"Your Majesty, the minister wants to know, who will preside over the strengthening of Shanhaiguan and the new Songjin defense line" Strengthening Shanhaiguan was proposed by Wang Zaijin, and the Jinning defense line was Sun Chengzong's plan, both of them can be said to be the pillars of the empire, but the two seem to have some disagreements. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Originally, the imperial court adopted Sun Chengzong's plan, and because at this time, Wang Zaijin was transferred from Beijing, away from the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and went to Nanjing to be a retired military secretary.

Wang Zaijin thought that the Shanhaiguan should be strengthened, and then with the benefit of the city wall of the Shanhaiguan, he would send a capable cadre to defend the Shanhaiguan, and at the same time take away all the civilians outside the pass, and come to Jianqing Biye and the Jurchens to consume, so that the Jurchens can retreat without a fight. Sun Chengzong believed that a Shanhaiguan was not very safe, but once the only line of defense was breached, the consequences were unimaginable, so he wanted to build a fortress all the way, relying on Songshan Jinzhou as the front fort and the Jurchens to fight, and finally complete a large strategic defense system in depth, so that even if it was a temporary defeat, it would not hurt to lose a few cities.

Wang Zaijin's plan saves money and is risky, while Sun Chengzong's plan costs a lot, but it is relatively safe. But this is just a difference in personal defense strategy, the two plans have their own strengths, according to Chongzhen's vision, if he was in power, he would definitely choose Wang Zaijin's plan, defend Shanhaiguan externally, and start to rectify the rule of officials internally, and implement a series of reforms, after all, for a little emperor who dared to send the crown prince to Nanjing, wiped his sleeves and burned the imperial city and gambled with the Jurchens, he couldn't accept Sun Chengzong's more moderate strategy, or Wang Zaijin's desperate gamble was more in line with his own wishes, In fact, no matter which plan is adopted, if the empire behind it can be thrived again, there will be no problem with anyone's plan, but if the Ming Dynasty continues to slide into the abyss like this, it is useless to use any plan, and the corruption inside cannot be stopped by high defense.

"This matter, I plan to hand it over to Qin Liangyu, the governor of Jiliao, to deal with it, why Aiqing has any questions" I have been in this world for a few years, and I have a little understanding of Sun Chengzong's ability, this person is good at strategy, has a more accurate grasp of the overall situation, and is also very experienced in the way of governing the country for officials, but if he is allowed to go to the battlefield, Chongzhen always feels that he is missing something, compared to the charge on the battlefield, Sun Chengzong is more suitable to do a job such as the secretary of the military department or the head of the cabinet.

And Qin Liangyu is indeed a very good handsome talent, whether it is a tactical leader or a strategic grasp of the overall situation, he is a first-class master, a heroine among women, a rare leader of the army, if the strength is equal to meet on the battlefield, it is Sun Chuanting or Lu Xiangsheng who leads the army, and if it is not good, it will be planted in her hands.

"The old minister has nothing to say" Looking at Sun Chengzong's somewhat tired figure, Chongzhen could only take a breath of conversation, many things are not something that can be decided by one person.

Seeing that Chongzhen's side was almost finished, Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side, cautiously stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, that group of scholars are still waiting in the Hanlin Academy."

was reminded by Wang Chengen, Chongzhen remembered that today was the day he summoned the group of scholars in the Hanlin Academy, "I know, the two Aiqing might as well accompany me to see this group of future elites of the empire."

Receiving the invitation of Chongzhen, the emperor, how could the two of them, as courtiers, refuse such a party, so the two followed Chongzhen to the Hanlin Courtyard.

"I said Brother Zhu, you said that we have been waiting for a long time in the Hanlin Academy, why hasn't this emperor come yet" A scholar standing in front of the courtyard stretched out his head and looked at the road under the shade of the trees in the distance.

"What's the hurry, the emperor, it must be a good opportunity, how can you be like you, you travel all day long, so free" The scholar called Brother Zhu was obviously very familiar with the student next to him, so he opened his mouth and laughed.

"Brother Zhu, don't joke casually here, lest you lose etiquette" The student who was ridiculed was not angry, but reminded the other party of his words and deeds, after all, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, if something goes wrong, it will not be good to enter the eyes and ears of the emperor.

Just as the two were about to enter into mutual praise, there were already sharp-eyed scholars, and they saw a few little eunuchs leading the way on the path in the distance, followed by a young man who thought he was wearing a dragon robe.

"Don't speak, the emperor is coming" "The emperor is here, hurry, stand in line" After a burst of chirping, nearly a thousand scholars here in the Hanlin Academy have lined up on both sides of the road and began to welcome Chongzhen's arrival.

"The emperor has arrived," the sound sounded with the penetrating call of the eunuch's woman and child.

"Students, I've seen the emperor" The scholars who came here are all students who have not been born and have no official status, so they will call themselves students after seeing Chongzhen, after all, all the top three jinshi in name are protégés of the Son of Heaven.

"Let's all get up" Chongzhen walked up to his main seat and sat down, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting stood in the first row in front of Chongzhen, no way, who let these two people be the celebrities in front of Chongzhen, not to mention their respective powers, even the grades of their respective official bodies are not comparable to a group of poor and sour Jinshi who can't mix up their official bodies.

"Don't be restrained, take it easy, this time I asked all the students to come to the Hanlin Academy to gather the strength of all the students and recompile a "Da Ming Law" For the Ming Dynasty's law Chongzhen has long had the idea of revising it, as for the original Da Ming Law, it has long been useless. If according to the original law, most of the officials in the court would probably starve to death, after all, if they are serious, the Ming officials' salaries are only a few buckets of rice and a few pieces of cloth.

It's just that other officials who don't starve to death have embezzled so much silver, and according to the original Da Ming law, a few more heads are not enough to cut off.

"Students are willing to share worries and solve problems for the emperor" An old jinshi who responded quickly immediately stepped forward and replied, and others also reflected at this time. Expressing his willingness to accept this position, you must know that since it is a revision of the law, it is necessary to consult the emperor's intention and communicate with the emperor, and after a long period of contact, as long as you perform well enough, you will naturally enter the emperor's eyes if you don't make any mistakes.

Chongzhen looked at the old jinshi below with a white beard and called himself a student, and felt a little strange, but this guy is also miserable enough, so old, it is definitely not the jinshi under his own Enke, after all, he has not admitted such an old jinshi, which means that this old man is a jinshi left over from his own office, a jinshi, and his hair has turned gray after waiting for so many years, and he has not waited for an official body, which is also unlucky enough.
