"When they enter, the northern military power will be unbalanced."

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

"The rebellion of the Beili family is already unstoppable. If King Beili is still alive, maybe the rebellion of the Beili family can still be controlled... But most likely King Beili will not survive." Yue Leiting shook his head and sighed.

"Perhaps King Beili is imprisoned by them somewhere?" Luo Xingchen said.

As long as a person is alive, there is hope. The worst fear is that the person is already dead.

"It's unlikely. Beili Tu, the elder of the Beili family, is a heroic figure. It's impossible for him to keep King Beili as a hidden danger... Keeping King Beili will not do him any good, but it will do a lot of harm. If

I am Beili Tu, and I will kill King Beili and pretend that King Beili is still alive, using this as bait to lure others to come."

Yue Leiting's tone paused, and then said: "If we really go, it will be like a moth flying into the flame."

"That is to say, whether King Beili is still 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, Xingchen, you will be staying at Qishanguan for the next few days. Don't leave for the time being. In these few days, there will be news from the court." Yue Leiting said.

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

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

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

Eunuch Wang Yun ran quickly and came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Master Zhang has arrived."

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

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

"No gift."

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

Qi Xingyun signaled, and Eunuch Wang Yun stepped forward in person, holding the zhazi in both hands and came to Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu was not polite. He raised his hand and took the note into his hand, unfolding it to look at it.

After reading it carefully, Zhang Tingyu's face gradually became serious.

"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter. According to my experience, it requires the cabinet ministers to discuss a plan together."

Qi Xingyun tapped his fingers on the table: "You will have to come up with a plan by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Naturally, major military and state affairs cannot be decided by him alone, and are left to the cabinet ministers to discuss. This is also tradition.

"Without further delay, I will take my leave now. After the discussion is completed, I will enter the palace again."

Zhang Tingyu is now the chief minister of the cabinet and has the right to convene cabinet meetings.

He left the palace and headed straight towards the location of the cabinet.

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

The main hall is the Wenyuan Pavilion, and there is an edict hanging high on the door of the pavilion, which strictly states the regulations: "This is a confidential place where officials and other people are waiting. No unauthorized entry is allowed. Violators will not be punished."

But this is aimed at outsiders, and there is no hindrance to cabinet ministers like Zhang Tingyu.

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

Jiang Wanliu has beautiful features and elegant temperament, while Li Chuncheng is dark and honest in appearance.

No matter what they look like, they are all cabinet bachelors now, which is the pinnacle of Daqi officials. Being able to reach this status means that their talents and abilities are first-class.

"Master Jiang, Master Li, the emperor has a secret letter. The matters written in it require us to meet immediately to discuss it."

Zhang Tingyu was 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 the note from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

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

No matter what their political views were, their interests were the same in the face of the chaos in the north described in Zhazi.

"The Beili family is too domineering. The imperial court thinks too much of them." Jiang Wanliu sneered. Like Feng Yueheng, he was a figurehead of the Dongling Academy faction. He represented the old literati and local people.

The interests of the wealthy gentry have never been favorable to the dependent warlords like the Beili family.

What Zhazi said about Beili's family wanting to rebel further proved that his previous thoughts were correct.

A family like Beili's family shouldn't exist, and now, Beili's wolfish ambitions 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, but Master Liu has gone to the southwest and is not in the capital. Time is tight, so we call Master Feng and we will speed up the discussion.

" Zhang Tingyu said.

"I'm going to call someone. Let's discuss it first before he comes."

Later, Jiang Wanliu sent out his closest confidants to call for help from Feng Mansion.

Before Feng Yueheng arrived, the three cabinet bachelors had a brief discussion.

In some aspects, they had some differences, but on the matter of dealing with Beili's rebellion, they rarely reached an agreement.

"Beili's family cannot be tolerated. If they dare to rebel, the imperial court will crush them with thunderous force." Jiang Wanliu waved his arms heavily, with a trace of excitement flushing on his face.

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

Their biggest disagreement now is this: which army should be sent north to support?

If the elite troops are sent north, the capital will become empty.

And if some miscellaneous troops are used, what fighting capacity will they have? It is useless to send them out, but will delay military and national affairs.

The three of them argued about this matter for a while, and then stopped when Feng Yueheng arrived.

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

"That army?" Zhang Tingyu asked doubtfully.

There are only a handful of armies that must be loyal to the king and capable of fighting.

Everything he could think of had some problems.

"Zheng Erniang of the Tujia people, her Tujia army can be used." Feng Yueheng said.

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

He had gone into a misunderstanding before. He always thought of deploying troops in the capital, but he forgot that there was still a Tujia army.

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

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

"Now that we have decided, we will report the results 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 results of the deliberations.

"Zheng Erniang..."

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