In the past, Wang Ao and others might have worried that using the emperor to pressure Yu Qian would be counterproductive, or even let this stubborn temper confront the emperor directly.
But the situation is different now. At least for this period of time, Yu Qian was not obedient in front of the emperor, but he was still obedient.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the emperor opens his mouth, Yu Qian will not "rebuke" as often as before!
And, more importantly, it is very difficult for Yu Qian to do this on his own, involving various yamen.
Whether it can be done or not, in the final analysis, still depends on the emperor’s will.
Zhu Qiyu glanced around and frowned. In fact, the key to this matter lies in whether the court dares to take this risk.
Or to be more precise, what this incident actually tested was his emperor's ability to control the entire border situation.
Whether it is the cabinet or the Ministry of War, the methods they propose range from conservative to radical.
But in the final analysis, their starting position is that this war will really start. In fact, if this premise is not established, then everything will be easily solved.
But the problem is that no one dares to take this guarantee, or in other words, except the emperor Zhu Qiyu, no one is qualified to take this risk.
More importantly, neither the situation in the court nor the situation at the border is static.
Again, maybe Wala didn't have the idea of starting a war at the beginning, but maybe when he arrived in the capital and learned that the imperial court was going to rectify the border troops, he was ready to start a war?
As a minister, I can only make the safest and safest preparations.
So in fact, this is a test for the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, but in the end he did not speak directly. Instead, he cast his gaze on Yang Hong beside him and said.
"Marquis Changping, you have been in Xuanfu for a long time and have dealt with Wala for so many years. According to your opinion, what is the purpose of Wala's envoy coming here?"
Yang Hong was the only general among the four summoned this time.
The most important reason why he was summoned to see him was actually this. In today's DPRK and China, when it comes to understanding and grasping the border situation, no one has a better understanding of the border situation than Yang Hong.
After all, he was the only one who had just returned to the capital from Xuanfu, and he was the only one who had truly been guarding the border for decades.
The matter was of great importance, so Yang Hong was naturally very cautious. His two gray eyebrows were tightly knitted together. From the moment he heard the news, Yang Hong knew that no matter whether this battle could be fought or not, it would matter. This is an opportunity for the Yang family.
Once war breaks out again on the border, Yang Jun is now guarding Xuanfu. Needless to say, its importance. Even if the fight cannot start, you can see from the scene in front of you that today's North Korea and China actually lack people who can accurately grasp the border situation. Minister.
In other words, it's not that these civil servants can't grasp it, but they haven't really fought a war with Oara, so even if they can grasp the situation on the border, they don't dare to fully trust their own judgment.
After all, once you make a wrong judgment on this kind of thing, you risk losing your teacher and humiliating your country.
But Yang Hong is different. He can clearly see the situation at the border. At the same time, his many years of guarding experience also allow him to be confident enough in his own judgment.
Then, the next thing that remains is whether Yang Hong has the courage to make this guarantee in front of the emperor.
Once he can solve the current difficulty, then at least in the future, even if the Yang family is not a confidant to the emperor, they will at least be capable ministers.
Yang Hong talked a lot with Yang Jie in the mansion during this period, and gained a deeper understanding of many things that happened in the court before he returned to Beijing.
The most important thing is that he also has a clear understanding of the emperor's character. Therefore, Yang Hong clearly understands that if he wants to truly gain the emperor's trust, both ability and virtue are indispensable.
With both, people like Yu Qian, Chen Yi, Wang Wen and others can get the emperor's unreserved support and protection.
If you have one of these, you can gain a firm foothold in the court without having to worry about being knocked down due to political struggles of one kind or another.
Therefore, this is the best opportunity to show one's ability in front of the emperor.
When guarding the border before, the most important thing for Yang Hong was his military exploits. Now that he has returned to the capital, the most important thing, or the greatest role he can play for the court, is undoubtedly his grasp of the border situation.
As long as his judgment is accurate enough this time, the Yang family's position will become extremely stable until someone with a more reliable grasp of the border situation emerges.
Therefore, from the beginning, Yang Hong was quickly thinking about the information he had obtained so far, and comparing it with his past experience to make judgments.
Until Emperor Yuyin asked, everyone else present also looked at Yang Hong. He pondered for a moment, finally raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I have a different view from others. I believe that there is no need to stop the process of reorganizing the army and wait for the spring, nor to go to war to prepare the Japanese army, Cao Jiang army and other places to prepare for war. I only need to order the Beijing camp to strictly strengthen
Just practice in case you need it."
After the words fell, the palace fell into a brief silence.
Although he had expected it, Zhu Qiyu still asked.
"Why did Marquis Changping say this?"
Yang Hong exhaled softly, then cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the purpose of the Oara mission is. However, based on my many years of experience guarding the border and my understanding of Yexian, this battle cannot be fought!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and continued to ask.
"Why?"
This question was actually asked on behalf of other people in the palace.
Although they have all considered this possibility, no one dares to say it out loud, and no one can afford the risk of making a mistake in judgment.
So, although Yang Hong was replying, he turned sideways, facing the ministers present, and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, the border situation is changing rapidly. On the battlefield, various surprise troops often appear. If the commander is not experienced enough, it is easy to be deceived by various false signs and make wrong judgments, leading to defeat."
"But this is not an unsolvable matter. No matter how fast the situation on the border changes, it remains true to its roots. Whether on or off the battlefield, the competition between the two armies is all about hard power."
"After the Battle of Tumu, thanks to your majesty's wise judgment and strategic planning, our army defeated the Ala Zhiyuan in Xuanfu, Datong defeated King Bodu, the battle of Zijingguan was overwhelming, and the battle of Shawo was even more powerful, and so on in several battles
We won all the battles. Although it could not undo the losses of our army in the Tumu Battle, it still dealt a heavy blow to Oara."
"No matter what kind of actions Wala is doing now, they are just superficial. More than a year is far from enough to restore Wala's strength. This is a fact that no matter what we do, we can't change it."
"At this time, if Walaruo goes to war with E Daming, it is tantamount to seeking death."
"If a fight really breaks out, my Ming Dynasty will certainly pay a heavy price, but what Wala will face may be the overthrow of the entire tribe."
"So, at least for now, as long as you are not stupid, you will not go to war with me, the Ming Dynasty!"
"Even if he loses his head and really wants to start a war, then the benefits of this war to our Ming Dynasty will only outweigh the harm!"
