Chapter 108: Li Guopu's petty selfishness
Sun Chengzong's recital arrived in Beijing early in the morning, and after arriving at the cabinet, the officials on duty in the cabinet did not dare to delay, and did not let Huang Liji and other auxiliary ministers look at it, so they submitted the recital to the palace of nourishing the heart, of course, this is a bit unruly, but there are priorities, the affairs of Liaodong are now the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, if the matter is wrong, no one can afford it, so the officials on duty in the cabinet are not in accordance with the rules to submit the recital to the palace of nourishing the heart.

Zhu Youzhen gets up early in the morning every day, and today is no exception, Zhang Gong, who had just put on a dragon robe and was waiting on the side, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, just now the cabinet handed over an excerpt, which was played by Lord Sun of Liaodong Jingluo. ”
Zhu Youzhen heard that it was Sun Chengzong who played it, and hurriedly said, "You can bring it to me." ”
"Yes." After finishing speaking, Zhang Gong went to the dragon case and found this piece of music, trotted back, raised his hands, and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.
After Zhu Youzhen took it, he opened the concerto.
In the recital, Sun Chengzong told the Mongol alliance in detail, and also expressed the meaning of Lin Dan Khan.
After Zhu Youzhen finished reading the recital, he said to Zhang Gong: "Quickly go and summon Huang Liji, Li Guopu and Yuan Chonghuan." ”
"Yes."
Zhu Youzhen walked to the dragon case and sat down, holding the chapter in his hand, his thoughts were also a little confused, although he was in favor of forming an alliance with Mongolia, thinking that it would be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, the weak and weak alliance, in order to resist the strong enemy, but everything has two sides, when the covenant is about to be signed, he and Sun Chengzong in general, think about more things, once the covenant is signed, it indicates that the Ming Dynasty will launch a war full of uncertainty in Liaodong at an uncertain time, Zhu Youzhen does not understand the military, and does not consider Sun Chengzong much, But he knew one thing, as soon as the cannon went off, there were ten thousand taels of gold.
Zhu Youzhen is familiar with history, knows the strategy of Houjin, and also knows that Huang Taiji's next target must be Mongolia's Lin Dan Khan, this goal will not change easily, and Huang Taiji, who has great talent, will not allow him to send troops to attack Ming, there will be hidden dangers behind him, of course, after signing the alliance, this idea will be more deep-rooted.
After thinking about it for a while in front of the dragon case, Huang Liji and the three of them were late.
After the ceremony, Zhu Youzhen said: "Sun Chengzong came to the Zhang, saying that the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan has agreed to form an alliance with my Ming Dynasty, but he also has a request, he said that Zhang Huangji, who was sent by the Ming Dynasty in the past, has not enough official position to sign an alliance, what do you think of this matter." ”
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Your Majesty, this Huangji's official position is indeed not high, and the Mongols do not buy it when they sign an alliance, and it is also reasonable, Weichen is willing to go to Mongolia and sign an alliance with Lin Dan Khan." ”
To Zhu Youzhen's surprise, this Yuan Chonghuan actually recommended himself, of course, Zhu Youzhen would never agree to Yuan Chonghuan going to Mongolia to sign the covenant, Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and there are many military affairs, if he goes to Mongolia, who will be responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Ministry of War, not to mention that this time he went to Mongolia, a foreign country, but he had to take a big risk, and Zhu Youzhen did not want Yuan Chonghuan to be in danger.
Zhu Youzhen has not spoken out against it, Li Guopu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that let Yuan Shangshu go to Mongolia to sign the covenant, this matter must not be, if Yuan Shangshu goes to Mongolia, one comes and goes, there are many trivial matters, there is no one or two months to turn back to the Beijing Division, Fu Wei, the squire of the military department, went to Shaanxi to form the Northwest Battalion, Hong Chengchou and the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, these two people's affairs are very busy, if Yuan Shangshu goes to Mongolia, who will take care of the affairs of the military department. ”
"Weichen also did not agree with Yuan Shangshu to go to Mongolia from Beijing." Huang Liji also objected.
