"Dear Sirs"

"How can we resolve the crisis in the northwest?"

With a stern look on his face, Emperor Yongping looked down at the civil and military officials below him and shouted:

"His Majesty"

"I think we must first understand the severity of the threat to the northwest."

"The Khoshut and Dzungar tribes were just taking advantage of the situation, the Chahar tribe was the biggest threat."

"The Yulin border army is only 50,000. It is really difficult to sustain against an enemy three times its size. We should send more troops to Yulin."

Wei Dongting, the Grand Secretary of the Eastern Pavilion and the Minister of War, was the first to speak.

"His Majesty"

"I think what Lord Wei said makes sense."

"We must dispatch reinforcements from nearby and select a general to lead them to support the Imperial Guards."

"As long as Yulin is not lost, Ningxia and Gansu are still there. If Yulin is lost, the situation in the northwest will definitely be ruined."

Zhang Tingyu, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Personnel, then stood up and said loudly

"I second the motion!"

As the civil officials watched the two big men come forward one after another, they stood out from the left without thinking. The only one who stayed in place was the civil official of Prince Yizhong's lineage, who watched coldly.

"According to Wei Qing's suggestion, from which army should we dispatch troops to support Yulin, and who should lead the troops?"

Glancing at the ministers, Emperor Yongping continued

"His Majesty"

"The troops of the imperial court, Datong and Xuanfu, suffered heavy losses in the Liaodong Campaign."

"Jizhen is out of reach, while Shanxizhen controls Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass"

"Guyuan Town is located between Ningxia Town, Gansu Town and Xining Prefecture. Do not move lightly."

"Now we can only transfer troops from the capital, and the best ones are the Beijing Camp and the Elite Camp."

Wei Dongting bluntly pointed out the deployment of the nine important border towns in Dajing, and pointed out the threats of Gansu Town and Xining Prefecture.

In fact, Ningxia Town is the border town that needs the least worrying. It has 80,000 border troops, and because of the border market exchanges with the various tribes of Western Mongolia for many years, it has a lot of money and is well-equipped. Even 300,000 Mongolian cavalry may not be able to break through Ningxia Town.

On the other hand, Gansu Town is firmly guarding the Hexi Corridor, with a small area and few people, and is poor and embarrassed. It has only 30,000 border troops and is in danger.

"Hmm?"

All the civil and military officials in the hall looked solemn. The situation in the northwest was an unsolvable deadlock, which involved the corrupt northwest border town system.

Since the establishment of the country, the northwest border town has inherited many chronic diseases of the former Ming and Shun armies, and has not been completely eliminated.

To a large extent, the northwest belongs to a local emperor who is half-free.

It is imperative to draw reinforcements from the capital, but the current problem lies in how many to draw. A total of 100,000 Beijing camps and 100,000 selected front camps have all been transferred away. Only 5,000 inner guards of the Forbidden City and the Five City Army and Horse Division are left in the entire capital. How to defend the important areas of the capital?

Even if they are willing to propose it, will the emperor and the emperor agree?

But if only half of the 100,000 troops are drawn to help Yulin, how can the danger of Yulin be completely eliminated?

Even the Yuan Conggong nobles frowned. This is not a piece of fragrant cake, but a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but a pity to abandon.

This is also the reason why they are unwilling to compete for the command position of rushing to help Yulin Town this time!

"Isn't there anyone in the court who is willing to share my worries and solve the problems for the country?"

Emperor Yongping certainly knew the crux of the matter. Looking at the silent ministers, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty!"

"I believe that Duke Qin is the only one in the country who can turn the tide."

"He traveled thousands of miles to attack the eastern desert, conquered the Shengjing of the Later Jin Dynasty, annihilated the enemy country, and made great contributions to the country. Who can compare with him?"

"Who else but Duke Qin can save the Northwest?"

Niu Jizong, the Marquis of Zhenguo, said loudly without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"Duke Qin came to the palace with a sword in hand, arrogant and domineering, not taking His Majesty seriously at all"

"How can such a rebellious person lead the army? If he leads the army to the northwest and colludes with the enemy, then our country will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Before Niu Jizong finished speaking, an abrupt voice sounded in the hall, and Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, had already questioned

"I ask that Duke Qin be punished for his crime of committing a crime against his superiors. ` ` ` !"

"I request that Duke Qin be punished for his crime of rebellion!"

""I beg you to punish Duke Qin for his crimes!"

Then, officials from both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony stood up one after another, their voices particularly in unison.

Obviously, they were all from the lineage of Prince Yi Zhong.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of all civil and military officials. The veins on the hands of Emperor Yongping on the imperial platform were bulging, and the anger in his chest had accumulated to the extreme.

