At this time, the eyes of the entire court were focused on Yan Jingxiu.

If you go against the mainstream opinion, you have to endure strange stares.

Zhu Jianshen on the dragon chair was a little interested, and he actually didn't have any opinions on the suggestions of the ministers to deal with the remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchens, after all, he was only a twenty-one-year-old boy. However, seeing Yan Jingxiu's resolute attitude, he still opened his mouth with great interest:

"Aiqing can express his opinion."

Yan Jingxiu saluted, and then faced the ministers, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask you a word here."

"If someone kills your father, can you still be friendly with him, and even willing to be a slave for him?"

Unable to answer from the ministers below, he asked himself and answered:

"Definitely not, the hatred of killing my father is not shared."

"Then, how do you think that Thoro will be willing to live under my Ming and be a courtier?"

"Is it only us Han people who have father-son love?"

"If he pretends to be a minister, but in fact secretly develops his strength, and waits until his strength recovers to invade my Ming again, can you be responsible for this? Which virtuous man is willing to lead the army and quell the rebellion of Jianzhou? ”

His gaze swept over the courtiers, and the courtiers who had just spoken happily closed their mouths one by one at this time, dodging his gaze.

Seeing that he had already suppressed the ministers, Yan Jingxiu turned around, faced Zhu Jianshen, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, since you have already done the slaughter, you must not be soft halfway. The grudge has been settled, and this is not something that can be resolved by you sealing a commander! ”

"If you do such a thing, you either don't do it, or you will never do it! Don't give the other party any chance to turn over! ”

"Your Majesty, there is a way—"

"Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again!"

Yan Jingxiu's words were sonorous and echoed in the square.

The court was quiet.

The gap in strength between the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding vassal states was too great, so the idea of the Celestial Empire was deeply implanted in the hearts of the ministers, who subconsciously believed that even if the leader's father died at their hands, the leader would not dare to retaliate.

If I don't kill you, it's already a gift from the Ming Dynasty, and I'm not grateful?

This is the consensus of the court, after all, no one has the ability to predict the future, and it can be known that the Jurchen Department has such a forbearable leader, and he has to wait until the strength of the Jianzhou Department recovers before invading again to take revenge.

But at this time, no courtier could refute what Yan Jingxiu said.

Are you questioning the "filial piety" in the four-character mantra "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" used by the Ming Dynasty to govern the world!

If the Jurchens rebelled, would you be able to pay for the lives of the people who died under their swords, or would you be able to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?

These two sentences pressed on it, and for a moment the court was quiet, and no one dared to speak.

And Zhu Jianshen, who was above, nodded frequently when he heard it, and his eyes were shining.

On this day, he heard a voice that was different from the previous Confucian Huairou thoughts, as if it opened a new door for him.

Either don't do it or do it!

Zhu Jianshen clenched his fists, this kind of killing decisiveness made him feel happy.

"I will send troops to completely pacify the Jianzhou Jurchens, and then build prefectures and counties in the local area, and incorporate them into the territory of my Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, it caused a commotion below. The ministers were willing to oppose it, after all, they always believed that the treatment of "barbarians" should be based on education, and if His Majesty deviated from Confucianism and Taoism, then under the continuous war, the status of nobles and generals would definitely be greatly improved, which was not good.

But when they raised their heads and wanted to stop them, they saw Yan Jingxiu standing firmly in the center, and they couldn't help but stop talking, and their faces were flushed.

"No, Your Majesty, there is no need to send any more troops."

It was only at this time that Yu Qian, the head of the cabinet, said lightly, he first vetoed Zhu Jianshen's passionate words, and then looked at Yan Jingxiu, his eyes were full of appreciation:

"Yan Gechen's words are not wrong, for Toro, no more rewards can be given. It's just that the matter of setting up states and counties has to be considered in the long run...... There is no need to spend military money on the barren land, and it is far from the Great Wall, and the Ming Dynasty cannot hold it. ”

Although the words that came out of Shousuke's mouth were negative, a look of shock appeared uncontrollably in the eyes of the ministers.

Listening to what he meant, he actually supported Yan Jingxiu!

This means that this cabinet chief, the old minister of the Five Dynasties, the head and spokesperson of the civil official group, chose to turn his back on the mainstream thoughts of the civilian officials, and stood with Yan Jingxiu, a somewhat "deviant" guy!

For the questioning gaze behind him, Yu Qian's eyes did not change in the slightest.

He is only on the right side.

Yan Jingxiu nodded when he heard this, he also knew that it was not very realistic to let the Ming army garrison in the territory of Jianzhou Jurchen, which was too far away from the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and unlike the bondage and Jiaozhi, it could not provide the Ming Dynasty with the slightest benefit, but had to be upside down.

When he proposed this, it was just similar to the idea of "opening a high price and slowly counteroffering".

Seeing Yu Qian speaking at this time, he immediately said:

"Yu Shoufu is right, it was the minister's angry words before, it was indeed ill-considered, and my Ming garrison in that place will only gain more than it loses."

"Your Majesty, what the minister means is that we don't have any show of favor to the Jianzhou Jurchens, and even issue an order to reprimand, withdraw the former reward, and not recognize them as the Jianzhou guards of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Jingxiu's face showed a slightly dark look:

"When the time comes, we don't need to make a move, the Haixi Jurchens and the other Jurchens will carve up the Jianzhou Jurchens by themselves! And they will definitely not let the son of the previous leader of the Jianzhou Department live! ”

"This is a plan to kill people with a knife!"

"And, if they divide the territory of Jianzhou, will they be able to divide it equally? At that time, the Haixi Jurchens and the savage Jurchen tribes are afraid that they will fight on their own, and they will not be harmonious internally, but it will be more conducive to the Ming Dynasty ruling Liaodong! ”

This is exactly what Yu Qian meant, hearing that Yan Jingxiu coincided with his opinion, the color of appreciation in his eyes was even stronger.

And Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but applaud when he heard his plan, this opinion is really much better than the rewards of the ministers to show appeasement, this is the way to truly demonstrate the prestige of the great tomorrow and maintain peace on the border!

He also had a new view of this originally indifferent minister.

Without further ado, Emperor Chenghua immediately ordered that the remaining Jurchen chiefs be deprived of their Jianzhou Wei official positions, declaring them rebellious and condemned to everyone!

Yan Ling soon got the news from the Hidden Dragon.

He nodded with satisfaction, this step continues, and the Qing Dynasty should cease to exist.

Yan Ling took this move to eliminate a strong opponent.
