Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

The older military generals and nobles advocated the war, and they were all very motivated and could not wait to rush to Qingyi with their swords in hand.

The younger literati adults were very cautious, and their reasons were also very realistic. The national treasury in North Korea and China was already empty.

This year, the imperial court has already wiped out the rebels, and the country is already unable to make ends meet, so there is no money left for the Ministry of War.

The elders of the household department followed the group of old generals with their beards and eyes blazing, and they started to quarrel.

But what those veterans said was not wrong. In fact, in the early and last war, the two countries were fighting for their national strength, military supplies, and food.

It is said to be a war, but in fact it is an economic war. Without money, food and grass, who is willing to work for the hungry troops?
Just when I thought there were many differences, it was very lively today in Chongguang Hall. Everyone had their own polite words and no one was willing to give in to anyone else.

The old generals shouted at the top of their lungs to re-establish Emperor Wu's hegemony!

The elegant adults stroked their beards and threw over the years' account books.If you count the numbers, you will see that the deficit has basically been running in the past three years.

The old generals gritted their teeth and shouted at the top of their lungs that they would fight and that they would fight even if they lived frugally.

The adults blew their beards and stared, following Jiang Yi's side, wiping their tears in grievance and crying about poverty.

Especially the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who cried with sincerity and emotion, which was particularly touching.

"Your Majesty, even if you kill the old minister, the Ministry of Revenue will lose even a little bit of money..."

"These days there are droughts in three states and locust plagues in seven counties... Your Majesty, please think about the people of the world... Even if you have extra money, you can use it to build canals and water conservancy. This is a good deed that will benefit future generations..."

As one side was talking, there was also a fuss on the other side.

A group of old generals also wiped away their tears, holding Jiang Yi's hand and telling him about Emperor Wu's past.

"The Emperor Wu was so ambitious in the past, and now it is a God-given opportunity... Your Majesty, if you don't go now, when will you wait?"

The two sides argued endlessly.

In the end, it was Jiang Yi who slapped the table and decided, fight!

However, it can only be resolved quickly!

Jiang Yi's instructions to the Ministry of War were to take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared.

It's best to resolve this war within half a month. Even if you don't get any advantage, you can't ask others to fight back.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yi also specially issued a decree to the general guarding Chengzhou, and it will be passed along with the army when the time comes.

After settling all these matters, Jiang Yi looked over all the plans with satisfaction and felt that everything was settled, and now he was just waiting for victory.

He went down to court in a very happy mood, and was not even angry at King Wen's letter today.

"King Wen's words are quite respectful. I am not a stingy person. After the court's victory, I have to have a good chat with King Wen..."

Jiang Yi followed Chongan enthusiastically.

Chong'an was very happy to see Jiang Yi, so he smiled with him.

……

Since the preparations for this battle were a surprise attack and an unexpected attack, the news was strictly blocked, and all news about the expedition was limited to the Chongguang Hall.

Outside the court, the Red Guard also exerted his influence and assumed the role of annihilating the spies in the capital.

These days, the red-clad guards shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital, making the people of the capital tremble with fear.

However, Jiang Yi, who lives in the palace, does not know this.

Jiang Yi felt that this surprise attack was almost certain.

In order to achieve this expected rare victory against Qingyi, Jiang Yi specially chose a trustworthy and capable person with extremely high level of commanding troops for this battle.That is Li Yancheng.

Jiang Yi was originally very reluctant to give up, because it was Li Yancheng's Jingying camp responsible for the safety of Jingwei that allowed him to sleep so peacefully in the palace.

Jiang Yi had seen Li Yancheng's ability in leading troops.

That was a marshal who had the ability to command an army of 30 people, but now he was serving as the emperor's bodyguard, responsible for guarding the capital with 3 people.

Jiang Yi cherishes talents, but this time is very different.

In his opinion, this victory is already a sure thing.

When the throne of Qingyi is replaced, Lao Shanyu has just passed away, and the people inside and outside the court may be uneasy.

And the new chanyu - the former eldest prince Wu Mu, is only in his early twenties now, and is young in the eyes of others.

Even a layman like him now knows that it is a good time to attack.

So Jiang Yi still reluctantly gave up his love and planned to send Li Yancheng to the battlefield.

Let him bring him greater victory.

Regarding the Beijing Camp, Jiang Yi made arrangements after repeated thoughts. He chose a deputy general of Li Yancheng to temporarily take over the position of commander of the Beijing Camp.

Half a month has passed, and the autumn wind has a cool air. It doesn't feel cold when it blows on Jiang Yi, who has put on new clothes. It also carries the faint fragrance of osmanthus, which is very comfortable.

Jiang Yi was walking in the imperial garden. There were only a few pots of green chrysanthemums cultivated in the flower room. They were said to be particularly precious. It was rare for Jiang Yi to be in the mood to walk around, stroll around and look at the scenery in the palace.

Today I took advantage of admiring the chrysanthemums and had half a day's leisure.

Jiang Yi stood under the peach blossom tree that had finished bearing fruit, admiring the pots of green chrysanthemums, and felt that they were particularly fresh and charming.

"Go and give a basin to Lord Jade."

Jiang Yi was also in a good mood and felt very comfortable after watching everything. He happily gave this flower to a concubine he had recently fallen in love with.

The eunuchs behind him quickly held a pot of flowers and left with Jiang Yi's orders.

The autumn time passed so quickly, Jiang Yi was already a little worried about Li Yancheng and his group who were far away at the border.

He thought that if he moved faster and the battle was completed faster, he might be able to catch up with the Spring Festival when the army came back with news of success.

While Jiang Yi was enjoying his time admiring flowers, there was a turmoil in King Han's fiefdom.

Hanwang Mansion

The former Sixth Prince, now the King of Han, was sitting blankly in his seat, with a frosty complexion, blue veins on his hands, and the paper in his hands was almost crushed.

"Who asked you to deliver the letter? You are rebellious ministers and traitors. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you traitors on the spot?!"

The King of Han was very angry and said through gritted teeth.

The person in front of him was a wandering Taoist priest who blocked the door today to see him.

The King of Han was so annoyed that when he approached the palace, he took out the letter and handed it over.

That letter - the King of Han quickly tore the letter into pieces, still angrily on the ground.

This letter is full of rebellious remarks. There are red guards patrolling the four continents. If this letter is discovered, the Taoist priest and he will probably be implicated.

"My lord, you are a royal nobleman, how dare I lie to you. If there is even half a lie in this letter, I will be struck by thunder and die in front of you."

The Taoist priest steadfastly denied the treasonous talk.
