Emperor Jiajing glanced at Luo Xin, and said calmly: "You all read the military newspaper just now, now let's discuss the war in the north."

As soon as Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, Zou Yinglong came out and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, the war in the north is an important matter in the court. I believe that Luo Xin is just a member of the Imperial Academy, and his seniority is not enough to participate in such important military affairs."

Xu Jie frowned imperceptibly, and cursed inwardly: "Idiot!"

The corner of Gao Gong's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what he meant, but there was a hint of sarcasm in Ma Fang's eyes.Emperor Jiajing's expression was the strangest, a feeling of being overjoyed.However, Zou Yinglong didn't pay attention to this, he only knew that Xu Jie wanted to suppress Luo Xin, so he was determined not to let Luo Xin participate in the government affairs, so he turned to Luo Xin and said:
"Luo Xin, the old man admires your knowledge, but the military and state affairs are not trivial, and the old man is just talking about the facts, please don't be offended."

The eyes of all the officials were focused on Luo Xin either explicitly or secretly. Everyone knew that Zou Yinglong was suppressing Luo Xin on Xu Jie's behalf, and they all wanted to see how Luo Xin would respond.This can be said to be the first time that Luo Xin has made a voice in the court. If he is suppressed for the first time, then Luo Xin is just a mud that cannot support the wall. If something happens to him in the future, there is no need to protect him. up.

but……

Luo Xin's expression made Baiguan feel very strange, and saw Luo Xin cup his hands towards Zou Yinglong, with a sincere smile on his face and said:

"Don't blame! Don't blame!"

Zou Yinglong had a smug look on his face and said, "It's good not to blame, I'm doing it for your own good. Military and state affairs are related to the safety of the country..."

Xu Jie's eyelids twitched, knowing that Zou Yinglong could not continue.Cursing inwardly, this old fool knows how to use Luo Xin's Hanlin identity to suppress Luo Xin, why did he forget Luo Xin's other identity?Isn't this playing yourself like a monkey?Immediately said to Zou Yinglong:

"Lord Zou, have you forgotten that Luo Hou is also a Marquis of Wu?"

"what?"

Zou Yinglong came to his senses at this moment, his face was flushed red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.Looking at Luo Xin, seeing the same smile that Luo Xin said just now, "No blame! No blame", he felt blood on his face.Luo Xin's smile was not strange, it was clearly looking at monkeys.

At this time, Ma Fang said indifferently: "Luo Hou was able to lead two thousand cavalry across the grassland and cut off the head of Alatan Khan. He is not qualified to discuss military and state affairs, but you?"

This time, sweat dripped from Zou Yinglong's forehead.Just at this time, Emperor Jiajing made another cut.

"Luo Xin is not qualified to participate in military and state affairs? Now that Huang Taiji is almost in the capital, are you still concerned about whether he has the qualifications? Let me tell you that there are two people in this world who are most qualified to participate in military and state affairs. One is me, and the other is Luo Xin."

All the officials were stunned, even Xu Jie showed a trace of surprise on his face, but Gao Gong and Ma Fang looked calm.Seeing the calm faces of Gao Gong and Ma Fang, Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:

"Is there something I don't know about?"

Emperor Jiajing glanced majestically at all the officials, and said calmly: "Half a year ago, I and Luo Xin thought that Huang Taiji would send troops to the border. If I hadn't been prepared, Huang Taiji would have already reached the capital by now. "

All the officials were shocked when they heard this, and they looked at Luo Xin differently.One by one secretly said:

"No wonder His Majesty strengthened the defense of the northern border two months ago."

At this time, all the officials ignored Luo Xin's identity as a great Confucian, and all remembered Luo Xin's identity as Marquis of Wu.Moreover, Luo Xin was able to foresee the war in the north half a year ago, which shows that Luo Xin has far-reaching vision.

However, their hearts were not at all relaxed, because the war in the north was very unfavorable. This was the case when Emperor Jiajing was well prepared, and the grassland army broke through the city all the way. downwind.

In such a situation, even if Luo Xin is a famous general of the generation, can he really clean up this corrupt situation?
At this moment, Zou Yinglong had already returned to the court in embarrassment, and Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie and said:
"Xu Qing, please tell everyone about the Northern Memorial."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Jie bowed, and then went out of the class and said to the officials: "Xuanfu Jiang Yingxiong rashly led a large army out of Tuerling, approaching Yinlong River, and fought against Huangtaiji in the Yinlong River. The 2 army was defeated in just five days, either killed, captured, or escaped. In the end, Jiang Yingxiong fled back to Datong with only [-] people, losing [-] troops.

Later, Jiang Yingxiong was transferred to Jinyang, and Datong's reinforcements went to Datong, but they were surrounded by Huang Taiji. Jinyang and Datong lost a total of 20 troops, and Jinyang and Datong's reinforcements had to return to Jinyang and Datong.However, Huang Taiji led an army of [-] to bite the Datong reinforcements tightly, and approached the city of Datong.At this time, because Datong has lost most of its troops, and the number of troops left behind in Datong is less than [-], Datong is facing the danger of being destroyed. "

All the border gates above the court changed color. Many of them had experienced the incident of Alatan Khan's troops approaching the city. Now thinking of Huang Taiji's frequent approaching the city, they couldn't help feeling flustered.But when I thought about the fact that Alatan Khan's army came to the city, didn't he finally block Alatan Khan with the thick walls of the capital?

As long as you persist until winter comes, Huang Taiji will also retreat.

but……

At this time, Xu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some difficulty: "This time Huang Taiji sent troops and shouted a slogan, that is... that is..."

Xu Jie couldn't say it with difficulty, Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Is there anything you can't say, isn't it that you want to cut off my head and avenge his father?"

Baiguan was shocked, and this time he really panicked.The last time Alatan Khan came to the city, it was just to rob, but this time the nature is different. This is because Huang Taiji wants to avenge Alatan Khan, and maybe he will attack the city like a madman.

Then... can the capital be defended?
Xu Jie wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and continued: "Datong is the last barrier of the capital, but today's Datong is not only short of troops, but also seriously short of equipment. These days, Huang Taiji is attacking the city day and night, and the equipment consumption is serious. Moreover, Huang Taiji has already sent out the words of slaughtering the country, he said that if he breaks through a city, he will slaughter the whole city, and if he breaks the capital, he will slaughter the capital. He will slaughter the entire Ming Dynasty."
