Chapter 1108: Court Council (End)

Liao Ji reviewed Xu Jin's achievements over the years, and then said sarcastically: "How, can the Yasukuni Gong be a teacher?" ”

Since Xu Jin dared to stand up and argue, he was naturally prepared, how could he be refuted so easily, only to see him say with a calm expression: "As the so-called obstacle does not see Mount Tai, Liao Ge Lao only sees the swords and soldiers for many years, but he does not see that the people of my Ming Dynasty are living and working in peace and contentment, and the national strength is thriving." You must know that stability is the cornerstone of everything, without a stable environment, everything is just in vain, and the reason why I can have today's stability is that the soldiers have thrown their heads and blood over the years, and it is not easy to come by.

For nearly 100 years, the southern and northern captives have always been the confidants of my Ming Dynasty, and the problem of the northern captives is particularly serious. The Tatars almost every year go south to invade our border, they burn, kill and loot, the people suffer for a long time, and the year before last I answered even more knocked south, besieged the capital, and narrowly cut off my Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people were raped and plundered, their wives were separated, and their families were ruined. This is not only my Ming Ming, but also my Ming shame, it is a great shame! Now I am the Ming Dynasty, from the king to the people, all of whom are different from the enemy, and I can't wait to step on the Tatars to avenge the shame, and the people's peace of mind may be true, but the Tartars are exceptional!

Besides, now that the disease of the Southern Expedition has been cured, it is time for me to free up my hands to completely solve the Northern Capture. Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, and the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed? Only those foolish worms, or people with ulterior motives, would oppose the Northern Expedition. ”

"Well spoken!" The officials of the main battle faction couldn't help but cheer in unison, and Jiajing also flicked his dragon robe excitedly and said loudly: "Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing." Xu Qing said it well! ”

The lords and factions present were all extremely ugly, Xu Jin fired the map cannon a little harder, and said that the ministers who opposed the dispatch of troops were all confused worms, or they had ulterior motives, and the hat was too big to crush people!

Liao Ji was shocked and angry, his beard trembled and shouted: "Xu Ziqian, Hugh is strong and reasonable, and blood is spewing people!" ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "I'm afraid that it is Liao Ge Lao who is arguing with strong words, or we might as well do a simple survey, choose a hundred people on the street at random, and ask them if they hate the Tatars and whether they support the Northern Expedition, if more than seventy percent of the people support, then it shows that Liao Ge Lao's so-called peace of mind of the people is nonsense at all." ”

Liao Ji was suddenly speechless, the people in the capital were poisoned by the Tartars only the year before last, not to mention the seventh, it is estimated that no one will not gnash their teeth at the Tartars, so knowing that Xu Jin is pleading, Liao Ji has no way to refute it, and in the end he can only snort coldly and does not answer.

Liao Ji's refutation meant that the first reason he listed was argued, so Xu Jin continued to say: "Liao Ge Lao's second reason is that the Tatars live in pursuit of water and grass, and they go south only to rob property, and they will leave after robbing, so they won't shake my Ming foundation?" ”

Liao Ji said coldly: "Isn't it?" What the Tartars are trying to go south is just property, and they have not replaced my Ming heart at all, and they don't have the strength. ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and said: "According to Liao Ge Lao's meaning, the robbers just ran to your house to loot, and by the way, they also kidnapped Liao Ge Lao's wife and daughter's favored concubines, but there is no dove to occupy the heart of the magpie's nest, is the government not to care?" ”

The ministers present couldn't help but gasp, and finally understood the sharp words of our grandfather of Jingguo!

Liao Ji's old face was swollen and red like purple, and he couldn't speak for a long time, angry!

Wu Wending, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't see it, and stood up and defended: "Lord Liao's meaning is not to ignore the Tartars, but to strengthen the border defense, and the field battle is not the director of my Ming army. ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Wu's words are wrong, although the Tatar cavalry is strong, it is not invincible, you don't see the surprise attack of the two thousand Shenji battalion the year before last to destroy Bansheng City, which turned the Tatar world upside down." It is true that my Ming soldiers are not as good as the Tatars, but we have the advantage of firearms, so why should we grow the morale of others and destroy our own prestige? What's more, offense is the most effective defense, and cowering and cowardly fighting and compromising will only make me more late. I think that if it weren't for Taizu Taizong's eloquence and strategy, he persevered in the Northern Expedition and finally eliminated the Northern Yuan regime, how could he have a stable life in the following decades. ”

Wu Wen is the secretary of the military department, whether to send troops to the Northern Expedition or not, his opinion is very important, plus the two have known each other for a long time, so Xu Jin is polite to him, his words are not so intense, he just wants to win him over as much as possible.

Wu Wending was not such a firm lord and faction, he was just worried that the war would affect the people's livelihood, and he had no intention of hindering Xu Jin's return to power, so he could still listen to Xu Jin's words, and at this time he felt that Xu Jin was reasonable, so he nodded subconsciously and retreated into the team.

