The emperor reacted in this way, with Xie Qian and Li Dongyang's political awareness, he realized that something happened in the northwest, which was probably as described in the promissory note: the Tatars took the initiative to invade the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty originally took the strategic initiative, but now it has become the passive party to be beaten.

Xiao Jing submitted the memorial to Emperor Hongzhi.

Zhu Youzhang first looked at the content of the memorial. As the emperor's political awareness, he could not see too many clues from this memorial. However, when he saw the content of the votes written by "Xie Qian", Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but look up in surprise and looked at Xie Qian with a respectful gaze.

The content of this ticket is indeed exactly the same as the situation of the emergency report on the border. Even the Tatars invaded the surrounding areas of Yulinwei accurately predicted.

Zhu Youzhe learned the war report in the early morning. Four days ago, the Tatars invaded the border land and martial law was carried out everywhere in the border areas.

Before Li Dongyang and Xie Qian came in, Zhu Youzhang saw the second battle report, saying that the Tatars were invading Yulin Guards.

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that Xie Qian and Li Dongyang came, and brought such a memorial and vote... The war report was related to the highest secret of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youzhi was sure that others would not dare to leak such news casually to Xie Qian.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhang's face was deep, Xie Qian was also worried. If nothing happened, his situation would be easy to be fulfilled.

In fact, before coming to the Ganqing Palace, Xie Qian had already made a draft and was about to explain to Zhu Youzhang why he made such a plan. The focus was on preventing problems before they happened. He wanted to say that the speculation about the direction of the Tatars' troops was just his speculation and could not be used as an opportunity decision for the frontline soldiers.

But if the matter is true and has been born, then this explanation is "deceited and mysterious".

It would be better to say that he knew the Yin and Yang and Five Elements, and he would look at the stars at night and then look at them. The emperor would definitely ask the truth, but he would not believe what he prepared for, saying "I rely on guessing all" by saying.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is really a war on the northwest front?" Just as Xie Qian was in a dilemma, Li Dongyang spoke up to break the silence in the Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhang looked up at the two cabinet ministers and sighed: "I hope there is no one, but the war report came last night. There was indeed a fireworks ignited from the northwest border, but it was not my frontier troops attacking, but the Beiyi took the lead."

Li Dongyang was worried. Although the Ming Dynasty had been preparing for this battle for a long time, his preparations were all for active attacks, such as the main attack direction, the coordination of troops and horses, the use of the Flang machine cannon, how to prevent harassment from the rear after attack, etc.

Now that the preparations have been completed, the war has begun, and then the soldiers on the border will appear. The previous preparations will be put to waste, and the war will return to their familiar rhythm. The Tatar cavalry is rampant. The Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers are huddled in the city gates, watching the Tatars arrogant, and the blow to the morale of the army is extremely huge.

The court repeatedly claimed to defeat the Hulu, seal the wolf's servants, and completely eliminate the remnants of the Mongol Yuan. The morale of the soldiers was boosted and they were ready to make achievements. However, the Tatars' active attack made the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dream of being empty.

It turns out that the Tatars who were proclaimed by the court to survive in internal struggles are still so brave and good at fighting. Our Ming soldiers still cringe and are unable to fight. So what achievements can they make?

Even if the Tatars withdraw and mobilize before the war, the soldiers will not be able to take advantage of this, and the morale of fighting on the front line of the battlefield will definitely be greatly frustrated.

Zhu Youting felt a little upset and was preparing for a long-day battle in the northwest. Because the Tatars suddenly attacked like divine weapons from the sky, their plans were completely disrupted. So should this battle be carried out?

Zhu Youzhi asked, "Mr. Xie, I finally understand why you submitted a memorial to 'stop the war'. It seems that the Beiyi did not retreat to Mobei as expected and was unable to fight. But I dare to ask Mr. Xie, how did you judge from this memorial that the Tatars would take the initiative to attack?"

Suddenly, Xie Qian became the focus of the Ganqing Palace.

Xie Qian answered the emperor's questions in the court not once or twice. He has always been known for his ability to speak and be kind. He said anything from his mouth, and it turned out to be a little bit serious and a harmonious thing. Before Wu Dynasty this time, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang came to meet the emperor. Only Zhu Youting, Xiao Jing and Li Dongyang looked at him, but Xie Qian was unable to speak and fell into a dilemma of being unable to speak.

Li Dongyang said: "Yu Qiao, I have asked you before in Wenyuan Pavilion. Now you can tell me so that Your Majesty can know if there will be any abnormal movements in the Northern Fan family in the future. My frontier soldiers may be able to find out in advance!"

Xie Qian could have pushed Chen Xi out and told the emperor that this was actually judged by Chen Xi. From the perspective of serving the country and the people, it would be great to let the emperor see Chen Xi's talent, then use Chen Xi, and even transfer Chen Xi to the northwest to make up for the mistakes of forcing Chen Xi to stay in the capital.

But doing this is equivalent to slapping Xie Qian in the face!

The emperor gave you a vote to be a big shot, but you pretended to be someone else. Even if you were just an advisor, you, the Grand Secretary, did not fulfill his responsibilities.

