Chapter 96 My heart is so tired
While the court was worrying about the Grand Examination, Anda’s actions also reached the capital.
After receiving the intelligence, the Ministry of War immediately reported it.
The cabinet, the Ministry of War and others all went to the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan to wait for the summons of Emperor Jiajing.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Yan Song, the Minister of Rites, Xu Jie, the Minister of War, Ding Rukui, Shao Zhanshi and Hanlin scholar Lu Ben, and others looked grave and did not say a word. Everyone knew that this situation was worse than before. Somewhat serious.
Because this time, there were both Xuanfu spies and Liaodong spies.
Moreover, the contents of these intelligence reports are very inconsistent. In such a situation, there is either a problem with the intelligence itself, or Anda is preparing to attack on several fronts and comprehensively invade the important towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a serious situation is definitely not something that the cabinet and the Ministry of War can make the decision, so at this critical moment of the examination competition, they came to Xiyuan together to request an audience and hold an imperial meeting.
Huang Jin came out of the Longevity Palace, looked at Yan Song and others, and declared: "The emperor has a decree, Xuan'er and others have come to see you."
Yan Song and others bowed: "I obey the decree. ”
Then everyone entered the palace one by one.
After the four people came to the hall and stood on the left and right sides, Emperor Jiajing also came out wearing a black Taoist robe.
Yan Song and others bowed again: "I will see your Majesty."
Emperor Jiajing sat on the imperial couch, looked up at everyone, and said calmly: "Everyone, get up."
< br>“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Yan Song stood up tremblingly, and Emperor Jiajing said again: "Huang Jin brought a brocade pier to Mr. Ge."
When he usually received Yan Song alone, Emperor Jiajing would not give Yan Song such courtesy. However, when there were other cabinet ministers and ministers from the six ministries present, Emperor Jiajing would still deliberately elevate Yan Song's status and treat him differently from other ministers to show favor and distinction.
Yan Song carefully sat on the brocade pier beside him, while Xu Jie and others stood there obediently and looked at each other, very respectfully.
Emperor Jiajing stretched out his arms and put aside the sleeves of his wide Taoist robe. "Tell me, what's the urgent news?"
Ding Rukui, the Minister of War, stood up and paid his respects. : "Your Majesty, Xuanfu's spies reported that the captives moved their tents to Weining Haizi; later they retaliated and wanted to invade Shuozhou. Liaodong's spies reported that the captives wanted to invade Haixi and Kaiyuan, and the barbarians in Duoyan asked to prepare Baima Pass, each The reports were mixed. I thought that what I wanted to do this time was very serious, so I did not dare to reply privately, so I reported it to the cabinet and asked your Majesty to make a judgment. "
When Emperor Jiajing heard Ding Rukui's words, he couldn't help but snorted, "Are you afraid of taking responsibility? It's not a new thing for Anda to commit crimes. This time, the government of Liaodong was reported to all the capital. This has already been explained. Is there a problem? Tell me, how did you calculate it? "
Emperor Jiajing also knew the urinary nature of these ministers. He said that he came to ask him to judge, but in fact he was just trying to get rid of the blame.
And these people probably had already discussed their response strategies before coming, and were just waiting for him to make a decision.
So Emperor Jiajing didn't bother to talk nonsense with these ministers. After all, he was not his warlike cousin, and he had no military strategy, so Emperor Jiajing would not publish such professional military affairs. His own opinion, what he wants is the result.
As long as there is a solution to the problem and the solution sounds reasonable, Emperor Jiajing will not add any unnecessary nonsense.
In this regard, he is much better than Zhu Houzhao, but of course he is much worse.
After all, as a professional emperor, he would be at a disadvantage if he did not know the art of strategic warfare.
Ding Rukui awkwardly bowed to Emperor Jiajing again, "I have already discussed this with the elders. It is a matter for the generals to keep their word and defend the prisoners from entering."
"Today, what Miao Mo should do first is to prepare for Ji Town urgently and provide a shield for the capital. I would like to send one troop of Hejian troops to station in Miyun and one branch of Baoding troops to station in Tongzhou. They will all listen to the governor of Jizhou's control. Zhuolu, Xingzhou and other four guards were also mobilized to guard the passes." Emperor Jiajing heard what Ding Rukui said and glanced at Yan Song.
Emperor Jiajing said: "What do you think of the opinion of the Minister of War, Mr. Yan Ge?"
When Yan Song heard Emperor Jiajing's roll call, he stood up quickly and bowed tremblingly: "Your Majesty can make arbitrary decisions, and I dare not "Nonsense about the military affairs."
Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie and Lu Ben again, "What do you two think?"
Xu Jie and Lu Ben also replied quickly: " I don’t dare to talk about military and national affairs.”
After hearing what Xu Jie and Lu Ben said, Emperor Jiajing couldn’t help but sneer, “Aren’t you guys pretty good at talking about it in normal times? When you encounter an emergency, do you just leave the blame to me? Do I raise you just to be my yes-men?”
Yan Song, Xu Jie, Lu Ben and others were all frightened when Emperor Jiajing said this, and they knelt down to apologize.
Emperor Jiajing felt helpless when he saw them kneeling down and burying their heads.
Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Forget it, Wan Fang is guilty, and I am the one to blame. Even if you can really make any suggestions, I will be responsible for the problem in the end. I am sure of Ding Rukui's suggestions. "
After hearing this, Yan Song and others quickly bowed to Emperor Jiajing, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves and left the meeting. of the main hall.
Huang Jin also followed immediately.
When Emperor Jiajing returned to the monastery where he was meditating, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but have a bit of disgusted anger on his face.
"These cabinet ministers and the six ministers will blame me. The imperial court has given them high officials and generous salaries, but they cannot share the worries of the king and father. Whenever they encounter problems, they will blame me. I What's the use of raising them?"
Huang Jin listened to Emperor Jiajing's angry words and quickly advised: "The emperor calm down, the cabinet and the six ministries have always been like this, how can they dare to make the decision on such an important matter? "
Emperor Jiajing snorted: "Yes, they don't dare, but when they fight with me, they dare to do anything. It's difficult for me as an emperor!"
Huang Jin remained silent, he would not dare to answer the question again.
After Emperor Jiajing complained for a while, his depression dissipated a lot.
Then Emperor Jiajing no longer thought about these bad things, and continued to return to the golden tent to meditate. It was the right way to become an immortal as soon as possible.
Zhu Zaijing, who had already arrived at Shunyi Industrial Park, was now accompanied by Teng Xiang and Zhang Tianci and came to Zhang Erhe.
After getting Zhu Zaijing’s affirmation and strong support, Zhang Erhe was full of energy. He also set up a tall stove in a corner of the second phase industrial park and began to bake according to his secret recipe. Transparent glass.
Today was his first day to open the furnace, and Zhu Zaijing had nothing to do, so he came here from Prince Yu's Mansion, wanting to see with his own eyes whether Zhang Erhe's transparent glass was really glass.
If it is really glass and the production cost can be reduced, it will be a huge profit.
Because in ancient societies with underdeveloped industries, the price of glass or colored glaze was not too low, and there was no need to worry about selling it. It was faster than grabbing money!
