Although Chongzhen has always believed that Yang Sichang is a capable minister, he is a minister who really does practical things.

But now Liu Yuliang's various performances have proved to him that Liu Yuliang is not a corpse vegetarian.

What's more, Liu Yuliang himself is the first assistant.

Chongzhen is also an emperor who likes to listen to suggestions, and he also believes that the so-called concurrently listening is clear and biased, otherwise he would not believe Yuan Chonghuan's five-year peace theory, and he would not agree to Yang Sichang's peace while willing to let Lu Xiangsheng fight a decisive battle with Jiannu.

Therefore, at this time, Chongzhen looked at Liu Yuliang: "What objections does Aiqing have?" ”

Liu Yuliang immediately said: "Although the minister has a gap with Lu Yuan and hates his arrogance and inferiority, the minister has to admit that the reason why Lu Yuan's subordinates have repeatedly won Jiannu lies in the word "dare to fight";

However, since His Majesty's edict to King Qin, Lu Yuan's department has fought several vicious battles with Jiannu, and its casualties have been very heavy, and its department can be said to be seven out of ten. ”

Yang Sichang was a little unhappy, in the past, he was the only one who discussed military and political affairs in front of the emperor, and now this first assistant Liu Yuliang is different from the past, especially now that the class teacher has the meaning of fighting with himself after returning to the court, which makes his attitude towards Liu Yuliang change from disdain to disgust.

But Yang Sichang was not to be outdone, and continued to say: "Your Majesty, presumably Yuanfu misunderstood the meaning of the minister, the minister did not want Lu Yuan to go to Shaanxi to enter the mountains to suppress the thieves, and the minister's meaning was to let Lu Yuan go to Shaanxi to rest and recuperate, in case the thieves will become bigger in the future, and Shaanxi will have no soldiers to stop!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Yang Pavilion is not good at what he said, the people's livelihood in Shaanxi is withering, ten rooms and nine emptiness, not enough to raise Lu Yuan's troops and horses, not to mention, according to the minister, Lu Yuan will not be able to recover even if he goes to Shaanxi for a year or two at this time, how can he resist the thieves?

It is better to transfer Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting to defend Shaanxi!

In the future, if Jiannu enters the customs again, it will inevitably loot Shandong, because of the rich land in the north, only Shandong has not been robbed!

After the Jiannu entered the customs, bypassed the Beijing Division, and drove directly to Baoding, Zhending and other mansions, the southernmost has reached Jize, the purpose is obviously to plunder Shandong for Kou, and the minister here still has Shang Kexi to confess the intention of Jiannu to enter the customs this time, which also proves the minister's idea!

Therefore, the minister believes that the imperial court not only can not transfer Lu Yuan to Shaanxi, but also strengthen the defense of Shandong, set up an additional battalion in Shandong, which will be unified by Lu Yuan, protect Caoyun, and restore the Wendeng camp at the same time, and choose one of the generals to strengthen the coastal defense.

Your Majesty, Jiannu has always had the ambition to win the world, otherwise he would not have awarded Shang Kexi and other princes, and Jiannu people are insufficient, and they will enter the customs again in the future, and they will plunder Shandong, and the land of Shandong is related to the luck of the capital division, and it is necessary to guard against it, Your Majesty! ”

Liu Yuliang now also has his own staff department, and he often does some calculations like Lu Yuan's staff department, so he can also say the head of the prelude to the emperor at this time.

Chongzhen actually admits that it is also very contradictory, on the one hand, he is a slave, and on the other hand, he is a thief who may resurrect at any time.

Chongzhen looked at Xue Guoguan: "Xue Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Xue Guoguan is now not sure whether there is a gap between Liu Yuliang and Lu Yuan, but he intuitively thinks that Liu Yuliang cannot have a bad relationship with Lu Yuan, so he stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Yang Gebu said is more reasonable, and the trend of thieves must be guarded against, especially Zhang Xianzhong's department, although his department is now appeased, if there is no elite army to suppress it, I am afraid that this Zhang Xianzhong's department will surrender and rebel!" ”

"Your Majesty, what Xue Cifu is worried about is what the minister is worried about, but the minister thinks that the imperial court now has no other way than to order Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of the five provinces, to be on strict guard, if the imperial court lets Lu Yuan go to Shaanxi at this time, and add another battalion, where will the money and grain come from, will the imperial court have to levy more taxes, and now a single liao salary has made the people of the world miserable, Your Majesty!

