Chapter twenty-seven: it's you

 If Zhao Rong's methods were replaced by those of Zhu Qiyu, he might have fallen into his trap accidentally.

But as someone who has been the emperor for several years, Zhu Qiyu has seen this method many times.

With a light word, he pushed it back again.

Isn't Zhao Rong unwilling to quarrel with Wen Chen?

Well, Zhu Qiyu will call out a top civil servant and have a good talk with him.

In fact, it should be said that Zhao Rong's idea is not wrong.

If Zhu Qiyu is just the same Zhu Qiyu as before, then he really has no reason to suppress the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

The fight between civil servants and generals has nothing to do with him.

But it's different now.

Today's situation requires a highly unified command system.

From Zhu Qiyu's current perspective, he sees the court situation far more clearly than when he was ignorant and ignorant in his previous life and was forced to take charge of affairs.

In addition to Wang Zhen's instigation, a very important aspect of the emperor's personal expedition was that he had the support of his distinguished military ministers.

Wang Zhen is indeed lawless, but if the civil and military officials of the dynasty are united in their opposition, Wang Zhen alone may not be able to accomplish it.

Behind this incident is essentially a counterattack launched by Xun Qi and Wu Chen against the power of civil servants as they have become increasingly weaker over the years.

Once this battle is won, a new group of new forces will be born in the Xunqi Group.

In addition to the founding heroes and the heroes of Jingnan, there may also be a group of heroes who conquered the north. Of course, the civil and military officials all believe that they can win. This is the prerequisite.

As long as he can win, Xun Qi Wuchen's power will be strengthened again.

But no one expected that such a battle that was guaranteed to be won would actually be defeated...

Not only did he fail, he failed miserably.

Since you have lost, you have to admit defeat!

In the current situation, most of the most famous relatives in the DPRK have died in the civil war.

To clean up this mess, we have to rely on civil servants.

Since you have to rely on others to clean up this mess, don't blame others for suppressing you.

After all, there is no reason why you are only allowed to attack others, and others are not allowed to kill you while you are sick.

At this time, it is inevitable that the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion will be suppressed!

From Zhu Qiyu's perspective, in order to establish a highly unified command system, he must first not be able to swing left and right.

We must stand firmly on the side of the civil servants and completely take command of the Beijing camp!

With his own influence, it is impossible to control such a huge Beijing camp, and the court will not allow him to control the military power as a prince.

In this case, we can only rely on the power of the Ministry of War. Although this will have certain disadvantages, it is the best way under the current situation.

In fact, from the moment of the defeat in the Battle of Tumu, it was already destined that Xunqi would suffer a thorough and huge counterattack by the Wenchen Group.

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the crowd gradually became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Wang Zhi, who was sitting at the top.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the head of the six departments, Wang Zhi can be regarded as the most important courtier in the government and the public when Duke Ying and Duke Cheng are all dead.

His words are the clarion call for counterattack!

Mr. Wang stood up slowly, saluted and said.

"Your Majesty, this matter is under the control of the Ministry of War. I don't want to say more! However, there is something that I need to remind everyone here..."

At this point, Mr. Wang paused for a moment, turned around, and faced the various gazes below. His old face suddenly became a little more stern.

"Today's discussion is to decide on the most critical government affairs in this situation, and also to decide how we should defend the capital."

"But everyone should know that putting some things on hold does not mean letting them go!"

"In the Battle of Tumu, our Ming Dynasty was severely defeated. The emperor was captured, the army was destroyed, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed or wounded."

"Isn't it appropriate to blame someone for such a huge defeat?"

Mr. Wang spoke slowly, but his voice was unusually solemn.

Every word seemed to hit everyone's hearts. He glanced lightly for a week, but no one caught by the boss' gaze dared to raise their head.

Wang Zhi then turned around, faced Zhu Qiyu again, and said.

"My lord, I thought that although the ministers who accompanied me were dead, there were still a lot of people including the British Duke Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Taining Chen Ying, the governor Liang Cheng, the Minister of Household Affairs Wang Zuo, and the Minister of War Kuang Ye...

