The Ming Dynasty and Altan are the enemies of life and death. It is the strong rise of the Altan tribe that has made the problems on the Nine Territory worse, and even the Gengxu Incident was staged.

Now, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has produced Lin Qingran, a military genius who is rare in a century, which has led to Altan's plan to rob Shizhou for 60,000 cavalry, and has become the Dinghai Sword Needle for the Ming Dynasty's border defense.

However, the two sides have already formed a deep feud, and the blood of the soldiers and the people on the Nine Borders has already dyed the land of the Nine Borders red. How can both sides sit down and negotiate together?

After being shocked, Guo Pu and others turned their heads to look at Xu Jie in surprise.

Although everyone knows that Xu Jie has always had close ties with the Shanxi Gang, he never expected that he would openly propose peace talks for the interests of the Shanxi Gang. This was simply to openly sing a rebellion with the entire military group.

After hearing Xu Jie's petition, Wu Xun, headed by Ding Guo Duke Xu Yande, immediately turned to hostile gazes, but he did not expect that the Licorice Pavilion master ignored their hatred with Altan Khan.

Lin Weiran's face was as deep as water, and he looked at Xu Jie deeply.

Although he was very angry in his heart and even wanted to accuse Xu Jie of being a fool, he restrained his impulse and this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Now it seems that when he was distracted by the wedding, Xu Jie made an ulterior motive with the Shanxi Gang, which would risk submitting a memorial request and announcing the peace.

Combined with his own intelligence network, the Shanxi Gang, which was hit hard by himself, is making a comeback again, and is already trying to open up the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia to make profits.

Of course, Xu Jie may also be for the purpose of weakening the influence of his military general group. After all, what irreplaceable is his military talent. If the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia cultivated well, then he would become less important and would not even need to take up his own duties.

Minister of War.

But no matter what Xu Jie's intentions were, the peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and Altan were not in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also not conducive to the Ming army's journey to the top of the world through hardships.

At this point, he knew that he would stop Xu Jie from giving this peace proposal, and to severely crush the Shanxi Gang, otherwise he would give them a chance to rekindle.

The entire Golden Palace was filled with anger and hatred, and everyone's eyes fell on the short python robe master in front.

"A few days ago, Altan Khan wanted to send an envoy to the capital, but was rejected by Datong and Jizhou. The envoy went to Shaanxi to meet Wang Chonggu! Altan Khan had already repentant, so he specially asked to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty to make a hundred years of cultivation.

!I think that the enemy's current situation is not as strong as before, and our troops are not as timid as before. In addition, financial difficulties can be used to rest and rest, so that all people can receive the blessings of the emperor!" After Xu Jie sent the memorial, he said earnestly.

Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly, but he knew that Altan sent an envoy. Whether it was Governor of Xuanda Wang Zhigao or Governor of Jiliao Tan Lun, they all chose to refuse the envoys to come to the capital.

Now it seems that the matter is really unrelated to the Shanxi Gang. After Altan's envoy was turned away, he went around the west and came to the governor of Shaanxi, Yanning and Gansu Wang Chonggu.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yande, Duke of Ding, immediately jumped out and said, "I objected! Master Xu, don't you forget that the late emperor killed Qiu Luan, and the command said that those who opened the market would be executed?"

ah?

When hearing this past event, a light flashed across Ma Sen and others' eyes, and they secretly gave a thumbs up for Duke Ding. Xu Jie was looking for death this time!

this……

Li Chunfang and others turned their heads to look at Xu Jie with concern, but they did not expect Xu Jie to make such a low-level mistake. They actually gave people a handle, which directly went against Jiajing's wishes.

Xu Jie smiled confidently and looked at Dingguo fairly with contempt: "The late emperor prohibited the opening of the horse market, but did not prohibit the northern enemy from receiving money! Now Altan is not talking about opening the horse market, but is going to pay tribute to cultivate for a hundred years.

For example, Liaodong, Kaiyuan, Guangning!”

Huh?

When the officials in the hall heard this explanation, it seemed reasonable.

In view of the shame of Gengxu, Jiajing did explicitly ban the Ma market, but he did not allow Altan to come for peace talks. Xu Jie's proposal was no longer contrary to the wishes of the emperor.

"Is this true?" Some young officials were not very clear about this past, and couldn't help but ask their colleagues next to them.

There were many elderly officials who knew about this past, but nodded one after another, saying, "It is true that the late emperor explicitly banned the Ma Shi!"

