Chapter 51 Jingtai, who understands reality

Capital City, Wenhua Hall.

The court discussion is underway, and the Minister of War Yu Qian is presenting the war report.

“…On the seventh day of November, Juyongguan’s Admiral and Right Deputy Censor Luo Tong opened the city gate and welcomed the emperor to the north gate. Yesen’s army rushed in, Juyongguan was defeated…”

Yu Qian finished reading the latest military newspaper and stood quietly without saying a word.

Juyongguan was broken, and this news was really shocking to the people in the court.

After a great victory in Maguan, Yesian's army was defeated. This was something that happened only in October. The Marquis of Wuqing, Su Cheng, led the four Wu camps to chase the death and chase the north, and drove Yesian back to the grassland.

Why did it make a comeback after just a few dozen days of practice and break the Juyong Pass?

Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong stepped forward and left:

"I think that I should immediately send heavy troops and station them in front of Juyong Pass to stop Yesen's army from moving south."

Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, frowned and wanted to scold Xinchengbo for opening his mouth and fighting against the cavalry with his footsteps. This was not to stop the Wala army, but to add fuel and damage the troops.

Yu Shan, the Minister of War, stepped out and spoke:

"I will immediately send troops to Juyongguan to defend the capital."

Chen Mao opened his mouth and closed it again. Yu Shan was not a soldier, so how could he agree with this tactic of adding fuel to it?

Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, also agreed:

"I am following the proposal and defending the capital is the most important thing."

The seven ministers spoke and immediately set the tone for this matter, and the soldiers must come up with it.

On the imperial stairs, Emperor Jingtai asked:

"Since that's the case, who can lead the troops to rescue Juyongguan?"

Yu Qian spoke immediately:

"I recommend the general officer of the Fenwu Camp in Beijing, Jing'anbo, and the governor-general Fan Guang, who can bear this position."

Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng made a list of memorials:

"I recommend Zhang Fu, the Governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, to be the younger brother of the British Duke Zhang Fu, who will fight south and north, and can bear this position."

All the civil and military ministers have launched military generals they like. Let’s see who the emperor wants to lead the troops.

Emperor Jingtai looked at the military officials' queue, and he felt quite disappointed without the figure he wanted.

If Sucheng is here, why should I worry? At that time, there was an army of 80,000, and Sucheng could still win the battle. Now it is just a defeated army of Ola, and Sucheng will definitely win the battle.

What a pity, Sucheng is not here.

However, Zhang Fu was appointed as the chief officer of the Central Army Governor's Office for a long time and had also led the army to fight abroad. Moreover, he was the younger brother of former British Duke Zhang Fu, and he was sufficient in terms of qualifications and abilities.

Fan Guang once served in the Liaodong border army and had great military achievements. Since he was transferred to the capital, he has also made great contributions under Su Cheng. Su Cheng also expected him, and Fan Guang's qualifications and abilities were sufficient.

It seems that you can choose whoever you want.

It seems that none of them can work.

Emperor Jingtai had a dilemma. His eyes swept across the civil and military officials, and finally locked in the middle of the prince-in-law Shi Jing.

"Shi Jing, in your opinion, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Shi Jing left the line and said respectfully:

"I think both of them have qualifications and martial arts skills that are enough to lead the army to north to rescue Juyong. In terms of qualifications alone, General Fan Guang is slightly inferior to General Zhang Fu."

Ningyang Hou Chen Mao finally left the list:

"I believe that the governor and the governor Zhang Fu have been through the battle formation for a long time and can bear this position."

Now that things have come, Chen Mao finally realized that rescuing Juyongguan and fighting against the cavalry with footsteps is the next step that the court must do. If these people can block the Oirat cavalry, it will be good.

If you can't stop it, you can delay the speed of advancing troops first, and buy time for the capital to arrange defense.

There was a slight restlessness in the civil servant team. The two seven ministers expressed their opinions that the military officials and nobles had two chief officials from the Central Army Governor's Office. This was a clear attitude to fight.

Jingtai glanced at Cheng Jing next to him, and Cheng Jing waved his hand in slightest. The Censor Jiuyi waved the whip, and the lower part was quiet.

