"When they enter, the northern army will be out of balance."

"It's just, can't Beili's family fight for it?" Luo Xingchen said.

"Beili's family's rebellion is already unstoppable. If the king of Beili is still alive, the rebellion of the Beili family may be under control... But the king of Beili probably won't survive." Yue Leiting shook his head and sighed.

"Perhaps they imprisoned King Beili somewhere?" Luo Xingchen said.

As long as people are alive, there is hope. The most feared thing is that people are already dead.

"It's unlikely. The Beili family's palm prints the map of the elder Beili. He is a powerful figure. It is impossible for him to keep the king of Beili as a hidden danger... It is not good for him to keep the king of Beili. On the contrary, it will do a lot of harm. If I am Beili Tu, I will kill Beili King, then pretend that Beili King is still alive, and use this as a bait to lure others to come."

Yue Leiting's tone paused, and then said: "If we really go, it will be like moths to the flame."

"That is to say, regardless of whether King Beili is alive or not, we must treat him as dead and use this as a fact to implement the plan." Luo Xingchen thought.

"That's right, Xing Chen, you will be staying at Qishan Pass for the next few days, don't leave for now, the imperial court will come with news in just a few days," Yue Leiting said.

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Yue." Luo Xingchen nodded.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Qi Xingyun leaned over and wrote a paragraph on the paper.

Eunuch Wang Yun ran in small steps and came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has arrived."

"Let him in." Qi Xingyun raised his head and said.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty." Grand Bachelor Zhang Tingyu stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Exemption."

"Mr. Zhang Ge, the situation is urgent. I won't say much. Please take a look at this letter."

Qi Xingyun gave a signal, and Eunuch Wang Yun stepped forward in person, and came to Zhang Tingyu holding the letter in both hands.

Zhang Tingyu was not polite either, he raised his hand and took the Zhazi into his hand, unfolding it to look at it.

After looking at it carefully, Zhang Tingyu's face gradually turned serious.

"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter. According to the old minister, it is necessary for the cabinet scholars to discuss a plan together."

Qi Xingyun tapped his fingers on the table: "Tomorrow morning at the latest, you need to come up with a plan."

Naturally, he can't decide military and state affairs with one word, and it is also a tradition for the cabinet ministers to discuss them.

"It's not too late. I'm leaving now. After the discussion is over, I will enter the palace again."

Zhang Tingyu is now the chief assistant of the cabinet and has the right to hold cabinet meetings.

When he left the palace, he went straight to the place where the cabinet was located.

The office of the cabinet is in a pavilion outside the palace.

The main hall is Wenyuan Pavilion, and the door of the pavilion is hung with an oracle, which strictly enforces regulations: "A place of high confidentiality, officials, idlers, etc., are not allowed to enter without permission, and those who violate it will not be punished."

But this is aimed at outsiders, and it does not hinder the chief minister of the cabinet like Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu entered Wenyuan Pavilion and saw only Jiang Wanliu and Li Chuncheng working inside.

Jiang Wanliu has delicate features and elegant temperament, while Li Chuncheng is dark and solid, with a simple and honest appearance.

No matter what they look like, they are all cabinet scholars now, which is the pinnacle of Daqi officials, and being able to reach this position means that their intelligence and ability are all first-class.

"Master Jiang, Lord Li, the emperor has a secret letter, and we need to hold a meeting immediately to discuss the matter written on it."

Zhang Tingyu was also not polite, and went straight to the point.

"What's so urgent?" Jiang Wanliu raised his head and paused with the pen in his hand.

"This is Zhazi."

Zhang Tingyu took out a letter from his cuff and put it on the table.

Afterwards, Jiang Wanliu and Li Chuncheng both looked at it, and their expressions became serious.

Regardless of their political views, facing the chaos in the north described in the Zhazi, their interests are the same.

"Beili's family is too domineering, and the imperial court thinks too well of them." Jiang Wanliu sneered. Like Feng Yueheng, he himself is a figure in the faction of Dongling Academy. He represents the old literati, the local The interests of the gentry have never had a good impression of the Beili family's dependent military and lordship.

And the fact that Beili's family was planning to rebel against him as mentioned in the letter further proved that his previous thinking was correct.

A family like the Beili family shouldn't exist, and now, the wolfish ambitions of the Beili family are clearly revealed.

"We want to come up with a charter, but there are not enough people. We need to call Master Feng and Master Liu. However, Master Liu has gone to the southwest and is not in the capital. Time is tight. Call Master Feng, and we can speed up the discussion. "Zhang Tingyu said.

"I'm going to call someone. Before he comes, let's discuss it first."

Afterwards, Jiang Wanliu sent his confidants to Feng's residence to call for help.

Before Feng Yueheng came, the three cabinet scholars had a brief discussion.

In some respects, they had some differences, but on the matter of dealing with Bei Lijia's rebellion, they rarely reached a consensus.

"Beiliu's family cannot be tolerated. If they dare to rebel, the court will overwhelm them with a thunderbolt." Jiang Wanliu swung his arms heavily, his face flushed with excitement.

"General Yue asked for help from the imperial court. It is difficult to arrange the soldiers and horses that the imperial court can send." Li Chuncheng frowned.

The biggest difference between them now is here. Which army should they send north to support?

If the elite troops are dispatched northward, the capital will become empty.

And if some miscellaneous troops are used, what fighting power is there?It is useless to send it out, but it will delay the military affairs.

The three of them quarreled for a while about this matter, and it stopped when Feng Yueheng came.

After the three of them finished talking, Feng Yueheng stroked his chin and paced around the room. Then, he looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Zhang Shoufu, I think there is an army that is more suitable."

"Which army?" Zhang Tingyu asked doubtfully.

There are only a handful of such troops who must be loyal to the king's affairs and be able to fight.

Everything he could think of was more or less problematic.

"Zheng Erniang of the Tujia family, her Tujia army is available." Feng Yueheng said.

"Yes, Zheng Erniang's Tujia army can do it." Zhang Tingyu suddenly realized.

He had gone into a misunderstanding before, always thinking about mobilizing troops in the capital, but forgot that there were Tujia troops.

"But the imperial court has not looked for Zheng Erniang for many years, I wonder if she will still obey the imperial edict." Zhang Tingyu said.

"I will obey the imperial edict. Erniang Zheng is very loyal, and the imperial court treats the Tujia family well. At most, they have not asked them to fight in these years." Feng Yueheng firmly believed that Erniang Zheng would obey the imperial edict.

"Since we have made a decision, we will report the result of the discussion to the emperor." Zhang Tingyu said.

In the afternoon of that year, Zhang Tingyu entered the palace again.

This time, he brought the result of the discussion.

"Er Niang Zheng..."

Qi Xingyun put his hands behind his back and thought for a while.

"Send a minister to announce the decree and summon the Tujia army to go north."
