"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Seeing Zhu Houzhao stunned, Cao Yuan shouted in a low voice.

"Oh oh oh." Zhu Houzhao recovered, coughed twice and said: "Well... I think it's a bit cold here. Why don't we go back to the palace."
Zhang Yong heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to serve the driver. However, he heard Yang Tinghe say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty thinks of Yang Yiqing and Ma Ang's plan reported by Mr. Cao."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "This...this matter...let's talk about it later. This is too sudden. Why is there suddenly a decisive battle with the Tatars? This matter...let me think about it again."
Yang Tinghe frowned and winked, and Fei Hong, a bachelor of the cabinet and a bachelor of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how can we delay this matter? The Tatars gathered heavily at the border, and the war clouds were thick, and the war was about to break out. We, the Ming generals, are facing an attack by the Tatar army.
The danger, under Yansui, Shaanxi
Other places are in danger of being invaded by the Tatars. Maybe at this moment, the Tatars have already begun to attack. The military situation is like a fire. If you move quickly, you are likely to take the lead. If you are slow, you are likely to be passively beaten, leading to serious consequences.
How can the emperor ignore him and ignore him?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "Is it that serious? Aren't there more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yansui Border Town? Why is it dangerous? Besides, there has never been a precedent for Tatars to attack in severe winter. Are you too nervous? I think
There is still time to discuss this matter, so if you ask me to make a decision now, isn’t it too hasty?”
Yang Tinghe bowed and said: "What the emperor said makes sense. But this time is extraordinary. The Tatars have never gathered so many troops in Hetao. This matter is not trivial. I believe that if the Tatars are taking advantage of our paralysis,
It is not unusual to choose a severe winter season to launch a surprise attack. The Tatars cannot be judged by common sense. The court must make quick decisions to avoid acting hastily and causing serious trouble."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said nothing.
Yang Tinghe continued: "Your Majesty, attack Yansui Town from Hetao. Once we break through, from the Loess Plateau to the south, we will reach the inland area of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is still far away from the capital, once Yansui Town is broken through, the land between Shaanxi and Gansu will be destroyed."
The land is in danger because it will be cut off by the Tatars from the imperial court.
Food supply road. The Tatar cavalry invades like fire and moves quickly. Their cavalry can travel hundreds of miles in a day to attack, but we will not be able to block it when the time comes. The risk of the Tatar troops breaking into the interior will cause damage.
Unprecedented. Failure to consider such serious consequences may endanger our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "Since what you said is so serious, let's first mobilize some troops to defend Yansui Town. Counterattack the Hetao? I'm afraid this is a bit reckless. This is a big matter, and I can't decide it at the moment."
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Since it is difficult for the emperor to decide, why not immediately convene the ministers to discuss and decide. Let all the officials express their opinions, and the emperor can make a decision based on the results of the officials' deliberations."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "I think we should wait a little longer. The Protector is not in the capital, and we can discuss it again before he comes back."
The faces of Yang Tinghe and others immediately darkened.
"Your Majesty, these words are inappropriate." Liang Chu said in a deep voice.
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the court has its own rules for making decisions on major matters. The imperial court has six cabinet offices, and the emperor is in charge. On major matters of the imperial court, all ministers consult with the emperor to make decisions. This is the rule of our Ming Dynasty. Although the Lord Protector has a high position, his duties are
He is just the deputy governor of the regiment and the governor of the naval yamen. He is a distinguished leader, but not an official of the six cabinet departments. Without him, major affairs of the court cannot be decided? Isn't that true?
It’s a big joke. But what are the six ministries in my cabinet and the thousands of officials in the outer court? The cabinet, the six ministries, and the officials of the various states are all useless? In this case, the emperor simply withdrew the cabinet, disbanded the six ministries, and asked about all major issues.
That's Zhang Yanling. I have lived through three dynasties and have never heard of such a ridiculous thing." Liang Chu's white beard trembled and he shouted emotionally.
Zhu Houzhao was a little angry, but had no words to refute. Indeed, although Zhang Yanling was the Duke of the country and had outstanding merits, in terms of position, he was only a leading minister. In fact, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was a leading military official, whether he was the Duke or the
The marquises all have to accept the command of the Ministry of War.
In fact, the Beijing camp border troops and local guards must accept the leadership of the Ministry of War in name. Without the order from the Ministry of War, they do not have the right to deploy troops privately. In terms of freedom, the guards and horses in Jinyi are more powerful than the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp.
Unrestricted. Because Jinyiwei only accepts orders from the emperor.
Let alone the decision-making of major court affairs. Zhang Yanling and others actually have no right to participate in politics. They can discuss matters, but the court can completely ignore their opinions. In terms of procedures and systems, the six cabinet departments are responsible for government and military affairs.
Core department. As long as the emperor approves, they can decide on all matters.
"The Emperor has repeatedly broken the rules of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, and the Lord Protector has repeatedly done things that are beyond the scope of his powers and responsibilities. For example, in this case of maritime trade, the Emperor allowed him to do his own military affairs. This is extremely outrageous. Allow him to
More than ten memorials were made without consultation by the external court, which had seriously damaged the Ming Dynasty's system.
