Qi Jiguang's arrival has to wait a little longer, because his Daning City is special, it is a lonely city hanging alone outside the Great Wall, and he can't leave the main general for a moment.

Not only did Yang Siwei arrive, but also after Yang Siwei thoroughly understood the key points of Daning City's city defense and sent his entourage to control the key points, Qi Jiguang could go. Otherwise, if Daning City loses, don't look at the fact that the two of them are famous generals with a lot of credits, and they still can't afford to be guilty.

Daning City, that is the evidence that Daming stretched out his hand to slap the Tumen after the Battle of Monan! Zhu Yijun, a young genius, can he not take this very seriously?

What's more, Daning City is also Gao Gongbao's record, if Daning City is lost, who will give this newly promoted young Sima an explanation? Don't look at Gao Pragmatic, the young Sima is in charge of the Beijing camp, but he is still the left squire of the military department, and he is one of the officials of the military generals in the world!

Taking advantage of the fact that Qi Jiguang still had some time to come to Beijing, Gao Pragmatic began to focus on logistics - speaking of which, this is still his forte.

According to the high-level plan, the Praetorian Guard battalion in the north of the city made a bold attempt, not only planning the training camp, garrison, grain storage warehouse, armor warehouse, gunpowder warehouse and so on of more than 60,000 people, but also building it into a super-large fortress in accordance with the requirements of high pragmatism.

It is conceivable that this place will definitely have two names in the future: Jingbei Camp and Praetorian Guard Fort.

However, there was great resistance to the implementation of this plan, because when the Ministry of War reported it to the cabinet, Shen Shixing expressed his disagreement.

It stands to reason that in the current cabinet, the Shixue school has a clear numerical advantage, including the second assistant, Xu Guo, a scholar of Jianji Temple, and two group assistants, Zhang Xueyan, a scholar of Wenyuange University, and Wu Dui, a scholar of Dongge University.

In a five-member cabinet, the voice of the Shixue school who occupies the position of three cabinet ministers is certainly not small, but it is a pity that Shen Shixing has the upper hand this time.

Because he's the first assistant.

Taking advantage of the east wind blowing all the way from Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Guo Pu, and Zhang Siwei all the way to the present, Shen Shixing, the first assistant, is still a "strong first assistant", not only can he overwhelm the six ministries and one court, but also can make a decision in the cabinet - of course, if other cabinet ministers are forced to resign, it is two words.

However, Shen Shixing is not a personality like Gao Gong after all, although he decided in one word, he still gave a reason, and this reason is very high-sounding and reasonable: there is no money.

No money, these two words are really like a nightmare in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many big things and important things are bad in these two words.

And now, Shen Shixing still relies on these two words to reject the military department's negligence.

He said earnestly in the cabinet: "Princes, the idea that the Ministry of War is now going to boost the Beijing camp is of course good, and I myself support it very much.

But as an assistant to the country, we can't move blindly, let alone be radical, there is a poem that you must have read: 'Ten thousand dragons and green silk, carried to Yangzhou will not be returned.' It should be the Heavenly Sect that opens the water, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles. As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit. Although Pirixiu is talking about the Grand Canal, the truth in it is also the same in the matter of the Praetorian Guard.

How much money has the imperial court spent in recent years? The Great War has been going on for years, everyone! Xin Zhai Gong, you are in charge of the household department, how much money does the household department have this year? ”

Zhang Xueyan shook his head slightly: "Excluding the money that must be spent in the budget, there are about 130,000 taels of surplus silver left this year." ”

"Look, 130,000 taels." Shen Shixing immediately said: "With such a big stall in the imperial court, there may be some accidents anywhere and it will cost money, how much can these 130,000 taels do?" And I still have a question, is it necessary for this Jingbei camp to be so exaggerated? The two big camps in the inner and outer cities that used to be so unwanted now? ”

Since it came to specific matters, as the minister in charge of the military department, Wu Dui couldn't help but stand up and speak: "Yuanfu, the Jingbei camp or the Praetorian Guard Fort, the purpose of its construction is still very clear, and the reason makes sense, these are explained in the military department's recital. ”

He pointed to the song on Shen Shixing's table, and said, "The reason why the camp in the north of the capital is located is because the enemy of our dynasty is in the north. The Praetorian Guards stationed in the north of Beijing meant 'pioneers for the king'. As for why such a huge fortress was built, it is considered from two aspects. ”

"On the one hand, the 60,000 troops of the Praetorian Guard are stationed in Jingbei, and even if there is an enemy who takes advantage of my unpreparedness to attack near Gyeonggi, they will not dare to do anything until they get rid of this camp in Gyeongbei, which is a good relief of the pressure that Shenjing may face.

