The sixth year of Hongde, the first day of October.

Before dawn early in the morning, the civil and military officials of Shenjing had gathered in front of the palace gate and waited for the opening of the palace gate.

Today is the first day of the Great Zhou Empire every month.

As soon as the sky was getting dark, the gate of the palace was opened from the inside by a group of small yellow doors.

Immediately afterwards, the continuous sound of drums opened up the silence of the palace.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

With the sound of lightness and heavy drums, the ministers quickly found their place to stand.

Finally, in a melodious bell, the drums suddenly stopped, and two neat queues appeared in front of the palace gate.

Then the drum sounded again. At this time, the civil servants walked to the west and the military officers walked to the east. The civil servants walked to the left and right squads of civil servants advanced together, and entered one after another from the east and west gates of the palace.

After such a three-way drum, all the civil and military officials had already taken their seats in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After entering the hall, many civil and military ministers realized that today was very different from usual.

The Supreme Emperor, who had not appeared in the court for a long time, sat on the dragon throne with Emperor Hongde for the first time.

Everyone was surprised at first, but then they couldn't help but feel a "splitting" in their hearts.

What's wrong today!

The keen official had already noticed a little bad breath.

Therefore, after the mountain shouted, amid Qiu Shi'an's "Whoever has something to hear" sound, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into a strange silence.

Some officials who vaguely received the news of a scale claw were all lowering their heads and staring at their toes without saying a word, for fear of causing trouble.

In such silence, a one-armed hero stood up among the civil servants...

I saw Lin Ruhai and Lin Heroes walked out of the civil servants' queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Lin Ruhai!"

"Accepted!"

On the dragon throne on the high platform, Emperor Hongde's voice was without any emotion.

"I report to Your Majesty. Since the beginning of this spring, I have been ordered to inspect the people's conditions in the provinces. After half a year, I went from the southern part of northern Zhili to the west, then passed Taiyuan, then crossed Hetao to Datong. I inspected along the way. Many officials have caused trouble to the village. I have roughly prepared a list, and I hope Your Majesty will conduct a thorough investigation!"

As he said that, Lin Ruhai took out a note from the sleeve of the injured arm and presented it.

On the high platform, Emperor Hongde flipped the folds. In the long folds, one by one, one record after another, was like invisible sharp arrows, poking the hearts of many civil and military ministers present.

Emperor Hongde frowned and threw the sack on the imperial desk, "Love Fang Zheng!"

Below, the commander of the Jinyiwei commander came out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am here!"

Emperor Hongde drew the memorial on the imperial case and said, "Catch everyone back according to the list on the memorial and give me a good review!"

"Is it just arresting people?" Yang Xiuchen, the chief assistant of the cabinet below, suddenly felt a sudden heart, "Aren't the Jinyiwei sent to investigate and collect evidence first?"

Immediately, at his signal, the left Censor Wang Quan'an stood up, "Your Majesty, how can you just listen to one person's words easily..."

"What Lin Aiqing investigated is true, but he has pleaded with mercy and is considered to be the same crime!"

Before Wang Quan'an could finish his words, another voice came from the dragon throne.

Wait, this is the voice of the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing?!

Are the two emperors joining forces?!

This script is wrong!

The civil servants of Yang Xiuchen and others were a little numb.

Looking at the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, the nobles and military generals were watching the show, while the civil servants of Yang Xiuchen and others were feeling like swallowing coptis chinensis, feeling so painful that they could not speak.

Seeing that there was no movement in the hall again, Emperor Hongde on the high platform said, "Since all the ministers have nothing to report, then I will say something!"

"It is reported that the Tatar tribe in the north has gathered in large numbers, and the Tatar leader Molun intends to go on an expedition in person, with his target directed at our Datong Mansion!"

As soon as Emperor Hongde said the words, the Hall of Supreme Harmony became quiet in an instant.

Now, the nobles and military generals no longer had the intention to watch the fun.

The Tatars marched south in large numbers, and the Tatar Khan Molun personally led the expedition. It was really bad news. In order to plunder food and supplies, even the Tatar Khan personally led the expedition. How bad is the situation in the northern part of the Great Wall?

Now, unlike the small-scale battles that have occurred on the border all year round, what the Great Zhou is facing now is a battle of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!

This is a big battle!

The first battle since Emperor Hongde ascended the throne!

"Your Majesty, immediately garrison the Hetao army, the Kaiping Guards should be on strict alert, and the Datong Prefecture Army gathered to prepare for war!" Duke Wei Xu Yao immediately stepped out and said in a deep voice: "At the same time, send a message to the nine-sided towns, we must be strictly prepared to prevent the Tatars from attacking the east and west! At the same time, Shenjing must also be prepared to send troops at any time and support Datong Prefecture!"

As soon as the Duke of Wei State Xu Yao finished speaking, Yang Xiuchen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the climate this year is abnormal. I think it is because the cattle and sheep are not harvested and the Tatars are unable to feed, so this time the large gathering is achieved. I think that taking up weapons will damage the foundation of the country. After ordering the army to be on guard, we should send people to the north to negotiate and be harmonious with our neighbors, so that the majesty of our Great Zhou Dynasty will be shown!"

Zhong Shoucai, the Minister of War, also stepped forward and agreed: "Your Majesty, what the Chief Auxiliary said is very true. When a large army moves, I don't know how many people will be buried in a foreign land, let alone the cost of gold and silver! The important weapon of the army and the country is really not suitable for light action! It is best to make peace talks!"

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with the words of Lord Yang and Zhong!" Jia Jing stepped out and said: "Since the Tatar Khan has made the name of personally going to war, how could he give up?

I believe that since the Tatars are already invading the south, the court should immediately send a large army and attack hard, completely hitting the Tatars, making them afraid that they will not dare to attack border provocations again. This is a long-term solution!

Peace talks will only encourage the arrogance of the Tatar barbarians! I dare to ask Lord Yang and Lord Zhong, where do you want to put many warriors who died in battle in this move? Where do you place the people in the North? Where do you place the face of the Great Zhou?"

Niu Jizong and several other founding nobles immediately stepped out and agreed: "I will discuss it!"

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!" Wang Le, one of Emperor Hongde's confidants, said: "The taxes in various places have not been put into the warehouse this year, but the silver in the treasury is not enough to support a war!"

Hearing the report from the Minister of Revenue, Wei Jin of the Minister of Rites also accused him: "The national treasury is empty and is not enough to support a war. Could it be that you want the soldiers to go to the battlefield hungry? We should be more powerful and successful in ancient times!"

As he said that, Wei Jin bowed to the stage and said, "Your Majesty, peace talks are the best strategy!"

"Okay!" Emperor Hongde waved his hand to stop the argument below, "The Ministry of Revenue is insufficient, so let's allocate some emergency response from my treasury! Aren't you just arresting a large number of corrupt officials and just searching the house and returning the treasury!"

After hearing this, the Minister of Revenue retreated to his position.

On the high platform, Emperor Hongde stood up, "The Great Zhou ancestors teach, guarding the border and safeguarding the people, is the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom!

The Tatar barbarians have ambitions, fear power but not virtue!

Tolerance and tolerance will only make it worse, and peace talks are unprecedented precedents for the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty! This case must not be opened!

I want to gather all my strength and do my best in one battle! I spent a lifetime of blood and completely killed the Tatars, and made peace and tranquility for my people in the north!

Please help me!!!”

After Emperor Hongde finished speaking, a mountain-like shout came from the Hall of Supreme Harmony:

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty! I am willing to die for the Great Zhou!!!"
