Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

The Great Yuan Empire is not the only khanate like the Jin Kingdom. The other two countries see that the Jin Kingdom has taken advantage of Dagan, and the northwest frontier of Dagan is extremely empty.

Several civil servants hesitated for a moment, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if only the northeast border is in trouble, it is only a local disaster, but if the frontier troops are transferred from the northwest, the northwest frontier defense will also be weakened. In case of accidents later... "

At the end of the speech, the voice became smaller and smaller, but Li Qian understood the meaning.

If there is only a gap, there is still room for Dagan to send troops continuously to drive out the enemies in the future.

But if the two deadly frontiers of the northwest and the northeast are all breached, then the current Dagan may be in danger of subjugation!

"I know."

Li Gan nodded silently. After all, he had never experienced such an accident, and he was still a little impatient just now, subconsciously wanting to pile up all the available power at present.

But doing so now will not solve the urgent need of the imperial court, but may reveal even greater flaws.

He took a deep breath and wanted to understand the current situation. In this kind of matter, Li Qian would not force some unreasonable measures for his own face.

"In addition, according to the military newspaper, Jiayuan Pass still has [-] soldiers ready to fight, plus the soldiers and horses in the rest of the pass..."

Li Gan paused for a moment, recalling the memorials he had dealt with this year about the Northeast Frontier Fortress, and said a figure: "We can still gather 130,000 troops."

It sounds like a lot, but this is the most ideal situation, so there are so many soldiers who can fight. No one knows how many people are left now. We have to wait for the follow-up information to come to the capital.

Moreover, if these people are to be used, they will face a big problem.

Many officials below were silent for a moment, and finally Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to mobilize these 130,000 troops. The imperial court still has to send people to the border to lead the army to resist the captives."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he didn't sit down, but just looked at Li Gan steadfastly, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Li Gan knew what he meant, and he also knew what other ministers thought.

In fact, when he had been sitting in the palace for a long time, Li Qian had already thought about this very heavy question for him.

With such a big change, no matter whether Wu Sangui rebelled openly or not, he is no longer credible. The court will definitely send someone to take over the huge number of remnants and coordinate the defense against the golden soldiers.

But who to send?

Li Qian immediately thought of the generals who were leading the army in Wu, but after a little thought, he ruled them out.

The frontier army guards the frontier all the year round, they are all arrogant and brave generals, they will not obey the sky and the earth, with the support of Wu Sangui, the boss of the local army, these forbidden army commanders may not be able to subdue these people after passing.

And it is also possible to form a situation where the new will confront the old!
Under the premise of the Jinbing invasion, such a situation is undoubtedly very fatal.

If you want to send someone, you have to have a very authoritative person who can completely suppress Wu Sangui.

There are not many such people in the court, and there are only a few that Li Qian thinks of, the most important of which are Li Yuan, Yang Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin. …

But if they were really asked to go out to lead the army, Li Qian was quite repulsive.

These three people are not the characters who keep their own law and order. They are fairly honest in the capital now, but it may not be so if they really go out.

When they successfully fought against the invading enemy and accumulated prestige, the original balance under high pressure was destroyed. In addition, their imperial family fortunes were all outside.

But right now, the three of them are indeed the best candidates!
Li Gan's breathing was a bit heavy. On the one hand, it was the Jin soldiers who might drive straight in, and on the other hand, it was Li Yuan and others who might rebel...

Since he just figured this out, he has been immersed in difficult choices.

Is it more important to defend against the invading Jin soldiers, or to guard against Li Yuan and the others?

But right now it was obvious that there was no time for him to continue to ink. Li Gan raised his head and looked around for a week. He had found that the ministers were all looking at him.

"It is indeed necessary for the predecessors to go to Jiayuan Pass."

Li Gan paused, then turned to look at Li Yuan and the other three on the other side: "Uncle Emperor, General, Generalissimo, who among the three is willing to take on this important task, wipe out the enemy and take back Dingyong Pass."

After his words fell, the air in the hall froze for a moment, and the crowd of civil servants was a little restless. The three Yang Jian who were called immediately stood up and replied in unison: "The minister is willing to go."

In the end, Li Qian still made a choice.

If only from the perspective of personal desires, Li Gan might be willing to keep the three of them in the capital.

