A storm was brewing in the capital. At the same time, an urgent letter had been sent to the cabinet.
At this moment, only Yan Song and Xu Jie were left in the cabinet.
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that there must be a cabinet elder on duty in the cabinet every night to deal with urgent matters.
It was obvious that the letter tonight was a very urgent matter.
At this moment, Yan Song was the second assistant in the cabinet, second only to the first assistant, Yang Tinghe.
Xu Jie was just an ordinary cabinet elder in the cabinet. He had no power in front of Yan Song.
At this moment, Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe was tied up on the Golden Water Bridge. He, Yan Song, had the final say in the cabinet.
Yan Song received the urgent letter, which recorded the defeat of Da Tong.
The 300,000-strong Tartar army of Anda had already arrived at Datong Prefecture, and the garrison of Datong Prefecture only had 50,000 people. Anda had led the army to invade Datong, and the commander of Datong, Zhang Da, and the deputy commander, Lin Chun, had both died in battle!
Da Tong Prefecture was in danger, and they urgently needed reinforcements!
After Yan Song read the secret letter, he panicked.
Although he was a cabinet assistant, he was actually a real idiot. Other than bootlicking, he did not know anything else.
However, although this matter was a crisis for Da Ming, it was his personal opportunity.
In the past, everything was decided by Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe, but now that Yang Tinghe was not around, wasn't that his world?
He still remembered that a few days ago, there was a person called Chou Luan who came to his residence to visit the pier.
This person was Qiu Yue's grandson and was conferred the title of Xianning Marquis. As a famous general, he should have some skills.
Thinking of this, Yan Song did not show this important secret letter to the Emperor. Instead, he made his own decision and announced the appointment.
Ren Chouluan led the three thousand Divine Arms Battalion and one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers to Datong to resist the invasion of the Tartar Anda.
After Yan Song released this secret order, he felt a little proud.
Da Tong's commander was not a small official. He was a second-grade official.
Now, even such an important position had been given to him. He felt that he had won another victory in his battle with Yang Tinghe.
However, he did not know that because of his decision, the next person to be executed would be him.
At the same time, the Yan Faction that had been entrenched in the imperial court for several years would be eradicated!
Xu Jie stood at the side and watched all of this coldly.
……
The next day, the light of dawn.
The court officials entered the palace through the Meridian Gate. When they reached the Golden Water Bridge, they were surprised to see the cabinet chief, Yang Tinghe, tied to a pillar!
All the officials in the court were shocked. They could not believe their eyes.
The Minister of Rites, Mao Cheng, stepped forward to untie Yang Ting He."Lord Yang, what's going on?! Who was it? How dare he kidnap the Prime Minister?!”
Just as Mao Cheng approached Yang Tinghe, the two barbarians from the East Chamber stood in front of him.
"Lord Mao, we kidnapped him.”
Cao Zhengchun slowly walked over from the side, smiling as he looked at the exasperated Mao Cheng.
"You! You eunuch! How bold! I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty deal with it!”
Mao Cheng glared fiercely at Cao Zhengchun, his face full of anger.
Cao Zhengchun smiled and said," Although I kidnapped him, without His Majesty's order, I wouldn't dare to make a move on Lord Yang. Don't you think so?"”
"You!" Mao Cheng's expression changed. If this was really an order from His Majesty, then…
Mao Cheng didn't dare to continue thinking.
At this moment, a middle-aged man pushed the crowd aside and rushed in front of Yang Tinghe, his face full of shock.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
This person was the number one genius of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen!
Yang Tinghe opened his eyes with difficulty. When he saw his son in front of him, he finally smiled."It's good that you're fine. Leave…leave quickly…"
Before Yang Tinghe could finish speaking, he fainted again.
Yang Shen was extremely sorrowful, but before he could speak, Cao Zhengchun said,"Milords, don't surround us here. Hurry up and go to court. If you're late, you can't bear the responsibility.”
The surrounding officials 'expressions turned cold as they hurriedly walked towards the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
When everyone was standing, it was almost time.
Zhu Houzhen walked out from the back of the palace, and the young eunuch hurriedly saluted.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"Long live my emperor!”
All the officials knelt in front of Zhu Houjin respectfully.
Zhu Houzhen sat on the dragon throne and waved his hand."If you have a book, report quickly. If you don't, withdraw from court."
Ever since Zhu Houzhen had ordered the East and West Factories to take action against Yang Tinghe, he had been pondering how to take on the position of Great Ming Emperor.
During the reign of Emperor Jiajing, famous ministers came out in large numbers.
There were Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Yan Song and Wang Shouren in the court.
Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Yu Dayou, Wang Chonggu, Hu Zongxian, and the others had also entered the sea of officials.
It could be said that the entire Jiajing Dynasty was the true golden age of the Ming Dynasty.
However, under this golden age, there was a deep danger.
Originally, Zhu Houjiu had wanted to completely resolve the remaining problems of the Grand Ceremony today, but a minister had rushed in from among the officials, and his words had disrupted Zhu Houjiu's thoughts.
"Your Majesty! Da Tong Prefecture is in danger!"
"What happened in Da Tong?" Zhu Houjin frowned.”
"Your Majesty, the Tartars led 300,000 troops to Da Tong Prefecture. Da Tong's commander Zhang Da and deputy commander Lin Chun both died in battle!”Xu Jie kneeled in front of Zhu Houjie and cried out in grief.
" What?!" Zhu Houjin's expression changed drastically!
Da Tong Prefecture was only eight hundred li away from the capital. Once Da Tong Prefecture fell, the Tartar army could march straight into the capital!
