Sun Chengzong's face sank and asked, "Oh? Is it? Do you have any great ideas? ”

Ji Qingwen smiled proudly and said, "That's nature." Teacher Sun, now inside and outside the court, the strongest soldiers and horses are none other than Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang's Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Sichuan Shiqi Tusi Qin's white pole soldiers, it is said that Hong Chengchou's Qin soldiers trained in Shaanxi are also okay, in addition to the Ming Wu Army under my command. In these armies, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry Teacher can hold it; Lu Xiangsheng also used his life under the teacher; The Sichuan white pole soldiers are thousands of miles away from the capital; Hong Chengchou is also beyond the reach of the whip; As for the students, it is natural to take Teacher Sun as the leader......"

"What do you have to say, just say it!" After listening to Ji Qingwen's big words, Sun Chengzong was obviously a little impatient.

Ji Qingwen smiled "hehe": "Teacher, don't worry. The student means that now when the teacher gives an order, the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized is more than half of the imperial court. Liaodong is not far from Jingshi......"

"Shut up!" Sun Chengzong scolded sharply, and even a thick beard that had been on his chin for an unknown number of years flew out, and his whole face became extremely terrifying.

In Ji Qingwen's heart, Sun Chengzong has always been an old man who is kind and seductive, and he has never seen him look like this, and he was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer for a while.

But I heard that the door of the house was gently opened, and through the crack in the door, two very similar faces of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son came in. I heard Wu Xiang ask again: "Old Inspector Sun, what happened?" Do you want to ...... general?"

Wu Xiang asked these words tremblingly and very politely, but Sun Chengzong didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "It's none of your business, let me out." Stay away, if you dare to eavesdrop, see how I cut off the heads of your father and son! ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Wu Xiang hurriedly agreed a few times, then closed the door and retreated.

Ji Qingwen saw that Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan who was responsible for the security of the right wing of the Beijing Division, was frightened like this, and knew that he seemed to have misestimated Sun Chengzong's thoughts, so he hurriedly said: "The teacher is angry, did I say the wrong thing just now?" ”

Sun Chengzong's face was serious, and he replied, "Said the wrong thing? Did you just say the wrong thing? You clearly want to rebel and rebel by saying this, and with your words alone, I can correct you on the spot now! ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, the teacher misunderstood me." I didn't want the teacher to gather these soldiers and horses to attack the Beijing Division, but I just ......"

"Just what?" Sun Chengzong asked viciously.

"It's just that after the first battle of the Manchurian Tartars in Beijing last year, they wanted to take revenge. As long as the teacher moves a little bit in military affairs, with the shrewdness and cunning of Huang Taiji, he will inevitably send troops to plunder the Beijing division again. Then if the emperor wants to get rid of the Tartars, he will inevitably ask for help from the teacher. At that time, the teacher has so many troops in his hands, and the division is famous, so he can naturally talk to the emperor about the conditions, for example, let Yuan Chonghuan go first, and then talk about ......"

"Huh, that's your reason? You call yourself self-respecting and blackmailing the community, can't this kind of sin kill you? Sun Chengzong's tone was a little calmer, but he was still very stern, "Save Yuan Chonghuan?" Do you think Yuan Chonghuan was taken down by the emperor? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was arrested by Emperor Chongzhen, and Ji Qingwen was an eyewitness to the whole process, of course he knew why Yuan Chonghuan was convicted and imprisoned for committing Emperor Chongzhen's taboo - the most direct reason was not because he had the only mobile combat unit in the imperial court, but he did not follow Emperor Chongzhen's instructions during the battle to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with Emperor Taiji of Manchuria.

It was for this reason that if Yuan Chonghuan was arrested by Emperor Chongzhen, then according to Ji Qingwen's method, Sun Chengzong, who led the wolf into the room, would have to be cut by a thousand knives as a matter of course.