"The governor-general Zhang Fu was appointed as the general officer, and the Marquis of Longping Zhang Fu was appointed as the deputy general. He led the four camps to the north and rescued Juyongguan."

Emperor Jingtai made the final decision.

Immediately afterwards, Jingtaidi continued:

"With Yu Qian as the admiral, he commanded the 12th Regiment Battalion and prepared to defend the capital."

"The Minister of War Yu Qian, Minister of Personnel Wang Zhi, Minister of Personnel Hu Yi, Minister of Personnel Hu Yi, and Retired from the court."

All the officials dispersed, leaving only three big bosses.

Emperor Jingtai changed his court robes and met three important officials in the side hall.

As soon as they met, Emperor Jingtai handed a note to Cheng Jing, who distributed it to the three ministers.

The Minister of Rites Hu Yi was the first to see the memorial. After reading it, he felt irritated.

Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, looked at the memorial, pinched his beard, his face turned pale and blue.

Yu Qian was the last one to read the note. After reading it, he immediately left the chair and leaned over to the hem:

"Your Majesty, I think I should immediately summon the Marquis of Wuqing Sucheng to return to the capital, and lead the four Wu camps to the north and clear the emperor's side."

Clear the side of the king?

As soon as the three words came out, the side hall immediately became quiet and the needles could be heard.

Several pairs of eyes fell on Yu Qian, surprised, surprised, relieved, and all kinds of emotions.

After a while, Hu Yi also left the hem of the chair:

"There is no two days, and there is no two masters in the sky. The Supreme Emperor is in the camp of the enemy and cannot do anything by himself. This must be accepted by the false edict that was first held hostage. What the Secretary said is very much. Your Majesty must recall the Marquis of Wuqing and clear the emperor's side."

Wang Zhi also left the chair:

"I'm going to discuss it."

"The Supreme Emperor used the imperial edict to surrender the right deputy chief censor Luo Tong, and used the Ola army to steal the throne to Juyongguan, and tried to return to the throne. These were all slanderous words from villains on the side of the king. As the Shangshu said, clear the king's side."

Zhu Qiyu's ability to ascend the throne can be said to be entirely due to the civil servant group. Although the first initiative was Sucheng, the entire civil servant group was promoted later.

If Zhu Qizhen returned to the throne with the support of Yesen, the first ones to be liquidated would be these civil officials.

Emperor Jingtai looked at the three important officials with relief and nodded repeatedly. He was not afraid of breaking through Juyong Pass first and then capturing the capital. With Sucheng, the Dinghai Sword Needle, he was not afraid of Oirat at all.

With 40,000 or 80,000, and with steps to defeat the cavalry, Emperor Jingtai was confused about Sucheng. As long as Sucheng was there, the Ola would be a native chicken and a tile dog.

What he was worried about was the attitude of the seven important ministers in the court. After all, a month ago, Zhu Qizhen was still the emperor. How many people would obey the order he issued was a very worrying issue for Jingtai.

"Okay, then as Mr. Yu said, I urgently summoned Sucheng to return to the capital."

"Mr. Yu, when Sucheng is gone, I will be in charge of the Beijing camp."

Yu Qian bowed and agreed.

Emperor Jingtai looked at Wang Zhi next to him again:

"Mr. Wang is the leader of all officials. Now the capital is about to be inspected. When this matter occurs, the court will be discussed and discussed. Mr. Wang needs to pay more attention."

Wang Zhi received the order.

Emperor Jingtai finally looked at Hu Yi:

"Mr. Hu, what the Supreme Emperor did is quite incompatible with the etiquette system, and he also has to trouble Mr. Hu to write a memorial using etiquette and refute the false edict."

Hu Yi bowed and took the order.

Several important officials went there, and only Emperor Jingtai and several attendant officials were left in the hall.

Cheng Jing boldly persuaded:

"The emperor doesn't have to worry. There are some seven ministers who are assisted by Yu Shangshu, and the Marquis of Wuqing outside lead the troops to defeat the enemy. Some sluts can't cause any big storms."

Emperor Jingtai shook his head helplessly:

"I, the emperor, am not at ease."

"Su Cheng deeply felt my heart. He drove the Supreme Emperor into the grassland the last time. He thought he could calm down for a few days, but he didn't expect that in just over a month, he would have caused such a thing again."
