The news that Zhang Fengyi led the army to evacuate Dengzhou and rush to Xuanzhou made Zhu Youzhen furious.

Zhu Youzhen, who almost lost his mind, was ready to make a move, from this matter, he saw the danger, he could conclude that this was Su Tiancheng's idea and request, otherwise Zhang Fengyi would not easily evacuate Dengzhou, from Zhang Fengyi's twists and turns, Zhu Youzhen knew that the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou and other places reached 20,000 soldiers.

When the danger signal came, Zhu Youzhen forgot that Da Ming was fighting against the Houjin Tartars. Thinking about it, he didn't know which aspect of Lu Dao to start with, if he directly issued a holy decree and reprimanded Su Tian for becoming a rebel, it was obviously inappropriate, but he sat back and ignored it, which did not meet his requirements, so he asked the cabinet to discuss and come up with a way to deal with it.

Yang Sichang lowered his head, he didn't speak, looking at the emperor walking around, Yang Sichang's heart was bitter, what to plant and what to get, at such a critical moment, the emperor made an irrational decision, and the consequences were finally revealed, and the rest of the cabinet ministers lowered their heads and did not speak.

In fact, the opinions of the cabinet are not unified, but no one dares to say that at this critical moment, Su Tiancheng will be liquidated, after all, the army has accumulated in Liaodong, and it is about to fight a decisive battle with the Houjin Tartars.

Zhu Youzhen, who had been wandering around for a long time, calmed down a little.

Zhu Youzhen, who was red-eyed, looked at many cabinet ministers and spoke.

"Zhang Fengyi withdrew from Dengzhou without authorization, although there are unavoidable reasons, but this behavior is unforgivable, I must not give in, you Aiqing have any good suggestions."

No one spoke to this question. The cabinet has already discussed it, and it can't come up with any good solutions.

Zhu Youzhen was angry again.

"You are all my humerus, at such a critical moment, why can't you think of a way, do you want me to go to Dengzhou in person, seeing that a greater danger is approaching. But I can't think of a way, what do I want you to do? ”

The emperor said such words, Yang Sichang couldn't bear it, according to the general situation, there are unsolvable problems in the court, or major problems, and the cabinet chief assistant must take responsibility, or ask for guilt, or resign.

"Your Majesty. This is all the incompetence of the minister, and the minister asked to resign from the post of first assistant to the cabinet. ”

Zhu Youzhen had already thought of Yang Sichang's answer.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youzhen is angry, the cabinet always thinks of Liaodong and Houjin Tartar, but he didn't expect that Su Tiancheng's power is growing stronger and stronger, and he has the action and meaning of fighting against the imperial court, and he may overthrow the imperial court one day. At such a critical moment, no measures are taken. After all, the Houjin Tartars sent an envoy to the imperial court to negotiate peace, but the big deal is not to destroy the Houjin Tartar for the time being, and the imperial court also sent an envoy to maintain the peace agreement for the time being. In order to free up his hands and deal with Su Tiancheng specifically.

Houjin Tartar has always been the biggest threat to the imperial court, which Zhu Youzhen knows very well, when Houjin Tartar and Liukou plundered at the same time, in Zhu Youzhen's opinion. The wanton plundering of the rogues is a civil strife, and the harassment of the Houjin Tartars is the biggest threat to the imperial court, and now the situation has changed, and Su Tiancheng's danger is even greater than that of the Houjin Tartars.

But Zhu Youzhen can't say such a thought, even if he is the emperor, after all, Su Tiancheng has not yet spoken about rebellion, and he is still leading the army to fight in Liaodong, preparing for a decisive battle with the Houjin Tartars, which makes the court have no reason to liquidate, and it cannot be liquidated.

Zhu Youzhen knows very well that the position of Liaodong is too important, in case of liquidating Su Tiancheng at this time, people will fight back and attack the Jingshi from Shanhaiguan, Daming will be dangerous, from Shanhaiguan to the capital, Pingchuan, there is no barrier to rely on, besides, the armies around Daming will not be able to compete with the Jiangning battalion at all.

But Zhu Youzhen felt uncomfortable, he had to find a way to stop everything Su Tiancheng had done.

"Yang Aiqing, don't say such words, when I need to employ people, all Aiqing must work together, if the ministers of the DPRK and China are all with your attitude, is it possible that I have to deal with it alone, is it possible that I want to come to Liaodong in person, is it possible that I want to bow down to Su Tiancheng."

What the emperor said was very tactful, but such words, to the ears of Yang Sichang and others, were tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, Yang Sichang couldn't help it, and knelt down, and the rest of the cabinet ministers also knelt down.

In desperation, Yang Sichang finally spoke, he didn't want to speak, in fact, in this battle related to fate, his heart is complicated, who wins and who loses is still ambiguous, but the deep-rooted idea of imperial power affects his final choice.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Su is on a crusade in Liaodong, and at such an important moment, discuss other matters......

"Don't say it, is this the opinion of the cabinet?"