After the ministers and supervisors went out of Beijing, they witnessed the tragic situation of the people, they were easy to eat, and they sold their children and women, the so-called thieves were just people without grain, no land to grow and nothing to eat, and the ministers thought that as long as the court cherished the people's power and sympathized with the people's power, the thieves would naturally not become bigger, even if it revived, it would be difficult to become a general trend!

According to the minister learned from Shang Kexi, the enemy chief Taiji has always had great ambitions, contrary to his father Nurhachi's government, reusing the Han people, setting up official offices, and collecting the power of the Eight Banners Baylor, and even this entry into the customs has the heart to prevent my Ming Dynasty from completely exterminating the thieves! From the minister's point of view, the trouble of thieves is worse than that of slaves! ”

Liu Yuliang replied.

Yang Sichang glanced at Liu Yuliang, he understood before Chongzhen, although he didn't have a good impression of Liu Yuliang, but he was not a mediocre minister, if it was really as Liu Yuliang said, Yang Sichang himself felt that the Jiannu who was determined to be in the world was more terrible than the thief who just wanted to eat a full meal, so he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if it is really as Yuanfu said, he should immediately announce that Shang Kexi asked about Jiannu." ”

Chongzhen also reacted at this time and nodded: "Announce Shang Kexi immediately!" And Lu Yuan. ”

Soon.

Shang Kexi and Lu Yuan, who followed Lu Yuan into Beijing together, were passed into the palace.

"Official, why did you say that Your Majesty suddenly summoned the little one into the palace?"

Shang Kexi couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan at this time, and called Lu Yuan by the name of Lu Yuan by the insiders of the mighty army, obviously lowering his posture in front of Lu Yuan.

"General Shang don't worry, if Your Majesty wants to kill you, why should you be summoned to the palace again, in the eyes of this official, Your Majesty should ask you about Jiannu, and when the time comes, please ask the general to explain to Your Majesty the harm of Jiannu, otherwise Your Majesty will only have thieves in his eyes at that time, so if Jiannu takes the world, you and I, who have a deep blood feud with Jiannu, how can we survive?"

Lu Yuan reminded that he had analyzed the situation in the world to Liu Yuliang as early as before entering Beijing, and informed Liu Yuliang of the dangers of Jiannu, and he believed that now Chongzhen suddenly summoned his monk Kexi should also be for the sake of Jiannu, and it should be Liu Yuliang who successfully exerted influence on Chongzhen and the courtiers.

It was a good thing for the imperial court to realize in advance that Jiannu might be the main enemy.

Because the original history proves that although Li Zicheng and these thieves seem to be powerful, they really have no ambitions, nor do they have a good political program, although the slogan of a king who does not pay food can easily attract a large number of ordinary people, but it cannot establish a stable political power.

After all, you can't build a regime without a source of wealth.

Moreover, even if Li Zicheng surrounded Beijing later, he only wanted Chongzhen to make himself the king of Shaanxi.

Lu Yuan didn't know if Li Zicheng really didn't have the ambition to be the emperor or if he had realized that Jiannu was the main enemy, so he wanted to ease up with the Ming court, but he knew that the most important thing for the Ming to guard against now was Jiannu.

Therefore, Lu Yuan felt that if the Ming Dynasty really took Jiannu as the primary enemy and took strict precautions, he would not worry that there would be no chance to delay Chongzhen's destruction after seventeen years in the future.

Lu Yuan was most worried that the current Ming court was as short-sighted as the later small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, Jiannu had entered the customs and had already defeated Li Zicheng, and he also fantasized about dividing the river with Jiannu to rule, and even Lianyu Pingkou, and then the result was that it was destroyed in only one year, but it was the Yongli regime of Liankou Pingyu that lasted for 18 years.
