When Xu Jin left Beijing in a carriage from Dongbianmen, the early dynasty in front of the Fengtian Temple was being held as usual, and Zhu Hou, the Jiajing Emperor, was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown, sitting on the throne, and two classes of civil and military ministers were separated under His Majesty Dan???? Huoran? Wen?? ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．?

Today's civil service team is headed by Fei Hong, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Yiqing, the first assistant, is sick at home and did not participate in the early dynasty.

It is said that because the descendants of King Anhua have not been purged, Yang Yiqing, who was responsible for the investigation of King Anhua, and the eunuch Zhang Yong were impeached, and Zhang Yong was one of the "Eight Tigers" in the inner court of the Zhengde Dynasty and did a lot of bad things, so he was chased and beaten by Zhang Zhang's party after turning out old accounts, and was finally imprisoned.

As for the first assistant Yang Yiqing, because of his high morality, he is fine for the time being, but he also consciously wrote a letter to ask for guilt and resigned as the first assistant to the cabinet, but it is estimated that Jiajing also realized that it was not a good thing for Zhang Zhang's party to be too powerful, so he did not allow Yang Yiqing's resignation.

At this time, the atmosphere of the court meeting was obviously a little tense, and Emperor Jiajing on the throne looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "At dawn today, Jing Dachu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, sent an urgent report of 800 li, and the Tartars suddenly attacked Xuanfu Town, with a force of no less than 30,000 people. ”

In fact, it is not a big deal for the Tartars to go south and knock on the pass, last year the Tartars sent troops to harass the border towns in various places as many as ten times, but the scale was not large, it was just a small fight, but this time the Tartars attacked the Xuanfu as many as tens of thousands, which is very abnormal.

As soon as Jiajing's voice ended, Xu Guangzuo, the oldest martial artist in Dingguo, walked out and said eloquently: "The emperor doesn't have to be too nervous, every autumn and winter, the Tartars will go south to knock on the pass and plunder, all they want is grain, tea, iron pots and other materials.

What's more, the Xuanfu soldiers are strong and strong, and the passes everywhere are solid, not to mention 30,000 Tartars, even 300,000 is not a cause for concern, the emperor only needs to order the guards along the way to strengthen their vigilance, and they will be safe! ”

Yan Song immediately went out and echoed: "Your Majesty, what Dingguo Gong said is very true, the Tartars are just predators and thieves, as long as the border guards will perform their duties, the Tartars will retreat if they are not eaten." ”

It is said that Yan Song, with the support of Zhang Xuan and other upstarts, has now replaced Xu Jin and been promoted to the left servant of the household department, which can be described as a spring breeze, so he is very active during this time, just like a peacock with the screen open, trying his best to show himself in front of Emperor Jiajing.

At this time, Xia Yan, a scholar of Hanlin Waiter, stood up and refuted loudly: "Yan Shilang's words are wrong, as the so-called careful sailing of the ship of ten thousand years, the Tartars attacked Xuanfu this time, with more than 30,000 troops, which is different from usual, and must not be taken lightly!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also thought that they should immediately transfer troops to assist in the defense of Xuanfu, and at the same time order the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army to be strictly guarded in case of accidents!" In the middle of the military department, Xu Jiezhi held the wat and went out of the way.

For a while, the court officials expressed their opinions, some thought that there was no need to make a big fuss, and some thought that they should be cautious and guarded, but just when the civil and military forces were arguing, two Jin Wuwei staggered in from the Zhaode Gate with a post guard, and went straight to His Majesty Dan in front of the Fengtian Gate.

The ministers of civil and military affairs, who were arguing, stopped and turned their heads to look at each other. I saw the post man who was carried by the two Jin Wuwei guards, sweating profusely, his chest rose and fell sharply like pulling a bellows, and he was carrying a special bamboo tube on his back, and two flags were inserted on the bamboo tube, and everyone recognized it as a sign of the urgency of the 800 military situation.

Emperor Jiajing on the throne frowned a few times, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart!

Sure enough, the post guard came to Dan Majesty with the support of two Jin Wuwei, landed on one knee with difficulty, and said loudly panting: "Urgent report, Bauhinia Pass ......"

As soon as the postman finished saying five words, he couldn't catch it in one breath, and he fell directly without knowing life and death!

Emperor Jiajing stood up suddenly, and there was a deathly silence in front of the Fengtian Palace, and all the civil and military ministers were shocked, because they all understood what it meant that the Bauhinia Pass was in an emergency!

At this time, the two Jin Wuwei hurriedly untied the bamboo tube carried by the post guard and handed it to the eunuch Bi Yun, who tore off the seal, took out the noodles in the bamboo tube and submitted it to Emperor Jiajing.

Jiajing hurriedly opened the military letter and looked at it, his face was instantly pale as a blank piece of paper, his hands trembled slightly, and he sat back on the throne in a distraction.

Jiajing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still a little trembling: "At dawn today, I will lead 100,000 horsemen to attack Bauhinia Pass, and Bauhinia Pass is in an emergency!" ”

Bang Peng......

It was like a thousand-pound boulder smashed into the calm lake from a height of 10,000 meters, instantly setting off stormy waves, and all the ministers were shocked!!

What is Bauhinia Pass?

That is the last gate to the capital, Bauhinia Pass was attacked by the Tartars, which means that Datong has fallen, once the Bauhinia Pass is breached, then the Tatars can kill the foot of the capital in half a day!

Fear!!!

Fear spread like a plague in the hearts of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and it felt like the cold winter moon fell into an ice cellar, chilling the heart and lungs.

Zhu Hou was also flustered at the moment, his mind was blank, although he had been in power for five years, but after all, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy, and now he heard that 100,000 Tatar iron horsemen had killed under his nose, how could he not be afraid?

"The emperor's situation is critical now, please immediately order the soldiers and horses of the five cities to close the city gate for martial law, and mobilize the forbidden army to enter the city to assist in the defense." Fei Hong came out awe-inspiringly.

Only then did Zhu Hou come back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Spread my will, immediately close the city gate, and order the forbidden troops of the capital camp to enter the city to assist in the defense." ”

Xia Yan stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to rush to the aid of the Bauhinia Pass, as long as the Bauhinia Pass can be held, the capital can turn the danger into a disaster, the Shenji Battalion is brave and good at fighting, and all the cavalry, the minister thinks that the Shenji Battalion should be sent to the aid of the Bauhinia Pass immediately!" ”

After all, Xia Yan was a Wenchen who had led troops to fight in Jiangnan, but he was relatively calm at the moment, and he hit the nail on the head.

Zhu Hou nodded when he heard this: "What Xia Aiqing said is extremely true, spread my will, order the Shenji Battalion to immediately send troops to aid Bauhinia Pass, order the Baoding General Army to rush to the aid of Bauhinia Pass, and order the general soldiers of each town to rush into Jingqin Wang ......"

As Emperor Jiajing issued orders one after another, messengers from all walks of life rushed out of the major gates of the capital.

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of the 100,000-strong army of the Tartars storming the Bauhinia Pass soon spread in the capital, and the whole city shook in an instant, and the people were panicked. The people who lived outside the city dragged their families and mouths and poured into the city like a tide, and the order fell into chaos.

The people who did not enter the city in time gathered outside the city gates, cursing and crying, and became a mess.
