Daming Junior Scholar

He Jiaan didn't say a word for a long time, but Cao Yuan got a little impatient to wait, glared at He Jiaan, and asked bluntly: "I just want to ask you, if what I said is right, you just nod your head, if what I said is wrong, How about you just shake your head?"

This method is very good, the matter is guessed by Cao Yuan, not what he said personally, even if the emperor blames him, he can still push the matter to Cao Yuan.

Seeing He Jiaan nodded, Cao Yuan paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Is he doing it for the Franc cannon?"

Hey, I didn't expect the old guy to be right, a smile appeared on He Jia'an's face, he didn't nod or shake his head, but asked in a low voice: "Why did Master Cao say that?"

"Hmph, it's not easy." Just from the expression on He Jiaan's face, Cao Yuan knew that he must have guessed right, and he smiled disdainfully: "Don't you look at how much King Ning has been jumping around in recent years?" Duo Huan, the papers against him flew to the capital like snowflakes, even people like me who have nothing to do with it can hear about it, not to mention those Jinyiwei and Dali Temple, but the strange thing is that they all know it here It is clear, but the emperor has never heard of it, and even allowed King Ning to expand the guards around him, it would be strange if there were no ghosts in it."

He Jia'an didn't know why Cao Yuan said these things to him. Even if he wanted to say such things, he should have talked with the kind of brother who lived and died. Once it was revealed, it would be a fatal disaster.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan asked puzzledly: "Since Mr. Cao knows so clearly, why didn't he remind the emperor?"

"Do you really think I'm stupid?" Cao Yuan glared at He Jia'an with a disdainful look on his face: "The emperor has so many eyes that he doesn't tell this matter, so why should I talk too much? I want to see, this Ning What kind of medicine is sold in Wang Gourd?"

It seems that I am not the only discerning person in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, not only Cao Yuan, I am afraid there are more people who can perceive the tricks in it, but for various reasons, no one has given any insight to this matter. Ming, He Jiaan couldn't help feeling a little vigilant in his heart. It seems that King Ning's tentacles may have already reached into the capital.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the living room, and before Cao Yuan could speak, someone shouted outside: "My lord, there is an order from the Lord Long Live to announce that you will enter the palace immediately."

Uh?

What are you doing in the palace at this time?

Cao Yuan and He Jia'an looked at each other suspiciously, and they both saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes. If someone is called into the palace at this time, something big might happen.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Since the Long Live Lord has called, Mr. Cao should enter the palace right away, and I will take my leave now."

Cao Yuan nodded, but said with a serious face: "Master He, you should go out with me first, and ask the eunuch who was summoned, maybe you are also among the people who were called."

This is also a matter of certainty. He Jiaan nodded, and immediately left the mansion with Cao Yuan. After asking outside, it was true. After this little eunuch left Cao's mansion, he was going to the He family. Catch it right away.

He Jiaan asked Tang Yan to go back and tell Chen Yueying, and he took Tang Lin and the others straight to the palace. As soon as he opened the door of the carriage, Cao Yuan got in. After entering the carriage, he looked at the extremely luxurious In the carriage, with a look of surprise on his face: "I really didn't realize that Mr. He's carriage is so comfortable. Since you have this kind of treasure, why don't you know how to let Shangguan experience it first? How about this one? The carriage was requisitioned by this official, and as for how much money it costs, you can count the number."

He Jiaan shook his head with a wry smile: "Where is Mr. Cao, as long as Mrs. Cao recommends that perfume to others, so what if this carriage is regarded as a filial piety for you."

"Well, that's a human thing." Cao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The carriage was speeding, and the sound of two people talking could be faintly heard in the carriage.

"Brother He, what do you think His Majesty called us into the palace this time?"

"Your official can't guess, what does Mr. Cao think?"

"I'm afraid there is another military disaster somewhere."

"In normal times, the lower official would definitely flatter Mr. Cao first, and wish you a prophecy, but this time, the lower official would rather Mr. Cao just farted."

"Hahaha." If He Jiaan's vulgar words suddenly came out, Cao Yuan would burst into laughter: "Brother He is right, if you are a big Chinese New Year person, just treat me as a fart."

It's just that when the two came to the imperial study room Zhengde, there were already many ministers in the room, and everyone looked at the two with a straight face, which made them panic. After passing Zhengde, Cao Yuan asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what is your order to come to us in such a hurry?"

Zhengde glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and said slowly: "The two lovers came at the right time. Just an hour ago, I just received the military report from the Xuanfu that the little prince of Tatar commanded [-] troops and marched into our army." The Xuan Mansion has destroyed twenty forts in a row and killed thousands of our soldiers and civilians. The Xuan Mansion commanded Zhu Chun, commanded Wang Tang and others to die for the country."

what?

When Cao Yuan and He Jiaan heard the news, they were immediately dumbfounded. Now Cao Yuan could not wait to slap himself hard. What he said was not good, he had to say it was a military disaster. What should I do?You can't let yourself, the minister of the Ministry of war, go out in person, can you?

Zhengde's eyes turned around on Cao Yuan, and his eyes swept over the people in the room one by one, but he suddenly stood up, looked at the front sternly, and said loudly: "I have already decided, this time I will drive you Conquer personally, and save the people of the Xuan Mansion from the fire and water."

Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268

"Your Majesty must not."

