The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

In the palace, Jiajing and the cabinet are also discussing.

"Why is there no news from Yan Aiqing?" Jiajing hasn't slept well these days and is still anxious.

Although Wang Huya took out the ancestral training and gave him the confidence to straighten his waist, but confidence alone is not enough, and strength must be used to speak.

In all fairness, although Ming's national strength is rejuvenated compared to the past, it will still suffer from a full-scale war with the Mongols at this time.

The reason is that it takes time to convert national power into military power, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has not opened the sea yet, and no external wealth has flowed in. It is just that a small part of the wealth that was originally concentrated in the rich merchants and landlords has flowed into the court.

Yang Bo's eyes were also red.As the old man in charge of the military, he stayed up for several days and nights, rearranged the military defense line, especially strengthened the guards of Beijing and Tianjin, absolutely can not repeat the embarrassing defeat of Jiajing for 20 years, then he, the old man, had to take the blame and resign.

Several cabinet members also have panda eyes and tired foreheads.

There is no way, the Mongolian soldiers are pressing down on the border, and Daming has too many things to do at this time, so he can't slack off.

Only the prince and Xu Jie are leisurely and leisurely watching from the sidelines.

At this time, they are in a smooth situation, advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with them, but they can rectify Yan Song without any effort.

This time, it is definitely a catastrophe for Yan Song, if he can't make it through, he will fall down, and he will never stand up again.

"Yan Shoufu, there was news yesterday that there was progress in solving the case and they were tracking the traces of the murderer. They went to the northern border of Ming Dynasty." Zhang Bi told Jiajing.

"What?" Jiajing, the crown prince and the elders were all shocked.

"Northern border? There are only our country's frontier troops and the Mongols there. Who did it?" Xu Zan asked in surprise.

"Mongols, kill your own people? Impossible?" Xu Jie said: "Then there is only one possibility, that is, someone from our Daming frontier army acted without authorization or was instructed by others to commit such a huge case." 〃!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Jiajing finally changed color.

What he was most afraid of was that the case was indeed done by insiders of Daming.After all, Ming and Mongolia have fought for 200 years, and too many people don't want to see the relationship between Ming and Mongolia ease.Especially within the army, no matter whether it is public or private, or in the interests of the army itself, they absolutely do not want Ming to reconcile with Mongolia.

Jiajing knew very well that many Zhuang faction officers in the army were deeply dissatisfied with allowing Mongolia to enter the Tianjin mutual market, and some frontier troops might even mutiny.

There is no way, the empire is too big, and there are all kinds of ideas.

However, things seem to be going in the worst direction.

Once it is proved that the Ming Frontier Army committed the case privately, things will be difficult.

What about Daming?

Hand over these border troops?Issued by the Mongols?

Not to mention whether the morale of the army would be low because of this, giving the Mongols a chance to attack, even out of the pride of Emperor Jiajing Daming, he would not allow him to do so.

In this way, what do the people, scholars, government and opposition think of him?

But if it is not given, there will be war.

The efforts made before the Ming Dynasty will be ruined once.

"Conquering the world is difficult, defending the world is even more difficult." Jiajing sighed to the prince: "My Ming Dynasty really has a lot of fate."

The prince took no time to lay down maggots on Yan Song again: "Father, my son is willing to bear the blame alone, and asks Yan Song to step down and be responsible for this matter. Even if Yan Song has nothing to do with this matter, with the spirit of a scholar who sacrifices his life for righteousness and puts the world first, he You should also make sacrifices. Afterwards, even a few years later, wouldn’t it be all right if you recover Yan Song again?”

Jiajing shook his head irritably and remained silent.

The crown prince stopped talking, but he looked at Xu Jie with satisfaction.

He knew that his father was an impatient person, as long as he persevered, sooner or later he would give up Yan Song because these annoying things would delay his cultivation too much.

Only the loss of a chief assistant did not cause much damage to Daming's prestige, but it was enough to satisfy Mongolia.

As for recovery in the future?

Dream it!

According to the rules of the Ming cabinet at this time, the chief assistant was replaced by the elders of the cabinet.If Yan Song stepped down because of this matter, it would be Zhang Zan's turn to be the chief assistant, and then he could take the opportunity to push Xu Jie into the cabinet and replace him as the elder.

A few years later, not to mention that I will definitely not let Yan Song come back, even if Jiajing nostalgic for the past and allows Yan Song to re-enter the cabinet, Yan Song will have to start ranking again, ranking at the bottom of the cabinet!

got it?

At that time, Yan Song's status was even lower than Xu Jie's. He was not the chief assistant, so he lost all authority.

Still afraid of Yan Song?

The more the prince thought about it, the more complacent he became, and his eyebrows danced with joy.

……

Yan Song was in the barracks at this time, but he was drinking with Ma Sanduo.

It is said that alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, but that is limited to soldiers.Senior military officers are not subject to this restriction, just don't delay things.

Drinking was suggested by Yan Song.

He saw that Ma Sanduo was a good general who truly cared about the country and the people.The soldiers he led had a different momentum than the frontier troops elsewhere, full of iron and blood.

Such a general is actually the pillar of the country and the hope of the future.

Therefore, Yan Song thought for a while and said with a slight smile: "General Ma, I don't know if there is good wine in the barracks?"

Ma Sanduo was stunned.
