Yu Qian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to reply for a while. Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to hear Yu Qian's reply, but continued to reprimand:

"If the chief soldier of Xuanfu is an ordinary person, I won't talk about him. The key is Yang Hong, who has guarded the border for more than 40 years, and has been promoted to general with his bravery and good fighting, which shocks the north and south. He has crowned himself king, and what is 'King Yang'.

The problem is, starting in July, you see what he's done. If he really has the ability of Han Xin, let alone a fake king, even if I make him a real king.

Either you show me your skills, or you don't play like Han Shin.

You let him calculate for himself, it's been more than two months since July, can we, Prince Yang, kill enough Tartars to get together a hundred people in total? ”

When Yu Qian heard this, he was silent, and the other ministers did not speak.

Zhu Qiyu asked sharply again: "Which of you is the backer behind Yang Hong, come and come, please stand up and explain to me." ”

The ministers still looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Zhu Qiyu turned around again, took out a notebook from the drawer of the cabinet next to him, and handed it to the ministers: "Come, let's take a look, this is Yang Hong's notebook in July." What did he say: The thieves have surrounded the horse camp for three days, and the river has been cut off, and there is no water in the camp.

You all say that the defeat of Tumu was due to Wang Zhen's blind command, which caused the camp to be cut off from water and the whole army to collapse.

Okay, Wang Zhen was cut off from water, I don't blame him. Because he was a eunuch, he didn't know the art of war.

But our famous Prince Yang doesn't know the art of war, why was he also cut off from water? ”

The ministers lowered their heads, but still didn't speak, anyway, the law doesn't blame the public, and besides, everything was done by Yang Hong, what is the matter with the ministers.

And the ministers are already very clear about the new monarch's attitude towards Yang Hong, so naturally no one is willing to stand up and take the blame for Yang Hong.

Zhu Qiyu had beaten the minister enough, and he accepted it when he saw it, and instructed without doubt: "According to the cabinet's plan, the promotion of the governor Juyongguan and the military department member Wailang Luo Tong will add the military department squire, and still the governor Juyongguan."

and gave Shang Fang a sword, and ordered him to control Juyong, close all the soldiers and horses, and take charge of all customs and defense affairs.

Tell him that no Tartar shall be allowed to enter the customs except for the envoys of Warat, whom I have allowed to enter.

It is also forbidden to let any of Yang Hong and Yang Jun's Xuanfu soldiers enter the customs, and if there is a disobedient, they will be killed on the spot. ”

As Zhu Qiyu expected, no one objected. Chen Xun and Wang Wen were only stunned for a moment, and then said that they were ordered.

The cabinet is like that, it is enough to have two or three people willing to take orders. If the rest of the ministers are not satisfied, then go and stand aside.

Hu Hui, Wang Zhi and others did not insist, and followed closely to express their orders.

In the minister's heart, he secretly admired the new monarch's accurate view. Luo Tong is a person who has the ability, and according to his qualifications, he is long enough to be a squire in the military department.

As a result, when Emperor Taishang first ascended the throne, Luo Tong was already in the middle of the military department, and he was only one level away from the squire. As a result, more than ten years have passed, but Luo Tong has been demoted by one level and has become a member of the military department, which is also the more he lives, the more he goes back.

This is only because Luo Tong went to prison in the early years of Orthodoxy.

However, in the orthodox dynasty of Zhu Qizhen, there is no shame in going to prison.

As for the few important ministers in front of him, Hu Hu has been in prison in the Orthodox Dynasty, Wang Zhi has been in prison in the Orthodox Dynasty, and Yu Qian has also been in prison in the Orthodox Dynasty. Even Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department who was fighting outside, was also in prison in the Orthodox Dynasty.

Anyway, the Emperor Taishang especially likes to send ministers to prison, anyway, everyone has been in prison, no one should laugh at anyone.

So although the current new monarch likes to sneer at the ministers, the ministers can barely accept it, after all, they are not afraid of not knowing the goods, they are afraid of comparing the goods.

Compared with the Emperor Taishang, who threw people into prison at every turn, the new monarch just likes to sneer and sneer, and he doesn't do anything, just scolding there. In front of the Emperor Taishang, the new monarch is really a small thing.

The other ministers were thinking about Luo Tong, but Yu Qian was keenly aware of the new monarch's mistake: the emperor had publicly expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with Yang Hong many times, but he never took any action against Yang Hong, nor did he dismiss the official, nor did he ask for his guilt, nor did he cut his military power, so he wasted it.

What is the truth behind this? The emperor is not stupid, why should he do such an illogical thing. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Yu Qian wants to go home to find his staff again.

Zhu Qiyu saw that no one was talking, so he asked, "It's okay, then why don't you disperse?" ”

Yu Qian came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Fuzong, the official of Jiaozhi and the hundred households, said: It is advisable to choose elephants, practice the method of elephant warfare, and create saddle armor for them, and the ministers are willing to lead the army to ride elephants and use them to break the thief formation." ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard this: how to ride an elephant has come out.

"Where did this elephant come from?"

