Qin Lin thought for a moment, Huo stood up suddenly, patted Qi Jin, who was full of grievances, and said angrily: "Zeng Butang has his concerns, but the military situation is ever-changing, and the soldiers are fast, so I really can't afford to delay." Let's go to him, this official will definitely be able to ask for the ministry to send troops! ”

Qi Jin was overjoyed, took the reins of the horse from Niu Dali's hand, personally helped Qin Lin to ride on the jade lion in the night, and the group whipped away.

Iron Lion Hutong, once saved my private house.

When Shangshu of the military department sat in the study, his thick sword eyebrows were twisted into pimples, and he stared at the stack of thick kraft paper on the big bookcase with red border town documents, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.

Qi Jiguang spent ten years of painstaking efforts to train the new army in Jizhen, coupled with Zhang Juzheng's support, the Ministry of War dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals from all over the country, the household department raised grain, grass and silver, the Ministry of Industry rushed to build new guns, and the governor of Jiliao, the governor of Shuntian, and the local officials of the prefectures and counties stationed in the country worked together to finally train into a new army of 50,000 elites - among them, Qin Lin was indispensable to bring down the corrupt official Yang Zhao, and also offered the credit of Lu Mi gun and Thunder Gun.

It was also the season when the autumn high horse fat Hulu went south to knock on the pass, Tumen Khan and Dong Fox heard that Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of Jiangling, was returning to the sky, and they began to move, Qi Jiguang made corresponding arrangements and prepared to fight them to the death.

Zeng Xingwu has at hand, this Qi Jiguang's handwritten submission is very impassioned: "Fu Liaodong has been troubled for decades, the culprits are the little prince and Dong fox, and the little prince calls himself Tumen Khan, a descendant of Emperor Hu Yuan, holding the seal of the Mongolian Great Khan, which is the enemy of my Ming Dynasty...... The general officer of the army led the soldiers under his command, and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the descendants of Hu Yuan in the Gobi Desert, and he did not have to survive a hundred battles, but to serve the country and sacrifice his life! ”

To be accurate, or not to be allowed? In terms of the decisive battle on the battlefield alone, Qi Jiguang is invincible after a hundred battles, he has sharpened a sword for ten years, and this battle will be won and undefeated; It is a pity that the outcome of a war is never decided by the front-line soldiers alone...... The servant's report interrupted Zeng Xingwu's thoughts: Qin Lin and Qi Jin asked to see him.

"Please!" Zeng Xingwu's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out of the second gate, just in time to catch up with Qin Lin and his party who were in a hurry.

In a flash, Qin Lin saw the lingering worry in the eyes of this military department scholar, knowing that he was aware of Zhang Siwei's matter.

Zeng Xingwu glanced at Qin Lin, left Qi Jin and the others to sit in the outer living room, and invited Qin Lin into the back study.

"It seems that the move to find Chief Qin is the right one, and his friendship with Zeng Shangshu is very good!" Qi Jin thought beautifully.

Several generals of the same age also whispered, and everyone rubbed their hands, saying that there must be no problem in sending troops this time, and the army swept through Mobei, destroyed the tenth enemy of the Ming Dynasty, sealed the wolf Juxu, and established Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing, and Xu Da like the same feat, as if it was tomorrow.

Loyal and brave border soldiers, where do they know the ups and downs in the court? Where do you know that there is a deception in this Imperial City of Beijing? I have to say that their ideas are too naïve.

In the study, Qin Lin asked straight to the point: "Zeng Shangshu, have you noticed it?" ”

"That's right," Zeng Xingwu nodded with a bitter face, gritted his teeth and sighed: "The party struggle in the imperial court, one faction has always said that it is good, and the other faction has to argue three points if it is unreasonable, and the Jiangling Party has repeatedly proposed the movement, Yan Qing, Gu Xiancheng, Liu Tinglan and others must oppose it, but this time we proposed Zhang Siwei to take over as the first auxiliary scholar, and they did not refute it uncharacteristically......"

Zeng Xingwu, as the secretary of the military department, also has some power hidden in the shadows in his hands, although he has not found real news, but all kinds of clues are summarized, all pointing to the same conclusion, a terrifying conclusion.

"The big mistake has been made, and it's too late to regret it!" Zeng Xingwu shook his head and sighed, his gaze towards Qin Lin was filled with guilt.

Whew~~ Qin Lin let out a sigh, "Zeng Shangshu, the reason why you have not approved Qi Shuai's submission for a long time is this. But Qi Shuai's ten years of hard work can be ruined? Geng Dingli, the governor of Qiliao, is my person, and if the ministry goes down quickly, Qi Shuai will not have a chance, not to mention that with his ability to command the army, even if there is a change in the situation of the court, it will definitely not be a problem to protect the withdrawal of the army to the Guannei. ”

After that, Qin Lin looked at Zeng Xingwu eagerly, he had already analyzed the power very clearly, war, there is a possibility of destroying the enmity of a hundred generations, even if the situation of the dynasty changes, Qi Jiguang can also lead the troops to withdraw to the Guannei, this is a sure deal.

