Chapter 2806: Civil war

Zhu Chengxuan frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. While hesitating, Yan Gu who was standing in the other column walked out of the crowd and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Cao's words, the old minister is not I agree."
Zhu Chengxuan turned to look at him.
Said: "What do you think of Master Yan?"
Yan Gu said: "The Japanese pirates are just some stragglers in the Japanese country who are incapable of invading the inland. They are just looting a little money in some coastal cities and towns, which is insignificant. If a large army is sent to encircle and suppress, it is tantamount to killing chickens with sledgehammers. It even seems that my Great Yan Dynasty has no demeanor."
"Demeanor? Is it demeanor to allow Japanese pirates to rob the border people?"
"Of course they shouldn't be allowed to looting wantonly. The old minister meant that as long as the local militiamen were mobilized to fight back a little, with a resisting attitude, it would be enough to let the Japanese pirates retreat."
Cao Jiao sneered: "Master Yan, you can say that lightly. Don't you think that the people along the coast have no resistance when they were looted by those Japanese pirates before?"
"This--"
"Furthermore, an attitude of resistance can make the enemy retreat? If so, why did your Majesty guard Peiping for decades and fight battles? Does his attitude make the people of Kuo retreat?"
"..."
"The enemy can't fight back. If we don't give a heavy blow, how can we show our attitude and show the mighty power of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Yan Gu also sneered and said, "Master Cao, you also said this lightly."
Cao Jiao said, "What does Master Yan mean?"
Yan Gu walked up to him and said to him, "Master Cao is going to hit the Japanese pirates hard, then the old minister, where did you fight it? On land or at sea?"
Cao Jiao thought for a moment, and said, "The defenders in the southeast coast have not fought off on land, but these Japanese pirates come and go like the wind. It is not easy to concentrate their attacks. They can only attack their ships while they are at sea. To get twice the result with half the effort."
"That's it,"
Yan Gu sneered and said: "Go to the sea to fight, we have a navy? Do we have a warship?"
"This--"
"Master Cao has counted, how many people and money is needed to build a navy army; how many ships, manpower, and money are needed to build a warship?"
"..."
"Compared with the money and things looted by the frontiers, the money is lighter and heavier, which is more and less, doesn't Master Cao have an account in his heart?"
"I--"
Yan Gu Yang said: "Master Cao doesn't count, but we civil servants have to count."
"..."
"In the past few years, the emperor has spent countless manpower and material resources to open up the Silk Road in order to communicate with the Western Regions. Now things are not going to happen.
When he heard this, the breath behind the screen suddenly sank.
Yan Gu continued: "The imperial court tightened its belt. Now, the adults have to squeeze a large amount of money and energy from the imperial court for a few insignificant Japanese pirates. Are you trying to bring the imperial court down?!"
This last sentence can be said to be overwhelming.
Cao Jiao was also a little anxious.
After all, at this time, whether a war is fought or not is a trivial matter, but if his purpose is distorted, it is a major matter.
Hastily turned his head to Zhu Chengxuan and said: "His Royal Highness, Weichen has no intention of this."
"..."
"Weichen is not unaware that the expenditure of the court is being streamlined every year, but the southeast coastal defense is also related to the safety of my Great Yan Dynasty, it is a elbow and arm trouble!"
"..."
"The people have been humiliated and plundered, aren't they our people?"
"..."
"His Royal Highness, please cut it off!"
Zhu Chengxuan hesitated for a moment. Before he could speak, Yan Gu turned his head and said: "Your Highness, the southeast coast is absolutely unavailable for soldiers. If you use soldiers, it will affect the imperial court. When the time comes, if people don't fight, we will fall first!"
At this time, several other military attaches standing behind Cao Jiao all stood up and said, "Sir Yan's words are alarmist."
"You are counting money, but can the people's safety be ignored?"
"If this is the case, no matter who calls in the future, we will settle the bill. As long as we spend the money, we will not call. Will there be peaceful time that day?"
The civil servants after Yan's death also immediately fought back.
"I see, you generals are fighting like wars all day long, just for the pursuit of frontier power, for your own promotion and fortune!"
"Even though the country is big, it must die if it is belligerent. This is the old saying!"
"Our country Yan is not acquainted with naval warfare at all. To fight in this way is tantamount to ruin!"
For a time, above the court, the civil servants and military commanders were divided into two sides, and the quarrel was violent.
Seeing this, Zhu Chengxuan, who was sitting on top of it, frowned, his brows were frowning, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "Don't quarrel, this matter, this matter—"
His voice was completely suppressed by the quarrel.
After all, he didn't know what choice he should make or how to deal with this matter. Without a voice of confidence, he couldn't control these ministers at all.
Just when he was at a loss, a thin, deep voice came from the screen behind him--
"Your Highness, don't worry."
This voice made Zhu Chengxuan's breath suddenly tight.
He turned his head subconsciously, and saw the familiar figure from the gap of the screen. It was not someone else but the concubine Sinanyan.
The imperial concubine told him last night that she would accompany him to court.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan was originally very happy, but then became annoyed again.
After all, there is no precedent for a woman to go to court in this dynasty. Not only does this dynasty have no precedent for women to sit in court for thousands of years. Not only courtiers, but even the common people also resisted this very much, Sichen Mae , Is a bad omen for many people.
So he said worriedly: "Will the ministers object?"
Nan Yan said to him: "My palace is not going to call the shots. It's just that your Highness is young. My palace is worried that the courtiers will bully the young master, so I will help you."
After speaking, she raised her hand and gently touched Zhu Chengxuan's hair.
Zhu Chengxuan used to do this action when she was still young, no matter whose son the child was, she loved him sincerely.
After he grew up, and some things happened in between, even if the two were not separated, it was not easy to be too close.
So she rarely does this action again.
The sudden touch made Zhu Chengxuan's heart beat. He looked up at Nan Yan, and saw the imperial concubine empress smiling and saying, "Didn't your Highness say that when he was in the Xuanqiong Palace, this palace is your concubine."
"..."
"Since I am a mother, I have to protect my children at this time."
Hearing what she said, Zhu Chengxuan also smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Nan Yan, who was sitting behind the screen, said softly again: "This matter can be solved."
Zhu Chengxuan raised his heart and asked, "How can I solve it?"
"..."
"Should I choose the military commander's method or the civil minister's method?"
