When Zhu Youzhen saw Huang Liji and Yuan Chonghuan both put forward opposite opinions, only Li Guopu came out to say a few words for Sun Chengzong, and he couldn't help but think of it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCould it be that Li Guopu secretly gave Sun Chengzong some contacts that he didn't know.

In fact, Li Guopu said this not only to help Sun Chengzong, this is the political vision he put forward many times in the cabinet, but at that time, Zhu Youxiao was in power, Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, and Huang Liji dictated the cabinet, and his political vision had no room to play.

The alliance of many parties and the strong enemy appeared at the time of the Warring States Period, and it was also a major breakthrough in political and military development, but after the unification of China, except for the Song Dynasty, there was no dynasty to unite with the enemy, so there will be great pressure on the court, the first aspect is that all the courtiers are not clear about Zhu Youzhen's intentions, this kind of alliance against the enemy, when the courtiers discuss, they will secretly mumble to themselves, unite against the enemy, and sign a corresponding equal covenant, will it make the emperor feel that his face is dull and he has lost the national body, We are the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, but we don't know that this kind of heart will make a mistake. On the other hand, it is the most fundamental factor, our Ming Dynasty scattered the silver two, if we do not receive the corresponding remuneration, the signatory does not abide by the content of the covenant, then we will not lose all our money, a series of problems will make the ministers make up their minds, even the Chongzhen Emperor in the last time and space will think more, do not approve this political alliance, military alliance.

Now is a good opportunity for Li Guopu, who proposed a political alliance with Sun Chengzong, who is trusted by the new emperor, Li Guopu feels that with Sun Chengzong's grace, he can complete his own political vision, why not?

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "The Houjin army is strong, the soldiers are brave, I know, so I attach great importance to Liaodong, although I have to pay the corresponding price for the alliance, but for the matter of Liaodong, it is also very helpful, I am not thinking about how much silver to pay, I am thinking about whether I can get the corresponding remuneration after paying silver, and the Liaodong Frontier can be stable for several years without war." ”

Yuan Chonghuan listened to Zhu Youzhen's suggestion to Sun Chengzong in his heart, and his heart was very urgent, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, think twice, borrow the momentum of others, it is better to strengthen yourself, and put the cost of signing the alliance on the strong border army in Liaodong, then you can really have no worries, as for North Korea, Weichen thought that Mao Wenlong could enter North Korea, but it was not feasible to sign an alliance with the Mongolian tribes." ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, thought about it for a while, and secretly wondered in his heart, in the original history, this Yuan Chonghuan was very keen on the Mongolian alliance, why is he strongly opposed to it now? Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen thought of a possibility, when Yuan Chonghuan was keen on forming an alliance, he served as the governor of Liaodong, and even the supervisor, but now Yuan Chonghuan's position has changed, he has become the secretary of the military department, the position of the station is different, and the angle of considering things has also changed, so he has changed from being keen on forming an alliance to strongly opposing it.

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, Huang Liji spoke: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian people are extremely cunning, as Yuan Shangshu said, even if I send a mission to supervise the implementation of the alliance by Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty, if Mongolia is unwilling to use swords with Houjin, what can the mission do, is it difficult to use a knife to force Lin Dan Khan to send troops?" After Huang Liji finished speaking, he glanced at Li Guopu.

Li Guopu saw that Huang Liji and Yuan Chonghuan tried their best to stop them, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen's somewhat hesitant face, he was afraid that the emperor would change his mind, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Huang Ge Lao and Yuan Shangshu said is a little different, Mongolian people are born in the grassland, and they are all Ding Ding men, if they agree to the covenant, they will never do anything that violates the covenant." Li Guopu regretted it after saying this, didn't this make it clear that Huang Liji had a reason to be angry with himself?

"Hmph, Mongolians are all men, isn't it possible that my Ming man is not a man who believes in his word? Just based on Li Fuchen's words, you know how much the court will pay for this. Huang Liji said angrily.

Of course, national affairs cannot be determined by the nature of the race, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Huang Liji, Yuan Chonghuan, you said that if you sign an alliance, Mongolia will act according to the alliance, which will be beneficial to my Ming Dynasty." ”

"If Mongolia can act according to the agreement, of course it will be beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, but if it is not my race, its heart will be different, can there be a person in this court who can guarantee that Mongolia will act according to the agreement, can Li Fuchen guarantee it?" Yuan Chonghuan said with a full breath.

Li Guopu said confrontedly: "The minister can guarantee that if Mongolia does not act according to the agreement, the minister is willing to die." ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Li Guopu, now in the discussion, not to do a battle of will, Mongolia can act according to the agreement, but also depends on the strategy, I believe that Lin Dan Khan is not a brave and unscrupulous person, he can see the threat of Houjin to him, otherwise how can he move west, in order to avoid Houjin soldiers, sign an alliance with Mongolia, silver grain and even a salt, they can't take it for nothing, I want them to exchange horses and cattle, Ming and Mongolia are under the covenant, form trade, what they need, what Ming needs, we will exchange, not only that, I also have to exchange hostages, change my mind, I found a beautiful, skillful and elegant woman in this palace, gave the status of the eldest princess, as my sister, and let her go to the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, but Lin Dan Khan must also let his son enter Beijing, protect each other, and make a covenant together. ”

The precedent of giving the princess the status of marrying outside the Saiwai was in the Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu were powerful, and the Han Dynasty had to marry in order to stabilize the frontier, but as a parent, which emperor was willing to let his daughter and sister marry outside the Saiwai, so they were all looking for a palace maid in the palace, or let the minister's family have a daughter.

Li Guopu was relieved after listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, this emperor was young and decisive, he had already agreed in his words, and no one in the court at this time would be able to stop him, and his heart was a little excited.

Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Liji were taken aback after listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, and Huang Liji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed again." ”

"Your Majesty, how can a major national event be decided in a few words, and the minister implores the emperor to think about it." Yuan Chonghuan also stopped him.

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The way of life and death of the soldiers, how can it be child's play, the matter of signing the covenant, Yuan Chonghuan will be selected by you in Beijing to assist Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, negotiate the covenant, and supervise the mission. ”

"Yes." Li Guopuqiang said first.

Huang Liji struggled inwardly for a while, and reluctantly obeyed his orders.

Only Yuan Chonghuan was still hesitating, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's hesitation, Zhu Youzhen was also a little apprehensive in his heart, if this Yuan Chonghuan was angry and did not agree to this matter, Zhu Youzhen really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Yes." Yuan Chonghuan said with some reluctance between his words, he figured it out, since Zhu Youzhen had decided, as a courtier, he had to know how to advance and retreat, otherwise the relationship between the monarch and the minister would be very unfavorable to him.

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "Then this matter is decided, and when the covenant has not yet been signed, it is not allowed to leak out." "After settling the two biggest troubles, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want any more accidents.

After the three of them obeyed the order.

Yuan Chonghuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wechen begs the emperor to agree to Wechen's participation in the formulation of the constitution of the covenant. "Since the matter has been decided, then Yuan Chonghuan has also thought about it.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "I'm right, Huang Liji, you can make a covenant with Yuan Chonghuan." ”

"Yes."

After all the affairs were discussed, Zhu Youzhen asked the three of them to retreat, sat in front of the dragon case, picked up Sun Chengzong's recital, and wrote with a red pen: "Quasi, order Huang Liji, Yuan Chonghuan, and Li Guopu to assist." ”

Later, Zhu Youzhen personally wrote a holy decree and sent it to Liaodong.