"Foolish brother, foolish brother......" Zeng Xingwu shook his head with a wry smile: "How can foolish brother not know that Qi Shuai uses soldiers like a god, and the battle will be won and undefeated?" But, but I'm worried about Qi Shuai himself! ”

When the situation in the court is so chaotic, Qi Jiguang is out of command of the army, and it is easy to be framed by political enemies, if the Jiangling Party cannot keep him as before, the end of this marshal may not be better than Hu Zongxian, or even worse.

Qin Lin was stunned, fully understood Zeng Xingwu's intentions, and let out a long sigh: "Zeng Shangshu, do you really think that Qi Shuai is far away in the border town and has no idea about the situation in the DPRK and China?" Why is he so eager to fight this time, go out and ask Qi Jin, and he will understand everything. ”

Zeng Xingwu's eyes widened, and then he walked out of the study without saying a word, and walked straight to the living room.

"Greetings to Zeng Butang!" Qi Jin and the generals knelt down to participate in the court, and when they saw that Zeng Xingwu was eager, they only said that it was Qin Lin who persuaded him to approve the battle, and everyone's faces showed joy.

"Qi Jin, stand up, I'll ask you," Zeng Xingwu helped Qi Jin up, and asked hurriedly: "What did your Qi Shuai explain to you in addition to the submission?" ”

Qi Jin scratched his scalp and replied: "He said that raising soldiers for a thousand years is a matter of using soldiers for a while, and we are deeply favored by the country, and we deserve to repay the country with death......"

Another general added: "The troops are about to be dispatched, and our marshal has sent a poem surname again, and has written a few lines of poetry on paper!" ”

"What poem?" Zeng Xingwu asked.

"One is that the marquis is not my will, I hope the sea is flat, and the other is that thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, the fire is burned if you are idle, you are not afraid of broken bones, and you must leave your innocence in the world," Qi Jin recited the poem and remembered it very clearly.

It turns out that he wants to learn from Shaobao! Zeng Shengwu's heart was shocked, and he stood for a long time before he sighed: "I look down on Qi Shuai, I am not as good as Qi Shuai...... Okay, this will send the next text, move the text to the three governors of Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Shuntian, Baoding, and Liaodong, if the enemy is coming, you will be allowed to counterattack in a big way, and then play the imperial court, and immediately ask for orders to send out the division, so that it will be more justifiable, and it will also be convenient for the general army to cooperate with the yamen, the prefectures and counties. ”

Qi Jin was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and got up happily.

Qin Lin also came over and added, "The performance should be as soon as possible, Zeng Shangshu, do you see if you can do it today?" ”

"I'll write it now!" Zeng Xingwu immediately instructed the servants to grind the ink and lay the paper.

Suddenly, Zeng Xingwu's brows furrowed: "Tomorrow is the period of the early dynasty, this piece may not be able to pass, if it is delayed, I am afraid it will ......."

"It's okay, the cabinet is looking for the elder Shen Ge, and I will go and talk to Zhang Hong, and I can complete the procedures for drafting, approving red, and making letters today!" Qin Lin said very firmly.

Zhang Hong knew in his heart who he should thank the most for being able to sit in the position of the boss and supervisor's palm print, and he must sell this face to Qin Lin.

"Good!" Zeng Xingwu looked at Qin Lin deeply, and quickly lowered his head and worked hard to write.

Qi Jin and his partners were stunned when they heard it, they looked at each other, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes, they all knew that Qin Taibao had a way, but he didn't expect that he could even get the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, and he was very righteous, this brother is really not staggered!

After Zeng Xingwu finished writing the chapter, he approved the ministry and wrote it to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and other places.

Qin Lin wrote a private letter to Geng Dingli, the governor of Jiliao, asking him to fully cooperate with Qi Jiguang in the battle, and then went to the celebrant to find Zhang Hong for help.

Zeng Xingwu's recital is written in a more obscure manner, on the surface it looks like a routine strict defense, defense is naturally indispensable to counterattack, it is impossible to be beaten passively, in fact, it implies that Qi Jiguang is allowed to send troops outside the fortress and fight to the death with the enemy.

The cabinet vote and the celebrant also followed this meaning, maybe Wanli didn't see it, maybe he was busy with other things, and his mind didn't pay attention to this, and the chapter was quickly approved.

Qin Lin asked Zhang Xiaoyang for help, and at dusk, the angel who delivered the decree had already left Deshengmen, escorted by Qi Jin and other soldiers, and rushed to the front line of Jizhen in the north.

The sound of horses' hooves, the autumn wind hunting, the afterglow of the setting stretched their figures very long, the yellow sand wore gold armor in a hundred battles, I don't know that after this battle, there will be a few people who will return victorious, and a few people will spill blood on the battlefield...... When Zeng Xingwu's concert was sent to the cabinet, the first assistant Zhang Siwei, the second assistant Shen Shixing, and the new third assistant Yu Youding were on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, so the concert was undoubtedly passed and successfully obtained the vote.

