In the main hall of the palace, hundreds of officials came here early in the morning to discuss matters.

There is still only one theme of the so-called deliberations, and that is the question of who will lead the army to the battle of Warat.

At yesterday's court, Xu Youzhen, the young secretary of Taichang Temple, recommended that Yang Chendong, the loyal marquis, lead the army, but Zhu Qiyu did not agree in the court, but gave the ministers a day. By the time we start this morning, this issue has become the first thing to be addressed.

Just last night, there was a battle report from the front line, Wu Qing Bo Shiheng, who was the commander and chief soldier, retreated in the direction of Datong with less than 30,000 defeated troops.

In other words, in seven days at the slowest and four days at the fastest, the enemy army will come to the front of the Jingshi, and if the Jingshi is still unprepared, then wait to be breached, and everyone will wait to be captured or killed.

The situation is so grim that the leader must be decided. After Jin Ying announced the news he got last night in front of all the courtiers, there were panicked people, uneasy people, and pale faces in the entire court.

Civil officials use their mouths, and military attaches use swords.

In times of peace, all rituals and laws come first, and the truth is important. Naturally, a situation of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force will be formed.

However, once an emergency situation is encountered, reason naturally does not make sense, and reasoning with the enemy is tantamount to admonishing the tiger in the mountains to eat vegetarian food, which is ridiculous, and it is simply a person into the tiger's mouth.

Seeing that a major war was inevitable, the civilian-bureaucratic clique naturally closed its mouth, and on the contrary, it even showed a look of fear and fear, talking eloquently about the past and talking about the past.

Who is not afraid of death? Under the successive defeats, the Warat army has caused a huge pressure on the heads of the ministers, which can really be described as talking about the change of color.

In such a situation, even if there is a recommended candidate, of course, everyone will not hesitate to praise it. At the moment, Shangshu Yiming of the Ministry of War proposed that Yang Chendong, the loyal Marquis, lead the troops, this new Shangshu was really a little afraid, afraid that in the absence of a suitable candidate, Daizong would let him lead the troops to fight, if that was the case, what was the difference between sending him to death?

With the leadership of the military department, the other courtiers followed suit, and at this moment, there was a dead horse as a live horse doctor. And not only the ministers, but also Hu Hu, Hu Changning, and his son, who had opposing views yesterday, are also among the courtiers who support them at this moment. They not only supported Yang Chendong leading the army, but also demanded that it be given great power and heavy power, and said that if the military power could not be unified, countless variables might appear on the battlefield.

Obviously, when the Hu Mansion returned to the door yesterday, Yang Chendong's words were said to have moved the Hu family and his son, and they would have such a change today.

The ministers almost all supported Yang Chendong, and Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, knew that the general trend could not be changed, so he ordered someone to go to Yang Chendong to listen to the order. At this moment, the newly enthroned emperor had clearly made up his mind.

In Yangjiazhuang, Yang Chendong wore a black gauze hat, a regimental collar shirt, a python-shaped pattern printed on the chest complement, and a belt around his waist.

Hu Yan, Qiaoyin, Xue Niangzi, Xiang Niangzi and Yang Duo were pointing and pointing on the side, covering their mouths with their hands and chuckling from time to time, obviously this Yang Chendong, who looked so dignified, was the first time they had met.

"That, isn't there something wrong with that?" Seeing that the eyes of the five girls were so curious and changeable, Yang Chendong finally couldn't help but ask if there was something wrong.

"No, that's good. I used to see my grandfather and father dressed like this when I went to court.,It's just that I didn't expect Rokuro to have this day.,It's just curious.。 Hu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head, wanting to pretend to be a serious review, but no matter how she looked at it, she was smiling and couldn't hide it.

If you want to say that there is really no problem with Yang Chendong's dress, you can only blame him for his young age, and he is dressed so formally before he is twenty years old, which gives the women a feeling that they can laugh if they are too solemn.

"Is there really anything wrong with that?" Yang Chendong asked with some disbelief, his eyes scanned over the women one by one, obviously not believing what Hu Yan said just now.

"No problem." Seeing Yang Chendong's disbelief, Seventh Sister Yang Duo stood up, "It's just that because you don't wear court clothes, everyone is not used to it." ”

"Yes, I'm not used to it either, forget it, I won't wear it, come, take it off for the young master." Yang Chendong also felt awkward after wearing these, so he simply decided to abandon them. As he spoke, he really took off the courtier.

Qiaoyin stepped forward to help, with a question, "Rokuro, do you really want to take it off?" Didn't you say that the emperor would send a decree to invite you to the palace in a while? ”

"It's right to enter the palace, who stipulates that you must wear court clothes to enter the palace? It's so awkward, it's better not to wear it. Yang Chendong shook his head with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that he didn't have the idea of being a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so why did he still abide by their rules. As I said, if I can't even do this bit of mastery, I don't have any freedom, then it's too pitiful.

