At this time, although Jiajing proposed that the court discussed how to deal with Liu Tianhe, Xia Yan was very unhappy.

Because he had already written a memorial, his opinion was to dismiss Liu Tianhe and investigate and arrest him and take him back to Beijing. He was tried by the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate.

However, Jiajing did not order the official of the Honglu Temple to read out his votes, which was equivalent to vetoing his opinion in disguise. How could this work?

He was originally a rather arrogant person. After becoming the prime minister of the cabinet, he was even more crazy and didn't know who he was. Sometimes he didn't take Jiajing seriously. He even thought that even the emperor would listen to him as the prime minister of the cabinet!

This may be his way to die. Nowadays, those who dare to fight against the imperial power will basically not live long.

Of course, Jiajing didn't think about dealing with Xia Yan at this moment, and Xia Yan didn't insist on getting along with Jiajing. He just wanted to deal with Liu Tianhe and suppress Yang Cong's momentum.

This court discussion was originally only important officials of the court who were above the third rank and above could participate. Even if Jiajing did not play according to the rules and changed the court discussion to the morning court, officials of the third rank and below did not dare to speak randomly. They could only be honest and listeners.

Xia Yan thought that he was the most powerful person in the court at this time, and Jiajing was a little "unversed" his wishes, so he was the first to stand up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I thought Liu Tianhe was just talking and shirking responsibility. No matter how he concealed it, it was a fact that the Tartars invaded Datong Town, which he could not escape. Therefore, I felt that he should be dismissed from his post and investigated and brought back to the capital for interrogation."

There is no need to lie in the middle of the imperial road to speak, because the court discussion is of a negotiable nature, and all the important officials of the imperial court who participated can speak freely. If you lie in the middle of the imperial road to speak, it is not a negotiation, but a memorial.

Some people in Jiajing knew that Xia Yan would definitely feel uncomfortable, but he didn't care much. So what about the prime minister of the cabinet. He was just a minister. He didn't need to be afraid of others, and he didn't think he should listen to the prime minister of the cabinet. Therefore, he didn't catch a cold about Xia Yan's suggestions.

What a joke, you can ask me to dismiss a rank of officials from the border and investigate it. It’s not your final decision for the court, but for me!

He also knew that Xia Yan would definitely jump out and reiterate his opinions on dismissing Liu Tianhe's post and investigating him, so he simply ignored him and waited for other court officials to refute Xia Yan.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, the Minister of Rites Zhang Bangqi stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think that the Tartars' invasion of Datong Town this time cannot be regarded as the Tartars' attack on Datong Town from the overall situation. At best, the Tartars made a move to attack the east and west, relying on two side troops to break into Datong Town. However, the governor Liu Tianhe's handling was still very appropriate. He did not conceal his own private matters, but instead submitted a timely report to the court, which promptly led to the border troops of Taiyuan Town and Xuanfu Town to quickly come to support, thus repelling the Tartars and achieving a great victory in Guangling. Judging from the final record, Liu Tianhe was not only unfair but also made contributions, so I felt that Liu Tianhe should be rewarded."

Of course, this was said according to Liu Tianhe's report. Judging from the final result, the Ming Dynasty did achieve unprecedented victories. If we start from this point of view, Liu Tianhe did make contributions rather than failures.

Xia Yan's mouth was almost pissed at this moment. The Yangming lineage clearly couldn't get along with him. He wanted to deal with Liu Tianhe, and the Yangming lineage had to protect Liu Tianhe. Unfortunately, he had a rift with Yan Song at this moment. Otherwise, Yan Song would take the lead in supporting him and he would have the upper hand.

He thought Yan Song would sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but he never thought that Yan Song stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think that Lord Xia is right. No matter what the result is, it is indeed unquestionable that the Tatars' attack on Datong Town. Guangling is more than 200 miles away from the Great Wall to the north of Datong Town, while Taiyuan Town in the south is only more than 100 miles away. The Tatar army has rushed there. This is not considered to attack on Datong Town, so what should we count? Therefore, I feel that Liu Tianhe cannot escape the blame for the loss of Datong Town."

Yan Song actually didn't want to help Xia Yan, because he had already begun to make plans to seize Xia Yan's power.

However, this time he had to stand up and support Xia Yan, because the Yangming lineage was their common enemy, and he would not watch the enemy grow and grow in order to seize Xia Yan's power.

Liu Tianhe has obviously stood on the side of the Yangming lineage. If he doesn't deal with it, what is the prestige of Xia Yan's party? More importantly, Liu Tianhe is making contributions to Yang Cong, which is especially intolerable.

Yang Cong can be said to be a representative figure in the younger generation of Yangming. What's even more terrifying is that this guy married the Lu family and the Zhang family. It is precisely because of this relationship that this guy has been promoted to level 4 in less than two years. If he doesn't suppress it, this guy will soon be able to compete with them.

Yan Song naturally didn't want to see this situation, so he wanted to help Xia Yan deal with Liu Tianhe. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that dealing with Liu Tianhe was second, and suppressing Yang Cong was the main one.

At this moment, the Yangming lineage is indeed far inferior to the Xia Yan party. When he stood up, the Xia Yan party obviously had an overwhelming advantage. Of course, the Yangming lineage would not admit defeat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Bao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Zhang is right. The division of the Tartars troops into three groups is just a tactical problem and does not represent the final result. The final result is that the Tartars were defeated and fled. This is beyond doubt. Therefore, I think that Governor Liu Tianhe cannot be considered to have any mistakes. If he takes a step back, his subsequent achievements will be enough to make up for the merits."

What Jiajing most wanted to see was internal struggle among the ministers. He still believed that internal struggle among the ministers could highlight his authority. Now he was so happy to see that the Yangming lineage had started to fight with Xia Yan again.

Pinch, pinch hard, the better you pinch, the better!

Although he didn't say anything, he had a satisfied smile on his face.

This smile seemed to agree with Nie Bao's point of view, and seemed to encourage Xia Yan's party to continue fighting with the Yangming lineage.

Xia Yan's party is now in great power, so naturally it will not be suppressed by the Yangming lineage. As soon as Nie Bao's words fell, Tu Qiao, the left censor of the Censorate, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Xia and Lord Yan are right. No matter what, it is a fact that the Tatars rushed into Datong Town. Liu Tianhe said in the memorial that the military households and civilians in Datong Town did not suffer any losses, obviously they were lying. The Tatars are not good men and women. Will they do nothing in the past few days when they rushed into Datong Town? Who would believe this kind of thing?"

This guy, he was pinching well, and he continued to pinch, and the smile on Jiajing's face became even stronger.
