At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 93 The Controversy Between Courts

On the first day of the orthodox 15th year, the sky is clear and the sun is rising.

Zhu Qizhen was wearing a black satin gown, embroidered with a golden dragon pattern, and wearing a crown hat, and carried all the officials to the sacrificial ceremony.

According to the procedures formulated by the Ministry of Rites, the monarchs and ministers went to the Tiandi Altar to worship the heaven and the earth, the Sheji Altar to worship the Sheji, the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and finally, a new addition this year, to worship the Martyrs Shrine.

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the souls are back!"

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, countless soldiers have died in battle, shrouded in horse leather, and I have built a martyr's shrine to enshrine the soldiers who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, all those who died fighting for the country will be enshrined in the shrine to enjoy the offerings of generations of descendants!"

"To this day, the remnant Yuan forces continue to attack and harass our border town of Daming, and the people are displaced and miserable."

"I've decided to conquer Mobei personally by the imperial driver!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

Except for a few insiders, most of the people were stunned.

Isn't it a sacrificial offering? Why is it that you have to conscript yourself when you are offering sacrifices?
For such a big event, I didn't say anything beforehand, so I didn't prepare myself at all.

Zhu Qizhen turned around and glanced around the group of officials, his eyes were sharp and he was not angry.

"All officials above the third rank and meritorious service above the earl, follow me to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters!"

In Fengtian Hall, the atmosphere was somewhat dignified.

Hu Ying, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to say: "I ask the emperor to put the country as the most important thing, and think twice about the Northern Expedition!"

Following behind him, there is a large group of censors and officials from the Six Departments.

In the last personal conquest, hundreds of thousands of elites were completely lost, and the emperor was trapped in the civil castle. If it weren't for the Jedi's counterattack later, the consequences would have been disastrous.

As the head of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu also looked confused.

It stands to reason that you should talk to me before you make a decision!

With such a sudden appearance, should I agree with it now, or should I oppose it?

At this time, King Zhu Qiyu stepped forward and said: "Hu Shangshu's words are wrong. At the beginning, the emperor was trapped in the fortress because of Wang Zhen's random command. But now, the southern counter-insurgency troops have returned to the army. My Ming army is strong and strong." Well, after Badaling repelled Oirat, the morale of the whole army was even higher, how can it be the same as before?"

Taining Hou Chenying also stood up and said, "That's right. Now that the national treasury is abundant and the logistics are sufficient, we only need to formulate a careful marching route, and we will definitely beat the shit out of Wala!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhen, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, Chen Huai, Bo of Pingxiang, Jingyuan, the Prince Consort, and Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, who had just returned to the division, also stood up in favor.

The nobles have prepared well this time and are united.

Seeing everyone's tacit understanding, Zhang Fu also made up his mind and said: "The old minister is willing to follow the emperor to conquer Mobei!"

The current situation is already obvious, the civil servants are against it, but Wu Xun is in favor.

Hu Ying glanced around and saw that Yu Qian hadn't made a statement, so he said, "Master Yu, please say something!"

I don't know why, since the emperor returned to Beijing, he has placed great trust in Qian.

Even when he was trapped in the Tumubao, he issued an edict ordering Yu Qian to lead the Beijing camp and guard the capital.

Now that Yu Qian has joined the cabinet, the weight of his words is even more unusual.

Under everyone's gaze, Yu Qian stepped forward slowly and bowed in salute.

"I think that you can't just sit back and watch Wala become powerful, you should attack him!"

hum!
The ministers suddenly became commotion, well, even Yu Qian, you big-eyed guy, betrayed the organization!

You are a civil servant, how can you speak for those generals?
Hu Ying couldn't help but said: "Yu Qian, the Northern Expedition is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. I would like to advise you, you must be cautious in what you say!"

"Hu Shangshu!" Yu Qian responded, "The next official has decided to follow the emperor himself!"

Hu Ying looked at Kuang Ye again, saying that it means your people, you tell me.

Kuang Ye was also in a difficult situation. The emperor wanted to conscript himself, and Xungui would definitely stand with the emperor. If the civil servants were united, they might be able to fight for it. But now that Yu Qian has also started to turn against him, it will be difficult.

What's more, now Yu Qian is not only the left servant of the Ministry of War, but also a cabinet scholar.

"If the emperor personally conquers Oala, our army will definitely go deep into the desert. First of all, we will lose the geographical advantage. The old minister suggested that this matter should be discussed in the long term."

"so what?"

Zhang Fu couldn't help but said: "At the time when Emperor Taizong made six expeditions to Mobei, all the remnant Yuan forces fled. At that time, who dared to invade the border of Ming Dynasty? Why is it that today, the Oala Tatars keep seizing customs and looting the people of border towns? They are the people on the grassland. Wolves, if you don’t beat them thoroughly, subdue them, and scare them, the people in the border town will never have peace!”

Seeing that the civil and military disputes were heating up, Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, finally stood up.

"Since the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and fled to Mobei, Da Ming has always regarded me as a deadly enemy for these years, and this battle is inevitable."

Hu Ying's face changed, and he was about to refute, but he heard Cao Nai continue: "However, the emperor is a man of gold, and it is not suitable to risk himself. I suggest choosing another commander, summoning troops and horses, collecting food and grass, and formulating a marching route." , slowly figure it out."

