Chapter 7752 Zheng Erniang
"When they enter, the northern military power will be unbalanced."
"But, can't the Beili family fight for it?" Luo Xingchen said.
"Beili's rebellion is already unstoppable. If King Beili is still alive, maybe the rebellion of Beili's family can be controlled... but King Beili will probably not survive." Yue Leiting Shake his head and sigh.
"Perhaps King Beili is imprisoned somewhere by them?" Luo Xingchen said.
As long as people are alive, there is hope. The biggest fear is that people are already dead.
“It’s unlikely. Beili Tu, the elder of the Beili family, is a powerful figure. It’s impossible for him to keep King Beili as a hidden danger... Keeping King Beili will not do him any good. There are many disadvantages. If I were Beili Tu, I would kill King Beili and pretend that King Beili is still alive, using this as bait. To lure others to come."
Yue Leiting paused, then said: "If you really go, it will be like a moth flying into the flames."
"In other words, don't care about Beili. Whether the king is still alive or not, we have to treat him as dead and use this as a fact to implement the plan." Luo Xingchen thought.
"Yes, Xingchen, you will live in Qishanguan for the next few days. Don't leave for the time being. In these few days, news will come from the court." Yue Leiting said.
"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Yue." Luo Xingchen nodded.
……
Yangxin Hall.
Qi Xingyun leaned over and wrote a paragraph on the paper.
Eunuch Wang Yun ran quickly and came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is here."
"Let him in." Qi Xingyun raised his head and said.
“Kowtow to Your Majesty.” Bachelor Zhang Tingyu stepped into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
“No courtesy.”
“Mr. Zhang Ge, the situation is urgent, I won’t say anything more, please take a look at this note.”
Qi Xingyun signaled, and Eunuch Wang Yun stepped forward in person, holding the zhazi in both hands and came to Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu was not polite. He raised his hand and took the note into his hand, unfolding it to look at it.
After reading it carefully, Zhang Tingyu's face gradually became serious.
"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter. According to my experience, it requires the cabinet ministers to discuss a plan together."
Qi Xingyun tapped his fingers on the table: " You need to come up with a plan by tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Naturally, major military and national affairs cannot be decided by him in one word. It is also tradition for the cabinet ministers to discuss them.
"Without further delay, I will take my leave now. After the discussion is completed, I will enter the palace again."
Zhang Tingyu is now the chief minister of the cabinet and has the right to convene cabinet meetings.
He left the palace and headed straight towards the location of the cabinet.
The cabinet office is located in a pavilion outside the palace.
The main hall is the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the imperial edict hangs high on the door of the pavilion, strictly stating the regulations: "This is a confidential place where officials and other people are waiting. No unauthorized entry is allowed. Violators will not be punished."
But this is For outsiders, there is no obstacle to the chief minister of the cabinet like Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu entered Wenyuan Pavilion and saw only Jiang Wanliu and Li Chuncheng working inside.
Jiang Wanliu has beautiful features and elegant temperament, while Li Chuncheng is dark and simple in appearance.
No matter what they look like, they are all cabinet bachelors now, which is the pinnacle of Daqi officials. Being able to reach this position means that their talents and abilities are first-class.
"Master Jiang, Master Li, the emperor has a secret letter. The things written in it require us to hold a meeting immediately to discuss."
Zhang Tingyu did not be polite and went straight to the point. "What's so urgent?" Jiang Wanliu raised his head and paused with the pen in his hand.
“This is a zhazi.”
Zhang Tingyu took out a zhazi from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Afterwards, Jiang Wanliu and Li Chuncheng both looked at it and their expressions became serious.
No matter what their political views are, their interests are the same in the face of the chaos in the north described in Zhazi.
"The Beili family is too domineering, and the court thinks too much of them." Jiang Wanliu sneered. Like Feng Yueheng, he was a figurehead of the Dongling Academy faction. Representing the interests of the old literati and local gentry, they have never had a good impression of the dependent warlords like the Beili family.
What Zhazi said about Beili's family wanting to rebel further proved that his previous thoughts were correct.
A family like the Beili family should not exist, and now, the ambition of the Beili family is clearly revealed.
"We want to come up with a charter, but there are not enough people. We need to call Master Feng and Master Liu, but Master Liu has gone to the southwest and is not in the capital. Time is tight, so we call Master Feng and we will speed up the discussion. " Zhang Tingyu said.
"I'm going to call someone. Before he comes, let's discuss it first."
Subsequently, Jiang Wanliu sent out his closest confidants to call for someone in Feng Mansion.
Before Feng Yueheng came, the three cabinet bachelors had a brief discussion.
In some aspects, they have some differences, but on the matter of dealing with Beili's rebellion, they rarely reach an agreement.
"Beili's family cannot be tolerated. If they dare to rebel, the imperial court will crush them with thunderous force." Jiang Wanliu waved his arms heavily, with a hint of excitement flushing on his face.
"General Yue asked the imperial court for help. The troops and horses that the imperial court can send are difficult to arrange." Li Chuncheng frowned.
The biggest difference between them now is here. Which army should be dispatched north to support?
If the elite troops are sent north, the capital will become empty.
And if we use some miscellaneous troops, what kind of combat effectiveness will we have? It is useless to send them out. On the contrary, they will delay military and national affairs.
The three of them argued about this matter for a while, and then stopped when Feng Yueheng arrived.
After the three of them finished speaking, Feng Yueheng touched his chin and walked around the room. Then he looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Zhang Shoufu, I think there is an army that is more suitable."
"That army?" Zhang Tingyu asked doubtfully.
There are only a handful of armies that must be loyal to the king and capable of fighting.
Everything he could think of, there were some problems.
"Zheng Erniang of the Tujia people, her Tujia army is available." Feng Yueheng said.
"Yes, Zheng Erniang's Tujia army can do it." Zhang Tingyu suddenly realized.
He had gone into a misunderstanding before. He always thought about deploying troops in the capital, but he forgot that there was still a Tujia army.
"But the imperial court has not approached Zheng Erniang for many years. I wonder if she will still obey the imperial edict." Zhang Tingyu said.
"I will definitely obey the imperial edict. Zheng Erniang is a very loyal person. The court treats the Tujia people very well. At most, they have not asked them to fight in these years." Feng Yueheng firmly believed that Zheng Erniang would definitely obey the imperial edict.
"Now that we have decided, we will report the results of the discussion to the emperor." Zhang Tingyu said.
In the afternoon of that year, Zhang Tingyu entered the palace again.
This time, he brought the results of the discussion.
"Zheng Erniang..."
Qi Xingyun put his hands behind his back and thought for a while.
"Send a minister to announce the decree and call the Tujia army to go north."
