In Wanshou Palace, sandalwood rose up.

Jiajing, wearing a blue Taoist robe, leaned against the soft collapse. After taking the latest elixirs made by Liu Wenbin's group, his symptoms seemed to improve.

After more than a year of illness, he also clearly felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he was becoming increasingly unable to do anything about government affairs recently.

However, when he learned that Huang Taiji led 100,000 Mongolian cavalry invaded Xuanfu, he couldn't help but worry that this would endanger the capital. He also felt nervous and even summoned four cabinet ministers to discuss matters.

Huang Jin carefully served Jiajing with elixirs as before, and then shut down the eunuch and palace maids, and then stood respectfully beside the red lacquer cylinder.

Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, led three cabinet ministers to visit him. He also learned about the military situation of Mongolia's massive invasion, and maintained a perfect sad look on his face.

Although Xuanfu is farther than Jizhou and Liaodong, if this Mongolian cavalry forcibly raided the defense line of Xuanfu, they could also go straight to the capital.

Jiajing had already lost confidence in the border army, so he asked lightly: "Four dear ministers, Huang Taiji suddenly attacked this time, I wonder what good plans are there?"

The officialdom was already deeply rooted in people's hearts, and cabinet ministers, including Guo Pu, were the first to look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie became more and more like a prime minister, and responded kindly: "Emperor, the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty have been closely guarded over the years. The old minister thought that as long as he did not commit the fault of greed for merit and prosper, Huang Taiji would definitely not endanger the capital!"

Huh?

Guo Pu's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Xu Jie seemed to be reasonable, as an old man who had been in the officialdom for many years, he still smelled a trace of smoke.

"For some reason, I am very worried this time!" Jiajing frowned slightly, and said that he also said in his heart.

It’s not that I have encountered such a big invasion of Mongolian cavalry, but I have always been restless recently and always dreamed of all kinds of bad things at night, so he pays more attention to this military situation than before.

"The emperor is the true dragon emperor, and now he is devout to the Tao. Now the emperor is worried. It must be God's advance warning to the emperor!" Xu Jie's heart moved immediately, and then he turned to Yan Ne.

Yan Ne immediately understood it and stood up and proposed: "Your Majesty, I think that although Master Lin has military achievements, he has no experience in presiding over border affairs and is too aggressive in his work. I think it is urgent and can send Zhao Bingran, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to Xuanfu as an imperial envoy, to take charge of Xuanfu's border defense matters!"

this……

When Huang Jin heard this proposal, he found that the court was really uneasy. The old man who was also the Minister of War was replaced by a left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Where did Lin Yanran put his face and how would the soldiers on the nine sides feel?

"Not to mention that changing commanders at the last minute is a taboo in military strategists. Since the court has already asked Mr. Lin to serve as the Minister of War, then we must have confidence in Mr. Lin, instead of going to the point of flirting with Qin and Qi!" Guo Pu had already reached an alliance with Lin Qin and understood the truth that his lips were lost and his teeth were cold, so he stood up and spoke authentically for Lin Qin and Qi.

For a moment, this calm court was faintly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Yan Ne faced Guo Pu's rebuttal and said tit-for-tat: "During Zhao Bingran's tenure as Governor of Xuanda, Xuanfu and Datong were safe and sound. At least he was more steadily than Master Lin. The current Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and everything should be based on stability without having to worry about who is the official and the young are putting the cart before the horse!"

Guo Pu was about to retort, but he heard a cough coming from above, and immediately closed his mouth obediently. Although he stood up and spoke for Lin Qingran, he actually knew in his heart that he could not fight against three, and he could not stop anything.

What Jiajing wanted was that the capital was safe and sound. After looking around the four important officials, he finally turned his eyes to Xu Jie and said, "Ge Lao Xu, what do you think?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Jie, but Yan Ne's face was smiling, while Guo Pu's face looked solemn.

"The old minister thinks that Ge Yan's words are reasonable, but the old minister thinks that Zhao Bingran is not appropriate. Yang Bo, the Minister of Personnel, can temporarily preside over the border affairs, which can ensure that Xuanfu is safe this time!" Xu Jie thought for a moment, and immediately proposed his own plan.

wonderful!

Huang Jin, standing next to the red painted cylinder, looked at Xu Jie, and couldn't help but secretly applaud Xu Jie.

Compared with Zhao Bingran, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who presided over border affairs, it is far less clever than appointing Yang Bo. As long as Yang Bo intervenes again, it will probably become more difficult for Lin Xuran to control the border army in the future.

It has to be admitted that when it comes to the wisdom of political struggle, if Xu Jie recognized the second, no one would dare to recognize the first, and Yan Ne's pockmark is only worthy of Xu Jie's shoes.

Yang Bo?

Jiajing showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and he also seriously weighed this candidate.

Although Yang Bo has not had any record in the Ministry of War over the years, it is still stable. For example, in March this year, Xuanfu killed thirty-six leaders in the face of the invading Mongolian cavalry.

If Yang Bo is asked to temporarily preside over the border affairs of Xuanfu in the name of the imperial envoy, the Xuanfu will undoubtedly be more stable, and he nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Although he cannot get rid of Lin Qingran now, as long as he continues to suppress Lin Qingran, he will definitely be able to kill him with one blow one day, just like Yan Song and Wu Shan.

It was at this moment that a little eunuch hurried in and said, "Report, Xuanfu just sent an emergency military information!"

"Come on!" Jiajing couldn't help but stumble in his heart, and he immediately ordered.

Xu Jie and the other four men looked at the military information, and their hearts were also full of ups and downs. One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry invaded Xuanfu and sent military information again two days later. It was probably a disaster.

This war not only talks about military tactics, but also pays attention to the number of troops.

The towns on the Jiubian are far apart. Except for the reinforcements from Datong, it is probably difficult for other reinforcements from other routes to arrive. With the strength of the Xuanfu, it is naturally impossible to compete with the 100,000 cavalry of the Xuanfu.

Although Xu Jie and Yan Ne have never been involved in border affairs, they have been in the officialdom for decades and have already been clear about these things. However, they silently exchanged a look and immediately became happy.

Guo Pu's brows frowned slightly, knowing that his allies were likely to be in danger.

Originally, when the Mongolian cavalry invaded Xuanfu, Lin Qingran, as the Minister of War, had to bear certain responsibilities. But now if he suffers a great defeat, he will probably be punished.

After taking over the military situation, Huang Jin respectfully presented it to Jiajing.