Cao Nai knew in his heart that the emperor's attitude was firm, and this battle would have to be fought sooner or later. What he could do now was to prevent the emperor's personal conquest.

At the beginning the emperor insisted on the personal conquest, it was mainly because of Wang Zhen's troubles, now that all the traitors are wiped out, the emperor should be able to listen to his persuasion.

Fighting a war is not a child's play, and all aspects need to be considered.

Moreover, Daming is not fighting with its back to the wall. If something goes wrong in this battle and the emperor is involved, it will be a big loss.

Cao Nai's words were all from the bottom of his heart, and he hoped that the emperor would listen to his persuasion rationally.

But this time, he was doomed to be disappointed.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time, and finally said: "You and others are worried, I really know it, but in the battle of Xuanfu and Datong, tens of thousands of heroic souls of the Ming Dynasty are watching me!"

"I have an unshirkable responsibility for their sacrifices. If I don't personally help them avenge their hatred, what face will I have to meet them, and what face will I have to meet my ancestors?"

"Now that our Ming soldiers are well-stocked, how can we not move forward because of unnecessary worries, causing countless border soldiers to sacrifice in vain?"

"I'm not afraid, why are you afraid?"

Having said that, the hall was completely silent.

Zhu Qizhen stood up, condescending, not arrogant.

"King Yi!"

Zhu Qiyu stepped forward: "The minister is here!"

"The prince is young, and the country depends on the elder. If I die in battle, you will be the next emperor of Ming Dynasty. Remember, if I am unfortunately captured, I don't need you to rescue me, and I don't need anyone to negotiate. I will settle the matter myself." !"

"Sir...Sir..."

Zhu Qiyu was so frightened that he knelt down, speaking incoherently, not knowing what to do.

"stand up!"

Zhu Qiyu's legs trembled, and he couldn't stand up after several attempts.

"You are a descendant of the Zhu family, and you have the blood of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, on your body. I want you to stand up!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth, put his hands on the ground, stood up, and said with firm eyes: "My brother is willing to fight for the emperor himself!"

"I am your elder brother, this kind of thing is not your turn."

But Zhu Qizhen shook his head, and said with a smile: "If my Northern Expedition fails, my brother, don't forget the heroic soul of the Ming Dynasty who died in the battle, and be a vigilant soldier to fight against disobedient ministers!"

"My brother... obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen continued to order: "Yu Qian!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to be the deputy commander of the Northern Expedition, and I will give you three months to gather the army and collect food and grass. Can the Qing family take on this important task?"

Yu Qian had already prepared: "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will fulfill my mission!"

"Jing'an County King!"

Zhang Fu hurried forward: "The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to stay in the capital and assist the king of the country to supervise the country."

But Zhang Fu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this old minister requests to go out with the Emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen said: "The Qing family is a veteran of the four dynasties. When the late emperor passed away early, he entrusted the Qing family to serve as assistant ministers. I also entrusted you with King Yi. The burden on the Qing family is not light."

Zhang Fu had no choice but to say: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and continued: "Hou Xiangcheng!"

Li Zhen stepped forward: "The minister is here!"

"In this Northern Expedition, with the [-] Battalion as the vanguard, we went to Yumuchuan to build a big camp, and cleared the obstacles on the grain road for the Chinese army."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ningyang Hou Chen Mao couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"

Zhu Qizhen said: "I have other arrangements for the Qing family."

Chen Mao was very happy, and said, "Please order, Your Majesty."

"I took the initiative to attack Mobei, and Wala must first mobilize troops from various places. I will give you 3 troops. After the troops in the Hami area are withdrawn, the Qing family will lead troops to raid Hami and form a corner with the Suzhou Guard to further compress Oala's sphere of influence."

Chen Mao looked excited, bowed and said: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Seeing this, Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Don't go."

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!"

Shi Pu was unwilling, and argued: "Although the minister is a civil servant, he leads troops to fight, and he will not lose to those generals, Marquis Ningyang, don't you think so?"

Chen Mao pouted, but did not answer.

Shi Pu became anxious, pulled Chen Mao's clothes and said, "You should say something!"

"okay!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You stay in the capital and supervise the production of new firearms. These firearms are my secret weapons, which are directly related to the direction of the battle and are very important."

Only then did Shi Pu nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, the old minister will explain the big and small affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and from today on, he will focus on the manufacture of firearms."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at the officials again, and said: "From now on, all officials, big and small, from the six ministries and nine ministers will fully cooperate with Yu Qian in preparing for the Northern Expedition. If there is negligence, he will be punished as a bully!"

All the officials knelt down and said, "I will obey the order!"

After the court was over, Zhu Qizhen turned around and went to the imperial study.

Jin Ying followed Zhu Qizhen, and said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, my ancestral system, the internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics, but I don't know how many words the slaves have..."

"Say!"

"Yes!"

Jin Ying settled down, and then said cautiously: "The Northern Expedition is a military secret. Today in the court hall, the emperor said a lot of details. In case there are spies from Wala among the courtiers..."

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are very thoughtful."

"The emperor's praise, the servant girl is just...just..."

"Okay, I know you mean well."

Zhu Qizhen put away the smile on his face, and said: "Secret Xuan Juesheng Guard Commander Yang Zhicong enters the palace!"

　After 20 words, it is finally on the shelves, but there are a lot of things to do today, so I will write a chapter first, and then finish it in the evening!