As soon as he heard that Zhengde wanted to go to the Royal Conquest again, those ministers who were still like clay bodhisattvas in the imperial study room immediately came to life and waved their hands again and again. The last time they sent troops to Datong, they almost fell there. What a childish temper.

Regarding the objections of these people, Zhengde did not have any surprised expressions. His disdainful eyes swept over these ministers one by one, and he snorted coldly in his nose: "Why not? Isn't Xuanfu my country? Xuanfu's." The people are not my people? What is wrong with going to my own country to save my own people?"

Although the words are correct, but in such a cold day, it is an extremely risky thing to rashly lead troops into the Xuanfu. As the chief assistant of the dynasty, Yang Tinghe naturally stood up first, cupping his hands to persuade: "Your Majesty, send troops It is a big matter, this matter needs to be discussed before a decision can be made, the troops led by the little prince are no more than [-], and the Xuan Mansion alone has [-] troops who can fight, I believe it can last for a while."

"Hmph." Zhengde was a little dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe's words. After all, he still refused to let him lead the army to go out. He just gave himself such a mighty title. If he didn't use it once, wouldn't he be too unwilling.

Blinking his eyes, Zhengde's eyes suddenly fell on He Jia'an, and he pointed with his own hand: "He Aiqing, tell me, should I personally go to the conquest this time?"

How could He Jia'an think that so many high-ranking officials and scholars in the room would point at him all of a sudden, and he didn't look panicked. After standing up, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this time it's not the imperial conquest. good time."

"Huh...?" Zhengde's voice rose from low to high, and anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.

On the other hand, He Jiaan did not show any panic, and continued with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to prevent His Majesty from sending troops, but there are three reasons."

"Tell me." Zhengde showed curiosity.

"First, it's just around the corner of the new year. If His Majesty goes out in person, he will be accompanied by a large army. The manpower, horses, and chariots needed will not be prepared in time. When everything is ready, I am afraid that the Lantern Festival will be over past."

"This..." After thinking about it, Zhengde also felt that what He Jiaan said was quite reasonable. He remembered that the last time he sent troops to Datong, he had prepared for about a month. Now it has only been allowed for half a month, which is already very fast.

Nodding his head, Zhengde continued to ask, "What about the second one?"

"Secondly, has Your Majesty ever thought about why this little prince would suddenly invade our Ming border at this juncture?"

"This..." Zhengde simply shook his head.

"According to what I saw, the little prince came here with such great fanfare. The so-called only wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's preparations for the New Year and had no time to worry about him, so he wanted to stay in the Xuan Mansion to take advantage of it. If His Majesty's army arrives in person, , I am afraid that the little prince would have already fled far away at that time, how could he have the guts to fight against His Majesty in person."

"When the time comes, Your Majesty mobilizes the troops to arrive at the Xuan Mansion, but you won't even see a single shadow of the enemy. Wouldn't it be very disappointing?"

"Well, that makes sense." Zhengde nodded again.

"Thirdly, at this time, it is freezing cold, and the little prince leads an army on an expedition. He will definitely not bring too much food and grass. As long as our army sends an elite soldier to hide in the dark to harass them, I believe it will not be long before the little prince's army It’s bound to break itself.”

After He Jiaan raised these three points, Zhengde immediately stopped clamoring to go out in person. After all, if he brought an army all the way to Xuanfu, but didn't even see the enemy, it would be a serious blow to his prestige. The blow, but He Jiaan's so-called elite soldier policy gave himself a reminder, after thinking about it, he quickly asked: "Then according to He Aiqing's words, who should lead this elite army?"

According to He Jiaan's original intention, he wanted the Xuan Mansion to send out an elite army to harass the little prince in the rear. As for who is the leader of the army, it doesn't really matter, as long as he can be familiar with the terrain around the Xuan Mansion, He Jiaan is going to propose himself. When he was thinking about it, Yang Tinghe on the other side suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since this plan was proposed by Mr. He, it would be best for Mr. He to personally lead the army to meet it." .”

Hearing this, He Jia'an's eyes straightened immediately, looking at Yang Ting and that resolute old face, he wished he could kick him over, this old boy is really too bad, this old New Year's day actually let him go to Xuanfu and his party .

"This..." Hearing Yang Tinghe's words, Zhengde hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that Yang Tinghe's words were somewhat reasonable, he thought it would be difficult for him to transfer He Jia'an to the Xuanfu for the Chinese New Year. After all, he still has It is really inseparable from discussing trade with Francois.

So, after thinking about it, Zhengde took the initiative and shook his head: "Yang Aiqing's words are reasonable, but He Aiqing is still in charge of the trade and cannot leave, so it's better to find someone else."

Yang Tinghe seemed unwilling to transfer He Jiaan away, and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, Mr. He also said just now that going to the Xuan Mansion is just to disturb the little prince's food road. It is convenient for him to retreat, and it is useless even if he thinks about it." How long will it take, it will take less than ten days, I believe it will be too late to talk about trade when we come back."

Well, this old boy must send himself to the Xuanfu.

He Jiaan cursed inwardly, but with a slight smile on his face, he said slightly mockingly: "Master Yang said lightly, since His Majesty can't go to the Xuan Mansion, why not let Master Yang take his place instead?"

This is very clear, didn't you let me go to the Xuanfu to fight, then I will take you with me, as long as you can't say it, then you have a reason to say it.
