From childhood to adulthood, Nurhachi didn't dare to disobey Li Rusong's intentions, he didn't dare when he was young, and he didn't dare now.

Standing beside Li Rusong, who was as strong as an ox, Nurhachi couldn't even get a little bit of the momentum of the Ming Dragon and Tiger General and the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe.

Li Rusong's order is a holy decree for him, which is more effective than the will of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately in the misfortune, this time, he was protected by Li Rusong again, and the Haixi Nuzhen would never dare to invade the Jianzhou Jurchen when he entered the customs to fight, and he believed this.

After all, in the past few years, Li Rusong has been doing things everywhere in the southern and northern wars, and the entire Jurchen tribe and Mongolian tribe near Liaodong are about to numb him.

20,000 cavalry were prepared, dry food and equipment were ready, roaring out, galloping all the way, from the order to arrive in Beijing City, he only took half a month, on the afternoon of the 23rd arrived in Beijing City, after dinner, the military department issued an order, ordering Li Rusong's troops to urgently support Bauhinia Pass overnight.

Because Bauhinia Pass has already asked for help twice in a row.

As a result, that night, just a quarter of an hour after the order of the Ministry of War was issued, before the generals under Li Rusong arrived for a meeting, the emperor's warrant suddenly came from the palace-

Li Rusong's cavalry was ordered to set up camp on the spot, strictly guarding the camp and not leaving without authorization, and the food and drink should be provided by the imperial court, and Li Rusong was allowed to go home to visit his relatives in the city.

This imperial order, which ran counter to the orders of the Ministry of War, made Li Rusong very entangled, according to the rules of the past, the instructions of the Ministry of War were the most formal, and the generals needed to obey the orders of the Ministry of War when they were outside.

However, in the end, the emperor is nominally the supreme commander of the whole army, and from the perspective of righteousness, the whole army must obey the emperor's orders and take the emperor's orders as the supreme order, even if it is the military department, it is also issued in the name of the emperor.

But now that the Ministry of War and the Emperor's Order have issued two diametrically opposed orders, how should Li Rusong deal with it?

He hurriedly wrote to the military department to inquire about this matter, and the next morning he went into the city to rush to the military headquarters to inquire about the situation, and he was already impatient to rescue his father.

But at this moment, the military department is also quite puzzled, for so many years, although the emperor has his own opinions in the war, and has also issued orders, but those orders have also been informed by the military department, and do not interfere with the front-line battle situation, or before the start of the war, there is no actual command order.

This time, Li Rusong's order to send troops to support Bauhinia Pass immediately after arriving in the capital was also notified to the emperor by the Ministry of War, and the emperor's permission was obtained.

In the current situation, the military action was still based on the emperor's will, and the officials all shut up, nervously worried that the Mongols would kill them when they came to the capital.

However, the emperor issued an urgent warrant a quarter of an hour after the military department was written, ordering Li Rusong not to advance and set up camp on the spot, without any other explanation or consultation with anyone, which made the ministers who were urgently busy with the war feel very incomprehensible.

Now the emperor should not be unaware of the situation, Datong has basically fallen, the Pingxing Pass has been broken, the Bauhinia Pass is in an emergency, the Ming Dynasty has suffered heavy losses, and even Wutai in Shanxi has fallen, and Taiyuan seems to have become the target of the Mongols.

The Yanmen Pass guard will die in battle, the Pingxing Pass guard will die in battle, the Shanxi General Dong Yikui will die in battle, several senior military attaches will be killed in battle, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be slaughtered, and the people will be even more miserable, the Mongols will play very big this time, and the Ming Dynasty is very dangerous!

Zhao Zhigao and Shangshu Shixing of the Ministry of War rushed to the palace overnight, trying to ask the emperor's opinion, and got the news that the emperor had fallen asleep and would talk about something tomorrow.

Zhao Zhigao and Shi Xing were puzzled, why did the emperor order Li Rusong's elite cavalry not to go to support the precarious Bauhinia Pass?

But the emperor just didn't say anything.

Li Rusong didn't sleep all night with dark circles under his eyes, and rushed into Beijing at dawn the next day, going to the military department to ask for an explanation, Shi Xing also didn't sleep all night, and with a dark circle under his eyes, he was going to wait for the emperor to wake up and go to the emperor to ask for an explanation.

At this time, the news that the emperor did not allow Li Rusong to march into the army also spread and reached the ears of many civil ministers and officials, and these people were suddenly not calm-

This time the Mongols also threatened their lives, they were very concerned about this, they wanted Li Rusong to immediately send troops to drive the Mongols away, so that they could continue the political struggle with peace of mind, but now Li Rusong's soldiers and horses are in the capital but do not advance, is the emperor going to fight a battle to defend the capital?

All kinds of speculations are varied, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, Zhao Zhigao and Shi Xing took Li Rusong to enter the palace again the next morning to inquire about the news, Zhu Yijun met with the three of them, and comforted the anxious Li Rusong with kind words, and then said that Li Rusong does not need to enter the army for the time being, Zijing Pass is not so dangerous, and he has his own arrangements.

The emperor is not in a hurry, he looks like he is holding a victory in his hand, this appearance makes Zhao Zhigao and Shi Xingwan puzzled, and it also makes Li Rusong and the second monk puzzled, but the emperor is not in a hurry, even if they want to be in a hurry, it is useless, without the emperor's order, he Li Rusong really dares to resist the decree and attack?

Then he will be taken down and killed in a minute.

The authority of the central government of the Ming Dynasty is still full, not to mention the generals who do not obey orders.

The ministers did not dare to disagree with the emperor, because the emperor himself was in danger, and there was no reason to give an idiot-like order, so it could only be said that the emperor really had other arrangements, but as for what the emperor's arrangements were, they really didn't know, and they didn't dare to imagine.

The emperor wouldn't have been in tandem with the Mongols to trap himself, would he?

If the Bauhinia Pass is really over, the emperor is responsible.

Li Rusong could only spend four difficult days in the torment, early in the morning of the 30th, he really couldn't help it, and went into the city again to ask the military department when he would be able to send troops, at the same time, the military department was also very anxious, these days there were constantly civil officials to ask when the emperor would send troops, and then even Wuxun came a lot, asking when to send troops.

This is really a realistic version of the emperor not being in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry...... But are these people eunuchs?

Shi Xing and Zhao Zhigao were tired of coping, but the emperor was always perfunctory, Li Rusong drank seven bowls of tea in the military department, went to the toilet three times, and didn't get a single quasi-word, so anxious that he was about to explode, and then the military department suddenly made a noise and panic, Li Rusong didn't know what the situation was, and suddenly heard someone shouting-

"Xiao Zhennan has arrived in the capital! also brought soldiers and horses, and as soon as he came, he was recruited to the palace by His Majesty! ”

Li Rusong frowned.

Xiao Zhennan? Who is it?

Surname Xiao? Zhennan?

Oh! It seems that Xiao Ruxun is the Marquis of Zhennan, who is guarding the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty in Burma......

Isn't Xiao Zhennan him?

Li Rusong's eyes widened suddenly.
