Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Zunxian said: "Your Majesty, my lords! Now it is not difficult to see that the Tiance army is fully capable of seizing the land of Gyeonggi, and with the combat power shown by the Tiance army against Jiannu, it is difficult for the army of the king of Qin in various places to defeat the Tiance army. Therefore, you must be cautious in dealing with Wang Yue. Moreover, judging from the conditions proposed by Wang Yue, he did not have a disobedient heart. ”

His words have been made very clear, if Wang Yue had the intention of replacing him, he would not have put forward such a condition at all, and he might have brought troops into Beijing, which is why he strongly opposed the excesses of the imperial court.

Chongzhen's mouth was full of bitterness when he heard it, it turned out that Wang Yue and the starting point city were already behemoths unconsciously, and he had to be cautious as an emperor.

Wen Tiren snorted coldly and said, "Because of this, Wang Yue must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely become a big trouble for the imperial court." It has only been less than a year since the establishment of the Tiance Army, and those soldiers and soldiers are the people of our Ming Dynasty, and there should be many people who are interested in the imperial court. Maybe Wang Yue also understood this, so he didn't dare to act rashly. ”

Xue Guoguan and others also suggested: "The emperor should deal with it sooner rather than later, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to solve the problem of the Tiance Army, do you have a good plan?" Chongzhen also felt that the starting point city was close to Gyeonggi, and once the Tiance army was unstable, it would inevitably endanger the rule of the Zhu dynasty, and it was time to take measures.

Wen Tiren suggested: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this? Your next holy decree deposes the Wang brothers, and after they are reduced to the people, the imperial court will send officials to receive the Tiance army! ”

Liu Zunxian immediately objected: "No! The Wang brothers have just made great contributions in North Korea, and they have made outstanding achievements! How could the court go back on its word? In this conflict between the Tiance Army and Jinyiwei, the person in charge is Wang Yue, what does this have to do with General Wang Zhuo? ”

Xue Guoguan frowned and said: "This matter really can't implicate Wang Zhuo, only dismissing Wang Yue will not help!" ”

Liu Zunxian smiled and said, "Don't take it for granted, even if you can remove the Wang brothers, isn't the starting point city the Wang brothers?" The Tiance Army is no longer separated from the starting point city, and the people, property, and military supplies all come from the starting point city. ”

"Oh, Liu Aiqing knows so much about the starting point city, can he have a countermeasure?" Chongzhen now knows that the starting point city and the Tiance Army are so special, and it seems that it is not as simple as it seems to solve this hidden danger.

Liu Zunxian bowed his hand to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial court is not suitable to take extreme measures against Wang Yue, and he should send a heavy minister to negotiate and mediate with Wang Yue!" ”

Judging from his decades of experience as an official, and from his long-term contacts with Wang Yue, he could not see that Wang Yue had the ambition to be the king and hegemon, after all, the military strength of the Tiance Army already had the conditions for hegemony. But Wang Yue's self-respecting military self-esteem has become a trend, so why did the imperial court force him to rebel?

Xie Sheng, the secretary of the ministry, agreed: "Lord Liu's words are also the meaning of Lao Cheng's country." ”

Wen Tiren resolutely objected: "Lord Liu, could it be that Wang Yue ordered the Tiance Army to kill Jinyiwei and wantonly arrest Jinyiwei Zongqi?" If the court acquiesced in this, where was the majesty of the court? ”

Saying that, he said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Tiance Army is close to Gyeonggi, it cannot be connived at, it must be solved as soon as possible!" ”

Wen Tiren is a nephew, of course, he can't let Wang Yue go, not to mention that Wang Yue's Tiance Army has now become a fierce tiger lying next to Jingshi.

Chongzhen said with a gloomy face: "The imperial court cannot tolerate Wang Yue's behavior, but the movements of the Tiance Army must be taken seriously." ”

As the emperor, Chongzhen certainly cannot allow the existence of forces that endanger the imperial power. If Wang Yue is a local warlord, with the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is still room for compromise, but it is absolutely not allowed near the capital division.

Chongzhen's statement is equivalent to calming down the controversy and determining the major policy, that is, the majesty of the imperial court is inviolable.

Chongzhen's eyes looked at Chen Xinjia, the newly appointed imperial historian of the Zuodu, and asked, "Chen Aiqing, tell me, judging from your aid to the court this time, how loyal is the Tiance Army to the imperial court?" If the imperial court punishes Wang Yue, can his military spirit be used by the imperial court? ”

Chen Xinjia's face changed several times, and there was a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, and he paused before saying: "Enlighten the emperor, the Tiance Army is loyal to the imperial court." However, if the imperial court prosecuted Wang Yue, whether the Tiance army would mutiny, the ministers could not make a conclusion. ”

He simply came to be ambiguous, whether Wang Yue would rebel, judging from the last incident, as long as the court dared to move Wang Yue, Wang Yue would rebel! The combat power of the Tiance army, judging from the battle of Pyongyang, if Wang Yue was reversed, the imperial court would be finished immediately. But he didn't dare to say that Wang Yue and the Tiance army would rebel, Wang Yue was holding his handle, if Wang Yue counterattacked in the future, he would be unlucky.

Unable to get an answer from Chen Xinjia, Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, who had not spoken, and asked, "Yang Aiqing, what countermeasures do you have, let's talk about it." ”

Chongzhen thought it was very strange, this Yang Sichang has always been able to speak well, why didn't he say anything today?

Yang Sichang's eyes glanced at Liu Zunxian, Hou Yi and others, and then he bowed his hand to Chongzhen and said loudly: "Your Majesty, judging from Wang Yue's attitude, Tiance Army has no intention of breaking away from the imperial court. Since it is the army of the imperial court, it must be dispatched by the imperial court. The minister proposed that civilian officials and military generals be sent by the military department, the guards of the Beijing camp, and the Miyun general army Tang Tong to be transferred to serve in the Tiance Army to strengthen the management of the Tiance Army. ”

Yang Sichang's suggestion was understood by everyone as soon as they heard it, this was to mix sand with the Tiance army and gradually empty the Wang brothers.

Chongzhen nodded slowly and said, "Well, Yang Aiqing's proposal is very safe, and this matter will be handed over to your military department." ”

Then he frowned again and said: "But Wang Yue instructed the Tiance Army to kill Jinyiwei, privately arrest Jinyiwei Zongqi, and put forward such a big rebellious condition, wouldn't the imperial court respond?" ”

Chongzhen knew that solving Wang Yue's problem vigorously and resolutely might cause a backlash from the Tiance army, but the face of the imperial court should also be scrupulous.

Yang Sichang smiled slightly and said, "As Lord Liu said just now, you can send a member of the important minister to coordinate with Wang Yue to numb his heart." If the Tiance army finally decided to fall to the imperial court, Wang Yue's problem would of course be solved. If Wang Yue obstructs the arrangement of the imperial court, we will take decisive measures later! ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said slowly: "Wang Yue is now an official residence, and he is already qualified to discuss matters in the court......!" The last word, he dragged out a long sound, which was really meaningful.

Everyone present looked at each other, and they all saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
