Fengtian Temple was simply tidied up, but the smoke of the war had not dissipated, and it was desolate.

Entering the Fengtian Hall, all the officials saluted, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Let's get down to business, how many people were killed in Wala? Why did they harass the Xuanfu in winter? How many days can Yang Xin defend? Where is Zhao Fu? Can Guo Deng of Datong help with the defense?"<

/p>

On the way here, Zhu Qiyu read the memorial over and over again, but found it very strange. There was very little useful information in the memorial, which did not conform to the format of a battle report. What was submitted might be a transcript copied by the cabinet.

There was silence in Fengtian Hall, no one answered.

Zhu Qiyu's face darkened, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone can speak freely, and I will never be punished for my words."

What a slap in the face!

A few hours ago, he made a fuss about being convicted for speaking out and beheaded Zhang Shi and Wang Ao. How long has it been since he was taught how to be a human being? Swallow the words he said alive!

"Your Majesty, this winter has been extremely cold. Many livestock in the Xuan Mansion froze to death, making it even more difficult on the grassland."

"The news from Datong Horse Market is that the herdsmen in Mobei have frozen to death this winter. Countless livestock have been frozen to death. Countless herdsmen have gone bankrupt. In winter, they cross the border and come to plunder."

Yu Qian stood up and said: "According to Yang Xin's battle report, Wala probably sent more than 50,000 people south to clear the grass valley. Yang Xin and Zhao Fu can still hold on for more than a month. It is best not to move in Datong Town, and be careful to prevent Wala from diverting to Datong."

Upon hearing this number, the civil and military officials were shocked. During the Beijing Defense War, 130,000 Wala infantry and cavalry surrounded the city of Beijing. This time, 50,000 troops were dispatched in Dacaogu, which was the largest troop dispatch since Tumubao.

On paper, Xuanfu has 120,000 garrison troops, but the number of actual combatable troops is unknown, and it must be much less.

After all, since the Xuande period, private warfare has become common, and as many as one million people have escaped from the guard. Guo Deng's report in the first year of Jingtai shows that when he took over Datong Town, the guard had only a few hundred soldiers and more than a hundred war horses, which is consistent with official figures.

Very different.

No one dares to say how different the paper strength is from the real strength.

"Your Majesty, since the two countries stopped fighting in the first year of Jingtai, they sent peace envoys to each other and concluded a peace treaty. There has never been such a large-scale conquest between the two countries. The minister believes that we should send an envoy to Oala to hold the Khan accountable for why he broke the alliance and attacked

Ming Dynasty!" Yao Kui had a white scarf wrapped around his forehead. The white scarf was soaked with blood, and he looked angry.

"Yes."

Zhu Qiyu felt deeply humiliated. During the time of Taizu and Emperor Taizong, the tribes in Mobei were beaten by the Ming army and were in panic all day long. If they really dared to go south to harvest grass valleys, Taizu and Emperor Taizong would be very happy. The Fengtian Palace must be full of enthusiasm. The generals

Asking for a battle, civil servants cheered, as if they were not enemies, but knights.

How many years have passed since then, when Wala went south, the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to send an incompetent envoy to accuse him. There is no point in condemning him with just words and no practice!

Only the weak are quick to condemn, but the strong directly use the knife!

"The humble minister wants to personally lead the capital camp to support Xuanzhen, divide his troops to garrison Juyong, build earthen forts, and prepare several places to guard against unexpected events. He personally leads the army to block Xuanzhen and prevent Wala horses from setting foot on the Central Plains!" Yu Qian asked for battle.<

/p>

Zhu Qiyu frowned. If Yu Qian leaves, will there be another coup?

"Your Majesty, I am asking for a battle!"

Zhu Yi, Duke of Chengguo, knelt on the ground: "My grandfather and father both died on the battlefield. I am also willing to follow the example of my ancestors and be stained with blood on the battlefield and wrapped in horse leather for Your Majesty!"

Funing Bo Zhu Yong also stepped forward to ask for a fight, and the nobles asked for the fight one after another.

However, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister. Do these people want to attack Oala, or are they plotting to gain military power in the capital? Do you want to seize the door a second time? Ambitious!

"Xuanzhen must be defended, and the selection of troops needs to be considered." Zhu Qiyu was in a state of confusion, and Wala's march south really caught him off guard.

As Yao Kui said, the two countries have been at peace with each other in recent years. After the Beijing Defense War, the two countries made peace and opened trade with each other. Jingtai ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the fourth year of his life. Jingtai was assassinated in the fifth year of his life, and Oara fell into civil strife.

, the pressure in the north of the Ming Dynasty dropped sharply, and there was no record of a large-scale southward movement of Oara in history, so Zhu Qiyu was very suspicious that this was a scene directed and performed by some people with ulterior motives.

When Yu Qian leaves the capital, his safety is no longer guaranteed; if Duke Cheng is asked to lead the army, who knows if he will first seize the throne and support the Supreme Emperor as emperor, and then go out for the expedition?

No matter what he chooses, he will be in danger.

As for the theft of internal funds, compared with the crisis of the Xuanfu, it is really a trivial matter. Apart from settling the matter and swallowing it, what else can you do?

"Your Majesty, the military situation is very strong. Although Yang Xin and Zhao Fu are good generals and can theoretically defend for more than a month, who knows what accidents may happen! Your Majesty, please make a quick decision and send troops to support Xuanzang." Chen Xun added.

Zhu Qiyu was in a state of confusion. He was worried about whoever handed over the Beijing camp. Without support, the Xuanfu might not be able to withstand it for long. Four days have passed since Yang Xin asked for help, and there can be no further delay!

While thinking about it, Zhu Yong came out of his class and knelt down in the middle, loudly saying: "Your Majesty's martial arts skills have led to the pursuit of Taizu, Taizong, and Taizong's five expeditions to Mobei. The Tatars were so frightened when they heard about the Ming Dynasty that I asked your Majesty to lead the expedition in person!"

Mobei is stained with blood, let the Wala people pay the price!"

"I invite your Majesty to lead the expedition in person!" Wang Ji and Luo Tong knelt down and shouted, and some officials knelt down to echo.

Zhu Qiyu shot the machine and asked me to die? You have to kill me to give up?

"Shut up! Zhu Yong, Wang Ji, Luo Tong, do you want His Majesty to repeat the same fate as Tumu Fortress?"

Wang Wen scolded angrily, looking back and shouting: "If you mention the matter of the imperial commander's personal expedition again, you will be executed!"

"Your Majesty said that you won't be punished for what you say, and your ministers can speak freely, so why not? You are pretending to be powerful! Humph!" Wang Ji was unconvinced.

"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace, let alone the emperor!" Wang Wen glared at Wang Ji.

The two started fighting.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly: "Wala Kengbian, you don't think about how to defeat the enemy, but you are arguing in the court hall, which hurts the harmony. You two will be fined for a month to see the effect."

But Wang Ji stared at Wang Wen like a victorious general, look, the emperor didn't dare to kill indiscriminately! The emperor knew he was afraid!

Zhu Qiyu was very aggrieved. According to his temperament, he directly chopped Zhu Yong into pieces. Wang Ji and Luo Tong were the better ones. But he had spoken first and would not be punished for his words, so Wang Ji dared to test him. This was because the internal money had been stolen, and Xuanzang was in danger.

The next test is to see if he is obedient. If he is still dishonest, he will be the king of the country!

"My lords, I was narrow-minded last night and thought that you were only selfish and had no public intention. Today I know that you are wrong about serving the country and the people."

Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh: "I also want to drive and conquer in person, and imitate Taizu Taizong's actions, but I don't have the courage of Taizu Zhuolu Lanlu to found the Ming Dynasty, nor do I have Taizong's ability to seal the wolf and live in Xu. If I come to Xuanzhen in person, I will only make the war more difficult."

