Chapter 373: Succession

Sun Chengzong has been very idle recently, and in fact, his official position was originally the most promising.

The Emperor's Lecturer, a position that is closest to the Emperor and the most convenient to please the Emperor.

It's a pity that Lord Sun had a bad year, and he met a little emperor who didn't seek progress and was full of calculations about others, coupled with his jealous and hateful temperament, which caused Lord Sun not only not to get the emperor's favor, but also almost swept out of the capital.

A few days ago, a rumor came out of the capital that the little emperor was suffering from a heart disease, because the death of the first emperor was sent by the little emperor.

Sun Chengzong hated this kind of rumors, but when a person calms down, thinking about the actions of the little emperor and the people appointed around him, these rumors do not seem to be impossible, as the so-called no wind and no waves!

Regarding the rebellion of King Fu's Xingbing, Sun Chengzong was not worried at all, and even when the Liaodong Army did not enter Beijing, he was not afraid, because he knew that Ye Xun would definitely not let Zhu Changxun succeed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, near evening, the streets suddenly resounded with the earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums and cheers.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong is sitting in the study to study a silver coin, the silver coin is very exquisite, the front is the Ming Palace, the back is the Great Wall, and there is also engraved with a "one" character to indicate the value of this silver coin.

It was a silver coin of one or two pieces of silver, and according to the merchant who exchanged it for him, there were coins with a smaller denomination, but he didn't have it with him, and if he wanted to exchange it, he could go to the "Liaoyuan Commercial Bank" where he had any kind of coin.

Not to mention, Sun Chengzong really found the firm according to the businessman's instructions, but they also had to celebrate the New Year, so when he went, the firm was already closed, so he could only wait for the New Year.

As soon as "Liaoyuan Commercial Bank" heard this name, Sun Chengzong understood that this must have been made by Ye Xun.

Liaodong has actually issued new coins, what does Ye Xun want to do?

In fact, this question is easy to answer, because Zhu Youxiao once promised Liaodong to Ye Xun in front of everyone, and said that he would never interfere in anything in Liaodong, that is to say, Ye Xun can do whatever he wants, and your court has no right to interfere at all.

Fortunately, Ye Xun returned to Beijing, otherwise Sun Chengzong really thought that he was going to split Liaodong from the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes Sun Chengzong is also thinking, is this Ye Xun loyal or traitorous?

"Master, master, great joy! Ye Gonggong personally led 20,000 iron cavalry, and in the middle of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve, completely annihilated 50,000 rebels who attempted to sneak attack the Beijing division, and then rushed to Zhending overnight, forcing the remaining rebels to surrender, and the first batch of prisoners has now been escorted into Beijing."

The old butler's surprised voice interrupted Sun Chengzong's contemplation, but Sun Chengzong was not surprised, if he was Ye Xun, he would also choose to send troops on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Noncommittally, he said, "Are the gifts ready?" ”

According to the custom of previous years, he was going to visit a few old friends' houses for the New Year, and then rushed back before dark.

"Don't worry, sir, morning..."

Before the old butler could finish speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

The Sun family is very disciplined, panicked, who is so unruly? Turning his head to look, it was the porter.

"Master, housekeeper, door, outside the door, Ye Gonggong asks to see"

The porter was obviously very nervous, and ran to Sun Chengzong and the old housekeeper, and said eagerly without even waiting for his breath.

"Who did you say was coming?"

Sun Chengzong also thought that he had heard it wrong, under normal circumstances, shouldn't Ye Xun be really determined at this moment? Why did you come back so soon? And he appeared outside his own door, I heard it right!

Without waiting for the porter to repeat, Sun Chengzong walked quickly to the door, he believed that the porter would not dare to tell lies, and Ye Xun's name was not something that others could impersonate.

Ye Xun rushed back alone, the follow-up matters of the Zhending Mansion and the affairs of the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang, naturally there was no need for him to come forward, and the New Year was the reunion day of the people, and there were still a few little women waiting for him in the palace, so he came back alone.

Before entering the palace, Ye Xun felt the need to talk to Sun Chengzong, after all, Liaodong was his root, and if he didn't arrange a capable person to go, he wouldn't be at ease!

Sun Chengzong had seen Ye Xun from a distance, so when he walked quickly to the door and saw Ye Xun standing with his hands in his hands, he immediately knew that it was indeed Ye Xun himself.

"The lower officials see Ye Gonggong, I don't know that Ye Gonggong is coming, and I am not welcome..."

Ye Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's me who came abruptly, what!" Don't invite me in! I'm in a hurry, I'm a little hungry, get me something to eat."

A simple sentence invisibly shortened the distance between the two people, and also made Sun Chengzong's slightly nervous mood relaxed.

"Father-in-law Ye is invited inside, come here, and prepare a banquet"

Ye Xun was not polite, and followed Sun Chengzong to the living room of his house.

It can be seen that Sun Chengzong's family background is okay, there is no shabby Fang Congzhe's family, there is no excessive luxury, simple and elegant, walking in it, it is easy to relax people's mood.

Before the banquet, tea was served first, Ye Xun took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Someone recommended Master Sun to me to go to Liaodong, I don't know what Lord Sun thinks?" ”

Sun Chengzong was taken aback, he was just a left-handed concubine, a lecturer, but he didn't know who took a fancy to him, and he actually recommended himself to go to Liaodong, which was really a bit too unexpected.

Seemingly knowing what Sun Chengzong was thinking, Ye Xun continued: "Lord Sun doesn't have to be humble, Lord Sun's ability and talent, my father has heard of it for a long time, and I took the liberty to come here today, visiting is one thing, the most important thing is to hear Lord Sun's views on the current situation in Liaodong."

It is everyone's wish to be promoted to become rich, but for Sun Chengzong, making a fortune is not a concern, what he wants most is to realize his ambitions.

Wei Yi groaned and said: "Since Gonggong Ye asked, then the lower official will tell me the lower official's opinion on the situation in Liaodong."

"Huang Taiji fled to North Korea, on the surface, Ye Gonggong has completely recovered Liaodong, but there are many hidden risks in Liaodong, first of all, the national issue, the Jurchen in the old slave period, there are many bullying and oppression of various ethnic groups in Liaodong, and now the so-called Dajin Kingdom has been wiped out, those who were oppressed in the past must take revenge on the Jurchen, one of them"

"Second, Huang Taiji is still alive, and there are tens of thousands of Jurchen troops who fled to North Korea, which gives a glimmer of hope to the Jurchen tribes still living in Liaodong, fantasizing that one day Huang Taiji can lead the army to kill back, so these people must be an unstable factor in Liaodong."

"Based on the above two points, Xia Guan suggested that Gonggong Ye should treat the issue of Liaodong with both grace and might, internally, break his thief's courage, and externally, chase and fight fiercely, and not give Huang Taiji any chance to turn over."

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Ye Xun couldn't help but sigh, Old Sun, his name is well deserved, he can always think of Jiangshan Sheji in his heart, this post of governor of Liaodong is none other than you.

After Yuan Yingtai, Liaodong has never had a post of economic strategy, and the new governor of Liaodong has far more jurisdiction than any governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and Ye Xun will give him more power.

In other words, Sun Chengzong will be Ye Xun's successor in Liaodong...
