The expressions of the civil and military officials instantly became wonderful, a seemingly simple matter, the opinions of the first and second leaders of the military department are diametrically opposed, and the doorway inside is not simple.

Under normal circumstances, in the political and ecological environment of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is a contradiction between the second-in-command and the first-in-command, it will never be revealed in a formal occasion, and the strength will only be made in the dark. On such an occasion as the Great Dynasty Meeting, face-to-face scolding each other, whether it is scolding people or being scolded, it is the end of "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred", unless the party that is in trouble intends to die together, otherwise such a scene rarely occurs.

Chen Xinjia's cold hair stood up, this Zhai Xiaoqi was ostensibly discussing different strategies for sending troops, but in essence, he was openly dissing his boss, which was a very dangerous signal. If you can't suppress the other party's opinion, it will be tantamount to announcing to everyone: Your freshly baked military secretary can't convince the public, and you can't even defend the yamen. Then a series of chain reactions will appear, people who covet the position of the soldier or can't get used to their rocket-like promotion speed will jump out, impeach this time The decision to appoint the secretary of the military department is wrong, and then the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and cats and dogs will stand up and fall into the ground.

Although with the support of the Marquis of Pingnan, the position of this Shangshu should be kept, but a prestige-swept Shangshu gives orders, will the people from the Yamen of the Ministry of War still listen?

No, that must not be allowed to happen. Chen Xinjia gritted his teeth and took a step forward, arching his hand and said: "Your Majesty, less than a month has passed since the disaster of rebellion, and the alarm bell should ring for a long time, and the mistakes of the past should not be repeated." Leaving the Qiong Navy to guard the capital is responsible for His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. And Ningyuan is Wu Sangui's station, he is more familiar with the local terrain than anyone else, and the local people also rely on the protection of the Guanning army. ”

Wen Tiren made a look, and Liu Ming was listed in the military department to support Chen Xinjia's point of view.

"Your Majesty clearly sees that Jingshi has experienced such a catastrophe, and he really can't bear it a second time, and the strategy of this soldier is Lao Cheng's serious words, and the minister thinks it is more secure, and Zhai Shilang's plan is too risky......"

As an ally, Tang Shiji, the imperial history of the left capital, also had the responsibility to stand up in time.

The minister also believed that the Guan Ning army should be sent back to aid Ningyuan, and let the Qiong navy sit in the capital division. The Qiong Navy is a southern soldier, without any preparation, and if he rashly goes to a bitter cold place like Liaodong, his combat strength will be greatly reduced, and this arrangement is really unwise. ”

The military department gave a head start to the imperial history of the middle and left capitals, and it was reasonable, and many ministers also stood up and supported this point of view. After all, the danger of the Tartars is far away in Liaodong, and the stability of the defense of the Beijing division is related to their own safety, of course, they must take care of themselves first.

Zhu Cihong's face was a little unsightly, he naturally agreed with the views of Zhai Xiaoqi, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, but there were many ministers who held opposing views, and there were many heavyweights among them, and the reasons were very sufficient, so he didn't have much confidence to refute it.

Seeing that Chen Xinjia's plan to suppress his deputy was about to succeed, at this time, a person who had not expected everyone stood up and reversed things back to the track that Zhu Cihong was expecting.

"The minister is willing to be loyal to the court, whether to go to Ningyuan to meet the enemy is up to Your Majesty."

It's actually Xia Nan himself?

Including Zhu Cihong, the people on both sides were stunned, wasn't the wind of this court discussion favorable to him, why did he stand up and support the other party instead? Wen Tiren, Chen Xinjia and others were confused, which one was this Pingnanhou singing, why didn't he play according to the routine?

Zhu Cihong reacted quickly, he couldn't understand why the other party was like this for a while, but instinctively felt that this was a very good opportunity, and excitedly patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said loudly: "Okay!" The Marquis of Pingnan is worried about the country and the people, and he is willing to share his worries for me, and I am very pleased. The war in Liaodong is urgent, time waits for no one, since Pingnanhou took the initiative to ask for help, then please transfer troops and send troops within three days, how about it? ”

Wen Tiren was a little anxious, he didn't understand Xia Nan's thoughts more than Zhu Cihong, but he knew that if he was led by the nose and transferred Qiong Haijun away, then the political pattern of the capital might change a lot. After all, the current political advantage of his own side is obtained by the deterrent power of the Qiong Navy, without the support of this army, when the time comes, it will be a cold stove for people to burn the emperor - after all, Zhu Cihong is a prince with strong roots, and the name of righteousness is on his side - after the strength of the other is lost, it will be very difficult to control the government. This is the emperor's plan! As long as the south enters the urn in the summer, it will be difficult to turn the situation around.

He decided to save the situation, and as for Xia Nan's ideological work, it was not too late to wait until the next dynasty to do it slowly. So he personally stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know much about the war, but the ceremony of conferring the title of the Duke and the Great General is just around the corner, what if the Marquis of Pingnan leaves, what if the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for the ceremony for so long?" The imperial court edict is not child's play! ”

Zhu Cihong made a deep groan, and then said: "What Wen Aiqing said is also reasonable, but the border war is tight, and it cannot be delayed...... In this way, let the army go first, and leave Xia Aiqing to participate in the ceremony before leaving, how about it? ”

Wen Tiren blurted out: "Then how can it be done, the army has no commander, it is like a shell without a soul, how can it fight with the Tartars?" ”

Zhu Cihong made a look of surprise: "I have long heard of the Qiong Navy's idea of governing the army, there are several generals in the army who each lead an army, responsible for marching and fighting, and there are adjutant generals, thousand generals, and officers at the general level who control the team, in an orderly and orderly manner, even if the Marquis of Pingnan is in person, he will not overstep his bounds, and specifically command how to arrange the troops." Could it be that in the eyes of the elder pavilion, without Pingnanhou, the Qiong Navy would not be able to fight? ”

Xia Nan didn't know which tendon was wrong today, and he didn't have the domineering spirit to control the general trend of the court before, but readily agreed to all of Zhu Cihong's proposals.

"Your Majesty's arrangement is very thoughtful, so in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions, the minister will first send a large army to Ningyuan, and it will not be too late to leave after attending the ceremony."

Wen Tiren and Chen Xinjia invariably increased their foreheads with their hands, and sighed in their hearts: How can Pingnanhou be smart all his life, but he is confused for a while? Anyone can see that there is something greasy in this, and it is clear that the emperor is using the hand of the Tartars to consume the strength of the Qiong Navy, why can't Pingnanhou see it? Now is the time to consolidate the good situation, and at the critical moment, the trump card in his hand is sent, isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall? The soldiers are gone, leaving a bare-bones commander behind, who will be afraid of you?
