After listening to Guan Shanyue's report, Emperor Chongzhen was pacing around the main hall, at this moment he felt like a numb heart, he suddenly stopped, frowned and said: "Aiqing, it is my great luck that you can return safely." It is a great blessing for the scholars to be able to return victorious. The rest of the Wara is incorporated into the Ming Dynasty like a drop in the ocean, but it can be put into Daning, doesn't Aiqing think that there are too many Mongolians in Daning? ”

Guan Shanyue's eyes were bloodshot, he led his troops to rush back to Duoyan City in the starry night, knowing that Chongzhen couldn't get over the hurdle of the change in Wallabao, and hurriedly said: "The minister's original plan was also to take advantage of the victory to slaughter Wara, deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao, and solve the trouble of the border pass." But the situation has changed, and there is an empire called Rakshasa in the east of my Ming Dynasty, which has coveted my land for a long time. Shengshang, with Daning's existing strength to resist the power of a country, it is really an egg hitting a stone, and there is absolutely no chance of victory. All this can be attributed to the population, so the ministers cut first and then adopted the strategy of surrender. ”

Emperor Chongzhen probably knew the conditions for Wara to return to obedience, and those conditions were greatly beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the territory was enough for him to have the opportunity to leave a name in history, so he put away the childishness and said embarrassedly: "The land can be defeated, and it must be defended, Ai Qing is right, I know that the bottleneck that plagues Daning now is population." ”

Guan Shanyue was puzzled in his heart, he had already sent a book to Zhao Ruixue, asking her to write to Emperor Chongzhen for herself, and to make it clear that the disaster victims were transferred to Daning, but for some reason there was still no movement, looking at Chongzhen's embarrassed expression, he must have encountered big trouble. He now regrets that he came directly to visit Emperor Chongzhen, and he didn't understand a lot of the situation.

"The minister has the courage to ask, why have the victims of the Shaanxi and Gansu disasters not migrated, hasn't the Holy Divine decree been issued yet?"

When Chongzhen heard this question, his face was immediately full of shame and he hung his head silently.

Wang Chengen stood behind Emperor Chongzhen like a frosted eggplant, and when he saw Guan Shanyue's puzzled face, he interjected and said, "Master Guan, you have misunderstood the saint." In half a month, the saint has successively issued three holy decrees to Yang He, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, all of which have been shelved by him, prevaricating on the grounds that the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi are unwilling to leave their hometowns. ”

Guan Shanyue looked puzzled, this is obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and as soon as the victims come out of Shaanxi and Gansu, this can at least be regarded as a major political achievement of Yang He, "A few days ago, the minister heard that Yang Sichang was running around and calling for signs, persuading everyone not to do stupid things. Now that God's will has been issued, why is he so procrastinating? Isn't there any condition that can't be raised? ”

Wang Chengen had an expression of you answering correctly, but he stood behind Emperor Chongzhen and refused to speak again.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. Ai Qing's guess was right, Yang Sichang was sure that what Daning needs most now is population, and now Daning is the foundation of me, and he has felt my pulse. His condition was for me to send troops into Shaanxi and Gansu to suppress the bandits, and for me to promote him to the rank of secretary of the ministry. ”

Guan Shanyue's heart was cold, the blue tendons on her forehead were exposed, and she cursed: "Who in the world would have thought that the victims of the disaster would become fragrant and sweet, and let Yang Sichang dare to hold himself hostage and bargain with the saint, he is really not a thing." It is acceptable to suppress bandits, but the household department is the first of the six departments, and it is actually a key part of the imperial court, and it is in charge of the promotion and inspection of the appointment and dismissal of the officials under heaven. ”

Emperor Chongzhen hung his fist on the vermilion pillar of Guanghua Palace, and said sadly: "What you said is exactly what I am worried about. I heard that Yang Sichang had privately persuaded his father Yang He to prepare for the disaster to lead water to Henan, and that Fengyang, the central capital, had my ancestral tomb, and they had pinched my seven inches, forcing me to agree. Does Aiqing have a solution? ”

After speaking, his eyes were in a daze, and his face was heavy, and it seemed that he had really been forced to the point of exhaustion.

Guan Shanyue's impression of Yang Sichang is still at the level of killing Lu Xiangsheng, a very good person, he originally thought that he was running in Shaanxi and Gansu to shout for the country and the people, but he didn't expect this kid to make such a shameless request at this critical moment.