However, Ji Qingwen was not afraid at all, and said, "Teacher, don't worry. The reason why the emperor was able to dispose of Yuan Chonghuan was because Yuan Chonghuan easily left the army and entered the Beijing Division, and there were a number of important ministers in the court, and there were quite a few troops outside the court to support the emperor. But the teacher is different, now that the party struggle in the court is rising again, these important ministers may not be monolithic. What about the army outside the court? It's even more like no one who can fight. What's more, I have money for the students, and Zheng Zhilong can transport grain on behalf of him at sea, as long as the teacher does not move when the Manchurian Tartars enter the army, as long as it is delayed for ten days and half a month, the emperor will inevitably be anxious, and the time will ......."

Ji Qingwen was still talking about it, and Sun Chengzong interrupted his words again: "Is your trick a knife to kill?" Or Wei Wei to save Zhao? Who taught you such a ruthless idea? Is it the scholar named Li Yan next to you? ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head and said, "On the way from Jingshi to Shanhaiguan, the students figured it out by themselves. ”

Ji Qingwen didn't lie.

Although Li Yan is not the kind of scholar who is broad and useless, he is also an orthodox believer in Confucianism, and asking him to make the idea of supporting troops to blackmail the emperor is obviously against the Confucian morality of "monarchs, ministers, fathers, and sons". And Ji Qingwen is a modern person who has crossed over from the 21st century, and in the concept of modern people, there is more pity, disdain and use of the emperor, but there is no feudal etiquette and morality, so it is not surprising to come up with such an idea.

However, Sun Chengzong is also this kind of person who grew up in feudal etiquette, although he knows that Ji Qingwen's method can indeed force Emperor Chongzhen to a dead end, so as to obtain a bargaining chip with the emperor. But doing so, after all, is contrary to the values he has practiced for more than half a century, and even if he thinks of it, he may not dare to do it.

So Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "Ji Qingwen, Ji Qingwen, you still don't understand!" You may really be able to rescue Yuan Chonghuan with this method, but in this way, Yuan Chonghuan will also become an out-and-out chaotic minister and thief. What is the use of rescuing such rebellious ministers and thieves? Moreover, in this way, the prestige of the emperor and the court will definitely be greatly reduced, and the petty people in the government and the opposition will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the gains will outweigh the losses. You know that? ”

To be honest, Ji Qingwen really doesn't understand this truth.

I heard him hurriedly say: "So, what does Teacher Sun mean, can he really only watch Yuan Chonghuan be at the mercy of those pickled officials in the court?" In the current imperial court, how many generals are left like Yuan Chonghuan? It's really hard to toss if you kill one less one! ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "Yuan Chonghuan is dead, and he has his own descendants." In addition to you Ji Qingwen, Lu Xiangsheng, who has been building and fighting with his old man these days, is also quite talented, and there are considerable points in administration, military training, and fighting. Although he is not a handsome person who can take charge of one side, and he may not be able to open up the territory, he can stick to Liaodong and prevent the Tartars from encroaching on the territory of the Whale Devouring Heavenly Dynasty, and he is still competent......"

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "So, Yuan Chonghuan's life can only be resigned to fate?" ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head silently, and nodded again: "Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces." Ji Qingwen, have you ever seen that the sky is going to rain, the wind, and the thunder, can you stop it with manpower? ”

Ji Qingwen secretly said in his heart: "Of course I have seen it!" In order to host the Olympic Games, didn't they use the latest science and technology to prevent the torrential rain that was supposed to fall from the sky, leaving a good weather for the grand opening ceremony? Although Emperor Chongzhen is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and the so-called son of God, he is not God himself, so he may not be able to go against this heaven and change this life! ”

So Ji Qingwen said with a bit of spirit: "Since Teacher Sun is unwilling to stand up for Yuan Chonghuan, it is inconvenient for me to force the students." But Yuan Chonghuan's life, I saved it, I just hope that Mr. Sun can stand by and watch when the time comes, don't go against me, how about it? ”

Sun Chengzong's qualifications are old, his status is noble, and his military power is heavy, even the emperor treats him with a teacher's courtesy, and no one has ever spoken to him so directly and fiercely, and his heart is also aroused, and he said: "Okay, you have a kind!" It's a hateful old man who is blind, he taught Yuan Chonghuan first, and then taught you Ji Qingwen, all of whom are people who do evil and are bold. Okay, I don't care about this matter, if you have the ability, go into trouble, just be careful not to be the Monkey King in the hands of the Buddha! ”