But the current situation is not only related to whether Li Gan's throne is stable, but also the safety of the country and the nation.

Li Qian, who had this memory of his previous life, subconsciously thought of all the horrific tragedies that Houjin had done after he entered the customs.

And now this kind of thing may happen again... This is what Li Qian absolutely does not want to see.

Between family, country and individual, Li Gan finally made a choice.

But after the choice, there is now a new dispute.

There are three people who are eligible to go to Jiayuan Pass, which one should I choose?
Maybe the generals themselves don't like wars, but they have to admit that because of wars, they have them, and because of wars, they have channels for promotion.

As for the three of Li Yuan, if they can command to repel the invasion of the golden soldiers and regain the pass defense, they will definitely win extremely high prestige and momentum!

Moreover, the three of them are also faintly competing. If they don't catch up with this opportunity, they will probably be opened up by their opponents by a big gap.

Therefore, the tone of the three of them was extremely firm this time.

The turmoil among the civil servants on the side was even worse. It seemed that everyone had different opinions, but they all maintained good restraint at this time.

Li Gan looked at the three people, and was silent for a moment, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end.

This time was different from the last expedition to Wu, it was impossible for the three of them to go out at the same time.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the three of them have internal strife outside, it would be better not to let them go at all.

And if only one person goes out, and the remaining two are in the capital, it can also be used to limit the "ambition" of the person who goes out, so that he does not dare to fight hard.

But if all three of them go out...then it will be like the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds are flying. …

Li Qian was silent, and Li Yuan and the others were also silent, as if they were waiting for His Majesty's decision.

At this time, there is really nothing to say. Li Gan believes that no matter which one he chooses, the other two will probably not agree.

This may be the so-called one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.

"Your Majesty, the detailed military report has not been delivered at this time, and the situation may not necessarily collapse to such an extent."

Qin Hui suddenly opened his mouth, which attracted everyone's attention. He continued: "It's better to send Zuo Weiwei north to listen to the news, and at the same time act as a deterrent. The imperial court will send letters to the Ming and Han countries, and ask the two countries to take care of them."

"If the Kingdom of Jin is still rational, it will definitely retreat on its own."

The location of the northeast border is between Ming and Han, and this proposal is indeed feasible.

But in Li Qian's view, this is more of Qin Hui's wishful thinking.

The Dagan court may still have some control and deterrent power over other vassal states, but its influence on Qin, Han and Ming... is almost nothing.

Ming and Han might help to deter Jin because of their moral sympathy, but they might not be able to send troops to the extent that they might even be happy to see Jin soldiers go deep into the hinterland of the court.

Not to mention anything else, if the golden soldiers were really brought to the vicinity of the capital, as long as there was a slogan of raising troops to serve the king, they could lead a large number of soldiers and horses directly to the capital.

Moreover, the Han and Ming countries also had their own opponents on the grasslands, and there was also a steady stream of customs and defense pressures.

Therefore, you can't rely on them to resist the Jinbing invasion this time, you can only rely on yourself.

It's just that although Qin Hui's words were unreasonable, Li Gan temporarily eased the current deadlock.

He nodded slightly and said, "What Prime Minister Qin said makes sense."

"Wu Sangui, the chief soldier, is also a battle-worthy general selected by the emperor. Although he has lost Dingyong Pass, he has left tens of thousands of battle-worthy soldiers for the imperial court."

Having said that, Li Gan paused for a moment, even he himself didn't really believe in such nonsense.

High emotional quotient: leave behind vitality.

Low EQ: Don't fire a single shot, run away quickly.

"It would be a good thing if Wu Sangui could take advantage of the terrain of Jiayuan Pass to keep the Jin soldiers out of the pass."

The ministers nodded slightly when they heard the words, even the three of Li Yuan did the same.

But only they know what they think in their hearts.

A person who couldn't stop the Jin soldiers when he was stationed at Dingyong Pass, should he be expected to block those invading enemies through Jiayuan Pass, which is smaller than Dingyong Pass?

"However, even if General Wu stops the Jin people, Dingyong Pass must be taken back again."

Li Gan's voice sank, and he continued: "We must send more troops in advance."

The ministers nodded again as they should.

"Decree to Zuo Weiwei to set up camp and head to Jizhou as soon as possible, and pass the decree to Longxi to make the government soldiers prepare for battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Several relevant civil and military officials received orders one after another.