Since Xie Qian could not push Chen Xi out, he had to face a problem and find out the reason for Chen Xi to make such a judgment from the process of inference of the results.

This is actually much easier than Chen Xi's judgment from clues, but it still makes Xie Qian think a lot.

"Return to Your Majesty." Xie Qian carefully considered the words, "The old minister did not answer this memorial carefully at first, and even delayed the fighter's opportunity. Please forgive me!"

When Zhu Youzhe checked the memorial before, he noticed that the memorial was transferred to the Tongzheng Office two days ago.

The Tatars attacked four days ago. Even if Xie Qian showed up in time, it would be too late. The fault was that the border did not regard this report as an expedited battle. If it was transmitted to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles, Xie Qian realized that day, maybe things would turn around.

Zhu Youzhang waved his hand: "How can I blame Mr. for this? Mr., please come up and tell me in detail!"

Xie Qian felt so embarrassed, but he still bit the bullet and figured out Chen Xi's state of mind, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the old minister has been busy all night, his eyes are blurred, and his mind is dazed..."

"Sir, I've been busy all night?"

Zhu Youzhang was shocked and never got old. Xie Qian was so old that it was not easy to be able to stay at Wenyuan Pavilion at night. In Zhu Youzhang's opinion, Xie Qian was able to sleep around the second update, which was a sign of diligence and self-restraint. In the third update, it was to work hard for the country and the people. As a result, Xie Qian stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion for a whole night?

What is this!? This is simply a saint who saves the world!

Xie Qian's old face was a little unpredictable. He couldn't make up such lies himself. Not only did he talk nonsense, he also deceived the emperor.

Li Dongyang walked out and spoke to Xie Qian: "Your Majesty, when I arrived at the cabinet at the time of the 19th, Xie Shangshu was just sleeping for a while. He planned to write not less than 400 copies last night. Perhaps he was disturbed by him. He stood up to view the copy without regard to rest. He showed this copy. After making the copy, he discussed with me. He felt that the situation was serious and came to make a comment!"

Li Dongyang came out to "testify" for Xie Qian, which meant to whitewash himself. When Xie Qian brought the memorial to speak, he did not realize the seriousness of the situation. He just wanted to find an excuse to come and ask the emperor what unspeakable things were in the Wu court, but he accidentally made a mistake and made a prophecy.

Li Dongyang's admiration for Xie Qian was real. He was about the same age as Xie Qian. He asked himself that he could not stay up all night like Xie Qian, and could also accurately make such a plan, predicting the life of war from an insignificant memorial.

Zhu Youxi thought of the awkwardness that Chen Xi and Xie Qian had had before, and when Xie Qian submitted a memorial to "stop the war", he was angry and looked ashamed, and stood up and bowed respectfully:

"Mr. Xie, it is my misunderstanding of your sincerity. Please forgive me!"

The emperor admits his mistake to his ministers. This kind of thing has been rare since ancient times, let alone the emperor admits his mistake after arguing with his ministers. He challenged the emperor and made the emperor lower his posture. Xie Qian was almost the number one person in the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Qian quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, you must not, the old minister has also made mistakes. Your Majesty is a wise lord!"

The original rift between the monarch and his subjects disappeared because of this ceremony. Zhu Youzhang's trust in Xie Qian did not decrease, but instead increased.

Zhu Youting sat down with an expectant look on his face: "Sir, please speak."

“Yes, Your Majesty

Li Dongyang watched from the side and was deeply moved.

This is how a wise monarch and a loyal minister get along. Even if there is a dispute between them, they can explain things and understand each other like friends.

Xie Qian felt ashamed. I am not "full of sincerity". I am simply borrowing that boy Chen Xi to help me with my affairs and gain the trust of the emperor!

Zhu Youzhang sat down and said with anticipation: "Sir, please speak."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Xie Qian pondered for a moment and said, "When the old minister looked at this memorial, he thought it was an ordinary immigration matter at first, and it was not important, but it involved the migration of northern and southern barbarians, so he had to consider it repeatedly."

"After careful consideration, the Tatars had not invaded the border for several years, and in the past, they had never plundered the Di people. Since the beginning of Xia, our frontier troops have been frequently mobilized, and the Tatars must have noticed it."

"Even if the Tatars fear the might of our army and want to retreat northward, they will plunder and then evacuate while our three armies are not yet stable. Therefore... the old minister has this judgment!"

Xie Qian thought and said, speaking very slowly, his logic was not very strong, and he was a little confused.

But Xie Qian expressed one point, that is, the Tatars plundered the border this time, not to fight head-on with the Ming Dynasty, but to plunder and flee north. He said that he was based on the plunder of the Tatar herders. He thought that the Tatars were not only satisfied with plundering the grassland tribes, but would also come to the Ming Dynasty border, rob and leave.

This principle sounds reasonable to Li Dongyang and Zhu Youting.

Xie Qian's main purpose was to satisfy the vanity of Zhu Youzhang, the emperor of the "Celestial Kingdom": The Tatars were not here to fight head-on with us. After robbing, the Tatars would run away with their tails!