At this critical juncture, apart from Jia Xuan, who else in the country could lead the army to go out and have absolute confidence in pacifying the northwest?

But Prince Yi Zhong's followers wrote a letter to stop it, and they also wanted Emperor Yongping to punish Jia Xuan. It was obvious that they would not stop until he was killed!

‘If you don't commit suicide, you won't die! '

The civil officials and the nobles focused on the righteous Left Assistant Minister Fu Bingcheng, with mockery in their eyes.

The nobles standing on the right had murderous intent on their faces, wishing to tear them into pieces.

"Step..."

A dull sound of footsteps interrupted everyone's thoughts, and then a figure in a python robe and jade belt slowly walked out, his left hand still pressing on the hilt of the Chixiao sword, his face was as sharp as a knife, his features were distinct, he looked around at the ministers, and then sneered:"Haha"

"The affairs of the world are in the hands of your Majesty and the loyal ministers. You, you are just a traitor, are you worthy to speak?"

Click!

The hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

Everyone knew the grievances and hatreds between Prince Yi Zhong and the current Majesty.

But it was the first time to hear such words openly pointing out that Prince Yi Zhong was a traitor to the country, and everyone's eyes widened.

Did Duke Qin, General Tiance, and Jinyijun Commander Jia Xuan intend to tear their faces with Prince Yi Zhong?

"you...You are so bold!"

Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was so angry that his face turned red.

"The Ministry of War, also known as the Xiaguan or Wubu in ancient times, was responsible for the selection of military officers, military records, weapons, and military orders."

"The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and military affairs. The importance of the Ministry of War is unique in the world."

"Let me ask you, if 150,000 Chahar Mongolian cavalry attack Yulin Town, how many days can the Yulin border troops survive without support?"

"Let me ask you again, if the capital mobilizes troops, how many days will it take to reach Yulin, and how much food and supplies will be needed to supply the army."

Looking at Fu Bingcheng, Jia Xuan asked in a condescending manner

"I...How would I know..."

Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was already somewhat incoherent.

The officials of the Ministry of War, who had always been sitting in the temple, were all from the imperial examinations. To put it bluntly, they were only good at talking about military affairs on paper. How could they know these actual cases?

Not to mention that they didn't know, even the Minister of War Wei Dongting might not know.

These words not only embarrassed Fu Bingcheng, but also made all the officials of the Ministry of War present change their faces.

"You can't even do the math, what's the point of being a military minister? Go home and raise pigs."

Xiuguo Bo Hou Xiaokang, who was always eccentric, sneered.

"That's it."

"What a piece of crap!"

All the nobles who founded the country mocked him, which made people very happy.

""Haha!"

The generals on the right, even the nobles from the Yuan Dynasty, laughed out loud.

In recent years, haven't the military officials made things difficult for them? Although it was not as excessive as in the previous Ming Dynasty, it was almost the same. Finally, they got rid of their anger.

At this time, Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, had already turned blue and purple, and the followers of Prince Yi Zhong were at a loss.

"Is there anyone from the Ministry of Rites?"

""According to the Dajing system, what should the Duke do?"

Jia Xuan shouted.

Li Guangdi, the Minister of Rites, gave his subordinates a look, and among the civil servants stood out a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet official uniform with a peacock patch on his chest.

"According to the imperial system, dukes and marquises are of superb rank, and their status is equal to that of princes and dukes. Dukes can enter the court without bowing, praise or prostrating without naming, and can enter the palace with swords and shoes."

The elegant middle-aged man spoke suddenly, not paying any attention to Fu Bingcheng's warning look.

Are you kidding? Fu Bingcheng is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, a third-rank official, and he is also the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Why should he be afraid of him?

Suddenly, the whole palace fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at Fu Bingcheng as if they were an idiot.

But Jia Xuan did not let him go. The corner of his mouth slightly raised a curve, and he said lightly:"Come forward and take a look at what the sword on my waist is."

"this...."

Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, took a few glances but could not see any clues about the Chixiao Sword.

All the nobles present looked like they were enjoying a good show.

Dajing had been founded for nearly a hundred years, and the civil servants had changed one after another. How could anyone remember the grace bestowed by the Emperor Taizu himself when the country was founded, not to mention the special status of the Jia family's Chixiao Sword?

"Mr. Wei"

"This man is an official under your Ministry of War, why don't you help him solve his doubts."

Jia Xuan said, glancing at Wei Dongting, the Grand Secretary of the Eastern Pavilion and the Minister of War, who was standing in the second position of the civil servants.

Wei Dongting knew that he had no choice but to step forward and replied,"This sword, Chixiao, was issued by the Emperor Taizu. Jia Xuan���"If a person holds Chixiao, he can kill the tyrant emperor, punish the traitors, clean up the government and the country, and save the country from danger."