"During this battle, as a court minister, I failed to admonish the emperor and restrained the traitorous ministers, which resulted in this catastrophe. It is appropriate to convene a court meeting and investigate separately."

What the old man said was so inspiring that it was quite bold. Among all the people present, only the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was in the position of Tianguan, dared to speak like this...

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the people below and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, it was Wang Zhi, an important official in the court, who could grasp the key points at critical moments.

His words didn't seem to be directed at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but in fact they were harsher than anyone else!

Every word in these words is aimed at the four words in Zhao Rong's words...

Loyal minister and good general!

Didn't Zhao Rong say that suppressing the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army at this time would chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals?

Then the boss will tell you clearly...

What is a loyal minister and a good general?

He went on an expedition with hundreds of thousands of troops, but the whole army was destroyed and the emperor was captured.

Just because of this, you dare to call him a loyal minister and a good general?

Pooh!

This is a big crisis, I don’t have time to deal with you, but you still dare to jump out and jump around, you are simply tired of living!

Every word he said was heart-wrenching and hidden in the thread, yet it was impossible to find any fault in it.

After all, for such a huge defeat, someone must be held responsible!

But who will bear the responsibility?

To say who bears the greatest responsibility, it must be the emperor who insists on personally conquering the country, and Wang Zhen who acts recklessly.

But who dares to say that the emperor is at fault?

As for Wang Zhen...

He is the main culprit, but no one else can escape.

In his position, he will seek his own government!

Since these people went on the expedition at that time, they were taking risks no matter whether they wanted to or not.

After winning, they are all heroes, with military merits on their backs, and their resumes are naturally full of highlights.

But failed!

Not only was it defeated, but it was a huge defeat, and even the emperor was lost, so he must also bear the responsibility.

What's more, Mr. Wang is not just targeting your side, Xun Qi and Wu Chen. He also counts the two big guys on Wen Chen's side.

As the head of a hundred officials, he is absolutely impartial and impartial!

At least, on the surface, no one can accuse him of anything.

In other words, what Mr. Wang means is very clear...

Stay and go!

The imperial court hasn't found time to deal with you yet, so stop fooling around here!

You, the nobles and relatives, have caused such a big mess, yet you dare to come out and accuse the civil servants of suppressing the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army?

Haha! Where is the face?

After what they said, Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong's faces turned red, and they wished they could get through a crack in the ground.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu also said lightly.

"What Mr. Otsuka said is true. However, we can discuss the matter of guilt later."

This can be said to have put this matter aside for the time being.

After a pause, he faced Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong, who were about to drown in saliva, and said.

"Logically speaking, the admiral of the Beijing Camp should be nominated by the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but now, is there a governor sitting in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion?"

Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong looked at each other, both wanting to cry but without tears.

It used to be natural, but now...

All dead!

You must know that the two of them are only temporarily in charge of government affairs and are not the official seal officials of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

As the highest institution that nominally commands the world's military forces, the Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office can be regarded as one of the most powerful positions among military officials.

At least for now, when the Xunqi forces have not been completely suppressed, the value of the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is still extremely high.

Like Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong, it's just that they are in charge of things temporarily or in vain.

If it is an actual award, then any governor of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion must be recognized by the three parties of the emperor, the emperor and the civil servants.

Under normal circumstances, they are also nominated by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and elected by the Baiguan Court.

The two of them are not yet up to this level, let alone the approval of the three parties, even the honorary relatives alone may not be able to convince them.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's words can be regarded as hitting their weak spot.

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion does not have a governor, so there is no way to nominate an important official like the admiral of the capital camp who is closely related to the security of the capital's defense.

Although the Ministry of War does not have a minister now, but...

He looked at Zhu Qiyu's "warm" gaze, then at Otsuka Zai's expression that showed no signs of joy or anger, and then at the eager expressions of the officials in the palace.

Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong finally had to surrender.

"What the prince said is true, and it was just now that I made a mistake!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"In this case, the Ministry of War will handle it quickly and not delay the court meeting in the future."

After this matter was settled, Zhu Qiyu said to Yu Qian.
