Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 317 The ending is already doomed
Military newspaper?

Wang Wen dubiously picked up the military newspapers in front of him, and read them one by one.

It can be seen from the way of wax sealing that these military reports are sent directly to the Ministry of War, and there are no top-secret military reports released to the public.

Without exception, all of them came from the passes near Datong.

Wang Wen is not a civil servant who is completely ignorant of military affairs. In his early years, he also supervised military affairs as the censor of the capital, and even participated in the Battle of Bauhinia Pass. He also has a deep understanding of the situation on the border.

The things reported in these military newspapers are not serious, they are nothing more than small groups of captives and thieves disturbing the border.

But Wang Wen read the seals one by one, but he was keenly aware of one thing.

That is, in the recent period, the frequency of thieves looting border residents has gradually increased.

And more importantly, one thing was mentioned in many military newspapers.

That is, these small groups of thieves who crossed the border were not ordinary young adults from various tribes as in previous years.

They are fully equipped, and their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary herdsmen.

Although there were not many people each time, it really caused a lot of trouble to the frontier army.

Looking at these military newspapers, Wang Wen's brows involuntarily frowned into the word Chuan.

Until, he saw the last military newspaper, from Ding Xiangbo Guo Deng, the commander-in-chief of Datong Township, which clearly stated.

"...Recently, dozens of captives and spies have been captured in Datong City. According to our army's non-receipt of reports at night, there seems to be a change in the old camp of Wala. The tribes have frequently deployed troops. I am afraid that they will not die first, and then plan Datong. Please send more troops. Three thousand elite soldiers and five thousand horses..."

Now Wang Wen couldn't sit still anymore, looked up at the emperor, and said.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you dare to raise an army to invade the border first?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling to Cheng Jing to take the report back and put it away, then restrained the smile on his face, and said.

"Guo Deng is just guessing, so he asked the court to increase troops in case of emergencies. However, in my opinion, there are nine out of ten chances that the border will not be peaceful."

Saying that, Zhu Qiyu sighed softly, with a complicated expression on his face, and continued.

"I know that the ministers in the court are discussing in private, saying that I don't want to welcome the emperor to the south, and I'm greedy for power and position, but how can they know that this matter, how can I just say it?"

"First of all, I am a hero by nature, and I will not be reconciled to this big defeat. Besides, the defeat at Zijing Pass has severely damaged Oara's vitality. If he wants to recover as soon as possible, he needs a lot of supplies."

"In the previous battle, I knew in my heart that although I, Da Ming, would welcome the Emperor back, I would not accept his endless demands. Therefore, looting was his only choice."

"With the emperor in hand, I am afraid of Da Ming, and I will not have a large-scale war with Wala, but in order to recover as soon as possible, I will definitely raise my army again and plunder the border."

Hearing this conclusion, Wang Wen finally felt a little relieved.

After all, the current Daming really can't afford a big fight anymore.

After a moment of pondering, Wang Wendao.

"Since this is the case, the imperial court ordered the border guards to strictly guard and strengthen patrols. If you encounter bandits, kill them on the spot. If you encounter a large army, call for help in time. Beware of bandits attacking us and looting our soldiers and civilians. "

This was an ordinary measure, and Wang Wen said it without thinking too much.

However, after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit today.

Thinking of the content of the military newspaper, Wang Wen suddenly understood and asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, you won't easily release him to the Supreme Emperor?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said lightly.

"At least not now!"

"First of all, this person is rebellious and rebellious. He will not be convinced if Zijingguan is defeated. Besides, he detained the Supreme Emperor, but apart from extorting some money and gold at the beginning, he got nothing. He must be unwilling. "

"With these two, even if this mission goes on a mission, there will be nothing to gain. Why bother to be this villain."

This is not Zhu Qiyu's guessing, but the truth proved in the previous life.

In fact, the decision whether the Supreme Emperor can return to the south has never been in Zhu Qiyu's hands, but in Yexian's.

First of all, if you don't want to let people go, no matter how many missions Daming sends to go there, it won't matter.

But on the other hand, if you are willing to let people go, and send three or five elite soldiers to send the Supreme Emperor to the gate of Datong City, it is impossible for the guards to refuse to accept them.

But there are always some people in the court who can't see this matter clearly and insist on messing around.

It is true that Yang Shan's eloquent tongue in his previous life did play a certain role in welcoming back the Supreme Emperor.

However, the bigger reason is that after detaining the Supreme Emperor for a year, he finally found out that he would not gain any benefits by continuing to detain him.

