caught up with Huang Zicheng.

"Lord Huang, what are you going to do? This Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is a well-deserved gentleman, he does not have his father's combat talent and ability at all, you recommend Cao Guogong to continue to serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition this time, what if you lose again this time? ”

Huang Zicheng looked at Qi Tai and was unconvinced: "Lord Qi, can't you still see clearly?" The reason why Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, wanted to be the commander of the Northern Expedition was not because he wanted to lead my imperial army to defect to King Yan as soon as possible, so that he could kill the horse pistol? That Wei Guogong Xu Huizu is the brother-in-law of King Yan, and the two of them hit it off, and when the time comes, I am only afraid that I will be in danger! ”

"In short, as long as I still have a breath, I will never watch you make a big mistake, and I will never let Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, take charge of the handsome seal, we can't afford to take this risk, even if Cao Guogong lives up to his statement, but the imperial court must also use Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!"

"You ......"

Qi Tai wanted to argue with him again, but he didn't expect that Huang Zicheng would throw off his sleeve robe and leave after he finished speaking.

Qi Tai stood in place, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, he really felt that he was angry, and the measures and decisions of an official of the main military department in front of the emperor were not as important as the words of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, how could this make him feel angry?

But now, the emperor's decree has come down, how can the order be changed overnight, Qi Tai can only pray silently in his heart, Cao Guogong, Cao Guogong, if you really want to wash away your reputation as a gentleman, you must win this battle no matter what!

……

Although Beiping resisted the attack of the imperial army this time, it was only a small victory, and the imperial court was still a big business, and Beiping was still tight.

Although he is incompetent, he also knows that since there are more than 200,000 troops in Beiping now, including Duoyan Sanwei and Kaiyuan soldiers and horses, who are the best at cavalry combat in Liaodong, he knows that Zhu Di's temperament will definitely not hide in the city to fight, and he will definitely go out of the city.

Although he was incompetent, he really guessed this point, and Zhu Di really led the army out of the city.

The northern army won successive battles, the momentum was huge, and the array was placed in front of Zhengba Village, the base camp of the imperial army, and the constant drumming invited the battle, and the 200,000 troops pulled their necks and scolded Li Jinglong's mother.
