On February 27, when the messengers of the imperial court came out to spread the will of King Qin to various places, the news also reached the Pingliaobo Mansion.

Ping Liaobo is a knighthood awarded according to military merits after Zu Dashou recovered Shenyang.

Even if he was knighted, according to the rules, he handed over the military affairs to his eldest son Zu Zerun, and then led hundreds of families to leave Liaodong and came to the Pingliaobo Mansion in the capital, and then began his life as a noble minister.

This day is also comfortable, although he is leading the post in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but this position is the ear of the deaf, and he stays in this uncle's mansion almost every day, and he has not done anything else, but he and the concubine gave birth to a few dolls.

Although it seems that he is addicted to wine all day long, it does not mean that Zu Dashou does not care about national affairs.

Just like after learning that the thieves crossed the Yellow River and Chen Yan opposed the entry of the Liao soldiers, he wrote to his son, saying that he missed the game in Liaodong, so Zu Zerun sent people to send dozens of carts of game.

In fact, it is also a special product of Liaodong, such as tigers, deer, wild boars, and bear paws. Of course, in addition to hundreds of family members, there was also Liu Zhenqi, a confidant of Zu Dashou. When the news of King Qin came this day, the two were playing chess indoors.

"Your Majesty has issued an order to transfer the world's soldiers and horses!"

After putting the note in the brazier and burning it, Zu Dashou looked at Liu Zhenqi and said.

"Fangzheng, what do you think of the current situation?"

"There's no hurry!"

Liu Zhenqi said directly.

"If before the fall of Taiyuan, the emperor can decisively transfer Liao troops into the pass at the same time as Chen Yan, it is impossible for the thieves to force the Beijing division, now that Ningwu Pass has fallen, the two general soldiers of Xuanda have surrendered to the enemy, and on the way to the capital, no one can stop the thieves' soldiers, but unfortunately, Zhou Yuji gave the court more than ten days with his life, and the result was wasted......"

Liu Zhenqi's sigh made Zu Dashou nod his head in agreement, at the time of the national change, the official army is all about to collapse at the touch of a button, how many generations of the emperor's grace of the civil and military generals, run, fall, only Zhou Yuji did not move, and repaid with death.

But what does such loyalty get in return?

The imperial court missed the last chance in vain.

"Uncle, I have to plan as soon as possible!"

Glancing at the uncle, Liu Zhenqi said softly.

"If the uncle is trapped in the capital, he must have a life-threatening concern, so in the next opinion, the uncle should leave the capital as soon as possible and return to Shenyang for the future, after all, Miss Nine is ......"

When mentioning Miss Nine, Liu Zhenqi found that his uncle's face had become extremely complicated. As his confidant, he didn't know why.

"Xiao Jiu...... Hey, it's too late to regret it! It's too late to regret ......"

Zu Dashou couldn't help but shake his head and sighed bitterly.

In fact, Zu Dashou had long regretted it, if it wasn't for the lard that blinded his heart, how could he have fallen into the current predicament, he only saw the benefits of taking Shenyang, but he didn't expect that after taking Shenyang, he would be knighted, but then what?

Then he was going to come to the capital as a hostage, and he was going to hand over the military affairs to his son, and since then he has been trapped in the capital. And what is the greater price he has paid? It was offended by General Pingyu, according to the current development of the situation, he does not know how the emperor will be in the future, but one thing is for sure, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be replaced in the next few months!

Originally, the ancestral family could become a dragon hero, but now...... But it's just a snake and a rat!

What a loss!

Hey, that's too much!

But is it any use to regret it now?

It must be useless to regret it now, the ancestral family was originally able to be connected with the general by virtue of their in-laws, and from then on they shared honor and disgrace.

But now?

Now my bowels are repentant. If you had to do it again, would you choose this way?

Seeing Dong Weng's look of regret, Liu Zhenqi thought about it, and then said.

"Uncle, in fact, if you make up for it now, you may be in a hurry."

His words made Zu Dashou ask rhetorically.

"Founder, but what is the best solution?"

"A good idea?"

Liu Zhenqi shook his head, and then said.

