When the emperor heard Li Lu's suggestion, he was like dispatching troops around to resist the Tatars, and thought this was a good way, especially when the elites from the nine sides came to support him, which was even more pleasing to him.

The emperor now has no hope for the combat effectiveness of the inland army. Even his Beijing camp is corrupt. Do you still expect those troops with high and far away emperors and no one cares about how much combat effectiveness can they have? The Nine Border Realm is more reliable.

So he quickly ordered: "Issued an order to Liaodong and the governors of the two towns of Xuanfu to quickly come and support them. After receiving the order, the army must arrive at the capital within ten days, and will be executed if it expires."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Dai Quan next to him: "You can send someone to pass the order now, and you can't delay it for a moment."

Dai Quan immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll do it now." After that, he respectfully retreated and retreated to the back.

Dai Quan is now at risk of the situation in the capital and is afraid that the Tatars will suddenly arrive at the capital. Therefore, this time, he sent people instead of taking selfies, but instead took photos of his confidants, allowing them to rush around day and night, conveying the emperor's will to the two governors as quickly as possible.

After a while, he turned back again. He gently came to the emperor and said in the emperor's ear: "Long live, I have sent out the people. I think in a day or two, the governors of the two towns will receive the news."

The emperor nodded gently from above and asked His Highness’s people: “Since the two towns’ governors have been transferred to Beijing, then do you see when will they arrive at the capital? Can they arrive on time according to my will?”

The Minister of War Huo Tu said at this time that he went out to work and replied: "Your Majesty, the troops of the governor of Xuanfu Town are closest to the capital. I think they will definitely arrive within five or six days. The governor of Liaodong is several hundred miles away from the capital, and he still needs to dispatch his troops in the middle. He should be able to arrive at the capital in ten days."

When Huo Tu said this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but it immediately became a little darker.

The emperor was relieved, and then said to Huotu, "You should immediately send a horse to Miyun to check it out, and find out all the Tatars' every move, so that you can know yourself and your enemy."

Huotu hurriedly replied respectfully: "Abide by the emperor's will, I will make arrangements after I go back."

The emperor asked Liu Wan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said, "Is there a shortage of grain in the grain depots in Beijing?"

When Liu Wan heard the emperor's question, the sweat on her face suddenly came out. Others didn't know, could he not know? The grain from the grain warehouses in Beijing had long been resold. She originally thought that in a few days, the new grains from each of them would be transported, and the batch of grain would be cut on the grounds of rotten deterioration. Unexpectedly, the Tatars invaded now and the emperor asked about the food again, so how could he explain it?

Moreover, the grain in the grain storage rice was originally controlled by King Zhongshun. Over the years, they have made a lot of money from these old grains. Even the Ministry of Revenue was very thoughtful, and almost everyone benefited from it. Although they were the Minister of Revenue, they would not dare to touch such a big interest group casually.

When the emperor saw Liu Wan's appearance, he didn't understand that this might be a grain of food. The emperor suppressed his own fire and continued to ask him: "Liu Aiqing, you are talking, how much food is there enough for the army to use."

Liu Wan knelt there and kept kowtowing and saying nothing.

Seeing that he looked like that, the emperor could no longer suppress the fire. He picked up the inkstone on the imperial desk and smashed it hard at Liu Wan. This time he hit Liu Wan's head, and his stool was bleeding at the beginning. However, Liu Wan seemed to not feel it, and still knelt there and kowtowed constantly.

At this time, no one of the ministers did not understand what was going on. They all thought that Liu Wan was too bold. Some people had reselled grain before, but these people dared to move old grain after the new grain transportation. How could they dare to join Liu Wan so bold that in order to sell more silver when the Qinghuang was not accepted, they dared to sell the old grain in advance.

The emperor didn't want to say anything to him at this time, and sent an order: "Trust Liu Wan's whole family into the heavenly prison, and wait until the Tatars retreated before they were defeated."

As soon as the emperor passed the order, Liu Yu, the Minister of Personnel, came out to speak for him as Liu Wan's good friend.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to do good deeds outside the law. There are other hidden information about the food in Beijing this time, and Liu Wan has no fault in it."

After Liu Yu, the Minister of Personnel, suddenly a group of people knelt on the ground and pleaded for Liu Wan together. These people came from various factions, and I don’t know why they were so united in this matter.

The emperor realized something was wrong. He thought about it now. Even if Liu Wan had the courage to sell all the grains in the grain storage rice in the capital. There must be some big shots in the process. I'm afraid his sons are the real murderers behind the scenes.

The emperor thought about this matter and could not be pursued any more. Otherwise, it would be a huge scandal. It would be better to stop there. So he issued a new order: "Since so many people plead for him, then I will write it down this time. I will pay a salary for one year to warn you."

At this time, the emperor was afraid that his sons would be exposed to the eyes of the world. At that time, no matter how the world looked at the people in the royal family, he could only lift the board high and gently drop it, and just fool it over.

Next, the emperor asked like the person below: "It is unknown how much food is left in the grain warehouse now. Everyone should make the worst plan and discuss what to do if there is no food."

