The cabinet ministers were summoned overnight to discuss the northern border.
Zhu Di sat majestically on the dragon chair.
High above, overlooking the audience.
The aura is so strong that it is completely different from the humbly frolicking in front of Lu Lin before.
The ministers were all dumbfounded.
Isn't this the good news that the general Zhenglu wiped out 3 Tatar forwards and won a complete victory?
Now why are we discussing the annihilation of the entire army in the northern border? Who is willing to send an envoy to the northern border to negotiate a peace?
They also didn't receive news that the northern border soldiers were defeated.
Zhu Di became angry when he saw them like this. These are the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and the lifeblood of the entire Ming Dynasty is in the hands of these people.
But what about them?
He didn't even notice Qiu Fuhui's defeat.
It's fine if you don't notice it, but Lian Zhen told them that they are still suspicious.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as a young man with a weak crown.
What a bunch of goofs.
Zhu Di was ashamed and disappointed.
Don't bother to explain to them.
"This news will come back in a few days. Now the peace negotiation is imminent. The focus of this peace negotiation is to delay the time. Moreover, the peace messenger is very dangerous and may never return. Which love minister is willing to go?"
Zhu Di's voice fell.
Fengtian Hall was suddenly silent, so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Zhu Di sneered from the bottom of his heart, he was extremely stupid, greedy for life and afraid of death, this was his Ming court.
"That's all!"
"This matter was originally my fault. It was I who sent Qiu Fu to the expedition, which caused the situation that is difficult to deal with today."
"My fault, I shouldn't let Zhu Aiqing clean up the mess."
Zhu Di waved his hand in disappointment, let them all back down.
But at this time, Zheng He, the chief eunuch, suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I request you to go to Tatar as an envoy."
When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.
Staring closely at Zheng He, he was very excited.
Although Zheng He was an eunuch, he followed Zhu Di as early as when he was King Yan.
He is delicate in mind, slick in all aspects, and his eloquence and knowledge are no worse than those of the ministers present.
If he wasn't a eunuch, he would definitely be able to do a great job.
It's just that he was young, so he was asked to die...
"Zheng He, do you know that this trip is dangerous?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the slave knows, but a slave should share the worries of His Majesty and plead for the people."
"The slave will not disgrace his mission, even if he dies, he will delay until the reinforcements arrive."
Zheng He spoke impassionedly and without fear.
All the ministers present blushed and lowered their heads in shame.
it is good.
Ok.
The Ming Dynasty had Lu Lin's talent, which should be passed down from generation to generation
With Zheng He as a minister, the prosperity will never stop.
Zhu Di personally went down to help Zheng He up, and told him that he would not accept military orders abroad, and that if he encountered any disagreement with the original intention of the imperial court, he could kill him first and play later.
If you want anything, just play it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will do everything in its power to respond to your requests.
There is only one thing he has to do, and that is to hold the Tatars and prevent them from breaking through the city.
Zheng He took the order and left.
After leaving Fengtian Palace, he took the soldiers sent by Zhu Di to him, changed into plain clothes at the gate of the palace, and galloped to the north on horseback.
After Zheng He left, Yao Guangxiao reported back and forth that he had sent people to notify Beiping to send troops to support the northern border.
……
On the fifth day after Zheng He left Nanjing, battle reports came from the northern border. Qiu Fu led the army deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, and was ambushed. The [-] elite army was wiped out.
There are now less than [-] soldiers defending the city in the northern border.
When the cabinet minister Yang Shiqi received the news, he fell off his chair in fright.
"What? Qiu Fu really lost?"
Finished!
Yang Shiqi scrambled to his feet, straightened his clothes and was about to enter the palace.
Qiu Fu was defeated.
The North is over.
The people of the north are finished.
But he hasn't left the house yet.
Zheng He has sent back the news that he has arrived in the northern border, repaired a letter, and handed it to the Tatar leader to negotiate a peace.
The Tatar leader accepted the peace agreement and has not yet launched an attack on the northern border.