The general will be uneasy and the soldiers will be distracted, so I will not follow the example of the Supreme Emperor and personally conquer Mobei."

"My lords, the money was stolen last night, and the thief's pursuit was fruitless. Today I heard that the tiles were knocking on the edge. I am so confused that I can no longer make the right decision. Let the cabinet and the Ministry of War make their own decision. I can just let it go."

I’m so convinced!

Zhu Qiyu said something soft!

The emperor finally bowed to the civil and military officials!

Chen Xun shook his sleeves, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise king of ancient times! I wish you long live! Long live! Long live!"

All the civil and military officials shouted long live, and the Fengtian Hall was peaceful and peaceful.

Only Zhu Qiyu couldn't be happy. It's not scary to surrender. What's scary is how to regain power.

Xing'an was right, the civil servants would retaliate against him. He didn't believe it at the time, but within a few hours, the retaliation came. He took out the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron and took out the ladder from the house, leaving him with no way to retreat. He didn't force him to issue an edict to punish himself.

This is a great honor to him!

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the world, but his heart was desolate. Xing'an said that taking back the Supervisor of Ceremonies and stabilizing the imperial power was the foundation for him to settle down and live in peace. But if he took back the Supervisor of Ceremonies, would he definitely get the imperial power back?<

/p>

The ministers were quarreling non-stop, and the candidates for the expedition could not be decided. Zhu Qiyu called Jin Zhong over: "Is Song Jie here?"

Jin Zhong nodded.

"Let Song Jie seal the palace gate and no one is allowed to leave the palace." Zhu Qiyu believed that the things in the library were not transported out of the palace and were still in the palace. There is hope for them to be recovered.

"This slave obeys your order."

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking about the response strategy. He didn't want to be the king of subjugation, nor did he want to be a puppet. He had to come up with a strategy to deal with it.

The ministers finally came up with the results of their discussion, and Wang Zhi, Yao Kui, Zhu Yi, and Zhu Yong led the 150,000-strong capital camp to go on an expedition.

When Zhu Qiyu saw the list, he almost fainted. You just support the Supreme Emperor! They are all the Supreme Emperor's people! Give them an army of 150,000? Just give me a white silk ribbon!

"Master, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian with burning eyes.

"Both Cheng Guogong and Funing Bo have the qualifications of famous generals, and they are supplemented by Chengshan Bo Wang Cong, Gongshun Hou Wu Jin, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong, Jiancheng Bo Gaoyuan, Fengcheng Hou Li Yong, Guangping Hou

Yuan Xuan and others can all be called good generals."

"We will then be led by the cabinet minister Wang Zhi, the minister of rites Yao Kui, the Zuo Du censor Luo Tong, the censor Wang Hong, and Yang Xuan, and then recruit a group of Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy to assist. I think we will be able to defeat the Wala."
p>

Yu Qian saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it is up to you to decide who to send out from the palace."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun, who also said that this was the final list.

"What I say makes sense, but the Wala people are brave and good at fighting. Although Cheng Guogong has the qualifications to be a famous general, he is a little younger, has no famous battles, and lacks the experience of commanding an army of 270,000. The same is true for Fu Ning Bo.

, I still think it is safer to put veterans in charge."

Zhu Qiyu thought carefully and said, now is not the time to go crazy, please speak up.

Chen Xun rolled his eyes, isn't the best candidate Chen Mao? You'll kill him!

"What your Majesty said is true. None of the experienced generals who are suitable for taking command are currently in the capital. I think that the generals should each take charge of their own role, not lead each other, but help each other defend themselves." Chen Xundao.

"A snake cannot survive without a head. It must have a commander in order to repel Wala!"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Young Master! Eight years ago, you saved the Ming Dynasty from fire and water! Now that Wala is back, I thought that when you take command and go on an expedition, I can rest assured!"

"Furthermore, you are the Minister of War, and you have experience as a commander in the Beijing Defense War. I think that only by taking charge of the battle can you subdue the armies and not dare to hide your selfish motives. You will also be able to win the battle and repel the Wala."