He didn't think that King Fu could hold Henan, if the ancestral tomb of the emperor of a country was pouted, the loss of face of Emperor Chongzhen and the royal family was small, if the peasant army made a big fuss about it, so that the people's minds changed, thinking that the Ming Dynasty's qi was exhausted, then it would be dead.

Just when Guan Shanyue weighed the pros and cons and fell into deep thought, considering whether to give Yang He and Yang Sichang a decapitation operation, Chongzhen suddenly threw out another bombshell, completely shattering his last illusion.

"For the rest of the month, I spent every day like a year. Half a month after you left, the General Staff sent urgent news from Liaodong. Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang parted ways, and he went south to join the rebel Fu King. However, Wu Xiang has self-respecting troops, not only taking Yongping Mansion into his bag, but also calling himself the king of Zhou! Then, the traitor Wu Xiang quickly formed an alliance with Houjin and put on a decisive posture in the eastern part of Daning, containing at least half of Daning's troops. According to the intelligence, Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui has always been behind this, stirring up trouble, and I have the responsibility of negligence, hating that when the capital was in its infancy, the Wu family was not abandoned in the city. ”

"Huh!?" Guan Shanyue's eyes widened angrily, only to feel a thunderclap explode in his ears, and he took three steps backwards and almost fell to the ground.

However, he immediately calmed down, it seems that this Wu Sangui will still rebel even if he loses Chen Yuanyuan, but there is just a good reason missing, "Shengshang, Shanhaiguan guards the dangerous pass, Wu Xiang takes Dongping Mansion, it seems that most of the meaning is to support the army and self-respect, and please both sides, he should not easily let Houjin enter the customs from Shanhaiguan, as a Han person, I believe that their father and son know the allusion of borrowing the way to kill Yu." ”

Emperor Chongzhen understood the stakes and wanted to destroy the Wu family and his son now. But now that he is away from Guan Shanyue is commander of the light pole, there is no more available soldiers in his hands, so he can only watch Wu Xiang, a traitor, sit on the name of King Zhou, "Without the fetters and restraints of Liaodong, in order to enter the Central Plains, Houjin will have no scruples to target Daning, and these wild boar skins will definitely try their best to get rid of Daning, a stumbling block to entering the customs." ”

Guan Shanyue's anger surged, and his mouth suddenly bubbled, just now it was just a problem of population, but now it has become a problem of money and population.

These two questions are like two mountains, so that Guan Shanyue is out of breath at all, judging from Emperor Chongzhen's emotions that fluctuate little just now, he has already made a decision in his heart, but as the emperor, he is embarrassed to say it, he has to find a step for Emperor Chongzhen.

He knew that now was not the time to save face, and it would be dangerous to kick the ball again, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said: "Shengshang, I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, and now there is only the lesser of two evils, so we might as well temporarily fulfill Yang Sichang's wish." With the population, there will be a source of soldiers, and then we can build cities on a large scale, firmly block the way for Houjin to enter the customs and defend the south and north of the desert. The minister believes that as long as we are in the same boat, we will be able to overcome the current difficulties. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's grim face eased, and he still had a question in his heart, so he frowned and asked: "There is no shortage of food in Daning, and it is impossible to reduce expenditure, only open source." So, where did you come from, Qian Aiqing, who built the city? ”

The bad news came one after another, Guan Shanyue now wants to die, but when it comes to making money, he has a way, with the current level of the Daning Academy of Sciences, there are still many ways to make money, "Sheng, the money will be handed over to the minister to solve, and the problem of immigration will be left to the saint." ”

The words that Chongzhen wanted to hear most at this time were the words that Guan Shanyue said now, and he immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Ai Qing, you are simply sent by God to assist me, and it is really the 'Optimus White Jade Pillar Sea Purple Gold Beam' of the Ming Dynasty." Thinking about the two Zhongshan wolves in Liaodong again, it broke my heart. ”

Guan Shan Yueqi vomited blood, and he felt that Emperor Chongzhen was acting with him just now, and said angrily: "If the Wu father and son are Zhongshan wolves, the minister is the Siberian tiger, and when the situation is settled, he will pull out his hand, and the minister will twist their heads to make urinals for the saint." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to hold a wedding ceremony for you when Aiqing returns from victory, but now I have to worry about Aiqing again." ”

After he mentioned this, Guan Shanyue remembered that there was still a delicate princess hidden in the house, thinking of the two delicate wives in the family, there was a burst of heat in the dantian, and a picture of the three daughters at night floated in his mind, and the corners of his mouth provoked a lewd smile, found a reason to say goodbye, and hurriedly went to the governor's mansion.
