So today, the group of big men who broke into the Lu Mansion's atrium were actually sending a warning about what would happen if they didn't follow the bottom line.
Another day later, according to the emperor's decree, the imperial court held another court meeting on the issue of Korea. Dozens of ministers of science and education gathered in the East Court Room.
After Wang Tianguan, who was nominally presiding over the court meeting, simply announced the start, he ducked to a corner to find a seat and dozed off.
Although the court meeting began, no one spoke for a while because everyone felt strange.
"Lin Jiuyuan didn't come?" Someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked a question that hit his soul.
Everyone can understand that Lu Guangzu didn't come, but if Lin Jiuyuan didn't come, wouldn't it be too much?
Although it is said that participation in court meetings is generally "voluntary", why did the emperor urgently recall you, Lin Jiuyuan, to the capital?
Ye Mengxiong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Lin Jiuyuan reported to me that he went to Xuan Mansion to handle matters."
Shao Bi, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up and severely reprimanded: "I didn't attend the court meeting but went to the Xuanfu. This is simply dereliction of duty!"
Shao Shaosikou, who was not very public in the past, suddenly showed such an active performance today, which surprised many people.
After a little thought, he understood that it was probably the shaky Lu Guangzu who gave him hope of "replacement". After all, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are both judicial departments, and it is normal for them to transfer to each other.
Ye Mengxiong forced a smile and said: "Lin Jiuyuan went to Xuan Mansion, it is excusable."
Someone asked curiously: "What is the reason? You might as well say it clearly."
Ye Mengxiong seemed to find it difficult to speak, but still replied: "The previous disastrous defeat of five thousand elite soldiers in Liaodong shows that the scale of North Korea's troop deployment this time will not be small.
A large number of troops will definitely be mobilized from other border towns to North Korea, so it is best for our Ming Dynasty to ensure stability in other directions and avoid being under pressure from multiple fronts.
Lin Jiuyuan personally rushed to Xuanfu in order to appease the right wing of the northern barbarians and ensure the stability of the long border from Xuanfu Datong to Ningxia and Gansu for a period of time."
Everyone: "."
To appease the right wing of the Northern Barbarians, to put it so loftily, isn't it just to sacrifice one's life and become a contemporary Han Derang again?
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Ye Dashima tried his best to say seriously:
“Lin Jiuyuan’s idea is not only to appease the Northern Barbarians’ right wing, but also to lobby the Northern Barbaric right wing to harass the Northern Barbaric left wing.
If the right wing of the Northern Barbarians can contain the left wing of the Northern Barbarians in the next one or two years, it can reduce the pressure on Liaodong Town and Ji Town, especially relieve Liaodong's worries and help North Korea use its troops from the side.
As Lin Jiuyuan said, we should not limit our view of war to just one place, we must have a global perspective."
From a theoretical point of view, this statement is very logical, and no one can find fault with it.
It just feels weird. Is it persuasion or sleeping clothes?
Chen Yubi, Minister of Industry, asked: "How long will it take for Lin Jiuyuan to come back?"
Ye Dashima replied: "This time the situation is quite urgent, Lin Jiuyuan will probably have to go and comfort him for about three days.
Before leaving, Lin Jiuyuan also said that there is no need to worry about him and let the princes of the court discuss it first."
But Chen Yubi said: "Lin Jiuyuan is not here, what's the point of us talking here? The emperor probably won't appoint anyone else to manage North Korea, right?"
Although many people are unwilling to admit it, they have to face the fact that as long as Lin Tailai returns to the capital, he will be the first candidate to manage North Korea.
There may be many people who feel that they are also capable of managing North Korean affairs. But no one dares to say that they are more suitable than Lin Tailai.
This is the prestige established and the sense of trust that Lin Tailai established by fighting in the northwest and pacifying Ningxia in seven battles and seven victories.
No matter who becomes the emperor and chooses people, he will tend to choose people who have always won battles.
What the emperor is thinking about now is probably just how much authority he should give, right?
In addition, in the battle to pacify Ningxia last year, seven major generals and tens of thousands of troops were deployed.
Therefore, Lin Tailai, who was the supervisor of the army at the time, was one of the few people in recent times who had the experience of commanding "large corps operations".
In the Ming Dynasty, which was accustomed to security battles involving thousands of people, there were very few people with such experience, not even Li Chengliang, who claimed to have experienced hundreds of battles.
Judging from the current trends, North Korea's military deployment is obviously going to be on a large scale, and people with experience in "large regiment operations" will definitely be given priority.
As for the other two who have recent experience in "large army operations", they are Li Rusong and Ye Mengxiong, but it is obviously impossible for these two to compete with Lin Tailai for the position of minister of economic and strategic affairs.
In the end, the second court meeting on North Korea affairs ended hastily in the absence of Lin Tailai, who waited for another meeting in three days.
Yin Zhuoran, the Korean envoy guarding the palace gate, was extremely anxious when he heard the result.