The old man is deeply concerned. The Protector of the Country has done a great job, but rules are rules. Without rules, how will the court operate in the future? Where will the emperor put us and other officials from the six cabinet departments? The current military and national affairs have to wait for Zhang Yanling's return.
Decision, this is simply ridiculous." Liang Chu said loudly with a red face.
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it anymore and shouted in a deep voice.

Liang Chu, however, did not flinch at all. He slowly stepped back, took off his official hat, revealing his gray hair, and said in a deep voice: "loyalty is harsh to the ears. The emperor does not like to hear the truth, and there is nothing I can do about it. If you offend the emperor, please ask the emperor
Just punish the old minister."
Zhu Houzhao was indeed angry, but he knew that he could not do anything to Liang Chu. He was restoring his image in the minds of the people and ministers. If he tried to convict an old minister like Liang Chu again, his previous achievements would undoubtedly be wasted.
Moreover, what Liang Chu said was not wrong. This was the reason why he could not easily deal with him.
Yang Tinghe spoke in time and said: "Master Liang, how can you speak like this? You are indeed a bit presumptuous. The Protector is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. What is wrong with the emperor relying on him? The Protector has worked hard and dedicated himself to the Ming Dynasty.
Try your best and run around. Who can compare with you? The strategy of maritime trade is the strategy of reviving the Ming Dynasty. It should be fully supported. It is appropriate for the emperor to entrust you with important tasks. The matter is entrusted to you, what can you do?"
Liang Chu lowered his head and said nothing.
Yang Tinghe turned to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. Prince Liang is also loyal, but his words were too harsh. Your Majesty, don't care about what he said."
Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "That's all, I don't care."
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise. However, I also have something to say on my heart. I wonder if I can express it clearly."
Zhu Houzhao said: "That's what you say."
Yang Ting and Xie En stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Does your Majesty know what is the symbol of the ZTE in the Ming Dynasty? In other words, what is the situation in the era of the Ming Dynasty and the ZTE in the Emperor's mind?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned and said: "Does that need to be said? Naturally, our Ming Dynasty has a strong country and a strong people, a strong army and strong horses. With a strong national power, clear seas and rivers, the world is at peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Yang Tinghe nodded and smiled: "The emperor is right. These are naturally the signs of the resurgence of our Ming Dynasty. But the emperor has forgotten the most important thing."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Which one?"
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "To wash away the shame, to avenge the shame."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe with wide eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Yang Tinghe Su Rong said: "Why did our Ming Dynasty revive? It is not because the national power is weakening. This is an unavoidable statement. But why did our Ming Dynasty decline? When did it start going downhill? That was the defeat of Tumubao.
.The imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by 30,000 warriors and horses. Emperor Yingzong...was defeated by the Tatars
The son was stranded. Hundreds of thousands of our Ming Dynasty soldiers, as well as the important ministers and nobles of the court, were wiped out in one battle. This war was not only a failure, but also a shame. Since the defeat of this battle, all the elites in the court have been wiped out.
They suffered heavy losses and suffered a great blow. If the Oara people had not been defeated in the defense battle of the capital, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What do you mean by this? Why didn't I understand what you meant?"
Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, after the Tumubao Incident, our Ming Dynasty began to decline. This is an indisputable fact. Not only the national power was severely damaged, but also the people's hearts were severely damaged. Originally, our Ming Dynasty was a nightmare for the remnants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid at all.
They. But after this battle, the people's hearts were shaken. Even the officials of the imperial court were afraid of the Tatars like tigers and wolves.
The offensive and defensive momentum has changed. The Ming Dynasty has changed from the previous aggressive offensive posture to defending the border towns and relying on the Great Wall passes and fortresses for defense. The Tatars have also become increasingly arrogant and despised the Ming Dynasty. They continue to harass and attack.
Our border town has been attacked hundreds of times over the years, large and small, as proof. Does your Majesty think what I said is right?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said nothing. Although he did not comment, he actually agreed in his heart.
Yang Tinghe continued: "Not only has the offensive and defensive situation changed between our Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, but the attitude of the Western Regions and surrounding countries towards us has also changed from awe to contempt, and they have even become enemies of our Ming Dynasty. It is because of Tumubao
The defeat was outrageous, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated by 30,000 Walas. Of course they will despise us."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhu Houzhao twisted his body uncomfortably and asked.
"What I want to say is that the real ZTE is not only about strong national strength, but also about washing away the psychological shadow. Otherwise, there will never be ZTE. No matter how strong we are, the defeat of Tumubao will always be in our hearts.
Don't let this shame go away
In addition, if it does not avenge the battle, it will not be considered a real resurgence. It will not deter the surrounding small countries. Just like Zhao Song, although Zhao Song was able to survive after crossing south, the shame of Jingkang will be the eternal shame of the people of the Song Dynasty. Regardless of whether it is south or south.
How strong they were once after the transition
Great, but their failure to redress the shame of Jingkang is the reason why they will always be inferior to others and be laughed at and looked down upon by future generations. To this day, we are still laughing at their scars, thinking that they have no blood and only know how to live in peace but not dare
Avenge. So,
In addition to what the emperor said, the real ZTE requires revenge and avenge the previous humiliation. Otherwise, we will be ridiculed by future generations just like the court of Zhao, Song, and Lin'an. Officials and people will always hold this matter in their hearts.
, and become a shame that will be carried forever.”
