After hearing the news, two bachelors, Fei Hong and Liang Chu, rushed over.
Liang Chu was old, and the weather suddenly turned cold, so his body couldn't bear it. When he ran over, he was panting and almost couldn't breathe. Two officials helped him sit on a chair outside and wiped his chest.
Good luck.
Fei Hong stood at the door of the inner room of the public house and shouted loudly: "Master Chief Assistant, Master Chief Assistant, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
The door opened and the curtain was lifted. Yang Tinghe walked out, his bun a little messy, the anger on his face had not dissipated, but his voice became calmer.
"Why are you two here?" Yang Tinghe asked.
"Didn't you say that... the chief assistant was getting angry and smashing things?" Fei Hong said.
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Who is talking nonsense? I just accidentally broke a pot of flowers. Why did I call you here?"
Fei Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I see, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Hey, we thought something happened. Mr. Liang almost couldn't breathe. It's okay, it's okay."
Yang Tinghe looked at Liang Chu who was sitting on the chair wheezing and coughing, and said in a deep voice: "Master Liang, if you feel unwell, you can go home and rest. Master Fei and I are here, you don't have to worry. Your health is important."
Liang Chu stopped coughing and asked hoarsely: "Master Yang, are you really okay?"

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "What can happen? Mr. Liang, please go home and rest. It's cold in spring, so you don't have to suffer in the public house. Someone, please send Mr. Liang back to your home to rest."
The two servants hurriedly agreed and stepped forward to help Liang Chu get up. Yang Tinghe also thoughtfully asked someone to take the cloak he hung outside and put it on Liang Chu to protect him from the wind. Liang Chu wanted to ask a few more questions, but was helped by the servants.
Went out.
After Liang Chu left, Yang Tinghe looked at Fei Hong and said solemnly: "Master Fei, please come in. I have something to discuss with you."
After saying that, Yang Tinghe opened the curtain and entered the inner room of the public house, and Fei Hong hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered the door, Fei Hong was stunned. The usually neat and tidy public house of the First Assistant was in a mess. The floor was strewn with papers and books. Flower pots and teacups were knocked to the ground. Broken porcelain slag and the contents in the flower pots were all over the floor.
The dirt and calligraphy and paintings on the wall were torn to pieces, and all the tables and benches were overturned.
The public house looked as if it had just been robbed by bandits.
"What...is going on?" Fei Hong asked in shock.
"Master Fei, please take a seat." Yang Tinghe looked as usual, stretched out his hands to lift up the two stools, sat on one himself, and motioned to Fei Hong to sit on the other.
Fei Hong sat on the stool full of doubts and looked at Yang Tinghe.
"There is a memorial and a letter here. Sir Fei, please take a look." Yang Tinghe reached out from his arms and took out Hu Zuguang's memorial and the letter jointly written by Yang Yiqing and Zhu Hui to the cabinet.

Fei Hong hurriedly took it, opened it and took a closer look. After a moment, Fei Hong's expression changed drastically. He stood up suddenly, looked up at Yang Tinghe in astonishment and said: "Master Chief Assistant, this... how is this possible? How could this happen?"
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after reading it. There's still that letter."
Fei Hong quickly read the memorial and the letter with a nervous expression. His face turned pale. He finally understood why Yang Tinghe smashed up the house like this. This incident was too sudden and too sudden.
Shocking and angry.
"Have you finished reading?" Yang Tinghe reached over, took away the memorial and letter from Fei Hong's hand, and asked softly.
Fei Hong looked at Yang Tinghe blankly and said: "Master Chief Assistant, isn't this something serious? How can this be possible? How could this be the case? Didn't we say before that everything went well and we were about to capture the Loop?
?how so?"
Yang Tinghe smiled faintly and sighed: "Yes. Things in this world are like this, true and false, unpredictable. We here think that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are advancing in triumph, who can know that all this is a lie? What a god.
What a big joke.”
Fei Hong said in a trembling voice: "Master Chief Assistant, if all this is true, our army is trapped by the Tatars and is in danger. Then we must quickly report to the emperor and send troops to rescue. Otherwise, isn't it all over? Let's go.
, Mr. Chief Assistant, we will go to the palace immediately to see the emperor and convene everyone to discuss countermeasures."
Fei Hong said and walked out the door. Yang Tinghe sat still and looked at Fei Hong with a frown.
"Master Chief Assistant, let's go. What's wrong?" Fei Hong asked.
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Master Fei, if I remember correctly, in the fifth year of Zhengde, the year when Liu Jin died, you were transferred from the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites to the cabinet. Jia Wenyuange, a bachelor, became the cabinet assistant.
Is he one of the ministers who also serves as the Minister of Rites?"

