Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu, worried that Zhu Xu would really do this, and continued: "Your Majesty, Chahar is close to the thistle gate, and you can't be unguarded. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhu Xu's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and his face was condensed.

What Sun Chuanting said is not unreasonable, if he gives Lin Danhan such a sharp weapon, maybe he will really use it in Jimen.

Zhu Xu was worried, he wanted to support Mongolia, but he also had to strive to be safe, but Lin Dan Khan was so talented that he couldn't support him at all, and he might not be able to support him for a few more years.

And the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes also knew it, and it was impossible to be co-opted and controlled by the Ming court.

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting, nodded and said, "I know what you mean, but the Mongolian tribes are doing their own thing, like scattered sand, and they are not the opponents of Jiannu at all, I am afraid that it will be conquered by Jiannu in a few years, and when the time comes, with Jiannu with the help of Mongolia, we will not only face Liaodong." ”

Nine-sided important towns, from Liaodong, Jizhou to Daoning, Xia, Gan, Su, the battle line is too long, even if you don't attack with all your strength, just harass, it is enough for the Ming Dynasty to be tired. What's more, the most difficult time for Daming is far from coming.

Although Sun Chuanting is more pragmatic than the Donglin Party and has a broad vision, he does not think that the Houjin people can annex the Ming Dynasty, and at most they will plunder.

He didn't understand Zhu Xu's worries, but he was worried that Zhu Xu's 'reckless move' would bring more serious consequences. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, what you can do now is to step up the envelopment of all Mongolian ministries and work together to fight against Jiannu. ”

Zhu Xu listened to Sun Chuanting's words, and sighed in his heart.

Sun Chuanting's words are reasonable, in history, even if Chongzhen can stabilize the situation of the dynasty, it is enough to drag the Xiaoice River. Even the Ming court has enough strength to deal with the exiles, Li Zicheng and others are not opponents of the court at all, as long as they are a little safe, it is possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue their lives.

It's just that from Wanli to the present, Liaodong has been losing and retreating, can it really be said clearly in just one sentence or two?

History is unpredictable, where can it be so simple to deduce, until the end, no one knows the result, so history has only one result.

Zhu Xu couldn't find a suitable way to support Lin Dan Khan, and said after a long time: "That's it, this discussion will be put on hold for the time being, by the way, when will Sun Ge Lao return to Beijing?" ”

Sun Chengzong is now the only first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the elder of the pavilion, whether it is his status or qualifications, is considered to be a high power, especially the emperor's heart.

Sun Chuanting didn't care about this, and when he saw Zhu Xu put it down, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Back to the emperor, a few days ago, Sun Tzu sent a message to the military department, he has returned from Ning and Xia, and he will soon go to Gan and Su, once the rectification of Gan and Su is completed, he can return to Beijing, and in another month, he should be able to come back before the emperor changes the yuan." ”

Zhu Xu nodded, he didn't know if Huang Taiji would launch the Battle of Ningjin as scheduled, even if he made better arrangements than in history, without Sun Chengzong here, he was still uneasy in his heart.

Once Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing, the Ming Dynasty was completely rectified except for a few important towns in the north, as well as the three provinces of He, Nan, Shan, Xi, Shaanxi, and Xi. And then there's the deep, quiet evolution.

Military reform is not a matter of simply changing the military system.

Zhu Xu nodded while listening, although these three provinces are the most prone to accidents, fortunately, there is still time, and when Liaodong is finished, he will be able to free his hands and rectify carefully.

As he was talking, Liu Shimin walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, King Ping is here." ”

Zhu Xu thoughtfully, nodded, and looked at Sun Chuanting again, "Well, the affairs of the military department must be paid close attention to, and the standing armies and garrisons in various places must be strictly controlled, trained, and must not be sloppy." ”

Sun Chuanting also said about it, so he raised his hand and said, "The minister understands, and the minister retires." ”

Zhu Xu watched him walk out, and then King Ping walked in with his stomach up, swaying left and right, bowing and saying, "The minister sees the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand, walked out and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is here, you don't have to be polite, why did you come here with such a heavy snow." ”

King Ping was a carefree character who didn't care about anything, and he smiled and said, "If it's okay, how dare I disturb the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "Could it be a business matter?" Someone is embarrassing you? ”

King Ping smiled and said: "That's not it, it's something arranged by the emperor, well, a few princes are sick, I'm afraid they won't be able to come to Beijing, so write to me to ask the emperor to take leave." ”

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, this is more than a month before he changed his yuan, is he sick a little earlier?

"Who are they?" Zhu Xu said with a smile.

King Ping said, "King Lu, King Fu, King Qin, King Shu and King Tang." ”

Zhu Xu squinted, sure enough, it was them, but I was afraid that this was still preliminary, and once these people got permission, there would be more 'sick leave'. ’

"The ministers (slaves and maids) pay a visit to the emperor."

Fu Changzong and Wei Zhongxian also walked in at the same time.

Zhu Xu nodded to the two of them, then looked at King Ping and said, "Well, put it aside for now, don't ask, what I asked you to investigate, how did you check?" ”

Previously, Zhu Xu asked King Ping to investigate the land occupation and private property of various clans and royal families in the name of Zongren Mansion Zongzheng.

King Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ao, all the palaces have reported it, this is the book I sorted out, and I ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Zhu Xu took it and flipped it over, threw it to Fu Changzong, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, how much do you think this is true?" ”

King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, blinked his eyes and bowed and said, "Minister, I think that eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Zhu Xu sneered and turned his head to look at Fu Changzong.

Fu Changzong also looked at it for a while, raised his head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, King Fu, I'm afraid that it will be less than one-twentieth, less than one-tenth of King Lu, and the rest will be about the same." This is the land of 'consecration'. ”

The so-called 'dedication' is the land that is falsely hung in the name of the royal family, but in fact, after a long time, most of it has become the private property of the vassal king.

King Ping didn't believe it, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about these things for now." That, the clan's arrears are still two million taels, and the New Year is coming soon, you see, do you want to make up for it. It's not that there is a shortage of ministers, I don't lack money to take care of the emperor's business, it's just that the urging is more urgent in various places, and many royal families rely on selling their property to make a living, I, I can't hold it back......"

Zhu Xu sneered in his heart, no one can starve to death these princes, which family does not have thousands of acres of land.

He looked at Fu Changzong quietly and said, "Uncle, how much silver is there in the household?" ”

Fu Changzong understood and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the treasury has already been empty, and now there is still a gap of 800,000 taels, and I ask the emperor to open the internal funds." ”

Zhu Xu looked at King Ping, so he said in embarrassment: "Uncle Huang, you have heard, and you also know the situation of my internal money, unless I wait until the tax comes up next year, I will not have any silver." ”

"So, what then?" King Ping was stunned.