Zhu Youzhen interrupted Yang Sichang's words, and he already knew what the cabinet meant, it was nothing more than to adopt a policy of Huai Rou, still appease Su Tiancheng, and still let Su Tiancheng lead the troops to fight with the Houjin Tartars.

It was very quiet in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and no one continued to speak.

Zhu Youzhen looked at everyone and finally said his thoughts.

"I have thought about it, the fight between my Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Tartars originated from the establishment of the crown prince candidate by Huang Taiji, and now I think about it, the Houjin did not deny the negotiation opinion, and still wanted to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, surrender to the imperial court, I look at the real problem, or appear within my Ming Dynasty, if someone wants to rely on the threat of the Houjin Tartars, strengthen their own strength, and blackmail the imperial court, this is the real rebellion, is the biggest danger."

The emperor said this, Yang Sichang's heart was cold, he vaguely knew that the emperor's thoughts, in fact, when the cabinet was discussing, some people also put forward such a view, which was resolutely denied by Yang Sichang, the ambition of the Houjin Tartars has always existed, and it must be completely eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles, besides, the places occupied by the Houjin Tartars are all the territories of the Daimyo, and there are emperors and crown princes, what else to do, the purpose of the people is very clear, the next thing is to attack the Ming Dynasty, and gradually encroach on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Finally overthrew the Ming court.

As for Su Tiancheng's approach, from Yang Sichang's point of view, some places are understandable, people are killing the enemy in front and bleeding, and they are suffering from plots in the back, who can endure such things.

If the emperor wants to make peace with the Houjin Tartars again, I am afraid that the Emperor Taiji of the Houjin will be eager to make peace, and even if he makes peace with the Houjin Tartars, can he guarantee that there will be no internal problems, and no one can guarantee it.

Of course, Yang Sichang is the first assistant of the cabinet, and everything still has to be considered by the emperor and the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the Houjin Tartars were treacherous, not worth believing at all, the previous negotiations were just a delaying tactic, and now I Ming exterminated the Houjin Tartars, and achieved a major victory, this momentum can not be stopped, the minister understands the emperor's worries, but the minister thinks that the Jiangning battalion and the Houjin Tartars fight, it is not so easy to do, the battle of Gaizhou, the minister from the battle report, the Jiangning battalion lost nearly 10,000 people, the minister suggested, the emperor may wish to let the Su adults continue to lead the army to conquer, as for the rest of my Ming army, Except for the Liaodong Border Army and the Datong Border Army, the rest did not participate in this expedition. ”

Yang Sichang's meaning is very clear, let the Jiangning Battalion and the Houjin Tartars lose both, and in the end, even if the Houjin Tartars are exterminated, the losses of the Jiangning Battalion are also heavy, and they are unable to do anything else, and at that time, the emperor and the court can do whatever they want, and it is logical.

Zhu Youzhen's face was a little better, the method that Yang Sichang said used to be his main way to deal with it, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that this method should still be used.

The battle in Liaodong can continue, but the adjustment in the imperial court, Zhu Youzhen is unwilling to delay.

"What Yang Aiqing said is that after the conquest, the battle of the Golden Tartars cannot be stopped, but the court needs to be adjusted, I see that the King of Jin is unwell, so I don't want to do anything for the time being, I propose Zhou Yanru to serve as the second assistant of the cabinet, the right imperial envoy Huang Daozhou, the military department Shangshu Lu Shanji, the official department squire Xu Eryi and others, they are all old, I can't bear them to continue to work hard, and they are all Zhishi, Zhou Yanru is also the secretary of the military department, and the servant of the ministry is Fang Fengnian, and he is the servant of the ministry......"

The emperor still couldn't help but do it, this is Yang Sichang's feeling, if he is allowed to say more, he must stop the emperor from doing this, the more it is like this, the more he can't be in a hurry, he must calm down, the adjustment within the court, what is the reason, everyone can see it clearly, Huang Daozhou, Lu Shanji and Xu Eryi are all the most closely related to Su Tiancheng, and there was Liu Zongzhou before, who has already made such an adjustment, and the contradiction is clearly placed.

But Yang Sichang can't say much, the emperor is already very face-saving by doing this, if it is really according to the previous plan, the Ming court will continue to make peace with the Houjin Tartars, and will never liquidate Su Tiancheng, that is the biggest problem.

After Zhu Youzhen finished his order, he left the Heart Cultivation Palace directly and went to the harem, which is also a rare situation, and he didn't even wait for Yang Sichang and the others to kneel down, which shows that Zhu Youzhen was very angry in his heart.

When Yang Sichang withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, there was no expression on his face, Zhou Yanru, the former head assistant of the cabinet, returned to the cabinet again and became the second assistant of the cabinet, how to work together is a difficult problem, at the same time, the adjustment of the imperial court must have an impact on Su Tiancheng who was in front of the expedition, and it is unknown what the consequences of this influence will be.

Yang Sichang suddenly felt that the emperor's actions would leave a huge disaster for the imperial court. (To be continued......)