Fei Hong was stunned and said: "Yes, why does the Chief Assistant ask this?"
Yang Tinghe nodded and said: "In other words, you have only been in the cabinet for four years. You are about the same age as me, and you are in the prime of life. Like Liang Chu, you can still serve in the cabinet and the court for more than twenty years.
Well. At the age of Liang University Scholar, he can still hold an important position in the court. What an honor and achievement it is."
Fei Hong had questions in his mind, so he could only follow Yang Tinghe's words and said: "It's not because of the trust and recommendation of the chief minister. Without your recommendation, how would I, Fei Hong, be today? I don't dare to imagine how many years I can serve the imperial court. In short,
, if the imperial court needs it, I will do my best and die."
Yang Tinghe laughed and said: "What a man who dedicated himself to death. Everyone says so, how many can do it? Mr. Fei, I think, today we are ministers of the cabinet, tomorrow we may be prisoners of the subordinates, so we must
I have been reviled by others and called a treacherous minister. I have been in infamy for thousands of years. Today is the last day for you and me to serve as Grand Scholars of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet. Do you have anything to say?"
Fei Hong stood blankly, his mind in chaos.
Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "Master Fei is going to see the emperor to report the things reported in the memorial? I will accompany you. But please wait a moment, I have to change into a new official uniform and write a letter to my wife.
My son’s letter. Because this may be the last time I see the emperor and the last chance to write letters to my relatives at home. It’s time for you, Mr. Fei, to change into new official uniforms and leave some words for your family.”
Fei Hong stood there in a daze, but in an instant, he understood what Yang Tinghe was talking about.
"Lord Chief Assistant...you mean...the emperor will be angry with us? Will he punish us?"
"Does it need to be said? The matter of sending troops is my outer court's proposal. You and I, Mr. Liang, are patting our chests to ensure that it will succeed. Now that things have reached this point, can you and I get away with it? Can the emperor forgive us? Even if
Your Majesty is magnanimous. Can Zhang Yanling, Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and others spare us? They have long been eager to have the opportunity to attack us. Mr. Fei, today you and I only need to deal with this matter.
Report to the Emperor, next, you and I will go to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen. Pleading guilty is a death penalty, and if you don’t plead guilty, you will not survive in the prison. In short, you and I will die. Not only you and me, we
Our parents, wives, concubines, brothers, everything we own will be destroyed. There are also people related to the foreign court, and none of the six government officials can escape. We will all be destroyed. We will all die without a burial place."
Yang Tinghe spoke in a low voice, lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes up, and stared straight at Fei Hong.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Fei Hong's body. Yang Tinghe's voice was cold and his eyes were like a ferocious beast, which made Fei Hong shudder.
"Master Yang, what do you think we should do? Shouldn't we report such a big thing to the imperial court? What should Yang Yiqing, Zhu Hui, the others, and the 130,000 soldiers do? Shouldn't we save them? What should we do?" Fei Hongzhuan
vocal tract.
Yang Tinghe stood up slowly, walked to the window with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the small trees in the yard that were shaking crazily under the howling cold wind outside. He said in a cold voice.
"Rescue? How to save? Is it too late? The letter said that they were trapped at the end of February, and today is already March 11. Their food can only last for twenty days. In other words, even if they are full, they will still have at most
Ten days of army rations. Could it be that some heavenly soldiers will descend from the sky to rescue them?"
Fei Hong said: "If we mobilize the cavalry and travel day and night, they can catch up. If they ration twenty days of food and grass, they can last for a month if they eat less than one meal a day. If not, they still have war horses and some livestock.
It can be slaughtered. It can be sustained."
Yang Tinghe turned around and glared angrily: "Cavalry? The cavalry over there? The cavalry in the capital? Doesn't that mean telling everyone about this? It's better for you and I to plead guilty and take the initiative to confess to the emperor. Fei Hong, you want your home to be confiscated.
, the whole family is sent to the border, do you want your wife and daughter to become prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi? Do you want to be tortured in the Jinyiwei prison? Are you willing to have all your achievements and status achieved through your lifelong struggle to be wasted?
"
Fei Hong stood there with his hands crossed, rolling his eyes blankly and muttering to himself: "I... of course I don't want to, am I crazy? I want to end up like this? But what should we do? We have no choice.
Already."
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "You don't want to, and neither do I. Then, you will listen to my arrangements in this matter. I will definitely find a way to keep you. As long as you listen to me, it will be done."
Fei Hong said: "What is your clever plan, Mr. Chief Assistant? How can you hide this matter?"
Yang Tinghe looked at the memorial and the letter in his hand, and suddenly started tearing them apart, tearing the letter and the memorial into pieces.

Fei Hong said in shock: "Master Yang..."
"Remember, neither you nor I have seen this memorial or letter asking for help. We don't know anything about it. We must remember it." Yang Tinghe said solemnly.
Fei Hong frowned and said: "But... the emperor still needs to know about this matter. Hu Zuguang, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, also knows about it, and Qiu Yue, they know that a memorial has been sent. If we pretend not to know, are we hiding our ears and stealing the bell?"
"
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "I will write to Hu Zuguang immediately, and he will listen to my instructions. Not long ago, the Ministry of War obtained clues that he secretly sold weapons to the Tatars, but there was no time to check him. That's why the deputy commander of the army was sent out this time.
Li Junqing leads the army. He will obey my orders. He has not written any memorials."
Fei Hong swallowed his foam and said, "Where is Qiu Yue?"
Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Qiu Yue is injured and is in Datong Town. His injury will not heal. Hu Zuguang will treat it for him."
Fei Hong shivered and his scalp felt numb.
"But what about our Ming Dynasty's 130,000 soldiers? What should we do? If they are defeated, the news will still reach the capital and the court will know about it. We still can't escape the relationship." Fei Hong murmured.
Yang Tinghe let out a sneer, and Fei Hong's hair stood on end, and he stared blankly at Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe stopped laughing and said something that made Fei Hong even more frightened.
