Because the reinforcements are coming, the traitors have to be removed, and now the morale of both the army and the people in Beijing is very strong, which is reflected in the court meeting, and it is manifested in the fact that the ministers continue to have people to offer advice to the Son of Heaven, although these statements may not be reasonable, but compared to the moment when the army was newly defeated, the confidence of the court is much more sufficient.

Today's situation is also average, and at the beginning of the meeting, several officials came forward to put forward some so-called proposals. Zhu Qiyu, who had just become the emperor not long ago, also seemed very humble at this time, listened carefully to their stories, and nodded in agreement from time to time, it seems that the atmosphere is really good.

For most civil officials, they are much more comfortable now than they were in the days of the orthodox emperors before. At that time, every thing he said had to be considered, and he was afraid that he would offend Wang Zhen and his henchmen because of this, so he had no worries about this now. If the border troubles weren't there, they thought it would be good to be like this all the time.

However, these officials did not notice that the two commanders of the military department standing in the front of the ministers and in the middle were worried at this time, looking worried.

Yesterday, after receiving the bad news that the Bauhinia Pass was broken, Lu Zhen hurriedly reported to Yu Qian. Then the two of them decided to enter the palace at the same time to report the matter, but by then the sky had already darkened, the palace gate was closed, and it was obviously a little difficult to pass on the news.

And then, Yu Qian also thought that doing so would inevitably cause the news to spread rapidly, which would cause panic in the city again - to be honest, the loss of Bauhinia Pass was no less than the impact of the previous defeat on the Ming Dynasty, especially for Beijing City, a loss of the pass ahead would inevitably expose the entire capital to the other party's fast horse scimitar. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, they finally put it down for the time being, planning to play it alone after this morning.

But the worries in the hearts of the two of them could not be concealed, and they also showed some uncertainty in the early court. Fortunately, everyone else was only interested in expressing their own suggestions, and did not pay attention to their looks.

After a few officials said something, suddenly an official of the Ministry of Rites also stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

"Quasi-play." Although I don't know what suggestions the Ministry of Rites can put forward now, Zhu Qiyu still nodded in response.

"Just today, the Ministry of Rites received a letter from the Mongolian people in the north, asking the imperial court to pay 300,000 taels of silver to redeem the emperor's ......."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of angry shouts from his colleagues around him: "How can this be reasonable, these Tartars are also too deceitful!" Really, don't you dare to crusade against them? ”

"That's it! Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no compensation for money, and Your Majesty must not agree to this rude request! ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, now those Mongolian people are at the end of their crossbows, and they can't threaten the safety of my Ming Dynasty, and they don't want to withdraw so easily, so they used such a despicable means to extort money. In fact, our border army can take the opportunity to send troops to attack it, and maybe it can reverse the decline! ”

These courtiers were full of emotion, and they also made the Son of Heaven feel excited. Originally, he was really a little moved, after all, his imperial brother was still in the hands of the other party, if the court did not allocate silver taels and caused him to suffer, how could he bear it?

But now, that idea has changed. Because he can't afford to be said by later generations that he is weak, Zhu Jiazi

Sun didn't compromise and back down! Even, he felt that maybe this was really an opportunity for Daming to turn defeat into victory, maybe the other party's arrogant army would be defeated, and it would leave a chance for Daming.

Thinking of this, his eyes were aimed at Yu Qian, who was standing not far in front of him, talking about military affairs, talking about intimacy, at this time he trusted the two courtiers of the military department the most. What surprised him a little was that Yu Qian looked worried at this time, and he didn't look impassioned at all.

"Yu Qing, what do you think about this?" Seeing that Yu Qian had not reacted, the emperor finally asked directly.

As soon as these words came out, the voices of everyone in the court were also closed, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Yu Butang, waiting for him to give an answer.

After this incident, everyone has accepted the fact that Yu Qian is already a confidant of the Son of Heaven. Who made him make the first contribution, and indeed survived the crisis and saved the situation that was about to collapse? So for him, most people are still convinced, and they are willing to listen to what he has to say.

Being asked by the Son of Heaven like this, Yu Qian's face obviously showed a trace of entanglement, and then he said: "I think that now is not the time to fight back lightly." I was newly defeated, and the elite were all lost in the civil fort, and it would be too difficult to break the enemy again. ”

"Lord Yu, your words are a bit ambitious. In the past, my Ming Dynasty was defeated, more because of improper command and treacherous politics. Now that Wang Zhen's party has been completely uprooted, with the rich experience of the border army officers and soldiers, it may not be difficult to break the enemy in our own land of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes, Yu Mintang, the imperial court really needs a victory to calm the people's hearts, and this may be the best opportunity. Once they are allowed to retreat, there will be endless troubles. ”

Everyone, every word you and I said, all of them showed their eagerness to take revenge. Seeing this, Lu Zhen was a little surprised, hadn't they always been against taking the initiative to send troops before, why did they become so radical today when they had lost in the past?

