Chapter 209 Court Discussion
Since the depressed scene of Xuanfu markets and the introduction of the capital, there have been endless disputes over this in the court.
But obviously, the focus of the dispute is no longer on Xuanfu Market.
From the beginning to the confidant of Li Xiu, who wanted to win Zhou Yuji, and then to the later stage, after realizing that Li Xiu's tentacles spread to the government, many court officials were vigilant about this situation and even caused trouble again for this.
There is no doubt that the dispute has spread to this day and has long since left a fixed track.
The main contradiction has turned into vigilance against Li Xiu's complete intervention in the government.
However, this kind of vigilance seems quite powerless now. The court is not alone, and everyone expresses their opinions, and it cannot cause any trouble to Li Xiu at all.
Even Li Xiu never ended, and these opposition voices were almost suppressed and excluded.
Facts have proved that under the pressure of power and the consideration of one's own interests, the distinction between civil and military is not so clear, and there are also many speculators.
Li Xiu just released a little kindness, and a large number of court officials rushed over, hoping to be the disciple.
In fact, for a country, this is obviously not a good phenomenon. After all, strictly speaking, although there are many court officials targeting Li Xiu, there are also many loyal people. And now there are many opportunists who are seeking tricks.
But now, compared to the overall situation, some sacrifices and filth are also necessary and inevitable.
But the court in the past few days is quite different from before.
In the past, when Li Xiu was determined to enter the court, he naturally never absent from the court discussion. Because of his existence and his position, these court officials who surrendered to him and the nobles he mastered also increased their combat effectiveness and showed their majesty in the court.
But in the past few days, Li Xiu disappeared again, and the court officials did not think too much. After all, it is normal for such a large number of military affairs to have no time to go to court.
However, except for Zhu Youjian, no one knew that a few days ago, taking advantage of a large-scale drill in the Jingying, the three cavalry battalions affiliated to the Jingying also took advantage of this opportunity to go to Xuanfu under the personal leadership of Li Xiu.
This news was not concealed for too long. In just a few days, the news from the checkpoints along the way arrived in the capital, and this immediately made the entire court boil.
For the court officials, they undoubtedly felt the helplessness that everything was beyond their control. The mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers did not leak a trace of the news. Even the court officials, they had to rely on the reports of local officials to know the military situation. This has to be said to be a huge irony.
However, this time, Zhu Youjian was obviously not going to give the court officials too many opportunities to react.
The court held an agreement on the day, and threw out a large amount of evidence reported by the Jinyiwei and Zhou Yuji, and the rebellion in Shaanxi, Mongolia knocked on the border, and the market was depressed. Everything was placed on the group of Shanxi merchants.
But these are obviously not the focus of courtiers.
Although Li Xiu's rise has been known to the loss of control of military power, and with the bloody storm of martial law in the capital during that period, the courtiers have obviously become absolutely sensitive to the movement of the army, especially the tens of thousands of troops, who have not received any news from the mobilization side of the bed, which is undoubtedly a bit terrible.
Of course, compared to these, what Li Xiu had to do when he left Beijing and lead his army to the Xuanfu was obviously more confusing.
But these are just preludes!
"Mongolian tribes are ambitious and have only a few battles, but they dare to knock on the border. I have sent Zhenbei Hou to lead the army to Xuanfu and lead the army, hoping to pacify the Mongolian grasslands in one battle and cut off the arm of the Later Jin!"
"I sent an order to order the army to be on guard against Dongjiang Town, Liao Town, if the Later Jin dared to send troops to Mongolia, I ordered the two towns of Liao Town, Dongjiang Town to attack them together!"
"I ordered the Beijing camp to be on guard, and took Rushan Bo Yan Shun as the general, led an army of 20,000 to drive to Liao Town!"
The sudden series of decrees completely made the entire court boil.
Everyone wanted to lead the army to leave Beijing. It was obvious that the war was about to begin, but no one expected that it would be such a battle of national destiny!
And all this, the courtiers did not receive any news in advance. It seemed that everything was ready and then they were notified routinely, but the fact seemed to be true!
"Your Majesty, now that Jingji is suffering, the internal troubles are not yet resolved, and the people in the world need to rest. It is really an unwise move to start such a big battle!"
"Your Majesty, the war is dangerous, and all dynasties have been extremely cautious. Your Majesty must not forget the lessons of Tumu Fort!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"Mongolian Tartars have always been ambitions and are good at everything. In this battle, we should attack Mongolian Tartars and reappear the power of our dynasty. Your Majesty is wise!"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is good at fighting. This time the army went on a war. Before the war began, you will be defeated before the battle. What is your intention? Your Majesty, I suspect that Li Huiguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is suspected of colluding with the enemy and stolen the country. Please give a clear explanation!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
For a moment, the court was also full of excitement, but the situation of uniting and coercing the emperor was gone forever.
Obviously, now, the emperor no longer needs to come to suppress the situation in person. The emperor only needs to, at the right time, to easily achieve what he thinks through the court.
"The disaster of the Later Jin Dynasty is deeply rooted. If this battle is successful, our dynasty can control Mongolia and watch the dispute between Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty, thus locking the Later Jin Tartars in the bitter and cold land in Liaodong..."
"I think this battle is acceptable!"
Finally, with Sun Chuanting's words, the reformists led by him joined, and the opposition voices in the court were completely suppressed.
"It's so good. This battle is particularly important for the Ministry of War. Sun Aiqing, you should urge the Liao Town Dongjiang. As for the money, grain and grass required by the army, all the money, grain and grass will be allocated by the treasury, and the Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the arrangement."
Zhu Youjian's final decision was made and this strategic plan was completely decided. Even if the opponents were unwilling to accept it, under the general trend of the court, they had to kneel down and bow to the ground and shout His Majesty's wiseness!
As the court debate ended, the decaying giant of the Ming Dynasty also moved his body with great difficulty with Zhu Youjian's will, slowly set his eyes on the Later Jin Jurchens who had caused the Ming Dynasty to fall into the sand many times.
The news of the war also ranged from the court to the capital, Shuntian Prefecture...
