Chapter 197: An Enemy Comes from Far Away
This roar focused the eyes of all the ministers on him, "As an important minister in the court, you are in a mess here like a common man at this time, what kind of system is it?" Hu Hu curled his beard and asked the ministers loudly.
In terms of age and qualifications, Hu Hu has enough capital, and at this shout, many courtiers are about to bow their heads, and they dare not argue with them. But there are also people who are not afraid of Hu Hu, for example, Shang Shuyi Ming of the Ministry of War stood up with a wat board in his hand, "Hu Shangshu, isn't it that Yang Chendong is your grandson-in-law, can't you protect him so here?" ”
Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also stepped forward and said: "Hu Shangshu, this is not the time to think about family affection." ”
"Yes, when this country is in danger, the overall situation should be taken first, and family affection should be put aside." Jin Lian, the new head of the household department, also stood up and accused Hu Hu of not.
After participating in the court meeting for so many years, Hu Hu was rarely attacked by three Shangshu at one time. But in the face of this situation, he didn't have the intention of backing down, his eyes looked back at the three of them, and said with disdain: "Oh? In this way, the three of them should know how to fight? That is the case, why didn't you stand up to resist the heavy burden when the emperor wanted to choose a general before? ”
"This..."Shang Shuyiming, who was blushing by Hu Hu's words, knew that he was the person who should stand up and carry everything, but he didn't have the confidence and didn't dare to do this. Now that Hu Hu is saying this, he is clearly attacking him. "Hu Shangshu, what we are talking about now is the fact that the door of victory is not open, please don't change the topic, okay? Isn't it that Yang Chendong has already surrendered to Wara, and you, the grandfather, will also be beneficial, so can't you say good things for him? ”
Yiming's attack can be said to be the thing that everyone is most worried about, and the faces of many ministers have changed for a while, even Zhu Qiyu, who is sitting on the dragon chair, is pale at this moment. If what Yi Ming Shangshu said was the truth, then wouldn't he be tantamount to giving the Jingshi to the enemy?
"Yishangshu, please respect yourself." Seeing that the emperor and all the ministers were moved by Yi Ming's words, Hu Hu roared with an angry face: "May I ask if there is any evidence for what Yi Shangshu said?" ”
"Evidence? Of course not, but why did the gates open? Yiming saw that Hu Hu was angry when he was said, and couldn't help but say a little complacently. Originally, he was not even a third-grade official, but he was appreciated by Zhu Qiyu, so he got a military secretary and became a second-rank member of the Ming Dynasty. But even so, he knew that some senior ministers were still not used to him. Now, it can be said that Hu Hushang is speechless, and in the future, no one will dare to look down on him in the court.
Hu Hu is an old minister of several dynasties, and he has seen so many storms, how can he be asked by an upstart Yiming? Hearing that the other party had no evidence, he couldn't help but ask with a sneer: "Even if there is no evidence, what Master Yi said just now is suspected of being framed." ”
Even Shangshu stopped calling him and changed his name to adult, the contempt in Hu Hui's eyes was already very obvious.
A counterattack suddenly made Yi Ming's face very ugly, but before he wanted to fight back, Hu Hu had already continued: "For a while, who doesn't know that Zhongdang Hou has a big estate in Beijing. Let's ask, if he didn't have absolute confidence in keeping the Jingshi, why did he do this? ”
"This... It may be that he wants to calm people's hearts. Having said that, if he had already colluded with Warat, he would probably not touch his property when the alien race entered the Jingshi, right? Yi Ming was asked and didn't know how to answer, so he simply said with the heart of a villain.
"Haha, joke. This is simply your unbridled conjecture. What kind of person is Warat, presumably the emperor and the ministers already know in their hearts, this is simply a group of insatiable people, imagine dealing with such people, then how can they put away their greed because of people? If the Marquis wanted to make friends with Warat, he didn't need to do so at all. Let's not forget who saved Yingzong from Warat's hands in the first place. If he wanted to be friendly with Warat, there was no need to do it. ”
mentioned Yingzong's name, and suddenly the ministers all gasped. Yes, if Yang Chendong was really such a person who ate inside and outside, there was no need to do that at all. This reason instantly convinced many people, including Daizong Zhu Qiyu.
"Loyal to Yu Yingzong, he has the grace to save his life, but he didn't go to accompany the capital Nanjing a while ago? Presumably, everyone can already understand the thoughts. This time, he was under tremendous pressure to confront the strong enemy Warat, so isn't it too chilling for us to still not believe him so much? Hu Hu said with a look of grievances for Yang Chendong. In fact, he is also extremely optimistic about his grandson-in-law.