The matter was indeed as Xu Jie said. After Jiajing was angry and killed Qiu Luan, he pointed out that the horse market was banned.

this……

Although the officials in the hall realized that Xu Jie had taken advantage of the loophole, they were not easy to blame Xu Jie, so they couldn't help but look at Lin Weiran, the leader of the war faction.

Lin Junran found that Xu Jie was actually more difficult than expected, but he directly asked: "Gei Xu, if Altan Khan really had the will of compassion, how could he plunder my Ming people for many years? Altan's tribe was defeated by my Ming Dynasty in Shanxi a few days ago

The border army was severely injured. It was in the desert when it was attacked from all sides. Now our Ming Dynasty would not give him a fatal blow. Why did he still ask him to pay tribute to repair it?"

But it has to be said that because of his sudden emergence, especially in presiding over the Shanxi Victory, the newly established Later Jin regime was not stable, and it also directly affected Altan's strategy for the Ming Dynasty.

If Altan had never offered a tribute plan in the past, and he would not have been reluctant to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Now Altan is seriously damaged, and the harvest in Mongolia has not been good over the years, so Altan may indeed be slightly lowered.

attitude.

"Mr. Lin Ge, we have long known that the court has different political views! Just accepting Altan's tribute is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty's finances and allows border residents to engage in four industries. This move is a measure that benefits the country and the people. You are because

Why should we object again?" Xu Jie, facing Lin Junran's doubts, raised the banner with a slight smile.

The officials in the hall immediately smelled a smell of gunpowder and looked nervously at the two dynasty bosses.

Lin Qingran saw Xu Jie's tough attitude and said without any hesitation: "Gei Xu, the subordinates are for the country and the people, so they stand up and oppose it! Not to mention that now is the best time to reorganize our border army.

Altan is a hero who is determined to build a city and become an emperor. Are you really not afraid of attracting wolves into the house?”

"If this trip is completed, there are only a few hundred people entering the pass through the tribute. Where did you say that you can lead a wolf into the house? Could it be that the number of people in the cavalry battalion can't be dealt with?" Xu Jie was already prepared, but the other way around

Asked.

this……

When Zhu Heng and other officials saw that Xu Jie was so eloquent and had already gained the upper hand, they couldn't help but look at Lin Qingran worriedly.

Lin Xu Ran knew that Xu Jie had used the provocation method, but he reminded coldly: "Gei Xu, Altan may not be so abide by the rules. He must not be this little tribute profit!"

After Altan Khan suffered a setback, his life in Mongolia was indeed difficult.

He had already left the Northern Yuan Dynasty and became independent, and the new regime was inevitably targeted by the old Northern Yuan forces. There was also the covetous Oirat in the northwest, which made him even more eager for the supplies of the Ming Dynasty.

But Lin Weiran clearly knew that these were superficial knowledge, but they could not change the essence of Altan's bandits, and they would definitely have a greater appetite.

"Gemaster Lin, these are all your malicious speculations. Please don't judge a gentleman as a villain!" Xu Jie glanced at Lin Weiran, but said sarcastically.

"Ge Lao Xu, there is no gentleman in the friendship between the two countries!" Lin Qingran replied coldly, and then saluted solemnly at Longqing on the dragon throne and said, "Emperor, Altan and I have been resentful for a long time, but now it is obvious that

I am hiding evil intentions, and I would like to ask the emperor not to adopt Mr. Xu’s words!”

When Ma Sen and other officials listened to Lin Qinran's incisive analysis, they knew that Lin Qinran's precaution was a very correct move, and they couldn't help but nodded slightly to agree.

When Xu Jie saw Lin Qiran asking for orders from Longqing, he also stood up and bowed to Longqing, "Emperor, Altan is now taking the initiative to seek peace. If the Ming Dynasty accepts him to pay tribute, it will not only show the style of the Ming Dynasty's heavenly dynasty, but also make it possible.

The border people get a breather, which is the act of the saint lord and wise monarch!"

this……

Longqing was at a loss when facing the requests of the two important officials.

However, he actually tended toward Xu Jie in his heart. After all, this move can reduce the war, and can also obtain Mongolian tributes, and may even become a wise lord.

On the other hand, Lin Qingran asked him to refuse to contact the Mongolian envoy, but he had no idea what to do.

"Your Majesty, what Master Lin said is reasonable, and the wolf's heart must be guarded!"

"Emperor, Xu Ge is a veteran in planning the country. This move can demonstrate the style of our country's supreme state!"