On the other hand, the Janissaries were not located in the city so as not to disturb the people, and not far from the north of the city so that they could be dispatched at any time once they were ordered to do so, without affecting the execution of any tasks. ”

He concluded: "Therefore, in summary, the location of the Janissaries and the reasons for the establishment of the fortress are very sufficient, as for the specific cost of money involved...... This should be asked to be high-minded. ”

Don't look at Shen Shixing talking to the three pavilion elders alone, he actually has something unhappy in his heart - it is really a bit inconvenient to ask him, the first assistant, to directly interfere in everything.

Thinking of this, he even subconsciously glanced at Pan Sheng. Pan Sheng, the old man, is eighteen years older than him, but he seems to be in good spirits, except for some behind his ears, there is almost nothing extraordinarily old.

As for the back of the ear...... The devil knows if it's real or not, maybe he's just pretending to be behind his ears to keep him talking.

However, Shen Shixing's hope, everyone present understood it wrongly.

The three elders of the Shixue School thought that Pan Sheng had taken refuge in Shen Shixing - following the first assistant and mixing, he generally did not suffer a loss. Pan Sheng is a neutral person, since he could follow Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei before, then of course he can also follow Shen Shixing now.

Who is not with you, as long as it's Shousuke.

But Pan Sheng himself was very surprised, he couldn't understand what Shen Shixing meant by glancing at him at this time.

Old Man Pan secretly said in his heart: Could it be that Shen Rumo, this kid, wants to win me over? But you didn't say hello before, and suddenly came to such a set, how do I know how to cooperate with you? I don't know what you want!

Are you just opposing this plan, or do you want to use your opposition to this plan to attack the imp of Gao Shipra, or do you want to take the opportunity to show that now that you are in power, everything in the court must listen to you?

You haven't told me anything, how can I cooperate with you?

Besides, why do I have to cooperate with you? Now that you're on both sides, with the first assistant on one side and the numerical superiority on the other, who knows who will have the last laugh in this fight? It's not that easy to get my old man to bet. How good it is that I don't offend both sides, even if you don't win me over, you will definitely not offend me, let me finish the remaining two or three years in peace, what a good thing!

But I think so, after all, the first assistant has already "signaled with his eyes", and he really can't say anything about it, at least he has to come out and fool a few words.

So Old Man Pan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "This sparse text, the old man also read it just now, the writing is excellent, the reason is very clear, and it is a good article......"

Wu Dui, who was newly admitted to the cabinet, almost couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw him talking nonsense: Is it time to talk about articles!

Zhang Xueyan, who entered the cabinet at the same time but was older, frowned slightly.

Only Xu Guo, who had been in the cabinet for many years, knew enough about Pan Sheng's style, so he picked up the fragrant tea gracefully, gently flicked the floating tea foam with the lid of the cup, and took a small sip.

Sure enough, as he expected, Pan Sheng babbled about the quality of the article, and then continued to speak: "Gao Longwen's article, the old man has always liked it very much, and it was Yuan Fu and the old man who clicked on his Huiyuan at the beginning...... So there is no problem with the truth in his article, and the old man thinks that he should do it after reading it. ”

This time it was Wu Dui's turn to be surprised, and he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that I want to fork in, Old Man Pan didn't stand on Shen Shixing's side at all? But in this case, what does Shen Shixing mean by signaling him to speak?

Zhang Xueyan was also a little surprised, frowning slightly, but did not say anything else.

Although Shen Shixing found that Pan Sheng seemed to have misunderstood his intention to look at him when he spoke just now, and what he said now seemed to be on the side of the Gao Party, Shen Shixing's face was still as usual, and he was not moved at all.

What kind of person is Pan Sheng, he is still unclear? Now that he is the first assistant, as long as Pan Sheng still wants to be glorious, at least he will not embarrass himself in person. As for what he's talking about now, it doesn't matter at all, because he's going to make a turn.

