Lin Li threw a big problem to everyone!
The northern border invaded the border, the Japanese pirates disturbed the sea, the prince was in civil strife, and the three kings were thrown out. The queen mother and the cabinet were all dumbfounded!
Among the three things, border violations in northern Xinjiang are the most serious!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and drove the Mongols to the north. Emperor Chengzu's five expeditions to Mobei split the Mongolia into pieces and could no longer threaten the Central Plains.
It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty lost all its elite troops in the "Tumu Fort Incident", and the offensive and defensive exchanges between the Central Plains and Mobei were exchanged. From then on, the Ming Dynasty adopted a passive defensive posture in the face of the northern cavalry.
In recent years, northern Mongolia has been divided and cannot protect itself, so there has been little movement.
Unexpectedly, as soon as something happened on the side of Emperor Zhengde, Boyan, the prince of Mongolia, led a hundred thousand cavalry to knock on the side.
The top ten border generals jointly submitted a letter, hoping that the imperial court would come up with an idea whether to fight or to make peace, to fight or to defend. Only with the emperor's will can the top ten generals be confident.
It¡¯s just who issued this edict, which baffles everyone!
Zhengde has not died yet, but he is not dead after all. Neither the cabinet nor the Queen Mother can issue decrees on his behalf.
The cabinet and the Queen Mother did not dare to issue this decree because no one could bear this responsibility.
Less than seventy years have passed since the "Tumubao Incident", and the Mongolian army is still very powerful.
If it is a main battle but the battle is defeated, whoever takes the blame will be infamy for eternity.
If it is for peace, the lessons learned from the Song Dynasty will still be there. Whoever advocates peace will be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are both famous officials of their generation. They cherish their reputations, so they have always stood aside and kept silent.
Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, was not familiar with military matters and could not intervene.
Finally, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the Queen Mother.
Although Queen Mother Zhang¡¯s political consciousness is not high, she is not a fool either. She knows that this is a hot potato and whoever takes it will be unlucky!
"Marquis Shen, what do you think?"
Lin Li looked at the three ministers around him and said, "This is a major military and political matter, and it is also the responsibility of the cabinet. Mr. Li Ge, what do you think?"
Li Dongyang felt bitter in his heart, but he still had to stand up. Who made him the first assistant?
"It is urgent to attack the border with Northern Mongolia. The imperial court should order ten generals to defend the city, and the imperial court should dispatch nearby troops to support it. No matter what, Northern Mongolia is a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty and cannot be taken lightly!"
Yang Tinghe also said: "Japanese pirates harassing the coast should not be underestimated. I think the court should send a large army to suppress them!"
Li Dongyang continued: "As for Prince Ning's rebellion, it is still a matter of speculation. After all, he has not completely raised the flag of rebellion. A decree from the court and a verbal warning will suffice!"
Lin Li listened to the two cabinet elders talking, seemingly explaining everything clearly, but in fact nothing was resolved.
"To support the frontier, who will command the troops and who will be responsible for mobilizing food and grass?" Lin Li looked at Li Dongyang and asked.
"Japanese pirates are highly mobile and erratic on the sea. How can the army encircle and suppress them?" Lin Li looked at Yang Tinghe and said:
"The Ming Dynasty is fighting on two fronts. Can the national treasury afford it?"
The two cabinet ministers were silent. They were both civil servants, so naturally they did not understand military matters. What was even more troublesome was that not many people in the imperial court were proficient in military matters!
"In the "Tumu Fort Incident", the Ming Dynasty lost 200,000 elite soldiers. More importantly, all the soldiers who knew how to fight and could fight were killed.
"The Ming Dynasty Honorable Group, those princes and princes who knew how to fight, were all killed and injured, and the only ones left behind were incompetent people.
¡°In today¡¯s imperial court, there is no one who can fight.
The Queen Mother also saw that the current situation could not be solved by relying on the civil servants in the cabinet alone.
"Sir, in your opinion, how should we deal with these matters?"
Lin Li composed himself, and then said to the Queen Mother: "To the Queen Mother, the most urgent task now is to calm people's hearts and determine the candidate for the successor, and then in the name of the new monarch, deploy troops and generals to quell the rebellion!"
