What?
The housekeeper had just said this.
Whether it is Zhang Zhengming or Song Gongwen.
He stood up suddenly, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
The grassland tribal army suddenly marched south, but there was no sign of this beforehand.
"Where did you hear this news?" Song Gongwen asked without hesitation.
"It's an urgent military report, delivered eight hundred miles away," the steward said. "The messenger entered the capital not long ago and headed straight for the Ministry of War. The whole street knows about it, and the people have gathered to discuss it."
An urgent military report from eight hundred miles away?
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other.
Through the housekeeper's words, they already knew that this news was definitely not false!
And more importantly, he was delivering military newspapers while talking on his way.
This shows that the matter is definitely very serious!
"Didn't the northern border experience a great war not long ago? Why is there suddenly a large army gathering now? Is there any other news?" Song Gongwen thought for a moment and said immediately.
"I didn't know, I just rushed in after getting the news." The butler said.
After all, it's a military newspaper, so it's great to know what happened.
How can we possibly know the specific content?
"teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Song Gongwen turned around without thinking much.
"It's urgent, and I can't guess the reason," Zhang Zhengming said. "Since that battle, there hasn't been a major war on the northern border for decades. Now, there's an urgent military report from 800 miles away. Of the 18 tribes on the grassland, at least five have set out."
The great battle he was talking about took place during the time of the previous emperor, when the Marquis of Shenwu personally led his army deep into the grasslands.
Although the victory did not achieve much, it did hurt eight of the eighteen tribes on the grassland.
It is for this reason that they have been disrupting the border over the years.
They did not dare to really gather a large army to advance deep into the enemy's territory.
But now, after more than ten years of recuperation.
Such an urgent military report was issued, so this matter must be serious.
Zhang Zhengming thought for a moment, then said, "Anyway, let's go to the palace first. The news has already reached the Ministry of War, and I think it will reach His Majesty soon."
"Let's go to the palace and make preparations first. I believe we will know what happened in the North soon."
"good!"
Song Gongwen nodded, then instructed the butler to let his wife know that he was safe first.
He and Zhang Zhengming took a carriage to the palace.
Of course, to be precise, it is the Wenhua Hall, where the cabinet offices are located.
Fortunately, we can arrive as soon as possible when His Majesty summons us.
at the same time.
Because of the sudden military report from the north.
As a result, the entire capital was discussing this matter.
Not only officials, but also many ordinary people gathered together.
For some people, war is a thing of the past.
Especially the young people, some were excited, some were nervous, but the older generation didn't care and were not afraid.
Because anyone who had experienced the war during the previous emperor's time knew very well that even if the barbarians from the grasslands marched south in large numbers, it would not matter, because they, the Great Wei, had a patron saint, the Marquis of Shenwu!
As for those high-ranking officials, especially the six ministers, after receiving the news, they chose to enter the palace as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether His Majesty wants to see me or not, I have to go.
that's all.
Because of the sudden military report from the north.
The originally prosperous and peaceful capital city has become completely different from before.
However, Wei Yunyi, who was in the alchemy room of the imperial palace, was still unaware of this.
Because he was still preparing the medicinal materials for refining the Dahuan Dan.
Compared to Xiaohuandan.
The medicinal materials for Dahuandan are even more precious.
Therefore, he was not completely confident in handing it over to the eunuchs under his command and wanted to personally check it.
The last time I refined it, I only got three pills. The probability is too low. It can't be the same this time.
Otherwise, even if he was an emperor and rich, he would not be able to withstand such consumption and had to be more rigorous.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the preparations, and the young eunuch who followed him to make the elixir was not unfamiliar with it because of his previous experience.
This was the point that Wei Yunyi was most satisfied with. He knew that next, he only needed to start refining the elixir.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
But at this moment, Wang Jin's anxious voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Ministry of War just sent a message saying that the grassland tribes are gathering a large army and are heading south to attack the border. The situation is urgent, and they want to see Your Majesty! Some officials from the six ministries have also arrived and are waiting in the imperial study."
What?
The grassland tribes moved south?
Wei Yunyi, who was just about to refine the elixir, was shocked when he heard this.
He quickly walked out of the pill recipe, looked at Wang Jin in front of him and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. The Minister of War said that the situation was urgent and the General Zhenbei led his troops to meet the enemy, but suffered losses." Wang Jin said, "Your Majesty, please move to the Imperial Study."
Wei Yunyi frowned deeply, knowing that the grassland tribes were moving south. This was no trivial matter and must be taken seriously.
He immediately prepared to leave to meet the Minister of War, but soon stopped and said, "Call all the cabinet ministers and the six ministers. I need to hold a meeting in advance! Also, invite the Marquis of Shenwu to the palace!"
After saying this, he walked towards the imperial study without any hesitation.
The border war involves military and national affairs.
If we just send some civil servants, it will definitely not work.
Only by asking the Marquis of Shenwu, a famous general of the time, can the corresponding decision be made.
