Zhang Fu actually didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, he was already too old, and he didn't want to experience any more storms.

But in the current form, he can't help but stand up and persuade the emperor to set things right.

For no other reason, it's really Zhu Qizhen's operation that people can't understand.

"Your Majesty, the ground of the civil fort is high, and the only water source around it is far from the place where our army is stationed. If we also send troops to occupy Yanchuan first and cut off our water source, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"According to the old minister's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is not too late to enter Huailai City first, and it is the best policy to defend the city."

It can be summed up in six words.

Lewd development, don't wave.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen's expression had changed slightly, Zhang Fu decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, Huailai City is located on the border, well-armed, and has sufficient grain, if our army is fortified in the city, even if he has three heads and six arms, it will be impossible to shake our army at all!"

Zhu Qizhen was obviously moved, and he opened his mouth to give an order.

When Wang Zhen saw Zhu Qizhen's intentions, he immediately became anxious.

Hurry up and march to conceive now? And what about the baggage of my more than a thousand cars?

You have lost your life, but I have lost my precious possessions!

"You are bold! British Public! Wang Zhen immediately took the lead: "Do you think that Your Majesty is not familiar with military affairs?" My 200,000 soldiers are well fed and stationed in Tumu Fort, and no matter how many men and horses he has first, there is no return! Could it be that the British Duke is old, and because he is afraid of death, he persuaded His Majesty to conceive? ”

Wang Zhen's idea is actually simpler, anyway, it's not me who fights and charges, bragging about defeat and defeat.

This heart-wrenching sentence hit Zhang Fu's ribs.

When he opened his mouth, he really didn't know what to say, especially when he saw Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly becoming firm under Wang Zhen's words.

"Your Majesty, the British Duke is the old man who seeks the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will adopt the advice!" Wang Zuo, the head of the household, took the lead in kneeling down and pleaded with tears.

"Your Majesty, if you don't listen to your advice, it's too late to regret it!" Cao Nai, a university scholar, also pleaded.

"Your Majesty, at this time, our army is already tired of veterans, and Warat is in full swing at this time, and our army has been working for a long time, so I am afraid it will be difficult to resist!" Jing Yuan, the commander of the horses, is also imploring Zhu Qizhen to adopt Zhang Fu's opinion.

Zhu Qizhen, who was moved by Wang Zhen's words, hesitated again.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's hesitation, Kuang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "Your Majesty, our death is a small matter, if Your Majesty is affected by the story of the former Song Huiqin Emperor, won't we leave a stench for 10,000 years?" ”

This sentence really scared Zhu Qizhen, he also often reads history, of course he knows about Song Huizong and Song Qinzong's visit to Snow Township.

It's a trivial thing to be written in the history books for 10,000 years, after all, after my death, who cares about the flood. But it was a real sin when I was alive, and I heard that the two of them were locked up in a dark room...... Tsk, I feel chills all over my body just thinking about it.

He finally made up his mind, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to give the order to go to Huailai.

But Wang Zhen is certainly not the kind of person who sits idly by, he may not be professional in military strategy, nor in government affairs, nor in logistics—but he is definitely professional in slander.

"The British Princess, Lord Kwong, Jing Concubine, you are really good at the heart......"

Wang Zhen's voice was yin and yang, and he almost pointed at his nose and scolded you for colluding to deceive Your Majesty.

These words fell on Zhu Qizhen's ears, which was tantamount to a thunderclap.

According to the instructions given to him by the imperial grandmother before her death, and the idea of his ancestors, the honorable and noble should compete with the civil officials to check and balance each other. He had never told anyone about it, and he had never taken it seriously.

Zhu Zhanji died early, and he never taught him the way to be a king, nor did he teach him the fundamentals of the Ming Dynasty. His mother is just a scheming bitch, so it's okay to let her intrigue in the harem, and expect her to teach some imperial arts, so don't expect the old sow to go up the tree. Only the Empress Dowager Zhang can occasionally mention a few words about him.

But his mother, the Empress Dowager Sun, and the Empress Dowager Zhang, the imperial grandmother, were at odds because of Hu Shanxiang's affairs, and the Empress Dowager Sun could always find all kinds of ways to keep him from getting closer to the Empress Dowager. This also led to the Empress Dowager Zhang teaching him many things, many of which he only knew a little about.

But now he can't help but think about it, now Xungui has come together with the civil official, and he also brought Jingyuan, the eldest princess of Jiaxing......

The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Qizhen felt so angry that he trembled, covered in cold sweat on a hot day, and his hands and feet were cold.