Shen Shixing picked up a book of music from the desk again, opened it and laughed disappreciatively: supervise the impeachment of the ten major crimes of the late Taishi Qiu Hu, the former chief assistant Zhang Juzheng, and ask the imperial court to pursue his official title and title, strictly investigate Zhang Juzheng's henchmen, get rid of the new policy of "cruelty and harm to the people", and restore the old system of the ancestors.

"Another one who wants to deceive the court staff," Shen Shixing shook his head and smiled, and picked up the pen and approved the four words at the bottom.

Although the emperor does not necessarily do things according to the ticket, but the celebrant sees that he does not send four words, he will generally put the chapter at the bottom, and the emperor can't read hundreds of copies, and the rest is sent back to the celebrant and thrown into the trash.

Yu Youding raised his head when he heard the sound, the Qingliu celebrities who wanted to deceive the court staff would never be cut off, but he didn't care, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Shen, in Xia Luo's thin wine, today we are drunk in the bad house, Wang Shangshu, Li Shangshu and these old friends will also come to the cold house." ”

He is a new cadre of the Gangneung Party, and he has prepared a banquet to invite the two seniors who entered the cabinet early.

Zhang Siwei frowned slightly: "Let's go first, the foolish brother is a little late, there are still more than twenty books here that have not been completed." ”

Shen Shixing is a good man, and it doesn't hurt to even say so much.

"What else do we have to talk about politeness? It's too late to be the master, and the three-pot Shangshu Li Youzi will definitely be starved to death first! Zhang Siwei laughed and made a joke, and strongly persuaded Yu Youding and Shen Shixing to go first.

"Brother Fengpan, let's go first and wait for you in the bad house!" Yu Youding arched his hand very enthusiastically and left with Shen Shixing.

As soon as the two front feet left, Zhang Siwei picked up the stack of chapters, flipped through Qiu Huan's copy, and without a moment's hesitation, he drew out the four words of Shen Shixing's proposed vote to stay in the middle and not send it, and wrote "Submit it to the court" again.

The celebrant and the old Zhang Hong slowly flipped through the recital handed over by the cabinet, and suddenly the faint old eyes opened extremely wide, his pupils became extremely large, and his hands trembled.

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng noticed the abnormal movement of the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, looked at each other, and at the same time cast a suspicious gaze.

Zhang Hong casually put Qiu Huan's recital at the bottom of a large stack of recitals, and said slowly: "I think this recital is misplaced, Hunan came to ask for disaster relief, and the household department should be sent directly, everything comes to trouble the saint, what is the use of the six parts of Jiuqing?" ”

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale lowered their heads again, and looked at their noses and noses without saying a word.

Cold sweat soaked out of Zhang Hong's back, and he complained secretly: Zhang Fengpan, Zhang Fengpan, what the hell are you doing? The impeachment of the late Taishi Zhang Juzheng and the ministers of the Jiangling Party, you actually erased Shen Shixing's stay in the middle and did not send it, and changed it to the court meeting, if you want to pretend to be high, don't come to such a hand!

This is the benefit of Qin Lin helping Zhang Hong, unlike Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng who only thinks about how to please Wanli, Zhang Hong is old and serious, and he understands the overall situation, so he has the action at this time.

The music was carried by the little eunuch to the Yangxin Palace, which was originally sent by the eunuch Bingbi, but Zhang Hongwu was not at ease and went with him.

Wanli sat on the throne behind the desk, one by one to look at the chapters, as the Ming Dynasty's Ninety-Five Supreme, he had to deal with a lot of government affairs, most of the chapters were just a cursory look, as usual according to the meaning of the vote to do, a few inappropriate, will be sent back to the cabinet to re-vote, a very small number of the most critical and most important, will put aside the vote, with the assistance of the master of ceremonies and supervisors.

If you have to do everything yourself, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is afraid that he will die of exhaustion after two or three years.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong finally put down his heart, Wanli is not abnormal, the book stuffed at the bottom should not be seen by him.

Who knew that Zhang Whale walked to Wanli's side silently, took out the book that Zhang Hong had just stuffed into from under the chapter, and presented it with a smile: "Emperor, please take a closer look at this book, what you said is a bit interesting." ”

Zhang Hong only felt a chuckle in his heart, and then looked at Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng's eyes with a clear sense of banter, it turned out that they had already seen through Zhang Hong's actions, and they did not expose it until this time.

Wanli's face remained unchanged, only the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and after receiving the concerto, he pretended to be surprised: "Hey, is it possible that Taishi Zhang is so unbearable?" Ming said that the court will meet and issue a civil and military court meeting! ”

Zhang Hong only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was at a loss: What is this Your Majesty going to do? Zhang Siwei, Zhang Whale, Qiu Hu, what do they want to do?