Seeing this, Xu Jin perked up and continued: "Last year, I answered the army to besiege the capital, and broke the outer city, the situation was very dangerous, and it almost made me break the national ancestry, and Liao Ge Lao even said that the Tartars would not shake my Ming roots, just ask if this is not shaking the fundamentals, is it really necessary to destroy the country?" I replied that this person is ambitious, and now that he has unified the Tatars, he will inevitably pose a more serious threat to my Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

"What Xu Qing said is extremely true, I promise that if this person is not killed as soon as possible, he will become a big trouble!" Jiajing said in a deep voice.

Xia Yannai was a representative of the main battle faction, and immediately went out to echo and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and I must get rid of it as soon as possible." When the minister and the Yasukuni Duke were ordered to patrol the land in Zhizhejiang and Zhejiang, they came to attack on a large scale, and they knew that the greed and cruelty of the Japanese invaders, and the people along the coast were miserable. As said in Taishi Gong: Yidi is also a beast, afraid of power but not virtuous. Since the Yasukuni Gong swept away the Japanese with iron and blood, shocked the enemy's courage, and no one dared to commit it again, the plague that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years was eradicated, and the people were able to enjoy peace in peace. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, if you can eliminate the hidden danger of Tartary with the success of a battle, what if you can't do it? ”

Liao Ji snorted coldly and said: "It's just whimsical, the Japanese are just some stragglers, how can they be compared with the Tartars who come and go, not to mention that the Northern Expedition is not fighting at home, but going deep into the grassland, deep into the desert, how many years did Taizu fight?" How many years did Taizong (Zhu Di) fight? Taizong even went on several personal expeditions, which allowed him to eliminate the Northern Yuan regime, but the Warat and Tatar that were split from this still existed, and it was simply delusional to completely eliminate them. As this official said before, the Tartars come and go like the wind, and if they can't be defeated, they will flee to the depths of the desert, and after a while, they will make a comeback, and it is only in vain to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it is better to fortify the city and defend it. ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "It's just a matter of man-made, and what the predecessors couldn't do doesn't mean that the present can't do it." ”

Liao Ji sneered: "Does the Duke of Yasukuni mean that you are more clever than Taizu Taizong?" ”

Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Xu Jin doesn't dare, eliminating the hidden danger of Tatar does not mean that it is necessary to completely eliminate them, although Xu is not talented, he has the confidence to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatar for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Ignorant fanatics, grandstanding!" Jin Xianmin finally couldn't help but stand up and said abruptly: "Your Majesty, Xu Jin's son is so happy, for his own selfishness, he cares about the life and death of the people and soldiers, and bewitches the monarch to raise troops in the Northern Expedition, and his heart can be punished!" ”

Jin Shoufu finally went into battle shirtless, representing the final battle of this court discussion, but unfortunately, although Jin Xianmin aimed the spearhead at Xu Jin, it was Jiajing who wanted to be tough, not to mention him Jin Xianmin, even if he changed Yang Tinghe, he could only lose the fledgling Jiajing.

Xu Jin's eyes lowered, and he said calmly: "The old man of the Golden Pavilion wants to add a crime, why is there no excuse?" However, Xu Jin is not afraid of shadows, this heart can show the sun and the moon, but the old man of the Golden Pavilion dares to say clearly in front of the king, this time to prevent the Northern Expedition, there is no selfishness? ”

Since he has torn his face, Xu Jin is too lazy to give Jin Xianmin face, today, all the pedantic and decaying people who obstruct the Northern Expedition must be kicked away, and I must not be allowed to answer this Ming rival to have time to sit big.

Jin Xianmin's face changed, his obstruction of the Northern Expedition was naturally mixed with selfish elements, but in any case, he couldn't admit it, not only could he not admit it, but in order to prove his innocence, he had to show it!

I saw Jin Xianmin kneeling down in front of the throne and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the old minister is dedicated to the public, but he didn't expect to be slandered by the traitorous villain, so he resigned from his official position to prove his innocence, I hope the emperor will not be deceived by the traitor." If I send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time, it will inevitably bury the hard-won good situation of my Ming Dynasty, and I hope the emperor will think twice! "Bow your head and bow down!

Liao Ji also hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor thinks twice!" ”

Luo Qinshun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gritted his teeth, and also knelt down and shouted the three corpses of the emperor, and then knelt down more than a dozen people one after another!

Jin Xianmin's heart couldn't help but rise, because there were many fewer officials kneeling than he expected, only thirteen when he counted, and now there are more than fifty people in the hall, not even a quarter, which is really a bit shabby.

Originally, before the court meeting, the main peace faction was still the majority, but Jiajing's tough attitude made some of the main peace faction change their positions, such as the anti-water Yushi Cai Peng, in addition, Xu Jin's reasonable rebuttal also woke up some confused officials, such as Wu Wending, the secretary of the military department, and even Qin Jin, the secretary of the household department, was also a little shaken.

Jiajing was shocked at first when he saw Jin Xianmin's big move, but when he saw the number of officials kneeling, he suddenly turned surprised and said lightly: "Everyone, the Qing family is flat, I ask myself if I am not the lord of mediocrity, whether it is loyal or traitorous or can be distinguished, today's court meeting is to listen to everyone's suggestions, Jin Liaojia is also flat, I will not allow you to resign!" ”

Jin Xianmin just wanted to show his attitude and prove his innocence, and he didn't really want to resign, so the emperor gave it to the bottom of the stairs and accepted it, put on the black gauze hat again and stood up.