"I can't talk about a good strategy, but if Uncle wants to remedy it, I have an idea, but this idea is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's not easy to do, and it's ......"

After a pause, Liu Zhenqi said again.

"To do this, you have to make up your mind, but if it happens, the uncle and the general will be as close as ever!"

"Oh!"

When Zu Dashou's curiosity responded, he only heard Liu Zhenqi straighten up, sit on the chair with a serious attitude rarely seen in the past, and put forward his thoughtful plan.

"Uncle, when the situation is today, it is on the verge of breaking out, after the thieves went down to Ningwu Pass, the two general soldiers of Xuanda surrendered to the thieves one after another, and the court is like a dangerous building, swimming on the tip of the waves, and there will be a catastrophe at any time. In the following opinion, once Shenjing falls into thieves, the situation of the Ming Dynasty will be uncontrollable except for the general. Although I still have relatives in the Ming Dynasty, how many people have soldiers in the hands of those relatives? Who is entitled? At that time, the country was in jeopardy for 300 years. Looking around the government and the opposition, the only person who can save my Ming today is the general. Although it is still in place today, the chess game that has been walked out so far has been full of mistakes and mistakes, and the employment of people is negligent,......"

And when he spoke, Zu Dashou's expression became terrifying, and he secretly admired Liu Zhenqi's deep understanding of the situation and his incisive analysis.

"Originally,"

Liu Zhenqi changed to a calm tone and said in an orderly manner,

"If you are a generous person today, you should keep in mind the ancient precept of Zhou Gong Fucheng Wang, you can use the general to assist the government, and even follow the example of my Ming ancestral system, and make the general the king, so that he can lead the troops to defend the center, so that the righteousness is still there, so even if it is the dictatorship of the general, the political situation of the Ming Dynasty will ensure stability. However, Jin Shang is by no means a generous person, lest the general follow the example of the "Jing Nan" old thing, even if someone invites him to the pilgrimage and affirm the ancestral system, Jin Shang will reject it, and so on, Jin Shang will definitely not put the community as the most important thing and eliminate the previous suspicions, and the general will never be able to assist Jin Shang. In this way, my Ming country is in danger......"

In fact, these truths, not to mention that Liu Zhenqi knows, who in the world doesn't know now?

If it is a sage and virtuous monarch today, it is natural to restore the ancestral system, with the general as the king, so that there is a king who leads the army and is good at fighting, there are capable ministers, and there are military generals with heavy troops, even if the Ming court encounters the attack of the storm and the disaster of the collapse of the sky and the earth, it can also work together from top to bottom, and the government and the opposition work together to tide over the crisis, so it is naturally as stable as a rock.

But the problem is that Jin Shang doesn't believe in the general, even the civil officials in the court don't believe it, and even Chen Yan refuses to transfer Liao soldiers into the customs, on the pretext that he is also a general, and transferring Zu Zerun into the customs is equivalent to luring the wolf into the house, and transferring Wu Sangui into the customs is equivalent to returning to the mountain.

In a word, from the king to the minister, the general is guarded against. Why Chen Yan said these words in the first place was not because he guessed the emperor's thoughts, the emperor didn't believe in the general!

It was because the emperor did not believe in the general that it led to the current situation. What will be the result of this situation if it continues?

I can't even think about that result. As long as he thought about it, Zu Dashou would be able to figure out what the outcome would be.

That's not a good result. Of course, Zu Dashou is definitely not a pedantic person, and he himself has actually begun to prepare for that day, just like the family in the house.

Maybe with these family members at that time, he will not be able to turn the tide, but at least he can guarantee one thing, that is, he will not lose his life in the capital in vain.

"Hey, it's a pity that the situation is like this, and it's beyond human power. No one can say what the future will look like. However, once Shenjing falls, with the strength of the general's virtue and prestige today, he can guarantee that not only the world will respond, but even many clans will support it convincingly. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenqi secretly glanced at Zu Dashou, only to see him sitting peacefully at the desk, thinking with his head down.

"So, the lord should prepare early. In my opinion, the lord might as well ......"

Liu Zhenqi's voice was very low, so low that only the two of them could hear it clearly, listening to his words, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zu Dashou's mouth, and a sadness welled up in his heart......