"Your Majesty Lin Ge is good at military affairs. This move is clearly because Altan's ill-intentioned intentions!"

...

As Lin Junran and Xu Jie expressed their opinions one after another, the troops from all sides also came out one after another, and the entire Golden Palace immediately argued endlessly.

Seeing that the situation was out of control again, Chen Hong, who was standing above, immediately shouted: "Sir, please be quiet, don't make such noise in the hall!"

When everyone heard these words, they also shut their mouths, not because they were afraid of Chen Hong, but because they knew that there would be no result if they continued to argue like this.

Ma Sen and other officials looked up at Longqing, but were waiting for Longqing's choice, hoping that he could adopt Lin Xuran's suggestion.

"This matter...is of great importance, please allow me to think carefully!" Long Qing stuttered in front of the eyes of the officials.

This is his usual technique. When Lin Junran and Xu Jie were arguing endlessly, it was not appropriate to stand on any side, so he often used the word-and-telling decision.

When the officials in the hall saw Long Qing expressing his statement, although they had already made some predictions, they still sighed secretly.

This emperor really has no opinion. He always likes to choose ways to escape when encountering problems, and has never had the courage to make a final decision. Perhaps it is such an emperor who is now becoming more and more fierce in the court.

"Which virtuous minister is this? It is clearly a treacherous minister who harms the country and the people!" Duke Dingguo Xu Yande and other nobles looked at Long Qing in an undecided manner, and secretly looked at Xu Jie and said with hatred.

"What kind of rest and recuperation is clearly to ruin the country and the people!" Many neutral officials felt disgusted with Xu Jie when they saw Xu Jie intentionally discussing with Altan.

Although many officials are greedy for life and fear of death, they do not want the Ming Dynasty to be as weak as the Song Dynasty and repeatedly discuss peace, but can use force to solve the stubborn diseases of the Northern Territory.

But, the oldest prime minister of the dynasty actually wanted to negotiate with the enemy, and this move clearly laid a major hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Weiran has not changed Long Qing's ability to make decisions now. He glanced at the officials around him lightly, but was keenly aware of the changes in people's hearts.

In his contest with Xu Jie, it was no longer a dispute over position, but a dispute over the leadership of the civil servant group. If he could replace the absolute leadership of the civil servant group, then Xu Jie would not be worried even if he was the chief assistant of the dynasty.

.

However, when facing this situation that was beneficial to him, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and always felt that this matter was full of conspiracy.

Because Longqing decided to delay this matter, Xu Jie did not have the ability to force Longqing to make a decision, while Lin Qingran was happy to see things delay.

Next, the officials continued to report.

Since Lin Junran and Xu Jie reached an agreement in front of the Meridian Gate, both sides avoided Lin Run and Hai Rui's affairs. Although both sides mentioned a lot of things, they failed to cause a major conflict between the two sides.

The atmosphere ended the news.

When he was resigning from the court, Longqing seemed impatient to leave and rushed back to lie comfortably on the soft couch drinking wine and enjoying the dance music.

The sky outside was already bright, and the officials left the Golden Palace in groups of three or five.

Guo Pu followed Lin Xuran along the palace road to Wenyuan Pavilion as usual. When there was no one around, he asked Lin Xuran, who was frowning, "Ruoyu, what are you worried about?"

"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop! Xu Jie's behavior this time was too abnormal. I had a feeling that the Shanxi Gang did not be honest and I might be going to make trouble again!" Lin Qingran looked up at the pine trees swaying in the wind, and seemed helpless and authentic.

Guo Pu immediately came to his senses and asked anxiously: "What would happen if there was a real peace talk?"

"Gemao Guo, have you seen a wolf that can be fed with just a few leaves?" Lin Weiran asked disdainfully.

Guo Pu immediately understood Lin Xuran's meaning, but knew that Altan could not surrender to the Ming Dynasty so easily. There must be other conspiracies, so he seriously proposed: "Let's go to Qianqing Palace to meet the saint to stop the peace talks?"

"Let's see what tricks he is going to do first! As long as we insist on not trading with each other, we will eventually turn to the battlefield to solve the problem!" Lin Weiran turned his head and looked towards the direction of Qianqing Palace, and said calmly.

Although he wanted to stop all this, Xu Jie personally stood up and took the lead today, and the other party was undoubtedly well prepared. It may not be easy to stop it now, and the best way is to wait and see.

Guo Pu believed Lin Shiran's judgment and couldn't help but nodded gently. He also felt inexplicably worried, always feeling bad things would happen.