With Hu Hui's words, the originally excited ministers quickly quieted down. Even the emperor Zhu Qiyu also had a lot of confidence because of these words, and said in the court: "Yes, the loyal and courageous marquis is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and no one is allowed to say such words in the future." For now, let's wait for the good news. ”
Because of Hu Hui's refusal to argue, the controversy in the court was finally suppressed. Yang Chendong, who didn't know anything about these, was standing on the tower of the Victory Gate at the moment, looking into the distance. He didn't know that Hu Hu had already helped him block the attacks of the ministers, so that he could rest assured that he would lead the army to fight in the front.
Of course, even if there was no Hu Hu's help, Yang Chendong would not hand over the military power at this time, but there would be a lot more trouble.
Standing on top of the tower, the moment he put down the binoculars, he smiled and said to the four delicate women in camouflage uniforms standing on the side: "You can take a look now, the Warat cavalry is coming!" ”
"Ahh Is it coming? Where, where? The four daughters of Hu Hu were very excited at this moment, and they each held a telescope hanging around their necks and looked into the distance, and sure enough, bursts of smoke and dust flew, and the Wara cavalry arrived.
Led by the king of Saikan and guided by Xining, the 10,000 cavalry of Wara were rapidly coming towards the Ming Jingshi. There are so many people, and from a distance, it's really spectacular.
Seeing that it was only less than fifteen miles away from the Jingshi, the fast horse scouts sent from the front galloped back and reported the situation of the victory gate of the Jingshi.
"The gates are wide open? What does this mean? The king of the journal was a little overwhelmed by the news. It is said that knowing that he is coming, either the Ming army is defending the city, or it is a crazy escape, what is the purpose of opening the city? This is not true!
Xining was also confused by this news. After not being in Beijing for such a long time, he doesn't know what kind of changes have taken place here, all he knows is that because of the ascendancy of Zhu Qiyu of Daizong, there was a situation where two emperors ruled together, and that's it.
The Tongzhi of the Two Emperors was a good thing in Xining's eyes, and the dispersion of forces gave the Warat army a chance to break through. But when the gate of the Jingshi opened in front of him, he couldn't figure it out and didn't know why.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the king of the journal on the side had already asked him, "Brother Xining, why did Daming open the door to victory?" Do you want to surrender to us? ”
"It's... Perhaps. Xining couldn't figure out the reason, so naturally she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she had to follow the words of the king of the magazine.
Xining: This is just a kind word, to put it bluntly, he has no idea. But his answer was heard in the ears of the king of the journal, but he thought that he had guessed correctly. At the moment, he was overjoyed: "Haha, that's true." The Ming army is just a rat, and when I know that my elite cavalry is coming, I must be panicked. In order to save his life, it is possible to surrender on his own initiative, so he ordered the army to speed up and strive to enter the Beijing Division at noon. ”
The Warat cavalry who heard the order were all overjoyed and eager to try, but only Xining felt that things would not be so simple, but he really couldn't think of a reason to do so, so he had to follow the army to the Jingshi Victory Gate.
"They're coming, coming straight to us." On the top of the city tower, Hu Yan jumped and said, and then she felt that her performance was a little out of etiquette, and she immediately walked to Yang Chendong's side with a red face.
"Huh." Seeing Hu Yan show such a cute side, Yang Chendong smiled. He was even more proud that the army of Warat was coming towards the victory gate according to his plan, and this was what made him truly happy.
There are only 10,000 city defense troops, and they are still second-line troops. For them, Yang Chendong really didn't dare to expect too much. But the capital division of the Ming Dynasty is too big, and there are as many as twelve gates that can enter the city alone, so how to concentrate troops and lead the enemy to attack all the way is the first thing to consider.
In order to achieve this goal, Yang Chendong ordered the other eleven doors to be closed, but only opened the victory gate. Now it seems that it has succeeded in attracting the opponent's troops.
It was only a distance of fifteen miles, and in just a few moments, the mighty cavalry of Warat appeared outside the victory gate. It is really more than 10,000 soldiers and boundless, plus it is cavalry, which gives people a sense of vastness and enormity.
This kind of formation also frightened Hu Yan and the four daughters. Everything they were exposed to about the war was just to be told by people, and they had never looked at it like now, and for a moment their bodies trembled with nervousness.
Yang Chendong had already noticed the changes in them, and stepped forward to give them a big hug one by one, and the warm embrace quickly made them calm down again. Then Sixth Young Master Yang strode to the front of the city wall, his gaze looked down, and fell on Xi Ning and his party who walked out of the cavalry ranks.