After taking off his court clothes and changing into a green coat again, Yang Chendong felt extremely comfortable, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, it's more important to not do anything yourself." You also remember, unless it's a major occasion, you can wear it as you want to wear it, you can come as comfortable as you want, life is just a few decades, don't be too bitter yourself. ”

As soon as he changed back into a new Tsing Yi here, the eunuch who passed the word came outside Yangjiazhuang, and asked the loyal Marquis to enter the palace immediately, and the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for him.

Hu Mang had already brought the prepared healthy horses, Yang Chendong turned over neatly, waved his hand to the women behind him very chicly, and then went straight to the Beijing Division under the protection of Hu Mang and Qiu Wu, the first guard.

Seeing her husband leave, and when she couldn't see a shadow, Hu Yan put on a big sister's appearance and turned around to look at the three daughters of Qiaoyin and said, "Liulang is gone, according to his instructions last night, we must also act immediately." In this way, the second sister Qiaoyin stayed in Yangjiazhuang to preside over the overall situation, and the third sister Xue Niangzi and the fourth sister Xiang Niangzi went to Jingshi, but all cheap real estate and fields were bought, and they were truthfully registered. ”

"Listen to the big sister." Qiaoyin, Shao Yuxue, and Dong Hanxiang hurriedly agreed. Yang Duo and the girl were left behind, watching everyone start to get busy, with a look of envy. At this time, her thinking is also changing, and women are no longer women who only know how to teach husbands and children, and go deep into the boudoir, they can actually do a lot of things.

Above the court, the ministers have been standing here for a long time. Some of the more anxious courtiers even looked out of the hall more than once, as if they were waiting for something.

In anticipation of the ministers, a typical male duck voice of a eunuch sounded, "The loyal and courageous marquis will go to the palace to see you." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." When the ministers heard the shout, they hurriedly straightened their clothes and stood in place. Even Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, subconsciously arranged a dragon robe, and looked out of the hall with blazing eyes.

In the expectation of everyone, Yang Chendong, who was dressed in green clothes, strode to the Jinluan Palace.

The last time I came to the Jinluan Palace, it was the second day after I first entered the Beijing Division, and I beat Wang Gou and beat the Dengwen drum to enjoy the treatment. Compared with before, there is less tension and apprehension in this reappearance.

The imperial court has long stipulated that you must wear the corresponding official uniform to enter the temple, but at this time, Yang Chendong entered the court in green clothes, but no one said anything, even the imperial historians who usually like to pick bones in eggs don't seem to have seen it.

"Minister Yang Chendong greets the emperor, my emperor Wan..." As soon as Yang Chendong entered the hall, he bowed and knelt down when he came to a place more than ten steps away from the throne.

After letting Yang Chendong kneel down in front of him, Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's get up and speak." ”

"Your Majesty." Although I don't like this kneeling ceremony very much, in front of the hundred officials, above this court, some etiquette cannot be abolished. After agreeing, Yang Chendong slowly stood up, and when he stood up, he was already standing there like a javelin, giving people a feeling that I was not moving because of the southeast and northwest winds.

Hu Changning, who was standing among the ministers, had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had some kung fu in his hands. At this moment, when he saw Yang Chendong's performance, he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, his son-in-law seems to be a practitioner, and his strength should not be weak, but why didn't he find out before?

Yang Chendong stood in place, Zhu Qiyu, who didn't know anything about kung fu, naturally couldn't see Yang Chendong's reality and reality, but he just felt that he was very energetic when he stood there.

"Loyal Marquis, I announced that you entered the palace this time, I guess you also know what is going on, right? Now that the army of Warat is threatening the capital division, and the ministers have elected you to lead the army, I also believe in the loyal and courageous marquis, but I don't know if you are willing to do your duty for the country? Worried about the king's share? "Although Jin Ying had already been sent to Yang Chendong to discuss privately. But at this moment, the procedure that should be followed still needs to be followed.

"The minister is willing to do his duty for the country, share worries for the king, and do all his efforts for the peace and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty." Anyone can say beautiful things, and at this moment, Yang Chendong also came to a perfect monarch and minister.

"Good!" Hearing Yang Chendong's promise so happily, Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed, "Loyal and courageous Hou listened to the seal, and named him the hussar general (Zheng Erpin), leading the title of Zuodu Governor of the Five Armies of the Beijing Division, commanding the military affairs of the Beijing Division, and controlling the soldiers and horses of the whole city." ”

Even if it is to be reused, and at this critical time, the promotion of the official to the next level is naturally a matter of the question, as for the control of the whole city's soldiers and horses, this is naturally also because the military situation is urgent, and the matter is urgent, and the power has to be given at this moment. Zhu Qiyu is clear in his heart, this is a major event related to the battle of life and death, of course, he can't be sloppy.