Can you ministers still get better? How can I live to be satisfied? Tears flowed down uncontrollably, this court was full of oppression of the emperor, when will the emperor really stand up!

He is now starting to storm in his brain, could it be that from the beginning, this is a game of the courtiers? Trick him into jumping in step by step, maybe even they hooked up with him first?

Yes, why did it take only a few days to find out where you were? It must be an inner ghost in the court! And it's a big inner ghost! I want to kill him! And his son Zhu Jianshen is only two years old this year, and when the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the power of the DPRK and China will gradually be ceded to the civil officials......

People who are already competing in their minds don't even think about how flawed their guesses are. Zhu Qizhen now completely believes in his brain supplement, in his eyes, the only person worthy of his trust now is only Wang Zhen, and no one else can be trusted, all of them are trying to harm him.

He decided not to compromise with his courtiers and to follow his own wishes. Isn't it in the Civil Fort? Today, even if the king of heaven is here! I must also be stationed at Fort Civilis today! I said it!

However, before he could speak, there was a noise outside.

After a while, a herald covered in blood ran in. No sooner had he broken into the tent than he passed out.

Zhang Fu immediately stepped forward, searched for the paperwork from him, and then ordered the others to bring him down.

He glanced at the paperwork and froze.

Kuang Yu took the paperwork and was stunned.

"As long as Cheng Guogong attacks, everything will be fine......" Zhu Qizhen didn't care about the situation here, but waved his hand and said casually, "Cheng Guogong has followed Emperor Taizongwen to fight for many years, and I look at Cheng Guogong, and there is a champion Hou Zhizi......

"Your Majesty! Cheng Guogong, Cheng Guogong ......" Kuang Yu said tremblingly, but he couldn't go on.

"Cheng Guogong ambushed in the Harrier Ridge, all 30,000 cavalry were killed, and Cheng Guogong was also martyred...... Seeing that Kuang Yu couldn't continue, Zhang Fu took over the conversation desolately.

Zhu Qizhen trembled and stretched his hand to his temple, this news was tantamount to a thunderclap in his heart.

All of this is connected in series, Warat is only 20,000 people at best, and Chengguo Gong plus Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin brothers, a full 50,000 men and horses, how can they be wiped out by 20,000 people?

All of this must be a game...... If there were no prior preparations, how could it be possible to completely annihilate these nearly 50,000 people? There were even 30,000 cavalrymen......

If this is a game, then why would they join forces to urge me to go to Huailai? Could it be that there are also their men and horses in ambush on the way to Huailai?

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen wiped his cold sweat and ordered calmly.

"The people named stayed, Zhang Fu, Kuang Yu, Wang Zuo, and Jing Yuan."

After only a few people were named in the tent, Zhu Qizhen suddenly broke out.

"This is my command! Stationed at the Civil Fort, it's my order! What are you guys! Still so bold that you dare to resist my orders?! ”

"It's been this point...... All the courtiers are fooling me! Everyone is fooling me, even the royal relatives like Jing Yuan! You generals and courtiers are piled up together, at best, you are jackals, stinky fish and rotten shrimp with no existential value! ”

Jing Yuan quickly retorted: "Your Majesty, the minister can't accept your words, these are your soldiers, fighting bloodily for you......"

"It's just a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp! Anti-thieves and scum who get in our way! Zhu Qizhen's mood almost collapsed, and he scolded loudly with his hands dancing.

"Your Majesty, your words are really a bit too heavy!" Zhang Fu said bitterly.

"Where are you courtiers one by one, forming a party for personal gain, disobeying the emperor's order, and simply harming the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen slammed the brush in his hand on the table.

"No loyalty!"

"The reason why you call yourself a general is that you have mixed up enough years in the army! Holding the blade, you have only learned to eat and fat! Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the ministers, and scolded like crazy: "For many years, the courtiers have only known how to drag me back!" The entire court deliberately tried to make it as bad as possible all day long, so that I was restricted! ”

Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and clenched his fist on the table.

"I should have dared to do it! Eight hundred years earlier, you should have been brought out and killed! Learn from Emperor Taizu Gao!! ”

"Traitors, from beginning to end, you courtiers will only form a party for personal gain, and engage in this kind of rebellion! You only have yourselves in your eyes! Everything I did was to snatch the power that belonged to me from my hands! How did you know my whereabouts in the first place? Is it a traitor among you? For the power in your hands, you have betrayed the entire Ming Dynasty viciously! I have reason to believe! The army that had been waiting for Yexian on the road to Huailai City for a long time, as soon as I arrived, I would immediately rush out and kill all my soldiers! ”

"But I tell you that the blood of all traitors will be repaid! How can they be repaid without bloodshed! I will drag the traitors to the tomb of filial piety and let them drown in their own blood one by one! ”

Zhu Qizhen scolded here, obviously tired.