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "Master Shenhou, do you want to imitate the battle to defend the capital?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of all opinions, the Zhengtong Emperor's younger brother succeeded to the throne, and he defended the city with all his strength, thus preserving the Ming Dynasty.
"In these troubled times, people's hearts are in confusion. Only by first determining the supreme position of Ding can the civil and military forces of the dynasty be unified in dealing with the outside world!" Lin Li said.
Li Dongyang asked: "Who does the Lord Shen want to take the throne? Is it the Lord Shen who becomes the emperor yourself?"
Lin Li looked at the Queen Mother and the cabinet elders, and said: "If I want toIf you don't agree to become emperor, why don't you agree? "
Mao Cheng came out at this time and said: "The Shenhou is the son of Xianzong, and he is also the eldest person in the Xianzong bloodline. There are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants. The succession of the Shenhou is natural!"
"Qianqing Palace" instantly became quiet, and the Queen Mother and the two pavilion elders' breathing became heavier.
Lin Li laughed and said: "I know that there are too many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty who don't want me to be the emperor. However, the court is in troubled times, and I cannot sit idly by and ignore it!"
In the end, Lin Li proposed a compromise, making Zhu Houhuo, a branch of the royal family, the emperor. However, because of his young age, the Queen Mother lowered the curtain and Shenhou took charge as regent.
To put it simply, the three-year-old Zhu Houhao was made emperor, but because he was too young to handle government affairs, the Queen Mother and Lin Li were appointed to assist him.
The Queen Mother listens to the government behind the curtain, and Lin Li serves as the regent as the prince, taking charge of important military affairs!
In the end, the cabinet did not agree to this plan.
Because the cabinet did not get any benefits, there was no emperor, but there was a Queen Mother Zhang who listened behind the curtain, and a regent who was in charge of military affairs!
It¡¯s surprising that they agreed!
When things were at a stalemate, Emperor Zhengde's personal eunuch Zhang Yong suddenly ran over.
"My lords, Your Majesty is awake and wants to see your lords!"
Everyone was startled and ran quickly towards Nuange. Only Lin Li was at the end and had doubts, so he walked a little slower!
When Lin Li walked into Nuan Pavilion, he saw Emperor Zhengde sitting up slowly on the bed, Queen Mother Zhang crying next to him, and three ministers kneeling in front of him!
"Uncle!" Zhengde called Lin Li weakly. Lin Li ran to Zhengde's bed without hesitation and held his hand!
"Zhengde is in a very weak state at this time, and the toxins in his body have penetrated into his bones. It is difficult for gods to save him. Now he is just getting better!"
"I have heard the quarrel you just had outside!" Zhengde said weakly, and then everyone in the room was embarrassed.
Before the emperor died, he discussed the issue of his successor, but the emperor heard it. It¡¯s strange that it¡¯s not embarrassing!
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has already gone to call the imperial doctor. You should take a rest first!" Queen Mother Zhang said to Zhengde with concern.
Zhengde shook his head gently and said: "My body is failing, but fortunately my ancestors have blessed me and let me wake up at the last moment so that I can leave the last edict!"
The emperor¡¯s last edict is naturally his posthumous photo!
"Master Yang, come and plan the move. I tell you to remember it!" Zhengde said to Yang Tinghe.
"I obey the decree!" Yang Tinghe got up from the ground, came to the desk, spread out a blank imperial edict, and got the pen ready!
Zhengde glanced around at the people around him, and finally looked at Yang Tinghe and said: "My physical strength can't last long. To make a long story short, Master Yang can polish his pen by himself!"
Yang Tinghe¡¯s eyes were moist, knowing that this was the last time Zhengde spoke to him.
"I am ashamed of my late emperor because I have no heirs and no heirs. I now pass the throne to Zhu Houcong, the crown prince of the Xing Dynasty. However, because of his young age, I specially appoint Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Mao Cheng as ministers of Gu Ming. The emperor's uncle Tiedan Shenhou will be the regent to assist the new emperor. To provide an overview of major military and political affairs, you will need your full assistance in the future!"
