After the five of them stood up, Zhu Cihong asked, "The five Aiqing came to find me together, what's the matter?" Zhu Cihong didn't care why the first assistant Ma Shiying didn't come together.

The five of them glanced at each other, and Liu Zongzhou stepped forward to report: "Back to the emperor, the minister dares to ask the emperor whether he has privately issued a holy decree to canonize Zhendong General Qin Liangyu as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou!" ”

Liu Zongzhou said harshly, biting the word "private" most clearly.

Zhu Cihong didn't have any surprises, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, but there is such a thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor's move is very inappropriate, that Qin Liangyu is a woman, she shouldn't have led troops to fight, how can she serve as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, the emperor is so hasty, how can the people of the world look at it! The minister implored the emperor to take back his order! Liu Zongzhou's face was stern, and he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Zhu Cihong was not surprised at all that he would be questioned like this, but Liu Zongzhou's loud questioning also made him feel a little angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask with a slight narrowing of his eyes: "Aiqing thinks that if Qin Liangyu can't be in charge, who else is in charge." ”

"Back to the emperor, Qin Liangyu's daughter is always inappropriate, she doesn't have enough experience, the minister thinks that the governor of Sichuan has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has experienced experience, so he can consider it, and the emperor can also send ministers from the court, all of which can be decided by the emperor!"

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Cihong was furious.

"I don't think it's a question of whether Qin Liangyu has the ability to serve, but you look down on her as a woman, but have you ever thought that now most of the Shu land in Sichuan has fallen, leaving only Lizhou that Qin Liangyu is struggling to support, although Qin Liangyu's daughter is a woman, but she has been leading troops since the Wanli period, and how many military exploits have she made over the decades, Wanli Emperor Ancestor and the first emperor have said that although Qin Liangyu is a woman, she is also a talented general, comparable to She Taijun in the Song Dynasty! Now what Chuan Gui wants is not a civil official with political experience, but a general who can fight, and I need her to contain Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops for me. ”

"You may not be very clear, Tongguan is about to be broken, Li Zi's success or failure is a foregone conclusion, the Manchu Qing Dynasty since entering the customs, conquering the city, occupying half of my Ming Dynasty, while buying the hearts of the people, while recruiting soldiers and horses, now all the troops together even exceed 700,000, I never deceive myself, the purpose of the Manchu Qing is very clear, is to destroy my Ming Dynasty, enslave all my Ming people. After Li Zicheng was defeated, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no worries, and within half a year, the troops of the whole country must be concentrated in the south to fight a decisive battle with our Ming Dynasty! If I don't do my best to deal with it, how can I resist the nearly one million army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you know, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a rabble like Zuo Liangyu. At this moment, you are still not working together, but you are entangled in such a trivial matter, and the destruction of the country and the clan is just around the corner! If you want to be a sinner for the ages, you can't do it! ”

Hearing Zhu Cihong say that the entire army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty now exceeded 700,000, the five of them were all shocked, and at the same time gasped, they were actually very clear about the ambitions of the Manchus.

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter!" Liu Zongzhou also wanted to defend himself.

"Okay, I said that it was a trivial matter, Song Ke has She Taijun, why can't Daming have Qin Liangyu! Give Qin Liangyu a chance, Da Ming needs to be like this now, besides, Qin Liangyu is older than any of you, he can't be a few years old! Zhu Cihong waved his hand, unwilling to say more.

Liu Zongzhou gritted his teeth, Qin Liangyu is indeed seventy years old, and he can't be the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou for a few years, but no matter how much he is a woman, once Daming sets this precedent, what should he do.

Qian Qianyi and the other four were not as complicated as Liu Zongzhou thought, the four of them glanced at each other and were silent, because they all saw that the emperor must be strong-willed, and there was no point in persuading him.

"Okay, I still have a review of the folds, so let's step back!" Zhu Cihong interrupted Liu Zongzhou's ** who wanted to speak again, and glanced at Liu Zongzhou deeply.

Liu Zongzhou gritted his teeth, met Zhu Cihong's eyes, moved his mouth, and finally sighed slightly, or gave up, the Manchu Qing Dynasty became more and more powerful, and finally made him feel incomparably pressured.

Although Liu Zongzhou is tough, he is still more loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the end, and he also has some vision, but he compromises like this, and he is always a little unwilling and uncomfortable.

"Wait for the resignation!" Liu Zongzhou arched towards Zhu Cihong, then flicked his cuffs and turned around and walked out directly, very rude!

Zhu Cihong doesn't care, this old thing is sometimes stubborn, his ability is still good, and he can tell the situation clearly, since he has compromised, Zhu Cihong naturally doesn't care about such trivial things.

"Wait for the resignation!" Qian Qianyi and the other four also saluted Zhu Cihong and prepared to retire, but they were not as dragged as Liu Zongzhou, and they only withdrew when Zhu Cihong nodded and signaled them.

This matter is considered to be in the past, and Zhu Cihong asked the cabinet to officially issue a document confirming the matter.

Ma Shiying agreed without saying a word, but Liu Zongzhou saw that Ma Shiying was sick in just one day, and almost didn't bite a mouthful of old teeth, pointing at Ma Shiying's nose is a burst of scolding, and the two pinched in the cabinet for a while, causing some jokes.

It is said that Qin Liangyu received the holy decree of Zhu Cihong appointing her as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, although she was happy, she didn't dare to take it seriously, but soon after receiving the official document from the cabinet, her hand holding the document trembled, especially there was a sentence on it, that is, Zhu Cihong said that the Song Dynasty could be by She Taijun, and the Ming Dynasty could also have Qin Liangyu! , Qin Liangyu burst into tears for a while, and took the family to kneel in the direction of Nanjing City in the East, and shouted long live.

Ma Yue'e was also awarded the rank of Wupin Wuluo General by the Ministry of War, and from that moment on, she was a female general like her grandmother.

"He is worthy of being the emperor, and he really keeps his promise." Ma Yue'e muttered happily.

After it was officially confirmed, Qin Liangyu announced the appointment of her as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou by the imperial court, and immediately the people in Lizhou City cheered, and the morale of the Lizhou army was greatly boosted.

It was precisely because of that great victory that although the governor of Guizhou and the governor of Sichuan were still dissatisfied, they never dared to resist Qin Liangyu's order, and Qin Liangyu was able to concentrate the military strength of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces to contain Zhang Xianzhong, and in the first decisive battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, he created a stable rear for the Ming Dynasty.