In fact, half of this is because everyone wants to show their loyalty in front of the new Son of Heaven, and at the same time, because they feel that this is indeed an opportunity. The sudden deterrence of the new victories can easily give the impression that they are lacking in succession. Only Lu Jin, who knew what was ahead, knew how wrong their judgment was.

"Yu Qing ......" Zhu Qiyu also had the intention of thirsting for war at this time, and he also wanted to come up with this evil breath.

Yu Qian sighed lightly, knowing that some things were still put on the table, otherwise it would only bring everyone a wrong judgment, which would affect the court situation. After taking a breath, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, and I hope that Your Majesty and all the adults can calm down." ”

"Huh? But what is it? Looking at his solemn appearance, Zhu Qiyu didn't feel a little nervous, and the other courtiers also stopped talking, looking at this colleague with a serious expression, waiting for what he said.

"Just yesterday evening, a scout from the north desperately sent a military newspaper, and there was only one thing written on it, that is, the Bauhinia Pass has been broken by the Meng, and the soldiers guarding the pass have descended from the garrison Sun Xiang, and thousands of people have sacrificed their lives for the country!" Yu Qian slowly said this astonishing news in an extremely painful voice.

Suddenly, the entire hall was silent, and the needles could be heard. Everyone froze there for a moment, and then looked at each other

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There were flashes of disbelief and panic in his eyes, and many people's expressions collapsed in an instant.

And Zhu Qiyu also opened his mouth slightly, and his face was full of disbelief for a long time before he said, "Yu Qing...... Are you telling the truth? Looking at the look in his eyes, it was obvious that he would rather hope that the other party would tell him that it was a lie.

It's a pity that no one would tell such a lie in front of the Son of Heaven, and Yu Qian would not do it. At this time, he had already taken out the battle report from his sleeve and held it high above his head: "Your Majesty, this is the battle report that Sun Xiang ordered someone to send back to the capital before he died, and please look at it." ”

But at this time, the emperor didn't have any reaction, and the eunuchs around him were all standing there blankly at this time, forgetting to step forward to take the battle report. When he came back to his senses and motioned for the people around him to step forward, there was already a commotion among the ministers in front of him.

"Is this old man really going to kill me......

"Daming is in danger, I am in danger in Beijing!"

"Your Majesty, the imperial court must investigate that Sun Xiang's guilt, the Bauhinia Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is dozens of times the enemy, it is not easy to break. But now, he didn't have time to go to the court to ask for help earlier, and he was broken by the enemy, and there must be another reason for this. Maybe it's this Sun Xiang who is afraid of war and death, which is why he lost Bauhinia Pass! ”……

Maybe it was because of fear, or maybe it was because Zhu Qiyu, the emperor, had just ascended the throne after all, and he didn't have much prestige to speak of, so the ministers at this time actually shouted and shouted regardless of the rules of the court, and in a gossipy, the whole hall was already buzzing, looking chaotic, and they couldn't even hear what they said.

This is actually the result of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in Tumubao and the loss of the elite. At this time, staying in the DPRK, there was almost no chance to be alone in the past, and his ability and heart were far from the ability of Mount Tai to collapse in front and not change his color, and it was completely chaotic at this time.

The situation of the Son of Heaven was not much better, and at this time he had already lost his sense of proportion, sitting there at a loss, taking the battle report handed by the eunuch and only scanning it twice, he couldn't stand it.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Everyone, please calm down! Yu Qian spoke again at this time and shouted: "The day hasn't fallen yet, and my Ming Dynasty won't die because of this!" ”

Lu Zhen also helped shout at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, the city of Beijing is strong, and the soldiers and horses of King Qin of other provinces are about to arrive, we have enough power to protect ourselves, and I hope you don't panic!" ”

This is also the reason why the two of them dare not say things easily. Even these courtiers were so flustered after hearing this letter, not to mention the common people. I'm afraid that as soon as this news spreads, the entire capital will fall into chaos.

Finally, the ministers finally settled down and stopped talking nonsense. It's just that their faces are full of panic at this time, and they obviously have no confidence in what Lu Zhen said. Even a pass like Bauhinia Pass can be easily broken by the other party, so can Beijing City really be able to hold it?

At that time, a man in his forties, with a pale face, suddenly walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, at that moment, the minister thinks that it is not safe to continue to stay in Beijing. Last night, the minister had closed the heavens at night and found that Wang Qi had signs of returning to the south, which may be reflected in this matter. Why don't you move the capital and return to Nanjing! ”