These words were constantly echoed throughout the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and everyone heard them clearly.

Prince Yi Zhong's family was stunned in place, and even most of the civil servants showed expressions of horror. The Jia family also has such a powerful weapon?

The left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Fu Bingcheng, who was the first to bear the brunt of the cold, had a chill on his back, and the cold sweat on his forehead soaked through his black gauze hat.

"As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, I am disloyal for not being able to help you when the northwest is in danger."

"In the court, forming cliques for personal gain, not distinguishing right from wrong, and oppressing colleagues is unjust."

"How can I tolerate such a disloyal and unjust person?"

As the resounding words rang out, the Chixiao sword on Jia Xuan's waist had already come out of his body.

An unprecedented sharp cold light appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as clear and sharp as autumn water, captivating people's hearts.

"¨‖ ¨‖"Swish!!!"

Before the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War Fu Bingcheng could even utter a howl, his body and head were already severed, and his head even rolled on the ground. Blood gushed out from his neck, dyeing the supreme Golden Palace red.

""Haha!"

Jia Xuan showed a look of disdain on his face. He wiped the scarlet sword on the official uniform with peacock patches on the body of Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The scarlet blood dyed the official uniform again, and it was impossible to tell whether it was scarlet or blood.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in the palace were in an uproar.

Killing people in front of the emperor!!!

What a horrible thing!

Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, who were in the team of meritorious generals, had already turned pale and trembled all over. In the past two thousand years in China, there were only a handful of people who dared to kill people in the Golden Palace, and none of those people had a good end.

"Duke Qin!"

Emperor Yongping on the imperial platform could already feel the rage in his chest.

‘How dare he? I am still here, how dare he do this? '

In any case, it is him who is the Emperor of Dajing, not Jia Xuan. He is a third-rank official of the imperial court. He is not a stray dog on the street who can be killed at will.

But Jia Xuan didn't even ask a question, and just killed him with a sword, without any intention of taking him seriously.

At this moment, the fragile imperial dignity of Emperor Yongping was completely destroyed by Jia Xuan's behavior.

However, Jia Xuan ignored him, but faced the civil and military officials again, and the pressure of the half-step grandmaster on his body was completely released.

Boom!!!

An unprecedented pressure enveloped everyone's body, and only a few nobles and generals who practiced martial arts could barely stand.

It became extremely difficult for others to breathe, and an incredible scene appeared in front of them. Behind the figure in the python costume and jade belt, there was an endless sea of corpses and blood. What a terrible scene!

‘Swish! '

The pressure was gone in a flash, Jia Xuan looked at another third-rank civil servant among Prince Yi Zhong's followers, and said coldly:"Go back and tell that bastard, I don't care if he is a dragon or a snake, (Ma Wang's (Ma Wang's)) in the capital, keep your head down, otherwise, I will kill him"

"roll!!!"

"Yes!"

The third-rank civil servant was so frightened that he pissed himself and ran out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony without even looking back, not paying any attention to Emperor Yongping who was sitting above him.

‘"Ah, this?"

All the officials present were dumbfounded again. They knew who Jia Xuan was talking about.

But he was the fourteenth prince of the retired emperor, the Prince of Yi Zhong of the Guochao Dynasty, the focus of the competition with Your Majesty for the throne in the past. He was actually called a"dog thing". Isn't this the greatest insult to him?

Even the Emperor Yongping at the top was touched."Whether you are a dragon or a snake, you have to shrink your head. What about him, the emperor of the nine-five, the true dragon?’

"His Majesty"

"Duke Qin killed this disloyal and unjust man for the country, and we should congratulate him!"

At the same time, Zhenguo Hou Niu Jizong came out again and said

"I second the motion!"

The founding nobles all stood up.

""Hiss!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall gasped.

Are the founding family crazy? Do they know what they are doing? This is clearly an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate!

"You and me!"

Emperor Yongping took a few steps back and sat down on the dragon throne with a stiff face.

There were more than a hundred people, at least four-fifths of the nobles in the country. Most of them were people who were personally rewarded by Emperor Yongping in the Liaodong Campaign. They all stood beside Jia Xuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that with so many nobles gathered together, it would not be too much to depose Emperor Yongping.

"Your Majesty!"

Su Peisheng, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, walked to the dragon throne at some point and looked at Emperor Yongping earnestly.

Holding back the grievance in his heart, Emperor Yongping said,"Pass the decree. Duke Qin has eliminated traitors for the country. He is granted a hundred jars of imperial wine and a thousand pieces of brocade."

"Thank you , Your Majesty!"

Jia Xuan stood tall and said neither servile nor overbearing.