In addition, he was repeatedly defeated, internally and externally troubled, he did not have the strength and did not dare to completely turn against Daming, so he chose to be released.

But now, the time is not up, and the situation he is facing is far from bad enough.

Now Yexian, although his vitality is seriously injured, but his strength is still there, he will only choose to continue to plunder the border, and then use the Supreme Emperor in his hand to blackmail.

As for the real peace talks about repatriation, he probably wouldn't consider it.

This point is proved by the military newspaper just before Wang Wen!
Such frequent mobilization of the army can only show that they are not willing to die first, and want to disturb the side and take revenge.

Therefore, for Xu Bin and the others to go there, there is a high probability that they will just give away some gold and silver.

Wang Wen also figured out this section, said.

"Your Majesty, it's because the old minister didn't think carefully."

After speaking, Wang Wen picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the military newspaper in the hand of the emperor.

He suddenly remembered that according to the usual practice, this military report should be sent to the Ministry of War first, and then forwarded to the emperor.

So to say……

"Your Majesty, when it comes to the Ministry of War, Yu Shangshu is still under confinement in the mansion, and now there is another incident on the border. There are only two servants in the Ministry of War, and I am afraid that they can't take care of them, so the old minister has the audacity to ask for a favor for Shangshu. Can Your Majesty advance?" Released his restraint?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and glanced at Wang Wen thoughtfully.

Wang Wen and Yu Qian don't have a very good friendship. No matter in the previous life or now, the two people don't have the same temperament.

He's not pleading for Yu Qian's sake, he's clearly trying to test his intentions by cornering the corner.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu shook his head lightly, and said lightly.

"There won't be any major incidents on the border. First of all, the strength of the prairie tribe has not survived the winter. Even if he wants to use troops, he will have to wait a month or two. Even if it is really a large-scale attack, Datong has Guo Deng. There is Yang Hong in the government, and he can't afford any big storms."

"What's more, even though he is a barbarian from the grassland, if he wants to mobilize troops, he has to find a reason and won't fight immediately. I have already ordered Yu Gang to mobilize elite troops and horses to support Datong. Yu Qian's confinement is only half a month away. It's better to stay in the mansion."

Wang Wen let out a long sigh of relief, but he was startled in his heart. Looking at the eyes of the emperor, he became more and more awed.

When Yu Shiyue came to his house that day, he naturally told him everything that happened in front of the imperial court on New Year's Eve.

At that time, Wang Wen felt that the emperor would not lose his temper for no reason.

He will be confined to Qian's mansion, he must be afraid that Yu Qian, a stunned young man, will come out to disrupt the situation.

But at that time, Wang Wen only felt that the emperor didn't want Yu Qian to get involved in welcoming back the Supreme Emperor.

But now it seems that I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The emperor said so convincingly that he would start another border quarrel first, which shows that he had already predicted the situation on the border.

And these military newspapers just confirmed the judgment of the emperor.

So let's make an assumption.

If Yu Qian had not been grounded, then these military newspapers must have passed through Yu Qian's hands.

Although he and Yu Qian were somewhat at odds, Wang Wen had to admit that Yu Qian had quite a unique vision when working with the military.

With these military reports in his hands, he could easily deduce that Ye Xian was still ambitious and did not return the sincerity of the emperor.

That being the case, he will definitely do his best to prevent the mission from going to Oirat.

The so-called know everything, after thinking about this section, Wang Wen seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and many things were understood.

For example, the most important thing, why did the Son of Heaven still send a mission when he knew it was useless?

Wang Wen thought about the list for this mission.

Xu Bin, the censor of the right capital, Xiao Weizhen, the censor of the right deputy capital, and Zhang Fu, the governor and acquaintance, were just promoted.

They are all firmly on the emperor's side.

With Yang Shan, Ning Yanghou and others being imprisoned, the court can confirm that there are only a few officials above the third rank who insist on welcoming the emperor back immediately.

It is impossible for the imperial court to blame them for not fulfilling their mission, even if Xu Bin issued the so-called military order in advance.

You know, since the emperor went hunting north, the imperial court has also sent several groups of envoys there, but they all returned without success.

It is impossible to punish them too much just because Xu Bin and the others failed to bring the Supreme Emperor back.

However, what if, shortly after they went on a mission, they started fighting again and aggressively violated the frontier?

In the past, even if the mission could not bring back the Supreme Emperor, it must at least maintain the relationship with Wala and not continue to deteriorate.

Not being able to successfully bring back the Supreme Emperor is not a serious crime.

But provoking a war between the two countries without authorization is quite different...