Grand Secretary Pan Yong thought of a cold light at this time. If he didn't use some harsh moves at this time, the capital would be in danger, and he would probably be doomed again. For his own life, others would not care about it.

Pan Yong gave the Ban's remarks: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now, and there is no more kindness from women. We should immediately send officers and soldiers to search all the grain merchants in the city, and concentrate the grain for military use. The grain merchants lost will be returned at a fair price after the war."

When the emperor heard this, he slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay, Pan Aiqing said it well. At this time, it is time for them to serve. If the order is passed on, all grain merchants must hand over all the grain. If they conceal it, they will hoard it privately to punish the crime of colluding with the enemy."

When the ministers below heard Pan Yong's suggestion, they cursed in their hearts. None of these families had opened a grain shop or two. They originally thought that they would make a small fortune by taking advantage of this military disaster. It seemed that they had been ruined now, and all the civil and military officials in the court would lose a lot of money. But now no one dared to stand up and oppose it, otherwise the emperor would be angry, let alone food, even his life would not be able to be preserved.

Then the monarch and ministers began to defend the capital again and discussed until midnight before they dispersed. However, the ministers did not go home, but went to the yamen to take charge.

Let’s talk about the eunuchs sent to Xuanfu Town to deliver the order. This time, they did not make a big fuss and took a car and sedan chair, but instead rode a fast horse and ran towards Xuanfu Town.

Along the way, I immediately changed my horse and didn't take a break. I wanted to put on my wings and flew directly to Xuanfu Town.

They walked all day and night, and finally arrived at Xuanfu Town at dusk the next day. Now they were all unkempt and there was no such thing as being majestic when they first left the capital.

When they arrived at Xuanfu Town, they were about to close the city gate. When they saw it, they shouted loudly: "Don't close the gate, I have the emperor's will to pass the decree to the governor."

When the soldiers who closed the door heard him say this, they immediately stopped and waited until they entered the door before they dared to close the door.

The eunuchs who were delivering the orders did not stop and came directly to the gate of the Jiedushi's mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, several soldiers came to stop them. The eunuchs led the hoarse voice and said to the soldiers: "Come to ask you Jiedushi to come out and receive the orders. I have an urgent imperial edict." As he said that, he staggered in.

Before the gatekeeper found out his true identity, the soldiers dared not let him break into the Jiedu Mansion, so they stepped forward to stop him and said, "This lord is a little calm. There are rules for issuing the order. Please show your identity and I can inform you."

Only then did the eunuch realize that he was abrupt. What is this place? This is a major town in the border area. If everyone could break in with a shout, that would be great.

So he hurriedly took out a gold medal from his waist and handed it to the soldier. The soldier took the waist card and said the words "Walking in the Big Inside" on it.

Then he felt relieved and asked the people next to him to hurry in and inform Jia Ke, and he led several eunuchs into the lobby of the governor.

After sitting down in the lobby of the Jiedushi, those eunuchs said to the personal soldier next to them: "Please prepare some pastries and tea for us. We have not yet entered the water until now, so we may not be able to hold on for long."

When the personal soldier heard this, he immediately explained the situation to several colleagues next to him and prepared some food for them. These soldiers did not have any pastries, so they only brought them a few big cakes and ordinary white water.

However, several eunuchs picked up and ate it as if they had never seen it. After a short while, a big cake disappeared into their mouths, and then they took a sip of water and continued to attack the big cake in front of them. It seemed that they had not had enough water and rice to eat along the way, and they were a little hungry.

Jia Ke has been paying attention to the information about the Tatars these days, and just the day before, he received news that the Tatars had conquered Beigukou.

Jia Ke knew that the city of Miyun was lost after Beigukou was no longer of great significance to the capital.

In the northern plains with a flat horse, the Tatars could arrange a few thousand men to prevent Miyun from acting rashly. At that time, the Tatars would be able to go straight to the capital to sweep the surroundings.

Jia Ke guessed that the imperial decree of the court should be issued in the past or two days, and that he should show his skills. Speaking of which, Jia Ke is now named Marquis of Wuyang and the governor of Xuanfu Town, and is already in the first rank. He is considered to be of high power, but his influence on the government is almost zero, and he is even less than a third-rank civil official in the capital. This is the sorrow of military generals in the prosperous era.

The purpose of Jia Ke's visit to the capital this time is to expand his influence and at least leave his own shadow in the emperor's heart.

Jia Ke was sitting in the study and was thinking randomly when he suddenly heard the personal soldiers outside the door shouting: "Uncle, the eunuch who issued the order has arrived at the lobby of the Jiedushi Mansion, and you will go and receive the order quickly."

When Jia Ke heard this, he couldn't help but smile. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came. So he looked very panicked and ran to the lobby of the governor so that the eunuch could know that he respected the emperor very much. When he heard the imperial edict, he quickly came out to receive the edict.

But when I arrived at the lobby, I saw a few eunuchs in disheveled clothes sitting on a chair next to the lobby, holding a few big cakes in their hands and chewing them all over the place. It seemed that they were starving along the way.

Jia Ke ran in in a panic just now, and no one watched it. Jia Ke's performance was in vain.