Sure enough, when Pan Sheng said this, the words immediately changed: "But Yuanfu's worries are also reasonable, Ziyu (Zhang Xueyanzi) also said just now, the household department has no money left, if they are all invested in this Jingbei camp, once the imperial court has something to do, it will be blind." ”

The corners of Shen Shixing's mouth showed a vague smile, and he secretly said in his heart: I know that you, the old guy, must not be offended on both sides-look, you are all very reasonable in this matter, otherwise you should leave it to the emperor to decide, right?

So Shen Shixing simply helped him and said, "So, what does Pan Lao mean?" ”

Pan Sheng sighed: "The situation is difficult, it is not easy to be a minister, how can we be courtiers in such a big matter...... Why don't you ask the emperor to make a judgment, what do you think? ”

Wu Dui finally couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly slandered: Since the situation is difficult, shouldn't being a courtier be more responsible? I can't make up my mind about anything, and I leave it all to the emperor to judge and judge, so why does the emperor want us to come?

Auxiliary, auxiliary, neither auxiliary, nor can't, what use do you want!

It's a pity that he can only slander this, but he can't say it, Wu Dui had to keep silent, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, as if the tea had an enmity with him.

As soon as he raised his head, Xu Guo looked at him, and shook his head imperceptibly.

Wu Dui was reminded by him, and suddenly blessed his soul: Holy Judgment?

Yikes! Holy Judgment is good!

Seeking truth and sparse text to let the emperor judge the emperor, the probability of the emperor agreeing is quite high!

Thinking of this, he bowed his hand slightly to Shen Shixing and said, "In that case, Yuanfu, why don't you draft a vote according to the two discussions of the cabinet and ask the emperor to decide, how about it?" ”

Shen Shixing bowed slightly: "Let's do it - you can go and get busy and walk slowly." With that, he stood up, took the hand and walked to his public house.

Pan Sheng then got up and said goodbye to the three of them.

Xu Guo and the other three finally got up, and under Xu Guo's eyes, Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui tacitly followed Xu Guo to his public house.

After entering the door and sitting down, Wu Dui asked: "Wei Zhen (Xu Guozi, Wu Dui was a jinshi before him, so he called the word instead of his number), do you think this matter makes the emperor's holy judge better?" ”

Xu Guo nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I thought I could look at this matter separately." ”

Wu Dui asked: "How to look at it separately?" ”

"First of all, no matter what the outcome of the Holy Ruling is, at least we have set a tone in the cabinet: the construction of the camp in the northern part of the Jingbei camp itself makes sense, right?"

There seems to be no problem with this, although Shen Shixing expressed a slight doubt just now, but after Wu Dui explained, Shen Shixing did not insist. Then there is no problem with Xu Guo's words, and the tone has indeed been set.

Zhang Xueyan twisted his beard and asked: "What does Wei Zhen mean is that even if the emperor does not allow it this time, it is not a big problem?" Because since the approach is right, but the money is not enough at the moment, it will always be done in the future, and it is nothing more than a matter of time. ”

Xu Guo bowed slightly: "This one is indeed the case." ”

Wu Dui asked: "Since they are separated, what about the other one?" ”

"The other is to see how much influence our Shen Yuanfu has on the emperor." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The reason why Shousuke has been regarded as a 'real prime minister' for decades is actually to put it bluntly, the foundation is Shousuke's influence on the emperor. In the past, when Gao Wenzheng was the second assistant in the cabinet, Li Shilu could only be submissive as the first assistant, isn't the reason that his influence on Mu Miao is far less than that of Gao Wenzhenggong? ”

He paused for a moment, his gaze became a little more solemn, and he continued: "For more than ten years, I have always held the power of the first and auxiliary votes. Now because of Fengpan Gongding's worries, this power has suddenly fallen into the hands of the Xinxue faction, how much variable this change will lead, you and I can only guess. Today is an opportunity......"

Zhang Xueyan completely understood what Xu Guo meant, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Wei Zhen is gambling on you - who is more holy between Yuanfu and Truth-seeking?" ”

Wu Dui's face changed slightly, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he said a little nervously: "This bet is not very fair!" Wei Zhen, are you sure you want this? ”

Of course, it's not fair, Gao Pragmatic is just a soldier of the Ministry of War, and under the system of four soldiers after the reform of Gao Gong, he is currently only ranked second. The third-in-command of this military department is not fair to compare the "weight" with the head of the current dynasty.

But Xu Guo said with a straight face: "But in order for us to have a grasp of Shen Yuanfu's strength in the future, we must accompany this gamble." ”

Wu Dui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, just sighed wordlessly.