"Actually, I don't agree with Yuan Chonghuan to go to Mongolia, this journey is too far, and the military department can't do without Yuan Chonghuan now, Yuan Chonghuan, you don't have to have this idea in your heart, I will definitely not agree."
Yuan Chonghuan's face was a little bad, but when it came to this, he couldn't say anything more.
"Those three Aiqing, who do you think can go to Mongolia?"
Li Guopu continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the cabinet is an auxiliary minister, and Shi Fenglai can do it." ”
"Shi Fenglai?" Zhu Youzhen asked with some confusion.
"Shi Fenglai is an auxiliary minister of my Ming cabinet, it is enough to sign the covenant, and all the conditions have been negotiated with Lin Dan Khan, so Shi Feng will not be delayed for long when he comes here." Li Guopu, who has always been in the middle of the year, has played a trick here, he feels that the time for Huang Liji to step down is getting closer and closer, although looking at the emperor's impression of Shi Fenglai, he will not let Shi Fenglai serve as the first assistant, but it is undeniable that Shi Fenglai has some power in the bureaucratic system of the Beijing Division, he doesn't want something unexpected to happen, at this sensitive moment, send Shi Fenglai far away from Beijing, it is foolproof.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen didn't know what Li Guopu was thinking, but after hearing Li Guopu's words, he also felt that there was some truth, so he asked Huang Liji: "Huang Liji, you think Shi Fenglai is suitable." ”
Although Zhu Youzhen didn't know Li Guopu's careful thinking, Huang Liji, who worked with him, knew very well, he understood Li Guopu's little Jiujiu, and felt that Li Guopu was a little too cautious, so he stepped down, he was the next first assistant of stability, and he still used these tricks. However, Huang Liji also saw through it and didn't say it thoroughly, and when he heard Zhu Youzhen's inquiry, he followed Li Guopu's words and said: "The minister thinks it is appropriate for Shi Fenglai to come." ”
Zhu Youzhen thought about it and felt that Shi Fenglai's identity and qualifications were indeed feasible, so he decided that he would go north to Mongolia in Shi Fenglai's absence.
When Shi Fenglai received the holy decree and asked him to leave Beijing immediately and go to Mongolia to sign the covenant, it can be said that he wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly went to visit Huang Liji, wanting to find out what the situation was, but Huang Liji did nothing to Shi Feng, Shi Fenglai really didn't want to go to Mongolia, so he went to the palace to find Zhu Youzhen, wanting Zhu Youzhen to take back the holy will.
When Zhu Youzhen learned that Shi Feng came to ask for a meeting, he didn't refuse, and directly asked people to take him to the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen listened to Shi Fenglai pour bitter water, saying that he was not in good health and might not be able to complete such a big task, and the court should choose an official who was in the prime of life to go to Mongolia. ”
After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Shi Fenglai knew that the trip to Mongolia was inevitable, so he could only retreat.
Shi Fenglai, who returned to the house, wanted to contact his subordinates to oppose his trip to Mongolia, but he also thought that he was not treated by the emperor in the first place.
Shi Fenglai, who had made up his mind, left the Beijing Division at noon the next day in the send-off of the hundreds of officials of the Beijing Division, and at this time, all the officials of the Beijing Division, including Zhu Youzhen, did not know that this Shi Fenglai would never come back.
And the matter of cutting military households in Shaanxi, also stopped after receiving Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, on the contrary, Dai Shihui had a breath, he felt that the emperor and the court were too partial to Lu Xiangsheng, of course, Dai Shihui's emotions, Li Shuo was very clear, Li Shuo also persuaded Dai Shihui more than once, but although Dai Shihui said that he must abide by the orders of the imperial court, he was still unconvinced, Li Shuo was so shrewd, of course he saw it, but he didn't break it.