Yu Qian replied: "The Imperial Horse Prison has an elephant room, as for whether Chen Fuzong has raised it in private, Weichen doesn't know." ”

"Okay, then let Chen Fuzong go to the Wuxiang Zuowei under the supervision of the imperial horse to serve as a hundred households, and let him be fully responsible for training war elephants. Let the Ministry of Works build armor for the elephant according to his request. When the time comes, I will personally go to Xizhimen to watch the battle and see how he breaks the formation and kills the enemy. ”

"Yes, Weichen received the order, and there is one more thing, the inner court wants to organize a pure army of several hundred people to participate in the battle to defend the capital. The minister did not dare to be arbitrary, and asked His Majesty to decide. ”

"Oh, I know, the eunuchs of the inner court are willing to kill the enemy to serve the country, and their hearts are good. But let the army do these things. ”

"Yes, Weichen takes the order."

Zhu Qiyu got up and said with a smile: "Don't bury your head in the pile of official documents all day long, go, today I will take you to inspect and inspect the defense of the capital." ”

Xinjun was very enthusiastic, and the ministers had no choice but to follow Xinjun to Xizhimen.

Zhu Qiyu led the ministers to climb up and down the Xizhi Gate, walked around the city wall twice, and then went outside the Xizhi Gate together to inspect the newly repaired fortifications.

The outside of the Xizhi Gate is spacious and flat, and it is the city gate where the emperor and the prince and the nobles enter and exit the capital and often walk.

Zhu Qiyu took the ministers along the road and walked to a place a hundred zhang away from the city gate, and then turned around and faced Xizhimen with a serious face.

The ministers knew that this was the emperor who was going to have a new idea, so they all listened attentively.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the left: "Right here, when the war is over, I will build a large Beijing Temple for the emperors, vassal kings, nobles, civil and military ministers, and the people of the Ming Dynasty to pay respects to the emperors, vassal kings, nobles, civil and military ministers, and the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Before the Jingguan, I also had to set up a monument to commemorate the merits, and engrave the entire process of defending the capital, as well as the names of the meritorious soldiers and fallen soldiers, so that the Ming Dynasty will always commemorate it. ”

As soon as Zhu Qiyu's words fell, a group of old foxes immediately grasped the point: The new monarch wants to let the emperor who enters and leaves Beijing to pay homage to the Beijing view, isn't this specifically aimed at the emperor? When the Emperor Taishang returned to Beijing, he just arrived outside the city gate to see the Beijing view?

Without waiting for the minister to answer, Zhu Qiyu pointed to the right side again: "On the other hand, on my right hand, I want to build a large altar, and set up tablets one by one for the soldiers who died on the battlefield such as Tumu Fort, and enshrine them on it, so that the fallen soldiers can enjoy the incense sacrifice forever, and let future generations remember this national shame forever." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ministers changed.

Although the ministers do not believe that the new monarch can cut enough heads to build the Beijing Temple, it doesn't matter whether the Beijing Temple is built or not, the heads are enough to build it, and the heads are not enough to pull it down, the new monarch is interested, and the ministers do not stop it.

But building an altar for the fallen soldiers of Tumubao is different, which is tantamount to putting the failure of the Emperor Taishang on the table, and publicly slapping his face in front of all states and hundreds of millions of people in Kyushu. And it's a constant slap in the face, as long as this altar exists for a day, the slap in the face will last for a day.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Under the altar, near the side of the road, a monument should also be erected, and the process of the civil fort, the list of the fallen nobles, civil and military ministers, and soldiers should all be engraved on it to warn future generations." ”

The faces of Hu Hui, Wang Zhi and others are even more ugly, the new monarch is insisting on denying the emperor, and today he is also forcing the ministers to take sides.

If the minister agrees to build an altar, it will completely offend the dead emperor.

If you don't agree to build an altar, it will be tantamount to refusing to side with the new monarch, and needless to say, you will definitely be purged by the new monarch.

To the surprise of Hu Hu and Wang Zhi, the two hardcore henchmen of the Emperor, the first assistant Chen Xun did not think about it for too long, so he knelt down and clearly expressed his approval of the new monarch.

Followed by Wang Wen, he knelt directly on the ground and praised loudly: "Build an altar to comfort the soldiers, build a Beijing view to deter the four yi, Your Majesty has the world in mind, sympathizes with all the people, combines rigidity and softness, and uses both grace and power. ”

When Hu Hu and Wang Zhi heard this, they were shocked and surprised to the extreme: Is this Wang Wen crazy, and the words 'prosperity in achievement' were actually spoken. What is ZTE, there must be the decline of predecessors, and future generations can be called ZTE. This is a complete denial of the Emperor Taishang, is Wang Wen planning to follow the new monarch and go all the way to the dark?

What surprised Hu Hu and Wang Zhi even more was that Yu Qian also knelt down and replied loudly: "What Wang Zongxian said is very true, and Weichen is also willing to do his best to assist His Majesty in achieving prosperity." ”

Shang Shi and Peng Shi are young, and when they are new to the cabinet, it doesn't matter so much whether they kneel or not.

But the other five were all important pillars of the imperial court, and they knelt down for three. This is really something that Hu Hu and Wang Zhi never dreamed of.

At this time, the momentum of the new monarch faction inexplicably overwhelmed the emperor faction, and Hu Hu and Wang Zhi, who were the hardcore henchmen of the emperor, were completely difficult.