Next, Li Qian's tone was a bit harsh: "Decree to Wu Sangui, let him report the current battle situation as soon as possible! Everything is detailed, and it must be sent back to the court as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Hui received the order again.

Li Qian glanced at the three Li Yuan at the front again, and then said: "Since that's the case, this discussion will stop here first, and the Qing family will go back to the Yamen first."...

"After the detailed military report is sent to the capital, we will discuss countermeasures."

These people may have heard Li Gan's implication, but they didn't say anything at this time, they just accepted the order one after another.

Under Li Qian's gaze, they left Wenhua Palace one by one.

Li Gan also knew that no matter who he chose, the other two would probably not accept it, and the only way to do it was to let the three of them decide who was the best...

Thanks to the Jingyan, almost all court officials knew the important news.

They may not know the content of the military newspaper, but they must know that a major event has occurred in the court recently, and it is still a major war.

Although some people in the court were panicking now, but later everyone saw that the bigwigs who participated in the discussion that day did not move, and gradually restored calm as usual.

However, under this calmness visible to the naked eye, there is a fierce and turbulent undercurrent.

Wenyuan Pavilion, the right-hand house.

There are only Qin Hui and Wang Ciweng in the house today, neither Wan Qixi nor Qin Xi are here.

"Qin Xiang, which adult should we support?"

Wang Ciweng asked with some concern: "The three of them seem to be cruel this time. No matter who they support, they will probably conflict with the other two..."

"Who do you support..."

Qin Hui looked out the window with his hands behind his back, with a dazed expression.

For some reason, since the sutra feast that day, he always felt restless, but after careful consideration, he couldn't think of any problems.

"To be honest, no one wants to support the truth."

Qin Hui's voice was a little low, it wasn't a matter of breaking with the other two, but he also saw a crisis from it.

If one of them really grows stronger, the balance among the three will be broken... The court's relatively stable situation may be about to undergo a major change.

But who else can we rely on if we don't rely on them now?

"It's better not to support anyone."

Wang Ciweng hurriedly followed, "As long as you don't take action, Prime Minister Qin, the three of them will dare not offend us."

Qin Hui didn't comment on this, but asked another question: "How is Da Sima's condition?"

A bit of regret appeared on Wang Ciweng's face when he heard the words: "I heard that it is getting worse and worse, and I can hardly get out of bed."

Qin Hui frowned, in his opinion, Li Jing was the best candidate.

In fact, not only him, but also many civil officials in the court think so.

Li Jing was born as a general, and later became Minister of the Ministry of War. His ability to march and fight is not to mention.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, he also has a great voice in the promotion and transfer of the generals of the frontier army, and he is also responsible for coordinating supplies for the frontier army... With such an identity, his prestige is enough.

The most important thing is that he is a civil servant, not a military general. The Ministry of War only has the right to deploy troops, but not to train them. Civil officials will not be afraid of him.

This is simply the perfect candidate.

But alas, he suddenly fell ill and was very ill.

"Have you found out about Da Sima's illness?"

Qin Hui frowned, turned around and looked at Wang Ciweng: "Why is he... so ill?"

Wang Ciweng understood, and immediately said: "According to the imperial doctor, Da Sima suddenly contracted a cold syndrome, and the damp and cold entered his body, hurting the lung meridian, so he couldn't get sick."

Not pretending to be sick, but real sickness.

But Qin Hui's frown deepened: "There are not many cloudy and rainy days these days, why does the damp and cold enter the body?"

"Has there been any suspicious people in Da Sima's mansion in recent days?"

Wang Ciweng's expression changed: "President Qin, you mean..."

Qin Hui's subordinates twirled the books in their hands subconsciously: "There are spies from the Kingdom of Jin sneaking into the capital and murdering Da Sima at this critical moment."

Wang Ciweng paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't know about this matter, the servants of the guards in the Da Sima's mansion are all his own soldiers who fought with him in the past, so it is not easy to inquire about the news..."

"It's not easy to inquire..."

Qin Hui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then it looks like a traitor."

Wang Ciweng lowered his head and remained silent, but there were already three figures in his heart...

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the duty room.

"Qin Prime Minister, Your Majesty has summoned you to discuss matters in Ziwei Hall."