He sat down weakly on the stool and said weakly: "My orders are disrespectful to each of you, and the kings and ministers are not in harmony, how can you go to Huailai City to fight against the Warats?" I have made up my mind, so I will rest for a day at Tumu Fort and set off until tomorrow morning! ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't listen to your advice, it's too late to regret it!" Kwong Yu shouted in grief.

Wang Zhen, who had been silent beside Zhu Qizhen, suddenly shouted: "How can the rotten Confucians know about the marching army, and if they dare to talk nonsense, they will be punished with death!" ”

"I speak for the people of Sheji, why not be afraid of death!"

Kuang Wei's body was straight, and the glittering light in his eyes shocked Wang Zhen into speechlessness for a while.

Seeing that Wang Zhen was suppressed, Zhu Qizhen stood up for him and said, "Someone!" Fork Kwong out! ”

Soon, Wang Zhen's godsons carried sticks and forked Kuang out of the house.

Zhang Fu took a deep look at Zhu Qizhen, looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head and walking out of Zhu Qizhen's tent.

It's a pity that I, Zhang Fu I, am about to die in this civil fort?

Zhang Fu looked at the sea of clouds in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Emperor Taizongwen, if you have a spirit in the sky, take care of your great-grandson.

Pity the foundation created by the four generations of gods of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be handed over to the hands of the widow!

"British ......" Kwong's voice sounded behind him.

Zhang Fu turned his head and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that it was Kuang Yu.

"Lord Kwong."

The two were silent for a long time before Kuang Yu spoke: "Does the prince have a good plan? ”

"Just now, we have violated His Majesty's taboo by speaking together, if we go again at this time, won't it touch his bad head?"

Zhang Fu stroked his beard and sighed, looked at Kuang Yu again, shook his head and sighed: "Lord Kuang was seriously injured when he fell from his horse the month before yesterday, and he could have come to his arms for medical treatment, why did he still follow the army and cause today's disaster?" ”

"Your Majesty personally went out on the expedition, how could a courtier not follow because of a slight injury?" Kuang Yu's eyes flashed, and he laughed at himself: "It is said that scholars usually talk about their hearts and minds, and they will repay the king when they die, and I, as a courtier, have done everything I can, and now there is only one death left to repay the king's kindness!" ”

The two were relatively silent.

Half an hour later, Kwong Yu dragged his unhealed body back to the tent.

Wang Zuo, the head of the household, had been waiting in the tent for a long time, and when he saw Kuang Yu who had returned, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Brother Meng Zhen, ...... today"

Halfway through speaking, Wang Zuo couldn't go on.

Meng Zhen is the character of Kuang, and the two of them are both six books, so they are both commensurate with the words.

"Don't say it, don't say it, Brother Gongbi......"

Kuang Yu limped to the side and took out two small jars of wine.

"Today, you and I will rest when we get drunk!"

"Good!" Wang Zuo wiped his tears and accepted Kuang's proposal.

The two of them sat in the tent, not saying a word, cup after cup, you and I drank the sullen wine one by one.

Say what? What is there to say? The Emperor was determined to camp in the Civil Fort, and all they could do was wait for them to die.

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Kuang Wei certainly knows the soldiers, and if the water in the place of Tumu Fort is cut off, it is the turtle in the urn.

"Brother Gongbi, I hate it!" Kuang Yu drank half of the altar, and his eyes had already begun to draw his soul: "Why did you say it was ...... at that time Why didn't you stop Your Majesty! Who was ...... at that time Who said that he was going to Cining Palace to invite the queen to persuade His Majesty......"

"Hey, what's the use?" Wang Zuo waved his hand in a daze: "Queen Mother? Hehe...... If the Queen Mother wanted to stop it, she would have stopped it a long time ago! She...... She doesn't want to care about it at all, if you want me to say, except for the Empress Dowager and her old man, no one can manage Your Majesty! ”

"It's a pity that I'm a good boy!" When Wang Zuo said this, he couldn't help but cry sadly.

"If you want to make Your Majesty change his mind, unless...... Unless Taizu, or Taizong, or Xuanzong, they are in person, otherwise, I'm afraid ......" Kuang Zheng stared at him in confusion, and suddenly laughed.

"How...... What's wrong? You, his mother, what are you laughing at? Wang Zuo asked in a daze.

"I'm really drunk, what's wrong with me, why do I seem to see Emperor Taizong?" Kuang pointed behind Wang Zuo.
